Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 23 Ore Labyrinth

The three slaves safely arrived at their destination, the Labyrinth.

It was a bit far from the city, but it didn’t take too long since we took a carriage.

In front of the labyrinth, Alexia opened her mouth.

“I feel depressed.”

“Is that so? It doesn’t sound like a difficult maze.”

It was a maze with a high attack rate, so the map was more precise.

As Az looked at it and put it together, he replied to Alexia.

“I mean pretending to be an adventurer here.”

Alexia puts her weight on her battle axe.

She has no motivation.

“It’s not imitation, it’s because you’re an adventurer.”

Elsa said that and opened the entrance to her labyrinth.

Az followed suit, and Alexia reluctantly followed.

“I am an old nobleman. I’m not the kind of person to do something like this.”

“I’ve heard that a few times already. Okay, try some light magic.”

Alexia answered yes ~ yes ~, in a half-hearted way, and illuminated her surroundings with light magic.

“Magic is convenient. It’s so nice not to have a torch.”

“You mean my magic is instead of a torch? I am.”

At Az’s words, Alexia let her shoulders droop.

As directed, the road continued for a while.

A lizard the size of a dog appeared along the way, but Azu cut it, Elza trampled it, or Alexia set it on fire and cut it.

“It’s easy….”

“Sure. It’s on the first floor, and there’s nothing to gain, so let’s go down quickly.”

It went smoothly.

In the second floor, lizards that ate iron and changed appeared, but I defeated them as they were except for Azu.

Ajman’s number of attacks has increased slightly.

Alexia said that she had her magic even for Az, but she still lacked the ability to use the Bongsword Grungauss, she said. She

When she can use this sword, she says she doesn’t need a second sword.

She found a treasure chest, but it contained only iron ore.

The owner said she didn’t need the iron ore, so she decided to leave it alone.

It was a strict order to fill it with silver ore rather than pick up iron ore.

Alexia didn’t look tired, probably because she had experience in marching training as a knight. But she seemed stressed out.

The only reason she followed Azu’s words was because she judged that the two of them would lose by majority vote.

Following someone else’s order itself would be dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, her stress was relieved by the monster. Azu was a little conscious and went ahead.

Then she got to the third floor.

After the railroad lizard, the copper lizard and the silver lizard appeared.

The copper lizard is fragile. Starting from the 3rd floor, you can get copper ore from treasure chests or lizards, but the payoff is not good for its weight. It had to be retrieved as much as it was commissioned.

“I think there are non-returned adventurers on the 4th floor.”

Arzu stopped for a moment and opened her request book and map.

“How do you know?”

“The adventurer tag is responding.”

“What, you can even figure out the location. And they say that being an adventurer is a free job.”

Alexia grew dissatisfied with Arzu’s answer.

“I heard that you can’t see our tags without the owner’s permission.”

“Then you can see that man. He must be watching to make sure he’s functioning properly anyway?”

“Okay. You seem to be just working hard.”

Elsa smiled bitterly.

There are few adventurers worth watching in the first place.

Used only when there are such non-returned adventurers.

Alexia glared at the bracelet and adventurer tag, which were the tokens of slavery, with an annoyed expression.

“Let’s go quickly. I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

“I agree with that. A little further up the stairs will come out.”

When I started on the road again, three gold lizards were hovering around the treasure chest.

“That… Sounds like a nice treasure chest.”

“What should I do?”

“Well, it is no different from other lizards.”

Alexia strengthened her magic by gathering magic into the red brooch.

After she enhanced her fire magic, she cast it all on the gold lizard.

The gold lizard was burned with intense fire, leaving only gold.

“That’s great, Mr. Alexia.”

“Of course. This brooch is a good catalyst.”

As Azu clapped involuntarily, Alexia felt a little better.

She was incredibly powerful.

This is definitely the necessary power.

Az was fed up with Alexia for complaining about her the whole time, but changed her mind.

If Az and Elza apply, we will be able to achieve good results.

Retrieve the remaining gold (it was hot, so I cooled it down with water).

You opened the treasure chest.

There were no traps.

This time, the owner gave me a ring to detect traps, so I opened it with confidence.

There was a silver ingot inside.

The refined silver shone beautifully.

I wonder why refined silver ingots came out of the treasure chest.

I put it in my backpack and headed down the stairs.

The characteristic of this labyrinth is that the more you pick up good ore, the more lizards flock to it. Arzu and the others are full of strength, so they can recover their power while earning money, but the other party’s skills aren’t that great.

The three of them’s luggage has increased moderately.

After walking all over the 4th floor and almost no lizards appearing, I found an empty bag.

They probably ran away and dumped their belongings here. The contents were eaten by the lizard monster here.

‘I’ll just have to go upstairs,’ thought Azu, but there were also her bloodstains.

Looks like you’re hurt.

The back is a dead end.

As Azu and the others went inside, they could feel the presence of people.

Arzu approached holding a sword and examined the situation.

There was a boy and a girl who had fallen down.

The information in the request is exactly the same.

He looked weak, but he was still breathing.

As Elsa used the miracle of recovery, her complexion improved.

The boy woke up after we gave him a drink of water and waited while he was taking a break.

“This is….”

“Are you awake?”

The boy hurriedly raised his sword and turned to Az.

After I explained the situation, I regained my composure.

After that, the girl also opened her eyes.

She says the girl hurt her leg and she had no choice but to hide in a dead end.

It seems that he has almost recovered after giving him food and Elsa healing him.

Alexia took surprisingly good care of her children.

In her request, she got the boy’s autograph and she took her to the stairs to the third floor.

I could have waited until Azu and the others cleared the labyrinth, but I wanted the boy to return quickly.

The boy was a warrior and the girl a mage.

As long as you avoid battle, there should be no problem.

The two continued to say thanks and went up the stairs.

Azu and the others moved to the 5th floor.

… The air has changed a bit.

The walls of the labyrinth have changed from simple rocks to black ore.

From now on, large lizards that ate ore will appear.

It is said that lizards that eat black ore are stronger than other lizards.

I heard it contains some Damascus ore.

It is said that the ratio is so low that there is no margin even after refining.
