The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 214: Sage Thinks About Brave Men
A few days later, I was doing the administrative work as usual between the glances.
By separating them in the form of belonging countries, they shrunk their dominions and reduced chores.
Still, there's a lot to do.
Documents requesting my permission had arrived from all over the place.
Wherever possible, I leave it to my men, but the amount that deserves to be called busy comes in.
Through my eyes on the paperwork stacked at my desk, I digest it into the tunnel.
Along the way, I stopped.
(This is...)
Take a single document and keep an eye on it.
Luciana, who noticed how I was doing, asked me strangely.
"What's wrong?
I'm curious about the contents of this report.
I hand Luciana the paperwork.
Its content was about the voices of people everywhere.
Everything seems people are looking for a return of the brave.
They still take seriously the threat of the swelling Demon King Army.
Outside the continent, he said, there are similar reactions.
Everyone wanted the appearance of the brave, as they once did when the previous demon kings were crusaded.
The report describes the specific size and region of such voices.
Sometimes it's an event involving a brave man, and it seems to have gone around to me.
With a glimpse of the content, Luciana becomes a convincing face.
She came back with some ideas and some paperwork.
"Oh, the brave ones don't come back... do you really think they'll show up?
"It would be possible. Defeating the Demon King is always a brave man."
The resurgence of the brave is always assumed.
It was an enemy to the Demon King.
In fact, there have been times when brave men have awakened to my manifestation.
The young man, who was just a soldier, suddenly awoke to the power of the Holy Sword.
He became the first person I killed with the Sword of Shape.
The battle at the time, I still remember it well.
That's what's happened in the past, so it wouldn't be weird to have a second time.
But when you become brave enough to confront me today, you become a world-wide influential being.
If it emerges, it is very unobtrusive.
I can also think of the danger of becoming a new demon king and really destroying the world.
It will have to be wiped out immediately.
Luciana turned her attention to Grom, who works silently by her side.
She also talks in a chair.
"Hey, Bone Minister. What do you think?
"- It's a stupid question. There is no such thing as a brave man defeating the Demon King."
With the paperwork staring, Grom affirms.
When he stood up bravely, he made a declaration with his fist against his chest.
"At dawn, when the half-hearted have named the brave, let us deal with them immediately. It erases me so that I don't leave a piece of meat in the world."
"Haha, scary wow. In your case, I'm not kidding..."
Luciana shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head.
I was in agreement with her.
Grom will fight without hesitation even with his opponents.
And you must win as proclaimed.
"Demon King, I (I) am always ready! Even if it's the end of the earth, feel free to give me orders!
"... oh, I'm counting on you"
I am somewhat pushy and responsive to the grommets that stick out.
It's as powerful as if a brave man has already appeared, but naturally that's not the case.
However, his motivation came through too much.
When things happen, I'm going to ask Grom to do his best.
Whatever it is, the arrival of the brave should be vigilant.
The will of the world fulfils people's aspirations.
I was afraid to produce a brave man who would antagonize me now.
We were going to use a secret detective's information network to alert everyone, including outside the continent.
Summarizing my thoughts, I try to move on to reviewing the following documents:
The next moment, the door opened in momentum.
It was Diela who would royally royalize there.
"Lord, I heard the word brave! I want to get mixed up in the story, too!
"Oh, Dear Diela. You're still restless."
"It's a sign of good health. What's wrong with the brave man?
Luciana explains the subject to Diella, who enters the room with a large strand.
Diela looked far away when she put on her arms and listened.
She whines with a serious look sometime.
"Ho. A voice for the brave... just like when I was there."
"People try to hope. No matter how brittle it is, we have to rely on it."
"You know very well. That's right, you're a former sage."
Diela slapped me on the shoulder and suddenly looked at me.
She asks in a low voice.
"The threat of the modern demon king was made known to the whole world. What is your Lord not going to do?
"Apply pressure all over to stir up hostility. As long as we can prevent wars between nations, that's fine. No change of policy for heroes to emerge"
"Uhm, not bad"
Diela, who slapped on my back, returns to the door in a light foothold.
Luciana was forgiving the groms on the verge of fury.
You must be angry at my attitude towards me.
Approximately the interaction between the two, Diela gracefully scratches her hair up.
"So far, so good, but not alarming. If you are in trouble, rely on your predecessors. We'll help you at a special price."
"... you're paying"
"It's obvious. I owe you money for gambling. - No, it's nothing. Don't hesitate to say it anyway!
Diela, who looked bad, left the room to run away.
Noisy footsteps instantly turn away.
Grom popped out of the room to follow.
I guess you're going to preach about Diela.
Luciana left laughed bitterly.
She tries to whisper and says.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but I care about you, don't I?
"Oh, I know"
Problematic words and deeds stand out, but Diela also has the side that the previous Demon King deserves.
Therefore I trusted her, too.
It would be cruel to ask Diela to go that far, although it would be perfect if she would look at her behavior a little more.
Hearing Grom roar echoing from afar, me and Luciana went back to administrative work.
