A City With a Dungeon
After parting from Radha, I headed to one of the areas under the direct control of the royal family, where a large dungeon exists and I was told thats where my assassination targets this time are staying.
Although, Radha should be watching me from somewhere. There is no guarantee that the information I received from Radha is accurate, but even if Radha falsified it to be convenient for herself, I have no intention to check it in detail.
There should be one more contact, so I dont think that Radha would be able to do any major falsification, and in the first place she shouldnt be so foolish as to do a falsification that can be found out just from several days of investigation.
And then most of all, if the information is convenient for Radha, Radha too will take action in accordance with it. As the result Ill be able to predict Radhas action.
I purchased salt and spices that I will need in my travel, and bought chemical ingredients that Im lacking from multiple alchemist shops and stalls. Im also taking the chance to buy one cloak that was created from monster material.
The protector that was made from monster material is just like the boots and hand guard that I received from master. It can regenerate small damage using the wearers magic power and water moisture in the air. The degree of regeneration is affected by the monsters rank, so I cant expect much effect from the cloak that was created from the material of low ranked monster, even so apparently it protected the wearer from heat and cold far better compared to normal cloth or leather.
.
Gelf, sell me a comparatively cheap cloak.
You are the only customer in my shop who ever asked me to sell a cheap thing without care of the design.
Two days after my encounter with Felds group, I visited the dwarfs armor shop once more.
I waited for two days to avoid meeting Felds group once more. A part of me also wanted to meet again with Feld but, I wanted to avoid getting involved with the noble boys who looked at me strangely.
Well, okay. Ill choose something with the appropriate price, just for yo u.
Gelf winked his eye so heavily it felt like I could hear the sound of his eyelashes snapping. I nodded quietly and pinched the leather skirt that he lent me in the place of my equipments.
Is my equipments repair finished? I want to change into them if possible.
You, arent perturbed at all arent you. I have finished repairing your equipment but, you dont like what I lent you? Its not made from monster leather but I didnt cut any corner when making it you know?
Gelf sighed for some reason. I shook my head to him.
No, its thin and light and comfortable to wear. It also made the gazes on me increased somewhat but, it also doesnt really matter if I warp my head with my shawl.
In the end you covered your hair with ash again eh. If you are applying illusion, it will only make you stand out unnecessarily if you do more than applying it lightly just to cover your hairs glossiness you know?
I see, Ill try it.
And, why do you want to change?
Hm? Isnt this just a substitute until my equipments repair is finished?
I was confused why it was necessary for me to have a total makeover just for repairing my boots and hand protector, but did Gelf plan to hand over this whole set of equipment to me?
Even though Im someone who Galbas introduced to him, he shouldnt need to be so dutiful to go that far for me. Then Gelf taught me why he has been so good to me.
Im creating equipment in order to wear cute equipment you know-. But, I cant wear them well with my slightly chubby body-! Thats why, I have been searching for a cute girl to wear them in place all this time-!
Got it.
I understand the words but, I dont understand the meaning. To be honest, I cant understand that passion but, it must be something important for Gelf. Even in that womans knowledge, the category of cuteness is too vast that I dont really get it but, I think that if its Gelfs creation then it then there wont be any problem with its functionality.
Then I should at least pay the fee but, just like Galbas, Gelf will only accept one gold coin. Just that much should only cover the price for the cloak though.
You can pay me when you have grown. Just accept them for now. Come here again later okay? There are still a lot of things that I want you to wear.
Thank you.
This dungeon is famous because its a dungeon where beast demihuman like goblin and orc appear frequently.
Other than powerful treasure, in some cases dungeon also produced metal weapon and the like. The beast demihuman who lived in dungeon sometimes found those weapons and took them into their possession, so the adventurers can obtain them as extra earning.
But, the danger level of a monster with weapon will shot up. This dungeon is recognized as a dangerous place but with good pay, so the guild cant act as intermediary for a guide to dive into the deep floor.
For the time being I asked the staff about the requests market price, and the names of the parties that might accept such request. One of the parties that the staff mentioned is the Mercenary of Dawn that is my target this time. From the staff I confirmed that their plan of returning next time will be two days later.
Two days later huhin that case Radha will catch up and resume her watch over me. The timing will be just right. While Im thinking that Ill check the inside of the dungeon before that, I noticed a presence following me from the guild.
Is it rank 2 adventurer that listened to my conversation at the guild and came to offer their service to me? Or perhaps it might be someone who underestimated me as a child and wanted to attack me.
Either way it will be annoying. If its just someone offering, this dungeon will also be the first time for me, so I might take up the offer to show me around the low floor, but what should I do if its an attack.
I felt two weak presences. Alsothere is one really strong presence.
I left the main street where the guild is located and continued walking toward the back alley where there isnt anybody.
I dont know where I can find an area with nobody around but, regardless of the intention that these people might have, they will surely call out to me when I reach a place that is convenient for them.
.
Yoo, ash covered. You want a guide for the dungeon right? We will take it up.
A pair of adventurers who looked to be at their earlier twenty called out to me in a dark alley. Even so, I believed that I had reduced the amount of ash on my hair after Gelfs warning but, Im called like that again even here.
You can just pay us with all the money you bring with you. Well, even if you refuse were still going to drag you to the dungeon after this though.
I see, it seemed they came both for making an offer and attacking. But, can they give any tour guide when the two of them only has around 100 combat strength? Such trivial though floated in my mind.
But, where did the other strong presence went to?
Oi, dont keep quiet. Speak up, ash covered-
The man irritated me while Im searching for the presence. I reached out toward him.
Annoying.
I took a step forward while hitting the mans jaw with my palm. The fifteen cm arrow that shot out from the gimmick installed inside the protector pierced the mans jaw until his brain.
Eh?
The other man let out a dumbfounded voice seeing his friend suddenly falling. Right in that instant, I jumped back to get away from that man.
!
The next moment, the mans whole body is enveloped in burning flame.
As I thought, youre strong.
The man couldnt even scream with how strong the firepower is and crumbled. A lighthearted voice of a girl came from behind him.
Hey, how about I show you around inside the dungeon?
