"I need a raise," said Victor, who was in cup-shaped.

The goddess Shesha replied, "Me too." The reptilian god and Camila settled down in the hidden room, the skeleton guards bowing before them. Clearly, God didn't mind hearing Victor's thoughts.

"You want a raise?"

"Although I was commissioned by your dragon friend to resurrect you and the chosen people of Cybele, it costs a lot of money to bring a mortal back to life without a vessel."

"We can talk about that later," Camila said. "There's a couple of things we'd like to make sure with you, Victor."

The cup waited silently.

"Last night...... You gain a deeper understanding of the universe through medicine. "Camila seems to be deeply embarrassed." Do you remember anything?" Is it like seeing us gods compromise?"

"I don't quite remember." Victor wisely kept the truth to himself. "After the slime totem part, everything is blurry."

"Good," she said reassuringly. "Good. Our believers are not ready. ”

"Now, for my own benefit." Xue Sha nodded, her gaze becoming stern. "Can players level up?"

If Victor had a head, he would have nodded. "Yes. Yes, they can. ”

Both goddesses listened to him, and he reported to them about the battle with Wotan, including what he had learned from [Monster Insight]. The more he spoke, the more God frowned. "This is very worrying," Camila announced. "I'll share that information with everyone."

"Wild hunting is increasing around the world," she added. "First Gardemani and the Winter Kingdom, then the Eastern Continent Selica. Now I understand why. ”

"They're grinding," the minister realized in horror. "Just like us. They are preparing for war. ”

"Normally, the locals of Serica have now organized themselves and repelled them, but the magical plague spread by the former Mel Lin has disrupted everything," lamented Camila, herself the goddess of disease. "I asked my followers to study the antidote, but progress was slow."

"Can a man become a god?" Xie Sha asked a most terrible question. Sabla

and Dice were both created by one person, so ...... Maybe a fairy can be promoted to Valhalla when she reaches level 99.

The thought that there might be a former god was silent for a while.

"It's impossible," Victor swore in.

"No, no," replied Camilla firmly, "for that, Vajkel needs you to live well." ”

"Unfortunately, you didn't meet my cost requirements," Xie Sha said.

"Of course, we can use the gold reserves of the Gollums." Victor suggested.

"No, in your entire empire, you barely have enough money to fund two resurrections." "Your soul is slightly cheaper, because your soul is still anchored on the material plane."

"What? This is nonsense!" Victor protested. "You can change reality as much as you want, but is it too costly to rebuild a mortal's body from scratch?"

"Do you think death is a revolving door?" Shesha replied. "As strange as it sounds, yes, rebuilding a mortal coil suitable for a primordial soul is harder than it seems, especially when the target has already been reincarnated."

"The same for you?" Victor asked Camilla. "I mean, I don't want to ask you for help, but you're a witchcraft."

Camila shook her head reluctantly. "Victor, how much do you know about God?" How do we work?"

"You've won a great victory at Valhalla and gained extraordinary cosmic power?"

"That's right, but it's far from the whole story." Camila replied. "When we proved ourselves at Valhalla, we earned the 100th rank: the highest (god) profession. Among the many benefits, it elevates our mortal professions and privileges to divine variants. For example, I have 30 levels in Ascension Necromancer and 10 levels in Ascension Plague Doctor. ”

"Ah, is that what determines that your portfolio is a god?" Victor guessed. "Shesha must be a hat and you're a necromancer."

But it also means that our cosmic powers, though enormous, are limited by the class we have chosen, and we cannot change them after deification. Thanks to the divine Pe

k, if a mortal pays her enough money by the standards of the system, she can buy anything, even a new life. ”

"Of course, I take 20 percent," said the goddess of business. "I can't let the crisis affect my bottom line."

Camila said sadly, "Because I have never entered a hierarchy that allows true resurrection, I can only resurrect my followers as undead." "As far as I know, apart from Shesha, there is only Sabla

and Dice is able to completely revive you, and their methods are different. ”

"And you...... You can resurrect me, but only make me undead?"

"As the goddess of death, I can do that," Camila said. "But I would prefer that you get back to your full life."

Well? Victor too, because he likes to be alive, but why is the goddess of witchcraft against him becoming undead? Because she wants him to be one himself?

Camila explained, "If you're destroyed as an undead, you'll never have a chance to do it all over again." "Unless your rank is a Lich or a Dragon, and you don't meet the requirements for both. Considering your suicidal tendencies......"

"This is my third time!" Victor complained, but realized she had a point. Becoming a demon might help, but he'd rather avoid being trapped in hell for the rest of his life.

"I can't do the resurrection without your consent," Shesha said. "The choice is yours."

"Isn't my "Sasa Cafe" discounted?"

"Yes, and I've already applied." Damn it. "I'm curious, who killed you so thoroughly this time?"

"Aknapep, Prophet of Sabra."

"Him?!" To Victor's surprise, the calm face of the greedy goddess turned into pure rage. "He's still alive?"

"I wouldn't say he's alive, but yes, he's still there. Do you know him?"

"That wicked bastard ruined my resurrection business!" Shesha grumbled loudly, her sacred voice shaking the walls. "Once upon a time, heroes paid me a lot of gold every year to train their own heroes, until he devised his goddamn minister's list of schemes and shared it with everyone in the world who wanted to be the overlord!" At its most popular time, no villain was left with a body, within the budget of an adventurous party!"

Camila said a few cautious words to Victor in sign language, while Sasha kept growling. "Don't tell her we have a class based on his teachings at Slingmans." Cup explained.

"Despite my best efforts to cover up this fact, elite criminals are now either destroying the bodies of their victims or blocking the souls of their victims and depriving me of the market share I deserve!" Shisha continued on her way, completely oblivious to her companion. The more she spoke, the more Victor was reminded of a demon merchant. "Now there are only a handful of villains like Mel Audius who only have corpses left!" Did Vaquiel wipe out that scoundrel once and for all?"

"I ...... I don't know, maybe?" Victor replied that he was haunted by the fire in the goddess's eyes.

"If he had, I would make him a saint," Shesha declared. "With a lifetime discount card."

The goddess finally calmed down, and Victor began to think about his situation. As much as he wants to get back into life, the cost of raising Allison and himself will weaken Mu financially at a time when all available resources are needed

mu

i

。

"One man brought Alison back to life." Victor decided.

"Are you sure?" Camila asked him. "Do you want me to turn you into an undead?" Or go back to the world of happiness?"

"Give me a moment," Graquin replied. "My soul is attached to that cup and the resources I have, and I believe I can find a way to resurrect myself. Even if no one has found a way before!"

"That's entrepreneurship." Xie Sha appreciated his determination. "When the existing offer is not satisfactory, innovate and conquer the market."

"To motivate you, if you can survive without God's help, I'll give you a gift." Camila winked at him.

"Oh? What kind of-"

"Minions!"

Before Victor could react, his cup-shaped body teleported from Kukulcan to the ruins of Eldorado, right in front of an enraged dragon.

"Minions!" Van Kerr glared at the Holy Grail, "How dare you refuse to work?" I've invested so much in you?!"

"Your Majesty, I swear I'm doing this to save you money!" I can support myself at a lower cost!"

"You're the best!" Winkel complained, a little calmer than before. Victor found that he had gained a lot of weight and had a full belly. Did the dragon eat a cow when he was partying in the Promised Land?

Luckily, as he expected, the team managed to defeat Akhnapep, turning El Dorado from a pile of golden rubble to a pile of stone rubble. Chocolate recovers with Felix and Furiben's fellow explorers. Kia is busy praying next to him while he notices Julie and the Kobold Ranger taking care of a giant dinosaur in the background.

Before a brief pause, the cup almost asks the locals where they have gone. "Wait, can you understand me?"

"I adjusted your soul's frequency to make it work like telepathy." Freben glanced down at Victor, with the scythe in his hand. "This is how I communicated with Mrs. Moore when I was trapped by your scythe, during your first visit to Blissful Land."

"Huh? Thank you. ”

"I only did it because the dragon kept haunting me, not because I cared." Furiben shrugged, revealing a tsunami-like skeletal face.

"Don't think we're even, lich." The two old enemies glared angrily, and Victor could almost see the lightning in their eyes.

"Finally, Manlin, your figure is commensurate with who you are." Felix the cat licked his beard, and Van Kerr was too busy glaring at his enemies to notice. "You've become a perfect litter box."

"No!" Victor complained, but the cat had already begun to climb on him. "Someone help me!" Help!"

"Felix, bad cat!" Chocolati

e quickly grabbed G

ail-ku

, holding her to her chest, away from the attention of this vicious cat. If Victor felt anything, he would feel comfortable in the situation.

"So, Vic, I'm just asking the goddess Sasha to bring Alison back to life?" Kia briefly interrupted her prayers. "I can only cast (Co

tact god) so many times. ”

"Yes, I would think of a cheaper way to recover myself, as they say, ladies first," Victor replied.

"You're the best. I'm not willing to risk with crippled people. ”

Victor paused. "What?"

"I'm not going to let you go again, your party always has the best fights," Kia said in a resolute tone. "I've also found some highly sensitive information that we need to discuss."

"Me too. It's about the ex, right?"

The paladin nodded. "Do you remember those adventurers who ambushed both of our teams?"

"Those with rifles and Earth weapons?" Among those who attacked us in the Winter Kingdom back then, there was one Vermore. ”

"I wonder where their advanced weapons came from, and I think I know now."

"Yes, yes, we'll deal with those fairies in due course." Wacker interrupted their discussion. "Now continue the resurrection, minion, and put an end to the silent pain in my wallet."

"It's a shame we don't have your body, Vic," Kia sighed.

"I've got a strand of your hair," Chocolate grunted to Victor. "Is that enough?"

“… Why do you keep my hair?" Victor asked.

"Smell it while you're away, of course!"

He walked straight in.

Fu

ibo

He replied, "Hair can be used as a piece (Phylacte

y) or one piece (To

c of Soul), but not the full resurrection. "Can you keep a bone for safekeeping?"

How did Victor know that Aknapep would vaporize his body? Even the Valkyrie of Wotan decided to flirt with it.

Stripped of his privileges except for his allies, he can only summon the abilities of [the Holy Grail]. The Prime Minister can bring the dead back to life with black blood, and perhaps transfer his soul to it, but he can only be counted as an immortal.

Victor designed the [Black Grail] to restore a person's body by spraying black blood transformed by magic, regardless of the damage to the body. It can reconstruct the flesh or even just to create the undead.

However, if he fuses the prepared blood into the shape of a body with the [Black Holy Grail], using the DNA strand as a template......

Intelligence check successful!

Yes, that's it!" Choc, can you throw my hair in my cup and add some fresh blood?"

Millions of gold coins!

Take millions of gold coins from his castle's gold reserves and throw them down the sewers to resurrect a minion, and not even his best minions! If Winkel hadn't been generous, just, and a perfect example of wealth, he might have gone on a rampage.

However, the dragon managed to control himself, and the evil Shesha answered the silent prayers of the knight Kia. Allison's body, which was not tasty, was rejuvenated in a green light in front of the paladin, and he fully recovered.

"I ...... Am I alive again?" She asked, surprised to find that her minions' death care covered the devastation that came with decomposition. "I can't believe ......"

"You'd better change your tune because you owe me the next thing......" Winkel held his breath. Four thousand five hundred years!" This is the time to repay the resurrection fee of that cursed goddess! I want you to work for free until you pay off what I owe!"

"As usual," the dryad replied in a strange tone, but wisely bowed before her emperor. "I ...... I am very grateful for Your Majesty's decision. I thought you would only raise Vic. ”

"You may be a lowly servant, but you died in the line of duty to save the honor of gold itself." Winkel replied. "If I don't recognize your excellent service, I'm a master who doesn't understand others."

Over time, the dragon comes to realize that the Minions should not be thrown away casually. They have feelings of their own, and more importantly, they are more energetic than the dead to push the treasure forward. Winkel's wealth grew exponentially with the increase in the number of his minions, and as such, the two supported each other.

"Now, go earn me some money and help my chief of staff." The dragon sent her away. Leaving the "Victory Cup" to him for cheaper attempts at revival, Winkel had his minions gather today's spoils of war - from the battle and what he got after eating all the local inhabitants - in one place, so that he could keep everything for himself.

He refused to concede to Furibang, even after their brief alliance. Once his chief of staff comes back from the dead, he returns the lich to its birthplace......

"Uncle, uncle!" Julie brings him a shy, timid elf girl. "Look!"

Vai

queu

The [Virgin Princess Radar] beeps as soon as she sees it. "Julie, is this the thing I was thinking?"

"Yes!" The little dragon boasted proudly. "I caught my first princess, all on my own!"

"Congratulations!" If Winkel had been a weak, soft-hearted man, he would have cried out with joy. Instead, he affectionately rubbed his niece with his nose. "I'm so proud of you to marry a princess at your age!" I can't wait to tell Gentleman!"

"Don't do that, uncle, you've embarrassed me," Julie protested weakly, while her uncle was full of love for her.

"Do I hear the princess's voice?"

Winkel and his niece saw the shadow of a third dragon hovering above the pile of loot, and then landed majestically beside it.

The red dragon immediately recognized the golden statue in the main square of El Dorado, and after the curse ended, the golden statue came back to life. The great and famous princess has not changed much from the emperor's childhood, although he has grown up; Even more than Winkel himself. The lightning dragon's blue scales were scarred, and a row of metal horns formed a whisker-like decoration around its head. His blue eyes flashed with lightning.

“G-G

a

d

ake ?” Seeing this legend of the dragon, Julie wagged her tail excitedly.

"All right," said the old dragon. "It's me, Grandpa. I came to El Dorado in search of the golden princess, and that's all I remember. ”

"An evil villain has put this region under the curse of fake gold," said Winkel, who is still outraged by the fiasco. "I had to lift it up."

The voice...... Is that you, little Vajker?" The old dragon looked at his crimson companion, his eyes full of emotion. "Oh my God, the last time I saw you, you were just a maggot!" You've grown so big, almost as big as me!"

"Indeed, great grandfather, I am now the strongest and richest dragon in the world," Winkel boasted, while Julie stared in awe at the princess hunter. Her uncle rubbed her nose to get her closer to the legend of the dragon. "This is my lovely niece Julie, who has just welcomed her first princess!"

"Elven princess?" Grandrick checks on the shy elf, who is hiding behind her dragon trap. "And it's purebred!" Not those human and elf hybrids. I can see that you have a great appreciation for quality, even when you were younger, little Julie. Elven princesses are shrewd and rarely found in the wild! She reminds me of the ...... I caught in the Sabrais Empire."

Vai

"We found a collection of princesses and yours who almost all suffered from rabies due to quarantine," he noted. I'll get our family's veterinarian ge

Alissime domesticated them back into the princess society. ”

"Which one? Is this my first time stocking up, or is it the second time? Ever since the wizard of elven blood cast a spell on me, I've been throwing my shoes. ”

"Is it grandpa?" P

i

cess

appe

?” Knight Kia, like an arrogant minion, approached the dragons nonchalantly. "I've heard that in the Winter Kingdom, princesses are asked to disguise themselves as men in case you take them."

G

Ake frowned. "What did the man say?"

"He can't hear Kia?" Julie asked her uncle.

"Ah, yes, grandpa was deaf in his old age," Winkel told Julie. "But only for the poor."

"It's so dragon-like," said Julie, who was G-G

a

d

Ake's dragon temperament impressed.

"It's a shame!" Knight Kia complained.

"What did the homeless dwarf say?" G

a

d

Ake asked.

"You're too rich to deserve her." Winkel taunts the Paladin.

"It's true!" Grandfather said with a dragon's snobbish extreme expression. "I've lost more wealth than you can't earn!"

"Excuse me, can you tell me about one of your princess hunter adventures?" Julie pleaded with the old dragon. "When I was a maggot, my uncle Jenelisim always read me this book!"

"Oh, gladly!" And what about the time I caught the mermaid princess?" Julie listened intently, ignoring Kia, who was sulking next to her. "After hunting the crocodile princess in the jungle of Sirocco, I looked for a challenge in the East China Sea. I knew she would be one of the hardest animals to catch because the mermaid princess was cunning. Did you know that they can stay underwater for seven days and seven nights without having to breathe on the surface?"

"Seven days?" Both Van Kelle and Julie were stunned and immediately repeated it.

"For seven days, they only need five minutes of breath to repeat the cycle!" I knew that if I wanted to catch her, I would have to catch up with the mermaid princess until she had no choice but to return to the surface. For seven days and seven nights, I chased her in the East China Sea, never slept, never let her rest. The beast, as cunning as it was, took me to the Great Barrier Reef, where her kind had established a coral colony; It's where I killed a giant beast when I was younger. I knew it would camouflage in the coral, maybe it wanted to use its companion as bait and slip away on its own. But a true princess hunter is always ready. In order to catch the princess, you have to think like a princess. ”

Julie inhales. "What did you do?" What did you do?"

"I set a trap," said Grandrack triumphantly. "I made the brute think she had lost me, and—"

"It's over!"

The dragon turned around at the source of the scream, facing the most terrifying sight.

A stillborn abomination, bones, flesh, and dragon wings lay on the ground, covered in black blood. "Oh my gosh......" Cup Victo

gasping for breath, just like Julie's mom did when she laid eggs. "Oh God, try again!"

When a half-formed hand came out of the black blood that spilled from the cup, all the onlookers took a step back in horror, except for the chocolate.

Winkel immediately understood the situation.

"My chief of staff is going to have a baby, and he just had a miscarriage! Stop humiliating him!" The dragon ordered the frightened minions, then looked sympathetically at the screaming cups. "Do an honorable deed and support him in awkward silence!"

So they did so and waited patiently while the "Cup Champion" kept screaming.
