The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 179: "Damage From Rumors"

The zombies used for fusion experiments will first be those under my command. To be precise, they are under Sieg's command, but like the skeletons, they are those who are spending their spare time idling in the royal capital.

As zombies are weaker than skeletons, they should have been used for experiments first. However, if resurrected, they can perform tasks closer to those of humans. Thanks to Sieg's diligent work, about half of them had already been resurrected as Revenants. He thought it would be fine if that was the case, so he gave priority to the skeletons.

However, the fusion monster, the Warrior Skeleton, was a powerful unit because it required additional experience points. It surpassed even Queen-class entities.

In that case, creating monsters of equal rank using the remaining zombies could significantly strengthen our forces.

"Ten normal zombies make a Fresh Golem and ten Revenants make a Giant Corpse."

"Squire zombies can turn into Fresh Golems too, huh?"

Squire zombies seem to be no different from regular zombies except for the unlocked route to becoming vampires.

Furthermore, once fused into a Fresh Golem, information about vampires is lost. Even when Blanc gave blood to the Fresh Golem that was originally a squire zombie, it could only be resurrected as a Giant Corpse.

In any case, Fresh Golems are more powerful than ten zombies, and Giant Corpses are more powerful than ten Revenants, so all the summoned creatures were grouped together. Although there are still many zombies in the capital, not all of them can be summoned here.

Attempts to create something with ten Giant Corpses failed, as approaching them to eggs resulted in no change.

This also applied to Warrior Skulls, and it seemed impossible to create even larger units from the remaining undead.

"So, what's next?"

"Well, since it's clear they won't enter the eggs, maybe we should ask Yoroizaka and Kenzaki. As magical creatures, there's a good chance they can do something."

"By the way, why is Lyra in charge? Aren't you going home?"

"Huh, isn't that awful?"

I'm not telling her to go home, but she probably doesn't have anything more to do here even if she stays."

"So you're free?"

"I'm not exactly free. Well, I've already done everything that needs to be done, and some things are waiting for results.

It's fine to stay, right? Eh? Can't I?"

"It's not like that! I'm just genuinely wondering why you're here."

"...It's that works the best, I guess."

"Then, give me some Mithril. If you haven't used it for anything other than cooking utensils, you probably still have some, right?"

"Well, what's with that? It's true that I have some left. Rare might not know, but in the market, it's quite valuable. It rarely circulates."

...I see, market value.

If that's the case, asking Gustav or someone about Mithril might have provided the desired information. Since it was received directly from the management, the idea of asking an NPC didn't come to mind.

Thinking about it, there might have been someone among Remy's artisans who knew about it.

Since the performance could already be understood through [Appraisal], it wasn't necessary, but...
