"You seem to be so surprised that you can't speak."

　It is strange to hear the Knight Commander speaking in a woman's voice, but I can't trust him to be the heir to my will when I hear that he has stolen my research.



"What is it you want?"



"Okay. I will tell you as a souvenir. My purpose here is to show the other countries the effects of the undead treasures. For that purpose, this nation will be sacrificed. And you will die. But don't worry. Let them kill you. I'll make sure you're used as undead.



"Are you really a disciple of the sage?　Didn't the Wise One ever finish his undead treasures?"



"Oh?　You know very well. The great sage was working on the last of the undead treasures, but he died just as he was completing it. I, his best and foremost disciple, succeeded him and finally completed it."



　The Commander speaks in a feminine manner, which causes a stir among the Knights.

　Of course.



　Even though he is being manipulated, the leader of the Order is talking in a woman's voice while making a womanish gesture. Anyone would be surprised.



"It's been a long time since the wise man died. Are you an Andet too?"



"Ha ha ha!　You can't be an undet. You're right. ...... I've obtained eternal life as a result of my own research. I'm not like Andet who has no will and is useless."



"You're the one who stole the magic stone from the Knights or something!

　I confirm this out loud so that everyone can hear.



"Yes, I did. I manipulated this a**h*le Knight Commander into stealing it. Isn't that funny? He stole it himself and he's looking for it himself. You'll never find who did it. That was really funny.



"I can't believe you're the one who stole the magic stone. I'm going to get you. Stop hiding and come out!"



　Around us, the Knights are listening to our conversation.



"I'm not leaving. I'm not stupid. You'll find him. Well, you won't. My army of undead will never be defeated by your brains. You will die in fear of more and more undes. I'm going to let King's Landing sink and then I'll slowly turn you stupid adventurers into undead. Now, my knights! Slay those who would harm this country.



　The knight captain falls weakly.

　The knights are more than half sane.

　If they want to turn us into undesirables, it means they are still in King's Landing.



　But they must have been very confident of winning.

　They didn't even see us. They didn't even check on us after they released the undead.



　I don't know what the point was, though. Maybe he wanted to show off his research since he couldn't present it to anyone.



　If they knew the current situation, they would not have been able to talk so comfortably.

　I didn't bother to give him any of my information, so I didn't say anything else.



"Lucky me...let's get this over with."

--Aiyo--



　They don't seem to have any idea that they are already cornered.



　The knights, who had regained consciousness, helped us, and in no time at all the tables were turned.

　The knights were not undead.



　Apparently, they wanted the adventurers and the manipulated knights to kill each other, but it didn't work out that way. Really bad character.



　Andet and ...... our child dragon knights had been hit-and-away so many times that most of them were already back to their bones.



　It's becoming too one-sided a battle now.

　It's almost over.



　Poor things. Let's let the undes sleep in peace.



　The magic stone is lying with the bones.

　I'll ask the Knights to retrieve it.



"Lucky, can you track that woman's magic?"

------ Well, it's a little difficult. She's not coming directly to us.



"I can track her!"

　There she was, Domorte.



"Domorte, what are you doing here?　What happened to the wide-area holy magic?"



"Huh?　You say that?　Look at this!　This is what's going on!"



　I looked around and saw that none of the undead had moved.

　The Knights have all come to their senses.



"You mean we don't need ...... anymore?"



"Yes, that's right. Yes, I do.　I'm trying so hard to cast spells and make magic circles to protect this country, and more and more undes are dying and the Knights are coming back to their senses. And the only one who looked out for me was Lara!　Even cheering for Lara made me feel sad. I almost cried even though I didn't have eyes anymore!　Don't these things usually end with me playing an active role in solving the problem and helping people after the death of the legendary sage to create a new legend?"



　Domorte seemed to be very dissatisfied with the situation and started to press me.



"I don't know such a legend!　Can you follow the magic?



"Yes, I can. Lydia's magic is unique, and her magic is connected to the Knight Commander who is still sleeping over there, so we should have no problem if we follow it.






"All right, let's go. Lucky."

I'll go with you.　I haven't done much at all."

"Pappa, me and this girl are going too!



　The other followers are ready to go, but ...... we don't need that many members.

The other two are Shannon and Patra, you guys check to see if there are any undetected people and make sure no one is trapped under the rubble who didn't make it out. Mr. Gargoyle, can you get the rest of the team?"



"I'll take care of them. I'll protect them all.

　Orange Ant-E, who is riding on Mr. Gargoyle's back, pats him on the shoulder and tells him to take it easy.



　It's hard to say what to do, because sometimes Orange Ant is stronger than Gargoyle, depending on the situation.



"Just be careful not to get hurt. In the worst case scenario, we can all run to the sky and be safe. Please take care of them.



　The Orange Ants strike a saluting pose.

　As expected, they are in good command.



"Well then, Domorte, lead the way. Let's go settle this.

Follow me!



　Domorte leads the way.



　The town is empty, the people have fled.

　This is a good thing, because Rich can walk around and not make a scene.



　We make our way through the city and arrive at a large observatory overlooking the city.

　The observatory is so high that you can see all the way from the city to the outside.



Are you here?

"Yes, I can feel Lydia's magic from inside here."



　I slowly put my hand on the door of the observatory.

　It seems to be unlocked.



"Lucky can't get into ....... I'll call you if I need you, just stay in the box yard."

----Aiyo----



　On the first floor of the observatory there were several rooms, and at the back there was a staircase leading to the observation room.



　When I tried to go to the stairs,

"No, not that way. Lydia is in the basement. No one would think that there is a laboratory in the basement of the observatory.



　Indeed, I was about to go up to the observatory just because it was called an observatory.

　I never imagined that they had built a secret basement in the highest tower in King's Landing.



"Where is this cellar?"

"In that room over there."



　It was a room next to the staircase where books and documents were stored.

　The floor is covered with cobblestones, and there seems to be nothing unusual about it.



"I'll break the warding now."

　Domorte casts a spell and the entrance to the basement is opened.

　Lydia seems to be quite skilled.

　Now it's time. We're going to face off against the evil stone thief.
