Episode 50.13 (2/2)
Nodlein took a document out of a drawer and unfolded it on the table next to Lecan. It's a map.
”Sure is vast.”
”It is vast. <Warp>-ing from the Ground Floor into the dungeon will take you to this Red Sand Dune here. You can <Warp> to the Ground Floor from this area. You can also <Warp> to the Ground Floor from the other Red Sand Dune located deep inside the innermost part of the Temple area. You cannot <Warp> to this innermost Red Sand Dune directly from the Ground Floor. And from the entrance Red Sand Dune to the Temple, even the shortest route should take you one month in walking distance alone.”
”That's if you're walking huh.”
”Of course. The spawned magic beasts are mostly predetermined depending on the areas. This list written on the left enumerates these magic beasts. Keep in mind however, that some of them may sometimes spawn outside their designated areas.”
Desert... Apparitions, Sand Insects, Earth Dragons.
Meadow... Demon Wolves, Sacred Deer, Demon Lions.
Mountain... Demon Boars, Demon Bears, Soaring Dragons.
Rocky Mountain... Blight Bugs, Rock Masses, Flame Dragons.
Valley... Raptors, Sky Fish, Soul Specters.
Forest... Demon Apes, Bizarre Trees, Demon Tigers.
Lake and Marsh... Bewitching Waters, Odd Mud, Water Snakes.
Temple... Giants.

(Hmph.)
(Some unfamiliar names in there.)
”Now then, this is the route Dungeon Knights took this time.”
Nodlein ran his finger through the map.
”But as it has been two months since, they are undoubtedly here now.”
Nodlein's finger stopped at the Meadow Area right before the Temple.
”They won't stop hunting here until they have ten God Cures on hands and then they proceed to the Temple.”
Nodlein moved his finger onto the Temple.
”They will then defeat the Temple's Guardians, the Three Giants, move into the innermost Red Sand Dune and return to the surface from there.”
(Guess that means the magic beasts that drop God Cures are in the Meadow Area.)
”I'm sure Lecan-dono has already noticed it, yes God Cures are dropped by Sacred Deer. Sacred Deer only spawn in the Meadow area located just before Temple. These magic beasts have high treasure chest drop rates, which always contain potions without fail. Blue Deer (Raskar) drop Blue Potions, Red Deer (Urkar) Red Potions, Yellow Deer (Paukar) Yellow Potions, Green Deer (Okar) Green Potions, Magenta Deer (Meakar) Magenta Potions, Gold Deer (Biukar) Gold Potions, Silver Deer (Sarakar) Silver Potions, and lastly White Deer (Surkar) drop God Cures. However, White Deer rarely ever spawn, and Gold Deer are even rarer.”
”I see.”
”I shall lend you this map. Please make sure to return it to me. In the event you deem that unfeasible however, please burn it up.”
”Got it.”
Lecan chatted with Lady Rubianafale while Ashidgrein and Nodlein wrote a letter addressed to the commander of Dungeon Knights, Duo Bahn in another room. He got an idea when he heard about how Marinka shot some extra large <Fire Arrow (Veyart)> during their escape to the Northern Tower. Rubianafale congratulated Lecan for his engagement and asked all kind of things about his fiancees.
After a brief wait, the letter was ready. Lecan asked more things regarding Dungeon Yufu. Nodlein gave him some tips and even provided several Grace Gear.
Afterward, Marinka shot out <Fire Arrows> into the night sky from the veranda of a south-facing room on the fifth floor. An extra large sized one. She shot another one after a moment. She took a Blue Potion and then shot two more.
As the watchmen outside gathered at the southern side to see what was going on, Lecan used <Concealment><Float><Move> to quietly fall out of a window on the northern side, went into the forest and ran on top of the rampart before arriving back at his inn. Yufonia's night on month two was bone-chilling cold.
