Legend

About the giant wolf... No, exactly when we talk about dismantling the monster, Ray stores the giant wolf in his mistilling.

It is summer, not winter.

There are magic items in this warehouse that adjust the temperature and they don't rot so easily, but if you think about it, you should keep them in a mistilling that doesn't run out of time.

"Okay, next. This is tentatively called the queen bee. But to be honest, I think it's subtle whether this queen bee deserves to be a Rank A monster."

That's why Ray takes the queen bee out of the mystery ring.

Then, the working bee that followed the queen bee was also taken out to supplement the explanation.

Oh.

Not as much as a giant wolf, but the impact from the Queen Bee's corpse seems to have been enormous.

Still small in comparison to giant wolves, the Guild staff quickly return to me to discuss how to dismantle it.

Looking at the Alliance employees, is Ray still not a Rank A monster? I think so.

"Hey, just for the record... do you think the Guild staff would recognize this as a Rank A monster?

One of them nods immediately when he asks the guild staff who are talking about the order of dismantling.

"That's right. There are quite a few bee-type monsters, but basically, individuals are not very effective. Oh, of course, it's a comparison to other Rank A monsters, but it's as strong as it should be if you simply look at it as a monster. Instead, the bee Ray sent out... it's troublesome to follow a large number of such bees. It feels like fighting in a herd, not in pieces."

Ray is convinced by the Alliance staff's words.

In fact, it was because of Ray and Seto that we were able to defeat working bees as usual, but it's not strange that a low-ranking adventurer could be killed by a working bee.

"I see. By the way, is this queen bee an unknown monster?

"I can't tell you for sure without checking it out, but it's probably an unknown monster."

"I see. Anyway, the queen bee is fine. Let's go next."

Ah...

Ray's words prompted the Guild staff to wait.

Even if you're an Alliance employee, there aren't many opportunities to see Rank A monsters.

That's why I think it would be more solid if I could do it this time.....

"There are still other Rank A monsters Ray brings. That being the case, you shouldn't waste your time here.... Ray, I need the next monster."

According to the workers, the guild officials were also reluctant, but they followed suit.

Originally, it wasn't an attitude toward Alliance Masters, but it would prove that Rank A monsters are so rare.

"Nevertheless, the next monster... I find it a little difficult to dismantle. It's a dark world tree."

That's how Ray removes the Dark World Tree from his mistilling.

Mid... no, the Guild staff are surprised to see that giant tree with more than half of it turned into charcoal and ash.

(Ah... no, I got in safely, okay?)

Perhaps the Dark World Tree would not have been able to enter the warehouse if it had not burned to ash or charcoal in the middle of the year.

Well, that's what I thought, but fortunately, if it was a dark world tree now, there was no problem, so I decided not to push into it as Ray.

"This is a dark world tree. This way...."

So Ray takes out the ashes and magic stones of the vampire.

"This vampire is a botanical monster that grew up in the Magic Forest. In the case of a dark world tree, when it is dismantled, it is enough to cut the tree, right? There's no place for vampires to dismantle."

"That's... well, yeah. But the ashes of vampires are quite what the Alchemists want as materials, were they your dark world trees? It could also be used for weapons such as canes and sticks, and even if it bears the name of a world tree, it should be a first-class material."

"The world tree is the world tree of darkness.

Ray knows exactly what kind of monster the Dark World Tree was.

It's like summoning other monsters and killing them and turning them into live birds.

Even if I made something out of this dark world tree, I wonder if it's cursed.

However, there are many monster materials that are as suspicious as the Dark World Tree.

Even with such a material, it is normally used, so there is a strong side that Ray cares too much about.

"Maybe that's okay. Alchemists will do something about it."

"... I see."

Not all the Alchemists in Gilm are like that, but the Alchemists Ray knows… Specifically, considering the Alchemists who are applying magic treatments to the trees felled in the Trent Forest, I can see that they are happy to study the dark world trees and other materials, even if they are likely to be cursed.

"That's why I'll handle the dark world tree."

Ray nods to the guild staff, puts together the dark world trees and vampire bodies, ash, charcoal, magic stones, and then opens his mouth.

"This is the last time. A Rank A monster who fought in the Forest of the Devil... or not, a monster who doesn't know in a slightly different way than the Queen Bee. This is a purely powerful aspect, it's more than rank B, but it doesn't reach rank A."

So Ray takes the chimera out of the mystery ring.

It has a giant body about three meters tall, and its face is as if it were a dog.

And from the waist, the tail... instead of the snake, there's a monster like that.

"In the meantime, it's called chimera, but it's a tentative name."

"Hmm... this is also unusual. Does anybody know?

One of the guild members looks at the chimera and asks a colleague, but everyone shakes their necks against the words.

"I don't think it's a Wolf or a monster of your kind, but even if it's a Wolf or a Wordog, it won't have this much. And above all, the difference is that the tail is a snake, not a dog."

Everyone else agrees with the guild official who said that.

At least, none of the Alliance staff here have ever seen such a monster.

... though, the guild staff don't have that much color of surprise.

With the monsters Ray brought out so far, I'm sure he's already used to the surprises around here.

Regardless of whether or not it is correct as an Alliance employee, it should be correct in the sense of dismantling the monster Ray brought.

(Besides being a Rank A monster or a Crystal Dragon... there are quite a few monsters below Rank B)

Now I have some monsters related to the promotion exam, but Ray's mystery contains a good number of other monster carcasses.

Of course, Ray would have asked the Alliance to dismantle those monsters.

(Especially cows, oak nagars... literally a delicious monster, not my crude demolition technique, but someone with proper technique.)

The taste of meat changes depending on how it is dismantled.

However, the problem was that if it was more poorly dismantled, the amount of meat that could be eaten would be less.

Also, if you are not good at dismantling, it affects the shape of the cut meat.

And influencing the shape of the meat also affects the texture of the meat when eaten.

Of course, if you imitate a meat that doesn't have a good shape, there won't be any difference in texture... but there is a problem that there will be fewer parts to eat.

I wonder if the cut place should be ground meat and used for another dish.

"This chimera, but the hairs that grow from the body are pretty hard. When dismantling, I think you should be careful around it."

"Mm... this is certainly troublesome."

The guild clerk, who heard Ray's words, touched his hair and frowned on its hardness.

Chimera is already dead, but it doesn't seem to make it easier or softer for her to lose her hair.

But dismantling this chimera took a lot of work... and that's why we needed to have special tools like Ray's Mithuline Knife.

In terms of sturdy hair, so was Ray's first giant wolf, but this chimera has a higher defense.

In that sense, the Alliance staff seemed to have enough abilities to call it a Rank A Monster.

"Still, it's not that big from this state, so when you dismantle it... that's right. How appropriate is the queen bee?

I see. The tools aren't the usual ones, we need to use special tools, but that's good. "

Alliance employees speak with serious expressions.

Initially, you wanted to see the Crystal Dragon of the Rank S Monster early, but there is a body of the Rank A Monster in front of you, and if you dismantle it... it will naturally focus on you.

There must be some craftsmanship around here.

"Vampires only have ash, so they don't need to be dismantled. The trees of the dark world need to be removed from the place where they become charcoal, but it is still not so difficult to cut them apart. So... in turn, the world of darkness tree, queen bee, chimera, giant wolf...?

Everyone nods to the voice of a 50-year-old leader among the guild staff.

And when it's settled... everyone looks at Ray in unison.

That's why Ray's gaze at the guild staff was so full of moves that he wanted to say that he had practiced, and Ray retreated to silence a few steps later.

Ray fought the Crystal Dragon without retreating.

It's easy to see how powerful the Alliance staff's gaze is, because Ray is so retreating.

"No, what?

"Ray, don't take it personally. We've been through a lot about Rank A monsters. I'm not sure yet, but I'm pretty sure that Ray's monster... is definitely a Rank A monster for both queen bees and chimeras."

"Oh, wow. If you say so, I'll be saved."

Ray echoes the words of the guild clerk's leader.

Alliance employees are roughly divided into those hired as Alliance employees from the beginning, such as Lenora and Kenny, and former adventurers hired by the Alliance to become Alliance employees.

Some people actually bring a letter of referral from a famous opponent, but it's really only a few.

In that sense, the guild staff talking to Ray definitely went up as adventurers... and I was convinced that they were not low-ranked but high-ranked adventurers.

"Am I right? Then we did our job well. That being said, next time Ray is doing his job... maybe it's a little different. Anyway, why don't you show me what you promised?

Of course Ray understands what the guild clerk is saying.

However, it was unexpected to Ray that he would still be eating Crystal Dragons that far.

"Ah... yeah. Okay, no problem. You've done your job well, so let me respond to it. Besides, crystal dragons are also monsters defeated in this promotion exam, and this will be part of your job for you."

Some of the Alliance employees have a smelly look at Ray's words.

I guess that's how happy I am to be recognized for my work.

Not to mention Ray is a famous adventurer in many ways.

And since Ray, who became a Rank A Adventurer in this promotion exam, recognized his work, it was impossible to be happy about it.

Is that the same with the leader guy, or does he smile a little bit at Ray's words?

The workers were watching the guild staff a little further away.

"All right, let's go. A crystal dragon."

That's why Ray stores Chimera before releasing a Crystal Dragon from a Rank S Monster.
