Episode 212: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and Collecting

"Really? But I hear adventurers are tough."

To Lorraine's words, Lili rides herself out a little.

He's interested in adventurers, and that tells me.

As a starting point, Lorraine takes it seriously because she doesn't think she can answer very appropriately.

"It sure is tough. That's not just about demons. Because it's a job that requires a wide range of knowledge, experience, and strong spiritual skills."

So I stopped the words once and looked at Lili and Farri's face, but Lorraine goes on even further because she had a slightly too abstract look or not pinned.

"… suppose, for example, a request was made to collect plants, such as medicinal herb materials. Young adventurers somehow tend to consider this a very simple request. But the reality is different."

"Why not? As long as we know where it's growing, we don't have to fight demons."

That's what Farri said, so Lorraine shook her head while acknowledging certain reason for that response.

"That's right. But that's why it's so hard. First of all, we don't know where it's growing, unless we know better about the nature of that plant. Otherwise I can't find a single strain searching the woods for a day, oh my god it can normally happen. Newbies who know nothing are probably prone to that. It may even be wrong at the time of receipt of the request in the first place. Plants vary depending on the season. Sometimes such a request is posted in a season that can't be taken. If you take it unknowingly, you may be charged a penalty later."

There are various reasons why such a request may be posted.

First of all, as a spiteful thing, you may dare to make such a request and try to get a penalty from a newbie who knows nothing.

Malt's Adventurers' Union "Guild" is solid around it, or conscience, so it plays when a request to say so comes, but the general Adventurers' Union "Guild" has a lot of ways of doing things like not barking up the content of the request, but judging it by the adventurer, so it's a hell of an eye if you don't train your eyes around it.

However, it's not like such malts or out-of-season plant collection requests will ever be posted.

That's the type of request that, for some reason, when you want that plant somehow, even out of season, you bring it with you, after offering a fairly incremental reward compared to normal cases.

Sometimes even malt is posted about this without being particularly played, and it is a mechanism to read the requisition carefully or to know that it is such a request if you listen closely to the official.

However, newcomers sometimes think about and accept requests like this, which are simply some kind of easy plant collection but oddly rewarding lucky requests.

At the end of the day, it's still a penalty.

Adventurers needed knowledge to get rid of these things.

Lorraine continues.

"Besides, even if you're lucky enough to find a plant, that's not all you can do,"

"If you found it, wouldn't you just dig it back and bring it?

Lili responds to Lorraine's words with the utmost commonality.

But Lorraine shook her head.

"I can't always say that. Plants are creatures for better or worse. It is not often said that I can't pick it up when I take it home when I process it wrong. When that happens, I worked so hard all day that I didn't even get a piece of copper coin, what a thing to do."

"Oh, because the method of collection changes depending on what use you use it for."

To Lorraine's words, Lili seemed to know better, but Farri seemed to be learning from a pharmacist on a boulder, and she came pinning.

Lorraine nods.

"Exactly. For example, if you want each strain to be brought, you must take it firmly from the roots. I dig back at every piece of dirt around me, wrap it in a cloth, and I'll need the work I said... Not so, just how many leaves in a fresh state, and in some cases, when you dig the whole thing back and take it, it shrivels in the middle of it. If you do it the right way, and you don't just take the leaves, it doesn't make sense. There's so much more to remember about cutting branches, taking fruit, blooming time, and collecting even one plant."

Lorraine also learned these things from Lent.

Lorraine had a lot of that knowledge in her book, but she lacked a small part of the practice and was taught to walk through the woods with Lent.

That is still alive and quite useful for the work of scholars.

And Lent also knew that because he was probably being taught by Pharri's learned pharmacists, so then Pharri's teacher, the pharmacist, would say that he was also, retroactively, Lorraine's teacher.

... I have to say hello later.

I thought so.

"That's why. Apart from demons, adventurers have a lot to do. And the most dangerous thing is this guy."

That's what Lorraine said, pointing to Giant Skeleton, a blurry bone giant.

Nothing in the eyes of cancer, but it just makes me horribly intimidated there.

How dangerous would it be if the authenticity of this really existed in front of you, and if you stormed out with all your strength?

I was so horrible that I thought so.

"... with this stuff, Lent fights every day..."

Lili murmured with respect and awe.

Lorraine tried to say to Lili's words like that, no, she hasn't fought every day, but she rethinks and says that this place should give a different response in Lent's honor.

"Oh. Right. And I've won everything. He's a great guy."

With Lent here, I would have shouted for sure, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't mind saying whatever you want...... but I'm allowed to say this much.

In the first place, Rent right now would probably manage to fight every day for as much as the bone giant Giant Skeleton if he wanted to.

He's got the strength to come hunting for Tarask normally.

Lorraine thought so and decided to invoke the phantom of the next demon.

"Others, Lent is fighting such demons..."

Then, the beauty of the bone giant Giant Skeleton disappears, and instead, the Talask giant appears on the spot.
