Chapter 54. The Dead One After Another (Second Update)

In Kahn Town in the middle of the night, the lights are sparse and everything is silent.

After all, people in this medieval world are used to "working at sunrise and resting at sunset".

When the sun rises, it begins to move, and when it sets, it prepares for rest.This way of life is simply because there is no cheap light source like modern industrial society.Although human beings have had the means of lighting at night for a long time, whether it is lamp oil, candles or torches, it is very luxurious for ordinary people. Unless it is a wealthy family, otherwise they cannot afford it at all.

Of course, in this fantasy world, there are cleaner and brighter magic lamps, but the price is also much more expensive than oil lamps.

Since there is no money to light a lamp, once it gets dark at night, naturally I can't work and can only go to sleep.

Even taverns that provide people with nightlife, because of the high price of lamp oil, will close at around eight o'clock in the evening at most.

Therefore, the empty city hall was naturally dark, and even the magic street lamp at the entrance was turned off in the middle of the night.

However, a temporary secret meeting room in the basement of the city hall was brightly lit at the moment.More than a dozen extravagant magic lamps illuminate this unusually spacious basement as bright as day.

On an armchair in the middle of the basement sat a handsome young man in an orange-red suit.

He is about two meters tall and his complexion is light brown with luster.The hanging eyes, the straight nose bridge, the light-colored thin lips, and the gentle and kind smile that always floats on the face seem to bring a sense of peace of mind to everyone who sees it.This is indeed a very similar appearance to that of a human, but there is a decisive difference - the tail behind and the black wings all indicate the fact that he is not human.

He is the important leader of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the commander of the undead army that is currently ravaging the kingdom, and the demon gentleman Demiurge.

Overall, this is a very gentlemanly guy indeed.

A group of demons kneeled tremblingly at Demiurge's feet, as if they didn't even dare to take a breath.The tabby cat incarnated by Wang Qiu and the other full-level golem players registered by state civil servants sat silently in the corner as spectators of the meeting.

The last two trapped people, twin sisters cat knight Rachel and goblin Flo, also attended with Wang Qiu.

"...Then, let's start the regular meeting! First of all, the torturer, you have always been in charge of the pasture where the Two-legged sheep are raised."

Demiurge, who presided over the meeting, said with a smile. His tone was very kind, as soft as if it was about to slip into his heart. It sounded comfortable and profound, "...Master Ainz has always been concerned about the supply and inventory of magic parchment, How is the condition of your two-legged sheep?"

"...Yes, Lord Demiurge." The torturer who was named immediately stood up and reported. He is a fat demon with a body like a butcher. He wears a black leather apron on the lower body, and the upper body is shirtless. Wearing a wrestler's full-face covering headgear, and a belt full of blood-stained knives, axes, daggers and chainsaws, it looks as terrifying as a perverted killer in a horror movie.

However, such a bloodthirsty strong man is as docile as a bunny in front of Demiurge:

"...Report to my lord, the production of the parchment is going well, and the number of two-legged sheep in captivity is also increasing steadily."

"...very good!" Demiurge, who spoke softly, opened his hands and smiled kindly, "...the batches of parchment you raised recently are of excellent quality. Lord Ainz is also very happy!"

"...Thank you!" The Torturer was flattered.

"...are the flayed two-legged sheep alright? We can't let them die so easily."

"...It's all good. Because I immediately applied healing magic to them while peeling their skins, and they can be peeled again the next day!"

——Because of his professional status, the torture demon is a kind of demon that can use simple healing magic.

"...Really. But I really like to hear the beautiful cries of the two-legged sheep when they are skinned."

"...Then peel them and leave them without healing magic for a while? Demiurge-sama?" the Torturer asked tentatively.

"...No no, forget it. According to experiments, it seems that the skin peeled off from young 'lambs' is the most suitable for making high-quality parchment. And if it is a young guy, if If you don’t apply healing magic right away, you might die soon.”

Demiurge said with a smile, "...As far as I know, fraternity is a very important thing. We must pay attention to the health of the two-legged sheep!"

"...Yes, follow the instruction carefully!"

"...So, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"... Well, although as long as the healing magic is applied in time, they will not die, but can be skinned repeatedly, but there are still many humans, er, the two-legged sheep can't bear the pain, and go crazy or commit suicide. In addition, the supply of food I'm also a little nervous." The torturer said.

"... Sigh, what a weak and inferior creature, I can't even stand skinning. How do you deal with these problems? Torturer."

"...Xiaozhi recycled their corpses and remade them into barbecue or bacon to feed the newly caught two-legged sheep!"

"...Oh? Can they eat meat of the same kind?" Demiurge raised his eyebrows curiously.

"...Actually, as long as the concealment is good, they can even eat the flesh of their children." The torturer laughed.

"...Then let's continue like this? Huh? You seem to have something to say?" Demiurge suddenly noticed a female demon with horns and fluff raising her hand, and thus ended the conversation with the torturer. , "...Then let you speak first! What's the matter?"

"...It's about the human skin. Is it okay not to tell Mr. Ainz the truth? He seems to really think that 'two-legged sheep' is a hybrid monster." The head looks like a sheep, and it looks similar Asked a little timidly about the female devil who was looking at the giant plush toy.

"...Don't worry about such small things at all? The only thing that Mr. Ainz cares about is how to obtain excellent parchment that can be used to make magic scrolls. As for what this paper is peeled off from, it is Don’t worry too much about the minutiae.”

Turning his head to look at the few "parchments" that had just been piled up in the corner of the meeting room, Demiurge showed a happy look in his eyes.These skins are all peeled off by the parents of the "young two-legged sheep" from their own children by the demons.

As long as he thought of the scene at that time, the satisfied smile on Demiurge's face would almost overflow.

"...It is true that Ainz-sama is sometimes unexpectedly magnanimous, and bestows his mercy on some boring and weak creatures. But he can also understand what is really important, and he will definitely allow us to do this Yes. Of course, in order to avoid affecting his mood, I sometimes have to say something in disguise, it’s fine for everyone to pretend to be stupid and fool around, you really don’t need to make a fuss.”

The devil gentleman Demiurge continued to explain with a smile on his face, "...By the way, Torturer Demon, your two-legged sheep ranch, will it be destroyed by this Karn village, um, or Karn Village? Did the humans in the town find out?!" He suddenly remembered something, and asked the torturer back.

"...Don't worry, my lord. This town is located fifty kilometers north of the fortress city Rantel, and my two-legged sheep ranch is located in the mountains and forests southwest of the fortress city. There are more than seven days' walk away from here. distance."

The torturer hurriedly replied, "...It is impossible for them to break through the blockade of the undead army and go to such a distant place."

"...Well, that's good!" The devil gentleman Demiurge nodded, "... Then, the succubus lady who presided over the biological experiment. It's your turn. Since Ainz-sama wants to see a A hybrid monster that can be named 'Two-legged Sheep', we will let him fulfill his wish. I wonder what kind of good news you can let me hear? I am looking forward to it!"

"……Yes!"

Standing up tremblingly to answer, was a beautiful woman whose appearance was similar to that of a human.

Huge black wings spread out from her back, but her sensual and wonderful body was almost naked, only a tiny metal plate was embedded in her crotch.The delicate face and graceful body are exuding a seductive fragrance, as if dyeing the air a charming pink.

But at this moment, this beautiful stunner was trembling all over, as if she had been thrown into a cold storage naked.

"...My lord, the hybridization experiment between humans and demihuman monsters is currently going smoothly. But unfortunately, the cycle from pregnancy to childbirth is difficult to shorten after all, so the experimental results cannot be obtained for a while. Please Give me a little more time..."

"...Of course no problem! I will give you as much time as you want! The birth of new life is a gratifying thing, and the exploration of the birth of life is naturally sacred! You know, the research you are doing is a great breeding that breaks through the barrier of species Experiment. Think about it! Humans in this world can combine with each other, but sub-races such as goblins and pig-headed people cannot marry humans. Just because of their different identities, they cannot produce love. Crystallization. What a sad thing! And your research is to create new possibilities between humans and subhumans!"

With a compassionate and fraternal expression, Demiurge waved his arms, like a missionary, explaining the great significance of this crossbreeding experiment, which seemed to make the succubus lady a little relieved.But at the next moment, his tone suddenly changed, "...but—how did I hear the rumors that the progress was not going well? Up to now, there is not even a single case of successful pregnancy! This is too embarrassing Come on!"

"...!!!"

The shoulders of the succubus lady who had been exposed suddenly trembled, and her whole body began to tremble as if suffering from malaria.And the other demons who were waiting beside her to report their duties began to quietly move away, for fear that they would also be affected.

"...How is it, Ms. Succubus? Is the hybridization experiment I asked you to take over, really going smoothly?"

"... Ha! The so-called smoothness, smoothness cannot be asserted..." Ms. Succubus was a little incoherent.

"...Well, he is a child who is incompetent! He still refuses to tell the truth! Could it be that you are also interested in becoming a test subject?

Demiurge was still smiling, it was an infinitely kind smile, but it made the succubus feel like falling into an ice cellar.

"...Hold on, I'm sorry! The experiment of hybrid monsters has been unsuccessful because the female goblins and pig-headed people have not actively cooperated! Unlike humans who can conceive all year round, if these female monsters refuse to enter the estrus period , you won’t get pregnant! But, but, after applying charm magic to them and forcing mental interference, they started to make some progress!” The succubus lady stammered.

"...Well, when I personally presided over the experiment before, I let human females and male monsters mate, and those women committed suicide. So I changed it to let human males mate with female monsters, but now you say that female monsters are not good enough. It's really hard to cooperate!"

Demiurge sighed helplessly, "...It seems that the aesthetics of different races are really different! No matter how handsome a human man may be, in the eyes of a female pig-headed man, he may be extremely ugly. Maybe! Hehe, this kind of crossbreeding is really interesting..."

——Because of this, Demiurge felt boundless happiness.As a demon, he has always liked all kinds of painful wails.I like the wailing of physical pain, and I don't hate the wailing of mental breakdown.

"...Then, what about the human male who is the father?"

"...It's not too good, Lord Demiurge. The human side is more fragile mentally. After letting them push down the sow-headed man, various problems such as self-mutilation, impotence, and suicide appeared... ...for this I had to use permanent magic, which reduced their intelligence..."

"... Tsk tsk, I like the whining sound when they wake up from the charm and find themselves riding behind a female monster!"

Demiurge said with a smile, he always had a smile on his face.And that smile grows brighter when he says evil things.

"...That's right. Let's add the female Minotaur we caught last time to the experiment! It will be interesting to think about it..."

"...Yes! What a brilliant idea. I'll watch the timing and try to add it to the plan!"

Hearing the succubus lady's assurance, Demiurge smiled contentedly again.However, Ms. Succubus also made a request, "...But, I need more healthy humans as test subjects, both men and women..."

"...This seems to be a bit difficult! In order to ensure the supply of parchment, it is really difficult to reduce the number of two-legged sheep raised in captivity..."

Demiurge touched his chin and muttered, "...has hardly taken any prisoners recently..."

At the same time, the tabby cat mage Wang Qiu, who was on the verge of chills when he heard these numbing and inhumane topics, suddenly felt something and looked up at the ceiling above his head, "... eh ? Strange, it seems that some guy broke in from above meow?"

And the little goblin Fu Luoer, who was unwilling to stay in this terrifying atmosphere for a long time, quickly flapped her wings and flew into the air, flying towards the secret exit of the basement, "... a thief came in? Huh? Go up and have a look first! You guys also hurry up and follow!"
