381 Episode 0381



"Is this a dungeon card?"

 In the room, Ray sits on the sofa and takes out a dungeon card registered in the guild.
 Sitting on the sofa across the street, Elena nods and pulls out her card.
 I registered a dungeon card at the guild, bought a map of the dungeon that had been sold, and returned to the hotel room, where Elena followed me with a look of course.
 We're sitting on the sofa in Ray's room like this, because we don't have any particular complaints.
 In addition, he seemed to be determined to act as a coachman when it came to two-fals, and even though Elena was alone in Ray's room, he concentrated on his work as a coachman, including taking care of Warhorse. There are only two of them in this room, too, as Yero plays and naps in the stable with Seto.
 Still, the story doesn't go in a glamorous direction, so whether it's Ray or Elena, it's a sign that they're not used to love each other.

It seems to be a magic item created by an alchemist who lived in ancient times. I've heard about it before I came to Egidil, but... it's a little strange that it's actually so convenient."
"Yes, because with this card, you can automatically record to which floor you went down the dungeon, or you can move from one floor to the next using a device with a transition spell."

 Turn to the dungeon card, whispering back to Elena how over-technology it is.

"And as far as I can see, it's almost the same size and thinness as a guild card."

 The dungeon card shows the name of the owner and the floor to which he went down. And there are only three special notes.
 Special notes include, for example, rank in Ray's case, or rank in Elena's case, but only three of them are written on the card.
 However, the dungeon card plays a much more advanced role than the magic items around it.

(In particular, it is extremely convenient to be able to freely use the transition magic, even though it can only be used in dungeons.) Wouldn't it be of great benefit to analyze this?)

 That's what Ray thought to himself, but there have been many people who have tried to analyze the magic items for metastasis in the dungeon of Egidil. Most of them, however, failed to analyze, and few of them have touched it now.
 Occasionally, curious scholars, alchemists, or wizards come in hoping to analyze, but it's safe to say that no one has achieved results.

"We don't even know exactly who made this magic item in the first place. Don't you understand Ray's knowledge?"

 shake one's head silently at Elena's words
 The only alchemist in Ray's knowledge is Esta Noor of the Zepail family, but since then, there have been few magic items for metastasis, such as those already in Egzil.

(Perhaps he is what ancient magical civilizations call him.)

 a muttering ray
 In fact, from time to time, high-performance magic items are discovered in the ruins.
 Specifically, one of them is the magic item Ray and Elena want in the dungeon in Egzil.

"Anyway, I'm grateful to be able to spread to the class that I once went down. This dungeon has a considerable depth, and the dungeon's core has not yet been destroyed, so it is still expanding underground. If you think about that, it's helpful that you don't have to go down from the first floor every time you re-enter the dungeon."

 Ray nods to Elena's words.

"It's true that there's not much danger on the ground floor, even if you're just an adventurer, and that's very helpful. It takes time just to knock down all the small fish and move around. But if there is such a transition function, shouldn't Dungeon's strategy be more advanced?"
"It seems that many ordinary adventurers make enough time to act safely and earn money from a class that they can handle on their own…" Of course, I've heard that some adventurers are seriously trying to capture dungeons, but that seems to be a very small minority."
"Do you have a metastatic function?"
"In terms of life, honor, and money, more people choose the former. But that would be normal if I were to say so."

 Elena told me that they were not normal, but Ray couldn't go back to it either. Because I'm an artificial creature in the first place, and even Elena is close to the outsiders who have acquired the magical stones of the Ensent Dragon in their succession ceremony.
 If they were to insist that they were normal, there was no doubt that there would be objections from different quarters.

"""The purpose of diving into the dungeon this time is to get magic items for communication." I won't leave here until I get it. though I shall have to go back once by the time winter comes."
"For my part, it's a monster's magic stone. I definitely want it for the growth of death size and set. Also, I heard that there are many practical magic items available in dungeon, so I would like them to include communication magic items. . . . now that you mention it, does Elena not need the material of the monster she knocked down?"

 Ray asks Elena unexpectedly.
 But Elena shakes her head as if nothing was wrong.

As I've been saying, what I want is a magic item for communication. As long as I'm working as a shogun, I have a decent income, and everything else... well, that's right. Then how about Ray giving me something with the money he has sold the material?"
"... a present?"
"Well, what is it is. So two of you..."

 He talks that much, recalls the two-fal, and stifles without thinking, but immediately continues.

"Anyway, I came with Ray to Egzil. Isn't it so bad to think of it as a souvenir?"
"Well, I don't mind if Elena is satisfied with it... oh, no, yes." Then why don't you use the money you earned from the dungeon to pay for this inn? If you rely entirely on Elena, it's embarrassing for me. If you pay for your stay with the money you earned in the dungeon, wouldn't you be ashamed of yourself? That's like showing a man's worth."
"It's not that simple a story," If it's because of Ray, that might be all right."

 Ray breathes relief at Elena's words.
 Ray wanted to refrain from the so-called leeches that rely entirely on Elena.

"Now that we have set our own goals...Let's talk about the biggest drawbacks of our dive into the dungeon."
"Well, indeed, diving into a dungeon alone with me and Ray is tantamount to suicide. That is to say..."
"The Thief"

 Ray and Elena's voices echo.
 Yes, robbers are essential to challenging dungeons. Small as they were, they were both keen on each other when they went under the dungeon where the altar of succession was located.
 But Ver no longer exists. Not only are they not in the Kingdom of Milliana, they are not even in this world. He died as a beast in the war against the Vestian Empire.
 I've bought maps up to the fifth floor, but it's safe to say that rare magic items that Ray and Elena want are rarely available in a hierarchy where maps are sold. Such rare and expensive goods are only in places where they have not yet been fully explored.

"I would have hired a solo bandit around the guild. Today's uproar has made it difficult."

 Ray also smiles bitterly at Elena, who murmurs with a sigh.
 The fact that Ray is crimson will undoubtedly be conveyed to adventurers who were not there by now. Fortunately, in the words of the receptionist, Ray was the only one who spread the word, and information about Elena was not.
 But Elena has the unparalleled trait of being an incredible beauty with Ray. If Elena tries to hire a thief, there is no doubt that there will be a stir among those who want Ray to hire him to complain.
 Fortunately or unfortunately, this is a labyrinthine city, and the fact that there are more thieves than other guilds makes the story even more complicated.

"Then, for the time being, only me and Elena, Sett and Yero will go under, and when the trouble has subsided, hire a solo thief."
"That would be the safest thing to do." However, the problem is that even when we break through the low-income bracket, the disturbance has not settled down."
"I feel as if I'll settle down at that time. I mean, I want you to be calm."

 Ray mutters confidently whether he knows it's a wishful observation."Why don't you put up with the trouble and hire a thief tomorrow? Then, if you keep hiring him after that, there won't be any trouble."
"That's true, but it's hard to pick one out of a bunch, because we've just come to Egzil, and we don't know who's a good thief."
"...is that so?" Well, I think it's better to follow Ray's suggestion."

 Ray, too, nods to Elena's words without any particular objection.

(Worst of all, there is a thin flame used in the dungeon of the altar of succession...but then only the traps set on the ground and walls can be sensed, so it lacks certainty. a real thief would be indispensable.)

 mutter inwardly and speak with a sigh

"The least salvation is that, even if there are traps, traps set by creatures like monsters still have some smell. and with Seto's sense of smell he should be able to detect it in his own way."
"Yero is still inexperienced in that area." as a scout would have been excellent enough."
"... now that you mention it, will Yero continue to be like that? He's an errand created by dragon language magic.
"To be honest with you, I don't know. There was a description of the magic that created the sorcerer, but I couldn't read the explanation of the magic in the middle. However, I'm satisfied with the lovely eroticism I have now."
"And you've made such a high bet,"
"Not really. I'm sure I'm an errand boy. Since dragon language magic itself is rare in the first place, we decided that we should use magic that we can use."
"With Elena's power, it would have been all right if the errand had run wild."

 Ray is speechless at Elena's behavior, which seems both daring and thoughtless.
 But Elena smiles reassuringly at Ray.

"It's all right. I'm not used to it yet, but I'm the one who inherited the magical stone of the Ensent Dragon. The errand boy... even if he runs wild, I'll keep him under control. And..."

 Elena glances toward Ray.

"Until I see you again..."

 So I tried to go on with my words. There's a sudden knock on the door of the room.

'Excuse me, Mr. Ray, isn't your daughter here? She wasn't in the room.'
「……」

 There was definitely a two-fal voice coming from behind the door, and the girl she was looking for was in front of Ray.
 ...but with little change in facial expression and a slight increase in pressure.

'It seems that Mr. Ray is not here, either. I can't help it. Shall we look inside the inn a little more?'

 I don't think I knew Elena in the room, but Tufal muttered and left the room.
 Ray is half expected to end up in bad taste at this rate, but he is not familiar with love affairs at all, so he doesn't know how to deal with Elena, a dangerous object in front of him.
 accordingly

"Ah... first of all, it's about time for dinner. Why don't we go to the cafeteria?"

 It should be called a high‐class inn. It was an instant remark that I noticed that there was one clock in each room that was supposed to be an expensive magic item, and that the hands of the clock were almost 6pm.
 It's finally summer time, and it's still bright outside even when it's close to 6 p.m. No, it should be too bright or too hot for those who are directly exposed to the sunset. "However, fortunately or unfortunately, the inn called Golden Futei, where Ray and Elena are staying, used more magic items than Wheattei at dusk, making it a comfortable place to stay inside."

"Well, that's all right. I expect a certain amount of food from this inn."

 Ray follows Elena out of the room with the feeling that he has managed to mislead her.
 This is how the first day of Egzil's arrival passed.
