Episode 348 Reconciliation (2)
Iriel has been busy for the past seven years.
It is also true that one adult suddenly left.
The workload, which was already a lot, more than doubled after that, and I had to take care of the political world, so it was literally on all sides.
While there was a hatred of helping him, who only showed his face when he wanted help, there was also a desire to help him travel across the continent like in the past.
She was disturbed by her double heart.
He tried to hide it with a cold attitude.
The way she spoke and swayed with cold air was literally reproducing the saintess in the elven village before she met Ray.
After sweeping her soft hair once, she checked her sincerity and headed for the office.
Then, as usual, the lady-in-waiting who had been waiting for her in front of the office spoke with a bright face.
“I have nothing to do today.”
“yes?”
She asked back with a puzzled look. No work?
Is there nothing to do for the only saint who is keeping his seat in the holy kingdom?
It would have been better if the pope had nothing to do.
Could the lady-in-waiting who couldn’t overcome her boredom want to joke with her?
Seeing her suspicious eyes, the lady-in-waiting smiled.
“The Holy Son has gone.”
“…Rei?”
“yes. He was holding on to the stack of papers for half a day.”
“…”
She stared at the office table in silence, then turned her head quickly.
“When you come to the Holy Land, you have to pay for food.”
As she left the office with cold words, the lady-in-waiting covered her mouth and laughed.
The piled up paperwork is what she had to do in a week.
I had a lot of work, but as it started to pile up, it was difficult to handle.
Since the saint solved it overnight, he must have put his mind at ease, even if he had to stop talking.
“You are gone now.”
At her self-talk, a person crawls out from under the table.
Waiting for her to leave, Ray, who had killed the presence and hid, wiped away a cold sweat.
“You’re very diligent from early morning.”
What crazy aristocrat would think of working in his office from six in the morning.
I wouldn’t work that hard even if the pope was watching me in the face.
If it was Iriel, it was possible.
She started moving around dawn and didn’t leave her office until the sun was completely down.
I expected it because it was Ray who watched it from the side in the past, but I didn’t know that it would still be the same seven years later.
he clicked his tongue
As a senior who almost experienced death from overwork once in the past, Iriel was at a sufficiently dangerous level.
If you keep going like this, even if your body follows you, your heart won’t be able to withstand it.
As a doctor, I recommend getting enough rest.
The lady-in-waiting burst out laughing as if she was having fun.
“Ho-ho-ho. Even if Iriel-sama didn’t say it, he must have liked it on the inside.”
“I like it. Didn’t you see him shaking his hand when he said he had nothing to do today?”
The lady-in-waiting bowed deeply to Ray, who grumbled.
“I dare to express my gratitude on behalf of the saintess.”
“What are you thankful for?”
Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, he looked around the office.
The dreary interior of the office, which is not decorated with anything, seems to be modeled after Iriel.
Ray let out a small sigh.
I don’t even feel like working when I have an office like this.
In fact, the reliability was close to 12% because he did not want to work while organizing paperwork.
He grabbed some papers and held them.
After greeting the lady-in-waiting, she left the office.
It was time to do something else.
* * *
The lich, who was once the owner of Proxia and was called the master of black magic, was currently lying down in the fields of the mountains behind him, trying to sleep.
Someone tapped him with a foot.
“What kind of crazy bastard are you?”
When I looked up, there was a familiar face.
Richie jumped up from his seat.
“road!”
“I’ll just be a crazy bastard.”
Lich quickly changed his words at his grunt.
“Some noble person…”
“It’s too late.”
“Rather than that, what’s going on in the Holy Land? Perhaps the Magic Tower…”
“That’s not going to happen.”
“yes.”
I rummaged through something in Ray’s backpack and pulled out a book.
It is a magic book with an antique feeling even at first glance.
It was a book I had brought from Proxia before.
“Do you know what this is?”
As we talked and handed over the book, Rich screamed as soon as he saw the book.
“Ah! Life vessel!”
life vessel?
Ray twitched his eyebrows.
As a test, I lightly tapped the magic book with my fist.
Poo-!
It was only a slight blow, but Richie’s body twisted grotesquely.
“Aaaagh!”
It’s pretty cool to see him holding his chest and hurting.
He looked at the book with curious eyes.
“Oh, was this a book for this purpose?”
Baka-!
“Aagh! Stop that!”
It’s a lot of fun doing it.
However, after playing with it a little more, the new shape of the lich gradually faded and it seemed to disappear completely.
Ray asked, throwing a book at Richie.
“How do you open this?”
The lich, who carefully received the magic book into his arms, let out a sigh of relief.
“Because it is a high-level lockdown magic, no one can unlock it without knowing the formula. Since I put a lock on it, now it can be said that only I can unlock it.”
Proudly sticking out her chest, which had been clinging to the pain just now, speaks.
For some reason, I felt like giving away a little more magic books, but I pushed through it and endured it.
Lich raised the mana in his left hand.
“Unlock.”
Whoop-!
Mana resonated loudly and permeated into the book of magic.
As the magic of the lich filled the left hand, the dark light embroidered the surroundings and opened the tightly locked book.
Knock-!
Numerous invisible locks are unlocked.
If you add the numbers together, it is a huge magic circle made up of 36 locks and 20 mana spells.
The magic book that had not been opened for a long time finally revealed itself.
Richie tucked his hair behind his ear and sat down.
“This is the true form of the book of magic.”
At that, Ray stared at the book.
Far from seeing one, it only looks like an open blank book.
“I can’t see anything…”
“If you activate mana in the eyes, you will see the composition of the magic book made of mana. This book is not to be seen by those who have not reached a certain level. It’s embarrassing, but even I, who is only in the 7th circle, can’t see the letters when I reach the end.”
If it’s Circle 7, it’s just amazing that you can’t read all the magic books even though you’re beyond human limits.
As the lich said, Ray used mana in his eyes.
Then, he noticed that previously invisible mana particles were swimming in the air.
They were put together and divided, and soon began to become letters.
Let’s read it carefully, which is like slang.
“Richification.”
It’s a slightly different kind of magic than I expected.
In it, from the first page, absurd magic was written.
Are you asking yourself to become a rich?
Is this the first time in the history of the continent that the saint Lich will be born?
Ray looked at Richie with a questioning expression.
Then Rich caressed the back of his neck and smiled awkwardly.
“My teacher said during his lifetime that there is a limit to what a human being can achieve. In order to reach a higher realm, it was necessary to have a lifespan superior to that of humans.”
It’s a superior lifespan.
It will definitely be superior.
It was not an ordinary undead, but a lich called No life king.
I wanted to see what kind of crazy person the substitute teacher was.
If it’s a lich, it’s probably alive.
“Where is your master?”
“Two hundred years ago, he destroyed the Life Vessel himself and passed away. Since he had lived two thousand years more, he must have been tired of life. Oh don’t worry loading. I’m not quite there yet.”
It is ironic to see the elderly Richie, who has lived for more than 300 years, smiling brightly, saying that he is still young.
As if he had noticed Ray’s thoughts, he raised a finger and said.
“In the undead world, when you are 300 years old, you are about to become an adult.”
“I would have died three more times in the human world.”
“Don’t get caught up in the little things. Please see the next chapter.”
The lich, who dismissed a person’s lifespan as a trivial thing, pointed to the magic book.
When I moved my gaze with a disapproving expression, there were small letters there.
Ray read it down.
“Unique magic.”

“Money flows out like water.”
Harpman grabbed his head.
I feel as if my hair, which is not much, is falling out more these days.
After fighting fiercely in the dark with the giant forces, the funds he had collected so far disappeared as if he had closed his eyes.
As gold coins were enough to build a wagon with gold due to a single workshop, the fort did not feel alive even though it was alive.
The branch manager, who felt that the owner was not in a good mood, quickly brought a tea full of scent.
“Eat at least some of this and relax your mind.”
He glanced at the car and sighed.
“It’s a hundred cars. I have no money, so there is nothing I can do.”
Halfman, who thoughtlessly drank the tea, frowned.
After drinking tea leaves that were more expensive than the same weight of gold, I felt bitter when I tried to drink white tea made from young shoots.
The branch manager brought up a topic that would enhance the taste of the tea.
“This time the top three points are gone. I think it might be their fault.”
“The attacks are getting stronger with each passing day. So, did you find out anything?”
“I captured two people called Wagum, but committed suicide during the escort. They seem to be quite highly trained.”
Halfman gritted his teeth at those words.
“After all, only our branch was blown up! How dare you touch my golden… no top!”
“What should I do?”
“We have to fight back! I’ll give you eight thousand platinum coins! Hire all mercenaries or adventurers and attack with excitement!”
“Are they really going to take on such a dangerous job?”
“If it doesn’t work, you can solve more money! There is nothing in this world that cannot be done with money!”
When Harpman, not anyone else, said that, I somehow strangely understood it.
The branch manager quickly lowered his head and walked away.
A counterattack from the top of Hafman began.
