My lord, may I have a word?
　It was unusually early in the morning when Sarah, a salamander, came to ask for the lord's office in the town hall.

　Sarah had been summoning bone humans (skeletons) almost every day and night to work on mining the sedimentary layers of dragon scales and reconstructing the Gehemorse area, and she always returned to her room early in the morning for a good night's sleep.

'I'm fine, but are you the one who doesn't need to rest, Sarah?'
Oh, I'll be fine, as soon as we're done talking, I'll be resting up.
　As she says this, Sarah bites down on a big yawn in front of me.
''I'm sorry to be so quick, my lord, but the person I would like you to meet tonight... no, it's not a person... now, what on earth can I say about that...''
　Something about Sarah, who suddenly starts to think about it.
Not a person... you mean like a subhuman or a monster?
It's not quite a subhuman... or a monster... or a... uh... you know... what... what... what... what...
　After this, Sarah thought about it for nearly 20 minutes, but in the end, she couldn't seem to find the right words to reveal the other person.
Anyway, I'll bring him back here tonight to meet you.
　He said only that he had concluded that he was going to go back to his room.

　And that night.
　After dinner, I was waiting for Sarah while I had a meeting with Foldente in the lord's office.
Ah, my lord, have we kept you waiting?
　Sarah opens the door to her room at the same time as I knock, and enters the room.
'Hello?　Not that there's any point in knocking, is there?
　That gesture is deliberately exaggerated by Foldente, who shows his voice in an exaggerated manner.
　Of course, I'm not really mad at Sarah, but I'm not really mad at her.
No, no, I'm... I'm sorry.
I bow my head as I slumber.
　I don't mind that much, and I ask Sarah to raise her head.
　Then Sarah takes a glance backwards, scratching her head a bit, and
My lord, you're not the one I wanted to talk to this morning, my lord, you're not the one I wanted to talk to this morning...
　She immediately introduced Sarah, who was about to start worrying as she did this morning, to Sarah, introducing her first for now, and then she led those who had been standing behind her into the room.

'Begin, my lord. I am Drindrindorun, the great sorcerer of the dead (Elder Rich) who lives underground. Please feel free to call me Dorn.

　The one who called himself Dorn, who was clad in a cloth of beast's skin and carried a staff in his hand that held magical power.
　And his face, coming out of the cloth, was a perfect skull.

　According to Dorn's story.
　He was a sorcerer who lived hundreds of years ago.
　He studied the magic of the demonic world as well as the magic of the human world and the magic of the heavenly realm, but at some point, when his body began to die, he tried immortality magic on himself and became an undead due to his success.
　He created a closed space deep in the cave where he could not be disturbed by anyone and continued to study magic for a long time.

　The place where he created the closed space is the cave that Sarah chose as her home afterwards, the place that collapsed due to Sarah's outburst.
　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Well, it's been a long time since I've gone to collect magical plants and magical stones, but I was surprised to see that the other side of the doorway was filled with earth and sand.
　Saying that, Dorn rattled his clattering face bone, as if it were a skeleton.
"It just so happened that a bone man (skeleton) smashed through the earth and sand on the way to that lab... and that's how I met Dorn.
Oh no, I thought about smashing it with my magic, but if I broke it badly enough, it could have fallen down even more, so I'm glad I did.
　Then they laugh at each other.
　Dorn is still just clattering his bones.

　Two men who met at a drilling site.
　So when Sarah told him about the recent situation in this vicinity, Dorn learned that this area, once a forest at the foot of a volcano, had been turned into a small frontier city.
I have been working on this for a long time. I would be happy to give this magic a try.
　Saying that, Dorun clatters his bones.

　The great sorcerers of the dead (elderliches) that I know are usually a type of dead monsters that rarely appear in desolate graveyards and the like, and they have powerful magical powers and a strong desire to exacerbate the evil of living things, and they try to destroy every living thing they come across.

　With this knowledge, I was slightly wary of Dorn.

　As we talked about this and that, I found that Dorun was quite different from the average dead man great magician (Elder Rich), and he clearly possessed the memories of his life and maintained the same intentions as he did back then.
''Since you are in a position where you are forced to always consider the safety of your people, it is natural for you to be wary of me, a dead man you have never met before.
　What do you think?　In the meantime, how about they hire you on a trial basis?
　Dorn offers to do so.
　
　The magic workshop that Erdena manages is chronically short on labor, and I told her that she might be very grateful if she could help out there.
'Magic stone generation?　And using a skeleton bone?　I don't have much experience with this, so I'm very interested in it.
　And since he was very much on board, he was asked to enter Eldena's magic workshop as a trial for now.

　This Dorn.
　Being undead, he didn't need to take a break at all, so he was able to work 24 hours a day, all the time.
　Just like Sarah's summoning of skeletons, several types of summoning magic can be used, and in addition to skeletons, it is also possible to create harpies and dead knights.
　Unlike Sarah's summons, the demons summoned by Dorn were able to work in the daytime, so while working in the magic workshop, he also summoned and dispatched workers to the civil engineering work place.

　Dorn's magic was given to Erdena.
''Well Dorn's knowledge of magic is mainly pretty old magic, but it's all pretty substantial. I'd rather be taught.
　I've heard it said that he is such a good teacher.
　When it comes to this, it's only natural that I want to study under him
　I'm thinking of asking for help next time when the work at the magic workshop is on track.

　By the way, I found Dorun before I introduced him to everyone, Lil Pop, the apprentice guard.
"Senior undead in the city!　And in the middle of the day?
　He fired his magic gun, no questions asked.
"Well, my lord. I was delighted to receive a rousing welcome from the lovely young lady, but the rousing spirit was so intense that I was about to ascend into heaven.
　Saying that, it was Dorun, who was clattering the bones of his face.

　After Dorun joined the frontier small city of Liberty, the one thing that was helping besides the magic workshop was the guard department.
　
　According to the head of the guard, Googus.
　Recently, on the outskirts of Liberty, there have been many incidents of raids on fields by undead monsters in the southern part of the city, but due to the vastness of the farmland and the overwhelmingly small number of guards compared to the newly added territory, the defeat of such undead monsters has been slow, I heard.

Which one of us would you like me to try to convince?
　When Dorn went to the farm, all the undead that had been haunting the farmland disappeared, and the damage to the farmland was completely eliminated.

It's nice to be of service to the people.
　Then he was a dorn, clattering the bones in his face.

　Although there are still a lot of problems.
　Thus, another one ... one?　One? .........Well, thanks to the addition of such friends, I was relieved to see that the problems were being solved, albeit a little, thanks to the addition of such friends.
