Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

However, when he was at the door just now, Shirou Emiya seemed to have overheard something about dungeons and adventurers.

It seems like you can earn rewards by going on adventures.

This should be similar to the cases I accepted when I became an armed detective.

If it were like when I was a detective, I could earn a lot of money with just a little time.

It sounds like a good job.

Shirou Emiya was pondering this when a gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

Is there some difficulty?

The girl seemed to be quite kind-hearted, as if she had noticed that Shirou Emiya originally wanted to go in, and asked him a question.

However, that's not actually the case.

Generally speaking, those who are active in taverns are mostly large clans or guilds, or experienced adventurers with many years of experience.

Adventurers who have just joined a clan, or newcomers, rarely choose to come to the tavern.

Their goal was naturally to get those novice adventurers to relax and come to their tavern to spend money.

Simply put, it's about expanding your customer base.

Emiya Shirou looks like a novice adventurer. Once a novice adventurer gets familiar with the place, he will naturally become a regular customer.

Occasionally, they would pass on some basic experience to new adventurers, partly in the hope that they wouldn't die, even though they were not related by blood, it was still a human life.

On the other hand, if those new adventurers survive, the tavern's business will naturally benefit.

Of course, the second one is the real focus for them.

"without----"

Emiya Shirou shook his head, but then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Do you know which way to go in the dungeon?

After all, he was unfamiliar with the area, and it would take him a lot of effort to find the so-called underground city on his own.

"Eh--!"

Emiya Shirou could clearly hear the sigh coming from her lips.

"You're a new adventurer, aren't you—?"

Although the statement is somewhat questionable, the tone is undoubtedly affirmative.

Emiya Shirou is only 16 years old. Even though he appears more mature than others, he looks like an ordinary high school student.

In addition, Shirou Emiya was dressed in an outfit that was completely out of character for an adventurer.

She almost immediately realized that Shirou Emiya was a novice adventurer.

It should be noted that almost all adventurers, even those who have reached a high level of strength, are basically fully armed.

Weapons were also carried with them.

Emiya Shirou simply draped a red cape over his black shirt, which was both strange and surprising, highlighting his recklessness.

Wearing such simple clothes, they dared to go to that hellish underground city that devours people without spitting out bones.

All we can say is that his courage is commendable.

"Uh-huh!"

Emiya Shirou hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

Contrary to what the waitress might have imagined, Shirou Emiya was not hiding the fact that he was a newcomer.

Rather, he wanted to hide the fact that he was not an adventurer at all.

"See that towering building? That's the Tower of Babel. The underground city lies beneath it, but I suggest you go to the guild headquarters over there and ask around before deciding to set off—"

"Ryu—!"

Shouts came from inside the tavern.

"Remember to ask about the situation before deciding to set off!"

After saying the last sentence, the girl immediately turned around and walked away.

Although her voice sounds very gentle, she looks like an ice queen just by looking at her appearance.

"Thanks--!"

Emiya Shirou quickly thanked the girl.

How could they possibly remind every single new adventurer who passes through here every day?

Moreover, the new adventurers generally wouldn't listen to what they said.

So why would they do something like offering their warm welcome only to be met with indifference?

If Shirou Emiya were willing to pay, she might explain it even further.

After all, he was quite polite, and his interactions with him were more comfortable than with many adventurers.

They were more concerned about the tavern's business than about those reckless new adventurers who wouldn't listen to reason.

Although I wasn't that concerned.

However, she had already said everything she needed to say to the novice adventurer. These matters should have been explained to them by the High God. Even if the High God did not have time, it should have been explained to them by the leader of the clan or other members.

If it is a smaller clan, then its new members should also go to the guild headquarters to inquire about the details.

However, many reckless new adventurers still venture into the dungeon and are brutally murdered.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some clans are not good clans at all.

Not all gods in this world will guide their own followers.

Not all gods are benevolent towards humanity or any living being in this world.

Just as Hephaestus said, most gods prioritize their own entertainment, even if it results in countless casualties and unspeakable losses.

Chapter 425 Dungeon

Labyrinth City, Orario.

That is the name of the city.

This city existed long before the gods descended, and it continues to exist to this day.

And it is the only labyrinth city in this world.

Only in this city is there an underground city, and it is precisely because of this that it has become a city that is like the center of the world.

Countless adventurers are drawn to Orario and come to this city.

Adventurers are practically everywhere in this city.

The city is surrounded by high city walls, with tall towers and high-rise buildings on the periphery.

The closer you get to the central area, the lower the building height tends to be.

In front of Shirou Emiya, in the heart of this incredibly vast city, stood a massive tower that reached the sky, its entire body a white-gray color.

This is the Tower of Babel that the girl pointed to when she pointed to Shirou Emiya.

Although Shirou Emiya saw the towering tower that reached into the clouds as soon as he stepped out.

But he didn't know what this tower was.

It wasn't until I learned about it from the guild that I realized the so-called dungeon was located beneath the Tower of Babel.

Emiya Shirou spent a long time in the guild and began to learn more about the dungeon.

After all, this is a major feature of this city, and even a characteristic of the world.

Although these adventurers seem to have no fear of dungeons, believing them to be a good place to make a fortune.

But according to the staff of those guilds, they have also been having a headache over this issue.

Dungeons are truly places that can devour adventurers.

They also rarely see an adventurer willing to listen to the staff and hear everything the adventurers don't want to hear.

He also meticulously explained the history of the dungeon to Shirou Emiya.

Many adventurers are unaware of these things.

But it's not because they're secret; it's just that adventurers simply don't care about these records.

Therefore, most adventurers are not familiar with the history of dungeons.

The dungeon is the only place in this world that can produce a species called monsters.

Before the gods descended, those who had not received divine favor were unable to subdue the monsters within the underground labyrinth.

They recklessly invaded the land, and everyone lived a life of misery.

It wasn't until the arrival of all living beings, who bestowed blessings upon people, enabling them to gain experience points by slaying monsters in a very short time, achieve great deeds, and grow rapidly, that the monsters were finally suppressed.

But it only suppresses them; the monsters in the dungeon are endless, and there's simply no way to kill them all.

So, in order to live a peaceful life and to avoid being disturbed by dungeon monsters.

And so the Tower of Babel was built, erected above the entrance to the underground city.

Although it was built, such a skyscraper that soars into the clouds would probably be difficult to achieve by human power alone.

It's like saying all roads lead to Rome.

The Tower of Babel is located in the very center of Orario, with eight main streets radiating outwards from it.

You could say that no matter where you are in Orario, as long as you follow the main road, you will be able to reach the Tower of Babel.

Although Shirou Emiya learned so much, the guild stopped him from going to the dungeon.

The reason for this is that Shirou Emiya is not an adventurer at all.

All adventurers are required to register with a guild.
