17-Rest 3: The Shadow Within the Royal Capital
Here's the viewpoint from the demon lord worshiper Light of Liberty
"It's an artifact entrusted by Earl Bobi before…"
The thing on top of the cloth that the man presented was a bracelet that looked like it was made from a purple colored hair joint…
"Fire Witch dono, is this real…?"
"Your mother, I'll even bet Dasles' house name on it…"
It doesn't look like an artifact blessed by the Demon God alike, but we have to know if this is genuine when we use it…
If this was fake, this man could only pay with his soul back then…
"As a gift…"
I handed it to one of my subordinates…
This Fire Witch was looking for certain information as her reward…
"Tigerkin girls are in a district in a slum area where they don't let humans in…"
"It's important to remember, it might be a little troublesome if the Fire Witch dono made a big fuss…"
"Therefore, for our friendship, I have ordered to kidnap the tigerkin girl, and hand her over to the Fire Witch dono…"
The Fire Witch nodded like she was not happy to hear the subordinates…
I don't know what grudges he has, but to come all the way from the east, enough hard work he's been through…
"Summon Artifact"
In exchange for 100 sacrifices, a black short horn fell on the altar…
"So this is Short Horn…"
"The same Demon God artifact that can sublimate humans into demons..."
I was tempted to reflexively wear it, but such recklessness was not allowed in front of our ambitions…
Because I will hand it over to His Majesty to sublimate into a demon and ascend the throne…
I continue to spend every day to turn the souls of the poor who are no different from trash into artifacts…
The voices of hatred and curses of the poor when their souls were offered to artifacts filled the Holy Grail…
"This pill can produce monsters, huh…?"
"Yes, and since this is our Empire's military secret, we respectfully ask the same Cardinal to keep it a secret…"
The weaselkin merchant carried a box full of small pills on his little fingers…
Used separately, this was nothing more than a low-level magic potion, but turning a normal creature into a monster if you give it to one that has magic cores buried inside its body after it is in a critical state from consuming Fiend Drug and then giving it magic wave through the activation magic tool…
Obtaining the Fiend Drug was a bit difficult, but thanks to the help of His Majesty, and his accomplice, Your Excellency, it became possible to be mass-created in the underground labyrinth…
With this, we can turn the royal capital into a haven of monsters like the Heki region…
What the hell is going on…
The low-class nobles who made Fiend Drugs in the labyrinth city had been captured, and even the Fiend Drugs sent to the Royal Capital were also confiscated...
"Mirage's…"
"I'm here..."
"Disguise yourself as Marquis Kelten, and send Violet to the Labyrinth City…"
"Socel's finish before all the underground fields are found…"
"Is it okay if I don't go alone…?"
"I don't mind…"
"There should be some demi-humans with wings on Violet…"
"Let those people go there…"
"As you wish…"
I left the Disguise artifact given by the Honorable to the Mirage…
If one were to disguise oneself with this artifact, one could not be seen even with the Appraisal Personage and Malice Appraisal…
I didn't think that it could fool Parion's heroine's appraisal ability, but that hero should have been far away in the Weaselkin Empire, chasing the demon king now…
This is the time of the Union Season which only happens once in every 666 years…
It's time for the resurrection of the demon lords, the Great Demon Lord Season so to speak…
I must thank the same Demon God who has blessed me who was born in the holy year of the season that has never happened since the Golden Wild Boar King that destroyed Furu Empire…
◇
All the fields of the Fiend Drug beneath the labyrinth land have been discovered by a man who calls himself a follower of the hero…
Moreover, he had even shamelessly snatched away the noble daughter who was left desperately for the sake of demon possession…
I had secretly brought the Fiend Drug that was stored in the army warehouse head quarter but half of them were seized by the authorities…
Just before the Fiend Drug was all destroyed, Mirage disguised as Marquis Kelten stopped him, but most had been taken to the Royal Research Institute for disposal…
The original Marquis Kelten had also been captured by the Prime Minister, so Mirage was unable to disguise himself as him until his successor was elected…
However, my subordinates managed to bribe a knight, and we were able to deploy the Fiend Drug in the underground aqueduct…
With this, I could wait for the right time to sow the seeds I got from the weaselkin…
The first experiment worked…
The artificial monsters had red rope patterns, and they showed strong strength and strong lust compared to the usual monsters…
But one problem remains…
"Each monster became weak in less than three days and was destroyed…"
"Fucking Weaselkin, provide us with this defective product..."
The reports from my subordinates are not favorable…
I can't turn the royal capital into a monster's paradise like this…
This is inevitable…
Let's prioritize hatching His Majesty now…
I instructed my subordinates to sow seeds at various places in the royal capital and continue the preparations for hatching…
After that from there, if we get the Orb, our ambition will come true…
The Fire Witch who was upset from the tigerkin girl's abduction plan that didn't go well made one part of the slum into flames…
He's an impatient fool before something more important…
It's bad if we're exposed through that guy…
I gave some of my subordinates the precious Short Horn and Long Horn, and sent them to the scorching section of the slum area to finish off the Fire Witch…
Every one of my subordinates who had turned into a lesser demon and mid demon met their target, the fifth seat of the Shiga Eight Sword, the gun user who just happened to be there, he was also killed in the process…
It was a pity that they remembered him losing his seat to Prince Sharlick the user of the holy sword…
As I expected, the recent sublimate demon could not compare to a natural demon…
Unfortunately, we were unable to find the Fire Witch in the royal capital afterwards…
He might get caught in a fire he created himself and die…
Two days later, there was a strange case in which the corpse of a white furred tigerkin soldier in terrible condition was left in front of the gate…
Perhaps it was the actions of the Fire Witch in question…
In order to secure his capture, I will send Sir Jizon a former temple knight to the royal capital…
"What is His Majesty's condition…?"
"Yes, he spent the days leisurely as always…"
I nodded back at my subordinate report…
"I understand..."
"So, have you found the location of that thing from before…?"
"It was in the Treasury of the royal palace…"
"It's kept inside the deepest…"
One of my subordinates proudly reported the information he got from bribing the vice chief who controlled the catalogue…
I'm holding back from saying that he should be proud of getting that thing from before, that Orb instead…
"Geez, this has become an absurd problem because we failed in shooting down the airship that was pinned down into the murder of Duke Bishtal…"
"It was also to finish off the Mithril Explorers to stop them from getting headaches in the future, but it was too greedy…"
"The plan to steal Orbs under the pretext of helping them..."
"To do three things at once, this greed is your fault…!"
"If you say that, then so do you…"
I tapped the tip of the bishop staff I had in my hand onto the floor…
"Leave that…"
I stopped the boring complaints of my subordinates, and confirmed a few things…
"Mirage, can you enter the royal palace…?"
"That's impossible. Because there is usually a troublesome seal left behind by Ancestral King Yamato..."
If I borrow that person's strength, obtaining an Orb is a simple matter, but I can't give such a strange task to the Honorable One…
I have to spend my resources to do it…
Tactics are ongoing…
I finished the monster tamed preparations to bomb to destroy the Shiga Eight Sword…
Mirage who disguised herself as a Naval Staff General had provided false information to the soldiers from the gates of the royal capital, stating that it was for training…
I also sneaked Sir Jizon into the banquet to exterminate the Shiga Eight Sword that escaped the attack…
The anxiety of the people in the royal capital should have been at its peak after the frequent monster attacks…
Judging the uproar from ignoring the people during the appearance of the Demon Lord Dog head the other day, they would definitely dance as I predicted on the stage at the moment…
Whistling arrow from megalith ringing the bell signifies the start…
Now, dance you people from the Royal Capital…
The time for the appearance of the true demon lord was near…
The Light of Liberty…
