Chapter 64: Suspicion
"But...... Felicia, are you sure you're not mistaken? Uncle Ben didn't feel Lord Raymond's breath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, Ah Shu, are you sure you're not wrong?, although it's not that I don't trust you, but no matter how you think about it, it's too strange, why would that kind of big guy at the top of the undead personally go undercover in the undead fortress?"
Listening to the question of the Waste Magic Sword, I was left with only doubts after the initial shock.
-- It's really illogical.
It's not that it's strange that there are undercover agents of the Death Lords in the Undead Fortress, but even if there are undercover agents, it should be some big man's subordinates, and there is no need for a big man of the Lich King's level to lurk in person.
After all, I missed the prophesied advent time, and it is unknown whether the successor of the King of the Undead will appear.
And this should be the crucial time when the undead decide to run for the next king.
However, as the most likely to become the next king of the undead, Raymond, the king of the lich, unexpectedly retreated at such a critical point, incarnating as a wizard armor to go undercover in the undead fortress.
By any measure, this kind of thing is just too bizarre.
"Yes, Spandam. Although it is not certain yet, Lord Raymond may have entered the realm of 'that', and it is only with the things left by the Lord that the concubine can barely see the ominous magic hidden by the dark wizard. But even so, I still can't see through Lord Raymond now, and his strength may even be on par with the monarch in his heyday. β
"W-what-! How could it be...... Then we have no chance of winning. β
"Hey, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, there is still a passer-by who doesn't know the truth here, can't you make it clear?"
The Book of the Dead said this coldly and then stopped talking, and the Waste Demon Sword was stunned in place, not knowing what to do.
What the hell are these two guys doing, how can they say that they have already lost.
"Maybe things aren't as bad as you think, and since I wasn't killed by Raymond when I first arrived at the Undead Keep, it means that I still have the value of being alive. After all, you were still asleep at that time, and I was completely incapable of resisting. β
"......Yes, Felicia, my partner is right. Why didn't Uncle Ben think of this!"
"No, you two idiots are thinking too simply. Even if Lord Raymond wants to do it now, we don't have the strength to resist, and we can't even escape. β
Hearing me say this, Ah Shu just shook his head lightly and calmly said such terrifying lines.
ββWhat is going on, it's terrifying.
Stein, who is respectful to my generation and can do whatever kind of he can, is so strong that a pretentious guy like Ah Shu is willing to say such a cowardly line before fighting.
"No, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute. There's always something to be done.,Ah Shu, don't you call yourself [Demon King Auxiliary System]?,Now is the time to need your assistance.,Hurry up and take out any door at this time.γ β
"What the hell is this idiot talking nonsense about. But...... There seems to be another way. β
I know that Ah Shu still has some effect, and it is not just a trick.
That's right, my generation is the successor of the King of the Undead, and it's the [Demon King Candidate]. No matter how you look at it, she is a character who will live to the finale, how can she die so casually.
Ah Shu, this guy occasionally can say some reliable lines.
And then......
"Well, it seems that the lord can only change his successor. β
"What are you kidding! This kind of murderous declaration is what you call it!"
A certain good-looking eighth woman said this extremely unfriendly horror line with a calm face.
Hearing the words of the Book of the Dead, the Waste Demon Sword seemed to be indignant and said, "This is absolutely impossible!
Spandam, you guy......
The hateful guy, who is usually so unreliable, just said such touching words at such a time.
After this is over, I will ask him to order something as if nothing happened.
"Then Spandam, it's up to you to fight Lord Raymond instead of Aesiin. As long as you hold off Lord Raymond for the time being, then the concubine body will be able to teleport with all the members of the Undead Fortress, and only one of you needs to be sacrificed. β
Listening to Ah Shu's words, the Waste Demon Sword seemed to tremble, wanting to say something.
"Fey, Felicia, you guy, are using ...... to provoke"
"Well, that's right, after all, Aeshuin is also the successor chosen by the sovereign. β
- Smack
After a pause, Ah Shu slapped the table and got up, stared coldly at the waste magic sword and said:
"Since Spendam is the original soul creature of the Lord, it is only natural that you should sacrifice your chosen successor to the Lord. It's great that you can fulfill the expectations of the lord, and you can be considered to have died a well-deserved death. β
Saying this, Ah Shu then smiled at the Waste Demon Sword with a gentle smile.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Oh, oh, oh, partner, Uncle Ben will go to your grave every year!"
"You'll save me again!"
It's only for a moment, but I'm stupid to be expecting this guy.
Damn, neither of these guys can do it.
Calm down, Eshuain, there will definitely be some way, as long as you can rely on yourself now, think carefully about what you haven't taken care of, what you have neglected......
To tell the truth, Alice's grandfather had died of natural causes decades ago, and the Undead Fortress had fallen into a low point of combat effectiveness.
If the Death Lords are determined to betray, they can even change the team completely without knowing it, just to attract the previous Successor to the King of the Undead, even if all the members are undercover.
- Danstan...... No, Raymond Rechett didn't.
Retained Alice and other members of the original Undead Fortress, but just infiltrated here alone as an undercover agent, probably because the Undead Fortress was monitored by a waste magic sword, so he wanted to minimize movement.
So, even if you do it to this extent, what is the reason why you are not willing to startle the snake.
Even if you give up the temptation to compete for the King of the Undead at such a critical point, you have to wait quietly for the reason of the successor of the previous King of the Undead, what will it be.
Moreover, even if I, the heir, appeared, I was unwilling to reveal my reasons for being the first to do so.
I see, I see, that's the only possibility......
"Ah Shu, you should have something to say. The relics or treasures of the previous undead king should not be just you soul creators, and this is what attracted Lord Raymond to kill me before I first appeared-!"
Hearing my words, the Book of the Dead seemed to show a surprised expression.
That's right, that's the only reason, lurking for the relics of the former King of the Undead!
If you think about it, when I first met my boss, I didn't see the figure of the deity, I only heard a voice, but there was no doubt that the place was a treasure trove or something.
The incident has been almost sorted out.
And the key to open the treasure vault is probably something like [only the inheritor with the soul mark of the previous undead king will do], so I didn't get killed at the beginning!
Because we must survive so that Raymond can get the treasure.
"Hah, how can there be such a thing, I'm afraid you've read too much bad books. It's true that the Lord has a treasure trove, but he doesn't intend to leave it to you as an idiot. Moreover, compared to the Lord, Lord Raymond is the richest existence among the undead. β
After showing a disgusted expression, Ah Shu said such unpleasant words again.
"You guys are playing a little bit of a routine for me!"
