Stepping inside the coveted clan home while being guided, Ray was walking up the stairs toward King Yingjie's private room that it was on the roof.
In the middle of it.
"Ko, this is...!
Hitting one of King Yingjie's recommended dishes, Ray broke his face.
Crunchy if you bite. But the feeling of jelly that makes me go to Churn. The troll contents are as sweet as cream and seem to swing in your mouth.
Raise your voice unexpectedly, Ray roars.
"What a delicious spider! I never knew spiders tasted so good!
"You have acquired knowledge that you don't need for much more."
The first person to complain was Roana, who was present with Ray earlier.
"That's not true, Mr. Roana! Look, one bite............... just one bite, I'll give it to you!
"Eh, let me refrain... no way, with that spider, I didn't think you'd be reluctant... but you eat that. Or, please, just eat it."
Roana drew her body and distance herself from Ray, who presents a black object with 10 and a few legs growing with a flash of hesitation.
Then, now there's a black object from across.
"... I have no choice. Now take my TURNTURA..."
"I don't want it. ⁉ I don't want it, but I can't eat it!
It's not like when Ray was there. Roana trumps the offer with bassari, but the hand offered doesn't pull in.
"Hating to eat is not much praise. There must be a measure of what an adventurer can say or say."
Frowning, King Yingjie blames. But Roana is the one who's terribly sorry for that.
"Now you're not nearly starving to death enough to say it! You're crazy about eating stuff like that from time to time!
"No, I want to eat this from time to time, too. Normally delicious. Maybe next time we'll go spider hunting."
"Are you serious...?
I was Roana who doubted Ray's sanity about what the hell he was going to say, but there was a man who should have doubted his sanity more closely.
"Hmm, you have to be careful with that. Beginners can apologize and eat poisonous spiders. It's important to have solid knowledge first."
"I see... is it like a mushroom? Then even the antidote, if you have it ready, is going to eat anything."
"Excellent, flexible imagination. I did exactly the same thing, but if you can identify poisonous ingredients with your tongue, you're a first-rate eater, too."
"Top-notch, edible......!
What a heartbreaking word.
Even if that was a title that was often treated differently than what is commonly referred to as an appetite, Ray, with his habitual and distant appetite, may in some ways deserve it.
"I'm sorry that I'm motivated, but... it's smart for people to stop. It's the poison that kills me."
"No, that's not true. I used to take a lot of poison to get poison resistance, but as long as I had a solid, dedicated antidote, I was fine."
Ray says as there is no such thing.
Roana said it exhaled a deep sigh.
"What kind of reckless way did you do that... normally, you didn't have the option of polishing your cooking arm?
"That's all the cooks have to do. I just want to try something new."
"Totally...... oh so to speak. Anyway, I won't eat anything like that for life."
Roana shook her head as she shrugged back, drawing an early conclusion.
By the way, the conclusion is that these guys are crazy, that's all.
"That being said, don't you know this flavor? I also had resistance at first, but I couldn't bear to say it one day and then I liked it enough to remember this flavor and sometimes go hunting. Everything's a challenge, Roana."
"Don't be with geeky fans like you."
"Humans, you can't beat appetite no matter how. If it's there, it's the humans who take it even if it's a ghetto."
"If you're a normal person, you get your hands on fish and beasts sometimes."
At least the place where Churntura lives is in the mountains and forests, not in the untapped wilderness and so forth. Just because we don't have much food, there should have been as many other candidates before we got our hands on the spider.
But Roana noticed there.
"... wait a minute. Did you eat this even though you had something else to eat? Take this spider."
"I thought you said that."
"You weren't talking about dying of starvation!
Apparently, it wasn't the only thing that happened under the circumstances that Roana seemed to agree with. It is beyond comprehension for Roana, such as not even pressed for necessity, but wanted and spoken from herself.
He's like a baby who wants to put anything in his mouth.
Because that's the head of the biggest clan in the Labyrinth City...
"Enough, be my guest..."
In the end, Roana gave up any further questions. Whatever I said, I realized it was useless.
"Hmm, did I say something strange, I..."
"No, I thought you said something serious..."
If I don't go in there, Roana goes up the stairs first with Gungun alone with the will of iron.
Continues with his neck tilted afterwards, King Yingjie and Ray.
"... By the way, are you doing anything to pioneer new food?
"No, when I go to a new store, I don't dare ask for all the menus, but I've never done anything to open up new food myself."
"Well... actually, I've never missed a food challenge since I met this spider, but I can't find a flavor that goes beyond that."
"No, I guess that's no choice. I've never seen a spider so delicious before.
Roana moves on one, so we were both talking, and something sounds like it could crack from the front, and they all face forward.
There's Roana walking down a runaway staircase.
"Roana, are you always that powerful when you ascend the stairs? It's brilliant not to forget to train from day to day, but what about breaking down the stairs?"
"Sure... I guess it would be better to weigh in on your legs, both building and leg strength, instead of going up hard. I'll lend you as much as I can."
"That's a good idea. Roana, you should just try the more it works."
Let me just say then that Roana's power to step on the stairs has grown even stronger.
It was like a museum there.
A wide variety of versatile weapons decorated on one side of the wall. Which is not the same as one from shape to its length, but if we were to mention only one thing in common, what is all used up?
Bloodstained handles with a scratchy body. It was dearly decorated there until it was broken in two along the way.
From landscape paintings to sketches, the walls on its front are lined with paintings put in frames, regardless of good or bad. In addition, in the center of the room, there was a table with small items that were not decorated on the walls, on which various items were arranged in a narrow manner.
"Could this be..."
Because of the state and inconsistency of the objects, Ray, who perceived what they were, stopped his legs as he entered the room.
"Not at all... I wouldn't if I felt like it. I won't even tell you to dispose of it, but why don't you stop putting it in your room?"
"With my people, there's no way I'm going to lose my mind. This place... just keep it up."
Having gained certainty from the conversation between the two, Ray looked over those artifacts silently without saying anything. Among them, what stopped Ray's eye was still the kind of weapon that remained vivid.
Why is it left intact without any damage, scratches or blood being wiped off? That will be known only to King Yingjie, but as for the side to be shown, I feel that I am being shown the harsh reality of the labyrinth.
"Boy, why don't we talk over there? I hate this room."
"Oh, okay"
Ray nodded less than words and went out to the balcony in the back.
On the balcony, three chairs surrounded the table and were placed facing out, from where it was possible to admire a city the size of which would be comparable to the capital of a great power.
"Oh, I see. This is definitely it."
Regardless of the size, if it's just height, the labyrinth city is the best. Nothing lined up, the only place to look down on everything in the labyrinth city.
That was the private room of Palladio Legal, the clan leader of Sunny Sky Top.
I wonder if this kind of thing is also called a view of the king?
Ray thought about that without any concern and sat down to be pinched by the two of them.
"Well... then what the hell are we talking about? Is there anything you want to ask me?
"Right...... why did you want to see me? As far as I can tell, it's personal, but I don't know."
Until we met today, acquaintances of adventurers, such as Arsh and the others who traveled together at the militant tournament, were the most prominent candidates, but if I met them, they were people I don't remember ever knowing.
There's no way King Yingjie would bother to pick up Ray for wild horse reasons such as wanting to meet a rumored figure.
If so, why, and Ray was most concerned there.
"There's nothing profound about it. I'm just saying that I was with your parents. Now, you're in trouble here. Well, as far as that face is concerned, I hope you don't know, but you said you were expecting it?
"No, I met Mr. Gark before I got here, so I was just wondering if I'd ever see my dad again someday if I kept traveling."
"Oh, boy, did you meet that annoying old man?
Hearing Garc's name, Roana turned her eyes round.
"I would've been told all the details, wouldn't I?
"No, because we met occasionally and we didn't even talk that much. But if you're an artisan, you seem to care about the details. By the way, I really like all the gear I'm wearing right now."
That being said, Roana looked at Ray, who turned the robe gently, with interest.
"... I see, that sturdy thing seems to be doing well too. This is good. It is a first-class product that works even in the depths of the labyrinth. You're pretty messed up, aren't you?
"No, I'm not familiar with the market, so I can't say anything."
"Right. Well, anyway, two or three more is to have a first-class product. Apart from armor and all that, the kind of feathers that can weave and weapons are basic to carry. As we go deep, so does the demon's personality."
"I'm sure that's going to matter. But it's going to be tough when we all know."
"Because I do stupid shopping. There's no such thing as anything. You look smart and you're pulling stupid blood, you are. It's too thoughtful or something."
Remembering that Ray immediately abandoned his guardianship in his earlier presence, Roana's eyes on Ray are gentle, even though he said so in disdain. It's like looking at a nephew.
Is there anything wrong with the chief? Recommended products and such. Except for Getestuff, of course. "
"Hmm... that's hard"
"I'm going to ask you a very simple question right now."
Is it Roana's fault that I find it more difficult to recommend Getestuff rather? At least, Roana doesn't have any recommended gettestuff.
"Hmm... you're weak. Apparently, I'm not going to be able to help."
"What do you mean?
"I'm a little too special. Changes in weapons are mainly stone according to changes in the environment, demonic properties, but that is only one guiding principle, the way to do it. In my case, I am satisfied with the performance of the equipment given by the Forge God."
"Forge god's weaponry!?
First-class products are also first-class products. This item is counted as a legendary weapon. In fact, we often hear stories of alleged weapons struck by the Forge God appearing in numerous heirlooms and heroes Tan, and stored as treasures in various countries as a substitute for the national treasure class.
I'm afraid I don't have a whole set of those on my own.
"It's not surprising either. And there are most that are struck with the hand of Kakaen in the world. No matter who you are, you're not out there trying to let go."
"I didn't expect you to call me a stranger. That's a bigoted Dwarf. He seems so bigoted."
The impression of the Forged God, who allegedly gave birth to a Dwarf of stubborn artisanal temperament, doesn't seem to be a very good one in Roana. Now put aside if that's enough to dislike, and in Roana, who knows Dwarf's temperament well, the image of trying not to fit personally is very strong.
From King Yingjie's point of view, it's just a chunk of a fixed concept, but I'm not willing to say it here anyway, I just closed my eyes and ears to avoid standing a front wave that I know.
"... let's not ask about that now. Back to you, boy. I have other adventurers who make up for their skills, moves, and magic. It's less luggage, more flexibility, but it's also true that it's not very suitable when you look at long hours of activity in the labyrinth."
The exercise of skills and magic requires finite magic. For that matter, a limit of activity is born. It is important to extend this limit of activity in order to carry out continuous exploration, but one way of doing so is to make up for it with the performance of the weapon has become the mainstream in order to be the easiest and least expensive of magic.
But that costs a lot. For this reason, the status quo is even large clans, and long-term exploration can only take place at a rate of several times a year. King Yingjie suggested to Ray, including such a backward circumstance.
"I think we should get everything we needed once we saw it with that eye. Or if you were thinking about the right equipment for each tier than you were, you'd get a lot more advice from Roana than I do."
"Well, no matter how much money you have, it's not enough."
"That's what happened. So let go of the mansion that won't even be such a rice tare. I wouldn't do that if I were stupid."
Roana blamed him for wasting precious money and encouraged him to let go. But Ray, who doesn't even think it's a waste, said looking like what he was talking about.
"Oh, I don't like it. It doesn't matter how much money you have, but it springs up."
At last, Ray's sense of money, which was beyond the end of the line, was hard to say in a nutshell. Roana's face is unwittingly drawn.
"... boy, was that what Mullah said?
…… No, normally what I've learned in my life?
I see. Roana decided to write a letter. The destination, of course, is Mullah.
I didn't think the letter I was going to send out for the first time was going to be finished with your son, Roana, but there was nothing more inconsiderate about Ray than listening to what I just said and leaving him alone.
Roana took a deep sigh of it already and looked at Ray.
Just as expected. I miss the day I told those two I couldn't raise kids. Ledik goes without saying, Mullah is that one, and the roots are pretty insane.
If I told you, apparently it wasn't a mistake then to think that it was like mixing drama and drama.
Brilliantly of things, I'm growing up on a kid with a taga off.
"Chief, do something about this."
"Doesn't it matter? Values are for each person. If that's what he thinks, it is for him. I don't know what he's talking about either."
"Sora, I know it's like that from your earnings..."
Anyway, the pile is different. Even in view of Ray's unmatched common sense out-of-the-box activities, the rating is still medium. It can't even be equivalent to that top feeling. Sooner or later, it's a fatal drawback that could destroy you.
Yes, Roana evaluates based on today's battle.
"Um, no matter how strong the boy is, he can't still be on the front line, can he?
"Well, you are."
Returning a little further, Ray recognizes that it is rigorous in terms of equipment and strength. That can be seen from the simulation earlier. There's a bunch of people as equipped and powerful as Roana, and there's King Yingjie, and in the deep realm, he's eating his foothold. Not very much, but I don't think the Rays can do the same.
"Then think about it for a second. Even we need billions in a single quest. No matter how strong you say you are, you just came to the labyrinth and you wouldn't make that kind of money, would you?
"Right. We've only attacked 10 levels."
Leave aside the fact that Ray and his men make dozens of times as much money as the explorers of new America.
In the deep reaches, where only a limited number of clans are entering, the value of demonic materials and demonic stones jumps. It's very valuable.
For this reason, even if we can bring back materials and demonic stones without restrictions thanks to storage space, the earnings will not extend far to the Roanas.
"Well, I guess gradually my earnings will come up, but I'll have to take the form of a long-term expedition for that matter. Moreover, the demons became more and more troublesome and the equipment wore out faster. It's almost disposable, and we're always out of money."
"That's so intelligent."
"Totally. It would be easier if I could at least go on a day trip."
It's intelligent because it doesn't work that way.
While Ray still has a long way to go, the struggles of his predecessors, who seem to live a glorious life, are not human resources. Ray took a firm note in his head that he would have to gradually change his tactics, bearing in mind that it would eventually happen.
"That's why you should throw away a mansion that doesn't even add to that shit"
"That's okay because you can turn the request outside. I have people who can use the teleport."
"Teleport? You used to keep people like that company."
"Isn't that Boomerang? King Yingjie said that earlier."
Roana glanced at Ray for deluding him about the metastatic device.
"Oh, that's God.... of the sea."
"What? Are you using that pervert?
"You're spicy with a pervert. No god is thicker in love and more caring than she is. She always powders herself for the people who live in the ocean."
That would be too beautifying, Ray thought of the Sea God allergy. Daitan, by now, you must have appeared in some port to wield benevolent and annoying protection.
That Ray's anticipation was Dompisha, but on the other hand, I'm pretty sure there's a side to it like King Yingjie said.
If you seek help in the sea, the Sea God will surely appear.
She's so familiar with such myths that she's a care-giving god who can't leave even the same god alone, she is.
"Even the next time I see her, you should ask her what she usually does. It should change the way you look at it."
"No, I don't want to see you again if I can"
In retrospect, most of the time when meeting with Sea God, there was some trouble. Probably the troublemaker must be him. Even in that sense, you shouldn't meet Ray, who seems to be cursed in a Dikuld-style way.
Well, it was just a rejection out of Ray's mouth.
"Right. I don't feel compelled to.... By the way, there's one thing I want to ask you. Maybe it's something I don't want to talk about, but I want you to answer honestly. No matter, let's promise to keep it a secret."
"... suddenly. Fine, depending on what you're talking about, we'll talk about it if we can."
When Ray sipped his tea, he was impressed by King Yingjie's sincere eyes and changed his mind.
"So? What do you want to ask me?
"From a certain point of view, I heard openly about that incident. But I don't know one thing. Is the Demon Emperor really dead?
"I killed him... not that I want to hear it"
The presence of more than one Demon King Elgranda was impossible to hide through because there were numerous witnesses. For this reason, the Royal Government wiped people's anxiety away by offering Ray as a new hero. Whether it succeeded or not is half as good as the effect, but anyone who is smart will notice.
I was wondering if Ray had defeated the Demon King.
That kind of thing existed at the root of my distrust of Ray, and in fact, many times on previous journeys, I was turned to suspicion.
But Ray made it good for him to wear firepowder, and he tried not to sprinkle any extra anxiety on the Kingdom of Lykeberg.
But there is something definitely different now than before.
"I can assure you it will be you."
The man now in front of Ray is the most powerful man of all mankind. If anything - as the Sea God said - starts the Evil God War again, we need his power.
King Yingjie has the right to know the truth without falsehood.
"The man is alive. Somewhere in this world."
"... is it still true? Well answered. Thank you."
King Yingjie asked with some certainty from the beginning, not looking surprised, but rather just nodded that he was good at it.
"Roana, what do you do?
"... you're not going to do anything. That's the boy's job. Well, I guess I'm going to do that more than I did. Otherwise, the sword can't have fallen into its sheath."
"If that's all right with you, I don't mind. Again, do you need my strength, or more importantly, the power of this clan?
"... Was that rumor true"
A long time ago, when I hadn't been able to be an adventurer yet.
I've heard this story before.
The biggest clan in the world tells the story that labyrinth strategy is not their top goal.
What they prioritize is... hostility.
Enemies of fellow, intimate, lover, friend. That is the creed that should take precedence over them, the story that the labyrinth attack is second to none.
If such a clan asks you if you need strength, it's the same as if you already have help with revenge.
"Don't. If King Yingjie were here, he'd lose me."
"Right. But I just want you to remember one thing. We all support your revenge with all our hearts. That's because Elgranda, the Demon King, is a hateful vendetta, even for her companion, Roana. And myself, as someone who knows Redick the Immortal, I am always willing to help you. I want it in the corner of my head."
"... oh, I'll remember"
Is what I have just been told why King Yingjie cares about me? But I just found that out, and I don't have the sweet idea of having Ray do enemies instead, etc. That must be an act that loses the significance of this self-satisfying vengeance.
Ray only wants one thing.
It's about surpassing my great father. I do what I think vengeance is one means to that end. Let us be too imprisoned and never lose sight of the others.
But one thing Ray didn't understand. Why is it said that he is the king of the wise men who stand above the many heroes?
The shallow rays of the sun since we still met only captured that superficially.
"Well, come again. My cooperation has been turned down, but it doesn't change my feelings of support for you. So I have one suggestion..."
King Yingjie stopped speaking once and asked Ray for his face. That was because Ray was not cooperating to what extent, but was measuring support and receiving.
King Yingjie confirmed that there was no dissatisfaction in Ray's face and kept going.
"I recommend letting go of that sword. I don't deserve that sword for your revenge."
King Yingjie advanced to Ray, pointing to Scarlet Flame and saying something close to affirmation.
"May I ask why?
If that was just an adventurer's word, Ray would have cut and thrown it away easily. But his words were so heavy that he could not recieve them.
"On the contrary, I don't see why you would use that sword. Your vengeance is yours. It is your flesh that should be fulfilled. [M] Is that sword a substitute for your blood and sweat?
Hearing King Yingjie's claim, it was the word crystal of effort that came to Ray's mind. I don't know if it's appropriate, but I'm sure Ray didn't try to cultivate the power of Scarlet Flame.
"I know what I'm trying to say somehow. But this is the sword I inherited from my father. So I've decided to kill that man with this sword."
"Right. Well, it's an extra favor."
King Yingjie lightly dropped his claim.
Revenge is self-satisfying, no matter how you look at it. That is why the most important thing ends in terms of whether the person can be satisfied with it.
It makes sense to use scarlet flame in a ray. That's because it reminds me of that day's battle.
Look at my father. Burning sky. The grief I lost.
So Ray thinks this is the only sword. If you think so, that's fine.
I was not willing to say anything more to King Yingjie.
But Ray is not dissatisfied with the status quo, even if he is not dissatisfied with using Scarlet Flame.
"But well... honestly, I'm not sure I'm ripe to use it"
Ray appeared to be here, so he zeroed in. It's a weak face that Ray doesn't really show people.
Roana doesn't even know that Ray wants to strengthen his personality, but he convinced one person that zeroing such a weakness on the person he just met would be in extra trouble.
"Tools are things that you can't use unless you use them. I didn't suddenly use it when I was carrying it with me for the rest of my life. In the meantime, don't be afraid to use it."
"If you're a demon opponent. It's just very unusable for people. I almost killed a friend before."
I know exactly what Roana is saying. If you want to be able to use it, you have to start from where you use it.
It's just that it's already done. I tried it and found out that I couldn't.
But even if I couldn't, if I was the only one scratching with it, I would have been able to challenge Ray without giving up. But it was something that could take a man's life.
"So when you deal with people, you don't use scarlet flames"
I'm not willing to use it on Ray, at least until I can adjust the amount of flame.
"Are you sure you have a firm mind? Then I can only tell you not to work hard on your own. How's the chief? You know things for a long time, don't you?
"Hmm, right... let's make sure first. You want revenge with that sword. But the sword doesn't allow you to use what is recognized as the Lord, okay?
"Oh. Sadly, yes."
Ray shook his head small and vertically, returning it with affirmation.
"Then it's not like I don't know how"
"Is that true!?
Ray embarked on King Yingjie's words in a taste of devouring. Literally, King Yingjie put his fingers on the assembler without breaking his pace against Ray, who pushes his feelings across the straw as well.
"No matter. But there is no guarantee that it will always be available. So there's one suggestion from me."
A single index finger stretches to heaven over the paired fingers. King Yingjie laughed thinly behind it.
"I want you to show me your strength."
Eyes containing heat in the serenity were poured into Ray's face.
"Wasn't that enough earlier?
"You should feel it in person, I know it better"
"Then we'll have to make sure."
That said, Ray mumbled his teeth and laughed, and Roana ran a brush on the paper at hand.
"There are worries of battle frenzy...... and"
