Sevens

Night.

Pinch the yellow-green gem in your finger and look over the gem at the lantern light.

"That's a lot bigger. And it's nicely cut."

About ten centimetres of jewellery was quite beautiful.

Sometimes treasures thus unearthed from the labyrinth can be expensive without having to go in the back.

But that was so hilarious.

The reason I didn't redeem it was because I couldn't decide how to handle the magical gems. It's definitely expensive, but I can't tell how much it's going to cost.

I'm not the only one looking up at the jewels.

Shannon is looking up at the lantern light in the front of the porter. Next to me, looking at the jewels I have.

"That's so beautiful. The magic is amazing, and I've never seen it before. Hey, take it."

"Hahaha, go home"

When I miss the gem, I wave my arms around and push Shannon's head.

Then Nowem called out.

"... Peridot, right?"

When I look back, I shake my neck wondering how long I've been around.

Shannon escaped surprised that Nowem was nearby.

(Is he running away from work again)

While I was stunned by the same Shannon, I took the jewels out of my nostalgia again.

"See?"

Give Nowem a gem.

Nowem received, look at Sole...

"... on the first basement floor, you've got a lot of expensive gems. I heard it wasn't an old labyrinth."

Stored treasures gain rare value with magic in the labyrinth.

Shannon, who can see magic with his eyes, said he'd never seen it, so it would be worth it.

(Shannon, maybe there's a way that way. appraiser or something)

Nowem will hand me the jewels.

"What are you going to do with this?

I can't decide how to use it.

"I guess I'm thinking about it. With one of these, it's going to be black even if there's nothing like this. It could be used for something, but even if we look into it, it stands out here."

Nowem gave it to me.

"... shouldn't I leave it with someone?

I shook my head to the side.

"No, it's expensive, so I'll have it. Because I care about leaving it, and it won't even be luggage."

Nowem said something. I did, but he agreed with me that he would smile soon.

The second day I started my labyrinth crusade.

This time, I decided to take Nowem to Clara, and Eva and May to challenge the labyrinth.

Clara is a consecutive participant, but since she is supportive, she is not invited to participate in the fight.

I know it's tough, but it doesn't make any noise to this extent, so I decided to ask you to work hard.

On the way to the labyrinth, I speak to Clara.

"Sorry for two days in a row."

Then Clara...

"No problem. However, the day will change until I return within that day... roughly until the fifth basement. When you do, if you return and try the labyrinth again, you'll need to choose your members carefully."

In the cave.

Stepping into the basement upstairs, the structure in the labyrinth was largely understood.

A narrow passage to fight.

In a cold, watery cave.

The labyrinth doesn't change in size when you go down to the basement.

The presence of bosses on each floor is troublesome, but otherwise it is a labyrinth with low difficulty and relatively easy to attack.

On the first day, exploration is already underway until the third basement floor.

Sometimes the boss doesn't reappear, and it may be too early for key members to launch a full-scale offensive.

"I guess it depends on Mr. Alette. But some labyrinths seem to change dramatically somewhere, so they're going to proceed cautiously around there."

Much we don't know about the labyrinth.

On top of her usual chill-looking outfit, May, weaving her coat, was walking hand in hand behind her head.

"... If I had a day, I could crush it right away?

For May, a creature called the mighty Kirin, this degree of labyrinth seems to be easy to break through.

However, I have trouble even if they do it, so I am going to ask you to be patient this time.

"Be patient. It's noisy to be crusaded right away. After the fifth basement, they're going slowly and carefully, so we're going slowly as well."

Evil There was also a purpose in exploring how the Baym adventurers were doing their job rather than wanting to stand out.

Eva has a short bow in her back hip barrel and is walking forward equipped with a dagger.

He complained about bumps because he wasn't on his own with the woods.

"It's dark, it's hard to walk to it, it's cold... I, I hate it here"

(The woods are dark, and it's hard to walk)

Still, I did my job as an avant-garde.

With skills [map] and [search], I'm going along checking the situation around me, but there's a bunch of adventurer parties coming down.

However, I still don't seem to be able to stay in earnest.

Nowem.

"On the third day, key members will attack the bosses of each tier, right? With the momentum, he wants to free up to the fifth basement."

If you open the basement to the fifth floor, the adventurers you bring will also enter the labyrinth.

If you're lucky, you might get the treasure that the labyrinth drained.

Most of all, from me walking upstairs in the basement, I felt like I had already been stripped of my treasure.

(Wouldn't luck last like the first day)

Even for demons, I felt the number was greatly decreasing.

I guess the adventurers are knocking it around to the money craving to play.

"Do you want to go down to the third basement floor today and check the situation? Tomorrow, Alette and the others will challenge the boss, and I want to do some digging."

Alette is less interested in treasures, etc., but some are obsessed with them.

That's a fight with the boss.

The same goes for fighting in the labyrinth, but Mr. Allette and the others looked uncompromising when it came to fighting.

It is our assertion that if we challenge the boss, we will.

Instead, it allows some freedom as far as anything else is concerned.

The idea is that if we don't even have a deficit, Mr. Arett and the others won't be a problem.

It would also be a big reason to be a limited-time adventurer, not an adventurer from the beginning.

As you walk around checking your surroundings on the map, you'll soon see the staircase leading down to the basement.

As it is, the five of us go down the stairs...

"... this again"

In addition to the preceding Mr. Albano, a fighting party was raging around flashly.

I'm fighting the demons against me.

Clarifying my ears, I could hear the noise sometimes fighting nearby.

When the explosion sounds, I'm a little rushed to see if I used magic.

Eva gave me a disgusting look.

"... hey, it's dangerous when they use magic in such a small place, isn't it?

We don't seem to be involved or worried about ourselves.

May doesn't look like she cared.

"Why don't you just prevent it? More than that, why don't you go par and knock par out and finish? I want to go back to dinner this evening because it's meat."

Nowem pays attention to both of them.

"You should be somewhat careful. Keep this one away from me, too. And you're not coming back for dinner, Mae."

The two, who do not defy Nowem, reply and continue down the aisle.

Clara, look at Sole.

"Mr. Nowem, you're specially liked by subraces."

It reminds me too when I'm told.

(With that said, it looks like Dwarf and Norm would have liked it if I did it when Griffon was exorcised...... no, are you out of your mind?

Though Nowem is hostile to Monica, who is an automaton, he is easily liked by subraces.

(Because Nowem is sweet... that's all, right?

It bothered me, I shake my head and move on.

The second day was safe and I was on my way back under my buddies when I finished the cash exchange.

Seeing the city getting bigger every day makes me wonder if you really intend to build a city.

There are fewer tents and more buildings.

More stores open and more lively.

Out there, I squeal when I see the sight.

This is the Wizard's Village itself.

Clara snorted at my words.

"Right."

Then, Eva did.

"Oh, I know that too."

Nowem nods too, but only one...... May is making me wonder.

"What, that wizard village?"

Then a fifth generation of voices came from the treasure balls.

"Lyell, shouldn't we teach May this place? Teach him kindly and politely. '

Sixth generation says disgust.

"You're really animal friendly."

When I tried to explain, Nowem and Eva were already in motion.

Nowem will briefly explain.

"Once upon a time, a wizard destroyed a village in vain."

Eva shuddered a little.

"Magically solved everything, and good intentions destroyed the village."

May heard it and somehow seemed to understand.

"Oh, you know what? People who can use magic and people who can't... that's how you separate them, isn't it, humans? Let me tell you something, we all use magic."

As we walk through the bustling city, we aim to be underneath our people.

Clara teaches May the details.

"It's the beginning of a visit by one wizard to a poor village, isn't it? He magically retreats the demons and is thankful to the villagers. And wizards live in villages trying to use magic for the villagers."

It's for admonition.

Clara continues.

"The villagers were delighted at first. Wizards use magic for their villages. But by creating farm tools, artisans leave the village."

The reason is that the wizard did them alone, repairing them from the manufacture of farm tools.

So the craftsmen couldn't eat it.

"Next, magically enrich the village. Every year in abundance, and magically, I created iron, silver, and gold. The villagers stopped working."

No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you lose your hand, you are less willing to work in abundance every year. And then the village got rich and taxes were gone.

"Eventually, the villagers will grow and the village will grow. That's what makes the city. It's just that it wasn't enough for a wizard to maintain an overgrown village."

A village that grew beyond its control, but the villagers relied on the wizard for luxury.

The wizard took it for granted to do everything.

"Wizards work hard for the village as far as Hethet as they do every day, but the villagers complain that they are not enough. And the wizard will be the one who falls and doesn't return. That was the problem from there. The villagers who used to rely on wizards have become wealthy and arrogant."

May says in dismay.

"I wish I could go back to my old life"

If I could do that, I wouldn't have a hard time.

Losing the quality of life is quite difficult.

I mean, I was in trouble with Nowem.

Clara tells the end of the story.

"There are no artisans either. The harvest has decreased dramatically, and few people work decently. You can't even pay taxes, and the village will soon be poor. And -"

May seems to have largely guessed.

"- The villagers, in despair, perished from village to village as they were. Not destroyed by thieves and demons, not asking for help. It's just that it was destroyed with the village."

On second thought, I guess the surrounding area didn't help the village that got arrogant remembering the luxury.

There are many reasons, but this lesson...

"I mean, I couldn't keep up with the rapid developments. Enriched by magic, when its magic is gone, it will perish. Good intentions are not always good, and magic is something to think about."

There are not always good wizards either.

When Eva ended up, Clara seemed a little dissapointed.

(... Eva's guy, he took a good spot)

She talks to May pleasantly about whether she is unconscious.

From within the treasure ball, there is a fourth generation voice.

"Lyell, man, shut up and turn to follow."

I spoke to Clara.

"Hey, Clara, what do you think the wizard village is trying to say? In my position, I feel precautions in governing."

Now it's not the lord's trail, but that's how I really think about it.

Clara, listen to me.

"I think that's right, too. From the villagers' point of view, it is also possible not to rely too much on something convenient or forget to thank them. Just..."

"Just?"

"… I sometimes feel that magic is an illusion"

There are as many books, such as books that differ from reader to reader.

In that, Clara seems to feel like magic is something of an illusion.

While walking, Nowem did.

"God's grace, isn't it? Magic and skill, the gift of the last goddess. I guess you didn't need that kind of stuff, though."

When I turned around, Nowem was smiling.

But it just seemed a little sad to me.

- Labyrinth basement, fourth floor.

It was the Albanos who stepped in there.

Day three after starting the labyrinth crusade.

Defeat the boss on the fourth basement floor, and Aretto and the others will appear after the Albanos who have moved on.

Albano whistled when he saw the knights, even after the battle, who showed no fatigue.

"My sisters like to get rid of my boss in such heavy armor."

To Albano with a light tone, Alette, with her helmet off, jokes back without changing her expression.

"The knight's armor is the same as naked. Excited, Albano"

With that said, Albano laughs a lot.

"Don't be with that crate bastard, sister! Now, do you need directions to the boss of this hierarchy like this?

Alette sees the surrounding members.

"... right. Find us a room where we can rest. If you guys find the boss, let me know. If you're going to struggle with demonic extermination, you can let your men handle it."

I'm telling the Albanos to find a place, but the Albanos were laughing.

Because it was more convenient for both of us.

If Alette and the others accompany them, defeat the demons and find the chest, the amount will be halved.

Then the Albanos have no taste.

"Nice. I knew I was going to have a good relationship with my sister. The treasure we found belongs to us."

Alette is a little frightened.

"Leave him with the others for a little while. If you take everything, your grievances will remain right for you. It's not a treasure, it's a battle. I hope you guys like it when I find it. I'll just take the treasure between the depths."

Alettes who are going to defeat the boss in the deepest part of their lives, but they also had all that strength.

The Albanos were not tired because they had acted so far with the Alettes. When I walk out, I wave.

"Oh, we can't do it, and until then, I'll let you earn some money by claiming a chest. What, shall I set you up with a trap before the deepest part? I'll make sure you stay out of my way."

Alette laughs at Albano's jokes.

"It's not necessary. If you have a party to get us out of here, you're welcome. I'd rather have the boss defeated before we do. Okay, please."

"Leave it to me!

As the Albanos rushed out, they quickly lost sight of themselves.

One of the knights gets confirmation from Alette.

"Are you sure, Captain? They're rumors of former bandits."

Alette smiled and saw a knight, a subordinate.

"So what's up? The Albanos need it for the purpose of crusading the Labyrinth. That's why I use it. That's all right. Besides, Beim is not my country. You don't have the authority to take down criminals."

The knight seems unhappy. I guess he hates the former bandits Albano.

Aret to such a subordinate.

"A noble thing is a good thing. But be a little more flexible."

The knight takes confirmation with Alette.

"Captain Aretto, are you going to pull Albano out?

The purpose of the Arets.

It is also the recruitment of human resources. The aim was not just for the Knights, but for the Arets to bring talented people back to their country.

But...

"I want to get along at Baym. It's just that in Baym, yeah. I can't use it because I have a strong head in the crate. The marina is a lone wolf. I'm afraid we haven't found the talent yet, but we don't have Albano."

Excellent, but unconscious because of the problem. And it was also the Albanos who were too greedy and causing problems with their surroundings.

He was coming to Baim to train the next main force, the Knights face.

It was also Alette's homeland tradition.

There are mighty enemies around us, a situation that cannot be distracted.

As a result of their desire for power, it was the conclusion drawn by Aret's fatherland that the knights would gain experience as adventurers.

It is also Alette's job to train and sharpen his noble men.

(Well, I wonder if interesting talent will come out this time)

There was only one person I expected, Alette, that came to mind.
