After overhauling the basement, we once again opened it to the public.
Personally, I think we made it too easy to follow all of Masayuki's advice.
How's the reaction?
First, the idiots who were unwilling to listen to the explanation (who only managed to climb up to the 2nd floor) could go to the third floor.
But they can't remove it.
Even so, they challenged him repeatedly.
What drives them so hard?
Their master's orders? The pride?
Not everything . That's a much more practical reason.
It seemed like the weapon Basson had obtained, the longsword, was pretty good.
Compared to adventurer equipment, it.
Moreover, I thought it was Kurobee's job, but it was one of his students.
And this disciple long sword, if ranked normally, would be a high-class sword.
At most, it could be classed as a special high grade blade.
In the market, a high-quality sword was ten times the price. The special knife was fifty times.
Of those who could obtain it, even those affiliated with the army might have a hard time.
So I can fully understand the sudden change in passion.
「Oi, , look! Isn't this pretty knife suitable for me! 」
Thanks to Basson's shameless pride, we have had more guests recently.
Unexpectedly, he is good publicity for our country, so I am grateful.
But, when it was all over, he was not the one who planned these things.
Now, even those half-brainers listen to your explanation and use the first floor to practice.
After training there, they returned to set up their equipment (which of course added to our advantage) and again challenged the dungeon.
And thus, we have people who are able to clean the third floor.
Floors 3-5 are easy to clean with proper mapping skills, so they can clean them.
The rest is up to his true abilities.
And by the time these adventurers left the labyrinth, adventurers from different countries came piling up due to rumors.
Which leads to a fierce race to conquer the labyrinth.
Some, of course, started selling maps, so we decided to announce that the maze would change.
You have to draw your own map, or it means nothing. Drawing a map was a basic skill they all needed to survive.
Based on their estimates, it takes 2-3 days to clean one floor; at best, a day.
That was why all the adventurers secretly agreed to hold a strategy meeting every time the labyrinth changed.
Adventurers affiliated with the Freedom Association are obviously on a different level.
They formed a team not only composed of a monster extermination team, but also a gatherer and scavenger.
So they are very adaptable. After hearing his explanation, they quickly understood the rules.
Maybe it would be too easy for them.
And their speed just proves the facts.
Especially those who are experienced in Elemental magic: they use spirits to choose the right path to the next floor.
That's cheating! The elemental magic was cheating!
I asked Ramiris about it, and
「Ah, yes! Not thinking about that at all!
But, it just means they are really liked by spirits, so they are trustworthy! 」
He's responding.
Well, it's not like they can all communicate with spirits, and those who use elemental magic are few among them.
No need to act against them. In fact, I would rather praise their wits.
Moreover, destruction explorers were rather good at identifying traps.
They were able to carefully appraise the treasure chest. They are a different world from simple bartenders, and approach this as their profession.
Thus, the labyrinth was slowly cleared and the number of challengers was increasing.
We regrouped to discuss the current situation.
Unlike last time, everything went well, so we are happy.
Basically, we all smile.
「Oi, Masayuki, did you say you were?
I think I see potential in you, but you're quite a man man
Veldora proudly praised Masayuki as we gathered.
「Ah, is that really so? Uh, thank you .. 」
Masayuki replied, surprised by the sudden praise.
With the look of "Who is this guy?"
Yo, she was here last time, I introduced you both ... Did you forget who she is because of how nervous you are?
「Ah, this is my good friend, Veldora-san.
I introduced you last time, right?
This is Ramiris, master of the labyrinth fairy 」
「Ay, I'll recognize you, Masayuki」
「Yahoo! You are great . This success is all thanks to you! 」
Unlike last time, perhaps because of recognizing her whereabouts, they smiled at her.
He returned their smiles.
「Ah, thank you. I'm Masayuki. Like Rimuru, I am a world traveler. They call me a hero, but it's just a joke, so just ignore 」
Unlike last time, he introduced himself properly.
What an incredible increase. Unlike last time, they recognized Masayuki and are now able to have a conversation.
「But Ramiris is a fairy, yes. To be able to create an amazing maze .. You are amazing! 」
To Masayuki's praise,
「Eh! You, I like you. I'll make you my follower.
And did you hear, Rimuru? He said I was awesome! 」
Coming at me with a falling kick, Ramiris exclaimed proudly.
It sucks .
I easily avoided the falling kick,
"Yes, right . It's amazing, it's incredible. Besides, if Masayuki wants to follow you, I have no problem with that, you know? 」
I'm responding.
Demon lord and hero. I guess it's fine.
「Umm, what kind of person is Ramiris-san?
And, what about Veldora ... san? Rimuru's friend? 」
「Eh, yes. Don't you know?
Ramiris is one of the demon kings. And Veldora is a dragon 」
"Huh what? Demon King and Dragon? EHH? Serious ~ su ?! 」
Masayuki …
Given his last behavior, I think he just had the guts.
But he doesn't know. Ignorance is happiness.
And now that he knew, that they were dragons and demon kings, it seemed that his soul had escaped from his body …
Does it have anything to do with 『Heritage Removal』 – that is, is its own environment affected?
Thinking about these things, I decided to ask Masayuki.
「Ah, well, I did plan to disable the skill, but …
『You negotiated with the demon lord and reduced the difficulty of the dungeon ... as expected of our hero !!!』
My friends said, praising my name.
And, well, they're inside that dungeon, so let me say thank you .. 」
That's what he said.
So his luck was not related to skill but rather his nature.
I was honestly surprised.
After completing our self-introduction, we turned to the problem on the table.
Our sales are going well.
Myormiles was very happy.
The challengers came out and challenged the labyrinth repeatedly.
They came to buy our goods again and again, so we easily served a thousand people a day.
Now, as Masayuki suggested: drops.
We need to find out about the monsters that dropped unknown items and equipment.
But, drops are a very difficult topic. Usually, the most monsters dropped raw materials or stones …
「Why is this necessary?」
Veldora asked.
Response,
"Huh? Well, there are some who do not recover naturally and will suffer defeat as a result, right? So, I thought: wouldn't it be better if monsters dropped potions? And, for unidentified equipment: when they pick it up, they have to leave the labyrinth to be assessed, right? And by providing such services we can make more money. We can also mix poison with the herb .. 」
I saw .
Get the treasure from the treasure chest and some trash from the monsters, huh?
Unidentified, yes; it excites me. I will be very happy when it is assessed.
Perhaps we will also increase the difficulty in the part where there are such drops.
And I bet there will be people packing full of trash drops for resale in the city.
"I saw . Well, just maybe, will we shift the labyrinth now? 」
I asked . Overall, I am quite satisfied with the situation.
"That sounds good"
Ramiris said, as if knowing everything.
Hey, do you really understand what I'm asking? I sent a quick glance at her, but she averted her gaze.
So he just goes with the flow.
Besides, the,
We all nodded, having reached a general consensus.
Letting monsters swallow trash was surprisingly easy, in fact.
Trainees and Dryad help with that.
After the space magic to put the trash in front of them the monsters simply swallowed it.
Monsters spawn randomly on the initial floor, so there is nothing we can do about it, but the floor past 6 has a monster room, so we can prepare it in advance.
By delivering magical energy through the pipe, we can control when monsters will appear, and in front of it we can drop items.
Of course, some items will be held by trap monsters, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Managing the spawning of all monsters would be annoying, if not for letting them lay their eggs in one room.
We fill the room with monsters, distribute time, and release monsters.
Thus, we can quickly fill the basement with drops.
And thus our dungeon is almost finished.
The 95th floor we made became a city.
To the elven women who cleaned, cooked, and managed our inn.
They are an incredible workforce, and I will ask them to leave in that city.
Of course, not only the women, but also the men.
The traitors and dryads are already entrenched there, building a tree town.
And thus a beautiful city appeared in the middle of the floor.
Fairy Town.
The elves would definitely be quieter living among the trees.
Therefore, they expressed their joy with gratitude. And emigrate them with a hopeful heart.
Of course, they could manage the inns and bars on their own.
There were a number of man-made inns on that floor, just like at the other stash points.
Managing all of that is an older covenant.
Oh, and since there is a possibility of traitors appearing in this labyrinth, we decided to invite them to guide and support the adventurers.
Of course, they gladly accepted.
So, we finished changing the labyrinth, and our workload decreased by one level.
It seems like the refreshing of the floor is coming again.
By the time we finished the basement, someone had broken through to the tenth floor.
According to the announcement, the 10th floor guard, Mr. Ogre has appeared.
The city is rather lively
The group that managed to break through that far was Hero Masayuki's group.
『Ma ~ sayuki, Ma ~~ sayuki !!』
They cheer.
Although his expression was a narrow smile, it definitely looked dazzling to the spectators.
Mr. Ogre is a "B +" ranked monster, but definitely not an enemy to Masayuki's group.
In fact, his comrades were somewhat skilled, and were able to escape even difficult situations unscathed.
Ogre Lord dropped an item from the giant series.
The drops this time were: ogre axe and oxe shin guard.
As part of the series, this is a rare item.
The choice of weapon is random. Try your luck again if you don't like it.
But just looking at this weapon made the eyes of the adventurers change.
Until now they were aiming for marginal gains but all that is changing now.
A boss appeared once every hour and if he was defeated, he would have to wait another hour.
And when the boss is defeated, the floor save point appears.
Once you cross through this floor, you will never be able to return to this boss fight.
That's to prevent people from hogging bosses.
This boss dropped the item box.
So you do not know what equipment you get before opening it. Regardless of the type, however, it will be part of a giant series.
And as the boss of "B +", it can definitely be defeated by a team of six.
This news quickly spread among all the adventurers.
Greatly increase the number of challengers.
As planned .
Until now, there was not a single person in the world who had never heard of Tempest, the labyrinth city.
