"The masters seem to be having fun. It was great to be so happy while preparing for the stone quarry."
"While saying that, I love Bal-chan who accompanied me while digging for rocks."
After returning to the mini-house, the three named the project "Operation Mining Ore Gondola" and began making gondolas and ropes and designing pulley sections. At the same time, I trained Megiddo (i decided to tie a rope around my waist because it would be a problem if I left the thread with my hands, so I have to do my best to make him learn to walk slowly forward and back slowly. .
And the mining operation, which was larger than expected, completed 90% of the schedule, and finally entered Shinrei Kinzan to look for the mining point, so I asked, as usual, "Please detect me" (this time in a kneeling position) Barbariccia rode the ghost train with a terrified expression.
"Let's go!"
The ghost train that started moving with Yurin's happy voice. After passing through the area of the emergence of the BOSS class, Nukoo began to search for mining points earnestly according to the agreement.
“........ close, somewhat suspicious around here.”
One hour search. I found a huge crack in the ground that was different from where Nukoo first found it.
A notebook that firmly fastens a rope made of thread made by Athena to Megiddo's waist as planned.
This time, Athena, specially accompanied, got off the carriage and skillfully installed the gondola parts Nukoo had taken from the on-site inventory.
At ALLFO, you cannot keep any large creations in your inventory. There were also items that could be stored, but were impossible to make at this stage, so I gave up.
However, once you make something like a gondola, it takes a long time to make it. So it is better to make it simple and assemble it on the spot? I came to the conclusion.
After the trial and error, the completed gondola is connected by a rope that leads to Megiddo. And Athena installed a large pulley made together by Athena Govnu with carpentry technology at the end of a steep section. Pass the rope through the rail and hang the gondola slowly.
The gondola shook for a while without making a sound and then stopped, and Megiddo also did not seem to be hot at all, picking up tree branches and eating them over the caterpillar's head.
No problems in the first stage of the operation. Continue to the second stage. Notice calling the six slightly macho zombies "Grade Zombie Minor" and instructing them to ride the gondola. When I told them to equip the ice axes already loaded in the gondola, all 6 zombies took their choice.
And as Megiddo slowly walked back, the gondola slowly descended. The gondola slowly descends. However, the zombies reacted with twitches on the road and the gondola shook slightly.
"There. Upgrade zombie miners, start digging!"
Note did not miss and immediately gave orders to the zombies. There was a great thumping sound, and the part that was being excavated shone like the moment the item was obtained. Looks like the operation went well.
"Okay, keep digging."
A notebook that gives instructions to the zombies while slowly lowering Megiddo.
The algalangan! A loud sound echoed as the rocks eroded. The ice axe swung seriously and slowly hurt, and the reserve was tied with a rope and slowly lowered and handed over to the zombie.
"Good, good, quick!"
The surface of the steep section was scratched into a mound, and it looked tragic. And when the length of the rope is the same length as at the very bottom, when you make it all the way down, it will be like, “Biki! ’ sounds unpleasant sound. The next moment, the ground cracked 5m from a steep section and slid downwards.
Megiddo has incredible reflexes, and when he uses a grasshopper's legs to fly violently, he avoids slipping with agility comparable to his large body. And the notebook that couldn't do that fell helplessly.
"Sister's Note!"
However, without a doubt, Yulin jumped off the cliff and flew at high speed, catching the notebook in mid-air and somehow managed to return to the top.
"Whoops... Thank you for your help. I haven't been cold for a long time."
"No, I'm so glad Note-nii isn't scared. But suddenly it collapsed..."
Yurin is relieved, and Note whose heart is still beating fast. At the end of the line of sight of the two, there was Nukoo who was looking at the cliff at his own pace.
“Aduh...extraordinary.
A notebook urged by Nuko to look inside the cliff.
The notebook also peered into the cliff and let out a voice of admiration.
"Is it possible to mine all this?"
"Great once~"
A number of shiny thin stones poked out from the surface of the cliff. Even in the dark forest, it seemed to glow brightly.
"Wouldn't it be easier if I used dynamite or magic to blow it up?"
what about yurin? I looked at the notebook, but the notebook looked at Nukoo, and Nukoo shook her head.
"It is difficult to mine with explosives on such terrain. If you use magic, there is a high chance that the ore will be blown away.
Even if dynamite and its calculations are possible, it will be faster to dig. In terms of magic, the magic direction adjustment limit is 90 degrees in front of you. In addition, according to ALLFO physics calculations, powerful magic that damages the field has a broad punch assessment, so you will get stuck in it and die. If this has a base in the ground and can be recovered, I think dynamite would be fine if it were real.
The fact that you can't hear the sound of falling even though many things have collapsed means that if you fall, you will die or be thrown somewhere else...Yurin, will you try it? ”
“You said it makes me feel like you really want me to try it.”
Ignoring Yurin's sincere disgusted expression, Nukoo gathered.
"In addition, as a prerequisite, dynamite is not as easy as it sounds. It was unexpected that the gondola was lost, but it was also just a tree, so it was easy to rebuild the current situation with the remaining blueprints. But in terms of cost, this is the correct answer.
The notebook accidentally figured out a way to create a large number of mining points and collect all the ore in the area. Continue mining the ore from the other steep sections with the same procedure. When the item box is full, the notebook starts to return to the mini-home with a happy face.
――――― However, the expression of the notebook is not very good.
"Isn't that funny?"
"The tree... is it rotten?"
"New-chan, has anyone been caught in detection?"
While returning on a ghost train, the Notebook, who was on the coachman stand, suddenly noticed it. The trees rotted and the ground opened as if drawn a line. And there was no sign of another MOB, and the forest was very quiet.
"Instead, there's nothing within detection range. But it's really weird."
Note and Nukoo looked around. Yurin flew up slightly, looked around from above, and returned with a puzzled expression.
"New-chan, there's something there!!"
"Stupid! Nothing can be detected...!?"
However, Barbariccia's eyes glowed red, probably because she was worried by Yurin's words. He activated his own ability, 『Clairvoyance』. And amazing for the always arrogant Barbariccia, her beautiful face was clearly convulsed.
"Master, take home the ghost train at high speed! It came from behind!"
"What's!? More importantly, did you hear it? Please, do it at full speed!"
The ghost train that until now was at a speed that the Notes could drive comfortably, climbed Mount Gungun on the orders of the Notes.
But behind me, I began to hear the sound of trees falling, and got closer.
And finally, the tone that was able to see his true identity shouted.
"Isn't that just a curse ◯?! How much do you like Jib ◯ who is in charge of this place !?"
The only sign that can distinguish the face is the eyes that emit black light. Something in the form of a spider consisting of a large number of thick black-purple tentacles approached us while continuing to rot the passage through.
“As usual, I was rejected by the assessment!
Megiddo and Athena are already on standby (consume MP for dematerialization. The only way to release the standby state is to consume the MP and call back), so no one is protecting or caring for them, Even so, the feeling of the notebook is that they do not want to die.
Notice summoning Zombie Scrum three times as a wall in front of the approaching monster in a straight line to stop it, but the monster rushes in so there is no barrier, no barrier, and zombies appeared in his fluid-like body. And after the monster passed by, the zombie debris melted into pulp and turned into polygon fragments.
"Fu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Is there such a thing!? Bal-chan, what is it!?"
"No matter how you look at it, you're still alive !?"
“Even the great demons cannot control the entire realm.
"Then what is his identity..is that pretentious?"
"Hahahahaha, let's just say it's good to have that mindset. With that mindset...well, let me tell you one hint. His weak point was his eyes. Shoot his eyes."
"Reproduction of the original work is also quite a lot of oi!"
The Note shouted and started shooting magic like a long-range attack, and Yurin and the others threw throwing throwing knives into their eyes.
"Is this no damage other than the eyes !?"
"Maybe. I can't say anything because I can't see the HP gauge, but I don't seem to have received any damage."
"You really are a monster!"
The monsters that advanced while rotting and knocking down trees continued to narrow the distance. However, his eyes were small for their size, making them difficult to attack.
"Homo. You seem to be crying! So fast! Quiet down!"
When the distance was about to drop below 10m, the Notebook black magic bullets that were fired randomly hit directly as if they were sucked into the monster's eyes.
"" 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜!!!!
A low-pitched scream that could not be heard rang out, and the monster stopped moving.
"Hore!?"
"Yurin, flag"
"Well, if you recreate it, it's true!"
But from the monster Zuzozozozozozozozo! ! ! ! And with overwhelming force, an arm made of mass of tentacles shot out as if it were erupting, approaching the notebook.
“Something, something….. Even this!”
The notebook is upset and doesn't know what to do and starts digging through the item box. Most were filled with ore, but somehow there were some items dropped by the forest area boss in the 2 item box that should have been sorted before leaving.
"Woodshield 'Protection of Trees'? What is a Boss Area drop?
A notebook that embodies the shield and throws it into the tentacles. But the tentacles flexed and exploded! While making a sound like an air explosion, he flipped his shield, Go! And cut the wind and scratch the notebook's face.
Soon after Guaaan! I heard a tremendous sound, so when I turned around, Barbariccia, who was hardening her hands, caught the shield with one hand.
"now"
Just then, Nukoo threw a dark boomerang. The boomerang that was fired with skill pierced the eyes of the struggling monster.
"Yes"
As soon as Nukoo decided to pose bravely, the monster shouted louder than before and started swinging its tentacles.
"Opportunities! GO AWAYL! GO AWAYL! GO!"
But the tentacles that swung chaotically did not hit, and the ghost carriage stayed away. Then, he rushed into the stone circle and managed to escape.
◆
"I managed to escape~! I've been cold, it's been a long time."
"Well, if I received an attack, I should have received some kind of curse."
"Did you do that!?"
Despite the extreme tension, the notebook collapsed after disembarking from the car. Nuko and Yurin lay on it.
"Hmph, let's just say I managed to escape well this time. And I'll return this shield."
What Barbariccia placed near the Note's head was a former "Tree Protection Shield" that was thrown backwards by the Note and captured by Barbariccia. It was a beautiful wooden shield carved with laurel trees, harder than metal with a green gem in the center, yet lighter than metal, but, carved with undulating tentacles that glowed dimly in a bluish-purple color It was a mysterious shield of unknown material.
"Nanikore? I can't judge it."
“By the time I received it, it had changed.
"Can I touch it?"
"Please be wise not to touch anyone other than a powerful secret person against curses, in other words, his master."
"Yes ... that's too scary."
The notebook timidly took the shield and put it in its inventory.
"... (Ah, Kitakore) Bal-chan, once again thanks for this time, you really helped me."
“Hmph, really.
Barbariccia said arrogantly and returned to the mini-house.
◆
"After all, what is it?"
After Barbariccia left, when Yurin asked while rolling on Note's stomach, Nukoo replied.
“Baru-chan said it was a natural rage. And it doesn't even have an HP gauge.
"Why are we cursed?"
"Maybe it's because the cliff collapsed so many times, right? The curse of nature's destruction."
Note takes over the answer, but Nukoo rejects Note's opinion which he thinks is the opposite.
"The cliffs that disappear when you drop something on them, I think it's useful to throw things that you don't need. I feel like the monster will appear if you drop an item you don't need there."
"Regarding rare species .. next is enlightenment on the destruction of nature and illegal disposal. An incredible trap can throw things away.
We were lucky because we had a ghost train, but players who came for the first time were fascinated by the rare metals there and threw out items to open their inventory even if a little. That'll be the trigger. I wonder if the civil engineering that fell due to the collapse counted as waste material."
"Look at your status. As proof, the titles 'Defiler of the Secret Forest' and 'Nature's Wrath' have been added."
“...........It's true.『Secret Forest Defiler』 raises the hate value of creatures in the forest to the maximum level, and 『Nature’s Wrath』 raises all hostile horde stats in the forest to the maximum level. That's a painful punishment, this. Ah, and since this is genuine, the title effect will increase. It hurts, it hurts too much."
"Allfo says that they are considering many things to make this game for the world. It might be some kind of warning. Maybe it's a reflection of humanity in the 21st century."
"Huh, that's great. The villain roll was finally polished. If you roll up criminals, won't you remember all the great sins in human history?"
ALLFO, you've done a very good job.
The note muttered so and stroked the heads of Nukoo and Yurin, who were dissatisfied with such a surprise punishment.
"He made the next wall alone in trouble. Let's jump over."
The notebook smiled, Yurin smiled at that cheerful smile, Nukoo nodded, and a fighting spirit flame flared in her eyes.
