The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression

After that, we toured the lab.

Each of the weapons captured, including the Magic Artillery, had been improved.

But they still have problems, and they say it's hard to put them into practical use right now.

They say the closest thing to completion is an iron cannon.

Still, there were signs that eventually they were going to be able to row into practical use.

The director also explained confidently, so no doubt.

There's no rush.

Weapons development was originally a longer-term plan, and we didn't even want to strengthen our forces as soon as possible.

I expect certain results from the personnel because I can take the time to do so.

There will be no good rushing it poorly.

The next in the weapons group was a large room.

The ceiling is higher than in the other rooms and most of the rooms consist of cages.

The finely demarcated cage occupied everything except the passage.

It is filled to the ceiling in such a way that it is stacked on many steps.

The iron lattice was stretched with multiple boundaries.

It is a mechanism by which an alarm sounds immediately if touched without authorization.

Still tightly enclosed.

There were groans coming from countless cages.

I'm no longer used to hearing it for me. It was the voice of a captive ghoul.

The ghouls in the cage lie in captivity.

Physical decay was not progressing, only relatively new individuals.

Few are indistinguishable from humans in the long run.

Here I was studying ways to get back from the undead to the living.

The undead, imprisoned in a cage, is an intelligence agent from another country.

Those who were sneaking into the king's capital chose to be the experimental benches because they thought it was unbearable to kill them.

The undead I keep is getting too corrupt to be a skeleton, so as for this one, it was just fine.

He wanted to try it first with a fresh undead, even if he wanted to return it to the living.

Each cage was affixed with metal bills.

Detailed terms by item are described there.

It shows you what kind of experiments you did with each undead.

To see them, they have a pretty elaborate examination.

I can see the enthusiasm and anguish of the researchers.

"I'm trying various medications and sorceries, but you can't find any help. Transformation from living to immortal is considered irreversible, so I knew it would overshadow..."

The director looking around clouds his words.

He's falling off his shoulder, but that's all he's having trouble with.

I also know how impossible it is.

So I don't imitate blame.

At present, it is nearly impossible to restore the fundamentally transformed organism to normal.

It was almost common sense, even in the laws of magic, which gave rise to a wide variety of phenomena.

"I don't mind prioritizing other research and development, but don't be discouraged. Keep digging."

"Yes! I get it!

The Director replies by stretching his spine to my instructions.

I don't really want to hunt him down, but when I can give up, I'm in trouble.

This will be just about right.

(Maybe I should explore it independently, too)

It's a way to get the undead back to the living, but it's not something I'm researching for use.

Deeply linked to the valley of the dead, I will probably remain immortal no matter what I do.

Its nature is a powerful curse in itself, and it will not be like how it can be broken.

That is not a stage where researchers can manage by squeezing their wisdom.

Apart from my circumstances, it would be useful to establish this technology.

Various applications can be considered.

A man like Dorda, for example, might be able to return him to man.

Formerly a man who was a rare pirate.

It's better to regain your personality and make full use of your abilities around it.

"I wonder what happens when I become a living person."

Grom groans at the mundane applause.

It's a hard question.

In his case, the history to his birth is too complicated.

He synthesized massive amounts of undead in my power and was born as a powerful immortal who hosts the memory and experience of the deceased.

With enormous temper and magic, Grom is second only to me.

Honestly, I'm not talking about irreversible places.

It's not the same scale that an individual transforms.

It would be impossible first of all to keep the grom alive.

(Will you be sure to extract your soul and transfer it into living flesh)

Still requires quite advanced surgery.

It was entirely of a different lineage from the research carried out in this room.

There will be no great transformation of him because there is no need to bother making Grom a living being.

Anyway, as no progress has yet been made on this study, it will be a form of watching in the long run.

Fortunately, I have no trouble replenishing the undead.

That would have been nice if it had been conducted in parallel with other studies.

After touring the indoor cage, I express my hope to the director.

"It's time for me to show you an example study"

"... I understand. This way."

When the director looked a little awkward, he went out of the room early.

Start leading silently from there.

Me and Grom follow her.

On the way, Grom asked me in a whisper.

"Something doesn't seem to float, but what is the study of examples"

"You'll see. It's not much fun though."

If you say it in terms of fun or not, the weapons group would be the best.

Grom had an exciting view of them in the middle of development.

He also listened enthusiastically to the director's commentary and admired his desire to definitely recruit him into the Demon King's Army.

He liked the weapons operation so much.

Compared to those preliminary inspections, the research I'm going to look at now must be boring.

"We have arrived. Right this way."

The director stopped his leg in the deepest room in the lab as well.

The security posture of the magic props installed around the area is also particularly strict.

You won't be able to break in without permission first.

The director opened the door through multiple certification facilities.

We follow her indoors.

That was the same room as before.

There are a number of cages, and there are people peeking inside.

One difference would be that it is not undeniably the undead that are in the cage, but the corpse.

Many are completely white boned or in a rotten state.

There were also pieces of flesh floating in the liquid filled in the glass container.

Not a very pleasant sight.

There were a small number of people in the room.

I am immersed in the work without ever turning my face to this one.

I wonder how focused you are.

Some were writing down documents, while others were examining corpses.

Grom whispers as he sees them.

"Ko, this is no way..."

"It's a study to resurrect the dead."

I say without emotion on board.

Apparently, it was as expected, and Grom shuts up in a strange way.

"How's it going?"

"As the report suggests, we have not yet seen any signs of realisation, and it is the current situation that we have not grasped anything. I'm so sorry......"

"Never mind. I have no choice."

I say a word of comfort to the director who bows his head.

It is a true miracle to bring the dead back to life.

Rise by undead, if I say so, is a dispute.

It just transformed into another being: the immortal, meaning completely different from resuscitation.

It should be far more difficult than the act of returning the undead to the living.

It would be natural not to have a goal of realisation.

If it's going to be easy in the first place, I'm doing it.

Because we can't, this is how we get experts and facilities to do research.

With regard to this study, it was intended to keep an eye on the progress made on a yearly basis.

It is so difficult, and at the same time it has a difficult value to replace.

Then me and Grom left the lab.

Everything I wanted to check could go around.

I would like to make regular inspections in the future and also listen to the opinions and requests of the site.

The personnel over there are excellent, so I'm sure they will have the results I want.

On my way home, I notice Grom's restlessness.

I've been softening for a long time now.

Speaking of something, he repeatedly interrupts on the brink.

Is that what you want to ask me?

Somehow I guess, but I won't touch it from here.

Because it's not about taking the initiative.

He thinks it's okay to end up without Grom touching him here.

But he cut out reluctantly after troubling himself.

"Um, Demon King. Resurrection of the dead is still..."

"You're right. It's not wrong."

I answer the eating mood.

What Grom is trying to say is definitely about that guy.

He knows how this happened to me.

If you were to consider the resurrection of the dead in it, you must be associated with that person first and foremost.

In my ability, I couldn't bring that guy back to life.

She refuses to be immortal.

Maybe it's my psychological problem, but either way, it's no different to reality.

So I decided to explore another way.

Beside weapon development, researchers were ordered to resuscitate the dead.

It's an absurd suggestion, but they are faithfully pursuing their research.

"I'm sure I'm obsessed. You think I'm stupid?

"No, there is no annihilation! I (I) do my best for the wishes of the Demon King!

Grom grips his fist and responds forcefully and instantly.

It wasn't a fixed word.

He sincerely thinks so.

I once again thanked the loyalists for their willingness.
