Legend

Adventurers recruit wild parties who were in what could be considered a square before entering the dungeon. It was not Elaine, a party member of Ray, but a voice I could not remember hearing at all, who answered Ray's question, questioning a group of about 20 people with somewhere similar design gear, that stood out among them.

Turning to those who spoke, there was a man in his late teens who seemed a little older than Ray. Leather armor with an emphasis on ease of movement is dressed on the waist as a typical warrior: a sheath fitted with a sword.

"Holy Light?

Out of Ray's mouth was about a group of about 20 people called Holy Light more than the man's identity. Even though there are so many of them, they haven't dived into the dungeon...

(Religion, huh? Don't look at it the first time in this world.... I wouldn't want to get involved if I could)

Ray whining inside.

Having lived in Japan, Ray went to the shrine for the first time on New Year's Eve and had a party and made a scene at Christmas. Funerals take place in temples...... I don't remember caring like a typical Japanese when it comes to religion in such a way. But still, if you look at the news, it was not uncommon for wars, conflicts, terrorism, or even suspicious emerging religions in Japan that religions related to. Just such a religious view, in Ray, religion and the troublemaker were entirely tied together in equals.

But naturally, a man doesn't have to realize that, so he keeps explaining.

"That's a religion that's still not very well known in the Kingdom of Mireana. It's only recently that I became known for this exil. Everything seems to be quite far from the kingdom of Mireana there is such a place as General Main Mountain. So, well, speaking of what they're doing... you're a mercenary, in brief."

"Mercenaries?"

Ray asks back unexpectedly to an unexpected word that came out of a man's mouth.

"Oh. They're supposed to pay 30% of that day's income as a reward. Whether you hire 5, 10, or 15 people, they take 30% of your total income for every person you hire for the Holy Light religion. Close to me."

"... I see. So there are adventurers looking for wild parties despite the existence of Holy Light."

"It will. It hurts to be taken exactly 30% of your income. So, unless there's anything you can do, very few people hire Holy Light."

Even for a man, the existence of Holy Lightism must be depressing. He turns his gaze toward a group of about 20 people, squeals his nose and strays his gaze.

"So, I appreciated the explanation about the Holy Light thing, but that's not all, is it?

"Oh. I was wondering if you'd like to throw a wild party with me. What do you say? I've never seen you dive into a dungeon before, either. What is it? Then..."

Ray shakes his neck to the side to make him stop as the man tries to go on with his words even further.

"I'm sorry, but we didn't belong to Eggzil, but we've dived into the dungeon, and we're on time enough for the avant-garde."

Ray can do both long-range and close-range using Death Size and Flame Magic, and Elaine can do both with Joined Sword and Wind Magic as well. Even in Ceto, the basics are predominantly melee attacks that leverage his abilities as a griffon, but can be ranged, such as windarrows and water polo. Although none of the yellows are available in terms of combat power, they have the ability to help in the details, starting with reconnaissance, with their ability as demons of use.

The Rays' party is an all-mighty structure if you think of it in terms of a warrior balance.

However, the biggest drawback is that there are no bandits capable of discovering or disarming the trap being set in the dungeon, but we have decided to put it behind us for now on that.

"... well. I thought if I were with you guys, I'd move on with the dungeon strategy. I can't help it if you can't. Call me if you feel like it again."

That's all the man says and leaves with a gentle shoulder clasp.

Ray was somewhat surprised by the unexpected development as he watched that.

As for Ray, I thought we were going to stick around for our spills. But when I said no, I left unexpectedly light, so I couldn't help it.

"Ray, wasn't that a little too much to say?

"... I just thought he was the one who approached us trying to use us. Maybe it was a little bad. Next time, I'll apologize."

"Right, that's good. More about bandits than that, but Holy Light... you can't look at that face."

"Oh. I'm sorry, but I don't really want to get involved in religious relations. And even though I don't attach much importance to earning, it's a little bit like they're going to take 30%."

Returns words to Elaine as she takes her gaze off from those to whom Holy Light is gathered, looking around.

A few wild party recruiters are turning their gaze to Ray because the man earlier said clearly that they wanted him to join the wild party and refused to do so, but did not imitate it in a particularly violent way.

Let's not talk about it. I just started to get that vibe...

"Elaine, do you want to go to the dungeon anyway? I'm just gonna walk upstairs today because it means something to me, so we're gonna be fine."

Speak deliberately to Elaine in a voice that can be heard around her.

Elaine nods with a small grin at the restraint against those who were obviously trying to solicit themselves.

"Right. Surely that's better. Sometimes it's only when you actually fight in the dungeons that you'll know."

Even for Elaine, this dungeon exploration also means a private trip with Half Ray. So, anyway, if you really needed it, I didn't want you to add any extra people to the party otherwise.

To the exchange between the two, those who were watching what was going on around them drop their shoulders and give up, looking for another personnel.

Some of them were not reckless enough to force Ray or Elaine into the party, but those people just pull back knowing the difference in character when they check Griffon with their eyes.

While leaving such an opponent behind, the two and two go down the stairs leading to the first basement of the dungeon.

If you're an adventurer with more than some strength, that's exactly the beginner's hierarchy that moves you to the next floor, no matter how late or how long it takes. Therefore, even though the line I was dropping off outside was a word of view, I expected to be able to attack the first basement floor as early as today.

"... it's pretty much the same as that dungeon when it comes to what's going on inside."

First basement floor of the dungeon. Proceed there for about 10 minutes before Ray squeaks.

A passage on a thin, glowing wall, large enough for Seto to afford to fight. The enemies appearing were low-ranking monsters such as Poison Toad and Goblin, and where the slime cleaned up its carcass was not so different from the dungeon when it dived into the altar of inheritance.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Take this and receive it from Ceto, which offers the feet of the chewed poison toad, and store it in the mysterious ring, cut the tongue and poison bag with a knife for stripping, and store it in the mysterious ring with demonic stones and crusade proof sites.

"We're still on the first basement floor, so we won't be able to help that area. Probably pretty much the same in shallow hierarchies in every dungeon? … although I also know only dungeons with Eggzil dungeons and altars of inheritance"

Elaine tells her as she waves a connecting sword, pays off the blood of a goblin and flies it to her sheath.

"Cucu!"

"Here, yellow. Don't touch it because it's dirty."

Elaine cautions when she sees a yellow flying through the air approaching the goblin that is slashing and tearing her abdomen and spilling her guts down to the floor.

Ray was watching with a small grin at the look of it, but decided that the stripping of Goblin and Poison Toad material was complete and proceeded out of the dungeon again with the Death Size in his hand.

"If it's true that only this many enemies come out, you won't need bandits in this hierarchy. In fact, no one else will show up except us."

"With that said, you sure do. I think it's okay to have an adventurer who's new to the dungeon."

Walking down the aisle of the dungeon in that way, you will eventually arrive at a two-fork split.

"Which way are we going?

"... give me a minute"

Squeeze, take one piece of paper out of your hip pouch. This is a map of the dungeon I bought from the Alliance the day before.

Most importantly, the maps are sold on a tier by tier basis, one of which I have bought up to five floors underground for the time being.

It is a map that is completely unnecessary given its original strength, but the two people who had very hard experience in the hierarchy where there is no map in the dungeon of the altar of inheritance bought it just in case.

Elaine looking at the map, Ray and Seto are each alert to what's going on back and forth, and Yello is stopping on Elaine's shoulder to peek into the map just like the Lord.

"When you go to the right, there are several rooms, passing the aisle somewhat and a staircase ahead. The left is the end of the line, but it leads to a pretty big room. I hear the monsters are there a lot."

"I see, a combat training ground treatment for beginners. After that, we'll get used to the dungeons."

"Probably.... What do we do? At this rate, the only enemies that come out of this hierarchy are the miscellaneous fish, and as our opponents, there is no shortage. So we head to the next hierarchy?

To Elaine's words, Ray decides after thinking for a few seconds.

"Right, you might want to go downstairs for sure. Then go right."

For some reason, Ray is partitioning it, not Elaine above, but Elaine was listening to the instructions without complaining in particular.

Some say they know Ray's abilities by acting together several times on this, and others that Ray is an adventurer and an excellent judge.

I suppose Elaine would be the one to tell you if you find something wrong instead of relying entirely on Ray.

"Um, then you're right. If you keep going straight, they have several small rooms lined up on either side of the aisle regularly. Sometimes some of those little rooms are populated with monsters, so if the material is intended, it says to be careful not to be attacked intensively by a large number of monsters... In our case, it's irrelevant, so we head directly to the stairs, okay?

"Oh. Even if we take the material, if it's on the first basement floor, we only have miscellaneous fish monsters like goblins and poison toads. Naturally, the purchase price of materials and demon stones is also low."

To Ray's words, Elaine nods in agreement. On that shoulder, did you understand what it meant or not, and the yellow snorted as well.

Thus, the two and the two go through the dungeons by slashing and throwing away low-ranking monsters like goblins that sometimes appear as if they were not even opponents.

In the beginning, I had stripped down the material, demon stones, and crusade proof sites of the monsters I defeated, but in the end in the case of monsters about goblins, taking down demon stones is only a bundle of three sentences, which leaves them intact in the aisle except for the right ear of the crusade proof site, which can be easily cut off by the fact that it takes all the effort and time.

Expect that if you find a novice adventurer in the dungeon who might come later, you'll just be lucky enough to strip off the material, or Slime, who is also a cleaner in the dungeon, will clean it up.

About an hour while going down the aisle that way. Without even stopping in the unwanted room because of the map, the Rays, who aimed straight at the staircase, discover the staircase to the basement with the utmost lightness.

"Is that so easy for you?

"No, well, isn't this a place for beginners in the sense that it's the first basement floor, so you can't help it?

Returning to Elaine, who grumbled with a somewhat frightened look, Ray quickly turned his gaze toward the stairs.

Okay, let's go.

"Oh, yeah"

I exchanged words briefly and as I went down the stairs... the first thing I could see was the magic formation right next to the stairs.

I understood what that magic formation was because I had gathered information in advance. To use the transfer device that was located near the entrance to the dungeon.

Looking at it with interest...... eventually the magic formation glowed slightly and at the next moment one girl appeared there.
