The Dead Leave a Ring

The situation in Alman Forest is over.

Both the coachmen and the adventurers who had passed out were able to wake up and reach the destination safely.

Although the awakenings have questioned the whereabouts of the monster they attacked, Loen only explained that he was lucky enough to escape from the forest.

This line was the most appropriate because I wouldn't believe it if I had it down anyway.

In fact, there were even those who doubted the authenticity.

But the last unconscious adventurer said he saw that they were the only ones left, so he couldn't puke anymore.

Anyway, the mission ended successfully.

* * *

"where… Is it roughly organized?”

Loen, standing on the streets of the capital, muttered, counting her fingers.

The remuneration was very high thanks to the large-scale top request and the completion of additional quests.

After Loen began his adventure, it was the largest amount he had ever received.

Thanks to that, I paid all of the rent that was pushed without leaving a penny, and for the time being, I would not have to worry about living expenses.

With this quest, I was relieved of worrying about money.

In addition, the C-rank request record remained in the modest commissioning career.

[S-0 times, A-0 times, B-0 times, C-1 times, D-2 times, E-89 times]

Loen stared blankly at the updated record sheet she took out of her arms.

During his adventures, he ran for the past few years, accepting only low-level quests.

It was Loen, who has been willing to take on chores that are not even recorded at all.

However, after signing a contract with the spirit, he succeeded in adding C rank and D rank careers in just a few days.

I felt new.

'If I hadn't been a spirit, I wouldn't have dreamed... … . Of course, this alone doesn't really change something.'

It was unknown whether the client or examiner would properly believe in this C-rank request record that suddenly appeared in the eyes of the examiner.

Since there were many cases of imaginary numbers, they were not accepted as absolute indicators unless they were accumulated more than a certain number of times.

In fact, rather than defeating Lugar directly, it was not unfairly unfair as it was a reasonable way to solve the problem of dying.

Of course, if you want to subdue intermediate spirits that were in the realm in the first place, you will have to increase your mission level to at least A rank quest.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

"Well… … .”

When asked by Feria, who stood next to him, Loen stretched his words.

Before entrusting this mission, the concerns that I had at the central quest office were still valid.

Loen was still a holder of the yellow plaque.

Although the C rank quest was resolved once, the accumulated standard score was not enough, so it was impossible to even apply for an upgrade.

“I have debts left, but thanks to this number, it is not enough to be chased by money and duties for the time being. The most urgent thing is... I need to increase the amount of mana a little.”

Although the amount of mana increased considerably with the intake of magical herbs, the fact that he was still suffering did not change.

In addition to the increase in the number of spirits, mana slipped out every time he pulled out more power.

Mana had to increase to keep up with the increase in sensitivity.

'Because if endurance is insufficient, it will end up being nothing.'

Just because he became a contractor for the two intermediate spirits wasn't good enough.

In order to show power, the amount of mana must be supported.

At his mana level, which was overwhelming, he had no chin to summon two spirits at the same time to engage in battle.

If you summoned both at the same time, you would be defeated in no time by running out of mana before the enemy.

'I need a countermeasure.'

Meditation, the most common means, was the basis that should always be done in parallel.

It was too expensive to get the horsepower plant separately, so it was difficult unless you found it yourself.

Selling your own feet and looking for them will also take up time and effort.

In order to secure mana more quickly here, we had to find another way.

“Feria, do you have any ideas?”

"Well, I don't think of anything right now."

“No? There must have been a lot of excellent contractors in the meantime.”

“I don't know anything like a detailed trick. Ha, originally, this was the contractor's own preparation. I don't take care of each one.”

"Ah… okay? It must be a lot of resentment to meet a lacking contractor.”

Loen spoke as if shedding a glance.

Then Peria's complexion turned blue.

“Oh, no. Because the words came out... … . sorry. You know I didn't mean that? Huh?"

A sweat ran out of her forehead.

It was completely frustrating if the contract was terminated because I was disliked by another spirit.

I hated to imagine that I couldn't taste this magic now.

"Hmm… … .”

"Ah! That's right, I remembered it!”

Feria clapped her hands and drew attention.

It was to quickly change the topic, but that didn't mean he said nothing.

“I know an artifact that can increase mana. I remember the location.”

“Artifact… … ?”

One of the adventurers' romances commonly referred to was the existence of artifacts.

Arms containing special powers, heirlooms and ancient relics were all included in this.

It was far from common people as it was only for first-class adventurers or nobles.

But knowing where there are such artifacts.

"Really?"

"then. It was an artifact called the Ring of Circulation, but it was an object you couldn't even dream of at your level. If you find it, you won't be struggling with mana like you do now.”

It wasn't a high-level artifact, but it would have been impossible for an adventurer of that degree to get it.

Loen moved without hesitation.

“Okay, let’s move right away.”

* * *

After leaving the capital, Loen and Feria were walking.

Beast Spirit Lugar was reverse summoned to guard the forest, and he was still walking in the forest of Alman.

According to Feria, no spirits like to be invaded their territory.

That was why Lugar attacked the humans inside.

However, Loen only forced them out in moderation so as not to kill any more humans.

With rumors about a terrible beast, there were no more people trying to enter the forest, so there will be no more problems.

“But how did you know the location of the artifacts?”

Loen asked a question that suddenly came to mind.

Even as a spirit, there was no such thing as the ability to know the location of artifacts.

“It's what the old contractor was looking for. It was an elf in the northern forest. It was probably a few decades ago.”

“Wait, elf... … ?”

“Seeing the reaction, it seems that nothing has changed yet.”

Peria said with a b****y smile.

The friction between the different races in the kingdom was one of the major troubles in the past and now.

Elves, Orcs, Giants, etc.

Unlike monsters, heterogeneous races with intelligence were all driven out by humans after a long war and took over the current territory.

The heterogeneous races, who had their land taken away, of course rebelled, and even at this moment, they were continuing resistance by fighting big or small battles or even terrorist activities against the kingdom forces somewhere.

Of course, as many years have passed since the kingdom was unified, there were many people who coexisted under the kingdom by compromise with reality.

However, among the elves with strong pride, they were only a few.

“It's a nasty problem.”

Loen smiled bitterly.

The revenge and hostility of those who lost their homes did not cease, and the hatred of the human beings who were sacrificed by the revenge was the same.

I wondered if the problem could be solved someday as the problem was constantly repeated.

“If there's nothing wrong with it anyway, he'll still be there.”

"What? It was decades ago. But the old contractor is still there?”

“There is a reason for that.”

Feria replied briefly.

Then Loen began to worry.

The odds of good things happening when elves and humans meet each other were slim.

Rather than getting artifacts, I was fortunate if there weren't any slashes.

"Isn't even meeting you become hostile?"

“No, it will never happen. I don't know if it used to be.”

She shrugged and answered.

'I'm glad then... … .'

I was a little reassured by the pretty firm answer.

Whatever the case, including the current conversation, what I got from Feria was very important information.

Originally, information on artifacts was very sensitive, so many adventurers and treasure hunters gathered.

However, as a result of researching in the capital, no information was known about the'ring of circulation' she referred to.

It wasn't just a magic summon, but a spirit that had accumulated hundreds of years of experience, so it was high-level information.

“Here, I have arrived.”

When they reached their destination, they stopped in front of the entrance.

An abandoned watchtower in a corner.

Left unattended for a very long time, it looked old and dirty.

“… Is there really something in this place?”

"Are you sure. Unless something has happened in decades.”

Feria nodded with a rant.

Then Loen looked around with an ugly expression and stepped inside.

On the left, there was a long staircase down.

When I pushed the stiff door in the middle, and went down to the basement, misty dust blew off.

“Kolok Kolok! Is the basement you were talking about right here?”

“Yes, that’s right. It doesn't seem to have changed.”

Drool!

As Feria reached out her arm, the entrance hidden in the gap of the wall opened.

A long passage in front of them.

Upon entering it, a wide dungeon greeted them.

At a glance, it was a cave-type dungeon of considerable size.

“There must be a dungeon like this in a place like this… … .”

An unexpected place.

It was completely unknown.

“There are artifacts in this, right?”

“Well, to be more precise, it's a corpse.”

"What… … ?”

Loen settled in place for a moment.

But Feria said casually.

“I came to find the body of an old contractor. He died here.”
