Manga Born to Be King

　　"It's... the smuggled goods circulated from the city, the channel and the matching firm have been identified."

　　"Well, well done."

　　After hearing the report of the elf called Lorrel, Hermes nodded in satisfaction.

　　Orari has an underground labyrinth (dungeon), and is the world's largest city for the production of magic stone products, and smuggled goods are frequent.Some products or raw magic stones will escape the attention of the management organization (guild) that monopolizes the rights related to magic stones, and use all means to exploit loopholes in the city's inventory and trade between other countries or cities.Although guilds and cooperating families are strictly banned, in a city that is too large, the problem of smuggling is always unavoidable.

　　It is one of the tasks of the Hermes family to secretly investigate the passage of smuggled goods and find out the relevant organizations.They went out of the city in the form of accepting the guild's commission to investigate the purchaser or the source of the goods.This is one of the reasons why they are able to freely enter and exit the city, who work as cargo carriers.A neutral faction that can flexibly use the Magic Item of the Almighty, and has a fairly high degree of credit for completing missions.

　　Hermes and the others, who received the report of their return by letter in advance, came tonight to greet the members who had been away from the city for a long time to investigate smuggling.

　　"All kinds of information are written on this... Also, one point, it must be reported..."

　　The elf team members handed the parchment scroll to Hermes, the slender and fair skin turned pale, and said, "As you said... We also confirmed the smuggling of monsters..."

　　"Who is the buyer?"

　　"The place we infiltrated is the residence of the nobles of Ellia... After investigating the passage, we learned that the monsters may also be transported to the location of the nobles and nobles in other areas."

　　Perhaps remembering what they saw with their own eyes, the elf members seemed to endure nausea and pressed their slender throats with their hands.

　　"In the underground torture chamber, there is a monster in chains. I can't say for sure if it was trained, but it was treated with heinous cruelty."

　　"It was dying when we broke in there... Please give this to our countrymen before we die..."

　　An orc walked out from behind the elves and handed a white cloth bag to Hermes.

　　After dropping the props, Hermes untied the cloth bag, which contained the horns of the monster that left countless scars—a relic.

　　The male god narrowed his orange-yellow eyes.Hearing what they described, and seeing the horrific horns, the surrounding members, including Asfi, all stared at it.

　　"It spoke! The monster begged us for help. It understands human language as well as we do, crying for help in tears!!"

　　The girl's breathing became heavy.She pressed her right hand to one of her wide eyes, revealing an out-of-the-ordinary gesture.The elf girl who is obsessed with cleanliness is flustered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is insane.Her beautiful eyes were twisted by teardrops, and in front of the Lord God, the emotions that had accumulated so far continued to erupt.

　　"Then what are you going to do, God Hermes?"

　　Looking sideways at the tired girl and the others leaving, Asfi said to him unhappily.

　　"Although the order to entrust the Lord is absolute, we can only collect information everywhere..."

　　Having said this, he paused for a moment and whispered, "Oh, really. You gave us such a big hot potato, Uranus..."

　　After staring at the moonlit night with slender eyes at the corners of his eyes, Hermes' eyes fell on the parchment scroll he had just obtained.On the opened parchment, there are businesses associated with the smugglers, as well as information on tracking down the path of smuggling monsters.They traced all the way to the labyrinth city of Orari, and finally named the name of a certain family.

　　The faction name is written on it as Ikeros Familia.

　　(One of the previous chapters labeled Hermes as Hermes, it hurts.) .

Chapter 295

　　There was a clanging sound of chains in the darkness.Intertwined with the metal sound of the violent impact, what shook the space was a roar of burning anger, or a mournful cry.Terrible shrill barks, roaring in the dark.

　　"Let the dragon girl monster run away?"

　　No. [-] person didn't care about the noise around him, and said lazily.

　　This is a black-haired human, male.

　　He wears goggles made of smoky crystal, with red pupils faintly visible under the tinted black lenses.The man was tall, with muscular chest and neck showing through his dirty battle suit.Attached to the waist is a large ~ battle dagger equivalent to a short sword.

　　This person sat on the empty black cage, his feet were sloppy, and his tone and tone gave the impression of being rude.

　　"I saw it on the nineteenth floor, but lost it... hug, sorry, Dix."

　　"It's really a big loss. If you can capture it alive and sell it to the nobles in Ellia, it will be a lot of money."

　　A total of four adventurers, male and female, bowed their heads, and the man in goggles called Dix looked up.

　　The stone ceiling is clogged with darkness, giving it a sense of oppression.A large number of black cages were placed around, and a few magic stone lamps tied with ropes illuminated the faces of several demihumans who were pacing back and forth.And the sound of chains and roars at them all came from inside the cage.

　　"Those monsters' dens haven't been found yet... It should be in the "Big Tree Labyrinth". You are talking about the nineteenth floor, right? Tell me in detail about the situation at that time."

　　"Uh, good... When we found the Dragon Girl, the town Rivera was sending out a request from adventurers to let a group of people hunt firebirds, and all the adventurers went to the floor."

　　"There were two elves yelling that they heard the monster talking, but that's all, no one believed it. I think the dragon girl should still be in the dungeon... or she was killed by other monsters."

　　Hearing the other party's indescribable words, the man in goggles thought for a while, and then said, "Some guys are arguing, but not half of them come forward and say that they have solved the monster... Maybe some idiot from somewhere hid it. Are you up?"

　　At least if the industry solves the "talking dragon girl", this strange monster should form a topic.The man expressed his opinion.

　　Hearing what the man said with the corners of his mouth lifted, the adventurers were surprised at first, then laughed and said, "How is that possible."

　　As for why?That's a monster!Would someone really kill it and hide it? !

　　"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore!"

　　One can't help but laugh at one of these dramatic answers.

　　"Isn't that dragon girl also very beautiful? Even if an idiot adventurer is fascinated by it, it is not surprising."

　　"If you say that..."

　　The male adventurers present fell silent. Men have always been the least resistant to lust.

　　"Hey, of course, as you said, it may be killed by monsters, or still wandering around the floor. I'll take a look... Also, check out the list of adventurers who participated in the town's Rivera adventure. "

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???

　　Hearing this instruction, the adventurers hurriedly nodded and started to act.Squinting as they run away, the man in goggles turns back.

　　"That's it... God Ikeros, can I ask you a favor this time?"

　　"Hee hee, is this your attitude of begging the Lord God to do things? Arrogant brat."

　　In front of the man's line of sight, there is a male god.Dark blue hair and eyes of the same color, brown skin, and black-based clothing.A frivolous smile was engraved on the graceful face that proved his identity as a deity.From just now until now, the young god, who has not said a word and watched the movements of the men with interest, crossed his legs on the stone platform he was sitting on.

......  

　　"God can see through the lies of children (us), I would like to trouble you if you see suspicious people, spy on them."

　　"It's so troublesome, I'm a god, do you want to instruct me?"

　　God, Ikeros smiled maliciously, causing Dix, the man wearing goggles, to laugh out of his throat.

　　"It should relieve your boredom."

　　"There's no way."

　　The words of his family made Ikeros show a smile unique to a god who is hungry for "entertainment".

　　"Make me laugh this time too, Dix?"

　　In the dark night, one person laughed wildly.The surrounding roars seemed to accompany them and seemed to despise them..

Chapter 296

　　"Although I've heard of it before... But when I face the deity, I can only be surprised."

　　Hephaestus scratched his right eye patch with his fingers and said so in front of Winnie.

　　In the living room of the "House of Kitchen Fire" where the rising sun shines, Jianyu Thor, Mikh and Goddess Hephaestus came to the headquarters to gather.

　　"Monsters that don't attack people...and they can communicate."

　　"The lower realm... no, even the common sense of the celestial realm has been subverted."

　　"It may not be enough to explain the abnormal situation in one sentence..."

　　Under the gaze of the members of the Hestia clan, the gods stern faces.

　　Although Hestia, who had found three god friends, asked them, "Do you have any clues at all?", but they only shook their heads.

　　Even the gods are panicking... Could it be that Winnie is really such an abnormal existence?

　　"Those who know something... Probably only the guild?"

　　When everyone continued to discuss, Hephaestus said a word, which brought a sense of tension to everyone.

　　"Indeed, they are more likely to know something than me now."

　　"But it's too dangerous to spy on the guild's intelligence."

　　The guild is the management organization of the city, and it is also the manager of the labyrinth.In other words, the guild is likely to know more about the current dungeon than the family, or has exclusive information, or even has not told the confidential information of the grassroots staff such as Aegina.

　　However, it would be quite dangerous if Winnie's existence was detected by that management agency.If it is known that they are protecting monsters, it will endanger the family's position. Needless to say, in the worst case, Winnie, a collection of abnormal conditions, may be taken as a sample for testing...

　　The gods also crossed their arms, showing gloomy expressions.Although there is no progress in the situation, the gods said that they would inquire about the information themselves.

　　"About the future... I hope you can go to the dungeon."

　　After Hephaestus and the others returned, Hestia raised this matter with the family members.

　　"We have gradually come to know that the information we can obtain on the surface is limited, and the matter has come to this point, we can only go a little further and go to the dungeon."

　　It has been the sixth day since I met Winnie.Nangong Xiao also planned to go to the place where Winnie was found, that is, the nineteenth floor of the dungeon to find some clues and come back.

　　"As Lily told everyone two days ago, besides Lily and us, there are others who are tracking the information on the "talking monster". The situation is likely to take a turn for the worse... If you want to act, Lily thinks it's best to do it as soon as possible."

　　If this continues, there will be nothing to do, and maybe it will not be able to keep up with the development of the situation.

　　"I'm so sorry for you guys... I also want to know what happened, so please."

　　"dawn........"

　　"It's okay, we'll be back soon."

　　Winnie looked up at Nangong Xiao uneasily.

　　In the end, it was decided that Nangong Xiao and Lily would go to the dungeon.The others stayed at headquarters while taking care of Winnie.

　　The time it takes to get from the surface to here, Lily had predicted that it would take half a day no matter how fast it was, but the result was unexpected.

　　The bark-covered labyrinth feels like exploring the inside of a giant tree.Only then did I see the complex bifurcation of the passage, and there was a vertical tree road that split more than ten meters above my head.Sometimes the stairs are replaced by tree roots that bulge like tumors. The nineteenth floor is not only vast, but also the height difference is more conspicuous than expected.

　　The light source is no longer the familiar phosphorescence of the previous floors, and a large number of luminous moss grows lushly on the ceiling, walls and ground, dazzling like stars.The beautiful green light particles are dreamlike, making people forget that they are in a dungeon.Among the scents of plants floating around, there is the sweet fragrance of flowers that confuse adventurers.

　　In addition to bark and moss, the "Tree Labyrinth" is also full of flowers and plants.Looking up overhead, white flowers are blooming at the junction of the wall and the ceiling. As soon as they turn around the corner of the passage, huge lumps of mushrooms will break into the field of vision.Surprisingly, bringing these back to the surface can almost be used as raw materials for elixir and other props...  

　　Herbs with magical colors, golden flowers and creepers that cover the end of the passage like thorns, and blue pools formed by dripping water droplets from the ceiling... The maze is full of collections that make the pharmacist salivating.
