"... earth dragon (earth dragon)? You're running into something awful again, you. Definitely must be obsessed with something..."

It was Lorraine, the lord of the house, who said that to me with a frightened face.

After returning to the Labyrinth of the Crescent Moon and gathering all the materials that were likely to rot in the Adventurers' Union (Guild), he returned.

Demon Stone et al., I bring some material that will definitely not rot for a while because it will be needed for the manufacture of armaments for Alize.

There is no way I can use Magic Iron to blacksmith... so I plan to take it to Crope and order it.

You'll be going with Alize then.

That old man has a strong focus.

I can't believe I don't have the person to use it.

"Even I think so from the bottom of my heart... why did you come to Earth Dragon in the first place? Not a single piece of that information has come up. Mostly over there is the fourth tier, albeit the labyrinth. I know it sounds crazy."

I just complain that I'm feeling a little drunk because I stirred up so many cups of hot wine that Lorraine made for me.

It's not that Lorraine is any bad, and I'm not hitting her eight times, but for now, I felt like I couldn't do it without being outraged and complaining.

You should think about it.

That situation is unreasonable on that level, for example, when you suddenly run into the ghost Orga on the first tier of The Labyrinth of the Water Moon, or when a large group of goblins came under attack if you were walking down a safe street.

I can't avoid that stuff, how cautious I am.

Even if you want to escape, you need at least the isolated strength of a platinum platinum "platinum" class to do so, obviously, but that can't be what I have with me right now.

It is impossible to decide.

Lorraine smiles as she understands my feelings like that, or is she going to moderately flush drunken bullshit?

"Well... not that there will ever be powerful demons in the lower tier... but it would be unreasonable far beyond bad luck or anything like that for a Land Dragon (Earth Dragon) to appear in the fourth tier on a boulder. It's just that you came back alive. Let's be happy with that for now. I made a lot of things. What do you say, delicious?

She's right, the table is lined with more sumptuous meals than usual.

They are all made by her hand, and they are bloody so that I can taste them.

Pretty tasty indeed.

So is wine.

Munchkin very much...... no.

"It's good, but you're not..."

I'm about to be deluded and I look up and see Lorraine.

Then Lorraine nodded,

"Well, it's still something you care about. According to your story, the earth dragon (Earth Dragon) dived to the ground and disappeared..."

"Oh. You're just like a mining ground."

"Over there..."

Lorraine seems to know if she's been there or not.

"You know... I was wondering, is that the space that the labyrinth created that way?

"No, you don't. The facility over there is artificial. It just seems a long time ago. Just like you've been collecting, that's where the demon iron will be picked, right? In my opinion it was a mining ground for that. Hundreds, thousands of years ago."

It is also a great story of scale.

Not so long ago, when there wasn't a malt here yet, was there?

Was there that labyrinth from then on?

I was going to do quite a bit of research on the structure of the labyrinth, the demons that emerge, and how to attack them, but up to the boulder it's subtle to history.

I hold back the Yarlan kingdom and the basic history that surrounds the city malt, but when it comes to ancient history before they were established… it would already be entirely the domain of scholars.

Lorraine continues.

"Now when it comes to magic iron, the Dwarves have better mining skills. If you're going to secure them in bulk, they're letting them circulate. It's fast and cheap to buy it. But I guess that wasn't the case where that mining site was operating. Maybe, at the time, the Magic Iron was precious and difficult to secure. Well, it's still valuable, but it won't compare to today, when there are several mines that can be mined efficiently. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to build a mining site or anything like that in the fourth tier."

Well, you sure will.

But if that's the case......

"Why is the magic prop over there intact? What?

"Is that why you keep it that way? Or how is it running when it's such an old product?

"Both of them."

As for the former, it is a question because once an adventurer finds a precious magic item, he cannot take it, and the latter because there should be no one to instill magic, but it is still strange to move normally.

Because no matter how high performance magic props, it should have to be a special case to keep moving forever.

Lorraine nods at this and gives me an answer.

"Truth is, both answers are the same about that. The magic artifact over there was captured in the labyrinth. Therefore, you can't take it home even if you try to take it, and you keep moving without pouring magic into it. It's a completely unexplained system... but that's what it is. I don't have a choice."

Into the labyrinth.

It refers to that phenomenon where dead adventurers and demons disappear from the labyrinth when left alone.

But does that apply to demonic props......

No, isn't it strange, considering that sometimes a dead adventurer's arsenal is taken in and put in some crate?

It's just...

"It's taken in in the way it is, what is it?

It was a question because it was something I hadn't heard much about.

Lorraine is

"There are other things. However, there are other examples. You know about Felt, the Good King, who tried to build a city in the labyrinth, right?

It is about a legendary figure who tried to take a persecuted nation out of the country once, find a giant labyrinth at the end of a wandering, and use that one floor as a city.

Of course, I knew, so I say.

"Ah. That's it, what's up?

"That's a fact. I know the labyrinth where he says he made the city. And there, the city stayed."

"Nha...!

I've never heard of such a story.

Lorraine seems to know that, too.

"Ma, I know how you feel. Or because this is actually a story of secrecy. It was also treated as confidential in my hometown. If you spare your life, keep your mouth shut, okay?

"... hey"

Suddenly I was taught a horrible secret.

Lorraine ignores my scratches like that and keeps talking.

"Well, that's why it's nothing strange about mining sites. I'm the only one in this country who talks like that."

"What is that...?

"The people of this country, as well as the Adventurers' Union (Guild) and the Maltese, believe that that mining site was created by the Labyrinth. Well, naturally. The magic props installed by people keep being taken in and running, because what theory is not mainstream. Do you believe that?
