The soldier shouted save (31)
A ball of fire filled the sky above.
I looked down at Hye-rin, pressing my temple with my left hand as I recalled the fireball that had mercilessly burned my body.
“… … What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
Hyelin looks at my face with concern.
I look up at the sky at that sight, take a deep breath, and think with a slightly clearer mind.
‘Did Lee Hye-rin have a reason to kill me?’
Lee Hye-rin, who is around the same age as Croa, cannot hide her expression.
If there was something going on, I would have known just by looking at your face.
Even if a quest like ‘Murder Lee Hye-rin’ had been targeted at me, I wouldn’t have been able to decide to kill myself overnight.
‘Then there is only one conclusion.’
Hye-rin killed me unintentionally.
“The magic that tells you coordinates, Situs. Can that magic tell you the wrong coordinates?”
After reaching that conclusion, I asked Hye-rin while recalling the situation before I died.
“… … The Situs magic? If you use it through parchment, it’s not hard to distort the coordinates. You just have to change the formula a little.”
The person who drove me to my death was not my second daughter who died in the flames, nor my youngest brother, Goyle Walker, but someone who was in a safe place.
“… … If it’s not good, how about just going back?”
I smiled at Hye-rin’s words and raised the corners of my lips.
“It’s okay now. I have a rough idea of what kind of guy he is.”
“……yes?”
“Let’s go, we’ll choose the second daughter.”
-Thump, thump.
As I walk with my legs stretched out, Hye-rin follows behind me with her short legs moving diligently.
“Oh, come on! Let’s go together!”
The steps stopped shortly after hearing Hye-rin’s words.
“… … .”
I raised my voice to my second daughter, who was hanging her head without being able to include even a single person.
“I will follow you.”
The second daughter raises her head in surprise at my words.
My face.
And the second daughter, who was looking at Hye-rin’s face in the palace magician’s uniform, sat up without being able to suppress the corners of her lips from going up.
“If you, my lords, would follow me, it would be a great help! Really, it’s nice to meet you!”
Unlike her last life where she had a country left behind, the second daughter’s charisma had largely disappeared, perhaps because she was shocked that no one was left behind.
The second daughter who still watches our gaze sensitively.
“Don’t worry, I promise to give you compensation that will rival that of your brother and sister!”
As soon as she looks towards her brothers Kyle and Goyle, the younger daughter urgently promises compensation.
“… … Ah. That, that, wait a minute!”
He quickly turns his back on the second daughter.
I spoke in a calm tone to the second daughter who was trying to grab her urgently.
“There are some people who have been watching.”
“… … Anyone seen it?”
“Yes, if we can bring them, it will be a great help to the camp. I will persuade them.”
Before the second daughter could say anything, she took off her shoes and Hye-rin naturally followed behind her.
“Stand here so that others can see you.”
“… …Just stand there?”
I placed Hye-rin in front of the second daughter and walked around in front of a place where there were a lot of knights, and kept moving.
‘Is this enough?’
In a few minutes, more than five knights gathered in front of the second daughter.
As I turned my back and headed back to the second daughter’s camp, Marie Walker, surrounded by knights, whispered to me with a bright smile.
“I will never forget your deeds.”
I just pretended to convince others.
The one who gathered the people was Hye-rin, wearing the uniform of a palace magician, but there was no need for me to reveal that fact with my own mouth.
“It is an honor, Youngae.”
One of the things I learned in my last life was the aristocratic quick wit of the second daughter who ‘turned a crisis into honor’.
* * *
After the faction split, the second daughter started a meeting about the demon Mentis.
The great characteristic of the hemp spirit Mentis is that it can freely control animals.
The first to come up with a strategy at the meeting was the second wizard of the second generation, a skinny, bespectacled man.
“The animals in the Forest of Spirits are powerful and variable. That’s why I think the best strategy is to take defensive moves and support the main force.”
A similar strategy to the one I first proposed in my last life.
The second daughter, who had been nodding, looked at me naturally.
“It doesn’t seem like a bad strategy, but what do you think, Your Majesty?”
The second daughter still thinks it’s my fault for bringing people together, and tries to rely on me at every moment of choice.
I thought of my second daughter from my last life and asked her questions that she might be worried about.
“It’s not a bad idea to support the main force, but it’s like going with the flow. Even if the suppression is successful, no one will remember our actions.”
“… … Certainly, that makes sense.”
The second daughter, who somehow wanted to achieve great feats with a small force.
“Then, Your Majesty, what kind of strategy do you think would be good?”
As if waiting for those words, the bespectacled wizard clears away all the pieces on the map he had set up and suggests a new strategy.
“Instead of us walking around with our backs turned, we need to make sure that the punitive force is chasing us with our backs turned.”
“… … You’re making us chase your backs?”
“Yes, we should take the lead.”
At my words, the second daughter folds her arms with a worried expression on her face.
“Are you saying we should go on a reconnaissance mission? It’s not a bad place to make a contribution, since there are many variables in the Spirit Forest. But isn’t it too dangerous?”
He said this while pointing to Hye-rin, who was wearing a gorgeous palace magician’s uniform.
“Our faction has the only wizard who can use teleportation magic. If there is someone who can sense danger quickly, they can quickly escape danger even if they are in the lead by teleporting.”
The knights who looked at Hye-rin without realizing it.
As the second daughter nodded, as if she was being persuaded little by little, someone raised a voice of dissent.
“Ha, so what do you mean by knights with heads full of muscle? People who can quickly sense danger in the forest. So, is that person in our camp?”
The knights turned their gaze as if they could not do it.
But there was only one person left who held his head stiffly and nodded positively.
“Okay, Allen. Let’s go with the plan you mentioned. I’ll try to solve the problem of danger detection even if it means buying some magic tools.”
A magical tool that detects danger.
There was no way I could get something like that in such a short period of time.
‘The ability to sense danger. Perhaps, it is the second daughter’s special privilege.’
The second daughter, who had no battlefield experience and could not even handle a sword properly, was the first among the punitive force to sense the crisis.
Perhaps it has more to do with special privileges.
The second daughter smiles at me and declares.
“I think this concludes the meeting.”
As the second daughter opens the door, Hye-rin and other people leave the conference room.
The only ones left in the conference room are me and my second daughter.
I asked the question to my second daughter, who knew Walker Street better than anyone.
“Do you know where your eldest son, Kyle, has his personal office?”
“… … I understand, but why are you curious about that, Your Highness?”
“I plan to look into the commanders that Kyle trusts. If I know the commanders, I will be able to know the general operational tendencies and directions.”
My words were nonsense that could not be accomplished without stealing the eldest son’s operation plan, but the second daughter, who had no combat experience, nodded as if in a trance as my speech grew longer.
“If it’s something that’s so necessary, there’s no reason not to do it. I’ll draw a map for you.”
A map of the Walker family, quickly covering the blank parchment.
As expected, he was an educated person.
I smiled and bowed my head at the more detailed map than I had expected.
“I will definitely achieve results.”
At my words, the second daughter nodded with a smile on her face.
“I will only trust you, my lord.”
* * *
After leaving the second daughter’s room, I took Hye-rin and headed to the dorm.
“There’s someone following you.”
“… … Yes? Tailing?”
A familiar-looking maid chasing after me or Hye-rin.
Unlike his fierce appearance, he had a skilled look that killed any signs. As soon as he turned the corner of the hallway, he pushed Hye-rin’s back and quickly moved his legs.
“Huh, gasp, gasp! Ah, still, still, are you following me?”
Hye-rin’s physical strength was so poor that no one would call her a magician.
After only running for a few minutes, I was drenched in sweat and my face was red.
I asked Hye-rin in the storage room where I had hurriedly hidden.
“Do you know why they’re following us?”
“… … Huh, hh, well, huh? Isn’t it just because of the teleport?”
An unexpected answer from an exhausted Hye-rin.
As I furrowed my brows in thought, Hye-rin gradually calmed her heavy breathing and continued to explain.
“What was it? Didn’t you even sign a secret oath or something to tell people not to tell anyone about the operation?”
“That’s right.”
“But honestly, a wizard of that level could temporarily nullify the magic contained in the secret oath.”
Even I, who have stayed in the palace for quite some time, am hearing this for the first time.
“… … How do you neutralize it?”
“With dispel magic.”
An extremely difficult magic that renders magic useless.
“Wasn’t Dispel supposed to be used only when you have a perfect understanding of the magic you’re trying to dispel?”
I thought that in order to lift a spell, you had to have enough understanding to write a thesis on the spell, but Hye-rin’s words were completely different.
“I put it in the quick slot and used it, so it just worked?”
Hye-rin’s words change the magical world that has continued for hundreds of years overnight.
I laughed in vain at Hye-rin, who might be even better than the Grand Mage of the Palace, and came to a conclusion.
“Are you saying that the Walker family is wary of you because a great wizard can ignore the oath and go out?”
“Yes. Since I don’t know when I’ll be teleported out, I guess I’ll just follow behind him instead of guarding the entrance.”
Thinking that comes from a relaxed mind.
Could it be that the reason I couldn’t think of this in my last life was because I was far away from myself and was being watched all day, exhausting me both physically and mentally?
“… … But, who ordered this?”
“No need to think about it. It was the eldest son, Kyle Walker.”
“… … Hmm, is confidentiality really that important?”
He raises the corners of his lips at Hye-rin’s words.
“If you raid the eldest son’s room, you’ll know why.”
“… … Huh?”
He spreads out on the floor the map his second daughter had drawn for him, which he had kept deep in his bosom.
“Hey, when did you prepare something like this?”
From this room to Kyle’s room.
After figuring out the general route, I pointed to Kyle’s room on the map and asked Hye-rin.
“Can you also remove the dispel lock spell?”
“Yes. I think you can solve everything in the room in 5 seconds?”
“Okay, then let’s go with that.”
After confirming that the maid who had been watching through the crack in the door had disappeared, I quickly walked away.
The hallway leading to Kyle Walker’s office.
Hye-rin shakes her head in disgust at the movements of the security guards who are preventing anyone other than those involved from entering.
“Hey, I’m telling you in advance that I can’t do it.”
“What can’t you do?”
“Shouldn’t we just sneak in without making a sound and moving quickly?”
He laughs in vain at those words and shakes his head.
“If you are not confident, follow me via teleport.”
“Oh, I can’t use it because the coordinates for places I haven’t been to aren’t registered?”
“Then, write ‘Citus’ on a piece of parchment and hand it over. I will infiltrate and reveal the coordinates.”
At my words, Hye-rin puts down a blank piece of parchment on the floor and stretches her hand into the air.
“Just a moment… … I need to change my skills by making magic scrolls.”
I moved my fingers in the air for a few dozen seconds.
Hye-rin mutters while looking down at the parchment.
“Confectio, citus.”
Parchment that is instantly filled with dense writing.
He puts the parchment in his bosom and speaks to Hye-rin.
“Do you have enough mana stack to use Teleport?”
“… … Uh, round trip isn’t allowed.”
“Drink the mana potion. When you arrive, shout for Situs immediately.”
After confirming Hye-rin’s nodding, I kicked the floor while watching the guard’s movements.
‘It’s just a formality. Infiltration isn’t difficult.’
Guards chatting with their colleagues, neglecting their guard.
“Haha! I mean, who knew he’d buy me a drink?”
As I quickly jump over the railing, I knock out the guards who are neglecting their duties one by one in an instant.
A familiar voice was heard.
“Hahaha. Yeah, it’s good to dream of the future while you’re still young.”
Walter, an elderly prosecutor, walking with a smile along with skilled knights.
Thinking of his unusual appearance, I quickly jumped into the crack of the door and hid myself.
“… … Wait a minute. It looks like a rat is hiding.”
Walter approaches, his voice full of alarm, either hearing footsteps or seeing a fleeing silhouette.
“It’s close! Search it thoroughly!”
A dagger taken out without hesitation as footsteps approached.
‘again.’
When I stab him in the chin with that dagger, his vision goes black.
– Died from his own attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]
Repeated life.
And, the present has been reached without error.
As I hide in front of the hallway I remembered with my eyes, I hear Walter’s voice.
“Hahaha. Yeah, it’s good to dream of the future while you’re still young.”
Walter passes by the hidden room in advance.
‘now.’
After waiting long enough for Walter to pass by, I left the room I was hiding in and stood in front of Kyle Walker’s room.
‘Okay, luckily there’s no one there.’
A messy room covered with paperwork.
First, tear the parchment that you took out from your bosom.
“Citus.”
Shout out the coordinate confirmation magic and summon Hye-rin.
“Ugh, this is dirtier than my room.”
Hye-rin frowns as she looks at the scattered documents as soon as she arrives.
I passed Hye-rin like that and checked Kyle Walker’s desk.
“Is this information about the demon, Mentis?”
He studied the Demon Encyclopedia thoroughly, including the records of subjugation.
But after looking at other materials that were recorded as meticulously as Mentis, I frowned and laughed in vain.
“
The characteristics of the cannabis plants that Kyle Walker has focused on are all ‘the ones that affect animals in the forest.’
“Why, why are you like that?”
After looking back and forth between the druid’s behavior patterns and the data on the hemp, I realized the truth and said as I packed the documents into my bosom.
“The hemp, Mentis. There was no such thing in the first place.”
The outlines of the suppression force began to appear.
