Episode 226: The resting place of those in power

A small murmur.

Eneas tilted his head after hearing Yukiel’s words.

Yukiel quickly closed his mouth and smiled without any hesitation.

‘Should I ask twenty questions?’

The Dark Lord Keyata comes to mind.

However, no matter how much I think about it, the name of the demon I directly contracted with cannot come to mind.

The only way left is to elicit an answer from the other person with minimal hints.

“But, do you really not know the dark lord Keyata?”

“Of course. “I searched through librarians and scriptures but couldn’t find it.”

“Have you not had any information about the three seats of Keyata?”

“That’s right… … .”

Archbishop Enneas is quite embarrassed.

Yukiel looked at him like that and continued to prompt him to answer.

Until the name of the demon he contracted came out of his mouth.

However, it was not easy to bring up the name of the demon through natural conversation.

Especially when the opponent is a priest and demands a dark oath.

‘It’s difficult… … .’

If we drag it out any longer, it will only raise suspicion.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t swear while discussing a name you don’t know.

At a time when I was wondering how to overcome this problem, Eina, who was by my side, delivered a thought wave.

『This is Pelodoa.』

You remember that?

It may be a bit unexpected, but it is good news.

“Are you sure?”

『I can’t guarantee, but that’s how I remember it.』

Uncertain information.

However, when I heard that name, it somehow felt right.

Because the sound I hear doesn’t seem to be a name I’ve heard before.

『But, you weren’t there?』

『I took a quick look at the reports the priests were writing.』

Why did you see that?

It’s absurd, but in any case, it’s a good thing.

At least it’s better than not having any idea at all.

Even if it is slightly different, you can say that your mouth is frozen in the cold and your words are distorted.

‘At least neat and simple.’

The opponent is at the bishop level.

There is no way you could not notice the clumsy Magi.

If you try to imitate it clumsily, like you did to Haig of Benson Company before, it will be rather poisonous.

Yukiel, who used negative magic to stimulate the energy of wealth around him, slowly opened his mouth.

“Well, then let’s take a dark oath.”

“… … .”

“I swear an oath of bondage in exchange for the name of Pelodia, a great being in the demon world. “Everything I said above is true, and the Keyata faction has no interest in the human world according to their oath.”

The energy of wealth slowly swirling.

If it were a thousand years ago, you wouldn’t have been fooled, but in today’s era, it’s possible.

Since authentic black magic has been lost for a long time, it would be difficult to think of other variables.

The rushing energy of wealth turned into a black air current that swirled around Yukiel and was soon sucked into his heart.

“Magi… … . “Can’t you feel it?”

“Because the contract is a little special. Since it is a single contract, it is tied to the soul, not the body.”

Ineas was speechless at Yukiel’s words.

If a being is comparable to the Demon King, he or she is almost the ‘highest rank.’

It is very rare for anyone to make a contract with such a being, let alone make a contract on their own.

In fact, it is only written in scriptures and literature that such a thing exists, but isn’t this the first time he has seen it?

‘It would be better if it were confirmed by God’s law… … .’

It’s a bit too much to go that far.

It may be possible to reconfirm it with sacred magic, but it may only cause a strained relationship.

You can’t go wrong with someone who doesn’t know how it will benefit the church.

“I’m sorry for making unreasonable demands.”

“it’s okay. But, the name… … .”

“Oops, I guess I didn’t introduce myself. “My name is Eneas, and he holds the position of archbishop in the great temple.”

Was it the archbishop?

Somehow, the priests and paladins who followed said it was unusual.

Aren’t there even Paladins among them?

“So, did you get the answer you wanted?”

“Could I just have a cup of tea?”

“Of course.”

Yukiel and Eneas head to the Lord’s Castle with a short answer.

Arriving at the office, Yukiel brought warm tea to his mouth and looked at Eneas.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Please tell me.”

“Can you tell what the Baron’s purpose is?”

“If the purpose is… … ?”

“If you give up all other contractors and sign an exclusive contract with only one person, wouldn’t you want compensation equivalent to that?”

“For example?”

“A large-scale war like before… … . Something like massacre.”

Did you hear something about the war?

It seemed like he was talking about massacring over 100,000 troops.

“There is no purpose. “Those who show favor are treated as favors, and those who take the sword without even knowing the subject are met with severe consequences.”

“… … .”

“I understand what your concerns are, but even so, that’s just what I mean. “It is not something that requires permission from the church.”

“Yes, but… … .”

“Also, there is no cost whatsoever. Felodia, who signed the contract, wanted only one thing. “I am only giving you strength by pledging my soul and my karma.”

Hearing Yukiel’s words, Eneas took a sip of tea.

As he said, unless it was a senseless massacre and an action that would have a negative impact on the peace of the continent, it was difficult to get involved.

A commoner would not know this, but he is a nobleman and it is impossible to criticize his actions under a clear justification.

“If it’s not an act that goes too far, you can’t force it. “I was just curious.”

With those words, Enneas drinks tea without saying a word.

It seemed like he had something to say, but he seemed reluctant to say anything.

It doesn’t seem like those words are about Etelos.

Actually, it didn’t matter what happened. Unless it has something to do with Etelos.

* * *

Tsuzzzzzzzz-

Red blood flowing down the exterior wall of the building.

The blood that poured from the walls of the sanctuary began to pool on the floor.

Looking at that, Yukiel could tell that the construction of the sanctuary was almost at its end.

‘Anyway, it’s Daesinjeon… … .’

These are the words that Archbishop Enneas hesitated to say.

He asked me to stop by Daesinjeon when I get the chance.

Would you like me to disassemble the architecture sleeping deep inside the main shrine?

It seems like they want the corpse of someone who was swallowed up by the demons.

Although I didn’t actually see it, I had a rough idea of ​​what the architecture was.

It is probably an architecture similar to Iron Maiden’s ‘Psychic’s Hook’.

If you try to solve such a problem with divine power or external force, it may explode or melt.

Perhaps he was asking for a favor after seeing the sanctuary being built.

‘Well, I don’t have to go.’

I knew it was just out of courtesy, but I have no reason to go there in person.

The Great Temple of the Melt Church is not within the Belkart Kingdom, so why go to a place that far away?

Especially at the moment when Etelos is targeting him.

It was at that time that Yukiel remembered his conversation with Archbishop Enneas.

Ssaaaaaa-

An intense energy of morale and wealth began to converge into the resting place of those in power.

The surroundings turned black and a black fog hung over the area.

The magic circuits finely engraved on the outside of the sanctuary glowed with red light, and a creepy feeling exploded around the area.

-The resting place of the ruler has been completed.

-The ruler’s resting place is registered as a ‘gathering point’ and the souls of all minions are imprinted in the resting place.

-The sanctuary area is activated. The physical and magical abilities of all undead within the area are greatly improved.

-As the sanctuary area is activated, all magic related to black magic is amplified.

-The field effect ‘Area of ​​Death’ unfolds in the sanctuary’s unique area and a well of black lye is created.

… … .

… … .

The sound of the system is so loud that it hurts my ears.

Just when I felt relieved that it was finally over, a red light shot into the air from the ruler’s resting place.

Thump, thump, thump-

The sound of a heartbeat shaking the ground.

At the same time, red light flew in from all directions, resonating with the architecture that was laid out throughout the territory to play the role of amplification and diffusion.

Red lines entwine each other like a net and surround a huge area.

The limit area of ​​the ruler’s resting place expanded widely, and the field of view of the ruler’s eyes covered the entire barony.

-Ghost-type undead ‘Wandering Dead’ are born from the energy of death concentrated by the area effect of the sanctuary.

-You can imprint the ruler’s guards and defenders, and the imprinted minions share the energy of the sanctuary, showing high regeneration and energy efficiency based on them.

… … .

… … .

Guards and garrison.

The limit for registration varies depending on the size of the sanctuary and the number of sacrifices invested.

Honestly, this is why I tried to make it as late as possible.

Additionally, the birth of a wandering dead means that one has entered a full-fledged necropolis.

At first, you will start with the wandering dead, but as the energy of death accumulates, higher-level undead are naturally born.

“Okay then… … .”

Yukiel walked slowly with a smile.

The interior of the sanctuary we gradually enter.

The crystal, which was once clear and transparent, absorbed a lot of the energy of death and became stained black.

I looked inside, looking at the crystals that reflected things like black mirrors.

‘It came out as expected.’

A sanctuary is not an ordinary object.

Necro Castle is literally architecture and is like a building.

Therefore, from the stage of creating the architecture, the internal structure, the flexibility of the magic circuit, and the structural arrangement appropriate for the architecture must all be kept in mind.

Therefore, there were several cavities inside in the form of laboratories and habitable rooms.

‘I think the internal structure just needs to be refined little by little.’

Now all that’s left is to create architecture one by one to be placed in the sanctuary, just like decorating a house.

Yukiel walked deeper, looking around with a satisfied expression, and reached the core of the sanctuary.

There were huge crystal pillars standing in a row, and I looked towards the throne of power placed on the stairs at the end.

An architecture similar to the throne worn on the head of a general ant.

Every time you take a step, the black crystals reflect like a mirror, and Yukiel’s image is contained within the crystal.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk-

Blue flames that light up with every step you take in silence.

The darkness cleared, revealing a dreary, cold interior.

Yukiel, who sat on the throne without saying a word, looked at the entrance and took a deep breath.

“Whoa-”

The energy amplifies voluptuousness.

The power contained in the resting place flowed into the body, causing magical energy to boil over.

It feels like anything can be done within the territory that has become Necropolis.

Of course, that would have been unreasonable if the opponent was Etelos.

“Now all that’s left is to head to the royal capital?”

Quite a lot of time has passed.

The theme park, which has been under constant construction for some time, has now completed various sections.

Now all that’s left is to decorate in detail and add systematic elements such as events and fun elements within the theme park.

There is still a long way to go to complete the theme park, but at least as we progress a little further, we will be able to design programs and events suitable for each section and conduct internal tests.

That way, customers will be able to look forward to new sections being added.

“It starts now.”

royal road.

What kind of proposal will you make?

And how can we gently scratch the aristocratic bastards?

I don’t really like fighting with tongues, but I thought it would be fun to experience it at least once.

I was curious about what kind of thinking the nobles of the royal capital would have.

Yukiel, laughing, got up from his seat and went to check the internal structure of the second and third floors.

I am slightly excited about the event that will take place in the royal capital.
