Episode 81 Changing daily life (10)
“But that place must have been proven to be the land of the dead?”
land of death.
It means that it is an uninhabitable land.
Although it is more due to people ignoring it than to the devastation caused by war.
A war with the corps commander that lasted for a year.
Tens of millions of people died, and the bodies of most of them could not be recovered.
There was no way they could be cleaned up as the torn and torn bodies were mixed up here and there.
The war ended with humanity’s victory, but no one attempted to rebuild Kalos.
‘Who would want to live in a place where tens of millions of people are buried?’
In this way, people were gradually erasing the painful memories of Carlos, where they had buried their families.
But that Carlos came out of my mouth.
“Hehe, money can overcome even death. “You probably know better than me.”
Although it is now an uninhabited ruin, Kalos was once the capital of the Rohan Empire, called the Land of Gold.
It is said that many statues and decorations made of gold were made to live up to its reputation.
Needless to say, it was strange for undercover dealers to wander around such a place.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to pick up a few weapons.
“Didn’t they see it wrong? “Did you mistake a dealer or grave robber for a walking corpse?”
“Or maybe it’s just a rumor to hog the treasure. However, this is what a dark merchant I have interacted with a few times told me. “I have no reason to go to Kalos, so there is no reason for you to lie to me like that.”
Charon was lost in thought for a moment.
The conclusion he came to.
“A walking corpse… … “It is most likely a prank combining a special medicine and artifact.”
Charon’s reasoning skills are extraordinary, but even he was not expecting this at all.
A being that refused death, the undead.
Certainly, it made no sense in common sense.
‘If Charon is like this… … It’s obvious to other people even if they don’t see it.’
The continent is not on the path to destruction for nothing.
Erosion, chimera, undead, and even a guy who goes around assassinating key figures.
The Four Heavenly Kings were steadily weakening the power of mankind.
‘The Chimera strategy was half accomplished. Even the undead must achieve at least that level of achievement.’
Although other monsters are a pain in the ass, the undead led by the battlefield maestro are the biggest trouble.
This is because the more you fight, the bigger your power becomes.
Truly an army.
If the number of undead legions exceeds a certain number, no one can stop them.
There have been several instances where a game that was going well ended with a bad ending.
‘Originally, Volkan’s power could be reduced only during winter vacation… … .’
What if Charon confirms the existence of Volkan and the undead?
You may be able to reduce the force faster than that.
Because the empire will move directly.
I faced Charon with a somewhat serious expression.
“What if, really what if…” … .”
I swallowed loudly. As if just imagining it makes me scared.
“What if there is someone who raises the dead?”
“Raising the dead again? “That’s nonsense!”
Charon said harshly.
I wasn’t annoyed. This is because it is a completely natural reaction from the perspective of someone who does not know about undead.
‘I have no intention of giving up.’
Persuading Charon. And to inform the continent of the existence of necromancers.
Even if you succeed at just that, you have achieved half the achievement.
“Then does the chimera make sense?”
“… … That’s a completely different issue. Humans and demons are real. It’s totally possible to have crazy ideas about mixing the two. But what a walking corpse. “This cannot happen.”
“Hehe, I think it’s something that black magicians would do, right? “Wasn’t that also the case this time?”
Charon placed his hand on his forehead.
People and the Devil’s Tower discovered in the Creator’s Laboratory of Madness.
These are the people who do such things without any hesitation.
A prank where you raise a corpse? It’s not like there’s no possibility at all.
You must be thinking about that.
“ha… … Okay, let’s say you’re right. But isn’t it just a skeleton at best? There is no reason to be afraid. “What kind of power do these guys with no muscles have?”
40 years have passed since the war with the corps commander.
All of the flesh attached to the corpse would have returned to nature, so Charon’s guess that only the skeleton would be left was correct.
but.
‘It has nothing to do with muscles because it moves with horsepower.’
Even if you turn someone who has trained Mana for a long time into an undead, they become much more powerful than regular undead.
Death Knight is one example.
“No matter how hard you try to raise them up, they are just a bunch of helpless guys. What they’re after… … Fear that comes from the skull moving? “It would be like that at best.”
no. The scariest thing about the undead is not that their corpses come back to life.
Can’t feel pain.
A person who was a colleague just moments ago pointed a knife at an ally.
If you kill one, two more will stand up, and you will become the third and attack your allies.
The battlefield is scary, where the more you fight, the more defeat you lose.
Yes. The reason why the undead are the scariest.
‘Hell’s volume offensive.’
Inhumane tactics… … No, undead (?) tactic.
That was the fear of the undead army and necromancer.
“Hehe, wouldn’t it be okay to just investigate? “There is no other information anyway.”
Charon was deep in thought.
It doesn’t matter if you say you don’t like it. Because it will keep biting and bothering you.
About 1 minute has passed. Charon said quietly.
“… … It’s too far to go directly. “I will dispatch the gutter rats.”
I was a little surprised.
I knew it would be successful, but I didn’t know it would work right away.
I was going to bite it at least five or six more times.
‘It seems like your trust in me is higher than I expected?’
It was good news.
We will be able to continue our good relationship in the future.
“Well, it might just be a waste of time. I guess there’s no need to bring me the next payment. The information is so poor… … .”
Well, I have to revise what I said earlier.
It’s not a good relationship, it’s about being able to continue a good deal.
A business relationship is perfect with a guy who grumbles even when you help him.
‘What can I do? ‘I have to endure it because I’m nice and cool.’
Contrary to me, Charon is a bad and ugly person.
I decided to give him a small gift for him.
“Hehe, please also add that I shouldn’t go too deep.”
“What do you mean?”
“What if we assume that the conditions for creating a walking corpse are corpses or bones?”
Charon’s brow twitched slightly.
It seems like he has no idea what I mean.
“What happened in Kalos about 40 years ago?”
“There was a war between Crowley, commander of the Demon World’s 5th Corps, and the human allied forces.”
“At the time, 10% of humanity had their bones buried there. “What if we assume that walking corpses are made of bones?”
“for a moment! no way… … !”
It’s unfortunate, but that’s true.
“Imagine turning them all into walking corpses.”
Charon’s face was colored with astonishment.
The change in facial expression is even greater than when guessing the reason for chimera research.
“Hehe, even if just 1% of them wander around, no one will be able to escape. Even if it’s a sewer rat raised by Teacher Caron… … .”
Because there is no answer to the overwhelming volume.
So, you need to get out as soon as you confirm the presence of the undead.
“… … You’d better not ignore the gutters. “Some of them are worse than me.”
It was blunt, but I could tell.
Search as carefully as possible.
When you confirm the presence of a target, retreat immediately.
That’s how I’m going to give instructions.
“Hehe, is that so? Then you don’t have to worry.”
“Tsk! bouncer!”
How on earth can I not be arrogant?
Anyway, even if your ability is too good, it’s a problem.
Strong-.
‘I guess I’ll have to stop soon.’
Originally, it was a conversation that could have ended comfortably.
Charon got so angry after hearing the rumor that I lost my mind so much.
If I continue like this, my honey-like skin may get damaged.
The purpose of making known the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings had been achieved, so it was time to retreat.
“… … Are you still going to keep the deal you made with Renia a secret?”
Charon suddenly changed the topic.
Well, it’s not strange.
‘Because the arrival of a commander is not an easy task.’
At least one million lives or equivalent sacrifices must be offered.
Even if there were beings who could communicate with the corps commander, it wouldn’t be that easy.
He must have decided that he had enough time, so he changed the topic.
“Hehe, if you tell me first, I will think about it.”
“bouncer. “Are you not even polite to the teacher?”
“Were you a teacher? “Oh my, you haven’t been to class lately so I thought you quit.”
He bowed his head and showed respect.
Charon’s expression darkened.
I don’t know why it does that. It’s a problem if you treat me like a teacher, and it’s a problem if I don’t.
Anyway, what a picky business partner you are?
“Hehe, isn’t it natural to keep it a secret? “It’s a situation where we can’t completely trust it yet.”
“… … Keeping you alive is itself a sign of trust. “You wouldn’t know, would you?”
“Did you? “I thought it was because he liked me.”
Ppajik-pajjik-.
Veins appeared on Charon’s face again.
It’s not scary either.
So what can you do?
What can you do against me with the shields of Rhenia and Luna!
When I looked at Charon blankly, he sighed heavily.
“… … You arrogant bastard. “Make sure you deliver the artifacts well.”
I’m talking about ‘spirit’s breath’.
A termination artifact that prevents death once per battle.
I have to give this to Luna. No matter how much you think about it, it’s a waste.
“Hehe, I will also tell you that it is a gift from Teacher Karon.”
“… … I guess you’re not that stupid. “Don’t be grumpy for no reason.”
“I’m not being grumpy, I’m expressing a legitimate complaint. The reward for the information goes to Miss Luna, not me. Do you think this makes sense?”
Information about the Creator of Madness, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and even uncovering the existence of Chimera.
This is top-notch information that could change the future of the continent.
But the reward for this information goes to Luna, who was scratching her stomach in the dormitory.
It was impossible not to have any complaints.
“… … I don’t know what your deal was with Renia, but it sure seems like you need to take care of her. “Then isn’t that actually a good thing?”
“Not at all. In fact, it would be the opposite. “Isn’t Teacher Charon using me to protect Miss Luna?”
“I am not at all.”
He is truly shameless.
How can you confidently say, ‘Not at all’ while giving an artifact like that?
Even if you are mistaken for a lolicon, you won’t have anything to say.
“Are you really going to do this?”
“I’m just going to return to you exactly what you did. Hehehe.”
Charon sneered. And that too while imitating my laughter.
It won’t work. I have no choice but to use a special move.
Pooh-.
I filled both my cheeks with air and puffed them up.
A cute way to express your dissatisfaction.
Wouldn’t this be a fatal attack for Charon, a lolicon?
Was it too fatal cuteness?
Charon made a face.
“… … I understand, so don’t make that face. “Where on earth did you learn that facial expression?”
From your love Luna.
Charon, who was rummaging through his arms, threw something at me.
It was a pocket watch small enough to fit in one hand.
[Silver Flash: A]
Attack power: 1
Cool time: 5 turns
Condenses mana into a beam of light and shoots it out.
Opponents hit by light are stunned for 0.1 seconds.
A high-quality artifact that has been improved to consume almost no mana.
In exchange for reduced mana consumption and faster casting effects, attack power was given up.
It has been transformed into the shape of a pocket watch by someone’s hand.
