Kuro no Maou

Now, here is the first quest for the sunny, formed adventurer party, Return to Ashes (Ashes to Ashes).

Quest Platinum Box

Compensation - 2 million clans. The reward amount increases or decreases due to the quality of the material.

One week from deadline and order.

Client/Zanadu Heavy Industries Workshop 3

Request Details - Deliver one Platinum My Mai shell. Multiple deliveries are also possible.

Platinum My Mai is a snail monster, as the name suggests. It's like the shell on his back contains a lot of platinum (platinum) and carries essentially, gold.

No, gold and platinum are entirely different metals... but in the first place, I don't know if the metal I take from him is real platinum or a completely different metal that shines white gold.

Well, whatever, there's no substitute for him being a walking chest.

They say it's the same mymy-my monster, and some guys have iron and copper shells, but the most expensive unit price is platinum.

I chose this quest for several reasons.

First of all, it must be expensive among the queries that can be ordered in rank 3. You have to earn 10 million clans for now, so it's natural to aim for high rewards.

Secondly, the target habitat must be clear. If it was Raemons who didn't know if he could discover it by searching around every corner of the dungeon, he'd give up. Fighting ability and defensive ability are different.

Then, because the shell of purpose itself is heavy, it is difficult to compete because ordinary adventurers have trouble transporting it.

I have a space magic 'Shadow Space (Shadow Gate)' that boasts a good capacity, so weight won't be an issue as long as I get in. The shell seems to be about the size of a cubic meter, so that's about enough to hold it.

"The problem is that he lives in a war zone for the third tier."

"No problemo if he gets in the way!

"We can handle this."

Let's actually try and see if we're overconfident.

"All right, let's go for the third tier first, let's go."

"Oooh!

"Ooh."

Come on, it's the beginning of our first job.

and although it is good to have intentionally entered the Great Labyrinth,

"I'm totally used to seeing the landscape around here."

The first tier of undead city also has enough scenery to even feel safe at the earliest, thanks to a long run around. If only Sariel hadn't lurked.

"Take the shortest route down to the second level."

"It would be easier if I could get there and transfer."

This Great Labyrinth can be returned with metamagic only upon return to earth.

It is a convenient system where there are multiple halls in each hierarchy stamped with giant transitional magic formations that allow you to return in an instant.

Because of the very important equipment for adventurers exploring the Great Labyrinth, they say all the transfer squares being discovered are hardened up in defense and look like a little fortress.

So, the Xanadu treasury holds most of the management of this transfer square, but some are held by three major gangs. I mean, we have to avoid where Silverian's keeping us. Perhaps you can crush him with harassment.

In the meantime, I have purchased a well specified map of the transfer square and which jurisdiction, so it should be okay.

"- Ah!"

"Hmm, now I hear screams, Death?

"Master Chrono, come on in."

With us, I'm not a leisurely wacko... but I still have to go and help if I hear a child scream in this place.

"There will be an entrance to the second tier soon. You two go first. Let's meet up there."

"Aurai!

"Be careful."

The two of us dropped me off, and I ran through an abandoned city, as usual.

"I signed up under Ash's name, so pure goodwill isn't a wack anymore."

I went out of my way to become an adventurer in Ash's name in order to hide my real name, Chrono, and my face, but at this point, I have a big intention of becoming famous.

"Black Mask Ash, the righteous hero who helps the kids! It's definitely more profitable to be popular."

and was also recommended by Oren.

As they say famous taxes, etc. can be more troublesome when a name is sold, but it is also true that there is a lot of benefit in overturning it. Above all, being famous is less lickable than being anonymous.

In this city, no one can look at you if you're grown up, there's no such thing as that. Carla Mara is the city of desire that would be shaken to the bone if it showed a gap.

So it's much safer to be famous and prestigious than to stand still to be anonymous and discreet. If you show Ash's power and become famous, you'll be able to face Oren as well.

"Pierce it." Devil's Sword (Sword Arts) "Huh!

With that kind of wax, I'm still in the kids' predicament today.

"Ash!"

"It's Ash!

"Awesome, it's real!

"This place is dangerous, so get back to the safe zone."

"Give me some dried meat!

"Cookies, please!

"In half!

"I'll give it to you, just go."

And as always, the slave children were Hungry.

- Is this the second level?

Diving the Transition Magic Formation, the landscape is changing.

From the gray ruins, the green meadows were spreading.

It is the Great Plains (Evergreen), the second tier of the Great Labyrinth.

"Is it really underground, here?"

The first tier was also quite large, but there was a sense of blockage somewhere like the underground. Pretty high, but I could see the ceiling.

But here the blue sky is spreading overhead, and the sun's sun is falling brightly. The breezy feeling of stroking your cheeks is also truly natural.

"Ancient space magic (dimension) can expand space beyond the modern era. But there are limits, so it seems that the sky and the sun are making it look good."

"Are you just recreating the environment and then deluding it with holograms or something"

If you look closely, I find this beautiful blue sky somewhere uncomfortable. This sensation is an illusory sign of light magic. Perhaps that's the secret that's recreating the natural sky.

But it is truly outrageous technology.

"In the middle of the desert, I'm convinced you can farm."

Many of the foods that support the big city of Carla Mara are import requests.

But to some extent, I am self-sufficient.

Although the overall percentage is self-sufficiency to cut it in half, if you try it as an absolute quantity, it gives you a local yield that you don't think you can take in the very desert.

The secret of its food production is the farm run on this second tier, the Great Plains (Evergreen).

More than that can be harvested in relatively safe places, or through the use of ancient site equipment available for food production. Meat and fish can also be supplied, not only in fields, but also in livestock using wide grasslands and fishing in areas that are coastal spreading across the edges.

Restaurants in the heart of the city always serve dishes with fresh ingredients, but this is where they come from.

Of course, slaves are also used in large numbers here on the farm. Kids who survive the first tier of material recovery and are older are often turned to farms over here, he said.

Safer, but the job itself will rather tighten...... Ash on the boulder, but not a wack that punches the farm into freeing slaves on its own.

"Hey, come on, Dace!

If you notice, Leki is already starting to make progress on the spacious meadow, waving at us chatting and hurrying.

I'm not a wacko coming for sightseeing, and let's just move on.

"Uh, the closest route from here to the third tier..."

In my opinion, this is my first experience with full-scale dungeon exploration. As such, it still seems unfamiliar to expand the map to determine the direction of travel.

"Dear Chrono, the route through this forest is closer because the road is bypassing, although it is closer at a straight distance"

"Oh well, I see"

Leki and Ursula are more expensive, if simply an adventurer's experience.

Speaking of which, I hear women don't like to read maps, but Ursula doesn't feel that way at all.

"Heh, roughly this way, Dace!

Looks like Leki can't do it. I don't even try to see the map.

But it showed the same direction Ursula showed whether a wild inquiry was working.

"Nevertheless, with so much greenery, you're idle longer than the first tier -"

and so on. Shortly after speaking in a picnic mood,

Wow, ooh, ooh!

"What, a wolf?

"No, this is-"

"Goblin Rider!"

From the other side of the meadow, a group of goblins emerged across the wolves.

I used to deal with green little ghosts with ugly faces, and monsters with feelings like that in manoeuvre experiments. Because of that palpable look, I called them goblins on my own, but apparently, they're usually named goblins in this other world. I guess it's just a translation result though.

The Danger Rank by Adventurer Guild is one of the lowest, but riders riding around a riding creature called a wolf become more alert opponents than regular guys.

"Gyoer!"

And the guy screaming would be the leader.

Only Soitz wears a large, polar-colored feather ornament on his head and holds a short wand (wand) in his hand. Can you use magic?

The other guy is just equipped with some short throwing spears and a leather string that seems to be a slinger for throwing stones.

Along with the cries of the leader, the goblin riders each take the zigzag track and rush from the front. I see, at first, you're wacko alerting your opponent to ranged attacks and taking evasive action.

"I'm not sweet enough to avoid just running zigzags, though -" Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts) ""

Dan! and the shooting sounds across the meadow.

The bullet that walks takes one shot. That's enough.

The demon bullets you unleash are not misdirected, but punch through the eyebrows of a prominent feather-decorated leader.

"Ahhh!?

"Gear!"

Goblins who lost their commander in the first hand and obviously panicked, but they stick straight in because they're already in the assault position.

"Ursula, do you want to clean it up in half"

"If I don't leave you one, Leki's pathetic"

Um, well, I'm jealous and I'm standing in front of you with my weapon.

"There's only one."

"Yeah."

With the wax, towards the right, I'll be the one to stop with a series of demon bullets (Barrett Arts), and on the left, Ursula's "White Night Fork Princess (Anastasia)" will disappear.

Luckily, the goblin rider rushing through the middle was undoubtedly cut off by the leeches. Every wolf. You didn't use a big weapon on Dada.

"Was that a sign of the crusade? Do you want to collect it?

"Miscellaneous fish like goblins can only be a bundle of three sentences. We're wasting more time collecting them."

Is that true? Here's the target amount of 10 million. I wouldn't fit for it if I'd spent an hour cutting and collecting goblin ears that didn't even have a thousand clans a piece.

Plus, this primitive level of crude equipment. I just caught it, and it's suspicious if I have a piece of copper coin.

If this were an emergency where villages and towns might be attacked, the price of the crusade would go up.

"What about that wand?

"Garbage"

Then recover it with a paddle.

So we just scattered a dozen goblin rider bodies, and we went down the meadow.

"- I knew there was only a dungeon. I got more tangled up than I thought."

Somehow, by the time I reached the square of the Transition Magic Formation that leads to the third tier, it counted quite a few times.

There are more monsters living in this second tier than subhuman monsters like goblins, guys with systems like flora and fauna. Far more capable of perceiving prey than noronoro and walking around zombies.

Thus, if the monster aggressively strikes me, I see, the danger will be higher than in the first tier.

"But he came along fine."

"Time is on schedule, Death."

Although the monsters would come by, they were largely to the point of letting them chase away if shot properly. It is a clever wild instinct to retreat as soon as you feel threatened.

However, botanical monsters like Trent and buckets of eating plants don't have running legs, so there's nothing better than knocking them out once they're caught.

In the woods ahead through the meadows, plant-based mons lurked like booby traps, awaiting the arrival of their prey. Fortunately, he's just no big deal up to Danger Rank 2, so I figured it out.

"Then we're going down to the third tier. This is where it comes from."

The Great Labyrinth is five floors in all. The adventurer rank is also five levels, so the hierarchy is set to be the aptitude rank as it is.

We are rank three, so the third tier is aptitude.

I feel like I can even go on the fourth tier if I work hard... but I forbid I can't do it from the start.

"Well, let's go"

If you dive through the glowing transition magic formations that are constantly activated - again, the landscape is a mess.

From lush natural scenery to a world of iron where black smoke smokes.

The Third Hierarchy of the Great Labyrinth 'Industrial Zone (Factoria)'.

"I don't like the air here"

The sky that looked up was a cloudy sky of black smoke drifting over. There is thin steam on the ground.

The industrial district, as the name suggests, is a landscape with high smoke-spitting chimneys, factory-like buildings in disorder.

You can never bring Lillian in here like this.

"A bit like Adamantria, Death"

"I miss life back then."

Sure, is it Dwarf country?

Routely, I think I went through the past too, but at any rate, I don't recall any shards.

Now it is more a quest than a lost memory.

The top priority is Platinum Mai Mai, which lives here.

However, the group of plants, which will obviously be ancient production facilities, will still be in operation today, as you can see, and goods of value will be available from here.

Typical are ingots of rare metals, such as pure gold, holy silver (misril), dark matter (dark matter) and divine iron (orihalcon). Though it seems to be used as some kind of material made in this factory, golems and the like with this may also appear.

In addition to the snail platinum shell, if you can get these, you can get close to your target amount at once.

Even if you don't, if you can get a lot of other worthwhile stuff, you're good.

For that matter, there are powerful monsters.

"Come on, we're gonna make 10 million here!

"Ooh!

"Ooh."

Re-enthusiastic, we quickly set out to explore a third tier scented with iron and oil.
