Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 164
Episode 164. It was easy to find Maximin,
the founder of the assembly .
He was also a person who drew attention, and after Isabelle woke up, he openly appeared in various cities, so it was easy to locate him.
I stopped by the mercenary guild and sent a letter to Maximin in advance, preparing to meet him.
The mercenary guild didn’t want to accept my request, but when they found out that I was Adrias Cromwell, who had a relationship with Maximin, they accepted the request at a high price.
Maximin’s visit to the academy had become so famous.
“I thought it would be a little more intense this time.”
Seeing me simply packing my things, Amy sighed.
Even though I was busy, when I told him there was a place to go, he came right away.
“As much as you are busy with work at the top, I live a busy life as well.”
“Isn’t it okay to live a busy life only at the academy? It’s vacation, do you really need that?”
“then.”
How are you resting when you already know the future?
I will definitely save the future and live like an unemployed person like before.
“You say promotion to the graduating class is confirmed anyway?”
“Because promotion to the graduating class is fixed, not graduation.”
There’s nothing more to take care of.
The important thing was left to the undead anyway.
Amy was still looking at me with a sullen expression, but I didn’t understand her feelings, so she lightly tapped me on the shoulder.
“I’ll be back soon.”
“joy. If so, he’ll come back just in time for the start of school again.”
“Maybe?”
“I don’t need them all, can you at least tell me where you’re going?”
“sorry.”
I can’t tell Amy, who is already worried, that I’m going to see Maximin.
His notoriety was such that even a child in the empire would stop crying.
So we said goodbye and went out to the station.
How reassuring it is to have Salem by Amy’s side.
I can count on one hand the strong who can beat him one-on-one at this time.
‘I couldn’t talk much.’
Salem has been unexpectedly busy.
To be honest, I didn’t know why she was so busy, but it was to the point where it was harder to meet than Amy, who was busy with work at the upper level.
It must have been because he was studying ‘harmony’, a newly learned origin, but after asking me for advice a few times, he stopped talking.
By the way, I told him in advance where I was going.
There’s no one better to rely on than Salem, should something ever happen.
“Long time no see.”
With a four-day train journey, I arrived at a place I had been to before.
I didn’t know Maximin would be here.
Coincidentally, the item I was looking for was also close to this place.
‘I hope Luna is doing well.’
The place I arrived at was the Grandis Kingdom attached to the Great Forest of Bayatra.
The only difference from that time was that he wouldn’t wear a disguise.
I sent a letter in advance, so I thought that he was probably there beforehand and moved on.
The meeting place is the inn that I visited every time even in the game.
Now, it was a place where memories with Luna dwelled.
with my daughter!
“Welcome.”
I heard the owner’s warm greeting.
The last time I visited, I recognized Luna and was very scared, but in fact, she was this kind of person.
“Did you come alone?”
“yes. More than that, is Maximin Cronel here by any chance?”
Clink!
Suddenly, with the sound of glass breaking, the interior of the inn was enveloped in silence.
As if the noise was a lie, I was rather embarrassed by the rapidly changing atmosphere.
The place where Maximin is notorious is definitely the Rodelian Empire.
As it was the kingdom of Grandis, where the prejudice against black magicians was weak, I wondered if it would be such a surprise that Maximin’s name came out.
After looking around for a while, I asked again.
“Isn’t Maximin Cronel here?”
“It’s not that I don’t memorize every customer’s name… … .”
Seeing how he tried to change his words, it seems that Maximin is right here.
There’s no way he doesn’t know Maximin. Did I ask too openly?
I was just about to grab a room and wait a bit, when I heard a voice from behind.
“Hey kid.”
The silence had subsided, so I turned around to hear the clearer sound. A man who looked like a mercenary was sitting at a table beckoning to me as if he was eating.
“You seem like a kid who doesn’t know anything, but you’re Maximin Cronell? Is Maximin Cronell the name of a neighborhood dog?”
I just had a quarrel.
Certainly, Maximin’s name seems to attract aggro.
I ignored that and handed the money to the innkeeper.
“3 nights accommodation including meals.”
“Kerham that… … .”
The hostess, who seemed to be at a loss for words, took the money I handed over and handed over the room key.
“Don’t make an accident here.”
“I will try.”
I wanted to eat first, but I had already pulled a lot of aggro, so I decided to rest in the room and come down.
“hey! Are you ignoring me!”
I felt something flying, so I grabbed it lightly.
It was a fork with traces of eating something a while ago.
“What?”
The man who threw the fork got up from his seat and walked towards me.
The mercenaries who seemed to be his colleagues shouted at him.
“Paras! Do it in moderation!”
“These days, it seems that there are a lot of idiots who are nothing. maximin? under! He’s a goal-striking kid.”
“Because I’m a kid, I might not know a little bit hehe.”
The innkeeper frowned at the mercenary named Paras who finally approached me.
“If you break anything in the store, I will kick you out right away.”
“joy. There is no such thing as educating a child like this.”
Come to think of it, is this the first time you’ve had a fight like this?
Thanks to the long life at the academy, it has grown like a flower in a greenhouse.
“Are you scared, kid? How did you talk about Maximin Cronel with such a statement?”
Rather than annoying, should I say fresh?
I slowly opened my presence.
Ugh.
Man-intelligible momentum obtained through soul imprinting.
A tremendous sense of intimidation enveloped the inn.
“Huh huh?”
Standing in front of me, Paras was urinating and shaking all over.
And, as if not understanding his own reaction, he widened his eyes.
A situation where the brain’s understanding of the body’s response has not caught up.
‘It’s weak.’
It didn’t seem necessary to bother him any more.
I ignored it and tried to go up to the second floor where the room was.
again.
Until the thick scent of blood touched the tip of the nose with the sound of shoes.
“You are here.”
I hadn’t even noticed since when she existed.
I got goosebumps and involuntarily tried to raise my hand to Galaksur but stopped.
“Isabelle.”
direct vampire.
Its power equals or exceeds that of a superhuman.
However, actually experiencing it was a bit shocking.
Looking back, her appearance was still the same.
A transcendent appearance that deviated from human standards, befitting a being who lived close to several hundred years.
In terms of uniqueness, Luna’s appearance was also unusual, but Isabelle’s appearance seemed to bring a beauty that could not exist in this world.
“I came out to check on the strong energy, and I saw Adrias-nim. Maximin is away for a while, so please wait in the room with me.”
The gentle manner of speaking was like that of a noble lady.
Should I say that every action overflows with grace?
If Diene’s dignity was dignified, Isabelle’s was soft.
“All right.”
Seeing no reason to refuse, I nodded.
Isabelle took the lead and I followed, and the gaze of the inn focused so much that it made the back of my head tingle.
“You mean I was really the one who came to see Maximin?”
“Who the hell are you?”
As the gossips entered the room, leaving behind the sound of their words, Isabelle sat down on a chair in the room and spoke naturally.
“long time no see. How have you been?”
“yes. Thank you for caring me. But I’m more curious about Isabelle’s condition than I am. I know it’s been about four months, but is there anything wrong?”
At my question, she nodded quietly.
“So far, no major problems.”
“No major problems sounds like there were small problems.”
“It seems that what Adrias said is correct. I’m getting more and more drowsy day by day to see if the curse has been completely lifted.”
Was it just a temporary measure?
Still, it feels like it lasted much longer than I expected.
I wish the effect lasted for an hour, but I didn’t want it, so
‘Maybe Maximin kidnapped me and treated it as a tool to wake up Isabelle.’
I thought that if I met her, the seed of new death would react again, but I was silent.
I don’t know if it’s not yet or if the first time I woke up was the end.
“Still, once you open your eyes, you won’t fall asleep as easily as before. To that end, I’m currently traveling with citizens… … .”
“Did you come to Vayatra Great Forest because of the place where I saw a god?”
“that’s right. And I thought it would be nice to find something else.”
The location of Maximin and Isabelle, who were easily rescued from the mercenary guild, is none other than the Great Forest of Bayatra.
Actually, Fort Vayatra or Fort Endeavor was closer, but I sent a letter to meet here in case anyone would notice or remember me.
“I didn’t just stay in Daesurim for four months, I went back to my hometown for a while.”
“If it’s home… … .”
“It’s a land of severe cold that everyone calls the Devil’s Land.”
If there was a northern snowy land where savages lived in the northern part of the Laudelen Empire, far away in the northeast of the continent there was a demonic land called the land of severe cold.
Vampires are a race strong enough to express that they have no effect on temperature changes.
Instead of mixing with humans and creating conflict, they went into the cold land and built their own territory.
“Continuing the story, I met an unexpected connection there. Adrias-nim knows him too.”
“Anyone I know would be Angela.”
Angela Lucifer.
If he had been captured by Karon Diplan, he would have disappeared mercilessly as the material of the undead.
I had obtained information about Isabelle from my previous first encounter with her.
‘Mixed blood between humans and vampires.’
It was not surprising.
I know that such cases often happen, and I know of named characters who are active in human society.
Anyway, this also explains why Angela was captured by Charon.
‘Mixed blood between humans and vampires creates a weakness.’
Vampires have strong bodies and use blood magic.
However, when mixed with humans, one of these two characteristics disappears.
On the contrary, instead of the missing feature, the remaining one feature is stronger than an ordinary vampire, but the lack of either of the two was a big flaw for a vampire with perfect karate.
“As I said before, Angela is my sister. By human standards, they are sisters with a pretty big age gap.”
“yes. I was surprised to hear that story. That means Angela is also a direct descendant.”
In fact, until now, Angela’s existence had no meaning to me.
At that time, it was just too much to live day by day and it was a limit to adapt.
But now that I had some free time, the calculator was pounding in my head.
For me, who had to look at the whereabouts of the crime, Angela was a good card to check the sins of the Lucifer family.
“I was able to meet Angela by chance and talk. The last time I saw it, I was just a baby, but I never thought I’d grow up like that… … . For reference, I also talked about Adrias. Did you really like it?”
“Is that so.”
I couldn’t guess when she bit my neck, but when I heard that Isabelle had steamed it, I vaguely understood.
After all, I am her lifesaver, so she must be grateful.
Maybe it meant steaming to repay the favor?
“And Angela told me the story she had with Adrias… … Adrias-sama is actually a warlock, right?”
“… … .”
“You don’t have to be so surprised. Just because we’re black magicians, our attitude won’t change. Rather, it feels friendly.”
Angela… … .
I even said something useless.
“And thanks to Adrias-sama being a warlock, we also have something to offer.”
“I will tell you after that.”
I was startled inside by the sudden desolate voice, but I turned my head away without revealing it.
“I didn’t even know Maximin was here.”
“Because I just came.”
He was standing with his back against the wall, looking as blunt as before.
By the way, what gift are you talking about?
“Adrias Cromwell. After reading various news recently, I also found out that you joined the rally.”
“The news is fast.”
I’m breaking out in a little cold sweat.
I felt like my personal information was ripped off too easily.
“I made a lot of enemies in my 40 years of traveling, but most of them made good deals. If I put my mind to it, this amount of information is nothing, so don’t worry too much about it.”
Of course.
Who would want to become enemies with Maximin, who is called Cheon Oecheon?
Most will try to have a good relationship.
“I also heard that Morne and Luna are forming a faction in your name.”
“It makes me a little uncomfortable.”
“Once again, rest assured that few people besides me can dig up this information. I am also not on good terms with the Empire. I have no intention of embarrassing you.”
“What do you want to say?”
In the end, when I asked, Maximin’s mouth drew an arc.
“You are the only one who can talk to me like that. don’t tell the story Adrias Cromwell Do you know who were the first 10 people who created the assembly?”
“The originator of the assembly… … .”
“Looks like you don’t know. Anyway, I stumbled upon a trail of one of them. It’s in the Great Forest.”
I was just here to get Serena’s swordsmanship and to receive swordsmanship lessons, but the sudden story made my head spin.
“One of the 10 wizards who founded the coven and a warlock who changed history.”
Maximin’s voice sank deeply.
“I found the traces of the immutable Harungel.”
