Chapter 1079: Give it a try (1)
This sharp stinging sensation was as if someone was taking an ice pick right to my head.
It was as if they were stabbing that ice pick right into my brain with the way that the stinging sensation was hitting me.
But I knew that this pain wasn't there for no reason.
The reason why I was in this kind of pain was all because of the large amounts of information that was filling my brain. It was as if there were several volumes of an encyclopedia that was being pumped into my brain at once.
I wasn't confused about what this information was or where it was from.
That was because the first piece of information that I saw was a memory from the owner of this knowledge.
It was the memory of the lich before it became a lich.
The lich was actually an orphan who had died a tragic death one day.
He used to work as an adventurer, but he was the lowest grade adventurer.
One day, he was accompanying a merchant group during a storm and lightning struck the bridge that they were crossing. Because of the storm, the river was much higher than usual and flowing much faster, which resulted in the lich being carried away in an instant.
That was how he died.
Then he was revived as an ordinary skeleton by a necromancer, but that necromancer eventually died as well.
With the magic books of the necromancer, the lich was eventually able to gain its own intelligence and become a lich after gathering enough dark energy.
That was how the lich had become a lich in the end.
After that came the endless knowledge that the lich had gained over its many centuries of life. This knowledge seemed to have been purified and stuffed into my brain, which was what the black ball was. It was all of the knowledge that the lich possessed condensed into a single ball. Of course, this was just too much knowledge for one person, namely for one human to absorb all at once.
So when it was all over, I could tell that there was a seal that was placed on the knowledge from the lich that had been crammed into my head. I would be able to access it from time to time, but the seal was there to prevent it from overflowing into my brain and overwhelming
me.
So I was able to keep my mind even though it was now overflowing with information. Though there was one part of the knowledge that did interest me.
The lich had received the Orb of the Dead later on in life.
Namely, it had received it from a demon that had visited it and gave it some instructions on where to channel this Orb of the Dead.
It seemed that the demons were behind this undead horde that came to attack our kingdom. Only why would they do this?
There were too many holes that I couldn't figure things out and at the same time, I didn't really get the time to think about this. That was because after the knowledge filled my brain, the space around me seemed to fade away.
It was hard to tell if it was the space that was disappearing or if there was something wrong with my eyes.
But in the end, the space disappeared and I found myself opening my eyes.
The moment that I opened them, I heard someone saying, "He's awake! His majesty is awake!"
After this, it didn't take long for a group of people to rush into the room that I was sleeping in. But this room wasn't that big in the first place since it was just a room in one of the few buildings at this place.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was supposed to be the captain's room, but it was taken by me currently.
They crowded around the bed and the one that grabbed me by the shoulder before thrusting his face in front of me was Klein.
After coming in front of me, he said, "Your majesty, are you alright?"
Even though he was being rough, I could tell that this was his way of being worried about me.
So I raised my hand and waved it before saying with a casual smile, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just exhausted from using that staff, I'm not injured at all."
Though I said this, I could feel the pain that was still in my head, though that was for a completely different reason.
Seeing that I was smiling like this, Klein narrowed his eyes before saying, "Do you even know what you've done? Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"
I was caught off guard by this sudden change in his tone and expression, but a bitter feeling filled me. I didn't say anything in the end since he was right, I had caused quite a bit of trouble by deciding to take action like that.
So I just sat there and listened to his lecture.
His lecture showed his concern for me, but there really wasn't anything that concerned me about the lecture. That was until he reached the end of it and said something that scared me.
"The prime minister and the queens are waiting for you back in the capital."
That was like a bucket of cold water suddenly being splashed on me.
It was like a wakeup call from a dream with the way that he suddenly said this.
But there was nothing that I could do about this since it was my fault in the first place. With a sigh, I pushed aside this matter and asked, "What happened to the undead?" This time, Klein revealed an awkward look.
It wasn't awkward because he was in a bad situation, it was awkward because it seemed like he didn't know how to respond to this question which just confused me.
In the end, Klein said with a sigh, "Let's go and take a look. You'll understand once you see."
But at the end of this, he added, "Of course, we'll be watching from the walls and you won't be allowed near a wyvern."
A bitter smile appeared on my lips, but I nodded in agreement in the end.
Even if I wanted to fight, I clearly wasn't in the shape for it.
