Parr is huge and bizarre.

Its head resembles a Venus flytrap and its jagged leaves resemble lips.

The body itself consists of a green stem that is repeatedly tangled together. So, if it moves to the left or right, it may crawl like a snake.

Devoured Ed in one go.

"Summon Ed!" Conou shouted calmly.

He had seen the eaten Ed reappear in front of him.

"Thank you, Mr. Conou!"

"You can't even dodge that?"

Cono has been working hard

“...”

Eder had nothing to say.

Conou was right, and due to his carelessness, he failed to dodge the attack.

Then, the shadows covered Conou and Eder again.

With the prey escaping, Parr rushes at Con'ou and Eder again.

"Move!"

Con'ou and Eder run in opposite directions.

Parr moved the liana's body and aimed at Ed, spreading the saw-shaped leaves.

Ed shook himself off.

Parr kept his mouth shut.

Edel narrowly escaped Parr's attack.

At that moment, Conou attacked Parr's body.

Pare!

。

His demonic sword cleaved the green stem.

Parr then turned his head and launched an attack on Conou.

"Wow!"

Conou decided to attack, not dodge, and then swung his sword at will.

Whenever his sword splits in the air, he cuts through Parr's stem or leaf.

Still, Parr didn't back down. It pushed its head forward hard.

But it's not the right choice.

As soon as he saw the living room open his mouth, he took Edo's position.

He wielded his sword from top to bottom.

Storm Tiger!

A golden tiger swooped out of his sword.

The golden aura of the tiger entered Parr's open "mouth".

Prosperity!

"Oh. ”

Conou opened his eyes slightly.

After damaging Parr, black fragments exploded everywhere.

His Demon Sword's special ability, Fang's Blade, has activated a skill.

Parr, who had suffered great damage, became confused.

ah

The tiger's aura is followed by the blow of the wind whip.

At the same time, Wu An attacked the wound caused by the slash.

Bang!

As soon as his blade comes into contact, the wound explodes into red shards.

Ed has been attacking what is believed to be Parr's "tail" area.

Be!

He strikes with heavy blows and then continues to hit hard in the same injured area.

Over and over again, he continues to strike in the same area!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

By the time Parr regained its bearings, its HP had sunk and could not recover or turn the battle around.

In the end, Parr died.

[You defeated the artificial life form, Parr.] ]

Ed mechanically picked up the junk item and handed it to Conou. It is a red flower, like a morning glory.

However...

"Hu?"

His hyper-instinct exploded at the sight of him. There's a secret behind this flower!

"Information. ”

He quickly checked the item's information

[Human Flower]

Artificial flowers created by the alchemist Kudar. It is used as a material in various alchemical processes.

Material Grade: Grade B

There is no particular detail in the information on the project.

"Hmm. ”

Kang Ou looked at the lotus flower.

"What's wrong? is there anything special about this?" Ed asked.

"Yes. When I took a look, my ultra-instinct suddenly exploded," Conou said.

"Oh, finally!"

After finally finding the clue, Edel had a happy expression.

"But I don't know where to use it. ”

"Shall I take a look?"

"Forward. ”

Kang Ou sent him the Flower of Benevolence. Ed also looked at the flowers.

"It's not like a sunflower, pointing in a particular direction ... I don't think there's any special magic in there... It is a flower, so it should be related to the language of flowers. ”

"Hmm. The Language of Flowers...... Let's see if there is any meaning behind the Renje flower. ”

But according to the information of the item, the "Flower of Benevolence" was artificially created by Kudar, so what is the point of it?

At that moment, Ed heard Con'ou say the name of the flower, and then retorted, "Did you say Renji?"

"Yes. Renji flowers. Have you heard of it before?"

"Ryoji is the name of Kudar's wife," Eder said. It is said that when he proposed, he gave her a very special flower as a gift. It seems that this is the flower. ”

Then, he added unnecessary content.

"As Kudar expected...... What a romantic guy. ”

Conou completely ignored Eder's final statement.

"Then the hidden dungeon can be hidden in the place where he is connected to his wife," Conou said. ”

"Yes. That's possible. But where would that be?"

"Who knows? First, let's search the rest of the buildings. Something should pop up on the road. ”

"Good. ”

Con'ou retrieved the Inje flower from Eder and carefully placed it in the inventory. They then began to browse every corner of Building 7 again.

As they make their way through the building, they encounter the plant monster Galud, and a fight breaks out between the three of them.

Not only is Gaylord's body very tough, but his attack power is no joke.

However, Conou and Eder don't have to worry about anything. They were able to dismantle it effortlessly.

"Oh, over there. ”

Ed pointed to the side. There, another Renji flower is in full bloom.

Conou went to pick it.

But...

[Chinese herb picking is required.] ]

"Ahh ”

Kang'ou can't pluck the Renji flower because he doesn't have the skills to pick grass.

But Ed did.

More specifically, Ed possessed a body (Arummod's body) that did not have the skills to pick herbs. Neither did his old skeleton.

But Ed tells him that his raw body has the skills of a master picker.

"If you have a primitive body, then we can get it. ”

Con'ou looked disappointed.

"If my body was old, then I wouldn't be with you now," Ed said firmly.

He used to be a famous healer, so he would never get involved with Conou.

"Yes. By the way, what the hell are you hinting at?"

Con frowned.

"I've made two mistakes in my life. One mistake is to insult God, and the other is to sign a contract with you," Eder said with a laugh.

This is both a fact and a lie.

"Do you want to die?" said Conou with a smile.

"Do what you want. ”

Ed shrugged, his body language reflecting the truth of his statement.

"I see. ”

Cono pushed his sword forward. He doesn't think he will?

"Wait a minute! Now I think about it, signing a contract with you is the best decision of my life!"

Edel quickly changed his tone, and Conou withdrew his sword.

"Let's stop the game and move on. ”

"Okay. ”

Con'ou and Eder pass Inje Flower.

Soon after...

They have completed the exploration of Building 7.

"It's fine," Conou said.

He couldn't find the secret area.

"At least you managed to pick the flowers. ”

At the very least, he got the Inje flower from Building 7, which gave him the first clue.

Cono nodded.

"Let's search for other buildings, and if we can't find anything, then we'll collect as many human flowers as we can. ”

He didn't know what would happen if he collected more than a certain number of Renji flowers. After all, when he collected the required number of agate crystals, a raid commando boss was born.

As a result, Cono has collected more than a dozen.

"Good. ”

"Next up is Building 5. ”

Conou and Eder leave Building 7 and head to the nearest Building 5.

The artificial tiger known as Mujos appeared in Building 5.

Mujos has strange eyes and is bigger than an ordinary tiger about level 120.

Whew!

Tiger, green left eye and golden right eye roaring.

It's nothing compared to Baramte.

Conou recalled it when he heard Baramut's roar.

Balamte, King of the Jungle!

Balamut is much stronger and bigger than the tiger.

Ever since he killed Balamut, it seems that Muhe is nothing more than a harmless cat.

Ed also doesn't like the superba very much.

What does it feel like when a baseball player is facing a 160-kilometer ball flying towards them and then facing a 140-kilometer ball?

"Shhh

Conou approached the tiger unconcernedly.

Clang. Clang.

Ed confidently tapped his shield with his hammer.

Yes!

The tiger wields its fangs and attacks Conou.

"Of course, let's play. ”

Conou hid, attacking again and again.

Ed is also constantly attacking his own camp.

Soon after, Muhe's head fell to the floor.

[You defeated the artificial life form, Mu Lotus.] ]

"It's weak. ”

"Definitely. ”

Conou and Eder's idea about the tiger came from Balamut. Therefore, they naturally feel that the superba is weak.

The two collected the junk items and began to explore Building 5 again.

They searched every room and made sure there were no hidden devices on the floor or ceiling. The two even inspected wall-mounted decorations, furniture, display shelves, as well as paper on the floor.

However, all they found was Mujos.

Conou and Eder handled Mujos with ease and left Building 5.

They went to Building 8.

"Is this the last one??" said Conou, looking at the building in front of him.

Before them was the largest building here.

"It looks like a temple," Ed said. ”

Building 8 does resemble a gladiator arena.

"Yes, you're right. ”

Conou knew the original Colosseum, so the building reminded him of a gymnasium, not a white one.

Anyway, Conou and Ed entered Building 8.

There were four monkeys, and Khonsi roamed in them.

As they went deeper inside, they saw the various artificial life forms they had encountered so far: Gabriel, Nurams, Horned Ants, Parles, etc.

"Is this a bazaar of artificial life forms or what?" Ed asked.

"Yes. ”

Cono nodded.

There are no new artificial life forms in Building 8. Instead, all the monsters that appear in Buildings 1 through 7 appear here.

Maybe that's why this place has such interesting features.

Is that...

"Hu?"

Ed pointed to the side.

An ant-horned ant and a champion are pitting each other against each other.

"Why are they fighting each other?"

"Kudar established this place as an ecosystem, so they are fighting for their lives here. ”

Kudar created several artificial life forms for further research.

If so, then he must have wondered what would happen if they were all gathered in one place.

He had to create Building 8 to satisfy his curiosity.

"Wow. He was indeed an amazing alchemist. It's huge. ”

Ed was in awe.

"That's why it's very likely to hide something here, because that looks like he's working harder," Conou said. ”

Several dungeon hunters are like Con'ou and have searched every corner of the place over time.

Of course, no one has yet discovered that this place has hidden dungeons or secrets.

"I'm not like them......" Conou muttered as he thought of the dungeon hunters who were trying to search the building.

While they don't have super instincts, Cono does. That's the absolute difference between them.

"Let's go. ”

Cono confidently walked over.

If there's something here, then he'll find it!

But soon after...

"There's nothing here!"

Even Conou couldn't find something that wasn't there in the first place.

Building 8 doesn't have anything either!

"Hmm. Are we going to collect as many ninja flowers as we can?"

Conou still has something he wants to try. It's too early to give up.

"Mr. Con'ou. ”

At that moment, Ed called out to Naoto Kan with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you feel any weird?"

"What are you talking about?"

"There are a lot of buildings here, but the most important ones are missing. ”

"What's that?"

"A house! Kudar's house is not here. ”

"House, hehe......"

Conou fell into deep thought. Think about it, there's no room to rest in the lab.

All buildings are research facilities or buildings designed to oversee artificial life forms.

That doesn't make any sense.

In Arth, the characters have their own lives and personalities. Kuda is one of these NPC members, so he must have had his own life.

But the buildings here are only about his "work", not about his "life" or "rest".

"Not only that, but Kudar loved his wife deeply," said Ed. However, there are hardly any objects, memories or photos of his wife. At best, there are only Renji flowers. ”

He's right.

The reason why there's nothing about her here is...

"They had to set up a separate space for themselves," Conou said. That private area must be Kuda's house. ”

"Quite possibly. ”

Ed nodded.

"Where do you think his house is?"

"I'm not sure. ”

"Well, definitely not here. ”

If it's hiding somewhere here, then he'll be able to find it.

"Hmm. ”

Eder recalled what he had read about Kudar. Unfortunately, there is no mention of his house in the book.

The same goes for Cono

"Let's go back to Myron. We need more information. ”

Myron is the city where Kudar was born. There must be some clues there that will help them find Kudar's house.

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea. ”

Throughout the city of Myron, there are bronze statues that pay homage to the great alchemist Kudar.
