Chapter 426: The Hero's Bomb Pocket 1
Even in this medieval fantasy virtual reality game - more specifically this mishmash K-fantasy with questionable historical accuracy - certain common sense rules existed.
For example: mages were either lunatics, madmen, or psychopaths; wandering monsters were craftier than expected; and you never joked about the Goddess in front of temple folk, even in jest.
Among these rules was the basic principle that "enemies get stronger as you climb the tower."
"The numbers seem low. Did they head out somewhere?" Grace asked.
"Here's what looks like centaur barracks. Something must have happened to make them leave," a knight replied.
So it made sense that a simple wooden fence and shallow moat in the middle of nowhere would be upgraded to a 5-meter earthen wall with mines that could blast armored people dozens of meters into the air.
Conversely, having fewer troops in such an enhanced camp went against common sense. No wonder the Ice Cross Knights felt something was off and searched the area thoroughly.
Like any proper explosives expert, Han Se-ah quietly went to the earthen wall and started playing in the dirt with Earth Control to find magic mines. The knights viewed this as perfectly normal, thinking "Ah, the mage is curious..."
"Hey, I think we could use this somehow."
