Legend

"... What do you say, Mr. Twobird?

To the words of the worker, an old man, known as Two-Bird, looks up.

What was in front of the man is, at first glance, a substitute that only looks like Trent's body.

But this was also a substitute for what Ray should have called the non-existent Trent of the Demon Stone, brought from the Trent Forest.

Looking at the worker, Twobird...... When it comes to the eyesight of monster material, even Guild's guild has the highest skill man shakes his neck sideways.

Having the highest arms in the gilm...... having eye-catching power means a lot.

The Gilm of the Border is a land called the Border, which brings in various monsters who do not appear in normal places.

That's why we need the right amount of eye-catching strength.

Even for such a two-bird, Trent's body in front of him was nothing but a wonder.

"You can't. Normally if you look only at the exterior, you say it's only Trent no matter where you look from..."

Trent, whose body was cut by Ray trying to find the Demon Stone, wasn't the only one whose squeaking two-bird gaze was pointed at him......

By the hands of Twobird, many Trents had already opened their bodies.

Although, in the case of Trent, the tree monster, it is subtle whether or not it can be described as opening the body.

"At first, I thought you were bringing Trent out of the demon stone and saying there were no demon stones. Well, Ray's the one who brought this, so I wasn't worried about that area."

I guess it's still this time of year that Twobird was so suspicious.

It is not uncommon for some adventurers who have just come to Gilm to imitate stupid attempts to sell their names quickly.

I knew Ray was the one who brought this, but I still couldn't possibly not suspect Twobird given the circumstances around.

Anyway, it's a monster without a demon stone.

"I guess. I don't think Mr. Ray would do such an imitation... but considering there's a good side to it, there's a chance that the good and the bad will fool you... no, you won't"

If it's just Ray, maybe he could fool you.

But when Ray went to Trent Forest, there was a marina there.

I can't imagine the guild master marina in front of the worker being fooled by such lies.

Now is the time for workers to work as guild masters, but they don't think they can beat marinas purely because of their abilities as guild masters.

On the contrary, it was the worker's honesty that he hadn't even stepped on that shadow yet.

"But... because it's going to be a little nasty. Mr. Twobird, look at this Trent. What do you think frankly?

"I don't care what you say... well, none of the few monsters I've seen were monsters without demonic stones."

In the first place, there is no such thing as a monster without a demonic stone.

The worker snorts at the words of Two-Bird who tells him so.

Where the dungeon was, it was a worker entrusted with the guild's outpost.

I know a lot about monsters, not as much as Two-Bird.

Thinking from such a worker is not very much about this one, but it is incredible.

If it wasn't Ray who brought Trent's body without the demon stone... and if it hadn't been proven that there was no demon stone in front of him, the worker wouldn't have been very, but he couldn't believe it either.

That's about it for this one.

But in order to build more guilds, you really need Trent Wood.

If you have to be precise, you can bring it from another city.

But then, as a matter of course, more funds will be needed.

Not to mention that if you're going to build more guilds with 50% more, that's what no matter how much wood you have, it won't be enough.

Above all, Trento forest trees have more power than ordinary wood thanks to their magic.

(Or because Trent Forest trees are of that nature, the opinion came out that we should use them to build more guilds... if they were regular trees, that wouldn't have happened)

The troublesome, creepy nature of Trent's Forest...... the worker haunts his head in a situation that he has to think is useful with it.

"Anyway, I would ask Mr. Twobird to investigate this Trent. … If you can successfully adjust how Trent's forest erodes, it can also be called the gospel for Gilm"

"... I don't think it's going to work that well."

I've seen monsters for years, and I've only seen monsters on the border, too, and Twobird knows how dangerous a monster is.

That's why we had to lean our necks if they asked us if we could control the monsters the way we wanted them to, as the workers say.

"Alliance Master, may I be honest with you?

"Yeah? What is it? Of course you don't mind. Maybe that will produce better results."

This is how workers also have ears to listen to other people's opinions.

This is good luck for the guild staff, I would say.

Some guilds operate close to dictatorship.

Like making people quit immediately if they don't agree with their opinions.

Compared to such guild masters, a worker would be a much easier opponent to deal with.

Of course, Marina, the former Alliance Master, could not have succeeded the Alliance Master to such a person.

"To be honest, is this Trent Forest? This is widespread, isn't it? Then shouldn't we have destroyed it while we're at it?

"... I also understand Mr. Twobird's concern. But there is no doubt that this forest of Trento is very important to the Guild today. Naturally, don't worry, we're ready to deal with anything right away."

"That being said, the existence of a monster doesn't necessarily work as expected here. That's why you should always think that you're going to make a move that will betray our expectations."

It was a two-bird complaining about the danger of monsters, but the workers also have reason not to retreat here.

If we can't use Trent Forest wood here, that means the development of the Guild will be delayed.

At the same time, Guild adventurers will no longer be able to get many jobs.

As an Alliance Master, I wanted to do the additional construction work that would benefit Guild's adventurers as soon as possible.

(Besides, I don't know how long the Red Lotus Wings, including Mr. Ray, will be in the Guild.)

I'm pretty sure the Rays are currently based in Guild, and I can't imagine moving the base that easily.

But...... just because I can't think of it doesn't mean it'll never happen, I wanted to clean up the big job of building more guilds while there are exceptional parties in various ways: Red Lotus Wings.

If this is a normal request, I guess you don't even have to worry about it that much...... additions to the city, that's not an easy story if it's also a 50% increase.

While at all wary, a little sooner... it was natural for a worker to think so.

Ray, in particular, has a very attractive ability to the wind: item boxes and a ceto that can fly through the sky.

Anyone who is involved with Ray will know how effective that ability is.

So there was no reason for the workers to rush.

(Most of all, it is an unmistakable fact that Trent Forest is a dangerous place for all sorts of things. Beyond that, you can't deny the possibility of pointlessly endangering adventurers if you do poorly)

It was only natural that there was more danger there than there was in the profession of adventurer.

But that's why we don't have to go out of our way to risk what we can avoid.

(Do I need to talk to Master Dusker once?)

Fortunately, the worker meets Dasker every day for a meeting about the construction work on the guild.

More than that, it is not a difficult story to discuss this matter.

When he decided what he needed to do, the worker told Twobird to look into Trent again and try to figure out at least a little bit of the mystery of this unidentified existence.

"Gyogaaaa!"

In the woods, screaming.

That's not just one.

There were corpses all over... goblin corpses rolling.

No, it's not just goblins. There are other monsters like Oak and Lizardman.

But... few of those monsters existed alive.

On the contrary, if it's a goblin, if it's an oak, there are fewer bodies that can be discerned as being Lizardman.

There are many monsters such as those who are strewn roots throughout the body alive and see pulsating under the skin like blood vessels, those whose lower body is pierced by plants growing from the ground and all the flesh and guts in the body are dissolved and absorbed with digestive fluid, leaving only bones and skin.

If the Rays see this sight, they will keep an eye out.

When I came to this forest a few hours ago, there were no monsters other than plants like Trent.

But not now.

Exactly when the ground is filled by the bodies of countless monsters, you would be right to describe it that way.

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

A sharp thorny twat wraps around his body, damaging his skin and flesh.

Goblins scream without body or lid at the severe pain they feel from all over their bodies in the literal sense.

If this were an adventurer, you could also use a blade to imitate cutting a tsu, but unfortunately for Goblin, the sight in front of him was all it was.

In the first place, Goblin's weapon is more than a stick, and there's nothing I can do about it when Tsu is involved in his body.

That's how the tsu wield a lot of blood from all over his body.

It's like a kid is swinging a toy...... that feeling.

Most of all, there is no reason for a swinging goblin not to get hurt more than if he were alive.

... No, though it may have been fortunate for Goblin to hit the trunk of a tree that was growing nearby and break a neck bone and die from it.

When that's how the goblin that lived to the end dies, only the corpse spreads through the woods.

Bocoli, and.

When the ground swells, something emerges from it.

No, I guess that's the root of a tree. But the thickness of the root of the tree was about the size of an adult's torso.

Its roots wrap around the bodies of oaks and Lizardmans, diving into the ground.

Without the appearance that it was the root of a tree, the sight was very similar to acts such as snakes tightening their prey with their torso.

When snake-like roots such as how many or dozens of snakes take everything under the ground, including the goblin corpse, the next thing you know, it's not the roots of the trees that come. It is also the right amount of bamboo to call it a herd of bamboo.

It sucks away all the blood, meat, bones, guts, etc. left on the ground.

If Ray sees that, he says it's like a vacuum cleaner... he'll have that feeling.

On the contrary, even the dark smell of blood drifted around the area was absorbed.

I wondered if that was the only thing that could feed the forest: a drop of blood, a piece of meat, or even the smell of blood drifting in the air.

The innumerable numbers of birds devouring their prey resembled the swallowing of their prey by a herd of serpents.

A few minutes later… there was no trace of a body left on the spot.

If you think that even the blood odor that was drifting in the air is completely extinguished, no one will realize that there was an act here that could also be called the massacre of monsters.

In fact, if I thought even Seto couldn't realize it, I was proving how perfect it was.

Only silence thus lingers in the woods.

While only the moonlight illuminates...... from the surrounding trees, something small, that's about the size of a grain of sand flows.

Something small flows out of the woods in the wind as it emits its own light.

Yes, to gather another prey... into the forest to nourish the forest.

With all due respect, the creatures who can only think about the forest will come to this forest again, as will the monsters who were killed earlier.

The forest just waits full of silence for even the prey to come.
