"What are you daydreaming about?"
The guild employee girl with short pink hair patted her colleague's shoulder.
She had just left her workstation for something, and when she came back she saw Aina in a daze.
This is very rare for Aina, who is always very serious at work.
"Ah? Nothing, nothing..."
The half-elf girl suddenly came to her senses and put away the form with a guilty conscience.
Although she was very quick, her colleague and friend still caught a glimpse of some of the content.
"Hey, a registration form for new adventurers."
Misha looked at Aina thoughtfully, with a rather playful gaze.
"It seems like you've met someone you really like. Whose child is he?"
"No, what are you talking about?"
"Still trying to make excuses - your ears are clearly turning red!"
Aina subconsciously touched her pointed ears which felt a little hot and sighed resignedly.
"…He is a young man who has just become a member of Hephaestus' Familia."
"He chose me as his adventure advisor without hesitation."
"Eh…"
Hearing her friend explain the reason, Misha couldn't help but let out a drawn-out sound.
"Isn't this great? It would be a great sense of accomplishment to witness with your own eyes the newcomers you have led into the adventurer's path grow step by step into strong men who can stand on their own."
"That's what I said."
Aegina shook her head with a complicated expression and did not explain further.
In fact, she has served as a consultant to many new adventurers and has invested a lot of energy and emotion in this work.
However, the chances of new adventurers encountering accidents in dungeons are still too high.
Almost more than half of the new adventurers lost contact when Aegina served as an adventure consultant.
Most of these people were buried forever in the dark dungeon.
After that, Aegina rarely asked to be an adventuring advisor.
"I don't know...how far he will go."
After putting Kevin's information registration form into the filing cabinet she was responsible for, Aina felt a long-lost sense of motivation.
In order to respond to the boy's trust, she must also become a qualified adventure consultant!
"When he comes to the guild next time, we can set up a time to have a serious discussion."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After meeting up with Lily who was waiting at the door, Kevin gave instructions to explore the dungeon.
"Since this is my first time exploring, I'll only walk around the very shallow floors and come back."
"Try to leave the dungeon before dark."
By then, Kevin's death penalty should also be gone.
You can seamlessly transition from dungeons to exploration of the Terraria world.
As for rest...the time flows faster in the Terraria world, so you can go there to rest.
"Understood, Captain."
Because they have formed a team, Lily's way of addressing Kevin has also changed.
However, after she responded, she looked at Kevin's outfit with some confusion.
"But... did the captain really not forget to bring the tools for exploration?"
"Even for a short exploration of less than a day, at least some basic props are needed, such as torches."
Considering that Kevin had just registered as an adventurer, a 100% fresh "rookie."
Lilyluka couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Whether or not he could get any benefit from Kevin was another matter.
We were thankful that the previous explorations were successfully completed.
"There's no need to worry about that."
Kevin glanced at the inventory, which still had dozens of torches in reserve.
As well as practical items such as ropes and shurikens found in treasure chests.
"Really..."
Lily muttered quietly, clearly not quite believing it.
Because Kevin was wearing only a set of light leather armor and a dagger at his waist.
There is no longer any room to carry supplies.
"Forget it, we're just exploring the first floor of the dungeon, there shouldn't be any accidents."
After comforting herself in her heart, Lily put on the huge adventurer's backpack and quickly followed Kevin.
The first floor of the dungeon is considered the "newbie village" for Orario adventurers.
The passages, forks, crossroads and other structures composed of blue walls and ceilings are intricately arranged to form a maze space.
In this maze, you will encounter monsters that suddenly appear from time to time - goblins!
"Slimes and goblins are indeed the most classic low-level monsters in the other world."
Seeing the short monster blocking his way, Kevin couldn't help but sigh.
There are also monsters called "Goblins" in the Terraria world.
However, those goblins are much stronger than the few soldiers in front of them who can only attack with their sharp teeth and claws.
The Goblins in Terraria not only crush these small fry in terms of numbers.
They even have a clear division of labor like adventurers!
Goblin Warrior, Goblin Archer, Goblin Mage...
Once certain conditions are met, the goblins will gather their forces and launch an invasion!
Even Kevin felt a headache when he thought of the overwhelming goblin army.
In comparison, the goblins in front of him had relatively clear eyes.
After a few rounds, Kevin killed the goblins with the dagger in his hand.
The bodies of the dead goblins slowly melted into the floor of the maze.
Only a pool of blood and a few broken blue-purple crystals were left on the spot.
"Captain is awesome! He killed these goblins so easily!"
Lily, who had been hiding outside the battlefield, rushed over with shining eyes. She didn't care that there was blood on the crystals, and picked them up and put them in her backpack.
These crystals are one of the most important loot when exploring a dungeon, magic stones!
The so-called "magic stone" is the crystallization of magic obtained from dungeon monsters.
It can be used as a gold exchange item and can be directly exchanged for money in the guild's gold exchange office.
It can also be processed into various magic stone props, such as the "magic stone lamp" that uses magic stone as energy.
In addition, there are also uses such as magic stone lighters and magic stone refrigerators.
As a city built on a dungeon, Orario's demand for magic stones is also astonishing.
Therefore, magic stones have become the main source of income for adventurers when exploring dungeons.
"Is this the magic stone? It's a little small."
Kevin also picked up a piece of magic stone fragment from the ground and compared it. It was only the size of a fingernail.
"Because this is only the 'shallow' area of the dungeon."
Lily explained as she packed her backpack.
"Monsters on floors 1 to 4 only drop magic stones of this specification, and the money you can exchange for them is very little."
"A small piece of magic stone like this can probably only be exchanged for 100 faris."
Kevin calculated the purchasing power and sighed.
"It's really hard for ordinary new adventurers."
Although 100 faris can buy 3 servings of fried potato balls, it cannot buy a decent piece of equipment.
Even the ordinary iron dagger in Kevin's hand would cost at least 2,000 faris.
We also have to consider the damage and maintenance of the equipment, which is another expense.
Fortunately, Kevin has his own Terraria world with him, so he has no shortage of equipment and even has excess production capacity!
"The area ahead is unlit, take this."
After clearing the goblins blocking the way, Kevin observed the terrain, took out two torches from the inventory, and threw one to Lily.
"Is this... a magic torch?!"
Seeing the flame burning steadily on the torch, Lily couldn't help but exclaim.
Even when thrown into the air, the flame on the torch never flickered, always maintaining the maximum brightness...
What else could this be but a magic torch?!
In the market of the Tower of Babel, such a magic torch starts at at least 10,000 faris!
"Magic torch? Well... sort of."
As a member of Hephaestus's family, Kevin naturally knew about this kind of props.
But the "Terraria Torch" he made by hand is much stronger than the magic torch.
A nuclear-powered torch with infinite burning time, are you afraid of it?
"It's just the first floor of the dungeon. There's no need to use such a precious item, right?"
Lily said in a low voice, but her little thoughts in her heart became active.
It seems that her initial guess was correct, Kevin is indeed a big fish!
And if she had seen correctly, he had taken out the two torches out of thin air.
In other words...Kevin might have extremely precious "space props" on him!
Thinking of this, the dwarf girl couldn't help but licking her lips.
The amber eyes reflected a cunning light under the light of the torch.
"We must get this 'space prop'!"
