I Became A Zombie Chapter 19

Chapter 19: 1st Labyrinth Remodeling Conference ②

「Regarding that, don’t we already have an easy way to clear that hurdle…A rather convenient way, I’d say.」

「Hmm? What do you mean by convenient?」Ars.

「I mean, I’m the master of two dungeons, right? Since the dungeon points can be shared, shouldn’t we just earn them efficiently in Plainevelt and then use it to expand Foret Noir’s facilities?」

「That surely sounds possible…」Irs.

「Until now, there have been only a handful of masters who have absorbed two dungeons. Moreover, I don’t know any masters who used the dungeons like that…」Ars.

「Nn, great idea… Aun.」Kinu.

「So now the question is how to efficiently earn dungeon points with Plainevelt, right?」I said.

「That’s right. Do you have any ideas?」Irs.

「Hmm, I think I’ll use “Dungeon City Wislo” as a reference. However, we can’t mimic that right away.」

「Wislo? Isn’t that the neighboring country?」Ars.

「That’s right. That dungeon has over 50 floors and is a super-difficulty dungeon that’s famous among adventurers as no one has reached the highest floor yet.

However, there are rumors that extremely rare items can be found on the 30th floor and beyond, so many adventurer parties are raiding the dungeon day and night.

And so, a town will be built where a lot of people gather, right?

This means that the dungeon’s magic essence absorption efficiency will increase, and it will be possible to expand the dungeon and summon stronger monsters.

After listening about the function of dungeons just now, I realized that that dungeon has had a very virtuous cycle.」

「Hou! If that’s true, you can earn as many points as you want!」Ars.

「As such, Plainevelt will earn points by doing the opposite of Wislo to start with.」

「Opposite…?」Irs.

「That’s right. In other words, we create the city first. By using the dungeon function!」

「With the dungeon function?」Irs.

「In other words, we open up and expose the first floor to the plains and use the dungeon points to build buildings!

At first, just an inn or a tool shop is fine. And then we create a magic circle that teleports to the 2nd floor in the center, and give the adventurers the illusion that they are entering the dungeon 1st floor by going through the magic circle.」

「Sounds quite dangerous, but not impossible…

I don’t think there was ever a master who thought of such a thing… but it’s certainly a good idea!

It wouldn’t be a problem even if a clone core such as myself were to be destroyed by someone else. And if we just make the entrance to the core room a little more cleverly hidden… even that problem can be solved!」

「Right? But there are two problems.

The first reason why we can’t put this plan into action right away is because the humans don’t have any reason or personnel to build a village or a town near Plainevelt.

The second reason is that we can’t enter the city.

Our priority is to be able to enter the city…

If we can enter the city, we can intentionally spread information. Moreover, in order to launch our clan in the future, it is essential for us to become adventurers. Do you have any ideas for this?」

「Aun, you were originally an adventurer, weren’t you?」Ars

「Well, actually, my current appearance is way different from when I was a human.

It is possible that my death is already known by the Adventurer’s Guild.

I’m not sure about that, though. That’s why I need to re-register as an adventurer.

Just that, there are horns growing from my forehead, right?

That’s why it’s possible that I won’t be seen as a human…ah, hmm…」

「What’s wrong?」Irs.

「Come to think of it, I remember that my grandpa once told me that there was a race called the “Kijin race” in Wano Kingdom.

I see… I had a feeling that I had heard that name somewhere during my evolution. I heard from my grandpa when I was a kid.

If that’s the case, let’s pretend that I lived in hiding somewhere in the forest…

When I registered as an adventurer, my name was registered as “Aun Doumeki”. But if I write “Aun / 阿吽” in kanji, it wouldn’t be a false application, and no one other than people from the Wano Kingdom would be able to read it!

Kinu can transform into a human form, so there shouldn’t be any problem with registering her as a beastfolk!」

「I’ve heard of the Kijin race. They possess incredible superhuman strength and are insanely strong, but they are few in number and don’t appear on the public stage.」Ars.

「With that much information, I think I’ll be able to think of something. For now, let’s go to Recuria and register as an adventurer. Kinu, is that okay with you?」

「Nn, okay.」

「For the time being, Ars, Irs, please keep earning points as before. If anything happens, please contact me by telepathy. For now, we’ll just try to enter the city without any problems.」

After this, Kinu and I traveled to Plainevelt via inter-labyrinth transfer, and from there we decided to walk towards Recuria.
