Chapter 554

Konolint, who was in the Allied Forces' base, was lured by Sarkergar and taken to the outskirts of the Allied Forces where Antirianus was waiting. After being taken there, it seems that Konolint was teleported by Mass Teleport while Antirianus was under hypnosis. Therefore, he didn't know any English. However, he didn't run away because he had a face-to-face relationship with Antirianus. He was kidnapped by Antirianus before. Therefore, he may not have a good face, but he has a face. Honestly, Konolint could have run away anytime if he wanted to. However, even though he was in a panic, he didn't run away. "So, what do you want from me?" Konolint knows that I am trying to deal with the Gate incident in my own way, although I haven't explained all the details. He is basically a good guy. He probably has a desire to help because he can't ignore a woman who came to him for help. Of course... if there was no reason for being a woman, he would never do it. "My superpower?" "Yes, I'm trying to get into a difficult place." Konolint is a fool. However, he is not that serious of a fool. In this situation, if I am hanging the magicians in the Yellow Palace, I can only know that I am trying to get into a place where I cannot enter with magic. "Temple? What are you going to do in the temple...? Ellen is in the base camp, isn't she?" He was a serious fool. He didn't even notice. Oh. It's not my place to say. I know I'm a bastard! In an instant, Olivia's expression cooled, and Konolint didn't even notice, shaking his head. "What am I going to do in the temple? I'm going somewhere else." "Somewhere else? Are you going to the palace...?" He finally realized where I was going, and his face turned pale. "Are you trying to drag me in there? I don't know what you're trying to make me do! I'm not doing it! I'm going back!" He tried to break free from Sarkergar and Antirianus' arms right away. "Mr. Lint, we don't really need your voluntary cooperation." Antirianus smiled at Konolint and spoke. No, what kind of nonsense is he going to say now! "Yes... yes?" "If we turn Mr. Lint's brain into a puppet that only listens to my words, he will be destroyed as a human being, but he will become an excellent tool..." "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not doing it!" He asked for help for a moment, but I don't plan to use that guy for the rest of his life! However, Antirianus had no intention of stopping. "Even if Konolint escapes from our grasp, where else can he go besides the Gradium Palace and the Allied Forces' base? The whole world has become a place where humans cannot survive. He may be able to run away now, but eventually, I will find Konolint. Ah, even if I cast a tracking spell now, it should be fine."

"Hee hee... Please spare me, sir!"

"I never said I would kill you. I'm just going to manipulate your brain a little bit..."

"Ah, stop it! I'll go crazy!"

Although Antirianus is evil in the sense that he enjoys tormenting and scaring his opponents rather than killing them, Konolint realizes that Antirianus plans to use him as a tool and tries to break free. However, Antirianus tells him that they don't need his voluntary cooperation. Konolint is forced to follow them due to Antirianus' coercion and Sarkergar's force. The group includes Olivia, Harriet, and Konolint, and they plan to rob the royal tombs and then the national cemetery. Antirianus is using Konolint as a tool and plans to rob the royal tombs and national cemetery with Olivia, Harriet, and Konolint. Despite Konolint's reluctance, he is forced to go along with the plan. The group is worried about being recognized and Antirianus has used magic to prevent detection. Konolint asks about Olivia and the group's plans, but they are hesitant to reveal their intentions. They believe that what they are doing will not be understood or accepted by others. Konolint is given the choice to remain ignorant or to know the truth and decides to go along with the plan. "I have to know...what we're doing."

"Is that so?"

"Then I have to know."

"We're going to the royal tombs and resurrecting the remains of the war heroes there with Death Knights."

"This is insane...!"

"Yeah, I knew you'd say that."

I quickly covered Konolint's mouth.

* * *

Just like when we first heard Olivia's proposal, Konolint's initial reaction was inevitable. But after screaming once, he couldn't say anything for a while. He and Harriet were probably thinking the same thing as me. After all, they are the dead. They are the traces of those who have already disappeared and we have used them. If we can save those who have died by using those traces, isn't that what we should do? Is that such a bad thing? They must be thinking such thoughts. But just like my decision not to turn Epinhaus and Royar into Death Knights, there is ultimately a contradiction. "Do you think this is right?" Konolint seemed to have no choice but to question it, not whether it could be done or not. Harriet couldn't come to a conclusion about this either, so she was silent. And I had nothing to say either. It's not hypocrisy or wickedness, it's just a terrible thing. I thought it might not be such a thing. "This is right." But it was Olivia who answered, not me. "The war was fought in the name of peace. These contradictory acts have been a long-standing tradition throughout human history." Olivia covered her mouth as if she were laughing at something. Maybe she's laughing at everyone in the world. But since Olivia herself is making Death Knights, she must be laughing at herself the most. "I think this is right. If it turns out to be wrong later, then it's all my fault. Let's just do it roughly." Olivia said she would turn everything upside down, but we could never think that way. "We're almost there." The walls of the Imperial Palace Emparatos were getting closer and closer. * * * Near the west of the Imperial Palace, we stood at the intersection of a deserted alley. There was a smell, but it wasn't as bad as the first place we entered. We didn't have a design of the Imperial Palace, but Harriet had a structure map drawn by Charlotte. "Charlotte can't even draw pictures?" Olivia looked at the well-drawn Imperial Palace map with her mouth open, even though it was roughly drawn. Indeed, Charlotte seemed to have negative thoughts about painting. We had talked about it at the Palace of Spring. Of course, this is unrelated to painting, but Charlotte drew the map accurately as if she were drawing it herself. She knows almost all the knowledge that doesn't need to be known, to some extent. ...What is a nobleman? When I think about it, it's fundamentally wrong for me to be a king. It's only natural that I'm not doing well! Konolint was taken aback by the mention of the missing princess, but it was not surprising since it was a well-known fact that she disappeared during her execution. Charlotte's map was very detailed, including the location of the central palace Tetra and the seasonal palaces in each direction, as well as the surrounding area of the royal tombs, the buildings attached to each palace, and even the tram route and the location of the palace guards' barracks. Olivia was surprised by the accuracy of the map and confirmed that Charlotte knew about their plan. The group decided to move at night and try to dispel the magic lock on the entrance to the royal tombs. If that failed, they would have to find a way to sneak in during the next day when the tombs were open. Haryett suggested using force to break in, but Olivia preferred a quieter approach. Of course, breaking through a wall or window is easier than opening a door, but isn't that the case with any house? If quietly entering is impossible, then enter noisily even if it leaves some traces. Haryett looks at Konolint, who has taken on the easiest role, as the most important role now. Konolint will send the three of them beyond the castle walls, and Olivia will use all the magic related to hiding and disguising. Konolint is surprised by the mention of the missing princess, but it is a well-known fact that she disappeared during her execution. The chapter sets the stage for the group's upcoming mission and highlights the different approaches and personalities of the characters involved. Translation: "They resurrect the remains of heroes as Death Knights by robbing the royal tomb. You know this is a serious crime that will go down in history, right?" Konolint chuckles at my words. "But history has to keep going, doesn't it?" "....Yes, I suppose so." Everyone grows. It's clear that it's not just their own will, but also the influence of others and their environment. In the end, there was no choice but to laugh bitterly."
