Episode 63

“First, I need to hear what you vigilantes are doing.”

Even if I had thought of a way to use it against that queen, it would be annoying in many ways if it clashed with these guys.

It didn’t matter that there were more people to fight, but I didn’t really want to have unnecessary conflicts, so it would be better to first coordinate so that we don’t bump into each other.

“Well… it’s not that grand, but mostly my duty is to manage the overall kingdom on behalf of the Queen.”

“Like you did a little while ago?”

When I mentioned that I had gone out to inform the Queen of my arrival, he nodded.

“That’s right, of course, that’s not all… Most of the time, it’s about making sure taxes are being collected properly, and if the Queen is about to punish someone, we block them. The rest changes from time to time as we receive contact from our superiors.”

I could understand everything else, but what caught my attention was that they were trying to stop the Queen.

At first glance, it looked like it had a huge body, but if you poked it with a spear, it would only be like a toothpick to her.

“I told you, communication is possible between us and the Queen.”

Kelvin chuckled and tapped my shoulder with the window, saying it was nothing.

“Rather than getting your hands dirty, ask the Queen to take charge and pass the punishment on to us. Most of the time, the Queen will listen to that.”

“I mean, just for the most part.”

Are there cases where that isn’t the case?

At my words, Kelvin dropped the end of the spear handle to the floor with a thud.

“I don’t know about anything else, but the Queen, who has seen the sight of a fight in person, can’t even stop us. We tried it once in the past, and a third of our vigilantes died at the Queen’s hands.”

He shook his head, shaking his head, and it seemed as if he had given up.

It’s a look that makes you wonder what you can do in the face of a natural disaster.

“So, my dear, I beg you not to fight here. Your life is important, but if the Queen gets angry, this place will be completely devastated.”

“Don’t worry. That won’t happen.”

Of course it was a lie.

Since the original purpose of coming here was to fight those bone fortress guys rather than the quest, it was a situation where I couldn’t help but fight.

Even so, the spider muttered in disbelief, wondering how much it was annoyed by me lying without even a drop of saliva on my lips.

[… … Even if I’m not human, I think I at least have more of a conscience than you.]

‘Shut up, spider.’

[Sometimes a white lie is necessary. I trust my father.]

Leaving Dracolich’s words behind, I asked Kelvin again.

“Then you guys never tried to bring that queen back?”

Since they are the only ones who can communicate with the Queen, there’s no way they wouldn’t have tried something.

Or maybe… … .

“I’ve tried many times.”

At Kelvin’s words, who was fiddling with his moustache, I was relieved that at least these vigilantes weren’t a rotten bunch.

It’s true that I wanted to avoid clashing with the guys who lived here as much as possible.

“I tried to communicate through conversation first, but the Queen wouldn’t listen because we were just the Queen’s spear and shield. Thinking back now, it’s a miracle that the person who said that came back alive.”

He was giggling, but given the circumstances, I couldn’t laugh.

“……Then I tried to show the Queen that the fighting in the kingdom had disappeared somehow and reassure her, but I guess I can’t keep on acting forever. That also ended in failure.”

Besides that, he listed a great many other methods.

Attempt to change the spell placed on the Queen, or to get her a new groom… … .

Many different methods have been tried, but none have shown any significant results.

“At that moment, foreigners like you came in and now some more unique attempts are being made.”

“……A different attempt?”

At the mention of a stranger like me, I listened intently to see if there might be any Bone Fortress guys there.

As expected, the first thing that came to mind when I heard Kelvin’s words was them.

“The hottest topic these days is reviving the dead queen’s husband to persuade the queen.”

“Oh.”

That’s right.

Those are the guys.

“I also found it quite funny when I first heard about it… but surprisingly, they showed great achievements. Thanks to them, I now have hope that the Queen may return.”

The more I listened, the more certain it became.

It is natural to revive a long-dead corpse, but it is a difficult task that is difficult for one or two necromancers to even attempt.

Not only was the corpse’s decay and the body not restored, but even the traces of the soul that had once resided in the body that had died were almost completely gone.

So, in reality, it takes as much work and effort to accomplish that as it would take to find and reattach pieces of torn bills that have been blown away by the wind.

But the guys were really trying to do it.

And perhaps what makes this possible is none other than the treasure they possess: the Hand of the King of Cognition.

Although it strengthens the individual, its real power lies in increasing the mental power of those around it.

If we could increase the mental power of dozens or hundreds of necromancers even just a little bit, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to unite and resurrect that corpse.

“Of course, we do not believe that alone, for there are those who say it will fail, and among you, there are those who wish to restore the Queen’s sanity or touch her magic again.”

“Is that so?”

As I listened to Kelvin’s words dryly, I began to draw a blueprint in my head for what to do next.

Well, actually, what I was trying to do wasn’t all that different from what the Bone Fortress guys were doing.

However, my side has the power to solve more fundamental problems.

‘Black salt.’

The natural enemy of mana-eating wizards.

It was a power so ferocious that it could not be considered a weapon used by great magicians, but it could be applied in any way depending on how it was handled.

For example, removing only the husband’s will engraved in magic, which is the standard and principle by which the queen moves.

Of course, the process would not be easy, but at least it was not impossible.

‘If only I could bring my husband back to life, even for a little while.’

No, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be completely revived.

If she were to take her gaze away from that husband for even a moment, I could infiltrate her with black flames.

‘Now we can produce that much firepower.’

As I progressed through the Lichization process, the level of the Dracolich connected to me increased significantly, and the knowledge of the stars explosively amplified my morale.

Naturally, the amplification of the fraud to that extent meant that the output that Black Flame could produce also increased, which meant that precise adjustments were also possible.

And if you can just lift the spell on the Queen, the quest will be completed.

Then, from then on, all that was left to do was to draw out more aggro from the Bone Fortress guys.

‘Bella seemed to think it was fortunate that I could just do it, though.’

If you’re going to attract attention, you have to do it clearly so she can feel safe and get information.

Who knows? She might ask you for more advanced information than just the information you were originally aiming for.

“……Are you listening to me?”

Knock knock.

When Kelvin’s spear touched me, I pretended like nothing happened.

“Yeah, I was listening to everything.”

“I… Anyway, what are we going to do?”

Kelvin said as he glanced outside.

“I hate to say this, but our vigilante group is really short on personnel. I think it would be great if you could join us.”

I guess the whole explanation you gave me about this world just a moment ago was to draw me into the vigilante group.

Of course, I was going to refuse since I didn’t necessarily want to belong to any group, but then something crossed my mind.

“……If you join the vigilante group, will you be able to communicate with the Queen?”

“Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

It was really nothing special.

It’s just a story of possibility, but if it works, it’ll make you laugh.

“I have something to say to the Queen.”

“I don’t know what you’re trying to say… but anyway, it’s possible, it’s just not possible right now.”

Kelvin scratches his moustache as if he is embarrassed.

There seemed to be a nuance of embarrassment in his expression.

“Impossible? Did something happen?”

“Let me ask you this first. Are you planning on joining the vigilantes?”

“If only I could communicate with the Queen.”

Let’s say that, Kelvin laughed, though he let out a hollow laugh.

“You’re being honest.”

“Isn’t it better than making things up and telling a story?”

“Well, that’s good. If you don’t like the vigilantes, you can at least give them an honorary guard position. Of course, if that’s possible.”

Kelvin, who was clearly a low-ranking soldier, kept talking about an honorary guard position, and seeing him continue to speak as if it was impossible made me feel frustrated.

“At least tell me why it’s impossible. Why do you keep your mouth shut in frustration?”

“If I go into detail, it’s complicated… but if you just look at the reason, it’s simple.”

chuck.

As Kelvin pointed out the window with the tip of his spear, my gaze automatically turned there.

The castle towering in the distance was sparkling in the sunlight at the end of my gaze.

“We may be called vigilantes, but we are actually the Queen’s knights. As such, if we don’t hold a formal ceremony at the castle, we won’t be able to hear the Queen’s voice.”

“Isn’t it okay to do it here?”

Kelvin nods.

“I’ve tried holding a simple royal inauguration ceremony, and I’ve also tried holding a grand ceremony where the Queen is not present, but it was all in vain. If the royal inauguration ceremony is held in the castle, then it doesn’t matter even if it’s a foreigner.”

“Then shouldn’t we just go to the castle right now?”

“That’s exactly the problem.”

Kelvin frowned and pointed the tip of his spear somewhere outside the window again.

Among the neatly built buildings, one odd building stood out.

“Most of you foreigners tried to help us, but some did not.”

Even though we were far apart, I could feel it.

There was definitely a sense of fraud in that building.

“Some of them wanted to steal the magic that had made our Queen immortal and make it their own, and they thought the answer lay in the Queen’s castle, so they took over without permission.”

“……Black Magician.”

Those who use magic, but instead use fraud instead of mana.

It would make sense for those guys.

In the first place, anyone who studies the twisted field of black magic is absolutely not in their right mind.

“Aren’t you planning on driving them out?”

“We would like to do the same, but… their power is just too strong.”

Kelvin sighs.

I decided to sneak a hand out to him.

“I think I can help you.”

“……I appreciate your words. Arthur, they are not opponents to be taken lightly…….”

suddenly.

As I opened my inventory next to him and took out the head of a dracolich, Kelvin screamed in surprise.

“Whaaaaaaaah!?!”

A mess.

There was a brief incident where people were startled by the sound of the fall and ran over to warn the person.

Of course, all the while, he just looked at Dracolich with a surprised look on his face.

“This… This isn’t a dragon?”

“To be exact, it is a Dracolich.”

The dracolich muttered in embarrassment towards him, who was trembling excessively.

[… … I understand, but I still feel a little disappointed.]

Of course, whether that’s true or not, I’m sure what I wanted to say was conveyed to him.

“So, what do you think?”

Sigh.

I just held out my hand.

“Should we go to that castle again?”
