Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 127

Episode 127 〈Queen of Rocks〉

North of the Holy Kingdom.

The land of evil spirits beyond the sacrificial castle of Ronia.

Prisoners were climbing a snowy hill.

Cool air and frozen trees blocked the way.

Prisoners on reconnaissance missions were dissatisfied with the rough mountain roads and chilly weather.

“Damn, it’s not even fall yet and it’s snowing.”

“There’s snow even in the summer, so what’s the complaint?”

“That’s what they say.”

The prisoners clicked their tongues.

Still, he looked forward.

They were proud that they had built up good physical strength while serving in the military, but compared to the young man in front of them, their level was poor.

“No, but isn’t that guy even tired?”

“I heard you used to be a graveyard keeper, but your physical strength is amazing.”

“Gravekeeper? You’re funny. “Did you see the gravedigger use his sacred power?”

“Oh, the saint said that.”

“Oh, I see.”

The prisoners looked at the person named Schupell.

It is said that he was dispatched to the northern lands approximately 4 months ago.

There were rumors that he was a fallen nobleman, but no one knew if that was true.

Schupel let out white breath and looked ahead.

Fog and harsh snowstorm obscured the view.

I couldn’t see it with my eyes, but I could feel its magic and presence.

This feeling is definitely undead.

Schupel pulled out a sword from his waist.

‘Oh, I’m nervous.’

The only proper fights I’ve ever had were Aslan’s martial arts competition and the fight in the north.

I was fighting the undead every time, but I couldn’t get used to it.

“…Everyone be careful.”

The prisoners were startled by Schupel’s words and took out their weapons.

Dozens of shadows staggered out of the fog.

Height up to 2m, green skin and muscular body.

It’s an orc.

However, the bite wounds all over the body and the googly eyes were foreign. It was proving that they were zombies and not alive.

“What number is this today?”

“But you’re still a zombie, right? “There’s nothing to be scared of by slow-witted guys who aren’t just orcs.”

The prisoners drew their weapons.

They looked triumphant.

If it were them a long time ago, they would have trembled with fear seeing the dead.

Because they were monsters that moved even when cut with a sword or stabbed with a spear.

But it’s different now.

Under the saint’s protection, they experienced miracles.

They firmly believed that Goddess Gaia would also look down on them and protect them.

So there was only one thing they had to do.

By annihilating countless dead, purifying and saving their souls. It also saves more people and atones for their sins.

That was the task and mission given to them.

Schupell raises his head.

He frowned as he looked at the sky. He immediately stiffened and took a step back.

“Everyone…run away!”

“what?”

Schupel quickly turned around and ran.

“What are you talking about? Mr. Gravedigger. The opponent is an orc zombie. Of course, their super strength is scary, but if you’re dealing with slow-witted guys…”

“There’s a monster!”

Schupel grabbed the arm of the stunned prisoner and forced him to run.

Other prisoners followed Schupel with puzzled expressions.

The prisoners were puzzled to see Schupel sweating and looking anxious.

The prisoners turned their heads and looked back.

In the fog, something tall and tall was running fast.

“Ghoul?”

“Right. “Even if we are, the ghouls are still too much!”

Prisoners also run quickly.

said Schupell, panting and jumping.

“No, it’s not those guys that tell me I’m in danger!”

Schupel turned around and raised his head.

look at the sky

“What on earth is that…?”

Schupel’s face turned blue.

The other prisoners also turned their heads.

And everyone’s eyes widened.

A huge shadow stood in the thick fog and blizzard.

It has a broad face, body and limbs.

Every time it took a step, the ground resounded with a ‘thud thump’ sound.

Schupel recalled the books he read in the imperial palace a long time ago.

Stories from old myths.

The spirit world where fairies live, purgatory where the souls of the dead exist, and finally.

The world of giants that the gods were afraid of and sealed.

“…Jotunn.”

A giant only told in mythology stood on the northern land.

**

Warm sunlight shone through the window of the Royal Palace of Ayrans.

I raised my upper body from my bed and read a letter.

[Hello, Prince.]

The sender was: This is Charlotte.

She is currently working in Ronia in the north.

It will be December 25th in a month.

She will be busy at work trying to stop the wave of death.

It is a place where simple low-level undead haunt, but a count-level attack. It was a place I had to be wary of because I had been there before

. Charlotte wrote a letter asking me

how I was doing. Are you healthy? Are you not overexerting yourself? Are you eating properly?

That put a smile on my face.

It seems that my personality of liking to take care of others has not changed. It is.

I tilted my head as I finished reading the text.

After a brief greeting, her business was explained.

[Most of the soldiers and prisoners in the north are using holy power.]

I couldn’t help but make a perplexed expression. There wasn’t.

As expected….

I had an idea when I saw Yuria at the orphanage.

However, the number of awakened priests in the north that Charlotte mentioned was larger than expected. It is

estimated that there are about 800 users of holy power alone. About

500 of them are prisoners, and the remaining 300 are prisoners. Eight people were regular troops from Northern Ronia.

‘But it’s strange.’

They are all just newbies worse than apprentice priests. However, they are an armed group that cannot be ignored and cannot be ignored.

What is the reason why the Holy Emperor has not noticed until now despite the awakening of such a number of priests?

“Someone was hiding it.” “Is it okay?”

There is only one person who can control the prisoners and soldiers of Northern Ronia.

“Who commands the North?”

As I rested my chin and thought deeply, I remembered the lord of Northern Ronia.

It was definitely Count Gerald Lipang.

Since he was the lord who defended the north together, I remembered the name without difficulty.

I put down the letter and looked out the window.

It was now the end of October. I heard that.

Outside, there was a cool breeze and leaves falling in keeping with the autumn weather.

Why did Lord Gerald hide this fact?

That’s the question. I

‘m sure he wasn’t just vainly thinking that he had the earldom.

Charlotte and As Harmon goes north every time, it will be difficult to avoid the surveillance of the Holy Emperor.

I don’t know why.

I’ll find out when I go anyway.

I glanced at the last part of the letter again.

[I also need the prince’s help. ]

I narrowed my eyes.

A normal Charlotte would not have made a request like this.

Is it that urgent?

[According to reports, the progenitor vampire is in the Land of the Dead. There is also a mysterious giant creature…]

Vampires in the Land of the Dead? This is also full of questions.

The quality of the dead is probably low enough to create an undead army. They

may be trying to do something using the waves of death. It is

said that a mysterious giant has also been discovered.

That’s it . I had to find out about

“Besides.”

I read the warp data Hans gave me.

It also pointed to the north.

The group of vampires who attacked Aslan’s palace.

It said that the 2nd Prince Rupel’s colleagues were there.

“If you warp, you can go to Northern Ronia.”

I thought it was simple, but I shook my head.

That was impossible.

He said that powerful energy was needed for the warp.

Only an archmage could do it between countries, even if it was not a short distance.

I thought about asking Queen Rox for a favor. But That will be difficult since he seems to be suffering from aches and pains after Meteor.

“…But are you okay?”

I turned my gaze and looked to the side.

Elise was quietly peeling fruit.

Two weeks have passed since the attack on Taitalos.

Even I have not yet recovered and am lying in bed, but this saintly martial artist is next to me without any problem. I’m nursing at .

Maybe I’m just overdoing it and pretending like nothing’s wrong.

“Of course.”

Even as she said that, sweat was beading on Ellis’ forehead.

It’s nice to see her as a therapist who enjoys taking care of patients, but I hope she doesn’t overdo it.

“Oh, Monk Han gave me this to give to the prince.”

Ellis opened a leather pouch on the floor and took out a bottle and held it out to me. It

looked like a gourd, and it contained a thick green liquid.

The color was like the sap of a man-eating plant from Taitalos.

Hans was something strange again. “I made it.

” “Monk Han said so, so let’s try adding the holy water that the prince made.”

“Holy water?”

I thought of Taitalos.

What about the holy water that was overflowing there?

“It is said that it is effective only if it is freshly made. From what I heard, there shouldn’t be any foreign substances in it…”

I opened the vial and stretched out the tip of my finger.

I summoned holy water and poured it into the vial.

The green liquid turned purple.

“What is this?”

Ellis shook his head with a perplexed expression.

She didn’t seem to know either.

I shook the gourd.

Could it be poison?

It couldn’t be because it contained holy water.

At that time, the door opened.

It was Hans.

He shouted with a happy expression.

“I deciphered it!”

I frowned at those words.

Perhaps the decoding of the warp had not been completed yet.

As I thought about this, Hans held out a golden bracelet and said,

“Aztalun, the letter of the gods!”

**

Queen Rox was recuperating with the help of her maids.

She sat on the balcony of the royal palace and looked outside.

Birds were flying.

People were out and about in the city and having a good time.

But that was only an appearance.

It was peaceful . Vampires appeared in the Kingdom of Airans, which seemed to be in good condition, and were subjugated.

This country can no longer be considered safe.

Also, he himself was not in a very good condition.

It seems that the Holy Empire is hiding it, but according to information from the Airans royal family, vampires are already everywhere. They were all over the world.

They were hiding in the center of each country and raising armies. They

were preparing for war.

The Roman Kingdom’s civil war was also the work of vampires.

There was no guarantee that the Kingdom of Airans would not suffer the same fate as the Roman Kingdom.

‘That’s why . That’s why I have to prepare.’

As I got older, my physical strength became so weak

that even just one Meteor was enough to make me queasy.

‘And the war with vampires.’

Queen Rox gently closed her eyes and muttered,

“I heard that Celt chose the 7th prince as his successor.”

Queen Rox opened her eyes and looked at the document in her hand,

“That’s something I can’t compromise on.”

The letter written in her own blood even had the royal seal stamped on it.

Queen Rox smiled bitterly and folded it neatly and placed it in an envelope.

“Your Majesty the Queen.”

At the maid’s call, Queen Rox turned her gaze back.

One of the maids folded her hands and bowed her head.

“The 7th Prince is preparing to leave.”

Queen Rox smiled bitterly at the maid’s words.

We’ve only met for a short time, but she’s already leaving like this.

She hasn’t done anything for the 7th prince yet.

“Are you leaving like this?”

I had a great time thanks to Celt’s grandson.

The trip to Taitalos was full of joy and excitement rather than fear.

The fight with the Archangel allowed me to take revenge and at the same time feel a pleasure I had never felt before.

It was like when I was young with Celt. It felt like we were traveling together.

I had to at least say thank you to the 7th prince for giving me good memories in my short life.

And,

“I have to give you this letter too.”

Queen Rox looked down at the letter and smiled.

It was the last gift she could give to the 7th Prince and an important document that determined the fate of the Kingdom of Airans.

**

I looked at the bracelet Hans brought.

I used [Mind’s Eye] to find it. I looked inside, but I couldn’t see its function.

There was a slight crack in the bracelet that summoned the Archangel.

Is it broken?

That might be why I couldn’t see the Mind’s Eye.

I looked around the bracelet out of anxiety. The

crack was small, but it had divine power. They are gathering:

“Don’t worry, it seems to be recovering on its own.”

I was relieved by Hans’ words.

Magic is so convenient.

It’s not science fiction nanotechnology, but it restores itself. It

was really fortunate.

If I didn’t have Prosperous Ordin’s Noble Phantasm after going through all that trouble, I would have gone crazy out of resentment.

Anyway, “

Put some in there.”

I looked at Hans.

Hans was preparing a small furnace filled with metal powder made from ground Elterra and heated needles.

Wearing goggles and leather gloves, he looked like a mechanic.

Of course, his eyes looked like a madman.

“What? Aztalun. “Shouldn’t this be engraved on the prince’s body?”

It seems like I’m having fun getting tattoos on my body.

Looking at Hans excitedly, I shook my head. It’s good to improve Aztalune’s abilities, but if I get the runes implanted into Hans now, I’ll collapse.

“I’m not feeling well .

.”

“…Is that so.”

Hans nodded with regret.

Then there was a knock on the door. When

Ellis gave him a look asking for permission, he nodded.

Ellis opened the door and saw Queen Rox through the door.

“Queen Rox?”

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a simple dress,

holding a letter in her hand, she looked like a noble lady and said,

“7th Prince, can you give me a moment?”
