Chapter 29 - Rescue task successful
1502 Words
After half an hour since successfully killing the Dungeon Boss in the form of a Minotaur, Rudy finally opened his eyes and looked up. He could see a dark ceiling made up of damp rocks with little light.
"Am I still alive?"
With these murmurs in his heart, Rudy started to get up and sat on the surface of the cave which was very cold, then looked around. He could see Violet who was snoring softly on her thighs.
Rudy couldn't help but sigh after seeing Violet fast asleep on his lap. There was nothing he could do to wake this girl up because all this trouble was coming from herself.
Rudy also began to open the Inventory to check what items were obtained from defeating the Minotaur who was the Dungeon Boss and the Dwarves who had become the monster's accomplices.

Rudy was happy to see all the item drops obtained from killing the Dwarves and Minotaurs, but when he saw the last item drop his expression became flat. How could there be Dwarf's Underwear in the item drop? There's even a pretty good Enchant on this disgusting item.
Just imagine the female player character wearing Dwarf's Underwear, it's disgusting, isn't it?
Rudy just left the item in the inventory, maybe this disgusting item will come in handy in the future.
The items that make Rudy very happy are Minotour's Summon Horn, Minotaur's Giant Sword, Dwarf's Shield +6, Town Teleport Scroll, Estimate Goggle, and High Dwarf Blacksmith's Hammer. All of this can definitely be sold at a fairly high price.
However, Rudy felt it was a waste of some items if they were sold to other players. That's why he decided not to sell Minotour's Summon Horn, Town Teleport Scroll, and Estimate Goggle. These items are quite useful for later in the future.
Rudy also opened a browser, specifically the Axie Forum, to sell some of the drop items that he just got from exploring the Lafos Cave Dungeon.
Especially for the High Dwarf Blacksmith's Hammer, Rudy at least wanted to give it to Fira. At least Rudy wanted to thank Mirage's party for accompanying this mission.
If it wasn't for the luck of having chosen the original cave passage containing the Dungeon Boss, perhaps Rudy would still be here for the next few days just looking for another passage.
Then ten minutes later, Violet had woken up from her sleep when she received a message from Mirage that Elise, which was Rudy's Quest objective, had been successfully secured.
After some preparations, they regrouped and walked together back to the Beginner City, Livetuna. And told about their experiences in Lafos cave, Minotaur Dungeon to be exact. Of all the stories the two of them told, only Violet's story took everyone by surprise because Rudy's actions sounded impossible.
The story Violet was referring to was Rudy's battle against the Dwarves and Minotaurs in the Dungeon Boss.
***
The Axie Forum seems to be busy with discussions. How not, there is a player named Rudy who used to sell Health Potion I, now has shown Items that almost all have Rare-level Buffs and Epic-level Buffs.
Indeed, all of them are Low-Equipment, but the contents of the Buff are no joke for novice players, so many novice players invade the online shop owned by Rudy. Almost all items are purchased until they run out, but there is one item that attracts the attention of buyers.
Dwarf Shield +6 is Mid-Equipment class and has a Skill-Stunning Hit Bonus on the item. Because Equipment that has a Skill Bonus is quite rare, Rudy puts a fairly high price for novice players.
However, that wasn't a barrier for novice players with a lot of money. In the blink of an eye, the Dwarf Shield +6 was gone and bought for around 60,000 Byl. This makes Rudy's economy multiply.
"Brother, don't show that horrible smile, Elise is scared."
"Ah sorry sorry, I'm too happy because all my merchandise sold out."
Rudy couldn't help but laugh wryly after realizing he was making a hideous smile.
Even though these five players already knew that Rudy had the habit of smiling horribly unconsciously, they still weren't very used to this strange trait. Only one exception, namely Mirage who in the real world is Almira, Rudy Alexander's younger sister. Of course, the NPC Elise who was only about 11 years old was afraid of Rudy when she saw his ghastly smile.
Rudy chose not to care about Elise's reaction because they would soon be separated. Out of curiosity, Rudy wanted to see his status panel, has it grown rapidly after going through the fight against the Minotaur Boss?

After looking at the status panel, Rudy felt that his Dexterity was not very balanced with the other stats. Especially the lowest Luck status points. Rudy was very surprised, why with this low Luck status he could get a pretty good drop item?
Out of curiosity, Rudy started to increase his Luck and Strength status points using half of the CP (Customize Points) he had from his previous level up. Three-quarters for Strength status, while the rest is Luck.
After arriving at Nezile's house, the quest giver knocked on the door of the house. In less than a minute, the door opened and revealed a female NPC. By the way, Elise was the one who guided everyone to find this house.
"Mother!"
"My dear Elise!"
Elise and Nezile-the female NPC, both immediately ran and hugged each other. Their tears flowed quite profusely.
Mirage, Violet, and Fira were touched to witness the reunion of this mother and daughter pair, while the boys, Rudy, Edmund, and Kuro looked less concerned and behaved as usual. This made the girls a little angry.
Nezile didn't really mind this too much, because just hugging his daughter was the greatest gift in his life. That's why Nezile did not forget the existence of his daughter's helpers.
"Please enter first, O helpers of my daughter."
"No need, we still have business elsewhere, so please hurry."
"Ah, fine. I'll get the reward first, please wait a moment."
Nezile jogged into the house along with Elise who followed her mother when she got a response from Rudy.
Mirage and the others looked displeased with Rudy's response which was filled with indifference, but they all agreed. They had to hurry up and log out of Axie Online because right now in the real world it should be 1:00 in the morning. It can be seen from Rudy's browser clock.
Less than five minutes, Nezile returned with several things in his hands. He handed the small Items in his hands to Mirage and company. It was worth it considering their only job was to help Reus.
After everyone got the Rewards, the last turn was Rudy.
"O hero, this sword is the legacy of my husband who disappeared a few years ago. Even if it's not much, I hope the hero lord will accept it."
Nezile held out a dull black sword with a bit of dust stuck to it along with its scabbard which was also pitch black. There are no other colors besides black, even the ornaments on the sheath will not be seen if you are not careful because everything is black.
"Fine, I accept it. Thank you."
"Thank you very much, heroes."
As soon as Rudy received the pitch-black sword, Nezile bowed and thanked Rudy from the bottom of his heart and the others.
