The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Into the interior of the royal castle.

The undead in their outfits, such as maids and squires, stood blurry. Will they attack if they perceive signs of living humans? I doubt it, but I'm not willing to confirm it with Hikaru.

The stone castle is easy to walk. Continue along the corridor. Here was the figure of the humans who worked at the royal castle.

(I knew it was crazy. too few knights and soldiers)

It's not zero, but I hardly see it. There are no clustered numbers except for the Deadnight Draugle team that was in formation on the front bridge.

This would not create a royal castle security.

I'll drop by Deadnight, where only one of them was wandering. Shortcuts do not pass from above sheet metal armor. I'll look for a gap. Surprisingly, the body is covered by armor. His face is exposed but his neck is invisible.

(If I stab him in the face, would I be able to get there in one blow?... I don't think so)

"Intuition" 1 says, "Isn't that impossible?" and whisper.

I gave up on whether I couldn't force it and didn't even have to take it down.

The location of the treasure trove was known as soon as it approached. There was only a huge mass of magic around it. Close to those of the noble mansion.

If you can't open it, there's no point in coming —— but Hikaru had a plan.

"Is this the key hole?"

Huge enough to look up, two open doors.

White stone construction, with dragon-like monsters carved into the surface.

There is a key hole just about the height of Hikaru's eyes in this lookout.

"Do people like the treasure trove keeper have these keys?

"Yes... I think so"

"Is that you?

"I don't know if it's you."

Next to the door stands a dead noble with clothes that would have been bright 600 years ago. On his right hand was hanging a bunch of keys.

Close in and knock him down with a blow, Hikaru gets that bunch of keys. I try to insert a key that looks like that into the key hole —— and then I go into the key hole.

"How could that undead have been here? Isn't that too convenient?

"Sure... well, even if the key fits, I can't open it"

Hikaru pulls out the key. I tried the other keys and they didn't get in, so it looks like this key is the key to opening the door for sure. The material on the key is the same as that on the door.

"There's a smudge in the middle."

There was a crease in the handle part of the key. It seems to implant something.

"Oh. I thought it was the market to fight the boss with the most powerful equipment in the treasure trove, but that doesn't work... I wonder if the boss has something to put magic into this key"

"Boss? You mean boss?

The game term I used accidentally doesn't make sense to Lavia.

"Oh, um... the boss here, yeah"

Hikaru said. He must be the king.

Return to the front of the royal castle. First, head to the hall of sight where the king may be.

As we went up the long stairs, the doors leading up to the hall of sight were wide open to the left and right.

There's a carpet. It's just been a long time and there's so much dust I don't even know the color of the carpet.

The hallway was out of dust where the undead walked, but this carpet is loaded with dust. Not one footprint, like the day after it snowed.

"... be there"

I was caught up in Hikaru's "Magic Detection".

"Should I turn off the light?

"It's okay. Dead Noble's the only one here."

"... right?

It was a half-hearted face, but Lavia follows with the magic guide lamp on.

She pointed the light inside the hall --.

!?

Dead Noble standing on the left and right.

Beyond a few steps up there was a throne, with one undead sitting.

He puts a cheek wand on his arm and points Carrappo's orbit this way.

A number of jewels sewn on loose robes are diamond glow.

After 600 years, the diamonds do not fade —— they were dusty, but shiny.

—— ————

———— ——

——— —

——— ——

I hear a violin-like sound on the verge of breaking. It was the voice of the dead nobles in line.

It sounds faint. But it sounds good in this silence.

Hikaru gets closer to one and clears his ears. Seems like all I can talk about is dead citizen and uncle groaning like "gee" or "aaw".

"Hey, what... what's this?

Lavia, who was flabbergasted, finally returns to me and asks me a natural question.

"I suppose you're arguing about something in front of the king."

"Though I know that"

I don't know what you're arguing about.

Have you been arguing for 600 years? Or is the agenda different every time?

The king is just bored.

"... King's Ring"

"Hmm?"

"That shape, it's going to fit in the key"

There was a ladder and a ring on the finger of the right hand on the cheek cane.

The meat remains because it is not mummified. The ring is stuck to your finger without falling off.

"... Hikaru. Defeat the King...?

I ask modestly for Lavia.

"No. I won't take him down. Now."

"Now what?

"That king, when he gets close, he'll probably find out. I feel fine by myself."

Hikaru is so "intuitive".

This was really a handy feeling. Now I only know that extent because I'm still "intuitive" 1, but if I raise the level, I'm going to know "to what distance I can get close".

Even at this stage, though, it was sufficient.

I don't know if that king is equally "intuitive," but it's a big advantage for Hikaru just to find out that "if you stay close with the light, you're going to find out".

"... I knew I was a foot wrapper?

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. No matter how close I get to defeating the king on my own, the other Dead Nobles are gonna make a fuss, right? If you want to defeat it, you also need Lavia's magic. With me and Lavia's set, we can finally attack."

"Yes. I hope so."

"Beyond that —— if it feels like this, I guess the research comes first."

Hikaru takes Lavia from the hall of sight to the back.

Find the library. Go through the aisle behind the undead, who looked like a clerk.

In "Magic Detection," there doesn't seem to be any undead ahead of us from here.

At that time —— it felt like a cold breeze had blown.

(Wind...?

The air felt almost immobile in the dungeon.

But I come here and feel movement in the air.

"Lavia, it says' Library 'here"

"Huh?"

When Hikaru pulled over in front of one of the rooms, Lavia put up a magic guide lamp.

"Ancient language...... maybe? I can only read a little. Can you read it to Hikaru?

"Sort of."

Although it was Roland's knowledge.

The door was of simple construction, hung by a physical key.

When Hikaru plugged in the "Shortcut of Arm Power," he kicked me and forced me to cut off the lock.

It was built that I didn't really intend to close, so I was able to break through with the absurdity.

"... the smell of ink does"

Prior to the development of plant paper, the ink used in the parchment era was nonedible ink. It is a mixture of iron oxide and plant-derived tannins, which were also used in Europe.

In this world, plants used for immersed seed ink have a unique sour smell.

The light on the demon guide lamp illuminates to lick.

Luxury fitted books that fit on the bookshelf.

A number of parchments were spread out on the central table.

This also seems to be a place to collect parchment and book.

"The library of the Ancient Poern Senior Dynasty... the archaeological value is amazing"

It's a place where Gafrasty seems to cry and rejoice, but I don't feel so worthy as a hical.

"Shall we take a look at some? It's not like you can't read Lavia at all, either, is it?

"Yep... although I'm not sure"

"All right. Then let's split up —— there doesn't seem to be any monsters nearby, so it's okay to let go of my hand anymore"

"Okay."

Lavia let go —— it was then.

"What?"

Pa, the room is brighter.

No, it's not just the room.

The light jumps through the library, passes down the hallway, and brightens up the whole royal castle.

"Hey, what!? What!?"

"Calm down, Lavia"

Hikaru attracts her and exerts "mass blockade" again. But the light doesn't go out.

Now the lights would definitely have lit up perceiving the signs of the Hikals as "humans" -- "creatures". It also automatically (...).

Sensor lights that can sense humans and light up in Japan are common. But I've never seen anything like it in this world.

Obviously lost magic (Lost Technology) by the Ancient Poern Senior Dynasty.

!?

It doesn't give Hikaru time to think calmly.

It sounds like ground next.

"Shit, next to next"

Hikaru noticed that there was a window in this library. It's a wooden window, not like it's got glass on it.

Push open the window --.

"Nah..."

That's the other side of the king's capital, apart from where Hikaru and the others came from.

Naturally, there is an equally aristocratic neighborhood, with a first settlement ahead of it, and the city spreading beyond it —— should be.

Right ahead of the royal castle, there was nothing.

It wasn't that there were walls, it was just that the earth was stretched out with nothing.

For the royal castle emits brilliant lights, but the earth of the protrusion is clearly visible.

The Hikals are on the 3rd or 4th floor. So I can also look down at the outer wall that protects the royal castle.

And the earth saw shadows a little, but they were not moving. It doesn't look like an undead monster either.

Also rocked.

When he wobbled, Hikaru saw.

Far away -- there's a giant about a kilometer away that emits purple light.
