The city of Ibro has four gates: north, south, east and west.

When the sky starts to shine, the gate opens, and when the sun sets and the afterglow disappears, the gate closes.

The reason why the exact time is not set is because visibility is more important than time, and it is said that when the light becomes too bright to notice the approach of an external enemy, the gate is closed.

In recent years, the number of large monsters around Ibro seems to have decreased, and there is no need to worry about attacks from other countries, but this practice continues just in case.

So, what happens if you can't get to Ibro before the gates close?

As the shops outside the gate prospered and expanded in size, new walls were built and the city expanded.

The largest gate of Ibro is the South Gate, which faces the royal capital.

Many travelers pass through the South Gate, so there will be a line waiting to open the door before dawn.

All three gates, except for the south gate, are connected to a road that leads to a mountain village like Azca, so there are few people waiting in line to open the door.

Two days after destroying the Guild's Shooting Range's target, I will head to the West Gate before dawn.

The president's ruling was to suspend the punishment and instead require him to accompany an escort request.

The content of the escort is to escort the craftsmen of the pottery workshop during the excavation and during the work, and it appears that the D-class team is in charge.

It seems that the level of the guild team is the level of the majority of members.

For example, a team of 2 B-level adventurers and 3 C-level adventurers is C-level, and a team of 3 B-level adventurers and 2 C-level adventurers is B-level.

Although it also depends on the content of the escort request, it seems that only D-rank teams with more than 3 members will be accepted.

It's simply a matter of troops, and a team smaller than this will decide not to serve as a guard.

This escort request will be handled by a team of 2 D-class and 1 E-class, which is the minimum number of teams that can accept an escort request.

Since it meets the criteria, the guild can't refuse orders, but in case of an emergency, and I'm worried about the lack of strength, so I guess they'll accompany them as a backup.

Since we still had time to leave the base before the gate opened, the carriage that escorted us to the pottery workshop to the west gate did not arrive, but the three adventurers were ready and waiting.

"Good morning, I'm Hua Wuming, I'll go with you today."

"Ah, you!"

"Bellucci, do you know him?"

"Look, I told you, I was at the shooting range the day before yesterday"

One of the D-class squads that came with the request was a canine adventurer who practiced archery at the shooting range the other day.

"Let me introduce you again, we are the trackers of the D-class team, I am the captain and shield Karot, the spear messenger is Frach, and the bow messenger is Bellucci."

All three trackers are canine people, and the lead Carlot, who has short black hair, is about 170 centimeters tall, and has a muscular build.

Frach has long, chocolate-colored hair tied back at the back of his head, and although he is about the same height as Carrot, he looks well-proportioned and agile.

With white-brown hair, Bellucci was the shortest and most delicate of the three.

"Even so, he's about 160 centimeters tall and I'm about 90 centimeters, so I can only look up at him."

All three are 18 years old and are childhood sweethearts born in Ibro.

All of them were dressed in leather armor with daggers around their waists, ready to fight.

It's very different from me when I go on an outing in cargo shorts, a regular button-down shirt, and a backpack.

I can probably equip full armor at any time, which is much stronger than the leather armor of the three of us, but I think it's a bit of a shame.

"Is it true that the tank belongs to the C class?

"Do you just treat C-Class Bode as a child?"

"That's why I'm telling you, to calmly unleash a huge amount of magic."

When I revealed my affiliation and rank, I was surrounded and bombarded with all sorts of issues.

I was able to answer the question of whether it was about the members of the chariot or about the crusade, but when I was overwhelmed by Miss Layla and Shure's questions, the carriage from the pottery workshop came at the right time.

The carriage was a covered carriage with two horses on it, and the canopy was dyed with a coat of arms imitating a pot and the letters of the pottery workshop Keyraft.

Holding the reins was a craftsman-like cowman, and a bear man and a rider dismounted from the carriage, seeming to be his colleague.

"This is Ybor from the pottery workshop Keyraft. The bear man is Wardal and the rider is Naebro. ”

"Good morning. I'm Carrot the Stalker. Vlach was the gunner, Bellucci was the archer, and Hua Wuming was an observer of the guild. "

"Please don't ask."

"Yes, thank you!"

The three people in the pottery workshop are all in their late 20s and early 30s, all of them are about 180 centimeters tall and strong.

"Maybe it's because they're using their power for their work, but to be honest, I can't help but think about which one to protect."

The confused expression on Ibor's face was probably because he couldn't bear to ask if he was okay.

It took about two hours by carriage to reach the quarry, so Ibor took the reins and set off with Carlot, who was sitting next to him.

Vlach and Bellucci were behind the carriage, keeping an eye on the rear, left and right sides.

According to Miss Jessica, this was the first time the tracker had been escorted, and all three looked very nervous.

Vaudal and Nabuero sat behind the coachman, with their backs to the side of the carrier, so they could face each other, while I sat next to Vaudal, but they were both confused by how I looked.

After the carriage had left the West Gate and continued on for some time, Nabuelo asked, as if he could not stand it anymore.

"You're Hua Wuming, aren't you? What are you doing here? ”

"Yes, I'm like a reserve."

"Reserves?"

"The guild told us not to interfere until the three trackers are out of control."

According to the guild's specific instructions, it is said that 7 or more goblins and kobolds, as well as 2 or more orcs can be monitored without interference.

Of course, if the situation deteriorates, such as if someone is injured or incapacitated, they will also be told to go to the rescue.

"I see, how many orcs can Hua Wuming deal with alone?"

"Before, I conquered three at once, but now I think I can deal with about five, no problem."

"Uh, it's an orc, not a goblin."

"Yes, it's about orcs."

Nabuelo probably didn't think the reserves would be of much use, since they were all cat people.

"He probably didn't expect that he would calmly reply that he could deal with five orcs."

"This request is for our guards, so even if an orc appears, I hope you can drive it away, not conquer it, okay?"

"No problem, demons are afraid of fire, I'll roast it a little."

I made a small fire-type magic tool with sky-type magic with my hands and lit it up like fire-type magic, and Nabuelo seemed to be finally convinced.

"Because there are trees around the mine, beware of fires."

"Understood. It's not a conquest, it's just a threat, so just focus on the area around your face and you should be fine. "

"I see, so that we can concentrate on our work without worry."

"What kind of place is a quarry?"

"The quarry is located halfway up the Helio Pass and has access to high-quality clay."

The quarry was jointly managed by Ibro's pottery and construction companies, and the road leading from the highway to the quarry was also jointly financed.

"You can't dig up the dirt there without permission, can you?"

"It's a joint management of us, and it would be problematic to dig it up at will, but since it's owned by the lord in the first place, strictly speaking, we can't claim ownership."

"For example, if I want to start renovating a house and want to use the soil from the quarry, where should I apply?"

"If you ask the industrial and commercial banks and they will tell you, they will give you a license based on the amount of mining, not a royalty.

Nabuelo showed me today's mining license.

It seems that if you have this permit, you don't have to complain even if you dig in the quarry.

"Eh, are you digging so much?"

"Ah, we can't work without soil."

The permit that Nabuelo showed me had a number in tons, but I couldn't believe it was a hand-finished quantity by three artisans.

The request is to return to Ibro before the end of the day, but will this really end?

"Hehe, well, you see, we can't subdue monsters, but we're good at dealing with dirt."

Hearing Nabuelo's confident words, Vodar nodded.

"In that case, let's see how things go."
