I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it. I'm tired. It's exhausting to attack two dungeons.

After returning from the "Dungeon of the Demon Realm," Euphine, while relaxing her stiff shoulders, told Monica, who was standing next to her, "I've been thinking about how I can make the most of the time I have left here.

I can't believe they made us go through all these dungeons just because it's the best time to play. I'll have to ask Roland to buy me something to make it worth it,....... Monica? Where are you going? Hey."

Are you going to use her as a bargaining chip?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, it's not like that. It's just that it's urgent that we deal with the "golden eagle," which has gone out of control, and we don't have a lot of time to spare.

The atmosphere inside the building of the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" was full of energy, as if the victorious mood had not yet cooled.

　On the other hand, there was also an atmosphere of disquiet that could not be hidden.

You're not going to leave the Guardians of the Magical Tree just like that, are you?"

This is ridiculous. Why would Mr. Roland return to the "Golden Eagle" after all this time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Euphine snapped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The days when the Golden Eagle was the best guild in town are behind us. Now the 'Guardians of the Magical Tree' are by far the most dominant.

'Yes, that's right. So we have to focus on what's in front of us. We need to train our status and manage the dungeon in preparation for the dungeon's emergence next season. We have three dungeons now, and we're in a lot of trouble.

　Since returning from the dungeon, Monica had passed Roland several times, but he always gave her a difficult look and never said a word.

　Roland showed up at the Spirit's arsenal to make arrangements for the dungeon management.

　As soon as he entered the workshop, he could hear Ranju talking with the salesman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'So, he said he can't take on any work for less than 500,000 gold. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't make it, because I've been waiting months for a one-million-gold job. Oh, Mr. Roland. I'm sorry. I'll see you later."

　Roland said that much and headed for the conference room with Lange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As they walked, they began to confer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The ore stockpiled in our workshop now consists of 50 silver ores, 20 earthcraft ores, 20 dianite ores, and iron ores. 100 pieces. Next month's production will require 300 silver ore, 300 earthcraft, and 10 00 is needed, so 250 silver ores and 28 earthcrafts are needed from the mine in this dungeon management. I would like to mine 0 and 900 pieces of iron.

I see.

　Locations where ore could be mined were marked with red check marks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are five ore deposits in the dungeon where more than 1,000 ores can be mined. One at the 9th, 11th, and 22nd levels in the "Mine Dungeon. One on the 13th level in the "Forest Dungeon. And one on the 8th level of the Dungeon of the Demon Realm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Five.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. So we need five units to convoy the alchemists and drive the monsters away from the vicinity of the ore deposit. What do you think? Can we prepare five units?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure. I think the limit is three if you only have the "Guardian of the Magic Tree". However, it would be a bad idea to ask someone else to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe with the help of the Gilded Eagle?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The new silversmith?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, to be honest, Cheal alone is reaching his limits. She is not only responsible for silverware, but also for the development of new weapons and the maintenance of the 'silver iron breaking bow' and other weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Certainly, Cheal's physical strength is limited."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland looked through the glass window toward the workshop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The workshop and conference room were separated by a glass window, and from the window of the second-floor conference room, he could always see the workers at work in the first-floor workshop.

(It consumes 10 stamina to make one silverware. She also needs to manufacture and design other weapons, so her current limit with Cheal is 1 silverware per day, or 20 silverware per month. If we want to increase profits in the future, we will have to make more silverware and weapons. ...... It will certainly be hard for Cheal to do it all by herself.)

No, what can I say? I'm glad I hired you."

Dorwin stopped tapping his hand when Jill suddenly spoke to him. Without it, I would not have been able to defeat the Skull Dragon.

That's not a weapon I made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

It was Cheal who designed that thing," he said. I couldn't take advantage of the new material."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't think it was possible to make a weapon out of that material. It was too heavy to make a sword. But she came up with the idea of making a hammer in the shape of a sword. I just made it as she said. I'm sure she's far ahead of me in terms of design.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm. That's rare. You're so complimentary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nothing. I'm just telling you the truth. But more importantly, are you all right?"

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He betrayed the Gilded Eagle so blatantly. I was still following Lukius' orders, so I have an excuse. Some people resent you. Especially those who belong to Arik's group. If only you hadn't betrayed us, we would have won.

I have no regrets.

All I wanted was to restore Mr. Roland's honor. I just wanted to repay Mr. Roland. I'm prepared to take any blame for that. That's why ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Well, that's admirable loyalty. Well, it has nothing to do with me. But what are you going to do with this 'broken dragon hammer'? It's owned by the Golden Eagle. If you get kicked out of town, there will be no one left to use it.

(d*mn. I can't help it.)

I wasn't sure whether to tell you or not. But I'll tell you something.

The next head of the Golden Eagle guild might be Roland.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday, I saw a carriage parked at the "Keeper of the Magic Tree" building. The banker's carriage. He is the financier of the Golden Eagle. Rumor has it that he may have come to ask Mr. Roland to become the head of the guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　But then ...... Mr. Roland is coming back?　The Golden Eagle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know. It's just a rumor. Roland has his reasons.

I see. That's right, isn't it?

But if you ask, or ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think you can ask me to do that. Even if it was just to save my life again. I can't ...... cause you any more trouble."

　At that moment, a child's voice echoed through the workshop.

'Jill-saaan!'

Cheal," Dorwin says. And Mr. Roland. ......."

I brought Mr. Roland with me. Let's start adjusting the 'Breaking Dragon Hammer' right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland appraised the item "Halyu Tsui".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Status of the hammer

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Weight: 96

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Capacity: 96

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Power: 200

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Durability: 200

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Weighing 96, it is still unbelievably heavy for a weapon. Considering that it can be equipped with armor, it cannot even be worn properly unless one's arm strength (power) is 96 or higher. Even if Jill is in good condition, it would be tough to walk around in a dungeon with it on. Probably, just by equipping it, you will have your status cut down. Furthermore, it has a capacity of 96, so even an A-class item owner would not be able to carry it around for very long. But on the other hand, it has a power and durability of 200, enough to kill even A-class monsters and boss monsters with a single blow, and a durability like a monster that will not break no matter how many times you use it.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How's it going?"　Mr. Roland."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"　Yeah, it's a great piece of equipment. But the weight and capacity are still a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know," he said. I don't know what to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cheal crosses his arms and ponders.

Look at this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland takes out a new material (Neocraft)+ from his pocket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aryeh discovered it. It's a new material (Neocraft) A. The thing is the same, but the weight and capacity are different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please lend me some of your equipment. It's true. It's a little lighter and has a smaller capacity. How did you find it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dorwin accepted it, checking its texture and peering into it with a loupe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This should save at least seven pounds," he said. It might be a little less powerful and durable, but it's still good enough. If we can adjust the design and train Jill's arm strength (power), I think we can operate it as regular equipment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm so glad you're here. Well then, Jill, please try equipping it as soon as possible. Let's adjust it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haha. Give me a break. I'm completely drained of status because of the "single point focus (burst)". I can't even hold a sword weighing 20 now.

I'm not sure I want to do that. It is difficult. If only the Golden Eagle would cooperate with us, we could make it work.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's up to Mr. Roland to decide.

　Dungeon management began.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it was impossible for the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" and the "Arsenal of Spirits" to manage all three dungeons, they were allowed to charge an entrance fee from guilds and adventurers who wanted to train their status or gather items in the dungeons.

　However, the mines where the best quality ore could be extracted were strictly controlled so that only the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" and the "Arsenal of Spirits" personnel were allowed to enter.

With "Ore Mining" as A, Ranju can dig out any ore from the ore deposit.
