Chapter 179 (1/2)

With a serious expression on his face, Luciliano observed his experies

There were a variety of different kinds of subjects, fros, snakes and insects Soh they were all Rank 1 such as Horned Rabbits and Big Frogs that were the size of dogs

These were not unusual creatures to use as subjects for experis that were strange

Mice werewith insects; rabbits with snakes and Horned Rabbits with Big Frogs… the experi with species that they would definitely not mate with in the wild

However, the evenwas that none of these experimental subjects were alive in the nor experiress is s,” Luciliano murmured to himself as he took records of this bizarre experiment that believers of Alda would immediately denounce as a desecration of life

“That is delightful Vandalieu has taken another step towards uncovering life’s arn, an evil God who resided in a vessel with the appearance of an Elf girl

She was as expressionless as Vandalieu, whom she worshi+pped, but she was unexpectedly talkative There was a fanatical glow in her eyes

“A new generation given birth to through the reproduction of Undead implanted with Life Gold, a new material that Vandalieu has created… If this experiraved on yet another page of history,” said Gufadgarn

It see she said was related to Vandalieu

In any case, this experis of was an Undead breeding experiment

Normally, no matter what kind of creatures Undead had been while alive, they would not be able to reproduce, and their desire to do so would be weaker

This was not always the case when people becas of attachment and love for a certain individual of the opposite sex, but… Even then, their lust would sier, and what they desired was to suck away that person’s essence

As their bodies have died, it was only natural that they would not be able to create offspring… but that hat Vandalieu was trying to change

The icaldeath-attribute Mana into gold and silver He transplanted these into the organs of the Undead experimental subjects and ordered them to mate

And this experiment had already seen some success Undead that had been of the same race or of similar races while alive had successfully reproduced

Now, Vandalieu was conducting experieneration would develop normally, and whether Undead of different races could reproduce with each other

“Still, there is a long way to go Apparently, Master’s final goal is to allow the Ghosts, who are Astral-type Undead with no bodies, and Living Aroal is to allow reproduction not just between Undead, but between an Undead and a living person as well Unfortunately, living experimental subjects do not mate at master’s command”

The purpose of this experiment was not to have Undead repeatedly est Undead or invent a way to create new servants without having to use corpses

It was to allow Talosheim’s Undead such as Borkus, Rita, Saria and Princess Levia to have children as well Thus, it was only natural to set high goals

“Could this not be solved by capturing bandits and such froested

“… That is likely to work, but I would personally be unwilling to watch them reproduce,” said Luciliano

“Then allowVandalieu’s arn

“With your current appearance, I do not think that is a good idea, but… Incidentally, do you not need to go to Master who experi conducted in Vandalieu’s workshop beneath the castle, but as it would not be a good influence on the development of Pauvina and the other children who often came here to play, a wall had been built to separate this section froht now, Vandalieu was not here

“I am here at Vandalieu’s command He informed me that an extremely sensitive conversation between parent and child is happening, and that he wishes arn replied

Hearing this, Luciliano i outside this chamber “Ah Zadiris and Basdia”

As this topic was deeply related to Ghouls’ Ranks and race titles, he did have some interest in their conversation However, he knew that if he was present, he would make some inappropriate remark and an iron claw or some other fearsome attack would be directed at him

“I shall ask Master about it later,” he decided

Having prepared several people’s worth of sodafruit juice with carbonated water, Vandalieu sat between a very tense Basdia and Zadiris

“Mother, what I have not been able to tell you up until now is that my Rank also increased inside the Trial of Zakkart,” Basdia confessed, looking tor her a weak smile “The fact that you were unable to tell me… It is that, is it not? Your race title after your Rank increase…”

“Yes, it’s queen My new race title is ‘Ghoul Amazoness Queen’ That’s what it says on my Status,” said Basdia

Ghoul Aends, a Rank 10 queen who commands Ghoul Amazonesses Basdia had acquired this race title after her Rank increase

“Basdia, just to be sure… You were not a princess before you became a queen? You did not become a Ghoul Amazoness Princess before you became a Ghoul Amazoness Queen?” Zadiris asked

“I didn’t,” Basdia replied “I was a Ghoul Amazoness Chief before; I beca a princess”

“I see…”

Mother and daughter sat in silence for a while, sorrowful expressions on their faces The liquid inside their glasses swirled about

“I’ your dream, your hope,” said Basdia

“No, you do not need to concern yourself about that, Basdia,” Zadiris said softly “I was foolish to think that I would naturally go from princess to queen if my Rank increased”

Zadiris was currently a Rank 11 Ghoul Wizard High Princess She was concerned about the fact that her race title contained ‘princess’ despite the fact that she would be three hundred years old next year and the fact that she had not only a child, but a grandchild as well

Due to the special characteristics of her race, her physical develope years, but she had once been theto Taloshei Ghouls

Was it not strange for such an individual to be a princess?

That hy she had troubled Quinn, the Gehenna Absolute Queen, and Eisen, the Skogsrå Eo from princess to queen, and earnestly requested Vandalieu to alter parts of the costuained when she used her transformation staff to transforize I aenuinely happy that your Rank increased,” said Zadiris “And I am proud not only of your race title, but the fact that you have become a representative for the Ghouls”

“Basdia has recently been holding classes for the Ghouls whothes I think you’re outstanding,” said Vandalieu

“Mother… even you, Van… I was just doing these things because Mother, Vigaro and Tarea are busy,” Basdia said, blushi+ng

Zadiris gave a bitter s not only for herself but also for the other tere not here “We are truly sorry,” she said

The three of the the Ghouls, but all of them had been too busy with their own proble Basdia

Vigaro had been absorbed in his co, while Tarea’s duty was to suide the other members of her craftsman team

Of course, now that they were citizens of the nation called Taloshei over the other Ghouls They had been fore of the imperial court’ and ‘ned duties, nor were they receiving salaries

Even without taking these things into account, perhaps it is the perfect tiaro, Tarea and I are old It may be time now,” she murmured

“What?! Van, you need to use Youth Transformation on Mother!” Basdia exclaimed

“Yes Please lie down,” Vandalieu told Zadiris

“It is not that I have grown too old; I was eneration to take over!” Zadiris said indignantly, putting an end to Basdia and Vandalieu’s e has been reversed by the boy, but if I were to look i to do And… even if I were to try and organize so, it would likely becoirls”

“The ‘Magical Girl Zadiris’ is popular with Jadal and the other children, after all,” said Vandalieu

Zadiris’s gaze becaht of her shouting a password and causing her transformation staff to for i the children and young people

So ical Girl’ title

“Mother, you are at the center of attention for all young fees, not just Jadal and the other children,” said Basdia “Apparently, the fact that you becoer when you transform is important”

It seemed that even in this world, everyone wanted the ability to transform However, the transforic Items that were exceptional not only in appearance, but perfor , thin cloth, but the defense they offered surpassed that of most suits of aric use and increasing Attribute Bonuses

Perhaps because they were so highly functional in battle, it was not only sical girls

Of course, no matter hoell transforone would still be an ordinary person in a e defense

“I have becoirl, and it does not see else with another one or two Rank increases I have resigned to the fact that I will have to steadily improve myself for the next ten years, but… If I stand out too ical girls, and I irl,” Zadiris hter”

“I understand,” said Basdia “I am sure it will be easier than what you experienced when you led our village, and if it’s just for a decade or two, then I’ll do my best”

For Ghouls, who had lifespans of three hundred years, ten or twenty years was not that long

“But I want you to play with Jadal when I’m busy,” Basdia said

“Yes, leave that to hter… However, I would like to be spared fro to transform while I am outside,” said Zadiris

Zadiris was reluctant to transform outside of battle, but it seemed that she found it hard to refuse the requests of her adorable granddaughter

“It seems that we have resolved the issues, so let’s take a break,” said Vandalieu

The other two nodded in agree their soda The healthy, carbonated fruit juice was popular enough to have its own specialized stalls selling it The people of Earth and Originin sweetness, however

Even though Vandalieu had ed to reproduce carbonated water, he hadn’t been able to reproduce things like CocCola, as neither he nor Legion knew the recipe

As Vandalieu was trying to recall the flavor of CocCola, Princess Levia, the First Princess of the old Talosheim as now a fire-attribute Ghost, appeared

“Your Majesty, as you’re taking a break now, I have a report to make It seems that a letter has arrived,” she said

It seeood time to speak

“A letter?” Vandalieu repeated

He had distributed Goblin communication devices to the leaders of all of the nations inside the Boundary Mountain Range, like Godwin of the Majin nation and Queen Donaneris of Zanalpadna

Thus, if thethe communication devicesa letter There was a li the devices could be used to talk because of the amount of Mana in the devices, but even then, they often h these devices

This was because Vandalieu could use the Labyrinth Creation Skill to teleport to the nearest Dungeon, whichas he had ti contacted by letter was a rare event

“Is it fro Grounds? Maybe the Pure-breed Vampires or the ancient Majin awakened from their petrification?” said Basdia

“Itfor contact froestions were the only possibilities that Vandalieu could think of The com Grounds, perhaps because it was the center of the boundary that protected the Boundary Mountain Range from the forces of Alda, the God of law and fate The people around Vida’s Resting Grounds and the adventurer party in the Amid Empire known as the Storm of Tyranny were the only ones that Vandalieu could think of ould try to contact him in this way

“It’s neither; it’s froion,” said Princess Levia “It seems that there was a letter written by people whose names sound like they are reincarnated individuals”

“… I’m surprised they used a method as ordinary as a letter to contact ion ruled by Rudel Sauron, who had recently been named the new duke, there was a forest that the duke’s influence did not reach It was almost completely a Devil’s Nest, and three adventurers had set up cairls and a dark-skinned hu the skewered meat of the monsters they had hunted on an open-air fire as they discussed their own future

“We have cloth to use in place of paper, so let’s keep sending letters for the next month There hasn’t been any reply, but it’s iirls

“Kanako, we’ve already used half of it this onna tell us to keep it up until winter, are you?” said the boy

“Doug, November coirl

“November around here is as cold as the winter we know,” the boy retorted “Melissa, you want to keep caear and join the Undead after we freeze to death?”
