Chapter 7 VS Ogre! ~The Gap Between the Winner and Loser~

In the end, I arrived at the territory of Count Belche in the evening, and after showing my guild card, I was able to enter the castle town without being asked anything in particular.

There was still some time before the gate closed, so I was a little happy that I got there earlier than I expected.

For the time being, I took an inn that was obviously high-class (they took 7 silver coins), found a place with no people, and started dismantling the monsters I killed.

The amount was so great that I only dismantled goblins (magic stones and left ears), slimes (magic stones), and kobolds (magic stones and left ears).

The area went completely dark, so I had no choice but to dismantle the orcs another time.

As for the monster corpses that have been dismantled, let’s throw them away in the mountains tomorrow.

No matter how large my item box is, if I treat it as a trash can, it might be full and unusable when I need it.

I have something to do tomorrow, so I replenished my potions and water, and then quickly returned to the inn and finished my meal and bath.

The places I will go through are dangerous that even adventurers will be reluctant to go, so I need to raise the level of enchantment as much as possible and put powerful enchantments on my equipment!

I raised my enchantment to level 8 while fighting sleepiness, and enchanted a new mithril sword, knife, and other equipment.

I stored the ones I had been using until today in my item box as spares.

I can’t enchant the same equipment twice, so I have to be really careful about when to enchant them.

This morning, too, I left the town as soon as the gate opened.

Even if I run as fast as I could, it would take me more than a day to reach the town ruled by Count Morbitz.

And since there are places where powerful monsters appear, I intend to take moderate breaks and go without overdoing it.

I ran slower than usual, had a light lunch at a place with a good view, and plunged into the first danger zone, the <Ogre Forest>, where I encountered an ogre every few minutes.

In terms of skill level, we should be evenly matched, but thanks to the enchanted equipment I worked so hard to enchant last night, I can fight with ease!

I can fight easily because ogres are monsters that act alone, but if I were to be surrounded by several of them at this level, I’m not sure I can win even with my enchanted equipment….

After defeating about 100 ogres, I exited the Ogre Forest.

I used potions on the way to recover moderately, but… I’m already exhausted mentally.

After running for a while in search of a place to rest, I found an open space where adventurers were resting.

I will enter the next danger zone soon, so let’s camp out here today.

…… When I was resting, a group of seriously injured adventurers came.

「Please! Does anybody have ex potions!? Please share some with us! I will pay you back no matter what! …… Please! I will do anything!」

One of the men shouted so, but no one responded.

…… Well, that’s natural.

Ex potions are a luxury item, not many people have them, and there’s no way anyone would give them to someone who can’t even pay right away.

「Here you go.」

When I appraised the adventurers around me, none of them had criminal-like skills, and since they are not hostile, I think the probability of me being attacked for money is low.

From what I saw, there were three seriously injured people who need ex potion, so I gave them three ex potions.

The man who was shouting is making the seriously injured people drink ex potions.

…… I can see that the wounds are healing at an amazing rate.

So this is the effect of ex potion….

I had never been seriously wounded at a level that would require an ex potion before, including in training and mock battles, so I think it’s a good thing that I was able to confirm the effect.

After the seriously injured men were fully recovered, their group came approached me.

「Thank you, you’re a lifesaver! We’re the C rank party, 『Dragon’s Tears』, and I’m Alexander. …… I’m sorry, but we only have several silver coins right now. Do you have anything you want from us? As promised, I will do anything. If you want money, I will even sell myself to pay you back….」

「「「「Hey!? Aniki!?」」」」

(TLn: Aniki means older brother. Usually used to call seniors in a group of yakuza, gangs, or something like that. Google for more details.)

They are a C rank party, huh?

…… It might be rude to say this, but that’s surprising.

When I appraise them, there is one B rank, five C ranks, and three D ranks.

Certainly, if you take the average, a C rank party would be suitable.

The reason why I was surprised was probably because there was a large difference in their ability within the party, and my attention was focused on the D-rank men who were covered in blood.

The men who were seriously wounded are all D rank, and the man who’s talking to me is B rank, probably the leader of this party
