Four of the cartels looked difficult in front of the armor placed on the workbench.

This armor was taken from the retailer.

The crest of "The Spirit's Factory" is engraved.

"Is this the armor made by Class A Alchemist Eina Burke from The Spirit's Factory?"

"At first glance, armor without any weird philosophy... Hey, check it out."

"Yes."

Appraisers' Item Appraisal 'the armor.

[Armor Status]

Power: 70

Endurance: 70

Weight: 50

SPECIAL EFFECT: 'Flexibility'

"Hmm. Seventy power, seventy endurance."

"Class B equipment."

"Class B with this thickness and weight? At best, I think it's Class C."

Charles questioned.

"It doesn't even start when you say a mess. You'll see in one shot."

Edgar wields a hammer and strikes.

But the armor doesn't scratch one.

Instead, Edgar blushed unconsciously in recoil.

"... Ouch."

The other three look surprised.

"Stupid. This hammer should have a power of 70. I can't believe I can't get one scratch on this level of armor..."

"Risetta, try attacking me with your Fire Spear."

"Yes."

Lisetta holds the Fire Spear in her hand.

When you poke the armor with a brilliantly red glowing blade tip, the surface of the armor starts to melt with a juicy sound.

But a dripping green liquid overflowed from the inside.

"What is this?

"Is this... paint?

"Hmm. I don't know how it works, but apparently this paint is the secret to bottoming up your status. Probably a unique skill."

That's how Raul analyzes it.

"Class B status with class C lightness. I've never seen anything like this..."

"It's the power of S-level appraisers who can find skills like that."

Raul said.

"And this is what's in circulation for commercial use. If it's for adventurers who are partnering with" The Spirit's Factory, "it could be more powerful."

"According to the White Wolf guys, all the adventurers in the Spirit Factory alliance wore blue armor."

"In short. At least class A equivalent power to destroy Eina Burke's armor? Or it means we need a special attack. Risetta, this time you lead the Spirit Factory crush."

"Yes."

"Hey, wait a minute. I can make A-Class gear, too."

Edgar objected.

"You saw the experiment earlier. Lisetta's Fire Spear (Javelin), which can be dissolved with heat, is more effective in this armor than a normal attack. Give it up this time."

"Knock."

Edgar holds his mouth without being able to argue while looking unhappy.

Doing so, the entrance door opened and Medes came in.

"Hey. Are you guys doing it right?

The four of the cartels saw about Medes with cold eyes.

They ended up not being able to procure 'Ore to Play Fire (Firerest)' as a foothold.

The four of us have already put our mouths together and decided not to let Medes pinch one for this operation.

"What's going on with the" Spirit Factory "crusher? I guess it's going right, huh? Look, I'm gonna make sure the young man in that condition sees things. Hmm? What, you guys got those eyes? Are you complaining? Hey, why aren't you responding? Hey, where's everybody going? Wait. Why ignore it? Do something, you guys!

Seagulls across the sea descend to the docks.

Loran had come to the harbor to drop Monica off.

Her vacation is almost over.

For that reason, we must return to the City of Adventurers by the end of the day on board.

"Bye, Mr. Loran."

"Yeah. Be well."

"When will I see you next?

Monica said lonely.

"I don't know. Because all the work here is going to break a little bone. I think we're a little ahead of us to go back to The City of Adventurers."

"... right"

"Be well. You do well in The City of Adventurers, too. Don't blunt your arms."

"Yes."

The two embraced each other and exchanged kisses.

That's how the ship slips into the harbor.

Monica had already completed the boarding process, so all she had to do was board the ship.

On board the ship, he looked out of the deck and waved towards Loran.

Loran also keeps waving toward the ship he's going away from.

Eventually, the ship disappeared beyond the horizon.

"... Well"

I don't have much time to be immersed in sentiment.

Loran returned to the city to prepare for a new battle.

The next day, it was officially announced at the Quest Reception that Monica had crusaded Class A monsters.

The city people, as usual, sought her out to be saved by a class A adventurer from outside the island, but dropped a dismal shoulder when they found out that she had already left the city.

After breaking up with Monica, Loran headed to a meeting with Leon.

When I get to the tavern, Leon, who has already tilted the cup, waves at me.

"You were taken care of in the recent Ore Playing Fire (Firerest) acquisition quest. I'll be grateful."

"I'm glad you did well. So, how's everyone doing after that?

"Oh, thanks to you, I saved you. All the guild people who joined the alliance are going to be moistened and able to continue their work. Some of them were improving their skills."

"Right. That's good."

"But I'm tired. I didn't know you had the experience of commanding troops."

"Ha. Not yet."

"I can count on you for anything. Keep up the good work."

"That's right..."

Loran cut out after a quick look around.

"The Knight of the Shore is coming to this island."

"Oh, that's the first unit, too. Always a bunch of wealthy men from the North. Among them, a man named Sendrick is a class A adventurer. On a personal level of strength, there won't be any enemies on this island. Quickly, the islanders are making a leap to form an alliance with the Knight of the Shoals."

"So? What are you going to do as a 'dawn shield'?

"Regardless, I'll give priority to the Spirit Factory quest. It's about you. You're thinking about the next thing, too, right?

"Oh, of course."

"I knew it. So? What are you going to do as a" Spirit Factory "in the future?

"Fight the Shogun Knight from the Front"

"Become..."

"What if I said so?

Loran grinned invincibly.

"... is that a joke? You don't have to say much. Damn......"

Leon rushes to see if there are any 'Knight of the Shots' adventurers around, then howls and mouths the booze.

"Ha. Well, no kidding at all."

"Buh. Gohohohohoho"

Leon choked unexpectedly.

"Leon, are you okay?

"I said it's okay... That's what I want to hear. Are you insane? I can't believe we bumped into each other from the front."

"No matter, sanity. I think I can compete with Shogun at all. [M] Spring with you."

(This guy..., where the hell is this confidence coming from...)

"So? What about you guys? Whether or not you are willing to confront the Knight of the Shore directly..."

"No, I don't know, it's too early for anything, I guess?

"Hmm. Right..."

Loran then tried to ask the same question to "Heavenly Horse Arrow," but the answers he came back with were similar.

And it turns out that most guilds who joined the 'Spirit Factory' alliance in the first place seemed to want to join the 'Knight of the Shadows' alliance, making it impossible to form large units like the last one.

They still seemed to think it would be more beneficial to work with adventurers coming from outside the island, although they placed a certain amount of trust in the equipment of The Spirit's Factory.

Partnerships with "Spirit's Factory" also remained in three guilds: "Guardian of Ore", "Silver Eagle Alliance" and "Bobcat".

Having felt that the island's adventurers' dependence on the outside was still strong, Loran decided to send letters to Lillianne and Range requesting assistance.

Loran himself, on the other hand, decided to go back to "The Spirit's Factory" and sort out the information.

In Loran's head was the figure of Medes, whom he had visited the other day.

Suppose his visit was aimed at buying 'Ore Playing Fire (Firerest)'...

"Fire of the Dragon" may now be more troubled by the lack of "Ore to Play Fire (Firerest)" than he thought.

I wanted to know how much trouble they were having.

Loran asked Pato for his opinion in The Spirit's Factory.

He had already been ordered to explore the trends of "Dragon Fire" and "Shogun Knight".

"Pato, let me know the results of your investigation."

"Yes. 'Dragon Fire' still seems to be plagued by a considerable shortage of ore"

"Again?"

"Yes, it's been quite a week since Shosho's Knight left his gear in The Dragon Fire. but still they have no indication that they can receive the gear. I talked to a couple of adventurers at Shosho Knight, and I was very angry that they wouldn't be back forever after I left my gear."

"Right."

Having gained confidence in his hypothesis after hearing a report from Pato, Loran decided to try to camouflage The Dragon Fire.

Ask Dylan to feed the Flaming Ore (Firerest) to get the information.

Dylan found and talked to the Ore Sourcing Officer for "Dragon Fire" quietly at the nightclub and took it with him as follows:

"There are vendors who have held a large stock of" Fire Ore (Firerest) ". I'm having trouble finding a seller. I'm looking for a guild to buy me out..."

Then the person in charge ate up lightly.

"What!? Is that true? That's a boat over there. We were just in trouble for not having enough Ore to Play Fire (Firerest). We'll definitely buy it."

That's how I was able to know quite accurately about the quantity my opponent needed and the quantity my opponent held while I was putting in an exploration, while rushing about prices and quantities.

The next day, Dylan looked sorry and said:

"I'm sorry about the" Ore Playing the Flame (Firerest) "thing... Looks like the vendor found the buyer first. There's not one left. I'm sorry, but there was no such thing as that."

The person in charge dropped his shoulder and left.

Having received these surveys and reports, Loran was going to consolidate on the measures to be taken in the future after considering the situation and the difference in his power.

"So I decided to drop off this direct confrontation with the Knight of Sho."

Loran said that on the occasion of a meeting that brought together members of The Spirit's Factory.

"Oh, wow."

Wayne replies subtly.

(Direct confrontation with "Shosho Knight"... was this guy seriously motivated? Even though the opponent is an outside major guild, he can't win with a collection of weak guilds on the island)

"Now, just because you avoided a direct confrontation with the Shosho Knight doesn't mean you can escape a confrontation with the Dragon Fire"

While the hospitable air also flowed, the venue for the meeting became once again a tingling atmosphere.

"Because it worked pretty flashy in the last" Spirit Factory "alliance. He'll try to crush this one by putting his back on the boulder. But there are weaknesses over there as well. Pato, Dylan. Report an example."

"Yes, we have just investigated the trend of the Knight of the Shore, which is currently requesting the" Dragon Fire "to develop and manufacture equipment..."

Pato went on to describe a report similar to what he had done to Loran as hard.

"… it can be seen from the above facts that the 'Fire of the Dragon' is currently plagued by a considerable shortage of 'Fire Bouncing Ore (Firerest)'"

"Likewise, I've been exploring with the Ore Procurement Officer for" Dragon Fire "and I found out..."

Dylan similarly reported the findings.

"Mm-hmm. Thank you both. You did a good job researching it. As can be seen from the above investigations, it is an indisputable fact that the 'Fire of the Dragon' is plagued by a shortage of 'Ore Playing Fire (Firerest)'. Therefore, as a" factory of the Spirit ", we want to use this advantage while supporting the Alliance in partnership with the" Shield of the Dawn "to hit the next hand."

"How do adventurers in partnership say it?

Aina asked.

"They also seem to think it's premature to confront the 'Knight of Sho' directly. This time he asked me to put out a quest in a direction that would not compete with the Shogun Knight."

"Ha, ha"

(I'm still saying direct confrontation or something... Mr. Loran, because he's pretty belligerent)

"So this time note would still be the cartel of" Dragon Fire "and the adventurer guild of their parents." Dragon Fire "isn't stupid either. You'll seriously come crush this one in the future. Everyone needs to build better gear than ever before. Especially Aina. You won the A-Class title because of the Dragon Fire. By now, they should be doing research to attack your armor. It could be that the cartel is going to crush all of us."

"The cartel is full..."

Aina swallowed Gokuri and spit.

unprecedented pressure.

For once, even though you've made more gear than Edgar Rogue gear in stats, the intuition is catalog specs.

This was the first serious battle in which the opponent was not alarmed.

"Aina, you make the strongest gear you've ever had. Edgar Rogue's" Black Bow, "Lisetta Rhone's" Fire Spear (Javelin), "and Raul Bartley's" Dragonhead Cage Hand (Dragoon). You can withstand these attacks, equip yourself like that!
