Legend

"Well, this is..."

In front of the lake, Dusker whines unexpectedly and so on.

... Nevertheless, it is the lake whose gaze is directed, but also elsewhere from it.

Slime still burning after one night.

The size of the slime is about the size of a mountain or hill, so it really attracts attention.

Huge slimes are burning and lakes the size of guilds.

Those two were even contrasts in terms of flames and water.

"Yes. It's a lake I've been transferring.... To be honest, I don't know where the hell you've been transferring from, but I was wondering if it would be of great benefit to Gilm. It's just that the monster..."

To the words of the knight that remained on this occasion, Dusker turns his eyes to the knight and nods from the burning slime and lake.

"I'm listening, and most importantly, I wish I could show you something like that"

"That slime... I thought it was a special example of various things. But even if it was a monster, there was something special about it."

"Demon Stone."

I recall a story from an adventurer who brought a report to the Lords' Hall, and I answer that.

A monster without a demonic stone is definitely a very troublesome being.

If one or two or so monsters do not have demonic stones, they would also seem to be valuable examples.

But with all these monsters living in the lake without demonic stones, it would be very troublesome.

If there are no monster demon stones, less adventurers will defeat the monsters in this lake.

The most expensive material you can buy from a monster is the Demon Stone.

It's not that it won't be gold at all because it can be bought away in any way other than the Demon Stone, but it's still huge that you don't get the most expensive Demon Stone.

"Yes, if you can, I hope Ray... no, the monster Seto knocked down is the kind of opponent with a demon stone in his head"

"That would be difficult."

He understood that there were quite a few monsters with demonic stones on their heads, only Dusker, who had experience fighting many monsters as a knight.

But I can still be more convinced of the lake coming from different worlds and being on the head than not having demonic stones. And most importantly, if a monster without demonic stones becomes public, it will still be a commotion, and even the workload of Dusker, who barely has time to rest, will increase even further.

(Well, I guess I can't)

Dusker has also determined that it is only a hopeful observation, and does not do anything in particular to penetrate it, but turns his gaze to Ray, not the knight he was talking about.

"Nevertheless, Ray. How long has that giant slime round grill been going on?

"No matter how long they say... that's all I can say until that slime burns to death completely"

"... don't you know when that will be?

"You don't know. To be honest, the magic I used is extremely powerful. That's like if you were a slime or something around there, all the demon stones would be burned in an instant. No, not slime, not enough to say most monsters are burned to death."

"But that slime is still alive," he said?

"Yes. As you can see from the size, that slime was probably what we call a rare species or something like that. Or superior species."

A rare species is a monster that has the ability not normally even to be the same monster.

Seto, for example.

Ordinary griffons can't use so many different skills.... In fact, Seto can't be called a very normal griffon more than a griffon created by warcraft.

Either way, superior species for such a rare species means that they are like oak kings for normal oaks.

The kind of slime that eats the magic of Ray but still doesn't die and keeps burning would be convincing to be said to be a rare or superior species.

If they specifically said one thing or the other, I would have had to get lost though.

"If you look at that size, you can also convince me of Ray's explanation.... Whatever, that slime can only keep burning. Is that what this is all about?

"It will. Fortunately, while it keeps burning with my magic, I can't move that slime either, so I was wondering if there's anything wrong with it other than being hot or bright at night."

"... I'm worried that the brightness of the night won't attract the monsters. What about you?

"Hmm, what about that? Beasts say they're afraid of fire..."

That's what I told you Ray, but I don't actually know anything about fire... a beast like I've never been involved with a human before, and in the case of a curious beast, it sometimes comes close to fire from me.

Not to mention that, in the case of monsters, they are often more ferocious than beasts, and if you look at fire, you don't necessarily come close to judging that you have prey.

... I guess that monster is going to burn to death if you try to touch the slime forcefully because it's getting closer.

"Can't you deny it?... and you'll need to be more careful than ever before than some people, not animals, might even come here"

With that said, there is a gentle color in Dusker's eyes.

Seeing the sight of Lizardman's children playing by the lake, I guess it's soothing.

Extremely huge Lizardman like Gaga is, as an exception, basically a Lizardman is tall and has a disappointing body.

Compared to such an adult Lizardman, the children's Lizardmans, who are currently ahead of Dusker's gaze, are small and adorable.

Ray and the knights also understood that Dasker was watching and soothing.

In the case of Dusker, there may have been a side to it, such as escaping reality from a mountainous job.

Lizardman children playing in shallow places while shaking their little tails.

Seeing those kids, I really felt like I knew...

"Ah."

Three voices align: Dusker, Ray, and the Knight.

The reason for this is that when I pulled my hand out of the water, I caught a fish in that hand, wondering if Lizardman's child had accidentally succumbed and quickly stuck his hand in the water.

... No, if that was all, I wouldn't have been surprised if I was impressed.

But Lizardman's child ate a thousand pieces from the head to the torso of the eagle.

Naturally, from the lower half of the fish left after eating a thousand chops, blood falls into the water.

It was as if the sight I had ever seen in a gloomy way had turned into something tragic in an instant... such a sight.

Especially damaging would have been Dusker, who had seen and soothed the Lizardman children.

"With that said, Zozo liked fish"

Ray, who got back on his feet a little faster, tells him so.

For fish lovers like Zozo, a lake with fish swimming would be an excellent fishing ground.

"'Cause wait a minute. I'm fine and I'm eating fish, is that good?

Ray didn't know what Dusker was talking about at first, but he immediately figured out why.

This lake is unlikely to have been transferred from a third world unlike the Grand Dragonian Empire.

In other words, the appearance may not actually be fish or have ingredients that do not fit the body of the Lizardman.

On the contrary, it was too dangerous to catch fish swimming without previous knowledge and eat a thousand pieces without passing a fire than some fish poisoned like a fugue.

Although, it's slower than I've already eaten this way.

"Zozo!"

Still for once, Ray calling Zozo.

Zozo, who was watching on the children's side, approaches as soon as he hears Ray's words.

'Master Ray, what's wrong?

"This lake..."

That's what I said, and Fu Ray turns his gaze to the knight.

Dusker was showing how to smell what he expected this lake to have transferred from a different world than the Grand Dragonian Empire, but I was wondering if I could tell the knight that. Think about it.

You understand what such a ray's gaze means, Dusker nods back at Ray.

Anyway, it will soon be known that we come from different worlds, and most importantly, the knights who serve Dusker are all worthy of trust.

If a knight betrayed Dusker, I have the feeling of just accepting it alot.

"There's a good chance this lake has been transferred from a different world than yours. I mean, even fish can have poisonous fish or something like that. Nonetheless, the kids usually eat raw, but no problem?

The knight reacted for a moment with the word different world, but does nothing more, and watches Ray and Zozo go without saying anything.

"Is it poison? I didn't think about it, but if you were going to die, that would mean you were destined. '

That's what I'll tell you.

Was the answer completely unexpected, both Ray and Dusker...... and even the knight who heard the word different worlds had a surprised look on his face.

"Huh? Okay, that. You're gonna die in some cases?

"Yes."

Ray doesn't know exactly what a fish poison is either.

Still, I had seen it on TV when I was in Japan that Fugue was said to be an iron gun, and I knew why.

Iron cannons because those who ate the fugue often die.

This would mean that Fugue has enough poison to kill people.

I don't think there are tons of poisonous fish out there, but it was natural to worry nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure the other Rays were more worried about Lizardman's kids than Lizardman's Zozo.

Nevertheless, if they told me that was Lizardman's custom, I had no choice but to convince them as Rays.

Even if it seems strange from the eyes of the Rays, it cannot be imitated in such a way as to press it.

Of course, if the custom caused any harm to the inhabitants of the Guild, then the Lord of the Guild, Dusker, had to behave accordingly.

"... Dear Dusker, we need to find out if it's okay for us to eat the Lizardman as long as we keep it."

"Right. Without the poison, this lake would be a place of grace for the Guild"

The most expected thing about this lake coming was still fresh fish. What about water resources and new monster materials?... although it seems to be a monster without demonic stones.

That is why the investigation of the lake was mandatory.

(The question is, who do you ask?)

If it's also an investigation of an unknown location, it's definitely a lot harder.

Not to mention, if that's a place on the ground like mountains, forests, caves, you'd be used to it for Gilm adventurers, but the place is a lake.

It's not just a lake either, it's the kind of lake that has been transferred from different worlds, and its vastness can be said to be vast.

None of the guilds are accustomed to investigating such places... not for the record, but the numbers are still small.

Even when it comes to Gilm adventurers, their backgrounds vary.

Some were born and raised in the Guild and became adventurers, while others come to the Guild after being active everywhere.

In the latter case, some places, such as rivers, lakes and seas, have been surveyed in some places where they were originally active, so some of these people would not be about the size of this lake, but have nevertheless done lake surveys.

If we leave it up to such people, we will be able to investigate this lake.

Yes, Dusker thinks... gaze at the burning slime.

(Luckily, we talked about no other huge presence like that slime in the Marina investigation.... if a marina that can use spiritual magic would do the research, it would help a lot)

I am now entrusted with the treatment of the injuries of those who are carrying out additional construction work, where quite... no, I also know that it is very active.

I understand you're active in treating injuries, but now lake investigation should have taken precedence over that.

... working in the clinic is more than that is what is planned to take a few years before the construction of the additions is finished, you can always say it.

But it was also true that the lake survey wanted to be conducted as soon as possible.

"Ah. That's amazing, that"

Two, the knight looks at the lake again and squeals.

What was happening there was the sight of the Lizardman children slamming their tails against the water with all of them in place.

Then the fish faints... and eventually catches the fish that came up, it goes out of its head.

I guess I envied the other kids who were eating fish first.

Sometimes for the second time, the Rays looked at the sight without much shock.
