Legend

The information Jane gave me was... something Ray and Lindy could never miss, and it was enough to question.

"Is there an altar somewhere in this basement?... what do you use it for, that altar? "

"I don't know. I just thought it might be important because the alchemist who came to me said it was a secret to keep."

Ray thought Jane was telling the right lie for a moment, but if she had a Death Size blade stuck to her neck and made a bad fool of herself, it was more likely that her neck would be cut off from her torso, she wouldn't be able to say such a thing in such a situation.

You're saving your life, but if you tell the right lie here, you'll never know what you'll be like when you find out later.

That's why I don't think Jane is lying even to Ray.I don't think so....

(Altar? An altar is someone who dedicates something or uses it for that, right?)

To be precise, it may be different, but as Ray, who never likes the existence of religion, is only that level of recognition.

Not to mention, in this world, I often encounter a religious group called Holy Light... I have a very unpleasant feeling about that.

(Perhaps the Holy Light Church is actually involved in this matter, or something like that?)

The existence of Holy Light is a very troublesome opponent for Ray.

The fanatics who worship the holy light.

If you want to penetrate our beliefs, you can imitate whatever you want.

I didn't want to encounter it here if I could, and I wanted my expectations to be off track.

But... but given the current situation where the word altar came out, I couldn't deny it as a possibility.

However, I didn't think so either, just because the word "altar" came out, it would be possible to push all religious relations to the Holy Light.

"The altar. … Whatever the alchemist is thinking about, it's going to be a mess."

"Well, what do you think? My information was useful, wasn't it?Then I'd be happy if you could take this scythe blade off my neck. "

Jane says that to Ray with fear.

What about Ray, who's begging you to look at her with a flattering eye?Turn your gaze towards Lindy.

Jane and Lindy looked familiar - although the relationship never seemed to be good - and decided that they should ask Lindy what to do.

Lindy nodded in disappointment to Ray.

If you think of Lindy, it's not that Jane hates you a little, but still in the current situation, Dolan Workshop information is more necessary than what you hate.

In that sense, the altar that came out of Jane's mouth is not bad information.

The problem is the question of which room the altar is in the basement... and above all, I don't know what the altar is for.

Anyway, just knowing that there is such a place is definitely of great significance.

"Okay."

As Lindy watches, Ray releases the Death size blade that was poking at Jane's neck.

Jane feels relieved that the cold feeling she was touching her neck is gone.

You're trying to attack or run away with a Death Size blade away as a chance?I thought it was Ray, but fortunately, it doesn't look like that.

Have you decided that you will be killed if you try to escape here, or are you relieved that you were saved if you simply think of the current situation, and you can't think of anything like that?

Ray didn't know where it was, but he was lucky it didn't take much trouble.

"Then sleep in the end."

Mumble, put a knife in her neck and lose Jane's consciousness.

Jane fainted and fell to the floor without even knowing what she had done.

"Tie it up like those guys back there... no, I'll take it to the room where the papers were."

"Huh? Even if you do that, you'll get out right away."

Ilnara murmured at Ray's words with a strange look.

Nevertheless, I think about it as far as Ray is concerned.

"Don't worry, I'll put the weight on the door leading to the basement.... fortunately, it's a useless weight. "

Seeing Ray with confidence, if Ray says so, tie the stunned adventurers to a rope and keep them immobile, then transport them to the basement.

That's how it was placed on the door... an axe hidden in an Ajito, the bandit Ray defeated in a mountain near Egginis.

When I went to Slam City on a snowstorm incident, I got tangled up… I gave a lot of axes in exchange for information from the person I was trying to tangle with, but there were still a lot of axes in Misty again.

In addition to axes, there are quite a few iron ingots from the same bandits, but there are many uses for these iron ingots if you want to use them.

There is also a means to sell to merchants, and it is in a certain shape, unlike an axe, so it is also convenient for throwing.

There were also uses such as throwing iron into a fire whirlwind Ray was good at, melting it with heat, or simply hitting an iron ingot against an opponent in a fire whirlwind.

However, if you say that, the axe wasn't used that much, so if you wanted to sell it, you would have sold it, and it's not so bad as a disposable weapon rather than a pickup.

Still, it is correct to say that I put several axes on the door because I somehow thought it would be better.

"This is...."

Ilnara murmured at the sight in front of her.

No, Ilnara was the only one who spoke, but the other alchemists and Lindy were more surprised at the sight in front of them.

"In the meantime, you won't be able to come out that easily.We've got some kind of hidden weapon. "

Some adventurers had daggers and long needles as spare weapons.

Such weapons are taken away and stored in Ray's mystery ring.

Though I thought for a moment, the dagger, the long needle and the axe were naturally more expensive, so I should have called them exactly the opposite.

Of course, if it is a dagger made by a skilled blacksmith, it is not strange that it is more expensive than a bad weapon, but the weapon that Ray stole is a regular dagger and a long needle from anywhere, and it is not a very good product, but a substitute that cannot be called.

"Now that we've defeated the two guards, we may be sending in a new force worried they won't come back.In order not to do so, we need to check out the other basements.Lindy, did you decide where to look next? "

Ray prompted Lindy to point to the basement of the room opposite the room where the documents were located.

After all, I don't know where Anne and I are, but as Lindy, I can only guess which room to choose.

Guess... it wasn't just a guess, it was the room Lindy chose for a woman's guess.

As far as Ray and Ilnara are concerned, it doesn't matter which room Lindy chooses here, especially as it doesn't matter where she chooses.

(Maybe we should split up... but it'll be difficult.)

Lindy is one of the adventurers in Egginis.

But naturally, some have more strength than that.

If it wasn't Lindy who was working with Ray here, but Elena, Marina, Vihera and so on... or not the three of them, if it had the strength of Ara, it would have been something else.

But Lindy is only Lindy.

In addition, problems arise such as what to do with the alchemists if you take another action.

Although it is not impossible to protect other alchemists, including Ilnara, by Ray alone, it is rather cumbersome.

However, given Lindy's strengths, it is difficult to leave it to you.

This is true of Lindy's abilities, but if you want to fight with yourself and your party buddies more than that, it is because you will not be able to demonstrate your abilities when fighting while sheltering the objects to be protected.

It was only natural that Ray and Lindy would split up into three alchemists, one by one, to explore the basement.

It is not strange to have a room with just the paperwork, as mentioned earlier, but in some cases there is some kind of trap or even someone - or Golem - who is entrusted with the escort.

(Especially if the altar is a meaningful place, it should certainly be an important place.That way, there will be no doubt about setting up a trap or having a guard)

After all, we have to move around in one piece.

With that in mind, Ray leads Lindy and Ilnara to the next basement.

And there it was.....

"This is... the nucleus of the Golem..."

Ray is convinced by Ilnara's vague words.

Because I remember seeing its nucleus in battle with the Golems made by Ilnara and the others, but....

"This is just the number of nuclei. That's a lot of stuff."

A basement several times the size of the room where the paperwork was placed, even if Ray wasn't as big as the room where Golem fought.

There were many shelves there, all of which were the nuclei of the Golem.

Of course, not everything is the same size when it comes to the nucleus of the golem.

They range from large to small, or they vary in shape somewhat from individual to individual.

A few hundred... or a thousand... maybe more Golem nuclei were here.

"Hmm, why are there so many Golem nuclei!The core of the Golem is high!?It's hard to get close when we make golem! "

The female alchemist shouted with rage.

I was thinking of telling Ray not to scream here, but I know that the alchemist is dissatisfied, even if not completely, and since the door is closed here in the basement, I decided that it would not be heard outside in a somewhat noisy place, and there was no imitation to stop it.

(Golem's nucleus is still expensive.Monsters are also generally the most expensive, isn't that strange to think about?)

Even if you're convinced, Ray can't decide what to do with this core.

Ray talks to Ilnara next to Lindy, shocked by her choice of a different basement than Anne's.

"Hey, Ilnara, I took the paperwork from you in your room as evidence of your illegal activities, but can I have this core?"

"That's...."

Ray, this nucleus is not absolutely necessary.

But if there's a mystery, we can keep it for now.

It could be used for something in the future, or it could be sold to the worst alchemist.

Or think of Gilmore's Alchemist... and decide that Egginis' Alchemist should stop selling to Gilmore's Alchemist.

"That's... um, don't bother even saying that."

Ilnara, the Golem core here is something we can't use ourselves and only mainstream, but it's still from the Dolan Workshop.

I didn't disagree with Ray's possession because the documents could be destroyed in case of trouble, but I can't honestly nod if he asks me if I can do it even to the core of Golem here.

I don't know if this is the core of a regular golem, but honestly, I can't say it is.

Because there was a nucleus in the basement to hide it.

"Ilnara, if we leave the Golem nucleus here, it could be used for something dark behind."

"But... the core of the Golem we're using was given to us by the mainstream.In other words, the core of the Golem here is likely to be something that we can use. "

"... you're hiding it in the basement like this?"

"Golem's core is expensive, so there's nothing we can do about it."

After accepting Ilnara's suggestion, Ray compromised by appropriately storing about ten of the Golem's nuclei here in the mystery ring and then handing them over to Roger for investigation.
