The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 253: The Sage Aims to Resurrect the Hero

The day after the eting, I went to the laboratory in the basent of the royal capital.

It was for discussing the thod of resurrecting that person with the director.

As soon as I headed to the front entrance, the director ca to welco .

Well well, if it isnt Demon Lord-sama! Thank you for coming all the way here!

The director greeted in a polite tone.

She was exaggerating as usual.

Even if she said, all the way here, this place was not that far from the castle.

And even if the distance was far, it ant nothing to since I could use a transfer.

After a light greeting, we entered the laboratory.

As we moved, I noticed the director acting suspiciously.

She seed restless since before.

It was as if she was trying to find out sothing.

Whats wrong?

I heard Gwen-san went with you earlier

I understood when I heard that.

It seed that the director wanted to et Gwen.

She had been in charge of monitoring Gwen for the past year, and it seed that the director liked Gwen quite a bit.

I relayed what Gwen told earlier to the director.

I persuaded her to return, but she refused. It seed she didnt feel too good in the laboratory.

Oh my, it cant be helped then. Thats too bad, but I shouldnt force her to stay.

Strictly speaking, Gwen didnt feel good because of the director rather than the laboratory, but I wouldnt say that.

That said, Gwens help was essential for that persons resurrection.

I want Gwen to deepen her friendship with the director.

I have no confidence in convincing her, so maybe I should ask Luciana instead?

As I added another agenda into my internal checklist, I changed the topic.

By the way, what of that thing?

Theres nothing wrong with it. Its surprisingly stable.

I see.

I told the director about the matter in advance through telepathy.

I also explained the policies and plans decided at the eting.

The director didnt seem to have any objections either.

She seed satisfied as long as she could continue her research freely.

A consistent attitude as usual.

Well well, Im honored to be involved in the resurrection of the dead! Im excited for it!

Im glad then.

Looking at how happy the director was over it, I felt a little worried.

In a sense, she seed to look forward to that persons resurrection more than I did.

It was to the point that she was feeling excited over it.

As we were walking around the facility, I saw other copies of the director.

Every one of them was flying about without exception.

It might be because other researches were progressing well, but it was more likely they felt happy because they could actually resurrect that person.

I suddenly felt curious and asked the director.

Do you have no fear or hesitation on committing sothing taboo?

It would be a lie if I said I had none at all. But in my case, my intellectual curiosity and inquisitiveness prevails. As a result, I dont mind how it affects the world.

You sure are an exemplary researcher.

Its a complint that is wasted on .

We eventually arrived at our destination.

We unlocked a number of barriers and locks along the way as we proceeded.

When the door opened, I checked just in case.

You said theres no trace of ego in it?

Yes, I always checked, but I couldnt find any trace of ego. Theres no interference from anyone else either.

The director gave the answer I expected.

The security equipnt here was perfect.

The director herself had complete control of the facility all the ti.

It would be hard for anything to intrude.

Even soone as capable as Gwen couldnt do anything without being caught by the director.

In addition, countless directors kept coming up with ideas and made improvents practically every day, making this place undoubtedly the number one fortress in the world.

Currently, there were no dangerous people to watch out for, and it was unlikely for problems to occur.

I looked to the center of the room.

There was a glass container installed there.

Inside it, a white, mist-like mass floated.

It was the soul of one of the four heavenly kings of the previous Demon Lord, Baruch.
