Episode 165 Narukami Dungeon's scroll
After entering the hidden passage leading to the Boss room of the grassland dungeon, we proceeded to the back.
"This passage is perfect for leveling up because Orcs and Lizardmen appear."
After I explained, Taichi confirmed with me.
"Why are you not making this public?"
"Since there is a Boss room here, I thought I could use it to train Life Wizards. That's why, if a Life Magician is to use it, I don't mind if you tell them."
"Is that so."
"Hey, it's here."
I detected an Orc and warned them. Taichi and the others panicked and prepared their weapons. Only Sanae had a short spear, while the other three were armed with swords.
Taichi hit the Orc with a TriplePush. Three other TripleArrows pierced the Orc whose momentum was stopped. The Orc collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a magic stone.
"That's how it is. Let's continue to the entrance of the Boss room."
After defeating two Orcs and three Lizardmen, we arrived in front of the Boss room. When I looked inside, the OrcKnight was resurrected. Taichi and the others also confirmed the OrcKnight and their faces stiffened.
"Among all of you, Taichi is the only one who can damage the Dungeon Boss. Therefore, I would like everyone to go back and forth from the entrance to the front of the Boss room and train to defeat as many Orcs and Lizardmen as possible."
"I see, so it's still too early to challenge the OrcKnight."
Hikaru nodded in agreement.
"That's right. And then, when everyone's magic level rises, you can defeat the Dungeon Boss OrcKnight."
I explained the precautions when fighting Orcs and Lizardmen and how to fight an OrcKnight. I think they could defeat the OrcKnight with their current ability if they used the 'Thunder Bowl' that Taichi had learned.
However, the purpose of having them train here was to raise their magic levels and gain experience fighting humanoid monsters. Defeating the OrcKnight might raise their magic level, but they wouldn't get a lot of combat experience in a single battle.
If Taichi was the only one who could damage it, I didn't know if the magic levels of the other three would increase. The mechanism by which the magic level rises had not yet been elucidated.(TN:I thought they already determined that they get xp simply by hitting with 'Push' ...)
"Is it true that Grimm-sensei has become a C-class adventurer?"

Gou asked a question.
"It's true. I defeated a BlueOgre on the first floor of the Narukami Dungeon and passed the promotion exam."
"Amazing. You're diving into the Narukami Dungeon, aren't you. How far have you explored it?"
"It's still up to the second floor. I've heard that the second floor is a vast canyon area."
"What kind of strong monsters are there?"
"Since there was a BlueOgre on the first floor, there must be some tough monsters."
"Come to think of it, has no mineral deposit been discovered in the Narukami Dungeon?"
"There wasn't one found on the first floor."
It was expected that there may be no mineral deposits because the first layer was grassland and forest, but it was expected that promising mineral deposits may be discovered in the 2nd floor canyon area.
"Let's go back soon."
On the way back, we encountered Lizardmen and defeated them. At that time, Sanae's magic level rose to '4'.
After returning to the surface, we changed clothes at the Dungeon House and went to eat. We talked while eating at a family restaurant.
"As a team, do you need anything?"
I asked Taichi. After thinking about it,
"Let's see, I think we need a Magic Bag."
"But, it's not something that comes easily."
"I suppose. But, if it's the Mid-boss hunting battle, it's possible."
I explained about the Mid-boss hunting battle that was held once every six months. The next Mid-boss hunting battle would likely take place during the summer vacation.
"Mid-boss hunting battle, is it. For us to be in something that the Top 5 are in, it's kind of ..."
Taichi didn't seem confident. I thought it couldn't be helped. At this point in time, spring break was coming soon, and the other three members of his team were still G-class adventurers.
"Well, you should do your best with the goal of participating in the Mid-boss hunting battle."
One of the conditions for participating in the Mid-boss hunting battle was to have the ability to defeat the GoblinLord. Taichi and his friends were given the task of acquiring the ability to defeat the GoblinLord as a team by summer vacation.
When I separated from Taichi-tachi and went to the Adventurer's Guild, Ishibashi was reporting at the reception.
"Is that so. There's a Wyvern on the 2nd floor."
Some of the adventurers were chattering behind Ishibashi.
"We defeated the Wyvern as a team and found a treasure chest in the burrow."
'Sanshi Suimei' was led by Ishibashi, it was a well-balanced team with two Attack Wizards and two Muscle Wizards. His ability was also considerable, so even if I heard that he defeated a Wyvern, I could understand.
Ishibashi took out four scrolls.
"I want you to check what these scrolls are."
"As you wish. Give me a moment."
I approached Ishibashi and called out to him.
"Congratulations. It seems you played an active role."
"Ohh, Grimm-kun, is it. I'm happy to hear you say I played an active role, but I was just lucky today."
While I was asking about the state of the Narukami Dungeon, Maria, the receptionist who had gone to the back, came back.
"Ishibashi-sama, I checked them out. However, there is one item I couldn't identify. I'm very sorry."
"Fumu, that's a problem. If I don't know what's inside, it won't be worth much even if I put it up for auction."
I turned my attention to the scrolls Maria was holding. Three of the scrolls were tagged. The tags said what kind of scroll it was.
The remaining one didn't have a tag. The scroll was familiar. The pattern on the cover resembled the scroll on which the special magic circle of the D-Particle secondary mutation was drawn. However, there were some differences. The pattern was engraved on the tip of the shaft.
The shafts of the
"Ishibashi-san, can I check it for you?"
"I don't mind, but it's something that couldn't be understood even if they checked it with 'Item Analyze'."
"I thought I'd use a Magic Tool to find out."
I took out the appraisal monocle and showed it.
"Hou, you have something rare."
It seemed that Ishibashi knew about the appraisal monocle.
"When I looked into something similar to this, I was forced to learn the magic that was drawn. I think it's what happens when someone who meets the conditions sees it. What should I do if that's the case?"
Ishibashi frowned.
"Do you know what the condition is?"
"I think it requires the magic talent to be 'S'."
I thought it was actually the existence of the Sage System, but I was keeping that a secret so I deceived him. Ishibashi made an envious face when he found out that my magic talent for Life Magic was 'S'.
"At that time, I will have Grimm-kun buy it for a million Yen."
I put on the appraisal monocle and examined the scroll. Then, I realized that it was a scroll with a magic formation belonging to Attack Magic drawn on it.
When I said that, Ishibashi nodded.
"Even with an appraisal monocle, can you only tell is that it belongs to Attack Magic. I have no choice but to sell it at the auction."
"If it doesn't sell at the auction, what will happen?"
"It will be returned to the exhibitor, but what to do will be up to each person."
Ishibashi told me.
"There are people who ask the Adventurer's Guild to dispose of them."
Suddenly, Branch Chief Kondou's voice interrupted.
"What do you do with those scrolls?"
"I don't know if I should throw them away, so I keep them."
I wondered if there might be Life Magic scrolls, so I asked if I could see them.
"I don't mind, but they weren't priced at the auction."
