About three days had passed since Kane left for the deep border. In the meantime, it rained once and the temperature dropped sharply these days.
‘Then it seems a bit earlier than the original.’
I didn’t know much about it thanks to the small subspace ring that contained the enchantment to maintain body temperature and weak resistance to poisoning, but seeing that the clothes of the mercenaries around me have gotten longer and thicker, it seems that the days have become quite chilly.
The contents of the original work were quite extensive, and no matter how immersive otakura I was, I read it again periodically, but it was ambiguous because I did not remember every letter.
I think I read that the cyclops descended around winter.
Thanks to that, the outpost in the inner canyon collapsed and the road was cut off, leading to an increase in deaths due to food shortages and low temperatures.
Did he say that Reinhardt became even more blackened by that, and later, it was an opportunity for a fortress to be built here with a massive barrier?
The long barrier built along the border seemed like a good choice at first to block monsters from popping out of there, but thanks to the invasion of the Evil Church that will happen in the second half, it turns out to be a handshake.
Those who tried to avoid the Evil Gods and enter the monster border could not break through the barriers built to prevent the monsters. It was later called the Wailing Wall.
So this time, you should catch Cyclops and improve Kane’s specs so that there is no wailing wall.
“Once you brought the subjugation request, there are three in total.”
The three pieces of paper Luna brought were placed on the table.
Subjugation of kobold villages, clearance of crypts where irregular monsters such as slimes crawl out. The other is a cooperative subjugation of a large monster presumed to be a twin-headed ogre.
The last one is a pretty dangerous monster, so the cost of life and the request money are extremely high, but how many will participate in this cooperative subjugation?
“It’s only a matter of time before thousands of ordinary mercenaries who can’t use mana like ogres, they’ll all be annihilated. Twinheads must be dangerous even if they are mercenaries who know how to use mana.”
“Is it that dangerous?”
At Luna’s words, Zero opened his mouth as if wondering.
“Some of the adventurers who fell into our room in the labyrinth boasted that they were ogre slayers.”
“It’s probably a bluff.”
An attack that does not use mana, even for a normal ogre, cannot damage its hide.
Would normal people have to hit hundreds or thousands of times to damage the internal organs? Even that would literally come back with monstrous resilience.
At least, the only drawback pointed out is that the head is bad, but that is a weakness that is offset very slightly, really slightly, in the case of a twin-headed ogre.
It’s not that I fell here for nothing and read several encyclopedias like the Monster Encyclopedia.
At least I need to know how strong the opponents are to be able to come up with something.
– Then, manager. Which of the 1st and 2nd quests are we going to receive?
“It’s definitely number 3.”
After pushing the other two, I picked up the Ogre Cooperation Subjugation Request Form.
“Why is it always number 3?”
I sat down and opened my mouth to watch the riff as Joe put his finger in and out of Rachel’s mouth as I answered.
“Our party’s performance has accumulated quite a bit, and now I think it would be better to let people know how cooperative they are with control rather than small results.”
Thanks to Rachel’s joining, our party’s military power went up. Of course, since Rachel is playing, she won’t give out more power than she decided right away.
Probably from Auror user to Master at most. Right now, that’s okay. In fact, thanks to the existence of me, the limiter is vaguely released.
A dragon’s play is originally like a midday dream, so it follows the fate it has set for itself.
In severe cases, he intentionally erases his memories as a dragon and lives on until he is revived as a dragon after death.
So, if Rachel started playing with power limits limited to the Aura user, it would have originally stopped there.
Because of me, who knows that Rachel is a dragon, I have the condition that I can release the power limiter that I will use in Yu-Hee at any time.
‘This game will have to use a different concept.’
I tilted my head a little and smiled.
“Because we had Rachel on our side. Appeal that and apply to join the joint subjugation team.”
Then you will be driven to the front. Rachel is reputed to be a strong fool and a strong woman, and if she got along well with others, she wouldn’t have been a party member in the first place.
He must have made an enemy without knowing it, so he will prepare a place in the front with the meaning of “f*ck you”. Even an auror user could never catch a large species like an ordinary ogre alone.
The medium type varies depending on the individual, but when it comes to the large type, most of them know how to handle the magic crystals inside their bodies while they are alive.
While alive, it instinctively learns how to use the magic stones inside its body to make its skin tough and increase its mana resistance.
Then, general blades do not go in at all, and opponents need to use the same amount of mana to hurt even the skin, so the lowest condition to deal with is an Auror user.
“Rachel, wake up.”
I kicked Rachel’s feet under the table and opened my mouth.
“Can our party catch the Twin Ogre alone?”
Our party is never weak. However, there is a slight difference between not being weak and being strong.
It’s possible to hunt twin ogres with the strength of our party that I’ve figured out.
I want to hear the dragon’s judgment.
“to? Write. Ogre?”
Rachel looks at me with open eyes as she wipes her chin with the back of her hand.
“Yes, ogre.”
Rachel’s eyes gradually became clearer, starting with me, Luna and Zero. Take a quick look at the riff.
“It depends on how far you reveal it.”
A long finger pricked me in the air.
“It’s possible if you use the high-class magic in that codex.”
And then the riff.
“The magic stone inside the body? It is possible if you increase the consumption rate of the mana power source and generate more output than the user.”
“Then what if we attack without putting all our strength into it?”
At that, Rachel propped her face so that her cheeks protruded and said nonchalantly.
“It will be possible. but… It will take a very long time because of the lack of attack power.”
I nodded to him. To begin with, I have a strong utilitarian aspect and my riff is tanger. Luna is also close to an evasion tank and sub-dealer with a raised dex in terms of game, and zero.
‘If you put it in good words, it’s omnipotent. If you put it in a bad way, it’s a joke.’
It can be used in many ways or matched, but it lacks a pole dealer, or nuker.
That’s why I brought Rachel in, but Rachel is a martial artist with strong physical attack power, so it’s a bit disappointing that she’s compatible with ogres.
Things are a little different if you pick up a blade.
‘I’m in the middle of a game of catching monsters with my bare hands because I like the taste of my hand, but there’s no way that’s the case.’
No matter how much you devote your body and mind to being loyal, it is obvious that you will listen to it without changing the setting of Yu-hee greatly.
“There’s no choice, we have to catch them all together.”
At the same time, you have to stand out moderately so that you can have some say in the Cyclops subjugation.
I smirked and laughed.
“Should I sell my sad face now?”
* * *
Zero frowned slightly and smiled awkwardly. Is it because of the doppelganger’s racial characteristics or because of his own personality?
I have to say that the problem is that someone’s attention and attention is so cumbersome, but I can’t avoid it again.
‘I just want to live like a normal human being.’
The problem is that your employer won’t let you do that.
“Don’t lift your head right away.”
Even now, while he hides his face with a robe on, Zero is a villain who wears high-quality clothes and has a new hair style, and presents himself as the face madam.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Oh, can you take a look?”
“Uh, no.”
In the meantime, in order to prevent unnecessary turmoil and misfortune from someone recognizing Adelian, I have blurred my impression with recognition-disrupting badges, but now I have to properly gain awareness and reputation.
So, instead of only Adelian wearing a hood and wearing a badge, the rest agreed to remove the badge. He said that since his skills were already well known, he had no choice but to influence as well as the right to speak.
‘But why do I have to be the face madam… … .’
Excluding the one wearing the suspicious robe, all but Zero were beauties.
Luna is a short and cute girl type. A junior Leaf who is rather slender and has a doll-like expressionless face that is rather provocative.
And with a height of over 180cm, which is comparable to Zero herself, with good-looking muscles, and a cheerful Rachel who looks cheerful.
Apparently, among the mercenaries fighting with the monsters, it seems that Zero has monopolized the beauties, who are not unique in appearance, and even if you search the entire area, there are only a few beauties… … .
‘Anyone can see it’s like telling them to be careful at night.’
The double-digit number of death threats received during the short time I left the inn and went to the subjugation office.
Adelian’s plan to drive all aggro to Zero was so successful that Zero wanted to cry.
“What is the name of the operation?”
“It turned out that Zero was the youngest member of a conglomerate family… … .”
At the conversation between Adelian and Luna, Zero slightly stretched the nape of his shirt, which seemed to be a bit tight, and laughed.
‘What is it like to be a conglomerate in the first place, Mr. Adelian?’
Are those chaebol families living off someone’s malice? I haven’t done anything, but I can see him stabbing me in the back and openly swearing with his mouth even though he doesn’t even have eyes on the back of his head.
Zero pressed the corner of his mouth that was about to convulse, but finally opened his mouth.
“That Adelian, ugh no that, uh. I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while, no… I’ll come.”
Because of the strategy, the party’s leader is Zero, and Adelian is a wizard hired by Zero. His characteristic is that he has a scar on his face, so he always wears a robe because of his appearance complex… As it was, Zero was respectful as a habit, but after being stepped on by Adelian, he slowly fell back.
‘It’s going to be noisy tonight if I go back to the inn without solving it anyway.’
Adelian won’t be able to hear it, but when he gathers a team and raids the inn, he divides the women with the mani spoils.
“Quietly settle it.”
Likewise, Zero nodded at the words Luna muttered in a very small way without Adelian secretly filling out the cooperation subjugation application form.
You don’t have to report every little thing like this.
It’s the same thing as reporting with every breath.
To take what Adelian wants. It is a virtue of a servant to pick up a piece of stone while walking on the road before the owner notices it.
As soon as I slowly entered the back alley of the subjugation office, Zero laughed softly at the shadows surrounding me.
“Is there a problem.”
Standing close, I sting my nose. Dust, sweat, and demon blood.
A different kind of blood incense mixed with it.
Although it has never swallowed a person’s existence entirely, it is the blood shed by a living being.
“Hey, Bocchan. If you enjoy it alone, you will write it.”
“If I take the three of us, where will we stay for the night?”
“Oh, I don’t know. The guy in that robe, how do you know if you take it off, he’s a b*tch?”
Zero laughed when he said that he wouldn’t know if he’d proudly take such pretty girls around and put them on in their robes.
It would be a big deal if Luna-senpai heard this… … .
‘I want you to crush that mouth right away.’
Zero laughed loudly at the faint voice over the wall.
“Bocchan, I think he went out of his mind because he was so scared. why are you laughing alone uh?”
“What is it, nasty. The floor is full and I haven’t done anything yet, but it’s difficult if it’s already dry.”
Zero looked at the three men standing in front of him with the eyes that had been smiling softly.
“What are you talking about after you did it?”
“uh?”
The sarcastic man with a big smile in the steaming rain looked down. An unknown expression on his pants that were wet from when.
And even the goose bumps on the nape of the colleague standing in front of me.
It was only then that they noticed that their bodies were shaking and met eyes with the green jewel that seemed to shine exceptionally in the dark shadows of the alley.
Like a mouse in front of a snake.
“Job… catch and eat… … .”
“It can’t be. I don’t eat If only you would leave me alone.”
The act of swallowing everything, erasing self-consciousness, melting a human from this world to its soul, reviving it as a new species, and spitting it out as it is rooted in the soul.
“Now I don’t. Do you understand?”
If you want to know what it means to not be me, even though I have all the memories and emotions.
“Please come tonight as scheduled.”
The three men shook their heads with difficulty as if they were standing right under the fangs of an open-mouthed snake with a gentle smile on their faces.
“Then, please take good care of me during the subjugation.”
I believe that you will be my arms and legs.
