Manowa
Episode 183: Let's Feel Crisis
"You couldn't."
That's what Jinlai said when he came back to the meadows at Hippo Maruku. Naoki, who is riding behind Jinlai, is also shaking his neck to the side.
And Nora, the man who took the carriage to Jinlai's words, said, "Really?" and dropped his shoulder. It was a prediction that could have been made, but there was still a slight expectation that if I had lived... That interrupted now. The man of the man you are with also seemed to have lost his temper.
"I've been messed up for a long time. I could only collect two Adventurer Alliance cards."
Jinlai follows Naoki's words about how he was depressed.
"In the meantime, I collected it and burned it. I hope this doesn't turn them out."
Zombification of adventurers, necromancy is also a matter of dying and living. Once we found the dead adventurer, burying him was also necessary to protect ourselves before morality. Mummy stealing is never much of a mummy.
"Oh well. Thank you, Naoki."
Nevertheless, the wind sounds thank Naoki and Jinlai for the wind sounds. We also have our own safety, but there is no lie in our own desire to be at peace. Not to mention the dead adventurers were acquaintances of the wind sounds.
Today, an hour had already passed since the wind sounds devastated the Kobolt dragon Modkiriders. The fallen carriages could no longer be used and the wind noises, who confirmed that the horses were dead, had given the men who had been attacked a rest once and in the meantime asked the Jinlai to go to the search for the party that they had been escorting them.
And the man the wind sounds saved was named Nora Corgment. He seems to be a pretty famous person because he seems to be a cook specializing in dragon cooking in the city of Dormoo and Louise, who heard the name, had voiced "Um..."
Nora said she took herself to the city of Criomine to buy the meat of a local nuclear dragon that had been put up for sale for a long time.
It is supposedly quite difficult to hunt a local nuclear dragon anyway if you are a regular ground dragon or a flying dragon. Normally, they're just one in a massive herd of ground dragons, and they only come out into deep hierarchies within the dungeons.
Needless to say, the dragon is big again. It is usually difficult to bring back all the material from the dragon you defeated because there is usually a limited amount you can take home within the dungeon. Sometimes material custodians hire a few parties of adventurers to quickly descend the dungeon and collect it, he said.
In that sense, the wind sounds that hunted the local nuclear dragon at the entrance to the dungeon may have been lucky. Without the most wind noises, it was not the local nuclear dragons that were in a position to eat, but the adventurers who were there.
"It looks like he didn't close the vault tight enough to smell the meat from the underground nuclear dragon."
Nora mouths the reason why the demon was attacked like a bum. I made a mistake that I shouldn't do as a dragon cook. Nora's insides were filled with bitter thoughts.
"It's not my husband's fault. It must be the mistake of the escorts. I cautioned you. Those idiots. Thank you. He opened it to check again after closing it once and left it there."
And apparently it was the escort and help adventurers who forgot to close the vault. But Nora shook her head to the side of the angry man.
"Still, if they hadn't kept the demons to the end, we and Mr. Kazane's help might have been caught and killed in time. Don't be so mean."
You know that, too. Therefore no more words came out of your Lord.
"Hmm, did you get caught by the smell of the meat of a subnuclear dragon? Then you might have no choice."
"Is it something that demons come by so much?
A wind noise asks Jinlai's snort.
"Remember Yucconeer, who ate the Black Rock Dragon. If Cobolt eats that class of meat, he'll degenerate as soon as possible. I don't know if it's going to be that Cobolt Blue or the High Cobolt."
I see. The wind nodded. The word alone was understandable enough for the wind to sound that it was what I would want, even if it were for demons living in a world of weak and forceful eating.
It's not normal to be attacked by a bunch of demons that are usually that far away, but it was thought that that Cobolt Blue, caught by the smell, would have attacked his people together while holding back the demons around him. But there was another concern about wind noise.
"By the way, Mr. Nola, the party of escort adventurers was good with 'Scral Killer'"
"Yes."
Shadows abound on Nola's reply to the wind and the expression of Naoki, Lyle and Emily behind it. That's the name of the skinhead Brucie party we met at the Blue Riffon Fortress. Nora also said Brucie's name. Unfortunately, it became certain that he had finished in this battle.
"I jumped out first because it was a bad ending in my body. He was a good man, but I'm sorry."
"Yeah. You know what?"
"Kazane, eventually the men were able to reach their escort. It wasn't like a bad death."
Jinlai speaks comforting words, but the wind sounds not clear in his face.
"Mr. Jinlai, for once I ask, was there no 'Child Stone' near the wreckage of the adventurer?
Jinlai tilts his neck at the word.
"No... what do you mean?
And when I heard the wind noise, Nora said, "Oh," and slapped my hand.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Brucey, I was talking. He said he got Sugamon in the previous battle. He said he'd redeem money in the city of Dormu and get a lot of money."
Jinlai's complexion turns into something dangerous in Nora's words.
"No way, did you have it? Childstone?
The wind murmured at Jinlai's inquiry.
"Mr. Brucey had a forty tier class child stone. And the flesh of the terrestrial dragon."
Childstone is the gatekeeping demon core of the dungeon. If the demon gets it, it absorbs it and creates an enhanced demon. The same is true if you eat meat from a subterranean dragon. Together, Jinlai honestly doesn't even know how many demons will be born.
"There's no denying the possibility of a Minotaur Class demon being born."
The wind sounds sinister in Jinlai's words.
"If it's in that class, if it's a solo party below rank B, you won't be dealing with it."
Minotaur, who fought in the caves of Aldrock, was strong. That ferocious power and material shield defense is good to say amazing. Then I also fought Stone Minotaur, who has no material shield but whose abilities are no different from the original, and I remember my skills and let them actually fight and I know how strong they are.
One thing that I expected to actually be uneven is the formation of stone minotaurs and chivalrous golems that the wind sounded like the day before. It was about the creation of an army of demons centered on fortified demons. And if the opponent is a cobolt that often moves in a group, I can predict that if they were eating that local nuclear dragon meat together, that would be a good chance.
"But to chase... it's a little late, isn't it?"
"It's been over an hour. Looks like you're in the woods even if you say you can trace the smell, and it's dangerous. There are ordinary people here."
The same goes for Nora and your men, but also for Benzel, the Alliance Master. The pursuit with them will be tough. It's also out of the question to split up the party and divide up the power of the war. The woods are their territory and if you encounter a few Cobolt Blues, you are likely to have victims inside the party.
With the wind noise and jinlai in mind, Benzel came out of the side to help the ship.
"Hmm. Shall I use Alliance Master authority to make this Mr. Nola's escort request an urgent nomination?"
Jinlai chuckles at the words. Just like Louise, Jinlai seems to know Benzel.
"Guess I'll get a commission"
"Mochi Ron. Right?
"Yeah, well."
Nora nods even as she shudders at Benzel, who asks after a loud nod to Jinlai. I'm sorry I left you here, and you've helped me so far. Nora also thought it would be natural to pay for the wind noises.
Thus the determined line of policy was to head straight to the city of Dormu. I'm also concerned about Childstone and the whereabouts of the local nuclear dragon meat, but we should do what we can first.
And on that road, the wind sounded heard from Louise about Nola.
◎ City side of Dormu, Dragon Road, Capital Street
"Heh, Mr. Nora's a celebrity."
The sound of the wind's inspiration echoed in the carriage.
"Embarrassing. I'm still in training."
Nola, the only man in the carriage, gave it back somewhere embarrassing.
By the way, I'm in the carriage right now with wind noises, tiara, louise, nola on bowflowers. Benzel is riding the dragon rider Lyell, and his lord sat beside Jinlai in the throne, and Lyle in the opposite seat. Emily and Naoki are each on hippo-kun high and clear to run outside.
"Ma Ta. He's not the number one chef nominated for Dormu's famous restaurant, Dragon Tooth Hall."
Louise returns that to Nora, who humbles herself.
Louise says this rounded man named Nola is also a famous chef in the city of Dormu. You're talking about having to wait a year now after an appointment arrives to eat this man's food?
"But this time again, I couldn't bring back the meat of a local nuclear dragon, and no, no, no, no."
Nora laughs bitterly when she says so. It was good until I went and bought the first hunted local nuclear dragon in a long time, but this is the case. Nora has a twilight look on her face when she's going home with nothing to gain.
"Was it the meat of a subnuclear dragon? Maybe it belongs to the guy we took down."
"Sounds like it. You, the ghost killer princesses and the white bunch, boasted of the scral killers."
You remind me of Scral Killer. Nola's voice was a little lonely.
"I have the meat of a nuclear dragon."
"Is it true!?
Nola responds to the words of wind noise.
"Yeah, I heard it tasted good on your hips, buttocks and shoulders, and then your tongue. We saved it for ourselves there."
I have a whole tongue in particular. I like the sound of the wind.
Nora also said to the words, "Oh, so..." A few things were missing from the list of sites for the underground nuclear dragon when I bought it.
"Still, I need to talk to you."
That said, the wind noise took the consultation of being in Nola. That's about the Black Rock Dragon steak.
