Therefore, he couldn't help but become interested in the animal that supposedly lived there.

"If it happens to be the Monster Boss, then ......"

Conou's lips twitched.

If it's a monster boss, then it probably has a lot of treasure or drops some great items. It would be a nice bonus!

"Are we going to the Grancia Forest?"

"No, you go to the Altan Central Library and read about the Glancian Forest and this mysterious creature," said Conou. ”。

"Me?"

"Who else?"

"Last time we..."

When they gathered information about Kudar, Conou helped. Why did he insist that Ed do all the research himself?

"I have something to do, so I'll start gathering some information first. When I'm done, I'll go with you. "I'm not asking you to find any amazing clues or anything, so don't worry," Conou coaxed him.

"I understand. ”

Ed struggled towards the Altan Central Library.

Conou went the other way. Soon after, he came to the auction house.

He sat down on a comfortable couch and opened the auction interface.

"Shurak's heart sold for 200 gold coins. ”

He set the starting price at 100 gold, so he got twice as much as the auction price.

Conou collected the money and inspected his other lots.

Someone made a bid for Schulak's cold-bearing blades for 1212 gold. There is still some time after the auction is over, and it would be nice if it could go up a little more

Because this knife requires equally high physical and magical attributes, it is expected to be less popular.

"So now..."

Cono took a closer look at what people were selling.

Normally, he would just figure out the market price and leave, but today was different.

"I'm looking for cheap BB corps level or higher projects with the ability to junk!"

He doesn't need to worry about the capabilities of weapons. After all, he will use them as fodder for gluttony.

Instead, he worries about the grade of the goods, the grade restrictions, and the price.

Kangou carefully screened these projects.

Soon after, he bought two things.

Cursed Death Patch, Level 150 Requirement, BB Company Grade. The fixed price is 139 gold

The gray blindfold is only worth 139 gold! It has the title "Cursed", so equipping it will reduce your stats.

"Corsican Unnecessary Big Stick, Level 130 Requirements, BB Company Level. The fixed price is 125 gold

The stick is really unnecessarily big, and there is nothing capable of it. Despite this, it's still a BB company level, purely because of its magical attack power.

"Phew. My baby money. ”

When Conou hid the device in his inventory, he had a look of regret.

So far, he has been saving money, so he didn't buy much from the auction house. However, he doesn't have any equipment and he can use gluttony, so he is forced to buy some gold.

"Odd. Let's compensate for the damage. ”

Cono leaves the auction house and heads to the Adventurers' Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is full of players looking for adventure or hunting quests.

Cono is looking for Jace, an experienced adventurer who is currently sending out a quest to another player.

"Good luck, rookie. ”

"Understood. ”

"What's next... Ah, wait a minute. ”

He was about to say "next", but recognized Conou and came over.

"Hello. ”

Conou smiled politely.

"Oh, it's you," Jace greeted him happily.

"You're tall today, too!"

Cono gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, thank you. ”

[Intimacy with veteran adventurer Jace has increased.] ]

Even the slightest flattery would increase his intimacy with Jace, perhaps because his intimacy was already high.

"And what are you doing here today?"

"Do you know about the Grancia Forest?"

"Let's go to the underground rest area and talk. ”

"Okay. ”

The two walked to the lounge area and sat down in a hard chair.

"What do you want to know about the Grancia Forest?" asked Jace.

"Old man Tino told me that there is a mysterious life form in the Grancia forest. ”

"A mysterious life form that lives in the forests of Grancia..."

Jace was lost in thought. Con waited quietly, not pestering him.

"There must be ... Some rumors. "There's another adventurer who saw it too," Jace nodded.

"I'm not sure what I'll learn, but it looks like I will. ”

Conou's eyes sparkled.

"Who's that adventurer?"

"Well, the adventurer's name is... And what is ... Ahh

Jace patted him on the knee.

"The adventurer's name is Andrea. ”

"Andrea?"

It was the first time he had heard the name.

"The Altan Central Library may have a diary she left behind. ”

[You've got information about the adventurer, Andrea.] ]

"Do you have any other information about the mysterious creatures?" asked Conou.

"Other than that, no, not really. ”

Jace shook his head.

Well, I guess I should take a look at Andrea's adventure diary first

Conou hopes that her diary will contain some important clues or information.

"Do you have a mission related to the Grancia Forest?"

"Give it to me if you want. ”

"There are a lot of people who come here looking for tasks, so I don't have a mission at the moment. ”

"I don't think it can be helped. ”

"The Grancia Forest isn't a very popular hunting ground, but there are several quests there?"

Kang Ou was a little hesitant, but decided not to think about it for the time being.

Anyway, thank you for the information

Conou lowered his head.

"Haha. I've always had high hopes for you. Have a great adventure. ”

"Yes. ”

Con'ou leaves the Adventurers' Guild and immediately heads to the Altan Central Library.

"I'm looking for Andrea's diary," Conou said to the librarian.

"Please wait. ”

The librarian left her station and, when she returned, returned with a thick notebook.

That's Andrea's diary.

"You can give it back to me when you're done. ”

She handed him the diary of her adventures.

"Thank you. ”

Conou took the diary and went to the place where he had last read with Eder.

Ed was flipping through books in the same place.

Scratch.

Hearing the sound of a chair mopping the floor, Edel looked up at Conou.

"You're here?"

"Yes. Did you find anything useful?"

Ed shook his head.

"I didn't find anything special. ”

"Hmm. Keep looking. I'll double-check. ”

Conou shook his diary.

"What's that?"

"It's the diary of an explorer who sees mysterious life forms," Conou explained briefly.

Edel nodded, returning his attention to the book he had been reading.

Let's see here...

Con Ou opened the journal and began to read it carefully.

Rustling. Rustling. Rustling.

If he hadn't seen any reports about the Grancia Forest, he would have skipped the page.

Then, his hand stopped flipping through the pages.

He finally found the part that talks about the mysterious organism.

"I saw something strange in the Grancia Forest. It was a white-haired monkey. But when it senses that someone is staring at it, it becomes invisible. I see it a lot, but I find that when I close my eyes and reopen them, it's gone

This is all written in Andrea's diary.

"A white monkey that can be invisible..."

Conou also read the second half of the magazine.

It describes in detail how Andrei lured the monkey and captured it in several ways.

She had tried food, dyes, and even various kinds of detection and perception magic.

However, all her efforts were in vain, as she was said to have failed to catch the invisible white monkey.

"Eder, look at this. ”

Conou handed him a journal and opened it on the page about the Glancian Forest.

Edel quickly sifted through the material.

"A white monkey that can be invisible..."

"How advanced is invisible magic?" asked Conou.

"It is believed that invisible magic that cannot be discovered through a person's senses, perceptual magic, or skills does not exist. ”

"If you read the next page, you'll see that Andre used all sorts of perceptual magic to find it, but none of them worked. ”

"Are you saying that this monkey can use the perfect invisibility spell?" Eder asked in a slightly surprised voice.

"I don't know. But I know this monkey is very difficult to catch.

Edel nodded.

"And what are you going to do?"

"Let's take a look. ”

He needed to see if it was still there, and if it was, to see how powerful it was first-hand.

"Whatever you want. ”

After all, Ed is related to him, so he must obey any decisions Con'ou makes.

Scratch.

Conou pushed his chair out and stood up. Catch time by the forelock. In other words, go to the Grancia Forest right away.

The two returned the book to the librarian and left the Altan Central Library.

Conou came to the entrance to the Glancian Forest, but felt as if something had fallen.

Five team members blocked the entrance in the middle of the game.

"What is this?" Edel whispered, feeling like something was falling out.

"I don't know. Let's go. ”

As soon as they approached, they were greeted by someone who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"Hello. ”

"Hello. What's wrong?" asked Conou.

"We are part of the Asta Association. ”

Asta Guild...

Conou had heard of this guild before. It's an old, mainstay guild, but it doesn't have a great reputation.

"And then?"

His voice was a bit high-pitched. He hated it when these guild members behaved like them.

The man's face stiffened briefly, but then returned to normal.

"Every year, our entire guild goes on a massive monster hunt. This year, we decided to hunt monsters in the Grancia Forest. ”

"Really?"

"Can you go somewhere else?"

"Huh. Arrest these guys

Conou's eyes sparkled.

The goal of the Asta Guild is not an annual event, but something else.

Probably the same as Conou's.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then go inside. But please don't get in the way of our guild members. "Please," the man said kindly.

"Of course," Con'ou replied, and then entered the Grancia Forest with Eder.

"Follow them," the man said to his mancubic-wearing subordinate.

His men nodded and walked into the forest.

The man opened a message window and sent a message to the vice-captain of the Asta association.

- Sir, there are two new ones that have entered the forest.
