Divine Protection of Many Gods-Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Even though I gathered the pool grass for Sara’s request, I didn’t know that there were various grasses growing in this forest .

However, at present they seem to have been used for the “Demon Killer Drug” by the Church .

“For the time being, since it absorbs magic, should I see if I can add an inclination to the magic power it absorbs?” (Hibiki)

Though with its current nature it was dyed with nothing but dark or light, I decided to test it out in environments that only had magic of certain attributes .

To be honest, I wanted to make a greenhouse, but I gave up because I was unable to prepare transparent vinyl or glass .

So instead I dup up a mortar-shaped hole, cultivated a field in the dip, and then poured magic into that hole .

I don’t know whether magic power has a weight or not, but to begin with, if it was lighter than air, the ground wouldn’t have any magic power .

For the time being, I cultivated fields for 【Fire Magic】 and 【Wind Magic】, then I left the management to the Goblin Mages .

Even though any magic was okay, but as the pupil of the “Flame Whirlwind” I had an attachment to these two .

I gave them the Stardust Pendant to avoid them running out of magic power .

Next, I made fields for 【Dark Magic】 and 【Light Magic】 . I will manage them directly .

I poured all of my magic into the hole for now .

The hole for 【Light Magic】 emitted a white haze, as for the hole of 【Dark Magic】 it emitted a black haze .

“After this, is the remaining dark pool grass?” (Hibiki)

Speaking of medicine, it’s time for this person (?) “Book of Wisdom”’s turn .

[Hmm, so it’s pool grass? There is no way that this can be material for the “Demon Killer Drug” . ] (Book of Wisdom)

“I already know about that . Please give me some other info . If possible, those which doesn’t become the material for that . ” (Hibiki)

[It seems that pool grass was used as a drug in the rituals of the Evil God Religion . Aside from that, it can also be used as a drug to make monsters stronger . ] (Book of Wisdom)

There were several survivors from the Evil God followers . Let’s ask for their cooperation to fully explain the details about this later .

[There is also a story that you can acquire magic if you infused said magic into it and drink it . ] (Book of Wisdom)

That was kind of interesting . I would be happy if I could control the magic that the Goblin Mages acquire .

“That story, please explain it to me in detail . ” (Hibiki)

[Even if that was said, pool grass does not grow in ordinary places, so if someone consumed pool grass that wasn’t grown in a special environment, there won’t be any effect . ] (Book of Wisdom)

As expected, if it was partial to the environment, the leaves were also likely to have the property to store elements other than dark and light .

I will put my expectations on that field .

Based on the information from “The Book of Wisdom”, I went to talk with the captured man who was in charge of administrating the ritual .

In addition, I was taught various suspicious medicines such as a drug called “Mental Deformation Medicine” .

As I thought, this pool grass that had absorbed dark magic seems to be frequently used for those kinds of drugs .

“Zombie Medicine”, when it is sprinkled onto a corpse, would revive it as a zombie .

Changing a human into a monster, “Demon Drug” .

If you drank “Night Dew of Suffering Death”, on that very night you would expire in agony as your body became dew .

Although, I do know how to make various medicines, it seems I could only make “Mental Deformation Medicine” easily for now .

And also, it was impossible to try it on a villager because the monster who would drink it would die after a while it seems .

“Mental Deformation Medicine, I wonder if there are any side-effects to it?” (Hibiki)

I passed the materials to Amy for the time being and asked her to make the “Mental Deformation Medicine” .

=====

Mental Deformation Medicine +4

Effect

If you let a monster drink it, it will gain a form and power beyond their ability .

=====

From there they were further separated by composition with 【Sorting】 .

=====

Enhancement Drug +4 (Dark)

Effect

Increases a monster’s status temporarily .

=====

=====

Miraculous Drug+4 (Dark)

Effect

If you let a monster drink it, its hidden power will manifest .

=====

The Mental Deformation Medicine will forcibly strengthen a monster’s power further by taking another form, so the monster will likely die after consuming it .

I immediately made the monsters in the forest take the Enhancement Drug and the Miraculous Drug to see the results .

For the Enhancement Drug…

Orc Level 13 ➝ Level 15 (Will return to normal in about 1 hour)

Orc Level 32 ➝ Level 38 (Will return to normal in about 1 hour and 30 minutes), etc .

As for the Miraculous Drug…

Orc ➝ Orc Leader

Skill 【Commander】 obtained

Ogre ➝ One-horned Ogre

Skill 【Roar】 obtained

I tried it out on a couple of them, but Enhancement Drugs were effective on all the monsters that I tested, but the duration was uneven among them .

I tried the Miraculous Drug on around 10 of them, however on only 2 of the monsters was it effective .

It seems it won’t be effective if they don’t have any special power to begin with .

Since there was no side-effect appearing after taking them, if there was a quantity of them I want to distribute it to the goblins in the village, but because I had used a large amount of pool grass, I need a stable supply of it .

After I finished observing the monsters, I helped with the goblins’ tactical training .

I ended up becoming stuck with the peerless Minotaro who I had brought to look over them just to be sure .

“Minotaro is so strong . ” (Hibiki)

“I’m grateful for your praise . ” (Minotaro)

I chatted with him while washing the blood that had spurted all over Minotaro’s body from him kicking monsters about with 【Water Magic】 .

“I want to do something about your equipment as well . ” (Hibiki)

The equipment of Minotaro was still the same as when he was in the labyrinth . Worn-out leather armor with traces of the ballista attack and the fight against Selva .

However, since Minotaro had 【Self-regeneration】, I have been postponing it with all my will .

“I, I am still alright . Thank you very much for your concern . ” (Minotaro)

I had obtained the raw materials from the ogres, so it would not be a bad idea to make Minotaro’s “Goblin Transport” uniform too .

But for now, I want more quantity than quality . If we increase the number of regular transports by two, it will be hard with our current members .

If that was so, I may have to circulate the uniforms to the goblins .

It was troublesome . Should I rather prepare different equipment for Minotaro?

“Yup, I guess I’ll go hunting the surrounding ogres, there seems to be a considerable amount of ogres in the wilderness . ” (Hibiki)

“If it’s you boss, I’m sure you can hunt them easily . ” (Minotaro)

“Well, looking for them is kinda difficult, I wish I had a search for enemy based skill . ” (Hibiki)

“Let’s have Aniki’s group help . ” (Minotaro)

It was the goblins he was calling Aniki . Well, he was a newcomer so it wasn’t wrong .

By they way, he treats the vampires as his contemporaries so he called them by name .

“No, they have work to do, I also want to avoid mobilizing them without Lalu around . ” (Hibiki)

“That’s right, Lalu aniki was on business trip after all . ” (Minotaro)

They would have likely already arrived at Bureto as scheduled . They would be back in about a week, and that’s including their length of stay there .

“As soon as they come back, the newcomers are estimated to increase again . Wasn’t it nice being a junior . ” (Hibiki)

“Am I also a senior? I’m getting nervous . ” (Minotaro)

He was a delicate guy even though he has a huge body .

As we were returning to the village it was noisy for some reason . There seemed to be something going on .

Minotaro and I exchanged looks and we decided to hurry back to the village .
