The Man Picked up by the Gods

After three years of working in martial arts and magic training in the Ghanaian Forest, he's out of the woods.

I had no idea.

"Oh, hey... it's today's dinner."

The dwelling is spread with soil magic that improves crude caves, and a bond at the entrance ensures a safe home. Furniture can also be created by magically cementing the dirt and sand that dug the cave.

The diet is well endowed with the grace of the forest, and it is possible to discern without any problems whether it is edible using the knowledge given by the gods or the magic of "appraisal" of unattributed magic. In an environment where he did not feel so deprived, Dragon Horse did not think strongly about leaving the woods, but lived a life of spending time on hobbies that were impossible in previous life.

Especially when the dragon horse indulged in the “slime” study.

At first, I caught a slime in the woods with the intention of just trying to use "obedient magic," which was just a given form of magic, and then somehow kept it as a pet, about six months later.

In the morning, when I wake up, a dragon horse who saw a slime of a different body color than the previous day and panicked about whether he was sick or not, uses the "Warcraft Appraisal" of submissive magic, I realize that just slime is evolving into a slime of the type Sticky Slime.

From that day on, the dragon horse suddenly begins to wonder why the slime has evolved, and spends time observing the slime. The first thing I found out was that wild slime is the bottom of the ecosystem.

Slime does not have the power to hunt for prey, so dragon horses have never seen a proper place to eat in the wild since they came to the woods. However, dragon horses were fed the bodies of green caterpillars who frequently appeared during the rest of their meals and hunts in the slime every day. In other words, the dragon horse slime will be nourished every day, unlike the wild.

Further, because Slime's diet contained a green caterpillar that threw up sticky body fluids as yarn every day, Dragon Horse assumed that this difference between the two was the evolutionary cause of the slime, and from that day on, he had been feeding the newly caught slime with food and green caterpillars.

And two months later, all the slime that kept feeding Green Caterpillar evolved into Sticky Slime, and the slime that gave only a meal except Green Caterpillar to verify which of the hypotheses was correct evolved into a different kind of slime.

Interest in dragon horse slime has further increased from here, and as a result of catching large quantities of slime continues to feed the rest of the meal and what can be picked nearby, there are six slime breeds that dragon horses have at the moment.

13 x Slime

The weakest warcraft in the world living anywhere. The omnivorous, average individual is about 20 cm in diameter. A mysterious organism that dies when a nucleus held in a jelly body is damaged, and when it dies, other than the nucleus disappears.

Skill Digestion Lv2 Absorption Lv3 Division Lv1

Sticky Slime x 153

Slime and size remain the same, but the body is made up of sticky mucus. Spit mucus or wait in hiding and prey on prey tangled in mucus.

Skills Strong Adhesive Liquid Lv4 Adhesive Hardening Liquid Lv1 Thread Throwing Lv1 Jumping Lv1 Digestive Lv3 Absorbing Lv3 Dividing Lv3

The only skills I remember from the beginning are strong adhesive fluid, digestion, absorption, and division, but eventually adhesive curing fluid and jumping are added, and here Dragon Horse learns that Warcraft also acquires skills through training.

At that time, threading discovered that dragon horses who were examining the properties of strong adhesive liquids and adhesive curing liquids parallel to evolution could be processed filamentously when the two types of liquids were mixed together, and when the slime was allowed to test whether the same thing could be done in the body, it was successfully acquired at the end of the practice.

100 x Acid Slime

Slime with dramatically improved digestibility to digest non-digestible objects such as animal bones. Since its birth in the process of validating evolutionary causes, it has increased in divisions.

Skills Strong Acid Solution Generation Lv3 Strong Acid Resistance Lv3 Jump Lv1 Digestion Lv4 Absorption Lv3 Division Lv2

Poison Slime x 188

Slime kept feeding poisonous grass as bait. A good number of slimes have died without withstanding the poison, but the tolerated individuals have evolved. Subsequent divisions increased to this number.

Skills Venom Generation Lv3 Toxic Resistance Lv3 Paralysis Venom Generation Lv3 Jump Lv1 Digestion Lv3 Absorption Lv3 Division Lv3

11 x Cleaner Slime

Slime often drinks water, but there was an individual in the slime who wanted to drink water after the dragon horse washed his body, and it evolved as a result of liking the dragon horse who decided there was no particular problem.

Skills Cleaning Lv4 Deodorant Lv6 Deodorant Lv4 Disease Resistant Lv5 Toxic Resistant Lv5 Jump Lv1 Digestive Lv3 Absorbing Lv3 Dividing Lv1

Scavenger Slime x 457

A dragon horse dissatisfied with the smell of a toilet and trash dump built in the cave remembered that slime swarmed the corpse of a near-rotting animal, resulting in about 20 newly caught slimes thrown into it. It has the skill to spit out the nutrients obtained by digesting what it eats as fertilizer and is characterised by frequent divisions compared to other slimes.

Skills Disease Resistance Lv5 Toxic Resistance Lv5 Malignant Eating Lv5 Cleaning Lv6 Deodorant Lv6 Deodorant Lv4 Malodorant Release Lv4 Nutrient Reduction Lv3 Jump Lv1 Digestive Lv6 Absorption Lv3 Dividing Lv6

There are few types due to the emphasis placed on nurturing along the way, but the total number is more than 900. The dragon horse originally had a character in which the repetition of simple tasks was not bitter, but he did not weigh himself in the absence of a stopping person and had lost sight of the stopping point.

At the same time, however, such a life is healing and invigorating the weary mind of a dragon horse, who rarely encounters bandits and large beasts, while still struggling to live with the amount of power and slime he possesses.

And the same life will continue...

Yes, the dragon horse had thought, but change came this day. During the routine hunt, I saw a pair of five men in armor, not prey, in the woods.

(It's unusual for people to be around... their gear is unified and they don't look like bandits... it's the first time they've seen anyone but bandits since they came to this world, right? Well, I guess it's because I'm pulling you behind these woods... are there any injured people?)

Observing hidden in the shade and bushes away, one of the five can see that he wraps a bloody bandage instead of armor and borrows his buddy's shoulder.

"Ugh..."

"Hold on! Hughes!"

"Kamil, what about magic?

"Sorry, not yet..."

(You don't look well... you don't look like a bandit, and you overlook it... if only enough to give you a break at home. If even bandits are prepared for emergencies, they can handle it)

The dragon horse rises from the bush where he was hiding and tries to speak up. But...

(How should I speak up? Hello? No, it's not such a relaxing situation. Hey! You guys!... This is absolutely alarming and rude. Then what, really, how can I talk to you?!?

Though I wanted to give you a hand, I couldn't think of a word on the head of a dragon horse that I hadn't spoken to in three years, and I couldn't find them on the spot. I was on guard before I spoke to them.

"Whoa! Who is it?

"Wait."

One of the men walking in the lead immediately points his sword at the dragon horse, but the man behind him stops it and slowly moves forward.

"I'm sorry I turned my sword suddenly. I was a little wary.... By the way, why are you there? It's not a place for kids to come, but are you lost?

That's the question asked, but the dragon horse still doesn't get the word right.

"I was hunting,"

"Hunting? Is that you?

My neck moves before words to indicate affirmation.

"It's not safe here... okay. Did it look like we needed something?

The dragon horse points to the injured man and says.

There's an injured man.

At the same time, the dragon horse reaches out an empty hand in a leather bag on his hips, but the man who saw the movement and laid his sword again stepped forward to protect the man who was in conversation with the dragon horse.

The dragon horse, realizing that the knife he had on his hips was bad, jumped back and quickly showed off his homemade medicine out of the bag with both hands, indicating that he was unwilling to fight.

"... Is that medicine?

When the sword man who sees that attitude asks, the dragon horse shakes his neck vertically again before following and spinning the words.

"Injury, danger... use medication"

"Are you going to let me use that medicine?

"Quickly."

They looked at each other once, but while on guard, Yu Man, known as Kamil, received a bottle of medicine and checked the contents before giving it to the injured person. The wounded person's complexion then improves somewhat, and the men's attitude towards dragon horses softens slightly.

"Thank you for giving me the medicine. Now you'll have a little fuse too."

"Home, I can rest, I can rest (pity me...)"

Then, even the awkward words convey the content, and I succeeded in calling the five-man home, even though I felt the oddity. The dragon horse leads them into the woods, but the pace of progress is slow because there are injured people, and their consultation, which takes place in a whisper on the road, is also within ears.

"Why is she here?

"From what I've seen, I'm still young..."

(Well, he's an 11-year-old now, and if he's in the back of a forest like this, is it normal to be on guard? Nevertheless, it doesn't feel very good either. I hope you can de-alert me sooner... but why don't we talk about it in public?

No, if it's just the reason I'm here, I have a prepared “setting," but otherwise... a bad public tale is going to dig a grave)

"Is there really a place to rest ahead?

"I don't know. But the potion worked properly earlier, didn't it, no hostility?

"Hunters can easily hide themselves by creating safety zones in the woods. There might be something like campground."

(Exactly, if you don't attack me, I'm not going to be hostile.... yes, will we retrieve as much prey as possible from the trap? That way we can also dance our meals while we put the injured to rest. With all that help, a decent person wouldn't take hostility)

The dragon horse stops there and invokes the sticky slime that kept him waiting beside the trap with the effect of a contract of obedient witchcraft. Then, from the side, a voice of doubt is called out to the dragon horse who suddenly just stopped.

"What's up?

"Trap... prey, caught... I'll be right there"

That being said, the dragon horse was observing a man who had spoken subtly.

(Maybe this guy's the greatest, huh? Everyone, including the man with the sword earlier, was listening to this man's instructions and moving. other would be an escort or something)

Yes, the dragon horse thinks, the sticky slime shaking the grass and dragging the corpse of the horn rabbit shows itself. But that's the dragon horse's submissive and the unknown man pulls out the sword he raises on his hips with a hand that makes him feel used to it.

(How about that!)

The dragon horse jumps forward and picks up the slime and the prey.

"... is that slime your obedience?

He nodded deeply and repeatedly to the man who realized that Slime was the dragon horse's submissive demon in that action to show his affirmation. Then the man looks at the dragon horse and the slime again before returning the sword to the sheath.

"Excuse me, I didn't know you were an obedient."

(If you can solve the misunderstanding, that's enough. I didn't have enough words)

In fact, the slime is a warcraft, and it is not impossible to think of it as wild given that it is in the woods. When the dragon horse, who told him so in hassle, put the slime and prey in the bag, the line walked out again. But on the road from there, this slime triggers and gradually creates a conversation.

"And I miss slime. I started out with Slime, too."

"... submissive magician?

"I'm a former subordinate magician. The Warcraft I brought with me a few years ago can't fight in years, and I haven't had a contract since. I used to take Red Horse, Blizzard Ape, etc."

"... Awesome...? (Because I don't know that warcraft...)"

"Since my family is a line of subordinate magicians for generations, I've been taught all sorts of tricks and ways to take care of them since I was a young girl. The magic talent has never been particularly outstanding. I'm proud that swords have arms that I can be quite proud of."

(Generations, lineage...... and escort included. This man is noble, or even if not, quite rich or powerful. Or someone close to it I guess...... calm down. Preliminary information suggests that this country should be tolerant of the difference in status between civilians and nobles. You chose that kind of country to send me in so that God could go out of his way to live in it.

From what I've said and done, there's room for us to hang out amicably so far. If you think it's the same rude lecture your boss said at the banquet...... either way, can't you lose your mind)

Sufficient for the dragon horse to sum up his thoughts in his mind while remembering a slight impatience, recovering his prey and continuing to walk. The line reached the cliff where the dragon horse's house was located.
