Episode 223: The Demonic Continent, Arriving
Again - let's sort out what a place is called the Demonic Continent.
This world is made up of six continents in large part.
Demon continent.
Beastman continent.
Dragon Man Continent.
Demon Continent
North Continent
And it's a demonic continent.
Once upon a time, five brave men of all races defeated the six great demon kings and sealed them.
Heritage tells us that the last one survives deep in the demonic continent.
Because of the influence of the last Demon King, the number and quality of demons are high, out of step with other continents.
If the inhabitants of other continents go to the demonic continent without much preparation, they cannot return alive first. That's common sense in this world.
Replacing the continent's position with a clock hits the 6 o'clock position.
In such a place, Mr. Gigi asked me to help him because my daughter-in-law, Count Dan Gate Blood, the father of Chris Gunsmith, had been bought as a slave.
Once we returned to the headquarters of the New and Pure Knights on the Beastman Continent.
This is because we will be resting for a long time, and because the destination has to be fully equipped for the demonic continent.
Another trip will take the other daughters-in-law, but Cocono was set to leave.
Because you can't take her to a dangerous place like Monster Continent, sick and without combat skills.
Cocono in this, while remorsefully distorting his face,
"... ok. I'm sorry that I can't help you, Lute, but I would like to wish you all well at HQ (here) and wait for you to return."
Cocono does not say my utmost, but pulls back heavily.
You understand that even if you follow, you just pull your legs.
Then we boarded a rented airship when we were ready and headed to the Demonic Continent.
Mr. Gigi should be ready to head to the demonic continent first.
Joining Mr. Gigi would be a prerequisite first.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
The city to which we headed by airship is one of the gateways of the Demonic Continent - Heidingsfeld.
The airship reaches its point of departure.
There is only a city on the demonic continent, and the walls seem thick and robust like Norte on the northern continent.
They're carrying supplies from these cities to the depths of the continent.
Return the rented airship and observe Heidingsfeld again.
If I went to the demonic continent, I wouldn't be able to live home - the city was huge and many people existed at the rate they said it was.
It feels like a normally busy harbor town.
The main export of the Monster Continent is the material of the Monster.
Unlike other continents, both quality and number of materials are available in high volumes.
Other minerals, herbs that can only be taken on the demonic continent, etc. have been transported to other continents.
But there is no way the city could flourish more in a place of high risk with that degree of resources.
Unlike other continents, cities on the Demonic Continent receive aid from countries.
Why the aid is being paid - the Demonic Continent is too strong a demon to grasp the full story yet.
On top of that, the legend says that 'Demon King', a potential threat to all nations, is alive.
Therefore, countries are funding each other to investigate the demonic continent.
If the money is collected, so are the people.
Unruly adventurers blinded by gold to make themselves known for the danger.
A merchant who smelled business.
People who fell into slavery and were brought here.
Three aristocratic men, four boys and various others sent in the name of human resources support from various countries.
- People congregate constantly for a variety of reasons.
Because of this, the city is a crucible of races that gather a wide variety of races at first sight.
"Well, I just had to stop. Do you want to join Mr. Gigi?"
Snow and the others walk out with my hanging voice.
There's one inn on the way.
His name is Sari.
Looks like Mr. Gigi was staying in the house before, and he plans to stay here again this time. Move the map Mr. Gigi drew for me with one hand.
The inn Sari was built on the corner facing the boulevard.
It is a disappointing building and seems to paint a picture of the quality rigidity.
I went inside and told Gigi about his characteristics and made sure he wasn't staying - but he bowed his head when he didn't let me know about the guests.
Let's just calm down first, so I'll get a room.
The room is one for me, Snow, Chris and Reese.
Shea, Maya takes one room each.
The room did not like excessive decorations and was furnished only with simple furniture.
A simple and functional room in a good way.
In a bad way, it's a tasteless room.
But as for me, I'm the former, and I'm convinced that Mr. Gigi's going to like to stay there again - one.
Time is noon.
Eating meals and sightseeing in the city led me to go outside.
When I left the inn, I just met Mr. Gigi face-to-face.
Gigi seems to be just having lunch, too, and we decided to move straight to the diner.
Everyone gets to the table, but after all, only Shea takes a seat and devotes herself to serving.
You don't have to bother doing it in a place like this......
But she doesn't bend her opinion, so this one has to break.
And eat a meal and briefly check the future flow with Mr. Gigi.
"Lute first, thank you for coming, thank you"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Gigi? If it's to help your husband, of course."
As Gigi bows her head to discipline, I respond with ease.
"It would help if you could say that. Quickly, but I need you to move from this city to Alberta first."
Alberta is more of a city in the back of the continent than the port town of Heidingsfeld, where we are now.
It's like Cocoli Street on the Beastman continent, like a relay street carrying supplies to the depths of the continent.
I hear your husband is located about a month or more away on a horse from the city.
"In the meantime, to the next city of Alberta, six days later, I had my hands set on heading with the merchants. It's more or less a ten-day journey."
"Why are you with the merchants again?
Gigi answers my questions lightly.
"Demons of the Demonic Continent, as we know, are stronger than other continents. Because of the number of them, they fight demons very often. So on this continent, it's common sense to travel between cities with more than a certain number of people. While you are letting some troops fight, others rest. Fighting in multiple units alternately adjusts fatigue."
Of course, a large number of people also means insurance.
It's normal to take safety margins, but we seem to be more careful on the demonic continent.
I soak the barley bread in the stew and soften it before eating.
After swallowing it, I made everyone ask questions.
"The Demonic Continent is really noisy, isn't it? If the merchant squad leaves in six days, you might want to fight the demons around here once and grasp the feel. What do they think?
"Maybe Lute's right, for sure. All of a sudden, 'The real deal! Do you want to fight more than practice?
'Right. I agree with your brother Lute, too.'
"I agree with you even as far as I'm concerned, but you disagree that right away today. I'm still tired of traveling, and it's hard if I can't do it and get hurt."
Reese's opinion is good.
We still have six days before we leave.
There is no reason to do it today.
"Sure. So fighting demons around here is a decision, and taking a quest is two days from now to take fatigue, so is there any difference?
"I agree. But since it's a corner, I think it's better to make sure that after this, you have a look at where the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) is and what kind of quest it has. I think it's better to keep a star on the location and which quest you're going to take on that day than to follow through in two days."
Of course I'm convinced of Maya's opinion.
But everyone, except Mr. Gigi, made her face strong in her dialogue.
If it's the usual development, the receptionist's relatives are there.
I don't think so, but I wonder if there will be more like you this time...
Mr. Gigi tilts his neck.
"What's up? I know where the Adventurer's Good Offices (Alliance) is, so I'll show you when we're done."
From Gigi's reaction, it is unlikely that the receptionist will be there.
However, there are some examples in the North Continent where he serves as branch head of the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild). It's possible that Mr. Gigi hasn't seen his face because he's pulling back.
Shea opens her mouth, having remained silent until now.
"... young lady, do you want to get ready for the coffer (big)?
The coffer (large) is as large as a travel bag compared to a regular coffer.
For growing up, not just 9mm (9mm Parabellum bullet), but a 40mm grenade bullet can be fired from the other side, with a gimmick that also flies the blade out of the side with a button operation.
It's a substitute for increasing firepower compared to regular coffers.
No, no, because I'm not going to fight a hundred adventurers.
Besides, unlike that receptionist, the only relatives on other continents are friendly people.
So it's not enough to take out the coffer... isn't it?
"And in the meantime, let's see where the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) is once and what the quest will be at a later date, as Maya says. Gigi, can I ask you to show me around?
"Oh, of course. Leave it to me."
Take Ms Gigi's understanding and tell her the detailed story she needs to move the other merchants as she eats.
And when we finished our meal, we headed to the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild).
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
The Adventurers' Good Offices Association (Guild) was built in a section where Adventurers' facilities were gathered.
Wooden, not so different from other continents.
He was enlivened by adventurers who tried to defeat the Demon King and raise his fame like a five-race brave man, and by those who came to earn more money from demons than from other continents.
On behalf of me and Mr. Gigi, we go inside because entering the building for all (7 people) at once would get in the way.
The Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) remains the same in the building.
There is a quest request on the corner of the wall.
After all, I have the impression that there are more requests for monster crusades than chores such as herb collection and building repairs.
"Mr. Gigi, which demon would be the strongest around here?"
"You're this' heavy rock '"
Mr. Gigi does not hesitate to point to a request affixed to a corner of the wall.
A demon named Heavy Rock has a body length of more than 2m and is a demon whose whole body is covered like armor with hard rocks. Because of this, it is difficult to knock them down with swords and spears, and it seems common to knock them down with magic, axes and hammers.
It's like trolls and oaks wearing stubborn armor, and what's even more troublesome is that heavy rocks are constantly traveling in flocks.
Even more belligerent, you think it attacks regardless of the number of people on the adventurer's side?
Even adventurers confident in their arms are often murdered so chaotically that they are surrounded by groups and attacked and do not retain the prototype.
"I see... then I guess the quest I'll take the day after tomorrow is this' Heavy Rock Crusade '"
"... I think the Lutes will be fine, but don't be alarmed."
"Are you taking this quest?
When I hear Gigi's worried voice, an Adventurer's Good Offices (Alliance) official breaks into our conversation.
The opponent is a male employee of a racial race with a good-looking smile on his face.
"I just got it today and I'm just here to check on the quest. I'm still tired of traveling. The day after tomorrow, I wish I could take it again."
"I see. I hope you don't make it impossible. It's also important for adventurers to get tired."
Male officials nod with a soft face and try to leave in a gracious manner.
I hastily pulled him back and asked him if he was whispering.
"With all due respect, I'd like to ask you something..."
"Ha, what is it?
All of a sudden, he switches to a serial look, cares about his surrounding eyes and talks to me in a whisper, and a male employee sets himself up.
I was wondering if it was an important project or a problem.
"... is there a receptionist in this Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) with horns growing from the heads of the demonic races?
"Are you the receptionist?
Male employees have a clapped look somewhere.
"No, I'm not here. Because there are not many women in the demonic continent because the danger is different from other continents. The Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) here also has only male employees, except for racial receptionists. What's wrong with that?
Ooh! This is a rare pattern!
Move to other continents to visit the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild), Receptionist or I can't believe you don't have any of those relatives!
"I'm sorry, I have something very personal to worry about. Thank you."
"Really? Then I'll be around."
In thanking his male staff, he returned to work again.
When I dropped off his back like that, I felt a sudden breeze blow in my chest.
Usually, visiting Adventurers' Good Offices (Guilds) on other continents had the relatives of a receptionist. That's what I was surprised about in the beginning, but when I find out I'm not here, I feel kind of short.
What a miserable creature I am to be human.
What did Gigi mistake such sorrow for me...
"By receptionist of the demonic race, you mean receptionist of that dragon continent?
"Uh, yeah. I used to see her relatives the other day."
"You really admire her like a sister with Lute."
Apparently, from Gigi's eyes, she mistakenly misses the receptionist I admire.
It's not hard to correct how scared we are of that receptionist here and now, and Gigi's mistake.
But I'm afraid of later...
"Soudesne. I ha receptionist, Sun. Respect Shitheymus," he said, moving his mouth like a machine as he gazed in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
Excuse me, Mr. Gigi.
I'm not strong enough to buy that receptionist's grievances.
Thus I confirmed the location and quest of the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Guild) and joined my daughters waiting outside.
