Legend

"Right here."

Roger brought Ray and the others to a building.

It's not a house, it's a small lab or something.

"Where are we?

"It's my building. Don't worry, no one else will come in.... Seto can't get in."

I guess so.

It's not a big building, it's a small building, so you can't enter Seto.

Ray thinks that if it weren't such a big building, Seth wouldn't get in.

Even if it is forced into the set, if it is more than 3 m long, it will destroy the surroundings at the time of the circumvention.

Resizing can shrink to about 70 cm, but resizing skills are not always effective.

Given the circumstances around here, Seto had better wait a long time.

That way, Seto can stretch as well, and it's definitely easier.

Well then, Seto. Just give me a second. "

"Gru"

In Ray's words, Seth rang his throat, saying that he understood, and then lay down in an undisturbed place.

After confirming that, Ray, Roger and the escort adventurers enter the building.

The adventurers who yearned for Ray wanted to hear a lot from Ray before coming here, and Ray arrived here talking to the adventurers rather than talking to Roger.

(How many adventurers look at respect and admiration from older people... to be honest, I have a little bit of an idea.)

The adventurers are all relatively young in their twenties.

Maybe that's why you can honestly look at Ray younger than you.

However, many people in their twenties have been working as adventurers for quite some time.

Normally, it would be difficult to look at younger Ray with such admiration and respect... but he would still have such an honest personality as to look at him this way.

"Come in. This way."

Roger leads you into the building.

It's a private building, Roger says, and there's no sign of anyone else in the building.

It's purely Roger's building.

(Home? Or the second house. Anyway, it's definitely Roger's hideout.)

This building is a little off the street.

It's not as insecure as the back street, but many people will tilt their necks if they are told that they can walk as safely as the front street.

Roger would stand up as an alchemist, but Ray would shake his head instantly if he were told he could fight in action.

I don't know if it's a normal house or a second house in a place like this, but I have a building.

It was enough to convince Ray that he needed an escort.

"In the meantime, drink this. It was hot outside."

So Roger puts the glass in front of Ray and the adventurers.

Ray was a little surprised when he touched the glass... the adventurers were more openly surprised.

"It's cold!

That's the voice of the Adventurer.

It is fruit water chilled with a magic item with refrigerator performance Ray has seen several times before.

Ray wasn't so surprised because he knew about it.

Ning, I doubt that the escort adventurers are so surprised.

The abundance of unusual materials means that Gilm has many alchemists and sells a variety of magic items.

Either way, if this is a normal city, Exinis is a thriving city in the Golem industry.

Naturally, there are many alchemists, and magic items are quite abundant compared to other places.

Given that, it was surprising that I would be so surprised to drink such cold fruit water.

"Maybe you're new adventurers to Egginis?

"Huh? Ah, yes. I see. I came here a few days ago as a merchant escort, but I was told I'd be free until the deal was over and I left Egginis."

So I got Roger's request because I was free. Keep going.

The short period of time before the original escort returned may also be influenced by the reason for the request.

I see. Then it's no wonder you're not used to magic items like this. "

"Ning, as far as I'm concerned, I wonder why Ray is so flat. Does Gilm still have magic items like this?

"Oh, it's not exactly the same, but in summer, there's a stall that sells cold fruit water, cold fruit, and so on. Of course, it's used quite a bit in hotels and stuff."

"Gilm... I'm sure it's interesting. Anyway, could you show me the materials?

Yes, prompted by Roger, Ray wonders what materials to release... and retrieves the largest number of Oaknaga bodies in the Devil's Forest.

Many of the bodies were dismantled at the Laurie demolition shop, but many have not yet been dismantled.

Place Oaknaga's body on the floor to show that it is the body of this monster.

"This is Oaknaga.... a monster in the Magic Forest, not in the monster atlas I use, so I think it's probably a new species. I'm not very familiar with the area, so maybe it's a monster that's been found somewhere."

"Hmm... Oaknaga. It's a good name for what it looks like. So this monster is strong?

"It's basically a group action monster. However, everyone can use magic."

There are quite a few monsters that use magic.

That's why even the weakest of the monsters, the most famous goblins, such as the top species and rare species, usually use magic.

However, this is not a goblin, but a monster in the Devil's Forest.

Naturally, they have the strength they deserve, and it will be difficult for ordinary adventurers to deal with the magic unleashed by a group.

After explaining the area, Roger sees Oaknaga's body intriguing.

Ray puts such an Oaknaga body back in the mystery ring... and Roger sees it and opens his mouth with dissatisfaction.

"Would you mind showing me a little more slowly?

"Sorry, it's this season with the body intact. I don't really want to let it out."

Roger's private building makes the house air-conditioned.

If you think about it, you may want to leave the body out quite a bit, but if you still want to keep it from decaying at all, you should keep it in the mistilling as soon as possible.

"Instead, this way. Someone who dismantled it like it could be used as a material."

Instead of the body, Ray released a number of Oaknaga materials and thought parts that were demolished at the Laurie demolition shop.

"Is this the material of Oaknaga?"

Only materials such as Oaknaga's guts look pretty creepy.

But here are the alchemists and the adventurers.

Alchemists use monster materials on a daily basis, and adventurers dismantle monsters.

That's why suddenly the Oaknaga material was placed in front of me, but I didn't really care about it.

"Oh, but this is just material. Roger needs to think about how to use this for the Golem.... or, for now, can you use these monsters' guts or something like that for the Golem?

The Golems Ray knows are stone, sand, mud, wood, metal... and many others, but they're basically inorganic.

... there were games, animations, cartoons, etc. that I enjoyed as a hobby when I was in Japan, such as turning a corpse into a golem material, but I don't see such a golem in this world.

Not to mention the fact that this egginis is a place where the Golem industry thrives… that is, where there are many people who profit from selling the Golem.

In such a place, it is only a suicide act to imitate using a corpse to create a golem.

Even in this world with lower ethical values than Japan, no one would normally want a golem made of corpses, and above all, no one would want to see such a golem.

"I can use it without any problems. I can use it... but I can't help it if I don't know what effect these materials have on me."

How's it going around here? Roger turns to Ray.

For Roger, he was already expecting what effect this material would have and what performance it could be used as part of a golem....

"I don't know."

"What about it?"

The words that came out of Ray's mouth were completely unexpected.

Roger talks to the escort adventurers as if they were missing between them.

"That's why this Oaknaga is a new kind of monster. At least it's the first monster I've seen in Gilmore. You have no idea how to use such monster materials."

Certainly.

The escort adventurers agree with Ray.

Only new monsters that are defeated for the first time will need to be investigated by the actual users as to how to use the material.

Specifically, this is Roger here.

"... you want me to look into it?

"That's how it is. Of course, there are other bodies and materials of monsters defeated around the Devil's Forest, but it doesn't matter if you give them any more than there is no information?

Gunuu

Roger moaning with remorse.

I thought Roger already knew what kind of properties he had from scratch and what kind of golem material he could use.

However, the words out of Ray's mouth are completely unexpected... and at the same time, it is a fact that you can only be convinced if you are told.

"By the way, I have no idea how to use the materials that I intend to use in the Dolan Workshop deal. If you're going to make a deal with me, you're going to start with research into how you're going to use it."

In that case, it was Ray's expectation that Roger would probably be advantageous.

The material used in the deal with Dolan Workshop is definitely that of a Rank A Monster defeated in the Magic Forest.

However, there is only one rare material called a Rank A Monster, which naturally only exists in one amount.

In contrast, Okunaga is acting in groups, and Ray is defeating them.

In other words, even if you waste some material, there are alternatives, such as the next material...

"What do we do? Because of its nature, we need to investigate, first of all, research is necessary. That would be natural, but it should take time.... but since Roger is the first to study the material, perhaps the only Roger in the world will know about the usefulness of Oaknaga's material..."

It was like an incitement in the middle of the day, but that's exactly what Ray thinks.

If we study Oaknaga's materials and Roger's Golem becomes high-performing, it's definitely Roger's handiwork, and Roger… or Roger's workshop will have exclusive control of the technology.

Many people want a Golem from Dolan Workshop today because Dolan Workshop has developed some proprietary technology that has dramatically improved Golem performance.

... but obviously it's not that easy to find something that will get you through the other workshops.

Had it been easier to do so, Golem's technology would have been higher than it is now.

In other words, whether or not researching the material of an unknown monster is the key to some new technology is also the analytical power and technology of the person who does it, but luck is involved as a bigger factor.

In that sense, whether Roger's luck is good or bad is subtle.

I was beaten up trying to find and take Seto, but it allowed me to meet Ray.

In addition, it gave him the chance to acquire the materials of an unknown monster… Overall, Ray thought he might be lucky and waited for Roger's reply.
