Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Eina's Surprise
Eina's surprise was not without reason.
Space-related magic is extremely rare, not to mention the special function of storing items.
No one in Orario has ever heard of someone possessing such magic.
If the Goddess Loki were to find out, they would probably snatch it away immediately, right?
Eina knew that the last time the Loki Familia went on an expedition, they failed, it was because of logistical problems that they couldn't bring too many spare weapons. In the end, due to the wear and tear of the weapons, they couldn't continue fighting and had to abandon the expedition.
As long as the Loki Familia can find a person with space storage magic, the Loki Familia will most likely open a new level during the expedition.
"What a pity..."
It's a pity that Link, who possesses such rare magic, chose Hestia, who had nothing.
Of course, it's not surprising that Eina thought that. She didn't know what happened between Link and Loki when they were on the street before.
Because they looked down on him, there would be times when he would regret it later.
Seeing so many magic stones in front of her, Eina calmed down, put on a serious face, and looked at Link seriously.
"Mr. Link, since it's such an important skill, why are you still showing it off in front of me? You should keep it a secret! The correct way is to return to your family first and divide the magic stones into batches. Then send it over and sell it so you don't have to worry about exposure?"
Eina's expression was quite serious.
Of course, it's not that Link doesn't know that method, but it's that going to the guild in batches to sell it, let alone the problem, won't it arouse the suspicions of others?
A newcomer who visits the guild so many times and sells a large amount of magic stones and materials in batches will also be targeted by others.
It would be better to let Eina know.
It's better to be known by one person than to be doubted by most people.
"Miss Eina, what I want to sell isn't just magic stones. If it's just magic stones, I can ask my Goddess to help me cover them up. But what I got in the dungeon isn't just magic stones."
"Drop items?"
Eina naturally understood what Link meant.
However, the probability of monsters dropping items is very low. If you sell one or two pieces, they won't suspect you, right?
Just as Eina was confused, Link raised his hand and snapped his fingers again. Soon, a metallic sound could be heard in the room and many materials dropped by the monsters suddenly fell down.
There are goblin fangs and kobold claws.
This large amount of things, along with the magic stones from before, almost filled the entire room.
"A lot!?"
Eina was confused by the large amount of dropped materials.
She turned her head with a stiff neck and looked at Link: "Lin… Mr. Link, are these… all dropped items?"
Link nodded helplessly.
After confirming this, Eina's eyelids twitched unconsciously.
Oh My God!
What's with this amount of drops?
For example, after the Loki Familia and Freya Familia returned from expeditions, there would be drops of this magnitude for sale.
Normally, throughout the day, the guild might not receive even half the amount of drops it received here.
Eina picked up the dropped items and looked at them. All of the dropped items came from two monsters, goblins, and kobolds.
Although these two monsters are easy to kill, the drops may not drop even once in 100, so they can be considered rare.
After being forged by the blacksmiths of the Hephaestus Family, these two dropped items can be used to forge powerful weapons and accessories, which are much stronger than ordinary steel weapons.
"Mr. Link, tell me the truth, how many goblins and kobolds have you killed today?"
Eina looked around. There were at least three to four hundred pieces of goblin fangs and kobold claws here.
Link touched his head, thought for a while, and then said a vague number…
"About four or five hundred of them, right?"
Four or five hundred?
A new adventurer can kill four to five hundred goblins and kobolds in a dungeon in one day?
Eina was a little confused, but soon realized the problem.
Dungeons generally don't suddenly appear with so many monsters for adventurers to kill.
Generally speaking, the number of monsters an adventurer faces at the same time in a dungeon is between 1 and 3. If it exceeds 20 monsters, it is considered a small monster feast.
After killing the monsters, the dungeon will take some time to spawn new monsters.
Killing four to five hundred goblins and kobolds in one day was definitely excessive. In short, the dungeon shouldn't spawn monsters so quickly.
"Mr. Link, did you encounter a monster feast in the dungeon?"
"Shouldn't the Monster Feast only occur after the third floor with a small probability?"
Monster Feast, this is a situation unique to dungeons.
It means that in the same area, a large number of monsters are suddenly born and the entire area is instantly filled. This situation is usually a nightmare for newcomers and they cannot escape.
But this never happens in the first few layers.
If this happens at the entrance and exit of the dungeon, a large number of monsters will quickly rush out of the dungeon and ordinary residents of Orario will not have to live normally.
"So, how did Mr. Link encounter so many goblins and kobolds? Such a number should not be..."
In fact, Link has never thought about this topic, but now that he thinks about it, it is really strange.
These monsters did not appear suddenly, but after he killed one wave and rested briefly, another wave appeared after a while.
Wave after wave, there is no need for Link to move back and forth to specifically search for the monster's location.
"I don't even understand it myself. Almost always, after killing a small group of goblins or kobolds, after some time to adjust and rest, I discover the next wave of monsters or it is born right after me. Nearby. Except it doesn't appear much during lunch, it's like this at other times."
Upon hearing this, Eina showed a look of 'Are you kidding me? ' expression.
According to the description, these monsters simply stare at Link's location, specifically targeting the general appearance, but giving them time to breathe and rest.
And…
If they don't appear during lunch, what the heck is this?
This is the first time Aina has encountered something like this, but Link now has some guesses…
I guess it's my 'The World's Favor' skill coming into play again.
