◈ 305. [Free Exploration] Farming in between (2)
The fairy royal family, called the children of the World Tree, is said to have had three princesses in the current generation.
First Urd. Second Belldandy. Third Skuld.
The princesses are named after three goddesses of destiny, each representing the past, present, and future.
The one who ascended to the double throne was the first, Princess Urud. She was killed a hundred years ago during the Tribal War, when the alliance of different tribes was defeated by humans.
Afterwards, the throne should have been inherited by Belldandy according to the order of rank, but at this time, Berdandi had already started searching for the Holy Grail under Urud’s order.
Currently, in the Elven District, the one leading the enslaved elves is Skuld, the youngest successor to the nominal throne.
‘Berdandi is also an important key to the fallen king’s plan.’
Because he intends to bring the disparate races scattered throughout the continent to the southern front here.
Verdandi, who would become a long-term connection with the elven kingdom, was an important customer (?) to me.
Anyway, I was going to keep quiet until he revealed it, but Dusk Bringer gave me a cool spoiler… … .
“You were the vanguard who burned down our kingdom during the war a hundred years ago, you! What are you pretending to be friendly with?”
When Belldandi shouted ferociously,
“Ah~ I’m sorry about that time. Guain didn’t have any ill feelings toward you, but he was in a position where he had to step in if the emperor told him to… … .”
Saying that he was not sorry at all, Dusk Bringer dug his ears.
“Anyway, aren’t we all in the same position as diners under Ash? She keeps getting along.”
“Who, whoever wants to eat!”
When Belldandy retorted in a sharp tone, I faced him with a wounded face.
“no… … ?”
“Oh no! Give me sunflower seeds, give me other food, and take care of many things! Bird, come to think of it, I’m in the same position as a eater… … !”
Belldandi’s eyes trembled violently in confusion. I covered my mouth and laughed.
yes. I have something to feed you. Anyway~ they are supposed to come under my command.
“It’s okay, Belldandy. I don’t care what your status is.”
In fact, I was ignorant of it from the beginning. Anyway, I had a pure smile on my face.
“We became friends no matter what. yes?”
“Ash… … !”
Belldandi squeezed my hand tightly with a moved face. yes you are mine
Anyway, the dragon and the elf are arguing with each other, and I, the human caught in the middle, am looking at the angle to take advantage,
“hey! Dear Prince! Why come now!”
A familiar dwarf jumped out from the center of the base camp.
The magic blacksmith was Kelly Bay. Her whole body covered in soot, Kelly Bay shouted hastily with her face wet with her sweat.
“Come here quickly! The equipment you entrusted is X!”
what?
Is your equipment X?
Before I can react in my fright,
“no?”
This time, Dusk Bringer stepped in front of Kelly Bay with a happy face.
“Who is this again? Kelly Bay!”
“Wow!”
“You’re the youngest member of the ‘Golden Branch Miner’. Why are you here again… … ?”
When she saw Dusk Bringer who recognized her and pretended to know her, Kelly Bay screamed in fright.
“Oh shit, Dusk Bringer?! Why did this dragon sister come here?!”
“No, are you serious? Auntie… … . If that’s the case, are you a super-grandpa who is older than Guwain?”
Dusk Bringer grumbled and tapped his silver crown with his fingertips.
“Your two older brothers are also beholden to wine. This crown was also forged by your brothers when I ascended the throne.”
“… … .”
“So, where are your brothers? I want to say hello.”
Kelly Bay let out a dry sigh, then replied reluctantly.
“dead.”
“… … what?”
“I was looking for a ‘golden branch’ in the depths of the darkness here, but I was killed by a monster.”
Kelly Bay’s brothers were killed by the Vampire King Selendion. That’s why Kelly Bay likes me for killing Selendion.
“Mi, I’m sorry.”
After awkwardly apologizing, Dusk Bringer scratched the back of his head.
“Why does Gwain seem so ignorant today… … .”
He is receiving the stinging gaze of everyone. However, Dusk Bringer, who calmly passed it on with shamelessness befitting his age, whispered in my ear.
“Anyway, that’s interesting, Ash.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t all the so-called fugitives hiding here on the southern front? Elves, dwarves, even beastmen… … .”
After looking at the prisoners of the punishment unit standing over there, Dusk Bringer smiled.
“Now, if there are even mermaids, it will be like putting all four different races into one military camp.”
“… … .”
I have. Mermaid too.
Serenade’s azure hair flashed in my mind. You must be working hard at Crossroads by now, right?
At that time, Dusk Bringer nodded and muttered to himself.
“All races in one place… … ? Whoa. Then, is it possible to collect the guardian trees of all races… … .”
“… … ?”
“Right. haha. After all, is it inevitable that I came to you… … .”

What, what are you talking about?
What if you keep doing monologues that seem like something only you can understand, huh? If this was a mystery novel, you would have already been murdered by the perpetrator!
I quickly got away from Dusk Bringer, who started muttering something to himself.
My head hurts just from doing what’s right in front of me, but I can’t understand it, it’s enough!
“… … After receiving all kinds of geeks on the side, now even half-penny bad dragons… … .”
As I approached Kelly Bay, she let out a sigh and rolled her eyes at me.
“Your taste is nasty, kid. No, should I say that I am resourceful?”
“haha.”
I laughed softly. I will continue to accept more of them in the future. It’s embarrassing to be surprised like this.
“Okay, come and see. Because the equipment you entrusted is on the verge of destruction.”
We gasped and ran toward Kelly Bay’s magic forge.
The blacksmith’s work was in full swing, and strangely colored flames spewed out from the furnace, emitting tremendous heat.
“There’s a commotion again, oh!”
What Kelly Bay is currently touching is Evangeline’s exclusive equipment.
[Spear of the Cross Family] and [Shield of the Cross Family].
I thought it was just a matter of injecting materials into the base equipment and going through the upgrade process.
kang! kang! Kkang-!
Kelly Bay, who had donned a welding mask and hammered the equipment, barely extinguishing the magic flames, glanced back at me.
“Show me the condition of the equipment you entrusted?!”
“… … !”
Of course, I am completely outside the blacksmith.
Seeing the surface of the spear and shield wriggling like tentacles while turning black, the feeling that something was wrong came right away.
Smack!
One protruding tentacle splattered black ooze and grazed the side of my face. Hehehehe?!
I screamed and tore my hair out.
“No, what the hell did you do! All you have to do is upload it!”
“I was trying to do better, but I was over-motivated! It was fine until a few hours ago, but something went wrong with the additional enchantment process… … Anyway, if you leave it like this, it will be X!”
“No, it seems like you’ve already been Xed a lot?!”
membrane… … that… … You’re rising! loads! f*ck!
“Okay, you were going to go into the dungeon today anyway?!”
Kellybay set the paper on the work table and began scribbling something, then tossed the finished paper at me.
“Get the ingredients quickly! If you don’t want to see your precious equipment fly away!”
[Emergency equipment repair quest!]
An urgent quest has appeared.
All kinds of rare magic materials that can only be obtained from the depths of the dungeon… … The quantity is sorely needed… … The remaining time… … Oh shh. 6 hours?
Taat!
I grabbed the paper Kelly Bay gave me and quickly ran to the party members.
Then Evangeline, who had been waiting with sparkling eyes, jumped out in front of me.
“Seniors! my gear! Is my equipment well made?”
“… … .”
“I am really looking forward to it! How will the heirloom that has been handed down from generation to generation in our family be upgraded… … !”
Cold sweat dripped down like rain and wet his back.
Evangeline’s spear and shield wriggling like an octopus’ sucker, with tentacles rising, flashed through my mind.
If that kind of equipment was given to you for exclusive use… … .
Looking into Evangeline’s innocently sparkling green eyes, I was convinced.
‘There’s a rebellion!’
Evangeline’s level of satisfaction with equipment has already hit rock bottom with two consecutive hits of Golem Armor and Bone Armor.
In this situation, if you make tentacle wriggling spears and shields that have been passed down from generation to generation in your family, you will be really fragging! Might kill me!
snap!
I grabbed Evangeline’s shoulders and smiled brightly.
“The equipment is in great condition. You will absolutely love it too. So wait a little longer.”
“Wow!”
Evangeline smiled brightly. It was the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen. Damn there’s no turning back now!
“Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s go in!”
I urgently summoned all party members.
While doing so, Belldandy also grabbed his forearm and pulled him in. Belldandy, who was trying to observe from afar, was taken to me in embarrassment.
“Oh, Ash-sama?!”
“Berdandi. i’m pissed right now Help a little. Bring all your co-workers… … !”
In addition to that, I looked to see if there was any more manpower to take from the base camp, but unfortunately, it seems that this is all the manpower that can be mobilized at the moment.
Five parties, including Belldandy’s Holy Grail Exploration Team, who followed in bewilderment.
25 people at most. After arranging the largest number of dungeon exploration raid members in front of me.
I declared
“Six hours ahead! We have to get all the ingredients listed here within 6 hours!”
The faces of the party members who received the contents and quantity of the ingredients passed by.
Don’t look at me like that, guys. If you don’t want to see my lord die, help me… … !
“Today’s dungeon exploration concept is ‘Daksa’!”
A venerable term for the game board. Daksa.
It is an abbreviation of ‘shut up and hunt’.
There’s nothing like this when you’re struggling to get materials.
“Kill all the monsters you see, steal the item, steal the treasure chest! It’s a blitzkrieg! It blows like lightning and shakes everything off!”
It seems to be a bit different from the original meaning of blitzkrieg, but what about it!
The rest of the party is all familiar with dungeons, and Dusk Bringer and the knights have good specs, so even if it’s your first time, you’ll be fine.
“There is no time, Kazuah!”
When I screamed, the party members ran after me into the dungeon in a hurry, not knowing why.
***
The monster of this season is, of course, the historical monster in the fantasy world, the Troll.
A representative tank monster with high regeneration and a strong body.
They are quite difficult to deal with, as they will regenerate them if they cannot take their breath away with a single blow.
of course,
“Wipe it all away-!”
That’s a story when the firepower is weak.
puck! puck! Quagmire!
The raging storm of swords, magic, arrows, and so on swarmed the trolls without screaming.
Enemies don’t fall well?
Then let’s check if the numbers here are not enough!
The power of the 25-man dungeon raid was terrifying. In addition, since each party was a group 1 elite, the speed went crazy.
It took 5 minutes to enter the dungeon and clear the way to the boss room, and 3 minutes to defeat the boss.
After going around a few places like that, it felt like a waste to go into the same dungeon together.
The space was tight and the firepower was overflowing, so overkill continued.
“hey! I’ll designate each dungeon! Turn around one by one!”
So, we split the 5 parties into 5 dungeons. Each party also worked hard to break through the dungeon one by one.
That’s how daksa turns and turns and turns and money results again.
“… … It’s all gone.”
Within a few hours, the dungeon in Area 6 dried up… … !
‘Ingredients… … .’
still not enough!
Looking at the quantity that was lacking little by little, I shuddered. Time is passing… … .
“Hmm~?”
Evangeline, who was sitting close behind me, cast a soft gaze and whispered.
“Senior, by any chance… … Aren’t you hiding something from me?”
“Oh no, man! Have you ever seen me lie to you?!”
“Hmm, right? That’s right too~”
Evangeline smiled bashfully.
Didn’t you notice?
save me f*ck
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
With my loud (desperate) shout, our party of 5 regrouped in front of the last remaining dungeon in District 6.
After resting briefly and recovering from residual injuries.
The largest and most dangerous place in District 6.
Massive dungeon. Entered the [Laboratory].
‘Be sure to collect all the ingredients and return!’
To prevent the future of Evangeline stabbing me in the back… … Oh no!
In order to protect the equipment of important comrades!
