Chapter Index

    “What I didn’t know… … Did you really tell the Lord of the castle!? what. how? really? really? You said you did it?!? Is it really you!!?”

    A voice full of curiosity.

    And a sympathetic look in your eyes.

    Although it was a puppet chimera, its expression and voice seemed real.

    I guess someone isn’t the master of chimeras.

    Celeste.

    If you think about it, this guy may be quite eccentric, but he is very kind to Seongju. So much so that they secretly roasted and ate anyone who insulted Seongju.

    So, I must have been looked upon favorably for helping Seongju.

    That’s probably why they’re making such a fuss.

    But I can’t tell you all the information first. I’m in a position to get information from this guy. So, first of all, it’s a push and pull.

    “Let’s meet and talk about the details. Because I want to ‘deliver’ information.”

    “Huh. Did you even know that? Hehehe. okay. I don’t know what kind of guy you are, but you are the guy who made a deal with the Lord of the castle. I’ll take you as a VIP.”

    Wow.

    Drurrr!

    Coo coo coo coo.

    “… … What are you doing?”

    “Well, it’s a VIP guide.”

    The underground waterway moves.

    The path is automatically mapped out and a light comes on on the wall as if to clearly tell you to come here.

    This is something I didn’t know even in my past life… .

    “Have you been going back on purpose all this time? No, you must have been trying to figure me out.”

    “Wrong. It’s a ploy to make it as annoying as possible so they don’t come next time. If you’re an annoying guy, I could keep you trapped in the maze forever~★”

    “As expected, he’s a strange guy.”

    “Wow~ You spoke as if you knew everything about me. Didn’t you know about this?”

    “… It’s noisy so please guide me.”

    “Hehe. As instructed.”

    I walked along a straight waterway.

    like that… .

    Information from Necropolis.

    I entered Celesta’s residence.

    *

    The smell of blood.

    stink.

    And magic engineering machines and dangerous-looking experiment tools whose purpose is unknown.

    Entered Celesta’s residence.

    But what’s more serious isn’t the scenery in this room.

    It is Celesta herself.

    Grumbling… .

    Squeak… .

    Huge oval brain.

    Hundreds of tentacle arms extending from the brain.

    At the end of the tentacles extending from the upper brain are eyeballs.

    At the end of the tentacles extending from the midbrain are hands.

    At the end of the tentacles extending from the brain below are feet.

    It is completely different from the puppet chimera of a beautiful woman.

    A rather strange creature with a slight gap between the top, middle and bottom tentacles. This is the main body of Celesta.

    “Nice to meet you. I am the ‘woman’ you have been wanting to meet so much.”

    117 eyes greet each other at the same time. 154 tentacle arms stretched out. The length increased to various lengths and spread out splendidly like a peacock.

    and… It’s hidden now, but there’s a protruding shell behind it, and that’s its real ‘body’. This is because when you break the shell, the body of a surprisingly ordinary human woman comes out.

    In other words, you can think of that huge brain and all of the tentacle arms as one head.

    You still look hideous.

    Let’s not make any fuss.

    “Okay, now I want to get some information.”

    “What?… What is your assessment of me? No word? Aren’t you surprised?”

    “Should I tell you?”

    “Of course! Isn’t it beautiful? This is the image of a woman wrapped tightly in her stomach, hiding deep underground and never revealing herself!!”

    “… … … .”

    I don’t know what answer this guy wants.

    In my past life, I had openly expressed my dislike for being noisy, and he never asked me anything after that.

    This is probably just a prank to tease guys you’ve met for the first time. Anyone who sees it for the first time can’t help but be surprised by its appearance.

    [under. It’s a really unpleasant creature.]

    As you can see, Atrot’s face is very frowning. This is a normal reaction.

    Luckily, my disciple isn’t looking right now.

    If he had seen it, he would have been shocked.

    Due to blurred vision, the time spent using view sharing seemed to have decreased significantly.

    Thank you.

    “Huh? Why did you become deaf? How are you feeling? Am I so beautiful that I’m speechless? Kick… .”

    Suddenly, my disciple’s words come to mind.

    Did you say something like this when you were with Estella?

    ‘Yeah, but I think beauty depends on one’s personal taste!’

    Since I had nothing else to say, I suggested the same thing.

    “What is beautiful depends on each individual’s taste.”

    “… … … what?… really?… … .”

    117 eyes opened wide as if surprised.

    In this situation, it is a statement that is close to consideration. He seems quite shocked by that.

    Do it.

    The people who come here are all crooked and will say whatever they want. This may be the first time you’ve heard such a statement.

    Is it because of that?

    His wide-open eyes soon curled into half-moon shapes and he spoke as if in ecstasy.

    “Ah… Usually, my best and most beautiful things always looked at me with disgust… … however… by the way… Why did you say that… Ahhh… What a considerate and caring man he is!!”

    “… … … .”

    I feel like my likability has increased explosively.

    But why do I feel bad?… .

    Let’s not think about it. When it comes to trading, a good relationship is better than a bad one.

    First, let’s get the business out of the way.

    Information I want to get.

    “I want to know more about the hometown of the Uk people who recently invaded Edelin. All about how much power is possible. In return-”

    “Wait!… It’s been a while, but let’s talk slowly.”

    “… … ?”

    “Because I will not receive any compensation.”

    “What?… Really?”

    “Have you ever seen me lie?”

    “… … does not exist. No, you and I must have just met in the first place, right?”

    “You know me, right? Then that’s it. Hehe.”

    That smile is somehow creepy. But where does your voice come from?

    I can’t see my mouth… .

    What kind of plan is it to not receive compensation?

    From what I remember from my past life, he never told a lie, even if he spoke in a twisted tone that was difficult to understand, or even if he went back for an annoyingly long time.

    It must be sincere.

    It didn’t even dry out at all.

    Are you really not going to get paid?

    “Now, sit here.”

    Jiiiing!!~

    Celesta’s room moved as if rotating. The room that looked dirty with a bad smell and all kinds of experimental equipment suddenly turned into an old-fashioned living room.

    Table and chairs.

    Light that only illuminates that place.

    Cheee~

    A teacup was automatically lifted from the table, and yellow-colored water was automatically filled.

    Is it the power of advanced magic engineering?

    Unlike pure magic, there are so many things to learn, so it’s a subject I don’t know much about. This is because excellent intelligence is more important than knowledge.

    In that respect, Celesta.

    This guy is crazy.

    You can guess it just by looking at that huge brain.

    Although his speech and hobbies may seem psychotic, he is actually a master of magic engineering.

    I hate to admit it, but he is a genius among geniuses.

    I sat down on the chair and looked at him.

    Less evil~

    It picked up the car with its tentacle arms and rammed it into his head. It seemed as if it was getting into the folds of my brain and shining brightly.

    Brain lubricant?… .

    Shaking my head.

    Let’s not think about it.

    “You really won’t get paid, right?”

    The guy smiled and answered 117 times.

    “Baby~ Do you want to be upset? I keep my word. Because the Lord of Seong said so.”

    … The title has changed.

    I feel creepy.

    And then he continued speaking with a grumpy tone.

    “No… I have to get it too.”

    “… What is it?.”

    “The price is… sugar. god. It’s one.”

    “… … ?”

    Chicken flesh grew.

    I know it doesn’t mean it as it is, but it still makes me uncomfortable and makes me feel bad.

    I wanted to see my disciple’s smiling face.

    “… What exactly does it mean?”

    “Isn’t it obvious? I wonder who you are. That’s the information I need most right now. Everything from your hobbies, your name, to your private life!”

    “… I will absolutely refuse.”

    “Hmm~ Good. It will still take some time. Then, I will give you a discount just for verifying your identity.”

    “Are you okay with that?… .”

    “My favor. Because it’s love.”

    “… … … … … .”

    The hair on my whole body stood up.

    Cold sweat began to flow.

    I can’t imagine what my expression looks like right now.

    [Puhahahaha!!!! [They are a very good pair!]

    People make fun of Artrot because he likes it so much.

    Does that guy know what this feels like?

    Feeling tightly coiled.

    I wanted to escape. But I haven’t heard any information yet.

    I have to endure it… .

    ah.

    just.

    I miss my disciple.

    *

    Jureuk.

    Grumbling… .

    Tentacles wrap around the body.

    “Ah~ What will you taste like?”

    “… … Stop worrying and just do what you have to do.”

    Celesta’s tentacle arms become entangled around my body, blocking everything around me.

    What I’m doing now is simple.

    I will receive information from him.

    He is literally passing on some of his knowledge to me. By using the information delivery skill that only he has.

    The process is quite unpleasant… .

    Jureuk.

    Joowoowoo~

    Wow.

    Ah, I feel bad too.

    When I was a lich in my previous life, I was just annoyed because it was just bones, but now, because my five senses have been strengthened and it feels like a phantom beast, my whole body reacts with extreme rejection.

    I immediately wanted to wipe off this slippery solution and take a shower.

    “Now… Are you ready to go now?”

    “… … I’m fine, so do it.”

    “Then. I’ll eat well~”

    “What?”

    Phew!!-

    At that moment, a huge amount of information floods your head.

    Uk people.

    Hometown Aaron Valley.

    A total of 48 people have been reported with divine level or higher ability.

    29 new stars

    11 almighty people

    6 demigods.

    There are two gods.

    8 stars, 3-400 people.

    Aaron Valley is one of the strongest worlds.

    There are more than dozens of people with this rank.

    This… .

    It’s more than I thought.

    I never thought the power would be this big.

    Despite causing great damage to the invasion force, Aaron Valley is a place where nothing can be done.

    If those bastards come with all their might right now to kill them all, Edeline will be unable to stop the invasion and will collapse miserably.

    But it’s not like there’s no hope.

    Any world is divided into countries and have a competitive structure.

    The same goes for Aaron Belly.

    There is only one country that invaded Edelin.

    Bhatia Empire.

    It was not an agreement among all of Aaronveli, but only the Batiaman Empire was invaded separately.

    So there is a slight possibility.

    Galikstan is dead.

    Because Kaidor lost both arms.

    There are a total of 7 warriors with rank in Batia, and now there are 5 of them. In other words, the remaining skilled players are two almighty-level and two divine-level.

    For reference, the other one is the emperor, and he is a deity.

    But you won’t be able to move it yourself.

    So, if you run away and defeat the enemies one by one, you will be able to harass them.

    In addition, minor information is understandable.

    Number of troops.

    Battle methods learned by the military.

    Situation of the Bhatia Empire.

    Tangled interests between countries.

    Dangerous people from the Batia Empire.

    etc.

    That’s enough information.

    I got all the information I wanted to know.

    Jureuk.

    Grrr~

    The tentacles are released.

    “Was this helpful?”

    “… … … I like the details.”

    Celesta’s two eye-shaped tentacles squint at either side of me.

    The blush in my eyes… I guess it’s because of my mood.

    The guy spoke as if giving advice.

    “Bhatia is a dangerous place. Because Aaron Valley is the strongest nation with one god and two demigods. You probably can’t use much strength there, right?”

    But it’s okay.

    “The two demigods are no more.”

    “Hmm?”

    “Because I lost to Edeline.”

    “Oh my. really? I didn’t know that either.”

    of course.

    I came here as soon as the war ended. The news may not have spread yet.

    And with the conversation just now, Edelin’s evaluation will be upgraded. Not because they were beaten by the invasion, but because they defeated two demi-gods and caused great damage.

    Please, I hope this guy spreads it well.

    But the problem is: How can we overcome the overwhelming gap?

    It won’t be easy for me alone.

    Is there a need for something different? .

    “Now then, shall we spend the rest of the time in bed talking to you in depth?”

    “… Let’s talk about it here.”

    First, I looked at Celesta.

    Now it has come.

    If you receive information, you have to pay for it.

    That guy gave in and paid for the information first, so now it’s my turn.

    Fortunately, the reward he wants is my simple information.

    It’s not particularly difficult.

    Let’s answer quickly and get out of there.

    The moment I made up my mind, Celesta narrowed her tentacle eyes and asked.

    “What is your name?”

    “… It’s Dirus.”

    “Ah~ D. roo. Su?~♡ You finally found out your name?

    “… … … .”

    What is it?

    I’m sure it won’t be a difficult conversation.

    My face turns pale.

    Chicken flesh grows all over the body.

    iced coffee… .

    I really wanted to see my disciple.
