Reincarnation: Only I Can Play The Villain

"Um... Mr. Fool, did you encounter something good?"

After returning to the tavern room, Enri asked this question with some confusion.

"Just made a very profitable transaction."

Chu Mu nodded and then touched his cheek.

"Am I being so obvious?"

"Well...it's a little different from ordinary adults."

Enri answered cautiously.

He was afraid that he would attract the wrath of the Fool because of his casual words.

There was one more thing she didn't dare to say.

That's... "It looks like a kid getting a new toy."

If you really say it, you will probably be thrown into the insect hell of the Great Tomb, right?

I heard from the maids that there is a prison in Nazarick that is specially used to torture and torture prisoners.

It is filled with man-eating insects that will eat up all the mortals who fall into it.

But restored by healing magic, the prisoner can never die.

I can only experience the pain of being eaten by insects again and again.

Such an encounter... Even just thinking about it in her mind makes Enri's scalp numb.

She didn't want to be thrown into that kind of place... Even if she died directly, it would be better than this fate!

Chu Mu seemed to notice something and glanced at Enri with a half-smile.

"As my 'apprentice', you are too courageous.

"That's right. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow night to practice your courage."

"ah?"

Enri didn't expect such a thing to happen and asked subconsciously.

"Lord Fool, where are we going?"

"Since it's about exercising courage..."

Chu Mu smiled slightly and said matter-of-factly.

"Of course we have to go to the 'cemetery' at night."

In the dark night, the silhouette of a clothed figure walks across the muddy ground with great sensitivity.

It had just rained and the soil was very soft, but the figure seemed to have no weight, crossing over the mud lightly without leaving any trace.

The direction she was heading was the city cemetery of Elandir.

Moving as dexterously as a cat, the figure in a dark cloak looks like a wandering ghost.

If an unconscious drunk passes by here, he may think that he has encountered the rumored midnight ghost.

The figure cleverly avoided the magic street lights in the cemetery and continued to move deeper. Soon he came to the door of the ancestral hall and took off the hooded cloak that covered his body.

It was a young woman who was about twenty years old and in her prime.

Its facial features are exquisite and upright, and it is as cute as a feline, but it hides the danger of carnivore nature.

"It's finally here. It took a lot of effort."

The cat-like young woman said softly. She lifted up her short golden hair and pushed open the stone door of the ancestral hall with her slender arms.

After entering the ancestral hall, there was nothing on the stone platform where the body was placed, and even the tributes offered to the deceased had been removed.

The aroma of incense used to drive away the rancid smell constantly stimulated the woman's nasal cavity, which made her frown slightly.

Fortunately, she doesn't need to stay here for too long.

After approaching a stone pillar, the woman hummed a tune while pressing the inconspicuous hidden mechanism on the pillar.

Accompanied by a "click" sound, it seemed as if some mechanism began to rotate in the dark, and there were constant "click-click" sounds.

Then, the stone pillar moved slowly, revealing a passage leading to the underground.

"I'm coming in~"

The words with a naughty ending seemed to be announcing his upright arrival.

The woman walked down the stairs casually and came to a wide space.

Although the walls and floors are made of undecorated earth, they still have a certain hardness after simple treatment.

The air is not stuffy either, it seems like there are vents somewhere else.

It is obvious that this is a place that originally existed on the ground.

There are strange tapestries hanging on the surrounding walls, and below there are several red candles refined from blood.

The smell of burnt blood and the red candlelight complement each other, making it look particularly evil.

In this space, there are several passages that are high enough for a person, and they emit a corpse smell that cannot be covered up by incense.

This is the unique smell of first-level undead creatures.

"I saw you."

After looking around, Nanzi's eyes stayed in a shadow.

"No need to hide, the guests have already come to the door."

The man hiding in the shadows shook his body in confusion.

"Hello, I'm here to see little Kaji here. Is he here?"

At this moment, a hoarse sound came from deeper inside.

"Okay, please step back."

What appeared in the square next was a thin man.

His eyes were sunken, his face was too pale to look like a living person, and his head was bare and lifeless.

Not only that, he doesn't even have eyebrows, eyelashes or other hair, making him look like a low-end version of Voldemort.

This appearance makes it difficult to judge his age, but from the fact that there are almost no wrinkles, it can be seen that he is not old.

The man's clothes were also very strange. His dark red robe seemed to have been soaked in a pool of blood.

Wearing a necklace made of small animal skulls around his neck, his hands were so thin that they were only skin and bones.

"Hello ~ little Kaji."

The woman (cadf)'s flirtatious greeting made the man frown.

"Change the name. This will damage the reputation of 'Zhilanong'."

Zhilanon - a well-known evil organization with great power.

Its members are all composed of experienced and powerful magic chanters. They have caused several tragic disasters and can be said to be notorious.

"Yeah?"

.....So, why did you come to me?

The man's brows were almost twisted into knots as he looked at the woman in front of him and asked.

"You should know that I am injecting power into the Orb of Death. I have been preparing for this day for 5 years..."

"If you plan to come over and cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The man narrowed his eyes and involuntarily clenched the staff in his hand.

"Oh, that's annoying, little Kaji...I'm here to help you."

The woman showed a charming smile and kept groping inside the cloak, as if she was doing something to entertain herself.

But then, she happily took out an item from her clothes - it was a crown.

Countless fine gems are dotted on slender metal wires like spider silk, like spider webs stained with water droplets.

The exquisite workmanship is nothing special at first glance, and in the center of the crown is a huge black crystal.

"Is this...is this?!"

The man couldn't help but be stunned. He recognized this famous treasure.

"The symbol of the Witch Princess, the crown of the wise! Isn't this one of the secret treasures of Slian's education?!"

"That's right."

The woman explained with a smile.

"Because I saw the miko princess wearing this weird thing, so I grabbed it."

"It would be great if you could see the expression on that tall, dignified and holy princess when she was being played crazy by me."

"It's normal to be crazy. After all, this is the restriction of the Wise Man's Crown."

The man calmed down and sneered.

"But only certain people can use this crown. You and I should not be able to use it."

The effect of the Wise Man's Crown is to seal the wearer's "self" and turn the human being into a prop that can only use ultra-high-level magic.

With his human body, he can even activate seventh-level magic!

This is something that even a strong mortal who has stepped into the realm of heroes can find it difficult to do.

"I have a way to use it."

The woman finally stopped her smile and said again.

"Will you cooperate with me, Khajiit?"

.....Clementine, what do you want me to help you with?"

The man named Khajiit narrowed his eyes and stared at the opponent like a thunder snake.

"There is a natural superpower named Nfilia in Elandir. He can use all magic items unconditionally."

Clementine seems to have already obtained the information and is waiting for the other party to take the bait.

"As a trade, I will help you perform the ritual, how about it?"

“Very good deal.”

The corners of Khajiit's mouth raised slightly, revealing an extremely evil smile.

"If you help me, I can carry out the 'Death Ceremony' in advance.

"Then the entire Elandir Fortress will become a paradise for undead creatures!"

"So, the deal is done?"

"certainly.

Clementine also showed a playful smile and was about to reach out to shake Khajiit's hand.

But I heard a strange male voice suddenly coming from the square.

"Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt your transaction.

Chu Mu revealed his figure slowly, followed by Enri who looked frightened.

"Can you please help my apprentice gain courage?"
