Year 7446, Month 8, Day 12Originally we had intended to spend another day for a total of one week in the dungeon but I told Cathy to return to Baldukk this evening. The {Exterminators} should have carried the supplies to the 4th floor twice and since the {Butchers} have Zenom with them they should have carried all of that to the 6th floor as well. And I guess we"ll know on our way back.
When we teleported back to the 6th floor the {Butchers} were all chatting around Zenom in the teleport room. It seems they were waiting and intended on returning with us.
"Greed-kun! Zenom-san is amazing!"
"That"s right, thanks to that we were able to concentrate on the remaining ogre with all of us.."
"Yeah, as expected.."
Judging from the state of things it seems they took down a number of ogres so shouldn"t he have profited big time?
It seems that if Rokko was just a bit later they would have ended up having to fight in the bushes where the footing was a bit bad.
Just, Zenom said, "Even if the footing is a bit bad if it"s just that level of situation there"s anything that can be done. I don"t really get him." and laughed. Even if he has the power to make decisions, he doesn"t have the power to make judgements..I guess? I use the spell {Cure All} on Rokko and just in case had Miduchi use {Cure All} as well before whispering, "Actions are things someone is always watching." into Rokko"s ear and leaving it at that.
There was over 70 kg in supplies gathered in the teleport room on this 6th floor focused around soap, extra arrows, wheat and soba flour, hen"s eggs, olives, and other preserved foods and consumables that last for a while, and it"ll largely come in handy on the next time we explore the dungeon I"m sure.
We returned to the surface and after heading towards the Baldoggie cart that Murowa took over from us, the {Exterminators} were already there biting into Baldoggie. Zulu was pleasantly talking with the Laios sis that was acting as the sales clerk about something in a corner of the plaza. Well, it"s fine though.
I bit into one of the spicy gems that is the type with chili in it as I contributed to Murowa"s sales. Different from the {Slaughterers} cart which only had children Murowa"s cart was serving beer as well. After all you"ve gotta have some beer with sausage right. Though it"s not chilled. It might just be my imagination but I feel like the Murowa cart has a lot of customers. Ah, I guess it"s because there"s 30 of us?
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 16
After taking a three day break, we"re entering the dungeon once again.
It means we"ll be spending two consecutive weeks on the 9th floor.
....................
I was just a bit worried about it but all of our precious supplies were fine without any abnormalities.
And then after carrying some more bags again it"s necessary to take them to the 8th floor.
If possible I"d like to catch the Mino off guard so we need to return within 17 hours.
And then, without resting we"ll clear through the 7th floor in the middle of the night and then get some rest in the teleport room on the 7th floor.
.......................
Because we had good teleport luck, we managed to arrive at the teleport room on the 7th floor at 8 in the morning.
17 hours later is 6 am tomorrow morning.
It"s fine if I just stick Zulu and Giberuti who can"t use magic into the middle.
I was tired so I quickly dozed off.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 19
Now then, it"s the 9th floor.
I raised my fighting spirit while taking the magic stone from the Mino and dragging it"s corpse into the distance.
The only harvest for today was filling in some blanks on the map.
If Toris kills the crabs using {Flame.Tongue} somehow they don"t feel like they"re fresh.
We end up finishing off a considerable number of them so the ones that are as cleanly killed as possible are best right.
Though the trash stinks so we end up having to take it quite a bit of distance to throw away.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 20
The exploration is proceeding with a good feel to it.
I"m glad we brought the pickax along with us.
It was a splendid gold ore that was close to 100 kg.
8 of them at the 10 kg size.
I was getting full of myself as I even carved the characters "K24" in English and Arabic numerals but Toris and Bel retorted on it so I returned it to normal.
Even though the idiot Ralpha said, "It"s pure gold!" and was greatly pleased.
We split them up and returned to the 8th floor once carrying them.
.......................
It was from an altar again this time. The size seems to be just a bit bigger than last time.
This area is probably that.
We came out into an awfully s.p.a.cious place.
I"m not so optimistic that I would bet on being able to use them.
We should explore a different pa.s.sage from here.
I see.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 22
We returned to the teleport room on the 6th floor.
It"s meat.
Oh~ isn"t there even some dried meineiji!
As expected of my slave.
..Hn?
Huh?
Chi..So even {Black.Topaz} has cleared through the 6th floor and started showing their face here huh?
Inside of the shower bucket there was money just like with {Verdure.Brotherhood}.
I made a bitter smile.
We took our time on the 7th floor finishing off about 40 ogres.
Of course, we didn"t encounter {Verdure.Brotherhood} either.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 23
Exploring the 9th floor is proceeding smoothly.
Toris"s {Flame.Tongue} is thirsty for the blood of trolls once again tonight~
We didn"t run into an altar room but we"ve explored quite a bit.
No matter when I eat dried fish it"s delicious.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 24
We obtained a {Magical.Weapon}.
There"s a total of two dozen, 24 of them.
【Arrow.Of.Blindness】
According to my 【Identify】 any living creature that this arrow stabs into regardless of the size or where the wound is located, if the entire arrowhead stabs in deep enough to be hidden then it seems the target will fall into a completely blind state for at least 5 minutes.
Shall we use them?
No, when it comes to swords, axes, and other {Magic.Items} I think it"s fine even if we sell them.
"It"s hard to imagine them having any other ability than that right."
Basutoral and Bel were talking.
"Oh, I see. That"s a good idea."
Certainly Ralpha"s viewpoint was good.
Particularly attack spells which almost all of them require setting a target.
If they have a skill level like mine and don"t do anything else at all(not even breathing) while concentrating even then wouldn"t it take several seconds to several tens of seconds?
......................
There was an altar room but it was empty.
It"s boring but we"re still properly filling in the map so it"s fine.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 26
Once again today we ran into an altar room and it was empty as well.
.........................
Hey~?
Eh?
Then that"s fine though.
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 28
We went to the 6th floor in order to replenish our food.
It"s even developed up to the same level as {Verdure.Brotherhoods}.
......................
This is.
Is it the extravagant version of the altar room!?
It was just two monster rooms stuck together consecutively.
s.h.i.t.
Not to mention there wasn"t even a normal altar in them.
Since we haven"t found anything since obtaining the 【Arrow.Of.Blindness】 it seems I"m a bit irritated.
Calmly thinking about it and you could say we"ve already gotten actual results above the amount of time we"ve spent exploring this time.
We"ve never found this much treasure in such a short period of time up until now.
Though I say that, the only thing we can sell is just the gold bars.
It"s a total of 80 kg.
This time it"s four times that amount.
【Beech Wood.Iron】
【Manufacture Date: 29/8/7446】
【Durability: 678】
【Effect: Capable of refrigeration of goods stored inside. No function for adjusting the humidity.】
Since the Durability is a bit higher than the previous one we found it"s value is a bit higher.
Uhihi~
Year 7446, Month 8, Day 30
Now then, today is the final day.
Mu.
That"s a bad omen.
We teleported back in once more.
It"s {Let"s go}.
Ralpha and Gwine didn"t react at all but I was told "That"s old" by Basutoral.
Is..Is that so?
Soon after the area we teleported into there was a forked path.
Though there"s no basis for it.
Mu.
I guess this was the right answer?
...
.....
Ho.
Shall we end things here for today?
We made the {Green Poison Lizard} that was summoned into namasu, burnt away the Kobolds, and then cut off the heads of the gargoyles.
Well now then, it"s the last try.
Or maybe nothing will?
"Ah!!"
Since we don"t have Angela like usual this time I have Zulu searching the shrine but it seems something was there.
"Master! Congratulations! It seems to be a ring!"
""Oh~!""
I spontaneously let my voice out as well.
If it"s that much then even I know about it.
Seeing a tall Laios hunch over while preciously holding a small ring was a bit humorous.
Hohou.
It has a gem embedded in it.
On the opposite side of where the gem is embedded it"s small but there"s a gap opened up in it.
It"s a ring after all, just in case.
There"s a reaction.
Zulu already touched it without his gloves on so it should be fine.
"{Status Open}"
【Ring.Of.Protection】
"Ooh!!"
I spontaneously let out my voice again.
"What is it?"
Though that"s only obvious.
【Gold.Sapphire】
【Manufacture Date: 30/8/7446】
【Durability: 50】
【Effect: In the case that the target who equips this ring undergoes something where they receive damage to their HP, through the mana in the ring it will reduce the damage taken by just 1 HP. The amount of damage it"s possible to reduce is up to 1 HP per day.】
That"s pretty dull.
"The name is amazing. It"s supposedly the 【Ring.Of.Protection】."
""Ho~!""
Bel was nearby so I dropped the ring onto the palm of her hand.
Everyone is looking at the name of it while saying Kya~kya~
Isn"t this the ideal thing to try selling?
