The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Next day

Take 15 adventurers seconded by the Adventurer Guild to visit the scene where they fought Elder Trent yesterday.

Today, with their help, we also collect timber, but everything is temporarily stored in this city and Guild warehouse except for what will be stored in Mr. Rapin's Dimension Home. I was to be transported to Gimru by carriage at a later date.

The reason is simple. There were too many Torrents in place. The adventurers who came seconded were also the first to be surprised, but the total number ranged to more than 1000.

I had to keep knocking them down one after the other because they were getting together more and more, and everyone, including me, was crisp from the guy in the offensive range. And when they all combined, it turned out to be this massive crusade.

So many forest trees were cut down as Trent and I was worried that the forest would be okay, but when I asked the local adventurer the answer came back that it was perfectly fine.

Anything. These forest trees are called "Trigiri” trees, and they are very vital and grow fast instead of having a limited number of places to grow. Whatever its speed, once cut down from the roots, it will be back to normal within six months, and even if seedlings are planted and grown, they will grow to a size that can be harvested as wood within a year.

So I was told that even if trees were cut down like this one, they would be back to normal next year, and there would be no big problem with the city's income, and very few people would come to the back of the woods to this point in the first place.

While I'm satisfied with that explanation, I recall that this was a different world.

It takes six months here to plant seedlings on Earth and turn them into wood. Sometimes the common sense of the earth doesn't make sense...

"Come on, let's get started!

Timber recovery began while tailoring Trent, which is sometimes discovered.

Me and Mr. Rapin go back and forth from the city to the woods when Mr. Asagi and the others collect the wood in one place and get the wood stuck in the dimension home.

Piston transport by manpower and magic, roughly around 3 p.m., completes the timber recovery operation. Finally, to get you ready to accept the timber, ask my store to fly Ains and contact Giml's Adventurer Alliance.

Now that we have a paragraph on Trent wood, the adventurers who helped us recover the wood went back to the city.

But we still have one job to do.

"Well... you're the last big guy"

Dismantling and retrieving Elder Trent.

The content of the request received in Giml is the procurement of wood in Trento. Elder Trent is not eligible.

In this case, the material can be whatever the hunter wants, but asking the Adventurer's Guild for logging and hauling will make the asking fee self-sufficient. But the Elder Trent material is first-class as the material for the Wizard's Wand. Talking about selling it at a high price if it flows to the market, there is no need to throw it away. That's why we collect this Elder Trent. It's going to take a lot of work because it's a lot of minutes.

"It's my last job. Let's get this over with."

Mr. WellAnna brought up Nata. The first thing to do is to drop the branches. Climb a pre-prepared ladder and branch, but this elder trent also has branches in a position that is too grown to reach with a ladder.

You will be in charge of the position where the ladder arrives, and I will be in charge of the branch of the position where I cannot reach it.

The tools used are tough ropes made by knitting sticky slime threads and metal slimes that have been deformed into hook nails and body fixing fittings.

First, make a ring and knot at the tip of the rope, and if you stick to the metal slime gutterly, complete the hook rope. Swing it around and build momentum, set your aim and throw.

The hook rope flew exactly as it was intended and wrapped around a thick, firm branch.

I try to pull the rope a few times, but I'm not even scared. There seems to be no problem with strength.

Use the rope to climb up and cut off the surrounding branches one at a time with a windcutter from precisely the distance you can aim at. Just change the place and repeat the same thing when there are no more branches you can drop around.

I think it would be easier if I knocked him to the ground first, but it seems that the branches are more suitable for the cane than the trunk, and if I cut him down first, the branches will break because of it, so I can't help it.

As a result of the silent continuation of the work, I managed to complete the task of dropping the branches by the end of the day. Turn the rest tomorrow. Whatever goes up and down the tree once or twice, I got tired of boulders after repeated it over and over.

Next day

Yesterday was followed by the recovery work of Elder Trent.

The branching is over, so today will be the task of digging back the roots and chopping them off...

"Gentlemen! Come here for a moment!

An unexpected situation occurs.

As I was digging my roots with earth magic with Earth Slime, a large number of crates emerged that had decayed and collapsed prototypes directly beneath Elder Trent.

"What's wrong with you?

"Is something wrong?

"It's like there's something buried here. Here."

"Is this... a crate?

"There's a lot of them."

"Why is this stuff buried?

"In the meantime, take some out and look inside"

Mr. Rapin, who mentioned it, carefully collects the box and opens it.

Looks like there's a ton of white, cloudy colored stones in there.

"What is it?

"You're a demon stone. It is also used. The Demon Stone is as clear as a crystal while it has magic, but it becomes more and more cloudy in the process of losing the magic inside. These... are all completely empty."

"... looks like you should tell your guild this"

"My life is going to tell them. Can we all keep digging and checking?

Without objection from anyone, Mr. Rapin moves to the city.

We'll retrieve the other boxes and open them one after the other. Then most of them were packed with used demon stones. But there are also small amounts of demon stones that have not been completely exhausted, but they remain, and demon stones with no and dark attributes were discovered.

And it also turns out why there was so much demon stone here.

"I'm back. Is it the same?

"Hi. Me, I was dispatched by the guild...... Hih!?

I guess the woman Mr. Rapin brought in tried to say hello. But I even saw what was at our feet for it.

You'd be surprised to see it unprepared. Because it's a human body...

"Oh, what's that?

"It was buried with these boxes"

The body had decayed, but for a few bodies that, from the skeleton, appeared to be men.

"I left a little of my belongings"

"Thank you......"

"Are you all right?

"I'm fine with injuries and blood... I'm a little bad at corpses in these conditions... sorry, can you help me a little..."

When I changed possessions with her that made her pale, the body from the book that was in it was the Demon Stone Merchant. It was also found to belong to an illegal merchant who smuggled or sidelined it. Looks like this massive demon stone was their commodity.

I don't even know if he was trying to make a deal in the back of an invisible forest, or if it was a stash of smuggled goods, but Elder Trent grew and gigantized by absorbing the massive demonic stone magic that was here.

And it is likely that the magic of the Demon Stone was used to create a massive amount of Trent, which could even be used for dark magic. It is presumed that Elder Trent's failure to move this scene could not have been accomplished with a large number of boxes containing demonic stones.

"Thank you for your cooperation. You may continue your work now, so long!

Looks like we're done checking the situation rather than investigating… She walked away from this place to escape.

Drop that back off and get back to work.

Cut the overturned Elder Trent with an iron slime and metal slime saw and store it in my dimension home. This brings us to the end of what we need to do in this city... because of the last thing we found, our accomplishments are subtle.

So...

"Shall we drink today?"

Together with the subtle atmosphere wiping away, it was decided to lightly launch the work to this day after dinner. The venue is my dimension home.

"We still have the road to Giml, but we were able to secure enough Trent material. This request may be seen as accomplished. One thing tonight, don't swallow. Cheers!"

Cheers!

He starts drinking at the tone of Mr. Asagi's toast and puts his hand on the knob in front of him.

Today's knob is tempura.

They used to pick mountain vegetables in the woods where we were hunting Trento, and they sold a lot in 800 houses in the city.

I didn't know anything about tempura except Mr. Asagi, but he seemed interested because I was serving a little Japanese food on my journey to this city.

It should be noted that, surprisingly, people in this country are less likely to eat fried food.

"I think I normally sold fries and stuff at the Founding Festival before this."

"It's not like there isn't... Look, fried food really disposes of tons of oil, right? I hear it's bad for you if you spend it around again and again, and then it costs you a little money and you don't have any body."

"Besides, if you're not familiar with the cooking method, it's a fire. So that kind of food is something to eat at a festival."

That's why people tend to be distant in the general household...

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think you have any more oil, but I'm pretty sure you'll have more oil to use. Besides, the use of oil around me is not good for my body because the oil oxidizes... in my case, I just need to separate oxygen from the oxidized oil by alchemy, so I think I can use it around as long as the oil itself isn't dirty.

... or if only oil is separated, dirt can also be removed. Now, I have a lot of hands on juice and oil and cooking in alchemy, but am I correct in my use of alchemy? Well, I'm not willing to stop because it's convenient to be wrong.

"Steady, the rheumatic slime is really changing."

"It's not strange that slime is an omnivore or a drink..."

"You're definitely tasting and drinking, right, with your knobs"

Yeah. Actually, in addition to a total of seven guys and four women, including me, this launch has one of my slimes mixed up.

Ever since I gave Yale before, this slime that I used to hang out with for dinner because I stopped by to say I was having dinner was jumping into the liquor in a vessel and drinking it all at once, just like any other slime would drink water at first.

But these days, I've been using the slime-only pork mouth that I made, and I'm slowly drinking it to suit me.

They pour me out when I run out of alcohol these days, and I eat knobs.

As I told you all about it, the slime suddenly began to tremble.

"Whoa, no way"

"What's wrong with you?

"Slime has begun to evolve"

"What!?

... definitely. We are beginning to evolve. When I tell you that, your gaze is focused on the slime.

And like other slimes, the slime evolved by repeating the release and absorption of magic for about 10 minutes.

"... you've stopped moving."

So, the evolutionary slime...

drank slime

Skills Alcohol Generation Lv4 Disease Resistance Lv3 Digestion Lv5 Absorption Lv1 Division Lv1

Protecting: Protecting the God of Alcohol Techn

... Wait a minute. I was drinking, and the name Drank Slime is good. It is convincing that brand new skills will also generate alcohol. Because I can definitely tell it's caused by alcohol. But why are we getting techno protection here? Can you give Slime protection?

... Well, let's ask Techn one day. Check out the magic you prefer for now...... darkness, water, trees.

That's where Mr. Rapin called me.

"Lyoma, what happened?

"Oh, yeah...... something, drank slime is slime. I have the skill of generating alcohol. I thought maybe you'd spit out alcohol."

"Another unusual slime, eh?

In the meantime, I'll put out a new vessel and show you my alcohol generating skills. Then, as expected, I smelled alcohol from the liquid the drank slime spit out.

As a result of the appraisal, the alcohol content was about 40 and it appeared harmless to the human body, so I will try it. but...

"Phew... alcohol, then. Just..."

"Just?"

"It's just strong and tasteless"

It doesn't taste particularly good because it doesn't taste or smell. Maybe you should soak the fruit and turn it into fruit wine instead of drinking it as it is. Let's take a look at this.

With that in mind, today ended with another toast to Slime's evolutionary celebration, enjoying the booze and knob.
