Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 351

[ Episode 351. Worried]

“What happened?”

Marquis Yunor asked softly.

When I saw his gaze turned to Marquis Erestial, it didn’t seem like he was asking me, so I watched it for now.

“Earl Cromwell saved us.”

The title of count disappeared after belonging to the rebel army, but the Marquis of Yunor looked at us without saying a word, looking at the Marquis of Erestial, who was still called the count.

“The monster is dead. Lord Cromwell here took care of it.”

“You mean alone?”

“Come to think of it, I don’t think I was alone… Did you kill the knight next to you?”

It seemed like she was referring to nickel, but she seemed to have misunderstood Vivian.

“you’re right.”

“Anyway, if Lord Cromwell were a little late, we would all be dead. In fact, there were times when I was prepared to die and remained.”

“You stupid. Didn’t you run away?”

“We are the Estials. I won’t run away because I’m at a disadvantage like anyone else.”

Serena carefully intervened in the fight between the dogs that was about to begin again.

“Thank you for coming here, Mr. Yunor.”

“I didn’t come to help, I just came to see him trembling.”

“her! Is it hard to breathe for something like that? You said you were hungry enough to see the Aura Master come running in, so feel free to watch it.”

As the childlike fight between the two marquises continued, the belated arrival of others was heard. All of them were knights bearing the coat of arms of the Yunor family.

“chris?”

And among them was Chris, who had changed into a more charismatic figure before he knew it.

When Serena called his name in surprise, Chris’ eyes turned to Serena. However, it was only for a moment, and as if he had noticed me while turning his head, his eyes widened and he stopped walking.

“Adrias Cromwell?”

It was still that there was no cheapness.

“Long time no see Chris.”

“Why are you here…”

Chris muttered in disbelief, but soon regained his cool and hardened his expression.

“so. Are you serving one of the ringleaders of the rebellion?”

“Oh, you’re the ringleader! As you know, Lord Cromwell was caught up in the incident without knowing why, because he was in Fortion. It doesn’t sound good to disparage our family’s benefactor like that.”

“Should I only say nice things? Looking at it now, my mental state is not very good.”

With signs of an argument about to begin again, I slowly rose from my seat.

“I will just go. It was nice to see both of them after a long time. Oh, it’s best not to approach the place where the monster fell. There is a possibility of poisoning.”

It’s annoying to explain plague, so I just said it was poison.

“Whoever wants to go.”

Marquis Yunor threatened, but he ignored it and got up.

chin!

Chris stopped me from passing.

Then Serena, who was watching, said quietly.

“Get out of the way, Chris.”

“I can’t do that.”

Chris, who resembles his father and has the impression of a piece of ice, put his hand on the handle of the sword.

“chris!”

Serena shouted, but he stood there, looking at me, with no sign of backing down.

“Do you want to try it?”

“…….”

Chris didn’t answer my question.

However, I could feel a ray of longing in the impression of cold Chris.

It was a desire for recognition that Louise had felt before.

‘Does it want to be acknowledged by me?’

I was curious.

Louis has awakened the rare Auror secret called Hwaan Geumjeong. Did Chris really become an Auror Master?

Judging by the momentum I felt, I didn’t feel like I had become an Aura Master yet, but I thought I might. Louis didn’t even know until he used Aura Biggi.

But…

“I’ll check later. When you both have time, come to Cromwell.”

The movement of the empire was so fast that Marquis Yunor had already arrived. It might have come quickly since it was close, but it seemed like the subjugation team would really arrive after spending more time.

‘It’s not like I can afford that.’

The second knight, the Red Knight of War, appears exactly 13 days after the White Knight is summoned. The guys who appear after that also appear one after another with a 13-day interval, so you have to start right away to be able to arrive at the summoned place in advance.

“Are you saying that you are going to die when you come to Cromwell?”

Serena asked with a puzzled look, but I didn’t know that.

“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to come. By the way, Lewis is already at Cromwell.”

“Are you Louis?”

“Louis…….”

It seemed that the news hadn’t spread yet.

Even if the news had been delivered, he would have been distracted by the war or the White Knight.

“Are you going to stop it?”

Finally, I asked Marquis Yunor.

He looked at me with cold eyes and then turned his head.

“I have never seen you.”

“thank you.”

They seemed to have no intention of stopping me when I saved Erestial, as they were two families that seemed to be enemies on the surface, but in reality they had a stronger relationship than any other family.

In fact, I was about to jump in a hurry, so I said everything.

I left the castle with Vivian and Luna following behind me. I felt a coy gaze through the back of my head, but I tried to ignore it and walked away.

“Where are you going now?”

“I will go back.”

“go back? Where?”

“I’m going to Cromwell.”

Except for the first, the place where the knights of the Apocalypse appear has changed every time. However, it was not random and was summoned to the place that best met the conditions.

The place where the enemy knights of war appear is usually the place where the battle takes place, especially the place where the civil war takes place.

For now, the western part of the empire is the most powerful situation.

In the first place, the reason I put my breath into Morhaime was all in anticipation of this episode.

‘The shorter the route, the better.’

For now, it is not too late to return to Cromwell and slowly grasp the situation.

**

Crackling –

The night deepened and the firewood burned.

Although it is said to be homeless, there was no great inconvenience with the earthen hut I made with my magic.

Before I knew it, Luna was asleep and breathing evenly, and Vivian and I sat looking at the fire in silence.

Cromwell could arrive tomorrow, so there was no great concern. Before dealing with the white knight, he had Evan’s subordinate, whom he had met in advance, monitor the place where the rest of the knights could be summoned, so the preparations had already been completed.

“Adrias.”

“yes.”

“You didn’t come to find a warlock named Hegel, you came to catch that monster, right?”

I was taken aback by Vivian’s words.

Did you get tea?

“that’s right. How did you know?”

“Because it was a very natural reaction.”

Vivian looked right in my face.

Then he reached out and touched my face.

Rough, callused fingers stroked the scars on my face.

“Why are you suffering so much?”

It was a question with many implications.

“I want to be happy.”

And it was an answer with many implications.

“There are still things I don’t know.”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

3 years of waiting.

Knowing how much Vivian felt for me, I couldn’t even imagine what a terrible year it must have been.

I didn’t show it, but it must have been a lot of trouble.

Rather, because she was like that, I was afraid to tell the truth.

‘I have to trust him, but…’

Trusting him was a problem in itself.

Will you be able to accept me?

Would you understand that I came from another dimension called Earth, not from this world? How would you react if I told you that you have experienced this world hundreds of times through games?

What if Luna, who is sleeping cute next to you, is a person who should have died? That the person named Adrias was originally someone other than me and was destined to die as a warlock?

What if you find out that Vivian is actually a villain who should have died?

‘no.’

Obviously, if it’s Vivian, she’ll make an effort.

However, unconsciousness was an area that was difficult to change even with effort. No matter how hard you try, the information is already embedded in your brain…

“Adrias.”

As I was alone in my complicated thoughts, Vivian grabbed my cheeks with both hands and called out to me. I looked at her with a face that looked like pressed steamed buns.

“If you’re in pain, you don’t have to tell me. You don’t have to worry so much.”

Softly-

I barely nodded as I watched Vivian quietly play with my cheek.

“I respect every decision Adrias makes. There must be a reason why Adrias won’t tell me.”

I’m sorry for nothing

With that attitude, I felt more guilty.

“I……Uk.”

As I was about to say something, Vivian pressed my cheeks.

“You don’t have to force yourself to speak.”

His expression was very serious, but it was funny to see him play with my cheeks like that.

“Instead, let me touch you like this once a day.”

“Ulgutsupnidu.”

“what?”

“All right.”

When I relaxed my hand and answered with my mouth that barely regained its shape, Vivian smiled brightly.

But for some reason, that smile felt vague as if it would scatter if touched.

‘Ah…’

I realized at that moment.

The fact that I, who had not known happiness, became anxious because I felt happy. The imagination that I might lose this happiness because of my mistake caught me like a snake.

‘Do I really deserve to be happy?’

And after all these journeys, will we be able to fully enjoy this happiness then?

I couldn’t tell.

“I am happy.”

but didn’t deny it.

I’m happy now. That fact doesn’t change.

Even if this happiness makes me shiver with anxiety, that is better.

“me too. I’m glad Adrias is back.”

Vivian’s hand slowly moved away from my face.

“After losing you, I felt more certain.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been called you, not my name, is it the first time?

“I like you.”

“Kuhm.”

Even so, this exceeded the lethal dose.

I wanted to look away, but it didn’t seem polite to do so, so I made serious eye contact.

sneak

But unexpectedly, Vivian turned her head first. Even after he said it, his gaze continued to waver, as if he seemed embarrassed.

Did that face get red from the campfire, or did it just turn red from what you said?

“I like it too. Thank you for liking me.”

“huh.”

Vivian, whose words had diminished, gave a small nod of her head as if embarrassed, and then moved her body little by little to Luna’s side.

“Chop it first. Wake me up later.”

“yes. good night.”

Seeing that reaction, I thought I might not be able to sleep. I must have retreated because I was ashamed. cute.

Tadak!

I stayed up all night and fell into deep thought once again. About me, this world, my past life, and happiness.

‘Once everything is finished.’

It was too much to feel the happiness that filled my heart right now. It might not be a big deal to someone, but this small daily life was special to me.

It was a heartbreaking night.
