After observing carefully, Denken stood up.
Leading the way, he approached the right side of the hallway.
Only then did they continue moving forward.
"Old man's experience is truly rich!"
Laufen couldn't help but praise.
"After all, he is the chief Court Mage."
Richter smiled slightly.
Unity is strength.
The old man's idea was completely fine.
After all, that hidden mechanism just now was indeed not discovered by juniors like them.
"Be careful."
Methode gently reminded, holding Länge's small hand.
"Okay."
Länge had just obediently nodded the second before.
The next second, she couldn't help but cry out in panic.
"What is this!"
"What?"
Denken suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Richter, Laufen, and Methode were also on high alert!
"This... here..."
Länge tremblingly pointed at a mass of black substance in the center of the hallway that was emitting a rotten smell and was sickeningly disgusting.
"Hmm, just a dead adventurer, I guess."
A false alarm.
Denken relaxed.
It was a good thing his body was strong to be scared like this as an old man.
He didn't expect that even a mere corpse could scare her like this?
For a moment.
Looking at the delicate girl with pink long hair behind him.
Denken began to question his own idea.
Is it really true that there is strength in numbers?
Then what role did this girl play in the team?
A white reflection gleamed on Denken's monocle.
But he didn't say anything more.
Instead, he continued to lead the way, walking towards the depths of the dungeon.
"He died miserably, looks like he's completely turned into a puddle of mud."
Richter looked at the still-shocked girl.
Even he, who was usually stubborn, pursed his lips to comfort her.
Whether it had any effect was another matter.
"Don't worry, you just need to stay obediently by my side."
Methode smiled helplessly.
Reaching out, she rubbed Länge's pink cat ears.
She comforted her.
"Mhm mhm..."
Länge, who was startled again by Richter's shocking remark, finally looked a little better.
Her face regained a little color.
It was hard to imagine how such a girl could become a Mage, and even harder to imagine.
How she passed the Mage exam.
Laufen blinked her eyes curiously.
Looking at the girl who was the same age as her, she felt extremely curious.
"Opening this door will lead to the next level of the dungeon."
Arriving in front of the huge stone door.
Denken reached out his hand, preparing to activate the Magic specifically used for opening doors.
But he was suddenly stopped by Methode.
"Hmm?"
Denken frowned and looked back at Methode.
He saw the latter point her finger towards the top of the stone door.
There were two massive Gargoyles staring fiercely at the few people!
"Get down!"
Just as Denken's gaze looked towards the Gargoyles!
The Gargoyles suddenly moved!
They bared their ferocious fangs, flapping their huge wings, carrying strong winds, and suddenly swooped down towards the few people!
"Zoltraak!"
After the group agilely dodged the Gargoyles' attacks, they immediately launched a counterattack!
Beams of dazzling light illuminated the dungeon!
Tricky angles!
For the Gargoyles, there was no way to avoid this!
"Boom!"
Soon, one Gargoyle had most of its body blasted away!
"Are we safe?"
Länge, who was lying on the ground, raised her head.
But she quickly showed a terrified expression!
"Roar roar roar!"
The other undamaged Gargoyle charged towards her again!
It completely treated her like a lamb waiting to be preyed upon!
"Defense Magic!"
Methode frowned and activated her defense.
The next second, she quickly picked up Länge and hid behind Richter.
"Crack - Snap!"
A sound like shattering glass rang out!
Facing the Gargoyle's fierce dive, the defense Magic was almost useless!
"Earth Barrier!"
Richter was first startled when he saw the two people hiding behind him.
Then he quickly touched the ground with his hand, summoning a hard rock wall to block in front of the few people.
"It's useless, Richter!"
Denken, who had finished blasting one Gargoyle, saw this scene and rushed towards the few people without stopping.
Just as the Gargoyle flew over the rock wall!
Denken's attack Magic also arrived in time!
"Boom!"
Accompanied by the release of a terrifying aura.
The two Gargoyles completely died under Denken's hands.
"That was really thrilling!"
Richter patted the dust off his body.
He couldn't help but smack his lips.
He didn't expect that just two Gargoyles would make everyone overwhelmed.
"It's good as long as no one is injured."
Denken sighed.
He took a deep look at Länge.
He shook his head.
"At this level of danger, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be time to smash the bottle."
Methode gently put down Länge, whom she was holding.
Taking out the escape golem from her pocket, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"After all, it's a Level 1 Mage test."
"Being given something like this to save one's life is already doing one's utmost."
Richter, however, saw it more openly.
However, everyone's eyes couldn't help but notice Länge.
"I.." "I'm sorry..."
Länge lowered her head in shame.
Facing the sudden danger, she couldn't even make movements like defense or counterattack.
She could only keep dragging them down.
"Länge..." Methode gently half-squatted.
Keeping her gaze level with Länge.
Länge gently bit her small canine tooth.
But the expected complaints and accusations did not come.
"Even we have times when we are negligent..." "Promise me you'll protect yourself, okay?"
Methode said with a gentle and serious look in her eyes.
This scene couldn't help but calm Länge's originally uneasy heart.
"Mhm mhm!"
"I will definitely work hard!"
Länge clenched her fists and said firmly.
"Remember to smash the bottle when necessary."
Methode nodded with a smile.
She gently pointed her index finger at the escape golem Länge was holding.
She reminded her.
"Ahem, it's time to continue moving forward."
Denken looked at this heartwarming scene.
He couldn't help but blush slightly.
For a moment, he also became emotional.
He didn't expect that he, who thought he had lived most of his life and understood the myriad aspects of life.
Was merely a selfish person.
He was completely inferior to this blonde woman.
At least her patience and magnanimity were not something he could compare to.
"What are you thinking about, old man?"
Laufen gently nudged Denken with her arm.
She smiled sweetly, showing her beautiful crescent eyes.
"Since it's time to go, why don't you lead the way?"
"Mhm mhm."
Denken nodded.
He recovered his composure and smiled kindly.
Reaching out, he opened the door to the next level of the dungeon.
