Chapter 126 – Artifact (3)
“And… I don’t know about you, but some branch leaders are talking about whether it would be a good idea to make you the next branch leader. I previously brought up the idea of selecting qualified people from among the dispensers and raising them to become the next branch leaders. I’m not the only one who wants to retire, so thanks to that, there are already candidates for branch president. You are there too. “There are not many people who know that you are my successor.”
I thought perhaps that was something Lilith was preparing to appoint me as her successor.
Rather than putting myself forward all of a sudden, there will be less backlash if I lay down the work step by step and leave out the nuance that I was preparing for it.
I guess I was doing a lot of work without even knowing it.
I always told her to pay attention to my star rating and other things, and I knew that Lilith was also working hard to make me her successor.
This time, I went to Shi-Lasgal for that reason as well.
Should I say that it feels like an unreasonable achievement and that I have solved something that was a problem for the branch.
Anyway, I know that I’ve become the best in this town in various things without even realizing it, but I have no idea what they’re calling all these dispensers for.
So I asked, and Lilith came up with a completely strange story.
“You remember the dimension crash that happened last time, right?”
“Last time?”
As I searched my memory, I was able to recall the dimension crash that occurred the last time I met Aileya.
I remember waking up in the middle of the desert, and nothing much happened…
“Why is that?”
“The guys who came over there seem to be quite successful.”
What.
What kind of race did they come across again?
There wasn’t much news, so I thought nothing had happened, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
On the contrary, seeing as the world government was keeping information tightly hidden, I felt like things were going to be bigger than I thought.
However…
I still couldn’t figure out what that had to do with the reason the world government was calling me, a dispenser.
Soon, I would find out.
“From there, there are three conditions for the world government. Maintain the safety and autonomy of their people and country. Let them take away the ‘curse’ that is placed on them. And, it’s a man.”
“…A man?”
I wondered if I had heard something wrong.
“Okay, man. It seems that the world there was in the process of destruction. “It appears that all the men have disappeared due to an unknown curse.”
“…Uh, is that safe?”
If I go and fall under that curse, I’ll lose my benefits and just go to sleep and hit the dispenser.
“Don’t worry about that. It’s not a curse that is particularly life-threatening. They say it’s just a curse that prevents men from being born. “It looks like most of the curses have already been weakened when we come over here.”
Well then, that’s a relief.
No, but what kind of curse is that?
The curse of not being born as a man was a curse that seemed so dull and non-existent, but in fact, it was a fatal curse that inevitably led to the end.
I don’t know what I did to spread such a curse to the world.
When catching something like a demon lord, did you catch it by stepping on its dick…?
So the demon king got so angry that he told all you bastards to die and put a curse on the world where men would never be born and committed suicide?
That can’t possibly be the case.
Anyway, curses aside, I couldn’t understand how a country that was ruined due to lack of men had the guts to put all the conditions against the world government, which had unified the entire world of more than a dozen worlds.
“I guess I went a little too far?”
The only thing I can think of is that the number of people who crossed over was so large that it was difficult for the world government to deal with it right away, so I thought it was because Lilith shook her head and said at my words.
“The population is small. Roughly a few thousand? It seems that it has been ruined by a curse for quite some time, so the number of people left alive seems to be only a small number. Because there were no men, the population would have continued to decrease over time. In fact, it seems too much to call it a kingdom when there are only a few thousand people.”
I thought it was because more than tens of millions of people came in at the same time, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, and I was wondering what the hell was going on, but Lilith continued.
“But… Those thousands seem to be quite strong. No, it would be more correct to say that he survived that much because he was strong. “Almost all of those who did not go beyond this level would have perished from the end of their lives.”
Well, unless they are a species that lives long enough to be called a long-lived species, they will die of old age in 100 to 200 years at most.
If you don’t want to do that, you have to learn martial arts or magic to reach a level where you can be called a superhuman.
I thought they could be strong because they were survivors who survived a world that wasn’t nearly ruined, but was truly ruined.
“No, how strong is it?”
But I was curious how strong it was that the world government, which forcibly oppressed and subjugated most kingdoms, compromised by accepting its conditions, Lilith said.
“From what I heard, they were all master-level necromancers.”
“…What?”
Necromancer.
Necromancer.
And, a one-man army.
These beings are also called that.
There are not just one but thousands of such necromancers?
“Well, I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? “Is that possible?”
“I don’t believe it either, but the report says so, so why?”
If the report said so, it is acceptable.
By the way, there are thousands of necromancers…?
The dangers of necromancers were already well known when various races were fighting fiercely.
There was a time when I thought that the world was going to hell during the three-day “Night of the Dead” Incident, in which necromancers single-handedly raised hundreds of corpses and advanced on them.
Although it ended in a bloody disaster, the fact that the corpse rose up and attacked the living was so terrible that I still remembered it because it had such a strong impact.
“…Isn’t that dangerous?”
At that time, the world government had not yet been established, but it was already a time when the twenty-two heroes were in full swing, and the impact was so great that the aggro was also considerable, so the necromancers were quickly subdued before they could attack a single city.
Considering that all the necromancers from various levels of the world had committed such an act even though there were only a few hundred of them in total, I thought that a kingdom made up of over a thousand necromancers, and at least those necromancers, would be extremely dangerous.
And as if I guessed right, Lilith nodded and said.
“It’s dangerous. A master-level necromancer would be able to raise thousands of bones by himself. Even sturdy knights can raise dozens of them. If there are thousands of such necromancers… In fact, it would mean that there are hundreds of thousands of command troops. If you think about it that way, you could call it a kingdom. Well, it might be the kingdom of the dead.”
Lilith shrugs and says that.
I thought he was being too nonchalant, but Hoa-ran, who was listening to the story next to me, said that I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
“A country made up of things like that. What’s more, are you saying you want to send Hanzo to a place like that?”
That’s what I wanted to say.
The necromancers I knew were such terrible bastards that they were completely destroyed in just three days and remained in my memory as they were struggling to survive the war.
Not only did they raise corpses and attack the living, but they were full of necromancers who raised the corpses of people they had killed and stuffed them into them. I was so scared that I had to go to a place where there were thousands of such necromancers.
They say it’s a world where all the men are gone and only women are left, so they probably don’t fuck corpses, but on the contrary, there might be a lot of bitches who get fucked by corpses.
No matter how much I did, I had no intention of sticking my dick into a pussy that was stuck in a corpse.
What if I get sick then?
“…Hoaran, it’s not what you think, so don’t worry. “The necromancy that developed in that world seems to be a bit different from what we know.”
What’s different?
After all, it’s a necromancy, and I thought the necromancers who learned it were crazy, perverted psychopaths who got excited about raising corpses, but Lilith said.
“Unlike those gloomy corpse bastards who ran amok before, necromancers seemed to play a role similar to priests in that world. Rather than being a type of warlock who raises the dead, attacks the living, or plays with corpses, should I say that he feels like a priest who relays words that the dead could not leave behind during their lifetime… Actually, the karma value seems to be close to the line. .”
“What is karma…?”
I think I heard that somewhere.
“…Do you remember what her mother told her before? “She said that even if she dies, her will, especially her resentment, will remain.”
Seeing me tilting her head, Ho A-ran said that, and only then did I remember.
It seemed like she had heard that it was a remorseless thing to cling to a bastard who had done something that earned others resentment.
On the other hand, did she say that even when she shows kindness to others, the opposite feeling comes from it?
In fact, even if you carry around her thoughts, you will not be cursed or unlucky, but I have heard that the accumulated thoughts are gradually clouding the soul.
“But was there a way to measure it?”
“Excellent magicians can use it, but even if they aren’t, it can be done if it’s a famous Taoist monk or priest. And…”
Hoaran glances at Justitia.
When I looked at Justitia under Hoaran’s gaze, Justitia yawned and said, “Ham.”
“I made something a while ago… A tool to measure how polluted the soul is. “I just made it to kill time, but I heard that it is used to find out the tendencies of new people.”
It seems that Justitia created a magic tool to measure karma or something.
Since Justitia makes all sorts of things, including dressings made from semen and slime onaholes, I naturally understood that she had made a magic tool to roughly measure karma and all.
“…Anyway, it’s hard to believe that people who are clean and have no accumulated karma are necromancers, but if that’s really the case, isn’t there nothing to worry about? But why was your expression so bad?”
Judging from Hoaran speaking like that, it seems like there’s nothing particularly dangerous, but I was curious as to why Lilith seemed so uncomfortable from earlier, so I looked at Lilith. Lilith sighed as she looked at me and Hoaran.
“…It’s because of the period. “I heard that if you go there, you have to stay at least a week.”
Uh, why is that?
I wondered if there was some great reason, but I was puzzled because it wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought.
The only thing that bothers me is Justitia, who wouldn’t do anything without my semen, but that would be fine if I prepared some semen in advance to last for a while.
Lilith and Hoaran will be there, so hopefully when I come back I won’t find Justitia all dried up or anything like that.
But, looking at me like that, Lilith continued.
“You think that idiot won’t cause an accident when he’s been away from us for a week? No, even if that guy doesn’t get into an accident, he’ll probably get caught up in something strange.”
Lilith said that as if I was inviting disaster.
“…Indeed, that is a big deal.”
But I saw Hoa-ran nodding his head at Lilith’s words.
“Hoaran Maman…?”
When I looked at Hoaran like that, he said.
“I don’t agree with everything Lilith said, but isn’t it true that you are especially prone to accidents, Hanzo?”
No, that’s true.
Hoaran, who said he didn’t agree with everything Lilith said, looked at me like he was looking at me as a mischievous kid who came back hurt on a bad day when I went out somewhere, so I don’t know how to say how I felt, but it was like that.
But I thought it was sad that Hoaran and Lilith had experienced so many things that they had no choice but to think that way, so there was no way to refute it.
On the first day I was separated from Lilith, I got attacked by some crazy girl, and on the day we all went out together while lounging around at home, I got attacked.
Besides that, if you take into account all the little details, each day was actually full of variety.
There were a lot of cases where I would have died if Hoaran hadn’t helped me or if Lilith and Hoaran hadn’t been by my side.
Thanks to this, I became anxious for no reason.
“Then you refuse? Then…”
“It won’t be good. At least, public opinion that it would be a good idea to make you the branch leader will disappear. It won’t matter, but everything I’ve prepared so far will be useless.”
That’s a bit weird.
I don’t know what on earth she was preparing, but I don’t think the work Lilith had been doing to make me her successor, step by step, should be thrown away just because she was worried that something might happen.
“On the other hand, if you play an active role this time too… No matter where you sit as the branch leader, no one will be able to say anything. That’s why I said I didn’t know if I was lucky or bad.”
Then refuse further.
“…If you’re that worried, you can at least create another artifact and catch it, right? “I have a hoa that Hoa-ran made, and if I give you another one for self-defense, there won’t be any problem if something happens, right?”
As I was thinking about whether this might be a good thing, Justitia said that.
“Uh… Is it possible to create an artifact that quickly?”
“How long does it last?”
It’s two days later.
When I said that, Justitia shrugged her shoulders and said,
“It’s two days, that’s no problem. All you have to do is get a little less sleep. “If you have enough ingredients, you can make two or three.”
Uh…
Was an artifact something that could be made so easily?
The body checker that I am wearing right now, an artifact made by Justitia, is ridiculously expensive, and I know that other mass-produced body checkers are also quite expensive.
Even with mass-produced products, I felt like my common sense was being broken when Justitia said that she could make two or three pieces in two days.
“…You don’t have any ingredients?”
“You can just use what I saved for your own use. Hoa-ran, maybe I could use some of your tail feathers… And some of my scales, too?”
“…I am?”
“Lilith, if I use your material, the proper artifact won’t come out, so no.”
Justitia says that clearly.
Well, I couldn’t even imagine what would come out if I used Lilith, a succubus, as the material.
It looks like an artifact that will make you ejaculate will pop out just by touching it.
Anyway, the story seemed to conclude with Justitia saying that she would make a few self-defense artifacts and give them to me.
Artifact…
“Uh, can I use this as an ingredient too?”
I forgot, but I happened to have some, though I don’t know if I should call it material.
As I searched inside my chest and held out the fangs I pulled out from Shi-Rasgal, I saw the three demons looking at me.
In particular, Justitia said with sparkling eyes when she saw my fangs sticking out.
“…Lamia’s fangs? It also has poison glands. “This definitely has a lot of uses, but…”
It looks like it can be used.
I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
“Then please write this too.”
It seemed like a good idea, so I decided to use Sh-Rasgal’s fang as a material for the artifact.
I got it anyway, so I can use it however I want, right?
“…What’s the fuss about letting things go naturally? “Where did that come from?”
Come to think of it, I haven’t said anything yet.
I told him roughly what happened with Sh-Rasgal.
After some reason, when I told the three of them how I received the fangs, unlike Justitia, who was about to say yes, I saw the faces of Hoaran and Lilith becoming increasingly hard.
Uh…
I think something’s messed up.
“You… I remember that’s not what I asked you to do?”
“Hanzo…? Even if the child named Sh-Rasgar committed the mistake first, that doesn’t mean pulling out his fangs is…”
I heard a lot of nagging from both of them.
