episode_0629

Although the family in which Vichy was born was an aristocrat, it did not have the power of an aristocrat.

As a child, Vichy played with the peasant children around him without even realizing that he was a nobleman.

Even after he entered the social world and recognized his status as an aristocrat, Vichy’s attitude did not change.

As she was able to feel the smallness of her family again while talking with other nobles, she couldn’t help but be arrogant.

Still, Vichy did not hate his hometown. Aside from the little things, there were her friends here, her parents who cared for her, and memories of her happy past with her younger brother.

“When will I be able to see my younger brother again?”

Adri couldn’t reply to the words he muttered while sitting in the empty field. Because I know that it is impossible to bring back a soul that has already left.

The magic of casting a spell is to summon those who cannot escape this world.

You cannot force someone who is satisfied with their life and has left.

That’s not something those who stay on earth can do.

“I would like to ask Lady Aln for a favor. I don’t know if I can grow like everyone else.”

– It’s okay not to be impatient. Vichy is growing fast enough.

“But.”

– Necromancy is dangerous magic. I don’t know what will happen if I run in a hurry.

“…I guess so.”

There will come a time when I have to tell Bisi the truth.

But not now. Vichy isn’t ready to accept that yet.

“Vichy! Where is Bisi!?”

“What happened?”

Bisi stood up at the sound of an urgent voice coming from afar, shook off the dirt, and raised his voice.

“Why!?”

“Why? Come here quickly!”

“So what’s going on!”

Vichy, who was grumbling and heading to the place his mother called him, stopped when he saw the faces of Lucy Alln with her arms crossed and Joey Patran looking around with sharp eyes.

Why are those two people here? Even if you came to a corner like this, there wouldn’t be anything interesting!?

– I know you’re embarrassed, but shouldn’t we help your mother quickly first? Your face is pale.

ah. Ahhh! right!

I’m used to meeting those two people at the academy, but they’re not my mother!

If you were to stand between Lady Patran, who is just plain reading, and Lady Arlen, who is famous for being a bitch, you would faint!

Bisi, who was scared and ran, caught her breath nearby and did her best to look like a young lady and greeted the two.

“Lady Patran. Lady Aln. What are you doing in such a squalid place?”

“That’s right. The bridesmaid girl. Why do I need to know that your foul body odor is like the smell of the countryside?”

Bisi’s mother’s eyes tremble at the words, which no matter who hears them, will sound like bullying.

“Sleep! mother! no. mom! no! It’s not like that!”

“Oh my. Bridesmaid…”

“Lucy. Saying more than that will only lead to misunderstandings.”

Joy, who dissuaded Lucy with one word, politely bowed her head and apologized even though there was no need to, and then opened her mouth.

“As I said before, the reason we came here is because there is something that only your daughter can do. Your daughter is a capable person who has helped us at the Academy many times before. On the honor of the Patran family, I can assure you that there will never be anything to worry about.”

When the only daughter of the Patran family mentioned the family’s honor, Visi’s mother waved her hand, saying there was no way she wouldn’t believe it, but at the same time seemed relieved.

“We have something to talk about for a moment.”

“Okay! There was already something to do outside!”

After Visi’s mother left, Visi saw the magic used to block the sound and realized that this incident would be just as dangerous as the last time.

“Do you have something to ask Adri?”

“Yes. Are you there now?”

It’s next to “”

– hello. Lady Patran.

When Adri suddenly appeared and lowered his head, Joy flinched her shoulder slightly and caught her breath.

– Considering that you came to me, does it have to do with black magic?

“It’s as you guessed.”

“Be happy. This job is the creepy old woman’s specialty.”

What the two were curious about was soul transplantation.

Can one person’s soul be breathed into another person’s body?

If possible, what should be done to prevent this?

– It is possible to breathe soul into it. You’ve often heard about possession, right?

Possession is one of the basic concepts of necromancy. One of the combat techniques that a necromancer specializes in is not simply giving a soul to a corpse, but also giving it to surrounding tools and objects to make the battlefield their own.

– However, it is not easy to breathe a soul into the body of a living person. If we compare the human body to a castle, the possessing soul is on the Gongseong side and the person defending it is on the Mercury side. Unless there is a big difference, it is impossible to take away the body.

– Even if the body is taken away, the problem does not end. The body uses dragons to chase away predators. If you lose control even once, it’s over.

– So, usually when attempting possession, the method is to turn the opponent into a corpse and then keep the corpse intact until traces of the soul disappear, or to make the opponent agree in some way.

After listening to Adri’s explanation, Joy unconsciously frowned.

What Adri is saying assumes that the soul has the will to take over the body.

If you are forcing an unwanted soul into it, possession will be much more difficult.

In particular, the people I am trying to possess this time are Prince 1 and Prince 3. Unilateral possession is never possible.

Then why did the first queen let the two of you go so easily?

Shouldn’t one side try to hold on at all costs?

Why hasn’t anything been done so far?

“Grandma. If all traces of the soul disappear, can you possess it even if it’s just a piece of shit?”

– In theory. In a castle without an owner, the owner is the one who invades first, right? However, it is only a theory because the body turns to bones faster than completely erasing traces of the soul.

“Then that’s it.”

Only then did Joy understand the first queen’s intentions.

If he takes on the power of the evil god Agra, the other variables become good.

If Agra had the power of the end, it would be possible to sentence the soul staying in the body to death!

In the first place, the power of the end is too comprehensive a power!

It is difficult to guess how far this force will work!

It’s possible to put an end to our memories and make us not remember everything!

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I’m falling into a hole.

The despair contained in the name God is so great.

The reason we were able to win against the evil god of darkness was because Erginus blocked its power.

If we had had to handle all the powers, it would have been impossible to guarantee victory.

“…Perhaps the first queen is waiting for us to come visit her.”

“I guess so? He’s a mental patient who can’t get out of his delusions. He wouldn’t even think that he would fail.”

“Then what should we do?”

If the first queen is able to completely control the power of the evil god by wasting time, she will be defeated.

However, even if you go to fight, the chances of victory are low. Of course, it is impossible to handle it quietly. It is certain that countless blood will be shed.

“Me. Can I ask you a question? 1Why is the queen mentioned?”

Joey wondered whether he should tell Bisi about this.

She is a girl who only has a powerful spirit as her friend.

There are too many things he falls short of to be considered a hero.

If you get involved in this matter for no reason, you will end up in the same situation as your friend.

“The paranoid queen got a new job.”

After deep thought, the moment I was about to close my mouth, Lucy opened her mouth.

“Lucy!? This person!”

“This bridesmaid is the same age as us, right? Even if it’s a mess, you have to do your job.”

Joey, who was trying to stop her, shut her mouth when she saw Lucy’s eyes were serious.

From what we have seen so far, Lucy is a person who values others more than herself. If I didn’t have the confidence to keep it, I wouldn’t have even brought it up.

“Could you at least let me explain?”

“If you want attention, do whatever you want.”

Joy let out a long sigh and briefly explained the current situation.

At times, Visi and Adri asked if that made sense, but Joy calmly convinced them.

It wasn’t long before the two came to admit that the current situation in the kingdom was dire.

-Why are you telling us this?

Unlike before, Adri’s voice was filled with caution. But Lucy snorted as if nothing had happened.

“Grandma. Next question.”

– Answer my question first.

“Taking away control of the soul. Is it possible?”

*

Of course, the first queen would have prepared for things like purification and royal orders.

Because there are two people on our side who can handle the divinity of the main god.

However, the same warlock’s interference will be relatively weak.

If Adri is a spirit who can go around saying unpleasant things even in front of my divinity, the apostle of the main god, it would be possible not only to take away control of the soul but also to return the ego to that soul.

– I can not.

“Isn’t lying too obvious? Do you have any intention of cheating?”

– Anyway, I can’t.

“Are you scared and leaving me out?”

– yes. is it so. I was scared. So I can’t do it.

The reason Adri is putting it out like this is probably because he is worried about Bisi.

So no matter how much you scratch, no matter how much you bring up what happened in the past, or even if you make a good offer, there is no point.

As long as she wants to protect Vichy, it is impossible to convince Adri. I mean Adri.

“Even a lonely old woman isn’t going to live as a parasite to her bridesmaid forever, right?”

– I’ll say it again, but I.

“I could give the old lady a doll that is too much for her.”

If you clear all of the Vichy-related quests in the game, you will have a body that Adri can handle.

It’s a job that requires going through a lot of cumbersome procedures, but it’s difficult for me to save it now.

Adri is also a ghost. This is a spirit who desires a body more than anyone else.

I try my best to ignore it, but this regret must be very great.

– No need.

Still, she refuses.

why?

I’m afraid Vichy might be dangerous. Because your precious friend is more important than your desires.

“No. I need it.”

However, this friendship is the same in the opposite case.

Bisi values his friend’s dreams more than his own danger.

– Vichy! This is not something to get into lightly!

“I know. But that’s okay. That’s a valuable suggestion to you.”

– It’s meaningless if you die! It’s completely different from the story that happened last time in the forest! I might not be able to protect you!

“If that moment comes, Lucy will probably die first.”

In response to Adri’s cry, which was almost like a scream, Joey smiled and turned his head towards me.

“Right?”

“Puhaha! of course! There’s no way I’m allowing bastards like you to stand out more than me, right?”

I will never let you die.

Even if I die, I die first.

That’s what it means to stand in front of everyone holding a shield.

“Adri. Bisi. Please help us. Lucy chose you because everyone needs you to make them laugh.”

Joey bowed his head politely and Bisi asked for a moment to talk.

A few tens of minutes after we went outside, it was clear that Vichy and Adri had an argument, but the conclusion that came out at the end was Vichy’s will.

“What can I do?”

The first step to conquering the first queen has been prepared.
