There are a few things I've learned from replaying the dragon veins in the abandoned castle and Hazama Village.

(1) Castles and villages - places surrounded by walls - are most likely to have magic circles.
(2) Magicians in the time of the Dragon Emperor used the magic power of the land to operate without supply.
(3) In order to activate the magic of the land, you need to appoint a lord of the castle (I can't be the lord of the castle myself).
(4) Those who become the lord of a castle can use the magic of the land.
(5) If there are multiple castles, they can be connected by magic lines.

　That's all for now.
　I asked Lisette and Haruka if they knew of any other unused castles or walled towns...

"Excuse me, Brother Shoma. I'm sorry, brother Shoma, but Lisette has never heard of any.
Is that so?
Yes. There might be a small fort, but Lysette doesn't know that much about it. Of course, if you go to the human realm, there are many castles and towns, but ...... most of them are already being used by someone else.

　Lysette pondered with a difficult face.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　Haruka explained.

The closest one is the castle of the Kittle Governor, which is located southwest of here on the road.　There are several castles and towns in his domain. In addition, there is a castle on the other side of the road, but it is rumored to be quite strong militarily, so even with your abilities, it may take some time to capture it. ......
"Wait a minute, who's going to take it?
"My brother.
Why?
Because you are the High King of the Deformed, the Demon Dragon King Shouma, right?
"Aha!

　I'm not going to let you get away with a critical hit with a refreshing smile.

I'm not sure what to do with it.　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
　It's not. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. It took me a long time to be able to write "Ha" without looking at anything, so I couldn't stop using it because it was a waste. It has no particular meaning. .......

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to know what you think.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm sorry. Liz.
I'm sorry, Liz." "You're my sister-in-law, you should know your brother better than that.

　Lysette sighed angrily, her shoulders heaving.
　Thank God. You seem to understand me.

Of course. If you want to be one of the kings, I will do my best to help you as your sister-in-law.

　...... Hey.

But I think the royal road, not the high road, is more suitable for you. It's not just about power, it's about winning the hearts of people. ...... I think that's what you deserve, Lisette. As you have captured Lisette's heart,.......
The first thing you need to do is to enrich your village.

　I said.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do. I'm a stranger in this world, and I'm an irregular who is not summoned by the goddess.

You can't think about the world until you've taken care of things around you. If you suddenly try to change the world (rituals to awaken, searching for evil, etc.), you might fail in everyday things (exams, etc.).
You're right, brother. If you suddenly try to change the world (raise a flag, go to defeat other lords' evil deeds), you might fail in everyday things (lack of food or human resources).

　Lisette folded her arms and nodded again and again.
　She seemed to understand me this time.

For now, now that the forest is clear of demons, we can start ...... with clearing the forest.

　Of course, the people of this village also have a good knowledge of farming. In the time of the Dragon Emperor, reclamation and reclamation projects were carried out in order to enrich the rough land ....... In those days, the demon tribe also participated in the projects, and they learned various knowledge at that time.

"That's right. They say that the first step is to clear the forest around the village and increase the number of fields.
I see.

　The demon tribe is very powerful. It'll be quicker to clear the forest.
　In the meantime, Lisette, Haruka and I are allowed to be free.
　I have to decide what to do with Ryuujujo. The management of the castle and the surrounding forest is left up to us.
　But it's a long way to Ryuujujo and we don't have the manpower to go around it at the moment. But we can't just leave it there. The demons are gone, but there's still a chance that other humans or subhumans will come in. It's a pain in the ass to take it back after it's taken over.

Before that happens, let's try to help with the development. ......

　In fact, three more slots for Naming Breath have been added.
　I'm not sure what to do with it. In other words, the condition for increasing the number of slots for the Naming Attribute is "recognition by the lord of the castle".

　There are currently six slots available.
　So you can at least use the unused slots for development.



　So I decided to borrow an axe and a hoe from the villagers to enchant my tools.

'axe' and 'hoe' ....... Short words are hard to do.

　Outside the house, with the borrowed axe and hoe in our hands, we pondered.

We have a copper axe, if you want an old one.
A 'copper axe'? There is such a thing at .......

　I got an idea.

The axe and hoe here are recognized by Lisette and the others as the Iron Axe and Iron Hoe, is that right?
That's right.
　That means I can recognize them as well.
　This is an iron axe and an iron hoe, so...

"Activate!　This is the Iron Axe and the Iron Plow, so... "Activate! "Add naming attribute. "From now on, I will spin the words of the king.
「「「「 ooohhhh"

　Before I knew it, the people of the village had gathered.
　Adults and children before work. Some of the people I fought with the other day.
　In the front row, Lisette and Haruka's eyes are shining... well, I've never used "Add Naming Attribute" in front of them. Okay then.

"'Thy name is the Iron Axe'... 'Accept the spirit of similar words'... 'The attribute I give thee'...

　To make it easier to cut down a tree, all you need is the power of penetration.
The power to penetrate. For example, a bullet that can penetrate enemy armor, like an armor-piercing bullet.

An 'iron axe' is an 'axe of steel'. Tetsu' means to penetrate. I give you the power of penetration. Penetrate all you touch and help the villagers. ......

　I breathed in, and then I announced.

"Accept the King's Naming!　Naming Breath!

A line of light ran across the surface of the Iron Axe.
　It should work now. Let's give it a try.

　Let's just go outside and take this...

"Yes, brother! "Brother, for me! For me! No, it's for me. - Shoma, it's for me! Me, me, me. I want to try it.
No, it's for your work. I'll do a lot of enchantments. You don't have to fight for it.

　The village is too friendly.

So long, Haruka.
I love you, brother!
Just try to cut the tree with this.

　I gave Haruka the enchanted Axe of Tetsu.

All right!

　Boom.

　And then...

　A shockwave shot out from the tip of the axe, which Haruka swung with all her might.
　The tree fell.

"............ Ichigeki?

　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.
In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. The magic of the demon race also affects the strengthening of the body, so....

I can't help you, let someone else do it.
My brother!

　It can't be helped! Haruka! You're too strong!
　And it's nothing to cry about.

　And it's not worth crying over... So I'll experiment again with Haruka's uncle Garunga.

"Hmph!

　Mr. Garunga swung his axe.
　A shockwave shot out, and with one swing, it went right through the center of the tree.

"Second time!　Third time!

　Boom.

　With the third blow, the axe blade pierced the tree completely.
　The tree slowly fell as the villagers cheered.
　It happened so fast.
　Of course, this is the area around the Demon King's Castle, and it's within the boundaries. Everyone here is enchanted with a 15% increase in arm strength. In addition to that, you can use an axe with enhanced penetrating power. It seems that the trees in the forest couldn't withstand the synergistic effect.

The dragon emperor's skill is still amazing.

　Perhaps it's because I've gained a level, but I can now see the information on the enhanced axe.
　Let's take a look...

Naming Attribute: Tetsu's Axe

An axe with an additional attribute named after the word "Tetsu" (meaning "to penetrate").
　Effect: Penetration +40%.

　The power of the axe is increased by 40%.
　Add the enchantment of warding and you can chop down a tree in three hits. Amazing. Ogres.


　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it. ...... This means that if I awaken the demon species and use the "Ogre Force, Triple (Dry)", I can get a blow...
　............ I'll try it in secret later. No one is watching.

I'll enchant it for you. I'll enchant them for you. I'll enchant them so you can work more efficiently and get more rest.

　I said, and the villagers raised their hands in unison.
　Then they started to gather axes and hoes from all over the village, with the children leading the way.
　I added all the naming attributes to the axes and hoes that I had brought with me, and we began work.

　After a few days of cultivating the area...



As a result, the forest near Hazama Village was cleared in no time at all.
