Chapter 142 (1/2)
The buildings and streets of the High Kobold nation, which had fallen into ruin after Gargya’s coup d’état, were being repaired at an astounding speed
The stone and wood of the buildings, as well as the stone pave into a clay-like for in the process
“The town is returning to normal before our very eyes!”
“Wow, thanks!”
“WANWANWANWAAAN!”
The High Kobold nation’s people cheered as they watched this happen Many of theh Kobold children in particular were so excited that it was i
They agging their tails, so it was clear that they were delighted, however
Vandalieu was the one person waving to the people… or at least, he was supposed to be one person, but he had split hihtly dissatisfied
“… I’d rather be cooking than doing construction work”
“Shea nuts… shea butter…”
“Açaí berries…”
“Numerous fruits that didn’t exist on Earth, and the meat of animals that went extinct…”
Vandalieu’s interest was so much more inclined towards food than construction and repair that his spirit clones werethese words to themselves
Gargya had been defeated, and the exter of the remainders of his subordinates had been finished The lookouts left at the castle and around the town had been defeated quickly as well, and the civilians had been safely freed
There hadn’t been any casualties on Vandalieu’s side; some had been wounded, but none had sustained heavy wounds such as lost liic of Zadiris and the others was enough to treat them
Fortunately, the High Kobold nation had been taken back less than half a year after Gargya’s coup d’état, so none of the nation’s citizens were in seriously bad states Considering Gargya’s behavior, he would have likely decided that anyone wounded and unable to make a full recovery wouldn’t be of any use and turned thes could have becoer to resolve
And Princess Lulu, the only direct descendant of the previous king whoya had left alive so that he could make her his wife, had been freed by Prince Budarion and those with him (Kasim and his companions barely made it in time) There hadn’t been any particular proble didn’t arrive for Kasim
And then Vandalieu had done what nobody else could do – assisting in the restoration of the High Kobold nation with the use of his Golem Creation Skill
“It’s not really that it’s boring”
“I’ me”
“The High Kobold nation’s buildings have an unusual architectural style, so it’s interesting, too”
“I can even learn all kinds of things about the High Kobold people, like how they like to live in groups and how the individual houses are large”
The High Kobold nation was a nation in which High Kobolds, as well as human, Dwarf and Elf citizens and a srated froya’s coup d’état, its total population was a little over ten thousand, and its population had decreased considerably, by a little over a thousand including those who had fled safely to Zanalpadna Once those who had escaped to other nations returned, the population would increase a little again
There were about ten thousand citizens The humans were the most common race, while there were only about a hundred Elves And there were a few hundred of the inferior Kobold race
The society of this nation was sih Kobolds, who had a base Rank of 5, were in charge of the defense of the city as well as hunting and gathering outside the nation and inside Dungeons, while the citizens were in charge of production work inside the nation
And the inferior race of Kobolds was in charge of providing low-ranking soldiers, guards and physical labor The re Kobolds in the nation noere all manual labor workers, however
The Kobolds that were soldiers in occupation had approved of Gargya’s coup d’état, become like beasts and then loaned out to the noble Orc e soldiers
The fact that the nuh Kobolds had dropped dramatically would make it difficult for a while just to h-difficulty Dungeons that would threaten the existence of the High Kobold nation if the monster numbers inside weren’t reduced periodically
There was a single D-class Dungeon inside the nation, and there was nothing eons nearby, so even with their nuh Kobolds to keep the monster numbers in check
It would certainly be possible for the High Kobold nation to be restored once the biggest obstacle, the noble Orc eone
If the buildings and walls could be repaired before then, the time needed for the nation’s restoration would be shortened a little
Incidentally, Vandalieu had suggested things like gathering the souls of the dead High Kobolds to resurrect the the Labyrinth Construction Skill to create a new Dungeon orones, but these would likely be considered by the High Kobold nation’s new king and his aides one day, after Bugitas’s defeat
To the High Kobold nation, Vandalieu was the savior who had defeated the usurper, but at the sa of another nation It was only natural for the of another nation to do things like create large nuh Kobold nation, or creating shortcuts that he could use to move in and out of the nation freely
“And it seeitas,” Vandalieu said
The noble Orc e inforenerals he had sent to various regions had been defeated
The usurper Bugitas had been born in a land that hadn’t seen even small skirmishes for tens of thousands of years; he had never read any books written about military tactics because they didn’t exist, and now, he had started a full-scale war for the first time
Before he started the war, the noble Orc eainstoutside the nation’s walls and inside Dungeons Thus, they had never thought that large groups of hundreds or even over a thousand would depart the nation for more than several days at a time
And Bugitas hadn’t seen the delivery of infore probleers
noble Orcs excelled in charging forward and were certainly not a dull race, but… they weren’t a race that was proficient at covering long distances quickly, and there weren’t many tamers that used monsters
Bugitas was probably sitting on his throne right about noaiting for reports from the now-deceased Budirud and Bufudin that would never come
There was no way that this wouldn’t be taken advantage of; the plan noas for the swift liberation of all of the nations that had been affected by Bugitas’s evil influence and then close in on the nation just as swiftly, having Prince Budarion take Bugitas’s head
Once that was over, yakiniku would be itas’s ribs
No, should I ive up the possibilities of h
Vandalieu was lost in these thoughts, but a voice called out to hi him back to reality
“Excuse me! Can I have a moment?!”
“What is it?” Vandalieu asked
Perhaps he had repaired a building incorrectly because he had been too lost in his thoughts Thinking that this ht have been the case, Vandalieu hastily stepped back onto the ground, but the Do to make a complaint or request
“U Wan-san, I wanted to thank you,” she said Her expression was sad for a round, but it quickly changed into a smile as she offered him a basket “These are the fruits that Wan-san liked! Thank you very much!” she said
“Thank you very much for this,” said Vandalieu
Who was Wan-san? Before Vandalieu could ask, the Doman ran back towards her house
As he watched her leave, he ih Kobold who had been in an intimate relationshi+p with her
“Monsters’ spirits return to the circle of transration quickly, after all… and it seeya don’t remember him, either,” Vandalieu murmured
It seeya didn’t reh Kobolds
Leaving that aside, Vandalieu looked into the basket, thinking that he would gratefully accept these fruits, to see that they were fruits that Vandalieu had never seen or heard of before He was perplexed by these red-skinned fruits with several hairs reseht size to be held in one hand
“Umm, how do you eat these?” he asked
“Wanan!”
“… Thanks”
High Kobold children were cute, reses, but it was ie was just as unintelligible as the Orc language
Vandalieu tried cutting the skin of the fruit with his nails to see that despite its appearance, it was filled with s it and found the flesh to be soft, hisfilled with sweet fruit juice
“I feel like it’s a little similar to lychees, which I ate on just one occasion on Earth It see fruits in Laood taste,” said Vandalieu
As he thought of the late Wan-san, his surroundings suddenly turned dark without warning
“Vandalieu, the exterh Kobold nation and the general that was dispatched here, as well as the liberation of the nation, is complete Budirud’s Zombie was very useful,” said a voice
Legion had silently teleported into the sky above Vandalieu
“UWAAAAH?! MAMA~!”
“KYAINKYAIN?!”
The children ran away iion, who appeared to be a three-meter-wide sphere made of multiple fleshfor them
“… I don’t think they need to cry as they run away I even had fanatical fans inshocked
“It can’t be helped; it’s their first ti you,” said Vandalieu “How are Borkus and the others?”
“Borkus was co because the ene Gido as ruling the High Goblin nation and Bone Man defeated General Bugyap as stationed there, but it seeht”
“Of course, both of the enemies that ouldn’t have been able to defeat unless we al’s Counter!” Valkyrie piped up
“Valkyrie, I don’t think you need to mention that,” said Pluto
Vandalieu’s party had split into two arh Goblin nations at the same time
This was because the two nations were close to the Ghoul nation, and because they had been under the complete control of the noble Orc empire and used as sources of troops
And though this had only been confirya would reforitas’s defeat, so it hadn’t been a mistake to liberate these nations first
According to Legion, it seeeneral dispatched there were similar
“By the hat is that?” Pluto asked
“A mysterious fruit,” said Vandalieu “It seee to ask what it was called Would you like to try some?”
Legion took a fruit from Vandalieu and sed it whole, skin and all And then another of their personalities surfaced to respond
“… This fruit was on Earth and Origin as well The appearance and taste is pretty much the same Jack likes it, too,” said Hitomi
“They’re called raht, Hitomi-chan?” said Jack
“Seriously?” Vandalieu asked
“Serious, serious,” both of them replied
Rambutan It was a fruit native to Southeast Asia As hitomi said, it was a fruit that had existed on Earth, but Vandalieu had no memory of it
However, this fruit had been produced in the High Kobold nation, which had a climate that was a little similar to Africa’s, so it was likely to be a close relative of the rambutan, to be more precise
Once Vandalieu had time, he wanted to create Immortal Ents to produce rambutan, but wouldn’t it cause problems to produce a specialty product of a nation that Taloshei with in the near future?
Vandalieu was pondering this inside the Job-changing rooh Kobold nation
As ing was necessary for the citizens to acquire production-related Jobs, so there was one in this nation as well
“I haven’t done anything unusual this time, so I don’t think there will be any new ones, but…” Vandalieu murmured as he touched the crystal
『Jobs that can be selected:【Corpse Deue Calae】【Dark Healer】【Labyrinth Creator】【Dee】【Divine Enemy】【Dark Guider】【Creation Guider】【Fallen Warrior】【Insect Nin】』
TLN: This 忍/nin is the “nin” in “ninja”
“… H out like this so often?”
Isn’t this Job systeht? Vandalieu silently asked in his enie of tiht to have created Jobs and Skills, but there was no reply
It was unknown as to whether Vandalieu’s question hadn’t reached Ricklent or whether he had been deliberately ignored
“Still, the other two are… Fallen Warrior refers to a fallen warrior, doesn’t it As for Insect Nin, maybe it’s related to the Insect User Job? But for now, I’ve already decided on the next Job I’ll take I choose Corpse Demon Commander”
TLN: I have no idea how else to translate this I’ve translated the Job title by its kanji, but note that Vandalieu’s “explanation” of fallen warrior is also a word that refers to a soldier that flees the battlefield Not sure if it’s relevant
Lately, Vandalieu had often been coroup battles So if he acquired the Corpse Demon Commander Job, which was read in the same way as ‘co Skill and things would proceed better That hat he had thought
TLN: I think I mentioned this when the Job first appeared; “Corpse Demon Commander” is pronounced the same way as the word for “commander” but with different kanji
『You have changed Jobs to Corpse Demon Commander!』
『The Levels of the Co and Coordination Skills have increased!』
『You have acquired the Corpse Binding Technique Skill!』
『The Corpse Binding Technique, Plant Binding Technique and Insect Binding Technique have fused into Group Binding Technique!』
