“Are you okay?”

Kite looked down at Ruela. Whether she had no energy or not, she closed her eyes and just nodded her head slightly.

“Ruela? Are you okay?”

Following Rafael’s question, Hagen also came back and forth around Ruela, asking, “Is it still hard to open your eyes?”

After signaling quietly to the friends ga
“If we don’t go in, will the fifth named boss come this way?”

Kite asked as he pulled out the weapons and shield he had put away.

“Yes. Right now, we have no choice as a team. We need to finish preparations because we don’t know how long it will take for the monster to come here. If it still doesn’t come out after that, we’ll go in.”

“Since it takes time for Ruela to make potions, let’s divide what we have for now. Give more to the tanks as they need more health potions.”

“Here’s mine. Please distribute it among yourselves. I’ll start buffing.”

While everyone distributed potions and prepared for battle, Kite checked Ruela’s complexion with a worried expression.

“Are you really okay?”

“Yes, I’m okay. It hurts, but the joy of reaching level 49 while unconscious is greater. With level 50, I can get a mount.”

The long-awaited level 50.

It was the level where you could receive quests to purchase mounts.

In addition to the default mount, if you had enough money, you could purchase anything from rare animals to motorcycles, cars, and even robots. However, since riding such things here would only attract attention, Ruela planned to purchase a normal horse and carriage.

“A mount?”

Rafael, hearing Ruela’s words, asked with curiosity, “Like a horse and carriage?”
As they shared the potions that Ruela handed out, they tilted their heads as if not understanding.

“We already have those from our journey, and there are many at the mansion. When we gathered at the Peroz Mansion, each of us rode our own carriage. But why do we need that?”

Ruela checked everyone’s status windows.

It seemed that it would take time to replenish mana since Tien used a buff skill that depleted it. Mana recovery potions couldn’t be used freely due to the scarcity of ingredients. Since they mainly needed them during battles, she decided to explain about mounts while waiting for natural mana regeneration.

“I also thought that way at first. Since we had horses and carriages, I wasn’t eagerly awaiting level 50 to get a mount. I even thought, ‘Why bother learning teleportation magic?'”

“What changed your mind?”

“If the summoning distance is not enough, we have to abandon the poor horses and walk. We can’t let them become food for monsters after carrying us all the way here. Abandoning those poor creatures and leaving is too heartbreaking.”

“Oh! That’s true. Yes, leaving those poor things behind is too painful.”

Tien agreed with a loud voice, as if understanding.

“But the mount you get at level 50 can be stored in your bag. You don’t have to go back for the abandoned carriage or calculate the range of teleportation to use the skill.”

“Heh!”
They all exclaimed as if surprised.

“It’s really amazing that such a thing exists.”

“For me, it has become a very important matter. Now, it looks like we are ready. Fortunately, monsters haven’t appeared yet, so where should we go in?”

“Tien, is there any difference in the music coming from the center and the right?”

In response to Kite’s question, Tien shook her head.

“I don’t know. It’s the same music.”

Ruela scanned the strategy board again.

Since both the team that encountered the fifth Named and the team that didn’t both heard the same music, she couldn’t determine which path led to Vincenti’s hiding place.

Considering the stories from those who went left and those who went right, meeting the fifth Named seemed to be a random occurrence. Everyone agreed that it depended on luck.

As more teams took on the challenge over time, someone would undoubtedly discover the difference. However, at the moment, sufficient information was not being shared.

Ruela asked Tien again.

“Really, there’s no difference? It’s the same music?”

“Yes, it’s the exact same piece.”

“Well, where can you hear it? We can’t hear any sound. If it weren’t for Tien, we would have been in big trouble.”

There were no stories in the game where some heard and some didn’t, so this might be a difference between the game and reality.
“Huh? As I keep listening, it seems like the instruments are different?”

Everyone’s attention turned to Tien.

“How are they different?”

“In the center, it’s a piano, and on the right, it’s a violin.”

Ruela quickly clicked on the notice about Vincenti again.

…His piano playing is known to be heavenly.

Such Vincenti comes up to the surface once
Hazen responded, plugging his ears.

Although he didn’t want to sympathize with monsters, the mournful music echoing in the cave felt too poignant, perhaps because they were inside a cave.

“Even monsters were once humans, so they must have their own stories. Vincenti, for example, mourns the death of his beloved and plays a dirge.
“Depending on the Named, there are times when detox potions work and times when they don’t. It’s the same for healers… But Vincenti’s poison is said to be incurable by either method. You just have to endure it while being poisoned.”

Mitchell, hearing Ruela’s explanation, shook his head in disbelief.

“I can’t believe we’ve only encountered the guy who gives the first key now. We have to endure this difficult task six more times just to meet Count Kurane?”

Raphael also sighed and shook his head.

“Besides them, there are also mid-bosses. The journey is quite challenging.”
