Chapter 11, The Village Chief's Disaster Day

The head of Kahn Village, a 45-year-old man, is picking up firewood alone in the forest on the edge of the village, leaning on a wooden stick.

Although the age of 45 can only be regarded as a middle-aged uncle on the modern earth of the 21st century, in this world with relatively backward productivity, he is already an old man.Originally, given his age and family background, he could have sat at home and enjoyed the service of his children and grandchildren, and cared for his life.But because of an inexplicable little misfortune, the old village head today had to collect firewood himself.

Alas, I don’t know if it’s because I drank a few more glasses of self-made mixed fruit wine for dinner yesterday, the whole family fell asleep very late today, and when I woke up, even the sun was already high!What's wrong with this?There is still a lot of farm work to do in my own land!

——Until this moment, the old village head hadn’t discovered the theft of the map at home, after all, no one would rummaging through boxes and cabinets as soon as they woke up.

After complaining to each other, the old village head, as the head of the family, had no choice but to drive all the young people in the family to the field, hoping to complete the scheduled workload after increasing the manpower.Then he handed over the work of fetching water to his wife, and he took over the work of collecting firewood in the forest.

What's more unfortunate is that because it was too late today and the children and young people in the village got there first, there seemed to be no dead branches to pick up at the edge of the forest near the village.Although in this place at the edge of the forest, there are as many towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, but they need the arms of a strong man and a felling ax to cut them, and only he and a Machete, but can't deal with it.

Therefore, in order to collect enough firewood for the whole family to cook dinner, the old village head had to continue to go deep into the forest.

After walking far, the temperature dropped a lot, and the sun became darker. The old village chief knew that this was because the leaves above his head were too dense, and the sun didn't get in much.At the same time, the surroundings seemed to be dominated by silence.Except for the slight sound of shaking treetops and the echoing calls of birds and beasts, only the sound of his own footsteps sounded, which made the village chief feel a little flustered.

"... There shouldn't be any ferocious beasts in this place... Forget it, hurry up! I hope you don't encounter any more bad luck!"

However, the poor old village chief didn't know that his bad luck was far from over on this day.

"...[Dizziness]! [Dizziness]! [Sleep]! [Sleep]!"

Accompanied by a series of imperceptible "cat whispers", several small beams of light quietly shot out from the branch of the tree beside it.The old village chief, who was attacked by the fire, fell to the ground without even groaning.After a while, the attacker also jumped off the branch, showing his true face.

——They were two cute kittens who walked upright on their feet.

"...Finally defeated one meow." Looking at the "prey" lying in front of him, tabby mage Wang Qiu muttered to himself.

"... Hey, you're a level [-] mage, meow! Do you need to waste four magic spells to deal with a 'jobless' villager?"

Rachel, the black cat knight, rolled her eyes with disdain, "...you claim to be a battle-hardened hyperspace warrior meow!"

"...About my past combat experience, I'm not bragging!" Wang Qiu snorted angrily, "...The problem is, before this, I have never used a cat's body to release magic, meow! Like this As a beginner, you will naturally feel a little guilty when you sneak attack for the first time, meow..."

The two kittens just squatted next to the comatose village chief, bickering and waiting, until there was a breath behind them that made their hair stand on end—it was between the cat and the dog, spanning endless years and countless planes , but still the same racial antagonism!
"...Hehe! Kittens! I'm here to move things!" The next moment, the red-haired werewolf maid, Lupusregina, jumped out of the lush bushes with a hearty smile. , full of energy, two cats with their tails raised waved...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the afternoon, the surface temple of the Great Tomb of Nazarick

"...Okay, I've finished asking about all the things that should be interrogated, and I have also used magic to erase the unnecessary memories in his mind... Lupusregina, send this person away Go back! Remember to be gentle with your hands and feet, don't hurt him!"

The Lich King Momonga snapped his fingers wearily, and gave instructions to the red-haired werewolf maid—just now, he first used the magic of [confusing humans] to obtain information, and then used the highest-level magic to modify the memory, although Momonga is a A level [-] lich player, but the MP (magic power) consumed by this is really too much.It even made Momonga's body feel strangely tired, as if he had lost something.

Well, by the way, for the sake of safety and to be honest and honest in front of allies, Momonga did not bring the captives into the interior of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, but directly in the temple on the surface, together with many catmen, iron golems and Under the onlookers of the goblins, a public interrogation took place.

First of all, there is the issue of language. At the beginning of the interrogation, Momonga was worried that he would encounter difficulties in this area, but it turned out to be unfounded—the old village head was actually fluent in standard Japanese!The above findings made Momonga deeply surprised: How could it be possible to use Japanese in this obviously different world where even the race is white?Could it be that he actually traveled to another Japanese game?

So, he carefully observed the shape of the village chief's mouth, and finally found that this guy did not speak Japanese, because the shape of his mouth did not match at all.But when he heard it in his ears, it automatically changed to Japanese... After interrogation, the village head explained that there is a strange food called [Translation Konjac] in this world (set by the original author, props of Doraemon) mess in!), and almost everyone eats it.The effect after eating is to let the language be automatically translated and then conveyed to the other party, even non-human beings can understand it.However, it can only be used for conversation, but cannot be used for reading foreign characters.

Although it seems unbelievable to travelers from other worlds, in the mind of the old village chief, this kind of thing seems to be a matter of course.

It's okay to calm down and think about it, this is the magical world, maybe it's not surprising that this world operates according to completely different laws.

In short, there is no language barrier in this world.Even between humans and monsters, they can communicate very smoothly—of course, this does not prevent them from saying hello to each other, and the next moment they raise their knives and slash corpses and blood into rivers...

(There is a common illusion in Japanese animation, as if as long as everyone can exchange opinions frankly, many tragedies will not happen.)
Then, there is basic information about this world, especially the countries and geographical conditions near the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

According to the village chief, the Karn Village where they live and the Nazarick Tomb, which is only ten kilometers away from the Karn Village, are located at the junction of the three big countries, namely the Bajas Empire in the northeast, In the northwest.The Kingdom of Yestiger, and the Kingdom of Slane in the south.

Among them, Kahn Village belongs to Li.A border village of the Kingdom of Yestij.

——In the YGGDRASIL game world view based on Nordic mythology, the names of these countries have never appeared at all.Chairman Momonga finally confirmed that he came to a strange fantasy world, not the realization of the YGGDRASIL game world.

Next, the huge snow mountain looming in the north of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, called the Angelia Mountains, is Li.The natural boundary between the Kingdom of Yestij and the Empire of Bajas, with the Kingdom to the west of the mountains and the Empire to the east.

The northernmost point of the Angelia Mountains stretches to the end of the mainland, and the southernmost point of the mountain range is here.At the foot of the mountain was a vast forest. Karn Village and the Great Tomb of Nazarick were both located on the southern edge of this forest, but one was in the west and the other was in the east.

Further south from the forest at the foot of the mountain is a vast prairie called the Katz Plain. The grassland around the Great Tomb of Nazarick is actually the northwest edge of the Katz Plain.Here is the transportation hub between the three countries, and also the Li.The southeast gateway to the Kingdom of Yestij.The kingdom has a solid fortress city here.Rantel, with a heavy garrison, is one of the few cities directly under the royal family in the country.

——So far, Momonga has basically confirmed that the alien human city discovered in the south should be what the village chief said.Lantil.

According to the village chief, the fortress city Ye.Rantel is the largest city nearby and in the entire Kaz Plain, where villagers often go to trade and shop.The cities of the Bajas Empire are much farther away from here,

In recent years, the Bajas Empire has followed Li.The Kingdom of Yestiger has been at war for years, and the main battlefield is the fortress city Ye.In the fields near Lantil.The kingdom seemed to be in a disadvantageous situation, losing battles in succession, and once the army of the empire bypassed the fortress city and invaded the hinterland of the kingdom.

The map of the mainland kept in the village head's house was picked up from the rotting corpse of a noble officer when he happened to pass by a battlefield. At the same time, he also found some daggers and flint and other gadgets, because It seemed to be useful, so I took them all back to the village.

(The origin of the map is a personal brain supplement. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that the village chief of a small medieval mountain village actually had such a high-end and atmospheric map of the mainland. On the way of the Long March of the Red Army, they wanted to get a map from the small southwest county that they occupied. I can't find a map of China anywhere.)
And the territory of the Slan Theocracy is in the fortress city Ye.The south of Rantel is farther away from the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and is not directly adjacent. (If you take the position of modern Europe as an example, then the Kingdom is equivalent to France, the Empire is equivalent to Germany, and the Church State is Italy. The location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is probably in northern Switzerland. Of course, this is only a relative location, Geography is quite different.)
As for the national strength of the three, in the era without news and television, it is obviously impossible for the village head of this remote village to be very clear.There are also other distant countries other than the neighboring three countries. The village chief is even more unclear. He only knows that there seem to be some alien countries established by non-human races.

According to the village chief's confession and translation, the Lich King Momonga found the location of the Great Tomb of Nazarick on the mainland map, and found that this place happened to be on the boundary line between the two countries.As for whether this is the territory of the kingdom or the territory of the empire, only God knows.

In fact, such a division doesn't make much sense, because there are no-man's land everywhere in the vicinity, and there are monsters and undead haunted, and they have never really been under the rule of any regime.The only thing that kingdoms and empires can really rule is the human settlements on the plains.

The following information is about monsters. Like YGGDRASIL, there seem to be many kinds of monsters here.In the forest near Karn Village, there are many monsters living, the most powerful of which is a certain existence named "Forest King".But the Lich King Flying Squirrel interrogated him for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what race this "Wise King of the Forest" was. He only knew that it couldn't fly, and it didn't seem like a dragon.And in farther places, there are dwarves, forest elves, goblins, orcs, and ogres, which pose a great threat to human pioneers.

As a result, the profession of "adventurers" who specialize in hunting these monsters came into being, including many magic casters.These adventurers set up guilds in big cities and accept missions, but it is said that their fees are very high. Every time the countrymen hire adventurers, they have to raise funds from the whole village.As for the strength of these adventurers and what level of magic they can use, the village chief can't tell.

——So, the president of the Lich King, Momonga, still hasn't been able to figure out what his own strength is in this world.Although I asked my subordinates to evaluate the strength of the village chief and found that his combat effectiveness was probably at the second level, but in the end, he was just a "non-professional" civilian, and he was not a guy capable of fighting in the first place. The basis for the level of force in the world.

Then, although monsters are rampant in the forest to the north of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the prairie to the south is also unsafe.Although this Kaz Plain is a transportation hub between the three countries, it is also a cursed place where undead are often born naturally.During most of the year, the Katz Plain is covered with mist, and skeleton soldiers, zombies and bone dragons appear in the mist... Because of this, human beings have only developed grasslands and forest edges so far. A small piece of land, while the vast majority of this fertile grassland continues to sleep in wildness.

——Well, although this environment sounds scary, it fits perfectly with the undead bunker of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
