Chapter 35: The Harvest

Many days passed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Emperor has been able to reconvene the court council, and now Yeyue has officially become the Viscount of the Holy Light Empire, rewarded with five thousand gold coins, and has been granted a piece of land near the lower reaches of the Jonni River on the border between the provinces of Abi and Aki.

Her position in the church also soared from a ninth-class priesthood to a fifth-class priesthood.

And she was also offered the position of court mage - although the royal family expanded the Royal Knights and Court Mage every year, if she wanted to become one of them, she had to go through a strict background and strength check, and the number of places admitted at a time was extremely limited.

However, most of the rewards are meaningless to Yeyue: although five thousand gold coins are already a huge wealth that ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime, Yeyue, as the king of the Land of Death, where all the land, countless subordinates, and countless gold and silver treasures are hers, and this money is naturally meaningless to her;

The viscount sounds not small, it is a title that can be called a king and a hegemon in a remote area, but in the important place of the capital, the streets are full of dignitaries, and the little viscount is nothing at all;

The land allocated was quite large, 200 square kilometers.

But the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it takes a lot of work to create some wealth if no one lives on it.

Traditionally, developed and prosperous areas are directly under the central government, and underdeveloped and undeveloped areas are given to meritorious officials to govern, and His Majesty the Emperor probably has nothing to do.

Of course, Yeyue didn't have the leisure to develop that land at all;

The real harvest of the night moon is the "remote-controlled bomb" installed on the current monarch of the most powerful human being. You can find a way to make good use of this in the future.

It's really too easy.

The positions of priest and court mage are also considered a good reward.

In the days that followed, Yeyue first spent 1,520 gold dragon coins to buy a house in the aristocratic district of Wright, and made some decorations.

Since you have such a legitimate identity, it would be a waste not to set up an intelligence base in the heart of the empire, and then slowly select personnel to fill it in the future.

The undead leader spent most of his time outside of consultation in the Royal Library and the Church's Library of Light.

These two libraries have dozens of times more books than all the books in the Dead Wastes combined, and they are the places that can best satisfy the intellectual curiosity of polymato, which is enough to attract this undead king who loves to study.

In addition, the two libraries also have areas for court mages and priests, respectively, and all the magic and magic that can be collected in both libraries are recorded.

Even for this dark wizard with a poor profession, this place can be called heaven.

And compared to mages and priests who only know "so" but not "so", or just think they know "so", Yeyue learns these spells much faster.

Based on the principles recorded in the ruins of the Lost Swamp, with a dash of modern science, superhuman memory, and magical superiority, it would take months for others to chant and memorize and even copy spells in spell books to re-prepare before use, and she only needed to recite them a few times to memorize and understand the principles and usage.

As a result, her knowledge has improved very quickly.

This knowledge will also have a good effect on her future impact on the Holy Rank.

Of course, her troubles are not without them.

For example, there are a lot of messy social invitations.

As an upstart, although her current status is not high, everyone can see that she has a bright future.

Of course, she pushed them all away, but the process of pushing them out had already annoyed her - she had seen the complexity of human society, the various demands of politicians with various goals, and even explicit or implicit marriage requests or direct courtship...... And in addition to women, the other party even knows that she is "a man".

The undead leader, who has never been so lively in three lifetimes, really doesn't like to deal with these things......

So she spent more time hiding in the library.

――――――――――――――――――

She had one more thing to worry about.

It's about the five "undead".

After a few days of spending time with Farr and Matt, she already sensed that the two undead were not going to go back to her anytime soon.

The two undead who were reborn once probably wanted to make up for their regrets, and the process seemed to be familiar.

Farr is already looking for an opportunity to be transferred to the Royal Knights, which is considered the most elite legion in the Empire, and many of the central generals and legion captains are from the Royal Knights.

Yeyue knew that with his strength, he would be able to pass this year's Royal Knights assessment, and he might be able to directly assume a leadership position because of his outstanding performance.

Matt is now the captain of the Paladin, and he has risen so fast.

Perhaps as long as they are given a few years to go up and down the camp, it may not be impossible to restore the status they were in alive.

"Forget it, let them be."

The Lord of the Undead quickly thought about this matter for the benefit - since the two great undead had come here to play the game of the family, and the alfalfa acted without a purpose at all, and did whatever he wanted, it meant that the five undead had not joined forces to deal with themselves behind their backs.

And she doesn't have any need for these five powerful great undead now, when she really needs them, when her strength is close to the Holy Rank, she can use the back door to sign a contract and recall them back.

――――――――――

"At that point, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with letting the alfalfa go."

The relationship between Alfalfa and Yeyue seems to be getting better and better, so good that Yeyue can't move her mind to fight her bad idea at all.

She hasn't had anything special to do, she usually wanders around and has nothing to do, and the most she does at the moment is to find "Wende".

"Wende" reads books, she also reads, and if "Wende" goes out, she goes to practice archery.

The original skeleton shooter didn't seem to care about anything, and probably didn't mind going back to Castle Black on his own initiative.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Grand, who had fled at the same time as Metfal, was still nowhere to be seen.

The great undead didn't know where he was.

――――――――――――――――――――

Yeyue never saw Jane either.

One is because she has been too full lately, and the other is that she has some trouble.

She unbelievably sneaks into the palace, as the daughter of a prince who has no impression of the night moon.

And everyone thought that she would have infiltrated the church, because she was a pastor during her lifetime, and she was the most religious of all the legends about the Five Heroes.

It's weird.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

One afternoon, Yeyue left the library and came to the palace.

Because, in theory, as Wright V's personal physician, she had to give His Majesty the Emperor regular check-ups.

After rescanning the other party's body, Yeyue added a few tonics to the prescription and left.

After that, she decided to go to Jane, because Alfalfa had already conveyed Jane's invitation to her, and since it was convenient today, it was better to go today.

Thanks to the high fame of "Wende", the beautiful lady who passed it on was affectionately led to Jane's residence, the princess's hall to the west of the palace.

Through the courtyard wall formed by layers of holly, "Wende" finally found Jane, who had not been seen for a long time.

The weather was fine.

The former beauty priest was sitting lazily in the shade of a tree at this time.

The long silver hair characteristic of the royal family casually fell on the white picnic cloth beneath him, and there were delicate snacks and white porcelain teapots beside him, and a large picnic basket was placed on the green grass.

At this time, she was holding a white porcelain teacup with red lines, very lazy and leisurely drinking black tea that seemed to be worth a lot of money.

Presumably, the combination of the scent of green grass and the fragrance of black tea is a very pleasant smell.

The female officer of the communication came forward to report and left.

Jane raised her head lazily, just like when she was in Castle Black: "You are Wende?" ā€

"Yes."

"Do you like tea?"

The former priest princess asked with a smile.

Very...... Gentle look.

"I like it."

"Whew...... Shall we have a drink together? When people get old, they always have to have some fun. Jane was still smiling.

"You look like you're twenty years old at most......"

Jane stroked her cheek, smiled without saying a word, and beckoned Yeyue to sit down.

She was still the same as when she was in Castle Black, gentle, beautiful and harmless, and her tone was so soft and nice.

Who would have thought that her true identity was a dangerous undead?

The King of the Dead sat down across from the silver-haired beauty, and after another disguise spell, he took off his mask and put on a business smile, and held up a delicate cream fruit cake on a white porcelain plate.

Blue skies, white clouds, beautiful royal gardens, "princesses", "handsome young men" and picnic utensils make up a beautiful picture.
