Players’ NPC daddy.

Thousands of blessed beings proficient in earth magic were mobilized, and a foreigner who claimed to be proficient in civil engineering was invited as technical guidance. This giant prison was built around the place called the Nemean Forest, where the erosion of the Ganges River was first and most serious.

The knowledge provided by the stranger was extremely advanced, and the huge wall built based on this knowledge was so strong that even the Titan hybrids could not break it.

Most importantly, the stranger vetoed the Royal Knights' decision to build a sliding gate.

"Anyway, this 'definitely unbreakable' gate will always fail to close in time, and then be pushed open by a monster, causing the defense to collapse. I don't want my construction to make the same mistake as in Jurassic World."

[A real cage shouldn't even have a door or a lock!]

Finally, let alone the entrance and exit, there was not even a crack, and there were extremely dense anti-aircraft crossbows on the city wall.

The design drawings for this crossbow were also provided by foreigners.

Due to the stranger's outstanding contribution, the Giant Kingdom wanted to grant him various rewards, but the stranger declined and left a very cool remark.

[I just want to build a wall. Also, don’t tell any strangers that this impenetrable wall was built by me.]

In short, if you want to enter the Nemean Forest, you can only go through the teleportation point established by the Royal Knights.

So how those strangers sneaked in remains an unsolved mystery to the Royal Knights.

However, this does not affect the strong defensive capabilities of the Giant Line at all, and the Titan hybrids cannot get in at all.

But that premise is that the target of defense is only the Titan hybrid.

When Blaze made his purpose clear, the entire conference room fell into silence.

The information Blaze brought to them was too shocking.

Blaze described clearly the terrifying monster that was gestating beneath the Ganges River and was even drawing it.

The oppressive feeling brought by the terrifying giant lion with a dragon mane is no less than that of the Titan giant in the past.

"Is someone like this hiding down there?" Kelly's face turned grim, her hand instinctively tightening around her sword. She didn't know what the Beast King was, but that didn't stop her from understanding the terrifying nature of the Evil God's blood and the seriousness of the Nemean Lion's origin.

"It was originally sleeping, but because I read its intelligence, it woke up and began to accelerate its gestation." Blaze sighed.

"You don't have to feel guilty. You've done a good job." Rebecca, who seemed to be the think tank here, spread out a huge map on the wall and drew the location of the Nemean giant's head on it.

Compared with the heads of the Titans in the past, the heads of the Nemean Giants were larger, several times larger.

But considering that the Nemean Giant was actually a lion, it makes sense. In terms of size, the lion's head accounts for a large proportion of its body.

"Its accelerated maturity came at the expense of its own level, skill proficiency, and body size. This means that the Nemean Giant originally intended to transform itself into a second Titan. No, considering that it wanted to possess the body of a Titan, it should be an even larger Titan."

"But when accelerating, it will prioritize the completion of its body, sacrificing its own size. This might be a size that can be blocked by the Giant's defense line."

This is very good news. The Titans were so huge that they could easily cross the defense line with just one step and crush half of the Giant Kingdom before they died.

It wasn't a question of whether the defenses were strong enough, but rather that the Titans were simply too tall. Coupled with the tight timeline, the kingdom simply didn't have time to build an effective defense.

But now it’s different. They have an extremely tall and huge city wall, which was built using foreign technology. There is absolutely no problem with its defensive capabilities.

"The only two problems now are how to lure the Nemean Giant out from below and prevent it from absorbing nutrients, forcing it to use my flesh as nutrients."

"Perhaps these two problems can solve each other." Blaze thought for a moment, and said, combining the Nemean lion and Nemean lioness he had seen before.

"The Nemean Giant has been dormant, unconsciously absorbing the blood of the evil god from the Hundred Fetuses River as nutrients. Now that it has awakened, it's eager for more nutrients to complete its body and won't be satisfied with just the Hundred Fetuses River."

"It will send its lionesses to hunt. What will happen if we kill all of its lionesses?"

They would probably go crazy, or be furious, after all, lions are not good-tempered species.

"But this is just my guess after all." Blaze was also a little unconfident. After all, he had only fought the Nemean Lioness once.

"Then how do you plan to get foreigners to come and help? We can't just use a summons. At least we can't let foreigners know about the existence of the Nemean giants before we confirm our current reasoning about them." Marika, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Blaze and Marika exchanged a look of unconditional trust.

Blaze smiled helplessly. He felt like Marika was patting him on the back and encouraging him.

"Anyway, we'll trick the strangers here first, increase their activity in the Giant Line, and then, once we've completed our investigation, we'll tell them the truth."

What would happen if we told strangers directly that there was a monster no less powerful than a Titan hiding underground?

It goes without saying that the strangers will be just like the Titans at that time. Without completing their preparations, they will skip all the steps and force the battle in order to grab the achievement of killing.

It could be digging madly, or it could be bombarding the ground with magic.

Then a deformed child, a combination of a lion and a human, about the same size as a Titan, will crawl out of the Ganges River, making strange cries, and will easily cross the giant's defense line with its followers and begin to ravage the territory of Fast.

If you're lucky, the Deformed Child will be defeated by the foreigners after the destruction of Fast's territory. If you're unlucky, the disaster of the Titans will reappear.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Blazer lowered his head and pondered. Honestly, getting strangers to do one or two things was easy, and you could tempt them with material things. But if you wanted to significantly increase the activity of strangers in a region, that would be incredibly difficult.

They'll get tired of it.

Blaze suggested tentatively.

"Or tell them that they can get unlimited escape items to enter the Giant's Defense Line, and if they use materials to strengthen their equipment at the Giant's Defense Line's blacksmith shop, their success rate will double."

"Will strangers really fall for it?"

The three vice-captains were a little skeptical, and Blaze was also a little unconfident, but Marika had already nodded.

"Well, let's do it."

Chapter 120 The Woman Who Calls Herself Mother

To be honest, Blaze was worried whether the stranger would really fall into the trap.

The stranger suffers from a severe mental illness called "Grassroots." This condition is triggered by many factors, the most important of which is boredom.

It is undoubtedly a very boring thing to have the strangers constantly enter the Nemean Forest to defeat monsters, take out materials to strengthen themselves, and then go back in to defeat monsters and take out materials to strengthen themselves.

What if it triggers mental illness in people from other places?

Increasing the success rate of weapon enhancement is Blazer's idea of ​​compensating the strangers, so that the strangers who gave up halfway can at least get something.

And the method to increase the probability of equipment enhancement...

I have to go to Balkan City and ask Had, the Fire Rabbit Blacksmith, to come out.

Blaze was sent to the exit of the Giant's Defense Line. The other deputy captains were going to prepare the announcement for the strangers, which was not something Marika was good at, so Marika sent him out.

At the entrance, Mallika said goodbye to him.

The Red Dragon Marika is the strongest trump card of the Giant Defense Line, so she needs to ask for leave if she wants to leave. During the leave period, several powerful knights will be transferred from other knight orders to replace Marika.

Unfortunately, Marika's vacation time was used up in the search for Blaze, but luckily Blaze was not lost, he just went for a walk.

Blaze stopped, grabbed the helmet with both hands and pulled hard, but the helmet still didn't move at all.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment!"

Blaze transformed into a silver werewolf on the spot, and his helmet was blown off.

Marika didn't say anything, but tilted her head and looked up at Blaze, as if asking why he turned into a werewolf.

"I thought I'd say goodbye with my own face."

Blaze grabbed the back of his head embarrassedly, and then let it go.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"You didn't ask anything."

Why did he become a Black Beast Rider? Why did he become a werewolf? Why did he know about the Beast King? Why did he encounter the Nemean Giant?

And what about the soul that is watching the show with a smile on its face, and making indecent gestures because it thinks others can't see it?

There are so many things Marika can ask, and has the right to ask, that Blazer might not be able to explain them all even if he talks all day long.

But Marika didn't ask anything, because Marika knew that some things required Blaze to explain with lies.

I didn't want Blaze to suffer the pain of being deceived, so I didn't ask anything.

Marika extended her arms toward Blaze, a gesture meant to invite a hug from someone taller than her. But for Marika, who stood two meters tall, no one could possibly satisfy her.

But the silver werewolf Blaze is 2.5 meters tall and can easily pick up Marika.

Marika hugged Blaze's neck and dangled her feet gently in the air.

Blazer remembered when they were little, Marika would hang on his neck and swing like this. It was the only time when she didn't feel inferior about her height.

"Remember to go home and don't get lost."

"Ah."

Blaze asked before leaving.

"By the way, where did that apple come from?"

"Ah, a man from another country with a female voice claiming to be your mother asked me to pass it on to you. I went to look for you that day, but you were gone."

"Mother?"

Blaze walked through the forest, recalling what Marika had said.

According to Marika, a stranger gave Marika this fruit containing the wisdom of the dwarves on the day he woke up as a Black Beast Knight, and asked Marika to pass it on to her.

It wasn't surprising that Marika came to him immediately; what was surprising was the stranger who claimed to be his mother.

He is an orphan and grew up with Marika. The only family member he remembers is Marika, not his parents.

Not to mention the mother of a stranger.

"very strange."

"What's so strange about that?" Ji was not surprised at all. "Strangers often call the people they like 'baby' or something like that."

"So that's how it is. That stranger is quite kind."

The doubts about [Mother] were thus dispelled. In fact, it was quite normal for a stranger to give a prop to someone, and for that person to pass it on.

This fruit containing the wisdom of the dwarves is definitely not for Marika. How can we give Marika an item that will put her in danger!

This must be a hint from a stranger to him, asking him to remove the curse on the apple, or the god who cast the curse, and then hand it over to Marika.

"A one-eyed god...?"

In the past, Blaze would probably be terrified, because that was God, such a huge and majestic being.

But now, he is somewhat eager to try.

How powerful is the god, how much HP does he have, what skills does he have, what powerful weapons will he drop, and what impact will defeating the god have on the world?

As soon as I thought about it, my chest was filled with heat.

Perhaps it is because of this mentality that strangers are happy to challenge again and again.

"One-Eye, that fellow, like you, possesses the terrifying ability of Instant Death. But unlike a lion, he doesn't have the only option of fighting."

"I say..." Blaze stopped and looked at the chicken speechlessly, "How many things are you hiding from me?"

"You didn't ask?"

"Then I'm asking you now, can you tell me?"

The chicken was silent for a long time, frowning and struggling with the word "hmm" for a long time.

"I can't tell you about One-Eye. If you don't discover it yourself, you'll think that fighting is your only option. Then you won't be able to squeeze out all the benefits of One-Eye and keep them in your hands."

Listening to the first half, it seems that the chicken and the [One-Eye] have some kind of deep feeling. Listening to the second half, it feels like the [One-Eye] has seriously offended the chicken.

"And when the only option is fighting, you won't hesitate to invite strangers, right?"

This is certain, mainly because of guys like [One-Eye] who would be detrimental to Marika, so we must bring in strangers to ensure that [One-Eye] is killed.

Secondly, strangers will occasionally suffer from [long grass period], and they must always be prepared for dangerous events and provide emergency treatment.

Take the Titans as an example. The Titans' death prevented the foreigners from having a "long grass period" for four months, which can be regarded as a great sacrifice.

"You should at least think more about yourself." Ji shook his head helplessly.

Chicken already knew what Blaze was thinking without him saying anything, so she also knew that no matter what she said, Blaze would not change his mind.

The bottom line is that Blaze is not an arrogant savior who thinks he can solve everything, nor is he a greedy person who wants to take all the treasures into his arms.

This was just a kind young man who was taking a walk.

"But I can tell you some information about the Beast Kings."

"Do you have to squeeze it bit by bit like you're constipated? You're a bird."
