Chapter 17: (unedited)
<strong>TL: kamisuzaku</strong>
At the general guild annex, I knew that I got the qualifications for the D rank promotion test, I immediately enter the main building of the general guild and proceed to the adventurer registration reception counter, its there that I was being taken in charge for my adventurer registration, and the elf Milimaria was sitting.
Wee to the general guilds branch of Varga of the Kurt Merga kingdom, oh youre Schwarz san, wasnt it?
Hello, Milimaria san. Saved up guild points increased atst. I request the application for the promotion test.
Finally, how Schwarz san is youre a Manuke isnt it? Finishing saving the guild points without one month passing yet
You know that Im a Manuke right? (TL: not sure about this: )
Milimaria san, thereupon looking slightly embarrassed, when I did the adventurer registration, talked about what the crystal referred in the biometric record.
That crystal, when copying biometrics data into the guild card, first blink white then colored in ordance with the number and attribute of abilities and skills ones hold, I hear that it repeats the blinks. However, when my date were copied it only blinked once with basic data, from that long task Milimaria san understood at once that from my magical power theres no magicing out.
Which reminds me, at that time Ashley san and Milimaria were surprised with something Therefore Ashley san noticed it too.
Its that sort of reason, maa however theres really no problem. Actually its like this because I repeated and increased request achievement.
Such thing right, still Im honestly surprised, the reason being for Schwarz san to have that much of strength. Well then for Im also the staff member responsible of the registration counter, Ill do my best to carry out my duties. However for the promotion test to D rank, the test subject is in the eastern forest of Bargas fortified city, youll go towards the Wolfs Fangbyrinth together with the examiner, and youll have to travel the 1st underground floor and reach the 2nd underground floor.
Eh? Is that it?
Schwartz san, although its thebyrinths first floor, its by no means an easy ce. Besides, this test, rather than a test of aptitude of D rank, while adding a D rank raising of status, it forces the way of a training-like nuance for the sake of the requirements of abyrinth explorer.
I see, I understand now. And what does a typical schedule of the test sound like?
It takes one day for preparations of an examiner, pleasee to the general guild main building the day after tomorrow in the morning. Also, in the level applied for the application test of D rank raising of status, youll be able to browse the materials rted to thebyrinth at the Archives.
Since youll return on the same day of the appointed day, preparations for camping arent needed, test begins after gathering necessary goods and tools for thebyrinth exploration such as food and so forth. Please, check up by yourself what you need.
I understand, the day after tomorrow is it?
Thanking Milimaria san, I left the general guild main building and returned to the White Flower Pavilion of the Labyrinth.
The next day preparing for tomorrows test, I went first to the general guilds grounds at the Archives. These Archives have three floors, theres an uncertain underground floor, and in the primarily floors above ground, various documents and books on nature are ced, in the uncertain underground floor it is said theres rted data on thebyrinth.
Rted data on thebyrinth arent generally opened to the public, easily exploring for being sure ones life isnt hunted in thebyrinth, it seems they limit information. (TL: note sure for this part: )Though the nature of the danger should be well known, still theres many reckless adventurers that are eager for a challenge, a group of low rank made a reckless attempt in the past, it seems it wasnt able to suppress it after being excited by thebyrinth.
Hence, basically they kept away general information concerningbyrinth, and also its said that those who explorebyrinth are told not to make public information of easybyrinth. However, those people are curious beings who want to know about these secrets, conversely the adventurer with interest in concealing arent few either, for this type of fellow that bes D rank there isnt also any restriction, rather say what is less than adventurers who also dont be D rank, turning into such typical position as privilege rank, those less than adventurer aiming at that privilege, for not less than D rank dont look down and keep awareness of the value of that privilege easily. (TL: should get an editor for this part :s)
The authorization for entering the underground floor for the D rank promotion test was left, currently it was the opening of nothing but the space concerning the fundamental knowledge of thebyrinths first floor underground.
It seems other is opened after passing. Several books are brought to the reading space, necessary stuff for exploration, checking fundamental knowledge and so forth.
I use the screen capture function of the head googles, and save with the capture the too many ces I cant memorize. There was also the map of the first floor underground of the Wolfs fangbyrinth bing the future test.
Apart basic knowledge that was known in rtion to thebyrinth, the area of each level changes to the extent of thebyrinths growth, the Labyrinth also exists for hundreds of years without being captured, the bottomyers deep limits are not known, however it is said theres only 10yers in newbornbyrinths.
Passage width ofbyrinths inside is 8 ~ 10m, with a small room in the way theres also a wide room exceeding 20m. Because theres basically no light in the passage, explorers always bring a kind of white light grass at the time of abyrinth exploration, go and treat as only a job the thing of sowing seeds in dark ce.
The sown seeds grow with thebyrinths magic, when the flowers bloom shining in white it brings light in the passage,byrinths magic beasts and sub-races, since showing no interest in the white light grass, its said it keeps on blooming and continues to absorb the magic.
Magic beasts and sub-races in thebyrinth, thebyrinth creates it using magic power into cores of magic stones, a kind of illusion, thebyrinth spits out magic ingredient in the nature, summoning magic beasts and sub-races in the surroundings, reading this information, it seems it creates the same one within thebyrinth.
Because, in order to subjugate thebyrinth from the inside while destroying or collecting therge magical stone, in thebyrinths surroundings a powerful seed must be gathered so that a superior kind should not be created, its necessary to keep on subjugating it.
Magic beasts and sub-races in nature can of course use raw material of corpses, fundamentally when specimen of inside thebyrinth are defeated only magic stone are left behind. However, inside magic materials are thoroughly absorbed, the specimen it took hold are transformed bing superior kind, besides magic stones parts with high magic seems sometimes to fall as drop item, thats a feature corner encountered, if living armors are summoned, from the moment it was created it carries a sword or a shield.
Still, equipment and belongings of explorers that died within thebyrinth are also absorbed in it, that is sucking magic material of thebyrinth, it seems sometimes are spit out as magic items inside thebyrinth, and doesnt fall into the wayside, there happens to be in arge room inside of thebyrinth a pedestal, it seems to appear in a concealed passage inside a wayside shrine.
Why do something like this appear? Its a mystery. Among researchers concerningbyrinths predation target aremon races and beasts races, its said its bait to draw people inside thebyrinth, its said also its a game.
Life struggle of adventurers with thebyrinth, I dont feel strictly unrted more than I thought
Murmuring so, I closed the book I was reading and swiftly I remember that I am hungry.
I was hungry, Ill go back and buy tools for tomorrows aim.
Ill equip for tomorrows D rank promotion test, for today I should quickly go to bed.
