Episode 187: Brocade 5
Mar 28, 7450
Even today I used the ability of the Slaughter Dragon (Dragon Slayer) to collect monsters and wipe them out.
The place is a lot more south than yesterday, and now you can see that the western side of Barkud has been safe for the time being.
Big sea monsters never showed up today like they did yesterday.
There's no reason for that to be so lame, so I guess it's natural.
Of all the monsters approaching from the sea, they came up to land to the extent that they were like half-fishers.
I didn't work as hard as I could, because I had in mind getting my squire and combat slaves to gain experience, so I myself didn't work as hard as I could, except for killing the scythe, which made it pretty easy.
The only thing that bothers me is that after yesterday, I didn't see Horndbear today, but I still have time, and I think I should use Dragon Slayer again tomorrow, even north of the village.
It includes the area where you shot Horned Bear at the end.
But if I use my sword's abilities again tomorrow, I'll keep them for January, just in case... no, it's this time, so should I grasp the healing cycle of my sword's abilities?
As a result, the ability of the sturdy sword Short Sword of Stardy, which is deposited with Bell, recovers with the sunrise.
What about my slaughtered dragon (dragon slayer)?
Once I use my abilities, will I recover in a month?
Or does it recover all at once when the moon changes, whether it is just once or three times to use it all up?
You should know.
Note that because it's still in the morning, I killed Kraken yesterday (?) I went with the corpse.
Thanks to Sean's proclamation about Kraken, you also felt somewhat unwell that you hadn't even told Zed or Becky.
Besides, I ended up picking demon stones yesterday, and I wanted to keep a close eye on what was going on under the sea anyway.
I know it's not here, but I might make a harbor in the future.
... No, as a fisherman, I also had reason to say that I'm not going to miss the opportunity to observe the seabed terrain slowly.
Ma, it's only for now, not for the main reason.
Yeah. It's not the main reason.
We even came to yesterday's cliff after noon, but as expected, the stupid big ice remained stupid.
The corners and edges are rounded on the boulder and it feels like they are beginning to melt, but still the general shape is not significantly different from yesterday's.
It would melt faster if it even rained.
In particular, the outer circumference of the lower part that is immersed in the water is melted like a few dozen centimeters scraped because it was washed in sea water, and I feel that if I leave it like this, it will all form like a mushroom.
The horizontal hole was also left empty with a natural face, but the position was lower in metres than yesterday, and the majority of the entrance was blocked by ice on the scaffolding made in front of it.
Whether or not the opening leaves only 50 cm.
When scaffolding was shredded in the anti-magic field and penetrated the interior, floor surfaces, walls, etc. were beginning to melt and were no longer flat.
Slipping is dangerous, so keep floors and walls even again with anti-magic fields.
Because ice cubes are starting to melt in the sky, or the internal passages are darker on boulders than yesterday.
but it's not enough to require light magic because it's still fully through the light of day.
After a while I went in, I noticed that the further back I went, the cooler I was.
Physical sensation, but the temperature in the horizontal hole is much colder than yesterday.
Looks pretty cold overnight.
I guess it took a lot of time for the outside air to get cold yesterday when I drilled a hole in the anti-magic field.
... here we go.
At this time. It will have no choice but to melt somewhat.
Combine fire magic and wind magic to create air at temperatures of about summer.
And I even came to the side of Kraken's body.
Yesterday, a few holes I drilled to pass attack magic were about half the height (as high as the surrounding sea level?) until it was completely filled with ice.
Naturally, the body is still there.
My body color had changed visibly while I was alive, but now that I'm dead, it's fixed to white.
This place is still with the squid.
I smelled ammonia and I didn't eat it.
Again use the anti-magic field to carefully widen the horizontal hole above Kraken to make it look like a room.
I'd like to see the bottom of the ocean on a wide scale anyway.
Hmm?
Hmm?
Is this...?
I had some anticipation because the position of the hole was lower than yesterday, but not in the future.
Ice has the characteristic of melting point being lower when pressure is applied.
Did you experiment with ice restoration or something in elementary school?
To put it more plainly, it is a phenomenon that contains shards of ice in your mouth and melts to form your teeth when you chew slowly.
Of course, my ice is minus 30°C, so I won't dissolve how much pressure I put on it if it stays that way (sure, the melting point will be about minus 21°C at about 20,000 bar, but that should be the limit).
However, the temperature of the ice mass itself would have been considerably higher with contact with the seabed, sea water and air, and almost a whole day further.
The addition of self-weight to it dissolves the ice on the undersea surface and forms perfectly closely with the undersea.
It only weighs 9 million tons on boulders.
In particular, I think that some parts of the sea water have frozen in contact with ice cubes on the seabed surface.
Anyway, the fact that there is also an increase in temperature but it dissolves at this degree of weight made it clear that the ice to be made by magic would be ice i h (normal ice) where chemistry put it.
It floats in water in the first place.
But then just a few questions arise, but now would be a good time.
By the way, isn't it okay to just turn this off to the bottom of the ocean?
I dug a vertical hole a little off Kraken.
... um.
Probably reached the bottom of the ocean, but there's no way the sea water seeps into the bottom of the hole.
Thoughtfully I tried to increase the diameter of the hole and saw no problems.
I guess not in some places, but if it's at least this place, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
Hmm.
Can I just say that this would be a thousandth of the effort of dredging when building a harbor?
Clearly, it would seem that it would be easier to construct than lay down a railway line.
I think I'll just have to dig the undersea surface.
Ah, the icy discovery of tiger fish (wokose)!
I could only find one of these guys with a beautiful body, but miraculously I guess he was at the crack of the bottom of the ocean and didn't get crushed.
Ah! Is that Bob!?
Every shell is shattered and my body is messed up, but that shell must be abalone... no body.
Anyway, let's be satisfied that a little bright predictions have been made about the future now and that we have obtained ice pickling for wokose.
It should be noted that in the series of cases where this Kraken was killed, the expensive Demon Stone naturally obtained a very large amount of things such as the harbor construction laws.
I thought it was all I got.
About 20 km northwest of Bafk village there is a city called Dorad.
From there, on the streets stretching northeast, were two military horses and four men and women crossing them.
"But it hurts..."
A middle-aged woman raised a mixed voice of tears in the back seat of one military horse.
Claw's mother, Carmen Balladik.
"Okay. Next time we find a good spot, let's take a break."
Claw suggests a break with his face that he has no choice, but this is the ninth time he has taken a break today.
By now we were supposed to be taking accommodation in the village of Dubs, which is already ahead of us.
"My mother-in-law, I'm sorry..."
Marie apologizes to her stepmother for putting her in the back.
The word includes the meaning that because of his immature horseback riding skills, he is burdening his mother-in-law.
"You're tired of horses... my ass hurts too"
Claw's father, Robin Balladik, also had zero bumps and discontent as he turned his hand around Claw's waist.
- Son of a bitch, I won't tell you to keep thanking me for the rest of your life, but it's this attitude in only half a day!
Claw was beginning to think his parents were not thankful enough, even though he had bought a large one.
But at the same time, his parents didn't say anything because they felt like they had been this character for a long time.
After a short break, the parents become big letters on the meadow without closing Marie's eyes.
Claw's face distorted when he saw them like that, about to say something, but Marie gently shook her face sideways in front of Claw.
- Shit... is it critical to get to Keel when it looks like this... Isn't it too early to let him walk?
Speaking ill in his heart, Claw hung a healing magic on his two glutes as he went faceless under his parents.
The slight but relieved pain also loosens the expression on both parents' faces.
"Claw, your magic is amazing."
"Oh. You're just a boulder knight."
The two complimented Claw on their mouths.
But sometimes Marie hangs healing magic on them during breaks.
At that time, he kept saying things like "I don't feel very effective" and "My witchcraft arm doesn't extend to claw," and Claw, who finally broke his Toyota bag, had told Marie he didn't have to use healing witchcraft anymore about the healing witchcraft he'd been using in his shift until then.
"Hey, Dad, my mother. Come on, will you?
After hanging the healing magic, Claw said to his parents with a harsh look on his face.
"Come on, what?
"Is that what you tell your parents you haven't seen in ten years?
My parents answer Claw while falling asleep in the big letters.
……
Claw looked back silently at Marie, who had begun to take care of the horse.
- Right. I have an idea if that's only the attitude. I've been trying to free you with Beglitz, but we're stopping you?
But if you talk about it, you'll corrupt it to the same level as your parents.
Claw started brushing his horse alongside Marie.
Stealing his side, his wife is scratching his horse's neck with expressions such as the attitude of his righteous parents and where the wind blows.
Claw said a grand thank you in his heart, yet he was left to sink everywhere.
March 29, 7450.
Last night, I was finally able to act like a dried noodle.
I have a pretty good reputation, and I'm glad they even told me to give them some amount when the village caravan is going to pass through Beglitz.
At the same time, I was very pleased as far as I was concerned that I gave Zed and Becky a glass pendant embedded with blue dragon scales.
And today, I went out to the mountains that could stretch north of the village to use the ability of the dragon slayer.
You've all grown accustomed to boulders. You've defended the positions I've built and fought through them, and you're still uplifting the bodies of Goblins and Kobolds in front of you today that you've managed to manipulate into hundreds.
But Horndbear still didn't come today.
I'm just as disappointed as I was expecting.
But Horndbear is a dangerous monster.
I missed it. I can't help but tell you.
"Brother, listen to me. Actually, there's at least one left that sucks."
Once upon a time, I talked about the parents and children of the horndbears I had put in place before I left the village.
My logic is that if I had a mother, I would have a father.
My brother is listening to me with a wrinkle on his brow.
And when I finished talking, I called Kelly, the hunter who was still accompanying me today, and a couple of Dokshes from Me Isle.
"Have you seen Horndbears lately?
My brother asked, but the answer was no.
According to Kelly, I've never seen one since.
I have never even seen traces of scratches carved into the trunk of a tree, or of dead bodies devoured, nor of course have I found fur or manure mixed with crushed bones, like those of a large carnivore.
Did it flow somewhere?
If so, it's a relief... Well, if you haven't seen it for nearly a decade, I can tell you it's reasonable to think so.
I found out that I had successfully cleaned up outside the eastern part of the village and that I was not in the danger zone first about the horned bear, which was a source of concern, and I felt just a little easier.
Before evening I will return to the village and also try to show my face to the factory where the rubber products are manufactured.
It used to be a small work shed, but now it has been built so much that all three large buildings are lined up beyond even the Lords' Hall, and the number of people who work constantly also exceeds eighty.
Some of the slaves of the squire involved in rubber manufacturing seem to be considered very honorable to be able to work in this factory, and many usually come to peek into the manufacture of rubber products even if they find time to work on the exterior, such as collecting rubber or developing a rubber garden, collecting sulphur, or manufacturing charcoal.
Mun also seemed to be perfectly executive, skipping the instructions tightly while wearing a dirty front with a latex.
I summoned Mun at night because I learned a bit of interest.
Late at night.
Even so, around 22: 00.
Mun came to his usual place.
I also have Aylard.
"Hey, Mun. How have you been?
"Thanks to you, you're right. Mr. Al said his wife had taken over, above all."
Mun, as one day, smiled and hugged me.
"Oh, yeah. This..."
I took out a pendant embedded with blue dragon scales, the same one I gave my family.
"Is that...?
Mun sounded strange, reflecting the light of the moon and not seeing the contents often.
"Ah! That...!
I guess Eilard, who was watching beside me, figured out who he was.
With that said, I heard Zed and Becky bragged to their squire children during today's audition.
"Oh. You (Al) have your share. Here."
Say that and I'll hang you around my neck when I take out another pendant.
I was happy to thank you and see your smiling face, which made me happy too.
Finally, I didn't bring him here, I also gave him his brother's share.
"This is it. This pendant is embedded with the blue dragon scales that I shot before. It's nothing, but just think of it as a souvenir gift."
"Isn't it the Dragon's... precious thing?
"Hmm, it's precious when it comes to precious, but it's a small scale, and it can't be used for weapons, so it can only be decorative. So don't worry too much."
"Really...... thank you. I'll take care of it."
Mun laughed at me as I held the pendant I received in front of my chest.
Try this, I guess Irard is still Mun's son.
The smile is very similar.
"Well, Eilard. Do you keep auditioning?
I just changed the vibe a little bit and asked.
Islard used to bring the sword I made.
"Yes. Can you see it?
"Yeah. Let me see that."
When Irard removed his sheath from the tip of the gunsword, he performed several shapes.
……
I've been watching for a while and I know the strengths and weaknesses.
"Well, here's what we're gonna do."
Receive a gunsword from Islard to set an example.
"Then when poking like this, spread your left leg more. Next move faster"
I was able to point out some shortcomings and correct them.
"Okay. This weapon doesn't just poke. They can be slashed by usage, or beaten with stone-piercing sides that are bigger and more sturdy than regular spears. Reach is not as good as a spear, but depending on where you grip it and how you shake it, you can use it longer than a sword, and there are attack and defense methods that work smaller than a sword by changing the grip."
Show off some streak moves while explaining.
"Got it?
"Yes!"
Good reply.
"All right, give it a try before you forget"
Ailard started imitating me, so I turned to Mun.
"Thank you"
"That's okay. That's all I can do. More than that, I'd like to ask..."
Quickly, I asked what I wanted to ask.
My brother's thoughts on the management of Barkud Village and his treatment.
According to Mun, the three houses involved in agriculture other than rubber are not very different from before, but the exponential increase in agricultural land also increases incomes and provides considerable room for life.
Of course, spending is increasing because the number of farmers owned is also increasing dramatically, but the graph that represents the relationship between the area of farmland and the number of farmers seems to be at quite different angles than before, with the area of arable land per farmer being about five times greater with the introduction of bull horses.
With that, the salaries paid to the serfs had also quadrupled or so.
I own over 50 slaves, including children, such as the Timber family, which is the chief squire I plan to receive, but since I earn over 100 million Z., I pay my brother 60% tax, and even after paying my slaves, my disposable income is over 20 million Z.
The remaining five houses involved in the manufacture of rubber products have also been paid salaries by their brothers according to the number of labour provided, which they say is fully satisfactory.
For example, the Tobas family in Mun has thirty slaves only for those who are adults, putting Mun in to provide a workforce of thirty-one. The total number of slaves is three or eight.
My brother says he pays 840,000 Zs per head per year as a salary, and there is also a slight increase depending on his work.
In addition, the Tobus family's annual earnings are said to exceed 30 million Z, approaching 34 million Z.
Their tax is 10% because it is not agricultural, so their disposable income is over Z17 million.
Salaries to slaves exceed the minimum weekly wage of 4000Z for those who are adults, and many reach a weekly wage of 10,000 Z.
When I was there, even Mun's salary for a civilian maid was 400Z a week.
It would have been better if I had gotten 200Z of slaves.
You're also convinced of the richness that's not comparable to before, damn it.
But the disposable income of Sean's Timber family is over 20 million Z. Hey.
I'm going to fill you up with good places, so I can guarantee you no more.
