118 Laplace ③




 If you're going to join Laplace - you should become a Silver member. There are no benefits to be gained by joining as a Bronze member.

 However, there is a big price to pay for a Silver membership. Level and status disclosure. The administrator of 'Laplace' is a Demon King. It could be said that they will be our adversaries at some point. If you know the race, level and status of the opposing Demon Lord, it's easy to plan a countermeasure.

 In contrast, the advantage you get is - you can interact with more than a hundred Demon Lords. The information obtained from them is likely to be immeasurably important.

 He who controls the information controls the world.

 If I'm the only one who doesn't know the information that is treated as common knowledge among the members of Silver, there is a high possibility that I will be the one to take revenge. And even if the information warfare is being waged between the demon kings who are interacting with each other, there is no way to counteract it outside the mosquito net.

 The price to be paid or the information to be obtained. Which is greater, the price to pay or the information obtained?

Yataro. Did you get any specific, useful information from the board?
Yes....the information on the SRs of the Random Number Creation is very useful. I, too, have wished to have a dwarf smith who could smelt B-ranked items rather than a dwarf who could only smelt D-ranked items.

 As expected, or rather, Yataro speaks of the information on the message board discussing the 《Random Number Creation》 that he had been immersed in.

''I mean........dwarves can be smelted?''

 I tried to listen lightly, but information that I couldn't ignore popped out of Yataro's mouth.

''Hmm. There are no dwarves under Master Theon's command?
There are no dwarves here.
That's right. All a dwarf needs is the right ingredients and he can forge items.
"Materials?
Right. You can give them an ingot-type item, but you'll get more bang for your buck with the item you took from humanity. If you take the iron sword, they will melt it down and forge it into another iron item.
'I thought item smelting was the Demon King's monopoly...'
I suppose you're right. However, it's impossible for me at the moment, but unlike the item smelting that the Demon King does, it can't be done with a single click. You have to give them the appropriate equipment, and then you have to spend a lot of time refining them.

 Yataro politely answers my question.

'Canon. Did you know that?
No I didn't know that.

 I ask Kanon, the Knowledge B canon, just to be sure, but he looks down in sadness.

'By the way, do you have that information in 'Laplace'?
It was noted. There was a lively debate about perfection during the Dwarf-species Demon King's "[For a swing] Dwarf Synthesis [Put your soul into it]
Perfection...?
It would be quicker to check with the dwarves under my command later, but the items forged by dwarves are sharper and stronger than those forged by the demon king.

 Just listening to Yataro now showed that there was information disclosed in 'Laplace' that I didn't know about.

'Do you want to join?'
You're in charge.
I was in attendance, and Master Theon defeated me. I would not stop you. I would not advise you.

 After much deliberation, I decided to join "Laplace".


 ◆


 Using the smartphone that Kanon first tried to use, he registered to become a "Bronze" rank member. Next, he enters the information to become a 'Silver' rank.

 If you think about it.......how do you detect a false status?

 On the screen, there is a note in red that says 'If found to be a false report, we will immediately freeze your account', but how can you determine if the status rank is correct?

How do you know if the status you entered is correct or not?

 I mutter a question to myself.

"That's the question email that comes after you sign up for a 'Silver' membership,
Question mail?
That's right. I was a "B" in my case, so the question was, "Who are my brothers and sisters in creation?
What kind of question would you ask if you were a physical, magical specialist like Saburou?
As for the magic, I've seen on the board that people have asked me questions about my magic acquisition. I don't know anything about the body.
'What if they're all C's? You can check the information below a C grade for 'bronze' members, right?
I heard that it is impossible to become a Silver member without a B rank. There was a Demon King who wrote on the message board that he grew his creation to B status in order to become a Silver member.

 I see. You're going to do the screening.

 But are there any holes in this vetting process?

 I select the 'Silver' membership application and enter my level and status.

 Level 11.
 Body E
 Magical power C
 Knowledge B
 Creation B
 Training B
 BP 2

 The actual status is.....

 Level 11.
 Body B
 Magical power C
 Knowledge E
 Creation B
 Training B
 BP 12

 I faked my [Physical] rank and increased my [Knowledge] rank. In addition, I also kept the BP10 I got from the first [Special*] secret.

 With this, at a glance, he looks like a demon king who leaves everything to his subordinates. Even when it comes to fighting, he looks like a Demon King who specializes in magic. In the unlikely event that they were to antagonize the administrator of 'Laplace', it would lead to a certain amount of disturbance.

 After waiting for about five minutes, an email arrived on my smartphone.

'Saburo-sama.

 Thank you for applying for Silver membership. We would like to review your application just to make sure it is complete. Please answer the following questions.

 1. Which species other than bloodsucking species can evolve when they grow to level 10?

 2. Which species has the highest CP among the groups you can create, excluding dark elves?

 3.What is the most unique item?

 4. Have you made any demon kings surrender recently?                  '


 The fourth question isn't a canned question. It's a brazen question for a follow-up question.

'Canon. Other than the fairy species and the bloodsucking species, what species can you evolve to once you reach level 10?
Well, in that case it's an 'elemental elf' or 'high elf' of the elven species.
Are there only two kinds?
Those are the only two things I know about.
By the way, are there more than three different species that you can identify?
None. There are two other species at most. I don't know a single bloodsucking species, crash species, and dragon species.

 Then I'm good to go.

 I'll write down the answers to the questions I've been given in my email.

"1. Elf-species. Elemental Elves, High Elves.
 2. dhampir.
 3. Darn Slave
 4. YES

 Isn't question 4 superfluous? Since you answered in good faith, I'll ask you a question from here.

 What is the location of your dominant domain?                      '

 I replied with a sentence to what was requested.

 This time I received a reply in less than a minute.

'Mr. Saburo,'

 Mr. Sabraw's registration as a Silver Member has been approved. Silver membership allows you to have access to more information and use of the board. Please take care of your personal information when you use the BBS.

 Dear Saburo, the champion of Kanazawa.

 I am assuming that you are the Demon King with great wisdom and discretion. As such, would you believe me if I told you your location? If you believe me, it's not close. I will only tell you that.                             '

 Okay. You're right, I don't believe it.

 The manager of "Laplace" easily confessed that he knew who I was.

 His polite tone of voice gave me an eerie feeling.
