"...what?"

　Ray stops trying to put sandwiches into the worker's mouth and turns a doubtful glance at what he's saying.
　A dungeon formed on a mountain near the town of Goltz.
　It's understandable to Ray, and it's rare, but not so rare.
　Actually, there were two dungeons near Gilmoo.
　But Ray couldn't quite tell that a dungeon had formed on the cliff wall.

"Well, did you hear me wrong?"
"If there's a dungeon on the wall of a cliff ... exactly what looks like a dungeon, it's nothing wrong to hear."
"...how did you know that there was a dungeon in the first place? For some reason, can't you think that there was only a hole in the dungeon that looked like a dungeon?"

　It was only natural that Ray should have doubts.
　If there is a cave-like hole in the cliff, it is unlikely, but it cannot be said never.
　However, Ray's words made the worker smile as if he had listened to them.

"Well, if there's only a hole in the wall of a cliff, it's not necessarily a dungeon, but ... at least the hole in the wall ... well, let's call it a cave for now. It's true that there are goblins, cobolts, oaks ... and so on."
"Why do you say that? Did you see monsters coming out of the cave, or did you go down there if it was on the cliff wall?"

　If you're talking about a cave on the wall of a cliff, it's going to be very difficult to find out where monsters are... or if they're not monsters, there's any animal.
　The best way to examine the cave is still to go down the cliff as Ray said and check directly into it.
　But workers deny it.

"No. The cliff seems to be mixed with special ore, and it's very slippery. But it's sharp and sharp, and I wonder if it's possible to imitate going down from above."
"I think I can wear a lifeline and pull down an adventurer, but how can a sharp rock do that with armor and shields? . . . . . . .
"There is a high possibility of course.
"...how did you eventually decide that there was a monster in the cave?"
"It's easy. Under the cave... No, in this case, under the cliff, because there are bodies of monsters like Goblin, Cobold, and Oak that I mentioned earlier, as well as bodies that seem to have fallen to their deaths."
"What?"

　Again, Ray looks at what the worker is saying.
　But while workers eat Lenora homemade sandwiches, they don't seem to laugh, especially as a joke.
　In other words, what the worker said is the absolute truth.

"Well... what is that? I mean, monsters come out of what you think is a dungeon on the wall, fall down from a high place and die without permission. Is that's what you mean.
"Yes. I don't think it's a good idea to say that Mr. Ray is right. Thanks to you... but these days, it's popular to pick up monster materials and stones under the cliffs, even if you're not an adventurer. Incidentally, oak is the most popular."
"Ah... well, that's what it will be."

　Oaks themselves are reasonably strong, especially for women, as bad as goblins.
　However, such oak meat has an undeserved taste.
　It's almost as good as the taste of the meat that's normally sold there.

"In addition, given the fact that monsters have been mass-produced almost every day over the last few months, it's a little hard to imagine that there was a monster in a cave created by chance."
"Well, isn't it more likely that the cave will be connected somewhere else in the mountain? Monsters aren't all of a sudden somewhere else."
"Of course there is a possibility of that ... or even in Goltz, worrying about it, he explored the mountains on a fairly large scale."

　The presence of goltz is not a frontier, even in the countryside by side.
　In other words, it's very rare, if not none, for monsters like oak to appear.
　That's why, almost every day... or in some cases, every few hours, they felt unusual.
　If you're also making a settlement nearby in Oak... or in Goblin or Cobold, the villages and towns around Goltz are dangerous.
　With that in mind, Goltz gathered adventurers and hunters from surrounding villages and towns to conduct extensive research on the mountain.

"...but in the end, we couldn't find a place connected to the cave. Of course, the mountain where the dungeon was built is quite large and large, so we may have missed it...there are very few reports of monster damage in the vicinity."

　The worker's words mean that there are no other monsters around, or even few.

"Then the possibility remains that the cave is still in Goltz, or even further away from it, rather than in the vicinity."
"Dungeon?"

　The workers hold on to Ray's words.
　Of course there are many other suspicious possibilities, but the most likely ones are dungeons.

"But if the dungeon is on the wall of a cliff, and the wall is slippery and has sharp stones, you can't climb up or down. And if the dungeon is just built, wouldn't you be in such a hurry?"
"Well, I think so too, especially given the current situation in Gilm, it's hard for Ray to get out."
"But is there anything that you have brought me?"
"Yes. I heard that the number of monsters dying under cliffs is suddenly increasing recently, and even monsters like I've never seen before are there."
"And talk to a worker?"
"Yes. I had many guildmasters over there when I was young."

　He was a worker who spoke of his youth, but his appearance doesn't look like he's getting older.
　Ray couldn't understand how old he was when he was young, but he could still understand the friendly relationship between Goltz's guildmaster and the worker.

"In other words, is it possible that the dungeon will become bigger?"
"Yes. Dungeon expansion depends on his personality, apparently Goltz's dungeon is quick."

　I guess that's why they hurriedly contacted the workers.

"And you want me to go and capture Dungeon?"
"Well, of course I wouldn't force it, but as long as it's a dungeon with a doorway on the cliff wall, if it's the wing of a red lotus with a means of transportation called a set."
"It's a dungeon in such a place,"

　a dungeon on the wall of a cliff with slippery and sharp rocks
　Such a dungeon would risk your life even going in.
　It would also be difficult to take a porter with you like a normal dungeon, as long as you are in such a place.
　Then, as a matter of course, it became a means of flying, and in that sense, it was only natural that expectations for the lay owners would rise.

"Well, then, what do you think?"

　When a worker asks me, "Do you want to challenge dungeon?", I wonder what I should do.
　No, in terms of whether or not to challenge the dungeon, it has already been decided that I will challenge it.
　geographical manipulation, one of the skills of deathIn order to raise this skill level at Level 3, we need to destroy the nucleus of the labyrinth in death size.

(Well, maybe there are other ways to increase the level of terrain manipulation, but as long as we know that the quickest way to destroy the core of a dungeon is to kill it, we don't have the option to miss that opportunity.)

　In the sense of destroying the dungeon's nuclear weapons, the dungeon in Egzil is the best, though Ray didn't know if the expression "new born" in this story was correct.
　Dungeons are not that big, and it's not difficult to get to where the dungeons are.
　However, I'm worried about the dungeon.

"I think it's worth considering, but are the inhabitants of Goltz, especially adventurers, convinced?"

　Yes, Ray asks.
　As a Goltz resident, a monster that comes out of a dungeon without doing anything will fall to the ground and die.
　How often exactly does it happen…and how many die a day?
　Ray didn't know what was going on around that time, but since he can earn money without doing anything, it's no wonder that some people don't like Dungeon's strategy.
　In theory, dungeons are growing, and they know that in the future, the city they live in may be severely damaged.
　But if there's any money that's dangled in the near future, there's no doubt that anyone will jump at it.
　Adventurers in particular are dangerous occupations.
　It's no mistake to say that depending on your job, you're paid for your life.
　For these adventurers, targeting dungeons means they will no longer earn extra money.
　We could have headed for the Goltz to capture the dungeon, but there was no doubt that it would be a lot of trouble if we were to sabotage the sun behind us.

(Well, at worst, like when I went to the ocean, I think I should build a base somewhere else and sleep there.)

　This is because there is a mystery ring where you can store and carry a large amount of food and other necessities.
　A normal adventurer would never do such a thing.
　...however, this kind of request may have been brought in because the laymen are not so common.

"I don't think everyone is completely satisfied, but if you use force, you can fight back and if you do a little too much, you can say it's okay. ... Just a little."

　Ray's past behavior probably made him wonder if he was going too far.
　Ray opens his mouth with a smile at the thoughtful remark.

"I haven't agreed to capture Dungeon yet. And if I go to Dungeon, I can't even participate in the subjugation of Gamerion."

　For Ray, it's rather harsh that he can't hunt gamerions.
　I wanted to participate in the annual event if possible. ... The latter, of course, is more important than the core of the dungeon.
　The reason why Ray launched a Gamerion hunt here is purely for negotiation.
　If you're going to dungeon anyway, it's natural to think that it's better to get even a little more reward.
　But... the worker who heard Ray's words shakes his head regretfully.

"I see. Well, this isn't really a nomination request, so I can't pay you any particular reward. And Mr. Ray has also been a great help to the extension. That's why I can't say too much. I understand. I'm sorry, but to other adventurers..."
"Wait,"

　Ray reflexively says so to a worker who tries to end the conversation dumbly.
　I didn't expect a worker who brought me a dungeon story would finish it so easily.

"What?"

　a worker who glances curiously at Ray's words
　It wasn't a joke or anything, but it really seemed like we were going to stop talking here.
　Ray, who understands this from the worker's expression, eventually nods reluctantly.

"Okay, we'll do that dungeon attack. If the marinas don't work, I'll go alone."

　Yes, I told him.
