「We have already established where the enemy is positioned, and I have already finished scouting them through the eyes of my Undead insects. The map that I produced with great effort is here.」

Vandalieu couldn’t make out fine details through the composite eyes of insects, but they had been sufficient to figure out the layout of the buildings. The Ghouls stirred as they were presented with a map drawn by using dyes on an animal hide in place of paper.

「This is a map, huh?」

「What is this square?」

「You’re amazing, Van, you can even draw a map, huh?」

「Van-sama, Ghouls do not normally use maps… I believe more explanation is needed.」

「… But my hard work…」

He had lived here for almost two years so he had forgotten just how much of a culture difference there was between humans and Ghouls.


Thinking about how much time and effort he had put into drawing the map easily made him feel depressed. Vandalieu used【Golem Transmutation】to make an Earth Golem out of the ground surface inside the pit dwelling and create a model of the Noble Orcs’ village.

It was a satisfactory piece of work.

「Boy… If you had used this method from the beginning, perhaps you would not have had to put so much effort into creating a map?」

「Yeah…」

Vandalieu was quite depressed.

「Oh, this is amazing!」

「Is this earth-attribute magic?! But I’ve never seen someone with this level of fine control!」

「This is even more amazing, Van! It’s much easier to understand than the map!」

His audience even valued this higher. Vandalieu decided in his mind that from now on, he would simply make models like this instead of going through the bothersome process of drawing a map.
