66.
“The future you saw is different? How did that happen?”
I shook my head at Perioze’s Sister, who asked with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know if the future is changing, or if I misunderstood the contents of the future. Anyway, nothing really happened during the coming-of-age ceremony, and the plague and disasters broke out after the ceremony ended.”
Everyone nodded when I said that since I had moved differently from the original story in many ways, it was natural that the present would also change.
The original me had never encountered ancient monsters, never became close with Perioze’s Sister, and never had a carriage accident to meet Theor.
Although I didn’t tell all the detailed stories, everyone seemed to understand since I had roughly explained that the content flowing after my possession was different.
“Anyway, I think plagues and disasters are parts that shouldn’t be overlooked, whether they happen or not.”
Crown Prince Lloyd nodded a few times at my words.
“I think so too. Even when I heard that the Empress and the Imperial Court had joined hands, I thought it couldn’t be true, but seeing that it turned out that way in the end… Plus, I saw dark sorcery with my own eyes on Omberon Island. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“That’s right. There’s nothing wrong with preparing for it, so it would be good to make full preparations on this side too.”
Theor also nodded, saying the same.
I told them about how Caroline and Crown Prince Lloyd used light attributes to handle the plague in the original story, and discussed methods to solve it in advance.
“In the original story, after the damage from the plague grew and there was distance to travel by carriage, many people suffered damage… Caroline.”
I stopped speaking and turned my head to look at Caroline, and Caroline answered “Yes?” with surprised eyes.
“You said you pour light attributes into the purification barrier stones at the Imperial Court.”
“Yes? Yes.”
At Caroline’s expression of ‘Why suddenly that?’, I looked at her with a serious expression and asked.
“Can you steal some of those?”
At my words, the faces of everyone there, including Greim, turned pale.
That was natural, since the purification barrier stones of the Imperial Court were sacred objects.
In the original story, there was only a brief description that Greim managed them after becoming the High Priest, so I still don’t know the detailed parts about divine beings and sacred objects.
However, I heard from her own mouth that the real reason Caroline with light attributes periodically went to the Imperial Court was to put light attributes into the sacred purification barrier stones.
Those purification barrier stones containing light attributes were always placed around the holy water when the Imperial Court opened to distribute holy water to ordinary people.
The reason was that just being near the purification barrier stones containing light attributes made one feel that their body and mind became clear.
The Imperial Court deliberately targeted that time to raise the value of holy water and sold it to people at expensive prices to solve the Imperial Court’s food, clothing, and shelter.
“This didn’t appear in the original story, and it’s a part I found out by asking Greim separately. I wasn’t curious about the reason for storing light attributes in that sacred object, but rather how long that sacred object containing Caroline’s light attributes could hold them.”
Then Caroline said that seeing how she periodically poured light attributes into the sacred objects at the Imperial Court, the light attributes must gradually leak out from the sacred objects.
I nodded.
“I’m thinking of breaking that sacred object to make tens of thousands of pieces, putting light attributes in them, and distributing them to villages throughout the Empire.”
If we did just that, even if the plague broke out to an unmanageable degree, there would be no need to travel around this vast Empire land using just carriages to treat the plague.
“And I thought of one thing.”
I looked at Theor and carefully continued speaking.
“About ancient monsters. If ancient monsters can be controlled with dark sorcery, then surely Theor, who has dark attributes, should be able to do it too. Dark sorcery is a power derived from dark attributes.”
Of course, I might also be able to control ancient monsters with my dark magic, which is similar to dark attributes.
“What do you intend to use ancient monsters for?”
Theor asked with a flustered expression.
He seemed curious about what I intended to do by taming monsters when I wasn’t even a dark sorcerer.
“To ride them.”
At my words, everyone there’s eyes widened to the point of popping out.
* * *
In the first place, moving around this vast Empire land only by carriage was quite inconvenient.
Since there weren’t portals like in the original world, when we worried about the original story’s plague and disasters, we also considered ways to quickly get to places where plagues and disasters occurred in this place.
Then suddenly, I thought of ancient monsters that moved by flying with giant wings.
Ancient monsters with bodies that could easily carry four people on their backs and move quickly with giant wings would surely make good mounts if tamed well.
Since dark sorcerers controlled ancient monsters to attack us, dark attributes, which could be called the root of dark sorcery, should surely be possible too.
The problem was how to use dark attributes to tame ancient monsters and where they revived so many ancient monsters.
But Pandeum easily solved my such concerns.
“Ancient monsters must have been revived at the place where ancient stones slumber, and you should know well the method of reviving them too.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Your healing magic also revives and uses healing bugs.”
“What? My caterpillars?!”
I had no idea. I only thought they were caterpillars made from my condensed dark magic power!
“If that were the case, would the master have bothered to heal in bug form? She would have tried to make them in some other form.”
Hearing that, I had very naturally never thought of making the caterpillar shape into other shapes.
It seemed I instinctively knew that wasn’t possible.
Anyway, if healing bugs were used by reviving them with dark magic, it meant ancient monsters could also be summoned with my power.
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t find a method, so it was worth bleeding to summon him as an advisor.
“Then, you must know. The method?”
“…”
“After all, the power you have isn’t much different from my dark magic. Right?”
When I asked with sparkling eyes, Pandeum’s face, who was looking at me, gradually began to contort.
It seemed he realized he had no choice but to teach me and Theor how to revive and tame ancient monsters with dark magic.
At that moment, I quickly grabbed the back of Pandeum’s neck as he turned his body to leave arbitrarily and began wrapping black shadows around his whole body, saying.
“Where are you going. We need to have class, tea. cher.”
“Ahhh! Let go! Let go of this!”
* * *
Theor and I began learning from Pandeum about methods to revive ancient monsters and make them move according to commands.
Caroline and Greim made plans to safely steal sacred objects to break them into pieces and distribute them to villages before spreading the plague.
And Crown Prince Lloyd and Perioze’s Sister spread among the nobility and unnamed countesses that the ancient monsters that attacked at the Hunting Festival and coming-of-age ceremony were our enemies, and that Theor and I were investigating after discovering strange points while fighting ancient monsters, so we could properly use ancient monsters as mounts.
Of course, knowing that rumors alone wouldn’t solve that part, they thoroughly prepared alibi evidence from the Hunting Festival and coming-of-age ceremony and submitted it directly to the Emperor in case I might be blamed for something.
Due to Perioze’s Sister’s concern that the Empress might damage even that since she wanted to eliminate me, Crown Prince Lloyd personally collected all circumstantial evidence that I didn’t control ancient monsters and gave it to the Emperor.
“His Majesty the Emperor said it would be better to think more about using ancient monsters as mounts.”
“Yes…?”
Flustered by the sudden words, I looked at Crown Prince Lloyd, and he said it was a part he was also considering.
“After all, they were the monsters that attacked us during the coming-of-age ceremony, and they’re none other than ancient monsters.”
It meant that since ancient monsters were dangerous monsters that once almost annihilated the Empire in the past, there would surely be much more negative reactions than positive ones among the Empire’s people.
Hearing that, it seemed like that was the case, so I pondered for a moment.
“Then what about just regular monsters?”
Perioze’s Sister asked me.
“If you just need something to ride around on, wouldn’t any monster with wings that can carry people work?”
“Are there such monsters?”
“There are, Demorga.”
At my question, Perioze’s Sister nodded and answered with a face that said it was obvious.
I asked Perioze’s Sister with sparkling eyes.
“Demorga? What’s that?”
