Legend

Can I get a sandwich salpent? Asked so, Zaroust nods back with a little hesitation.

In fact, it was not ourselves, but the person in front of us who put the sandserpent in place.

We were the first to encounter ourselves, but honestly if we had stayed in battle, some rookies in the escort could have lost their lives.

It was true that I was helped if I thought about it that way, and I didn't want to imitate shamelessly like demanding ownership here.

I recall that Augusto, the subject of Zaroust's escort and the head of this merchant squad, had not gained his understanding and nodded and then rushed to look toward Augusto, but Augusto nodded instantly at Zaroust's gaze.

That's probably because you understand that it's dangerous to undermine the mood of an opponent who has the strength to defeat Sandserpent in one blow.

(Even so, given that little physique, is it probably a child? It doesn't seem like a woman from the standpoint of language...)

Zaroust, unable to confirm Ray's face because he is wearing a dragon robe hood, questions his heart.

It would be from the experience of working as an adventurer for many years that that question does not appear on the face.

"Well, that helps. I've never seen this monster before. I wanted to make sure.... If I could, I hope there's another one... not here."

"Ah, oh. Sandserpents are monsters that live in the desert, but basically they often operate in the sand desert. This is a mix of desert and rock deserts, so it's rare to come out here."

In an attempt to get some information from the person in front of him, Zaroust goes on to say the words.

"Nevertheless, it's nice to give away the sand serpent to you, but how are you going to carry it? Pretty big though."

"Yeah? Oh, don't worry.... but a serpentine monster probably meant a lot of material on the head"

"Right. Sandserpent fangs in particular are thin and relatively expensive. There's only one on the head of the crusade proof site, and the silver scales seem to have disappeared."

"... right"

Ray, who was also taught to blow up to the crusade proof site, is only slightly depressed.

I'm not in trouble with the money, so it's not like it's going to be a huge damage by the time it's deadly.

Still, it wasn't funny that he had wiped out the material and crusade proof areas he was still supposed to gain with his mistakes.

(Sandserpent fangs would have made it a pretty good material)

A glance at the body of a sandserpent lying on the ground with a loss of his head, he regains his mind and moves closer to you.

A sand salpent about five meters long, but half of its body is still in the sand.

It takes a lot of effort to pull that body out...... In what the watchers think, Ray touched the torso of the sandserpent without looking particularly concerned about such a gaze.

While stroking the sandserpent scales, Ray turns his gaze toward Zaroust and opens his mouth to see if something bothered him.

"I just want to ask, could this monster's blood be sold as a material too?

"Ah? Huh? Oh. I think you'll buy it as an alchemy material..."

"Right. If you fail a little."

The blood flowing from where the crushed head was is becoming quite weak in its momentum.

That meant that there was very little blood left in the body of the sandserpent.

"Blood loss didn't mean it was easy.... I've done it and I can't help it. Even so, I knew this spear was a little too powerful."

The squeaky Ray's gaze was pointed at the deep red spear he had.

This was the first time I had actually used it on a creature, but it was a far more powerful blow than I expected.

I guess that Ray's whining got in my ear. While trying not to represent Zaroust in his attitude, I very much agree that he is too powerful inside.

Naturally. Sandserpent is by nature the top rank C monster, and the partying adventurers are finally opponents of each other.

I wondered if there was a strange sound of cum, and the next moment most of my head had disappeared, so there was no way I could nod if I was told it wasn't powerful.

I didn't know what means I used to do that, but the spear that stuck me in the desert by wiping out the head of the sandserpent was disappearing the next moment and back in Ray's hands.

(Maybe... I'm sure it's not unlimited, but Ray can attack again and again.... what kind of monster is that?)

You can carry out multiple attacks in a row that will annihilate the head of the sandserpent with a single blow. Just thinking about it, something cold runs through Zaroust's spine.

It is the desert that I am currently in, and, as always, the intense heat fills my surroundings.

Just thinking about what would happen if that spear attack were directed at me, I would decide that imitation hostile to Ray should definitely be avoided.

While Zaroust... and others, starting with Augusto, think they can never be hostile to Ray, Ray touches Sandserpent... the next moment, the giant disappears as if it were a lie that has ever been there.

"Huh? Hey, where's Sandserpent's body?

"Is that it? Am I looking at it wrong? Until just now, there was definitely a sandserpent body there, wasn't there?

"... phantom?

While the escort adventurers and merchants were making noise like they couldn't understand what had been done in front of each of them, several were aware of what Ray had done.

Faces like Augusto, who leads the merchant squad, and Zarousto, who brings together escorts.

But even if you understand the act that was done in front of you, you can't put it in your mouth.

Although the name is known, it is natural because there are only a few people who have actually seen it in their eyes.

Griffon, Dusk Spear, Item Box.... Augusto and Zaroust were surprised more than once by Ray in this short time, but Ray is already accustomed to such surrounding reactions and approaches Seto without looking particularly concerned.

"Wait, please!

It goes to Ray's back like that, and Augusto calls out.

It was an act from my perspective as a merchant that if I had to break up with Ray here, I would never get to know anyone like this again.

To the voice hung from behind, Ray stops moving and thinks a little.

Sometimes this time I craved the demon stone of an unknown monster called Sandserpent, and for the purpose of trying to use a spear of dusk. Also, abandoning him like that helped him by not sleeping well, but Ray was on his way to Gosh in the first place because the merchants attached him.

Ray turns around, remembering recent events.

"What the hell? I want to head over to Gosh."

"... well, what can I say, Mr. Ray doesn't know much about gosh or the desert, does he?

"Well, I won't deny that"

The knowledge of the desert in Ray is to the extent that it attacked the desert hierarchy in the labyrinth city of Exil.... and the knowledge I gained when I was in Japan, but that doesn't help much at the moment.

Augusto continues his words with a grin that he was not denied his words.

"So what do you think? Actually, we're on our way to Gosh, too, but we can't act together. I think I can give you some useful information about this area."

Instead, do you want me to escort you?

Augusto nods without particularly denying Ray's words that said so.

"Yeah. What do you think?

A distinctly different attitude from the merchants who had been flocking to themselves in the Guild.

If the merchants had insisted on selling the spear of dusk in the gilm, they would have managed to mislead the story and use the power of Ray, but would not have let themselves take the qualities of using Ray.

I guess that's right as a merchant, but from Ray's point of view, he was a very annoying opponent.

Of course I know not all the merchants in the Guild are of that character.

Especially the merchants of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce, who had previously rubbed with Ray, were concerned about an honest deal, not until the bad reviews of the past had completely disappeared…, but they were nevertheless becoming somewhat revisited by the inhabitants of Gilm.

Ray was quite cordial with several other merchants, but those merchants are now also committed to being honest with Ray.

Naturally. Sometimes Ray today has an alias, and no one knows him better in the Guild, and his subordinate Seto is an idol of the Guild.

If you respond dishonestly to Ray like that, and it gets out of Ray's mouth, you won't be able to open the store in Gilm with jokes or anything... but surely your feet will be reduced.

Ray himself doesn't realize that he has that much influence.

Either way, for the merchants who live in the Guild, Ray was never the kind of person you could insult while at the same time being a massive shopper.

But... the merchants that were swarming Ray were not that capable.

No, some of you may have known what was going on around there, but you wanted to buy a spear of dusk even at the risk.

For Ray, who was tired of interacting with such merchants, Augusto's words, which he admitted to using himself lightly as an escort, felt comfortable somewhere.

I guess that's why. I could have gone straight with Seto to the destination gosh...

"Okay, let's take it on"

That's what I told you.

What surprised me when I heard that word was Auguste.

Probably not, but I'm just going to say it, because I got a light endorsement of the suggestion I asked with that in mind.

"Huh? Is that okay?

I had no choice but to ask him unexpectedly.

"What now. You asked me out, didn't you? Besides, I've been through a bit of the other deserts, too, but I've never seen this desert before. It would be helpful if you could tell me a lot about the area."

"... Yeah, yeah. Of course. I'll tell you everything I know. I didn't know I could hire an awesome adventurer like Ray with that amount of information... to be honest, I was in a lot of trouble, so this one would help."

"Were you in trouble?

Questioning Augusto's words, Ray glances at the adventurers, beginning with Zaroust.

Ray's eyes looked mostly like competent adventurers, starting with Zaroust.

Inside we also saw the figure of those who would not have been so long since they became adventurers, but that is only a few.

Sandserpent was defeated by Ray, but it doesn't seem to Ray that there is such a thing as losing to Sandserpent if that's Zaroust and the others.

(Well, you're a newbie. Some could lose their lives)

I guess I understood what you were thinking with Ray's gaze. Augusto continues his words with a grin.

"On the journey to Gosh, monsters specific to the desert may emerge. It's not uncommon for some monsters to emerge more powerful than the sandserpent that Mr. Ray defeated.... If it's always the case, you don't have to worry about that area..."

Ray somehow understands what is difficult to say.

Perhaps it translates something.

It's something that I would love to hear a lot about if it were a normal translation, but Ray doesn't speak any more.

For some reason, Ray often encountered a translatable person and was therefore accustomed to encountering a translatable person.

"Well, that's a good story. We're gonna act together more than that, so what about the line? How long till we get to Gosh?

"Ha?... uh... I'm leaving that to Zaroust regarding the formation, so please talk to that. Until Gosh... well, I was wondering if I'd probably be there by tomorrow."

When traveling in the desert, I usually don't walk around during the day.

But if it was a carriage trip, it would have been different.

In particular, the camels held by Augusto are species that have been varietally improved to specialize in action in the desert, and the carriages have been devised in a variety of ways, including magic items, so that they can also travel through the desert.

Also, Ray looked familiar in the robe worn by the Augustos.

That's because it was used to attack the desert hierarchy in Exil.

Like these, I can travel normally even in the desert of day because I am carefully prepared for a few.

"Right, during the day tomorrow?... Ok. Then it's time to go. What am I supposed to do?

Asking Zaroust, the thought existed along with a feeling of certainty in Ray that maybe if he arrived at Gosh he would get into trouble again...
