Episode 72

The queen, who had a larger body than the other houses, had already shrunk to the size of an ordinary person when I visited.

If the dracolich hadn’t been the type to fly around and look around carefully, I probably would have wandered around for a long time wondering why the queen had disappeared.

“……You’ve gotten so small that I didn’t even realize it.”

“Thanks to you.”

Swish.

As I dismounted from the dracolich, the queen smiled and waved at me.

“Have you finished all the work?”

“Thanks to you for taking care of this place.”

When I showed her the hand of the King of Wisdom, she stared at it with a look of interest.

“I feel a mysterious power… Certainly, I can understand something like this.”

Leaving the Queen, who was nodding her head knowingly, behind for a moment, I looked around and saw the completely destroyed bone fortress.

Naturally, none of them survived, and the warlocks who seemed to have followed them were also all dead.

All there was was the Queen, me, and Kelvin standing nervously behind the Queen, along with the Vigilantes… no, the guards, as they should be called now.

“They were tough guys. When they were outgunned, they even tried to use my husband’s corpse as a shield.”

She must have noticed me looking around, because she told me what had happened at the time.

“……Are you okay?”

Her husband must have been a special person to her, so much so that she could tell even when she was half-mad.

Could it be that she went mad once more at the fact that her husband’s body was abused like this?

She chuckled and let out a hollow laugh, making that thought seem meaningless.

“You look so blunt, you must be a worrier. I already know that my husband won’t come back.”

Her eyes briefly showed a hint of sadness, but soon a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth again.

“Isn’t it time to focus on what remains rather than what has passed?”

Whoosh, she turned around and all the guards knelt down towards her.

The queen nodded at that sight and looked at me again.

“Of course, this is all possible because you brought me back to my senses, so I thank you.”

Bow.

As she nodded slightly at me, the guards behind me began to murmur in confusion.

“I almost lost everything I had to strange people, and on top of that, I almost couldn’t even protect what was left of me… I’m really grateful that you gave me another chance.”

Tears flowed from her eyes as she looked at me.

Of course, she immediately wiped her tears with her fingers as if it was ugly.

[Completed the 17th floor quest.]

[Check the player’s achievements and receive additional rewards.]

Only then, at the translucent window that appeared before me, was I able to nod in satisfaction.

“……I would like to give you something, but as you know, I have just come out of my madness and I don’t have anything to give you.”

The Queen said it as if she was sorry, but she had no intention of asking anyway.

What I wanted from her was something a little different.

“Then I have a favor to ask.”

“ask?”

The queen’s eyes widened as if she had not expected me to make a suggestion, but soon she nodded and said.

“……If there’s anything I can do, I’ll listen to it as much as I can. So, tell me once.”

“Do you know who those guys were who tried to brainwash you by resurrecting your husband a little while ago?”

Swish.

She muttered softly as she looked at the piles of corpses lying behind him.

“The fortress of bones… that’s what I heard one of them say.”

“Those guys will come back here again.”

Just a moment ago, the guy I killed in the castle basement spoke with his own mouth.

The main force of the Bone Fortress will come towards me.

And where I am now is not in the tower, but right here, on the 17th floor.

So, this was where the guys’ main force would come to.

“Those guys… again?”

Brrrr.

The Queen’s eyes were twitching visibly.

Not only that, her mouth was clenched shut, desperately holding back the grinding of her teeth, and her hands, half-hidden by her dress, were clenched into fists.

“If they try to catch me, can you protect me?”

This time I surprised them and they had little information about me, so I won, but not anymore.

Since that dying bastard spilled information about me, they’ll send in a force that can definitely catch me.

If that happens, I won’t have the means to deal with them as I am now.

“……The last thing my husband said to me was not to tell me not to fight at all.”

However, unlike me, who at least tried to fight, the Queen did not even think of picking a fight, perhaps because she thought it was worth a try.

What that means is that the Queen’s power far surpasses mine.

“It was a request that everyone in this kingdom not fight, that those I should embrace not fight each other or that I not try to fight.”

And her strength, I could also see in quite some detail as I searched her body thoroughly with the black flame.

At least, it was the strongest I’ve ever seen among the people in the tower, excluding the stars, dragons, and administrators.

“But how dare you, you outsiders who are not even members of the kingdom!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Her hair waved like flames.

“Your Majesty! Calm down!”

When the guards were startled by the sight and shouted, only then did the queen slowly calm down and look at me.

“……You are my guard and my person, who have performed the royal guard ceremony, even if it is only briefly.”

Swish.

She came up to me and squeezed my hand tightly.

At the same time, I slowly pulled my hand out because of the hard feeling on my palm, and a small ring had formed in my palm.

“Of course I know you are a foreigner, and I do not force or expect you to swear allegiance to me sincerely.”

Inside the ring, a faint, yet very meticulously woven magic could be felt.

“I just want you to remain my person.”

It was a kind of communication magic.

As long as I wear this, information about me will be passed on to her.

“And I promise.”

Sigh.

She raised her head and looked into space.

She spoke with a fierce anger, as if there were a fortress of bones there.

“As you asked, if they threaten you or try to kill you – I, in the name of Seon, will stop them.”

At the Queen’s words, the guards who had been quietly standing at the back up until now also immediately shouted loudly.

“The Queen’s will is the will of the guards!”

“We will stop them too!”

It would be rude to worry when I tell you this.

As I nodded to her words, she spoke as if she had sensed something.

“……Are you planning to leave?”

“Not right now, though.”

Bella has already achieved everything she wanted from me, and in some ways, she has achieved even more.

But that doesn’t mean we can continue like this, as there is still a lot we can do here.

“Kelvin, are you there?”

“Uh, yeah?! Oh, yeah!”

When Kelvin, who had belatedly responded to my call, approached me, I asked him.

“I wish you could tell me where the Bone Fortress guys originally lived or were active.”

Since their plan had failed so suddenly, it was clear that there would be a lot of information they had not been able to hide back where they were originally.

If you take those to Bella too, wouldn’t it be quite helpful in planning?

“Why is that…… Ah.”

Kelvin, who had belatedly realized my purpose and made that sound, soon turned around and started walking as if he would guide me.

Until the queen caught his eye.

“……Sorry, I know that, but I don’t think I can guide you that far.”

“Come to think of it, you were a guard too.”

To these guys, the queen is more precious than their own lives.

If it had been before the Queen had gone mad, I wouldn’t have been able to separate from her once she regained her sanity.

“It doesn’t matter.”

As I was about to head there with my undeads, not that I didn’t understand, the queen called out to me.

“Wait, is it really necessary to walk there?”

“hmm?”

The queen, who was flustered by the sudden call, quickly started talking to Kelvin and soon started muttering and reciting a chant.

Wheeing!

At the same time, a small gate opens into the air.

Beyond the gate, which was narrow but large enough for one person to pass through without any problem, a building was visible.

“I think that building is the one you want.”

“……You don’t have to go this far.”

As my undead tried to cross the narrow passage with their inventory, the dracolich muttered something in a slightly muffled voice.

[This… … I can do this much with just a little bit of practice… … .]

[Arthur, even if I did that, would this stone-headed guy understand?]

Before even the spider could even begin to speak, I had already crossed over the gate.

“……Anyway, thank you.”

“Have a nice trip.”

The gate closed, leaving the Queen waving her hand behind.

And what remained before me was a building that exuded a similar aura to that which had been emanating from the castle’s basement.

‘Then let’s see what there is.’

I opened the door and went in, but there wasn’t much that threatened me.

At best, the slightly messy room, the scattered scraps of paper, and the slight afterglow of the remaining fraud were all that stirred me.

With such a view spread out across the entire building, it would take a considerable amount of time to search through it all.

‘Dracolich, spider.’

Of course, if I were alone.

[Did you call, Father!?]

[Fuck, you should do this yourself!]

I had the two of them look at the pieces of paper, with very contrasting reactions.

Of course, it wasn’t like I was any different.

“……Neither this nor this.”

Although the information written on each piece of paper was new, most of it was things I already knew.

Of course, it seemed like it would take quite a while to find some interesting information in it.

‘Spider, with your abilities, you can’t search for these all at once?’

[I’ve said it many times, but Ma-an is not omnipotent, you idiot!]

Thanks to the spider’s ability to open so many eyes and read so many documents simultaneously, the work was done much faster than expected, and thanks to that, I was able to obtain some useful information.

‘Were the Warlock guys hired by the Bone Fortress guys from the beginning?’

[Father, this document seems to contain instructions on how to handle the Hand of the King of Cognition.]

I was just gathering a few small but useful pieces of information and wondering if there was anything else I could use.

[… … Sorcerer, I think I should take a look this way.]

A spider speaking in a rather serious voice.

As I turned my gaze straight there, what was written there caught my eye.

‘This is… … .’

And the contents inside were quite shocking.

‘I wondered why the Bone Fortress guys were fighting the Tower… … but they joined hands with the Rankers.’

Of course, I didn’t understand the entire content, but this was enough.

“For now, let’s go back to Bella.”

I immediately manipulated the system and walked towards the open gate.

I had to tell Bella this as soon as possible.

***

azure.

Queen Seon, who had been waiting endlessly as if waiting for the sun to set, looked up at her fingers, feeling the sensation on them.

‘… …Did he leave?’

The ring she had given to Morse was different from the rings she usually gave to her guards.

The ring originally given to the guards was an item that only conveyed a biological response such as whether she was dead or alive.

But what she gave him was an incredibly elaborate item that would transmit the wearer’s biological responses even if they were in another dimension.

Of course, since communication across dimensions isn’t easy, all I knew was whether they were alive or dead…

‘That will do.’

The Queen once again recalled what she had said to Morse a moment ago.

-As you asked, if they threaten or try to kill you- I, in the name of Seon, will stop them.

At first glance, it might seem like it was just a promise to ensure safety, but the Queen had a different idea.

‘For me, and for the one who protected this kingdom, protection while I am here is not enough.’

It was such a small request that the queen’s own pride could not allow it.

Moreover, as she sits in the position of queen, it is necessary that her rewards and punishments be clear.

So the hidden meaning behind her words was this.

‘Wherever you are, if they threaten you or try to kill you, I swear on my name that I will stop them to the best of my ability.’

If one day this kingdom returns to normal, and his magic rises to a higher level.

That was the moment she decided to go help him.

Quasi-snap.

She muttered at the sound of something being torn.

“……You’re here.”

Crunch, crunch, bang!

Countless people poured out of the hole in the air, as if a mirror had been shattered.

They were all emitting fraud, and they seemed to be much more powerful than the players who had been there until then.

“So, that guy is here?”

“I said Morse, that bastard!”

But that only seemed to be the case relatively.

In front of the Queen, there was no difference between those who had come before and those who had come now.

“How dare you.”

Far away, magical power burst out from the Queen’s hand.

The queen shouted as they were bewildered by the thick mana that was enough to instantly push away their morale.

“Whose land are you trying to step on, you filthy bastards-!”

Boom!

In that way, the reinforcements sent from the Bone Fortress were annihilated in the blink of an eye.
