Episode 235: The Strongest Sage, Getting to a Decent Labyrinth City

"Strong at once... Something's too good to talk about, and on the contrary, you feel scared..."

"Is there any reason why it's easy to be strong but you didn't do it before?

That's sharp.

Well, just notice.

"There are also problems.... before your body or magical control grows, if you earn too much experience that way... there's a chance you won't be able to use magic. That's why I didn't teach you until now."

"Can't use magic!?

"Oh. If you have too much magic against magic control, magic becomes out of control and you can't use magic. If you can't use magic, it's harder to build magic control, so if you do poorly, it lasts a lifetime.... I might be able to use chanting magic."

Chanting magic is a system that entrusts all control of magic to auxiliary by chanting.

With that one, you might be able to use magic even if you can't control it at all.

Conversely, it is possible that a human being who has ever been able to use proper magic could fall to the point where magic cannot be used without chanting.

Well, with as much magic as Illis, control can use magic even if it's appropriate.

"You can only use chanting magic, that's not much different than not using magic..."

"Exactly.... The two of us now have enough magic control to handle even with more magic, and we can earn experience while properly identifying the limits."

Just because you've exceeded the amount of magic you can control doesn't mean that you won't be able to use magic at all at that moment.

First of all, magic control gradually becomes less effective, and if it goes too far, it becomes impossible to use magic.

So stop earning EXP where the magic control has fallen and leave.

Easy exit is one of the benefits of a labyrinth with an automatic lift.

"... be careful not to make too much money by mistake!

"The first thing to worry about than that is the strength of the enemies in the 27 tiers..."

Lurii seems anxious, but for the Luriis, who have even fought the Demons many times, the demons of the 27th tier are not powerful enemies or anything.

The enemies of the "Elias Management Labyrinth" 27 hierarchy in the first place are very easy to defeat for the hierarchy.

"Well, we'll decide the details when we get there, because there's a good hunting ground in the Elias Management Labyrinth, apart from the 27 tiers."

"Let's do that!... If I go to The Gambling Labyrinth at this party, it's going to be very profitable!

"... Alma, do you need that much money?

Lurii asked the most questions.

There would be no need for Alma today to make money otherwise.

It's a reward from the King, and there's a lot of stuff I haven't received yet... and I can play and live for hundreds of years just to receive and redeem it.

"It's not like that, but I don't know... my blood as an adventurer is making a scene!

I see.

Indeed, diving into the labyrinth and grabbing a thousand dollars may be the romance of adventurers.

Even in previous life, there were adventurers who dived into the deep hierarchy of the labyrinth for that reason.

... Although in this day and age, there seems to be no tension because just diving into a very shallow hierarchy and hunting appropriately would be a thousand bucks.

With that conversation, we decided to go to the Elias Management Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth City of Elias with the Elias Management Labyrinth is a few hours away from our feet.

If you have time to think about things here, it's quicker to go and then think about them.

"Is this the labyrinth city of Elias..."

Just around lunch.

We were on our way to Elias, the labyrinth city.

"Melchia and I have a very different vibe."

"Well, Merchia was a special situation back then, so I don't know if it's the usual Merchia."

When we went, the labyrinth city of Merchia was badly shaped by the tyranny of incompetent scum lords by hopelessness.

It was already like a magic light to illuminate the city caused an explosion and it was everyday tea and rice that killed people.

Too harsh, so much so that I even suspected the Demons were involved.

In contrast, Elias has a strong feeling about things like a vibrant town of adventurers.

More than half of those walking in town are adventurers, many of whom shine their eyes on hope.

By the way, some adventurers looked depressed... perhaps they were forced to retreat due to lack of strength, incidents, etc. although they went on an adventure paying high usage fees for lifts.

Those parts are just like 'Gambling Labyrinth'.

With that in mind, I see a sign nearby.

The sign said, "400 meters to the labyrinth entrance lift utility."

Underneath it was written about the lift usage fee.

Apparently, the lift usage fee is an amount that put a hundred ermi on the depth of the hierarchy to which it is destined.

By the way, if the destination is less than or equal to three levels, the lift usage fee seems to be free.

Is this a consideration that allows beginner adventurers to practice in shallow hierarchies?

The Adventurer is a customer, even for the Lift Manager.

I guess it means that you want people to survive with solid experience and use lifts rather than being forced to die.

"The entrance looks like that way."

"I heard rumors, but I figured the lift was expensive..."

Considering a family of four can live in about 70 ermi a day, that's certainly not cheap.

Fortunately, our party is well funded.

With the King's permit, maybe you can get it for free... but nothing will get you that far and you won't be ketched.

Let's pay a royalty.

A lift that saves magic and health is handy in order to increase the level.
