The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

"Hmm... you want to take a break? Hoole, do you want to rest too?

Interrupting the mining, I spoke to Hoole.

"I don't know yet"

Hoole shook her neck to the side and shook Pickel down against the rock wall.

I guess I want to get the Ascending Demon Stone at all costs and evolve as one heart.

Over the past few days, Hoole has been passionate about mining without rest.

I'm glad to have a fellow mining lover, but on the other hand, I'm worried about my body.

"Oh well. But be sure to come back for lunch. Otherwise, your father..."

"... I know. I'll be back in an hour."

"Must be, huh?

"'Cause it's okay. The princess's rice is delicious, so I won't forget it."

"So is that. Well, you're on your way."

That's what I left behind, and I went back to the entrance to the cave with Ciel of Slime.

Not only does Hoole sound like Cave Spider's Taran and the other demons mine.

As for the break, everyone was doing well for their freedom.

Even without me, there's no problem because the golem that can detect magic is guarding the cave.

If anything, the golem rings the bell to stop the mining.

The bell is made of misril with what Mappa asked me to make. Sounds good.

So I can rest no matter what!

Back to the entrance, there was an old goblin...... Barris and a half-naked mappa.

Barris is leaning large shellfish into a deep plate and pouring mucus.

But you noticed me, you turned to me.

"Oh, Lord Heel! Good luck!"

"Good job Barris too! What the hell are you making?

"Hehe, do you care?

Barris laughed small, showing off the mucus in his deep plate.

I don't know... Barris. Sure, you're a prayer artist.

I have an image of medicine or something that seems familiar to me...

"No way, like poison or something?

"That's Lord Heel! Incorrect!

"Right..."

"This is satan shellfish mucus. It's called shellfish purple. Although only a small amount of shellfish can be picked in normal shellfish, Satan shellfish is picked more shellfish purple than usual."

Shellfish purple... sure, it's a dye that dyes your clothes purple.

It was very precious and a dye used in royal clothing, such as my father and brothers.

"Oh, wow. You use it to dye?

Barris nodded naggingly.

"I thought everyone's clothes were white and a little uninteresting.... than that, do you look so obnoxious...?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"No, it's a little joke. Well, you can make some poison."

I'm relieved to laugh at Barris.

I didn't miss it, but with the burris gap, the neighboring mappa tangled the mucus from the plate with his fingers.

Mappa takes an interesting look at it and then licks it.

"Besides, satan shellfish mucus can be poisonous depending on processing. Ah..."

It was late when Barris noticed.

Mappa will collapse.

"Heh... oh, never mind, I'll fix you with magic"

I put healing magic on Mappa.

But I knew Barris was knowledgeable, but does being able to make poison mean being able to make drugs as well?

This is the opportunity. Let's ask what I was wondering.

"Barris was a prayer man, wasn't he? Did you have the crest?

"Is that you? The seal of the eagle is… [King of Magic]."

"[Magic King] Because?!

I accidentally raised my voice.

[Magic King]... Whoever has this can increase his magic. It was also a powerful crest that you could create powerful magic by lightly handling and combining top magic that was difficult to master.

Those who have this in the Kingdom of Samphales are said to be about seven.

Only one of my brothers.

Sure, just my sister's thirteenth princess, Merliah.

But Barris is a goblin...

"Did you know"

"I can't believe I know... a cleric discerning the crest is such a fussy crest. Kids also say you can't go to magic college without this."

"If you're human, you are... but as you can see, goblins. We don't originally have magic or anything together. So it was a completely meaningless crest."

……

I didn't know how to respond.

I was also born with a crest that supposedly made no sense at all until I caved in, [Cave King].

But in Barris's case, it's more tragic.

Barris continues to mock himself.

"What a fateful prank, I wanted to curse the gods. But when I was younger, I tried my best to use magic when I could get through that with my efforts… now that I think about it, what a joke."

Barris, laughing softly, was somewhere lonely.

I remember the last time Riena, who was originally a goblin, used the Ascension Stone and became like a human being today.

At that time, if it hadn't been for Riena's lifespan, Barris would have said he wanted to use the Ascension Stone...

"Well, thanks to my fierce studies back then, I was able to become a prayer man for knowledge. It wasn't a complete waste."

"Oh well. But with the Ascension Stone... you might be able to use magic."

"That's a thankful story. But I'm done with the eagle. If you say you don't want to use it, it's a lie, but you've lived long enough."

"... but if you get a ton of it, what do you think?

"At that time...... let's just say it's sweet for your words!

Barris laughed and answered me.

It felt like half the talk, and I really didn't seem to expect it.

"Speaking of which, do you know Riena's crest?

"The princess is... [the people]. Of all the royals who didn't farm, they were the only ones who were allowed to mess with the fields."

"Heh. That's why you're so good at building fields"

I see Riena watering happily in the field.

Funny and nosy, how cute.

[People] say they can grow crops faster or grow bigger.

Although the visible effect is almost non-existent.

"It's a crest that the royals didn't think they needed, but this is how it helps now. The gods may have given you that crest, thinking for the princess."

"I guess so..."

I don't believe in gods or anything.

But [Cave King] saved me as a result.

But isn't that too harsh for Barris?

Barris, again, began to remove the mucus from the shellfish.

At that time,

"General!!! Oh my god!!

Yerevan, who changed his blood phase, screamed from the back of the landfill.

"What's up, Elevan?!

I scream my best, but I don't think I hear you.

But when Yerevan said, "Come anyway!!" So I went with Barris to the landfill.

Leave it to Ciel to take a nap.

Offshore sides of the landfill had gathered guard golems and goblins.

Apparently, something has drifted down to the loose embankment area.

When I run over there too, Yerevan waves.

"Admiral! Look!

"Did you adrift something?... What's this?!

It was the brown-green skinned giant that was flowing to the embankment.

With a body bigger than Yerevan's, he was breathless with his eyes slightly open.

One arm is gone, and the leather armor on the chest has a big crack in it.

"Oh, how did the oak get here..."

I said to frighten the whole goblin thing.

This body would certainly belong to an oak.

A body harder than a human being.

Fangs that grow out of your mouth like pigs and big noses stand out.

I've only seen it in books, too, but I've been known for bravery and courage, and recently I've heard them grow in power on the borders of the Kingdom of San Phares.

Sure... Rienas, the goblin homeland was burned down by the oak.

I guess because those who are frightened are well aware of their horror.

"Silly Yarrow! Don't be scared of the corpse!!

"Heh, heh..."

To Yerevan's voice, the goblins regained their composure.

Then the whole goblin thing calls on everyone.

"Heh... Good Lord!! Let's all kick his ass!!

"Oh, it's payback for burning my hometown!

The goblins gained momentum at once and headed for the oak.

Both Yerevan and Barris look complicated, but they don't stop it.

That's all, I guess I have a deep grudge against Orc.

But whoever's dead, I can't watch him kick it...

"Wait! That's right, the corpse kick!

Rin's tense voice echoed from behind, as if in tune with my order.

"Wait! Whose forgiveness do you have and do something unsolicited?!

Me and Goblin, we all look back.

There was Riena.

I've never seen Riena piss off her face like this either, so I was a little surprised.

"By and large, you say what happens when you've already kicked the dead?! Don't you feel sorry for me?!

The Goblin One argues against it.

"But the princess! These guys showed off the body of our clan... the king's body!

"... that doesn't mean we can do the same. Above all, the treatment of those who arrive on this island is determined by the Lord, Lord Heel."

"So, but..."

"Who the hell do we owe this to think we've lived on this island to this day?! Without Master Heel, it would have been sea algae chips by now!

To Riena's voice, the goblins loosened the fist they were holding.

He began to snort even though he looked remorseful.

Riena kneels at me.

"Dear heels, thank you very much for your patience..."

"No... thanks, Riena"

I'm not dignified...

Riena's voice, a substantial leader of goblins, should be louder than anything for them.

"Everybody, I agree with what Riena said. What do you think?"

With that said, the goblins all nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, everyone. Barris, can you ask for their comfort?

Barris nods forcefully.

"If Lord Heel wishes, let's pray sincerely and to the gods for their rest."

"Thank you, Barris. I'm with you... yeah?

I notice countless objects floating offshore.

At that time, my voice rose from a little distance.

"We've got bodies flowing through here too!!

We'll head to the embankment where the goblins screamed.

There were creatures with human limbs on their heads like dogs and wolves.

The whole body was covered with white hair, and this one was scratched on the leather armor he was wearing.

I have a deep wound to my chest, and it's already dead.

Yerevan wipes the sweat off his forehead.

"... these are Cobolts. We are Goblin's natural enemies, and we fought orcs."

"Then... there's a fight near here?

I moved my eyes offshore again.

In the distance, I do see something like smoke, too.

Even some time later, corpses, weapons, and ship wreckage were flowing to the embankment.
