Three of the "Sage's Treasure Crowns" that arrived at the "Dragon's Fire" are welcomed by three men: Medes, Edgar, and Raul.

Six people quickly moved on to business.

"This time, not only the" Sage's Treasure Crown "but also the" Guardian of the Magic Tree "came.If you want to use a medical record as a priority, you'll need to increase the price for that. "

Medes said with a usual smile.

(Fufufu. I didn't expect two major guilds at this time of year.You're lucky. Squeeze this out as much as you can on the machine....)

"Hey, the Guardians of the Magic Tree were about to join the Spirit Factory Alliance."

Neil said.

Pyo?

Medes makes a strange noise.

"In the Spirit Factory Alliance?Why are you doing this again.... "

Edgar said really strangely.

"It seems that the leader of the Spirit Factory has the Guardian of the Magic Tree and the Pipe."

Ian said.

"What? Really?

"Yes, I was curious, and I was listening in the square.Didn't you know?

"What? No. Well, I don't know what to say."

Medes is completely in trouble.

"So? What do you think?Did you accept the request under the conditions I presented?Can't you take it? "

Neil got stuck.

"What? Of course I'll take it.Let me take it.There is no reason why we should refuse a proper guild like yours. "

Medes told me to fix it in haste.

Neil frowned like that.

(Damn it, they're okay.Collect as much information as your local rival Alliance.I've been thinking about it for a long time, but haven't you slipped through the management here?After all, Raul is the only one this guild can use.)

"Well, no.I'll take care of it, Raul.Make sure you get the magic workmanship gear as usual. "

"What? Ah, ahh."

When Neil called out, Raul replied as if she had lost her mind.

Looking at it, Neil was stunned.

(Whoa, Raul. Until now, what's your unconscious attitude?

"Raul, what's wrong?It doesn't look good. "

Ian asked anxiously.

"Ah, no. Nothing."

While saying that, Raul was worried.

(I didn't expect Lisetta to quit.

He's a good silver mechanic.It's okay. I don't have to stop it.But I'm doing my best right now....)

The Euphines who arrived at the "Spirit Factory" were appraised by Lorraine.

Roland checks everyone's condition quickly.

"Nh. You haven't fallen into practice yet.Well done. I'm looking forward to working for the Fire Dragon Dungeon. "

"Yes, then, everyone leave their gear with the Alchemist.Then you can relax in the dining room in front of you. "

When Euphine said so, the crew took it easy and began to take off their equipment.

"Well then, the" Guardian of the Magic Tree "party.Please come to the table.I'm renting it out for everyone today ~ "

Saki shows up and entertains the crew.

"Euphine, Shakuma, Rick, Lerio, Marina.You guys stay here and we'll talk about this dungeon. "

Local adventurers, such as Leon, Hans, and Will, who were expecting them soon, started meeting.

"As for the dungeon, the real challenge is how to deal with the Sage's Treasure Crown."

Roland writes on the blackboard the names of three Class A wizards who belong to the "Sage's Treasure Crown".

"Attack Mage Glenn Ross, Support Mage Neil Dioclay, Healer Ian Yugberg.Both had the feeling of being a typical Class A magician with skills and stats.After a standard training and a standard quest, I brought nature and talent to life.It's like that. "

"Elite."

Leon laughed bitterly.

Born and raised, he had no connection to the world.

But I also found weaknesses.

"Have you done that already?"

(In that short period of time, we need to deal with this trend and countermeasures.After all, this guy's not a regular appraiser.I'm counting on you.

"Their weakness is that none of these three are capable of directing.All at the most average level.This is true of any Alliance, and it can't be helped, but those with high skills and combat abilities tend to also serve as commanders.Probably the same with the "Sage's Treasure Crown".It's too strong, so I overbelieve in our power.Probably 'Guardian of the Magic Court' will attack the dungeon with skill and power gorilla tactics. "

Roland adds the words "Brain Muscle" and "Gollipop" to the blackboard.

"Here's another advantage.I've already finished procuring Earth Craft. "

"A few forceful armies would be fine."

Lelio said.

"That's right. Enemy weaknesses and this analysis is good enough.Which route do we take next? "

Roland added two paths to the blackboard.

"Road to Crater Route" and "Road to Lake (Lake Route)".

"The 'Treasure Crown of the Wise' will definitely take the 'Road to the Crater Loot' first.Last time the Knight of the Shock arrived, we avoided competing with an outside guild and took the "Lake Loot".But this time, we also choose the "crater route".I'm going to compete with the Sage's Crown from the front. "

"The Guardian of the Magic Tree came to reinforce me.I don't want to take advantage of this opportunity. Do you have any hands? "

"That's not true, Leon.Without the Guardian of the Magic Tree, I was going to compete with the Treasure Crown of the Wise. "

The local adventurers groaned at Lorraine.

Euphine and the others are flat.

"First, take out all the" earthcraft "distributed in the" crater route ".This will reduce your competitiveness from your enemies and take the Sage's Treasure Crown out of the Crater Route. "

The moon changed and new ore was exposed in the dungeon.

Led by the "Spirit Factory" Alliance and the "Sage's Treasure Crown", the Grand Alliance begins preparations for exploration in the square before the dungeon.

In the meantime, Ellio and the others were receiving equipment to crush A-Class monsters.

"This will be Ellio's new gear.Hey there. "

The armor that Eina and Roddy brought in front of Ellio alone sparkled silver, in addition to the blue "exterior reinforcement (coating)."

I applied a blue "exterior reinforcement (coating)" to the armor made of Chial's silver workmanship.

When Ellio puts his body through the new armor, a different dimension of weight is transmitted.

(I'm losing it. Is this the weight of class A?)

"It's more powerful and durable than the previous one, but it's getting heavier.How's it going? Is there a problem with weight?

"Yeah, I'm not used to it yet, but I'm sure I can use it."

A new bow and arrow was also carried under Hans.

Like Ellio's armor, it's made of silver.

"Based on Hans' shooting records, we are working to increase the power and accuracy of Magic Shots whenever possible."

Hans remembered what Lorraine told him as he received his bow and arrow.

(Spiritually. I am the one with the most anxiety about this challenge.After Alice and Claire were taken prisoner in the last battle with the White Wolf)

"Thank you, Aina. I'll try it anyway."

(Fight this bow and arrow against the "Sage's Treasure Crown."Find answers there)

Will and Carla received a wand and sword from Wayne.

Will touched the magic stone on the cane.

A huge amount of magic comes from the magic stones cut into polyhedrons.

"I'm surprised. You raised your arm a long time ago, Wayne.It's not like the cane I got earlier. "

Will said that he was impressed.

Carla shakes the sword she received.

(Light. Is this light enough for you?

"It was further lightened by" Magic Stone Cutting "on a sword forged up to Class A.By sharpening the sword to the limit, lightening it increases the flavor of slashing together. "

Carla was surprised and Wayne started explaining.

"That sword will increase the power of your Shadow Strike and Sword Dance.You guys. "

Wayne squeezes both shoulders.

"Please. Use this equipment.I don't want to bother Roland any more. "

Will and Carla looked at each other strangely.

Euphine is finally checking out their troops, and someone is approaching from the "Treasure Crown of the Wise" and calling out.

"Hello, Reyes."

"You must be... Ian."

"You remembered.It's an honor. "

Well, that's the ace of the rival guild.We'll need a check.What can I do for you?

When Euphine heard that, Ian did not answer it and turned to the adventurers who were preparing.

"This atmosphere is unique to this island.Hegemons from different continents line their shoulders into the dungeon.But this is a strange sight.Local adventurers on the island are partnering with outside adventurers.We've collected just as many Sage's Treasure Crowns as the Local Adventurer Alliance, but there's as many under you.Does collecting this large area mean you're still aiming for the "Crater Route"?

"I can't say that.Confidential. "

……

"If you're here to talk, I'll let you go.I look like this, I'm busy. "

"Roland Gill"

On that name, which came out of Ian's mouth, Euphine stopped and looked back.

"As the leader of the" Spirit Factory "Alliance, I have raised many alchemists and adventurers. I am a known S-Class appraiser.It is said that he also played an important role as a shadow actor in the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" and the "Golden Eagle" hegemony struggle in the "City of Adventurers".It was Lorraine who found you in the "Wide Range Healer."Isn't it? "

"... I'm surprised.Did you know about Mr. Roland?

"No, I've been doing research since I came to this island.Originally, I heard rumors about S-class appraisers, but I didn't believe them.I didn't think a single appraiser could do that much work.I've only been able to corroborate this by examining your connection to the Spirit Factory in the last few days. "

"... you have a great ability to investigate."

(If Neil is the leader of The Sage's Treasure Crown, then he's the Shadow Proven.)

"So? What the hell are you doing looking into us and Roland like that?Just now. "

"Okay. Let me be blunt.Would you stop competing and join hands?

"Excuse me?

"I want you to think about it.This will crush between the Guardian of the Magic Tree and the Treasure Crown of the Wise.Who would have earned it?The White Wolf. "

……

"Last time we came to this island, we had to compete with a big guild.At that time, the opponent was a guild based in the same city as us called "Guardians of the Magic Academy", but only in the same village did they pull each other's feet out of rivalry.As a result, neither of them yielded a fragrant result.Both the "Sage's Treasure Crown" and the "Guardian of the Magic Academy" argued prominently that it was each other's fault, but it was the local guild's "White Wolf" who actually profited from the fishermen.Now I think we were being moved to their advantage where it needed to be. "

……

"The Champion of the Wise and the Guardian of the Magic Academy were rival guilds at their roots, so there was no room for compromise.But we're not. It's not too late now.If only we could negotiate, join hands, and win quests together..... "

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

"... why?

"Our mission is to support Roland.The Roland is telling us to fight you, so we'll just follow his instructions.I don't have any particular grudges against you. "

"You've only just arrived on this island, so you may not know, but the White Wolf is dangerous to them.They're cunning, and they don't miss our gap.But as long as we combine..... "

"I've heard about the dangers of the White Wolf.But they're not the only ones Mr Roland is alert to."Dragon Fire."Thank you, Mr. Lorraine has a problem with them, doesn't he?You're letting Dragon Fire equip you, aren't you?Will you join hands with us now to cut off the "Dragon Fire"?

"That's...."

"That's why we can't team up with you.I'm sorry. "

I see.

Ian waved with a sigh.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were someone who could talk.Fighting "Dragon Fire"?That Roland only seems crazy.You'll regret it.But I trusted the appraiser's judgment so much. "

"You'll regret it later, but you won't know."

"What? What do you mean?

"There are people in the world that you can't measure."
