Chapter 53: The Girl's Innocence

Is it permanent preservation ability!?

Therefore, the power of stealing can be accumulated and used for oneself until one's death.

That sounds like ......

It's like an empty jar with a lot of elements.

Could it be that the so-called "one's own power can only be used by the incapable" is because of this factor?

At first glance, it does sound quite relevant, and at the same time it makes me very interested in it. Moreover, "gluttony" is different from "hunger strike", which is the original ability of gluttony, not the result of nurture after birth.

It's not magic in the form of the six elements of nature, it's a specific form of ability.

To put it bluntly - "gluttony" is a supermaterial magic, and it also proves the fact that gluttony is the chosen one.

It was shocking and a little apprehensive at the same time.

This ability is really terrifying, although this ability comes from the gluttonous flesh of the evil god, and I don't believe that "gluttony" will not have the slightest side effects. There must be limitations in use or negative effects after use.

It seems that it is still necessary to go to the human world to test the water temperature.

After secretly firming up the original decision in his heart, Wu showed a satisfied expression.

"Great performance! That's what it means to serve my patron saint. ”

"You're serious, it's just a small must-have."

"Anyway, I'm happy."

"It's a small joy to make you happy!"

Kurt responded with emotion and emotion, and his tone began to tremble with excitement.

These gods are so faithful to themselves that they are happy to be like this just by complimenting them casually.

It's really hard to understand...... However, it was through the question and answer of the seduction ability that the doubts in Wu's heart were successfully answered. The anchovy cannot damage its current self.

At the same time, Wu suddenly became interested in the origin of the oni ancho.

Since it's the product of summoning magic, you have to offer ritual sacrifices, right?

"Curious, what kind of sacrifice is needed to summon the oni anchovy?"

"I've heard it's 'baby guts.'"

"Offal...... Is it? ”

Suppressing the disgusting feeling in his heart, Wu nodded thoughtfully.

What kind of evil summoning magic is this!?

You really shouldn't ask this kind of question out of curiosity and make yourself feel extremely disgusted.

Forget it, let's forget about it.

Collect and sort out all the available clues, and you can verify two things at this time-

Gluttony once said that he was "incapable", but at the beginning, he was solidly gnawed by the ghost anchovy. The so-called incapacitated person does not have any elements in his body, how can he attract the attack of the oni anchovy?

There is a contradiction between them, and you need to find the crux of the problem yourself.

Another thing that I am more concerned about is what is the difference between this body and the human body?

It is known that a "hunger strike" can counteract the damage, but it is not known if it can be counteracted along with the pain.

And will he bleed because of this, and will his strength be sucked out...... Wait.

Aside from these personal factors, I am also curious - why do such artificial monsters appear in large numbers in the grassland?

At first, because of these strange insects, many brothers died, and they died tragically and grief-stricken.

Although such a decision does not fit in with the current situation, he now wants to avenge the death of these brothers. Destroy them or collect them for your own use.

Following the direction where the anchovy is likely to move, it may have spread to villages or towns further east.

If so, of course, it is the best.

"Keep looking east, and stop whenever the shadow of the village appears."

"Yes."

It's too late, and the picture quickly locks on to a certain village.

"Lord Fortes, this village seems like a good choice."

"Zoom in."

"Yes."

The village southeast of Eink is near the "Territory of the Merchants".

Mentally estimating the relative position, Wu seemed to have seen the village on the map of Aynk's territory.

A small village called "Tergasna Village".

It is only nearly ten kilometers away from the abandoned Eynke munitions plant in the southeast. Just pass through the Einck Arsenal and head west to reach the Strand Merchant Church. If the distance is converted into walking, about half a day, it is considered a very close location.

If we had chosen to go southeast, we might have passed through this small village that had no name.

I vaguely remember that the ministers in the royal city mentioned the situation of this village-

The head of the village of Tergasna does not seem to want to establish diplomatic relations with the other party.

The fact that the Chancellor was able to pay such close attention was due to the relationship of interests between Eynke and Strand. The Strand Merchant Church was home to many large merchants, and was the most traded merchant nation on the Starn Plains.

Not only the circulation rate of money, but even the turnover rate of merchants or the turnover of funds is the highest.

Undoubtedly the largest vault in the Staven Plains.

The well-established economic flow has led to the desire of all countries to establish diplomatic relations with this commercial center, and of course the Kingdom of Eynk is not surprised. It is true that there are many transactions between the two countries, but the distance between the two countries is long, and the transportation is not convenient.

For this reason, the two countries very much want to have a meeting point - it happens to be the "village of Tergasna".

However, the head of the village seems to be very stubborn and unwilling to have anything to do with any country.

So it's a very independent little village.

"What do you think?"

"There is indeed no interference from relevant countries around, and there are only a few small villages, which seem to be very conducive to concealing their whereabouts."

"That seems to be the case."

"Let's zoom in——! I wanted to see everything in the village. ”

"Yes."

As Kurt's two fingers gestured outward, the picture gradually became clearer.

It's just an ordinary small village, nothing special.

A simple thatched house, farming tools can be found everywhere, and common poultry are raised.

It doesn't look unusual, but there are no signs of being attacked by the anchovies.

That being said, the limits of what the "Sky Eye" can identify are only in the distant view of the village, and cannot penetrate deep into the house.

At most, you can only see villagers and children walking around the village.

Suddenly, Wu who was staring at the picture noticed something unusual-

"Am I the only one who is wrong? There don't seem to be any boys in this village? ”

Wu's question made Kurt stick his neck out and take a closer look.

"It doesn't seem like you're delusional."

"How so? Could it be the village's fertility policy? ”

"It's very strange indeed—how can there be no men!?"

As if a nerve had been touched, Kurt, who had been very calm from the beginning, showed a rare anger.

Wu was absolutely frightened and speechless for an instant.

"Why did you suddenly get so angry?"

"Uh——! I'm so sorry for the small gaffe. ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, let's move on. ”

As if it was an illusion just now, Wu pretended to be calm and continued to think.

Where did you just go——?

That's right! There is no question of why there are no men in this village.

According to the current fertility technology, it should not be possible to control the number of genders, let alone half a boy.

It's not quite right to say it's a conscription – the village is not connected to half of the country.

Moreover, the phenomenon of male disappearance is not limited to adult males.

Not even a single male toddler.

It's impossible to recruit children who have problems walking, right? In this seemingly peaceful scene, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seems that this will be my first stop in the human world with a new physical body.

"You can take back the 'Sky Eye'."

"Yes."

At the sound of a command, the mirror suddenly dissipated into the air as cracked fragments.

The crisp sound of breaking is unique in the silent garden, representing the sound of a clarion call to make up one's mind.

"It's a nice village, it looks like it's supposed to be here."

"What are you going to do with this village?"

"In my opinion, this village is just a foothold for me to get in touch with the human world, and it is not very important."

"Is it necessary to destroy the village when it's done?"

"Have you forgotten what I said? More is better than less, and it doesn't make much sense to do so. ”

"Non-...... I'm so sorry! ”

"I understand your eagerness to destroy the Plains, but there is nothing good in your hassle, and you need to be cautious at this stage."

"It's worthy of Lord Fortes, who is always so thoughtful."

Kurt praised Wu with considerable admiration, and his tone was very sincere.

However, Wu ignored it, ignoring Kurt's admiration.

Being treated with such reverence since being born again is not entirely bad, although unaccustomed.

This is also the best spirit that perfectly embodies the "following respects".

"Besides—because Ronensm is going to be with me, I want to take care of his appearance."

"On this note, I think there are gods around the Night Pavilion who are good at costume design."

"Oh? What's your name? ”

"Lord Annunciation, it's Miss Idhela, the witch of dreams."

Wu kept rummaging through the name of Idhela in his memory, and finally thought of a graceful woman.

However, just to confirm the existence of this god, Wu did not continue to think about it.

"In that case, help me relay it to the Night Pavilion and Longensmu, and let them solve the problem before the mission leaves."

"Yes."

"Well—things seem to be almost delivered, so that's pretty much it."

"The little one is ready to plan the mission first."

"Okay, stand down."

Kurt bows as a farewell salute.

Wu just nodded slightly—and in the blink of an eye, Kurt was gone.

For such an efficient way of moving, Wu already felt commonplace, and there was no surprise at all. Instead, he pondered the goal of the operation in his mind.

My original intention was to choose a remote village, adapt to this body, and experience "gluttony" and "hunger strike".

Since he has not yet manipulated the physical experience of being in the human world, and the unknown side effects, he has to be careful, and if there is a problem, he must return to space immediately.

I am already a god who lives in a different environment, and no one can guarantee that he will be able to adapt to the environment of the human world.

At the same time, try to find out if you can sort out the big things on the plain from the villagers of this village.

According to the only known large countries, there are five in total -

- Taking into account military strength and living standards, the "Kingdom of Aynck" in the center of Stafen.

- The military strength is on par with Einke, and the mysterious position of the "Santo Salon Cult".

- A powerful country opposed to the Kingdom of Aynk, the "Banlevor Empire" located northeast of Stafen.

- Located southeast of Stafen, the "Stellan Merchant Country" is known for its developed trade.

- Famous for its mastery of "alchemy", "Setwa City" on the west side of the Staphen Plains.

The country that is most taboo on itself is, of course, the "Kingdom of Eynke". The "Ban Lev Empire" is second. As for the other three countries, at least they didn't have any contact with each other during their lifetimes, so they don't need to worry too much.

At present, the most incompatible relationship on the plains is none other than Stafen and Banlevel. The other three countries remained neutral.

If you want to survive in such an environment, you can still smoothly analyze the ability to be gluttonous.

Sitting alone in the garden, Wu looked forward to it.

It's still half an hour before we go to the human world—

In this spatial corridor, in a virtual room on the right, there are five gods who have already been prepared.

The remaining five Patronus Spirits except for Kurt.

Unlike other rooms with bloody landscapes, the gods are in a rustic conference hall.

In the center of the large conference hall is an obsidian round table, and the surrounding walls are designed with totemic wall patterns. There is also a coffee table for resting and a wooden bookcase for books. Of course, for the gods, these are not practical furniture, at most they are just landscaping.

The round table was nearly half the size of the room, and the five figures sitting at the table showed their different sitting postures.

Needless to say, Yege naturally relied on a wheelchair, he did not sit on the wooden chair in the conference hall, and he had the tone of a kind old man, but his appearance was unusually shocking, and he was indeed the most vivid god.

Chio maintained an elegant ladylike sitting position, resting her white jade hands flat on her legs together, her eyes closed, her demeanor elegant and calm, it was difficult to see the previous frenzy of gluttony, and showed a violent side.

The siren was a little childish, moved the back of the chair to his chest, knelt mischievously on the wooden chair, hugged the back of the chair, and did not explain in particular, it was really impossible to see that this childish child was like a five-year-old, and he was already a thousand years old.

Kui Yong sat in his chair with his head held high, sitting quietly as if in contemplation, not moving, breathing and exhaling are the weapons of a warrior, relying on the flow of air and keen perception, Kui Yong seems to be in a state of readiness at any time.

Longensmu was more self-contained, staring wholeheartedly at the tips of his fingers in tattered skin, rubbing each other, as the most shy god among the six guardian gods, he didn't seem to have obvious estrangement or friendship with other gods.

Old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time should have been lively greetings and small talk - but unexpectedly quiet.

Because they are all thinking about their own hearts, they don't have much energy left to start a new conversation. It wasn't until the sixth figure appeared out of thin air in the conference hall that the silence was shattered.

"Guys, I'm late."

As if falling from the sky, Kurt who appeared at some point stepped lightly and habitually arranged his sleeves.

Kurt's appearance also smoothly caused a lot of conversation.

The first to start the topic was Kui Yong, who sat as still as water.

"Did you give you any new instructions?"

When asked, Kui Yong did not turn his head to look at Kurt, and maintained a motionless sitting posture, probably not even opening his eyes, but simply relying on the unique smell, the abnormal airflow, and the change in temperature, he felt Kurt's arrival.

"Just trying to get a glimpse of the full face of the human world, it seems to be picking a foothold."

"Where to stay? Isn't that my mission with you? ”

"Don't get me wrong, this is a matter that adults deal with privately, and it doesn't conflict with the content of our mission."

"Wow!"

Kurt's response seemed to intrigue the Night Court, and his rotten eyes slowly turned to Kurt.

"But why do you want to go to the human world again? Haven't you already been there? ”

The eerie, shriveled inquiring voice emanated from the rotting lips of the Night Pavilion.

Kurt didn't have an answer in his mind, because he couldn't figure out the gluttonous thoughts.

So he showed an unexplained look of confusion.

"I don't know, maybe it's Master Fortes' plan."

"By the way—you seem to be adjusting well to Mistress Fortes's new name?"

Chio asked in a rather calm tone.

From the tone of inquiry, I couldn't tell whether I was impressed or puzzled by this—

Why was Kurt able to change his old naming habits so quickly?

"I'm not really used to it, but since it's an adult's order, we should hypnotize ourselves as soon as possible."

"Still—I don't like the name."

"No offense, don't you like the new name that Master Forts himself has chosen?"

"Of course not, this name is full of wisdom and domineering, how can you not fall in love with this new name?"

"And what do you mean by disliking ......?"

"It's for the long-term love, so easily erased by reality!"

"Well...... A little hard to understand? ”

"Of course, you don't understand the subtleties of this peculiar taste, but I've been in love with gluttony all my life."

"No—honestly, I don't understand either."

Kui Yong, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly interjected.

"You don't have to say it, do you? How can you, who only have weapons in your eyes, know the 'innocence of a girl'? ”

"Maybe."

"Really——? I must have made a lot of sense, right? ”

"It's noisy! How old are you, and you're still talking about 'girly innocence' over there? There is no shame in it. ”

The siren, who couldn't stand it, attacked the self-satisfied Chio with a rather childish mockery.

This, of course, will cause Chiao to be unhappy.

The two quarreled again.

"Look at you dead Lori, aren't you also an old woman who has survived for thousands of years?"

"At least I don't need to hide my age with hypocritical rouge powder!"

"Oh the ——? It seems that you are not using your own power to change your appearance? How dare you say it! ”

"Even so! I don't spend all day pestering for gluttony...... Master Fortes! It's so annoying that there's no room for freedom. ”

"I told you so! That's not 'annoying' Master Forts! It's just the basic etiquette of the above and the bottom. ”

"Oh? So your so-called 'basic etiquette' is to stick your whole body to the adult's body? ”
