Chapter 144
Episode 144. The warlock meeting
was moved to the basement.
It was a place directly connected to the banquet hall, but it took the form of a closed room to prevent sound from leaking out.
Still, it was wide enough to accommodate all the gathered warlocks, so everyone was able to enter.
‘Even if all the guys here die, the chances of the world ending will be much reduced.’
Of course, it was a crazy idea.
And I know that the fundamental solution won’t be as long as I know that the emperor is also aiming for sin.
As long as the mad emperor is alive, even if all the warlocks here die, in the end, only the episode will be twisted and I won’t be able to reach my goal.
‘by the way… … .’
Did you expect me to join the coven?
The number of chairs was just right.
I was offended that something seemed to play with Hegel’s intentions, but I’ll keep my head down for now.
Anyway, as long as I knew about the future and all kinds of information that others didn’t know, I was confident that I would slowly encroach on the meeting.
‘To do that, we need a faction first… … .’
Coincidentally, I have a reliable ally named Luna.
Perhaps feeling my gaze, Luna tilted her head and looked at me.
“are you okay?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
A little while ago, I signed a mana contract with a pledge to join the coven.
With this, I became a member of the rally, but I was prepared anyway.
In case of breaking the oath, there was a severe penalty, so it is a sure sign.
Anyway, perhaps because of that, Luna had been looking at me with concern from earlier.
“Sit down next to me.”
Morne gestured to me and pointed to the seat next to me.
Naturally, Luna sat next to me.
Almost 50 warlocks were all seated.
However, it was amazing to see the factions of their own when they sat down.
‘About four.’
If neutrality is assumed to be one faction, there are a total of five factions.
The first was Morn’s faction where I was located.
A faction centered on Morne’s disciples and Necromancers.
By the way, Luna was also sitting next to me, as if it were Morne’s faction, but she was close to neutral.
Next is Jester and his faction, who have returned before they knew it.
A little while ago, Morn had resigned because he was one level higher than Jester, but he was definitely a warlock-class warlock.
And, as always befits the one who manages the assembly, the largest number of people was formed into a faction.
I looked around and saw the third faction.
‘Isn’t it coming?’
The master of the third faction was nowhere to be seen.
‘Aka Imp.’
A powerful witch who formed two major mountain ranges with Eve Millennium, Luna’s mother.
Now that Eve is dead, she is gaining notoriety as the strongest witch.
Although Eika did not attend this meeting, Dragan, who was under her command, was the focal point of the faction.
‘finally… … .’
I saw a man wearing a mask.
The man wearing a black mask that was as shiny as a beetle’s shell was silent from the banquet hall, but he could not hide his presence.
‘Fade.’
Having played the game, I knew only the first name, but not the last name.
An unknown figure with many enigmas, and even how he formed a faction is full of questions.
All I know is that he is a goddamn strong warlock class warlock and that he is in contact with the underworld all over the continent.
‘I don’t know Jester Aka Fade.’
These four were the masters of the faction currently dividing the meeting.
Among them, Morn was the weakest because he was a small group of necromancers, so it was not an exaggeration to say that the other three factions except him were moving the assembly.
“Thank you for gathering everyone while you are busy.”
After the atmosphere had calmed down to some extent, Hegel gave a formal greeting.
Unexpectedly, Hegel did not form a faction and belonged to neutrality.
However, it was the same when he brought me in, but looking at the inside of the sword, it seemed that he did not form a faction because he had something else to aim for.
“First, the regular agenda is dealt with, and the main agenda is brought up last.”
Hegel, who naturally led the meeting, had subordinates present the meeting agenda.
I summarized and reported the situation of each place that I had been gathering, the available information, and the major events that had recently occurred.
Each faction began to speak out for their own interests, giving opinions to each other, and the meeting became very heated.
“The next item on the agenda is Maximin Cronell.”
Maximin Cronell.
The eyes of the people who were busy expressing their opinions suddenly rushed to me.
“As you know, Maximin Cronell wandered for his lover, Isabelle Lucifer. But the news is that you have recently succeeded in waking Isabelle. I woke up right after visiting Rodlen Academy.”
The intensity of the gaze gradually increased in intensity.
“I would like to give new member Adrias Cromwell a say on this.”
When Hegel’s subordinates sat down after finishing the report, everyone started to stare at me.
Jester spoke first.
“Maximin Cronell’s greatest weakness, Isabelle Lucifer, has awakened. This is the same as not only making up for weaknesses, but also creating strong allies. Isabelle, as everyone knows, is a direct vampire. Besides, she belongs to the closest axis in the line of succession to the throne. Maximin is also Maximin, but Isabelle is also a person who can change the game of the continent.”
“Something you want to say.”
“First, I want to know how she woke up. There’s someone who woke her up here… … .”
Jester’s gaze turned to me.
All the warlocks belonging to the Jester faction nodded and looked at me at his actions, which felt like silent pressure.
“Will you speak, Adrias Cromwell?”
I shrugged and said calmly.
“I was lucky.”
“luck?”
“I don’t know if you know it, but I’m also good at making potions. That’s why Maximin came to me, and it just happened that she was cured.”
“You want me to believe that?”
“Believe it or not, that doesn’t matter now.”
At my words, the warlocks of the Jester faction lit up their eyes.
However, I spoke leisurely.
“The important thing now is this. In the end, it is true that I healed Isabelle, and Maximin considers me a benefactor.”
“haha.”
Morne, who was sitting next to me, let out a good-natured laugh.
And Dragan of the Aika faction, who had been listening to the story, also nodded.
“surely. Now, the fact that I was cured is more important than how I was treated.”
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
Since I was not a member of the assembly just a little while ago, those who remained wary began to turn their heads busily.
Being Maximin’s benefactor is a title that is very worthwhile to utilize.
Besides, it was only natural that Isabel, who had been helped directly, would have been kind to me.
In a word, I could say that I am a talented person with great value.
‘I didn’t expect this to roll like this again.’
Each faction began to gossip as they shared their opinions.
At the same time, Necromancers from unknown factions began to show their favor to me.
“I’m so glad Iya Adrias joined the coven. Even though he is a talented person who is making a name for himself within the academy, it is really amazing that he has even embraced Maximin.”
“That’s right. It has been over 40 years since Maximin wandered. To get rid of such a thing at once, as expected, the cotyledon is definitely different from other people.”
Everyone talked amicably, and the other factions slowly opened their mouths amidst the tumult.
“I think everyone is misunderstanding something… … .”
Did you feel the ominous in my words?
suddenly became quiet.
“I’ll say it again, I’m Maximin’s benefactor, not you. I don’t know why you guys are making a fuss.”
Cold water poured out.
People who were wondering how to use it to eat it all looked at me with stiff faces in an instant.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
In the cold situation, Hegel called me.
He was looking at me with an interesting expression, but this time I was nervous inside as if he had another ulterior motive and called me.
“Please speak.”
“You are absolutely right. It is clear that your individual credit is your share.”
Upon hearing Hegel’s words, the four warlocks all frowned.
However, Hegel’s words were not over yet.
“But now you are also a coven warlock. If there is something going, there must be something coming. Are you going to take information from the meeting and not contribute anything?”
“It can’t be.”
I shook my head and answered.
And I told you the information that I had been hiding.
“I have nothing to give you about Maximin. In the first place, isn’t Maximin a person who will be able to do what I want?”
The people who thought of Maximin at my words nodded as if they agreed.
His character and deeds are so famous that it is impossible not to know.
“Instead, let’s unpack one piece of information to commemorate joining the rally.”
“Is it okay to look forward to seeing how confident you are?”
Hagel asked with a smile.
I also smiled at him.
I wonder whose smile will last longer?
“Salem will be back soon.”
“… … Salem? Are you talking about Salem Yedidiah?”
“you’re right.”
“Can you be specific? I don’t know exactly what you mean by his return.”
When Salem’s name came out, Jester’s spirit, which had been listening for a while, became ferocious.
And the faces of the others didn’t look very good either.
“I made a deal with Salem. And Salem should have healed himself by now.”
Most Warlock class wizards would know that Salem’s body is unstable.
As Salem gained great power and knowledge at the cost of sacrificing his own body, the fact that his body was healed was like a nightmare for Salem’s enemies.
“Those who were relieved that Salem would soon die will not be able to sleep well now.”
“Ah Adrias Cromwell. You are spreading outrageous lies!”
someone shouted urgently.
To him, I stretched out my hands.
“Whatever you believe in this is your choice. There is no need for me to lie.”
“If that is true… … .”
An unknown intervened.
“Adrias Cromwell will be protected by Maximin, who is said to be the strongest swordsman, and Salem, who is called the devil.”
“under!”
Jester let out a snort as if in amazement.
It was the information I spit out to plant such thoughts, but thanks to not knowing, things became easier.
“ha ha ha! fun. It’s very funny.”
Heigel’s sudden laughter covered the meeting room.
The tattoos on his face moved wildly with his emotions.
“To think that not only Maximin but also Salem are being used. You unlocked the information for yourself, not for us.”
“It is up to each person how they will take it. I was just giving you information.”
“Yes, yes. I guess so. by the way… … .”
Hegel’s tattoo wriggled grotesquely.
Sensing a sign from that appearance, I quietly put my hand on Galaksur.
“No matter how you think about it, you are dangerous. I’d rather just die here.”
Hegel’s appearance began to change.
