Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 48: Roy, Rosy

The thing I needed most was information. I needed a clear understanding of what I missed in the world. The dynamics of power...it wasn't possible to move without knowing the movements of the demons, angels and humans.

And the lich Gaparam was the best person to ask about this.

Gaparam!

I remembered.

He was a lich researching life. Wasn't his goal to create a complete homunculus?

"I am fulfilling the promise, despite being late."

"It's okay. It isn't involving the homunculus but I've made my own progress."

Building a workshop. I promised to provide support so that he could continue his study into the homunculus. However, I had unintentionally spent one year and eight months in the Underground World. Points weren't available so he couldn't do his research.

Even so, Gaparam wasn't upset. He understood and didn't seem to care.

I turned my gaze to the two children next to Gaparam.

"These children?"

"I have been teaching the children these days. They are bright and their learning speed is amazing. Now, shouldn't you introduce yourselves?"

Dark skin and pointy ears. The two children were dark elves approximately four or five years old.

It was unusual that they were twins but they looked familiar.

Among them, the girl walked out first and bowed.

"Hello, Dungeon Master. My name is Rose. I heard that Dungeon Master gave me the name Rose. It is an honour."

"I-I am Roy."

Unlike Rose, Roy had a timid nature.

'They are already so big.'

Now I could remember the two children.

Not long after the children were born, I had named them. I had roughly named them but now it felt different.

Rose looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Queen-nim asked us to look after Dungeon Master if there are any problems. Rose is still young but I want to learn quickly to be helpful to Dungeon Master."

"M-me too..."

I gave a small laugh. The little girl was saying funny things. In particular, I liked Rose's unyielding eyes. I expected that she would be a confident heroine once she was older.

"It is brilliant."

"Correct. These children only have each other and are learning faster than others. The children will be a lot of help in my research. Roy's character is a little bit timid but can't that be gradually fixed?"

In the 3rd Demon World Auction, I had purchased a skill book called Twin's Mental Rapport. I was convinced after checking the two children with Mind's Eye.

It was obvious that the skill had been successfully learnt, causing a rise in their abilities.

"Gaparam. I heard that you could help me. How can you help?"

It was the reason I came to talk to him.

When I asked seriously, Gaparam handed me a thick book.

"First, please take this. It is a book where I noted down my past work and my thoughts. You should be able to fill some of the gaps with it."

I opened the book and saw things like daily changes, things that happened in the dungeon and external exploration. Even details about the weather were written down.
