[Seicho Labyrinth] Ichigo-chan from the labyrinth management system told me about the labyrinth defense method that the previous master left for me.
That was amazing content.
First of all, it seems that the former master is a person who was called "Slime Saintess" about 300 years ago.
The means of defending the labyrinth that he had told us was by special [Slime].
After collecting hundreds of [Slime] and performing special rituals, it turns into a special slime and becomes a strong defensive force.
The story about collecting eight hundred [Slimes]... no matter what, that idiot nobleman Bokoy was trying to do it.
It's now a legend of the city.
Maybe the story came from the [Slime Saintess].
However, the urban legend that is currently spreading is a legendary urban legend in which the wish is fulfilled by collecting a hundred slimes.
I checked on the special ritual that [The Slice of the Saints] was talking about.
First of all, [Slime] must be gathered into a hundred and eight, but this must be a state in which all eight of the [Slime] have voluntarily become companions to one master.
This condition is so severe that it would not normally be feasible.
No matter how good a tamer is, it's hard to use a hundred or eight creatures. Normal would be impossible.
Moreover, with the [Tame] skill, instead of forcing you to become a companion, you have to volunteer to become a companion.
And there was also a condition for "slime".
The first condition was that all eight of them were Level 1.
I think it is quite difficult to collect only a hundred Level 1 [Slimes] in [Slimes] that live naturally.
The second condition is that all eight be prepared to trust the master and give their lives.
The third condition is that, apart from the one hundred and eighty-eight bodies, there is a higher species of [slime], and that [slime] gives magic power and life energy to all of the one hundred and eighty-eight [slimes]. In other words, we need a slime of the upper species that is strong enough to do that.
That's all for "Slime," but in order to perform the ritual, they needed a special temple that could capture and amplify the moon's light.
Searching for the temple was part of the deal.
However, it was told that it would not be difficult to discover if one hundred and eight [Slime] voluntarily became a companion and a master who seemed to be able to follow the upper species [Slime].
He said that the way to the ritual, if you go to the temple, you'll understand.
Normally, these conditions would be nearly impracticable.
But... it feels like I can do it.
Because... one hundred and eight [Slimes] at level one can be split by the [Slimes] now.
You just need to make a Level 1 body.
And those kids will probably volunteer to be my people.
Well, the [slime] that's already my ally splits apart, so it's automatically my ally's state.
Even so, my fellow Slimes have all volunteered to join us, so we'll probably meet the conditions.
There is no problem at all with the upper species of [Slime], [Emperor Slime], who share life energy and magic power with the [Slime] of the one hundred and eighty-eight bodies.
All we have to do is find a temple where we can perform the ritual.
Well, in a way, this is the biggest problem.
It looks like nothing has been told how to find it.
In a way, it might feel like it's been tried.
Somehow, it feels like a quest.
Speaking of which, Lin-chan wants to investigate the area and is free to move around, but at the same time, let's find something that looks like a temple.
I've got something to say to Lynn.
Then I explained what I had just heard and asked for an investigation.
(All right! Hang in there, buddy! I'm sure we can find it! Slimes... I found something deep in the mountains. We're friends now. Everyone breaks up with Level 1 Slime.)
Lin replied to me like that.
Even in a country with very few Slimes, Lynn seems to have found a companion.
Then, the [Slime] splits up and the [Slime] at level one is ready.
Well, you may need to level up to level 6, where you will learn the [Proliferation] of the [Race-specific Skill] that can divide.
Okay, Lynn, please.
(All right, I'll do my best for you!)
If you can perform the ritual well... it seems that the "slime" of the hundred and eighty bodies will be turned into a special "slime", so I am very excited.
Probably a special Class Change.
The more successful they are, the stronger they will be in the labyrinth defense.
It's a shame we can't do it right away.
We need to find the temple.
As a measure to defend the labyrinth, it will be a medium- and long-term measure.
After all, there are no effective short-term measures that can be taken immediately.
Well, if there's even a slight suspicious sign of alertness, I'll be the one to rush.
For now, let's block the hole in the floor of the [Adventurer's Final Reach Floor], which is generally thought to be the final floor, with a stone.
We'll be able to get to the secret floor where we need to keep our existence secret.
It looks like the repairs will be completed in a few days, but in the meantime, if someone comes, we'll have to block them with huge stones.
With a short span of time, it's hard to imagine that those demons will attack again, but I think we should keep our vigilance sufficient.
