Under the leadership of the "Arsenal of Spirits," the alchemy guild began to manage the dungeon.
Alchemists with shovels and pickaxes lined up and entered the dungeon one after another.
Lunge. Here is the skill list of each alchemist.
Roland handed Ranju a revised list of skills submitted by each alchemy guild.
''Quite a quintessence.
Lange looked at the list handed to him by Roland and marveled.
''How''s the mine prep going?''
It''s perfect.
Lange unfolded a map he had prepared in advance and showed it to them.
There is an ''earthcraft'' mine on the eighth level of the dungeon, an iron mine on the twelfth level, and a silver mine on the fourteenth level. These are the three with the largest ore deposits in the dungeon. In this dungeon management, I will mainly dig these three dungeons."
Good. All right."
Roland looks over the map to see if there is anything suspicious, then returns it to Lange.
Lange, this time our goal is not to make a profit but to draw the alchemy guild members into our camp. Let them make money while we pursue profit in moderation.
I understand. What about the Adventurers'' Guild?
I''ve made arrangements. They should be here by now. ...... Oh, you''re here."
Roland caught sight of his unit approaching, led by Monica.
In addition to the regular troopers, three newcomers were following them, Rick, Lelio, and Marina.
The three newcomers came to the entrance of the dungeon looking nervous before their first mission.
Ugh," they said. I''m so nervous!
Marina said anxiously.
Me too," she said. I never thought I would suddenly join the main force of the "Guardians of the Magical Tree.
Lelio said in agreement.
All three of them had achieved enough to graduate from the training school, but they did not expect to be hired by a major guild like the "Guardians of the Magic Tree" with average grades.
They had already been the object of the jealous and envious glances of their peers in one way or another.
''Hey, boys, don''t waste your time talking. We''re about to enter the dungeon."
Rick said in a completely leader-like manner.
His willingness to take the initiative in everything he did made him a leader of the three newcomers.
(I get to train with the main unit. This is an opportunity. If I can get the captain''s approval here, I may be on my way to becoming a famous adventurer in one fell swoop.)
Rick was marching along the back of the line with more enthusiasm than most people.
Stop! Line up!"
Monica, after getting the troops in line, rushed up under Roland.
''Mr. Roland. Troop muster is complete."
Yeah. Thank you.
(Oh, this is the guy who was interviewing me.)
Lelio looked at Loran curiously.
(Looks like he''s an appraiser. ......, is he going into the dungeon too? I mean, what the hell kind of ...... is this guy?)
Rick tilted his head, too.
(Monica, a Class A adventurer, was the first to greet him. Is this guy really that great?)
While the three of us were in a daze, the other members of the team greeted Roland one by one.
Excuse me, sir. What in the world is that man ......? I see you are an appraiser. ......"
Rick asked the veteran troopers.
''Yeah, that guy. ......''
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Euphine spoke sharply, as if to rebuke Rick and the others.
This is Mr. Roland, the captain of the second unit of our "Guardians of the Magic Tree".
""What? What?
The three of them shouted in unison.
You''re the newcomers, so you''re the ones who have to say hello.
I beg your pardon.
Rick quickly bows his head.
The other two followed suit.
(Huh? (But was there a stone monument in the dungeon attack named Roland?)
Lelio twisted his head inwardly as he bowed his head.
Members who conquer dungeons are inscribed on a stone monument in the quest reception area as inductees into the Hall of Fame.
Anyone in town could view it.
The man said, "Ha-ha-ha. It''s okay, it''s okay. I should have told you first. I''m the captain. Well, at any rate, we are all here now. I''ll explain. Listen up, everyone.
Roland raises his voice to everyone.
The mission is to support and escort the alchemy guild. Everyone is asked to help the alchemists work more efficiently. Dungeon management is also a chance to maintain and improve their status during the holidays. Each of you will be given an assignment, so be sure to complete it well.
Yes."
The members of the unit enter the dungeon in groups.
Most of them were in high spirits, but the three newcomers entered the dungeon with a sense of disappointment at having made a bad impression on the captain.
The newcomers took the bait right away, Mr. Roland.
Shakuma said teasingly.
I''m going to have to give them a stern talking-to later.
Yuffine said.
I don''t know. I''m not that dignified, am I?
Roland said slightly dejectedly, putting his hand over his face.
Ha-ha-ha."
Monica chuckled.
''Don''t worry about it,'' she said. We know what you are really capable of. They will find out sooner or later.
Shakuma said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Even after the dungeon boss had been defeated and the monsters at the lowest level had left the area, small fry monsters would appear and interfere with the activities of the humans on a whim, and if they were careless, their possessions or lives could be taken away.
For this reason, the escort of adventurers was indispensable to dungeon management.
For the alchemy guilds, adventurers had to guard them from monsters, clear roads, fence in key places, and in some cases, build walls.
''All right. I''ll give you today''s assignment, then. Rick, Lelio, and Marina, step forward."
The three of them step forward at Roland''s call.
Rick is to bring 50 stones to the construction site to be used as materials for the walls. Lelio is to take 200 potions to the warehouse. Marina is to take 100 fire magic stones (which reduce magic power just by possessing them) to the warehouse. Of course, she must do this while wearing her equipment."
The three were all nervous in anticipation of the tough assignment Roland had given them.
（The guild''s training is different from that of the training center, after all. The training camps at the most had us marching with armaments,......, but marching while carrying stones for the city walls,....... (It will cut down on your status considerably).
Do you have any questions? No? Okay, then, next. Monica."
Yes!
You are to take 100 stones for the walls to the construction site. Shakuma and Yufine are to bring 200 magic stones to the warehouse. Of course, you will keep your equipment on and intercept the enemy when monsters appear, protect the newcomers and the alchemists. You will also take command of your own squad."
""Yes.""
(What, you''re doing twice as much as us while also fighting and commanding? What kind of crazy thing did this guy do?)
Rick was appalled by Roland''s instructions.
He was also stunned by Monica and the others who followed them obediently.
Loran then proceeded to give the other members of the unit assignments according to their status and goals.
Roland then gave the other members of the unit assignments according to their statuses and goals. All of you have been given your assignments. Then let''s get to work.
Roland''s unit began its mission to support the alchemists.
Koo-hoo-hoo!"
Rick somehow manages to keep up with the troops while pulling on a string tied to a stone for a castle wall.
The alchemists walked onward, unconcerned with the burden the adventurers were carrying.
Monica passes by Rick''s side.
She was carrying two stones on her back, but she was light on her feet, alert to her surroundings and keeping an eye on the troopers'' activities.
Are you okay?"
Yes, sir. Somehow.
Rick, however, was already halfway there and seemed to be at his limit.
He should take it easy."
No, I don''t know what this is. ......
I''m already out of breath. This is a monster-free zone, so you should rest for now. There you go. I''ll take those rocks with me.
Monica takes the stones for the ramparts away from Rick.
I''m sorry.
Rick crumpled down on the spot and decided to rest for a while until his status was restored.
As Monica is advancing again, keeping Rick safe, Lelio quickly passes by next to him.
Instead of being in charge of carrying lighter items like potions, he had to be fast in his hauling.
(We need to carry them faster. We won''t make it to 200 by the end of the day.)
Lelio moves ahead in no time.
(Fast! Agility (agility) 50-60 is about right (......)
He''ll eventually get to 100 in agility."
Oh, Mr. Roland. ......
Monica turns to Roland, who has been next to her for some time.
He is probably going to make a name for himself as a legitimate archer."
......"
Are you okay?"
Monica looked a little conflicted but smiled robustly.
She smiled robustly. I have my own way of fighting. Even if I can''t become a legitimate archer, I won''t be depressed anymore.
I''m not sure I''ll be able to do it. Well said. That''s what I wanted to hear.
Roland said, satisfied.
Oh, there are about ten goblins approaching.
Monica caught the approaching enemy in Hawkeye.
''I guess I''ll go intercept them.
With that, Monica lowered the string that was tied to the stone and went to her firing position.
''Whew! I can''t walk anymore.
At the back of the line, Marina is whining weakly.
You haven''t even carried five magic stones yet! We''re going to have to make ten round trips after this, so get walking."
Yuffine poked Marina with her cane and forced her to walk.
After several round trips to the castle walls, potions, and transporting magic stones, Monica and the others had finished their assignments by the time lunchtime rolled around.
Meanwhile, the three newcomers were giving up at about 60% progress.
Gosh, it''s too hard."
I can''t take another step.
......"
Oh, dear. Already exhausted? You haven''t even accomplished 60% of your assignment yet."
Roland said in dismay.
''You seem to have completely exhausted your energy.
You''re so sloppy."
Ha-ha-ha.
While Rick and the other three were running out of energy, Monica and the other three had finished their assignments and still had energy left over.
（d*mn these people. They''re working twice as hard as we are. How much energy do they have?)
Lelio rubbed his swollen leg and looked at Monica and the others with a disappointed expression.
Roland appraises Rick''s status.
Rick.
Arm strength (power): 1-50
Endurance (toughness): 1-60
Agility: 1-30
Physical strength (stamina): 1-50
(The minimum value of all basic statuses is 1. Oh dear. I can''t help but notice that my power, toughness, and stamina are all drained, but the fact that my agility is also depleted is proof that I''m still not good enough to use my body.
Roland also used status appraisals on both Lelio and Marina.
Both of them, like Rick, had all kinds of status exhaustion.
(Tomorrow, after they recover, we will appraise their statuses again. They''ll have to learn how to use their bodies first.)
All right. That''s all for today. Get some rest for tomorrow."
Roland told each of the three to take a potion that would enhance the status they wanted to improve, and then left.
Monica," he said. Are you guys okay?
Yes, sir. Yes, I''m still fine. Oh, but could you do a status evaluation just in case?"
Oh, yes.
When Roland appraised the status of Monica and the others, it was clear that they still had some strength left in them.
Roland''s evaluation of Monica''s and Monica''s status showed that they did indeed still have some strength. I think we''re going to be okay.
We''re going to go train on our own now.
I see. I''m going to take the three newcomers back to the city. I''m going to take the three newcomers back to the city. You should finish up in moderation.
Yes, sir. Take care, Mr. Roland.
(Okay, now for Jill''s training.)
Roland returned to town and took the newcomers back to the "Guardian of the Magic Tree" dormitory, and then headed for Jill''s training, which was actually the thing he was looking forward to the most today.
He was meeting her at the "Arsenal of Spirits.
