FLFO Chapter 66

HmmI cant just wait and hunt people at the gate of the Starter Town, or do some other devilish act, and its difficult for me to die here.

If light was still my weakness, I could have died by disabling my auto-recovery.but thats impossible now.

Mmmmmm.? Maybe now is the time to use my personal BBS thread? The people there might be willing to die a little.

Ill ask three people to cooperate and offer a reward of 20,000 each.

Then, please come help me out with this quest.

Oh, that was quick. I got a catch.

Sophie-san. Well meet at the north gate, so lets stop by the Union first, then head over there.

Hmm.

After picking up the 60,000 reward money, I head to the north gate.

It looks like they have already gathered. That was fast.

Thank you very much.

Leave it to me!

All three have deposited their money at the Union and are equipped with the starting equipment, which has no durability.

Although it is the initial equipment, it will still take some time to lose to a rabbit.Is it faster to have Princess attack?

That means.

Come on!

One at a time.

Okay!

I dont know why they are so excited, but Ill send them off one by one.

Accompanied by Sophie-san, I defeat all three.

HmmmI understand. Then the material should be.

Research and development of resurrection potions for Outsiders

I was able to attract the interest of a living legend, Sophie Lilywhite.

It might be a good idea to give her the items she wants, and get in her good graces.

1. Deliver a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better.

2. Show her the scene of an Outsiders death three times.

3. Collect and deliver the specified items.

Condition: Negotiate with a Resident capable of making a resurrection potion.

Completion Reward: Recipe for Resurrection Potions for Outsiders.

Crystal Lotus, Water of Recollection and Holy Punica? All Nether materials I have these on hand.

Did you make progress?

Yes, thank you. Ill give you the reward.

Its a simple job. Getting 20,000 for just dying once.

Its pretty crazy for the Residents, though.

I gave 20,000 to each of the three who returned from death, and then moved on with Sophie-san.

The destination is Ah, is it Megan-sans shop?

Im here

.So you came. Did you find something bothersome again.?

Why are you looking at me with pity in your eyes, Master?

I need your knowledge of alchemy

What you bring me is nothing but trouble.

Ive established an alchemy recipe for a resurrection potion for Outsiders. Nice to meet you.

Apparently, Sophie-san will do the mixing , and Megan-san will do the alchemy.

Master is sighing, but seems like shell do it.

Come to the church in the evening

Got it.

Research and development of resurrection potions for Outsiders

I was able to attract the interest of a living legend, Sophie Lilywhite.

It might be a good idea to give her the items she wants, and get in her good graces.

1. Deliver a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better.

2. Show her the scene of an Outsiders death three times.

3. Collect and deliver the specified items.

4. Contact Sophie in the evening to receive the finished product.

Condition: Negotiate with a Resident capable of making a resurrection potion.

Completion Reward: Recipe for Resurrection Potions for Outsiders.

Hmm. Now all I have to do is receive it.

In the evening.is that after 9pm real-time? Then I should collect it before going to bed.

I left Megan-sans shop and now.what should I do until dinner?

Right, I think Ill just do more production today and bring in some money.Oh..no, lets call King Woofwoof and do some studying. Mm, thats a better idea.

Is it possible to call him from a mini-statue after moving back to the palace?

King of Tindalos, please teach me your language.

He came.

You want to do it?

Yes, until the body on the other side is ready to eat.

Very well.

We will move from the mini transfer statue to a room in the detached palace.

During the transfer, the maids were waiting to the side with their heads bowed. Perhaps because of the presence of King Woofwoof, but they look sharper than usual.

Then, the King of Tindalos begins his class on Ancient Divine Linguistics.

By the way, lets hear about him in this world.

First of all, the setting in the original Cthulhu mythos

King of Tindalos and the Hounds of Tindalos. I think even people with only a passing interest in the Cthulhu mythos have heard of them. Theyre at least famous to that extent.

In fact, they are two different species.

Tindalos is the name of another dimension, or another worldIts not clear, but you can think of it as the name of the land.

So, there are two separate entities living in Tindalos, the King of Tindalos and Hounds of Tindalos. Its not that the boss of the hounds is the king.

Although it is called a hound, it only looks like one to humans, but is not an actual dog. Rather it doesnt have a flesh body in the first place.

In other words, King Woofwoof is not correct, but if you care, you lose.

They are said to dwell in the angles of time. Eh? is the impression it gives, but thats the setting. Dont bother trying to understand it, just accept it as it is.

They can appear from corners sharper than 120 degrees, and move through subspace from there.

A human room is basically a box, so it has corners. Thats where the beings of Tindalos can invade from.

The Tindalos have space-time abilities, so in this game they are of the spatial magic type. They have the ability to transfer, though they are limited to corners.

The pattern of contact with them is usually space-time related. When you look into the past or future, or when you move between them. If your eyes meet theirs, they will chase you as someone they will definitely kill.

It seems they will give up, if you are able to fight them off, but that is difficult for a human.Yeah. So that is the state of things.

Now, the problem isStellura-sama. The players have speculated that it is probably Yog-Sothoth, an Outer God of the Cthulhu mythos.

Yog-Sothoth is described as a collection of iridescent spheres, so yesthey are spheres. Its the worse match for Tindalos, which lives in angles.

Yog-Sothoth also has space-time abilities, so he has a hostile relationship with the King of Tindalos. Yog-Sothoth is bent time. The King is pointed time.

But in this world, it seems like a messenger of Stellura-sama.

Other than that.they originally smell like a morgue, and cause nausea around them, but this game does not seem to go that far.

So in this game, there seems to be a land in the Abyss where they live.

Apparently its a paradise, where each race has a space suited to them. Its quite a difference in scale.

So the abyss is extremely wide and very chaotic.

Basically, their abilities are the same, but they are friendly rather than hostile. Not a creature who kills all space-time travelers, but one who kills all contract violators.

Even if they are repelled, they dont give up, and will come back in multiples, or something higher up is dispatched. In a sense it is worse than the original, isnt it?

As for the relationships in Tindalos, there was the Hounds, the King, and then there wasa Tindalos Overlord? The most powerful of the Kings of Tindalos.

King, do you have an individual name?

I do? Mhithrha, is it?

Ah, yes. That was the name of the Overlord, wasnt it? The Overlord himself is teaching the language. Its a bit loose with the details.

.Oh, Im a king too? I suppose I cant say anything about them then.

No matter what they are, its fine if they are friendly. You dont have to pick a fight with them.

In the first place, theyre already at max level. You will be killed instantly.

Well, now that is all clear.lets quietly get on with the lesson.

Is it time for dinner? I will finish up the studying.

Umabout 3 hours? Its half a day in the game. If Ancient Divine Linguistics is at 5, then. I can use the whole day in the game to reach 10?

I feel that the Linguistics system is a percentage rather than a level, so to bring it up to 100.60 real hours? Eh.2 days and 12 hours?

Thinking of it as an MMOIt is not too bad. Ill just take it in stride.

By the way, did you learn Holy Magic?

No. I cant use it on myself or my servants, so even if I did I would have a hard time raising it.

Hmmm. Faith isnt essential, butif you come to this side, you will have more options.

In other words, is it an evolution destination? Please elaborate on that. Its very important, because you cannot go back.

There are different kinds of faith. For specific advice.Yes. Stellura-sama has many faces. Which face would you choose?

Faces? Speaking of faces in this case isOh, I see.

Stellura-sama is the god of light and darkness, of life and death, of time, space and fate, and the god of contracts and condemnation.

Each of these would be a face.

Right.Im curious about space-time and fate, but if I were forced to choose, Id say contracts and condemnation.

Why did you choose it? Can you explain? A firm intention is important.

I see. There is a concrete concept, like I want to keep my promise. Space-time and fate are difficult though, I can barely visualise it.

Hmm, I understand your thoughts. Thats fine. The important thing is to believe that God is watching and act without shame. Put simply, act in a way you can show your parents. You do not have to think too hard about faith.

Even though he looks like that, he says many good things. I think its better to just listen to his voice with your eyes closed.

That being said, what does Holy Magic have to do with it anyway?

This is a matter of internal feelings. This is the inner workings of the mind, while the outer workings of skills, including Holy Magic, are the physical. Both are important for evolution.

I see. You mean I should have the skill, but the level is not important?

Its good to have a high level, but thats right. It makes sense to have them. If you come to this side, you will be able to receive the effect of Holy normally.

Oh, I see.

Oh, but The disadvantage is that other attributes will be destroyed.

You mean I cant use?

Yes. You get a lot of correction for light and darkness, but the others will die. You should think carefully about whether or not you will come here. Sometimes its good to stop and think.

In my case, it would be a maximum correction of light and darkness, and a seal of other attributes. This area seems to change depending on what you evolved from and who you are a believer of.

Ive heard that those who deviate from the truth of the world, reincarnation, are called the Outsiders. So they are not only messengers of Stellura-sama, but also of Sigrdrfa-sama and Harvenshis-sama.

Others depend on the race, but I dont know what will happen to me, so I cant give any advice.

Then I will return.

Yes, please come again.

Mm.

He left from the corner of the room, so I logged out and had dinner. Mom was there today.

Onee-chan!

Hm?

The update is coming.

Okay.

The third batch is coming!

I see. How many people?

I hear they are opening it up unlimited for the whole country.

Oh, is that so?

So, on September 1st, there will be a whole day of maintenance, starting from 6am.

Maintenance ends on the 2nd?

Yeah, it will be over around 6. Something about changing the server. Yamamoto-san will be streaming again to pass the time.

Then I wonder if there will be an explanation there.

Yamamoto-san is in charge, and since he is more of a manager than a technician, it seems that he will be free during the maintenance.As long as things go according to schedule.

Its not easy to bring together a team of such unique individuals, though.

So, its a big hardware update.

It was written that the basic status rating of a race will be written in the flavor text and added into the game.

Hmmwell, I dont think it will be displayed in great detail.

Well, I guess it will be a rough idea

We had a leisurely meal while talking.

Oh, thats right.

By the way, it looks like I can make a resurrection potion.

Eh, eh?

I will spend tomorrow producing it.and I think I will post it on consignment before bed and publish the recipe on the BBS.

Is it Alchemy?

Its either Mixing or Alchemy. A specific Resident gave a quest to make a resurrection potion for Outsiders, and its going to be done before I go to bed.

A quest! Right, you were recruiting on the BBS. You had to die for it.

Maybe the condition was contact with a witch?

There was information that Onee-chan was with a beautiful, silver-haired child. That girl?

Yeah. Shes world-famous and a genius witch with immortality. You have to be careful or you will be socially erased. The level is high.

Immortala legal loli!?

I dont know how old she is, because I didnt ask her.

Cute is justice.

I will also tell you about the names of witches.

Shall I put it on the BBS when I put out the resurrection potion recipe? I feel like it will get a little troublesome if people dont know.

How much will you sell it for? I want it.

Ill discuss the price with Salute-san tomorrow. The price should depend on the materials?

Okay, Ill buy it when its ready.

Well, after we have lunch. But keep it a secret outside of your party, okay?

Dont forget to get ready for school, okay? Its about to start, so get your uniform out.

Fue~Paradise will end in four days

It will be winter break soon anyway.

As Mom said, its time to take it out and remove the tags

After finishing dinner, and other evening activities such as bathing, I logged in to see what time it was.

I went straight to the church and asked for Sophie-san.

Hmm..This is the reward.

I immediately checked the two sheets of paper I received.

<Basic recipe for Mixing [Resurrection Potion for Outsiders] was learned>

<Basic recipe for Alchemy [Resurrection Potion for Outsiders] was learned>

<Quest: Development and research of resurrection potions for strangers has been completed>

I have received it. Thank you.

Ill leave it to you to decide how to handle it. Dont lose it

Yes, Ill leave it at home.

When I brought Holy Punica to the church, I was asked to bring materials for Sophie-san aswell..

Youre ready to live in the church for a while, arent you? Well, theres no problem, if its a normal purchase. Shall I tell the maid the delivery schedule and have her prepare it?

Then I can just bring the things over here.

Ill fetch the others when I deliver Punica.

Thank you.I think Im going to have a good dream.

Okay, good night.

After seeing off a pleased Sophie-san, I immediately went to the palace.

On the two sheets of paper I received from Sophie-san, she wrote: From Sophie Lilywhite Sorciere to Anastasia Atropos Nemeseia as a reward for Moon-Netherlite and I claim acknowledgment as the creator, but sales rights, etc. are transferred.

In other words, it seems that it also serves as a simple contract.

Im the one who made it! But you can do what you like with the rest.

Ill ask the maid who is suffering from the I want a job sickness, to gather materials for me to take to the church.

She must have been dying from having too much free time. Shes already dead though.

In addition, Ill also ask her to collect enough to be used in the Resurrection Potions that I will be making tomorrow.

Its still a little early, but Im going to bed.

Good night.

When I wake up in the morning, I would log inbut today is a day for exercise. I dont want to be lax, so I need to move my body, in moderation.

After exercising and eating, it is time to log in for the morning.

Good morning. The materials have been brought to the alchemy room.

Thank you. Ill let you know if I need more.

Our maids are excellent!

It seems that hired Residents can also harvest fields and the like, but the price differs depending on the skills they possess when you hire them.

I havent asked for them to mine the veins, because that also raises my skill level.

Ill collect from the veins first, then start on production.

Combining Crystal Lotus, Holy Punica and Water of Recollection

AhIt doesnt require magic stones, so the magic control will be difficult, huh? Im planning to make a lot anyway, so Ill get used to it soon enough

[Recovery] Resurrection Potion Rare: Ra Quality: B

Revives the target with 65% HP restored. Only needs to be poured.

The resurrected target can not be resurrected again for 10 minutes in real time.

For Outsiders only.

B, is it. Its a little low, considering the correction. I think an A grade should be about right considering the quality of the materials. Well, if I get used to it, I should be able to do it sooner or later.

Ill make it.

<Alchemycraft reached level 30. 2 Skill Points acquired.>

<Alchemycrafts art [State Change] was acquired>

Hmm, Its gone up? Lets see.

[State Change]

Change the form of an item to either liquid, solid, or gas.

I see, a change of state. It seems like it will have many applications. But Ill look into that later.

I have been mass-producing Resurrection Potions, and the quality seems to affect the amount of HP restored on revival. Perhaps C quality will recover 50% HP.

One quality level is a round 5%, so S+ will be 100% revival? I still cant do S grade though.

Even with A+ materials and using the alchemy room, something seems to be missing. Residents only give the basic recipe.

Since it is a liquid potion, should I make it all liquid from the start? I will try using [Change State].

The ingredients go on the alchemy table, then get liquified with [Change State]

The three spheres are floating above the transmutation circle, so lets start synthesising.

Hmm.This is smoother. Lets try this a few times.

Ill continue crafting while asking for the materials to be replenished.

[Recovery] Bless Potion Rare: Ep Quality: S-

Revives the target with 100% HP restored. Only needs to be poured.

The resurrected target can not be resurrected again for 10 minutes in real time.

For Outsiders only.

Oh? The name has changed.Bless, not Breath. So a blessing, not being breathed on.

Dragons Breath is the latter. This potion is the former.

So S- is 100% recovery. The recovery amount jumped up, but if something else changes after that, perhaps the reuse time will be shortened..

Its 11am, real-time.

Ertz-san, Dantel-san, Salute-san, Primula-san and Nephrite-san are logged in.

Ill contact multiple people.

Oh, why the group call?

I would like to borrow the wisdom of the top players, and Id like to discuss pricing.

Thats rare. Did you get something dangerous?

Well, as Primula-san says, it is kind of dangerous in a sense, isnt it?

I have a resurrection potion. I was wondering how much you would sell it for.

Really!? Speaking of which, if its Princess, then it would be alchemy!

I also have a mixing type recipe for it, that I will pass on to Salute-san.

Seriously!?

I will not be able to make enough on my own. Holding a monopoly is a hassle, so I will share it with you after a one day head start.

I will explain to everyone the flow of events I told my sister, and show them the changes due to the quality of the item and the S grade. Resurrect and Breath.

Oh! S Grade!

All of the materials were A+. They are all Nether products, so it was possible.

What did it use?

Crystal Lotus, Holy Punica, Water of Recollection. This is the recipe.

Lets provide Salute-san with the ingredients. Im wondering if the only requirement for the name to change is quality.

Then Ill come get it now!

Ill be at home.

Okay~

Price, price.What was the market price for those three items?

Those three are cheap, but the quality basically stops at C.

Isnt the production difficulty also an issue?

Right. What was Princesss Alchemy at?

Lets answer Dantel-sans question while Ertz-san, Primula-san, and Nephrite-san talk.

Right.Its not the same as when using magic stones, so its a bit difficult. And I did not reach the S grade until after Alchemycraft became level 30. I dont know if thats a requirement or not.

Hmm

<Salute has come to visit>

After Salute-san arrives, I send her off with the materials brought over by the maids.

I will go ahead and make one quickly.

Higher quality means fewer accidental deaths immediately after resurrection.

Thats right. However, its unlikely to lose half of your health in one instant.

Its huge that you dont need recovery magic immediately after using the item in the middle of battle.

That might be true.

Its a resurrection item that has finally appeared in the game. Its quite a problem.

The cooldown time is rather long, so it would be good if each person had two or three. If you are dying more than that, you are probably not in the right hunting ground.

It can be used as insurance against berserk skills. It is becoming even more useable

Oh, wow! Seriously. I failed.

Is it difficult?

Ive seen it once, so it should be okay. It just takes some getting used to.

Needless to say, the mixing and alchemy systems are quite different. Its impossible to give any advice. Just do your best.

Its written this way, so change it like this.and with this timing.

In terms of materials and production difficultyis it about 600 for C?

Oh, yeah. I would like to investigate the effect of material quality on the finished product, but we can put that off for now

A- ? Because C is 50%, A- is 75%, right? Is it about 850 after raising by 50?

If we adopt Ertz-sans ideaIs it about 1000 for S- ?

Isnt it okay to raise the A and S grades a little more? Its difficult to make, right?

Im sure it will be higher, depending on the effect of quality on the finished product. We dont know the rules around that yet

Nephrite-san has a point.

As Dantel-san says, the rules by which the material quality affects the finished product are still unknown. The Nether materials might be useful for exploring how this works.

Do you want to jump to 1000 for an A with 80% recovery?

[Reproduction] works up to B grade, so I think its okay to raise it from A-?

You want to raise it by 200 starting with B+ Well, 1000. Its pretty tough.

I did not remember it until Primula-san mentioned it, but [Reproduction] had such a rule. I forgot because I rarely use it. It reduces the amount of experience I will get.

In Salute-sans case.C starts at 600, going up to B+ in increments of 50. A- is a jump of 200, up to 1000. A+ is at 1400.

Would you like to raise the S class more? Its a complete revival.

Isnt it okay to raise it? Another 400, for about 1800?

Then is it 2600 for S+ ? Its still S-, so I am looking forward to it. Then I will go with this price and post it on consignment before going to bed for today.

Is it okay if I put it out too? I can delay it for a few days if you want.

No, making the resurrection potion today is enough for me. Please make it. Im sure I will make a lot of money today, and will also add a limit of three bottles per person.

The aim is to spread them around as much as possible. It will sell soon after Princess goes to bed, so I will release it after that. Considering the material procurement and production time, it should still sell well.

Because it is a good item to keep with you. Res-Po will become a regular medicine.

Res-Po is a regular medicine. I understand that very well. Its good to keep some on you for safety.

Well, Princess. We sometimes do things like producer meetings, do you want to participate?

Are you sure? Its not like Im at the top of the list, since my cooking skill has been overtaken.

You dont have to be at the very top to be in the top group. We cant be sure anyway. Whats more important is the materials you are dealing with. Not just cooking, but also alchemy, right?

Oh, I see. The materials are important.

Even though its called a meeting, its really just a tea party.

Because the main purpose is to share information and take a break. Thats it.

We buy and bring cooking items, and show off our new creations and gardens!

Its either Saturday or Sunday, and if someone wants to host one we are informed a week in advance. Of course, participation is not compulsory, so please prioritize real life. The venue is the hosts house.

So youre showing off your gardens.

There is no particular problem with participating. I can cook food myself, and there is no reason to refuse, so lets participate.

Then, lets have Princess join us next time.

Okay~

Princess, are there any jewels in the Nether?

Jewels? If its unique, then theres Moon-Netherlite.

There is? Id like you to sell me some, by all means.

I want it too~! Could I use it for a wand?

Ill ask the maids.

Nephrite-san and Primula-san. They will use them for accessories and magic catalysts.

So you have a maid without needing to hire one.

She looks like she wants a job, so I ask her to gather the materials, and she gets it.

Its a castle after all. Its too convenient.

There is no S grade, so you are on your own there. Other than for water, its quite limited, and thats about it for ease of use.

Its a game, so it cant be helped. If you can do anything, you will run out of things to do.

Well, it makes sense youd get bored quickly if that happened. Its the most fun when you can say you need to do this and that.

So, I asked my master about the Magic Iron, and he said it mostly comes from dungeons.

Dungeons

Dungeons seem to have a high mana concentration. Its easy to get Magic Iron in a dungeon, but its difficult to dive into one and come back alive.

Then, is it treated as a rare ore in this world?

Well, I guess so. It seems to cost a reasonable amount. You need a facility with magic power to process it. By the way, the most famous metal with magical power is Mithril. If you have a lot of money to spend youll be able to use it for many things.

If I increase the concentration.Or even my own level, will I be able to get Mithril from the large vein?

Yeah, Im hoping so too. The large vein does depend on its owner.

What you get depends on your base level and skills, so it should be possible to get Mithril when in the correct range. Lets look forward to it.

Speaking of which, Salute-san

What~?

There are witches in the Starting Town, at the moment.

What!?

Im planning to release the information at the same time as that of the resurrection potion, but Ill let you know first.

Ill pass on the information I told my sister about witches here too.

Sophie-san is unlikely to take a disciple, but it seems that other witches are also coming. Lucianna-san said, Youre here too.

Hmm I wont get a name.

It seems that if you are an apprentice, you wont get a name.

Not because its long but because the apprentice isnt a witch yet? Thanks for the information. Ill try my best.

Ive decided on a price, and Ive said everything I wanted to tell you, so I guess thats about it?

Oh, by the way, Princess, did you exchange your event points?

Ah, there are still some left. There is nothing special to get.

What about housing? There are tea plants, right?

Oh, there was such a thing? I already exchanged for some tea leaves.

You can search for housing by genre.

Really.For black teaFor green tea.And for fruit and herb saplings too?

Be sure to spend them if you have leftover, as they will disappear.

ll do that. Lets hope they dont transform

Ahthe land was special. I dont know that much about it. Hahahaha.

That said, I should use the rest here, as Primula-san says.

Is it possible to manage the fields?

Of course, there is a gardener.

It is better to have it than not.then I will exchange.

Considering the high mana concentration, its probably.an MP recovery material.

Is it better to consult a gardener than to judge by flavor text? Lets do that later.

Then, Ill be going for lunch.

Sure

I end the call and log out.

Then, while having lunch with my sister, I tell her to come to my house, as Ive made the resurrection potion.

When I logged in after lunch, I sold the Res-Po to my sister and Moon-Netherlite to Primula-san and Nephrite-san.

While Im logged in, I keep making more Resurrection Potions.

After dinner, I decided to just go to bed, after heading to the Union. There, I collected the sales for food, talismans, and magic clay and arrange the Resurrection Potions.

Then I write on the BBS, and todays schedule was completed successfully.

It is a sign of peace that the day ends as planned and without incident.

Thats really good. Good night.
