The Outer God Needs Warmth-Chapter 250: Unfortunately, I got attached to it (15)
Jeber's plan was successful.
Every day, a huge number of applicants came to become harvesters.
Even very rich people came and offered money to make them young again.
But Jeber refused to take the money, saying that the sorcerer asked them to be fair. Then the people living there praised him.
I know why Jeber said that.
The more people there are in this village, the better they are to watch and study.
One day, almost two weeks after starting this event,
Finally, one of the harvesters came out with supernatural powers.
She was a woman named Salevica who lived alone. Her husband died, and her children had cut ties with her and moved to another city, so she was financially poor.
She was an elderly poor woman.
She had done hard work because of poverty, and ended up smuggling highly addictive drugs. While selling drugs, she became a drug dealer herself.
And she gained the superpower to grow plants.
Even if it was a processed plant, she could grow a new plant from it. It was the ability to eat and live right away. However, after the harvest season, she was caught and dragged away while being watched for a certain period of time.
And what happened?
She had several needles stuck in her head, and she became a machine that made plants grow with a click.
In order for the plant to grow, that amount of weight would be lost from her, but that was solved by connecting her internal organs alive to the nutrient tank.
It's a simple solution. I think there's some know-how in this area, so there's no necrosis at the connection point.
Or it's because she became stronger after becoming a harvest season.
Anyway.
Since then, none of the old people who were living well have gained superpowers. However, some of the old people who were left with a catastrophic end have gained superpowers.
Jebert interprets that as malnutrition increasing the probability of gaining superpowers.
I think that's not wrong.
And Jever didn't know, but five humans took turns interviewing the old man who had become a harvester.
Among them, there was a woman who had exactly the same voice as the woman the bird that escaped heard. But judging from the fact that there was no male voice that he had heard at that time... ... .
Yes. More than five people. Maybe a huge group is searching for Jever right now.
Jever was curious about the superpowers that the harvester gained, and the other side wanted to find the person who disappeared.
And the more times you try, the more likely you are to be caught.
One day, Chimera, who was returning to Jever's house after discovering the harvester who had gained superpowers, was caught. I watched them with Chimera's eyes, waiting to see what would happen.
They took Chimera to a room and made her face a woman.
The woman put her hands on both sides of Chimera's head and did something. It was some kind of hypnosis, and Chimera confessed everything she knew.
A chimera wearing a bronze necklace. A chimera that wouldn't be surprised if she died at any moment. It's higher grade than the brass necklace, but it still dies like a consumable.
So I guessed that Jeber had installed some kind of device... ... .
I don't know.
Jeber doesn't know anything, and he's looking at the memories of the harvester who recently gained powers at the lab, who was kidnapped, and who had metal implanted in his head.
It's not as clean as I see it, but he can extract memories and see them as images.
And it seems like my mind can't be read with that.
Jeber doesn't seem to have any hope. So he focuses on the kidnapped chimera.
When he looks around with the chimera's eyes, some of the tools are out of focus, so some are a bit blurry, but he can see some very complicated-looking tools.
No, to be exact, there are many tools that old people who have aged a lot have never seen in their entire lives.
And if you eavesdrop on what they're saying, human cloning is something that shouldn't be done.
He's not just talking about moral concepts, he's saying that Jeber broke the law.
Yeah. I'm getting a handle on this.
It's not the Resistance. These guys.
The state, the central government, they're connected to that side.
They pushed the Chimera harvester into the cold pipe, trying to use the harvester chimera they captured as evidence.
Then the cold air covered the chimera, and it was no longer visible. It felt cool, but that's it.
Well, it's better to keep biological materials frozen.
Come to think of it, when I was producing the harvester, there were some old men who talked to me who seemed plausible. Of course, they were processed inside, but there was someone who tried to find out my identity.
The harvester chimera in charge reported it to Jeber every time, but he only made sure that the person he asked was killed properly. He didn't care at all when he heard that he was dead.
Well, it's not strange for someone to appear to investigate his identity, and it's hard to guess that someone is following him unless you have information.
He's also a hermit type.
He's never met anyone outside to get information.
How do you know?
He's a real homebody, and he's rarely out of sight of the harvester.
That's why he was slow to realize that one chimera was missing.
The pattern itself was to monitor and report if he finds out that the ability was being used, and to return if he doesn't detect anything unusual for 3 days.
I thought he'd at least put up a warning device, but he thought of the chimera as disposable.
That's why he was a step late.
While he was taking out the vital organs and brain from the harvester and turning it into a tool that shoots fire with a click,
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Suddenly, several chimeras there, including him, shouted out loud, "Is this a barrier?"
Some of them shouted, "Is this a barrier?" just like in a real comic book, and it was really funny.
Most of the chimeras immediately ran towards Jeberle, feeling the unusual change that I couldn't feel.
When Chimera saw it, I saw it too.
Several people wearing what seemed to be official uniforms were entering the building.
They claimed to be the Royal Inspectorate and demanded obedience from Jebert. They also showed him a letter with a stamp on it, but Jebert laughed.
He said that if there was anyone he should bow to, it was only the Magic King. By ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the way, the Magic King mentioned here is a great person in history.
Based on my faded memory, it was like when they tried to arrest a British nobleman and the nobleman shouted that he would not obey anyone but King Arthur.
In short, it means that he has no intention of obeying you.
And Jebert showed disrespect for the royal family, but no one was furious at that fact. Instead, they used the expression that other nobles had done the same thing before.
In this country, nobles are wizards. That's what I thought, but when I see them talking like this, there's a high probability that the royal authority is very weak.
Come to think of it, none of the harvesters we’ve gotten so far have cared about the country, right?
So I searched the harvester memories again with the concept of a country. And I barely figured it out. The concept of a country is vague.
Based on my faded memories, it’s like the relationship between each European country and the EU.
If you’re talking about nobles or kings, Jever is closer to nobles, but it’s a bit different from the literal concept. In some ways, you could see him as a king.
A person who owns everything in this land.
To make an easy analogy, if the EU Human Rights Commission came to ask the leader of this land for a favor, it would be roughly the current situation.
Jever gathered the chimera harvesters and attacked them, as if he was going to bury them.
Chimeras with brass necklaces rushed at them like soldiers who didn’t know death, and chimeras with bronze necklaces cast small magic spells.
A chimera with a silver necklace is trying to shoot powerful magic, and a chimera named Assistant is directing it.
And then the Royal Inspectorate advances on Jeber while turning it into a piece of meat from the front.
But Jeber didn't just take it.
When I suddenly see the barrier doing something or other, I think the atmosphere has changed. I can also see Jeber pouring magic that seems like it would kill you if you hit it.
But, what should I say... ... .
I feel a strong sense of relative deprivation, like I'm the only one playing the game with the lowest option. While everyone else is watching flashy magic, I feel like I'm watching clay?
I didn't know that not being able to sense magic would feel like this.
As Jeber regains control, he regains his confidence and says something like a third-rate villain who tells him not to resist and to die while laughing.
And the Royal Inspectorate, which had been advancing all this time, actually stops.
After a while of drinking tea, that quickly changed again.
Jeber's face turned into a look of shock, and the Royal Inspectorate's attacks, which had been reduced, became fierce again.
What was a bit disappointing was that as time passed, the harvester chimera died, and the battlefield became less and less visible.
I thought it was dangerous, but my assistant told the silver necklace chimera to bring the child.
He ordered.
Then the silver necklace chimera each dragged their child into the battlefield. Hybrid.
They entered the battlefield one by one.
“Don’t bother daddy!”
Anyone who heard it heard the child’s voice.
But the phenomenon they caused was powerful. Some children shot light, while others fell to the ground, clutching their heads as if they had fallen into a status abnormality when their eyes glowed.
Thinking back to the hybrids who burned themselves to death, I think they have the ability to affect the mind.
But that didn’t last long.
At first, the attacks were intended to subdue them, but they gradually became sharper, and eventually the hybrids lost their lives one by one. The hybrids who shouted that they would protect Jeber were eventually designated as monsters, not people, and were mortally wounded and defeated.
Some of the children asked Jeber for help. However, Jeber abandoned them and ran away when the situation became difficult.
He ran with his assistant and several chimeras wearing silver necklaces.
The rest risked their lives to stop the Royal Inspectorate.
And soon after, they were all defeated. Most of them died, and a very few were rendered incapacitated.
Meanwhile, Jeber ran away diligently and poured out magic. But most of them failed to hit him properly.
According to the Royal Inspectorate's sneer behind him, Jeber is not good at fighting with magic.
Well.
Even if you can use magic, there's a difference between using it for research and knowing how to fight with it.
Compared to the Royal Inspectorate, Jeber isn't particularly weak.
Chimera wasn't weak either, but if you listen to what the Royal Inspectorate says, it was limited in types, so it was easy to deal with.
Ah.
It's common. To use an analogy, Jeber was only solidifying his grass-attribute, so the Royal Inspectorate brought in fire-attribute.
Jeber ran desperately.
But it was hard to deal with someone who trained professionally to catch someone like Jeber.
Every time a close call came, one Chimera was sacrificed.
And then it was finally the assistant's turn.
Jeber stopped walking, not caring which hybrid or which Chimera died. The assistant tried to make Jeber run away, but Jeber yelled that he couldn't leave his assistant behind.
And there was no time to argue.
After being caught up in an instant, I couldn't tell where the situation was going.
There was no Harvester Chimera in the area they could see.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no chance of them winning.
If I just waited like this, would they be rescued?
While thinking about that, I felt the vibrations echoing through the chain.
After quite some time had passed.
Suddenly, a huge vibration shook the place I was in. Then, my back suddenly felt cool.
And the fasteners that were attached to my upper arm and the beginning of my thigh were all ripped off.
THUD!
When all the fasteners were gone, I fell backwards helplessly.
The liquid that filled half of my body was quite sticky, so I didn't get hurt. I turned over and lifted my head, and there was a man holding some kind of handle a little way away from me.
On the other side of the side I was looking at, there was a place where they were managing me and watching over people who were doing weird things. That's where it was.
I see Jever.
His left arm is bent at a strange angle, and his whole body is covered in blood. And I can see a piece of meat stuck in that bent left arm.
He's alive, but I'm not in it.
Yes. It's my assistant.
Jever staggered toward me. And with a messy face, he lifted up his assistant and shouted.
"Please, please save my assistant!"
Oh. Please, not me. Please save my assistant. You didn't care what happened to so many chimeras, but you cherished one.
As I watched, he came up to me, bowed his head, and shouted,
"I'll do anything you want. Please, spare my assistant, spare Cyclammy!"
Unfortunately, he was attached.
So I offered them both a miserable path.
"I'll give myself to you, but when you're done with everything, I'll take everything you have. What do you think?"
