Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 163

Episode 163. Minus’ letter and maintenance

“Uhahaha!”

I was dumbfounded and unable to react to what happened in front of my eyes.

“I never thought you would be here! You’re up and running!”

“Is it still the same for Morheim guys to get out of hand?”

Seeing the two of them suddenly shake hands and greet each other, I tried talking quietly.

“Do you know each other?”

“yes. The Prince of Salem has had a pretty long bad relationship with the Morheim family. Apparently, there are a lot of things we do that way… … .”

If there was Fade in the assembly, there was Morhaime in the Empire.

It was those two that divided the underworld.

The difference is the difference between illegal and legal. To be honest, it was illegal either way in my opinion.

It wasn’t strange that Salem, who needed a lot of manpower and materials to do bizarre research, became acquainted with the Morheim family.

“Why is Prince Salem staying here?”

“I have a debt and I am paying it off.”

“debt? You say Prince Salem is in debt?”

Dannard turned to me with a surprised expression.

that’s not wrong

If you think about it, there are many places that owe me.

‘Saving Carlos Alven, the Duke of Alven also told me… … No, the debt has already been returned with the crown of greed.’

Even if Alven was excluded, there were prominent families and personalities that I could remember later, such as Mohaim, Salem, and Maximin.

“I know Salem is an Imperial wanted, but he doesn’t seem to care.”

I was caught anyway, so I asked straight away.

Then Danard laughed awkwardly.

“Imperial Wants is just a façade. I don’t know if the Prince of Salem would say no, but there have been quite a few accidents that I’ve committed so far, and if I don’t punish them, I won’t lose face as the imperial family. So, it can be regarded as a wanted criminal designation in the way of showing, and there will be no actual capture of Salem.”

There is a point.

It would be natural to see that he was already roaming around the empire freely.

“Oh, but the other wanted criminals are a different story. In particular, Maximin Cronell, whom His Excellency recently met, is a real wanted criminal. It’s just that if you touch it, it’s like an annoying beehive, so I just watched it without responding.”

“okay.”

When I nodded calmly, Dannard stopped explaining and suddenly bowed.

“sorry. His Excellency must have already known about it, but I threw it away too quickly.”

“… … yes?”

Danard.

Contrary to his appearance, he was a very timid man.

As far as I know, he’s famous for fighting the toughest in the Morheim family, but this is the first time he’s seen this.

“ha ha ha! Danard! It’s still the same as answering an advisor alone!”

“Huh hum… … .”

Danard scratched his head awkwardly.

In any case, it was fortunate that Salem hadn’t become a big deal.

I decided to check the letter from Minus, leaving Danard in charge of Salem.

“It seems like you two haven’t seen each other in a while, but I’ll avoid you for a while.”

“no. You don’t have to.”

Danard shook his head, but Salem took a step forward.

“Danard. If you pretend, don’t you pretend? It seems that our Excellency Cromwell has other business. Let’s talk about something you haven’t talked to before. Is there a good brewery around here?”

As Salem dragged Danard away, the clearing went quiet again.

There were quite a few things to talk about after meeting Salem for the first time in a while, but I’ll put that aside.

I returned to my room in the main building and carefully took out the letter I had received from Greta.

Just in case, I used Mana Detect once in the room and sat down at the desk to open the stationery.

The text was not very long.

Mostly, it was an outline of what the Morheim family had been doing and what had changed, based on the information I had uncovered.

‘Why?’

In hindsight, it was like casually sending something that could be classified family information.

No matter how much I gave you the information, I couldn’t understand why you wrote and sent it this far.

“I think you would be surprised. I don’t know why I sent this message. My meaning is simple. He wants to reveal everything to Prince Cromwell and continue a good relationship. I don’t know if you’ve heard from Greta, who I sent with this letter, but I want our relationship to go further and become stronger. If there is no place where marriage talks come and go, I wonder what our family would be like. Waiting for a positive answer, let’s keep quiet.”

“Honest talk.”

Are you talking about marriage?

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

Rather, considering the Cromwell family, Minus must have made a lot of concessions.

It means that the information I gave you and my value are highly valued.

I think Greta already knew about it, but the reason why she didn’t bring it up was because it was written in the letter.

‘I’ll have to think about it a bit.’

I am not negative about marriage.

From a practical point of view, the alliance with Morhaime will be of great help in the future.

But there was also a price to pay for it.

‘If I become connected with Morhaime, I will inevitably have to pay attention to the Morhaime family.’

Morheim’s power will be on the same side, but my actions will be restricted.

Above all, I am a black magician belonging to the assembly.

There can be no worst-case scenario than promising marriage talks and being caught.

It was clear that he would become Cheolcheon’s enemy in an instant, even if it meant denying his relationship with me.

“Should I be content with having one more hand for now?”

Fire.

After I finished reading the letter, it naturally burned away.

Anyway, since I know Morhaime’s intentions, I can’t give you an immediate answer, but should I give you a present?

‘War lasts longer than expected. If you prepare in advance, there will be great benefits.’

I’ll tell Amy in advance, but I’ll also tell Morhaime to be prepared just in case.

War is a monster that devours everything, but if you prepare and deal with it well, you can become a goose that lays golden eggs.

I immediately took out a pen and paper and started writing.

* * *

It’s been a few days since a guest came from Mohaim.

Greta, who checked Minus’s letter and met again a few hours later, asked if he had read the letter and subtly teased it, but I passed it on saying I hadn’t read it yet.

‘If I check the newly written correspondence, I’ll be able to buy some time to talk about marriage.’

Thinking, he swung his sword.

Whoo! Kang!

All sides of Galaksur and Nickel collided.

There was a sharp metal sound, but it didn’t matter because no one except me was going to enter this underground place.

right!

Nickel, who struck his teeth, stepped back and showed admiration.

“Looking at my swordsmanship talent, I must have surpassed you by now.”

Tadak!

Nickel, who shook his head while clashing his teeth, smiled once and looked at the talent window for the first time in a long time.

―Talent: Black magic (gifted) Elemental magic (gifted) Potion making Buff class (gifted) Exercise (gifted) Combat (gifted) Mana (gifted) Elemental magic Light-type firepower (genius) Swordsmanship (gifted) What’s been added over the past few

months There was only a swordsman prodigy.

Originally, he was a genius, but his experience was already 100%, so he evolved right away.

The strange thing is that even after evolving into a gifted child, the experience was already filled by 30%.

‘Maybe by touching the wall.’

wall.

I honestly thought it was a metaphorical expression.

But there was no expression that suited it better.

‘Even facing the wall again is a challenge.’

When the opportunity came, it was not easy to face the wall again if I did not get over it at once.

This is why, unlike Warlock, I was able to realize that an Aura Master is a realm of talent.

“We are still far away.”

I warmed up and got back into position.

By the way, I have already harvested all the fairy flowers that have grown underground.

They decided to take this opportunity to create new potions and maintain them before the war.

kang!

As I shook hands with Nickel again, I lost my mind for a moment.

The way I can improve my specs immediately before the war intensifies is to strengthen.

Easy but cost a lot of money.

‘Of course, I’m in trouble because of the taxes.’

If it wasn’t for the tax, he would have gathered his soul, strengthened it, and ran rampant on the battlefield.

It’s unfortunate, but I can’t help it.

Still, I told Amy to prepare for war supplies in advance, so I would be rich after the war.

Reinforcement is slow… … .

‘Gap!’

Nickel’s thoughts were passed to me, not mine.

Thanks to that, I managed to block Nickel’s attack and retreated.

Follow me! right!

“okay. Sorry.”

The fire order for not focusing has fallen.

Even though his swordsmanship talent has become a gifted child, he still falls short of Nickel, so even if Nickel helps him, if he doesn’t concentrate, he’ll be in trouble.

“Let’s end here for today.”

less so

Nickel nodded and started cutting the air.

As he stood still and began to swing, the air gradually shook and became intense.

“Everything… … It’s the biggest crop we’ve had recently.”

Of course, I liked Galaksur better, but there won’t be a sword like that for nickel only.

Come to think of it, I should also think about Galaksur’s second seal.

‘I only have a small clue… … .’

A clue given by the Magic Trawler.

He was well versed in knowledge of the ancient mythological age, and Galakshur also said that in the end, he had to find the right god.

According to him, Galaksur is a sword used in honor of a certain god.

I wondered how he found out, but he’s a blacksmith and he seems to have more knowledge about gods than I do, so it’s not wrong.

‘The question is who the god is.’

Another clue is the desert.

I heard from Bahat that this sword was obtained from a dungeon in the Shaiya Desert.

The Shaiya Desert is a rough area called the Devil’s Land.

Anyway, since it is related to the main episode that will happen later, I will visit it someday.

‘Still, it would be nice to go in advance if possible.’

He is a god related to the desert… … .

In the first place, the Shaiya Desert may not have been a desert in the first place.

I decided to do more research on this, and the next thing to think about was, of course, another playable character.

My growth is already saturated.

Diene and Lucia also showed faster growth than expected.

However, the first year felt a little uneasy.

‘Especially Serena. I have to hurry and save the sword.’

When I was playing, I could get it myself through various channels, but since I became a stranger, the way to get it naturally and hand it over was vague.

However, if there is one thing that cannot be postponed any longer, it is the Northern War.

1st year, no, now the 2nd year trio will also participate.

“Swordsmanship, swordsmanship… … .”

After thinking about it for a while, numerous sword techniques and acquisition routes came to mind.

However, there was nothing I liked, and the way to get it was tricky.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

While the sound of nickel swinging a sword playing in the background sounded like background music, I remembered something.

“ah!”

Among the swordsmanships, the S-class swordsmanship.

It was a swordsmanship that suited the slender Serena in particular.

It is a problem, of course, but it is difficult to acquire as it is an excellent swordsman.

‘There are ways.’

I didn’t even have to get it myself.

All you have to do is ask.

Shouldn’t it be time for the medicine to run out?

“Since we met, I also learned a little bit. Killing two birds with one stone.”

Maximin Cronell.

The time has come to meet him.

* * *

Molkan!

Something moved between Nickel’s ribs as he swung his sword for a while.

It is the core of the Chaos Mimic entrusted to Nickel by Adrias.

Pwooyong!

Shaped like a black ball, it swayed independently of the movement of the nickel.

Its movement, which seemed to be alive, was so secret that even Nickel could not feel it, so it passed quietly.

blah blah

Soon, a small eye appeared in the black ball.

bangle?
