The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

"Hmm... you guys were twins?

"Oops!! I'm your brother, Shiki is your brother."

Lizardman Ichi slaps his chest proudly.

I don't know where my brother prides himself...

"What are you talking about... I'm your brother, I warmed your eggs"

"You must be the mother who warmed the eggs, but don't say the right thing... though they would have come from the same eggs in the first place!!

"It's not appropriate!! I warmed it from the inside of the egg properly."

Shiki differs from Ichi's statement.

The two are too alike, and I have no idea which one is just the look.

I'm judging one by the fluctuations of magic that leak out of my twin bodies.

Lew, the leader, says these two are always rubbing with which is their brother, but he says this contention will sedate if left alone, so I'll leave them alone.

I'm arguing about this, but these twins are never bad friends.

Either way, you won't have a problem with these guys if you call them by name.

"Well... and which request to take... any hope, Alberto?

Lew, who was talking to the mercenary guild receptionist at Dark Elf, asks me and the twin Lizardman, who were getting intimate behind it.

"I can do anything... I'll leave it to Lew. This is nali, but I'll take care of it when it comes to combat."

There's nothing I can do other than work in combat and magic.

I want to do more.

I don't know a little bit about alchemy, but it's a thousand and five hundred years old.

If I had time, it might not be a bad idea to find out what happened now.

"That's a lot of confidence, then make it this... it's only noon and you'll be back in the evening"

Lew takes the requested paper and orders it at the reception.

I was bored, but I was able to get my request.

Oh, boy.

The receptionist, Mr. Dark Elf, seemed to care, and he said, "I'm glad".

This time, our order was to collect the egg shells of the strange bird Cocatrice.

Cocatrice is a demon with a bird's body about three metres long and a snake's tail.

In addition to its high combat ability, it also mounts a more powerful petrified attack on its mouth.

It's a monster worse than Wyburn in a way.

Well, it's none of my business to be tolerant.

Sometimes I get scared of being who I am without a weakness.

There is a swamp on the south side of the city of Farah, but until a short while ago a herd of cocatris was gathered for breeding at this time.

I was there... and it's only in the past, and the guild story is that the eggs are considered hatched at the moment.

The purpose of this request is to collect egg shells, not crusade requests.

Cocatrice egg shells are treasured in the creation of weapons, etc.

When the shell is mixed in when generating weapons and protective equipment, the strength of the weapon increases slightly, making it less likely to be damaged.

By the way, why is a request to collect egg shells a request in a group, not an individual?

That is mainly due to the fact that the egg shell is so heavy that it cannot be transported by itself.

The shell is also thick by a centimeter, and there are fifty kilos per egg.

I often think that Parent Cocatrice can fly.

After laying her heavy eggs, her parents, Cocatrice, seem to soon travel elsewhere with a crisp face.

Are you okay without your parents? You may think so, but chicks without combat abilities are also not afraid of external enemies coming if they have a hard egg shell.

By the time they come out cracking eggs on their own, the chicks have already grown to a certain level.

Exit the south gate of Farah and continue along the wetlands towards the swamp with the Lizardmans.

So far so close to the swamp.

Due to the characteristics of the request, it is easy to get there but hard to return with a lot of luggage.

I wish I had the item box that Reese has, but I have a handful of rare items like that.

Don't expect that from the average mercenary.

I don't know what to say instead, but it's a two-hour journey one way, so there's no need to prepare for a big deal.

Heavy Duty Cocatrice Shell...... I wish I could have used a luggage car but in the wetlands it is difficult to travel by luggage.

It would be easy to pack it directly into a bag and take it with you on your shoulders.

In order to fulfill the request, we will be divided into hauliers, escorts and opponents.

Carriers can't fight, so some of them have to escort carriers when demons arrive, not to mention as opponents.

Fortunately, a crack doesn't fail the request, but the reward goes down.

The larger the shell, the more magic it contains, and the higher the buying price of the guild per shell weight.

By the way, I am currently playing the role of demonic foe.

Enemy or radar clerk…, a clerk who detects surrounding demons with magic sensation and informs Lizardman.

Because Lizardman is somewhat good at melee and not good at handling magic, Gargoyle's me is qualified as an opponent.

I can't defeat my enemies if I can't use magic sensing because of my poor vision.

That's why I'm serious about work!

I have to do the least I can do.

I don't get paid.

"Ichi! Shiki! One by one demonic reaction to the left and right bushes...... maybe Big Cobra, watch out!!

"" Oh!!

There are many wetlands and snake-based demons around here.

Cocatrice eats snake-based demons in preference... it seems to have that background that this neighborhood is chosen as a spawning place.

The basic Lizardman is in charge of the combat act.

I don't care if I'm in charge of combat, well, if it makes it easier, either.

You can help him if he's in danger.

He may have used his outlook to make me look weak as an opponent.

But you're a little free...

"Lew!!

"Answer!!

"Hehe... I just wanted to hear your voice"

"Seriously, Gora!!

The lake would be there soon if I was acting like I was joking around with the Lizardmans.

I may feel like I'm kidding, but I'm not out of my hands.

The opponents were very precise and complimented the Lizardmans.

The rewards will be equally divided by the number of people for this.

The demons have come out quite a bit, but the Lizardmans are working together inside, even though the numbers have decreased.

Sequentially destroy the demons that have emerged in danger.

And.....................

"Whoa, I can see the swamp."

"Oh... is that it"

We arrived in the swamp in two hours without any particular problems as planned.

There's really nothing weird about it. It's just a swamp.

There are scattered pieces of gray egg shell-like stuff all around.

Maybe that's the shell of Cocatrice's eggs.

Something big, about a centimeter.

"That's quite a lot, I thought you'd have a hard time collecting more."

"I really wish I had some more big shards, but the big ones seem to have already been recovered..., it would be nice to have more rewards depending on what I bring in, but I can't connect effort with rewards if the quality isn't good because it's heavy anyway"

Lew answers my questions.

"But well, there aren't that many powerful demons around here, and Cocatrice is something of a time. Few of the group requests are dangerous, and the risk of failure is low, so I was wondering if I could make some hard money... and still make about tomorrow's inn and dinner."

"I see."

You're thinking about it and ordering it.

I've only been a leader for years and I'm solid.

All right!!

So let's just collect the egg shells...
