Chapter 21: Minions of the Month

Victor walked out of the Gollum Castle – or rather, out of the remnants of the ruins – his throat still aching from the shouting, and only one thought in his head.

“Fffffff……”

They are doomed.

200 dragons! Two hundred dragons, and he would brag to them about how being an adventurer made him richer! How can this not backfire?

This and Winkel gradually became smarter. He noticed that Victor had sacrificed his items, and that even if the adventurer could distract him, he would need to replace them as soon as possible.

The notification of his new rank ascension really alleviated his fears.

Congratulations! You delivered the fatal blow on an ancient lich on behalf of your dragon master and cunningly trapped the soul in your scythe, and you earned two ranks in [Monster Squire] and [Reaper]!

+90 hp, + 20 sp, +2 st

, +4 vit, +4 ski, +4 agi, +3 i

t, +3 cha, +3 lack !

You have received [Wizard Upgrade] and [Necromancy II] class perks.

[Mook Boost]: If your level is higher than the theoretical danger level of the evolved monster and the hidden condition is met, you can make your followers evolve into a more powerful form. Promoted minions maintain their previous class level.

[Necromancy II]: You can learn and cast Necromancy up to Tier II. Replaces Necromancy I.

By consuming the soul of a powerful lich, your [Killing Scythe] has been upgraded to [Killing Scythe+]. + 25% chance to deal a critical hit.

Oh my god, those things that grow, he was so lucky today. At this rate, he will soon catch up with the "Flash Knight".

Warning: You have reached the level 30 class cap.

You will no longer be able to earn extra levels until you use a [Crown].

You can still get perks through special actions, but your XP will be set to zero.

Belch?

What, is the ceiling flat? Does he need a bribery system to get into the middle class? Damn, it's the same as on Earth.

This time, though, the system gave him more explanations.

[Badges] are powerful but rare items that allow players to break through the class cap of level 30.

[Hero Badge] is a rarer and more powerful [Badge] that needs to be broken to break the level 60 class cap.

After that, you can freely upgrade to level 99, which will allow you to enter Valhalla and try your hand at apotheosis.

Valhalla Temple. The final challenge. Only 12 creatures survived and walked out as the gods of Ultramond.

However, he didn't know where to find Crest, or even what it looked like. There will be a problem later. There are more pressing things than levels or preparing for show day.

"Fuliben." Victor shouted at his scythe, the lich's terrifying face revealing on the blade. “Fu

ibo

Are you there?" Fu

ibo

Recovery?"

"What? The lich whispered in exasperation.

He does understand him. "What's the deal with the iPad?" The lich's silence made him roll his eyes. "The apple of knowledge."

"Why should I tell you?" I hate you, and I hate everything that dragon represents. I want you all to die. ”

"Thank you, you're so nice. As for why......" Victor smirked slyly at the lich. "For if not, I will give the scythe to Vaquil, and you will be a part of his treasure forever. You will have to support his madness until the end of the world, watching him bathe in gold in the basement of your castle and sprout gibberish until you go mad. ”

The lich's terrible silence is golden. "You're a monster," Furibon said. "You look weak and innocent, but you're a monster."

"Humanoid/Dragon." Victor confirmed. "Now tell me, before I get my hands dirty. You know I will. ”

Furiben sighed angrily, but he hated Van Kerr too much to refuse. "My master, Brandon Moore, to put it in your rude words...... Choosing the wrong horse. He helped in the war between the former people and Gadmani led by King Baraur so that he could occupy the southern territories, but his side failed. Now, with the defeat of the fairy lords, Gardemani has many adventurers and crusaders and no enemies to fight. ”

"So he's afraid that Gadmani will attack him next."

"Prydan and the Black Forest are strongholds of the remnants of the orcs, too dangerous for Gardmani to threaten, but not Ishfania. Having suffered heavy losses in the war, my master no longer had the strength to face the full strength of his neighbors. ”

"Well, he's desperate to find a way to turn the tide and save the rest of his territory" Using the coke oven to distract adventurers in an attempt to summon reinforcements from hell...... "Let me guess, he thinks weapons from other worlds can solve his problems?"

"We always look at the technology on the planet, as long as we can find it. In many ways, it does our own magic. King More gave a great reward to Somi, who was willing to share his knowledge with him, and one day, the black woman brought him a man with an apple of knowledge. ”

That story sounds familiar. "Is that woman's name Laverly?"

"Nope. The woman's name was Melodiuse. She is a poison in human form, a beautiful, deadly flower that kills upon contact. ”

Yes. Too bad. Victor speculates that not all conspiracies are related. "So, the guy who claims to work for the biggest weapons manufacturer in my world, offers his services to Brandon Moore in exchange for power and money. He basically just changed employers. How, then, did his electronic notebook end up in Haudemer?"

"Numbers?" The lich shrugged. "The one who is claimed has grown up what you call a conscience, which I call weakness. The coward fled to Gardmani with the apple, and when human agents of Moore killed him near Hadmer, they discovered that the monster had stolen the apple. ”

Bless the kobold rangers.

"I can't unlock the magical code that protects forbidden knowledge, but King More has powerful allies, including his own Soi. Someday, knowledge will be in his hands, and you, nay, all of Outmund, will learn fear and fire. ”

Yes. Speaking of threats, all Victor hears is good news. However, the possibility of a diabolical dictator obtaining the structural drawings of the aircraft is worrying; Without the necessary infrastructure, Moore may not have been able to fully copy the original design, but Victor himself created a poor man's plane. It can be done.

He must either warn Gardemani or convince Van Kle to try to deal with Moore before he threatens the continent. "What about the woman?" What does she want? Where is she from?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. I serve my master as you serve your master, I don't ask questions. ”

There are a lot of mistakes in this statement, but the lich doesn't seem to be lying. Or even if he knew, Victor wouldn't be able to confirm it. The Squire suspects that another force is secretly supporting Moore's attack on Gardmani, but for now he can only guess who.

Oh. He will issue a warning at the same time as the "Imperial Declaration".

The kobold ranger walked out of the building behind him, pulling him out of his thoughts. Blue was holding a sword, and Victor immediately recognized him.

"Baby!" Winkel Jr. exclaimed.

"Can the sword speak?" Lan asked, examining it more closely.

"Imitation?" Red examined it and noticed a lip on the hilt. "Why didn't it bite you?"

"Because Junior is a good imitator," said Victor, the sword purring in response, "who's a good baby?" Who is Good Treasure? That's you!"

As he observed the Minions, Victor felt an instinct swell through him. He couldn't tell why, but he had a gut feeling that his [Mook P

omotio

] Pe

k works for both copycats and Red. But the other kobolds didn't; Either their evolutionary form is stronger than his, or more likely, Red gains more combat experience as the leader of the team and thus fulfills the hidden conditions.

"Rhett, come here, I'd like to taste something." Victor commanded. "Blue, give me Junior."

He patted the obedient Red on the head and took little James from the blue hand. As soon as he touched these two creatures, Pe

k is activated. Both of them were engulfed in a bright light, shapeshifting under Victor's gaze.

Red grew into a bipedal human lizard, almost as tall as Victor. His features are a hybrid of a raptor-like dinosaur and a kobold, with retractable blades on his arms. A red scarf suddenly appeared around his neck, and upon closer inspection, Victor realized that it was part of his body. As it stands, Red clearly reminds him of a reptilian version of the samurai hero he was once inspired.

"Style?" Red almost cried because he admired his new look, especially the blades. "I've got style, I've grown up!"

Copycat ......

Victor had never seen anything more terrible. This scene alone caused the kobold to ignore Red's transformation and hide behind Victor instead.

He had to put the sword down before it could finish its transformation, as it had grown quite large. The misshapen thing in front of him was the size of a horse, and its body was spherical and supported by six limbed legs. The texture of the skin reminds Victor of stones, which are easily disguised as stones.

This monster has a mouth big enough to swallow a whole person, sharp teeth, and a disgustingly long tongue. Finally, a beautiful, obviously magical sword sticks out of the body, like a decoy for a fish.

By burying itself in the ground, this creature can easily look like a sword stuck in stone, a sword that tempts foolish kings. This creature is the next evolution of adventurers heading towards total destruction.

Kobold Red is promoted to Bird of Prey Ranger.

"Sword treasure! The terrible monster roared in a strong and terrifying voice.

Victor Dalton. Pokémon Master, Minister of the Swiss Dragons.

At least they will help keep the peace. Now, first things first, buy new bracelets and necklaces to replace the ones he lost in Haudemer. He was already guilty of lying to Van Kerl, and—

Await.

Does he feel guilty about the dragon lying? Not fearing for one's life for purely pragmatic reasons, but being ashamed?

Thinking about it, even though Winkel has made it clear that he will never let Victor leave his service, the adventurer doubts if this is really a bad thing. In addition to the name, he has become the regent of the region, gained many ranks, made friends, albeit on bad terms, and received a strong protector. Winkel eventually rescued him from Furibon, even though he would have chosen to fight the Lich.

Be......

Did he really start liking Winkel?

"I think I have Stockholm syndrome."
