The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Burn incense constantly.

With Grandpa Gark at the forefront, Mariela, Sieg enters the labyrinth. Mariella, who can't fight, is the one who burns the incense of the exorcism. The incense of the exorcism is made from the dry powder of Bromomintera, not as good as the exorcism potion, but the weak demon does not come. It's easy to make, and the bulk of the ingredients are planted inside and outside the labyrinth city, so most people make their own. During the labyrinth's bustling expedition, the children of the orphanage are also seen caged in incense and walking for sale near the entrance to the labyrinth.

Time is close to midnight and no child is seen outside the labyrinth, but it will be unique during the expedition that there are adventurers entering and leaving the labyrinth with potpouts despite the time when demons are enlivened.

There are only two guard soldiers at the entrance to the labyrinth, and entry and exit are not restricted, except for children who try to enter in with play. Soldiers on watch say that the primary duty is to liaise when things happen.

According to Zeke's explanation, labyrinths outside of labyrinth cities require a labyrinth admission fee, or some of the materials and demonic stones obtained even when exiting need to be paid as taxes. In labyrinth cities, taxes are applied to items to be taken out of the city, and taxes are not applied to items to be used in labyrinth cities. Incidentally, there is no tax on the items that are brought into the labyrinth city, but due to the difficulty of travelling to and from the labyrinth city, the items that cannot be self-supplied in the labyrinth city are chronically thin.

Even though it's dark outside without a moon, the inside of the labyrinth is thin and bright. There are blurry, glowing rocks called moonstones all over the rock walls that remind me of the cave, and I can barely go on without the lights. Nevertheless, his vision is bad enough to fight demons and collect herbs, so Grandpa Gark hangs his dark-eyed goggles, while Mariela has Zeke hanging his dark-eyed magic (dark sight).

Grandpa Gark goes down the labyrinth more and more as he knocks down the oblivious demons dull to the smell of the occasional appearance of goblins, slimes, and raises with a double axe. Since the enemy from behind has also been defeated by Zeke at some point, Mariela observes the labyrinth as she adds an exorcism incense to the perfume furnace with her handles.

The stairs across the labyrinth hierarchy are concentrated in the central part of the labyrinth, making it easy to move the hierarchy. This staircase, he said, appears when he defeats the hierarchy lord, who is somewhere in each hierarchy.

Mariella was a little frightened when she thought of the Lord of the inexperienced labyrinth as he lay down his servant hierarchical lord and went straight down to eat the basement.

"Ahead. I'll use sleeping balls, so put on your mask.

As instructed by Grandpa Gark, Mariella and Sieg wear masks that smudge the neutralizer. Grandpa Gark was thrown a sleeping ball that lit a gap in the rock. Because the thin luminous moonstone is located in perfect balance, at first glance it looks like a rock connection, or there is enough clearance for an adult to pass close by. The only thing narrow was the entrance, which inside was a passage the same size as the passage of the labyrinth.

Following Grandpa Gark, Mariella went inside a little.

(Snakes everywhere......)

It's small as a demon, but a snake fell all over it after falling asleep.

"You've grown a lot, do you want to make a little mistake?

That's what Grandpa Gark said, he went to the back as he slipped the snake. The little snake steps on his head and the big snake drops his neck at Axe. The majority of the labyrinth demons die and for a while, the contours blur and diminish, and the wreckage disappears to melt.

They say it's because magic hardens and occurs, and they haven't received meat yet.

If you live longer, your magic concentrates and resides in demonic stones, or parts of your body are flesh-received, and when you defeat them, you get them as material.

The snakes here are still young and weak as demons, so most of them disappear without leaving anything behind, but the larger individuals rarely left behind the earlier small demonic stones and fangs of their nails. Fangs are inexpensive for how much per bag, but they can help with pain relief. Grandpa Gark knocks down the serpent on the path and Mariella picks up the demon stone and fangs. Sieg cuts off a diminutive snake as he guards Mariela.

The passage of the serpent was bent in the S-shape, and from the entrance it was seen at the end, but when the first corner was bent, an exit with thin light was seen.

The snakes didn't seem to like this light, and as they approached the exit, the numbers became smaller.

At the end of the serpent's passage was a bright and pioneering place. The ceiling is high enough to blow through in a space that doesn't seem to reach the edge in less than ten seconds if you run. The walls and ceilings are lit with moonstones, like starry skies.

The foot is full of grass at one knee length, with lots of gentle light-emitting buds.

Flowers once every 1000 days, a thousand night moon flowers.

With the light emitted by the buds of the Thousand Night Moon Flowers spreading across my feet, it's like I've stepped down to the full moon.

"It's about time."

Thousand night moonflowers blossom, as if waiting for Grandpa Gark's voice.

The buds open so that they can play, and grains of light dance from inside.

Pom, Pom, Pom.

In one flower after another, the rising particles of light rise loosely to the ceiling, even though there are no wings, a fantastic beauty.

"Oh, my God, beautiful.

To Mariella staring at me by surprise,

"Pick it or you'll die."

And Grandpa Gark speaks up.

Thousand Night Moonflower Flowers are ineffective as buds, and when opened, they immediately wither away. It's a shame we can't enjoy this beautiful sight, but it's a precious material that we only get once a thousand days. The three of us picked the petals the moment they blossomed and left them in a bag.

Did you pick half of it? Even though there were still a lot of moonflowers left in the thousand nights, Grandpa Gark called to tell me that I was leaving in a hurry. That's when I ran into the snake aisle.

Bala, bala, bala.

A large quantity of pebbles poured down the square.

"Ooh, that was critical.

Grandpa Gark laughs delightfully. The rising grains of light pollinated the sky, turning it into seeds and descending. They said the seeds were in pointy shape to stab the hard ground of the labyrinth, and if they kept blurring and collecting, they almost seedlings.

"The only time I can get into that room is a thousand nights when the moonflower blooms. Other than that, it's a snake's nest.

The serpent in the aisle may have fled the seeds of the moonflower a thousand nights ago. Boulders are labyrinth plants. Mariella thought it was very pretty but not funny.

Mariella and the others tried to give Grandpa Gark half of the Thousand Night Moon Flowers they had collected, but he was praised for "collecting them for the most part." What's so cool about that?

"I'll show up at the store again, so why don't you serve me some tea?

Without receiving the snake's demon stone or fangs, I looked up at Grandpa Gark's back as he went home.

"We're not a coffee shop -!

And Mariela waved.
