243 Chapter 17-2 Holes

With the Duke of Sanga giving up the carriage, the Counts didn't say anything about wanting a carriage. Instead, he looked at the technology applied to the carriage and tried to find out how it was made. Well, don't talk about the key internal mechanisms, as you can see from the outside... the Counts were happy, but they didn't seem to have much information from the Duke of Sanga, because they confined themselves to explaining the rubber tires that were made of frog material used on the wheels and the board springs that were installed between the axles and the box.

I apologize to the counts who were satisfied with my explanation, but the most distinctive feature of this carriage is that it is fitted with a suspension (like) using a "winding spring" that has finally been developed. Two are used in the center of the axle of the front wheel and six are used in the left and right axles of the rear wheel. However, since the cover is not visible from the outside, the figure cannot be seen unless it is dismantled.

Albert is the only one who knows about this spring and has kept his mouth shut for a while, but he says he can find out if there's any trouble or if he can't keep it a secret. Even if you can imitate the shape by looking at the spring, I don't think it's that easy to use just for the carriage, so it shouldn't be used strangely. Incidentally, when building a new carriage for Albert and Eliza, I also experimented with winding springs on my carriage, so there are only two carriages with winding springs.

"So, Eliza, the suspicion that me and Tenma are having a bad smell has cleared up?

As the swallower began to move, Eliza, surprised and solidified, began to look into more detail than Albert, telling Albert where she wanted to put it.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry. If you think about it carefully, Mr Albert, there is no way Mr Tenma can play with women. Personally and Situationally."

Eliza's misunderstanding seems to have been resolved, but I feel like she said something rather rude with her apology. I didn't particularly care about it because it was said in the teasing half from before, but if someone I don't know asks, it may seem like Eliza is selling me a fight. Incidentally, Eliza's "personality" means that I'm the wife in the headline, "situationally" means that I'm engaged to Primera, and if I'm out playing with women, it means that I'm reaching out to Jeanne and Amur before that. With this as a joke, when I was called to a party hosted by Count Sylphide, I was told something… it got into Count Sylphide's ear and after the party Eliza got really angry and both Counts lowered their heads in front of me. Well, Albert came in and explained that it was a joke between his close friends, and Cain and Leon, who were joking with him, finally settled down like a joke. But since then, when Eliza made fun of me in public, she started saying things a little farther away. It's not a compliment... I often tease Albert and the others (especially Leon) by saying three idiots, so I can't make a strong case on this matter.

"So, Mr. Tempura, what's going on with the new discovery dungeon? I know it's an official announcement from the royal family, but there are many things I don't know."

I've heard about the dungeon, as the Duke of Sanga remembered. The counts seem to be interested in the topic and are getting closer than before.

"I'm diving about thirty stories right now... to be clear, I don't have enough flavor to say at the moment. Well, it's an unbroken dungeon, so interesting... it's tough enough to get rid of it."

"You were attacking with Merlin and the Sword of Dawn, weren't you? Thirty stories that the member has attacked in three months seem slow to me."

As the Duke of Sanga said, even though my grandfather and I (+ Golem to the Surrines), who are familiar with the dungeons and have experience attacking multiple dungeons, are having a party, it is inevitable that they are still wandering around the thirty levels, even if they say the attack speed is slow.

It was very interesting to attack the unbroken dungeon with the jinn, but I tasted the severity and spiciness of the dungeon strategy as much as or more interesting. And the reason for the slow tactics is their severity and spiciness.

One of the most severe and spicy is a material that can't be harvested at all. In the dungeon where Hydra was the boss, we have been able to obtain any materials (metal, herbal, monster materials, etc.) on any level, but we have not found anything in the newly discovered dungeon. So far, the only material removed is the skeleton bone.

And the second is that one hierarchy is as big as an idiot. There were hierarchies that I had to walk about a week from Seigen to find out using Explore because I was walking around too much. Besides, only those hierarchies take time, because they are almost the same way. If there is a salvation, is there a warp zone just like the dungeon above?

And the third. It's 'smell'. The cause will be the smell of rotten golems. Even though it stinks, it's everywhere because it's in a dungeon-like enclosed space. It is everyone's common opinion that this smell is the most painful so far. Among them, Garrat, a beast with excellent smell, seems to be twice as painful to people, and he is stupid with his nose pinched with tears.

"I don't feel like I'm resting during the break because of the smell, I feel like I'm going to spit out whatever I eat, and I have a lot of trouble leaving the dungeon because the smell sticks to my body and clothes."

The most effective way to attack a new dungeon so far is to find a warp zone and leave the dungeon. In other words, the reason why it takes so long to tackle a dungeon is because it doesn't dive into the dungeon for very long.

That's what I said. Orion (just me and Grandpa) and Sword of Dawn, which were originally planned to attack separately, are jointly attacking the dungeon.

"If you get good and unusual materials, no matter how bad they smell, I feel like trying a little harder... only rotten meat and bones can be found, so the tension won't rise."

Even my grandfather can't remember such a terrible experience, so it's definitely an adventure close to the worst in my "Previous and Future Adventurer Life". Hopefully, it won't get any worse, and I don't want to have a worse experience than this in the future.

"Well, even if the tension doesn't rise, I'm going to advance the strategy of the dungeon... so don't expect souvenirs. If you're going to bring it home for now, I can only think of dungeon stones, dirt, rotten meat, bones... and then I can only think of the smell of my nose bending and of my stupidity."

"I'm sorry, right? Besides, it's good to have souvenirs, so take care of yourself."

The Dukes of Sanga were slightly distanced from me while showing a sympathetic atmosphere to my atrocities.

"So, Tenma... when are we going to Seigen next?

Albert called out because he couldn't stand the subtle air. Well, I didn't shrink a little further.

"We'll leave tomorrow. I'm sorry it's too late because the jinn are waiting for you in Seigen."

Because it's about the gins, they're probably mining near the hierarchy where Hydra was without diving into the new dungeon, so they're going to tell me to come slower. My rendezvous means I have to lurk in the stinking dungeon that day or the next.

"Okay, good luck. And I don't want any souvenirs either."

Albert told me the same thing about the Duke, and I went back to the Mansion in the subtle air. Primera says she's working for the liaison team from tomorrow, so she won't come to see me off. I felt sort of kicked out.

"What happened in King's Landing?

A few days later, when I joined the jinn in Seigen, I was focused on the dungeon strategy. I was worried about what happened to the jinn because I was too diligent (it seemed), but when I said I wanted to get away from this dungeon quickly, Menus and Lena started to smell first, and then Grandpa started to smell the same. Perhaps you think the wedding between Albert and Eliza had an impact, but you just want to kick the skeletons out of the way and get it over with really quickly. However, since we don't know when this dungeon was created, it is possible that it is as old as the dungeon above, so it may be close to a hundred floors. At that time, you will give up on the way, but if only weak monsters like Skeletons show up like this, it may not take years to attack.

As it goes on like that,

"Wait a minute! There's a wind coming from this way!

Galat stopped them all. Because it is in the dungeon, the sound of the wind means that something (...) or (...) that generates the wind is present, and the atmospheric pressure has changed to such a terrain, but the sound of the monster moving cannot be heard, and its presence is not hooked to my "exploration". Instead of monsters...

(Hole...)

It was a big hole. It seems to go down quite a bit, but it seems to go as far up as that. It is silly to say that I have used "Exploration" several times before, but perhaps the upper part was completely sealed or the hole was small.

In the meantime, there's no sound of monsters moving, so why don't you go and see?

Everyone nodded at my suggestion. If you can't go, you can turn around, and I can't guarantee you'll come back to this hierarchy, so I'll have to check it out if I care. The result may be futile, but you may be able to get some useful information just as likely.

"It's bigger than I thought. Ten meters is better than Yu, right? The depth... is dark and I don't know, but if it falls, I'm pretty sure I'll die."

Jin said that as he peeked into the hole, but Galat and I managed to sneak behind Jin without listening to the words. And then...

"Tenma, Garrat, don't make it so stylish."

My grandfather stopped me when I reached for Jin's back. Jin looked back and grasped the situation in response to Grandpa's voice, but at that time he was surprised and looked behind him for a moment, almost falling into a hole.

"No kidding! Absolutely!"

"No, we were just trying to grab my clothes so that Jin wouldn't hurt me. Hey, Tempura?

"Oh, that was an act of total goodwill."

There was an exchange, but opinions were divided on what to do afterwards, so I decided to take a break in front of this hole for now. Luckily, there is no rotten golem ahead of this hole, or the wind that flows is not rotten smell, but because clean air (by this dungeon criterion) is brought in, so it is likely that we will have a decent break for the first time in this dungeon strategy.

"It's the first time I've ever felt like I was good at eating in this dungeon...."

We nodded quietly as we murmured. It's not completely odorless, but the odor is so thin that it doesn't get in the way of the meal as compared to anywhere else.

"So, what do we do now? There are three options that come to mind. The first is to ignore this hole and proceed. The second is to try to get down this hole. The third is to use this place as a campsite, and I'm off today...."

Jin made three choices, but there will be no third. Even if you decided to camp here, I think it would be better to try to go down the hole and come back and camp if it was a dead end.

When I suggested it, Grandpa and Garrat said the same thing, and Jin said, "That's better." However, Menas chose to go further and said that because Lena didn't know where to rest further, she thought it would be okay to camp today. For this reason,

"Well then, by a majority vote, 'I'm going down the hole. If it's the end of the line, I'll come back here and camp." Tenma, Merlin, I need your help getting off. "

Normally, when you go down these holes, you need expert knowledge for specialized tools, but if there is one person who can use magic to travel in the air like me or grandpa, you don't need tools or knowledge, and you can get down safer and faster easily.

"I don't mind, but it's a hassle to carry each and every one of them, so the gins will be in their dimension bags."

"I don't care... or thank you for making it easier for me."

I don't have the dimension bag that contains the usual slurry (Siroumar and Solomon don't like the smell and leave a message in King's Landing. Regarding the slurry, the smell is ok, but I am not in charge because I am worried that it is just the thrillers), but there is something for Lyden to enter or for temporarily putting in and dismantling the materials, so I will have them enter one of them.

"Incidentally, you can lie back and relax because the things for the riden are spacious, but if you disrupt the mood of the riden, you can be mercilessly attacked. I can't lie down because there are various luggage for the material, but I can sit down. It's just a little cold and it might smell alive."

When I told him that, he had chosen a bag for the material. I ventilate and clean regularly, but even though I can't get rid of the smell completely, it seems to be because it is odorless compared to this dungeon.

Well then, let's go first.

It is a fairly wide hole, but it is dangerous for both of us to go down at the same time. Above all, it is not necessarily this wide to the bottom, so I first started, and Grandpa came down after I gave the signal.

Grandpa thought it would be good to wait in the bag with the jinn, but Grandpa said that there is a possibility that monsters will come down from above, and above all, if something happens while I'm down, grandpa in the bag may get involved and be completely destroyed, so it would be better if two people could follow it for one of them if something happens.

It was pretty dark in the hole, and I couldn't see 10 meters from the top just by peeking normally, but using magic that emitted light like the one that Serna used at her wedding was fine. But...

"Looks like this hole is more than 100 meters deep."

"I don't know what that means... it's troublesome."

The hole was deeper than I thought. I said a hundred meters, but it seems to be more than twice as deep in Exploration. To be more precise, it seems to have a hole lasting about a hundred meters and a curved hole from the far end.

(Perhaps it's time to go to Grandpa about "exploration" and "appraisal". It is also troublesome to use while deceiving)

Both are magic that could be used for crime, and if you know they can be used, some people may see it with unpleasant eyes, but you might want to tell Grandpa. Well, maybe you've already noticed....

"There's plenty of places to rest along the way, so I'll get off with a sign."

Mark it, but leave the shortened candle behind. Even a short candle that can only be melted and solidified will be burning enough if it is not exposed to the wind.

"Be careful."

Mindful of the surroundings, I first went down to the nearest sharp spot. It is only large enough for one person to stand alone, but it is a valuable scaffold in the vertical hole, so it should be securely secured.

Afterwards, I repeat, when I found the scaffold, I left the candle, and Grandpa told me to distance myself from the scaffold and proceed to the scaffold. Incidentally, I use the "light" of light magic when searching for scaffolding or getting off, but since this magic is a magic that illuminates all directions like a bare light bulb, if I keep using it, even the person who is using the magic may have blindness, so I am a little ingenious this time. Well, it wasn't such a big deal, but I used a semi-circular bowl for cooking and made it feel like a flashlight. With this, my eyes are not exposed to light, and there is directivity to light, so I can now shine light on the part I want to illuminate.

"Now I wonder if we could make a metal tube like a flashlight? It seems like it can be used a lot."

Having directivity with enhanced light would make it work like a laser pointer, or it could be used as a non-lethal weapon.

With that in mind, I put candles in as many places as possible.

"The next scaffold is around the diagonal entrance... where I'll meet Grandpa once."

Even though it is diagonal, it is not a smooth hole like a slide, but it is as thick as a cave, so there are more scaffolding parts than before. Because of that, two people in one place can't, but there's another scaffold right next to it. However, because stones falling from above are knocked down or rolled, there are sharp points and stones like arrows, so if you don't be careful, there may be holes in your feet.

"What's the matter, Tempura?

When I secured the scaffolding and called my grandfather, he came down close to me, alerting the surroundings to what had happened.

"No, the hole is diagonal from here, so I think we should meet Grandpa once."

Pointing to the tip of the hole, Grandpa noticed the sharp rock and the stone that looked like an arrow, and he murmured, "It's getting more and more troublesome..."

If this is the same pit as before, it would have basically been better to avoid the rocks that have come out, but we also have to be careful of the pointed rocks and the ceiling at our feet from here. I felt it was difficult for me to go straight down just because it was diagonal.

"Well, you can still handle it. Can I leave the lead to Tenma from here on out?

I don't mind.

"Then be more careful of the ceiling than your feet. I'm more afraid of hitting my head on a rock than hurting my leg."

It can be healed with magic or medicine if there is a hole in the foot, but it can be the worst instant death if it hits the head. With Grandpa's advice in mind, I began to descend the diagonal hole.

"Unlike a hole, it took more than twice as long just to be diagonal."

It took about 30 minutes to move from the vertical hole to the diagonal hole, whereas the diagonal hole took a little over an hour. Not only because he was watching the ceiling and his feet, but also because there were troublesome enemies who would get in the way while he was coming down. It's a

"Tenma! At the end of the day, there was a bug in my back! Take it!

It was the presence of small insects. There were no poisonous insects in the glance, but there were cockroaches, geese, squid and caterpillars that came down from above. When the cockroach came down from above, I accidentally avoided exaggerating, and I hurried closer to wondering what happened to Grandpa... because the cockroach came down in front of such a grandpa, so he avoided exaggerating just like me.

For that reason, I hesitated to take the insect from my grandfather's back, but I immediately thought I should take off my clothes and turned my grandfather's clothes forcefully. The bug that came out of Grandpa's clothes,

"Grandpa... it was Yasude!

Those who are not good at Yasude may not like cockroaches, but there is a difference between heaven and earth from me. It seemed that Grandpa was the same, and he had a nice expression in a half-naked state.

"Hoo-hoo... I wish you could at least be a squid... if you were a yasude, you'd be a big winner."

I don't know if I can describe it as a big win, but it's a pretty good bug compared to cockroaches and squid. Well, if you take a closer look, it may be disgusting, but if you get used to it, it may get creepy and cute.

"More than that, Grandpa, there are insects around here, but they don't smell."

I see. Maybe it'll be another dungeon... for now, let's get the gins out. "

From here, the gingers will be fine, so I called the gingers who are taking a break in the dimension bag. And Jin, who came out and looked around, said the first thing,

"Why are you half naked?

It was.

My grandfather and I forgot that Grandpa was half-naked because of the surroundings and the comfort that the insects in the clothes were yasude.
