Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 142

Episode 142. Tiger’s Den

The weather was getting chilly.

Especially in the case of the North, I was able to see people wearing thick coats.

widely.

“I eat this with sauce.”

The waitress left food on the table where we were sitting.

It was said that it was the meat of a one-horned rabbit that only lives in the north, but it was a food that had never been eaten before.

As the waiter told me, I dipped the meat in the sauce that came with it and ate it.

‘Should I pour it?’

In the middle of my silly thoughts, I felt someone naturally approach the table where I was sitting.

“There are no seats, so may I sit with you?”

He nodded his head as he had already heard in the note.

When the other person sat across from me, I checked his face.

‘I asked who came… … .’

He knew someone would approach him, but he was someone he knew.

By the way, even though the northern part is called the outskirts of the outskirts, warlocks are openly roaming around.

Where I am now is Borgijen, one of the cities located in the north.

I was taking scheduled actions at the restaurant where I was promised to attend the meeting.

‘At most, I thought an errand boy would come, but even if it’s not a great guy, I thought a black magician would come to meet me.’

Of course, people didn’t recognize it, but it was definitely a part where you could feel that the northern border was all toward barbarians. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to act like this, no matter how hidden I was.

“Master! Rabbit meal here too!”

“OK.”

I heard a voice from the kitchen and the other person turned his head and looked at me.

“Yeah. The weather is getting colder these days. It looks like you came up from the bottom? Aren’t you cold?”

Ignoring his sentiments, I finished eating the rabbit meat.

I want to be a little rugged, but that was also its own charm.

Also, there was a distinctive smell of meat that seemed to have some likes and dislikes, but it didn’t feel bad because he has a personality that eats anything well.

“You are a quiet person.”

“The food you ordered is here. Dip it with the sauce and eat it.”

“Here’s a beer.”

“Yes.”

When I ordered a beer for the waiter, the person across the street started talking to me.

“Are you done with your work? Seeing that you’re already ordering a drink?”

“brown.”

When I called his name, I could see his pupils widen unexpectedly.

“Why don’t you shut up while eating.”

“Uh uh… … ?”

The reaction is worth seeing.

I finished slicing the rabbit meat into my mouth and drank the beer the waiter brought me.

After all, beer is northern.

Being a cold region, it seemed to be better than the lower regions when it came to brewing.

No matter how many mana trains there are, it’s a little too far for beer of this quality to be transported to the capital.

Brown ate quietly, whether it was because I had once scolded him or if he was surprised to learn his name.

As soon as I finished eating and got up from my seat, I could see them hurrying up after me.

The sunset was setting by the time we entered the restaurant, but it was already dark.

As winter approaches here, as on Earth, the nights get longer.

“You’re right to have a personality.”

Brown, who followed me, grumbled, not hiding himself any longer.

And this time, as if it was his turn, he started walking ahead.

“Originally, this is not a place for a kid like you to participate. Consider yourself lucky.”

“Is Brown Crook still the same?”

“You bastard!”

He suddenly stopped and started glaring at me.

But knowing that the action was self-defense out of anxiety made me laugh.

“Why are you so hot when I ask you how I’m doing?”

“You know my name, but how do you know Master’s name?”

“Is that so strange? There are many strange things. Quickly give directions.”

“You bastard dog. See you at the meeting.”

It was something that a third-rate villain would say, so I was dumbfounded inside.

I had a different reason for provoking him like this, but he reacted to me one by one, so it tasted like teasing.

‘The fact that Brown is present means that even the smallest guys attended this meeting.’

Come to think of it, Salem killed everyone at the last meeting.

I don’t know if they were meeting participants or just warlocks trying to steal sloths.

As I walked behind Brown, I could see that I was taking an unexpected turn.

The place where we finally arrived is none other than the place where the owner of this city is staying.

‘Did Lord Borgien have anything to do with the black magicians?’

This is another fact I’ve come across for the first time.

After collecting good information, I followed Brown through the back door.

The back door was secret so that no one would know who was coming, but those who checked the identity were only those who felt shady.

“That kid then. A bold guy.”

There was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

The first black magician I checked upon entering was none other than Dragan of the deep sea.

There’s no doubt that Salem made him feel like a bit of a jerk, but he was actually quite a famous black magician.

‘A middle boss from the Black Sea episode.’

It was in the same position as Charon, but much stronger as he was the mid-boss of the episode that follows. Besides, the main battlefield where you fight him is the perfect environment for him, so the fight is more difficult.

“Dragan.”

“You have a short mouth? no matter what In the first place, I don’t want to be polite to a guy who doesn’t belong to the assembly.”

Dragan always had a gentlemanly appearance, wearing a fedora and tuxedo.

He wasn’t bad looking, so he was popular with noble ladies, and he was a character who knew how to take advantage of that popularity.

“You didn’t come with Salem this time, did you? What were you thinking?”

“I came because I was invited.”

“you idiot? Or are you pretending not to know?”

“I’m not stupid enough to worry. Thank you for caring me.”

Unlike Brown, I haven’t had to pretend to Dragan yet.

Even if I lose Chuck in the first place, I can beat Dragan with my current skills… … .

‘… … I’m confident of winning, but it’s dangerous to kill a Dragan-class person.’

His position in the assembly and Dragan’s power were quite strong.

In the first place, he felt like a political wizard, so his skills were good, but there were many tricky elements.

After hearing my answer, Dragan adjusted his monocle.

“okay. I don’t have anything to gain from touching you, so I’ll stop here. I just asked because I was curious because I didn’t know you would come.”

“Did you not know I was coming?”

“I did not know. Come to think of it, who were you invited to?”

At that time, Brown, who was next to him, answered instead.

“Hegel sent me.”

“Heigel-sama? When did you make a string like that again?”

Dragan, with an admiring expression, said as if he was genuinely surprised.

Anyway, it seems that Hegel didn’t inform the meeting that he had invited me.

Wouldn’t the jester who suddenly bumped into me see me and try to kill me?

“He’s a strange guy. Then why did you refuse to join the rally? You know that there aren’t any kids who think well of you, right?”

“Because I can’t belong anywhere yet.”

It was a lie.

I just did the calculations and decided that there were more losses than gains.

“Anyway, let’s go in like this. I had just arrived.”

Dragan’s demeanor seemed to have changed after he brought up the story of being invited by Hegel.

It was also a disprove that Hegel’s power was strong.

I went into the building with Dragan, with Brown behind me.

The building was inside the inner castle where the lord’s castle was located, and at this point, I couldn’t help but be sure that the lord of Borgien was related to the warlock.

“I didn’t know that Count Borghien had anything to do with the meeting.”

“okay? Then now that you know, report it?”

“yes.”

“Do you even know how to joke?”

The inside of the building was already decorated like a banquet hall.

It was a place so splendid that even a person who had no knowledge of the gathering could not have imagined that it was a gathering of black magicians.

“hey.”

Brown called me and pointed to one side.

But let’s take a look. Where Brown pointed, there was a person who looked like Hagel.

“First of all, I have to say hello to Mr. Hegel. Because he is the one who invited you.”

“Still, should I say hello to the person who invited me?”

When Dragan also stepped forward and urged him to say hello, he obediently followed.

Coincidentally, there were also familiar faces around Hegel, so my steps were unstoppable.

However, a person appeared to block my steps.

“Why are you here?”

Without saying a word, I looked at the figure blocking my way.

A warlock class warlock I’ve met once before.

It was Jester Levan.

I was openly expressing my hostility, perhaps because of my experience of being treated harshly by me, but thanks to this, Brown fell asleep and ran away.

“I have been invited.”

“You speak boldly. Do you think you can come back alive?”

“sure.”

When I answered with a smile, I imagined what the face covered by the bizarre cone-shaped hat would have changed.

no Can’t you have a face?

“Jester, what are you doing with my guest?”

Then someone walked up from behind and spoke to Jester.

At the same time, another person came running.

“friend!”

A girl who stands out with beautiful, colorful eyes like opal.

Luna Pendragon came to me with cheers on her face.

I lightly hugged her and stroked her hair.

“Long time no see, Luna.”

“huh!”

In the meantime, I heard Jester turn to Hegel and speak displeasedly.

“You called me?”

“okay.”

“You invited him even thinking about what happened to him?”

“I don’t know because I’m not there.”

Hegel shrugged his shoulders calmly.

It seemed as if he wasn’t involved, and when Hegel closed his eyes, Jester started glaring at me while exhaling mana.

Luna, sensitive to mana, immediately turned her head and glared at Jester.

“Jester!”

Calling out Jester’s name as if scolding her, she followed Jester and displayed ferocious momentum.

I felt all the eyes of the black magicians in the banquet hall be focused in this direction due to the sudden atmosphere.

“Don’t touch my friend.”

“Do you know how much I lost because of him? Get out of the way.”

“Heigel! Won’t you dry it?”

When Luna shouted at Hegel while preparing the program, Hegel tilted his head as before.

It seemed shameless at first glance.

“The two of us should resolve the matter between the two of us.”

He clearly expressed his intention not to get involved in this quarrel.

I don’t know what his intentions are, but I don’t feel very good.

It seems like I’m curious about my reaction or response… … .

‘I’m sorry, but it won’t work the way you want.’

It was after my keen senses had already detected that reinforcements had arrived.

“I won’t stay still either.”

“That’s your heart too, Luna.”

While the two were talking, the shape of a black grip appeared on both sides of Jester.

Each grip was huge enough to cover the body, and it moved its fingers as if it was going straight to me.

Seeing that, Luna hurriedly tried to use the decree, but I stopped her.

“friend?”

“It’s okay. Jester won’t be able to move carelessly.”

I had already read someone’s signs and relaxed.

And just like I said, Jester’s black grip couldn’t move.

Awesome!

A black knight appeared before I knew it and was threateningly blocking Jester’s way.

It was the appearance of Death Knight, one of the strongest Undead.

“Oh oh!”

At the appearance of the Death Knight, the people who attended the rally burst into admiration.

When the people who soon guessed the owner of the Death Knight looked around.

“Everybody does that.”

“I don’t know… … .”

I don’t know Dwalski.

The strongest necromancer appeared by my side.
