67 Episode 67: Wooden Patron Saints and True Storm Kings (1/2)

A few days have passed since the wooden golem was placed near a hidden field.

”He's here again.”

Even a few times a bunch of demons come towards the hidden fields of the woods.

And the next moment, it was blown together by the wood golem.

”Yeah, well, it looks like a fully automatic demon repellent is working fine.”

This wood golem, in fact, can be made a little different from a normal golem.

Usually, to build a golem, we collect materials like stones and lumber.

But someone I knew in my previous life was a freak who gave his life a little bit to the golem, and one day suddenly said, ”I came up with a breakthrough way to make a golem! I said.”

That's this regenerative golem.

By creating the Golem as a semi-life, we succeeded in making it self-regenerating like a creature.

The revolutionary aspect of this golem is that it has the ability to regenerate, so maintenance such as repairing damaged parts and replacing worn parts is not necessary.

Well, even when it comes to regeneration, it's not complete, it can be necessary to take in or take down prey that you defeated as an ingredient.

He said that he would not be born without it.

Still, there was no need to process and replace the parts, so the breakthrough did not change.

Well, about a week later, that ground-breaking technique took off the curse designation, and the person took off the fast track.

So, there was a lot going on during the fugitive play, and someone I knew gave me some of my research results.

Yeah, I also say it was in a magic bag on its own when I realized it.

Incidentally, I still wonder why I treated this research with a curse ban, as I have seen the actions of various powerful people in previous and previous lives.

'Cause they were all doing something more egregious.

Either way, this golem, made under such a background, is a golem but also a tree.

In other words, even if the branches break, they grow new.

Since the growth rate has also increased, the Golem repairs damage quickly by instantly nourishing and absorbing the defeated demons.

So, I was giving orders to the Golem to protect the inhabitants of the villages and villages to the west, and the hidden fields.

Instruct them to do whatever they want.

Anything is half a creature, so it seems that giving a bee an order reduces its efficiency against the order.

For that reason, Woodgorem had occasionally traveled to sunny and drained places of his own free will while protecting villages and fields.

Because of this, I think I'll also make some nutrients for the wood golem.

Give the recipe to the villagers, too, and they'll be able to use it on poorly grown plants.

... Nutrients? Do you feel like you're forgetting something?

Well, okay.

”Hey, what the heck ⁉”

The next morning, when the village chief woke me up and came outside, the villagers were looking at the woods and shouting surprises.

What the hell are you surprised about?

Together, I looked at the woods, and there stood a tree about 50 meters long.

”Mm-hmm?”

Was there a tree like that?

”Hey, Mr. Rex, what are you doing?

Are you asking me, Mr. Liliera?

”No, even if I ask.”

”But yesterday, you put something like a potion on a forest tree, didn't you?

Something like a potion?

”... ah”

Shit. That nutrient was the one I used in the village where I commissioned the demon shelter potion.

I used it for that very large vegetable on a wood golem.

”... you've grown”

”You've grown up! What are you gonna do, man? The villagers are in trouble.

With that said, the village chief was very surprised, but how did the villagers react?

I just moved my gaze to see how the villagers reacted.

I'm a little scared.

Then the villagers, all of them, were lying down for the wood golem.

”Huh?”

What is it? What's the situation?

”The tree spirits have grown! This must have shown more help to protect us!

”” ”” Ha-ha!

Oh, that's what you decided.

Apparently, the villagers interpreted Woodgorem as being serious about protecting themselves.

”Well, then, that's the way it is.”

”That's not what this is about!

◆

”Lord Rex is here. ⁉”

The knights came from outside the village to see if the grown wood golem would move properly.

Even so, it's not us and the remaining knights in the west village, it's the knights who came from outside the village, probably Sky Castle.

When the knights find me, they come straight this way.

”What's wrong with you?

”It's tough! Bahamut! A new Bahamut has appeared!

”Whatever ⁉”

New Bahamut!?

I didn't expect a second head to come out here.

”And Bahamut is nearly twice the size of the last individual!

”Twice!?”

Oh, come on, that means...

”Hey, Mr. Rex, I mean double...”

Looks like Mr. Liliera guessed it, too.

”Yeah, I think it's an adult of Bahamut”

Has the adult Bahamut emerged after defeating the small Bahamut?

... Is that it? That is.

”Maybe you mean the parents of the Bahamut you defeated last time?

”” Yep ⁉ ””

I'm surprised the knight and Mr. Liliera round their eyes.

”Well, considering the fact that the previous Bahamut was unnaturally small and the sudden appearance of the adult Bahamut a few days later, isn't that what happened?

Assuming you came to take the territory, you would take it by force a long time ago.

Thinking about it makes me more convinced to think of it as a family.

”Didn't you come to avenge us...?

Um, I don't know.

Basic animals are something to nest after they've been raised to some extent, and the demons, I wonder what about Bahamut?

I know how to fight, but you don't know much about ecology as a creature.

”And so on”

And the knight tries to convey something more.

”It's Bahamut, but he was holding something he'd never seen in his hand.”

”Something you've never seen before?

”Yeah, it's artificial like I saw it. Probably something made on the ground.”

Hmm, Bahamut with some artifact.

”So, Lord Rex asked me to join the scouts.”

Uh, from Mr. Carm?

Well, when Bahamut is finally gone, but when the new Bahamut comes out again, you won't be able to.

Moreover, it would be all the more so if it seemed obviously stronger than before.

”Okay. I'll be with you.”

If the reason the new Bahamut is here is because it defeated the previous Bahamut, then I have one end of the blame.

”Oh, thank you!

The knight comes to give thanks and bow his head.

”By the way...”

Huh? You still got something?

”What is this big tree all about? I don't think it was before.”
