The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start o

It is superstitious that slime is a miscellaneous fish.

It is a monster that it is difficult to defeat with a weapon unless it is of considerable strength, especially because it is physically resistant.

Nevertheless, as we talked before, for wizards who can use attack magic, slime is a miscellaneous fish.

It's a request from the Wang Du Guard.

Adventurer Guild. The receptionist, Mr. Trupe, explained to me at the desk.

Everything. There's an old age groundwater supply in the basement of this king's capital, and it seems there's a slime gushing there.

The slimes grow when left alone. This is the same thing with rats and such, but the feeding of groundwater slime can be mainly this rat. More and more rats, but more and more slime, so I don't mean the harm of rats in this king's capital, but I don't hear much about it.

but the problem is the slime is better. There are no natural enemies in the basement that eat slime, so if left alone, too many slime will come out on the ground.

The request of the Wang Metropolitan Guard is to go underground and eliminate the slime and reduce the number.

"You're not going to let it all go?

"It's too big an underground water supply area to get rid of."

Crusading increases survival somewhere. It is a dull underground. In the past we tried several times to achieve total control, but we could not wipe it out.

"In the first place, it's slime, so it's not like we should send out a lot of soldiers."

"Sure.... it's not the number of soldiers you need, it's the number of guys who can use attack magic"

And it probably means that it's impossible to get all those wizards together.

"There is no rank designation, but it is a request for a usable adventurer recommendation for attack magic. It's up to the adventurer how much he can earn because the reward will only be added for what he defeats..."

Mr. Tourpe looks sinister.

"It's not very popular, is it, this request? It's dark, and knocking down the slime doesn't leave any material or anything. The only reward is money. They use magic, so they don't feel half as tired when it's over."

"I see. But, well, fine. I'll take it. If I can be a guild, I'll want you to digest it."

"It helps."

"Yeah. By the way, Slime is a monster with no proof left to defeat, but if you're saying the number of crusades changes the reward, how do you determine? Self-declaration?"

"Observers are supposed to accompany us from the Wang Metropolitan Guard to count the crusades."

I mean, there's a watch. Well, that's right. If we allow ourselves to declare, it's not strange to have people unfairly claiming crusade numbers and fraudulently trying to do so.

That's why me and Mr. Bell got a request to crusade the Wangdu Underground Water Supply, Slime.

"Serve as an observer, Captain Powan, nice to meet you, adventurer."

Its commander, who belonged to the Wang Du Defense Corps, was a man in his forties or so who grew a moustache. He has an iron helmet on the chainmail, which is a defensive squad outfit, and a short sword down his hip. In my hand I had a thin sheet of wood and a piece of paper - a record sheet to write down the results of the war.

"And of the watch...... oh, of course it's more of a slime to watch. and Ash and Hans combine escorts and chores."

Warlord Powan referred to two young soldiers. If I nodded, the young soldiers with the lamp in their hands nodded back.

"Well, let's just go underground"

On the street near the royal castle, there are stairs diving underground. Usually closed by iron doors, and the place where the guard soldiers stood, the stone stairway stretched deep underground.

Tips and boot sounds echo the walls and ceiling. We move on with the dull air and some unpleasant smell.

The lead is Ash with a lamp. Next, Sergeant Powan. Me and Mr. Bell. The rear end was Hans still holding the lamp.

"I'll pay for the magic potion here, just let me know if you need it"

"Is it free?

"Oh, for free"

At the request of this hand, equipment and consumables are often of their own accord. As an adventurer, it is gratifying to say that they offer potions free of charge at the Wang Du Defense Corps.

"I think slime extermination is necessary frequently (hiccups), but I don't really have the recipient of the request."

Sergeant Powan smiled bitterly.

"I'd like the wizard to do a little slime extermination, if possible."

"So I paid for the magic potion for free, trying to make it look like a good job"

"Yeah, well, you know what?"

Down the stairs. There was nothing sprinkled about lighting, so only the lights on the lamps held by Ash and Hans were relied upon.... Well, with the magic of lighting, I can illuminate myself, too.

"I want the magic to stay warm if I can. I want you to get rid of more than one slime."

said Sergeant Powan.

"Ash, Hans. Watch out for ceilings, indentations, etc. They're basically ambushing."

It took me a while to start my slime hunt. The sound of the shoe echoes everywhere, relying on the light of the lamp. There are waterways everywhere, and water is flowing.

It's not a sewage facility, so the smell isn't that bad. Sounds like it was made in the old days, but I don't know how long ago that was, Sergeant Powan said.

I walked a few minutes and discovered the first slime. I could see it lit up and it was green...... green slime. It is approximately between 80 cm and 1 meter in size. Sticking to the wall, but in that translucent body, I was in the midst of digesting something rat-like.

Lord Wizard.

"Fireball."

Instead of a short chant, it is omitted. With one word I squeal, the fireballs can play and the green slime is quickly engulfed in flames. When the campfire burned as flashy as red, it did not say no for ten seconds, and the slime burned out.

"... Oh, you've used the magic of flames very easily..."

Sergeant Powan rounded his eyes. The two young soldiers are also patting their eyes.

"Stricter, I thought it was something to cast a spell on..."

"It's a waste of words to cast such a superior spell on a slime opponent."

Come on, let's go next, and if I encourage you, I walked Ash out in the lead again.

I think the next contact is about a minute or two after the first one is destroyed. One green slime...... no I was just about to do a split.

"... fireballs"

Captain Powan said later that my eyes burning the slime seemed to be as untouched as seeing the dust on the side of the road. Well, I don't even think about veterinary extermination.

We went underground, and we, or I kept burning the slime. About twice, the leading soldier was about to be eaten by an ambush of slime, but before that, thanks to Mr. Bell's perception, he was able to dispose of it without being mounted.

Whenever the slime becomes a burning cuss, Captain Powan writes a line indicating the number of crusades on the record. Around 20, he was asked if the magic was okay. It's okay, no problem.

Around 40 +, I was asked if it was time to get tight. Totally fine. Get a magic potion and take that bitter magic restoration pill.... That's not a very good magic potion. It's free stuff, so they're not very good quality. They don't spare a luxury potion. I thought so.

If that's how we went about groundwater, the number of slime crusades exceeded 120. When I drank the third magic potion, Sergeant Powan said.

"Sorry, that would be the last magic potion I've brought..."

"So, do you want to go back"

"Let's do that."

As a result, the number of slime crusades exceeded 150. Sergeant Powan laughs bitterly.

"No, that's amazing. You are. I've been accompanying and observing this slime crusade for a long time, but I've never seen a wizard wipe out so many slimes alone."

"Really?

"How much magic do you have?

He used the magic of fire only in the number of defeats. I don't really know because I've never been compared to anyone else, so I usually asked him how much he crusades.

"Ten to twenty for less. Five or sixty at most. By the way, the highest record you ever updated was a hundred."

"Just a hundred?

"Yes, a hundred. Already the wizard is willing to go up to three digits in any case while being a helo. When he defeated 100 slimes, he lost his mind... and struggled to carry it out. That's why the team that accompanies us has become a threesome. To carry the wizard when he falls."

I kind of felt history. You're struggling. I didn't know an accompanying soldier who thought he was an enemy and a lighter included such a job.

"I got rid of it a lot, but there's going to be more of this again. I guess it has to stay this way for the slime to be eradicated from this groundwater supply..."

That's what Sergeant Powan casually said, sighing.

Note that there are 151 slime crusades this time. The amount of the reward was 1812 Gerd.

Work on one gold coin, eight silver coins and twelve copper coins.

... 151 is also a slime down and less than two heads of greywolf. Well, sometimes Wolf hunting is challenging and has higher reward settings.

I guess it's a calculation of 12 gelds per slime. If this was the 10 or 20 crusades of the lowest line that Sergeant Powan had said, the reward would be between 120 and 240 Gerd. If I were a magician with low magic power, I would only make enough money to not buy one magic potion......

I didn't know it was an unpopular request.
