Colossus Hunter

< 14. Lyra Diablo (3) >

Gourmandy said he wanted to talk to you about some business.

Gourmandi excitedly calls in the skeleton.

“Can you please tell us about evolution? ”

It was a desperate voice. A simple "partnership" would not have been as desperate as mine. He was a magician, a researcher. They would have tried to figure out how the slime evolved.

‘But evolution is the power of power. ’

The power of the ruler. And the power of the heavenly host combined. Two abilities, like miracles, were combined and gave birth to a special power called "evolution."

Perhaps he handed me some unprofitable inventory, most likely for his research. 7: 3 only leaves Gourmandy with dozens of points when one is sold, except for the cost of raw materials.

Selling inventory has only done little damage, but few are left. However, Gourmandi accepted.

Evolution. To find out how.

“I guess I couldn't figure it out. ”

“Well, it is. ”

Gourmandi is embarrassed, but it seems obvious. Gourmandi is not a philanthropist, he is a rich man. Rich was usually a naughty and bad person. I couldn't help but notice that I was working on something behind my back.

“I don't care. I knew you wouldn't find out anyway. ”

“· · · · · · No alchemy has revealed the evolution of the slime. I've looked at a number of variables, but only the slime that Uriel Diablo captured evolved. ”

Gourmandi's lust for research was imaginative.

I thought about it for a while. A jewel of space. We were out of stock, so we had to renegotiate.

So if I'm going to continue to make advantageous announcements, the truth must not be revealed. Only, he had to throw bait to further heat up the research.

“Evolution is the act of generations. Adapt to the environment and protect yourself from the natural enemies. I just shortened the time in between. ”

“Well, that's it! What the hell is that? ”

“Lyra, bring it. ”

Lyra was sitting next to me again with a cold face. when it happened, rather with a cooler look than before.

She bows one at a time and goes into the storeroom and brings it.

Gurmandi, who saw it, tilted his head.

“Isn't that Queen Slime? ”

“This Queen Slime will soon be divided. I don't even know what to divide into. ”

“The slime divides the slime, doesn't it? ”

Slimes usually increase numbers through the process of division. Of course, the split slime is no different from the original type.

But the Queen Slime I handed over was different.

Glug! Glug!

As you lay the Queen Slime on the ground, you stand still and begin to inflate with full strength.

Soon, the Queen Slime was torn in two.

In the process of division, however, a different shape was emerging from the Queen Slime.

“What nonsense! ”

Gourmandy opens his joints wide. Bang! It wasn't a very good view of the bones flaring up with the sound, but I could only tell that Gourmandy was surprised.

Hair grows on one side of the divide. There are legs, hands, eyes floating, and all these other shapes.

The species itself was changing.

It became a beast that fled the species Slime.

At the end of the division, one remained a Queen Slime, but the other became a 'Jaranto’.

Guaiac.

Zaranto. A monster with a mole that eats the trunk of a tree. The fingernails had evolved into an iron cage so that they could dig up dirt and cut down the roots of the trees.

It's neither powerful nor rare, but · · · · · · ·.

“Slime divided into other species! ”

It seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world to Gourmandy.

Queen Slime had a high chance of having a different look when in division. But most of them are just these little monsters. Nothing special.

I couldn't figure out why only Queen Slime showed this phenomenon.

“If we study Zaranto, we'll have access to another truth. ”

Of course, there was a 99.9% chance that Gourmandy could not recover anything, even if he studied it.

But what if we could salvage something with a 0.1 percent chance?

I was hoping you would do the same. If Gourmandi can uncover the secrets of this evolution, he can use me in more ways.

It was close to fraud, but I was hoping for it. Do you know?

Will it be possible to evolve in the direction I want it to?

If that were possible, this power would be an unprecedented ability.

“Y-you 're giving it to me? ”

“It's not free. ”

Gurmendi shakes his head and stares at Zaranto.

“What do you want from me? ”

“As you can see, you're the only one who has access to the truth about this technology except me and Lyra. The amount produced by this is also small. You will know why I work in secret like this. ”

“Of course. Evolution is like the sum total of alchemy, the grudge. ”

“So. ”

I said slowly with moxa.

“Why don't you invest? ”

“Investment, you mean? ”

“Gourmandy. I give you exclusive access to this technology. I'll give you my share of the Chamber of Commerce. If you're going to invest properly in our council. ”

Gourmandi was named after the Supreme Court.

He is a rich man who has been around for a long time, and many inventions have confirmed that he has significant funds.

“You're only giving me a chance to dig up the secret? ”

“Yes, we should share the results of the study instead. ”

Gourmandy stops.

As he ponders for a long time, he carefully asks.

“How much should I attract? ”

“The more the merrier. ”

“I'm not the owner of the city, I'm not the real archdiocese. How much do you think it would cost to earn a Refined Richie? ”

“Don't worry, I'm not asking you to invest all at once. As long as you are the head of the Supreme Court, the bigger the council, the greater the chances of redemption. ”

“That's right. ”

He represented the name, but he was willing to give away his shares when he invested. I was going to continue to raise the Chamber, and in the process, Gourmandy was indispensable.

I was trying my best to control it. The invention and research of Gourmandy comes from 'freedom’. If the power of the ruler is strongly influenced, it may not be possible to come up with a counterproductive idea.

Therefore, the appropriate value was called.

“100,000.”

“100,000 points? There's no way I have that kind of money, is there? ”

“Well, that's too bad. I have to recognize someone else. ”

I searched and searched the dark shops and found all the items named "Gourmandy." So I was sure there would be more than 100,000 points of stock.

The measure of value examined in the mind was the basis of its existence itself. My goods, equipment, etc. seemed to have less impact than I thought. Otherwise, the value of Gourmandy can't be measured at 94,000.

If I only used it well, I could count it faster than I thought.

Gourmandy is awake.

“Bird, I think I can prepare myself. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes. I think that would be enough to get rid of things that aren't for sale. ”

“Looks like you could use a space gem. ”

“I've got about 200 of them ready. Haha.”

Again, it was rich and experienced. I was thoroughly prepared as if I had not lived in vain for a long time.

As you hand over Jaranto, Gourmandi calls out for his bones.

It was a bargain of 100,000 points.

I wish I could get something out of there, but...

‘I hope you get it. ’

I really wanted that, too.

Why a queen slime divides and has a very high chance of being different.

Moreover, I decided to share my research findings, so if he found something, I could use it for myself.

Of course, I won't share it straight away, but if I have some clue, I can guess from it.

In other words, it was a battle between Gourmandi and me.

The invisible battle between victory and defeat depends on how well you handle carrots and whips.

* * * * *

13,000 points.

It was the sum of the funds from Gourmandy's investment of 100,000 points.

I didn't intend to keep this quiet. The most urgent thing is to plant a 'nozzle’.

“Lyra.”

“Yes.”

Lyra Diablo. She's been refraining from making any remarks since the runaway. Maybe you're not accepting yourself that easily. I didn't think I could even imagine holding a sword on me.

Her words were often useful. But now that I have to talk to her and answer her, this difference is more headache than I thought.

“Do you know anything about the Dark Chamber? ”

“I know about other daemon loads. ”

“Do you know of any promising dark merchants? ”

“I'm sorry, I can't fathom what Lord meant by that. ”

It was a very different reaction than usual. Even for a moment, it seemed to be moving. Whether to thank him for coming back without giving up on his work.

“I'm going to plant a pitchfork in the Dark Chamber. My power is to rule one skilled dark merchant and raise him to reach the heart. ”

“You mean the Dark Chamber? ”

“The Dark Council is where my powers work best. If I could just get access to the secrets there, I could benefit even more. ”

Lyra sighs a little elasticity and nods.

Confront the secrets of the Dark Chamber and take advantage. And keep the cracks from opening as much as possible. These were the two things I wanted. He said only the one in front of him.

Lyra considers for a moment and pouts her lips.

“What rank do you want? ”

A Dark Merchant moves to a noble rank.

King, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Baron, Baron, Baron.

There were seven classes in total, the lowest of which was Baron Jun.

However, it was limited to ruling the baron or baron at most at 100,000 points. That's what I looked into.

“Is there anyone competent in the ranks of Baron Joon? Someone talented enough to rise above me if I assist him. ”

“Baron June is rumored to be capable of egg, cricket and china. These are the new black merchants. ”

“Who would you choose if you were to choose one? ”

“Cricket. He deals mostly gems and herbs. But also because they're greedy, they also take away slaves. It's a rare creature in the wild, if you will. ”

It meant he could get everything to sell in one word.

“You seem to know. ”

Lyra nods.

“I've made a few deals with him. ”

Not through the Dark Chamber, but through the Dark Merchants themselves. It's not much of a recommendation at the Chamber, but I've heard that quite a lot of daemon lords are benefiting from direct deals. On the contrary, the black merchant was also favored because there was no fee deducted from the council.

I got up off the couch, sweeping my chin.

“Good. I'll meet him. ”

You can call me through Lyra, but my movements are quicker and more stealthy.

Just a short distance from the Dark Chamber, there is a dense green garden. As I approached, the door opened and a black man in a helmet with a silver horn appeared.

He was cleaning out the scissors from the garden tree, but he turned his head to the appearance of a sudden customer and thumped! and took a picture of the buttocks.

“Huh! Ra, isn't that Lyra Diablo? ”

“The one next to me is my Lord. Don't you have someone to say hello to before me? ”

“Phew! ”

Cricket. He throws the scissors away in a big shock and sprints to the windlass.

I opened my mind. At the same time.

Name: Cricket (value-56,000)

Race: Black (Baron)

Even in my mind, I can only think of my name and race.

But that was enough.

It was challenging. Even the chariots were not fully functional in their dominant power. Likewise, if the blacks in the noble class receive something like "Great Star" blessings, things can get complicated. There was even the possibility of blowing points.

But · · · · · · · · Challenge and adventure were my favorite words. It was my experience that I couldn't get what I wanted without those two things.

“Hey, we're late for greetings. My name is Cricket, Lord Rodney. Sell Herbs or Jewels mainly. ”

“Cricket, look at me. ”

“Yes · · · · · · · ·? ”

Black people have no eyes. No nose, no ears. All I could do was talk.

However, they were able to clearly recognize the opponent. As soon as I finished talking, his face turned towards me.

‘Ruler.’

The name of power. The moment the three letters come to mind.

[Dominator's power is triggered.]

[56,000 pt spent successfully dominating the ‘Dark Cricket’.]

Cricket tilts.

Thung! You fall to the ground with a sound.

“Gosh, I'm sorry. I was so surprised.”

Cricket says while he's down.

Is it not working?

This is the same move as before. The black man couldn't recognize it with his face or his eyes because he had nothing to say about it.

“Are you all right?"

I reached out my hand.

Then cricket grabbed my hand and barely got up.

“Go, thank you. ”

“No. A more unusual helmet. ”

A helmet with a silver horn. Black people rank according to this helmet. For some reason, they loved the helmet more than anything. I never let another creature touch my helmet.

But Cricket remained still even though I touched his helmet.

I got up from my seat and boasted about the helmet.

“This helmet was recently acquired as a nobleman. Haha!”

“Can you give me the helmet? ”

“That's... ”

Cricket ponders for a moment. It has a very troublesome look.

Is it a failure or a low influence of domination?

“It's not supposed to be. ”

Thinking about 10 seconds, Cricket takes off his helmet and tries to give it to me.

Luckily, I smiled at it.

‘There you go.'

The power of domination varies depending on the target.

There were times when they were completely dominated, followed only words, or had only a simple degree of favors.

And cricket was clearly in a considerable state of domination.

Otherwise, there's no way a black man would give up his helmet!
