FLFO – Chapter 71
After waking up, I move around a little. A certain amount of muscles are required to maintain shape and posture. Only in moderation though, as I have no intention of breaking my abs.
After that, I log in at about 10am.
My Adventurer Union rank became D yesterday. It’s a little late, but I have not been delivering items, so it can’t be helped. Capacity is more important than delivery rewards.
Now that I know the conditions necessary for the next evolution event, I should try and raise my level. It’s good that I can raise capacity while also stably levelling up…. Since I went to the second area yesterday, my capacity has increased, but the experience gain was not so good.
I should be aiming for the fourth area. But before that, I’ll go visit Lana in the morning. I move from the detached palace to the training ground.
“Lana, let’s do the [Anti-Personnel Form]”
“Understood. Let’s get started.”
This is the last one I heard about, so once I learn it, what comes next? I’m sure the quest will be updated and I’m looking forward to it.
Hmm, I learned it.
『Aim for complete mastery.』
Be recognized by Svetlana, the master of swordsmanship.
1. Master six ‘forms’.
2. Learn two ‘Higher Unified Variant Forms’.
Requester: Svetlana
Completion Reward: Updated title
It has been updated. Apparently there are two higher unified variants.
“Would you like to challenge the next forms?”
“What’s next?”
“The first is [Ex2 White Army], a combined derivative of [Ex Anti-Personnel] and [Ex Airflow]. The other is the [Ex2 Water Mirror Form], a combined derivative of the [Ex Water Flow Form] and the [Ex Mirror Form].”
“Then I would like to learn the [Ex2 Water Mirror Form].”
“Understood. [Water Mirror Form] is a form that focuses on receiving and reflecting.
Actually, the form itself is not difficult. This is a form that is difficult to practice, though.”
Since there is not much difference between Water Flow and Mirror, the unified Water Mirror Form itself is not difficult. It seems that White Army is the more difficult one.
Well, I will be taught until noon as planned.
I felt like I almost had it, so I delayed lunch a little, then after learning [Ex2 Water Mirror Form] I finished my meal and have logged back in for the afternoon.
What shall I do in the afternoon? Hmm…Housing? I do have about 5 million in funds.

I can only say that I want it. 2.75 million, is it…..
I can’t find an individual kiln, so it must be in the Kitchen III.
I’m also curious about…
[Furniture] Fully Automatic Distiller Rare: Ra Quality: C Price: 500,000
It is possible to make distilled water and increase the concentration of alcohol, and even transfer it to a bottle.
One pot still is installed.
The higher the mana concentration, the better the efficiency.
Bottles are automatically generated, but the rate at which bottles are generated depends on mana concentration. Automatic production of bottles is also possible by setting glass.
Maximum alcohol content of 1°: approximately 3 times the raw material.
[Furniture] Fully Automatic Continuous Distiller Rare: Le Quality: C Price: 1,000,000 or 1,500,000
It is possible to make distilled water and increase the concentration of alcohol, and even transfer it to a bottle.
Next to the pot still, a shelf tower that utilizes the knowledge of Outsiders will be installed.
The higher the mana concentration, the better the efficiency.
Bottles are automatically generated, but the rate at which bottles are generated depends on mana concentration. Automatic production of bottles is also possible by setting glass.
Upper limit of alcohol content per degree: about 3 times to 90 degrees.
This is it. In short, a large version of the distiller…Rather, an industrial version.
Being a detached palace, one room is quite large, but this alone would fill a whole room. It’s pretty big.
If you have a fully automatic distiller, a fully automatic continuous distiller is a million. Hmmm…if you extend…it’s 2.1 million.
We don’t need an extension, so it’s 4,250,000….
However, I don’t use distilled water as much as I could. It’s better to sell the magic herbs harvested in the field to Salute-san, and there is white liquor in the magic seasoning set.
Hmm, can you make fruit wine with Holy Punica? I can’t drink it, but that’s fine. I’ll make a request to have some collected.
In the meantime, I bought furniture for cooking, removing the wall to increase the kitchen to two rooms. I’ll put a double door here in the middle. It seems that no money is required for this kind of change.
I chose a separate style kitchen. The stove is placed in an L-shape on the wall to the left as you enter. Apart from the hob, there are three long narrow worktops with sinks, spaced vertically. If it was just a single big one, I feel like it would be out of reach.
On the right-hand side, by the wall, are four fully automatic units. This is a workbench with a space between it and the stove, and two slightly larger objects on the stove side are lined up side by side. The smoker is by the window on the top right as you enter the room. I can use these for smoking, bread, noodles and stuffing.
Let’s slot the cooking box vertically into the empty space. The link to the cooking utensils…will allow me to access the box from the counter without having to go back and forth between them. Of course, it can also be linked to a fully automatic magic device.
The most up-to-date novels are published_here > lightnovelworld.com
Yeah, this is fine.
After receiving the Holy Punica from the maid, clean the surface with [Wash] and cut it roughly, leaving some of the skin.
Then put it in a jar, add sugar and white liquor and leave it. I’d say a minimum of three months, preferably six months.
〈Fairellen has come to visit.〉
Oh, that’s rare.
I’m done here anyway, so I can leave the kitchen.
“Yaho~!”
“Good day. How can I help you?”
“I came to see if I could get some honey!”
“Oh, I see. Let’s go check it out.”
From the gate to the house, the palace has a flower field of Crystal Lotus, with a river of Water of Recollection flowing through it.
She has come to see if the Crystal Lotus can be used to make fairy honey, which is obtained through the unique racial ability of the fairy species.
After confirming that the nectar can be harvested, we collected the flowers from which the nectar was harvested, and confirmed that there was no change in quality. In other words, there is a field of flowers here to collect the nectar.
“Wow~! Can I take it?”
“It’s fine. I cannot collect it myself.”
“Then, that’s right…I’ll share some of the honey as a thank you.”
“I’m happy about that. If I’m not here, you can give it to one of the maids.”
“Okay~. Uhehe, the quality of the honey I can get is high.”
It’s better than the wild because it’s managed by the gardener.
The field in the back is… It’s unnecessary because there are no flowers blooming there.
Oh well. Honey…honey. Is it beekeeping?
[Furniture] Gravitas Hive (Extra Large) Rare: Ep Quality: C Price: 450,000
Technology brought in by Outsiders that is kind to both bees and beekeepers.
Just twist the top of the hive and honey will come out from below.
[Furniture] Bees Rare: No Quality: C Price: 200,000
We have captured a type of bee that collects and stores nectar from various flowers.
They are not aggressive, but they will lose their temper if you intercept the food they have worked so hard to collect.
Don’t steal too much.
They produce honey and royal jelly.
[Furniture] Magic Army Bees Rare: Ep Quality: C Price: 800,000
We have captured a type of bee that collects and stores nectar from various flowers.
Unusual for the species, it is very aggressive, and capable of using magic.
As their name suggests, they move like an army and it is very difficult to get rid of them and get the honey.
The honey is very precious, rich in nutrients and magic power.
They produce honey and royal jelly.
“It’s funny how people catch these things, isn’t it?”
“The flavour texts can get a bit wild.”
Is this Yamamoto-san’s retort?
Well…the best box is 450,000. The average bee is 200,000, and the best bee is 800,000.
I’m troubled. Honey and royal jelly. I think that’s good for your body…but I’m a zombie, so it is not really relevant to me. Aside from posture, skin and other parts of the body can be altered during character creation, so there will be no change due to food.
Is the best thing to sell it to Residents? Honey I can use to make sweets and mead, and the latter can be sold to Mead-san.
It is 1.25 million…. 4 million has already flown away. There is 1 million left, but…since the metal trade with Ertz-san will continue for a while that is not a problem.
There’s plenty of space, and it will not be competing with Fairellen-san. It is still a mystery if they are the same thing in the first place.
I ask the maid to call a gardener and confirm the installation location.
“Beekeeping, huh. Then over there.”
The oversized box seems to be divided into several pieces. I put them where I am told.
Then I buy the Magic Army Bees and associate them with the box. The bees have begun to fly around…. They’re big. There’s a 20cm one and a 15cm one flying around. These bees are very large.
“Is this the normal size?”
“Oh, do you need an explanation about the magic army bees?”
“That’s right. Please.”
“First of all, as you can see, the magic army bee is not an individual name.”
Looks like it.
The largest is Royal Vespinae. The next largest is the Royal Hornet. The smallest is the Royal Carpenter Maid….which is large enough to be a bee.
“The one in the hive is Regina Apis. The Royal Hornet is led by the Royal Vespinae. The Royal Carpenter Maid is the one who collects the pollen and nectar. There is a Queen, a Knight and a Maid. Moreover, they move like an army and fight with magic, hence the name magic army bees.”
A squad of one Lv 54 Royal Vespinae and five Lv 52 Royal Hornets. These are flying in formation over a certain area of the nest. Naturally, there are multiple squads flying. Both have a lance on the right and a shield on the left.
And the worker bees would be the Royal Carpenter Maids. They are rushing back and forth between the Crystal Lotus and the hive.
“The one with a large shield is the Vespinae. The Hornets have the circular shield. Both of them threaten to charge with the lance infront of the shield. Their tails are extremely poisonous and they can fly. Well, it doesn’t matter to us.”
“The shape is quite different, so it’s easy to tell them apart. But can you get honey from them?”
“Perhaps not Sire, but it is no problem for us. I’ll collect some for you.”
“Then let’s decide how to store it.”
First of all, I’ll explain how to use the Gravitas Hive. It says that the technology was brought by Outsiders, so they wouldn’t know. It’s rather game-like that the honey and royal jelly come out separately.
The royal jelly is stored in a potion jar. The honey is put in a large jar which is used for various things, and both go into the cooking box.
It’s nice and easy to have automatic harvesting. Well, no matter who is doing the collecting, the quality depends on the housing facilities.
I think I should make a lot of glass for storing it away…
After a few generations, it would be interesting to see if there are evolutions or mutations depending on the land.
By the way, is Fairellen-san safe?
“Those bees are very scary, aren’t they?”
“If you don’t approach the hive, they won’t attack you. When you hear the buzzing of their wings, you should leave. And if you mess with the little maids, they’ll come in groups.”
“So he says.”
“Hmm…doesn’t seem like there will be a fight then, so that’s good. How much was that?”
“The box was 450k, the bees were 800k.”
“1.25m~… Which is better, this or fairy honey?”
“Huh, do you know?”
The source of this_chapter; lightnovelworld.com
“It was a long time ago, but both were high-end products. The fairy honey should have been cheaper because they didn’t have to risk their lives for it… but the tastes are both first-class. Neither are common.”
It is necessary to risk your life, but you can get a reasonable amount from magic army bees at once. Fairy honey does not require you to risk your life, but you need connections with fairies and can only acquire a small amount at a time.
It seems that the flavour is slightly different, so it’s a matter of taste.
I will see off the gardener returning to work.
“Oh, that’s right. There was something I wanted to discuss with Princess.”
“Hmm, a consultation?”
“Yeah. Princess, do you think mercenary play is possible in this game?”
“Mercenary play? A play style where you join a team as a helper in exchange for money or items….is that right?
“That’s it~.”
“Do you want to do it?”
“It was being talked about on the BBS. According to the research lovers, it should be possible to do it, but we should ask for Princess’ opinion first.”
Hmmm…..? Oh, I see. Shirabesuki-san’s group is concerned about Stellura-sama.
It would be a “contract” with a mercenary. In that case it would involve Stellura-sama, so they wanted to ask me.
Certainly, I’m the most knowledgeable player on the subject…..probably. And even if I do not know, I can always ask, as I have connections with people who might.
So playing as a mercenary.
“Speaking only of the conclusion… It should be possible.”
“Oh, you can?”
“Yes, but….you need to make sure you have a solid contract. Even if it’s only a verbal agreement. If you want to play as a mercenary, make sure to have a proper contract.”
“Even if it’s a verbal agreement~?”
“If you don’t have any special faith in Stellura, you can say that verbal agreements are safe. The only thing that is grey is the type of contract that comes with a reward. If you make a contract on paper, you’re out of luck.”
“I see…”
“It’s a good idea to have a written contract, both mentally and RP wise. If there is malicious intent in the contract…then it can become a loophole. If you use it, it’s goodbye. In other words, it will self-destruct on its own and the betrayal can be destroyed. Mercenaries are in the trust business, so there will be no betrayal from the mercenary side. You have to be very careful with contracts in this world. But in a way, it’s easier because you don’t have to read behind the lines for every sentence that’s written.”
It’s all about what’s written, so you just have to follow it. It’s up to you whether you find it tough or easy. The more honest you are, the less you have to worry about it.
“Even if you make a verbal promise, you can check through the logs. It won’t be a case of ‘What did you say?’. But that is still quite troublesome, so in that sense, if you’re going to play as a mercenary, you should still make a contract.”
“So we need time frame, reward and details? It sounds like we should try to avoid complicated content as much as possible.”
“Yes. I think it would be easier if it said, ‘No action to either sides detriment’. That way you can avoid betrayal.”
To begin with, you can’t really consider being a mercenary if you do not have the ability…But that has nothing to do with this consultation.
The reward will depend on what you’re helping with, but it’s a good idea to think of a fill-in-the-blank’s template.
“There is the possibility of becoming famous as a mercenary, and it’s a style of play that works well in RP.”
“As long as you don’t betray them and you’re strong enough, you’re relatively free~.”
“Yes. If you’re good enough, you’ll get more money as hired mercenaries, and there could be a mercenary board.”
You could even have a mercenary ranking system.
A comprehensive evaluation will be given based on activity time, skill, and ease of contact. Of course, a better evaluation means a higher price.
It might be interesting, occasionally….But I don’t know if I have the free time for it.
“What’s next, Princess~?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure what. I’ve bought a kitchen, so I could cook, but I’d rather do that during the weekdays.”
“Oh, you bought a kitchen”
“I blew away 4m on it today. I have to earn more…I also want furniture. But I also want to get some good accessories.”
“Oh, you still have slots free?”
“I have still got 7 slots available.”
“Seriously…half of them.”
There are 14 slots in total for accessories.
The 14 basic frames are: neck (1), ears (1), wrist (1), ankle (1) and fingers (10). If you follow it straightforwardly, you get one necklace, one earring, one bangle and one anklet. And 10 rings. Earrings, bangles and anklets are left and right sets.
But the game is rather flexible. If there are any other accessory slots available and you can wear them, the effect will be activated.
So in my case….Neck, ears and wrists are equipped with necklaces, earrings and bangles of the Protective set.
The finger is the boss drop from the south, an elaborate ring that improves dexterity. And two slots with Protection rings. That makes a total of 6 slots.
So far, it’s basic.
The problem is the Silver Key. The Silver Key is classified as [Equipment / Decoration], so it is an accessory. Of course, fingers are impossible, and ears and wrists are also impossible. The neck seems to be okay if you hang it with a chain, but the Protection necklace has already filled that slot.
Then what to do… Is abide by the famous “It does nothing if you don’t equip it”. So, I used up one accessory slot to equip it. Then used the hanging slot of the belt pouch to hang it on my waist.
It is now equipped without any problems. Because there is a certain degree of freedom, it is possible to arrange things to your preference. In other words, you don’t have to equip all your fingers with a ring…
Some items may specify how to equip them, though.
Well, with this, 7 of my accessory slots are used, leaving another 7 free.
“It’s a shame not to equip something!”
“That’s right. I’d like to ask Nephrite-san, but recently I spent money on the housing production facilities. I also bought my servant’s equipment and saddle…”
“Ah… Crafting and equippable summons…”
The housing is definitely the one that is taking the most money. It’s a kind of end content, and it’s a promise that housing will cost money…
But for now, it’s all about production facilities, so it’s still in the initial investment stage.
I’m glad that I got a fairly large plot of land, a mansion, and some land-specific gathering points, but…It’s delicate in terms of housing for an MMO.
Why you ask? I can’t show off this house. It’s not a normal map, so you can’t even see it from a distance.
Well, in other words, I don’t feel like modifying it. My house is likely to be just a warehouse and crafting facility.
If I were asked…all I really need is a place to have a tea party with Ellie and Abbie. And that can be done in the Crystal Lotus flower field…. Oh, there are big bees there now.
…..Well, that’s alright. It’s just a small thing.
“But at least I’ve made the initial investment now, right?
“Princess does «Cooking» and «Alchemy», right~? I haven’t bought a house yet~”
“Oh, you haven’t?
“I was wondering if there are any in the fairy land. I’m not going to buy one.
“Fairy land…. Seems like a tricky place to find…..”
“That’s right… There’s too big a range to be able to search from a meta perspective. …..
The most likely place is…in the forest, where the wards are set up?
However, I haven’t heard of any past hostilities with humans in this game. At best, they are pranksters. There should be no reason to put up wards and retreat?
Oh, but fairies aren’t part of the human race, are they? There’s no need to go after them, but there’s also no need to actively interact with them. Is that why fairy honey is so expensive?
I don’t know, because I haven’t collected any information on fairies…
“The Chancellor is an intellectual, but his information is out of date…”

“Long-lived?”
“It’s not that he’s long-lived….he’s a lich.”
“Is that so~.”
“Hm? Should I ask someone who died recently, instead of the Chancellor?”
“I see. But will they know? Is it something the average person knows?”
“Hmm…I suspect it might be the case even for a great person… Oh, maybe Sophie-san knows.”
“Sophie~? Oh, the witch!”
“I’ll go to the church and ask her.”
“Please do!”
I’ll leave Fairellen-san to collect honey again and go to the surface.
I arrived at the central square of the Starting Town.
It’s a good idea to ask Sophie-san about it as soon as possible. So I head to the church, and ask a nearby sister if Sophie-san was there.
I heard that she was, so after inquiring if she had time I went ahead to her room.
“Good day Sophie-san. Sorry for the sudden visit.”
“Mm.”
It’s supposed to be a church, but with the test tubes and beakers, it’s more like a science lab. The person herself is buried amongst papers.
“A fairy I know is looking for the fairy country, do you know of it?”
“An island southwest of here, that only certain people can see. If it’s a fairy species, they should be able to see it…”
“An island? Do you know the conditions for seeing it?”
“If you are a fairy or sensitive to magic or mana, you should be able to see it…… But the greedy ones may not make it out safely.”
“Is there a story behind it?”
“Hmm….. The fairies inside will usually kill you.”
“Ah, I see….”
“The fairy king Oberon and his queen Titania rule over the Land of the Young…..Tir Na Nog. It is a paradise of delicious apples, reviving pigs, and good wine.”
Oh… it’s fantasy.
But do the fairies already have a royal family? No, it’s just strange that the underworld was without a royal family. If I contribute, will I get a territory or something?
Oberon and Titania… Are quite well known. Are they the Shakespearean ones, rather than from Merovingian or French heroic poetry? I hope you and your spouse are not fighting….
Oberon and Titania are Shakespearean, but what was Tir na Nog….
Well, let’s just make a note of it.
“I’ll let them know it’s in the southwestern sea. Thank you.”
“Hmm. By the way, are you a Miko…?”
“Miko?”
“You haven’t heard? Those who receive blessings from the gods are called Miko, and they usually belong to the church. They’re the ones who get the oracles… Also known as God’s beloved children…”
“I haven’t heard of it. I have [Stellura’s Blessing], but I haven’t been solicited by Lucianna-san…”
“Mm…. Even if you’re a Miko, they’re avoiding trying to hold a Nemeseia…. Considering Nemeseia’s military strength, power and influence…it is best to have a friendship now rather than poorly restraining you….”
Belonging to….Well, using or protecting…. As an organisation it’s probably both.
From my contact with her so far, Lucianna-san seems to be good. Her soul and karma are good. In other words, it’s white, so there is no problem.
Sophie-san, who is a Sorciere, has the same kind of power and influence. But the fact that she is still here shows that she trusts Lucianna-san.
By the way, Sophie-san is also white. She’s a good person.
If you are a villager who has received a blessing, you can be protected by the church. The church can play a role in spreading the oracle, and since the church has a knightly order, it can also protect them.
But if I belong to the church, it becomes a bit more complicated. It is possible that the power of the church will be divided. I would be at the forefront of a common power struggle.
And I’m not only a Miko, I’m also royalty. You can’t treat me badly. After all, I am the ruler of the Nether. The army of the Nether will move. It’s not like the walls and borders on the surface matter. The army of the Nether will be directly transferred to the centre of the country by me.
And to top it all off, even if they wanted to kill me, I’m an Outsider, so assassination is physically impossible. As an Immortal, I cannot be poisoned or brainwashed. The Silver Key makes confinement impossible.
To put it bluntly, it’s a dead end.
Perhaps “There is no choice but to maintain a friendly relationship” is the only correct answer.
Is it a tranquiliser for the Residents to have [Stellura’s Blessing]? It is the best guarantee that there is nothing wrong with you in this world.
But on the other hand, it can be the best helper. For a royal family or a decent nobleman who wants to rebuild their country…..Of course, it could be an organisation, rather than a country.
Check the colour….The karma, of the souls of the nobles with the “Darklight Eyes”. Tell the king. The guards will search the house by order of the king. If the evidence comes out, the law will condemn them.
If not, I will interrogate him with the Sword of Judgment. With the Sword of Judgment, I can inflict pain without harming the body. In other words, HP is not reduced. It just hurts. The Sword of Judgment is completely for RP. It is a skill where damage increases or decreases depending on karma with «Judge», so it is better to confess quickly.
If you run away, it’s like confessing that you have something to hide, and assassination is impossible, so it’s a dead end. Suicide? I’ll see you in the abyss. I won’t miss it.
It’s a dead end when I’m called. If you did something that caused me to be summoned, there is no mercy.
It’s a very RP-worthy situation. I’ll do my best.
Well, like that, it’s much better to ask me to be a collaborator than to belong to an organization.
“Oh, that’s right. Sophie-san, do you know where there is a dungeon near here?”
“Hmm … between Val Owasse and Finfelden, and between Bernley and Langreno …”
I’ll come to you in a little while, so wait for me.
Sophie took out the map and told me the location. Also the names of the towns.
Let’s see…. The dungeons are at 4-5 and 4-20.
From Felforge in the northeast, go diagonally northeast to Val Owasse. If you go diagonally southeast from Val Owasse, you will find the dungeon on a mountain.
From Barberg in the east, go east to Finfelden. From Finfelden, go north two areas, to the mountain with the dungeon.
From Bellafont in the northwest, go diagonally northwest to Bernley. Go diagonally southwest from Bernley and further south to the dungeon.
From Tirivetta in the west, go west to Langreno. From Langreno, the dungeon is two areas north.
“To the north-east is a mine cave type…… To the west is a forest field……”
“Oh, can you get Magic Iron?”
“You can get it in the north east….”
Hmmm….Now is the time to start making a fortune!
That being said, I got information about the dungeon, but whether or not I can go is another matter. That is completely the fourth area.
First of all, I have to reach the town, so I don’t think I can go just yet.
As a thank you to Sophie-san, I replenish the Water of Recollection from the Gushing Flask and then leave the church.
I’ll let Fairellen-san know the information that I’ve heard. Please do your best after that.
Now, let’s go level up again today.
I’d like to use the weekdays for crafting… And studying the language for a while, so let’s go hunting during the holidays.
I’ll be back to levelling next week. I think I’m going to go to the fourth area with Ske-san and Alf-san. I’ll be in the east for capacity as well.
The latest_episodes are on_the lightnovelworld.com website.
Will there be an event in the near future?
A quest is fine too. Preferably one that gives tasty amounts of experience.

“Understood. Let’s get started.”
This is the last one I heard about, so once I learn it, what comes next? I’m sure the quest will be updated and I’m looking forward to it.
Hmm, I learned it.

It has been updated. Apparently there are two higher unified variants.
“Would you like to challenge the next forms?”
“What’s next?”
“The first is [Ex2 White Army], a combined derivative of [Ex Anti-Personnel] and [Ex Airflow]. The other is the [Ex2 Water Mirror Form], a combined derivative of the [Ex Water Flow Form] and the [Ex Mirror Form].”
“Then I would like to learn the [Ex2 Water Mirror Form].”
“Understood. [Water Mirror Form] is a form that focuses on receiving and reflecting.

What shall I do in the afternoon? Hmm…Housing? I do have about 5 million in funds.

I can only say that I want it. 2.75 million, is it…..
I can’t find an individual kiln, so it must be in the Kitchen III.
I’m also curious about…
[Furniture] Fully Automatic Distiller Rare: Ra Quality: C Price: 500,000
It is possible to make distilled water and increase the concentration of alcohol, and even transfer it to a bottle.
One pot still is installed.
The higher the mana concentration, the better the efficiency.
Bottles are automatically generated, but the rate at which bottles are generated depends on mana concentration. Automatic production of bottles is also possible by setting glass.
Maximum alcohol content of 1°: approximately 3 times the raw material.
[Furniture] Fully Automatic Continuous Distiller Rare: Le Quality: C Price: 1,000,000 or 1,500,000
It is possible to make distilled water and increase the concentration of alcohol, and even transfer it to a bottle.
Next to the pot still, a shelf tower that utilizes the knowledge of Outsiders will be installed.
The higher the mana concentration, the better the efficiency.
Bottles are automatically generated, but the rate at which bottles are generated depends on mana concentration. Automatic production of bottles is also possible by setting glass.
Upper limit of alcohol content per degree: about 3 times to 90 degrees.
This is it. In short, a large version of the distiller…Rather, an industrial version.
Being a detached palace, one room is quite large, but this alone would fill a whole room. It’s pretty big.
If you have a fully automatic distiller, a fully automatic continuous distiller is a million. Hmmm…if you extend…it’s 2.1 million.
We don’t need an extension, so it’s 4,250,000….
However, I don’t use distilled water as much as I could. It’s better to sell the magic herbs harvested in the field to Salute-san, and there is white liquor in the magic seasoning set.
Hmm, can you make fruit wine with Holy Punica? I can’t drink it, but that’s fine. I’ll make a request to have some collected.
In the meantime, I bought furniture for cooking, removing the wall to increase the kitchen to two rooms. I’ll put a double door here in the middle. It seems that no money is required for this kind of change.
I chose a separate style kitchen. The stove is placed in an L-shape on the wall to the left as you enter. Apart from the hob, there are three long narrow worktops with sinks, spaced vertically. If it was just a single big one, I feel like it would be out of reach.
On the right-hand side, by the wall, are four fully automatic units. This is a workbench with a space between it and the stove, and two slightly larger objects on the stove side are lined up side by side. The smoker is by the window on the top right as you enter the room. I can use these for smoking, bread, noodles and stuffing.
Let’s slot the cooking box vertically into the empty space. The link to the cooking utensils…will allow me to access the box from the counter without having to go back and forth between them. Of course, it can also be linked to a fully automatic magic device.
The most up-to-date novels are published_here > lightnovelworld.com
Yeah, this is fine.
After receiving the Holy Punica from the maid, clean the surface with [Wash] and cut it roughly, leaving some of the skin.
Then put it in a jar, add sugar and white liquor and leave it. I’d say a minimum of three months, preferably six months.
〈Fairellen has come to visit.〉
Oh, that’s rare.
I’m done here anyway, so I can leave the kitchen.
“Yaho~!”
“Good day. How can I help you?”
“I came to see if I could get some honey!”
“Oh, I see. Let’s go check it out.”
From the gate to the house, the palace has a flower field of Crystal Lotus, with a river of Water of Recollection flowing through it.
She has come to see if the Crystal Lotus can be used to make fairy honey, which is obtained through the unique racial ability of the fairy species.
After confirming that the nectar can be harvested, we collected the flowers from which the nectar was harvested, and confirmed that there was no change in quality. In other words, there is a field of flowers here to collect the nectar.
“Wow~! Can I take it?”
“It’s fine. I cannot collect it myself.”
“Then, that’s right…I’ll share some of the honey as a thank you.”
“I’m happy about that. If I’m not here, you can give it to one of the maids.”
“Okay~. Uhehe, the quality of the honey I can get is high.”
It’s better than the wild because it’s managed by the gardener.
The field in the back is… It’s unnecessary because there are no flowers blooming there.
Oh well. Honey…honey. Is it beekeeping?
[Furniture] Gravitas Hive (Extra Large) Rare: Ep Quality: C Price: 450,000
Technology brought in by Outsiders that is kind to both bees and beekeepers.
Just twist the top of the hive and honey will come out from below.
[Furniture] Bees Rare: No Quality: C Price: 200,000
We have captured a type of bee that collects and stores nectar from various flowers.
They are not aggressive, but they will lose their temper if you intercept the food they have worked so hard to collect.
Don’t steal too much.
They produce honey and royal jelly.
[Furniture] Magic Army Bees Rare: Ep Quality: C Price: 800,000
We have captured a type of bee that collects and stores nectar from various flowers.
Unusual for the species, it is very aggressive, and capable of using magic.
As their name suggests, they move like an army and it is very difficult to get rid of them and get the honey.
The honey is very precious, rich in nutrients and magic power.
They produce honey and royal jelly.
“It’s funny how people catch these things, isn’t it?”
“The flavour texts can get a bit wild.”
Is this Yamamoto-san’s retort?
Well…the best box is 450,000. The average bee is 200,000, and the best bee is 800,000.
I’m troubled. Honey and royal jelly. I think that’s good for your body…but I’m a zombie, so it is not really relevant to me. Aside from posture, skin and other parts of the body can be altered during character creation, so there will be no change due to food.
Is the best thing to sell it to Residents? Honey I can use to make sweets and mead, and the latter can be sold to Mead-san.
It is 1.25 million…. 4 million has already flown away. There is 1 million left, but…since the metal trade with Ertz-san will continue for a while that is not a problem.
There’s plenty of space, and it will not be competing with Fairellen-san. It is still a mystery if they are the same thing in the first place.
I ask the maid to call a gardener and confirm the installation location.
“Beekeeping, huh. Then over there.”
The oversized box seems to be divided into several pieces. I put them where I am told.
Then I buy the Magic Army Bees and associate them with the box. The bees have begun to fly around…. They’re big. There’s a 20cm one and a 15cm one flying around. These bees are very large.
“Is this the normal size?”
“Oh, do you need an explanation about the magic army bees?”
“That’s right. Please.”
“First of all, as you can see, the magic army bee is not an individual name.”
Looks like it.
The largest is Royal Vespinae. The next largest is the Royal Hornet. The smallest is the Royal Carpenter Maid….which is large enough to be a bee.
“The one in the hive is Regina Apis. The Royal Hornet is led by the Royal Vespinae. The Royal Carpenter Maid is the one who collects the pollen and nectar. There is a Queen, a Knight and a Maid. Moreover, they move like an army and fight with magic, hence the name magic army bees.”
A squad of one Lv 54 Royal Vespinae and five Lv 52 Royal Hornets. These are flying in formation over a certain area of the nest. Naturally, there are multiple squads flying. Both have a lance on the right and a shield on the left.
And the worker bees would be the Royal Carpenter Maids. They are rushing back and forth between the Crystal Lotus and the hive.
“The one with a large shield is the Vespinae. The Hornets have the circular shield. Both of them threaten to charge with the lance infront of the shield. Their tails are extremely poisonous and they can fly. Well, it doesn’t matter to us.”
“The shape is quite different, so it’s easy to tell them apart. But can you get honey from them?”
“Perhaps not Sire, but it is no problem for us. I’ll collect some for you.”
“Then let’s decide how to store it.”
First of all, I’ll explain how to use the Gravitas Hive. It says that the technology was brought by Outsiders, so they wouldn’t know. It’s rather game-like that the honey and royal jelly come out separately.
The royal jelly is stored in a potion jar. The honey is put in a large jar which is used for various things, and both go into the cooking box.
It’s nice and easy to have automatic harvesting. Well, no matter who is doing the collecting, the quality depends on the housing facilities.
I think I should make a lot of glass for storing it away…
After a few generations, it would be interesting to see if there are evolutions or mutations depending on the land.
By the way, is Fairellen-san safe?
“Those bees are very scary, aren’t they?”
“If you don’t approach the hive, they won’t attack you. When you hear the buzzing of their wings, you should leave. And if you mess with the little maids, they’ll come in groups.”
“So he says.”
“Hmm…doesn’t seem like there will be a fight then, so that’s good. How much was that?”
“The box was 450k, the bees were 800k.”
“1.25m~… Which is better, this or fairy honey?”
“Huh, do you know?”
The source of this_chapter; lightnovelworld.com
“It was a long time ago, but both were high-end products. The fairy honey should have been cheaper because they didn’t have to risk their lives for it… but the tastes are both first-class. Neither are common.”
It is necessary to risk your life, but you can get a reasonable amount from magic army bees at once. Fairy honey does not require you to risk your life, but you need connections with fairies and can only acquire a small amount at a time.
It seems that the flavour is slightly different, so it’s a matter of taste.
I will see off the gardener returning to work.
“Oh, that’s right. There was something I wanted to discuss with Princess.”
“Hmm, a consultation?”
“Yeah. Princess, do you think mercenary play is possible in this game?”
“Mercenary play? A play style where you join a team as a helper in exchange for money or items….is that right?
“That’s it~.”
“Do you want to do it?”
“It was being talked about on the BBS. According to the research lovers, it should be possible to do it, but we should ask for Princess’ opinion first.”
Hmmm…..? Oh, I see. Shirabesuki-san’s group is concerned about Stellura-sama.
It would be a “contract” with a mercenary. In that case it would involve Stellura-sama, so they wanted to ask me.
Certainly, I’m the most knowledgeable player on the subject…..probably. And even if I do not know, I can always ask, as I have connections with people who might.
So playing as a mercenary.
“Speaking only of the conclusion… It should be possible.”
“Oh, you can?”
“Yes, but….you need to make sure you have a solid contract. Even if it’s only a verbal agreement. If you want to play as a mercenary, make sure to have a proper contract.”
“Even if it’s a verbal agreement~?”
“If you don’t have any special faith in Stellura, you can say that verbal agreements are safe. The only thing that is grey is the type of contract that comes with a reward. If you make a contract on paper, you’re out of luck.”
“I see…”
“It’s a good idea to have a written contract, both mentally and RP wise. If there is malicious intent in the contract…then it can become a loophole. If you use it, it’s goodbye. In other words, it will self-destruct on its own and the betrayal can be destroyed. Mercenaries are in the trust business, so there will be no betrayal from the mercenary side. You have to be very careful with contracts in this world. But in a way, it’s easier because you don’t have to read behind the lines for every sentence that’s written.”
It’s all about what’s written, so you just have to follow it. It’s up to you whether you find it tough or easy. The more honest you are, the less you have to worry about it.
“Even if you make a verbal promise, you can check through the logs. It won’t be a case of ‘What did you say?’. But that is still quite troublesome, so in that sense, if you’re going to play as a mercenary, you should still make a contract.”
“So we need time frame, reward and details? It sounds like we should try to avoid complicated content as much as possible.”
“Yes. I think it would be easier if it said, ‘No action to either sides detriment’. That way you can avoid betrayal.”
To begin with, you can’t really consider being a mercenary if you do not have the ability…But that has nothing to do with this consultation.
The reward will depend on what you’re helping with, but it’s a good idea to think of a fill-in-the-blank’s template.
“There is the possibility of becoming famous as a mercenary, and it’s a style of play that works well in RP.”
“As long as you don’t betray them and you’re strong enough, you’re relatively free~.”
“Yes. If you’re good enough, you’ll get more money as hired mercenaries, and there could be a mercenary board.”
You could even have a mercenary ranking system.
A comprehensive evaluation will be given based on activity time, skill, and ease of contact. Of course, a better evaluation means a higher price.
It might be interesting, occasionally….But I don’t know if I have the free time for it.
“What’s next, Princess~?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure what. I’ve bought a kitchen, so I could cook, but I’d rather do that during the weekdays.”
“Oh, you bought a kitchen”
“I blew away 4m on it today. I have to earn more…I also want furniture. But I also want to get some good accessories.”
“Oh, you still have slots free?”
“I have still got 7 slots available.”
“Seriously…half of them.”
There are 14 slots in total for accessories.
The 14 basic frames are: neck (1), ears (1), wrist (1), ankle (1) and fingers (10). If you follow it straightforwardly, you get one necklace, one earring, one bangle and one anklet. And 10 rings. Earrings, bangles and anklets are left and right sets.
But the game is rather flexible. If there are any other accessory slots available and you can wear them, the effect will be activated.
So in my case….Neck, ears and wrists are equipped with necklaces, earrings and bangles of the Protective set.
The finger is the boss drop from the south, an elaborate ring that improves dexterity. And two slots with Protection rings. That makes a total of 6 slots.
So far, it’s basic.
The problem is the Silver Key. The Silver Key is classified as [Equipment / Decoration], so it is an accessory. Of course, fingers are impossible, and ears and wrists are also impossible. The neck seems to be okay if you hang it with a chain, but the Protection necklace has already filled that slot.
Then what to do… Is abide by the famous “It does nothing if you don’t equip it”. So, I used up one accessory slot to equip it. Then used the hanging slot of the belt pouch to hang it on my waist.
It is now equipped without any problems. Because there is a certain degree of freedom, it is possible to arrange things to your preference. In other words, you don’t have to equip all your fingers with a ring…
Some items may specify how to equip them, though.
Well, with this, 7 of my accessory slots are used, leaving another 7 free.
“It’s a shame not to equip something!”
“That’s right. I’d like to ask Nephrite-san, but recently I spent money on the housing production facilities. I also bought my servant’s equipment and saddle…”
“Ah… Crafting and equippable summons…”
The housing is definitely the one that is taking the most money. It’s a kind of end content, and it’s a promise that housing will cost money…
But for now, it’s all about production facilities, so it’s still in the initial investment stage.
I’m glad that I got a fairly large plot of land, a mansion, and some land-specific gathering points, but…It’s delicate in terms of housing for an MMO.
Why you ask? I can’t show off this house. It’s not a normal map, so you can’t even see it from a distance.
Well, in other words, I don’t feel like modifying it. My house is likely to be just a warehouse and crafting facility.
If I were asked…all I really need is a place to have a tea party with Ellie and Abbie. And that can be done in the Crystal Lotus flower field…. Oh, there are big bees there now.
…..Well, that’s alright. It’s just a small thing.
“But at least I’ve made the initial investment now, right?
“Princess does «Cooking» and «Alchemy», right~? I haven’t bought a house yet~”
“Oh, you haven’t?
“I was wondering if there are any in the fairy land. I’m not going to buy one.
“Fairy land…. Seems like a tricky place to find…..”
“That’s right… There’s too big a range to be able to search from a meta perspective. …..
The most likely place is…in the forest, where the wards are set up?
However, I haven’t heard of any past hostilities with humans in this game. At best, they are pranksters. There should be no reason to put up wards and retreat?
Oh, but fairies aren’t part of the human race, are they? There’s no need to go after them, but there’s also no need to actively interact with them. Is that why fairy honey is so expensive?
I don’t know, because I haven’t collected any information on fairies…
“The Chancellor is an intellectual, but his information is out of date…”

“Long-lived?”
“It’s not that he’s long-lived….he’s a lich.”
“Is that so~.”
“Hm? Should I ask someone who died recently, instead of the Chancellor?”
“I see. But will they know? Is it something the average person knows?”
“Hmm…I suspect it might be the case even for a great person… Oh, maybe Sophie-san knows.”
“Sophie~? Oh, the witch!”
“I’ll go to the church and ask her.”
“Please do!”
I’ll leave Fairellen-san to collect honey again and go to the surface.
I arrived at the central square of the Starting Town.
It’s a good idea to ask Sophie-san about it as soon as possible. So I head to the church, and ask a nearby sister if Sophie-san was there.
I heard that she was, so after inquiring if she had time I went ahead to her room.
“Good day Sophie-san. Sorry for the sudden visit.”
“Mm.”
It’s supposed to be a church, but with the test tubes and beakers, it’s more like a science lab. The person herself is buried amongst papers.
“A fairy I know is looking for the fairy country, do you know of it?”
“An island southwest of here, that only certain people can see. If it’s a fairy species, they should be able to see it…”
“An island? Do you know the conditions for seeing it?”
“If you are a fairy or sensitive to magic or mana, you should be able to see it…… But the greedy ones may not make it out safely.”
“Is there a story behind it?”
“Hmm….. The fairies inside will usually kill you.”
“Ah, I see….”
“The fairy king Oberon and his queen Titania rule over the Land of the Young…..Tir Na Nog. It is a paradise of delicious apples, reviving pigs, and good wine.”
Oh… it’s fantasy.
But do the fairies already have a royal family? No, it’s just strange that the underworld was without a royal family. If I contribute, will I get a territory or something?
Oberon and Titania… Are quite well known. Are they the Shakespearean ones, rather than from Merovingian or French heroic poetry? I hope you and your spouse are not fighting….
Oberon and Titania are Shakespearean, but what was Tir na Nog….
Well, let’s just make a note of it.
“I’ll let them know it’s in the southwestern sea. Thank you.”
“Hmm. By the way, are you a Miko…?”
“Miko?”
“You haven’t heard? Those who receive blessings from the gods are called Miko, and they usually belong to the church. They’re the ones who get the oracles… Also known as God’s beloved children…”
“I haven’t heard of it. I have [Stellura’s Blessing], but I haven’t been solicited by Lucianna-san…”
“Mm…. Even if you’re a Miko, they’re avoiding trying to hold a Nemeseia…. Considering Nemeseia’s military strength, power and influence…it is best to have a friendship now rather than poorly restraining you….”
Belonging to….Well, using or protecting…. As an organisation it’s probably both.
From my contact with her so far, Lucianna-san seems to be good. Her soul and karma are good. In other words, it’s white, so there is no problem.
Sophie-san, who is a Sorciere, has the same kind of power and influence. But the fact that she is still here shows that she trusts Lucianna-san.
By the way, Sophie-san is also white. She’s a good person.
If you are a villager who has received a blessing, you can be protected by the church. The church can play a role in spreading the oracle, and since the church has a knightly order, it can also protect them.
But if I belong to the church, it becomes a bit more complicated. It is possible that the power of the church will be divided. I would be at the forefront of a common power struggle.
And I’m not only a Miko, I’m also royalty. You can’t treat me badly. After all, I am the ruler of the Nether. The army of the Nether will move. It’s not like the walls and borders on the surface matter. The army of the Nether will be directly transferred to the centre of the country by me.
And to top it all off, even if they wanted to kill me, I’m an Outsider, so assassination is physically impossible. As an Immortal, I cannot be poisoned or brainwashed. The Silver Key makes confinement impossible.
To put it bluntly, it’s a dead end.
Perhaps “There is no choice but to maintain a friendly relationship” is the only correct answer.
Is it a tranquiliser for the Residents to have [Stellura’s Blessing]? It is the best guarantee that there is nothing wrong with you in this world.
But on the other hand, it can be the best helper. For a royal family or a decent nobleman who wants to rebuild their country…..Of course, it could be an organisation, rather than a country.
Check the colour….The karma, of the souls of the nobles with the “Darklight Eyes”. Tell the king. The guards will search the house by order of the king. If the evidence comes out, the law will condemn them.
If not, I will interrogate him with the Sword of Judgment. With the Sword of Judgment, I can inflict pain without harming the body. In other words, HP is not reduced. It just hurts. The Sword of Judgment is completely for RP. It is a skill where damage increases or decreases depending on karma with «Judge», so it is better to confess quickly.
If you run away, it’s like confessing that you have something to hide, and assassination is impossible, so it’s a dead end. Suicide? I’ll see you in the abyss. I won’t miss it.
It’s a dead end when I’m called. If you did something that caused me to be summoned, there is no mercy.
It’s a very RP-worthy situation. I’ll do my best.
Well, like that, it’s much better to ask me to be a collaborator than to belong to an organization.
“Oh, that’s right. Sophie-san, do you know where there is a dungeon near here?”
“Hmm … between Val Owasse and Finfelden, and between Bernley and Langreno …”
I’ll come to you in a little while, so wait for me.
Sophie took out the map and told me the location. Also the names of the towns.
Let’s see…. The dungeons are at 4-5 and 4-20.
From Felforge in the northeast, go diagonally northeast to Val Owasse. If you go diagonally southeast from Val Owasse, you will find the dungeon on a mountain.
From Barberg in the east, go east to Finfelden. From Finfelden, go north two areas, to the mountain with the dungeon.
From Bellafont in the northwest, go diagonally northwest to Bernley. Go diagonally southwest from Bernley and further south to the dungeon.
From Tirivetta in the west, go west to Langreno. From Langreno, the dungeon is two areas north.
“To the north-east is a mine cave type…… To the west is a forest field……”
“Oh, can you get Magic Iron?”
“You can get it in the north east….”
Hmmm….Now is the time to start making a fortune!
That being said, I got information about the dungeon, but whether or not I can go is another matter. That is completely the fourth area.
First of all, I have to reach the town, so I don’t think I can go just yet.
As a thank you to Sophie-san, I replenish the Water of Recollection from the Gushing Flask and then leave the church.
I’ll let Fairellen-san know the information that I’ve heard. Please do your best after that.
Now, let’s go level up again today.
I’d like to use the weekdays for crafting… And studying the language for a while, so let’s go hunting during the holidays.
I’ll be back to levelling next week. I think I’m going to go to the fourth area with Ske-san and Alf-san. I’ll be in the east for capacity as well.
The latest_episodes are on_the lightnovelworld.com website.
Will there be an event in the near future?
A quest is fine too. Preferably one that gives tasty amounts of experience.
