From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me

The Archaeological Guild building we entered was a little larger than the branch of the commercial guild.

And in the hall immediately after entering, there was a counter for reception in the form of a close look, but besides, there were numerous tables hung with hanging tags such as "Ancient Relics Survey and Purchase" and "Exploration Squad Counter".

Apparently, within the archaeological guild, there is a fine division. Officials were on each counter, but the uniforms they were wearing were also different.

Everyone was curious, and we were put on a centrally placed table while those officials turned to us with a flickering eye.

"Again, I greet you. I am the head of this archaeological guild - to be precise, I am Michaela Grace, head of the research department."

Michaela said that quietly after serving us tea.

I was told that the archaeological guild consists of two divisions: an exploratory team responsible for excavating sites, exploring, etc., and a research team responsible for research and analysis, but she seems to be the latter among them.

"Oh, thank you very much. I'm a haulier accelerator. This is my buddies Baselia, Saki and Daisy. Well, I think I already know about these three."

With that said, Michaela opened her eyes a little surprised.

"You are... Rumor has it that Axel, the flying hauler, is having a party with some brave men. I heard about you coming to this city..."

"Oh, a while ago."

"I see. Were you? It's good to see you. A friend of mine, the Knights Commander, even Sidonius, told me all sorts of stories by letter."

I knew there were members of the archaeological guild who were cordial with Sidonius, but apparently this woman is.

"So Daisy was one of Axel's people, too?"

"Oops. That's why I was in this city."

"Was it? It's good to see you for a long time. And to Mr. Daisy."

Michaela slowed her mouth and smiled, then, but, uh, exhaled deeply,

"But still... I'm surprised. I can't believe some of you, like you, come round your bare skin through this purple storm... And I can't believe you're flat out with that."

I'm going to say that.

"Eh? Is that a surprise? 」

This city is basically warm.

The weather is noticeably cloudy, and I have hardly ever seen sunny weather, but the humidity is low and the temperature remains basically high.

So a lot of people were seen dressed to give their complexion.

Though I thought there were some clothing people with more exposure than us.

I don't know what surprises you, but if you think about it,

"Right. This sandstorm is not normal, so... all the time, oh, just in the right place. Look at that..."

That said, Michaela pointed her finger at a window in the conference room.

Through that window, I saw the corner of the boulevard. but

"... you have a great sandstorm"

Until earlier the beautiful boulevard was now covered in sandy winds. Besides, it's not just sand.

"Is that a sandstorm with purple? That's not normal."

"Yes. That's why I call it Purple Storm. And color isn't the only specificity of it. It's a little hard to see, can you see the groove in front of the boulevard?"

View the points made.

It's a small ditch on the ground on the main street.

There, one red apple was rolling.

Perhaps it was dropped by an earlier rushed pedestrian, etc.

"Is that it? Something's changing color, sir."

"Oh. I mean... haven't you gone numb...? 」

The apple was discolored as I saw it.

Corruption, not withering, would that be the correct expression?

Soon, the moisture was taken away and dried within less than a minute.

"... what is that, Mr. Michaela? That's not normal."

"Yes, this purple sandstorm - the wind we call purple storm, like that, moisture takes it"

"It's not just a storm with weird colors on the sand, is it?"

"Yes, a storm caused by magical sand, characterized by taking away moisture and magic. We call it the Purple Storm because of the colour of the sand."

To Michaela's words, Daisy tilted her neck.

"Wait, Michaela. When I was in this city before, this weird sandstorm wasn't happening, was it? 」

Michaela returns her affirmation to Daisy's line that there was a normal sandstorm.

"Yes, even from us, it started to happen a few months ago. With the help of an archaeological guild, an investigation revealed that purple storms were coming from the desert, and that moisture and magic were taken away from them. Once it occurs, it can last at least half a day....... I think you can all feel the impact if you gently get your hands out the window right now. Try it."

"Well, I'll try."

Said, only a little Baselia, who was near the window, opened the window.

As the sandy wind blows in slightly, Baselia puts her arms out the window just a little bit. but

"Hmm? It might be a little hard to tell...... I wonder if this, water, magic, is being sucked."

And I was leaning my neck.

Saki turns a half-eye to her like that.

"Dragon King Hydra... You have a dull sensory organ... You can see a little bit of magic scattering though. … I don't know if I need to concentrate on it."

"Yeah? Really, Liz Noir?... and, uh, if you tell me, I feel a little thirsty on my skin, maybe. It feels dehydrated, it could have come out! 」

Michaela laughs bitterly at such a Baselian reaction.

"Unlike apples, organisms have the protection of status, so they are resistant, and resistance by magic is automatic. Besides, if you're all over the city, unlike the desert, there's a protective junction, so it's bearable to some extent.... and from what I've seen, you guys are going to be able to stand it for quite some time, because as long as I was in the city, I would have been fine with purple storms. You can't help but react to that. Your condition is astonishing because we will soon become dry and weak."

"Oh, that's why Mr. Michaela and the guild clerks, when it first happened, had the kind of eyes that surprised me."

Explained and understood.

But at the same time, I knew the danger. So,

"Even so, you almost got into a situation where you might get sick if you stayed that way. Thanks for letting me know, Michaela."

To thank her, Michaela smiled embarrassingly.

"No, because it's natural to help each other. Sandstorms have been around for a long time, but it's only recently that sandstorms have begun to appear that will take away the magic, and it's only very recently that the research of this guild's research team has shown the effect. It's coming from the archaeological guild so that we can all be careful. - It is still under investigation and the transmission of information cannot be perfected, 'so be careful with purple sandstorms. If I meet a purple cloudy sky, I'll go indoors.' He just wants me to tell him.... I just did the same thing this time."

I see. Was it also the result of what was said in the commercial guild?

Thanks to their investigation, they decided to move quickly, so thank God. That's what you think.

"So, what could I do for you today in this purple storm? 」

Michaela calmed down after a sip of tea asked me that.

"Uh... right. Simply put, I'm talking about wanting materials that archaeological guilds have..."

This one is easy to explain over here. So,

"In the meantime, Sidonius in Kamiyashi City told me to give you this letter of recommendation and a letter first if it was to the guild leader, so I'll give it to you."

Corner, that would be easier, that's what Sidonius arranged for me to do. Let me use it first, and I'll hand Michaela a letter and a letter of recommendation.

When she saw the letter, she loosened her cheeks.

"Well, the way you write this letter... is definitely a letter from Sidonius. - I'll see."

"Detailed stories, too, I think they're on there. If anything happens, ask me a question or something."

"Yes. Thank you. Okay, wait a minute."

That's how it didn't take a few dozen seconds for Michaela to spread the letter and the letter of recommendation and read it down.

"I see... Axel's, who was a former dragon knight brave... cooperation in providing materials to repair spears, etc.? What materials do you need? 」

It was Daisy who answered Michaela's words like that.

"Oh, I'm in charge of repairs for the detailed part about the material, but I'm answering now - the spear repairs are going up to half way. To cure it even further, I want the precious material 'Yang Scale'. And I want to rent an ancient blacksmith. Sure, that would have been taken over by the archaeological guild from among the ancient sites, too, wouldn't it? I was hoping you could lend me some of that."

"Eh... to the scales, ancient blacksmith, is it..."

In response to Daisy's words, Michaela slightly distorted her face.

"Taking that look is difficult to cooperate with...? 」

"Oh, no, that's not it. Rather, I would gladly cooperate as a request from the brave men who saved Sidonius and other Kamiyashi cities..."

So far, Michaela chose the words so she couldn't speak, but opened her mouth.

"There's a part of me that's situationally impossible."

"What do you mean you can't? 」

"The scales, the ancient blacksmiths, are placed in a special warehouse called the Exploration Vault, but the person authorized to open it is now missing."

"Missing? Is something wrong? 」

When asked, Michaela nodded and began to answer quietly.

"Yeah...... It is the head of the department in charge of exploring the desert zone and the ruins there in our guild that has the authority - the head of exploration… it has not returned as it passed through the city a few days ago"

"Is that, indeed, missing or shipwrecked"

"Yes. Yesterday, in an urgent sentiment, I said, 'In the desert with my partner Snake God, inaction. Not Returnable' was the only one sent. but that's clear."

"Is he alive? Or what's a snake god? 」

"I am a land god who is working with the archaeological guild. You're familiar with all kinds of ancient magic, and even in this city, you can be served. Among ancient magic, we are especially familiar with defense technology, and we want you to protect the city."

The word God of the Land, Baselia, uh, raised her voice.

"Land God...... is an indigenous phantom creature who's been given God's blood, right? You're acting with such a presence? 」

"Yes, or because this investigation is from a serpent god with a desert in his dwelling place, who asked me to cooperate. There's an odd sandstorm going on, so he wants us to look into it together."

"Oh, I see. Did God of the Land ask you to do this?"

Land God often retains more powerful abilities than men for what He has given blood to them.

I came across it many times during the war, too, and I heard it from them.

So they can do more work than normal people.

However, there are still things that cannot be done, and if you decide that it is difficult to accomplish your purpose on your own, you may make a request to a person.

... A native land god would have been able to communicate with the local inhabitants.

"For the most part, the Land God has the nature to move to protect people, but so did the Snake God."

"Yes, the Snake God is bright in his knowledge of the desert, and he tries to move for the city himself... if I say so, he's a little over-dedicated. I'd really like you to be more self-loving..."

And, after looking a little lonely, Michaela shook her neck to the side and continued the conversation.

"Whatever, I can't even be sweet with such a snake god, and it was only a few days ago that I entered the investigation with the Explorer, another representative of the archaeological guild. He said -" The Chief Explorer "has the power as a senior position, and I have done dozens or hundreds of desert surveys so far, so I wasn't worried..."

"I can't go back either of you," he said, considering the sentence in the memoir that came this time.

"So far, there's a good chance of that"

Michaela nodded strangely.

From what I've heard, I seem to have placed a lot of trust in the power of that explorer. So, to see the look on your face now, the shock seems huge there.

"The cause remains unknown... but given the amount of water reserves he took, the magic restoration pills, and this sandstorm... the limit will be from tonight until tomorrow, etc. So I'm searching for people from the Archaeological Guild and people from the Adventurers I hired in the Guild who can withstand sandstorms..."

"I haven't found it," he said.

Michaela nodded.

"The strength to withstand purple sandstorms, blowing in this desert, is too limited. By the time I was able to send an urgent message, the search point was narrowed… I was a little short on manpower."

After saying that much, Michaela lay her eyes down.

And I've looked at this one like I've made up my mind.

"... and Mr. Axel. Brave men. I apologize for the way the conversation went, imitating the kind of sympathy you buy, and also seemingly shielding your purpose. However... I would like to see your sandstorm resistance and make a request. - Please. Can you help me with the rescue? 」
