Chapter 179 (2/2)

Hed to notice the oddness in the rasp the mechanism behind it yet

Well, just the fact that she could see through this caot quite the talent in mana detection

It took the past me around 30 years to even notice it after all

"Close but no cigarThe correct answer is over there"

I pointed left

The exact opposite of Ruli's guess

"It's not close at all! It's totally the opposite direction!"

"Nah, don't sell yourself shortHow does the mana reaction over there feel to you?"

I pointed at the direction Ruli pointed at first

"Unn, I don't see mana reaction that feels like of monstersThere's soh, but I think that's just bugs or so like that"

"Then how about over there?"

I pointed at the place where the boss is

Ruli looked over thereand seee

"Ah, there's a place without a single reaction, not even fro!"

"That's the area where the boss monster lurksIt has set up a kind of barrier to stop its s"

Some parasite type monsters remake the environment around thee that preventsis a part of that

For those monsters, the reason is probably not to prevent their , but simply because a place with dense mana is more co barrier"

"Their barrier differs froh"

We're heading to the barrier the monster put up

Suddenly souys have already passed the testThere's no need for you to defeat that thing"

The examiner stopped us

Looks like we've passed the Rank B Qualification Test

It's nice that ere able to pass it easily, but

"Didn't the quest I took ask for Testra Prairie Subjugation? It won't count as one if we don't defeat that"

I point at the barrier

The barrier seerass and soil, it only looks like afrom the mana reaction, it's apparently a do themselves inside the barrier are harround where the barrier didn't reach and went outside the prairie

"You're right, the quest is about Testra Prairie Subjugationbut the content was [Subjugating monsters, especially those that could become a threat, in the outbreak at Testra Prairie]The quest should be considered as co monsters that shut themselves inside a barrier"

I see

At the tiht

Not like theto come out anytime soon after all

Personally, I'd like to raise our rank as fast as possible, so it's easier if we don't have to beat that

Ordinarily I would have gone to beat thetime to recover my mana then

However, since we've taken up on this quest, I can't exactly do that

"If we leave that alone, that thing would break out of the barrier and attack townsTime left until that happensabout teeks I reckon"

Hearing that, the face of the exa back turned serious

To the point that I doubted he was the sa the truth?"

"Yeah"

"Is Frejia included in those towns?"

"It's really hard to believeBut if Mathias says so, it's practically guaranteed"

Saying that, the examiner ponders

Afterward, he bowed deeply toward me

"I ask youCould you please defeat that erOf course, I'ht too"

I see

He'd like to avoid endangering hier huh

Looks like this exauess an adventurer that would run away at the prospect of going to a dangerous location wouldn't be entrusted to be a rank up test examiner

"Got itAre you fine with that, you three?"

That's always been my intention since we took this quest

And I couldn't possibly forsake a territory friendly to Eis Kingdom

It was one of the reasons we could took this quest so quickly after all

It h

"Of course! That's e come here for!"

"Yes!I'm a bit curious about that monster-made barrier too!"

"I'ht?"

Looks like the three are in agreeet on to the killis what I'd like to say, but I have sohtly change depending on the answers
