Vandalieu didn’t have the Dismantling skill, a skill that most adventurers who worked alone would possess. However, he had the Cooking and Surgery skills instead, so he could accomplish more or less the same thing as with the Dismantling skill.

Finishing the dismantling of his Orc faster than any of the villagers, he decided to start cooking with the organs that would rot the fastest.

But apparently water had been in rather short supply of late, so the villagers had told him that he couldn’t use large amounts of water to cook. That would make preparation of the organs impossible. But he didn’t want to see the villagers seeing him use death-attribute magic or the Golem Transmutation skill.

That was why Vandalieu went to the back of the house, away from the eyes of the villagers, and used Golem Transmutation to dig a well.

He searched the ground with Out-of-body Experience and found a cave with a source of underground water at a depth that would be difficult to dig by hand. He made Earth Golems and Rock Golems using the earth between the ground surface and the underground water and made the Golems move into the cave to get to the water.

And once Vandalieu had solidified the inner surface of the hole with Rock Golems, the well was complete. Of course, he hadn’t checked whether the underground water was suitable to drink yet.

“Huh, there’s a well in a place like this~”
Acting like a child playing detective, Vandalieu led the villagers to the well.

“That’s impossible, there’s no way there would be a well… it’s a well! There’s a well?!”

“What?! H-how could this…?!”

“What about the water?! How’s the water?!”

The villagers rushed in. Vandalieu took the water he had already drawn and returned to cooking.

And then he carefully prepared the organs.

“No matter how much I use Sterilization and Disinfect, it’s not like the contents of the organs physically disappear.”

People wouldn’t want to eat the organs of an Orc, even if they were harmless to the body. The same applied for Vandalieu.
