106 – The Trial of Nothingness – 37
“Ha..Ha..”
“Is this enough?”
“Hmm… isn’t it okay for once?”
“You said you should see Veronica soon.”
“Tsk… I can’t help it.”
Steamed-
“Then let me change my clothes first. Classes are held downstairs, so if you wish, His Majesty is welcome to take a tour of the laboratory.”
Ezebet walked to the stairs leading to the lower floor, roughly wrapped in the robe of the mage tower scattered on the floor.
But wait… Are you going to go with only a robe wrapped around her bare body now?
“…Are you going to go that way?”
“Why is that? Are you thinking of doing it one more time?”
“No… The teacher who is going to meet the student is asking if it is okay to go dressed like that.”
“It’s okay. And this side is about 5.7 Times more exciting.”
“Ah..Is that so?”
Erzebeth smiled lightly and lifted her white shirt, which was rolling on the ground, into the air and sent it flying towards me.
Not long after she took it off, I took her white shirt, which smelled like roses, and asked Erzebet with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you giving me this all of a sudden?”
“Enjoy it while coming back from class…”
“……”
Does that b*tch think I’m a pervert like her?
“But while coming from class… by any chance…”
“You don’t think you think the settlement is over with this once, do you?”
Not this year? Why do you want so many things?
“Since we have about 8 hours of free time after class, shouldn’t we enjoy dinner to our heart’s content?”
“I have work, so I have to go.”
“I usually finish my work before visiting the lab, and I lie…”
Yes. In fact, I’m of the mindset to finish troublesome things quickly, so whenever I come to see Elizabeth separately, I always take care of all the work for the day.
I’m not sure how Elizabeth knew that, but what’s certain is that this kind of lie will rather stimulate her.
“Hmm…I felt a bit offended.”
“hehehe!”
“I’ll be back in two hours, so prepare yourself then.”
With those words, Elizabeth turned her back and went downstairs. No matter how big the magic tower’s robe is, if you make a small mistake, you’ll be able to see your bare skin.
“Two hours…”
If it was the same as before, I would have just returned to the palace, but it would be difficult to handle the aftermath of the aftermath if I left the upset Elizabeth alone.
Besides…
“Anyway, I don’t have anything bad…”
Sometimes it’s hard to handle her Erzebet’s s*xual desire, but basically, it’s true that sleeping with her is very pleasant.
At the time of her first relationship, Erzebet was her virgin, but after she repeated this action three or four times, she became skilled and crushed me. In an ambiguous sense, of course.
“Then… shall we look around the lab?”
Come to think of it, I had never toured Elizabeth’s lab before. She had seen it with her eyes, but had never been inside the laboratory where she did her work.
‘I’ll have to take a look.’
It can be seen as one of the virtues of a monarch to take care of the work environment of his followers. And since Elizabeth personally gave permission, well… There shouldn’t be a problem
“Let’s see…”
First of all, since I had already seen the entrance to the lab dozens of times, I lightly ignored it and approached a door I had never entered before.
Ezebet would always come out of this door to greet me whenever I visited the lab. That would mean that this is the core room of the lab…
‘No one has ever been in this place except Elizabeth?’
Since I’m about to go in now, it would be more accurate to say that no one but me and Elizabeth have ever been inside.
Kikki-
‘…Why is it opening so lightly? To make you anxious.’
Dozens of doors that were thought to have been treated with magic opened easily and unexpectedly without any problems. Considering her usual personality, I thought she would have at least 5 of her defense magic put in…
“…You’re surprisingly ordinary.”
The inside of the door was not very different from the beginning of the lab. It was a very perfect magic lab, with magic research reagents, flask bottles, and a unique bitter scent.
Honestly, it was the laboratory of Elizabeth, who has a lot of eccentric tastes, so I thought there would be something amazing. But it must have been a simple prejudice.
“Is this…An ancient document obtained from the ruins the other day?”
“Ohhh…Is this a Fire attribute Divinity Spellbook?”
“Space-time theory….. This is a very clichéd book…”
Still, as expected from the Mage Tower master’s lab, there were magic books scattered all over the place that would be difficult for ordinary wizards to even look at in their lifetime.
Especially the space-time theory book, I think I left it there to find the theory of dimension shifting I asked for…
“I can’t do this with this book…”
Actually, I have read this space-time theory book once.
But I gave up on reading it halfway through because it contained only filthy clichés.
‘I’ll have to give a separate word to Elizabeth.’
There is no need for this book to find the theory of dimension shifting. This space-time theory book is such a garbage-like book that looks plausible on the outside but is empty on the inside.
“Hmm…This is a book about spiritual creatures…Ugh? This book was with Elizabeth.”
As I kept looking around the books, I came across books about spirit objects and old books that I thought had disappeared hundreds of years ago.
I’ll let you know if I keep these valuable materials… It’s just like Elizabeth, the Mage Tower of Greed.
“…?”
As I was sneaking around the lab like that, I felt something out of place on the wall in the corner of the lab.
“What is it?”
As I approached the wall I felt uncomfortable with and examined it carefully, I noticed that this wall was more bumpy than the others.
There’s no way that Elizabeth, who has a tendency to be a perfectionist, would have left a place like this… Is there something?
Chubby…
Busssss…
“…Isn’t there a space inside?”
As I tapped the wall, crumbs fell with a light sound.
There seems to be a space behind this wall… Is it a secret space created by Elizabeth?
“Grunt.”
Kung-!
As the ruler of Elizabeth, I can’t just leave this space alone. It is a random check.
“…Dark… And gloomy.”
I kicked the wall lightly and entered inside, frowning as I inspected the lightless aisle.
‘What is this place?’
This aisle smells like some conspiracy.
‘Is Elizabeth hiding something from me?’
It can’t be, it doesn’t make sense that the 11th throne, the king’s direct servants, are hiding something from me. Of course, minor matters are not necessarily reported, but even slightly important matters must be reported within three days.
Sniff sniff…
“…Is this… The smell of blood?”
At that time, a fishy smell of blood came from inside the aisle.
Looking at the scent of blood, there seems to be something inside this passageway…
‘What were you hiding, Elizabeth?’
I realized that the situation was not serious, so I quickly squeezed into the aisle and started walking towards the place where I could feel the scent of blood.
‘Over there..!’
I immediately noticed a room far away from which the light was leaking.
This is the room. A thick smell of blood wafted from that room.
‘There are no people inside…’
After realizing that no one was in the room, I immediately kicked the door open and went inside.
Then an unbelievable sight unfolded before my eyes.
“This…Is this…?”
[Veronica Bloodia 125121]
[Mars 125317]
From noble mtl dot com
[Solomon 117113]
[Bathory Erzebet 091251]
…..
A huge number of blood flasks.
Even if you roughly count it, it is a huge amount that seems to exceed tens of thousands.
In the blood flask, it was written who the owner of this blood was, and from Veronica to Elizabeth herself, and even the blood of the 11 thrones, all of them were placed here.
“Huh… I didn’t expect this…”
But the fortunate thing is that unlike my worries, it wasn’t a big deal (?) Than I thought.
To be honest, as soon as I smelled the blood, I thought that Elizabeth had made a big mistake, but didn’t she just collect blood? This level is a level that can be finished with a light punishment.
But…
“How did you get all the blood?”
Obtaining a flask containing the blood of all 11 thrones, this will boast a higher level of difficulty than taking Yeouiju from the Dragon King.
But you said Elizabeth got it alone? No matter how much she ranks among the 11 seats, even if she is one of the top fighters, she would never be able to do it…
“What the hell…”
The moment I fell into deep thought, I noticed that there was a table about 10 meters away.
There were numerous documents on the table, and it seemed that Elizabeth had conducted some kind of research with these blood.
“…..Subordination magic using blood magic? What’s this.”
I picked one of the documents and looked at its title, and I could see that there was a terrifying text written on it: ‘Subordinate magic using blood magic’.
‘It’s illegal…’
Unauthorized research on magic, and even the ominous magic called subordinate magic…
This is not something that will end with light punishment. If it was just a collection of blood flasks, it could have been dismissed as a mere ‘hobby’, but with such clear evidence, you can’t leave out.
“…The probation… Is too weak, and it would be appropriate if he was imprisoned in the prison labyrinth for about a year.”
It is true that Elizabeth is helping me a lot, but before that, I am the king of this country. Even the owner of the Magic Tower could not turn a blind eye to this.
Reincarnation magic research will put a brake on it, but wrong is wrong, and punishment is punishment. As the king of this country, I have a duty to set justice right.
“Otherwise… it might not be a bad idea to spend a year stuck in a lab without any conditions…”
While I was contemplating what to do with Elizabeth, I was able to find a very interesting part of the ‘subordinate magic using blood magic’ document in my hand.
“…..Activation of subordination magic through blood intake..? Huh, it’s very impure magic.”
Assuming that the theory written in this document is correct, a wizard who can use blood magic can use his own blood to cast subordinate magic on others.
Of course, there was a downside that it had to be ‘ingested’, but even taking that into consideration, it is true that it is a very dangerous theory.
“Retirement confirmed.”
Furray…!
After burning all the papers without a moment’s thought, I looked around the room filled with blood flasks with a cold expression.
In my heart, I wanted to destroy all of these blood bottles, but I decided to endure it because I needed separate evidence.
-Ezebet.
-…Your Majesty? What suddenly…
-Come here right away.
-Come here… Where are you talking about?
-Blood magic. Can you tell me just this much?
-…Oh… You’ve seen it.
When I telepathically gave the command to summon Erzebeth, she added, contrary to my expectations, in a very calm tone, ‘Let’s do it.’
As if it wasn’t a big deal for me to find out about this place…
-Then…Veronica will go with you.
-…Unfortunate…
-If I suddenly leave, I’m sure he’ll be suspicious.
-…..
-Then I’ll definitely go upstairs…If I see my clothes and His Majesty’s white liquid all over the ground…
-Okay, come clean up properly. Especially that… You know?
– I will serve you.
I didn’t know then.
That this was all her plan.

“Veronica.”
“Yes.”
“Will you follow me for a minute?”
“..? What happened?”
“I have a simple business…And…”
Chalrang…
“Would you like to try this?”
“…Blood..?”
