134 [2-68] Silver-gray box (unknown name) (1/2)

One of the basements of the royal castle.

Everything in front, back, left, right, top and bottom is made of gray stone, and the room is cold in appearance and temperature.

It is a dark room with no light coming in through the ventilation holes even in the daytime. At the moment, there was a faint magical light near the ceiling, dimly illuminating the room.

There were a number of bunks lined up in an orderly fashion.

One by one, a girl was laid on each bunk.

Some had long hair, some short.

Some were tall, some were short.

Some were well-dressed, others wore grafted clothes.

But they are all girls, without exception, around the age of ten, and all of them are frozen, as if they had stopped breathing and were asleep.

It's like a morgue.

Well, it may be similar, but this is a state of suspended animation, and the girls are still alive.

These girls are Rene's ”leftovers”.

These girls were brought from Wesara during the invasion of King's Landing, but were not used by Rene in the end.

At first, they were kept in the royal castle, but it took a surprising amount of effort to keep them alive so that they could be used in times of need.

They take up a lot of space, they need to be kept healthy, and above all, they need food. The food left in King's Landing and the castle was useless to the undead, so they didn't have to worry about running out of it, but eventually they would have to procure it.

When Renai asked Everis for a solution, Everis suggested a magical cryosleep.

It would make them sleep as if time had stopped, and they would not cry, go hungry, or get sick.

The only cost would be a small, continuous supply of magic to maintain the magic.

Everis said that the success rate was still about 60%, in fact about 40% of the test subjects died and were discarded, but the rest were successfully put into a state of frozen sleep.

One of them was being put to sleep.

Aaaaaaah!

With a final scream, he jumped up and turned into an undead.

”Whoa!

”Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The moment Edgar slightly opened the treasure chest, a suspicious purple phosphorescent mist blew out from inside the box.

It is an evil spell that neutralizes life force like water extinguishes fire, and causes the death of all living things.

Normally, the mist would have spread all around and killed all those around it.

However, the mist spiraled out and converged on Edgar in a torrent, like several snakes entwined together.

One by one, the talismans that Edgar held in his waist popped off, losing their golden glow and turning black and dull.

Finally, it stopped.

There were only two of the many talismans left.

Edgar was alive, and the treasure chest was open.

The Sacrificial Lamb's Necklace, which had done its job, couldn't take the load and shattered into tiny pieces.

I thought ...... I was going to die.

Well done.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm sorry.

It was in the courtyard of the royal castle, just inside the walls.

It was a huge wreck, curled up like a sleeping cat.

It had a sharp angular form, scales the color of fresh green, and powerful wings in place of arms. ......

However, the front of the body is empty and the belly is empty.

It looked like the shell of a wyvern with only its flesh and guts removed.

The hard scales, hardened shells of scales, bones, claws, and fangs are still there.

It looked like a skeletal specimen of a wyvern covered with its own fur.

On top of the corpse, sleeping peacefully in the faint moonlight, a tarpaulin had been draped over it as if to protect it from the rain, but it slipped off.
