Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

"His name is Pale, and he's an adventurer in the capital. I was supposed to visit Alistair's city on a separate occasion, so I was asked to call to see exactly what you were capable of."

He introduces me to an adventure-style man standing behind the couch.

After all, were you an adventurer? And being nominated immediately by the aristocracy for a request should be quite a known adventurer.

"So, how was his status?

An adventurer called Pale was shaking his head when the Count asked.

I was not surprised because I knew about the failure of the appraisal, but the Count was surprised.

"It's unusual for you to fail."

"First of all, I can tell you when appraising a subject, it's very difficult to appraise someone stronger than you, and you're likely to fail. In my case, I have the disadvantage of not being able to identify someone with higher magic than my own. I'm pretty confident in magic, and I have 5,000, so I can't fail without a monster like S-rank."

Again, will people be treated like monsters to the S-rank?

And I'm as much thought of as those people.

I guess the figure of 5,000 is broken, indeed, from a normal person's point of view. But Hate and this one are also magical 16510. There was a subtle increase in magic when Labyrinth Magic: Toolbox (Item Box) was used many times to bring it to the Alliance.

"Even if you fail to do so, you can greatly see how much more magic the other person has than you. But it's impossible... that it's three times what I am!?

Was it too surprising that the "I" used in front of the Count collapsed and became the "I"?

Yeah, I'm sorry I seem to surprise you. It's just not exactly triple, it's more than 3.3x, but don't you even need to tell me such details?

"And..."

"Do you still have..."

The Count sighed.

"Appraisal is common if the rank of rarity is neither S for the equipment. But I also used an appraisal on his armored sword, his shoes..."

Failed, that's like saying my gear is S-rank.

"I see. You mean the equipment is a first-class item while leaving the person's strength"

It is directed towards my brother, who is only at the entrance of the room for a moment so that the person behind whom the Count's gaze is not known.

My brother would have been sober to hear the Counts' assessment of me, but in this situation he should have been surprised. Being unresponsive in this situation is like saying you knew the circumstances beforehand.

"Okay. I'm sorry I didn't know exactly what you were capable of, but let's drop you off this time."

After the Count is convinced, the butler, who had refrained behind him, puts him on a silver basin and gives him a single letter.

"I called you because I want you to do what you're asked to do."

"Request, is it?

Then why don't we just go to the guild and have them make us a request?

"I want to make this request as secret as possible. Even so, it's an easy delivery job to have you do."

Do you mean to deliver this letter?

"I want this letter and one magic tool (magic item) delivered to a nobleman I know in King's Capital. That magic tool is a delicate substitute for breaking even with a little shock, so I'm going to have to take the time to get to the King's Capital, but I remember your presence, so I want you to deliver it."

With those words, I understood why the Count wanted to ask me.

I rely on the storage ring I have. If you store it in this and I go as far as the King's Capital, it won't break by impact on my journey, unless any impact is exerted and the storage ring itself is broken.

According to stories heard, the Wang capital is more than ten days away by carriage, and the journey is quite impacted by the long journey of what is paved thanks to the presence of a street. Besides, it's also a demonic raid along the way, and if you can't protect it, you may not be safe.

In that sense, I was on a boat crossing with a storage ring.

But an adventurer, unaware of those circumstances, suggested to the Count.

"Count. I'll be the A-rank adventurer in Wangdu."

"You?

"Yes, they do appreciate their appraisal abilities, but they also specialize in magic because they have 5,000 magic powers. I have a request, so I'll be leaving in three days, but then I'll be heading back to the King's Capital, so it shouldn't be a problem if I take that request."

If you do plan to return to the King's Capital, it would be more reasonable to ask that person, and you could lower your reward by returning.

However, we have storage rings over here, so we beat them in terms of safety.

"Unfortunately, this request has been decided upon by him"

"... can you tell me why?

"You're good at identifying people. You rated him as out of standard. Then I'm sure he'll grow up in the future."

The Count seems to value me highly, but I'm not going to do that much.

Because I continue to be an adventurer, I became an adventurer to dive into the labyrinth before I became a labyrinth master (dungeon master), and I no longer need to take requests, but because of this, I became an adventurer, so I continue to be a B-rank adventurer, and while I continue to take requests from village chiefs, I find it difficult to quit.

He noted from the Adventurer Guild if he hadn't received the request for a long period of time, and sometimes he would be disqualified from being an adventurer if he didn't change it, but when he did, he was going to continue to be an adventurer to the extent that he wasn't so inflexible because he thought it would be fine.

So as far as I'm concerned, I don't have fine dust such as I'm going to make it...

"We need to get him to take requests to show that we've been connected to him for a long time."

Indeed, if we deal with the nobility of the request received from the nobility, the story will permeate between nature and the nobility. There won't be any noise now because people like me with no great track record are opponents, but if the Count, as he says, grows up... no, no, so it's tough if he even grows up to be a senior adventurer who's hard to get around.

Nevertheless, there's no way you won't take the request of the Count, lord of Alistair's city.

It's like a family spending time in this city being taken hostage, just like they did when they bore the debt.

More importantly, I do not want to be hostile to the Count, the Lord.

"Are you going to keep the suspicious aside like him?

"Indeed, thanks to your appraisal, there is no longer any possibility that 'the power has only been increased by equipment and other forces'."

I may have been able to defeat the demon without being otherwise affected by my stats by my skills, but I've been made known thanks to Pale for examining me to the point that I have non-standard powers.

"Well, I confirm with you, Mars. Are you going to be hostile to me?

As Count, I guess I just need to hear the answer to this question because I've gotten around to the rear of all the events that happened in the village.

I'll answer as I thought.

"I'm not going to be hostile. I can't be specific, but my gained power is that associated with the labyrinth. In order to use that power, the labyrinth must remain in its present form. And that's why we want Alistair's city to have it in the future."

"Okay. Let's not ask about specifics. But when the city's in danger, I'm gonna let you rely on your help, okay?

"Yes, we will work with you to the best of our ability"

That's not a big hassle.

"Fine. Then bring me that one."

When the Count said, the butler placed one crystal on the table.

It's a clear, beautiful crystal about 30 centimeters in diameter, and even an amateur I can tell it's expensive just by looking at it. And it's going to break easily just to add a little shock.

"I want this magic tool and letter delivered to Viscount Wayne, who is in King's Capital. Let's get you five gold coins as a reward for success."

"Thank you. May I keep it for you on this occasion?

"Of course."

Touch the crystal and the letter to fit it inside the storage ring.

I was surprised by the performance of the storage ring I saw for the first time, but was convinced using an appraisal. Uh, this storage ring wasn't the only one that was so constrained by performance, so you're ranked low.

"For more information on where Viscount Wayne's mansion is and more, ask the butler's balloon"

"Okay."

Mr. Balud, the butler, takes him to a separate room and asks him about how to get to the Wang capital as well as the mansion.

Speaking of which, just listening to you, you've never even been to Wang Du before.
