Chapter 127
“If they leave the kingdom, what were you thinking, Seina?”
? ?????
Seina suddenly became quiet.
“Are you going to follow me?”
It was like being stabbed in the eye.
Aren\'t the hometown people leaving the kingdom? probably won\'t come back
So what will Seina do?
In my opinion, there was a good chance that he would probably retire and follow the villagers.
Due to her personality, she can never turn her back on her hometown people.
In addition, the villagers also needed Seina\'s power, so they probably wanted her to quit being a knight and follow her.
Of course, it will not be forced.
However, they would have quietly recommended Seina.
“Of course, I wouldn’t have stopped it either way.”
Of course, I have to respect her situation, so I can\'t stop her until the end if I follow her.
I trained Seina to the level she is now, but it\'s a waste to let her go again.
There is also a reason to protect the talents in my hands.
We can\'t just let the knights we\'ve been recruiting and training disappear.
“So that\'s why I want to help them.”
This was also a counterargument to what Seina had told me during the day that I like people.
Yes, there is definitely a reason.
by the way
“It\'s worth all this effort.”
There is only one problem.....
“...everything is good, but how can I not handle this stench?”
There was a problem that the rotten me in the forest was vibrating.
Even though I deliberately made my sense of smell dull, I am dying of disgust.
To be honest, I think my nose will taste bad if I don\'t deliberately escape from reality while drinking strong-scented tea...
“To be honest, I don\'t know what black magicians really mean. How can I live with these things?”
“...I agree with you.”
Unlike me, Seina, who doesn\'t know how to dull her sense of smell, is enduring more pain.
Just like that, Seina and I were grumbling and waiting.
“hmm? It seems to be slowly coming in.”
As the night deepened, there were many signs slowly approaching this direction from the surroundings, as if it was time for full-fledged activities.
A faintly audible murky overdrink, as if breathing was stopped.
Undead undead undead... The undead are really rich. The undead are very poor.
Just in case, just in case, as Seina\'s grandfather said, a considerable number of undead are now gathering around.
‘Really, where did all those things come from?\'
Doubtful, I reached out my hand toward Seina.
“Let\'s do the rest as we said before.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Seina smiled wryly, took my hand, lifted me up, and carried me on my back.
From now on, Seina has to run around avoiding the undead with me as close as possible, so she has no choice but to carry me on her back like this.
“ruler! Then, let’s start the fan meeting against the undead!”
“Why are you so excited about the sword?”
“It’s dull because there are only undead. Then the country should be a little more energetic.”
And in fact, because of the stench caused by the undead, he was deliberately raising the tension in his brain to escape reality.
“Seina Go!”
As soon as I shouted, Seina took me and jumped up.
And at the same time, the undead began to rush in from all directions.
....This is not some kind of horror movie.
However, unlike typical horror movies, the undead here show really dynamic movements.
It is basic to run around, and even climb to a high place and jump down as if attacking.
Well .... Slow ‘Uh,\'
Indeed, the people from Seinane\'s hometown are in trouble.
It\'s definitely intimidating.
For normal people to encounter something like this would be nothing short of a nightmare.
However, from my point of view, it is somehow funny.
Of course, the influx of the undead is enough horror, but the sight of Seina running with me on her back somehow feels out of place, so there is no tension.
It\'s desperate, but somehow funny.
“It feels like playing tag with some kind of undead.”
“Isn’t this the time to be happy?!”
Seina was busy trying to avoid being captured by the undead.
“Wow... I don\'t want to do this again.”
In reality, even if Seina fights, the undead are no match at all, but it wouldn\'t be a very pleasant experience to run around avoiding those disgusting things.
Above all, I don\'t want to touch it.
I feel like something is going to move.
no way? support.
Seina, who had skilfully carried me on her back to avoid getting caught by the undead flocking for a while, quickly left, as if she had decided that it was enough.
And at the same time, Dia, who was waiting in the sky, wiped out the undead all at once with magic.
As the pillar of fire soared, the undead were easily burned to the point of futility.
As expected, the abilities of the undead themselves were not high.
It was possible to deal with it with just a simple wide-area flame system magic.
‘Did I just make it as a half-experiment and leave it alone?\'
That is unknown as of now.
“Then let’s do this a few more times.”
Even if it wasn\'t so, the undead who hadn\'t gathered yet due to the heat and binge drinking would have reacted sufficiently and come this way.
If they acted as decoys a few more times in the future, most of the undead would be wiped out.
Of course, for that, I\'ll probably have to run hard until morning.
It sounds like a joke, but surprisingly, it worked well.
So, Seina. cheer up.
?
Extermination of the undead was so simple that it was bland.
Just die until morning. It was a repetition of Seina running around with me on her back and Dia burning hard behind her.
“Heh... Uh heh... This isn\'t really hard.”
However, it seems that running with one person on his back until morning was not usually hard work even for an active driver.
When the sun rose in the morning, Seina put me down and lay down on the floor.
It\'s the first time I\'ve seen him so tired.
“Sorry for the hard work. Good job.”
I praised Seina for her hard work for running until morning.
“Dia did a good job too!”
I waved my hand at Dia, who was still looking around from above, and ordered her to come down.
But he hesitates for a moment to come down.
.... Hey, it smells like that, doesn\'t it?
come down Let\'s share this pain together!! Where has your allegiance gone?
Eventually, when I urged her, Dia hesitantly descended.
Then, as if he was trying to ventilate the air, he tried to circulate the dirty air around him and send it out with magic.
It\'s a futile effort.
“You don\'t see any more undead than that?”
“Yes, is this enough?”
“I think that will probably be enough.”
Not all of the 1,000 have been dealt with, but only a handful are left now.
That\'s enough to deal with even the villagers here, so there shouldn\'t be any big problems.
What concerns me more than that.
“Oh, there is one left.”
At that moment, he found an undead struggling beyond the bush and pointed at it, and Dia quickly burned it.
....Please go to a good place.
I meditated quietly.
“Is there really no other weird guy besides the undead like this?”
“....yes. I kept looking from above, but I couldn\'t find any other traces of mana.”
The reason Dia was kept on standby in the sky was to respond to an unexpected situation.
But is it really the end of dragging out only the undead?
“No matter how you look at it, it\'s a wizard right?”
“If Arel-nim thinks so, then it must be the correct answer.”
Dia agreed with me as if it were natural.
The creation of these undead must have been the work of wizards.
Even after sneaking a sneak peek at the undead behind Seina\'s back all night, she could clearly feel traces of artificial mana.
However, the culprit was not in this forest.
‘...There\'s one more thing that bothers me.\'
In fact, while looking at the undead all night, I found a suspicious corner for some reason.
That was the outfit of the undead.
Most of the undead were wearing damaged armor or military uniforms.
Normally, naturally occurring undead would be wearing the shroud worn at the funeral.
But most of the undead here are wearing armor, and that\'s the armor of many countries.
It\'s all something I can\'t help but get accustomed to.
‘The Merman Empire, the Kingdom of Demaniel, the Principality of Sepheen... and the Kingdom of Ernesia.\'
Aren\'t they all from soldiers who fought in the most recent war?
Come to think of it, they flowed in near the border, right?
I don\'t know the battlefield in the southern region because I\'m not involved, but it\'s definitely a place where the battle was fierce when it was near the border.
Then, is it the one where the undead occurred?
Thinking of the map in my head and calculating, it was the only place where these undead could flow in.
‘For now, let\'s investigate later.\'
It bothers me for some reason to turn away just because it smells.
I made it clear in my head that I would check it out in earnest later.
We went back to the village and told the village chief that we had dealt with the undead.
However, as soon as we returned to the village, the villagers fled in a different way this time.
“...I\'ll have to wash it first.”
It was because of the stench felt by the three of us.
That\'s because I ran brightly with the undead all night long.
It was as if the rotten me had gotten into my clothes.
Maybe it felt like I wasn\'t a rotten me in this world for them.
As soon as he returned, he had to first wash and change into other clothes before he could deliver the news that the eradication of the undead was over.
“First of all, we\'ve dealt with most of the undead around us. There won\'t be such a big problem.”
“....Is that true?”
Seinana\'s grandfather Avenna looked quite surprised.
“Did you tell me? Keep your promise. Well, Seina and Dia worked hard.”
“Even so, it’s too fast.”
“It’s our family tradition to be quick-tempered and quick-tempered.
After I said I would deal with the undead, I went right away that night, and it would be surprising to me that I really kept my promise.
“All that remains is about the lord. I\'ll take care of this, so you won\'t have to worry about it anymore.”
Perhaps, soon after I go up to the manor, I intend to let the villagers know that the lord will be held accountable for this incident.
In any case, leaving the undead problem unattended would be a big responsibility.
Even I witnessed it myself, so I can\'t just ignore it.
With this, there was no reason for the people of Seina\'s home village to leave.
At that fact, Avenna obediently bowed her head to me and thanked me.
No matter how they do it, it will be quite difficult to move the village.
“...How can I say thank you?”
“Rather than thanks, let’s talk about the future in earnest.”
Because of that bastard\'s bank, he had to exterminate even the undead in the middle of the night.
Why is it so hard to set up a bank?
Now that I can achieve my original purpose, I want to quickly start with the main topic.
