"Wait..!! Eight-headed snake..? Is Hydra..? " Tanya Mia
"No.. It's not Hydra, but the eight-headed snake Yamata-no-Orochi. He has... " Once again and again Mia stopped Argus
"Yamata-no-Orochi..? What monster is that..? " Task Mia.
"Miss.. Can you let my Master explain everything first until it's over, and then you ask me a question..? " Said Lisa who was impatient from earlier hearing Mia who kept interrupting Argus words.
"Ehh...?? " Mia's a little embarrassed.
"Well, Mia, can you stop asking questions and let Argus finish the explanation first.." Bell.
"alright.. " Say Mia.
"I will continue, Yamata-no-Orochi (Eight-headed Snake) they look more like Serpents than Dragons.
Then they had Eight heads and eight Tails unlike Hydra which had many heads but only one Tail,
And they don't have wings, so this isn't Hydra.. "
"This Yamata-no-Oroch Snake also does not have a regeneration skill only has a healing skill.. This Yamata-no-Orochi has a Fire Magic skill. Water Magic. Wind Magic, Earth magic. Lightning Magic. Ice Magic. Magic Booster power addition and healing Magic in each of his heads."
"The length of this Monster ± 30 meters with a Diameter of about 2 meters.
More or less like it's characteristic of this Yamata-no-Oroch snake.. " Say Argus
"It seems like this is a serious matter, if it is indeed as you say. Then this might be a new-type Monster Rank S or even higher... " Say Bell
"Thank you for the information, we will report this and then ask the central Guild to conduct a conquest immediately.. "
"That's not necessary, I think you can just report this Monster's data. Because as I said that I have finished it too.. " Say Argus
"Do you mean your words is that not only did you complete the investigation of this matter, you also completed or conquered this Monster..? " Tanya Mia
"That's right.. " Say Argus
Hearing that Bell checked the Conquest Quest and matched it with the Argus Card using his usual tool to check it.
It was similar to the crystal used to clarify his Unresolved Quest to the Guild Card. But this is used to see the name of the monster that has been conquered..
And the results show the many conquests that Argus has done and there is indeed the name of the two Monsters.
So it's true that Argus killed them.
Bell took a breath and considering that the Argus Conquest Points were indeed very piled up and unsuitable for Rank B adventurers, it was more suitable for Rank A adventurers who would soon Rise Rank S.
But maybe because the number of Quests Argus completed is not enough so he may not be able to Rise.
"Did you bring evidence of the serpent's conquest..? " Task Bell after knowing that.
"Yes I brought it, but at the moment there is only half. Because we shared it with the previous Baron.. " Said Argus.
"That's fine, we just wanted to retrieve the Monster data just now.. But it would be better if you sold it to us.. " Said Bell..
"I'm sorry about this we don't plan on selling everything.. " Said Argus.
"But I can sell materials.. "
"I mean..? " Task Mia.
"Yes, I only need this Monster's Flesh and bones. The rest of the material we can sell.. " Say Argus
"It doesn't matter, but can you sell a little bit of his Meat and bones as well..? We need a little bit of research.
Whether this kind of monster was flesh and bone could be utilized or not.. " Say Bell
"You're not a problem.. " Said Argus.
Then Argus dismantled the Snake into various materials before removing it.
After that he took out the various matrial Snakes, from the scales, some bones, the fangs. Eyes and other insides that can be used.
That material is very much to say half, so it proves that if it is still alive the size of this Monster will indeed be as Argus said before.
And again the bone that Argus gave him was the skull bone, so it was very clear the size of this beast judging from the size of his head.
After that Argus waited for a while before he received the payment, he received 750 gold coins. Bell said that this is special because the origin of this material is a monster that has not been known.
So the price the Guild offered was quite high for this half-Monster size.
After hearing that reason, Argus finally understood. This is like buying important information, so there is no harm in giving a high price.
After that Argus waited for a while before the person who was assigned to escort Argus to the Ruins came to the Guild and picked up Argus.
When the man arrives, Argus and Lisa decide to leave.
The distance of the ruins is not too far, it only takes about 10 minutes by riding the Horse provided by the Baron.
In front of the Ruins was already installed a simple fence and guarded by several soldiers.
But the soldiers were about 10 meters from the door was found, the reason is because they do not know whether there is danger from there or not.
So the soldiers chose to keep a safe distance but could still monitor at any time in the direction of that door.
Argus and Lisa walked over to the door of the Ruins. And Argus noticed that the walls and doors were indeed some size golems and vehicles that Argus thought were indeed planes.
Argus then took out the crystal ball that the Guild prepared and also gave Earrings to Lisa for use.
After that Argus took out some of his Ants to guard the Crystal, do not forget Argus told this to the soldiers. This is so that they will not try to attack the ants when they see it.
Then Argus and Lisa began to enter the ruins, where Argus saw many traces of traps that had been damaged.
But to be safe, Argus made an energy barrier that Argus had previously created.
He covers himself and Lisa, because Argus only makes one protector. He and Lisa had to walk close together.
And sure enough, there were still many active traps, ranging from fire magic attacks, arrows, spears, thorns and so forth appeared along the way.
Argus also saw the footprints that Monster had guessed, but Argus thought otherwise.
According to Argus it should not be a Monster but a Golem. Because these ruins have a picture of a Golem there.
And if it was a Monster, they should also be exposed to traps. So there can't be any monsters inhabiting these Ruins.
After walking down the rubble for a long time, Argus finally found a door that seemed to lead to a room.
"Don't get too far from me and be prepared for anything.. I'll open this door soon.. " Said Argus.
After that Argus opened the door and what was waiting inside was something that Argus and Lisa never expected..
"What is this..??!! " Say, Argus and Lisa.
.

. -----------------

.
Upon entering the room what awaits beyond Argus' estimation.
Because there is a vast grassland, blue sky and the sun is shining. And as far as the eye could see, it was a vast meadow and a few trees in the distance.
Meanwhile, there was only one building there. The building looks like a tower that is quite high, Argus estimates the height of the building is about ±40 meters.
"Masters.. Are we out of the room right now..? " Task Lisa.
Argus awoke from his shock as Lisa's voice glanced around again, and then looked up.
" No, I'm sure it's still in the Ruins Room.. " Say Argus
Argus used an eye of insight to look at the sun and the results matched his estimates. It was an artificial sun.
In other words, they are not at all moved outside the room, but still indoors. While the view of the sky turned out to use an illusion of light that seemed to show they were outside the room.
Argus admired the construction of these ruins, in this case alone has proven the height of magic and technology in these ruins.
Both artificial Sun, optical illusion magic, and Argus also suspect there is magic or other technology that keeps the temperature of the environment inside these ruins warm like the outdoor temperature.
"Let's head for the building.. " Said Argus.
Then he began to approach the only building that was there, along the way Argus saw many small animals such as rabbits and chickens running around.
But what attracted the attention of Argus is not both that or the high building.
Other plants near the building..
"It's a tea plant..?!! " She cried Lisa.
Yes what was there was Tea, but it was not tea that caught Argus' attention. But the vines that are in the stem of the tea tree there.
Argus then approached the plant and observed it, the vines attached to the tea had small leaves. But the shape is a little familiar to Argus.
And the plant had a large fruit attached to it, and then Argus picked the leaves and fruit from the plant and paid more attention.
"Master..? Is there something strange about the Loimos plant..? " Ask Lisa
"Lisa's. Do you know what this plant is..? " Task Argus.
"Ehh.. Isn't that a pest..? These plants are usually present in Tea trees which are considered as pests because they absorb nutrients from the tea tree and can make them wither.
So these are considered pests by most people.. " Answer Lisa.
"Damn it, no wonder no one knows. It has been considered a parasite.. And also the shape is completely different from what I know.." Argus
"Is there something wrong with this Loimos Plant..? " Task Lisa curiously.
"Haiyah... " Argus let out a breath for a moment.
"This plant is called Loimos. This is actually the coffee plant I was looking for.. "
"This is the coffee plant that Master was looking for..? But as different as what the master said..? " Speak Lisa while squatting in front of the Loimos plant and observing it.
"Yes, this is my fault. I didn't think it would be much different from what I knew.. " Say Argus
"However in addition to the shape of the plant and the size of its leaves. If you look closely, this Loimos leaf is similar to the Coffee Leaves that I explained despite its much smaller size.. "
"And even though there are no flowers here, but this Loimos fruit or seeds that are much larger in size are indeed Coffee Beans.. " Said Argus.
Because Argus is already using the eye of insight to ascertain this, so Argus is sure if this is really a Coffee plant.
Name: loimos vines
Characteristics :
It grows by sucking nutrients from other plants to survive.
It has hard and bitter seeds because it contains higher caffeine that comes from the plants it absorbs (tea)
Having benefits can help increase metabolism in the body, including in fat burning.
No doubt this Loimos plant is really the coffee plant that Argus wants..
Maybe because of its shape and the growth of this coffee plant by sticking to the Tea plant that is popular for nobles, so many do not want Coffee.
Moreover, the taste of coffee itself is very bitter, so no one wants to take advantage and try it.
This makes everyone think of this Loimos plant as a pest or parasite..
"Lisa, help me pick the fruit of this Loimos tree that is perfectly red. If it is green or yellow, leave it.. " Say Argus
"No. Wait for.. Let the ants do this, we still have to explore the building.. "
At first he wanted to pick his own coffee beans, but he remembered the purpose of coming here, so he decided to let the ants do this task.
After all, the number of Loimos trees here is huge, so it might be easy for Argus and Lisa to do it on their own. So the ants are the best choice to do the task of collecting these Loimos seeds.
Not to forget Argus also put this Tea tree and Loimos into his storage. And certainly more of the Loimos that Argus took. Because this is considered a pest or parasite, then there is no harm in taking large quantities..
After that Argus and Lisa started walking towards getting up in the middle of the tea tree area.
The building is not large enough, its diameter is about ten meters. And the shape of the cylinder upwards.
"This is the magic tower..? "
