Isak city.
Right now Argus had reached the city, and he headed straight for the adventure Guild to hand over the Quest he had taken earlier..
However as Argus and Lisa entered the Guild, he saw that either the current Secilia or Ema seemed to be very busy. Because of the many queues of adventurers that were in front of them.
Seeing that Argus decided to rest first in the Bar section. There the argus heard various talks and reports of other adventurers..
And most of the reports said the number of monsters that had grown stronger that they had recently encountered.
Most of the monsters in the Quests they took had turned into stronger variant Monsters or the number had increased by more than the information contained in that Quest.
So many adventurers ended up failing to run the Quest they took, and many also ended up suffering a lot of injuries because of it.
But because they did not provide other evidence such as the corpse of a Monster or the like and only gave a report.
The Guilds were initially troubled as they could not figure out which one had really failed due to the Monster variant and which one had failed due to the adventurer's fault itself.
Right now it seemed like the Guild party was going through a lot of trouble due to this, they had to use lie detection tools one after another.
And the result is there are indeed some who really failed because the Monster they met was not as informed. But there are also those who lie, because they do not want to pay the fine.
They also say that they failed because the Monster they encountered was stronger or more like the others, but eventually they still had to pay a fine for mission failure which resulted in their own mistakes.
In the end due to the lack of clear information, the current Guild Party could only expect adventurers to carry out their missions in groups to avoid accidents if alone.
Not long after, the party led by Garan that Argus had previously saved came and they seemed to report everything and because they were carrying evidence of conquest as well, too, the guild party finally began to raise the matter to a more serious level.
After finishing the Report, Garan and his Party walked out of the adventurer Guild Building.
As they leave, they see Argus and Lisa, then return to thank him before leaving.
After not too many looks, Argus decided to walk towards the guild receptionist Cesilia, who seemed to have just returned from upstairs after reporting the matter to the Guild manager.
"Excuse me, I want to hand over the Quest I took.. " Said Argus.
"Did you finish one of them..? Thank goodness that's so. At least there is still a completed Quest.. " Secilia said
"So which quest have you completed..? Killer bears, Basilic Lizards or Alpha Spiders..?"
"I've completed all three.. " Say Argus
"Oh his third Quest... " After saying that the movement of Secilia paused for a moment.
"What..? You have finished all three..? 2 Rank B and 1 Rank A quests in a day..? "
"Yes.. Since I took a lot of time for the Magic experiments, the creation of the Rune Catalyst and to rest, I ended up taking quite a long time.. " Say Argus
"wait around.. That is to say you even took the time to experiment and create a Rune Material in the middle of doing this Quest..? " Task Secilia
"Yes.. Did doing experiments and so while running the Quest violate the rules..? " Tell Argus
"No, there's no such rule.. What I mean is, aren't you too quick to complete those three Quests..? How do you do it..?" Ask Secilia.
"Ehh.. I seem to be doing it the usual way..? " Say Argus while scratching his head.
"Is there a problem if I save too soon..? "
"Haiha.. No, I'm just surprised.
Because other than you, none of the adventurers who previously reported have completed the Quest they took.. " Secilia.
"They always reported that the Monsters they encountered were stronger than Reports, like Monsters who were supposed to be Rank E but had the power of Rank D or even C...
And there are also those who say the number and the Monster does not match the Quest information.. "
"Initially even though they did not say a lie, but because there is no definitive proof. The Guild intended to send an investigation to ascertain this.. "
"However, the Rank D adventurer Party had previously reported and brought the Monster Corpse as a Report.
And that shortened our investigation, we directly proceeded to the report stage to the Count who led the soldiers in Isak City and let him decide with the Marques.. "
"We will wait for the decision of the center, whether they will conduct their own investigation to resolve this matter or they will leave this matter to the Guild.. "
"Oh right, is there a special report also in your Quest..? " Tanya Secilia.
"I don't know what kind of special report you're referring to, but for Quest Rank B the Basilik Lizard still seems to be the same as Quest Information.
As for the Killer Bear, we found Three instead of One Bear like the one in that Quest..
Then for Quest Rank A Alpha Spider, in the nest that the Quest shows it is not an Alpha Spider. The Gretara Spider.. " Said Argus.
"What..? Did the number of Killer Bears exceed the number of Conquest Quests prepared..? And again what the fuck with the Alfa Spider Rank Change..? " Shouted Secilia.
"No, it's no longer an ordinary Rank change..
Basically it's been a different monster. . "
"Alpha spiders and Gretara spiders although often called the same species, in fact they are different..
They look almost the same because they are often called the same. But it's a big mistake. "
"Gretara Spiders are a Rank A Monster species that is on par with the Dragon Race Monsters..
Or you could say it was a spider dragon.. Are you sure it is the Gretara Spider..? Not a variant Alpha spider..?" Secilia.
"I'm sure about that.. Because its characteristics are indeed the same as the Gretara Spider, and again I have the analytical skills to distinguish the Name of the Monster and the material. So I'm sure this is Gretara not Alfa.. " Said Argus.
"You see, it seems like the matter this time is really serious..
Oh right, did you bring back the evidence of conquest..? " Tanya Secilia.
"Yes I brought it all, but... " Say Argus
"Is there a problem..? Is the material broken..? But it doesn't matter, as long as it can be recognized. That will help us conduct further investigations.. " Secilia said
"No, it's not that.. But I've taken all of Gretara's spider meat.. " Said Argus.
"Haiha.. I guess what.. " Secilia.
"Huhh thank goodness... Since I've eaten all the meat, I guess I'll get in trouble.. " Said Argus.
"Oh that's fine... Wait..!!! You ate it..?? Isn't that poisonous..?! " Shouted Secilia.
"Yes indeed, it feels quite spicy.. So it's delicious, I don't need to add a lot of chili when grilling it.. " Say Argus with a smile.
Hearing that, Secilia simply fell silent and patted her head.
"I don't know what else to respond to you.. "
"Forget it, let's head to the Demolition Room and look at his Monster Corpse.. "
Then they walked to the demolition room and then Argus took out the Three Dead Bears, then the bodies of the Basilik Lizard, each of which was quite large.
Then Argus looked around that seemed to be full of stuff.
"It doesn't seem like there's enough room here if I take out the Gretara Spiders as well.. "
"No problem. Let me take care of it.. " Secilia.
Then he asked the people there to move the various tables and other items that were there.
Looking at the room that had been cleared, Argus nodded and then took out the Gretara Spider Monster which reached ten Meters in height. And his back looks like a skull-like pattern.
Then Argus also did not forget to take out many other small spiders that are very large in number.
The pile reached over a meter, but it only consisted of fangs.
This indicates that the number of small spiders has reached thousands of tails.
"This really is a Gretara Rank S Monster Spider.. But the information obtained is the Alpha Spider, how does this become the Gretara Spider..? " Secilia.
"Is this possible because of the effect of the Dungeon being open..? " Task Lisa who was silent.
"Dungeon's open..? True if this was due to the reason for the Monster House, then this entire matter could already be explained..
Now what would be a problem was where the Monster House was located..? " Secilia said
"Dungeon's open..? Monster House about What is it..? I don't think I read any information about that in the city library.. " Tell Argus
"It's only natural that you don't find it in any book, because it's just common knowledge and it's never recorded anywhere.. " Secilia said
"So like this Master..
Dungeons are actually of two kinds. The first dungeon was closed and the two Dungeons were open.
That sealed Dungeon is........" Lisa then explained what the Open Dungeon meant..
It turned out that a closed Dungeon was a Dungeon consisting of many Floors and Bosses within, which usually people or adventurers often entered to conquer and take the Core and its resources.
Although most will only focus on Monster cores because the Matrial in it is not too much..
Whereas an open Dungeon is a dungeon that there is only one Floor inside of it. And this Dungeon would continuously produce one type of monster that would continuously come out of the Dungeon.
People also often refer to open Dungeons as Monster Hives or Monster Houses.
This type of Dungeon does not produce monster cores like Dungeons in general but rather like common monsters that leave the corpses of Monsters when defeated. But this Monster Nest still has a Core Dungeon as its center like Dungeons in general..
And within the Monster Nest or Monster House it would produce various rare seeds in greater numbers.
However this type also produced Direct and Indirect Impacts which were much worse than Closed Dungeons.
Because an open Dungeon or Monster House this will affect the monsters that are around it and also affect the surrounding Environment at the same time.
And if the matrial in it in the mine continuously will result in a decrease in soil quality faster than the closed Dungeon.
This was because the core Core of the Monster House would absorb the Mana present in the environment just as the Core Dungeon was closed to renew what was inside..
As an example of its Direct impact such as when the dungeon's Core Core would actively attract Monsters approaching which would make them stronger or even evolve to a higher Race if they stayed near let alone enter and live in it.
Then this can endanger the surrounding community or even extend to other areas.
It is also possible that has been the reason why the Alpha Spiders evolved into the higher Race that is the Gretara Spiders..
This was what caused Guilds to have to frequently clear the Area around the Dungeon open.
Or if it was not possible to do so routinely for some reason, then the Guild would take the decision to seal the Monster House by gathering many Mages who could learn the seal.
This was taken for the same reason as the closed Dungeon, sure no one could ever find a way to exterminate or destroy the Dungeon..
"If something like this were to happen, maybe if I were to tell about the ability to destroy a Dungeon it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing..
Moreover, I can help a lot of people.. " Murm Argus
"Has this case ever happened before..? I mean the case where it was necessary to seal the Monster House..? " Tell Argus
"So far in the Kingdom of Illia has never happened, but in the Kingdom of Raika it has happened.. " Secilia said
"Raika Kingdom..? " Say Argus
"Yes indeed, it is in the desert area of Gabo or what was called Gabo City before.. " Said Lisa.
"It looks like your knowledge is pretty broad Lisa, if only you didn't have that seal. I would probably recommend you to become a Guild Receptionist here.. " Secilia said
"Thank you, but I already like my current situation with Master.. " Said Lisa.
"Yes I know, if I can also be close to a guy like Argus. I might as well be happy no matter what my condition.. " Secilia said.
Lisa smiled and moved slightly closer to Argus.
"Indeed what has happened in Gabo City until it became the current Desert City..? " Task Argus.
"So like this Master..
Formerly Gabo City........ "
