Chapter 65. Ancient Ruins (2)
4.
Adventurers say.
“There are still many places in Maple World that have not been discovered yet!”
There are so many places to go on adventures.
It was no exaggeration.
Even now, hundreds of years later, in the age of adventurers, new places are often discovered.
The ancient ruins of Partem were also like that.
It is the most recently discovered location, and was previously hidden behind an unknown seal.
In other words, it is a story that was unknown to the world for a long time!
For adventurers, it was a place that would make their hearts pound.
“Look at Partem! It’s full of things that never existed before!”
“Okay, then you go.”
However, the adventurers did not show much interest in the new world.
There were several reasons.
“Even if I go there, I won’t be able to do anything properly because of the archaeologists.”
As soon as ancient ruins appeared, the first ones to move quickly were archaeologists.
To obtain information on ancient ruins.
Of course, it wasn’t that the adventurers were afraid of archaeologists.
“Employed by the Adventurer’s Guild.”
The problem was that the background of the archaeologist was none other than the Adventurer’s Guild.
It was a very natural move for the Adventurer’s Association, which had to provide information for adventurers.
Of course, it was an awkward situation for adventurers whose goal was to excavate items rather than investigate ruins.
They say it’s excavation, but what the adventurers do is closer to grave robbery.
That wasn’t all.
“I know what’s coming.”
It would be too reckless to venture there secretly without any information.
“I don’t see anything particularly remarkable.”
And that was one of the reasons why there was nothing out there yet that would excite adventurers.
Of course, that was the biggest reason.
“You’re busy conquering Mystic Gate, why are you going there?”
For adventurers, there is already a very sweet stage that they cannot see the end to no matter how much they adventure.
There was no reason in many ways.
“It’s a relic of Fried!”
But the moment that reason arose, things changed.
In particular, everyone thought.
“First one to eat it belongs to him!”
“We have to go before everyone else rushes in!”
Because the competition is more intense than ever, you have to hurry more than ever.
Moreover, it was blue grade.
“The best people in each organization will take action.”
Adventurers will receive more comprehensive support than ever before.
That is, everyone thought.
“This is an event of all time!”
This Blue Grade Mystic Gate conquest will be a historic event that will shake up Maple World.
So interest has grown even more.
“I’m not interested in Fried’s brooch, but I can never miss a big event like this.”
Even those who weren’t particularly interested will become interested.
So everyone enjoyed this situation.
Of course, there were exceptions.
“I can’t control the adventurers at all.”
For the Adventurer’s Association, which was already busy with the magnifying glass item that could be used to view the Mystic Gate, the appearance of these adventurers was a cause for concern in many ways.
Moreover, the adventurers who gathered were not ordinary.
It was full of famous people, including 6th Circle adventurers.
“The outlaws of the Elnas Mountains are coming too.”
Even wanted outlaws gather around the sweet scent of blood and money.
It would have been better if these people gathered together were fighting each other to the death at the ancient ruins of Partem.
After the Adventurer’s Guild evacuates the archaeologists, all they have to do is clean up the remaining corpses.
That was the problem.
“Everyone is gathering at Hennessy.”
5.
Henesys.
This city, located in the southern part of Victoria Island, had two nicknames.
One is the city of archers!
It is none other than Helena, the great elf archer, who raises archers.
“and.”
And another nickname was none other than Market City.

As the expression suggests, the largest market in Maple World, including Victoria Island, was in Henesys.
“This is no joke.”
Everyone, including Divo, was amazed by its size.
That was amazing.
First of all, even if it was only Devo, it was from the port of Leith, and there was a large market formed in the port of Leith.
Even if it wasn’t a market, there were quite a few adventurers who were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of goods arriving by ship.
“This is no joke.”
In the case of Miner, it was from the Nautilus, which was second only to Miner in scale.
Even if that weren’t the case, El Palm Party had already traveled all over Maple World.
Still, surprisingly, the Hennessy Market was huge.
Of course, there was that too.
“What? Have you never been here before, Golden Eye?”
Not everyone comes to Hennessy Market.
“Hey, how did you come here, Pirate Girl? You’d be suspicious the moment you came. And we don’t get along with the Archers. Even if that’s me, Divo, have you never been here before?”
There was a reason.
“There’s no reason to come. You can get most everything at the Port of Lees. What about the rest?”
“This is my first time here too.”
“Yeah, this will be your first time, Kiri. You won’t have to go to the market to buy anything.”
“This is my first time too.”
“Ralph? You?”
But it was unexpected for everyone that even Ralph was experiencing it for the first time.
He who loves money more than anyone else has never been to the best market in Maple World?
“why?”
“There are too many items here.”
“Why is that?”
“There are so many that it’s hard to keep track of everything.”
“ah!”
And everyone understood what followed.
At the same time, I was surprised.
That meant that there were a ton of items in the Hennessy Market, to the point where Ralph would say something like that.
At that point, only one person was left.
“Has the boss come?”
To that question El Palm answered:
“I came and saw it.”
“also!”
El Palm did not tell his colleagues who nodded at the fact.
‘But after it burns.’
The Henesys Market that El Palm saw was not a place overflowing with people, but a place overflowing with corpses.
Anyway, everyone was surprised by the size of Hennessy Market.
I felt it at the same time.
“But the atmosphere is tense.”
There was a noise in the atmosphere that filled this place.
I also knew why.
“I see a lot of adventurers trying to get to the ancient ruins of Partem.”
Since Henesys is the closest city to the ancient ruins of Partem, it is only natural that all kinds of adventurers and outlaws would gather here.
“You punks.”
Divo laughed at them.
“Get ready to have some hard times. The boss is here.”
Since El Palm, of all people, had come here, the possibility of Fried’s legacy being passed on to them was zero.
That’s why everyone thought.
“Okay, so now let’s get supplies and head out right away? I’ve already finished most of the preparations!”
With time being more important than ever, El Palm will be leaving soon.
“I am ready for anything.”
“Me too. I knew this would happen, so I prepared everything and came.”
“I’m done too.”
To such colleagues El Palm said:
“We wait here.”
“yes?”
I have no intention of leaving.
“No, boss? Isn’t this a race against time? Everyone will be rushing in like hyenas to clear the area quickly.”
To his colleagues who questioned that fact, El Palm said:
“There is no quick attack.”
“What is that… … .”
“Even if they gather like hyenas, they are 6th circle adventurers. You can never challenge them rashly.”
“ah.”
“Even a Blue-tier, 500-person gate. The highest difficulty, a place that has never been officially cleared before. I don’t think there’s anyone who’s confident enough in their skills to enter such a place.”
Everyone will rush in, but the real ones will never give in easily.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there was infinite time.
“But won’t we take on the challenge once we get all the members together?”
Now that famous adventurers are gathering one after another, once the 500 people are filled, they will soon take on the challenge.
“So there isn’t much time.”
El Palm knew it too.
“So, in the meantime, we’ll be contacting the Adventurer’s Association.”
“Adventurer’s Association?”
“I will make a deal with them.”
“Deal?”
“I will demand compensation. According to the strategy.”
“Conservative?”
Everyone looked dumbfounded at El Palm’s subsequent words.
“No, boss. Why would the Adventurer’s Association give us money? We have to conquer the area even if they don’t give us money.”
This time, there are so many adventurers who want to participate in the fight for Fried’s Brooch that they’ll pay money for it.
But that doubt didn’t last long.
“El Palm.”
Because I came.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Bis.”
Because I came.
“Elena wants to see you.”
The guardian of Henesys.
6.
In Maple World, adventurers were truly self-centered beings.
They are beings who will use any means necessary to further their adventure!
And that was the essence of the adventurer.
If you do something because someone tells you to and don’t do it because someone tells you not to, you can’t be called an adventurer.
However, there were a few beings that such adventurers followed.
In the case of wizards, it was Heinz, who was called the wizards’ master.
And for the archers, it was Helena.
Helena’s influence on the archer adventurers was absolute.
He could practically be called the teacher of all archers!
That wasn’t all.
Helena could be said to be one of the leaders of the Adventurer’s Association at this point.
First of all, she was an elf and the oldest of all the adventurers.
Born before the Black Wizard was sealed, what explanation is needed?
She also actively worked for the adventurers. Unlike Heinz, a similarly skilled wizard teacher who only stayed in Ellinia, Helena actively carried out missions for the Adventurer’s Association.
And she put a lot of effort into nurturing adventurers.
He immediately established an archer training school in Henesys and put a lot of effort into training archer adventurers, and he also never spared teaching and helping other adventurers who were not archers.
‘8 circles.’
Of course, one of the biggest reasons why adventurers respect and follow her is because she is an adventurer who has reached the 8th circle.
‘Like Heinz.’
That he is one of the most unique beings in the world.
She was now in front of the El Palm party.
“Thank you for responding to my sudden call.”
Everyone bowed their heads in front of Helena.
She was that distant.
There is one exception.
“No. Lady Helena called me, so as an adventurer, I should respond.”
El Palm did not avoid Helena’s eyes but looked straight at her.
It wasn’t just for a fight.
‘Helena.’
Rather, what El Palm felt at this moment was gratitude.
‘I owe you so much.’
A world where the Mystic Gate opens and monsters burst out, and where the followers of the Black Mage run rampant.
In that world that was like hell for adventurers, Helena saved countless people.
The expression ‘leader of adventurers’ is so fitting.
If it weren’t for Helena, El Palm would have died long ago, let alone become the last adventurer.
“Do you know why I called you here?”
“It must be because of Fried’s brooch. Don’t you want it back?”
“that’s right.”
Of course, the debt owed at that time was literally a debt owed at that time.
Not now.
“As long as the compensation is right, anything is possible.”
El Palm, he was willing to ask for a price this time.
There was no sense of debt.
‘There is not much time.’
After all, after the Mystic Gate opened, Meso was basically trash.
That’s why.
“How much do you want?”
El Palm, he spread one finger, and Divo, who was right next to him, said in astonishment at the fact.
“Hey, boss! One hundred million mesora?”
And Helena also looked surprised at the amount of 100 million mesos that came out.
“It’s not 100 million mesos.”
To them El Palm said:
“It’s 1 billion mesos.”
