Chapter 162 - Let's Gather Materials
◎ Blue Rifon Fort, In Front of the Entrance
In front of the fort entrance, after the battle immediately ended due to the participation of the White Party . All the adventurers were now gathering materials from the monsters . The smell of blood hung over the area, but since that was now a dismantling site, that was something that couldn't be helped, and Kazane and the others were already used to that kind of scene .
And Kazane and the others were now in the middle of taking materials from the Earth Core Dragon . They also subjugated a considerable number of monsters after the Earth Core Dragon, but they agreed to negotiations to split a percentage of those with the other adventurers .
Since the Earth Core Dragon they defeated this time was made in a dungeon, its Core was a Childstone, not a Dragon Heart . It was a layer 40 class, so it had the highest magical power generation ability among the Childstones they had obtained so far, and it was also the largest . Kazane was thinking of using it for Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon .
By the way, the Monster Tamer hiding in the middle of the monster group also had a layer 40 class Childstone . Although its combat ability was low for that level of monster, its ability to create a pseudo Monster House was extremely dangerous . And that was now owned by the man with the shaved head Bluesea . He may have been the luckiest man that was in this battle, and he was now expressing his gratitude to Kazane .
「That was truly dangerous . The『Ogre Killing Princess』and『Magic Sword Operator』coming . . . 」
「We were saved . Honestly, I thought it might be hopeless when that dragon appeared . 」
「As expected of the famous White Party . 」
Kazane was gathering materials from the Earth Core Dragon until just now, but since she was called out to, she was now dealing with the three people that were standing in front of her .
One was from the largest party at Blue Rifon Fort, the『Black Duck Party』leader Sera; one was from the second largest party,『Scrawl Killer』leader Bluesea; and the last was Roy, a staff member dispatched by the guild .
「No, we were able to take down some big game, so I don't think you need to mind it so much . 」
So Kazane responded, but the three people were treating Kazane the same as they would any high-ranking adventurer . Although she looked like a child, her true strength had already been displayed to everyone in that place . There was no one there who would look down on a person who could send the head of an Earth Core Dragon flying with only a kick .
「Roy-san, I've taken all the necessary parts for now and want to sell the rest, but is leaving it like this and requesting that okay?」
「Yes . I've already made arrangements . At any rate, with this amount . . . 」
So saying, Roy looked around . There were probably 150 monsters in all . It seemed like there were people busy gathering materials everywhere he looked .
「I've called for wagons from Crimiona City . They should arrive by dusk, and ice spell using magicians from the guild will be coming with them . I can also use refrigeration magic, so there will be no problems with preservation . 」
「Okay . Then I'll leave it to you . 」
Refrigeration magic was magic created to preserve monster materials . It was recommended magic for anyone who planned to become a material custodian or guild staff member . They were necessary whenever there was a large enough crowd, not just for cases like this one .
As a matter of fact, when it came to preservation, Kazane's Crystallization was better . After all, human beings could return to life even if it was released after several decades . Although the effective range was small for living flesh, so she would have to become a dragon and use her Crystal Breath to crystallize something as large as an Earth Core Dragon, but going that far wasn't necessary right now . Besides, it would be a problem if she was feared more than she was currently .
「At any rate, that seemed like an awfully bad situation; is it always like this?」
「No no, there's no way, don't you think?」
Bluesea retorted after Kazane's question . If it was always like this, they would have been annihilated long ago; rather, if Kazane and the others hadn't come, this time alone would have possibly annihilated them .
「Bluesea . Kazane-san only just arrived, so she hasn't heard anything about the situation . 」
「Ah, that's right . Sorry . 」
Bluesea bowed his head after Sera's words .
「No, that's fine . Then you're saying it's usually calmer?」
「Well, that's right . To begin with, this is the first time monsters have come out of the fort . Excluding the Earth Core Dragon and Monster Tamer, that class of monster sometimes appears in the dungeon regardless of layer . 」
Because of that, the low ranked parties couldn't advance very far, since they might inadvertently be surrounded by high level monsters and be annihilated .
「Although if it was normal, the members of the party called O-ring would have taken the lead in the battle . It probably wouldn't have been such a struggle if they were with us . 」
Bluesea reacted to Roy's words .
「That's right . What happened to O-ring? They still haven't returned?」
Roy answered Bluesea's question with a bitter face .
「Yes, they plunged into the fort depths yesterday and haven't returned . Based on the monsters that just appeared, it might be best to consider the worst situation . 」
「Is that O-ring party strong?」
「Yes, that's right . The leader Ori is rank A, and the other six members are rank B . The leader Ori is friends with Naoki over there . 」
「 . . . Naoki?」
Kazane turned around after Sera's words . Naoki was standing there dumbfounded .
「Is that story just now true, Sera?」
Naoki asked Sera with a pale face . Apparently the two were acquaintances .
「Yes, unfortunately, it's like that . 」
「Naoki, you know that Ori-san?」
Naoki strongly nodded after Kazane's question .
「Yeah, he's a helpful guy . He has also invited me to join his party before . 」
Kazane pondered a little after seeing Naoki's situation, then asked Naoki .
「Mmm . Naoki, can you still go on?」
「Aneki?」
Naoki didn't understand the intention behind Kazane's question and tilted his head .
「We'll also have to check with Lyle and Emily . We can plunge into the fort after a short break, but if it seems impossible, we can postpone our departure . 」
Naoki's face brightened after those words .
「Umm, will you be all right?」
