53. New Knowledge

Returning to my room, I warm up and let out a sigh.

Because of the disciples of the archmage, it relieves the stiff body and relaxes the muscles that have been stiff from giving strength.

[thank you for your effort.]

The Dark Mage quietly appears saying that they can talk now. I glared at him several times to stay still, so he was avoiding the seat altogether.

I glanced at her, took off my jacket, and asked.

“When Eleanor fell asleep, did she see anything?”

At my words, the Black Mage resolutely denies it.

[Not at all. Is there really a demon in it? I don’t think the more I look at it.]

“… … .”

When I shut my mouth, the dark priest sneaks up towards me and pretends to accept my jacket.

Of course she couldn’t accept it, so I ignored it and put it on the hanger.

The dark mage crosses his arms as if he has a heartache and asks the other way around.

[Do you? In fact, you are much more specialized in this field than I am.]

I know.

that she wouldn’t know

Still, I had to ask.

because.

“I, too, can’t see anything.”

I really didn’t feel any energy, let alone evil spirits or monsters. I thought that if I fell asleep, I might be able to see something, so I suggested the princess a good night’s sleep.

Even so, I couldn’t see anything, so I couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed on my side.

“… … .”

I sat down on a chair and crossed my legs, but immediately felt the urge to drink coffee or tea and got up again.

In the room, simple tools such as tea leaves, coffee beans, a grinder, and a teapot were prepared for me.

Normally, I would have made tea, but today I felt like I had to stay up all night, so I started grinding coffee beans.

Dripping Dripping.

As you turn the handgrip, the savory coffee aroma pierces your nose.

Suddenly, Finden Eye comes to mind.

I boiled it like pig urine and told him not to touch the tea again.

It was a problem that both of them were disgustingly tasteless. To be honest, it was just half hot water.

‘I’m sure he’s doing well by now.’

It must be attacking a fairly difficult dungeon, but it is a combination of Aria and Finden Eye.

The more I think of them as being at a level that can be called the strongest in close combat, the more I trust them.

Yes, I just need to do well here.

Since I am proud as a necromancer, I need to solve this case in order to walk around the kingdom.

I finish making coffee and sit back on the chair in the room. The dark mage was looking at me annoyed.

[Since you didn’t see anything either, I don’t think it’s related to evil spirits, right? I heard that the saintess also failed, so it seems that the problem is not related to spirituality, but something else.]

“… … .”

[No, are you really having a nightmare in the first place? Aren’t you just a psychopath? A patient with paranoia?]

“… … Is there any way to enter a dream?”

I also thought that something was strange, so I wanted to enter the dream myself.

Then, the dark mage replies with a strange expression.

[Can I? Communion between souls is possible, but entering a dream is probably impossible. I don’t even know what a dream is in the first place.]

“That’s right.”

As I keep my mouth shut and fall into trouble, the Dark Spirit, who looked at me for a while, offered me a pity.

[Let’s run away at dawn.]

“Well?”

I wondered what she was talking about out of the blue, but she was more serious than ever.

[This is not a problem we can solve. It’s not our field in the first place. so run away It’s normal for black magicians to run away anyway.]

“Whoa.”

It’s useless words and worries. Thinking it’s not even worth answering, I sip my coffee.

Even though it was cooked by an inexperienced person like me, perhaps because it was a royal family, the taste and aroma were quite impressive.

[Isn’t it supposed to be like this?]

As I kept my mouth shut, thinking that I should explain everything at once, the door opened and two people came in.

It was King Orpheus and the great wizard Rock Pelican.

Originally, of course I had to go find it, but now I’m actually a prisoner.

It was also a high-risk soldier who had defeated the sorcery judge, so it seemed that he did not want to let him escape from this prison-like place.

Rather, it doesn’t matter because I’m comfortable and good.

“Okay, how are you?”

King Orpheus, who asks me for my results. There was a glimmer of hope on his face.

So I answered honestly.

“It is not a matter of demons. Just as the saintess failed, necromancy has not been able to reveal the existence of the princess’ dream.”

“ah… … .”

[Me, me, are you crazy?!]

The disappointing King Orpheus and the surprised Dark Magician who said that. It must be because the failure of the ordeal will soon lead to execution again.

I keep talking without stopping.

“But it can be solved.”

“A solution is possible?”

“Hoo.”

[Yes?]

The king, the archmage, and the ghost all look at me at the same time. It was easier to explain once and for all.

“It is impossible to confirm what that existence is, but in the end, isn’t the ‘dream’ the problem for the princess?”

“right.”

“All you have to do is get rid of that dream itself.”

It’s not a complete solution.

As for the existence parasitic inside the princess, it would eventually fall into a labyrinth, but the solution itself was possible.

“Is that possible?”

In response to King Orpheus’ question, I calmly opened my mouth. Calmness makes the other person feel trust.

“Yes, it is possible. In the world, there are beings made up of spiritual concepts, unlike demon beasts.”

“A spiritual concept?”

“Because it is extremely rare, we have no choice but to know about it. Anyway, I intend to use it.”

A human bone worm created by Marx.

The angel created by the wish of the Setima girl belonged to this category.

As if a strong will, such as an evil spirit’s resentment, activates mana on behalf of the body.

Yokai and thought forms also become reality through the accumulation of someone’s wishes.

“The monster I’m going to create is called Mac, and it’s a monster that eats nightmares.”

As I said before, this unique monster has an elephant’s nose, a bear’s trunk, and a cow’s tail with tiger claws.

I’ve heard that in Japan they call it baku.

It was King Orpheus who said he couldn’t follow the story, so the Archmage Rock Pelican intervened.

“You mean simply making something with a concept on your own? It is the realm of creation. No matter how magical it is, that is impossible.”

hit.

In fact, what I was trying to do was the realm of creation.

In the case of anthropomorphs and the angels of Setima, many people gathered and established the concept, but Mac was a concept that existed only within me.

“The difficulty is high, but not impossible. It may take time, but it is possible with the support of the royal family and the help of the archmage.”

Of course, it was bound to be a ridiculous attempt. But I’ve already seen success stories in the family underground.

This place has more excellent magicians, facilities, and financial resources.

Besides.

The biggest confidence was even an item with fraudulent performance called Remegeton.

“You don’t have to make it perfect. If you can handle it just once, that’s enough.”

It wasn’t about making a perfect weapon like the ingolchung, but rather about making a disposable monster that eats nightmares.

The two of them were puzzled by the fact that they dealt with a concept that was not properly defined.

I answered firmly.

“It is to save the princess of this country who has suffered for many years. doctor? priest? Even the saintess and me, the necromancer, have failed.”

Looking at King Orpheus.

His fists were clenched and he was already determined to save his sister, so I lit the fuse.

“It is such a difficult situation. We need to face the impossible head on.”

* * *

Since yesterday, the plan has been making progress in an instant.

In accordance with the king’s command that he would do anything to save his sister, I started a dedicated research centered on the archmage on the surface, but in reality I will lead the process.

In the first place, I was the only one who had the knowledge and concept of the yokai called Mac.

After I changed my clothes and went outside, the disciples of the Archmage were still waiting for me with a look of pain.

In order to move at any time, I had to carry two people on each side like this.

I can’t help but feel uncomfortable, but I can’t help it.

As I was walking with that thought in mind, Princess Eleanor suddenly appeared from around the corner.

Me and the disciples immediately greeted her as a princess, but Eleanor clears her throat and opens her mouth awkwardly.

“Deius, is this real?”

“Napoleon Bonaparte. He was a French soldier, but he became emperor through a coup on the 18th of Brumaire.”

It was a prepared person, so when I solved it smoothly, Eleanor listened blankly and tilted her head.

“France? Napoleon? Am I the only one who doesn’t know?”

I shrug my shoulders and ask the disciples on either side of me, and they also shake their heads awkwardly.

“Well, we are fine too.”

“I am hearing it for the first time.”

“Hmm, that’s amazing.”

The princess nodded and walked past us with a more relaxed expression.

I seemed to think of it as something like a simple novel created inside me.

But even after that, Princess Eleanor continued to visit me out of the blue.

Even at mealtime.

“De, Deius? Did I just doze off? Hey, is this real?”

“There was a website called YouTube, which was full of videos. I used to use it often.”

“Uh, what? dong… … What are you talking about?”

Even while conducting research.

“Deus! Is this real?”

“There is something called the theory of relativity, which was proposed by Albert Einstein. It is an important theory that explains the basic laws of the universe.”

“… … I really have no idea.”

Even when it’s evening and I go back to my room.

“Is this real, Deus?”

“… … There is a cell phone. It’s a versatile thing that can take pictures, text, or make calls.”

“Hmm, there are some unusual items.”

Eleanor nodded in satisfaction. She turned around and tried to go back.

I call her up

“Princess, do you enjoy simply listening to the story?”

“Huh?!”

Eleanor fussed loudly, asking what she was talking about. She waves her hands, her face red.

“Oh, that can’t be! I’m asking because I need to make sure it’s really real!”

She said that, but seeing her shyness, I felt like I knew a little bit why she was acting like this.

When you meet me, you can easily recognize that it is reality, so it must have felt like the stress of the past was naturally relieved.

As if addicted to that feeling, she kept looking for me.

“I, I, I’ll go!”

Poof!

Watching her back as she turned and left, I thought that she would suffer quite often.
