Episode 559: Stacked Challenges and Knowledge Taken

"My technology?

As Ingo leaned his neck, Lorraine takes something out of her own bag of magic.

That's a little bigger than the container the mice (Petite Shrimp) were carrying, and it goes without saying what's stuck inside.

When Lorraine slowly opened it, a puffy object crawled out of it onto my parents' table.

"... this is... slime, huh? Much smaller than the average, huh?

Ingo was surprised by it for a moment, but it didn't seem to have moved much.

Beyond having the skill to follow demons in boulders, you will be able to remain calm about the subject.

Besides, you know that this slime is actually extremely small and is not enough to take in the sense of a threat to humans.

It is still quite surprising and frightening if we show this to ordinary villagers and ordinary citizens who do not have the skills to fight even in Malt, so there is also a place called boulder.

"Yes, because this was secured in a sewer in the basement of Mult"

The labyrinth is spreading in the basement of the malt, but that was made of material from an era older than the one currently in use, quite deep down.

Fortunately for that, there is no significant damage to Malt's current water installations.

Still can't be unaffected by all that underground alteration, it seems a little faulty, but it has been repaired well and is running fine.

Sometimes the Maltese craftsmen are excellent, but I feel that perhaps there is also the Latour family's leap.

I haven't heard it in person, but there are indications that those guys are pretty much maintaining the city on Mame.

Either way, I secured it at that place, and Ingo nods convinced.

"I see. You mean a small species through a gap in the city's defenses? Even so, unlike other demonic small species, it's also hard to tell if there's a gradient in size and it's really a small species... if you're simply talking about size, Slime seems to be going to be huge enough to be comparable to the mountain after all these years... but I've never seen that on a boulder. It is rare for these small species to appear around here to be about the size of the so-called Grand Slime."

"After all, you know a lot about demons."

"As for the other demons, I learned a lot about the ecology of slime from my father. It's just something I've learned that's been passed down to our clan in this village. I think many parts are different from the doctrine of the City Scholar..."

"Sure, it seems different from what is commonly described as knowledge of slime...... I've never heard of anything comparable to a mountain in a large slime, for example"

I've never heard of a slime comparable to a mountain.

Naturally I've never even seen it.

What I've seen in a large slime is about a large slime at best.

I know there are a few others, but they're going to be big guys that I can't relate to.

It wasn't as reckless as challenging boulders to do that.

Ingo says.

"He's not here anymore, or it doesn't happen unless there's such a special condition. I heard from my father that he had artificially generated it a long time ago. It must be the first thing you can't see in nature."

"That's... how the hell...?

"Lorraine. Wouldn't you know somehow? It means he was doing the so-called" Existential Evolution "at the hands of people. Even though there is a gradient in the size of the slime, it does not change the very fact that it" evolves into existence "when it is of a certain size. From small to medium-sized species, and to large species… and finally to special species. This is the fundamental aspect of the evolution of existence in the slime system."

"Evolution of Being... were you utilizing it?

"It's not me. An old human being. All I have is a tiny bit of knowledge I've been told... and I don't know how to get the slime to that special species. It's just Lindblum with you two on his back... that's exactly what I missed using Existential Evolution. It was supposed to be smaller... and that's why we bonded with the smaller species of Feilong-Wyvern, and we grew them to get there."

"... stupid! It is a legend that demons obeyed by Monster Tamer will no longer perform Existential Evolution!

Even though Lorraine screams like that, Ingo says calmly.

"It depends on the way you do it," you mean. Lies or lies, you guys would know if you're actually watching Lindblum. Now there's no point in me lying to you. "

But Ingo didn't say anything about the area before.

I'm curious why, this time, you explain this politely, and I ask.

"That story... you didn't do it before, but what you're doing now... isn't it really something you shouldn't tell people?

"It sure is. It's a secret that only passes on to the blood of the so-called village chief. But... this time, I saw this slime that Lorraine brought. I thought it might be better to explain and put it down. Besides, is the technology that Lorraine wants me to teach her as my obedient master, Monster Tamer? Isn't that just fine?"

I said it mildly, but now my father is not an idiot.

They already guessed a lot.

To this, Lorraine,

"That's right...... I'm here to ask you. What can I say for myself?

And I say with care.

In fact, I feel like I'm being turned down.

Yet it is rather Lorraine who is surprised because she has taken the initiative in explaining it to me.

Ingo tells Lorraine that.

"I guess it's not good. But it's almost like you've given way to the metamagic team, and you've learned a special part of this village. Now that there are two more secrets, it's a big deal. Well, Lorraine's a scholar, so you'll want to publish what you found out, but don't mention that this village is a source at that time, and if it's a good deception, don't worry about it. Plus. As I was saying, Lord Lorraine's slime... it didn't grow to be this size naturally, did it?
