“How strong were the 7th and 6th lords?”
The Black Sea Empress asked me that before leaving.
I looked at her without answering.
She raised an eyebrow and spoke again.
“I’m just curious. As a vampire with no taste, I’ve always wanted to chew it up and swallow it.”
“············”.
“But now, you’re starting to lose your appetite, too. This time, we’re just going to move on like this, but let’s be careful in the future. Whoa…”
I glanced at her back, wiggling her antennae as she moved away, and then I turned to the other side.
‘By the way, what is the heavenly palace…?’
I tried not to say anything to me with the Valkylope Gun that I had in the 3rd monarchy, but it was already gone.
Everyone left, and now only the 1st monarch new and the 4th monarch King of the Dead were left.
Shintoo spoke to me first.
“I’m glad everything seems to have been resolved.”
······ Is it gentle?
Well, if you put the process aside and look at the results, it was. At least there wasn’t a life-or-death battle.
‘But what’s the purpose?’
Seeing what he had been waiting for, I wondered if there was anything else.
The next thing that came out of the newcomer’s mouth was a random story.
“Remember the giant snake monster you killed 7th Lord in the Luthers Mountains of the Overlord Territory before?”
Belvagora?
I wondered how this dwarf knew about it, so I looked at him with curious eyes.
“You left the body at the mayor, so I took some of those scales and used them. It’s great. I just wanted to say thank you.”
Ah… was it?
I didn’t have anything to say, so I didn’t answer anything.
For him as a blacksmith, scales of monsters like that would have been a good material.
“If you have the necessary equipment, please come to the 1st Monarch Order. Then…”
As if that was all he had to say, the new employee greeted him and left immediately.
I turned my gaze to the last remaining king of the dead.
He, too, was still waiting for all the other monarchs to leave.
“There is one thing I want to ask you.”
said the Demon King.
“The corpse of the authority that was given to you before, it was impossible to resurrect as an undead. The soul was completely annihilated.”
what?
I was astonished at the words.
“The remnants of the soul remain on the body of the dead. Undead magic is basically a magic that starts by capturing and subordinating the soul. However, the corpse of the power that you killed, the 7th lord, did not leave a small remnant and the soul was wiped out. .”
“············”.
Hearing that, I fell in thought.
Because there was something that suddenly came to mind.
‘Does the soul perish?’
It is said that the soul of Kwon-seong, who died instantly, was completely annihilated.
So, was it possible that instant death was the ability to annihilate the soul itself of the target? So, does it work well regardless of the spirit body?
‘No, wait a minute…’
Then, what was the guardian who killed in the dungeon? Do Guardians have souls?
I asked the dead king.

“Fourth lord, do you know about the ancient golem?”
He tilted his head at my sudden question.
“Is the magic of creating golems also related to souls?”
“Um, dummy magic? I don’t know much about it because I’m not interested in it, but that’s what I know.”
“············”.
“It’s a magic that injects the remains of the soul harvested from another object into the doll’s body. Whether it’s already dead or never alive in the first place, to make anything move, not only magic power, but also the remnants of the soul are essential.”
Anyway, it meant that even the magic golem had a soul.
‘Then I think it’s true.’
If the essence of instant killing is the ability to annihilate the target’s soul itself, it fits all the targets that have been killed so far.
It was a new discovery of the principle of ability, but the fact was that knowing it didn’t change anything. I just thought it was like that.
By the way, I haven’t used it on undead yet, but as he said, it will work well for undead regardless.
“So, do you want to argue with him?”
At my question, the King of the Dead laughed and shook his head.
“No, it can’t be. I was just wondering if what you were doing was correct. From the reaction, it seems that’s the case.”
As if curiosity had been resolved, the King of the Dead also turned around.
“Then let me go too. The meeting goes well and see you at the next meeting, Seventh lord.”
I also had one question, so I grabbed him and asked.
“Why did you oppose the execution?”
Now that I look at it, it doesn’t seem like he was doing it to pay off the debt.
The dead king looked back at me and said with a smile.
“It was just a personal decision. If you fight, somehow your threat will come true.”
“············”.
“But I don’t feel bad for him, because I want to build a friendly relationship with you, Seventh Lord.”
I looked at the dead king and said,
“The corpse of the 6th lord will probably be revived as an undead.”
“······Well?”
The tyrant did not kill him instantly, so the remnants of his soul would remain.
At my words, the King of the Dead tilted his head and then smiled again.
“Is it? Thank you. I’ve got a very good ingredient. I’ll have to tell the overlord.”
I looked at the back of the departing King of the Dead, and soon I turned around.
‘Wooing
The execution trial, the duel, I was tired physically and mentally.
I just wanted to go back and rest.
short slack (1)
He returned safely to the monarchy.
Arrived in the middle of the night, but Ashel and Reef were still awake by this time, and they came out from the entrance with the butler to greet me.
“I’m glad you came back safely…”
Ashel said with a look of sincere relief.
It was a very intense reaction for her, so she nodded, thinking that it was surprising.
After all, when I was new, I was rushed to the head coach Heukrin and dragged me away.
Reef, who was next to him, hesitated, then lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. Because of us….”
“Okay.”
In the end, it all happened because of my own choices, so I had no intention of blaming the Reef brothers and sisters. Of course, I had no regrets.
Well, I might have regretted it if I was really in danger of dying, but it all worked out anyway. What matters is the result, isn’t it?
Upon entering the castle, Gulpiro and his face were reflected as to whether he had woken up late.
“I’m glad you returned safely, 7th lord. I thought something really bad was going to happen.”
I told them in moderation that everything worked out without any problems.
Gulpiro seemed to be very curious as to how there was no problem after killing the monarch, but there was no need to explain the process.
After arranging the situation roughly, I went back to my room, threw myself on the bed, and went to sleep.
I woke up late the next morning and thought about eating.
‘I feel like I’ve been relaxed after a long time.’
As the overlord said, it will take about a month to accompany you to the summit in a neutral country.
The issue of the 6th lords was also successfully resolved, so there was nothing to do for the rest of the time.
For my next goal, I had to head to Saintea, but time was vague for that.
After acquiring the mysteries and performing specs, his personal safety and his position as a monarch have been stabilized to some extent.
The primary goal for surviving safely in this world was successfully accomplished.
Of course, his physical ability was still at the level of a normal person, but unless he builds up magic, it’s not something that can be solved anyway.
‘The hero and the heir….’
I munched on my fork, thinking about my next goal.
The full-fledged main story of the game.
The things to do in Saintea in the future were related to the main story and the fate of this world.
I wanted it to be very grand, but it was really grandiose.
Because it was a job to find the next successor to the Holy Sword that would block the resurrection of the Demon King and bring her into contact with the current hero safely.
Of course, this was something I had to do, no matter how much I didn’t want to do it.
‘Or the world will perish, so what can I do to avoid it?’
Once the world is healthy, I can’t live without it.
In any case, that was the story of the big story that actually progressed while playing Rasa. A heavenly axis adventure with the heir of the hero.
Right now, I don’t have a system or a good guideline, so I had to do it all by myself from one to ten.
The problem was that there was a rough context, but there were no concrete plans yet.
‘The road to go is Taesan, really.’
After all, it was a matter of meeting the heir and the hero first, so there was no meaning in worrying right now.
Still, I don’t know what kind of butterfly effect my actions have had until now, so I’ll have to find out as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, I concentrated on the steak in front of me again.
Then, with a sudden thought, I asked the butler who was standing nearby.
“Is the Wyvern that the 1st monarch and his party rode still in the castle?”
He answered.
“No. I went back on my own.”
······ Are you going back on your own?
For a moment, I tilted my head, but I thought there was nothing strange about it.
The Wyvern was a very clever creature to be called a Youngsu.
‘It’s a Wyvern…’
By the way, it would be nice to have something like a Wyvern.
Seeing some of the monarchs riding, I suddenly felt the need. You will be able to move around quickly.
Now that I’ve got mysteries, I don’t have to worry about falling off and dying while riding.
The Wyvern was almost the only means of flight in this world, and it could be said that it was the fastest means of transportation.
A sub-dragon that is strong, agile, and clever enough to be incomparable with other ordinary monsters.
However, they are very rare, and it is almost impossible to catch or breed them, and due to their unique ‘demanding characteristics’, very few people actually ride them.
If I wanted to save the Wyverns, I would have to go to their habitats myself…
‘I’ll have to think about it after I go to the meeting first.’
Likewise, because time was vague, there was no time to move.
moon crack.
After eating, I got up.
Anyway, for the rest of the time, I was thinking of sitting down in the castle and resting.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a hard time moving around.
***
Even if I took a break, my life didn’t change much. I just live a little more relaxed than usual.
I spent time reading books, chatting with Gulfiro, and checking Rygon’s condition from time to time.
“You said you didn’t want to stay in the castle.”
“That’s right. A large, crowded space like this doesn’t really suit me. I’ll leave as soon as Lee Gon fully recovers.”
I whispered to Gulfiro.
“Aren’t you planning on having something like a disciple?”
He blinked as if he was saying something out of the ordinary.
“Disciple, I’ve never really thought about it. But why all of a sudden…?”
“It’s not a big deal, there’s a talented young alchemist among the alchemists I know.”
Fortunately, Gulpiro seemed to be interested.
“Who? Are you an alchemist in this city?”
I nodded.
“I am the owner of a workshop called Alkimas in this city. I hope you can visit it whenever you feel like it.”
“Um… well, I understand. I’m a little curious when the 7th lord says that.”
So I told Gulfiro about Scarlet.
Hopefully, the relationship between the two of them will develop into a priestly relationship if at all possible.
Once, while walking around the castle alone, I encountered an unexpected sight.
In the corner of the outdoor gymnasium, some soldiers were gathering and playing chess. Stack a few fairy tales on one side.
“········Huh? Huh!”
The soldiers who saw me got up and saluted.
I gestured to them and looked down at the chessboard. Not knights, soldiers play all chess.
“Don’t worry about it, just let it go.”
“Yes? Yes, old!”
When I tried to watch Doona, the soldiers shook their hands and could not move their horses properly. It was like life was at stake, not money.
Eventually I let them go and returned to the castle.
‘Chesra…’
Well, in this world, when it comes to board games, chess is probably the best.
Out of curiosity, I had the butler prepare the chessboard and the horses.
Actually, I thought I could play chess quite well.
