Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?
Episode 36: In the case of Kanya Kanjo (34) (Part II)
It's been years since I ran away from people with black skin.
Zes has succeeded in gaining a lot of decentralization again.
Needless to say, the number of hobbgoblins, oaks, and goblins, including augers, totals more than 300 to Nor and Cobalt.
It is only at a certain level, but it is also organized at the same time.
In addition, Zes had grown considerably as an individual.
Natural skills have also learned how to use them, and the skill level has already reached seven.
Notably, it is a special skill of magic. Supported by abundant magic, as well as considerable combat experience, the level of non-magic skill has already reached five levels.
This is incredible considering his age, which is less than fifteen.
In addition, I invented a method of using water magic by placing my hand on the mouth of a captured prisoner in an attempt to wash his internal organs alive, but it could be said that he was dead.
Such a zeth, but I have some immediate problems.
One of them is that, occasionally, it's hard to control, but it's hard to control.
Of course, it is clearly different from the runaway lust caused by magic consumption.
Previously, I only felt appetite and sleeping appetite for all kinds of cravings due to magic consumption, but I understand the difference because sexual desire has also been added in the past two to three years.
That's why I usually have several young human women.
His preference is an elf tribe with thin lines of beauty.
However, most elves are close to single-use vulnerabilities, so the skill of healing magic has recently increased.
But in the end, I will eat it in the winter food shortage.
By the way, speaking of the clan, Augusta only reacts when the magic runs out against the Oak Hobbgoblin.
Another problem is that the heads of the servants are too short.
From Zes' point of view, it seems that he always struggles to find even the shards of learning ability, and the description of idiotic alignment suits him.
--I knew it would take patience for these guys to farm...
If Zeth had commanded him, everyone would have been engaged in the opening of the land.
But in a day or two, the laziness began to appear, and it grew rapidly.
There is no way to monitor the number of 300 by yourself.
--If they skip where I'm not looking, I'll do it. I can't help it.
As soon as I found someone who was skimming, I used every hand I could think of to beat, threaten, and reward the rare, honest person to do their job.
--I don't know if Auger is the best...
Sure, Augusta is in good shape and ideal for manual labor.
Is it possible to express that the character is the most calm among the subordinates and mature in a sense?
However, it only has the definitive article “Among the subordinates”, and it is not as far as the real human that Zeus knows from a glance.
It can be taken for granted that even relatively talented people have only the spirit of junior grade elementary school.
Thinking, patience, everything but learning.
Apart from oaks and bobgoblins, other species have a lower spirituality, and if they're a little distracted, they'll soon start fighting or chase bugs and disappear somewhere.
They had a slightly better head in that, and they were kind of like kindergarten children with twice as much appetite as people, because they had a slightly better head and a more skilled leader in their clan, so to put it in Zeth, they had adult lust for power, self-expression, lust.
The oak and hobbgoblin have a slightly higher spirituality - about elementary school graduation - but the weakness and laziness for desire is less than the goblin, and in cunning and so on, they have a very difficult character to treat as human adults.
There is no other way but to throw a spoon at this.
--But it wasn't just hunting and raiding...
Of course, I have been instructed to collect tree nuts and store as much food as possible, such as dried meat and smoked meat.
By the way, in addition to the big invention of “seasoning” by salt and pepper, which did not exist in the previous subordinates, Zes is great even if he invented “very delicious preserved foods" such as dried meat, salt storage, and smoking.
Of course, I was careful not to be stolen, and I was successful in stockpiling that food.
However, the winter was still harsh with fewer prey.
The number itself was decreasing, but so were the starving deaths.
--In this case, no matter how long it takes...
Though I think so, I completely gave up farming about three years ago.
It should be noted that the idea of raiding and enslaving human settlements and having them grow crops was abandoned long ago.
It was because the prisoners who had been abducted from caravans and settlements had information about the state, the army, and other fully-controlled violent organizations.
Nowadays, we also have information that people with black skin are a slightly unusual species called dark elves and durows.
--I 've never seen an army like yours, but it's highly probable that they're all black...
People with black skin were not only more controlled than other carriage escorts, but also had higher individual combat abilities.
If you think of Zeus as the one who usually trains the army, they are the standard of the military in this world, and they have reached the understanding that "the last two defeats attacked and retaliated against the transport units of the army in the Dark Elves country."
Thus, it seemed possible to attack and enslave human settlements, but sooner or later it had been concluded that the army would move to recapture.
He didn't know that the Dark Elves were particularly capable of fighting compared to the standards of this world, so there was nothing he could do about it.
― ― The number of carriages would be anything.But there's no army behind it...
I'm sure there's no comparison between carriages or anything like that.
It is difficult for such people to fight against the boulders with their current strength.
It was because he knew that Zes couldn't farm, but he had his men train in combat.
Especially since I understood that the killing of "losing equals dying" was a natural world, not a sports game, it was narrowed down to the point that I would definitely listen to Zeus in battle, rather than mastering fine technology.
It is indispensable for practical training such as hunting, raiding caravans and raiding settlements.
This is also Zes pride, but he also succeeded in selecting the best of his men and training magic.
Nevertheless, I don't remember well because I'm sure I'm not smart enough.
Although there are 300 heads, only eight have succeeded in acquiring magical special skills.
Of these, more than half of the five are the same augers as Zeus (i.e., relatively honest and good ones), while the remaining three are dealt with by two goblins and one cobalt.
Their level of magical skill is not exactly known, but more than half of them have been able to use some attack magic, whether Zes taught well or not.
According to the information obtained from the prisoners, "Even humans can use magic for a fraction of the time, and whether half of them will be able to do so well enough to use attack magic", so I was generally satisfied with this situation, although I was somewhat dissatisfied.
One winter day Zeth is about to turn sixteen.
There was bad news under Zes, who was teaching smoking.
He was raised as a subordinate of his heart, and a street raider, organized with a young magical auger as his head, was destroyed.
- What do you mean? Those guys....?
The troops consisted of quite skilled warriors, in a sense the tiger boys of Zeth.
He has successfully raided the caravan five times unharmed, and recently took two children from a human settlement (the meat of a human child is soft, sweet, and a terrible treat).
Regardless of the kidnapping, if Zes is not in direct command of the caravan raid, the success rate will be half, and if the non-Augur species were at the center, it would be difficult to avoid our damage.
--Hello, who are you dealing with...?
Zes came to me very quickly.
I'm sure they attacked those dark-skinned carriages.
Even though I was cautious not to reach out to such a human army, I can't suppress the abusiveness towards people smaller than myself....
With a bitter feeling, Zes went to the scene.
Five Augusta bodies rolled on the scene, as reported.
At the same time, there was one human body.
All the bodies have been mutilated without remnant.
We already knew that humans would take an organ called Magic Stone from the corpse.
That's probably why my chest is being cut open.
……
Zes ordered his men to keep an eye on the surroundings and proceeded politely to examine the body silently.
--Is this wound... magic?
Dark-skinned humans are a species called the Dark Elves.
And since there were no signs of being beaten, it was thought that the direct cause of death was the attack magic released by his men.
Several magical wounds were found among the rolling men.
However, there is no judgment as to whether it was fatal.
They all suffered numerous cuts and stab wounds.
--I don't even know if the magic has gone bad... but...
In addition to burns and electric shocks, there are many scratches like stone arrows that can also be used with Zes.
Of course, there are more cuts and stab wounds that appear to be caused by swords and spears.
― ― After taking magic, I brought it into a fleshball battle and lost there. But....
In some cases, he may have been subjected to attack magic during a fleshbullet battle.
"Fufufufu...."
Zes was naturally laughing.
--If there are five trained augers, can you kill one of the dark elves?
After all, my way is not so wrong.
I was delighted to see the results of my first battle against the Dark Elves.
"Kukuku....."
--Sacrifices have been made, but it's not sad at all.Even though she was so cute, it's just that I can't think of anything but dismantling it before the meat gets hurt...
In Augusta's goblins, it was only natural that the deceased companions would be valuable food.
Compared to humans, it is not very good, but Zes has spoken many times before.
Not to mention that all but Zeus sincerely believe that if they fight and eat the dead, they can capture their souls as warriors.
I think Zes is "stupid to believe in an idea that has no basis" for all these people, but I don't dare deny that idea.
After carefully examining Zes' body on his enemy side, many of his men once again aroused various feelings towards Zes.
Years passed.
There were also movements in search of hunting grounds and sampling sites, and Zes was moving much further north than before.
Although the winter climate became harsher, the tree nuts were more delicious in the northern trees, and animals that consumed such nuts as staple foods also often stored fat (Zes believes).
Above all, it is also important to realize that a large number of salmon-like fish come back up the river in the autumn mouth in the northern river.
In addition, the skill of preparing preserved foods has improved, and now preserved foods are entirely left to subordinates.
One day, I put the augers in the land under a new umbrella.
The leader of the Augusta was rare enough to use some magic, but he was not the enemy of Zeus, who had grown up completely.
The leader's wounds, which were broken in pieces, were healed by magic, and Zes, who showed the measurements, was impressed by all of his new men and drooped his head.
It's not unusual now, it's a common sight.
The only difference is that the augers were accumulating treasure.
Orcs and hobbgoblins are used to collecting gems and precious metals, but are rare in Augusta.
Seth, who was intrigued, ordered him to show off his clan's treasure.
I thought it would be jewellery and junk that I couldn't find much value to him, but I was also attracted by the fact that recently I began to wonder if I could trade valuable jewellery and precious metals with people instead of money.
This is a huge step forward, but I don't think Zes has ever cared about it.
The treasure was stored behind the leader's residence.
As expected, most of it was junk.
Of that, there is only one product that has attracted strong interest.
It was sitting on a table decorated like a strange altar.
- What the hell is this?
Human size right arm from the shoulder to the tip.
It looks mummy, dark and discolored, and it looks like the skin is sticking to the bones.
There is still a black glowing nail on the fingertips that seems to have discolored, but the tip feels sharp.
The leader desperately stopped Zeth, who tried to reach for his arm.
Anything, everyone who touched their hands in the past was weakened and died before long.
According to the leader, the arm belonged to the leader of generations and decades ago.
The old leader was betrayed and died by his allies, and he said he had a powerful curse.
--No way, it became a cave of pathogens... so this leader lived here.
Zeus grabbed up his arm, judging it to be a ridiculous, mere legend.
It's still too small to think it's Augustus's arm.
I just gripped it a little harder and it was likely to break.
--It's just a mummified arm after all. It's boring...
The leader was afraid at first, but when he understood that he was not angry at anything, he complimented him on being a brave man.
--Nh... this is...?
Zes was beginning to feel a strange charm in his arms.
And suddenly I understood.
Being chosen as a great being like God.
