Well, the weapons-related business is over. From here on out, I'm not willing to take the craftsman's share.

So I think I'm going to do the adventure for the adventurer. I don't know if there's a request for a crusade around here.

Then we'll secure the hotel. I would like to procure as many Magic Heal Acceleration Potions as possible.

I will finish it one by one. Let's start with the inn.

When I asked for recommendations, I was recommended a shop called "Waterhouse." It's not cheap or expensive at 1000 tels per night. Information is important when choosing an accommodation.

I'm used to entering my first inn. Some people say that they don't care about themselves the more they think about it, so go easy.

"Welcome, would you like to stay? 1000 tel per night, meals include 3 meals in the morning, lunch and evening, but every meal reduced is 100 tel cheaper."

I was greeted with a lot of courtesy as an inn in this world. It was a young woman who dealt with me.

I heard that there are a lot of dwarves in this city, but I feel that there are many people in the customer service relationship.

Well, the clerk who throws out customers at the inn will be in trouble, and naturally so.

"Yes, for the time being, would you mind eating one meal for seven nights? Of course I'll pay for it."

That's the shortest route to weapons processing. If it's not enough, you can add it. I'm also hungry because breakfast is getting pretty late.

"Okay, can I get an advance of 800 tels for one night and one meal? Breakfast is ready to eat in the dining room."

That's why I gave him the money and went to the cafeteria for dinner. I felt the meat was slightly salty, but it was good enough. Is it related to the mountain topography that there are a few leafy vegetables instead of something like wild vegetables?

It's okay with this, so I paid the accommodation fee for 7 days in advance along with the 800 just now and asked where the potion is sold before going out.

Nevertheless, the store was next to the guild. It's like a grocery store.

Purchase all 30 Magic Heal Acceleration Potions - 120 Tel each - and finally head to the Alliance.

The rank went up one last time and it was E. I found an inexpensive extermination request.

Rank: E

Request details: Red Wolf extermination

REWARD: 50 Tel per Piece

Quantity: as much as you can kill

Remarks: Probably not near the road, so you need to enter some mountain from the road.

An undetermined number of extermination requests. Probably to keep the monsters from appearing in the surrounding roads.

Based on the amount of reward and rank, I don't think Red Wolf is very strong. The name also looks like a relative of Green Wolf.

Therefore, I quickly accepted the request. Unfortunately, the receptionist was a man.

Go backwards on the path you took when you came here, and a little after the bald mountains and the surrounding woods, turn left into the woods. There is still no reaction to the contact plate.

So I decided to look around. It's easy to find. Using a fully-expanded touchpad, we just move around looking for the surroundings. ▼ I can't use it very much because I have to see it.

About five minutes later, three wolves appeared about 20 meters away. They all died in a single blow when they approached about 10 meters and hit a rock spear, but they felt slightly faster. The spear is positioned on the edge of the body.

I'd rather have more magic speed. It might have gone off if it was 20 meters away.

With that in mind, he moves to a zigzag parallel to the direction of the road and hunts the Red Wolf he finds. He kills about 20 of them, but he dodges a spear.

Well, when I got close and hit the second one, he died normally. Of course, I've recovered the body.

After another 30 minutes of hunting, I see a strange reaction to the tentacles. Two immobile human reactions.

I'll sneak my face out of the shadows and give it an appraisal.

It was a bandit. The ground behind it is like a tunnel in Ain. I wonder if it's a bandit's twist.

I don't want to be alone, so I'm going home.

As I remembered the direction of the road, I walked straight towards the road and just got out where the bandits found themselves going into the mountains.

I remember the landscape to some extent and it makes sense. I remembered the place before heading to the city.

Back to the guild. Would it have been good if the Alliance had found the bandits?

I was summoned by the branch chief when I went to the guild and discovered something that looked like a bandit.

"Is it true that you found an azido in the mountains?

"Yes, there was something like a hole, protected by two bandits."

"Hmm... I thought the bandits who weren't on the shortcut were getting away so fast, but there was a buzzard in the mountains. Thank you for your report. I will form a crusade team nearby. The reward will be paid when it is confirmed."

"Yes"

"And keep this a secret. If it's a bandit big enough to be an Asian bandit, there's a chance that people who aren't bandits are working together for money, so we're going to gather them all together."

Yes, sir.

"That's all, come back to the Guild tomorrow morning. By then, we'll have a date for the crusade."

Since the report was completed, I left the branch manager's office and reported the request. A total of 52 animals received a reward of 2,600 tels.

I don't have anything to do anymore, so I'll check it out by the workshop.

Do you think you can make a wand? How does it feel? "

"It's impossible because the metal reservoir metal is still untouched."

That's true, too. Almost every part of the weapon has a metal resealed metal.

"Speaking of which, all the trees in the mountains around here are cut, but is that anti-banditry or something?

I think an army was doing something like that with guerrilla countermeasures. I wonder if it's a dead leaf medicine.

"No, it's not. Use charcoal or something to refine metal. And the trees around me were almost cut."

"You don't use coal or anything?

"I'm digging for that, but it's for use in the cold. If you use it for refining, it won't be a lot of metal."

"Ah...."

I wonder if that happened on Earth. I think I heard it in history class or something.

How did you deal with it? I'm sure iron refining is a Coke....

Ah, Cokes. All you have to do is make coke from coal.

I saw it somewhere in high school when I was a coke maker. It might have been useful in battle if you had acquired it as a normal high school student or in ancient martial arts, but I didn't know that wasted knowledge would be useful in this place.

Fortunately, thanks to the qualities of martial arts, I didn't need ancient martial arts.

"All you have to do is make a coke. Bake the coal like charcoal and get out of the way."

"... I don't know. Not necessarily useless, so I'll introduce you to a fuel-related person, but perhaps the cost of the experiment will be borne by the frog.

"If it can actually be used, can it be bought?

It's a patent. I think it's a deficit even if we provide technology because it seems like nothing is going to be easy.

"If you can really refine metals with coal or something, that would be possible. You can go here, Igni's fuel shop."

That's how he wrote the map. Shall I go here now?

I feel like I've only been developing it recently and I'm hardly adventuring. I don't know what kind of magical swordsman is a technician.

"Excuse me, is Igni's fuel shop okay here?

"Yes, that's right. Are you here to buy charcoal?

It was still a man of the tribe who dealt with me.

"No, I know the new fuel, but then I was told to go here."

"New fuel?

"Yes, I heard a long time ago that there was a fuel made from coal that could refine metals."

"Hmm, I'm a charcoal shop... coal is not my specialty."

"The method itself is similar to charcoal, but what about it? Of course, I'll pay for the experiment."

"Then... I'll ask my parents."

After a while, a crowded man came out.

I thought it was a dwarf.

"Is it true that coal can make a decent fuel for refining?

"Hmm, I can't say for sure because the way we do things isn't perfect, but I think it's possible."

"Well, there's a little room for productivity, and there's no reason to refuse if you're willing to pay for research. Either way, it won't hurt."

That's true, too.

"That's right. Of course, if you succeed and use that technology, you can't offer it for free.

"Oh, I know, let's hear how it works."

"Yes, just cover it with brick, etc., so it doesn't let air in the coal, and then heat it from around you. Then something like gas and oil comes out. That is impurity. The gas that comes out is burning, but it's poison, so be careful."

"Gasu...? What are you talking about?

"Gas is like burning air. Used as fuel for heating coal."

"I've heard about the burning air somewhere. Was it like that?"

"Yes, coal requires a higher temperature than wood, so use it. The liquid that comes out can be used more like oil, but it's not suitable for eating."

I see. All right, let's do it. How much will you invest?

"For now, please."

I'll give you a large gold coin. My money will be gone, but if I need it, I can sell the metal and it won't be a problem.

"Big gold coins, huge stuff, I'm starting the experiment today."

Not a technician or an adventurer, maybe a capitalist or an inventor.

Well, in the case of inventors, they're just masquerading the achievements of great people in the past. It doesn't matter if it decreases or not.
