<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode XIII Alliance Quest

□ Alter Kingdom Adventurer Guild [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

There are three types of quests that players can order with this Infinite Dendrogram.

A random event quest like the one that happened as soon as I started.

Next, a job quest dedicated to each job like Luke did.

And the third is the Alliance Quest.

Can be ordered at a facility named Adventurer Guild with a defined name and role.

Alliance, which is likely to be worn with a per-job alliance, but with different insides.

The Adventurer Guild is a resort for a wide variety of requests, including crusades, escorts, collections, and miscellaneous activities.

If you register and receive your guild card, you can also order a request, whether it's Master or Tian.

Now that the level has improved considerably, let's do it while we make money over there.

And Luke and I have been talking about trying to put it together once since we met, and this time we decided to order the same quest.

So.

"... too many requests to know which one to take"

"Hey......"

Me and Luke are stuck on a round table with a bunch of them in the Adventurers Guild and looking through thick booklets.

But honestly, I'm getting tired.

This thick booklet is a catalog of quests and can list requests currently available for order in this Adventurer's Guild.

It is a magical catalog that will increase automatically if Tian or player requests it while you are reading it, and will decrease automatically if ordered as well.

By the way, the request for difficulty that the player in hand cannot order does not appear from the beginning.

Difficulty with anything: Everything will be displayed up to three, but from now on it seems to be an open mechanism depending on the number of successful requests made by then.

but with that in mind, this catalogue is now unusually thick. There would be a thousand pages in the estimates.

For whatever reason, it is still the influence of [Destroyer King] and other < Super >.

More people are trying to escape from the King's capital as a result of the burning of the [King of Destruction] 's artillery bombardment, and the movement of traders due to the restoration of transportation networks to other cities has also been enlivened.

As a result, escort requests for travel to other cities have increased dramatically.

The problem is......

"The rewards and difficulty are too fragmented for similar requests to choose from"

"Hey......"

For example, there are dozens of escorts to Gideon, the dueling city where Mr. Figaro is, so the difficulty and rewards are too rosy.

Even with the same difficulty, the reward is 10000 lil different, the reward is the same but the difficulty is different, or the departure date and time are different.

It seems that the management AI in charge of the quest is calculating the difficulty, but why is the price wide with the same difficulty and the same content...

While I can't even order without thinking and comparing, the favorable quest begins to disappear from the catalog when others take it.

"And the escort work is subtle."

"Hey......"

Escorts need to be protected all the time.

but this is the player. I need to log out, and I can't escort you in between.

The people of Tian also know that situation as a setting for being "occasionally flown to another world."

As a result, < master > is not well suited to requests for escorts, which are largely the work of Tian's adventurers.

If it's too high a level, then it's different again.

"Maybe it's a good request for a delivery or something, not a person's escort. The reward drops a bit, though."

"Hey......"

"... Luke, there's just one word for that."

"Oh, excuse me. When I read the thick catalog, I remembered everything..."

Luke looks like he probably remembered about junior high school and studying for exams.

Luke is turning the page with a slightly empty eye whining, "Dad, your handmade textbook, that was thicker than this..."

I'm from Europe and the United States when Luke's face is no different than it is in real life.

Is the exam war fierce over there, too?

I had a hard time taking college too......

"Hmm."

"Mmm-hmm."

By the way, Nemesis and Babi have been looking through the booklet just like us since the last minute, but it's not the Quest Catalog that they're looking through.

Nemesis checks the bounty neck list, and Babi stares at the menu tables of the restaurants co-located within the guild.

"Master. From here to Gideon, every now and then there will be a prize-necked boss monster named [Robota the Wolf King] and [Gardranda the Great Ghost]. I wish I could leave."

"I hate it when you seem so blatantly dangerous..."

"Hey, hey, Luku, don't you think this special pudding alla mode would look great if I put Death Sauce on it? Want some Luke too?

"I don't like how it seems so blatantly dangerous..."

Out of consciousness from the noisy two, me and Luke decided to focus on the quest catalogue.

"Squeeze with difficulty for now? How difficult can it be?"

I've already talked to you about ordering work for Gideon.

He also wanted to go to Gideon as Luke.

They say there's a big demon market for everything and a slave market in Gideon.

"Right. Mr. Ray is stronger than the average level 12, and I think I'm just fine because I'm much weaker than the average level."

Continuing to exchange information on skills and levels, I found out that Luke was more than twice as good as me, but his status was low.

Only the MP and SP are higher than me and the other stats are less than half the house.

This seems to be because Luke's [girlfriend] is a weak job in status before I was a senior [saint].

[Woman] According to Luke's help, which is (it wasn't on my help. Likewise, Luke's help has no information on [the Holy Knight]), and [the Lady] relies on her ability to [attract] and distribute most of her combat skills in a skill-specific manner.

[Attractive] Seems like a really dead-or-alive job about whether to do it or die.

Well, I have no doubt that Luke's vocation is [female] in the past.

If it's not [Woman], I'll have to be [Angel] already.

"Master, calm down. A little [enchanted]"

"Ooh."

Of course Luke isn't using his [charm] skills against me. It only works for gender in the first place.

but there is one thing about being too pretty for the air.

Adventurers in the Alliance have been watching this one before, and some people are watching cancer.

And nothing that's attracting attention is caused by Luke alone.

Nemesis and Babi are also beautiful girls.

Three of the five people at this table are beautiful, so let's get some attention.

... Five?

"No, I've been coming to the Adventurers Guild for a long time, but my quests accumulate too much."

Marie, the [reporter] who sold us information about the PK disturbance, was also present at our table.

... No, when?

It was definitely me, Nemesis, Luke and Babi at first.

[Reporter] Is it also a skill to sneak onto the table?

"Is that it? Mr. Marie, why are you here?

"No, I had some business going to Gideon, the dueling city. You two are talking about going to Gideon when you finally want to take a request for something. I just have to ride this. May I join you?

"... I don't mind, but what about Luke?

"I'm fine, too. Rather comforting."

Indeed.

Me and Luke have never moved to another city before.

By contrast, Marie apparently also went to the Yellow River, another country. This kind of long-distance travel would also be something I'm used to.

That's pretty reliable.

Add Marie. Now the three of us turn the catalog.

"Difficulty: There was a [crusade request - [Sauda Phantom Sheep]] in two. And it's very rewarding."

"Oh, you can't do that. [Sauda Phantom Sheep] is a weak but difficult monster to discover, so just looking for it will take you three days."

"Difficulty: Two [Crusade Request - [Blue Remings]], this guy has a good reward too. There's a lot of fifty to defeat."

"It's weak, but easy to find, because it's a rat monster that's originally swarmed. Surprisingly easy."

"I don't like rats"

"Luke?"

"I don't like rats"

"Ooh..."

That's how you stare at the catalogue.

"Oh, isn't this nice?

That's what Marie said, pointing to a page.

Difficulty: II [Delivery Request - Duel City Gideon Interguild Delivery]

[Reward: 30000 lil]

"Deliver all kinds of deliveries from the Adventurer Guild of the King's Capital Althea to the Guild of the Dueling City of Gideon. There is a large amount of luggage, so this is a recommended request if you have an item box. The deadline is three days from now. '

"* We will send an assassin if he escapes with the delivery"

"This request is from the Alliance, isn't it? The process is easy because it can be delivered directly to the Adventurer Guild. It's a lot of rewards."

Well, that's a good one.

I care about the last sentence, but, well, I just hope you don't work evil.

"I want to take this quest, but what about Luke?

"Yes, that's fine with me, too."

It's settled.

"Decided -? I haven't had pudding yet."

Luke, and Nemesis and Babi answer my words.

We've decided on our first quest together.

"Well, then, Mr. Ray, I'd like an order, please"

"Hmm? I found Marie, but shouldn't Marie have ordered it?

"When multiple people take guild quests, they party together and representatives process them. At that time, the representative will specify the job."

"In other words?"

"If the delegates are [reporters] or [women], they won't look good in the guild reception, will they?

I see, indeed.

This request is a direct request from the Alliance, so they may not let you take it if you are too anxious about your strength.

In that regard, [Saint Knight] would have no problem.

... but I guess I'm the lowest level of this, okay?

"In the world, first of all, labels and containers are what you see. I think it's a good idea for Ray to take it here."

That's what Luke said, so I decided to take orders on my behalf.

Take the catalogue to the reception of the guild and present the request page.

"Yes, that's an order for a request. I'm in awe. Now please present your guild membership card and fill out this form."

I give the lady at the reception the membership card I just made and fill out the form.

Finish acknowledging my name and job, the names and precautions of the party members who are going on the quest with me.

"We have confirmed your order for the quest. Then take delivery from the counter over there."

I pick up the delivery as instructed and put it in the item box.

I'm ready.

So a new step for us, the Alliance Quest begins.

Target is Quest Difficulty: II [Delivery Request - Duel City Gideon Interguild Delivery].

The destination is Gideon, the dueling city.

Quest, start.

■ Alter Kingdom ·?????

Drink.

There was just a drink.

What that applause means is joy.

Countless little ghosts (goblins) roar with joy.

At the end of their gaze, they had limbs, just like them, but as if they were different creatures - because there were humans.

They were hungry.

I don't know why, but because humans haven't passed their territory in the last few days.

They did not accumulate hungry, hungry, who preferred humans to carry loads.

In the meantime I was spending time eating other monsters, but with humans, it was the only bait I was dissatisfied with them for remembering the taste of human food.

So they rejoice.

That the movement of those who were blocked by the "mountain” has returned.

Now again, that their favorite appeared before them.

One human being through this territory the other day was horrible and we all had to shake and wait for it to pass.

But not every human being who passes by now is horrified.

Then this man and his load shall be nothing but their feast.

"Giggly!"

"Gegaaaaaa!"

Each one of the little ghosts roars and rushes out toward the carriage at the end of his gaze.

"[Goblin]!? What, this number...!

"Husband, not very much, but you can't handle this number! Run the carriage as far as you want!

"Oh, oh!

"We're getting away, too!

A fat merchant man speeds up the carriage, and Tian's adventurers, who work as merchant escorts, also rush out to follow.

Their travel speed is fast and they won't be able to keep up with the little ones like this.

So the little one could roar.

Cheers, joy, roared.

"What are those guys, intimidating you?

"Don't worry! Keep running!

They are not intimidating or anything.

Regardless of the enemy, they don't do such pointless imitations before a treat.

They were just - calling it (...).

"Ha, you're going to get away with it apparently............ eh?

Shortly afterwards, the merchant was crushed by “something” coming down from the sky.

“Something” next turned his gaze to the adventurers as he stepped on a rounded, crushed, pulpy corpse.

"Hey, oh!?"

"No way, this guy's, uh, [Gull]"

They were not given time to vomit meaningful words.

I just had time to be ravaged by the "something” in front of me and the little devil who chased me.

"GOOOAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

“Something” and a bunch of little ghosts flattened the treat and returned to their dwellings.

When I'm hungry again, expect a treat to pass.

The name of this area is Nex Plains.

south of Sauda Mountain Road, north of Gideon, the dueling city.

It was an area I had to pass if I was going to be a dueling city.
