Chapter 89 Merits and Demerits

After that, I continued to gather information from Leon-san, and he told me various things.

First, the 31st to 35th floors are humid and hot, and the monsters that appear are powerful, so it’s difficult to even take a break.

「That’s why all the adventurers are resting in this room even if their factions are different.」

Also, people from major clans use numbers and information as weapons to deal with monsters, but… there are many cases where people who don’t belong to a clan can’t take countermeasures.

Therefore, many high-ranked adventurers reached the limit around this floor if they don’t belong to a clan.

「It is easy for people of a major clan since they have manuals, but that kind of information is top secret and never leaked to the outside.」

Even the maps and strategy guides sold at the Adventurer’s Guild only have rough information on the 31st floor and beyond.

As Leon-san said, it must have been the result of the clans hiding the information even from the guild.

On the other hand, it’s also a good thing for us.

Since most adventurers dropped out on the ice floor, only high-ranked adventurers belonging to major clans or parties with outstanding abilities could advance from this point.

Therefore, we don’t have to deal with adventurers who are all talk, so it seems that we won’t accumulate unnecessary stress.

After returning to the tent and changing places with Esther, I wrapped myself up in a blanket and thought about our future plans.

The 31st to 35th floors are the so-called jungle area.

We could harvest sweet and tasty fruits, and the monsters’ materials are easy to sell.

And since there’s a lack of maps and strategy guides, we can get a huge amount of money and achievements just by selling information to the guild.

Yeah, I guess it’s about time to start exploring in earnest.

The other thing I need to do is to sell accessories with <Water Magic 1>.

Seeing the adventurers in this safe area made me think that there are too many people in the labyrinth who can’t secure enough water to live a civilized life.

In our case, even if we can’t use water magic, we can go to the ice area to get snow and return to the safe area to melt it.

We can even put a lot of water in the item box.

However, according to Leon-san… the third army of <Elder Tree> can’t go back and forth easily since there will be some casualties if they are not careful in the boss battle on the 30th floor.

Of course, they don’t have an item box, and their magic bags are full of materials and preserved food, so they don’t have any space for bath water.

If I sell some of <Water Magic 1> equipment… non-magicians can use MP that they don’t usually use to make water and their standard of living will go up dramatically.

Since it’s something that’s in demand, it’ll sell for a good price and my wallet will be happy….

Until now, I only made exclusive enchanted items since I didn’t want the crown prince or people from Nonland to obtain them and use them….

However, their lives are over now.

From now on, there’s no need to limit the users.

As for the demerits of selling enchanted items… there’s a high possibility that people will try to use them for military purposes, and the possibility of conflicts over the items.

When we return to the surface, let’s consult with the guild and the country and discuss it thoroughly before selling them.

When I was resting while thinking about the future, it seems that I fell asleep before I knew it.

Even though I was tired, I think it was bold to fall asleep in a place with so many people.

Ian was sleeping next to me, so I rushed out of the tent and saw that Esther and Nina were keeping watch seriously.

It seems that they took over the lookout when I was sleeping.

「Master’s sleeping face was cute ♪」

「Stop it….」

""

I let my guard down too much that I didn’t even notice Nina’s gaze… I have to reflect on that

Since I had enough rest, I instructed Esther and Nina to take another nap and took over the lookout.

It seems that the other adventurers in the safe area are also resting by turns.

Although my physical fatigue has almost disappeared, I feel very hungry.

In the ice area, we could only eat dried meat and soup, and we haven’t eaten anything since we entered the safe area.

When I nibbled on the dried meat because I couldn’t bear the hunger, the feeling of hunger subsided a little, but I didn’t feel satisfied at all….

When we get down to the 31st floor, let’s find a safe place where there’s no one around and eat delicious food until we’re full.

「We’re going down now. It’s going to be hot and humid, so make sure to wear a thin layer of underwear.」

Since the other three seemed to have had enough rest, we decided to escape from the safe area.

I put up with it since I didn’t have any other choice, but… the stench is worse than the place where I bought Ian….

The floor isn’t dirty since excrement is absorbed by the labyrinth, but… the smell remains….

I can’t wait to get down to the 31st floor and have every pore cleansed by the smell of Nina’s food and sweet fruits!
