Holy Emperor’s Grandson is a Necromancer - Chapter 184
Episode 184 〈 Spreading Plague 〉
Agares hurriedly headed to the castle.
I was thrown into confusion by the screams coming from all over the city.
What on earth? What happened!
Arriving at the citadel, Agares shouted as she pushed Marcus into the prison cell.
“How did this happen!”
I scream loudly.
He was so angry that veins appeared on his forehead.
He grabbed Marcus by the neck as if he was going to kill him at any moment.
Marcus Ariana glared at him as if it were rather laughable.
“It’s just as you said.”
Agares was shocked and closed her mouth.
“His Majesty the Holy Emperor is doing something. He will hunt you!”
“You crazy priest!”
Agares punched Marcus in the front.
Marcus fell and fell against the prison wall.
“Fix the shackles.”
The lycans rushed over and shackled Marcus.
“And report. “The current situation in this territory…!”
Under Agares’ command, the vampires began investigating the Chaber territory.
They discovered something surprising.
“…plague?”
“That’s right.”
It was a report that was discovered in two days.
The subordinate vampire says.
“It is a plague spreading among our own people. “It seems to have spread around those who preyed on humans.”
The more Agares heard the story, the more goosebumps she got and the more she tied her arms.
“It is said that in the case of creatures, even progenitors who die instantly become weak and their lives are in danger.”
Agares pressed her temples.
“Also, killing humans seems to be a problem. Because their blood comes from holy power. There is a risk that the plague will spread in an instant.
“Are you telling me to believe that now?”
The vampire who was reporting was also very confused.
What is a plague?
Isn’t it a disease that only spreads to weak humans and animals?
A disease that makes them weak and causes death when it gets worse.
It was spreading among the vampires.
It looks like the world is really coming to an end. This is it.
An era in which vampires cannot suck human blood and a plague that only works on vampires is coming.
What on earth has the Seonghwang family done…!
The world is going crazy.
“You cruel bastards!”
“It is dangerous to leave the hostages like this. It would be better to dig up the ground and bury the hostages alive…”
“No! That is absolutely not possible!”
Duke Agares shook his head.
This was a warning from the Holy Emperor.
The idea was that they would not allow any more hostages to be killed.
Nevertheless, if they killed all the hostages, then the Holy Emperor would begin to advance.
‘Or another thought . ‘Maybe there is.’
I didn’t even know that the vampires were planning to kill the hostages.
That would make it easier for them to move.
If you think about it, they were like crazy people.
Have you forgotten the time of Aslan? They
gave a few cities in return for taking the prince hostage. They devastated
Aslan. Rather, they were the ones who declared destruction if the prince was not given to Aslan or if he was injured.
It was abnormal to take hostages against such guys.
“We will stop the plague first.”
“But there is no way to stop it…”
“A plague of this scale would have been carried out from within, not from the outside.”
Agares said to the vampire,
“There will be Sejak. Find them!”
**
It was very easy to spread a pestilence that was useful to vampires.
The survivors and abundant field rats here were also well-made into sewage, so if you applied these, you could spread it surprisingly quickly.
The vampires’ screams were heard at any time of the day or night. I heard it.
The lycans were also worried, and the zombies were gradually disappearing.
This city began to be purified before we knew it.
“Here we are. This is a trustworthy person named Karei. He is a faithful believer of Gaia!”
Rover brought me trustworthy survivors in broad daylight, avoiding the eyes of vampires and lycans.
I bestowed grace on them as a bonus by curing them of the plague.
Those who received the blessing became healthy and vibrant.
As a bonus, holy power was infused into their blood. As the blood-sucking vampires stayed there for just a moment, they either died or suffered.
“I caught you too, uncle!”
The children caught the rats.
I even blessed those rats.
The rats bit and their holy power was transmitted to the vampires.
The rats of the plague that brought disaster to humans are now a blessing to humans and a plague that spits out blood to vampires. It will be given to you.
If it lasts for a week,
it was the validity period of the blessing.
It was enough to cause confusion in the meantime.
I looked at the church.
Before I knew it, many people had gathered and were praying with their hands together.
[Your Majesty.]
Survivors As I was giving the blessing, I could hear Charlotte’s voice faintly in my ear.
It is difficult to hear her voice due to the weather.
Although I cannot contact her often, she maintains separate contact with the grill and reports to me. Uploaded.
[I heard what the situation was like there through the grill. The disease is spreading through blessings.]
Charlotte looks embarrassed even after saying
this. It must be strange to say that blessings are spreading like a disease.
In the first place, he is a sacred necromancer. Because the thing itself is a heterogeneous and contradictory entity.
I said to Charlotte.
[They?]
[They are about to contact an acquaintance to find out the situation here and the castle’s internal structure. It is also said that Duke Agares entered the castle not long ago.]
Az Communication using Talun is good, but it comes with significant limitations,
such as the influence of weather or limitations on the number of people you can connect to.
In my case, I am connected to Charlotte.
In order to connect with many people, I have to be quite close. .
[Brother Marcus?]
[It looks like he came with Duke Agares.]
I have figured out the situation to some extent.
Is he in the fortress?
Then, all we have to do is take out Marcus, who has infiltrated the fort, and lead the survivors here to evacuate to a safe place.
Problem This means that they must remain calm until then.
We must cause an incident that will confuse even them.
It means that we must create chaos itself.
[And it seems that Marquis Hans Gerard has reached the vicinity of Chabert’s estate. He should be able to contact you by now. I will.]
[Okay, thank you. I will contact him separately.]
[Understood.]
Communication was cut off.
I sent a message to Hans just in case.
[Hans.]
No response.
[Hans?]
[…It seems that His Majesty Seonghwang has decided to kill me. You’re asking the alchemist Naburangi to face the vampire duke.]
A dissatisfied voice that I haven’t heard in a long time.
I burst out laughing and the people in the church tilted their heads at me.
[It seems like communication is working properly.]
[Because it’s near the Chabert territory. However, the day is hot. If you make a mistake, there is a risk of being disconnected.]
[I want to ask you something.]
[What is it?]
I asked Hans about a question I had for a long time.
[I wanted to know about purgatory.]
[You mean purgatory?]
[Yes, purgatory.]
I was busy trying to contact Hans.
Bless the survivors.
Then, the mice were revived as zombies and made to explore the surroundings.
This is to find out the route through which one can invade the fortress.
It’s easy to know the route to infiltrate the fortress.
However, from now on, vampires are also wary of the plague, so it is nearly impossible to infiltrate the castle as a zombie rat.
It would be nice if I could just know the inside of the castle.
When you think like that.
There was something in the zombie rat’s sight.
They are a group of people walking through an underground waterway where holy water flows.
Grill Edolf Uria.
And one guide to guide them.
‘Oh, you’re an acquaintance of Grill.’
It seems that they too have received a report from Charlotte and are looking for a route to infiltrate the fortress.
I thought deeply.
Then, he used the zombie rat to head to where Edolf was.
Although it is dangerous, there are things they must do.
This is infiltration into the fortress.
**
Grill and Edolf Yuria were walking through the underground waterway.
The guide to the underground tunnel was a man named Faelon, an acquaintance of Grill.
“Thank you, Phaelon, for helping us with such a dangerous task!”
Faelon laughed awkwardly at Grill’s words.
He looked at the underground waterway with a surprised expression.
Places that should have been dark due to lack of light are now shining brightly.
It’s all because of the holy water.
“No, I’m trying to survive too. But you are amazing priests. I can’t believe it’s a plague that only works on vampires!”
Yuria and Grill were perplexed by Phaelon’s words.
They had no way of knowing about the plague that had spread to this territory.
There was a story they heard from Charlotte through the communication.
-There is another person who has infiltrated there. Please spare him the trouble. Please do not harm her.
As a Marquis, if she is someone to be respected, it means that she is a high person.
Yuria and Grill had doubts, but Edolph was able to guess who it was.
“If you go straight here, you will come across a sewer connected to the castle.”
Phaelon pointed to the sewer with his finger and said to Grill and the others,
“Thank you, thank you!”
Grill hugged her:
“Edolph, now report to Charlotte!”
Grill spoke to Edolph.
At the same time, he tilted his head in confusion.
Edolph was squatting down and looking at a field mouse.
“…I didn’t know that Uncle Edolph could talk to a mouse.”
“That’s right.”
Edolf held the field mouse in his arms,
while looking at Grill and Yuria.
“Here are the orders for the next mission.”
“what?”
Have you just talked to Charlotte?
“It is an order from His Majesty the Holy Emperor.”
Yuria and Grill’s expressions hardened.
“Captured by a vampire and infiltrating the castle.”
Edolf turned his gaze to look at Faelon.
“We need you to snitch on us.”
Faelon looked dumbfounded at those words.
**
Edolf and Grill Yuria’s arms were shackled.
The fortress of Chabert territory.
dungeon.
Grill cursed at his friend from behind the bars.
“You damn traitor! “I will throw you into a bucket of slime!”
“You did a good job. Livestock.”
Faelon rubbed her hands at Lycan’s words.
He said while looking at the Lycan.
“Thank you.”
“As compensation, I will extend your life a little longer.”
“…”
Phaelon bowed and broke into a cold sweat.
Still, I glanced at the grill.
He looks quite worried.
“…I came in without any friction.”
Yuria licked her lips.
“But there’s nothing you can do.”
Infiltration was surprisingly easy.
Phaelon pushed back and the Lycans surrounded Edolf and his group.
Edolf and Grill Yuria laid down their weapons and surrendered without resistance.
That’s how I ended up in prison.
The problem comes after that.
All equipment was taken away.
No matter how much they had trained, there was nothing they could do if they came here with nothing.
“The only thing waiting for me now is torture. Now that I think about it, I really hated the torture training.”
Grill groaned at Yuria’s words,
“But I still have to do something.”
“No, this is enough.”
Edolf said positively.
Yuria shrugged her shoulders.
“What are you going to do?”
Edolf took out a field mouse from his pocket and placed it on the floor.
Grill and Yuria looked at the field mouse and tilted their heads.
And he looked at Edolf as if asking if he was out of his mind.
“…What is that?”
“What are you going to do if you let a rat loose?”
“It’s not just a rat.”
Edolf smiled and said,
“It’s His Majesty’s rat.”
The zombie rat got out of the iron bars and ran quickly down the prison hallway.
The zombie rat’s vision was shared with Allen.
It looked inside each and every iron bar of the prison.
A cold corpse or a desiccated prisoner.
No.
None.
A little deeper.
And running. Reached location.
An iron door located in a corner at the end of the hallway.
A zombie rat climbed on top of the iron door.
It stuck its head out through the hole for surveillance.
Allen smiled through the zombie rat.
‘I found it!’
Marcus Ariana,
a young man who had collapsed with his arms and legs in shackles ,
was there.
