BXBX NOVEL 70 Episode 43: Slave And Boss Door
Cynthia asks.
"Yeah, I\'m planning on getting back to the guard, so if I do some standing around and some magic practice, I\'ll rendezvous. If I can afford it, I\'m gonna try and make it fight lightly on one level."
"I hope you\'re a good girl, Karen."
"I hope we get along, Soura"
"We\'re going to get along. He\'s a junior."
The three slaughter four layers of demons as they thrive on stories of new slaves.
"Jen, you\'re getting more and more men at the base, right?"
"It\'s good to be full, huh?
"But I plan to stop once and for all. I also feel that the number of maids is too high for that base..."
"Well, if you\'re just managing a base, you don\'t have that many people."
"Oh yeah......"
Serra is right. Obviously a large number of people.
I found out when I went to Castar\'s mansion before noon today, but it looks like the maids are doing a lot of things without my knowledge. They let the maids work in turns, and still let the extra members produce potions and other drugs, groceries, etc. As for the product, it seems that they set up a store and put it up for sale. I call them maids, but they\'re basically my slaves, so that income will be mine.
Even more surprising was the increase in slavery (Shinja). Of course he\'s registered as my slave. They bought a new slave using my blood I gave them before. I asked him what he was going to do, and he said he was going to send them everywhere. Lucea and the others know that tourism accounts for a large part of my journey. He said that the goal was to send his distributions to various locations in advance to support my journey, so that I could smoothly guide and process the journey. They\'re also buying several carriages for that. So there were several unrecognizable carriages stopped at the mansion......
I didn\'t know that, but all of those things are accepted by Alta. I want to ask you what you\'re doing without letting me know.
A: It\'s a backwards task, so I decided I didn\'t have to bother telling the master. I was going to present it here when I needed it.
Well, if you\'ve done it for me, don\'t you ever complain...
That\'s why I refrain from buying \'I\'m\' slaves, but I don\'t forbid the Luceas to increase their distribution on their own, so I feel like eventually it\'s going to cheat.... It\'s okay, because my powers are fine no matter how much my subordination is.... Rather, because you\'ll be strong enough for that.
"In the future, if you\'re not as slave as Maria, Mio and Sella, I\'ll decide not to buy you."
"Originally, that was the standard before you picked up the Claudes, wasn\'t it? Except I\'m as special as Maria and Mio..."
It\'s okay, because Serra is pretty special, too.
"Speaking of which, I was. Since Jen found out that if you give her skills, even people who aren\'t special will be able to use them quite a bit, it\'s a less conscious standard, isn\'t it?"
"That\'s not true. Lucea has changed quite a bit, and I just needed to buy other kids as a pretext to buy Cynthia and the others..."
The twins called me when I was making such an excuse.
"Sir, this is too sturdy! What shall we do?
"Sir, this is too big! What shall we do?
Stonegolem
LV6
< Hardened LV2 > < Labyrinth Adapted LV1 >
Notes: Man-made golem made of stone, about 2m in size. Physical attacks are hard to work with.
Uh, are you stiff? Stonegolem\'s HP has barely decreased if you look at it. In contrast, the sword and spear, the twin weapons, were spilling blades. Only Cynthia kept beating the stone golem with an iron rod because of the tension.
Using magic instead of physical attacks seems easy to defeat, but there are not many parties without wizards. The move is slow, so I guess it\'s the right thing to avoid and move on in a party without a wizard.
"Magic should make it easy to take them down. Not even a magic job, but let\'s give Soura and Karen one or so magic."
"You can use magic! Karen!"
"You can finally use it! Soura!"
I gave Soura the LV1 and Karen the LV1. This was the story of the beginning of a twin S-class adventurer later called "Soura the Ice Spear" and "Karen the Flaming Sword". It\'s a lie.
We kept Soura and Karen brief on magic. Cynthia continued to attract stone golems in the meantime.
"Cynthia. Get out of the way!
"Cynthia. Get out of the way!
A magically prepared twin tells Cynthia to retreat, but it doesn\'t reach Cynthia who is getting high.
"" Cynthia!
I can\'t reach my voice. I\'m a little frustrated, so I go around behind Cynthia in shrinkage and decide on a chop on my head.
"Pussy!"
Cynthia faints when she raises her weird voice. I grew up, so I held her aside and went back to her original position.
"Come on, the interrupters are gone. Shoot the magic."
"" Yes, yes ""
I look at Cynthia who has passed out and give instructions to the twins who are pulling slightly.
"Fireball!
"Iceball!
The twins are shooting ball-based magic alternately. It alternates because if we hit it together, it\'s going to offset it. If your opponent is metal, say, \'You brittle the metal by cooling it sharply where you\'ve heated it!\' Like, I explained it on Doya\'s face. If it\'s a rock, the effect seems thin. Too bad.
The stone golem, almost powerless against magic, fell so low after that. I knew magic personnel were important.... human bravery is a brain muscle.
I woke up. I scolded Cynthia and decided to move on to the labyrinth again. I managed to attack four layers within that day.
That night, I decided to ask Sakura to create a new magic. The name is Sammon. As you can see from the name, it is the magic of summoning the subject. The condition is that they are under their own authority. Simply put, it\'s called magic to bring Cynthia back.
It is the magic of the metastatic system, which continues to be "portal" and "warp". But unlike other magic, it is not the magic activator himself who moves. As a result, we can urgently evacuate our subordinates who are in critical situations. If you ask me to read when I can\'t afford to set up a "portal," I can get you out of here as soon as I can.
Now I can collect it without question, even when Cynthia is losing her sanity.
"I also thought when I was in Alta, you\'re losing more and more privacy..."
"Oh, Jen, please don\'t call me when you\'re in the bathroom with the bathroom"
"What does Sakura think I am..."
I just can\'t be that openly perverse. There\'s a big gap between having the means to do it and actually doing it. It is enough that you think you can do it at any time. It is hectic.
"Dear Jen, I don\'t mind you calling me whenever or under any circumstances..."
And Dora!
Maria and Dora say without hesitation at all. Well, Maria doesn\'t have to call me. She\'s pretty close.
"I (I)..., anytime except when I\'m eating"
"... is it good when you\'re in the bathroom?
"I don\'t mind."
Serra said it out without hesitation. Where did shame go? And the only thing I hope you don\'t call me is Serra telling me you\'re eating.
The next day I also stuck in the labyrinth for a day and proceeded to two layers. This will be a seven-layer offense starting tomorrow. At the current pace, one tier of attack is possible in half a day. By the way, I used \'Sammon\' five times this day. Four of them were used during Cynthia\'s runoff. The rest of the time, when Mio soaked up the stairs down the layer.
The first plan was for a two-tier offensive a day. So far, it\'s on schedule, but the less stairs to the next layer will go to the lower one, so it will be taking longer. Maybe you can\'t say this pace forever.
Conversely, the number of stairs is also high at the moment, so it would be nice to attack the upper floors as quickly as possible and have some leeway.
"So from tomorrow on, we\'ll be in the fight."
Cynthia and the others can fight enough, but if we join the fight, the speed of the end of the fight will be visible and faster.
"Of course, drop your status, right?
"Oh, Mio\'s right. We\'re gonna drop the status a lot. If we don\'t, Cynthia and the others won\'t have a chance."
"Is your husband that strong?
With that said, you\'ve never fought properly in front of Cynthia and the others. For once, we fought when Cynthia and her villages were raided, but there were no Cynthia or twins around then.
"Yes, your husband is strong."
"Selah, are you better than your sister?
Cynthia adores Sera by calling her sister Sera. At night, I often see Cynthia being coached by Serra on how to fight, so I guess that\'s when we got along. Later, it may be that the battle specialist\'s subordinates feel comfortable with each other.
"Of course it is. I can defeat you with a word of" no rice. "
"That must mean something different..."
Surely Serra would cry and apologize if she said \'no rice\'. I don\'t know if I can call that strength.
"Well, the more you say no tomorrow, the better."
"I\'m looking forward to it!
"It\'s going to be late again."
Before I went to bed, I had another reading from Mira.
What\'s going on now? Is the burial of the villagers difficult to navigate?
No, it ended early with the Knights\' help.
Is it the village representative\'s job to say that?
"Yeah, they\'re sending an investigation team from the King\'s Capital."
Yeah, I heard you had some great momentum and a fact-finding team.
That\'s what Elysia said. You think the merchants are on their way to profitability? Sounds like a really worthwhile discovery.
"Yes, apparently I have to be present in that investigation, too."
Do you need Mira?
I don\'t know. However, it was difficult to say no in the circumstances, so I had to take it. It\'s cowardly to say that after all the help you\'ve given to bury the body. "
"What is it again..."
Surely it would be hard to say no if you were asked to do so with a large number of people helping to bury the body. Yeah, I knew it wasn\'t something you\'d inadvertently borrow.
So, I can\'t go home for a while.
"The capital takes nearly 10 days by carriage. At least not since then..."
"Sorry for overlapping..."
"Never mind. Whatever the reason or circumstance, if you decide to do it once, you can do it responsibly until the end."
"Of course you are. At least I\'m the representative of the village until someone takes over."
Talk that far and cut the reading. Surprisingly, Mira may be in a position to say representative. I mourn that I won\'t be able to go back, but I\'m not complaining about the job itself.
It\'s just that Mira became a vampire, she grew old slower, and she had a longer life span. You can\'t keep staying in the same place.... If Mira wants it, she should probably look for a way to get back to humans safely.
The next day, we were diving into the labyrinth in the morning. On the second day of the commitment at noon today, new members will be added.
We have one or two main parties in the fight, and Cynthia and the Twins are fixed members.
The status is largely dropped for the main party, but there is still considerable leeway. Specifically enough to defeat a stone golem that is less effective than a physical attack with a single pan. Spiritual knife (Leito)/unfinished (Micah) can be cut like potato lamb. \'It\'s hard to work\' and \'it doesn\'t work\' are completely different.
"Sir...... so is it true that you don\'t mean it?
Cynthia asked me a question when I was breaking the stone golem with one blow.
"Oh, we\'re keeping our attacks below 1% now."
"Compared to me, who can\'t defeat a stone golem, it means there\'s a difference in attack power over 100x..."
Cynthia drops her shoulders snugly.
"Cynthia, you can\'t compare me to your husband, can you? He can call a brave man a feather."
"Featherworms..."
Mio, who is fighting with me, is comforting Cynthia as she hits the arrow against the enemy. Or they\'re calling me a monster. Well, I wouldn\'t deny it.
We explored until noon and were able to safely attack up to 8 layers. We just went in and we were able to attack two layers per half day. I went a little further if that bothered me, but I kept it that far because it also seems cute to suddenly let new members of the membership fight layers with bosses.
It is noon and we return to our base in Kastal.
"When I heard that I was a slave to play with, I thought it would be better if I stayed about half the time, but it seemed surprisingly gutsy and they all completed combat training to the end"
I was a little surprised to hear from Lucea. The girls in front line look like they\'ve done it.
"Perhaps during combat training, he served a good meal and also influenced the threat that when he became a maid, the level would drop"
I\'m not proud of it, but the food in my mansion is incredibly delicious. A cook\'s maid with culinary skills carefully creates Mio\'s direct global cuisine, which is also natural. For once, Mio has the highest culinary skills, but he can\'t make Mio at any time with just the number of people.
For the record, Sakya, the queen of Castar, also comes to eat a lot. I come to eat really well. Says it tastes four times better than royal castle food. Somewhat specific, but Sakuya, who is supposed to be eating the best dishes in the royal castle, says that much, so I guess it\'s quite a thing. Royal Castle cooks can cry.
Sometimes, Sakya asks me to mentor a cook at the royal castle or behave as a hospitality dish to nobles and guests. And sometimes I get scouted by the customer, but Sakuya says no straight away, so it\'s something that makes me wonder how tall the treatment is. Royal Castle cooks can cry with bees.
If you taste such a royal meal, you will also enter nature and combat training. No matter how much you say slave to play with, you\'ve never eaten that much good.
My skin is shinier than when I first saw it... Yeah, the kids who were originally cute are even cuter.
"Now, which child to take..."
When I say that, the slave girls breathe. You want to go or not?
A: I\'m both here. Mark it, right?
That said, there was a callout on the icon on the map that said "I want to go" and "I don\'t want to go". What do you care? "I want to go" to 6 people, but "I don\'t want to go" to the remaining 4 people. I\'m not even going to bother taking the "I don\'t want to go" kid, so I choose from the ones I want to go to.
The kid who was the first candidate is included in "I want to go." Check status. They are all quite up in level, with a few skill points but growing. The first candidate has the highest growth rate. Well, there\'s nothing strange about it, and I guess it\'s up to this kid.
Let the other "want to go" kids continue their combat and maid training for a while. All of them, like the Claudes of Queen Castar, are going to create a group of seekers in the Kingdom of Estea as well. Cynthia and the others plan to be at the core at that time, but there\'s no reason why we can\'t grow other members quickly.
"Well, let\'s take this kid"
"Okay. Kate, try not to bother the Lord."
"Yes, sir. Best regards,"
Kate, a beautiful girl who jumps off, greets her as she bows.
Now let\'s look at the key status.
Name: Kate
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Race: Half Elf
Skills: < Body Enhancement LV2 > < Fire Magic LV1 > < Water Magic LV1 > < Wind Magic LV1 > < Soil Magic LV1 > < Recovery Magic LV1 > < Space Grasp LV5 > < Labyrinth Adaptation LV1 >
Title: Jen\'s Slave, Blind
Kate, the new subordinate, was born blind and unable to speak. It is harsh to say in its place, but it is given too powerful an ability.
That is. It\'s a skill that seems effective in using magic as you can see. Naturally, it\'s ruined by not being able to see or talk.
Stretched green hair and looks top notch amongst the loving slave girls. Well, that\'s it. He\'s more than good looking, he\'s blind, he can\'t talk, but he\'s not in trouble for what he loves. Of course, I guess it\'s also a high score to be able to love you with a longer life and younger appearance than people because you\'re a half elf.
He\'s highly intelligent, but he doesn\'t have the technique to describe it, and he doesn\'t even have a decent education in the first place. Still, she understood the language by virtue of its exceptional intelligence. By the way, the only magic I\'ve given you is water magic. In the last few days, I have learned the magic of other attributes on my own. You\'re a hell of a genius.
I think it\'s easy to predict, but < contract bond (engagement link) > gave me the power to browse maps and statuses, so that I could also use reading stories. Within the day I bought it, of course.
Mindfulness can be used even by people who cannot speak, as long as there is a concept of language. I knew about Dora.
The map is a strange story, but I can see it even with my eyes closed. This means it can be used even if you are blind. Plus this is something I didn\'t even know about, but what we\'re using now seems to be a simple map. It really looks like a pretty detailed map of 3D information, not an overlooking perspective. Such information cannot be processed by the normal human brain, so it is in a simplified version. By the way, Alta looks at the detail map.
And Kate is also looking at the detail map. Amazingly enough, the map is synergistic, and they can demonstrate comparable processing power to Alta if they reach a narrow space poorly.
I explained that to everyone. By the way, it\'s just the party members getting together.
"But you haven\'t done anything before, and you can suddenly fight?
Sakura asks Kate a question. Well, telling a playful slave to fight is impotent in the first place......
It\'s okay. I\'ve been well trained in combat by the Maid Chief, and I\'ve actually crusaded demons on the Kastal side. "
"Join us as magic personnel, how about that?
"Yes, sir. We are well trained on that too, so if it\'s a ball, barrette or wall system treatment for LV1, it\'s fine. I can\'t use magic from LV2 onwards, but I\'ve reviewed it."
"Why are you so motivated?"
There\'s no point in Mio laughing bitterly. I spoke to Lucea, but Kate seems to have spared her time studying and training while she was asleep. He wanted to follow me anyway.
Lucea, by the way, said she also conducted quite a bit of fleshbullet warfare training. Even there, Kate apparently had a high score. This revealed that if you can use 100% of the maps displayed in 3D, you can win the battle even if your eyes are closed. Maybe I can\'t either. I can\'t do it without Alta to be exact.
"Of course, it\'s to help your husband! As a loving slave, I was about to give up on spending more time on my bed unproductively, and all I could say was that it was just a miracle that I met my husband!
Open your hands, Kate. I think I\'m going to sing a lot of gratitude. I can\'t sing, though. Oh, once I supplemented it, I couldn\'t use \'Revive\'. What was not born possible did not seem to be treated as\' deficient \'.
I mean, for the first time, Kate is going to say that I was born a believer just because of my incompetence.... Oh, yeah. Kate\'s label is yellow. She turned yellow at the stage where she taught Alta. It\'s early.
"Kate thinks it\'s instant combat and thinks it\'s no problem. All of a sudden, it\'s from nine layers, okay?
"I think I\'m fine. From the information Alta gave me on demons living on the 8th floor, it\'s no problem unless the demons get stronger too rapidly."
You\'re so confident. Well, if that\'s what you\'re saying, let me show you the power.
That\'s why I sign up for Adventurers and Explorers and dive straight into the Labyrinth. Naturally, it\'s suddenly a nine-tier start.
... Let\'s conclude. By letting Kate fight, our main party didn\'t have to participate in the fight.
Fireball!
The fireball I said and let go hits Lesser Minotaur\'s foot. Shocked by the foot he just tried to step out of, Lesser Minotaur collapsed and stabbed him to be sucked into Karen\'s spear, which he just stood on. That brings Lesser Minotaur\'s HP to almost exactly 0.
Kate\'s way of fighting is, in a nutshell, "highest efficiency". Should it also be a sophisticated tactic without a single thing to waste? The use of magic is also more specialized in disfiguring and aiding in avant-garde movements than in damaging. And all I\'m saying is that overkill is futile. I aim for justkill. That\'s not my offense, either, but the thoroughness of regulating it to be a justkill with a buddy\'s offense.
Mr. Cynthia! Keep swinging your weapon to the right!
Cynthia shakes the iron rod to the right as she was told. That\'s where Kate shoots in. Ice barrettes land. A fragment of the shattered ice barrette strikes directly at the roots of the maize bat feathers that were about to attack from behind Cynthia. Stab in the eye of a dungeon goblin who was also nearby.
One shot of magic drained the fighting power of the two demons. Other members stab the stiffness in the gap.
"... I honestly didn\'t think I\'d get this far"
Yeah, I didn\'t think you\'d get this far either.
"Me, not that far, but I can\'t...... I\'m the same wizard..."
Sakura has been depressed. No, because I normally can\'t do that.
"I don\'t know if I should have one more."
"No, because the only thing I\'m good at is mass combat in closed spaces. If you fight outside, there will be a lot of disturbances and you will lose your efficiency."
Kate returns to discipline to Mio\'s crush. Of course we\'re in battle.
By the way, mass combat in closed spaces is simply about dungeons, isn\'t it? So you specialize in dungeons.
The battle soon ended.
"Wow, Kate is. I never thought I\'d be able to fight this far."
It\'s an honor to compliment you.
Thank you gracefully, Kate. But the long ears characteristic of a half elf move tingly, and I\'m not able to hide my excitement.
"Crusade the 10-tier boss by the end of the day at this rate"
I\'ll take care of it.
I say confidently, Kate. I\'m going to join the war for once as long as I can...
Until before the boss on the 9th and 10th tiers, they arrived in about 2 hours after that.
We, the main members, have not participated in any combat in the meantime, but I don\'t think our time would have changed that much if we had.
As we progressed through the layers, more demons emerged as well. Even the new demons seem to be able to quickly derive countermeasures. Anything, he said he was taking lectures from Alta in his free time. Maybe Kate knows more about this labyrinth than I do at the moment. Is that all right with you, me?

Notes: Demons of the human swine face (for dungeons). A little weaker than being outside.
The labyrinth is huge, there are many other types of demons if you go away, but if you mention it, you don\'t have Kiri, so you decide to just name the person who fought directly.
Boss, the door in the room is made of metal that looks sturdy (not to say it can\'t be broken) and is open for viewing.
I am very satisfied with the way I said the boss room. I wonder if the door was called relief. The letter saying 10 and the minotaur were carved. On the side is written something like a letter. Could it be that it shows the boss demon inside? Oh, yeah, you are. There\'s a minotaur in there. That\'s kind of you.
"Some kids may be watching, but some of them are minotaurs. Must be the big guy from Lesser Minotaur who came forward. Of course it\'ll be stronger than that."
"I\'m also checking. I think we alone can defeat enough. I don\'t even need my husbands to join the war. Could you leave it to us?
Looks like Kate decided she can afford it.
A: Kate\'s decision is correct. There is still room for the master to fight lightly.
"... ok. I was actually going to join the war, but it\'s a corner. Just the rookies. Brilliant knock \'em down and show\' em!
Yes, do as you say.
"We work hard!
"" Yes!
For the record, there are several stairs down from 10 to 11 floors, but not all of them have bosses. Of course there are stairs without bosses. However, even down that staircase, it seems to be a mechanism that stops at the next layer and cannot reach that next layer. I can give my demon opponent an arm test a little further, but it won\'t lead to the next 10 layers of attack.
After that, the boss doesn\'t revive (lispawn) for a while when defeated. That cycle lasts about a day. If you\'re not so lucky, boss, you never say the room is deserted. For once, a 10-tier boss doesn\'t have the potential to be deserted, but after 20 tiers, that\'s almost 0%.
Soura and Karen push the kannon opening door one by one, left and right, to open it. You can paint when you\'re twins at times like this. Um, actually, I like twin characters a lot. Look, it\'s very similar, but it\'s nice around a little bit of a difference.
I\'m still waiting to see if Cynthia\'s slowly opening the door.
Mr. Cynthia, calm down.
"Oh, yes, sir."
Cynthia is tempted by Kate and calms down a little.
"Speaking of which, Cynthia\'s on the run. Don\'t listen to Kate."
Just before the start of the fight, you can stop the movement with \'Wait\', but when the fight starts and the excitement continues, you stop listening to the instructions at some point. But even in that state, I only listened to Kate\'s instructions.
"Oh, that\'s it, but even during the runoff, if you\'re reading, it seems to arrive. It\'s not like consciousness is flying even during a rampage."
"... say it quickly"
I always spoke up when I stopped Cynthia. I didn\'t know it would arrive if I told it in a reading.
The twins opened the door while I was thinking about it. Minotaur, of course, is waiting inside.
