Legend

How are you doing?

When Ray came to the place where the Mithrill barrier was, the researchers who were looking at the black sphere on the other side of the translucent barrier noticed Ray's presence.

"Ah, Ray. For now, it doesn't seem to be any different from Ray's prison of fire... but I don't know why I'd die before it does."

One of the researchers says this to Ray, exhaling heavily.

Although other researchers did not utter words, they certainly felt the same as the researchers who spoke to Ray.

Isn't that the difference between a prison of fire and a mithril?

"I know that. But the problem is, I don't know how exactly that's going to happen, and I'm going to die faster."

It was Mithril who starved to death earlier than in the Fire Prison.

It's not hard for researchers to imagine that without Ray saying it.

But the problem is that I don't know what effect Mithril will have.

"That's... well, I can only tell you that it's Mithril." It's going to be tough to look up that area, too. "

"Yes, it's a big deal."... is there anything Ray can think of? "

I don't know who you are, but what do you want me to do about it?

Why don't you come up with something that's unique to adventurers?

The researchers look to Ray with hope.

In the eyes of the researchers, adventurers are people who act in various ways that they do not expect.

That perception is by no means wrong.

Adventurers use tools and magic items that are not meant to be used.

"Ray has a hobby of collecting magic items, right?" Well then, let's learn something from around here. "

"Even if you say that... there's something I'd like to try, but I can't even do that, can I?" Unless there are more Mithril nails. "

Ray was there when the Dusker told him to mass produce.

That said, no Mithril nails have been mass-produced yet.

There's only one thing left to do now, but I couldn't possibly do anything to influence it.

"Ugh... what did Ray try to do by the way?"

"Mithril is a magical metal that is easy to pass magic power through." In other words, it affects my magic power. then..... "

That's what Ray pulled out was a running water dagger.

If you had the right magic power, you could make a water dagger or use it as a water whip, but if Ray specialized in the attributes of fire, a little water would come out.

However, when used as drinking water, the water has a taste that should be called the sweet dew of the sky.

However, in this case, the taste is irrelevant.

When the water created by Ray's magic power was applied to the Mithril barrier, Ray was a little concerned about how it would react.

Mithril, also known as Magic Silver, and Ray's enormous magic power.

What happens when the two combine?

Looking at Ray, I'm pretty curious.

However, I couldn't do more than have one Mithril nail.

"Interesting.... Ray, you decided to use the Mithrill nail, didn't you?" It must have been made by other alchemists under the direction of Master Dusker. "

That's true. However, I don't think the alchemists who taught me how to make Mithril's nails will soon be able to make something similar.

Whether you have a blueprint or make a Mithril nail in front of another alchemist, that doesn't mean you can make the same thing right away.

Some alchemists may have talent enough to make them quickly, or they may not be suitable, so it may take more time than usual to make a Mithril nail.

The neighborhood will vary from one individual to another.

"I see.... If the Mithrill nails are mass-produced, can I try using the water made by Ray's magic power?" Perhaps the Mithril barrier will reduce the time it takes to die.... but I can't deny the possibility that I won't starve to death, contrary to what I expected. "

If you don't try it, you won't know where it is.

That's probably why the researchers were interested.

(Researchers aren't much different from alchemists around here, are they?)

Researchers and alchemists alike, what interests them is paramount.

It seemed to Ray like that.

Ray understood that not all of them were like that.

“Yeah, I would definitely try it if I had a chance to try it. What will become of it?...... I'm also interested."

In Ray's words, the researcher who was talking... no, some of the researchers who were around the Mithrill barrier seem interesting.

I see. If the Mithril barrier is mass-produced, please do.

"I don't know when that will happen."... In the meantime, I can confirm that there's nothing unusual about the Mithrill barrier, so I'll head back to the camp. It's starting to get cold and there's probably less monsters, but be careful. "

Saying that, Ray had to go back to the camp.

Well, let's do this next.

A sight I saw on my way to see Mithrill's barrier.

A heating flame created by Ray in the middle of the camp.

There were adventurers in the camp around the flame, but there were more lizardmen than that.

(If you think about it, isn't that impossible? The Lizard Man was a lizard monster. Then naturally, it's weak in the cold. There was a kindling around the birth tower, and the birth tower was appropriately warm. However, I think the flame I made is more comfortable than that.)

With that anticipation in mind, Ray got closer to the flame.

so I tried to call out to the Lizard Man.....

"Hmmm..."

Looking at the pleasant Lizard Man, who can imagine himself soaking in the hot spring and closing his eyes, is it okay for Ray to speak up? I doubt it.

Of course, there's really no need to speak up.

However, I was a little embarrassed to think that I could interrupt this happy situation in my own words.

Ray doesn't think it's funny when he talks to you when he's asleep.

If the reason for calling was some kind of emergency contact, Ray could still endure it.

However, it had nothing to do with that, and when it came to just wanting to talk... it wasn't strange to get so grumpy.

When I was wondering if I could speak up, one of the Lizard Man suddenly noticed Ray's presence.

"Ray, what's going on? What can we do for you?"

Ray opened his mouth to the lizard man, who was listening in fluent language.

"I guess I have to... there were a lot of lizardmen around this flame, so I was just wondering"

Hmm, was it intrusive?

From Ray's appearance, I thought maybe they were in the way, so they called.

Ray shook his head to the side as he asked the lizardman in a bit of trouble.

"There's nothing to disturb you, so don't worry." But... should I build this flame near the birth tower? I'll make it if I have to. "

To create this flame, a dozen ordinary wizards would need to drain their magic power to its limit.

However, in Ray's case, I could create a flame on my own... without draining my magic.

If you think of the Lizard Man, if you need a flame similar to the one you built in the camp, it wasn't particularly problematic for Ray to make it.

"I want you to ask Master Gaga." As for me, it's better, but I don't know how Gaga will judge it. "

"I see.... So, what's the gaga?"

"I'm out hunting."

Ray could have guessed what came out of Lizard Man's mouth, but is that really all right? It was something I thought it would be.

Of course, hunting was a must in the sense of securing food.

But Gaga, bigger than any other Lizard Man, is definitely harder to operate in the cold.

What would happen if Gaga went hunting in such a situation and took heavy damage without moving her body properly?

We need to imagine even the worst possibility that monsters will gather and kill Gaga...

"Is it just Gaga?" What about the guards? "

"Guard? Gaga doesn't need such a thing."...... but I don't think you need to worry, because there are a few people who are going hunting with Gaga-sama. "

Gaga doesn't need guards.

Lizardman thought that Ray could understand.

I don't mean to escort you, but if there's someone working with you, don't you have to worry about that?

Actually, Ray isn't really worried about Gaga getting killed by a monster.

However, it was only a case of dealing with common monsters.

High-ranked monsters can appear in this torrenting forest.

Is Gaga able to cope well in such a situation?

That worried Ray.

"Gaga is strong, no doubt about it, but in the forest of Trent, monsters that are stronger than Gaga can appear."

Ray's words made Lizardman seem a little unhappy.

Gaga is the most powerful of them all, for the Lizard Man who has been transferred to this world.

If you're told that there are monsters that you can't beat even that gaga, it's harder to accept them honestly.

However, since it was Ray who beat Gaga who said it, I only expressed this degree of dissatisfaction.

For Lizard Man, the strong are worthy of respect.

And Ray was definitely a strong man.

Beyond that, there was no doubt that Ray was worthy of admiration for Lizard Man.

However, for the Lizard Man, Gaga is both a strong man and a hero. Now that he has come to a different world, he can be counted on from the bottom of his heart.

That's why it's complicated when Ray denies such an opponent, even if it's a powerful person.

Unaware of the appearance of such a lizard man, Ray cut the story up.

"When Gaga comes back from the hunt, ask him about the area." If you need it, tomorrow... no, I'll put out the same flame as this one near the Tower of Nativity. "

"All right, I'll tell you as soon as Gaga gets back." I can't say for sure here, but perhaps Gaga-sama will also say that there is no problem. "

As far as I can see, that's right.

Other than the Lizard Man talking to Ray, there were several Lizard Man around the flame.

Of course, there were other adventurers besides the lizard man, as well as the guard of the researcher who was taking a break, but there were still many lizard man as a percentage.

"... heh? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Ray looked around at the red slime.

The familiar red slime is the rebirth of the Lord of the Lake on the side of the camp, or the child.

When I was the lake master, I was hostile to Ray and the others, but now the red slime was as friendly as a water wolf.

Even so, it was a surprise to Ray that he would leave the lake and come this far.

It's quite unusual for a monster in a lake to leave the lake, but that doesn't mean it isn't.

In fact, water wolves hunt together in the Trent Forest with friendly adventurers.

However, the expression "water wolf is an adult..." is strange, but it's because it's not a child anyway.

Compared to such a water wolf, the red slime is real, and it hasn't been so long since I was born.

However, since he came to the camp away from the lake on his own, it was impossible for Ray to be surprised to see it.

(Well, aren't the others aware of the red slime?...... Anyway, what about the Lizard Man?)

Ray was surprised to see the red slime here, but he had such a question the next time.

Anyway, the Lizard Man was not surprised that the adventurers and researchers' escorts noticed the red slime.

I thought Ray didn't care if he noticed it, but I quickly realized it was different... Then why? and questioned it.
