[The dead evolve over time.]

I turned over the next page of the book I was holding.

[Become a skeleton when a zombie rots. However, if we remain in the flesh, we will become stronger ghouls.]

I read down below.

[Magic power evolves them faster when their bodies are exposed to pitch. Skin gets tougher and bone gets harder.]

Mmm-hmm.

[Skeletons have some intelligence and can handle weapons. To the Warrior, to Archer. They will become stronger over time if they do not become mature.]

You skipped the next page.

[They instinctively want more powerful magic. I want a stronger body. That's why we're headed to Command's Land.]

Warm spring and summer are the seasons when the undead weaken the flesh.

Magic power disappears in the warm sun, and the phoneme is also exposed to bright light.

That's why they're headed to the land of the enchanted phoneme, the Command. And · · ·.

[When autumn comes and winter comes, they awaken the instinct they had been waiting for.]

The instincts of the dead.

It was an appetite to devour the living, to kill them and turn them into one.

Once a year, the coldest time of winter. It is time for the Dead to be freed from wandering around the continent and gathering in the land of commanders. It is a season when the flesh remains intact and is scattered throughout the continent and devours the living. and that time · · · ·.]

“About a month left. ”

I covered the books.

I stood up to put the book in the small library of the monastery.

“Let me get this straight. ”

A silver-haired girl spoke to me like that.

A girl dressed neatly picked up the book with an expressionless face.

Her name is Charlotte, and she has visited the monastery frequently since the zombie wave incident.

I heard the farmer's grill was adopted.

He hates it and wants to take charge of the girl.

“Please.”

She nods and tucks the book into the library.

It may be due to the shock of losing your parents, but I asked you to join the Monastery and work as a nun.

He is responsible for cleaning the monastery in the morning, lunch and dinner as well as cleaning the cemetery.

It was okay because it was comfortable for me, but sometimes my back is creepy because the memory of the knife is fresh.

Well, free service won't last that long. If he gets tired of it, he'll leave on his own.

Not all nuns do it.

In this world, it is multifaith.

If they do not harm others, they are called pagans if they accept religion and harm others.

Even if I lived as a nun, I could not get married.

If you meet someone you love, even the girl in front of you will get bored and leave this monastery.

I looked at Charlotte with a fat look and passed her by.

When they opened the door to leave the library, there were those who stood in front of them.

“What the hell.”

Knights wrapped around white armor from head to toe.

Imperial Paladins of the Holy See.

I was also the seventh grandson of the Holy Father and my guardian, the Crown Prince.

A week has passed since the zombie wave incident.

I didn't even know that wandering zombies could be distracted by their daily search for and burial.

After just finishing everything yesterday and securing some safety, the chief informed the nearest territory.

It took a day to get here and there, but the paladins came after half a day.

The paladins looked at me, across the street, at Charlotte.

“A nun?”

This monastery was empty until I arrived.

It is doubtful that there are nuns who study faith.

I purposely spoke in ridicule.

“Oh, he's from the village. He studied faith so hard. Oh, and you'll do me a favor. Day and night. ”

Of course, I take care of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“But what can I do? She's a nun, not a servant. I should be able to refuse a believer in God, right? ”

I deliberately spoke in a flustered manner.

The paladin took his eyes off Charlotte and looked at me.

“I heard Morgana caught a witch. ”

Huh! Look at these guys. Let's start with the big picture without saying hello.

Are you just treating me like I've been deprived of the authority of the Holy Father's heir? Huh? Huh?

“Yes. The villagers did. ”

“Yes, I heard. ”

You nod, blunt as a machine.

“I heard you fought fiercely with the villagers. ”

Tough with the townspeople?

Well, if it's a zombie fight in a monastery,

“They said they surrounded the king of prey and fought him with a basket. ”

“What?"

“I've heard that a hundred zombies have surrounded us and found the Necromancer through hard work. ”

“... ”

“Especially Grill killed 30 zombies and sprinkled holy water on the witch Morgana." ”

Grill, have you ever been a farmer with that kind of duality? It was as if I'd only caught one zombie with tears in my eyes! I didn't know there was such a thing as a hideous face.

“I thought you were the chief. ”

The paladins gaze at the window of the Monastery.

Across the window, there were hundreds of graves buried a week.

“Looks like it's real. ”

“Chief. Don't let a paladin talk you out of it. ”

Well, you won't think I killed that many zombies on my own. Including the king of prey.

I was exaggerated, but I didn't lie because I also had help from the villagers.

“You didn't come here to see that. ”

I frowned.

“Did you know Morgana belongs to the Black Cult? ”

“Uh, I got it through interrogation. ”

What, is that something you could tell me? That Morian woman, she said something amazing.

“He's pretty bad. He's destroyed five villages so far. ”

Wow, she's a massacre!

Oh, my God, was I dealing with that crazy bitch?

“What did she do? ”

“Haven't the villagers heard? Beat him to death and hung him. ”

“You mean the Prince? ”

“No.”

I was in denial.

Are you crazy? I can't do something so brutal, so fragile. My heart goes away!

I didn't speak my mind.

It is obvious that he will be disgusted when he hears it.

I acted differently instead.

I reached out to Charlotte and gave her a hug.

“I just sat there peeing because I was scared. Ome! Scared. Oh, my God. My shoelaces! That bitch who was flirting with me, she looked at me like I was some kind of asshole! Wow, it's a good thing I didn't poop then! ”

I purposely yelled at him. And then I looked at the paladins.

You hear a sigh with your head down.

Okay, how ugly is this?

What is it like to shout in a woman's arms?

It looks disgusting to me.

By the way, paladins! Report well to the Holy Father about me! And give my regards to the brothers.

Convince me not to send that assassin next time.

The paladin picks out a leather pouch from his arms and puts it on a nearby shelf.

“What is it?”

“Here's the 80 gold bounty on Morgana. ”

Fifty silver dollars a month for the common man here.

Considering that, it is a tremendous amount.

At this rate, I can play and live for a while.

“Did you have a bounty? ”

“By any chance, were there any magical books that the witch was carrying? ”

“Do what?”

“We have to retrieve it.”

“Nothing. I burned the Holla because it was ominous. ”

Bullshit.

Why don't you just hand over the good magical books?

These are things I risked my life to save. I wrote it when I was useful, "Oh, my goodness! `It was not foolish enough to insist.

Of course, I don't know if I can get used to it.

“I understand.”

They stopped and looked at me before they left.

“Winter is coming. Stay healthy as the weather gets colder. ”

“Yes, I know. It's fucking cold out here in the mountains. ”

“And soon there will be a 'wave of death’. ”

“I just saw it in a book. It's the Undead Wave that comes once in winter, right? The coldest season, he said, is coming on December 25, close to the ice age. ”

I hoped Santa would come, but it was time for the ghosts to go wild.

As I smiled and spoke, the paladin glanced at me.

He must be sighing in his helmet because of his impertinent tone.

“Prepare to evacuate. I'll escort you.”

“Oh! Really? Are you getting out of this shithole? Where are we going? ”

Do you think he's going to the next country? Or the city?

Let's take a look around the world. I want to know what this place is like! The paladins will join us. Let's get these guys to spend some money.

Tasty treats and escorts in this world-class inn!

How romantic!

I'm tired of playing lullaby with corpses.

I could use a vacation.

“Come with us to lonia territory. ”

“What?"

Wait, what? There · · · ·. It's right in front of us. It's a city that arrives in half a day.

No tasty specialties, no sightseeing. A shield to stop the waves of death.

Approximately half of them are prisoners and poor security, often referred to as' abandoned territories’ and ‘sacrificial castles' built to calm down evil spirits.

You're not going to send the Holy Father's grandson there, are you?

“There will be many casualties in the Black Wave. So... ”

Oh, come on! Please tell me you're not. Don't say anything more!

“... prepare a funeral for the noble victims. ”

“... ”

“This is the order of the Holy Father. ”

Oh, my God!

I'm not asking you to leave. I'm asking you to stay there.

Oh, shit, Grandpa!

He's not really my grandfather, but he's my biological grandfather!

Do you intend to kill your grandson with a gearhead?

The Holy Father didn't send the assassin, did he?

I hope not.

If the Holy Father is willing to kill me, I will surely die.

Immediately after the paladins left, the villagers came to visit.

* *

I hammer. I carry the materials and pull out the old furniture.

The monastery was undergoing repairs.

“At least it's undead you're not a bandit. ”

When the dead come to the ‘waves of death,' shabby houses or buildings without life pass by.

This means that no harm will come to the town or monastery if you leave it empty.

There is nothing to lose even if you work on repairs and get new furniture.

“The best carpenters in town. It won't be like a new one, but it will prevent the rain from leaking or the ceiling from collapsing. ”

The village chief came to keep the promise he made to me.

Not only did they fix the monastery, but they also brought firewood for winter.

There are also all kinds of food ingredients.

I used to cook as a hobby, so cooking as a food ingredient in the world is a new kind of play. Well, there's no need for a girl named Charlotte to cook for you these days.

I gave that chief a bag of money.

“Is this · · · · ·? ”

“It will contain about 5 gold pieces. ”

I said, the chief opened his eyes wide.

“That's a lot of money. ”

“I heard there was a bounty on the witch you caught. Some of it. ”

Of course I'll eat the rest.

It was the villagers who caught and killed them for the first time, but I've done a lot of work, haven't I?

It is a reasonable proportion.

It is a price that has not soiled my hands.

“We can't accept it. I owe it to the Crown Prince. ”

The chief smiled bitterly.

“I'm not just giving it to you. ”

“...? ”

“Cost.”

“Construction costs at the Monastery? ”

I shook my head.

That's free.

I point fingers at tombstones roughly made of gravestones.

“That's messy. Recreate the materials and personnel from the city. You've done your purification, so you just need to trim the grave. It's a pain in the ass. You guys take care of it. ”

In other words, hire workers because I'm a pain in the ass.

That's on them, too.

“I understand.”

The chief got paid.

“If you take it away, it breaks your hand. ”

“Of course.”

The chief smiled.

The work must be done.Even the annoying paladins must be back and forth.

You must have studied magic.

Now, a month from now, Halloween Day in this world will begin.

Of course, there will be a real undead march, not an event.

The season of the imperishable is raging. It is also time for the undead to spread across the continent.

For the future that will not rest, it is better to relax and increase your skill level diligently during the off-season.

If you do not, you will suffer!

So...

“Shall we do a proper experiment? ”

It was time to learn a skill with a command book left by a woman who may or may not be Morian.
