Eina's surprise was not without reason.
Space-related magic is extremely rare, not to mention the special function of storing items.
No one in Orario has ever heard of anyone possessing such magic. If the Goddess Loki were to find out, she would probably snatch him away immediately, right?
Eina knew that the last time the Loki Familia went on an expedition, they failed because of logistical problems that prevented them from bringing too many spare weapons. In the end, due to the wear and tear on the weapons, they couldn't continue fighting and had to abandon the expedition.
As long as the Loki Familia can find a person with space storage magic, they will most likely open a new level during the expedition.
"What a pity..."
It's a pity that Link, who possesses such rare magic, chose Hestia, who had nothing.
Of course, it's not surprising that Eina thought that. She didn't know what happened between Link and Loki when they were on the street earlier. Because she looked down on him, there would be times when they would regret it later.
Seeing so many magic stones in front of her, Eina calmed down, put on a serious face, and looked at Link earnestly.
"Mr. Link, since this is such an important skill, why are you still showing it off in front of me? You should keep it a secret! The right approach is to return to your family first, divide the magic stones into batches, and then send them over to sell so you don't have to worry about exposure?" Eina's expression was quite serious. Of course, it's not that Link doesn't know that method, but going to the guild in batches to sell it might, let alone the problem, raise the suspicions of others.
A newcomer who visits the guild frequently and sells a large amount of magic stones and materials in batches will also attract the attention of others. It would be better to inform Eina.
Being known by one person is preferable to being doubted by most people.
"Miss Eina, what I want to sell isn't just magic stones. If it were only magic stones, I could ask my Goddess to help me conceal them. However, what I acquired in the dungeon isn't limited to magic stones."
"Drop items?"
Eina naturally understood what Link meant. However, the probability of monsters dropping items is very low. If he sells just one or two pieces, they shouldn't suspect him, right?
Just as Eina was confused, Link raised his hand and snapped his fingers again. Soon, a metallic sound resonated in the room, and many materials dropped by the monsters suddenly fell to the ground.
There were goblin fangs and kobold claws. This large volume of items, along with the magic stones from before, almost filled the entire room.
"A lot!?"
Eina was taken aback by the sheer quantity of the dropped materials.
She turned her head stiffly to look at Link: "L-Lin… Mr. Link, are these… all dropped items?"
Link nodded helplessly.
After confirming this, Eina's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
'Oh my God! What is this amount of drops? '
For example, after the Loki Familia and Freya Familia returned from expeditions, there would be drops of this magnitude for sale. Normally, throughout the day, the guild might not receive even half the amount of drops it received here.
Eina picked up the dropped items and examined them. All of the items had come from two types of monsters: goblins and kobolds.
Although these two monsters are easy to kill, their drops may not appear even once in 100 attempts, so they can be considered rare.
After being forged by the blacksmiths of the Hephaestus Family, these two dropped items can be used to create powerful weapons and accessories, which are much stronger than ordinary steel weapons.
"Mr. Link, tell me the truth—how many goblins and kobolds have you killed today?" Eina looked around. There were at least three to four hundred goblin fangs and kobold claws here.
Link touched his head, thought for a while, and then gave a vague number…
"About four or five hundred of them, right?"
Four or five hundred? A new adventurer can kill four to five hundred goblins and kobolds in a dungeon in one day?
Eina was a little confused but soon realized the problem. Dungeons generally don't suddenly spawn that many monsters for adventurers to kill. Typically, the number of monsters an adventurer faces at the same time in a dungeon is between 1 and 3. If it exceeds 20 monsters, it is considered a small monster feast.
After killing the monsters, the dungeon takes some time to spawn new ones. Killing four to five hundred goblins and kobolds in one day was definitely excessive. In short, the dungeon shouldn't spawn monsters so quickly.
"Mr. Link, did you encounter a monster feast in the dungeon?"
"Shouldn't the Monster Feast only occur after the third floor with a small probability?"
A Monster Feast is a situation unique to dungeons. It means that in the same area, a large number of monsters suddenly emerge and fill the entire area instantly. This situation is usually a nightmare for newcomers, and they cannot escape.
But this never happens in the first few floors.
If this happens at the entrance and exit of the dungeon, a large number of monsters will quickly rush out, and ordinary residents of Orario will not be able to live normally.
"So, how did Mr. Link encounter so many goblins and kobolds? Such a number should not be..."
In fact, Link has never thought about this topic, but now that he reflects on it, it is indeed strange.
These monsters did not appear suddenly; after he killed one wave and rested briefly, another wave emerged after a while.
Wave after wave, there is no need for Link to move back and forth to specifically search for the monsters' locations.
"I don't even understand it myself. Almost always, after killing a small group of goblins or kobolds and taking some time to adjust and rest, I discover the next wave of monsters, or they spawn right near me. Except for during lunch when they don't appear much, it's like this at other times."
Upon hearing this, Eina displayed an 'Are you kidding me?' expression.
According to the description, these monsters simply watch for Link's location, specifically targeting the general area while giving themselves time to breathe and rest.
.
And…
If they don't appear during lunch, what on earth is this?
This is the first time Eina has encountered something like this, but Link now has some guesses…
'I suppose it's my "Gaia's Love" skill coming into play again.'
