Chapter 70. Magatia Rescue Squad (1)
One.
“Recruiting adventurers to conquer the Mystic Gate!”
The era of Mystic Gate conquest has returned!
In that hot era that made even adventurers with 5th circles or higher stand up from their heavy butts, Maple World was enjoying unprecedented prosperity.
There were no exceptions.
Wherever adventurers went, their enthusiasm and stories of adventure overflowed.
Among them, there were two places that were the most prosperous.
One of them was, of course, Henesys Market, where adventurers flocked with items they acquired from beyond the Mystic Gate.
Even adventurers who had no interest in the subject flock to the Henesys Market after hearing rumors about it!
“A magnifying glass is enough!”
And the other place was none other than Magatia, the city of alchemists who created the magnifying glass that created this era.
As it turns out, the demand for magnifying glasses was crazy.
First of all, the adventurers weren’t stupid.
They had no intention of attacking just one Mystic Gate. Rather than just one, they wanted to attack the one with the most merit after checking dozens or hundreds of Mystic Gates.
That means you’ll be using hundreds of magnifying glasses in one attack!
Moreover, there were no adventurers who only bought enough to use immediately.
“How is the price of magnifying glasses these days?”
“The prices are crazy.”
“how much?”
“10,000 mesos each.”
“crazy!”
“But now is the cheapest time.”
“10,000 mesos per unit is cheap? Are you crazy? Hey, you have to use a hundred at a time! Is 1 million mesos child’s play?”
“Think about it. Production is fixed, but the top brass is hoarding like crazy right now. Do you think the price will stay like this?”
“ah!”
“For us, buying now is a profitable business. Even if we resell it, it’s profitable! That’s why buying now is profitable!”
Demand exploded as expectations of rising prices led to hoarding.
That wasn’t all.
“The potion prices are crazy too?”
“Apart from the fact that it’s crazy, there’s no quantity. It’s a mess.”
“If you think of it as the price of life, there’s no way the potion would be expensive.”
“The 5th Circle adventurers are going crazy trying to save us.”
“Well, the value of those gentlemen’s lives is on a different level.”
As the number of Mystic Gate raids increased, the amount of potions consumed also naturally increased rapidly.
In many ways, for the alchemists of Magatia, a series of days began where they were not even allowed time to sleep.
Of course everyone enjoyed those days.
“The mesos are pouring down, pouring down!”
“I made more money this month than I have in my entire life!”
Because the more you save sleep, the thicker your safe becomes.
This is the greatest boom in Magatia’s history.
“I don’t know if this is a dream or reality.”
The alchemists were beside themselves with excitement over the boom.
“huh?”
But something appeared that put an end to that boom.
“What is that?”
Oh my!
“What is that guy? Is he drunk?”
Oh my!
“Huh? Huh? This is, uh, a zombie!”
2.
“So you’re saying zombies appeared in Magatia?”
“yes.”
The moment she heard the information the adventurer brought, Helena’s expression hardened more seriously than ever.
The same was true for El Palm.
‘Zombies in Magatia, that’s the worst combination.’
El Palm’s colleagues, on the other hand, were not.
“Hey boss.”
On the contrary, they were questionable.
“But aren’t you still a zombie?”
The appearance of zombies meant that the door to the Mystic Gate had opened, which was clearly dangerous.
“Isn’t it sufficiently subduable?”
But at El Palm Party, zombies could be dealt with with ease.
No, it wasn’t something that the El Palm Party would do.
This was a problem that could be resolved quickly and cleanly by sending just a few hundred adventurers from the 5th Circle.

“There’s no way that zombie is just a zombie.”
“yes?”
El Palm told us about it.
“If they were just zombies, the adventurers residing in Magatia or the warriors of Ariant would have taken care of them.”
“then?”
“It’s most likely a coolie zombie.”
And the moment they heard those words, El Palm’s colleagues’ expressions also hardened.
Okay, I got it.
“What if it’s a coolie zombie? No way?”
“Yeah, that’s where Richie comes in.”
For the Coolie Zombie to appear, it needs nothing more than a Lich, that monster.
That was a very serious problem.
First of all, Lich himself was a very strong monster.
There, the strength of the coolie zombies was on a different level from that of regular zombies.
Moreover, Magatia was a place where countless people lived. What if they became coolie zombies?
The problems didn’t end there.
“Divo, do you know Magatia’s laboratory?”
“Of course, I know. I had a really hard time there. If it weren’t for the boss, I would have died several times.”
“Then how many adventurers do you think died there?”
“Huh? That’s… … Ah!”
There were more corpses of adventurers in Magatia’s laboratory than adventurers would have thought.
And most of those bodies were never properly recovered.
It didn’t end there.
“In a normal forest, the corpses would have been eaten by monsters or rotted away. However, the Magatia Research Institute is different. There are virtually no monsters that eat corpses there. In particular, the android monsters have no interest in corpses at all.”
The corpses in the Magatia Research Institute were very likely to be in better condition than those in other places.
That means that countless corpses of adventurers in the Magatia Research Institute will turn into coolie zombies!
‘oh my god.’
The moment they heard that story, everyone could fully imagine how hell Magatia had become.
The story did not end there.
“What happened after the zombies appeared?”
“There has been no news. However, it has been determined that most of them are still trapped in Magatia.”
That the escape attempt has failed.
“A few adventurers have entered Magatia, but there has been no news. More importantly, it is the Nihal Desert.”
Crucially, the place where Magatia was located was the huge desert of Nihal.
“It is very difficult to send additional adventurers.”
The Nihal Desert is a place where even the most adventurous people risk their lives just moving from city to city!
Since it was Maple Union, it was the first to learn of this news, but it would take a few days for most people to learn of this news.
This means that it will take a long time to rescue the rescue team.
And as time went on, the number of coolie zombies was sure to increase even further.
So that was the problem.
‘It’s a race against time.’
In order to save Umar, Magatia’s alchemists, adventurers, and citizens, we must move faster than anything else.
At that point, El Palm and Helena’s eyes met.
“We will go.”
“What do you need?”
El Palm said in response to Helena’s question that followed.
“We need an airship. An airship that can reach Magatia as quickly as possible.”
Helena’s expression hardened at that request.
It wasn’t because there was no unfairness.
It’s true that the airship was a very expensive item, but if Helena made a move, renting the airship wouldn’t be a problem.
The problem is that it’s a race against time.
It took way too long to get to Magatia by normal air travel.
If there were to be two fast airships, there would be two.
The airship of the Phantom Thief and the airship of the Signus Knights.
But it was impossible to borrow both of them now.
“It’s slow due to unfairness.”
El Palm Party’s expression hardened at Helena’s subsequent answer.
I couldn’t take a boat because the ferry was slow, because the ship was much slower.
Then there was virtually no way.
Because there was a sea between Victoria Island and the Nihal Desert where the Ariant Kingdom was located.
Here Helena recalled.
“I have something to replace it with. Something that can get you to Magatia as quickly as possible under the current circumstances.”
“What is that?”
“Pilot Irvin, he’s here.”
3.
‘Pilot Irvin?’
Helena, when she said there was a way, all the colleagues at El Palm thought:
‘I don’t know who it is, but it seems like it’s someone with something like the Phantom Thief’s Airship.’
Something like the Phantom Thief’s Unfair Crystal Garden will appear.
So I was looking forward to it.
Because the crystal garden they experienced was a shock in itself.
“Are you the adventurers Helena spoke of?”
That’s why.
“My name is Ervin.”
Pilot Ervin, the moment he saw the old man, El Palm Party was shocked.
“Hey, Irvin, what’s that behind me?”
“This? It’s an airplane.”
That was understandable, as the wooden plane behind pilot Irvin was so crude that it looked like it would break at any moment.
“Are you sure you’re not going to ride that?”
So, El Palm’s colleagues asked a question just in case.
Maybe they are mistaken.
“Of course. Then what were you planning to ride?”
But what was before their eyes was reality.
“Excuse me, boss. Are you sure you want to ride this?”
At that point, El Palm’s colleagues looked at El Palm and held onto their last hope.
I hope that any sensible person wouldn’t ride this.
Of course, El Palm was not a man of common sense.
He didn’t even see the plane.
“Mr. Irvin.”
I was just asking the pilot, Irvin, a question.
“How long do you think it will take to get to Magatia?”
“It will take only one day.”
The moment they heard that explanation, El Palm’s colleagues became even more terrified.
From here, you can roughly estimate the distance to Magatia.
But you can get there in one day?
It was an even more chilling story.
“Good.”
But El Palm was different.
“Hey, boss! Okay, just a sec.”
At that point, Debo caught El Palm.
“I ask again, are you sure you want to ride this?”
“Every minute counts. There’s no reason to hesitate when we can reach Magatia in one day.”
“But, no matter how much I think about it, I feel like I’m going to die on the way there.”
The answer to that question came from pilot Irvin.
“I think so too. I’ve never flown that far before.”
Everyone’s faces turned pale at the explanation that followed.
I have experienced all kinds of hardships and adversities so far, and have been prepared for many different types of death.
But with that determination, I didn’t end up falling to my death while flying in the sky on that flimsy wooden airplane.
“That will be fine. Trust me. I used to be an air force officer in Edelstein.”
Despite the explanation that followed, El Palm’s colleagues’ faith was not very great.
Of course, they had no choice.
Because there was only one person who had a choice.
“So when are you leaving?”
El Palm answered Pilot Irvin’s words.
“When can you leave?”
“Well, you can do it whenever you want. It’s not unfair.”
And in response to the words that followed, El Palm nodded and said.
“That’s great. Then is it possible right now?”
“Of course, right away… … Huh? What? I think I misheard. Could you say that again?”
“It is exactly as you heard. Can you leave right now?”
At that question, Pilot Ervin looked at his colleagues at El Palm with a dumbfounded expression, and his colleagues responded with expressions in response to his gaze.
This is our boss.
Pilot Irvin stuck out his tongue at that fact.
“You guys have had a hard time too. Well, okay. Let’s go right away.”
4.
The moment El Palm Party left, Helena said to her subordinates:
“Tail to the El Palm Party.”
To track them down.
“yes?”
The adventurer was surprised by that fact.
Because that meaning was never a good one.
“Everything.”
It means doubting the El Palm Party.
It was a difficult thing to understand from an adventurer’s perspective.
You are capturing the Demon King Balrog, and this time, you are carrying out a very important task, but do you have any doubts?
If you have any doubts, wouldn’t it be common sense not to entrust such work to someone?
Helena also knew that her behavior was strange.
Besides, she had no intention of doubting El Palm Party.
If it weren’t for that letter.
‘Mercedes said.’
Mercedes, one of the six heroes and none other!
She said.
‘Keep an eye on the El Palm Party.’
To monitor everything about El Palm Party on his behalf.
Once those words were out, there were no exceptions.
I don’t care about personal thoughts on El Palm. I just mobilize everything to keep an eye on it.
And she thought that was no problem.
She is Helena, one of those who lead the Adventurer’s Association.
Because it was impossible to escape her eyes like that.
“Hey, over there, Helena!”
I definitely thought so.
“Uh, we’re having trouble monitoring the El Palm Party.”
“What’s the problem?”
“El Palm Party has left for Magatia.”
“Yes? Didn’t you guide Pilot Irvin a little while ago? Wasn’t that only an hour ago?”
“… … We left 30 minutes ago.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Until you experience the real El Palm Party.
