Chapter 7: The Demon King and the Necessity of Streak
Through yesterday's communication with the villagers, Green has some basic understanding of the economic situation in the world - at least Green can figure out how poor he really is.
The country is called the Kingdom of Palomya, and there are five main currencies in the kingdom. They are: "As" ("Small Copper Coins", "Copper Semi" ("Big Copper Coins", "Nadir" ("Small Silver Coins" or "Silver Horns", "Large Silver Coins", "Silver Flanges", and "Palomian Gold Coins", which are usually only used in large transactions.
Small copper coins are mainly used for change in small transactions, large copper coins and small silver coins are more commonly used currencies in ordinary life, and large silver coins are occasionally used in life, as for gold coins...... Basically, it is only used in luxury trading or commodity trading.
The official exchange ratio between each currency is 10:1. This means that ten large copper coins can be exchanged for a small silver coin, and a small silver coin is required for a night in a hotel.
After selling the boar skin and teeth yesterday, Green received a small silver coin and five large copper coins. After a night's stay at the hotel, Green now only had five large copper coins left - not even enough money to eat a normal meal in the hotel, not to mention that Green's appetite was now much higher than that of ordinary people.
Running out of money is a hard job.
The Poor Egg Demon King got dressed, went downstairs, took the basin, walked to the well, fetched a bucket of water, washed his face, and then Green fetched another bucket of water, and drank it "Gollum, Gollum, Gollum".
After drinking a bucket of water, Green touched his stomach: "Hmm...... The taste is stronger than that of wood, and the leaves have their own merits. β
Ever since Green discovered that the magical creature "Demon King" could survive even if he ate dirt, Green no longer had to worry about dying of starvation. But......
If he could, Green still wished he could eat a little more normal food! Dirt, leaves, wood, and so on, enough is enough!
With a bucket of well water to settle the belated breakfast, Green, the most bitter demon king in history, prepares to go out to find a job.
As a person with normal views, Green really can't do the act of robbing "good civilians". Faced with the simple villagers of Laplace, Green could only grit his teeth and rack his brains to think about how to make money.
Due to the language barrier, it is difficult for Green to be qualified for ordinary work, but fortunately, Green is very capable of playing! If he is willing to spend energy (chaos magic), Green can even transform into Superman in an instant, killing all kinds of beasts in seconds. However, it is obviously unlikely that such a large beast will appear around a human gathering place like this.
ββ¦β¦ In other words, in the entire village, there is only that 'copy' that can make my force work? β
Green remembered the berry he had taken out of the labyrinth earlier.
The berry eventually disappeared. Green just put it on the table, and then it disappeared in an instant like a ginseng fruit on the ground!
But Green wasn't without success.
Through previous experiments, Green has at least learned that he can indeed bring items out of space-time anomalies as described in the [Time Traveler] talent, but once the items he brings out leave his side, they will soon disappear. In other words, if you don't have the Adventurer Bracelet, even if Green is very good at fighting, you won't be able to get a source of funds from the maze.
There is no prey for hunting, there is no profit from the maze, and there is a language barrier for part-time work, this game is really difficult to play! Can I delete the number and replay?
"In the future, if you really don't have anything to eat, you can go to the maze to improve your food, but the most important thing now is to find a way to get financial income...... No! Wrong! I should be looking for food now! With enough "chaos magic", then I can solve the language problem. As long as the language problem is solved, many things can be made easy! β
Thinking of this, Green immediately made a decision in his heart.
Carrying a wooden stick and two sharp flints, Green recalled the map of the village and walked in the direction of the labyrinth.
As he walked, Green remembered what he had learned about the labyrinth the day before.
This existence, known as the "God-given Labyrinth", is very similar to the game dungeon. There are many monsters in the maze, and after the final boss (the maze lord) is killed, the door to leave the maze will be opened, and the maze will reset after a while.
The larger the labyrinth, the longer the reset period, like this miniature maze in Lapla Village, once the Maze Lord is killed, the maze will be reset after one night. As an adventurer in Lapura Village, Natalie, a red-haired girl, is tasked with going to the labyrinth every day to harvest large pieces of meat, the forest labyrinth is the main source of meat in the village.
When Green arrives at the labyrinth, he finds that the entrance door to the labyrinth has been opened.
Green walked towards the labyrinth.
However, before Green could enter the labyrinth, a nun hurried out of the church and stopped Green.
It was a young nun with blonde hair and huge breasts, and the simple, conservative nun dress could not hide the fullness of her chest, and even the holy emblem on the necklace was deeply immersed in her **.
The blonde nun stopped in front of Green, preventing him from entering the labyrinth, and at the same time pointed at Green, saying something that Green didn't understand at all.
"Nun, I don't understand what you're saying." Green said with a wry smile on his face.
The blonde nun also had a distressed look on her face.
Obviously, this will not work.
Green glanced at his own "Chaos Magic" and hesitated.
Yesterday, I consumed some "Chaos Mana" for communication, but then I came back with some through eating and drinking, and now I have a total of 8 "Chaos Mana". It's not impossible to pay 1 point of "Chaos Mana" to get temporary communication permissions, but in doing so, isn't it equivalent to breaking your own rules?
Rules are like discipline, if you break it once, there will be a second or third time in the future.
Just as Green hesitated, the door of the labyrinth fluctuated, and a red-haired girl walked out of it.
"Haha! Sister Mary Sue, the python lord has lost his snake skin today! Natalie walked over with a large bundle of python skins in her arms and a smile on her face.
The blonde nun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the girl: "Natalie, you came back just in time. β
"Did something happen?" Natalie looked at Green, then at the nun.
"This mage was just about to enter the labyrinth, and I stopped him."
"Into the labyrinth? He doesn't have an adventurer's bracelet, what is he doing in the labyrinth? Natalie looked at Green strangely, "Oh...... By the way, he's a scholar, probably trying to study the labyrinth. β
"The labyrinth is the favor of the gods, and ordinary people cannot enter it." The nun looked serious.
"Well, to put it simply, he forgot to donate?"
"Natalie!" The blonde nun's face was a little red.
"Hee-hee-hee~ Sister Mary Sue, your skin is too thin. What's so shy about this kind of thing. β
The blonde nun sighed, "The question now is how to make this foreigner understand. β
"Hmm~ It's really troublesome. He doesn't understand our language......" Natalie's face was full of confusion, "If only you could use that kind of magic that can communicate directly, Sister Mary Sue." β
The blonde nun shook her head: "The gods have already done us enough, if we can solve it ourselves, why use the power of the gods?" β
Natalie thought for a moment: "Hmm~ Sister Mary Sue, or else." Put these snakeskins with you first, and I'll go down with him. β
"This ......," thought the blonde nun, "it's not impossible to ...... with you."
"So be it." Natalie handed the snakeskin to the nun, "I want to see what he wants to do when he enters the labyrinth." β
After some exchange between Natalie and the blonde nun, the blonde nun finally gets out of the way of Green.
"Let's go, let's go in together." Natalie said to Green.
Green looked at the red-haired girl curiously. Green couldn't understand what she was saying, but he could see something in her movements and expression.
"Is this a signal that I can go in?" Green took two steps in the direction of the labyrinth, and seeing that neither the nun nor the red-haired girl stopped him, he was finally sure that he could enter the labyrinth.
Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Green walked straight to the maze.
Passing through the whirlpool, the scenery changes in front of you! Green was already in the labyrinth.
Looking back behind him, he took a closer look around: "It's the same location as the last time I came in." β
Once inside the labyrinth, Green was ready to undress.
The [Streak Demon King] aura is a good skill. Although in civilized society, this skill seems to be extremely cheating, but in the wild, its excellent insect repellent and monster repellent effect can save Green a lot of trouble and harassment.
Of course, since he has not tried it, Green can't guarantee that he won't be attacked after opening the [Naked Demon King] aura, but Green can at least be sure that if he doesn't run naked, the little snake in the forest maze will definitely attack him!
Green is now not fully equipped, the weapon is only one stick + two stones, the defensive effect of the armor is almost zero, and wearing clothes is meaningless except for the possibility of causing the clothes to be damaged in battle. After taking off your clothes, you can not only prevent your clothes from being damaged during the battle, but also activate the aura of the [Naked Demon King].
Anyway, no one sees it, and taking off your clothes can save you from being harassed by mobs, so why not? Green really couldn't find a reason not to take off his clothes.
Green had just taken off his short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper half of his body when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Green looked to the side......
"Holy! How did you get in!? Green discovers that Natalie, the red-haired girl, has followed suit.
Natalie looked at Green strangely, a little puzzled as to why Green had suddenly started undressing.
Green silently put his clothes back on.
Green found that his skin wasn't thick enough.
At the time of the crossing, he had been running naked in the wilderness, so Green was used to running naked in the wilderness or something. But Green's "discipline" still hasn't faded after all, so Green still can't do it a little bit in front of a young girl or somethingβeven if Natalie may not care.
After putting the clothes back on, Green looked at Natalie blankly, feeling a little tangled.
Girl! Why did you run in too? You're embarrassing me.
