Only 10 days have passed since launching the clan [Handbook of the Seven Colours].
The Labyrinth offense is going really well.
Since the wall was discovered to suck off magic, there have been no major problems, and the level of the Gilks has risen considerably in the battle against the intense demons.
Is it because we have weighed more on combat training than we have ever had practical experience, and the way it goes up is enough to say it's accelerating?
Perhaps because, unlike Ray and Lycood, who hunted down demons so much that demons around the King's Capital were eradicated, there is still room for vessels to grow. This growth is likely to continue for some time.
And even better, the ranks of the Knits and Spring Trees rose, all above the B-rank.
That has added Haruki and Luxeria to the Anna side party for about two days now, and everyone has updated their goals to A-rank next to continue their offense smoothly.
One evening, when he finished his day of exploration and returned to the Labyrinth City, Ray was on his way to the Labyrinth alone.
"Hey, isn't he... the rumored two-crown king?
"You're going to the labyrinth from this hour on. Pfft."
Such a ray can be directed at the kind of gaze that makes mockery and ridicule.
Having bought a State-budgeted home, Ray has become a one-off person, now going anywhere in the Labyrinth City.
"... haha... it's a pain in the ass in a different way"
Ray sighs and scratches his head, ignoring them and heading straight to the labyrinth.
Previously this was a solicitation to the clan or a worthy gaze, but nothing of that sort disappeared from one of the home cases.
It doesn't matter if you don't have the strength, I guess nobody wants to hold a lot of repayment holdings in the clan like Ray. I'm still the subject of being turned to the gaze of curiosity, but no one talks to me just because I'm talked to Kosovo.
Because it's luckier not to get involved, because everyone understands. No one else likes to get involved in a lot of debt.
In that sense, it's easier without having to ask troublesome questions, but Ray zeroes down the stairs leading to one level of the labyrinth.
"I don't know..."
It's just a little different from the labyrinth life I had in mind. Ray imagined a more united life that would hit a labyrinth attack.
That's the kind of life Baroque used to have, like a little zero, hand in hand with other clans, or give the city a festival if someone accomplishes a feat.
In fact, there was no such thing as a very one-rock conflict with the three great clans at the head, but the current situation as being distanced from other adventurers feels like something more than when there was solicitation.
Well, Ray only deserves it.
Ray slapped her cheek gently, forcing her to change her mind and turn forward.
"... now you're right in front of me."
Ray himself is aware of what is creating this situation. For one thing, I just lost the solicitation, now I positively believe that I have less trouble, and I have to save money for payment in a year's time.
By the way, Ray's repayment is a 10-year plan, so I have to pay about 100 billion ruts a year. We simply need to calculate and make 9 billion a month, about 300 million a day.
Such an impotence, naturally. That's the deal.
On the contrary, if an adventurer can accomplish this, the kingdom side will enter into an attitude of wanting to continue to have a good relationship.
So, the truth is, if Ray's making that much money, he's not making it.
Adventurers earn money in labyrinth cities basically only by selling drops.
Since demons never come out of the labyrinth, quests are rarely issued because of the danger to the city. In addition, requests for material procurement will not come out unless there are extra pressing circumstances, as large quantities of drops will fit in the guild each day.
Of course, there are exceptions, but basically demonic stones and materials falling from demons are a source of income.
And, naturally, the bigger the demonic stone, the rarer the demonic material is, the more valuable it is. In other words, the deeper you go into the hierarchy, the more you earn, the less you earn in the lower hierarchy.
This is really a headache issue for Ray, who has a state budget-like repayment.
I'd like to go downstairs as soon as possible financially, but that's the hard part about parties that doesn't work either. Under one circumstances, we can't afford to impose unnecessary dangers on our people.
That's why I have to do something with drops from low-tier demons, but the truth is I can't do anything with a class B demon with an upper limit.
In terms of reference, like the Rays, the other clans that started the offense in order from the top, or the party's daily earnings, are good and millions of ruts. Naturally, you make less money when you're an individual.
In the case of the Rays, they make more money because they have storage space. Because I can take it home without extra material that other clans and parties had to throw away.
There is also no need to cut off exploration early or avoid futile combat for the reason that you cannot bring back the material. Even in that sense, Rays earn a few times more a day with the rare skill of storage space than others.
But still, 5 million ruts is the limit. When divided, roughly 1 million ruts. Not enough for the target amount at all.
Everyone knows that Ray's situation, even if it's not deliberately explained, is that if he's an adventurer living in a labyrinth city, he's laughing at you for doing something stupid, imagining the Rays being forced out of the home a year later.
But the evil of Ray's giving up is no longer a first-class product, and he shows the evil scratch of embarking on exploration alone at night after finishing his day exploration.
That's what makes the adventurers laugh extra, but that's what they do in return, and Ray, excited by one, was coming to four layers, the final strategist of the present.
First take out the map in the process of being created and look at the hole in the map that could not be filled with today's huge exploration, checking the current location.
"In the near field... That's a no-show"
Four tiers of maps were already at completion and there were not many holes in the maps. Tomorrow we'll be able to stretch our legs to five levels. All you have to do is pack the end.
Ray just once looked back at the map.
The hole is on the edge of the map, a little further from the current location. That also falls apart in a few places.
We'll have to crush it around in turn.
Yes. Consolidating today's policy, Ray roughly burned the map into his eyes before pulling out the scarlet flame.
"Come on Scarlet Flame, we'll hunt for as long as we can!
Mood, scarlet flames and maps in hand Ray runs out.
From one to ten levels of the safety area is the creation of a maze of narrow passages reminiscent of the underground labyrinth. Without a map, the offense is so intrusive that it's impossible, but it's not the first time a large demon comes out in breadth.
Basically the demons that appear in that area are small demons that are usually classified from E to B. They form a herd of heterogeneous mixtures, roaming the entire hierarchy.
For this reason, without more than B-rank strength, it is even difficult to cross 10 layers of walls.
but Ray is an A-rank adventurer and, in strength, is also equivalent to an SS rank adventurer.
"Guh!?
"Gahoo!!
"Shahwah!"
Tree spirits in the labyrinth, demons cut off.
Demons who get their necks mowed, pierced, slapped against walls, and desperate.
Inside, there was also a mix of irregular Grade A equivalent demons in the area, but they are buried in one blow as well as in the diseased rays.
Incidentally, these irregulars are often multiplied by prizes, the price of which is 10 million ruts for less than 10 tiers.
This is also a broken price comparable to the SS Demon Crusade Reward. If not for this much price, it is this kind of market because powerful people who can dive into deeper hierarchies will not bother to find and crusade.
The way you run around the entire hierarchy increases the chance of encountering these irregulars, so Ray has encountered them many times before, day and night.
That's when Gilks, who know Ray's financial situation, give Ray his regular counterpart.
Thanks to you, to tell the truth, adding to the prize money raises Ray's earnings by about a single digit.
But one more digit short is all I can do to laugh bitterly, and the Gilks are not-touched there too. The rest seems to be to work hard on your own.
Trying to keep up with Ray, who dived into the labyrinth at night by himself, was about the worrying Charstena.
Well, in the end, I was persuaded that I wanted to monopolize the handle, and I laughed bitterly and pulled back, but I'm pretty sure I need some sort of measure more than just not far enough to reach the amount of my goal.
While thinking about that in a corner of his head, Ray continued his evening hunt today as time allowed.
Leaving the labyrinth, it was already dark outside.
Ray went to the guild and handed over the material, reporting on the prize neck crusade.
For the record, the Labyrinth never comes out in the lower tier of the bounty neck because the species that come out every 10 tiers change into galleries. As a result, it is very difficult to obtain unfair remuneration. Because rarely do top species like the prize neck appear in the outside world. I guess that's why the Alliance can send out such a thoughtful quest, but if you give them the demon material and the demon stone that will hit the prize neck, they will be rewarded the next day without taking time to verify the facts, so Ray is helpful.
"Then last night's reward will add up to 15 million ruts"
"Hi."
Ray received the reward from the receptionist.
"You're still making great money, even though you're all the demons in the upper echelons. You say you brought all that in the evening, but you can often collect all this in the hours since then. I'm scared.... I wish I could get to the lower levels soon"
It's the same receptionist who always undertakes his own assessment because he's been coming all this time lately. Ray doesn't know her name, but she made such a light mouth out of her because she'd been face-to-face with that one or this one for 10 days.
"Well, you can't attack the labyrinth alone. I'll take it easy."
"Uh, so I have to keep assessing that amount for a while? It's okay. Come on, get downstairs and make some money."
"If you don't like it, you can turn it else. I don't care who gives me the money."
Should I say bruised, Ray gave it back without hesitation to the receptionist, who was forced to show the valley with an uppermost, almost flat chest.
"If that's the world, what is it? Because I don't like everyone, I was recently given a new position as your receptionist."
"What the... it's not sweet, is it? I mean, there's nothing you can do about that to make me talk about it... but I can't help but grieve, is it?
Apparently, she had a reason to want Ray to go downstairs. Well, Ray thinks there's no big difference as long as there's storage space, but early on she realized that color tricks don't work, she was smashing her face up a little dissatisfied.
"Woe to you. - All right, let's go. So please go to the lower level. I'll be able to appraise this pile of demonic stones and materials from now on."
"If there's anything else you can give me, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, okay?
"What, is that true? Then you don't have to moderately skip and do any other work. Let's do that."
"But I'm willing to come every day for a while, so maybe it's one of those things that builds up."
"That's as meaningless as it sounds!
The receptionist raised her voice unexpectedly, but sighed slightly as if she had given up.
"Well...... I have no choice. You don't have money, do you? Good luck with your repayment at this rate. I'm behind you."
"Oh, thank you. See you tomorrow."
Supported by a good smile from the guild's receptionist, Ray held the rewarded bag and returned his heel. And back home with that bag with Tobotobo is Ray's Looteen here these days.
Same way today, though Ray tried to put the guild behind him, sighing one at the weight of the bag, which was far lighter than his goal, if it didn't work again.
"Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Two Crowns!
That's what I said, the receptionist stopped me.
"What is Mr. Two Crowns... so pervasive already?
"That's right. If you're dealing with hundreds of adventurers a day, it's easier to remember two names, and it's normal among the receptionists, right?
That said, Ray, who talks about the receptionist with a doorman's face, knew that she had been doomed by the senior receptionist that the new America was also the new America and the paper receptionist.
I didn't bother pointing it out.
"So, what can I do for you?
"Yes, I do, but I need you. Will Mr. Two Crowns also undertake work outside the labyrinth?
"When you say out of the labyrinth, you mean the normal quest?
"Yes, of course. Doesn't it have anything else? Seems like the two crowns have only gotten to the upper level yet, but it was decided up there that they have enough strength, so if it's a good idea to get that person to take on the job, I'm also praised, the guild can consume the salting quest, plus my hand is a pra, and it's a win-win..."
"No, what elements can I win?
When Ray accidentally asked back like that, Niyali and the receptionist's mouth went up.
With a windy confident grin that predicted Ray's return, she spoke highly of the selling points she would have prepared.
"Zubali, you're highly rewarded! I can travel from the edge of the world to the edge! In addition, the travel fee is paid separately! With all this, you have no reason not to go. Yes, there isn't!
"I kind of feel like a great pusher... tell me the exact value. Then I don't know if it's a win-win."
Rather than being thoughtful, the receptionist inflates her face to suspicious Ray.
"Damn it, no more fine men hot, right? But the request to enter here won't go down hundreds of millions of units, even if it's cheap, because the quest is turned around beyond our control on the other side of the world."
"That wouldn't be an SSS class quest, would it?
"Haha, isn't that such a decision to go to King Yingjie? It's too early for a two-crown king! Say."
For once, I'm crusading two SSS grades, but Ray didn't say. Because if I could compare myself to King Yingjie, if I had no choice, I would have broken it off.
If you say by guild standards, your strength to hunt SS grades steadily is the extent to which you eat into the top of the S-ranks. Certainly to challenge the leaning class on its own, anxiety remains.
"So most SS classes in terms of classification. But it's also pinky. The guild, divided into three stages, let me assign it. In the meantime, Mr. Two Crowns, if it's a little stronger than the S-level at the bottom, Gosign is out."
"Once I declare myself, I'm A-ranked, okay?
"That won't be a problem. For once, we'll be dealing with Masters Quest. Well, you can't force a long journey, so the will of the adventurer will be respected"
"Hmmm......"
Ray thinks as he returns his gavel.
The degree to which it is slightly stronger than S-grade and the vague answer is that I can't help blaming it. Demons also grow and, above all, often become a quest out of rank because Alliance officials make guesses from what they see and hear and determine the approximate rank from past information.
However, it is a skilled adventurer who actually fights and depends on individual senses, so if you say S, it is someone from A to SS.
And if you are an even more exceptional adventurer, you also know that demons above S level can be classified into three stages based on their degree of danger. to the wind of lower, middle, and upper.
In other words, if it is said to be the lower of the SS grade, it becomes the opponent with an ambiguous degree of danger from the upper of the S grade to the middle of the SS grade. To make it easier to understand, it's normal for Kraken to be considered a lower SS ranking when you put in the criteria here.
You can assume that Ray's self-rating and guild rating match. Only rank is hard to say is appropriate...
"... not bad, but the place is anywhere in the world. What is it?
"Of course, it's a pick-up. Well, I think it's tight in time if it's too far away, so if you look at it for a month or two, you'll be fine."
"It's far enough... then the labyrinth would make more money"
Ray's target amount for the month is roughly 10 billion ruts. It's been about a month since this year began. But the money I have on hand right now is like a billion ruts. Again, one digit is missing.
As it is, next year, I will be expelled from my current home.
For a moment, I thought taking this quest would eliminate it, but if you look at the number of days it takes and the quest reward, isn't it the same as Ray's current earnings? Depending on the location, I still make more money now.
"Mr. Two Crowns is special. Ordinary adventurers earn more."
"... Really? Can you show me what you have for now? I'd like to take it aggressively if it's near..."
"Be sure to look at that already!
The receptionist's face became brighter when Ray showed a favorable color. He was led by a young receptionist his age, thinking he was a colorful and facial alterer, and Ray was passed to a private room behind the guild.
"Please, don't hesitate to sit back. Oh, do you want some tea?
"Oh."
The hustle and bustle of the guild went a little farther when the door was closed behind Batan. It's hard to say it's quiet, but it was quiet enough to talk slowly and calmly.
Ray calms his hips on the couch in the center of the room. After a while, the receptionist, who handily boiled the tea with the magic fixture placed on the wall, took two cups made of tea and dropped her hips to the opposite seat.
"Yes, go ahead"
"Thanks"
"No, I may have less work to do, so let me do this."
To the receptionist's words, which seemed somewhat clear of intent, Ray put it on the table quietly as he sipped a cup of tea with a bitter laugh.
"It's late at night, and can I just get you down to business?
"Yeah, that's already"
That said, the receptionist put it on the table, wrapping up a bunch of paper that had been placed in the seat next to it.
"Come on."
Would it feel like a dosa if it were to be expressed in terms of sound effects? When I said a bunch of paper, it was stacked up to the height of Ray's chest in a sitting position.
"... all of this?
"Yeah, I am. There is so much. The so-called salted quest. I don't mind you looking at it freely, so make sure you do."
It was an unexpectedly eyed ray at the amount, but it is affirmed and prompted to take it in hand.
Ray brought the top piece of paper in hand to try and dropped his eyes.
----- Quest Rank SS -----
Request details: In the southwestern part of the Fultrik kingdom, demons believed to be equivalent to multiple SS classes were confirmed. Detailed numbers are unknown, but multiple herds confirm formation. Seek these sweeps.
Compensation: 1 billion ruts per SS class integration. 5 million ruts per S-class integration. 1 million ruts per Class A integration. Below that, 50,000 ruts uniformly.
"... what is this"
Ray checked the quest contents and squealed so unexpectedly.
"You have too many questions. I don't know the number, the type of demons, the habits, the rewards are not fixed. Who's gonna take it, like this?"
People are not good at it. Effective weapons and whether or not you have the means to fight together will limit the requests you receive. That changes whether it's multiple fights or solo fights.
So it's normal for these high-risk demon opponents to conduct an investigation. Adventurers who specialize in exploratory systems receive such requests and create crusade quests based on their reports.
But I don't see that in this request. It would be odd if I didn't add that I would reward you if I brought that information back, even if I didn't conduct an investigation at all.
If you pay well for it, SS Demon rewards are higher than the market, whereas S and A Demon rewards are less than half of the market. To a lesser extent, it is equivalent to a D grade.
"It's like a fraud, this is"
Perhaps the goal is to let adventurers who have been caught and quested by SS stupid high rewards hunt cheap, less than or equal to S-class demons. Suspicious if there really is an SS class, sweeping a bunch of demons and no specific numbers are shown. Moreover, the extremes are that it designates a fairly extensive area: the southwest.
"It's almost impossible to accomplish a request like this."
"Yeah, it is. This request was made by a famous lord for his stubbornness, and he also hangs it as a recurring guild, but he hasn't renewed the request for several years."
"Is that so stupid?
Ray, who saw a fraudulent quest in the first, looked at the receptionist with a frigid eye.
"No, some things are decent, right? Something you really can't get around to."
"Then show me that."
"Haha - you don't think I know that much about the new America - do you? Someone's making me assess you until dawn."
The receptionist relinquished his blame because Ray had a sore ear. I feel like I've been told to look for it on my own, and Ray can't even say it back, so I give up and reach for the next quest.
And so the receptionist said with a salaried black grin.
"But you think you can make a lot of money if you give it back."
"What?"
For a moment, I fell in love with Ray, wondering what she was talking about. Before that Ray questioned her, she connected words.
"'Cause it's an all-you-can-hunt quest, right? Isn't that the right request for you?"
That's what they say, and Ray comes to her mind.
What Ray should have seen was not a fraudulent reward. I should have looked at what she said was an all-you-can-borrow crusade quest, which had not been assigned a number.
This is not a material collection quest. In other words, the material is replaced with separate gold. With an omelet called Quest Rewards.
And most importantly, sweeping demons is Ray's specialty.
When Ray noticed it, he distorted his mouth not only saying that the Lord was evil inside too.
"By the way, where is this country?
"That's a country in the eastern part of the Eurasian continent, isn't it? Even the fastest round trip, six months. As I estimate zah, the SS rating itself has been confirmed, so the quest reward, at least 3 billion ruts, would be crap. Hopefully, it will jump to a few times that. What do you say? Wouldn't you make more money than a labyrinth?
I see, Ray nods with a bad grin. From Ray's experience, that seemed reasonable.
But if you find only one mistake in the receptionist's words.
"Ten days is enough."
Ray's grin deepens. That was a bad laugh, not to say that the plot had been accomplished.
Needless to say, the receptionist's face that was hit by it attracted me to 'eh...' but it must not be my fault that the client felt cold in a distant place.
