59 - The Lost City of Baron

The temple of the labyrinthine city of Barron is transferred.

Now that you are registered, you can use magic to move next time. I am glad that 40,000 shillings is a lot of money.

The temple in the labyrinth city looks more rugged than the other temples, as if it were hewn out of stone and piled up as it is. They do not have windows for lighting like the temples we visited in Fast and Isle. The ceiling is high and as wide as the large masonry, so that candles on the walls are not enough to provide light, and it is dark even in the daytime.

The hall of worship, which is surrounded by statues of deities, was lit by a red bonfire with a statue of Asha, the fire god of war and rebirth, in front of the entrance from the corridor. As the labyrinthine city is naturally full of adventurers, Asha is probably the most revered of them all.

We buy candles sold at the entrance of the shrine for the number of statues of the god and offer them at the foot of the statues.

I don't stop to pray at each of them, but considering the source of the candles, I think I should buy at least the minimum number of candles. The temples in the labyrinthine cities are not necessarily built by orphans.

The candle is lit from a candle that someone has offered first, and the candle is placed at the foot of the statue of the god. It was when I offered a candle to the statue of Asha.

I looked up and saw the great man in bikini in front of me.

He wasn't here a moment ago, was he?

The light from the bonfire and the candles brightened only there, while other places were rather dark, but I could clearly see the face that was supposed to cast shadows. Not only the face, but also the beauty of the magnificent reddish-bronze body can be seen. He is even taller than Galahad. And boomerang pants that look familiar.

Yes, macho is macho, but not in the bodybuilder kind of way, but in the practical kind of way. And well balanced...what you would get if you added a swimmer's muscles.

But but!　I don't care if it's a work of art, I have no taste for looking at moving pantyhose muscles!

Do you think I'm encountering too many pantyhose?　Is it my imagination?　It's Leo's fault!

With my mind still in a state of shock, I turn my eyes away from the man in the pantyhose and try to turn my body to quietly exit the hall of worship.

"Hey, human!

I was doing my best to pretend not to see him, but he was talking to me!

"I'm against perverts!"

He says nothing and runs for the exit. I do my best, but for some reason I can't seem to get any closer to the exit.

"Who's a pervert?"

They grab me by the clothes between my shoulder blades and lift me up. The pervert has me!

I don't feel any tugging from being hung up, more like being floated.

I am Asha, God of Fire, and I have a question for you.

He was a god, even though he was a pervert.

"Put some clothes on for now. I have no taste for one-on-one encounters with naked men. And it's usually perverted to show up in front of someone you don't know with your panties on."

"MU......"

My appeal seemed to have gone through, and Asha put on a robe. I'm glad we could communicate.

Well, I'm wearing pantyhose underneath.

"What on earth does Asha, god of fire, want to ask me?"

"You know Phal, god of water, don't you?"

Then he turns his red eyes on me.

"I have met Faru, the god of water, at the Fountain and he has given me his blessing."

I almost called her a sorry goddess.

"Fal is obsessed with your nakedness."

I crumpled to the floor with a headache, a fact that was both surprising and predictable.

"Oh, you didn't give up yet, did you?

"Well, I don't mind if Phal wants to see a man's body, as he always does.

Get ready!　Remedy!"

"The question is, why is he so obsessed with you? I have more muscle than you. Why does Fal want to see you naked?　What's the difference?　Take it off!"

"I'm not taking it off!　Why do you care what Falu likes?"

"I want to be obsessed with Phal too."

...... Is there romantic feelings among the gods?

"Maybe the reason you were naked earlier is because you're always dressed like that to show Far ......?"

"Yes."

"............"

"At first, though, he was happy to touch my pecs and stuff."

I have a bit of a headache again. That's a good expression to use at a time like this, I have a headache. I don't like to use it.

"I think the only reason I got attached to you was because you didn't take your clothes off."

"You didn't take off your clothes in front of Fal?"

"I don't take my clothes off. I think you want to see them because they are hidden, and I think you should usually keep them hidden. If you want to show it, show your collarbone or your breast a little."

I almost say "thighs," but then I realize it's a woman in a skirt. In Asha's current attire, her legs would be visible.

"Hmmm, come to think of it, you're pretty well dressed, aren't you?

No, I think robes and coats are common attire for adventurers. Is it because of the collar?　Why am I preaching about chirality with God?

I think it is better to have underwear or bare skin that can be seen at any moment than to have an overtly s*xual approach.

I want to see it all in the end. I want to be the only one who sees it. I don't just want to look at it, I want to touch it. ...... No, I don't care what my proclivities are.

Asha tries to practice how to do it naturally, I wish she would go back and do it in front of the mirror.

"Hmm, I'll do that."

"You have a well-proportioned body and muscles, and I'm sure Fal will want to see you when you're properly dressed. Finally, Fal will undress you."

I think there is something wrong with the sentence, but I think it's okay if I'm starting to throw it out there.

"Thank you for your help. In return, I give you my blessing and something useful for you."

Asha is in a good mood. She politely left with a bottle of sake as a souvenir. Please don't ask me for love advice.

I got the title [Asha's Blessing].

[fire magic] changed to [fire magic].

I got the title [Asha's Glimmering Instructor].

Skill [Burning Magic] has been acquired.

was acquired.

Wait .

What's the flicker instruction?

Where am I going?

[Asha's flirtatious instructor]

A title obtained by consulting with Asha Hijigami.

I encounter glimpses and glimpses of a woman.

Sometimes a lucky break?

If you have Fal's Blessing or higher, your likability will increase.

A correction is added.

Reading the description made me want to get down on the floor again.

What do the gods want with me?

As I stood there feeling indescribable, I received a clan conversation from Ochazuke, who had moved to the other side of the room, asking where I was. I tell him in simple terms that I am moving to the exit of the temple and start walking.

The clan conversation is left on, so everyone knows that we have all been transferred. The reason for their presence is that all three of them were worried about Shin and Leo's money and were waiting for them to come to the fast gate. As it turned out, their worries were right on target.

It seems that Ochazuke has lent them the sills for the transfer, since they all want to see the new field together.

The labyrinth of the labyrinth city has only one official entrance.

Sometimes the floor structure changes, and the enemies are basically the same, but the previous map becomes useless. The only thing that remains the same is the boss floor. In each room where the boss is defeated, there is a rest point set up by the previous adventurers, and you can return to the entrance of the labyrinth by transferring.

Once you have activated a rest area, you can transfer from the entrance to the rest area. The route branches off at each level, and no one has reached the lowest level yet.

Even if the level is the same, the difficulty level may vary depending on the route. The current record is up to the 64th level <. However, the actual record is up to the 60th level, which is the result of avoiding enemies by hiding and so on.

In addition, <> and <> exist in the deeper levels. The <> and <> are routes that were discovered as a result of an oracle, and no one has actually confirmed their existence.

This is what Eagle, who was a bit suspicious to be called tipsy, told me after Galahad got drunk, while Camilla was tangling with him.

"It is said that the timing of the labyrinth changes depending on the number of people who have reached that level, or that there is no other rule, but there are certain conditions under which the labyrinth always changes. That is to try to set up a permanent resting place other than the boss's room. Therefore, you should not easily set up permanent wards."

Those that expire in a few hours seem to be OK. But first, of course, you must have wards. I wonder if I should go to the magical city of Isle to learn warding.

I remember thinking that as I listened to the conversation.

I noticed that Ochazuke was waving at me at the entrance of the temple.

"Sorry, did I keep you waiting?"

"You were praying again, weren't you?"

"Mm."

"Oh, by the way, I finally got a star!"

"Oh, good for you!"

Shin has finally solved the riddle of the temple. I don't think it took him that long, though, since he wasn't totally devoted to it.

We went out of the temple to the Adventurers' Guild.

The entrance to the labyrinth is located at the end of the city, on a cliff with a bare rock face. It is surrounded by high walls, and the front gate is not opened except when there is a great strike by the state or guild, and the only way to enter the walls is through the Adventurers' Guild building on the left or the knights' quarters on the right.

Usually, a city develops around a castle or a temple, but in this case, the labyrinth is the center of the city.

The adventurers' guilds, temples, inns, armorers, apothecaries, etc. are gathered at the entrance of the labyrinth. The closer to the entrance of the labyrinth, the older the shops are.

However, the ones that started their business in the early days, although they are old establishments, their stores are too small to accommodate the many adventurers who visit them nowadays, and they have opened branches in the new town, which was built outside the walls of the old town and has a wider area. The stores in the old town deal with special customers and special products.

The old town is called the first quarter and the new town is called the second quarter, and it is said that it is a kind of status to have a store or live in the old town. I was wondering why they had to go to all the trouble of crowding together in such a small area, but I was convinced that the first area looked more quaint and nice.

Narrow alleys are fun to walk through.

"Shall we take a rest at the inn?"

"Ah, I don't know how long it will take, so I'll reset it once."

"So, no."

"It's kind of halfway through the day, but let's make adjustments.

"Oh. I had to go to the bathroom.　I've never heard an alarm before!"

"Hey!　I'm not about to let you force me to do that.

Get the hell out of here!

In the meantime, you have five minutes in the real world before you are forced to log out.

If you do not log out voluntarily and safely within the 40 minutes or so in our time, you will be dropped without question, even if you are in combat.

In order to log Leo out, he rushes to the inn in the first quarter, takes a room, and logs out.

It is a waste of an old, quaint, and quite nice inn.

The <> is a white mask that covers the upper half of the face, and as you look at it, you can see flickers on the surface that seem to reflect flames, and sometimes white flames emerge from the mask and disperse. It is not hot, but it is a little startling.

The special effects are disorientation, inspiration and exaltation of oneself and one's comrades in battle, and awe of enemies. STR, VIT, and AGI of you and your companions are increased by 3%, and STR, MID, and DEX of your enemies are decreased by 3%, overlapping with the effects of other skills and meals of the same type.

The mask is not considered to be the same person as before, regardless of whether the user hears voices or sees half of the face. The person is recognized as the same person either by putting on and taking off the mask in front of you, or by saying his/her own name while wearing the mask.

Asha said something useful to me.

This means I am to wear the mask when I am solo!
