Scattered pieces of steampunk. Piles of books. Bottled up (R-18G).
　The castle workshop used by the court sorcerers is already a nest of Everis.
　It's a large room that looks like a combination of an office and a home economics kitchen, divided by two and flavored with fantasy, and it's filled with things that Everis brought with him.

I'm a consultant for world domination, and I'm a technician at heart. Me.

　I'm a technician by trade," said Everis, who was setting up some kind of plasma ball that she didn't know what it was for.

I've got everything from magic artifacts to new monsters.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ...... Your army is completely reliant on Create Undead at the moment, right?
I'm sure you're right. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

　≪You can use the "Create Undead" spell to create undead on the spot, but not all undead can be created.
　It can only create undead that look like the target itself.
　In order to create advanced undead, complicated formulas and techniques are required.

　Everis was rubbing his forehead with a fountain pen made of some bones while unraveling the scroll.

I'll have to think about getting some non-undead demons under my command eventually, but for now I think I'll stick with undead only.
　The fact that we don't need much food in this situation is huge. I only need to feed the ghouls with dead meat.
"That's eating zombies for now. The remaining bones can be turned into skeletons.
So lean.

　Everis chuckles.

　There are no supplies, no self-sufficiency in food.
　The only reason Rene is able to have an army is because his soldiers are all undead.
　If it were an army of goblins or orcs, he would have a hard time feeding them.

Anyway, let's increase the variety of undead.
　This is a land that was used by humans, so it will take some time to stain it well. ...... If you set up a workshop properly, you can make undead that you can't make with Create Undead.
　It's a waste of good ingredients if all you do is roast them. You have to cook them properly.
Like what?
I can still make simple things. How about this?

　Everis held one hand over the scroll, while with the other he took out a test-tube like object that emitted a blue light and popped the stopper.
　Then an eerie blue-white light flashed.

　A humorous shadow floats in the air.
　It's a pumpkin-headed, lantern-toting, big-headed ghost. It was a ghost who would be very active on Halloween.

A jack-o'-lantern. Low-grade undead with a spirit system perfect for arson. It's not much of a trick, but it's nice to be able to make it out of the souls of ordinary people!
　The spirit system is undead, so it's very mobile. You'll be bound around the messenger, but you can become a spirit yourself. If you make a lot of them, you can have them accompany the princess, and you can take off with a single blow and set a whole city on fire and come right back.
"That's good.
　However, Ciel-Teira has a lot of stone houses, so the effect of the fire attack may be subtle. Not that it's meaningless, though.
That's true. You can get all the stone you want. Stone can be insulated with a simple magical process, so it's great for snow country.

　The fluffy jack-o-lantern rubbed his hands together apologetically as he listened to them.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Vampires. You can be a vampire. ......

　Vampires.
　Vampires are the most famous undead of all time.
　They multiply their own kind through bloodsucking. They turn into mist. They can turn into bats, wolves, ...... and many other unique and diverse abilities. However, he also has some serious weaknesses, such as an extreme weakness to holy power and damage from sunlight.

　Rene can change his form.
　Her canine teeth grow out with an itchy sensation, and her skin becomes slightly pale.
　She changes from her human-like Revenant form to her vampire form. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had this problem.

"...... looks almost the same.
Not only do you look the same, but your abilities are almost the same. I can't even fly.

　Yeah.
　Vampires are supposed to be able to fly, but Rene has no wings.

Sucking blood doesn't make you a better soldier. You can't turn into mist, or bats, or wolves.
　You can't turn into mist, you can't turn into bats, you can't turn into wolves, you get damaged by sunlight, you can't get close to the holy seal, you can't eat garlic.
"Huh?　I can't recreate my powers.
The Dullahan and the Rich are made up of only things found in the human body, right?
　In addition to this, there are a lot of other things that can be used to make a vampire's life easier.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　However, it is not the ability to create something out of nothing.


　For now .

But maybe that's something I can do if I get more power from ...... soul-eating?

　Evelisse's purple-crystal eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Maybe.
"Hmmm, breaking down and absorbing souls!
　I don't know.　That's no longer the work of God!
　No, it's the work of God. Oh my god, I want to see it so badly. If you get a chance, please try it in front of me!　It's probably beyond human comprehension.
"Yes, if you get the chance. ......

　René agreed with a slight reluctance.
　Indeed, Everith was a technician. He was also a nerd. If you ask him to talk about his field of expertise, he'll talk too fast and won't stop.
　At any rate, I'll keep in mind that I'd better be careful not to get dissected by surprise. You can switch bodies anyway, but I don't want to be used as a guinea pig with that as an excuse.

And... I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
　Let's get the vampire ability. I think bloodsuckers are excellent as disposable troops that can be procured locally and grow on their own. They don't have any tricks, but they can get energy just by sucking blood, so there's no burden on the princess.
Yeah, I'll think about it.
I think I'll think about using vampires for my next mission.
　...... Also, besides the undead, is there anything else you need right now?　I can make magic and items.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do.

'You're not making magic with an assembled spell, are you?
No, no, no. No, no, no. That's combining several completed spells, but what I'm talking about is creating a new spell from scratch.
　If you want to build an army, you have to have a magic developer.

　Being a developer of new magic is not a very common job.
　But for some professionals and national organizations such as the military, it is essential.

　There are already enough types of magic in common use, and many people have improved them to a high degree of perfection. However, there are often situations where ordinary magic is not enough.
　It was the job of magic developers to create spells that were tailor-made, such as spells that were too niche for general use, or peaky spells that were specialized for specific situations without being versatile.

You're right, .......

　Rene pondered for a moment, but quickly came up with an idea.

I'm not sure if it's possible to use a storage spell and divide it into multiple spaces. There are some things you want to keep separate from the dead bodies of your loot.
That's true.
One of the spaces can be very small.
The size of one space can be very small. - Hmm, but if we make a partition in the subspace, it will be ...... or more like multiple magic can be maintained in parallel?　It's a bit of a hassle to get them in and out.
　But if you change the anchoring method from subspace to the magician, you can maintain multiple spells. The magic consumption will go up, but it's only a small price to pay, and I'm sure the princess won't mind.
　I'll try to draw a formula while I'm setting up the workshop, so give me a few days.
All right.

　If that's the case, then one of my concerns is taken care of.
　We just need a temporary measure until Everis can develop that storage spell.

Do you know of any powerful alarm spells? Something that could reach the other side of the country.
"Yes. I don't need to make one, there are such things. If it's as far as Ciel-Teira, we can contact the princess while she's away. As long as it's not voice communication, there are many ways to do it.
"Then why don't you set that in the treasure chest?
　I mean, can we get a treasure chest with not only an alarm but also a curse that will kill the person who opens it three times?
"Hmm, is that the kind where the contents don't blow up?
No!
"No! Well, I'll prepare a nice high killing intent box for you.

　Everis took it lightly. I guess it's no big deal for her.
　Rene felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

And .......

　There is one more spell that I really need to make.
　There was one more spell that needed to be created, but René couldn't look Evelisse in the eye when he asked her for it.

Can you make a spell that washes and dries everything clean?　It would be nice to be able to wash something as big as a bed mat.
　It would be nice to be able to wash something as big as a bed mat, but it would have to be done as discreetly as possible so that no sound would leak out.
"Hmmm, ...... magic that secretly washes clothes?　I'm sure you can make it, but what would you use it for?
I'll keep quiet!
