"... what?

Ray stops the hand he was trying to carry his sandwich to his mouth to the words of the worker and turns a gaze of doubt like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

A dungeon was created in a mountain near a city called Goltz.

That's understandable to Ray, and although it's unusual, it's not that scarce.

In fact, there were two dungeons near the gilm.

But Ray wasn't sure that a dungeon had been created on the cliff wall.

"Yeah. Am I mishearing you?

"There's a dungeon on the wall of the cliff… if you've got something that looks exactly like a dungeon, it's nothing wrong to ask."

"... how did you know you had a dungeon in a place like that in the first place? Can't you even assume there's just a hole in the dungeon that looks like a dungeon for some reason?

It was also natural for Ray to question it.

If there is a cavernous hole in the cliff, it is unlikely that it will, but it can never be said that it will.

But to Ray's words, the worker often smiles and opens his mouth like he heard me.

"Right. If there's just a hole in the cliff wall, you wouldn't be able to say that's necessarily a dungeon. But... at least a hole that showed up on the wall... no, let's call it a cave for now. In that cave, goblins, cobolts, oaks… it's true that there are many other monsters."

"How can you say that? The monster shows his face from that cave. But you saw it? Or, if it's on the cliff wall, did you go down that far?

If it is a cave on a cliff wall, it will be very difficult to find out where there are monsters… or whether there are animal species, even if they are other than monsters.

The best way to look inside that cave is still just to get off the cliff like Ray said and check directly inside that cave.

But workers deny it.

"No. That cliff seems to have a mixture of special ores, which seems to slip quite a bit. And then it was sharp and pointed, not very sharp, but I was wondering if I could imitate something like getting off the top."

"I think I can emulate it like putting down an adventurer with a lifeline. That's what a sharp rock would do with armor or a shield.... the rope cuts?

"It's likely," he said.

"... So how did you end up deciding there was a monster in that cave?

"That's easy. Under the cave...... no, should I say under the cliff in this case? And I said," There are monster bodies like goblins, cobolts, oaks, and so on, because there are many bodies that I think have fallen to death. "

"What?"

Again, Ray turns his gaze on things like what the workers are saying.

But even though the worker eats a Lenora handmade sandwich, he doesn't look like he laughs, especially if it's a joke.

This means that the words spoken by the workers are indisputable truths.

"Uh... what is that? I mean, from the dungeons and thought places on the walls, one monster after another comes out and falls off the high places at will and dies. Is that what this is about?

"Yeah. That's exactly what Mr. Ray said. I don't know if you're honest about the way you say it... but these days, Goltz adventurers... no, even if you're not an adventurer, they say it's fashionable to pick up monster material and demon stones under that cliff. By the way, they say the most popular is the oak."

"Uh... well, you'll be"

Orcs themselves have the strength there, and you can say that they are the worst opponents as well as goblins, especially for women.

But such oak meat has an unworthy taste.

That's enough to say it tastes like a few steps above the meat we normally sell around there.

"Besides, it's a bit inconceivable that there have been monsters in caves created by chance, given that the bodies of monsters have been mass-produced every day for the past few months"

"Ning Ro, isn't it more likely that that cave is connected somewhere else in the mountains? Even monsters aren't suddenly in places where there's nothing."

"It's possible, of course. … or even Goltz worried about the area and they explored the mountains on a fairly large scale"

Goltz is not a periphery, even in the countryside.

I mean, it's very rare, though not all monsters like oak show up.

That's why, like every day...... no, I guess I felt abnormal that in some cases every few hours an oak falling corpse is produced.

If Oak's nearby...... no, if you're also building settlements in Goblin and Kobolt, villages and cities in and around Goltz are dangerous.

With that in mind, Goltz gathered adventurers and hunters from the surrounding villages and cities, and did a great deal of mountain research.

"... but in the end I couldn't find a place connected to that cave. Of course, the dungeon is a mountain of considerable size and breadth, so it's possible that you missed it… very little monster damage has been reported near it."

The word of the worker means that there are no other monsters around or, if there are, fewer.

"When that happens, the only possibility that remains was that the place where the cave continues was the Goltz? Not in the vicinity, but further away..."

"A dungeon, right?"

Try to carry on Ray's words, and the worker tightens them so.

Of course there are many other suspicious possibilities, but the dungeon is probably the most suspicious in the current situation.

"I guess. But the dungeon is on the cliff wall, and the wall is slippery and sharp, so I can't climb or descend. Besides, if we just had a dungeon, wouldn't we rush that far?

"Right. I think so too. Especially given the current situation in Guild, it's hard for Ray and the others to get out."

"Nonetheless, does this mean you came to me with a story?

"Yeah. They're suddenly increasing the number of monsters dying under the cliff these days. And even monsters like you've never seen before are there."

"So, talk to the workers?

"Yes. The Alliance Master over there was a lot of things when I was younger."

I was a worker in my mouth when I was younger, but its appearance doesn't look very old.

Ray didn't understand how old such a worker was when he said he was young, but he still understood that Goltz's guild master and worker were friendly relationships.

"I mean, is it okay that the dungeon could be wider?

"Yes, that's what expands the dungeon, which varies a lot depending on the personality of the dungeon, apparently the Goltz dungeon is quick to do that"

So I rushed to contact the worker, and I guess that's what I'm saying.

"So, you're telling me to go attack the dungeon?

"Right. I'm not saying I can't, of course. However, I thought if it was a red lotus wing with a means of travel called Seto, than it was a dungeon with an entrance and exit on the cliff wall..."

It's not a dungeon in a place like that.

A dungeon on a cliff wall with slippery or sharp rocks.

With such a dungeon, even entering is life-threatening.

It would also be harder to take Porter like a normal dungeon than it is in such a place.

That being the case, what was needed, naturally, was a means of flying, and in that sense it was only natural that expectations of the Rays, who had Ceto, would increase.

"Right. So, what do you say?

Do you want to try the dungeon? And I worry about what Ray should do to the worker who asks me with that gaze.

No, in the sense of whether or not to try a dungeon, it's already decided to try.

One of the death-size skills, terrain manipulation.

To increase the level of this skill, which is currently Level Three, it is necessary to destroy the nucleus of the Labyrinth in Death Size.

(Well, maybe there are other ways to increase the level of terrain manipulation, but there's no better option to miss that opportunity than knowing it's the quickest way to destroy the nucleus of the dungeon in a death size)

In the sense of destroying the nucleus of the dungeon, Ray didn't know if the expression - born - was correct, as it appeared in this story, rather than a giant dungeon as it is in Exil - but the dungeon is the best.

The dungeon is not that wide than it was still born, and it is not difficult to reach where the nucleus of the dungeon is.

I'm worried about the dungeon.

"I know you deserve consideration... but are Goltz residents, especially adventurers, convinced?

Yes, Ray asks.

Try being a Goltz resident and a monster out of the dungeon will fall to the ground and die.

How often exactly does that happen...... and how many die in a day?

Ray didn't even know what was going on around there, but he can make money without doing anything, so it's not strange if someone comes out who hates the dungeon's offense just because of what's going on.

In theory, I guess you know that dungeons grow and that in the future the city you live in may suffer a lot from that.

But with the money hanging right now, there's definitely someone who jumps at you.

An adventurer, in particular, is a profession with many dangers.

It's no mistake to say that some jobs are paid for risking their lives.

For those adventurers, attacking a dungeon means you won't be able to earn that extraordinary income.

We headed to the Goltz to attack the dungeon. Fine, but if we were obstructed by the sun in the shadows, it would definitely be very troublesome.

(Well, worst of all, like when I went to the ocean, I guess I should just build a base somewhere else and stay there to sleep)

Thoughts because, starting with food, you have a mysterious ring where you can store and carry a large amount of what you need to live.

A normal adventurer would never be able to imitate that.

... Most likely, a request like this one was brought because the Rays are not normal.

"I don't think we're all entirely convinced. However, if you have been exercising your powers, you have been given the word that fighting back will not be a problem if it is somewhat too much.... only, somewhat, right?

That's what I thought from Ray's previous actions, maybe too much.

In thoughtful words, Ray smiles and opens his mouth.

"I haven't agreed to attack the dungeon yet. Besides, when you go to the dungeon, you can't even take part in the Gamelion crusade."

For Ray, it's pretty tough not being able to hunt gamelions.

Just for the annual event, I wanted to participate if I could.... When it comes to the nucleus of the dungeon, it's the latter, naturally.

Ray put out a gamelion hunt here only to negotiate.

If you're going to the dungeon anyway, it's natural to assume that you should get a little more reward.

But...... a worker who hears such Ray's words shakes his neck to the side unfortunately.

"Really? Well, in fact, this is not a nomination request, so I can't give you a reward, especially from here. Besides, Ray has been a great help in the construction of the new building. More than that, I can't say I can't do this one either. Ok. Well, unfortunately for the other adventurers..."

"Waited."

Ray echoes that reflexively to the worker who tried to end the conversation without hesitation.

I didn't think the worker who brought me the story of the dungeon would finish the conversation lightly.

"What?

Workers looking strangely at Ray's words.

That wasn't a joke or anything, it really seemed like we were trying to break up the story here.

Ray, who understands so from the look on the worker's face, eventually nods back unacceptably.

"Okay, that dungeon's offense, we'll let it. If the marinas can't make it, I'll let them go."

Yes, I told him.
