Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer, ~ I who was a Sage and a Hero of Previous World, Will Live in Peacefulness in the Next World~ - Chapter 212

“So let me explain how to make the elixir.”

“”””Yes!!!””””

Dozens of elves had gathered at the meeting place built in the branch town.

The fact that so many people have gathered here suggests that they want to accumulate skills in case of an emergency.

“First, the recipe for the elixir, this time it can be made only from materials obtained from the World Tree.

“What?　Is it possible that there are multiple ways to make elixirs?”

A young elf warrior tilts his head at my explanation.

“Yes. Elixirs are a kind of potion, so they are made from ingredients that are available locally. In some places, each house has its own recipe for elixirs.

“Every house has a different recipe!”

Is the elixir so popular in the outside world?

For some reason, the elves are surprised that there are multiple recipes for the elixir.

Funny, I thought elves have their own recipes too. …… Oh, I see.

They have lost some of their knowledge due to some past calamity, so perhaps only relatives who use the same recipe survived and the adults in the family who use different recipes have died out.

And the slight difference in recipes may have been eliminated by the most effective elixir recipe while it was being passed on to the next generation.

“Who would have thought that while we were holed up in the forest, that’s what was happening in the outside world. ……!!!”

“No, I think it’s really only in some places.”

Yes, Liliela, you are right, a lot of misfortunes have led to this.

If we had lived outside the forest, it wouldn’t have happened, but it’s just bad luck.

“Ah, come to think of it, the potion I drank when I was injured in my brother’s village worked very well. Could that be ……?”

I mutter to Gyro about the potion he drank while he was staying in my village.

“Oh, stop it, stop it. In my mind, it’s just a very good potion. I don’t want to know any other truth!

Mina-san seems to have some kind of wizard’s obsession.

Well, it’s a kind of craftsman’s pride that others can’t understand, so I’ll leave it alone.

“The more elixirs you can make, the less rare they are and the lower the price ……”

No, no, no, elixirs are household pharmacy, they don’t fetch much.

“Excuse me, Mr. Lex. Can I take this lecture?　I want to use it to treat members of my church.”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

Mr. Nolbu is a master. I guess he wants to memorize recipes for multiple elixirs in case he runs out of magic for his restorative spells.

The ingredients are available in different places.

After making sure everyone has calmed down, I start explaining the recipe for the elixir using materials from the World Tree.

“These materials can be used in powder form or mixed with the juice of medicinal herbs. And these ingredients are from …….”

After the explanation, the elixir production is demonstrated. Since this is only for the purpose of explanation, the quality of the medicine is of secondary importance, and the procedure is explained again while slowly making the elixir.

“Go to ……, mix this and you are done. Very easy, isn’t it?　Now let’s see what you guys can make next.”

“”””Yes!!””””

The elves gather at the tables set up in the hall and begin to try their hand at making the elixir.

“Wow, elixirs are surprisingly easy to make.

“Of course. I thought it would be more difficult since it is a legendary medicine.

After a while, everyone had completed their elixirs.

One by one, they check to make sure that everyone’s elixirs are successful.

“You are all doing fine.

“”””Oh!!!””””

“Seriously?　I made the elixir!”

“I made the elixir, didn’t I? ……”

“Heh, with this, I’m not afraid of getting hurt anymore!”

Yeah, everyone’s getting motivated right away.

Let’s move on to the next step.

Now that everyone has completed the elixir, let’s go to the next step of combat training.

“”””ha…… what?””””

“Yes, then please follow me with your own elixirs!”

After saying this and leading the others, we come to the ground.

“Now I’m going to lead the demons to you, and you will fight them without using magic.

“”””What?

“Hey, wait a minute!　No magic!　That’s impossible!

As soon as we start training, one of the elven warriors shouts out.

“No, it’s not impossible at all!

“It’s impossible!　You know how big that monster is!　We don’t have the sturdy bodies of dwarves, and if we fought without magic, we’d be ground into meat in no time!”

Well, I think a shell as big as that demon’s can be cut with a normal blade.

But since the young elves are dedicated to fighting with spirit magic according to the township’s policy, they may feel uneasy in a hand-to-hand battle.

People are always nervous when they try something for the first time.

Then I’ll try to fight without magic first.

“What?”

Yes, if you’re unsure, it’s important to first show that you can do it.

If he can do it, I can do it too.

So from now on, we will fight without magic and only with technology.

I go into the forest and lead a handful of demons back under the World Tree.

“Here we go!

I pull out an ordinary knife from my magic bag and head for it.

“One knife!　That’s crazy!

“First, I’ll cut the thinnest part of his joint to block his movement!

I thrust the knife into the back of the demon’s knee and cut the tendon.

With this, the demon loses its balance and falls down.

“As soon as it stops on one leg and falls over, I cut its shoulder joint!

I sever the joint of the demon’s shoulder so that he cannot swing his arm.

“I also sever the tendons in the other leg and shoulder in the same way!”

By following the same procedure for the other side, the demon is now unable to move.

“Now, the demons with jointed limbs will be unable to move. If the tendon is deep, you can either cut the surface repeatedly to reach the blade, or you can cut the whole surface as if you were cutting a large tree, and finally sever it using the opponent’s own weight.

I get on top of the stuck demon and stab the knife into its brain to put a complete stop to it.

“Then, if I slowly cut off the body of the opponent who is unable to move, I can defeat any large enemy in the end.

“When you look at it like this, it’s a pretty brutal way to beat them.”

“Well, I tried to demonstrate it like this, but what I was doing was pretty simple, wasn’t it?”

“”””It’s not easy at all!!!””””

Huh?　That’s funny.

I didn’t use any special technique, just a simple cutting demonstration.

“Cutting joints is so easy!　They have hard membranes even at the joints, so you need a dwarven axe to cut them easily!”

“It’s like this, you have to do the thinnest part of the joint like this. Here.”

I stick the knife into the thin backside of the joint in front of everyone.

“For real. How does this knife stick?”

“No, it doesn’t stick at all.”

Immediately, motivated elven warriors try to insert their knives into the joints of the demons I have defeated, but they cannot penetrate them at all because they are in the wrong place.

The young elves in this township have a complete division of labor, so they don’t seem to have any knowledge of this kind of dismantling.

“That’s a hard part.　Try stabbing it here.”

“No, change the location and …… too!”

The elf-warrior seemed to say it would be impossible, but the moment he put the blade on it, the knife sunk deep.

“””” it stuck!

“Hey, did you do something?

The other elf warriors are rolling their eyes, wondering if I’m cheating, but there’s no point in cheating, is there?

No, no, I didn’t do anything!

“No, no, I didn’t do anything!” “You’re lying!　You stabbed me with a knife!”

No, I stabbed him, but…?

If you know the right place to stab, you can pierce the monster’s hard shell with a knife. See, it was easy, wasn’t it?

“””” So how do you do it?

Well, the elves in this township have low self-esteem.

I think they can do better.

“Oh, how I miss it! I used to be like that.

Liliela, who had been watching our exchange, looked deeply moved.

“Oh, yes. Let’s have Liliela do it next time.

“What?　Me? !”

“Liliela-san became an A-rank adventurer at a very young age, so you should be able to handle this.

“””” method……””””

The gazes of the elf warriors are drawn to Ms. Liliela.

“What?　No, I mean ……”

“Come on in, Liliela!”

“”””ji ……””””

“I can’t do it, I can’t do it!”

But Liliela, perhaps embarrassed to stand out, said she couldn’t and ran away.

Come to think of it, she was also embarrassed when she was mistaken for the dragon princess in Dragonia.

Liliela seems to be quite shy.

While I was talking with the elves like this, I felt a swarm of demons approaching me in the exploration magic.

“Oh, it looks like a herd of demons has just arrived. Shall we start training then? Magic sealing!

I deploy magic sealing spells around me for training.

“I’ve disabled magic, so please be careful not to try to use magic by accident. It will increase the gap during the battle.

“You made magic unavailable to ……?”

The young elf warriors tilted their heads at the word “magic blocked”, but the moment they saw the demons attacking them with a yell, they immediately cast spirit magic.

“Spirit of fire!　Let those demons burn!”

But the spirits did not seem to answer their call at all, and their magic was never activated.

“I really can’t use magic!

What should we do?

“Everyone, if you don’t avoid them, you will die!

“What?　Uh, oh, oh!”

The elves evade the charging monsters in the nick of time.

“Impossible, impossible, impossible!　You’ll die if you get hit!

The elves are convinced that they will lose if they don’t do something, and ask to be allowed to use their magic.

“Don’t worry, everyone!　That’s why I brought the elixir!”

“What?”

For a moment, the young elven warriors tilted their heads to the side, but then they quickly realized what it meant and their faces turned blue.

“Well, does it mean that we should heal ourselves with elixirs when we are injured?

Yes, that’s what I mean. Making elixirs and training in actual combat are the basics of group combat.

“”””Where are you getting your basics from?

Huh?　It’s rather normal for knights and warriors, isn’t it?

“If you are hit by such a huge body, you will be dead before you can drink the elixir!”

The young elf warriors are complaining that they can’t do it.

I see, the low self-esteem of the young people is one of the reasons why Sharaza asked me to train them.

I see that becoming a full-time worker is not only a good thing.

“So here’s what we’re going to do. Wide-just-low protection!”

What’s this?

I’ll cast a ranged protection spell on everyone.

I’ve just cast a lower range Extreme Protection spell on all of you.

“Lower range extreme defense magic?　What’s that?”

This defensive magic is a magic that just barely survives a near-death attack, even if all allies within range are hit by an instant-death level attack.”

“”””Why such a subtle effect!?””””

Ha-ha, I know how you feel.

That’s how I felt when I was asked to create magic.

“A long time ago, a general of a certain country had this magic made because he wanted the new recruits to experience the danger of not dying at the last minute because they were in training and had no sense of danger.

“”””So isn’t that guy the worst!

Well, he was a pretty vicious guy, that’s for sure.

But he had a track record, and sometimes his actions made sense when he tried.

“Anyway, now that you are not going to die by any chance, please heal yourselves with elixirs if you are seriously wounded. By doing so, you will not only learn combat training, but you will also be able to understand the effect of the elixir you create.

“By feel, you mean …….”

“Oh, don’t look away, gentlemen.”

“””” what? “”””

The young elf warriors, engrossed in their conversation with me, are attacked by demons.

Curururuggah!

And before he can evade, he is blown away and slammed against the wall of the fort.

“”””Guwahhhh!!!””””

“Yes, I’m …… alive.”

“Oh, thank God. ……?”

But thanks to the lower range extreme protection magic I cast, everyone survived, albeit seriously wounded.

However, the magic was designed to hold out just in time, so a direct hit would do a lot of damage.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch! …… Oh, my leg is pointing in a strange direction ……”

“Everyone please drink the elixir and recover quickly. Otherwise, the demons will come again!

“Hee?　Elixir!　I need the elixir!”

The young elven warriors, seeing the demons approaching again, hurriedly sip the elixir.

“Gulp!!!”

The young elven warriors began to glow faintly and their wounds were healed in no time at all.

Well, it worked!

“Oh, wow!　My wounds are healed!

“Oh, my leg is healed!　Oh, thank goodness. ……

“Ladies and gentlemen, the demons are here!”

But the demons are not vanquished, and soon the young elf warriors are in trouble again.

“”””Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

But not everyone is on the run.

“d*mn!　I’ll do it!　Let’s do it!”

A brave young elf warrior heads toward the demon, narrowly evades his enemy’s attack, and immediately begins to fight back………

Click!

It seems I had aimed at the wrong place and it bounced back.

“Calm down!　You should be able to spot the thin part of the shell as you move!”

“So, can you do it?

I can’t do it!

C’gaaaahhh!

while the young elf warriors are blown away by the demons.

“”””Wow!!!””””

And the elves slammed to the ground and walls, dying again.

“Shh, die, die. ……”

“Hygyaaa!”

“Help! Help! ……!”

“Shit!　Stab me!　Stabbed!”

“Oh, my God!”

They frantically drink elixirs to heal their wounds and then head toward the demons with frantic expressions on their faces.

Liliela, who was watching the scene, mutters to herself.

“……It’s a hellish scene!”

“We were like that too ……, weren’t we?”

“Oh, God. Save their hearts.”

“It’s a good thing that the material of the demons won’t be damaged …… if we attack them too messily.”

Liliela and Mina seem to be remembering the time when they were training, and their expressions are deep in emotion.

Nolbu, on the other hand, is praying for the growth of the young elf warriors who are training so hard.

Mr. Megli is …… well, as usual.

And speaking of usual, here’s another one.

“Hey, hey brother, can’t I join you?”

“Cu-cu-cu-cu-cu!”

Gyro and Mohamofu asked me, as if they wanted to fight too.

“Well, the demons here are their prey, so any additional demons from outside is fine.

“Yes!”

“Cue cue!”

With permission, the two men quickly head toward the demons that have come from beyond the fog.

“Oh, Liliela, please supervise so that Fluffy doesn’t run off into the woods.”

“Okay.”

That’s right. For some reason, ever since we came here, Mohammed has been trying to get into the forest.

Is something bothering him?

While observing the battlefield in this way, a change occurred to the young elf warriors.

“Hi, hi, hi …… I can’t die, I can’t die …… then I’ll do it till you die!”

“Here?　No? This way then?　Geeboo!　E,elixir…… gulp,okay,next time,here we go.”

“Hyahhhh!　It stings… ohhhh!”

“Heh, heh, heh, as long as I have the elixir, I can heal my wounds. …… I’m not afraid of you guys!”

The young elven warriors who had been panicking and running away from the battle, thinking that there was no way they could win, but after almost dying many times, they realized the effects of the Elixir and the blessings of the Extreme Defense Magic, and boldly started to challenge the demons, thinking that if they didn’t die, they would one day be able to win.

“Yes, they finally realized their true strength. Yes, you are much stronger than you think. It is too early to limit your possibilities.

All the young elf warriors evade the demon’s attacks with a single stroke of the paper, willing to be wounded, and begin to thrust their knives into the demon’s joints.

Their heroic appearance reminded me of the elves I had fought with in the past.

“Hee-hee-hee!　I know!　I can see your fragile side!

“Once the attack gets through, we’ll be all right!　Now we’re going to scare the shit out of you!

C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon!

“”””Kill all the demons!!!””””

“C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon!”

The cries of elves and demons echoed through the misty forest.
