Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Kato Hui had also wondered why the captain was trying so hard to kill Sisak? You know, although this kind of monster is rare, it is also very strong. If it is just for money, there is no need at all. After all, as the captain of a high-level adventure team, at this point, he is not short of money.

With such doubts, Kato Hui asked Alyssa, and finally got the reason why the captain did this.

The captain does this not only for money, but also to advance to the legend.

Although I learned from the witch lady that the level division in this world is extremely rough, whether it is high-level or legendary, their strength has not yet moved from the extraordinary to the extraordinary level.

Perhaps there were such figures before the decline of ancient magic, but at least, in this era, those so-called legendary levels are just the so-called pinnacle of the extraordinary.

After the fall of the ancient magic civilization, the magic power in the world gradually became less pure, and there were fewer and fewer humans who could become adventurers. Therefore, if you want to advance from a high-level level to become a legend, hard work, talent, and financial resources are all indispensable. However, even if you have these three conditions, it is not so easy to advance to a legend, and you still have to rely on opportunities.

With the decline of ancient civilizations and the absence of people with extraordinary abilities to control the loose rules in the world, the power of rules has become increasingly stable. Coupled with the magic power that is even thinner than that of ancient magic civilizations, it is now a pipe dream for ordinary people to become a legend, unless you are blessed by God, then you can reach the pinnacle of the extraordinary, that is, legend.

However, opportunities are called opportunities, but how can you catch them just because you want to? This kind of thing is too illusory.

However... there is still a way in this world that can give ordinary people the possibility of advancing to legend. Of course, although it is only a possibility, it is much better than having no chance at all. That is to enter the S-level ancient secret realm controlled by the Adventurer's Guild.

The Ancient Secret Realm is a different space outside this world that was built by hundreds of magicians using ancient magic.

Legend has it that as long as you complete an S-level mission and sign a 10-year employment contract with the Adventurer's Guild, you will get a chance to enter the ancient secret realm. The magic power in the ancient secret realm is times that of the outside world. There are also some deeply hidden documents, skills, and legendary props. Once you enter, both the abundant magic power and the mysterious props and skills will greatly increase the possibility of advancing to the legend.

The reason why the Adventurer's Guild is able to dominate the market is because of this secret realm. Not only that, adventurers are also provided with small secret realms of low levels. These secret realms are also very tempting to adventurers, but they all require adventure points in exchange.

Killing a Sasik and obtaining the materials on its body is an S-level mission of the Adventurer's Guild. This is why the captain went through so much trouble to invite Kato Megumi to take on three more high-level bounty missions.

After all, this is the only task that is the simplest and easiest to complete for the captain.

Kato Megumi couldn't help but sigh slightly at this.

It seems that no matter which world it is, the pursuit of strength and life will never stop. Isn't it the same for myself?

Kato Megumi chuckled.

……

……

All the work is going smoothly. Kato Megumi has cultivated some tea seedlings using the power of fusion and started planting. Now the decoration of the store, the trial of the textile machines, and the teaching of cooking are all making good progress. Everyone is busy and fulfilled in their work.

Apart from being busy with the production of some seasoning crops, Kato Megumi has nothing else to do.

After all, giving birth consumes mental energy, and mental energy can only be slowly restored over time. For a moment, Kato Megumi suddenly felt relaxed.

"Hmm... I'm a little bored all of a sudden... By the way, I wonder what happened to that fruiting tea tree."

Only then did she have time to look at the mutated tea tree.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that the tea trees, which were so big that they could only hug each other, were growing very well.

At this point, the tea tree can no longer be induced to grow. Exploring it again will only disrupt the plant's supply cycle and cause it to wither. Not only this mutated tea tree, but even the tea tree that grows tea leaves for sale can only be induced to grow once, and induced growth is not without its drawbacks.

For crops with a shorter growth cycle, the problem is not so obvious, but for trees with a longer growth cycle, the problem is fully revealed.

All plants that have been forced to grow will have their vitality destroyed by half. That is to say, the time it takes for a tree to grow too fast to die will be shortened by half.

Therefore, precious plants are generally not used for induced growth. Only Kato Megumi is wealthy enough to induce growth for every tea tree. After all, for others, one less is one less. This kind of tea tree cannot produce new individuals by breaking branches, but Kato Megumi does not have this disadvantage.

After all, she has the power of fusion in her hands, so she is not afraid of this at all.

Although it is impossible to induce growth by seconds as before, it is still possible to provide an appropriate amount of vitality every day to speed up the ripening of fruits or the growth of leaves. As long as the concentration of vitality is controlled, it will generally not affect the condition of the plants. This is also a common and safe method of inducing growth in this world.

"It looks like there's no result yet... but it's slowly growing."

I looked up at the unripe fruits hanging on the branches. They were only the size of a fingernail before, but now they have become the size of a walnut. It is foreseeable that I will be able to pick them up soon.

"I'm really curious about what the effect will be, but... it shouldn't just be a lonely thing..."

Kato Megumi sighed here and started the vitality supply that had been interrupted several times before.

In other places in the temple, various actions in the temple also gradually attracted everyone's attention.

Inside the city lord's villa, in a seemingly cold study, the city lord was drinking a drink made from magic leaves while listening nonchalantly to his subordinates' reports.

"Oh? You mean, that guy Ella gave his own land to that broken woman?"

"Yes... Lord Mayor, according to the news, not long after the baron's daughter entered the Earl's Mansion, Earl Ella transferred a quarter of his land to her, and also gave away more than a dozen of his shops on the commercial street."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 163 Chapter Various aspects of spying and thoughts

"Oh, what an affectionate guy... He actually gave his property to the daughter of a poor family just because of his feelings. He really doesn't know what he is talking about."

Because no one else was present during Ella's conversation with Alyssa, the spies planted by the city lord did not know about the transaction between the two. Wall thought that Ella acted like this out of love, and he became even more disdainful when he thought of this.

"How can two women be together... This goes against nature. Women should be docile and obedient, and listen to men. It's really an eyesore to be around in front of people all day long. Whether it's that idiot Ella or that girl Elena, one is a waste of family resources and a waste, and the other is arrogant like a bitch."

There are people in the world who believe in God, and naturally there are also people who do not believe in God. Anton is one of those people who does not believe in God. Otherwise, he would not have murdered the consul and replaced him with a puppet for the sake of power.

"Don't you think so... Luther... If I knew divine arts and had a family like that, I wouldn't have to work so hard to climb to the position of city lord. I would be even higher. God is so unfair! Those abominable gods are so high up there, not caring about worldly affairs, yet they are believed in by everyone. It's also unfair!"

Wall slammed the armrest of the table and chair and said angrily.

A pair of gloomy eyes narrowed slightly, which, combined with the scar on the face, was particularly creepy.

"What you said is..."

In response to the city lord's insulting remarks against God, his subordinate Luther calmly echoed him.

"But... this is also a good thing. That foolish guy handed over those fields and shops to that woman, which is actually a good thing for me." Wall smiled. "Usually, because of her father, the Duke in the royal city, I never took action against her assets, allowing this idiot to waste the resources of Luoha City. Now that the poor young lady is back and Ella has done something stupid again, isn't this a good opportunity?"

"Since she gave these properties away, it means that they are no longer hers. The assets of Luoha City must be reasonably planned by me as the city lord, instead of letting others waste resources. Is that right?"

"You're right..."

"Well...how are the fields and shops now?"

"Sir... those shops and fields are being controlled by people from the Earth Mother Temple. They seem to be renovating them... the fields too, they are planting unknown crops."

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Wall frowned.

"The temple...how come those industries are in the hands of the temple?" Wall touched his chin. "Come to think of it...it seems that the saint who has been in the limelight recently returned to the city with that woman, right? They seem to be in the same adventure team?"

"Yes, sir..."

“This is a bit difficult… Although I secretly joined forces with the Water Temple to suppress the Earth Mother Temple in Luoha City, this does not mean that the Earth Mother Temple is not powerful. After all, it is a temple with similar strength to the Supreme God Temple… What’s more, she is the Saint of the temple, and her status is not the same as that bitch Elena…”

Wall was rarely worried.

"It seems that I can't do it directly. I have to find a chance to do it secretly... It's best not to let them get any evidence."

……

……

Elena naturally knew clearly about what the temple had been doing in recent days. After all, so many people went in and out of the Temple of Mother Earth every day. Others who didn't pay attention might not know about it, but as she regarded the Temple of Mother Earth as a thorn in her side, she naturally understood it very thoroughly.

In the past few days, she saw that the victims had returned to normal, began to travel between the temple and the fields, and planted unknown crops; she also saw that they mysteriously acquired the countess's property from somewhere, began to build, and were carrying out some big move.

As a priestess of the Water Temple, Elena would certainly not allow the situation to go beyond her control. She regarded the Earth Mother Temple as her enemy and would not allow herself to watch them do things without knowing the whole situation. Seeing their actions, Elena herself sent people to inquire about what they were going to do from the girls, which was that they were going to open a restaurant.

When Elena first heard about the store opening, she was a little stunned. Then, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and a smile spread...

"Ha, haha... this is so funny. How did that saint come up with this idea of ​​opening a restaurant to make money... cough, cough cough"

After listening to the report from her subordinates, Elena, who always had a proper demeanor, almost laughed so hard that her lungs almost coughed out.

But she soon calmed down.

"When I saw that the saint cured the victims' psychological conditions without much effort, I regarded her as a strong rival and paid close attention to her next move." Elena wiped away the tears from her laughter and looked towards the location of the Earth Mother Temple. "But I didn't expect that she would do something like this, opening a restaurant to make money. As a saint, how could she come up with such a tacky idea? The key is that she actually did it. As a saint, doesn't she know how to lower her own standards?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Elena took a deep breath with sudden realization, "This saint seems to have become a nun halfway through her life... As a person favored by God, and a person favored by God who has only been a saint for a few days, it is not surprising that she can do such a thing..."

"But... we can't underestimate her because of this... After all, as someone who has killed tens of thousands of goblins and treated hundreds of people on her own, she might have some tricks up her sleeve..." Elena's eyes became deeper, "What do you think we should do... Jerry."

Elena asked the priest beside her softly, and then saw the other party gently half-bowed and then said with a smile.

"Sir, isn't this our strong point? Maybe in terms of combat power, we can't compare to the so-called saint on the other side, but when it comes to making money, how can the other side compare to us?"

“What are you talking about…?”

"That's right. Since they opened a restaurant, then we should open one too. Didn't we use this trick to completely suppress the other side's temple? Since we can suppress it once, we can definitely suppress it a second time. How difficult is that..."

"You're right..." Elena's eyes lit up, "They couldn't beat us before. Do you expect a saint who doesn't know anything about business to defeat us? It's a foolish dream..."

Then she gave another order.

"If you are going to do it, you must do it perfectly. Go hire the most famous chef in the city and open a restaurant opposite their store. I want to let them know what it means to be convinced and make sure they never get ahead again."

"Yes, Master Priest...I'll do it right away."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 164 Chapter Preparations for the Hotel

Kato Megumi was completely unaware of the undercurrent outside the temple, but even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care.

As the saying goes, "When the enemy comes, the general will fight fire and water will block it." We have only heard of catching thieves, but how can we prevent thieves every day? Just adapt to the situation.

Anyway, whether it is giving out those high-yield seeds, improved textile tools, or teaching them new delicacies, it is just to enable these girls to have stable jobs and a good life, to make the world more relaxed, and at the same time to allow the temple to have funds to survive.

This is her kindness, but it is not her weakness. In the final analysis, whether the branch temple can survive has nothing to do with her? Didn't you see that the main temple didn't say anything?

As for those girls, if they cannot be given stable jobs, it is not that Kato Megumi cannot afford the resettlement fee, anyway, she is not short of money now. However, this will prevent these girls from gradually integrating into life and not having a good environment, which is inevitably a bit inappropriate.

Precisely because she had a way out, Kato Megumi was able to spread her hands and feet and take on too much, even taking out too many things that did not fit into her own world. Of course, she was also sensible and did not take out things that were extremely inappropriate, but even so, her so-called high-yield crops had already shocked the world.

She doesn't care about whose interests are being encroached upon, because she has a way out, she has the qualifications and identity, and there is also a god behind her who will take the blame?

So what is rare and precious is that Kato Megumi did not act low-key or timid.

After all, she was just a passer-by in this world. Miss Witch had vaguely reminded her before that the place she was going might have the key to leaving this world. Kato Megumi could also vaguely feel the world's rejection before she merged with the godhood, but the rejection was relatively weak now, and later the arrival of faith offset those rejections and allowed her to establish a connection with the creatures here. Therefore, Kato Megumi was still at ease for the time being and was not troubled or anxious about it.

"Your Majesty, this is what the craftsmen have done with the decoration. Can you see if there is anything wrong?"

"Hmm... let me take a look first..."

After more than ten days of overtime work, the renovation of the store was finally completed. Both the craftsmen and Ina who was holding the blueprints could not help but sigh when they saw the completed restaurant. It was because the appearance of the restaurant designed by His Majesty was really unique.

When you arrive outside the hotel, you will see a large, painted and carved sculpture of a giant kebab placed diagonally on the roof. It looks so lifelike that it makes you salivate. Combined with the wooden plaque of the hotel hanging above the hotel, it immediately draws everyone's attention and makes them realize that this is a restaurant.

When you walk into the interior, you will see mahogany floors underneath and warm magic crystal chandeliers hanging overhead. The light slowly radiates to every corner, giving a panoramic view of the spacious hall.

The interior of the restaurant is very large. This was achieved by having craftsmen connect several shops. In addition, this shop, which serves as a restaurant, is located on the edge of the commercial street, so it has a large area and is completely sufficient.

The hotel's interior is divided into three parts: one is a private room for quietness, and the other is a lobby for guests who like lively atmosphere. Both of these areas are divided into adventurers and ordinary people. The first floor is for ordinary people, and the second floor is for adventurers.

Not only that, all the seats in the hotel are covered with comfortable golden mouse skins, the walls are painted in dim colors, and various appetizing foods are painted on them. There is also a large space in the backyard of the hotel with weapon racks, allowing various adventurers to digest their food after meals. Of course, the backyard square has protective and soundproof barriers.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Aina asked.

"Hmm... there shouldn't be any problem. By the way, have the girls learned the menu ordering process?"

"Your Majesty, they have almost learned it, and they remember those Arabic numerals very clearly."

Speaking of this, Ina couldn't help but sigh. The hotel built by the saint used a lot of precious building materials and furniture, which were enough to build a small villa?

This hotel was not only filled with precious furniture, but the entire hotel also had a large constant temperature array and dust removal array, as well as a so-called ordering system that she had never heard of.

There is a small button under each table. Once you press this button, the corresponding light will light up at the service desk in the lobby, and then a menu will pop up from the table. It is a magical prop called a photo taken by the saint with the so-called camera. Then everyone can order food by looking at the picture, and they no longer have to worry about not recognizing the dishes.

The kitchen will also have a list, and the amount of each dish needed will be updated in real time by the waiters outside. It is convenient and quick. You just need to make the dish according to the quantity above.

The whole process was not hectic but well-organized, and Ina knew at first glance that it was very useful.

In this regard, Aina had to admire the saint's creative ideas.

When she walked to the rest area in the back kitchen, Kato Megumi saw the girls wearing cute and customized uniforms, standing in rows listening to Carissa's instructions.

Rows of young and energetic girls with lively eyes and eyebrows, at this time they have rekindled their passion for life, no longer with the gloom of the past.

"Although I have never opened a restaurant, I also know that I need to provide good service to customers and be considerate and not perfunctory."

"You have to know that this is the future that the Saint has given us, and the new position that she has entrusted to us. The commission you earn from your work is a high salary that can feed a family of three, so we must..."

"Let's assign tomorrow's tasks... Nomi, you will be responsible for counting the ingredients in the kitchen, and Jeshia, you will go..."

Looking at Carissa praising herself seriously and instructing these girls on their work, Kato Megumi slightly curled the corners of her lips but didn't say anything.

Soon, Carissa explained everything clearly, and the girls below dispersed.

Only then did they notice Kato Megumi standing nearby and greeted her.

"Good afternoon, Saint."

"You've worked hard... Remember to rest well and don't overwork yourself..."
