第十三話 報酬金額
冒険者ギルドに戻った俺は、受付にて
今回の依頼はほくほくであった。
まず、
そして俺の貢献度に対して支払われる額が十万ゴルド。
ここに更に、討伐した魔物の魔石の換金額が乗るのだ。
の報酬が、まずこちらの十三万ゴルドです。それから......ワイトの魔石十体分の買取額として二十万ゴルド......合計、三十三万ゴルドです」
金貨の詰まった袋を見て、俺は心が躍った。
は儲かるもんだな」
「他の奴は、十体もワイトを倒しとらんからであろうに。今回に限れば、儂より稼いでおるぞ」
横についていたゴウタンが、呆れたようにそう言った。
「それから......こちらがグールヘッド......改め、マッドヘッドの魔石の買取額です。六十万ゴルドです」
どんっと、更に大きい貨幣袋が置かれる。
思わず声に出てしまった。
合計でほぼ百万ゴルドである。
〈狂鬼の盾〉の価値も合わせれば、四百万ゴルドだ。
他の冒険者達も、羨ましそうな目で俺の方を見ていた。
報酬額はギルドに預ける手もあったが、ここ都市ロンダルムにいつまで滞在するのかも定かではない。
俺は〈魔法袋〉があるので、こちらに入れておくことにした。
「で、俺はE級冒険者にしてもらえるんだよな?」
金に目が眩んでいたが、それが一番の目的だったのだ。
E級冒険者にさえなってしまえば、〈
「ゴウタンさん、あの......本当にこの人が、ワイトの群れを討伐して、グールヘッドの変異体を倒したんですか......?」
受付嬢が不安げにゴウタンへと問うた。
「そ、そうだよ! そいつ、前にもレベルの高い魔石を持ってきて疑われてた奴じゃねぇか! なんか裏があるんじゃねえのか!」
「防御クラスの重騎士で、どうやってそんな量の魔物を狩るんだよ!」
敵陣飛び込んで、ひたすら防御を固めておけば、初期ではむしろ低レベルの魔物を数狩るのに向いてるんだがな......。
だから〈マジックワールド〉初期では、『雑魚狩りの置き石』だのいわれていたくらいだ。
とにかく重い鎧を装備して、ただ魔物の群れの中で〈城壁返し〉を連打していればいいからだ。
もっとも〈マジックワールド〉では格下相手では取得できる経験値が一気に減少する上に、レベルの高い魔物は見え見えのカウンター狙いに引っ掛からなくなってくるので、発動機会が一気になくなってくる。
ただ、そのことさえこの世界では広まっていないようだ。
〈マジックワールド〉での重騎士は、キャラメイク時のクラス診断でも出現ルートが狭く、攻略サイトを見てから狙って出さなければほぼ出ないような状態になっていた。
運営がそもそも玄人向けキャラとしてデザインしていたようなので、そう考えれば妥当ではあるのだが。
その出現率がこの世界でも反映されているとすれば、重騎士の情報自体が少ないのも必然なのかもしれない。
俺がそんなことを思いながら他の冒険者達を眺めていると、ゴウタンが握り拳を作り、だんっと受付の机を叩いた。
ゴウタンの声に、一気にギルド内が静まり返った。
このギルドにおいてD級冒険者の立場は強い。
ランクの高い冒険者は、ランクの高い魔物に溢れている地へと向かうものだからだ。
ここ都市ロンダルムでいえば、恐らく最上位クラスでC級冒険者だろう。
その後は陰口を叩く者も一気にいなくなり、俺は無事にE級冒険者へと昇格することができた。
【称号〈F級冒険者〉が〈E級冒険者〉へと進化しました。】
よし、これでスキルツリーへの割り振り上限が緩和された。
〉の〈城壁返し〉で金稼ぎをしようかと考えていた。
〈城壁返し〉は最初期を抜けると、一気に発動機会がなくなってくるのだ。
スキル持ちの魔物が増えてくると、防御力で完封できる機会なんてほとんどなくなってくる。
バフ・デバフを駆使して絶好の場面を整えても、そのレベル帯の魔物になってくると賢く、攻撃が通らないと判断すると冷静にバフ・デバフが切れるのを待って、迂闊に飛び込まなくなってくる。
〈ディザーム〉の攻撃力減少効果も持続時間はせいぜい一分なので、基本的に素早さで劣るこちらが効果の重複を狙うのは難しくなってくる。
今〈城壁返し〉を主軸にできているのは、初期のスキルツリーにおける防御力上昇効果と、鎧装備のありがたみが大きいからに他ならない。
技能の書
重騎士が真価を発揮するための最重要アイテムなのだ。
もっとも稀少なアイテムであるため、この街で手に入るのかはかなり怪しいのだが。
まあ、探してみるのはタダである。
Ch 13
After returning to the adventurer's guild, I received the reward money for the Raid at the reception desk.
This quest ended up paying well.
First, the base reward for taking part in the Raid was 30 000 gold.
Next, the sum I got for my contributions was 100 000 gold.
Then above that, the money for the magic stones from the monsters I defeated will be added.
"The reward for this time's Raid comes out to 130 000 gold. Then...200 000 gold for the ten wight magic stones....Which makes the total amount 330 000 gold."
I was excited to see the bag filled with money.
"Wow, Raids are pretty profitable, I guess."
"That's because the other guys didn't take down ten wights by themselves. Due to that, you got more money than even me for this Raid."
Standing next to me, Goutan said in an exasperated voice.
"Furthermore.....this is the price of the magic stone from the Ghoul Head....I mean Mad Head, 600 000 gold."
Another money bag was placed down with a bang.
I reacted aloud without thinking.
Overall, it's almost a million gold.
If I add the value of the Mad Demon Shield's, then it's almost 4 million gold.
The other adventurers were looking at me with envy too.
I could've left the reward money at the Guild, but I won't always be staying in Rondal.
Since I had a magic bag on me, I just put the money in there.
"Then, can you promote me to an E rank adventurer?"
I was distracted by the money, but this was my ultimate goal here.
By becoming an E rank adventurer I will be able to enter the Dungeons.
"Goutan-san, well...did this person really defeat the swarm of wights and bring down a mutated version of a Ghoul Head....?"
The receptionist girl anxiously asked Goutan.
"Tha-that's right! Isn't that the guy that was suspected because he brought in high level magic stones! Ain't there something fishy about him?"
"How could someone with a defensive class like the Heavy Knight defeat that many monsters!"
My Class should be well suited for jumping over the enemy lines and standing my ground in the first place, which makes it easy to kill a large number of lower level monsters....
That's the reason why my Class was frequently called 'handicapped small fry hunter' in [Magic World].
After all you need to do is to have heavy armor equipped, stand in the middle of a group of monsters and keep using [Rampart Reversal].
That being said, in [Magic World] the experience points you get for defeating lower level opponents take a sharp downturn with the level difference, and furthermore, higher level monsters get harder and harder to get a counter on, which severely limits the opportunity to activate [Rampart Reversal].
However, even this seems to be unknown in this world.
Even during the character creation in [Magic World], it was pretty much impossible to even get to select the Heavy Knight Class without looking up a guide on the internet first.
Since the Class was pretty much designed solely for hardcore players by the developers, this was somewhat understandable.
If that low representation rate had an effect on this world, then perhaps not having proper data on the Heavy Knight may be unavoidable.
As I was thinking about all this while keeping my gaze on the adventurers, Goutan clenched his fist and struck the receptionist's desk.
The interior of the Guild went silent from Goutan's words.
In this Guild, the standing of a D rank adventurer is high.
That's because higher ranked adventurers leave for places with higher ranked monsters.
In this city of Rondalm, the highest ranked adventurer was most likely C rank.
After that the people trying to slander me stopped immediately, so I was able to get promoted to E rank.
[(The Title<F rank adventurer>  changed to <E rank adventurer> .)] 
Excellent, with this the allocation limit on the Skill Tree was raised a bit.
I was thinking I should prioritize earning money in a Dungeon with [Rampart Reversal], instead of hunting for levels.
The opportunity to activate [Rampart Reversal] goes away after the early levels.
Once the number of monsters with their own Skills increase, the opportunity to completely block an attack with only my defense stat all but goes away.
Even if you properly use some kind of buffs or debuffs, monsters above a certain level become smart enough to notice if their attacks don't do anything, and instead of heedlessly rushing in, they wait out the duration of the buffs and debuffs.
For example, the effective period of the [Disarm] Skill is not more than a minute, and with my speed disadvantage I don't have much chance of triggering overlapping effects.
The main reason why I can use [Rampart Reversal] right now is thanks to the comparatively significant initial defense bonus provided by my Skill Tree and the defense bonus of my equipped armor.
A Skill Book for the [Smoldering Fang of Madness]....
The most important item needed for the Heavy Knight to show its true worth.
However, with it being a rare item, it's quite unlikely I will be able to get one in this city.
Well, searching for it doesn't cost me anything.
