Legend

"Well, I don't care about Gosh." Can Eugen stay here forever? Weren't you going towards the lake? "

"That's right!... would you like to come with me, too, Ray?" It seems that the black circle captured by the prison of fire is getting pretty weak. "

"... is that so?"

Ray knew that it was weakening.

But still, I think I'm still a little bit alive... for Ray, it's really something, but I thought so.

However, what Eugen is saying is that the black sphere is actually weakening.

“Yeah, that's what I was told, so I was just about to check in.”

For that reason, there was an exchange with Gosh.

"Gu... that's... anyway, I want Ray to come too." If this really wipes out the black sphere, it's a big deal. "

It was Eugen who said it was deceptive, but the scene that actually disappeared was the first time Ray had seen it, so he couldn't miss it.

Until now, Ray had defeated a number of birds, but that was a way to destroy them.

That is why, when they were defeated, they were already burned up to charcoal and ashes, and there was nothing left.

What happens when I die of starvation or run out of energy?

As for Ray, who had a lot of opportunities to fight the battle, it was better to have a little more information.

"Okay, let's go."... but is it just Eugen anyway? What happened to the aides and the guards? "

"The assistant remains if the dice and the sphere are mixed." The guards are working with the other guards to find out if there's anything wrong with the area. ”

That was a bit of a surprise to Ray.

As for the assistant, I think it would be better for the escort to be on Eugene's side.

In the first place, it is the adventurers who are entrusted with guarding the birthplace.

... Actually, there were other lizardmen who acted alongside the adventurers.

Are you working with the adventurers in the camp?

“I don't know how long I'll be here, but it's likely to be for quite a long time. Then you should have a friendly relationship with the adventurers in the camp."

"You think about that, don't you?" I thought it was more research. "

"For once, as a leader of the researchers in the camp, I need to think about the area."

When he said that, Ray had no choice but to convince himself.

In fact, the problem is that the relationship between the researchers' guards and camp adventurers is definitely better to be friendly than dangerous.

Walking like that, you will eventually reach the lake.

Grrrrr?

It was Set who had been coming with Ray all his life, but I wonder if I can play with Ray now that I've seen the lake. and snarls his throat and asks.

Ray nodded to Set and slapped lightly.

"I'm observing the moon, so please play with Set as you like in the lake." Don't go too far. "

Grrrrrrrrrr!

Ray throated happily, and Set ran toward the lake.

When Ray saw off such a set, he looked next to him and saw no one there.

In time, Eugen was on his way to a place where there was a hell of a fire.

I was trying to chase Eugen like that.....

(Hmm?)

Rather than murderous... I felt a malicious gaze and looked at you.

Then there were a few guards.

After thinking a little bit about who it was, Ray immediately remembered.

An escort who has caused disturbances before.

There were a few guards who hated Ray for it, but they must be just ahead of Ray's gaze.

(That said, if you just pee, that's fine. The problem is that I can't stand it anymore and do some kind of behavior.)

If this is an adventurer in the camp, I don't think Ray would imitate anything strange during the request because they were recognized as excellent by the guild.

However, not only adventurers hired by Gilm, but also many full-time researchers are escorted by researchers.

And Ray saw that it was not the adventurer of the Gilm who was looking at hostility, but the guards who thought they were full-time guards.

(I hope it won't be a hassle.)

It didn't make sense to look at the opponent who was looking at himself with hostility anymore, and Ray headed towards the hell of the flames.

Then, it seemed that Ray's attitude didn't even have to be against them, and the hostile gaze towards Ray became stronger.

However, even if the guards who are staring at themselves try to imitate something strange, it is not difficult to deal with it if it is Ray.

Ray approached the location of the fire pit, but the researchers don't seem to be clearing the space.

The black circular sphere captured in the prison of fire... it's also concentrated on the black circular sphere that has become so small that it's not strange to die at any time.

Many assistants bowed their heads to Ray in place of the researchers.

What did you say to the researchers here?

Research is more important than Ray.

In a sense, he was definitely a researcher.

That said, Ray couldn't help but look at the hell.

Eugen came all the way here from another prison of fire, so Ray couldn't have missed it.

I pushed the researchers away and arrived in front of the fire.

Strangely enough, even Ray had a lot of trouble getting rid of the researchers.

Originally, researchers are not so strong mentally, but physically.

Since some people go out for research, others have a body that is well trained... but Ray doesn't struggle.

That's why Ray struggled because the researchers were so focused on Flame Prison.

With some difficulty, Ray arrived next to Eugene.....

"This is... again..."

The three black circular spheres in the prison of fire were obviously smaller than they were when I saw them before... that's why if they were to get smaller at this rate, it wouldn't seem strange to disappear at all.

“Eugen, how soon do you think this will go away?”

……

It was Ray who asked for Eugene next door, but nothing came back from Eugene.

With that in mind, it was Ray who looked at Eugene, but Eugene looked at the black circle in the prison of fire and seemed to be thinking about something.

I was too focused on my thoughts, and I didn't hear Ray's voice, or I was just passing through.

Ray thought about what to do with Eugen, but given that this idea of Eugen may bring great progress to his research, he can't say anything about it.

(I hope this really shows something.... I wonder what would happen if I used the Dwight's Knife to make a mess.... no. They said it would only work on corpses in the first place.)

If you pierce a monster's corpse, the corpse is disassembled into a material by the magic power it contains.

However, it is still alive.

... before that, as long as I didn't leave any magic stones behind, I wasn't exactly a monster.

For the sake of convenience, although Ray was treating it as a monster, he understood it well.

Beyond that, I didn't think that using a Dwight's knife on a corpse would be a material.

Rather than a corpse, if I used a Dwight's knife on a living corpse, the dark green blade of the Dwight's knife could become black dust and be absorbed.

If that happens, the Duskers will give me... I could lose a lot of luxury Dwight knives.

As for Ray, I definitely wanted to avoid it.

(For now, you don't have to use a Dwight knife.)

At the same time, he decided that there was no answer even if he spoke to Eugen, and Ray looked at the prison of fire in front of him.

Looking at the black circle in the fire pit, I don't think I know what it is.

But maybe you shouldn't look at it, and maybe... maybe you can find something that's really going to be the key.

It's so small.

Ray murmured again.

The black sphere is already quite small.

That's why it's not strange that it should disappear completely at any time.

(If you destroy this hellfire, what will happen?...... maybe the rainbow will vigorously move around again and absorb the touched existence as black dust)

It absorbs black dust and maintains its own existence.

Ray predicts that, but he doesn't know if it's actually the right answer.

If you don't give it a try, there's nothing you can do.

(Even if I were to try it, it wouldn't be this prison of fire, but another one. First of all, we need to try it out to see if it really starves to death.)

Ray was looking at the hellfire while thinking like that, but he was just moving around in the hellfire as usual.

Compared to before, I didn't feel that I was feeling a little less energetic, but there was also a feeling that it might be because of my imagination.

The five senses are definitely sharp, but that's definitely not the case.

There was a good possibility that it would be mistaken due to assumptions or misunderstandings.

"Eugene, I'm just going to leave."

Even if I stay here forever, it won't help me.

Then Ray calls out to Eugene that he'd better give the researchers a place.

However, as usual, Eugen hadn't heard Ray's words.

Instead, Eugen's assistant lowered his head towards Ray.

Ray nodded to the assistant and left the scene.

Just because he got away from the fire pit doesn't mean that Ray wants to go.

That's where Set is playing in the lake.

Grrrrrr?

What's the matter with you? and Setrei snorted as he approached.

If it was Set, he would have wondered if Ray had come to him from the depths of the flames.

But that doesn't mean I don't like it.

If it's a set that Ray loves, you're welcome to play with him.

Still, Ray's strange throat thumped because Ray was investigating all sorts of things.

Ray can somehow understand what Set thought and snorted.

For this reason, I opened my mouth while stroking Set.

"The pigeon I captured in the prison of fire was definitely getting smaller, but the place was a bit small." A lot of researchers want to observe it, but I'm not a researcher, so I thought I'd see it. "

But isn't there something Ray can tell you because he's not a researcher?

Nielsen?

It wasn't Set who answered Ray's question, it was Nielsen.

It was supposed to be sheltered in the trunk of a tree, but it seemed to have come to Ray's side sometime.

"Can I come out here?"

"It's okay. The researchers seem to be obsessed." Besides, the newly arrived researchers are arguing among their peers. "

I don't know.

I thought maybe because the Gosh told me I couldn't make up my own mind.

Gosh seems to be the backbone of the researchers remaining in the Gilm, but he is not as powerful as Eugen.

(No, naturally?)

Among the researchers, those who did not like sleeping in the campsite... Of course, there are various reasons for their actions, but from Ray's perspective, it seems that they placed more importance on their comfortable living than on their own research.

It is not strange to say that life is the first priority for such people.

Whether or not the Gosh could put together such an opponent, Ray and I didn't know.

What if Gosh can't do it, but Eugen?

I didn't think so either, but there is also a reason why people sleeping in the camp are gathered together because they are stronger as researchers.

"So? Nielsen, are you here because you're ready?"

"Gu... that's..."

"I don't think it looks that way yet." I think we should make a decision sooner rather than later. "

"I-I know. But... there's a lot of things I think about!"

Nielsen yelled at Ray with a subtle gaze, and Set snorted to comfort her.
