Infinite Gacha - Chapter 40

The capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom is located from the center of the country to the west.

It was built too far to the west because if it were too far to the east, it would be too close to the United Beastmen Nation.

Although the Dwarf Kingdom is located to the west, it has the advantage of not having to worry about invasion because it is surrounded by basic mountains and virgin forests.

In the depths of the primeval forest, a "mysterious giant tower" appeared with an earthquake in the middle of the night.

From the top of the tallest spire in the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom, on a clear day, the spire of the "Mysterious Tower" is so large that it is faintly visible.

If only the location were right, it would have been one of the major tourist attractions.

But of course, such an unintelligible giant structure would cause problems.

First of all, the appearance of the "Mysterious Tower" caused the monsters that normally reside deep in the primeval forest to move to shallower areas. As if pushed out of the forest, the monsters that had been in the shallow part of the forest began to appear on the roads.

When a large number of monsters appear on the roads, logistics is naturally interrupted.

Straight down south from the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom, there is the sea and a developed port city.

Salt is produced along the coast, and trade is conducted with the Dragonute Empire, the Dwarf Kingdom, the Demon Nation, and the United Beastmen Nation at the port city.

Monsters have appeared on the roads connecting the port cities, blocking logistics.

Naturally, prices in the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom soared.

If we were to use a Japanese analogy, it would be like pirates appearing in the sea lanes and starting to interfere. If this were to happen, crude oil would stop, gasoline, foodstuffs, industrial products, etc. would stagnate, prices would rise, and exports would stagnate.

To put it mildly, this would be a national crisis, a matter of life and death.

The problem is not just that monsters have overflowed onto the streets.

We need to investigate the "mysterious giant tower" that has suddenly appeared.

It is believed that the "mysterious giant tower" appeared in the middle of the night with an earthquake, and no one in government would leave it unattended.

However, at present, the Knights are busy ensuring the safety of the area between the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom and the port city.

The White Order is the nation's largest military force.

It cannot be moved lightly.

Therefore, adventurers are currently being introduced to play the role of pawns.

However, the situation is not so good.

The monsters that have emerged from the depths of the city do not want to return to where they came from.

At first, it was assumed that because the "Mysterious Tower" appeared with the earthquake, the monsters from the depths would flee to the streets in surprise, but that they would soon return to their original location.

Nevertheless, the days passed and they did not return.

Furthermore, a group of adventurers who went to investigate the "Mysterious Giant Tower" were half destroyed. The survivors testified that they had been attacked by a huge four-legged monster with a snake tail, something they had never seen in the forest before.

Apparently, the monster, which was stronger than the one in the deep forest, suddenly appeared and rampaged about, refusing to return to its former location.

If the "giant four-legged beast with a snake tail" had emerged from the "mysterious tower," it would have been ....... This is not the only mysterious monster.

Monsters with the power to inflict greater damage on the Queen Elf Kingdom could also emerge.

However, not a single adventurer has been able to approach the "Mystery Tower," and not a single piece of information has come in.

--The following is the latest information on the "Mystery Tower.

"Are you kidding me ......, I have to go here ......?"

Sasha used her contacts as the adopted daughter of a count to obtain the latest information about the "mysterious giant tower.

Suspected as a candidate for "Master," she was taken in and investigated. As a result, he is found to be innocent, but just in case, Wright, who was supposed to have been killed, is still alive.

Furthermore, "I'll wait for you at the giant tower. He also left behind a piece of paper saying, "Wait at the Giant Tower, Light.

If the paper is to be believed, she must go to the "Mysterious Tower," where no adventurers have yet reached, and where suspicious monsters are stirring.

The monsters in the deep forest are around level 150 to 200, I believe. If only one or two such monsters were left, most of them would not return and would remain in the shallow part of the forest. How high level are those 'giant four-legged beasts with snakes in their tails'!"

Sasha herself is around level 500.

She has no problem dealing with one or two level 150-200 monsters. However, there are naturally many of them and some of them try to push through with their sheer numbers.

Such monsters never returned to the depths of the forest.

It would be suicide to head for the "mysterious giant tower" without proper information.

If we were to honestly confess the current situation here at ....... Then that human (inferior species) will surely be taken care of."

However, in that case, Sasha would likely be ruined.

She may once again be disrespected by her stepmother and half-sisters, kicked out of her adopted aunt's house, and forced to return to the adventuring business with debts to pay.

Ugh!"

Sasha's pride at the mere thought of it was unbearable, and she felt sick and reflexively suppressed her mouth.

No, no, no, no!　If I'm going to fall and live my life being disrespected by them, I'd rather die!"

The pride characteristic of the elven species gets in the way.

Sasha's dark circles have darkened from lack of sleep, her skin is rough, and her hair has lost its luster.

I don't know if they'll believe me if I tell them that the lights are alive," she says. I don't even know if he is really in the 'mysterious tower. There is no way I can tell Mikael-sama or the country with such vague information!　That's right!　I have to be sure first!"

The sinking feeling from lack of sleep gradually became more and more intense as positive words were uttered.

Sasha's eyes were a little crazy as she mumbled out a plan to get to the "Mysterious Tower.

Anyway, I'd be willing to plunk down the rest of my fee in full if I had to hire a skilled adventurer as escort and decoy. Then, we need to gather as much information as possible about the 'mysterious giant tower.

Even though he is corrupt, he is a former member of the "Gathering of Tribes," a well-known party in the vicinity of the "Abyss.

They mobilized all their funds, connections, and knowledge to make the best preparations.
