The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 266
Episode 267: Water Drop (3)
“Do you mean that as long as you bring a living creature that has a core, you can make it belong to the fortress in this way?”
If such a thing were possible.
‘This guy can’t be the only monster with a core.’
If you exchange [combat rations].
The people who will gather the monsters with the core are strong and strong.
‘If only I could attribute all the monsters I collected to this fortress…!’
Our unit.
You will be able to obtain tremendous power, but…
“Unfortunately, it will be a bit difficult for the current main fortress.”
“ah.”
Unfortunately.
It looks like that will be a bit difficult.
“I don’t know if the level of the fortress increases and the limit of the Bon Spirit also increases… but for now, hacking the core of one race seems to be the only limit to the Bon Spirit.”
“…I see.”
It seems that this guy’s hacking is done on a ‘race’ basis.
As long as you have already succeeded in hacking one race.
This means that it is a bit difficult to add other races.
“The same goes for races, and even if it is a race that has been successfully taken over, the number it can handle will only be within the limits of the spirit’s computing power.”
“hmm. It’s a pity, but…”
I thought as I looked at the [water droplet] standing in front of me.
“If it’s this guy, I’ll have less to worry about.”
A guy who inherited the characteristics of [Blue Drops].
And the [Blue Droplet] was able to remember and reproduce the information of the person it ate.
It’s a pity that we don’t have a large number.
Not being able to have many races would not be a big penalty.
‘Just feed this guy and that’s it.’
If you have a monster with special abilities, feed it to this monster.
It might be possible to reproduce that ability.
This guy is ultimately a fortress facility.
Of course, there were also levels as facilities.
“If your level goes up, the possibility of being able to hack other life forms with cores also increases, right?”
“Not only that, but I think the implementation rate of the original will also increase.”
“Implementation rate?”
“In the current case, the quality of the original is not that high, so most implementations are possible, but if you try to imitate a high-quality being, the loss rate seems to be enormous.”
The ability to recreate the person you ate is certainly incredible.
It seems difficult to recreate everything.
“For example, in the case of ‘Sunnayeon’, which is currently the most powerful, the original level is 6, but it would be impossible to implement this spirit at only level 3.”
“Hmm.”
“If you raise the level of this spirit, its reproduction rate will also increase.”
to sum it up.
“As you raise your level, you will be able to bind other creatures to the fortress, and the number of creatures you can control at once will also increase.”
“You are correct.”
“I said there is a limit to the number we can handle now. then.”
I looked at Vimanar’s spirit core.
He pointed his finger toward the [water droplet].
“How many [water droplets] can there be?”
“Based on level 1 main spirit, it is expected that at least 10 units can be handled simultaneously.”
I answered like that.
The guy continued talking as if he was regretful.
“That part is unfortunate.”
“huh?”
“It’s definitely a great experience. A body with tremendous versatility and potential… the problem is the number. “Even though this spirit’s computing power can handle 10, right now there is only one.”
That figure sighing.
It really didn’t seem much different from that of an ordinary human being.
“This spiritual body is so useful that it is possible to increase its number on its own, but the problem is that it cannot be increased through deception alone.”
“Is that so?”
“If only there were at least two more. “It would have been possible to increase the number by repeating absorption and decomposition to create new entities… Ah.”
Did he notice that he was sounding regretful?
The guy who looks at me and corrects his words.
“Of course, it is true that there is a limit to just one individual, but it is also true that this spirit body would be much more useful than taking over the body of a spirit. In that case, the Lord of the castle can leave with peace of mind…”
“No, there is no need to reassure me like that.”
“yes?”
I opened the [Guild Message] window.
I answered the guy.
“It’s because I don’t remember very well.”
“…?”
“We never said that was the only [water droplet] we secured, right?”
and.
Messages are delivered through guild messages.
[Private Yong-wan Lee.]
A message visible to all unit members.
In other words, this message will also be seen by Private Lee Yong-wan, who is returning to Inje-gun by now.
[I told you to bring a water droplet, but just one?]
While saying that, let’s look out the window.
flinch!
I saw a soldier stopping.
[Bring the rest too. As soon as possible.]
In those words.
The appearance of a soldier running towards the outside of the fortress at incredible speed.
“Seonglord, really…?”
“That is true.”
The number of Blue Drops killed at that time was greater than the number of troops participating in the battle at the time.
Among them.
The core didn’t disappear after the wizards killed it…
Well, I don’t remember exactly.
‘There were definitely more than 10 bottles, I guess?’
and.
A few hours later.
“I meet the Lord of Seong.”
“I meet the Lord of Seong.”
“Lord Seong….”
A total of 10 episodes.
Humans with various appearances.
At the same time, he bowed his head to me.
* * *
“So what are we going to do from now on?” I asked while looking at
the [blue droplets] that had various human shapes…
no, the water droplets of the army.
Once you give him spirit and body, he will solve the rest of the problems.
The point of this guy is to go to other areas as much as you want.
I wanted to try that method for now.
“We plan to transfer these ten individuals as new recruits to the corps.”
“Hmm. After that?”
“I would like to try to form public opinion within the corps. Even if anxiety spreads due to the absence of the Lord of the Castle, there is no need to worry.”
“Hmm… Do you think it will work out as well as you said?”
If you hide your identity and join as a soldier, you are a new recruit.
I thought it would be difficult for the public opinion that this guy was creating to become mainstream.
“Fortress Bonn knows everything that happens above it. “There is more information than you think… and every little murmur of the soldiers is heard.”
Even though the right to speak is weak.
He is bound to be more detailed than anyone else about the information that happens above this fortress.
Because that fortress is this guy’s real body.
in other words.
“If there is a soldier feeling anxious, we can immediately approach them and deal with them. “The strength of the voice will be able to overcome the weak part.”
“indeed.”
Besides that.
This guy consumes several monsters.
It seemed like he was planning to acquire some necessary abilities.
“The implementation rate will be lower, but as I said, you will be able to gain a wide variety of capabilities. Based on that ability, we will suppress or resolve all problems within the unit until the Lord Seong’s return.”
“It’s not bad. Just…”
“Just?”
I advised, smoothing my chin.
“The body you are using now… what was its name, Aunt Suni?”
“I’m not old enough to be called ‘aunt.’”
I felt like I was a little angry about something… but
I guess that was just my mood.
“When I first heard it, I heard that name. Anyway, many soldiers saw that image. “It will be difficult to transfer as a new soldier.”
“Is that so?”
“hmm. In other cases, they would have been members of the sibling group Lee Soo-yeon and Lee Soo-hyuk… so I’ll have to address those two separately. I’ll leave it to you to inform those two. “It’s something that could be viewed as uneasy because it’s a scene where colleagues from the past come to life.”
“All right. Then, I will act confidently rather than disguise my true self.”
The existence of the spirit of this fortress is already known to the unit members.
This guy gained the body of a drop of water that was defeated before.
As a result, it was possible to say something like this.
“Then… there are a few things I would like to get permission from the castle lord.”
“hmm?”
but.
From now on, I will be away and this guy will have to deal with the resulting issues.
I’ll have to get permission for some parts.
“One is about a specific force located within the castle lord’s power… that is very dependent on the castle lord.”
“Hmm.”
“I’m asking just in case… Is the Lord of the castle aware of this?”
“Ah, I know.”
After inflating my criminal record to a strange degree.
The fact that there are soldiers who are strangely dependent on me.
I already knew that much from hearing it from the leaders.
“As expected, Lord Seong. “You already knew.”
“You said you can know everything that happens within the fortress? “Isn’t it normal for me to know what I already know?”
“Since you never mentioned them directly, I thought you might not know about them. Well… there’s no way the Lord of Seong wouldn’t have noticed that this is a group that shows off so openly.”
“of course.”
The only thing that bothers me a little is…
the part about it being a specific group.
‘Well… I guess a group of soldiers who had such misconceptions gathered together and talked about something was created.’
There are many cases where like-minded soldiers become close friends.
It must be about that kind of group.
“…You really know, right?”
“I heard it’s true.”
“This is a story about people whose dependence is unusually high. “Do you really know?…”
“I know.” “That’s why you can’t leave as you wish, so you’re taking this complicated approach, right?”
“That’s true, but… I thought you might not know exactly, so I’d like to elaborate.”
“What a bother. “Let’s leave this conversation here.”
Because I’m trying to explain in detail what I already know.
I stopped talking.
“Follow orders.”
A guy who absolutely obeys my orders.
Fortunately, there was no need to listen to any annoying explanations.
“Now that they are growing too freely, I would like to intervene a little.”
“It’s called intervention.”
“It is true that the excessive dependence has actually become a nuisance to the Lord of the castle. “This incident alone actually hindered the Lord of Seong’s movements.”
but.
Sergeant Park Tae-jun seems to need to intentionally increase the number of such guys.
Tried to inflate my reputation.
“He must have meant something by giving that advice. Reducing that dependence is the opposite.”
“I think so too. However, if it grows promiscuously without any guidelines, it may grow into a force that causes trouble to the Lord of Seong in the future.”
The artificial spirit in human form smiled slightly and said.
“I want to intervene so that they can grow in a way that is helpful to the Lord of Seong. “Can you please allow it?” They are
‘certain forces’ who are recklessly increasing their dependence on me without my intervention
.
I will try to modify it in a way that will be helpful to me.
