Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

"Captain Remul. Investigation reports have been received for the villages. They asked me to visit a nearby church, send a priest to the village, and secretly explore the villagers' situation."

I see. So, how'd it go?

"The captain was as expected. The village is even normal. No one was undead. And we do have testimony that a gray-haired young man was in the village for a while."

Still...

I nodded to Lieutenant Polmi's report.

We are now working on gathering information on that gray-haired undead in the King's City of Tana Kingdom.

Even here in the kingdom of Tana, our Saint Melt religion is widely held.

Therefore, it was possible to investigate matters within the kingdom while staying in the King's City by using unique information networks such as churches and believers.

... the kingdom should have investigated the village.

Apparently, rumors have already spread to neighboring cities, and even if the state had ordered the lord, the leaders were afraid and told not to go to the investigation as one.

The same is true of adventurers.

As a matter of fact, the church initially proved difficult, but I was able to investigate the rumors by insisting that they were wrong.

Well, some devout followers would be delighted and brave enough to investigate if God commanded, even if it really turned into an undead cave.

"But why did you get the false information that the villagers were undead?

"It seems that the adventurers who came at the request of the village suddenly disappeared."

"Something went wrong...? Anyway, you're not in the village right now, are you?

"Yes. According to the villagers, they headed for King's Landing... I don't know where I am right now, but I left the village about a week ago."

There are no trains running in this country, and the fastest way to get around is by carriage.

So if you go down the street, it's about time you got to King's Landing.

"But he's probably on foot... no, he's going faster than a carriage? It doesn't mean I haven't stopped by somewhere along the way...."

Anyway, we need to catch him as soon as possible.

It would be quicker to borrow the help of this country here.

It was then that Lord Bite, the prime minister of this country, came to us.

He's a bit of a bad character, but he's still in his 30s, but he's only on the number two seat in the country, and he's a very good man.

"Lord Remul. I have a report. A young man called No-Life King was seen in the city of Attila in our country."

"Really, Lord Bite?

"Yes, that was also yesterday."

Attila is about three days by carriage from King's Landing.

Given the speed at which he has travelled so far, his speed is at best about that of a carriage.

If you keep the pace, it will be calculated the day after tomorrow that you reach King's City here.

"Have you told His Majesty about it?

"I haven't reported it yet. I can tell you it's going to be a panic."

"That's right...."

Such an exchange made the hallway suddenly noisy.

Looking at Mr. Bite and going to the place together,

"Get out of there! I'm leaving this country as soon as I can!

"Heh, Your Majesty, calm down! How dare the King escape this affair!

"I don't know that! If we don't get out of here soon, we'll all be undead!

So what we witnessed was King Leonhard screaming loudly.

Judging from the situation, it appears that someone misinformed His Majesty of the information just given to him in the unknown place of Lord Bite.

"... Your Majesty"

"Whoa, part-time! I already heard what you said! Whatever you say, I'll run away!?

His silent fist pierced the dove tail of King Leon Hurd.

"Aguu...."

The giant body of King Leon Hurd collapses as his consciousness is mowed.

You just punched me completely!?

Is it okay to wave violence at the King!?

To spare my surprise, Lord Bite ordered his servants who were in the immediate vicinity.

"Bring His Majesty to the throne. And keep it in chains or something so you can't move from there."

Ha!

At the behest of Lord Bite, the great body of King Leon Hurd is carried.

"... I'm sorry. I've shown you something ugly."

"No...."

Anyway, let's continue with what we just saw.

"As I said the other day, we'll handle the no-life king. I promise I won't let you step into King's Landing."

"Are you so confident?

"Oh, this spear will definitely purify any undead."

I told him with my chest full.

... it didn't actually work at all.

It doesn't matter because we're not fighting anyway, we're persuading them.

It will be difficult to convince you that the undead is not dangerous here and now.

Therefore, it is decided that it is better to leave everything to yourself without discussing the details.

"I see. I will trust you and entrust you with everything."

"I want you to leave it to me."

"Even though I said that, can we really talk about it..."

When I returned to the room I was renting, I suddenly felt anxious.

I tried to talk to that undead once, and I failed.

Given that encounter, there is no doubt that the words don't make sense.

You seem to understand what we're saying.

Then why did that undead escape?

I don't think that being so immortal feared being crushed.

I was about to be attacked unprotected.

Yes, it is.

When I think about it, he tried to escape after he became one-on-one with me.

Are you afraid of me...?

No, I can't think of any reason why I'm the only one who's afraid of the undead.

"... anyway, first show me that there is no hostility here, and then..."

Tongton.

The door of the room is knocked, and I am returned to reality from the bottom of my mind.

"Remulu, you have a visitor."

"A customer?"

The expression made me feel uncomfortable.

If it were a human being in this country, I wouldn't say that.

While tilting my neck, I opened the door.

He was there with one of the officials under Lord Bite.

Long time no see, Remul.

"......!?

I lose my word to the right person.

"Do you know each other? All of a sudden, I came to the royal palace and wanted to see Rimulu-sama."

Instead of surprising me, the official tells the story.

But it didn't reach me at all.

The official left and she entered the room.

Lower your hips gracefully to the sofa without hesitation.

So at last, I was able to speak properly.

"Come, Knight Commander... why are you here...?

The mightiest Knights of the Order of Albert, the proud Salvation Army of Melt, led by the youngest of all generations.

That's the Knight Celestia in front of me right now.

Originally, I would not go to such a small country.

No, if I could think about it...

She answered my guess correctly.

"Why is that so? We're here to crush the no-life king that we're talking about."
