I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 189

Chapter 189. Dark Elf Girl (2)

“Do any of you remember the whereabouts of the Revenant Cane, a magic scepter? I’ve been searching for it tirelessly but can’t find it. If, by any chance, you know of it, I’d be willing to reward you handsomely just for sharing its location.”

Dark Elf girl inquired. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮

My heart was pounding.

The Revenant Cane. It was an item I had heard about and seen during the incident at the Dwarf Village.

It was a precious artifact required to create powerful undead monsters called Revenant.

Two cultists had tried to use it to turn the Dwarf warrior, Berga, into a Revenant.

It should still be in the treasure vault of that Dwarf village, although I wasn’t sure what had happened to it after our discussions about its disposal.

Dark Elf girl standing before me was asking about its location and had mentioned she had been searching for it “tirelessly”.

What did this mean?

If I were to admit that I knew, and if I were to tell her its location, would she head to that Dwarf village and go to any lengths to obtain it? “Any lengths” meant she might resort to any means necessary.

The Dwarf warriors had warned.

“It’s an item that should never fall into the hands of the wicked.”.

Although the girl in front of me didn’t appear evil at first glance, she was probably not just an ordinary individual.

My instincts as a seeker were sounding alarms when I was taking into account the forces on her side.

Should I lie and say I didn’t know?

But it had already been too long since I had fallen silent.

I wasn’t skilled at lying, to be honest.

What would be the risk of getting caught in a lie in front of the person I was facing?

After considering various factors, I concluded.

“I do have a rough idea. However, I’m hesitant to disclose it to you.”

In the end, an honest person can only fight honestly. The Dark Elf girl seemed genuinely delighted by my words.

“R-really!? Please tell me where it is! I won’t do anything bad… I think… so…”

However, she stumbled a bit at the end.

She didn’t seem like she was lying, but how should I interpret this?

“If you’re seeking the Revenant Cane, then you must be aware of its danger, right? In that case, you understand it’s not something you casually reveal it to others. Don’t you?”

“Ugh, that’s true… but I’m not a harbinger of evil. Can’t you believe that? Otherwise, I can easily defeat and torture you to reveal its location.”

She said it boldly.

She said she could beat us, 3 adventurers and a Griffin.

And not a hint of surprise about ud having a Griffin by her side either.

I didn’t know her level.

But from the various pieces of information so far.

It was likely that Dark Elf girl in front of me had done the limit break event.

Then, Dark Elf girl sighed and placed her hand on her chest.

“Then, would you believe me if I said this? I’m Yusefia, one of the 8 Heroes who once defeated the Demon Lord. I risked my life to save humanity. I’m a paragon of virtue. Can you believe that?”

“Uh…?”

Unexpectedly, from an unexpected angle, came unexpected words, and I was taken aback.

“So, why did one of the 8 Heroes, Yusefia, decide to accompany us?”

The next morning.

In front of the inn in Linton Village, which was the meeting place, we explained the situation to Eslyn-san, our client. She asked that.

The question was answered by Yusefia, a Dark Elf girl who was with us.

“Yes. Even if I claim to be one of the 8 Heroes, there’s no way to verify it. So, I decided to accompany you to Bargamund, who lives in the Dwarf City of Dagmahar. He knows me well.”

“I see… I understand the story, but I can’t quite grasp the reality of it.”

“Just think of it as getting powerful protection for free, human merchant. Although, unless something extraordinary happens, these 3 alone should be more than enough.”

Yusefia pointed at the three of us.

By the way, when I asked her about her level, she casually replied, “I’m level 75.”.

But when I asked her to show her stats, she firmly declined, saying, “That’s a maiden’s secret☆.”.

I wondered if the term “maiden” was appropriate for her, given her age.

I kept my thoughts to myself since I didn’t want to upset her.

Kazane-san and Yuzuki, on the other hand, were teasing me as usual, saying, “Asking a woman you’ve just met about her stats is pretty tasteless, Daichi-kun,” “Yeah, that’s right, senpai is always like this.”. It seemed like they had already warmed up to Yusefia.

At this point, I was considering that maybe I could tell her the location of the Revenant Cane. But since we were only about a day away from reaching our destination, I decided to have her accompany us to the Dwarf City instead.

“Well, alright then. Let’s give it one last push. We’re heading for Dagmahar.”

With those words from our employer, Eslyn-san, we left the entrance of Linton Village.

We followed suit, starting on the remaining part of our journey to our destination.
