Episode 73

When I returned to the tower, it was not Bella but Jaren who greeted me.

And he was sitting quietly at the table in Bella’s house, in a natural posture, as if he had known I would come.

[Oh, you’re here?]

“What are you doing here?”

As I pulled out the chair and sat down at the table, Jeren looked at me, flapping his wings and flying away.

[Originally, I would have given you the reward as soon as the quest was completed, but as you know, things are a bit complicated now.]

“What is that…… Ah.”

Sigh.

When I held out the scrap of paper I had taken from their hideout, Jeren nodded as if to confirm it.

[Honestly, we were also hesitant, but now that it’s come to this, it’s clear that the powers of the top and some of the rankers have joined hands.]

“Where have you been spying on me?”

If it were true, it would have been slightly unpleasant, but fortunately, Jeren grimaced and denied it.

[What are you talking about? We also found out that from the information we worked hard to dig up. I think you figured it out too, somehow… … Anyway, I’m glad I don’t have to say anything else.]

Haa, Jeren muttered, sighing as if he was annoyed.

[The rankers behind the fortress of bones may have done something wrong on the floor, so the high-ranking administrators discussed it and decided not to give out rewards on the floor where those guys are. If you want to receive your reward, I will appear before you when you return to the tower.]

“Is that so?”

[It’s annoying, but… … considering the power of the rankers, it’s only natural, so I hope you’ll cooperate as much as possible.]

Ranker.

Those guys who almost climbed to the very top of the tower.

How strong is that power that even this guy, the manager, can’t ignore it?

“Are the rankers that strong?”

[Well… … If they were simply strong, we wouldn’t be so wary of them. Anyway.]

As Jeren changed the subject as if he was annoyed, he waved his hand, and soon a translucent window appeared in front of me.

[10,000,000 points have been awarded.]

As I was looking at Jeren for a fairly large sum of money, Jeren spoke in a tone that seemed to indicate that he was embarrassed.

[In fact, even if we tried to give you strength now, the value of the reward would be reduced since you can already increase your strength on your own.]

Jeren’s words were reasonable, as fraud could be turned into knowledge of the stars, and mental power could be sublimated.

[But if we give you strength based on that falling value, it won’t be balanced with other people.]

“So that’s why you gave me points?”

[Isn’t it fair? It has the same value to everyone, and it has its own rarity.]

Even so, to me, who had never used points that much before, it was like grasping at straws.

Whether he knew about my situation or not, Jeren left a short message as if saying goodbye and disappeared beyond the gate.

[Anyway, I told you everything! I don’t want you to say anything else later!]

Shash!

After Jeren disappeared, silence fell over the house.

Bella, who I thought would be waiting for me, hadn’t come yet, perhaps because she was still in the process of infiltrating, and it wasn’t like I could do anything inside either.

‘… … I guess I should go out.’

Eventually I got up from my chair.

Not only was there nothing to do, but since I had received points from Jeren, I had to think about how to use them.

‘Do you guys need anything?’

[What? Are you talking about me?]

[Father! Where are you going?]

First, I asked the two most powerful of my undead if there was anything they were lacking, with the intention of resolving it, but they responded very differently.

[No need.]

[I, I want to see and judge with my own eyes!]

As he said that, Dracolich suddenly opened his inventory and came out.

“……No matter how many different races there are there, if you go there in your current state, you won’t attract attention.”

[Well, how about this?]

Sarak.

Seeing the Dracolich struggling to polymorph back into human form, I had no choice but to accept.

“Don’t do anything conspicuous.”

[I’ll keep that in mind, Father!]

Before going out like that, I scribbled on a piece of paper nearby, placed it on the table, and walked out.

So that if Bella ever comes back, she’ll know that I’m already back.

-Come back today, wait for me.

After leaving that note and going outside, the dracolich began to continue chattering next to me as if its mouth had been blocked.

[Father, Father! I have never seen so many plants blooming before!]

[The sky is so bright, so why is it so dark over there?]

[Why are you all walking around with something on your feet?]

It continued until they reached the safe zone where people were gathered, and the dracolich’s eyes were shining in all directions.

[Ohhhhh… … .]

Of course, whether that was true or not, I was lost in thought.

‘As the Dracolich grows, the burden on morale and mental power will increase, but… … I can handle it. The problem is whether my morale will be enough to create new undead… … .’

As I had to fight more powerful enemies in the future, my undead also needed to become stronger.

Finally, he has obtained the Hand of the King of Cognition, a treasure of infinite excellence in terms of the spirit, so he has no problem dealing with the undead, but the problem is the fraud.

‘Even if it means consuming all of the morale at once, there’s a need to create an undead that only puts a strain on mental power… … Hmm.’

Having resurrected countless undead, I had a wealth of knowledge about them in my head.

But among them, only a very small number pass my standards.

‘First of all, it must have an ego like a spider or a dracolich. It’s just strong, but if I have to control it, it’ll cost more.’

Moreover, many of those people are likely to be driven by instinct rather than reason.

Those guys were more likely to move first based on their instincts, even if I gave them the order.

‘It’s not time to deal with them yet.’

I glanced at the Dracolich.

The dracolich, which had been looking around just a moment ago, immediately turned its gaze towards me as if it sensed my gaze.

[Why are you doing this, Father?]

“……It’s nothing.”

If I were to tell it to die, the dracolich would cut off its head and offer it to me without hesitation.

Of course, that will probably never happen, but it shows that Dracolich places my orders as the top priority.

It would be nice if there was a guy with this level of rationality, but unfortunately, such guys are not common.

‘In the first place, this Dracolich guy follows me to an unusual degree.’

In the spider’s case, he was aware from the beginning that he was a hostage, and he followed me because I usually met all of his demands.

If he were to decide to confront me, it would take a great deal of morale and mental strength to manipulate him into fighting for me, even if I didn’t die to him.

A being that follows me, yet possesses the same level of reason as a Dracolich… … Hmm.

‘It’s going to take quite some time.’

With those thoughts in mind, I walked around the streets.

In the residential area, there were many other races besides humans, and products tailored to the standards of those races were advertised in stores all over the streets.

Some of the more unusual ones caught my eye, but what about the Dracolich, who finds everything fascinating?

[Oh… … Ohhh… … !]

Falling into a state of ecstasy, as if discovering a new world, the dracolich looked around with such ferocity that it seemed as if its neck would break.

While I was staring at it for a while, my steps stopped as I entered a certain area.

[Father, there are people like Lord Kelvin passing by!]

As the Dracolich had said, there were many people there wearing armor like Kelvin.

Not only that, each of them was carrying a heavy-looking weapon, such as a sword, spear, mace, or bow, and as if tailored to such people, the shops also had armor and weapons on display at the front.

‘A knight… … .’

For a moment, I remembered Kelvin and the Queen on the 17th floor.

The queen wandered around madly for countless years.

In order to bring back such a queen, Kelvin devoted countless years to saving the kingdom on behalf of the queen, and eventually the queen returned.

As I thought about it, one undead came to mind.

‘Death Knight?’

The being commonly known as the Death Knight.

Since it is based on a powerful article, it is natural that it has an ego, and as a knight, it is also a trait that makes it possible for it to be loyal to someone, even risking its life.

What if I could create a Death Knight, and have one that would be loyal to me?

‘He would be the perfect guy for me to handle right now.’

Of course, this was just a wishful thinking.

It would be difficult for me to convince such a knight, and it would be of no use if the resurrected undead did not offer loyalty to me.

Still, maybe it’s because he’s the guy who fits my situation the best.

Before I knew it, I had begun to walk towards that area.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t have much contact with these guys when I was outside the tower.’

As the commander of the legion, it would have been normal for him to have many opportunities to cooperate or communicate with other legions, but in reality, that was not the case.

To begin with, my legion was nothing more than my undead, and to the common knights who had a hard time viewing the undead, my legion was treated as a bit of a wanderer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there was no contact at all.

I was quite familiar with the spies from the legion who occasionally came to deliver news, and with other legion commanders I met for operational meetings.

That is, for me, the knights were, if anything, the guys I had a somewhat close relationship with.

Compared to wizards or necromancers, they are guys who I have a much better understanding of.

Maybe that’s why I kept going inside, even though I would have just glanced at it briefly.

[Father, are you interested in knights?]

“any.”

To be exact, I was interested in Death Knight, but there was no need to reveal it.

As you go further inward, the ordinary weapons start to disappear, and armor and swords with magic start to appear.

Among them, there were quite a few weapons that were difficult to buy even with the points I had.

‘… … It’s this expensive?’

Of course, it was an outrageous price for me.

Considering how poor the magic on that weapon was, it definitely wasn’t worth the price.

As I was examining the weapon in such detail, someone tapped me from behind.

“Hey, can you please step aside?”

It was a voice that sounded familiar.

The moment I turned my head to look at her face.

“That weapon, I was going to buy it… Huh?!”

I laughed in vain as I looked at him, who was equally surprised at the sight of my face.

‘… … What a small world.’

The man standing there was the man I met on the 11th floor.

The name was… Cain, I think.

“What, you said you were going to look at weapons, so why all of a sudden… Huh!?”

And when the woman behind him, Hayu, saw my face, I couldn’t help but laugh in vain.

At this point, I started to think that maybe this was fate.
