"Shishou! Good morning!

"Oh, good morning, Wolfe.

Wulfe's cheerful greeting from this morning, and the fact that it's been a long time since we've seen each other, makes me feel that her cheerfulness has increased by several percent. As I'm preparing breakfast at Iliad's house, I'm reminded that I've come back to Taze.

"Shishou, I want to help you with something!

Shishou, I need your help! Oh, by the way, I haven't seen Harkdock. Did he have a drink or something?

Yes, he was having a drinking contest with Lakra yesterday. That's when Ekduik and the others came and knocked me out!

I'm sure you've heard that Ao and Eckdruk ate at Dog Bone after Purple kicked them out. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this. Well, despite his strong face, Godz is a kind man, and I guess he's taking care of me in his own way.

While I was thinking about this, the landlord showed up. There was no sign of yesterday's grumpiness.

"Good morning, you two.

"Good morning, Ilias!

It's been a long time since I've seen these two faces, but there's something about them that makes me not feel that way. I've heard a good deal about the results of their training, but I'm glad to see that their personalities have not changed in their daily lives. If both of them were to become like monks, they might end up indulging Lakra even more.

In addition, Lakra herself finally showed up a while after we started eating. She took a nap after returning from Trinh, and was the first to fall asleep after returning from Dog Bone.

After eating breakfast, we gathered in the conference room of Taze's castle to begin our strategy meeting for the attack on Serende. With the use of a communication crystal prepared by Masetta, the Gold, Pope Eupalo, King Zenotta and King Talma are in a position to listen to this discussion.

I'm sure you've already heard about the developments so far, but we've succeeded in taking out all of the strongholds that Nektohar was using as a front, including the one in Trinh. The only thing left to do is to hunt down the ringleaders hiding in the Serende homeland. I would like to thank the representatives of each country for their cooperation.

"No need for such preamble. I don't need that kind of preamble. It's just uncomfortable for me when you go on and on about things you don't want to talk about.

...... You're in front of representatives of many countries. You should at least greet them.

I'm not sure I agree with King Garne, but it would be helpful if you could speak plainly.

King Zenotta and the Gold have a different kind of casual approach than Marito. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

"...... I see. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. First of all, there is a bastard named Tudori. He has a talent for secrecy, and the buildings and places he has been involved with cannot even be discovered by ordinary people. In fact, there have been basements and bases in Trinh where similar measures were taken, but none of them could even be approached without a special key that Tudori is believed to have made.

It's a bit of a dead end at that point, isn't it? I'm sure you're aware of that.

I'm not sure what to make of this. It's not that he's incompetent, it's just that he's usually a spoiled old man and you feel a gap between the two.

It's true that different keys are used for different locations, but having obtained multiple keys, I have discovered a rule. The Tzadari probably have some sort of master key.

"Master ......?

"It's a key that can open all the locks he's made with it. When we examined the key that we recovered from Solide, we found that it has a mechanism that corresponds to a particular wavelength of magical power.

The following is a brief explanation, including the mechanism of the master key. The key had been crafted to accept four or five wavelengths. It reacted to the construction pins in the base or basement and became visible. By examining the wavelengths corresponding to the multiple keys, he found a number of wavelengths in common.

In other words, Tudor created a covert base by combining randomly selected wavelengths from several prepared in advance. Completely different wavelengths would have better cloaking power, but the wavelengths prepared are all common. What this means is that Ts'douari possesses a master key that allows him to enter all of his hideouts with a single key.

"I don't know, but if we take that master key, we can attack any of their strongholds?

Yes. Then I analyzed the key I recovered from Trinh and asked the Great Sage Balastus to create a key for me.

This key has all the wavelengths of magic that the recovered key corresponds to, as well as multiple wavelengths that may be used in other ways based on the way those wavelengths are created. This key is similar to the master key that I prepared based on Ts'doari's habits. The accuracy of the wavelengths is guaranteed by the Great Sage Balastos.

"You have predicted the wavelength of magic that is not used in Trine. But if they use a different wavelength of magic than you predicted, won't the key work?

"I'm confident about that. I know exactly what Ts'doari's habits are.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. If a product is made by a manufacturer, it will have its own personality, but if it is made by an individual, it will have its own personality. Tsdoori's key also had many elements that could be read as the personality of the person who made it.

This is what really makes you a monster. ......

The next thing to consider is the direct interference of the bastard around Nektokhar. At this point, the man we should be most wary of is called Arkreal.

You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life. He's an opponent that Duvraeori can't seem to stop fighting against. The more you hear, the more terrifying he is.

The more I hear about him, the more terrifying he seems. Is there anything you can do?

'It's probably impossible even if you ask me to defeat him. There is a limit to the number of opponents that Arcreal can deal with. As long as we can buy enough time, the rest of us will be able to reach Nektohar.

I don't think one or two tricks will be enough to defeat an opponent who has the same level of battle sense as a legendary hero. However, Ark Real has one body and can't deal with all the people at once. The important thing here is how many forces should be deployed against Arcturial. If there are too few, they will catch up with them after the stallers are defeated. If there are too many, there will not be enough manpower for Nektokhar and Raheit.

"But just because we've defeated Nektokhar doesn't mean that Arcturial will stop, does it?

This is not a game that ends when the general is defeated. Naturally, if Nektokhar and Ritual are defeated, Arctreal will try to avenge them.

"After we finish off Nektokhar, we will flee with all our strength.

"I've never heard of escaping with all our might before. ......

"Arcreal's fighting ability is out of the ordinary, but his other talents are the same as those of an ordinary person. We have friends who excel in escape techniques so we should be able to manage to escape.

As for Arcreal's inability to kill Duvraioli, there was a great possibility that Arcreal had gone easy on him. However, when he confronted Exoik and the others, he could not find them hiding nearby. It is inconceivable that he missed Morari and Jastet, who were also bastards, while they were captured. Based on this conclusion, we can conclude that it is quite possible to escape from Arkreal with the backup of Ekuik and Duvraeori.

'But there are other troublesome bastards, aren't there? Are you okay?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. It's not like he's a great fighter either.

However, considering the possibility that Rahite is preparing to intercept him, it is unlikely that he will be able to win easily. If you're able to get around him, you'll be able to buy yourself a good amount of time.

King Zenotta was the only one asking questions, but another voice came up here. It's a crystal connected to King Talma, King of Turrin.

I don't know much about him, but I do know the former guildmaster of Morgana, Lythial-Zentry. I do not know much about him, but I do know the former guildmaster of Morgana, Ritual Zentri. He was an adventurer who was known to have a keen eye for people's qualities. I've heard that his eyes can even read people's minds.

I've heard that he can even read people's minds." "To be honest, we're at a disadvantage when it comes to reading each other. I'm not sure what to do," he said.

I thought of various strategies to avoid losing the reading contest, but in the end, all I could think of was that it would end within the expectations of Ritual. If that's the case, then it's useless to play the game of reading each other.

Isn't that too weak? Or are you prepared to pretend that even that's not a problem?

"I'm not dressed up anymore. Thank you, sir. I'll take care of it.

It's not that I was unbeatable in Japan. In fact, I've lost more times than I've lost in total. So it's not the first time I've faced an opponent who's higher ranked than me and who can see right through me.

From birth, Rytiaru has been blessed with the ability to discern the true nature of his opponents. He may have been defeated by differences in position and ability, but he has rarely been completely defeated in a reading contest. That's where I can take advantage of you.

"I see. That's fine. If we didn't have a chance to win in the first place, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

"Yes, we're making a lot of preparations for Serendipity. The only reason you're here is to share the gravity of the situation.

"...... Hmm, carry on.

"First of all, let's talk about what Nektokhar is all about. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

After Nektohar left the service of the Blue Demon King, he came into contact with Ritual and Raheit. The fact that he had a collaborator showed that he was beneficial to them.

"The purpose. I knew about the process of collecting bastards, and that they were trying to overthrow the monarchies of various countries, but I was curious about the future. It's not like you're trying to build a nation of elected officials, is it?

"No, I don't think so. The talents of the bastard will not be passed on to his own children. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

"The work of Yugura. Surely there are those who would like to have it. But it's a process, isn't it?

Yes. Nektokhar once attacked Taze with a demon in pursuit of a bastard found by the Blue Demon King. He wanted the bastard's talent, even if it meant exposing the fact that the demon race existed.

"And what is that talent?

"The talent to interfere with reason.

He turns his gaze slightly towards Marito. He glances slightly at Marito, who is also in the room, but I have to explain without mentioning that.

I don't get it. What does it mean to interfere with reason?

"Seiya Yukura has given the Demon Lords transcendent powers. He has also created many forbidden spells including resurrection magic. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the best way to use it.

It's a talent that allows you to create the forbidden magic of resuscitation. ......

It's not limited to magic, but could also interfere with individual talents.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to make of that.

This is the story behind the creation of the bastards, the ones with partial talents. It is not a question of why they divided their talents one by one. It's because they added talents one by one, that they came up with a specification that would allow those talents to flourish in future people as well.

Yes. Shigeya Yukura was not an all-powerful person from the beginning. All the talents that Seiya Yukura could have were created from that one talent.

If all the talents of Shigeya Yukura had existed from birth, he would have existed as a great man who would leave his name in the history of Japan. But such a fact cannot exist. Although I am a Japanese, I have never found such a man's name in history textbooks.

Was he hiding his talent? No. There is no way that someone who creates a nuisance to the world like a demon king could have such a talent and still keep his head down in human society. Seiya Yukura must have been just an ordinary person before he was transferred to another world.

It's possible that when Seiya Yukura moved to this world, he somehow obtained a way to increase his talent. That is the talent to interfere with reason. Seiya Yukura continued to increase his talents, and eventually became a hero.

I'm not sure what to make of it. No, it's possible?

"Seiya Yukura must have been given that talent by someone. That's why the idea of increasing the talent came up, to instill it in others. If it is given, it can be given to others as well. The talent to interfere with reason is just one of them.

"What the hell kind of being is ......?

I'll get back to you on that. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. However, there is no doubt that Nektokhar is trying to become an equal or superior to the Blue Demon King.

The Demon King: ...... or ....... If what you say is true, we have to stop Nektohar's goal as soon as possible. How much time do you think we have?

I'm afraid that Nektohar and his team have already completed most of the construction of the resuscitation magic.

"What the hell?

King Zenotta is making an interesting noise. I'm sure you'll be surprised to find out that they've already developed the reanimation magic that you need to stop.

I once read a book about a blue demon lord who was given the power of annihilation. I've read a book about a blue demon lord who was given the power of annihilation, and even though I couldn't read what it said, I was able to learn necromancy, which is a degraded version of that power. In the same way, it is thought that there is a similar backward compatible magic for resurrection magic. And in Nektokhar's company, there is one bastard who is skilled in the handling of souls.

"A man named Lahayt? ......

Yes. If you examine Raheit's talents, you should be able to learn how to interfere with souls. But Raheit left Nektokhar's side and has been working in the dark. That means he's done everything he could.

They got the knowledge of the groundwork for resurrection magic early on. It's not surprising that Nektohar, who has been studying magic under the Blue Demon King for a long time, has his hands in the construction of resuscitation magic. So why did he need the talent to keep looking for the bastard and interfere with reason?

"Then why haven't they created a Demon Lord?

I think it's because of the Colorless Demon Lord.

I've heard that the Colorless Demon Lord ...... exists to monitor the world through Yugra.

The Colorless Demon Lord is a kind of mechanism that warns and deals with those who violate the taboo. If Nektohar and the others try to complete the resuscitation magic straight away, the Colorless Demon King will be able to interfere with it.

If that's the case, there's no need to be concerned. ...... No, I see. So that's it. I'm sure you're not the only one.

I nodded to King Talma's words. But the other side can't see what we're doing.

According to that colorless bastard, after Seiya Yukura killed the Demon Lords once, he gave the colorless Demon Lord the task of watching over the world. After that, he dabbled in space-time magic himself and was killed by a being called God.

In short, after creating the Colorless Demon King, Shigeya Yukura interfered with the contraindications of the system to prevent it from reacting.

In order to prevent the people of this world from reaching out to the abomination, Yukura created the existence of the Colorless Demon King. The Colorless Demon King only deals with those who are caught in the surveillance net prepared by Shigeya Yukura. But a loophole in that surveillance net is the talent to interfere with reason.

The colorless demon king systematically detects those who have violated the taboo and then punishes the target. But what happens if the system doesn't detect it? The Colorless Demon Lord is not allowed to wield its power freely, and cannot take hostile action on its own. He can only provoke with his irritating attitude, and those who are undetected by the system will not be attacked by the Colorless Demon Lord.

If Nektohar completes his research, he will be able to use resurrection magic without the deterrent of the Colorless Demon King. ......

I'm not sure how much research is going on here. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Lytiar had read that I was going after Torin. Even so, he left Arkreal on the Serende side because he had to protect Nektohar in Serende at all costs. The reason why Nektohar couldn't leave Serende was because his research was in its final stages.

"Mmmm ...... are those who want to overthrow the country. If such a person becomes a demon lord and creates a demon world, we could be repeating the history of the past. ......

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I'm not sure what to make of it.

In the event that Rahite and the others cause a disturbance in Serende, we should be prepared to deploy holy knights in Mejis as well.

At this time, a voice echoed from the crystal that was connected to Pope Eupharo. The voice was more grave than what I usually hear. I'm not sure if he's taking this seriously or if it's something else. .......

I'd like to ask the holy knights to take control of the other strongholds in Serende, is that possible?

"Of course. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. There's no reason to spare your help for that.

"Thank you for ....... I'll let you know how to make the key for the Tzadari later, so please make arrangements to duplicate it.

For many countries, Nektokhar was nothing more than a demon tribe plotting terrorism and a dangerous person to watch out for. But now that they were aware of the fact that he was a threat to the world that could not be overlooked, they would be able to work together quickly even if he escaped.

I did not include the Serende representative in this meeting. We did not include the representative of Serende in this meeting because there was a risk that they would act without waiting for our preparations because of their own problems if they knew that we were researching to become a demon lord in their country. When you arrive in Serende, the first thing you need to do is to negotiate with the representative of the country. ...... When I think of Prince Wachekt, I feel a little worried.

Well, it seems that we've managed to bring the representatives of each country to a common understanding this time, so we'll just have to keep up the good work. While I was thinking about this, the guard of Tarz Castle came running in with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

"Excuse me, sir! Your Majesty! You're in trouble!

What's going on? We're in the middle of an important meeting!

That's why the Demon Lord is ......!

This is a great way to make sure that you get the most out of your time with your family and friends.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

You're here! Hi, I'm Neil Ryates! To tell you the truth, my king is currently on his way to this castle! My king is currently on his way to this castle, so please prepare to entertain him as soon as possible! If you don't, you'll get me and everyone else killed! Really, I'll get caught up in this too, so please!

While everyone's face twitched thanks to the unheard of remark, only Lakra, who hadn't been listening to the conversation seriously, was sighing.
