Episode 560: Stacked Challenges and Fostering Cultivation

"... do you understand?"

That's how Lorraine shrugged as a little surprised by Ingo's words.

A little, which means that there are some parts I expected.

From what Ingo has told us so far, it can be inferred that he is quite knowledgeable about demons, and that it differs from what is commonly referred to as common sense.

If so, the possibility of seeing the slime I brought in this time and discerning its peculiarity is also well thought out.

"Of course I do... I just want to say that I can't tell from seeing everything that has grown in a special way"

Ingo tells Lorraine yes.

"So how do you know this slime is?

"Because I feel like I'm forcibly growing up... yes, it's as if I've been fostered... Well, fast-growing demons aren't necessarily a bad thing, but this slime is. If you're going to evolve any further, you should give it a break."

"Do you understand that much...... But what's wrong with the growth of this slime? You said growing up fast wasn't necessarily a bad thing..."

"It's not just demons, but animals generally grow faster than humans, right? People are not able to be independent right after birth. I can't help but move a year after I was even born. However, immediately after birth, in a few minutes or hours, the animal will start to rise on its own feet…. Their world is tough. Because if you can't at least seem to move around on your own, you'll die soon. Especially if it's also a demon... you know what I mean?

"If I don't get to fight on my own soon, I'll die soon... That's true. They also have the nature to take in power by defeating other demons. Extra easy to target other demons"

In fact, it is said that demons are easier to target than humans and normal animals.

It's just that when people show up in front of us, they consign, and they attack us.

Otherwise, few demons are fighting each other to wash their blood with blood.

And that's because they can absorb that magic by defeating other demons.

There are exceptions, of course, and not between symbiotic demons, etc.

In addition, special situations such as the labyrinth can be different, so it cannot be said at all.

It is just a fact that there is a general tendency to do so.

And that's why he says demons need as much ability to be independent as they can be sooner...

It is a convincing story.

Ingo continues nodding at Lorraine's story.

"Exactly. So growing fast is never a bad thing for demons. However, this is true of both humans, but too fast growth is also a burden. If you had as much magic as Lorraine would know, but when magic grew rapidly...... didn't things go wrong?

"Lord Ingo is also profound about witchcraft... indeed. In my case I was about three years old, but until then I remember that magic, which had only a general mage degree, swelled up many times in about a year... and had severe pain running all over my body. Because of that, my memories of that year were all around the pain..."

"I'm sorry to hear that. However, that would make sense. Demons and creatures. There is a natural form to its growth. When you grow out of it deviating...... there is a lot of distortion and it becomes a burden. This slime is under a lot of strain right now."

"... by the way, what happens if you keep letting it grow the same way?

I ask because I care.

This wasn't necessarily the only dialogue that bothered me about Slime.

Ingo thinks a little and then answers.

"Some possibilities are possible... but the most likely thing is that growth will hit the head." Vessel "… we call it, but it is said that the demon has a vessel that serves as the foundation for growth, and if it breaks, it will never grow again. When Monster Tamer, the common obedient demon, obeys the demon, the demon ceases to exist and evolve because it destroys it most of the time."

"The Device..."

"Yes, the vessel. I have evolved Feilongwo Wyvern into Lindblum because I know how to do Tame, an obedient demon who doesn't destroy the vessel."

"Even if you think you can tell me that?

Ingo nodded as Lorraine asked.

"I'm going to. It's not something I could do overnight... because Lorraine is a brilliant magician. As long as we know how to do it, we can manage the rest on the ground."

"Does that mean you use magic to do it?

"The way I know how to do it is. Because we're going to need some pretty complicated magic manipulation, normally we're going to need yearly training. But if you can do that from the beginning, all you have to do is find out how."

Lorraine was relieved by Ingo's words.

Me, too.

We were going to teach the Monster Tamer technique, but we need ten years of training to wear it! Because I naturally had the anxiety of what I would do if they told me something like that.

Of course, at that time I was thinking about giving up or looking for other ways, but it's still easier to get things going just as I originally thought.

"Good...... then, please"

That's what Lorraine said, so Ingo nods and answers.

"Oh, this is me...... and I hope about that, but can you tell me about the growth of this slime? How'd you let it grow? I also know a few ways to grow demons in a fostering cultivar way, but things are different from them. I wonder how..."

"I'm stunned from me that you know a few ways... shall I put that aside? The way I grew this slime… this is it"

Lorraine then took the example cup out of the magic bag and showed it to Ingo.

"Is that...?

It's a cup.

"I know that."

"So, I guess it's a long story to say..."
