As the name suggests in the dossier room, what you have there was not a 'book' but a 'dossier'.

Simple objects that just string together a dozen pieces of paper. It's all handwritten, and it feels like it's falling apart, as well as pictures, not even illustrations.

Kind of a poor minister, but, well, better than no. Do you want to read it from the beginning?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[What is a demon?]

Demons are the generic names of organisms with demonic stones in their bodies.

Because it is harmful to people, it is desirable to crusade if you discover it, but it is also important to have the courage to calmly analyze and sometimes retreat from our forces of war.

There are several other differences between demons and other animals besides demon stones.

One is, struggle.

Animals often do not come under attack unless there is danger to themselves, but demons are different. When you look at people, this one doesn't have to attack you.

Obviously, if this one has a larger number of people, they may escape, but if it's not a high-ranking demon, they don't do a lot of force analysis, so they simply feel safe because they have a lot of people, and so on, they take my feet off.

The other is territorial.

In the case of animals, if a homogeneous animal comes into your territory, you try to kick it out, but in the case of demons, you often form a sidekick party with a homogeneous demon.

Contrary to animals, a different kind of demon tries to repel them when they break into their territory.

As a result, you don't often encounter multiple species of demons in one area.

If more than one demon coexists, there are reasons why those demons have very different ecologies (such as demons operating on earth and demons operating in the sky or in the ground) or different objects to feed.

Note, however, that these do not apply in special environments, such as dungeons.

[Make Money With Demons]

What is sure to be money with demons is demon stones.

Although most of the time it may be in the center of the body on the side of the heart (buckwheat), rarely in the head, it is advisable to ensure that it is secured, as no skill is required for collection, no location is taken, and storage is easy.

There are demons out there that sell meat and skins, like oaks, but they need demolition techniques, so you should learn them from the experience.

If you don't know what part of it is going to be money, the demons you killed because of it could also be throwing away most of it for nothing. If you can afford it financially, buy a magic dictionary or something to preview. Previewing is not only a post-crusade financial aspect, but also leads to improved safety during crusades.

If demons cause any damage, or are expected to do so, a crusade request may be placed on the Alliance.

In that case, in addition to the normal proceeds of sale, crusade remuneration is paid.

Crusade certification may be handled by demonic stones, but crusade certification sites may be required, so it is important to review the request.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm.

Maybe it's common sense for adventurers, but I appreciate this being a good explanation.

The rest is a description of the demons and animals that live around here?

Would you like to read the oak first? It's the most relevant part right now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Oak]

A demon like the one that gianted the pig and walked two legs.

He is over 3 meters long and thick on the side as well. A normal human would die instantly if he ate a decent body.

We should confront each other, bearing in mind that although we are not moving as fast, the attacks launched from that giant are heavy and we avoid them more than we take them.

Besides demonic stones, skin and meat can be sold, so they have the strength to just shoot, and can be described as efficient prey as long as they can carry that giant.

Oak readers are said to exist as the superior species and are born when the oak builds dozens or more nests.

Generally about 1.5 times the size of a normal oak. If it shows roughly strength, it is strong for about 4 regular oaks.

If you're going to confront me alone, I want arms to the point where I can kill you unharmed even if I confront you with four orcs at the same time. Usually it would be safer to surround yourself with multiple people and scrape them one by one while avoiding attacks.

Further superior species are oak captains, oak generals, and oak kings.

Your physique doesn't change as much, but you'd better have thought that its strength would go up four times each.

If you hand poorly because your physique hasn't changed so much, you can definitely turn it into ground beef lightly.

Only by oak captain can we deal with a party with a somewhat higher rank, and if there are any more superior species out there, we should consider a quick retreat.

There are few apparent differences, so if you find a superior species, you should look at the number of oaks around you, and the size of your fangs. Basically, it is said that the fangs are as large as the upper species.

Also, when it reaches or above Oak General, it is most likely to follow the lower species than Oak Captain, so it is immediately understood that it is the upper species. On the contrary, at the time of the crusade, we will confront more than one superior species.

It should be noted that, according to adventurers who have met Oak King, "Once you see it, you know it quickly with intimidation. There's nothing wrong with below Oak General".

However, since this adventurer is at a level where he can meet and survive Oak King, it is uncertain whether a low-ranking adventurer can determine the strength of his opponent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Are there four top species of oak?

4 times stronger... Oak King is for 256 regular oaks!?

Yeah, you're not the kind of enemy I can defeat on my own.

If you magically repeat the sniping from a distance, you might be able to handle it, but if the place isn't so good, you'll be approached and ground before you kill it.

If we're all in this together, can Oak Leader kill us? No, Natsuki could win one. If you're a regular orc, shoot him with one shot, and no matter how strong he is four times stronger, there's no danger that one of them will be surrounded.

Depending on how you do it, can you handle the orc nest too?

I will then read the descriptions of the animals, demons, that are still on the list, but the number on the guide is small.

Should this be thought of as less demons in this neighborhood or, as it first said, 'buy yourself a demon dictionary and study it'......

Finish reading the whole thing and close 'Nearby creatures and demons'.

I don't remember anything other than the characteristic, but since Toya is here, you should ask for details at that time.

Turning to Toya, did you finish reading The South Forest, which you first had, and now you're reading Herbs and More?

I... "East Forest" I guess. It's where I'm in now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[East Forest]

Around this city is a hunting ground for rookies.

Demons do not appear on the street side, allowing herbs to be collected relatively safely.

Occasionally a task bore appears, but it will not be attacked if it is not distracted and slowly detached. However, if you encounter bad luck when it comes to parenting or when you are feeling up to it, you will advance, so give up and fight then.

If you can kill them successfully, you can earn money with meat and skin. There are no demonic stones because they are not demons.

Goblins, hobgoblins, oaks, etc. emerge as you go back.

Goblins and hobgoblins are demons that aren't even a threat to rookies, but if you're up against orcs, you should have quite a few weapons. A cheap weapon may not pass the attack at all.

I don't know the realm of the goblins and the realm of the oak clearly, so Rookie goes back poorly and gets killed by the oak indefinitely. At the very least, you should stay out of the realm where the demons are until you can shoot Task Boer in one blow.

From there, further into the woods stretching to the hemline of the mountains.

Around here, demons emerge that have no hands or feet in Rookie, such as Auger. If you have the skill to get in there, let's honestly change the hunting ground to the South Forest. You can make safer money there.

It is not advisable to go in unless you are so confident, as the mountain ranges extending from here to the west have not been explored.

There is almost zero information about the demons that emerge, but if you say that an adventurer who can shoot an auger has gone missing, can you understand the threat?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm. Looks like you shouldn't step in for the time being after the oak area.

Since then, there have been explanations for herbs growing well from area to area.

Oh, I have an explanation for the flood of oaks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Oak flooding]

Oak flooding occurs every few years in the east woods.

It is that the uncrusaded oak will become a group and nest, expanding its forces and showing up all the way around the street.

Even the street-side woods are dangerous at this time of year, so Rookie should check carefully for precautions to be posted on the bulletin board and not miss any signs of it.

Also, if you see an oak on the outer edge of the forest, be sure to report it to the Alliance. That will protect our own lives.

If the oak is crusaded, there will be no flooding, but the oak is not very popular due to its transport difficulties. I just want adventurers with magic bags to make sure they do their best to crusade.

When the oak flood is finally in place, there will be a crusade under the auspices of the Adventurer Alliance. In doing so, adventurers with just the strength to kill the oak are encouraged to participate, as there are aids to the haulage of the oak. As long as you have the strength, you will be able to expect to make quite a bit of money.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

That's the same as Mr. Diola's description. - Or maybe this is written around Mr. Diola? The description assumes this city, and what a handmade booklet. It's not strangely difficult to write, so it's easy to understand.

Something else bothers me - Oh, the Great Salamander...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[Noria River]

River flowing east of the town of Raffan.

The east forest runs all the way to the side of this river.

Walk out of the east gate of the city of Raffan for about half a day to reach the city of Sarstadt, built on the side of this river.

Both river width and water depth make it difficult to cross on foot, so take advantage of the Sarlstadt handover.

I would not recommend swimming and crossing. Bad luck can result in demons attacking you.

Walking upstream for about a day, the river narrows and turns into a fresh stream.

Great Salamander lives around here.

Great Salamander is rare as an ingredient, so it's a good idea to go crusading if you're confident of capturing it. It's an animal, so it's not that dangerous.

However, you can't buy it unless you freeze it immediately after you've killed it, so you need a wizard who can do it, or a magic bag that can be transported while you're dead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

More than 2 days round trip?

Now from 20 gold coins per big pepperfish, what is it? Don't make more money from the orcs.

There's no point in going without another purpose, is there?

It says fresh stream, and can you catch even delicious river fish?

The river fish I ate in Sarlstadt was modestly damned, but if you catch even fish like the Mountain Girl Fish "Yamame" or "Ayu," it might be delicious to eat in a salt grill.

Unfortunately, there was no information about the fish in the dossier I just read.

"Nao. I finished reading, what about you?

With that in mind, that's how Toya called me when she put the booklet on the table.

"I don't have" South Forest "and" Herbs and More "yet. Other than that, I read generally."

"Right. What do we do? I think it's time for noon..."

"I don't know what to do. You think those guys are about to be back?

I didn't decide to do anything about lunch in particular, but it would be good to go to Aela's if she seemed to be home.

"In half a day, the order seems to be over... home, so I don't know"

"That's right."

In Japan, there is no way that a meeting to build a house will end in about half a day.

But in this world, we leave the details to the carpenters. There may not be anything to discuss at length.

"... in the meantime, would you like to go back? I can't help thinking about it here."

"Oh. If we weren't here, we'd both go out and eat."

That's what we said, nodded at each other, rearranged the materials on the table, and left the guild behind.
