"Flame on, flame on, flare burst.

　When Linze cast the spell, a huge explosion occurred from five different places in succession, blowing up everything that was there.
　An enhanced version of 'Explosion'........or rather, it seems to be one of the original ancient magic. That's a ridiculously powerful one........ It was a good decision to come out to the plains and not the training grounds.

''We did it. I guess the fire attribute was better suited to Linse after all.
''...I couldn't have made it this far on my own. With Leanne's help....
''I'm the worst attributed to the fire attribute. It's not just me, but all the fairy folk are like that. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well. I'm sure the race originally lived in the forest, so maybe there is something in their subconscious that they avoid.

　As I recall, Lean has six attributes. Didn't she say that she only doesn't have the dark attribute? She said something like she couldn't use summoning magic, so she made Paula instead.
　The stuffed bear at Lean's feet was gutted when he saw the explosion. 'I don't think it's a very good substitute for a summoned beast, though.

'You've learned some kind of ancient magic on Lean's end too, haven't you?
'Yes. I'm on the water side.

　Lean stood in front of Linze, extending his hands forward, increasing the magic power of the water attribute.

''Water, come, great whirlpool of torrent, Meilstrom.

　A huge tornado of water appears in front of me and swallows me up as it scrapes the ground. It's hard to tell because there's no target, but it's a wide area annihilation magic. It's also terrific........

The drawback is that the amount of magic it consumes is high. Well, I think the effect is commensurate with that.

　If the power goes up, it's only natural that the amount of magic power consumption goes up as well. It's the right way to use magic to use it without waste depending on the situation. There is a limit to the amount of magic power.
　It's not just Lean and Lindsay that were powered up by the discovery of the library. Rosetta and Monica have requested access to a book on "magical engineering" and they've been trying things out.
　And recently Sue has been teaching Lean some magic. Although the only attribute of Sue is light, her magic amount is quite high. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
　It seems that they are also being practiced by Lapis-san and the others as usual. I wonder where on earth he is headed.....
　Pham came down to the ground and locked himself up in the castle's storeroom. That's a serious case. It's the end of a print addict, and if he's been complicating things for 5,000 years, there's no cure for him. It's incurable.
　In the afternoon, I turn up at the Adventurer's Guild. I try to come once a week. Mainly to get information from the guild master, Relisha-san, about various places, but sometimes I take quests as a distraction.
　I enter the guild with my hood on. It's as crowded as ever, but honestly, I think people who have noticed my identity have noticed. But there's no need for me to stand out from the crowd.

''You! Are you doing this?
'Oh! Very good, man, get out there!

　The two men walked out with a dexterous sideways walk, grabbing each other's chest. Again. Every time I come here, I feel like there's something going on. Well, I suppose this is an everyday occurrence.
　Adventurers are part of the problem, you know. As long as you don't cause trouble for the residents, you're bound to bump into each other.

Hello.
'Oh! Hey.........Aya, Fuyao-san, hello. Good job.

　I talk to the cat beastman sister at the reception desk. Her name is Misha, I believe. The cat's ears are twitching.

How are you feeling lately?
Yes, that's true. As usual, there are a lot of requests for miscellaneous tasks, but we do get a few merchant guards here and there as well. However, the problem is that you can't make much money here. Because of this, everyone has left quickly and there is no one here who is familiar with us. That's why there are so many new people here, and it's like that every day.

　Then he looks at the two guys outside beating each other up. I see. But why is it that adventurers often show off their "I'm awesome" appeal at the first meeting? I wonder if that's what they want to do, so that they don't get looked down upon. As a result, there will be more conflicts, though.
　It's a good thing that such people have come out of the beginner's class, but it's hard for them to reach a higher level, and they often run into a wall.
　It would be great if there was a veteran adventurer or something like that who could stare at such things.... There's no need for you to stay because you can't earn money in this country.
　Misha-san ushered me upstairs and I went into Relisha-san's room. The elven guildmaster, Relisha-san, who was putting away papers, looked up and suggested that I sit on the sofa.

''I'm glad. I was just about to contact you.
What's going on?

　I put the papers together and put them next to the desk, and holding something that looked like paper, Relisha-san sat down on the couch facing me.

'Two pieces of information and one suggestion. First, the dragon has appeared.
A dragon?
It's in the kingdom of Sandra, south of the Great Tree Sea. It is said that the dragon suddenly flew into a desert village, ravaged it, and then flew off to wherever it was. It's a common story, but in the same way, dragons appeared in Euron and Nokia, and the villages and towns were damaged. And all three dragons were different from each other.

　It's certainly strange..... I've been told that dragons live in mountainous areas where there aren't many people and rarely attack human settlements. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.
　When I first went to Mismid, the black dragon that attacked the village I visited was also a low-class species. After that, I met a red dragon that was a high class species and was very knowledgeable.

''Well, it could just be a coincidence. There are many things we still don't know about dragons, so it might be some kind of nesting period. We're investigating this one, so we'll see you soon. And I have another piece of information and a suggestion to go along with it...

　Relisha unfolded the map she had on the table between us. Hm? Where is the sea? There are several islands.

"It's a recently discovered archipelago south of the Kingdom of Sandra. Our research has uncovered ancient ruins on some of the islands, but they are too far away for us to explore and excavate them.
Why don't we take a boatload of people across?
''This island is not a good place to stay for a long time. There is a great difference in temperature, and there are many magical beasts here. I wondered why there were ancient ruins on an island like this, but perhaps when the ancient civilization was flourishing, these islands weren't a single, larger island...''

　The island has sunk in a long time, he said. That's not impossible. So the people of the island abandoned the land, and as a result, it has become an uninhabited island infested with magical beasts.......

''What's more, the problem is that this ancient ruin is a rather large underground labyrinth [dungeon]. It was probably created by an ancient mage or a wise man, but if that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising if there were any treasures sleeping here. As a guild, we can't afford to miss this.

　Well, I guess so. It's like discovering a treasure trove. I've never gone into an underground labyrinth, but I've heard that they can be found here and there throughout the world.

Normally, these kinds of underground labyrinths or dungeons are usually requested by adventurers and asked to explore them. But because of the location, it's not so easy to do. That's where I would like to make a suggestion.

　Relisha-san comes leaning in all the way. What is it? Wait, it's close. I don't feel bad about being pestered by a beautiful woman.

"His Majesty asks His Majesty to connect the island where the dungeon is located with Brunhild by means of the Gate.
What?

　What do you mean? Connecting this country to the island in the dungeon? What's the point in doing that?

In other words, I want the city to be a gateway for adventurers to explore the underground maze of dungeons. If adventurers from the underground labyrinths or dungeons gather in this country, the city will grow. The guild will be able to send adventurers, investigate, and purchase treasures and materials for magical beasts from them. What do you think?

　Haha, I see. It's true that if it's crowded with adventurers who want to get rich, the innkeepers, weapon shops, armor shops, tool shops, and business will flourish. Moreover, it's sure to attract people as well. Not bad, huh?
　We can take measures to prevent those monsters from coming to us, so it's not difficult. You want to revitalize the town with an underground dungeon?

'Some questions. Isn't that island the territory of some country?
''We are currently monitoring the guild, but it doesn't belong to any country. If the proposal I just made is acceptable, I would be willing to give it to the Principality. Of course, that is if you can guarantee me information about the ruins and preferential rights to sell the treasures and other treasures that adventurers have obtained in the underground labyrinth, the Dungeon.
''One more question. Didn't you ever think that by divulging such information, I would directly explore the underground labyrinth (dungeon) and keep the treasure to myself?
''Huh. Who would do such a thing to unite the kings of the world and try to defeat Fraise? I'll still be able to see people as a guildmaster in this.

　It seems that I got a lot of money for it. I can't afford to disappoint you, can I?
　It's certainly a tasty deal, and rather than me ending up exploring, it's more beneficial for all adventurers, guilds, and merchants. There is money to be made just by exploring and making a map. Such mapmakers (mappers) would also appear.
　As for the underground labyrinths, do the magical beasts get stronger as they go down the levels? I think I've heard that the magic element is richer underground, and the stronger monsters tend to live there.
　The magical beasts may cause some injuries and deaths, but as an adventurer, you should always be prepared for that.

''I understand. I'll accept that proposal.
Thank you. We'll be building a gate to the underground labyrinth [dungeon] and a guild branch office at the outskirts of town, so please grant me a 'gate' when you've completed it.

　An underground dungeon, huh? I hope this will make the city more lively. Maybe I should do a little advance research.
