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

Episode 84: Wise Men Watch Their Subdivisions Grow

Between glances.

I go through a pile of reports.

I feel that there have been particularly many reports lately.

It looks like a secret detective is straining.

I try not to miss a little bit of information.

(Struggling in an inexorable way is a very good thing)

As things stand, I don't hear stories about secret detectives being caught or their identities being exposed.

It was just a very talented person.

I think there is no problem because of this.

There was Luciana by my side.

She does paperwork in front of the desk.

You are contributing to reducing my burden at all.

It was concurrent and had also produced covert related instructions.

Luciana, the Tower of Command, is capable, so can his men's snitches.

(Still, you've only become famous during this sight...)

I look around at the growing number of desks and filing cabinets.

With the passage of the month, it was halfway into an office.

It's so big that it's user-friendly.

Currently, there are no outsiders visiting.

I was starting to work here naturally, using very little of my private room.

Thirty days early from the murder of John Doe.

Changes are taking place around the world.

The first to be mentioned would be the Empire.

The empire, wiped out by the mad Great Spirit, was paralyzed in its functioning as a nation.

They say one nobleman after another is in exile to another country without a leader answering.

It is even being invaded by other countries, eating a thousand pieces of territory and shrinking.

The shadow formerly known as the mighty nation was lost and is now almost doomed.

The demon kingdom has also attacked several times to seize adjacent territory.

There will be no more regression by the Empire.

It's destined to disappear from the map sooner or later, even if you leave it alone.

All that is left is to be taken away by another country.

Let us say that the war nation, made up of acts of aggression, deserves its end.

Changes are also remarkable in the Magic Country, which just fought the Demon King's Army the other day.

The damage caused by the battle in the capital was immense, and this one was practically devastated.

They still haven't got a purpose to rebuild.

There is also an attack by the Demon King's Army, but the biggest cause would be the giant Golem.

John Doe's invented final weapon engraved the capital with indelible claw marks.

It's a weapon of that size.

Probably manufactured with State aid.

Neither the people involved must have thought it would turn out that way.

The upper echelons of the Magic Country underestimated the dangers of the giant Golem.

I understood how much power I would gain and I had received all of that positively.

Driven by greed, he was blind.

Currently, the Magic and Quorum Army had been invaded by the Holy Wand Nation.

This is where the Holy Wand Nation, which took advantage of the devastation of the capital, set itself up.

I guess you wanted to take advantage of this to regain your strength.

Once upon a time, due to the battle against me, the Holy Wand Nation has lost the Virgin and the main army.

The damage has also been healed, which seems to have stood in the way of this invasion.

The opponent Magic Country was resisting with residual force.

Of the remaining territories, a large city is laid down in the capital to restart.

When we fought John Doe, the leaders survived, so we were able to respond quickly.

Neither did this one pay particular attention to the life and death of the leaders.

Because John and the secret stone were paramount at the time.

If even extreme technical skills were lost, the Magic Country was not a major threat.

The Cane Nation and the Magic Country will continue the war for a while.

I can't look at this.

My hope is to stop human strife.

The situation in both countries is in brilliant contradiction to that.

Say, I don't want to imitate having either shoulder.

We therefore decided to adopt a compromise proposal.

In the near future, huge walls and trenches will be formed between the two countries.

Doing so prevents them from physically invading.

It would have been possible for me to achieve it in one effort.

Destroy more nearby cities and demand sacrifice to the Demon King's Land from both countries.

Both countries should think they don't want to inspire the Demon King.

They have a full taste of what happens if they are hostile.

And, inevitably, attention will be directed at me.

It will no longer be the case that we are invading each other's countries, including the demands of sacrifice.

Externally, it is a diagram that demon kings adore defeated countries.

First of all, no doubt, the Demon King will have an evil impression.

I can make that threat known again.

If you act so despicably, you will not understand my true purpose either.

Various advantages are inherent.

This obstruction was proposed by Luciana.

It was with my hope and purpose that she thought.

Luciana was fit to make these kind of leaps.

It unfortunately demonstrates the wisdom of the Four Kings era.

I was tormented scatterly at the time, but when I was on my side, I was reliable on this.

"... Hmm"

As I read the report, I needed relevant material.

For once, I wanted to refer to past cases.

Failure to perform such confirmation causes problems in unexpected situations.

It was an unnegligible part.

When I rise from my chair, I speak to Luciana, who works silently.

"I'm going to the library"

"Oh, then I have a book I want you to borrow at last..."

Luciana raised her face, citing several titles of the book.

I remember them and nod.

"Okay. Wait a minute."

"Thank you, Demon King Sama. Nice to meet you."

After the exchange, I move to the library in the castle.

There was a client there.

I turn my back to the two of them.

"Discover the object - confirm the lack of height when acquiring it. Request assistance."

"Which I'll take. Is this book okay?

"No. Two books to the left."

In front of a bookshelf covering one side of the wall, a blue light mannequin was stretching out his back.

It is a split of the Great Spirit.

Standing beside it is Grom.

When he grabs the book on the high steps, he gives it to the split.

"Is there anything else you'd like to read?"

"Start asking yourself questions of interest - decide to answer. I'd like a plant atlas."

"Right or right. If it's a plant atlas, I know where it is. Follow me."

The gentle tone of grom turns this way with his heel back.

And the moment he saw me, he jumped up in a huge motion.

Grom is stunned as he hits the bookshelf behind him.

"Hey, come on! Demon King!?

"Thank you for your education. You seem to be enjoying yourself more than anything."

What a smiling sight.

I miss the split a lot.

I appointed Grom as an educator so that even if the split ran wild, the decision seemed right on another side.

"This is different... I (I) took care of this daughter by order, and never in that mood..."

Grom, who for some reason elucidates in a quick way.

A split pulled his sleeve like that.

"Detect errors in individual names - perform corrections. It's not this girl, it's Jura."

"Well, you did. Sorry......"

Grom, who was pointed out, lowers his shoulder and apologizes.

It won't be my fault you only seem depressed that you are a heart.

Speaking of which, you gave it a name.

I look back on what happened a few days ago.

Glom, who came to me in the middle of the night unknowingly, suggested naming the split.

He was concerned that he would remain anonymous forever.

It would be my downfall on this.

I was so distracted by other matters that I completely forgot.

I don't think it was weird to get a novel from the Great Spirit.

Having received the suggestion, I left the naming to Grom.

It was never a hassle.

While I was shallow about such things, I didn't flash a good name.

This is a story I heard later, but from that day on Grom said he'd been stuffing in the library and inquisiting his name.

I guess I was seriously trying to name him after him.

By Luciana's report I found out about it.

And after several days of reflection, the name of the split was decided upon by Yura.

I'm sure Yura was the character of some hero Tan.

I didn't ask why it came from.

Maybe next time I have time to ask.

"And by the way, what brings the Demon King here?"

Slightly suspicious groms change the subject plainly.

Reminded me of my original purpose, I answered it.

"I'm just here to pick up some material. You interrupted."

"There is no such thing! It is my daily happiness to see the face of the Demon King."

Grom responds with excessive diligence.

This is how it always is, too.

Not a rhetoric, he seriously thinks so.

Grom then glanced at Jura standing next to him.

"Yura, say hello to the Demon King."

"Accept Minister Bone's request - execute the greeting. Good morning, Master."

"... oh, good morning"

I respond with a few moments.

I learned a little snag in Yura's words.

I was wondering if I could touch it.

"………………"

It was clear that Grom was trembling.

My temper is seeping out and I am showing signs of disarray.

The flames in the orbit of one eye were gaining momentum.

Grom, who suppresses the passion, asks Jura with a sounding earthquake.

"- Yura. Did you just call me Bone Minister?

"Yes, I received an update instruction from the individual name Luciana. Currently registered under that name"

"That sacubus! Smaller imitations!

The moment I hear the answer, Grom gets furious.

He walked away with extreme killings and instantly disappeared from the library.

Books fell off some bookshelves due to the impact, so I'll keep them back on track with magic.

On the way to work, Yura came before me.

As she stared at this one, she expressed one question.

"Detect the anger of the bone minister - begin to investigate the cause. Master, I ask you to present a solution."

"... return to grom, not bone minister. That's all I need."

"Accept change instruction - update complete. henceforth, the bone minister will be called the individual name grom"

Yura speaks in a flat tone.

I had no words to say, and I just snorted.
