CH 107
“To the impure, may your soul rest in peace, [Purification].”
“Aaahh…” (Ghost)
At the same time as the ghost disappeared, a white magic stone—a Light Magic Crystal rolled on the ground.
“…”
I approach it, pick it up from the ground, and check it properly under the light of [Light Source].
The color is white, the shape is oval, and the longer diameter is about 3 cm… It is the same Light Magic Crystal as before.
I was continuing the verification task while checking if there was any difference between the surrounding terrain and the map as I am using [Magi Location] on the 19th floor. As a result of defeating ghosts and skeletons at a faster pace than usual with [Purification]. A Light Magic Crystal came out from the current ghost.
“No… I should say that it has finally appeared.”
The Light Magic Crystal was sold for 30 gold coins. I should be happy about this. This time, however, the result I had been aiming for, is the appearance of the Darkness Magic Crystal.
“I guess it can’t be helped that it came out…”
From here, I should change the verification method.
Then I searched the 19th floor at every corner. But I couldn’t find any hidden rooms.
It’s a shame, but no matter how good my luck is, it doesn’t work out that way. Besides, I’ve already won a Light Magic Crystal.
After obtaining the Light Magic Crystal, I changed my strategy to defeating ghosts with [Light Ball] and skeletons by hitting them with my staff. This is also part of the verification process… but nothing in particular changed, so I decided to end my search and leave the dungeon.
It looks like the verification work will continue.
I walked up the stairs to the first floor, briefly greeted the middle-aged soldier I often see when I’m leaving, and walked out of the building. The sun was already setting, and the whole area was dyed a deep orange. In another half an hour, this orange would be swallowed up by the darkness.
“Ah, I must have gotten carried away with the verification.”
I usually go home earlier than that, but today I was so absorbed that I lost track of time.
According to the information in the archives, the dungeon of Elem seems to be open 24 hours a day, I can go in and out at any time, so it doesn’t matter if it’s at night. However, I’m sure there are only a limited number of innkeepers who can accommodate me. Moreover, I’ve been trying to get out of the dungeon early because it seems like a lot of trouble, but today, I had no choice.
I passed through the multiple walls and gates and came to the main street.
Half of the stalls and food stalls that were usually loudly touting their wares were already packed up, and many of the remaining stalls were in the process of being cleared. Some of the stalls were open 24 hours a day, or they were working on sorting out their light sources with magic and lanterns.
Well, since I started using the nineteenth underground floor as my main battlefield, I no longer had any items to sell to them, so it didn’t matter anymore.
I continued through the stalls and headed for the Adventurer’s Guild.
As I entered the guild, I could see many adventurers drinking in the tavern space on the far right of the entrance. On the contrary, I could only see a few adventurers at the reception counter. It seemed that the peak time for adventurers to return had passed.
It was lucky that I didn’t have to wait in line, I thought as I made my way to the empty reception desk and took out a bag of magic stones from my backpack and placed it on the counter table along with my guild card.
By the way, I didn’t put in the Light Magic Crystal this time.
“Please take this.”
“Got it, so you’re exchanging your magic stones.” (Receptionist)
As the receptionist said this, she opened the bag and took out the magic stones, checking them one by one for size and scratches as usual. After checking the stones, she picked up my guild card and was about to write something on the woodblock in her hand when her hand suddenly stopped.
“…?”
“What is it?” I pondered, then she resumed writing something on the woodblock, then looked me in the eye and said,
“Rook-san, may I have some of your time after this?” (Receptionist)
“Aaahh…” (Ghost)
