YM778.TV Chapter 182: Hex Duchy
In the hindsight, trying to fill the lairs and population with monsters from different part of the world, where they are not prominent, or never spotted in the Lunos Forest, would make some people questioned it.
While it might not lead to much, if they started to suspect something, they might decide to call for more help, which will lead to some very powerful people heading to Lunos Forest, which might spell an end to himself.
To prevent such thing, or at least lessen the likelihood of it happening, Alros decided to use mostly monsters that can be found in Lunos Forest, while using the more exotic monsters for more niche attack.
"Then again, using the Demonic Goblins would lead them to wonder what cause such mutation," he mused, before he decide to just use them. After all, it was likely for the more conservative and idiotic higher ups to think the Demonic Goblins to be formed due to some mutation or anamoly in the Lunos Forest.
To be honest, he had thought of heading towards Lunos Forest right away, after he was done with the Marsh of Torim. The only reason for him to decide to continue his trip to the Hex Duchy is because there might be some variant of monsters in the Danger Zone.
Having more exotic monsters would give him some edge in future battles, so capturing them is imperative to his future battle plans, using unexpected tactics and monsters to his enemies, which would surprise them and likely be very effective.
With some further thought, he head towards the Hex Duchy, intending to head to the Danger Zone, greatly interested in the monsters that can be found in the area.

His journey to the Hex Duchy is relatively quick and safe. Aside from a bandit attack, which he promptly eliminated for some quick SP, there are no problem. He soon find himself in a border town, already passed the border inspection.
"Should I go find myself women to kidnap?" he thought out loud before shooting his head. While it will increase the number of women in which he can farm LP, there is no use if there are no clones or men to fuck them.
He had not take any new male slaves, and he did not plan on increasing the number of clones from the current 500. Sure, he need to replace them sometimes when they die from having their shorter lifespan, and some death in battle, but aside from the two cause of death, he never make any more clones.
After all, while the new women he captured will give him more LP when their first time was taken by him, and he do enjoy the taste of new women, the amount of LP he will get more for a single time is only 5 time the amount of their next fucking.
So, there is not much benefit aside from increasing his LP farm, but he need more men to have sex with the women there, and he will need to add more people in his population.
Currently he is saving the space in population for more monsters, not to mention, he doubt there would be many good women; those at D and C-rank. They would be worth it.
As for E-rankers, aside from taking their first time, it would be better to give them to his men. Though he should spend sometime with them. To see if it\'s possible to raise their rank or not.
It should be possible as he doubt they will get the designation from the beginning. He assume their ranks can be effected by the strength somewhat. Aside from their strengths, it is likely their beauty, both face and body, will effect their grades.
Also, he could never be sure but having experience in sex as well as being able to satisfy the opposite gender could likely contribute to their Grade. It is a possibility, but a he could not be sure unless he test it. Or have the clones test it while he fuck the more beautiful women and his favourites.
Speaking of women, "Monster women also count apparently," it took him by some surprise over the fact he manage to get some LP after he do it with Trima.
If he was lucky, he might even get some more female humanoid monsters, which will increase the count of the women in his possession, while not adding to the population.
"Let see what the future bring," he decided. After all, there is no telling if he would found any female humanoid monsters in the Hexun Cavern after all.

"Well, looks like here is the place," he said, his eyes taking the new sight. While the Furim City, the closest city to the Hexun Caverns is like any regular cities, it differ over the fact there are plenty of alchemist shop.
Alchemist are expert in the art of transmutation, but instead of monsters transmutation like he did, they transmute different materials, usually plants, animals, and monster part and transform them into different object.
Usually, they transmute base materials into potions, or elixirs, sometimes even medicinal pills. Some possess simple function, like healing or restoring Mana and stamina. Some possess greater effect like the ability to breath in water or even some fire resistance and more.
The only thing that prevent the alchemist from creating better potions and more is due to the lack of materials as ingredients or their skills in alchemy is still too low.
Though, from the abundance of alchemy shops, it is likely the former untrue, at least in the Furim City. Then again, Hex Capital City is consider one of the best city in term of alchemist; from numbers to the quality of alchemy product being sold, at least in this part of the world.
"Let\'s try to get some more information. Maybe I can learn more from the people," he said to himself.
-x-
"This should be a good place to start," what better way to know more of the city, and the kingdom then going to the largest collection of books found anywhere in the city; the library.
"This should be enough," several stacks of books formed on the surface of the table, to the shock of the librarian, the elderly women still looking at him in disbelief. He merely flash her a smile before returning to the back, planning to read everything in one day.
