The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

Episode 20: Going to the Elf Village

"I'm sorry, Phee. You're the only alchemists I can get out of my association right now."

"... lying!!! You have one more drink!!? Me, I know, hey!!

"… to be there, but must be a manpower capable of attacking the Sixth Labyrinth. Platinum at least. This is something that only Elle and Phee can ask for. In the meantime, I want you to go for an inspection. In the village of Elves."

"In the village of Elves? What does that have to do with anything, Chairman?"

I doubt it. An elf is a kind of subhuman, close to man, but a creature of another race. And such elves build villages near the kingdom of Canovaria. We also distribute supplies on a regular basis, so we are close to our country. But something happened in the village of Elves?

"You know Elf's village and the Sixth Labyrinth are nearby, right?

"Yes."

"Actually, the labyrinth overflows with demons and spiders. Towards the village."

"Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!! Wow!! You're too scared!! 'Cause those spiders over there... they're just giant spiders, right? I'm scared. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

The giant spider Huge Spider, Phee said, is a kind of demon and the normal spider has become enormous. There are twice as many humans. Of course, people eat because of their size. The damage is not zero in the year. But what does it mean to overflow from the labyrinth? The Seven Labyrinths of the World are all things where demons live all the time. I've never heard of overflowing.

"... ok. I'm going to the village of Phee and Elf."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!! I hate spiders. Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

The cry was vain, and Phee ended up going.

§ § §

That night. We were gathered at Phee's house to collate information on the Sixth Labyrinth.

"The Sixth Labyrinth, also known as... Spider's Labyrinth. Many adventurers, and alchemists, have tried, but few survivors..."

"Ugh. Ugh. How can I not be so good to my eyes... no, I don't like spiders..."

"Ah, Phee. There's the spider."

"KHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

"Sorry, lie"

"Ko, I'm going to kill you!!!!!!"

And, well, Fee's dislike of spiders is unusual. He also says it's humanity's biggest natural enemy. I'm mad. Ignore Fee and sort out the material the chairman gave me.

Sixth Labyrinth. It is one of the Seven Labyrinths of the World, which lies ahead of us south of the Kingdom of Canovaria. It is also a famous story that there are also elf villages in the south. An elf is a type of subhuman being, a species that is almost identical in appearance, intelligence, but with different genetic sequences, and a foreign appearance. On a civilizational level, humanity is making more progress, but the sub-humans are also building their own civilization, and there is no subhumanity that is clearly in conflict.

But there are antagonistic beings for mankind and sub-mankind. That's the demon. Demons are low intelligence, but only high intelligence in hunting prey, sometimes eating mankind and sub-mankind. In the Sixth Labyrinth, where we are headed, there is the giant spider Hughespider, a demon.

Huge spider Huge Spider. It's a beetle species demon, about 6 meters long. There are individual differences, but they are roughly that size. Reproduction cycles are the same as normal spiders, but not too many are given birth at a time. For this reason, the overall number of demons is smaller. But by way of exception, the Sixth Labyrinth is dominated mostly by the giant spider Hughespider. They have quite a lot of space in the labyrinth, and hundreds of giant spiders, Hughespider. But it's an unattacked labyrinth, so the whole story is a mystery. I don't even know what's at the bottom...

"Hey Fee. It's a precaution for the giant spider Hughespider, okay? I think it's a good idea to freeze my legs and make them immobile because it could be impossible to do so if it's a flame..."

"Hmm! I don't know Elle!

I turn to Tsung and Soo. Ha, too much...

"I can't do this alone. The total amount of magic is low, and you can never tread on your own. Besides, Fi knows a little bit about the labyrinth, right?

"As it were, well. Sometimes I looked into working patterns."

"Please, I only have Fee."

"Ho, really? You need me? To El."

"Absolutely. Come with me."

"Well, if you want to say so much... eheh"

Hey. Fee has learned lately that it doesn't matter if you praise him. I don't really want to use it, but this time it's a spider. I have no choice.

"So, the giant spider Huge Spider..."

"Why don't you just do what I said? I don't think I can do flames either, I don't know how much output would be nice if it was an electrical system, and the water... isn't practical."

"Whoa. So let's go. For now, the main thing is with ice. And then there's a set of weapons and protective equipment and a backpack. Food and moisture are essential. If you need anything, we can use the metastasis, so I think it's okay, but let's keep in mind."

"Right...... but really heh! I'm really bad at it, so it's nice to meet you when you have to. I'll give you the magic!

"Leave it to me. I don't like spiders."

And the next day, we quickly went to the Elf village to investigate.

"Ha... it's gonna rock."

"Right..."

I am currently traveling by carriage. Basically, alchemy is quite a civilizational level within the kingdom in which it flourishes, but alchemy is not universal either. Because it will always require the intervention of an alchemist. As a means of travel, the carriage was chosen in order to avoid the use of magic, although the transfer was never possible.

Then after a few hours of shaking, we reached the village of Elves.

"I see. Is this the village of Elves..."

Overall, it is green. It is well understood that houses are also built on trees and live with nature. And me and Fee try to go to the office we were asking about beforehand...

"KHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I heard a scream. A little out of the village, but not that far. If this distance is critical, I think I can use the metastasis.

"Fee, we're jumping!!

"Ok!!

And me and Fee will specify the coordinates, and then we'll travel instantaneously with the transfer as it is.

"Ku, don't come!! Don't come over here!!

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh......"

There were two elves there. And around it is a giant spider, the Huge Spider.

I see. Pretty big to see nearby. And with five of them, it's a roll. When I think about it that way, Fee starts to shudder when he swoops.

"HI, HI NO NO NO!!!! What is that!!? Not big!!? I'm bigger than I expected!!?

"Really? I guess so. Speaking of 6 meters long."

"Just do it!! I can't. No, no, no, no!

"... Yes, sir"

Waving with my hands wide open, I immediately freeze the legs of all five spiders in an instant and can't move. The spiders said, "KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! It's ringing," but it's loud, so I stabbed the ice column "Hard" in the brain and it's over. This is what it looks like.

"It's over, Fee"

"Really?

Chill out from behind me and look at the carcass of the giant spider Hughespider.

"Ugh, wow, wow... Elle is as obnoxious as ever. Yeah. Something looks like a single object, that."

Sure, my legs are frozen, and it doesn't even look like a little piece when the ice column is sticking beautifully in my brain.

"Oh, thank you! I am a benefactor of my life!! So... oh, what about you guys? Where the hell did you come from? With so much skill... what if from the kingdom?

Elf men start talking that way, more decently. Fee still says, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," so I decided to deal with it.

"I come from the Kingdom of Canovaria. My name is Elweed Willis. This is Alsfira Medice. I'm Blue Stella, she's a platinum alchemist."

"Platinum Platinum on Bistar Blue Stella!!? I didn't know such a high alchemist would come from the kingdom!! Thanks so much!!

That's how we were led straight to the village chief's place. The village chief says he's in the central office, and that's on the tree. Me and Fee go upstairs without difficulty, and we meet the village chief quickly.

"This is, thanks a lot from the kingdom. My name is Cyril Dunn and I'm the village chief."

This is Elweed Willis.

It's Alsfira Medice.

Me and Fee shake hands with the village chief. Mayor Dan looks pretty young. But the dossier says that he is 60 years old, so it is painful that the elves are still different from the humans. And we get down to business quickly.

"That giant spider Hughespider, is it always at that rate?

"No... I've never been that close to the village"

"When did it first appear?

"Sure, about a month ago? We suddenly got sightings around the village... We have something in our village that can use alchemy, but we can't handle it when there's more than one giant spider, Huge Spider, so we asked the association... No way, I'm comfortable with that Bitstar Blue Stella and Platinum alchemist coming"

"No, I'm afraid so. So... it's a labyrinth, did you explore it?

"No at all. Because our village tells us never to come near the Sixth Labyrinth. Several reckless young people have been there, but there are zero survivors. Besides, if you don't go into the labyrinth, it won't hurt you, so I thought it would be okay..."

"Is that suddenly the emergence of the giant spider Huge Spider? Ok. Tomorrow we'll go investigate."

"... please. And the inn, but my daughter lives alone, but I'm alone in a pretty big house, so use it there. Because I already told my daughter."

"Okay. I'll take care of you."

We go outside when we raise our heads with dust. And is the Phee one okay with that?

Fee, are you okay?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still that sight... thanks for the response, El."

"Oh... well, let's go"

"... yeah"

The village chief's daughter's house seems to be a little outside the big house in this village. He recently left the house, and is 18 years old. Well, let's leave communication to Fee. Walking with that in mind, you arrive right away. When I knocked on the door, an elf beauty came from inside. Yes, a beautiful woman. I'm surprised at this and I open my eyes. No way. So far, the left and right symmetrical, even thinner Cui "Midori" hair is all the way up to her waist, but it hasn't hurt at all. Exactly. That's all I can describe.

"... Um, who is it?

"We were introduced to the village chief. You, Monica?

"Oh! You're the alchemist my father was talking about! Go ahead, go ahead..."

"" Excuse me. ""

When I walked into the house, I had the impression that it was very neat. But less furniture. And a little missing? There is also a part.

"Sorry, I was still fixing it..."

"... hey, Phee, can I fix this on my own?

"The kingdom can't be built on its own by alchemy... Monica, can we fix something else?

"Huh? If I can, I'd like to ask... how many minutes, because there are so many..."

"... then I'll do it. Monica, I just want you to tell me where it is."

"Uh, there, there, there, there."

Collect the first material, Prima Materia, where you pointed it, and I'll activate the alchemy. The density was kept high so that it could be firmly reinforced.

"Huh? Are you done?

"Yes, make sure"

"Really, it's fixed. But the smelting formation...?

"Me and Fee can do it without the smelting team."

"... but could it be Mr. Elweed Willis?

Monica says that with a decent look. Oh, speaking of which, isn't it telling who's coming?

"That's right. I'm Elweed Willis, and this is Alsfira Medice."

"Hi ~"

"Yep, yep, yep!! Aren't they both super celebrities!!!? Such a person is in this village... too awesome and dazzling..."

Apparently, listening, Monica is good at alchemy and wants to go to the kingdom one day to enroll in college. You think being independent is part of that? He said he deserved to know me and Fee as an alchemist.

And meals. Unlike kingdom ones, simple ones. Lots of crops and this is something to look forward to...... a sip of pakri.

Huh!!? This!?? This potato, carrot, cabbage, lettuce, etc. is all grown to a pretty high standard. This is comparable to our farmer!!?

"Ugh... yummy!!! Monica! Where did you grow this..."

"Oh, I'm making it, aren't I? I'm glad it was in your mouth. And Monica is fine, can I call you Mr. El and Mr. Fee, too?

"Also, of course! This is more than that..."

Then I questioned Monica. How vegetables are manufactured, what nutrients are used, harvest cycles, etc.

And that night, it was a mystery that Fee was in a strange mood...
