Chapter 093: Herbalist Guild guildmaster

Translator: Tseirp

When we returned to the Healer’s Guild after the monthly meeting, there was a message from the Adventurer’s Guild’s Jasuan-dono.

“I’m sorry but I would have to trouble you to visit the Herbalist Guild tomorrow at noon. That was the message he conveyed.”

I heard the report from a female slave.

Perhaps it was due to Naria’s teaching or due to her original education, I felt that I could give the female slave full pa.s.sing marks as a receptionist.

“I see. Please continue to work hard under Naria.”

She happily bowed after I said that.

My heart softened a little looking at that and I headed down to the underground.

“Is the underground 3rd floor completed already?”

“Not yet.”

Dolan appeared when I muttered that as I saw the large and wide s.p.a.ce.

“You’ve been seriously working very well lately.”

I conveyed words of appreciation to Dolan.

He really accomplished such a major undertaking with just Paula, I can seriously bow down to him.

“What are you saying, it’s giving me goose b.u.mps. Luciel-sama was the one who came up with such grand ideas, I merely possess the strength to realise it. That’s all there is to it.”

Dolan also doesn’t waver huh … I thought as I checked on the progress.

” … I see. Then what about the school and the houses for the adventurers?”

“Since they would all be the same, once we complete one house, all the other houses could be constructed based on it so it would be done quickly. However, magic stones and wood are insufficient, as stated in the report.”

“Development of that is postponed for the time being.”

” … That’s regrettable. That made my spirit boil the most.”

Dolan sighed as he shook his head.

“Luciel … sama. The a.n.a.lysis has been completed.” Paula called out.

“Don’t say it like you a.n.a.lysed it all by yourself. Luciel-sama, I led and completed the a.n.a.lysis of the items you acquired in the labyrinth.” Rician interrupted our conversation.

” … Firstly, the bracelet.” Paula ignored Rician and pa.s.sed to me the bracelet I acquired from a treasure box in the 47th floor of the labyrinth.

“It is an item that would be activated when the user channels magical power into it and says the magic word. A wind barrier would form with the weaver in the center and it can guard against fire and ice magic as well as breath attacks.”

…… Barrier?

” …Perhaps, if that is activated, even the Red Dragon’s breath would be?”

” … The barrier might break for all we know.”

Paula said while diverting her eyes.

“Luciel-sama, what is this Red Dragon you speak of?”

“The item inside the 50th floor treasure chest is the Key of the Hermit.”

Paula ignored Rician and handed me the key I acquired in the 50th floor.

“How is this used and what effects does it have?”

“If you channel magical power into the key and imagine an invisible door as you turn the key, you would be able to create a building within the s.p.a.ce.”

…… It’s a cheat item different from what I had thought.

I thought that it was a key that could open anything but it’s a cheat item in a different sense.

“Does it mean that even if I set off on a journey I would be safe with this key?”

” …… ”

Paula hesitated.

“That key is from a low rank lesser magic series of the Key of the Hermit series so people cannot enter the s.p.a.ce.”

Rician described on behalf of Paula.

While thinking that those 2 were a surprisingly good combination, I was momentarily disappointed at the fact that people could not enter but doesn’t it mean that I could journey without exposing Fornoir and the horses to danger?

“Would Fornoir and the horses be alright?”

” … Yeah. However, it is still a lesser magic key so it’s more logical to sell it for a high price? You can sell it for a high price even in auctions.”

Rician emphasized her point but she is most likely hoping for funding or magic stones for development after all.

I’ve heard that that was the cause as to why she became a slave.

“I feel that I have a need for it so I don’t have any intention of selling it.”

Rician kept quiet after I explicitly told her my intention.

“Regarding this book you entrusted to me, I could not decipher it.”

Evidently, I would need to consign it to an inst.i.tution that deciphers words and ancient characters but as long as I have no idea what is written in it, it would remain within my magic bag.

After that, after spending time to talk about magic tools that would supply the fields with water and other magic tools that would make work more convenient, I explained to them that we would be heading to the forest in the morning the day after tomorrow.

“That’s why, do not do things like pulling an all-nighter tomorrow night.”

After telling them that, I conveyed the same contents to Haniru of the Hacchi tribe and subsequently went for training.

The next day, me, Lionel and Cathy together with Jasuan-dono, the 4 of us came to the Herbalist Guild.

“I have not heard about the fine details yet but how did the other party react?”

“He immediately consented the moment I took out Luciel-sama’s name. I was wary due to the Gurohara incident but apparently he have been wanting to meet Luciel-sama.”

“Is that so … and until when would Jasuan-dono continue adding -sama to my name? I won’t force you to drink Object X without any reason alright.”

“No, Luciel-sama’s force can only be referred to as such. If possible please allow me to continue doing so.”

” … Please don’t do so as much as possible. And definitely do not do it in public.”

“I will be careful.”

After entering the Herbalist Guild, instead of heading straight to the guildmaster’s room, we were brought to the underground workshop.

Because of the smell that stung our noses, I pa.s.sed nose plugs to Lionel and Cathy before entering the workshop.

Jasuan-dono was affected by the smell but he laughed that the pungent odour was weaker than Object X so he had no problem.

“Thank you for coming.”

The person inside the workshop noticed us and the rac.o.o.n beastman greeted us with a grin.

“Smic-dono, can’t you do something about this smell?”

“It’s because I’m in the middle of compounding. Sorry.”

“As I informed you previously … Luciel-sa,-dono, this is the Herbalist Guild’s guildmaster Smic-dono. Smic-dono, this is Luciel-dono.”

… Why did he correct and repeat himself? Oh well it doesn’t matter. Jais-dono had been mediating for us until now so I’ll start by introduce myself.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Luciel, an S-rank healer. Thank you for making time for us today.”

“I’ve heard about Luciel-sama often. I’m Smic, the head of the Herbalist Guild.”
