Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

Weren't you just up in your grave last night?

So, what?

Then how did the money! I didn't see it in the grave.

It's all hidden away somewhere.

No, it's like a memory from a past life.

Do you have it? The Great Code, or the Pirate King back home? Now we're going on a journey to find hidden treasure?

I've read most adventure books a few times.

I'm confident in you!

I feel excited.

Not that much. I have enough money to feed you for the rest of your life.

I eat a lot.

I had a bloody laugh. Once in a while, it might be good to go on an adventure like Rubia said.

Of course.

Once you're strong enough to protect her anywhere.

Eat a lot. Anyway, don't worry about the money. Just tell them to do their job.

The calculation of Ublam's hiding place alone is enough to cause a city. If you need more money there, you can bypass the assassination of the Emperor of Gizgerai and bring me a gold ingot.

‘Course, that's a dangerous choice. ’

“Well, don't worry about the money. ”

Rubia eventually passed it on to the tax collector, just like I said.

The tax man looks at Rubia with his eyes wide open.

“It's my job to worry about money. Are you serious?"

Tell me you mean it.

“I mean it. Hmmm! ”

“Very well. I'll look again after budgeting. ”

Further reports from the customs officials follow.

It may seem like a natural story, but from what I've heard, you seem to have far more accounting skills than me.

But I have no intention of killing a human to absorb the essence.

‘It won't be absorbed. ’

I have experienced it so far.

If my overall stats drop by more than me, they will not be absorbed by me even if I have certain skills.

Similar or slightly better absorption efficiency is poor

Only when you absorb those who are much stronger than me can you achieve so much that you can feel it.

"The stronger you get, the more skills you will face." ’

Of course, I have no intention of complaining. This skill alone allows me to come here.

While I was still thinking about it, the tax collector's report ended. Next was a dry, hard-looking sheriff's turn.

The sheriff opens his mouth, missing a few teeth, with torture marks on his face.

“I have the next report for you.

It's about women. They were taken out of the city. ”

Rubia.

^ 1?

‘Will there be a child? ’

You may have a familiar face.

After participating in the tournament under an alias, I recall a young human woman who the lord had brought to me. A child who trembled at my indifferent reaction.

When Lena took off her child's clothes and showed me her back, it was full of flesh tears with a whip.

Lena took care of it. ’

I would like to see for myself how things went before and after regression and how the world class changes.

But I've decided to give up.

To care about such things, there are many other things to do first.

Never mind. It's nothing.

Ah, yes! Okay, well, if you have anything you'd like to say, please let me know.

Yeah, it is.

The Sheriff looks carefully at Rubia and asks.

“How do you want to do that? ”

“Phew.”

Rubia sighs.

“Heal it first. Rest him.

They'll see if there's anything I can do to make it up to them in the interview. ”

“Next.

“Here. Erastor almost ruined it. ”

Rubia mutters.

The man who tried to kill her, Kirk, was a man who couldn't even take advantage of the city.

This operation would have ruined the city in less than three years.

The moment I visited because of the tournament, maybe it was the pinnacle of the Emerging Emergency Agency.

Of course, working hard brings two great disasters that they cannot help.

The first is war.

But no matter how we win the war against the Liberty League,

The second is the coming of the Demon King.

That's an event you'll never be able to handle on an Erast basis.

A small town like this will be trampled under the foot of the Demon King and destroyed at once.

We don't know how we're going to get away with just one Rubia.

But the hard-earned city...

Seeing the destruction, you feel bitter considering Rubia's shock.

Maybe it's because I've been thinking too much.

It was only later that I noticed the strange changing atmosphere.

“My lord.

The atmosphere in the conference room is unusual.

What is it?

Everyone's body is limping with fatigue, but they are still expressing emotion towards Rubia.

‘Was it satisfactory? ’

Obviously the first time Rubia and them had a formal meeting.

The executives must have been worried that she could pull it off.

It seems that Rubia has uncovered their worries and has done much better than expected.

Maybe the former lord Ray Kirk is too much of a piece of shit.

Rubia was great.

I also advised him in real time in the middle of meetings.

But even if it wasn't me, she was actually a ready lord.

The analysis of the Erasts was much more thorough and thorough than expected.

I don't know where I left that stupid look I saw at the graveyard.

‘Talent.

The sentiment of the executives.

I fully understand.

Bang!

The old chancellor tapped his chest with a big fist.

‘Most impressive.

He opens his mouth, expressing blood in his heart. One knee, naturally.

“During the meeting. I felt like I was meeting the deceased Earl. Again, a formal greeting. I pledge my allegiance to you, Chancellor Iliar! ”

“I'll do my best to be loyal! ”

“I'll do my best to be loyal. ”

Was he promised beforehand?

Everyone clenches their fists at their chest and looks at her on one knee.

Take it. It's a pledge of allegiance. Come on, now.

Yes.!

You urged Rubia. This is where she needs to be.

It's not like being humiliated and killed by humans like worms and rotting away in random ruins.

Rubia is proud to be where she is.

“Wake up, everyone. I'll try to be a good lord in the future. These are difficult times, so please help us a lot. ”

You're gonna help me, right?

You don't have to be with me. Shouldn't you have woken him up?

Th-that kind of joke is terrible! It was such a dreamy day. You're not really dreaming, are you?

Rubia looks up at the air and asks. He looks like he's going to cry strangely and tightens his lips.

"Maybe.

It was then.

Tiring, with a sound.

A translucent window over Rubia's head.

[Rubia's appeal has increased by 2!]

[Rule level has been created.]

[Current Ruling City Erast]

[Domination Lv.1]

[The level of rule is based on the progress of the territory and the trust of the people around you.

When you level up, you get a variety of effects.]

‘Is it a start?'

Living in Rubia as Lord Erast begins today.

All she has to do is do the right thing, let her choose. I intend to make them walk only in bright places.

There's nothing dirty to tell her.

I'll take care of everything.

A few moments later, executives who took an oath of loyalty retreated.

Only the escorts who the chancellor said could be trusted remained and guarded her room. I've confirmed there are no threats in the castle. I think it's okay to leave for a while.

Then get some rest.

Where are you going?

Take a walk.

_Ah? I was gonna have a death party tonight.

The poor color is pale.

Celebration party? I thought everyone got bit.

Both of you. I tried!

I don't know what the two of you were planning to celebrate, but Rubia's heart beats as they speak.

‘Maybe it's because I like it too. ’

Thanks to my years with her, I have gained a special favor.

I felt relieved to know what it was like to deceive her.

I'll be right back.

Interrogate Ray Kirk.

It can get a little messy, but it won't take long to process the facts.

??? Yes. I'll be waiting for you. You have to come!

I let her go, hiding in the shadows of the hallway, and walked out of the gates.

Huff.

The armor doesn't fit properly.

Maybe he took something too big.

‘It's better that Rubia bought it for me. ’

It wasn't custom-made, but surprisingly, Rubia tried to buy me the perfect suit of armor without a scratch.

Sledding is unusual.

After interrogating Ray Kirk, I'd like to ask her for some armor.

‘What you did today. One piece of armor would be worth it. ’

It was colder and darker than I thought. The wind blows and the trail of flooding is frozen solid. I thought it was a good thing Rubia was in a warm place in this weather.

It wasn't long before the prison.

“Hey, are you out again? Shouldn't we be inside for an hour? It's cold out there.”

“Phew! I'd rather be cold. I don't want you to hear me whimpering inside that maniac. It's completely ruined. ”

The guards chatter in front of the prison.

It's clear who's talking.

Pick!

I grabbed the back of the guards standing outside. Simply stun them all and step inside.

Moss gains

“Ugh. Ugh.

As the guards say, I hear groaning from the inside.

There is only one prisoner.

I killed the rest of them.

Ray Kirk is lying in prison with his arms and legs tied.

Fear and disbelief seem to bind him more tightly than a predator.

He opens his mouth, watching the door open.

“Me.! Are you here to save me?! Untie me. Untie me! ”

Who do you think I am? ’

In this way, the conversation may go a lot easier than I thought.

You don't even have to torture me.

In addition to his grunting screams, the prison is very quiet. It is a good environment to listen to stories.

‘Let me ask you something first.

I'm nervous about worms that are small on my neck. If you ask me about the Necron, I'll always be a blind, black viper and bite Ray Kirk's neck.

It's creepy.

Leaking information about the Necron will kill you. But even that didn't seem to concern the members.

‘Are you going to pick the heaviest mouths yourself?

Instead, I hear a lot of other things.

“Let me ask you something. We don't have to talk about Necron. ”

“Ah, yes! Yes, I understand! ”

“How did you become lord? ”

“You all know that. Me, too! I didn't want to be Lord either.

“No?”

“You didn't ask me to!

You killed your brother, be the lord!

Please save me again! ”

Who told you to do that? ’

He's not specific. But there's only one thing that comes to mind.

‘The Imperial Court.

“Yeah, you know who we are, right? ”

“Yes! Of course.

It was then.

- Yes, sir!

A sharp spear rises from the floor, piercing through the hardened stone.
