Chapter 93 Alfred's Leisurely Weekend (2)
(It's too risky to let Vivian and the others enter Illya, and we don't know what kind of power these puppets will exert after they go berserk. It's too dangerous to let them monitor.)
"Then let them come and help."
Emilia whistled softly, and a lot of magic power began to gather around the two of them.
"Are these elven dragons?"
Alfred was very surprised when he saw the translucent figure of a baby dragon condensing in the air.
"Well, this Vanir Fairy Forest seems to be the spawning ground for elven dragons, so there are many young dragons. If we let them enter the spirit form to monitor them, it will not be easy for third parties to detect them."
"That's true... But Emilia, can you give them orders?"
"Well, after all, I am my mother's daughter~"
Emilia puffed out her chest and answered proudly.
"That's right."
Alfred responded somewhat hypocritically.
(Strange, Emilia should not have inherited anything from the Dragon God. Even so, can this girl command all dragon creatures? Or does inheritance not require a ritual and can be accomplished directly through blood?)
Alfred felt a little confused because the situation was inconsistent with his knowledge.
"If it were Al, he could also give orders to these little guys."
"Eh? What does this mean?"
"You have defeated Mother in the past. According to the dragon race's tradition of respecting strength, you are now the one with the highest status in the dragon god clan. Since you, Al, are not a god, you should be called the Dragon King... Maybe the Dragon Emperor sounds cooler?"
Emilia tilted her head slightly, put her finger on her lips and talked to herself.
"But I'm already dead, and now I've been reincarnated into another world."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Al's soul is still Al, there's no problem."
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Alfred complained in a dumbfounded manner.
"Hehe, Al, if you don't believe me, why not order these children to give it a try. Hmm... use the dragon language. I'm not sure if the elven dragons in this world will learn the fairy language at birth."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Alfred extended his hand to the many translucent figures floating in the air.
"Can you help me monitor the owners of these puppets?"
“Roar~?”
"Hoho~!"
Although they could understand what Alfred meant, these elven dragons seemed unable to speak.
They stared at each other for a moment, flew around Alfred a few times, and then disappeared.
"These little guys love you, Al."
Emilia said with a smile.
"Is, is that so... By the way, what kind of thank-you gift should I prepare for them later?"
"Hey, Al, it's clear that even if you order them to work for nothing, there won't be any problem. These children will be extremely happy just to help you."
Emilia was stunned for a moment and asked back in confusion.
"Uh... don't be like that. I'm not the boss of some shady company. Since these elf dragons have helped me, I must pay them the corresponding remuneration."
Alfred was beyond dumbfounded by Emilia's reaction and was speechless.
Even if I had some understanding in the past.
But he really didn't expect that the dragon society would be such a sweatshop.
"Pfft, that's very much your style, Al~ These children don't have physical bodies yet, so there's no point in giving them food or treasures that dragons would like. So why not give them something fairies would like, like magical herbs or flowers? I think they would be very happy."
"I see. I see. But, this will be one more expense in the future."
Alfred mentally calculated his future spending plans.
"Then let's take advantage of this moment and hunt more monsters~! That being said, the monsters here are a little too weak. They will die with just a slight touch."
Emilia first raised her hand excitedly, then immediately sighed with some regret.
"That's because you are too extraordinary, Emilia... Although the Rift World might also be a good choice, let's go to the depths of the forest first."
Alfred thought for a moment and said.
"I heard that there seems to be a hidden maze deep in the Warner Fairy Forest. The monsters there are quite powerful, and even fourth-year students have difficulty dealing with them. Maybe we can get a lot of valuable materials."
"Then let's set off."
Emilia took Alfred's arm, as if they were going on a picnic.
"Please be more careful. If you are careless, you will end up in trouble."
Alfred warned, pinching her cheek.
(Hmm, it feels surprisingly comfortable to pinch...)
"Don't worry, Al. I've been keeping an eye on my surroundings. Let's get going quickly."
Emilia grabbed Alfred's arm and pulled him toward a path deep in the forest.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
As Alfred and Emilia prepared to head deeper into the forest.
Roderick happened to come to an open space in the forest and checked on the working conditions of the puppets.
"Humph, even useless puppets like Goblins and Wolfhunters can be put to good use sometimes."
He examined the monster materials that the goblins had disassembled and hummed with some happiness.
In the game, E-level goblins and E+-level wolf hunters are the worst of the worst puppets.
But if they are slightly strengthened with the ring given to them by Kuritis and given appropriate commands, these guys can also serve as good laborers.
(I am so talented that I noticed that this item is different from the one in the game. I can wear many at a time and control a large number of puppets at the same time.)
Roderick thought complacently as he looked at his left arm.
There were many bracelets hanging on his left arm and rings on his fingers.
These bracelets and rings are props in the game that increase the upper limit of summoned puppets.
In the game, although there is a limit on the number of props that can be worn, it is completely different in reality.
As long as he wore these things, he could command the goblins and wolf hunters to hunt wildly in the Warner Fairy Forest, waiting for a large number of monster cores to fall from the sky.
These magic cores will then be used to strengthen the Flame Demon Tiger that Toculitis bought from the black market.
(Just wait, I will teach that damn bastard a lesson for daring to take my woman away.)
Roderick picked up a magic core that looked like a half-orc pigman and swore a fierce oath in his heart.
