Chapter 84

Even though I gathered the pool gra.s.s for Sara's request, I didn't know that there were various gra.s.ses growing in this forest.

However, at present they seem to have been used for the "Demon Killer Drug" by the Church.

"For the time being, since it absorbs magic, should I see if I can add an inclination to the magic power it absorbs?" (Hibiki)

Though with its current nature it was dyed with nothing but dark or light, I decided to test it out in environments that only had magic of certain attributes.

To be honest, I wanted to make a greenhouse, but I gave up because I was unable to prepare transparent vinyl or gla.s.s.

So instead I dup up a mortar-shaped hole, cultivated a field in the dip, and then poured magic into that hole.

I don't know whether magic power has a weight or not, but to begin with, if it was lighter than air, the ground wouldn't have any magic power.

For the time being, I cultivated fields for 【Fire Magic】 and 【Wind Magic】, then I left the management to the Goblin Mages.

Even though any magic was okay, but as the pupil of the "Flame Whirlwind" I had an attachment to these two.

I gave them the Stardust Pendant to avoid them running out of magic power.

Next, I made fields for 【Dark Magic】 and 【Light Magic】. I will manage them directly.

I poured all of my magic into the hole for now.

The hole for 【Light Magic】 emitted a white haze, as for the hole of 【Dark Magic】 it emitted a black haze.

"After this, is the remaining dark pool gra.s.s?" (Hibiki)

Speaking of medicine, it's time for this person (?) "Book of Wisdom"'s turn.

[Hmm, so it's pool gra.s.s? There is no way that this can be material for the "Demon Killer Drug".] (Book of Wisdom)

"I already know about that. Please give me some other info. If possible, those which doesn't become the material for that." (Hibiki)

[It seems that pool gra.s.s was used as a drug in the rituals of the Evil G.o.d Religion. Aside from that, it can also be used as a drug to make monsters stronger.] (Book of Wisdom)

There were several survivors from the Evil G.o.d followers. Let's ask for their cooperation to fully explain the details about this later.

[There is also a story that you can acquire magic if you infused said magic into it and drink it.] (Book of Wisdom)

That was kind of interesting. I would be happy if I could control the magic that the Goblin Mages acquire.

"That story, please explain it to me in detail." (Hibiki)

[Even if that was said, pool gra.s.s does not grow in ordinary places, so if someone consumed pool gra.s.s that wasn't grown in a special environment, there won't be any effect.] (Book of Wisdom)

As expected, if it was partial to the environment, the leaves were also likely to have the property to store elements other than dark and light.

I will put my expectations on that field.

Based on the information from "The Book of Wisdom", I went to talk with the captured man who was in charge of administrating the ritual.

In addition, I was taught various suspicious medicines such as a drug called "Mental Deformation Medicine".

As I thought, this pool gra.s.s that had absorbed dark magic seems to be frequently used for those kinds of drugs.

"Zombie Medicine", when it is sprinkled onto a corpse, would revive it as a zombie.

Changing a human into a monster, "Demon Drug".

If you drank "Night Dew of Suffering Death", on that very night you would expire in agony as your body became dew.

Although, I do know how to make various medicines, it seems I could only make "Mental Deformation Medicine" easily for now.

And also, it was impossible to try it on a villager because the monster who would drink it would die after a while it seems.

"Mental Deformation Medicine, I wonder if there are any side-effects to it?" (Hibiki)

I pa.s.sed the materials to Amy for the time being and asked her to make the "Mental Deformation Medicine".

=====

Mental Deformation Medicine +4

Effect

If you let a monster drink it, it will gain a form and power beyond their ability.

=====

From there they were further separated by composition with 【Sorting】.

=====

Enhancement Drug +4 (Dark)

Effect

Increases a monster's status temporarily.

=====

Miraculous Drug+4 (Dark)

Effect

If you let a monster drink it, its hidden power will manifest.

=====

The Mental Deformation Medicine will forcibly strengthen a monster's power further by taking another form, so the monster will likely die after consuming it.

I immediately made the monsters in the forest take the Enhancement Drug and the Miraculous Drug to see the results.

For the Enhancement Drug…

Orc Level 13 ➝ Level 15 (Will return to normal in about 1 hour)

Orc Level 32 ➝ Level 38 (Will return to normal in about 1 hour and 30 minutes), etc.

As for the Miraculous Drug…

Orc ➝ Orc Leader

Skill 【Commander】 obtained

Ogre ➝ One-horned Ogre

Skill 【Roar】 obtained

I tried it out on a couple of them, but Enhancement Drugs were effective on all the monsters that I tested, but the duration was uneven among them.

I tried the Miraculous Drug on around 10 of them, however on only 2 of the monsters was it effective.

It seems it won't be effective if they don't have any special power to begin with.

Since there was no side-effect appearing after taking them, if there was a quant.i.ty of them I want to distribute it to the goblins in the village, but because I had used a large amount of pool gra.s.s, I need a stable supply of it.

After I finished observing the monsters, I helped with the goblins' tactical training.

I ended up becoming stuck with the peerless Minotaro who I had brought to look over them just to be sure.

"Minotaro is so strong." (Hibiki)

"I'm grateful for your praise." (Minotaro)

I chatted with him while was.h.i.+ng the blood that had spurted all over Minotaro's body from him kicking monsters about with 【Water Magic】.

"I want to do something about your equipment as well." (Hibiki)

The equipment of Minotaro was still the same as when he was in the labyrinth. Worn-out leather armor with traces of the ballista attack and the fight against Selva.

However, since Minotaro had 【Self-regeneration】, I have been postponing it with all my will.

"I, I am still alright. Thank you very much for your concern." (Minotaro)

I had obtained the raw materials from the ogres, so it would not be a bad idea to make Minotaro’s "Goblin Transport" uniform too.

But for now, I want more quant.i.ty than quality. If we increase the number of regular transports by two, it will be hard with our current members.

If that was so, I may have to circulate the uniforms to the goblins.

It was troublesome. Should I rather prepare different equipment for Minotaro?

"Yup, I guess I'll go hunting the surrounding ogres, there seems to be a considerable amount of ogres in the wilderness." (Hibiki)

"If it's you boss, I'm sure you can hunt them easily." (Minotaro)

"Well, looking for them is kinda difficult, I wish I had a search for enemy based skill." (Hibiki)

"Let's have Aniki's group help." (Minotaro)

It was the goblins he was calling Aniki. Well, he was a newcomer so it wasn't wrong.

By they way, he treats the vampires as his contemporaries so he called them by name.

"No, they have work to do, I also want to avoid mobilizing them without Lalu around." (Hibiki)

"That's right, Lalu aniki was on business trip after all." (Minotaro)

They would have likely already arrived at Bureto as scheduled. They would be back in about a week, and that's including their length of stay there.

"As soon as they come back, the newcomers are estimated to increase again. Wasn't it nice being a junior." (Hibiki)

"Am I also a senior? I'm getting nervous." (Minotaro)

He was a delicate guy even though he has a huge body.

As we were returning to the village it was noisy for some reason. There seemed to be something going on.

Minotaro and I exchanged looks and we decided to hurry back to the village.
