Episode 1104
After hearing that an intruder had entered the ghost palace, Simon and Merida hurriedly returned to the main hall on the first floor.
This place was already full of people. The necromancers belonging to the Ghost Palace were gathered in a circle with extremely serious expressions.
“excuse me.”
Simon led Merida by the wrist and entered through the crowd. He soon saw what lay before him to those around him.
It was a corpse.
A woman dressed in goth clothes was lying cold on the floor. Her nametag bore the name ‘T. Ellis’, and her clothes were torn, exposing her abdomen, with a flower drawn in blood in the middle of her abdomen.
Simon asked, unable to contain his embarrassment.
“What happened?”
“You came just in time. Commander of the 7th Corps.”
Among the many necromancers in the palace, an older man with gray hair spoke
with a stern expression.
“There is an intruder in the Ghost Palace.”
“Intruder?”
“exactly. There was a clear record in the entry register that Sir Thielis, the manager of the Ghost Palace, had entered the Ghost Palace. however-“
He looked at the body below, drooling.
“As you can see, Lord Thielis’ body was discovered today in Sophria, ‘outside the
Ghost Palace.’”
“That means… … .”
“They say someone killed Sir Thielis outside the Ghost Palace and then came into the Ghost Palace disguised as her. There is also an eyewitness who saw Lord Tyr Ellis
in her palace.”
Of course, the Tielis that people saw was not the real Tielis, but an ‘intruder’ who
had transformed into her. Murmurs grew louder everywhere.
“Are you saying there is a member of the organization somewhere in this ghost palace right now? “It’s terrible!”
“After killing Lord Thielis, it may have been brought in with her jet black and spirit
as an artifact.”
Speculations and rumors arose from all over. Simon raised his hand again.
“Then what about the Princess of Tenerife?”
“that is… … .”
This time, the young necromancer with a sword on his back paused and spoke.
“He was very surprised when he heard that the intruder who killed Tyelis might be
in the Ghost Palace, and quickly left the main hall. I guess you’re trying to enter the
third floor where the main body is… … .”
While Simon rested his chin and thought deeply, a fight over responsibility ensued.
“Isn’t this all caused by rushing people in without properly conducting verification
procedures at the entrance to the Ghost Palace?”
“It can’t be! Because it was an emergency, the procedures were simpler than usual,
but the essential black and spirit tests were performed properly!”
Seeing the people of the Ghost Palace being torn apart, Simon felt a headache.
There is no time to fight like this.
Simon raised his hand and spoke.
“Can I tell you something?”
“Outsiders, wait! While I’m at it, the only ones who didn’t do a spirit test were you
and Merida! “You two are suspicious enough!”
As the situation progresses dangerously, people seem to have become extremely sensitive. It is quite different from the first time they welcomed me with a cake.
It probably means that you don’t have enough space in your heart.
Simon smiled and quietly opened the subspace. Peer’s bones stuck to his body, and Simon, who was putting Peer’s helmet on for the last time, spoke coldly.
[fist.]
As the intense pitch black color unique to the Ancient Undead spread out, the necromancers stopped talking and were shocked.
“Sigh!”
“Ship, the commander of the treacherous army… … !”
I see people who are scared, people who are on guard, and people who reflexively
turn into darkness.
Who is here now?
who am i
There was a need to properly inform them.
[If you have a brain, think.]
Simon, who immediately captured the crowd, looked around.
[What is the purpose of the organization that attacked the princess candidates and
unleashed monsters on the city?]
A necromancer wearing a sword answered the question.
“The intention is to disrupt the princess’s molting and shake up the ghost palace.”
[Then what was the purpose of the intruder who broke into the palace?]
Everyone’s complexion turned white. Naturally, the intruder’s purpose was also the same.
“… … To disrupt molting and shake the ghost palace.”
[I am confident that I know ‘those guys’ better than anyone else on this continent.]
In the silence, Simon walked as if drawing a circle.
[The reason they unleashed monsters on Sofria may be to prevent molting, but the

real purpose is to cause panic in the Ghost Palace and force intruders into the palace. So, they are ‘two’.]
“Two, two… … !”
[Those who caused a disturbance in the city, and those who waited and then invaded the palace.]
Peer’s eyes flashed.
[Is Tielis a strong necromancer?]
“… … “After the princess, he is the best necromancer among us.”
[Then the person who is currently in the Ghost Palace is also a desperate savior. From the beginning, two saviors came here.]
Cries and surprises spread everywhere, as if Simon had dropped a bomb.
Simon said as if he was frustrated.
[But how long are you going to keep fighting with your mouth? As soon as the Ghost Princess heard the news that an intruder had arrived, she decided that they were
targeting the main body on the third floor and moved.]
“Well, that’s right!”
“Let’s go! We have to go to the third floor! “We must protect the princess!”
“Now it’s all over! “We need to bring the princess candidates so they can molt right
away!”
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the necromancers of the Ghost Palace began to move busily. Some of them went to pick up the princess candidate, and some of them immediately took the open key and left to the room on the first floor.
Simon, who had been quietly watching the scene, moved away. He then lifted Peer’s helmet and took one of his feathers from his pocket.
It was Cerne’s feather, which said that if anything happens, you can talk to this feather. Simon said after confirming that there was no one around except Merida.
“Serne, did you kill Tielis?”
The tip of the feather swayed from side to side as if expressing negativity.
“The desperate savior went there, and people also moved to find the savior. “I don’t know where it is, but be careful.”
This time, the feather bobbed up and down as if expressing positivity and then became limp.
Simon carefully stored the feather and then looked at Merida.
“Let us depart, Mary. “We have to find Tenerife’s body faster than the savior.”
“huh.”
Merida nodded once and gazed quietly at the mirror that reflected the sight of the
main body of Tenerife.
“What’s wrong Merida?”
“The symptoms have gotten worse.”
Merida said.
“Are you sure it will get better after a few weeks of treatment and rest?”
“… … .”
A disease that afflicts Tenerife.
If her soul in the homunculus returns to the main body and rests, but her body does not heal-
“That would be just as bad.”

Ghost Palace 4th floor.
Cha-bak-cha-bak.
In a chilly space, a woman with flowing ivory hair was walking. She looked around
her with calm eyes.
“It’s amazing. “I can’t believe there was a place like this hidden in the Ghost Palace.”
A hidden safe zone where ghosts do not appear.
This was a space containing the secrets of past ghost princesses and the current ghost princess Tenerife.
People called this place the ‘hidden study’.
Even though it was considered a legend even by people at the Ghost Palace, it actually existed. There is one reason why Cerne knows about this place. This is because
her client, who entrusted her with this mission, told her the location of this room.
“thank you?”
Rattling.
She put the compass that had guided her here in her pocket and walked.
There is a worn-out desk here, and there are old books on the bookshelf next to it. As she walked, skimming through her books with her fingers, she finally stopped
with her fingertips on one book.
He took out a handkerchief, lightly dusted off the dust, and carefully took the book
off the shelf and opened it.
“Duty and Freedom.”
Cernet read the sentences in the book.
“The first princess knew the weight of duty.”
SararakIn the first page, the first ghost princess was seen waving her hand with a smiling face. Cerne also smiled and turned the page.
“But obligations fade from generation to generation. For some, obligation can be an unwanted bondage. “People have an instinct to crave what they lack, and they will naturally want freedom.”
flutter flutter.
Sernet, who was quickly turning the pages of a book, suddenly stopped and looked
at it quietly.
Finally, a biological doll is seen.
This is the beginning of the homunculus that contains the soul.
“… … Tenerife Echeverria. He denied his body, which was subordinate to duty, and
came to regard the freedom enjoyed by a fake doll as ‘real’. “This is interesting.”
Ssssss-
“?”
Cernet closed the bookshelf and stared ahead. Ominous red smoke was billowing toward the study.
“It’s a terrible story.”
Chabak. Chabak.
The sound of footsteps is echoing. Someone was appearing in the pitch black darkness.
Skin as white as jade, and hideous-looking horns growing through a hairless scalp.
At first glance, it looked similar to Tenerife, but the atmosphere it gave off was completely different. Her blood-red lips opened and her cold voice rang out.
“So, would you be interested in a story like this? For some, it is a restraint they have been carrying since birth, but for others, it may be a dream they desperately wish
for.”
Cernet put down the book he was reading and laughed.
“Oh my, if you’re not a necromancer from the Ghost Palace, you’re not allowed to
come in here.”
“Isn’t that the same for the person who says that? The next Ivory Tower owner.”
“You know me. “I know you too.”
Cernet calmly tilted his head and continued speaking.
“Necromancer of rebelliousness, or should we now call him necromancer of renegade? “I saw it last time at the White Octopus Bar.”
Cernet smiled crookedly.
“Laura, the desperate savior who betrayed the Dark Alliance.”
“amazing. “You know too much.”
Snap.
Cerne turned her head when she heard the sound of something wet moving.
Before I knew it, a red goldfish was fluttering about on the floor of the study. The
body was full of lumps, and certain body parts looked strangely swollen, as if they were sick.
“Even if I didn’t, I let Tenerife know that I was back. “He must be busy heading towards the main body by now.”
Snap. Snap.
Before I knew it, the number of red goldfish continued to grow on the waterless floor of the study. Cerne snorted at him.
“okay. Normally, I would have the patience to listen to a story, but these days, when I think of a decision to make a decision, my head starts to explode. The Ivory Tower also suffered great damage.”
She slowly opened her palm and blew into it.
Then, a feather flew like an arrow leaving the protest! It made a sound and flew towards Laura’s forehead.
Whoa!
But it didn’t suit Laura.
A goldfish jumped out into the air in front of Laura, who was standing still, and she was hit instead.
The black goldfish hit by the feather fell to the floor, fluttered, and then fell limp.
“I’m sorry. Did we cause damage there too? “Even though they are the same savior, their thoughts and directions are completely different.”
Laura smiled and spread her palms.
Wow!
Then, around her, all kinds of goldfish, big and small, suddenly jumped out with the force of covering the world and flew towards Cerne.
Cernet also waved his hand without giving up.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This time, a black flame enveloped her. The goldfish that were flying were all caught up in the fire and fell to the floor, frozen.
“It looks like fire, but it has ice properties. “You have reached an amazing level.”
Laura walked forward step by step.
Goldfish fell on the floor here and there and bounced around.
“But you can’t beat me.”
“You have to try it to find out, right?”
Hwaaaaaaa!
Shoot!
With the two women pointing their fingertips at each other.
Flames and goldfish met in the air and swirled around.
