And, the responsible for said incident, at that ti while sarette…
Incidentally, it will take soe to be officially recognized as a dungeon An investigation team composed of skilled mercenaries was sent to ascertain the veracity of the information, so after some procedures and foreon to be officially acknowledged
Taking full advantage of that opportunity, it took several years for Ahhan village to become revitalized
Around that time, the interior of the abandoned mine expanded even more and the number of monsters increased Naturally, they didn't know that the cause of that was a certain uncle ic
The victims that were instantly turned into ashes were efficiently absorbed by the dungeon and beca it with a new source of power
This dungeon will continue to expand and become an indispensable place for the people that bet their lives fighting eon core is finally destroyed
Later on, that dungeon will end up being known as 'Ahhan Great Labyrinth'
Tioes back a little, and the place moves to a tavern in the city of Santhor, wherealcohol as they please, hts
In this tavern, where the guards are frequently called to stop said brawls, a group of 's disgrace They are the ht with Christine
After being threatened by Zeros, they fled and cah, only one of the in his heart, drowning his troubles in alcohol
”fuck! That ry every time I reh? Just give up…”
”Wasn't that mithril sword all fucked up too? Even if you had snatched it away, it was useless anyway, you dumbass hahaha!”
”The fuck you know Maybe it was that son of a bitch pulling a snow job on ht Zeros was lying to him First, it was impossible to prove that he actually had the appraisal skill Second, when he unsheathed his sword and thrust it before his neck, he said:— 'leave the sword and disappear'
Even if someone were to claim that they have the appraisal skill, there wouldn't any way to verify it unless there was another person with said ability
In addition, there's the possibility that Zeros pulling out his sword to intimidate the the appraisal skill is likely to be a lie But,else, it was his shady appearance that ht, let's say you're right You have any confidence in your skills? Dude didn't seeician, y'know?”
”Ahh… I hated that he pulled out his sword before I knew it”
”That's the kinda ht with… if you value your life”
”fuck! I know that!!”
All thetheir levels, they've coe of other people's hard work
They would secretly follow the mercenary escorts of h to reliably protect them, and whenever the escorts had to defeat monsters that appeared on the way, they wouldwhen the monsters were already weakened, the so-called 'parasiticreally clever, but such a thingunable to advance their ranks
But even then, they resented the Guild and continued to act in such a hile trying to hide it from them These kinds of people were everywhere
Aat the counter approaches theician
”What a funny story, did you really think you would get stronger if you had a powerful weapon? It really h”
”The fuck you say!? You bastard, are you picking a fight with us!?”

”Haa? You're a htstory, ah?”
”Before that, you want to get stronger than you are now, right? I'll tell you how if you answer er than others?”
The ician they encountered this , but this one looked evena hooded robe despite being indoors They also doubted he would siive them that kind of information just because he listened to their story
”Ah! You just have to talk You don't seeold to say you'll pay for it, after all Let's have a drink Including that entertaining story froht?”
”bastard, you're just trynaI don't need anyht find it useful You can also just give it to soh price”
The ician in front of the he didn't need, but they have no clue what the object in question was
But getting stronger will obviously lead to having the possibility ofh they were unscrupulous, they were also wary of thethe aforementioned underhanded method in the future as it was the safer option… or that's what they should have thought, however, they were too drunk and didn't think deeply about the ician's story
”Then, first shohat you wanna give us, we ain't got no clue, y'know?”
”Ah, that's right Here it is”
The ician who suddenly produced so them, what he puts on the table is some sort of amulet with countless black stones inlaid onto it

”W-Well, do what you want, I don't care So? How do I use this thing?”
”Iyaa～, this is quite delicious, isn't it? Ah, how to use this? You just have to wear it and pour mana into it and it will bestow you with power”
”It's okay if I try it, right?”
”Go ahead, I don't need it anymore”
The man squeezes the amulet in his hand and pours mana
――Dokun!
Thereupon, he was completely filled with a sense of euphoria, and at the same time, a violent torrent of power suddenly welled up inside his body and appeared to start becoan to overfloithin hi, I feel filled with power!”
”Seriously? …I want it too”
”Is that so? I have three more, but…”
