Chapter 10: The Demon King and the Way of Communication

The village of Lapula, the Church of Mother Earth.

"You say there are hidden monsters in the forest maze? Did you get this fur in the labyrinth? The blonde nun with huge (harmony) breasts looked at Natalie's panther fur from the labyrinth with a look of surprise on her face.

The smooth and soft black fur tastes like a top-notch satin, and even if the blonde nun doesn't know much about business, she can still make a judgment that it is "worth a lot".

"Yes." Natalie happily spoke, "Green and I were barbecuing in the forest when we were suddenly attacked by a black panther. Thanks to Green, otherwise I would be in danger. ”

The nun glanced at the red-haired girl's arm and found that there was no crystal on the girl's adventurer bracelet: "The hidden monster didn't drop the "God-given Crystal"? Did you use the last "God-given Crystal"? ”

"It's fine." Natalie clutched her wrist with a nonchalant expression on her face, "I'm familiar with the forest maze, and I can easily clear the level even if I can't see the 'border'!" ”

Blonde nun: "Don't do that again. ”

Natalie stuck out her tongue and didn't speak.

"Take the fur and show it to Mr. Karui, it's a good thing that the village has one more specialty." The blonde nun will

"Yes." Natalie rolls up the fur.

"What about the mage? Why isn't he with you? ”

"He's still in the labyrinth, saying that he wants to prepare a spell, and he may have to wait a while to come out."

……

At this time, in the labyrinth.

Green was sitting next to the portal out of the labyrinth, eating a barbecue.

The amount of barbecue is very large, although there is no seasoning, so the taste is relatively average, but at least it is much better than relying on water to satisfy hunger.

After a few catties of barbecue, Green finally felt a sense of fullness, and the feeling of only well water swaying in his stomach finally disappeared.

"Ah...... I always feel that I am developing more and more in the direction of foodies. Looking at the barbecue next to the campfire, Green's mood was very complicated, "I really miss the amount of food I used to eat." ”

If it is only used to support the energy of one's own actions, although the amount of food is much more than that of ordinary people, it is still barely within the scope of human beings. However, if you want to convert the food you eat into "chaos magic" and store it, then your stomach will become a "bottomless pit".

Green was eating the barbecue as he checked his "Chaos Mana" amount.

Normal food is much more efficient at transformation than dirt and wood. A few catties of meat can be digested after resting for more than ten minutes, and if you chew it slowly, Green can even ensure that the digestion speed is the same as the speed of eating.

After eating all the fruits and roasted meat, Green's "Chaos Magic" barely reached 12 points, meeting the requirements for learning a low-level spell.

"Keep two points of Chaos Magic as an emergency, and you can use exactly ten points to learn skills."

Green glanced at the spells under the list of skills.

————

Fluent in language: Able to understand any language.

Cost: 1 Chaos Mana. (Lasts 100 minutes)

Mastery of Spells: 10 Chaos Mana. (Learn this spell as a skill, and you can use it at any time by consuming mana.) )

Constant Spell: 100 Chaos Mana. (Stick this spell effect on yourself, you don't need to use it, it works forever.) )

————

10 points of Chaos Magic can only master the lowest level of [Proficient Language], not enough to master the higher level of [Clever Tongue] or [Mind Connection], which cannot allow Grimm to gain the ability to "speak", and can only allow Grimm to understand the language spoken by others.

Although [Knowing Language] cannot completely solve Green's current language communication barrier, as long as he can understand other people's language, then at least Green will not be sold and not known. Not only that, but as long as he can understand the local language, it will be easier for Green to learn the local language.

So after a brief hesitation, Green decisively learned the spell.

————

Fluent in language: Able to understand any language.

Cost: 1 mana/hour

————

As soon as he learned the spell, as soon as Green's heart moved, the spell involuntarily activated.

Looking at the 1 point of magic power that was deducted, Green frowned slightly: "It is worthy of being a demon king, the use of magic is like instinct, and it was activated accidentally." ”

There are no spells or spells, and spells are as natural as breathing. As soon as Grimm moved his mind, the spell was automatically activated, just like he had when he had used the Identification Technique or the "summoning system" before.

Unlike [Identification], which requires the target of the spell to be specified, the target of [Fluent Language] is Grimm himself, so even a slight movement in his heart will cause the spell to be activated. In order to avoid meaningless mana consumption, Green set the activation of [Fluent Language] to a sound activation.

After finishing the spell and eating the food, Green left the labyrinth.

Outside the labyrinth, two villager children are helping to hoe grass in the small field next to the church.

Seeing Grimm coming out of the labyrinth, one of the human teenagers pointed at Grimm and shouted, "Ah, it's that foreign mage! ”

Another girl with cat ears on her head raised her head and glanced at Green: "Aaron, don't want to be lazy~"

"Huh~" The human boy smacked his lips and continued to squat in the field with an unwilling face, helping to hoe the grass.

Green looked at the two children and looked up at the sky that had begun to slowly sink westward.

"Wow, it's so late. Looks like I'm really going to sleep on the streets today. "After a full meal, he mastered a new skill, but at the price, Green now has only five copper coins left on him.

This money is obviously not enough to stay in a hotel.

Anime novels are all lies! The "luxury" of the hotel is not at all affordable for ordinary adventurers, and a "poor demon king" like Green, who has no source of income, can only sleep on the side of the road.

Green touched a few copper coins in his pocket: "I have to find a way to make money." ”

The village of Lapura is largely self-sufficient. The labyrinth provides meat, the village grows some crops, and the forest provides wood and some forest specialties, and is generally a self-sufficient manor-like economy.

In this kind of manor-based economic collective, there is simply no place where the "traverser" can give full play to his strengths. Fortunately, in addition to the identity of the "traverser", Green is also a demon king, a demon king who can be opened!

"Go to Natalie and ask me how to become an adventurer. I'm afraid that the source of funds in the early stage can only fall on this. ”

Green walked towards the village.

The village is not large, and you can see the end almost as far as the eye can see. However, when Green arrives at Natalie's house, he finds that the door is locked and no one seems to be in the house.

"Outlander Meow, what are you doing here?" Just then, an old lady with cat ears appeared behind Green.

Green turned his head to look at the old lady with cat ears on crutches.

"Granny, do you know where Natalie is?" Green pointed to Natalie's home and asked the old lady.

Old lady with cat ears: "...... Can't you use the spell you got that communicates with people? ”

Thanks to the use of [Literate Language], Green was able to understand the old lady's words, but the old lady could not understand what Green was saying.

After thinking about it, Green pointed to Natalie's house, "Natalie." ”

"Huh?" The old lady with cat ears was full of confusion.

"Natalie." Green points to Natalie's home, trying to use body language to make the old lady understand what she means.

"Hmm...... Natalie? ”

"Hmm!" Green nodded vigorously, "Natalie." ”

"What's wrong with Natalie?"

"I want to see ...... Natalie. Green patted himself, then pointed to the house, trying to use body language to make the old lady understand what he meant.

"What's wrong with Natalie?" The old lady was completely unable to understand Green's body language.

Natalie...... I...... See her. Green gestured to the house, then made a hugging gesture, trying to use body language to make the old lady understand what he meant.

The old lady with cat ears watched Green wriggle around like a monkey, striking all sorts of strange poses and movements: "...... You can't be trying to plot against Natalie, are you? I'll tell you, Natalie grew up watching me, and if you want to have bad intentions toward Natalie, we're not going to let you go! ”

Green covered his forehead, feeling a little desperate! "Body language" really doesn't work that well.

"Body language", also known as "body language", is a communication method that conveys the thoughts of characters through the coordinated activities of human body parts, and vividly expresses their meanings. When Columbus first arrived in the New World, he did not understand the language, so he relied on body language to communicate with the indigenous people.

Just as Green was having a headache and communicating with the old lady with cat ears, a red-haired girl came up to her.

"Huh? Grandma Meowpath~ And Master Green, what are you doing at my doorstep? Natalie walked over.

"Natalie, you have to be careful of this foreigner, he seems to have ill intentions towards you and wants to tease you." The old lady with cat ears immediately said to Natalie.

"Not really!" Green hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, with a very obvious wry smile on his face, signaling Natalie not to misunderstand.

The red-haired girl looked at Green's expression and gestures and thought for a moment, "Ahaha, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between you." ”

Reasonable! Girl, you're so sensible!

Green nodded movingly, affirming the girl's guess.

Natalie smiled: "Ah~ By the way, this is the money from the leopard skin before." The girl took out a few silver coins from her bag and handed them to Green.

Looking at the silver coin handed over by the girl, Green was stunned.

"For me?" Green pointed to the silver coin in the girl's hand, and then to himself.

"Yes." The girl nodded, "This is the money for the leopard skin from before." ”

Seeing the silver coin handed over by the girl, Green felt a little hesitant.

"You deserve it. If you hadn't saved me, I might have died in the leopard's mouth. And that jungle panther was also killed by you. ”

Hearing the girl's words, Green took half of the silver coin from the girl's hand, and then pushed the rest back: "The God-given crystal is yours, so we are each in half." ”

The girl looked at Green and blinked.

Finally, the girl smiled and put away the rest of the coins.

"Natalie."

"Huh?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Green.

"I want to be an adventurer, what should I do." Green pointed to the adventurer's bracelet on the girl's left wrist, then raised his left wrist and gestured at it.

After a long day of analogy, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up!

"You want to be an adventurer?"
