There was a lot going on in the library and simulation battles, but a few days after that, we finally decided to go to the Adventurers' Association to get a report on the fruits of illusions.
It's not Pulls Arx, which is the original purpose, but Iris Arx, which is upwardly compatible... well, we'll manage.
With optimism, Esther was brought to the association.
As soon as Christophe, the president of the association, was led to his room and took his seat face-to-face, he opened his mouth with admiration.
When you come back from the Argud Mountains, you will be amazed at the speed with which you have acted.
"Ahahah... I was relieved to hear that. We can't keep the other party waiting too long, can we?"
"Exploring the Argud Mountains has been difficult for us." I also understand that Pulsarx is said to be an illusion fruit. "
"It seems that exploring in the forest was difficult for you guys." But I'm glad I was able to pick the fruit safely. "
I said this in my mouth, but it's still too early to be delayed.
Well, Christophe seems to think he's getting Pulsarx, but he needs to explain that the stuff he's collecting is different.
"Ahh, actually... I couldn't get Pulsarx."
"I couldn't get it!?" Even you guys couldn't collect the magic fruit... it's not a formal request, so don't worry, I won't do anything wrong. "
"Don't hurry. I couldn't extract the Pulsarx, but I brought you something to replace it with."
Esther's eyes signaled her to remove the elongated rainbow-colored fruit, Iris Alux, from her bag and place it on her desk.
"This is it, please check"
”I-It's a rainbow shining fruit... isn't it Pulsarx?”
"I asked one of my acquaintances, and it seems to be a fruit called Iris Arx. It's also kind of a kind of thing called a phantom fruit."
"Iris Arx... it's a fruit I've never heard of." It is true that Pulsarx is said to be a round fruit, but it is long and thin. But it's called a phantom fruit, and I have little information, and it's hard for me to tell what's different from this. "
"That's right, we can't judge what we've collected." But I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but if I replace it, it's going to be a problem. That's why I declare it to be a different fruit. I can't introduce you to anyone who can tell. "
"Do you guys have more hands than you can imagine to judge whether it is a phantom fruit or not?" I'm not going to ask you any details... but I'm still curious. "
"Ahahah... I'm sorry, but I can't say because there are many reasons, as Esther said."
"Hmm, I'm really sorry, but let's give up." It's annoying even if you ask too hard. "
You're saying that because you trust us, but you're looking at us with sharp eyes and you're not giving up inside...
Elves living in the Argud Mountains have taught us! I can't say it right now, so I laughed and fooled around.
Now, not only that, but we need to make sure that no one goes to the Argud Mountains.
It looks like the Elves' barrier was shaking during the battle with the Elder Plant, so I was told not to come for a while if possible.
In fact, the Argud Mountains seem rather unstable nowadays, and there is a possibility that eater torrents may appear irregularly, so it is said that if someone comes poorly, there will be damage.
So I talked to Esther in advance and decided to take the story with me so that even the adventurer wouldn't get close.
"When I went to pick this fruit, I encountered an incredible monster in the Argud Mountains." We don't know the identity, but the strength was different. I just brought some of the monsters back, so please check it out. "
That said, I took out a black seed that was about the size of a bowling ball and a black human-sized petal and spread it on my desk.
This is a part of an elderplant's seed bullet and a flower that has become a charcoal.
Christophe is sure of something when he takes it in his hand.
As for the seed bullet, it was too heavy, and I opened my mouth without lifting it and was stunned.
"W-What a heavy ball this is... and this petal is harder than steel." You guys are like monsters I can't imagine. [M] Could you tell me what kind of monster it was? "
"It was a vine-like monster like Silvarector, but it was huge enough to bury all my sight." The main body was blooming, countless vines were growing, and the forest was attacking in an instant. "
"Oh, that certainly doesn't look like Silvarector." It's not that I don't trust them, but I don't think there are such monsters any more than dragons. "
Imagining what a monster would look like, Christophe watches Elderplant materials as he sweats coldly.
One more push and the adventurer won't go into the Argud Mountains.
"I managed to defeat it, but I think the terrain of the forest has changed a lot and the ecology of the monsters around it has changed, so I think it's better to stay away from people for a while." There was also a tough torrent, so it was pretty dangerous. ”
"There was such a fierce battle... I didn't have any adventurers to go to the Argud Mountains, but let's keep an eye out." Just in case, the story of the magical fruit flows and there is not necessarily anyone interested. "
Alright, you managed to take the conversation to the intended course.
Well, I actually went to the Argud Mountains, and when I saw the traces of the battle between Elderplant and Karon, I thought I would turn right and run away.
If I had seen that scene without knowing it, I would have run away.
Now, let's go back to the deal where we were supposed to pick the fruit because we also talked about what we wanted to do.
I took out a bite-sized piece of Iris Alx from my bag and put it on my desk.
It has a mysterious rainbow glow in a specially made, transparent cooler.
"Also, in order to exchange this time, I would like to ask the other party to confirm whether this fruit is okay." There is something separated from the perfect product, so please have it eaten before judging. I'm sorry it's so small.
"Oh, I can't help but think that the contents are so beautiful." You can clearly tell it's fresh even if it's cut apart. You're all amazed at how much you can bring back from the Algud Mountains like this. "
"I keep it fresh with magic." Don't worry about that, because we also control the perfect product. "
"... it would be a shame to leave you guys as B-rank adventurers after all"
”Ah, ahahaha... I'm considering it positively, so please don't do it now”
Come on, this time it's not a request from the Adventurer's Association, so please don't bring in any talk about promotion.
"What kind of request will I be given when I reach the A-rank..."
The story was settled when I gave Christoph the cut Iris Alks and asked him to eat them at a later date and then decide whether to exchange them for Divine Demon Coins.
I'd like to finish my errand for today... but I have something to look into in King's Landing, so let's ask Christoph.
"And I'd like to ask you, is there a place where you can learn a lot of information?" For example, a place with a lot of books, like a library. "
"Hmm, the King's National Library would be good." Just how many books are valuable, and it will cost quite a bit to get into the building. And the compartments with the important books must be allowed down. "
Is there such a difference in the lots that you need permission for?
"The books in the general section are mostly objects of basic knowledge and popular literature. There are quite a few manuscripts, so even if you lose them, they are all relatively fine. Many of the compartments for which permission is required are specialized fields such as technology and history. There was a detailed book about the demons in that section."
There's a permit block in the library!? I thought it would cost money to enter normally... I thought it was open for free.
I want to gather a lot of information about this world, and I want to know more about how the aliens and demons are treated, but it looks like a lot of trouble.
If I knew what kind of books there were, I might be able to put them out in my library, so I'd have to go there about once.
Unlike me, Esther is interested in the plots that need permission.
How do I get out of here?
"Those who support the library and those who gain trust." It is easy to obtain permission if you donate more than a certain amount or if you donate more than a certain amount. Those who have earned the trust are the ones who have already obtained permission, such as referrals from aristocrats and other powerful people. "
"It's like the King's National Park, so the nobility gets permission." Is it mostly about the merchants? "
"You're right." It's not possible for anyone to make an introduction from someone who has permission. I have permission to enter, but not enough to introduce others. ”
Is it distinguished between those who can give permission to others and those who cannot?
I wonder if there is such a power differential in libraries, or if that is the policy of the country in which they operate.
It's probably because there are valuable books, but I can also see that there are books with information that only people who can be trusted can see.
"Is there anything you want to know in the library? What if I could help you?"
"Ah, no, for now, we'll check it out ourselves." If we don't have the information we need, we need your help. "
"It's so cheap." If you'd like to enter a special section, I'll write you a letter of introduction. Even if you can't, you should be able to earn some credibility. After that, if you support the library, you may get permission. "
"I see... I see." If there are no books in the general compartment, I will think about it. Thank you for telling me so much. "
Now that we've heard the deal and the information we want to know, we left the association.
"There are libraries in this world, but it seems like they are difficult to pay for them, or they have a permit system."
"If books are valuable, there's no helping it." It's going to cost you to maintain it, and I'm just grateful that it's open to the public for a fee. "
Hmm, I thought it was a more convenient place to go, but the library seems more delicate.
That being said, the existence of a home library where you can easily read a book may be quite appreciated.
If you can only look up the title in the library in King's Landing and generate it later in your home library, you can check it slowly.
I thought I'd take Estelle and Martina, who are familiar with books, along and look into them.
