Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 180. When we arrived at the Conference Hall of the Abyss,

we saw elves sitting around a round table.

There were High Priest Hegriu, Hougen Hoir, and Chairman Rignir.

Other than that, elves I had seen in the game or hadn’t seen before paid attention to me.

“You are here. Please sit here.”

Rignir pointed to a chair across from him.

All in all, I thought that the allocation of seats was also calculated in that I was across from him.

“You must be very tired, so please forgive me for calling you right away.”

“it’s okay. Thanks to the blessing, there is no fatigue.”

The conversation proceeded with a formal greeting.

First of all, he wanted to explain the series of events inside the World Tree, so he said while hiding information that could be roughly concealed.

“Huh.”

“Are you really saying that Seir was a traitor belonging to the ‘scene’?”

The reaction of the elves listening to my story was not good.

Seir was never a low-ranking person even within Rastilia, so was this a natural reaction?

For reference, Sin was not well known to humans, but it was a well-known organization that most heterogeneous people had heard of.

In particular, since the majority of Dark Elves belonged to the organization, there was no one who did not know among the Elves.

“Adrias.”

“yes.”

“Looking at Adrias-nim’s expression, it seems that Seir isn’t the only traitor… … Is that right?”

With an intuition close to mind reading, Rignir read my inner thoughts.

However, it was difficult to say that I knew it here, so I shrugged my shoulders.

In fact, it’s strange that I know the identities of the traitors.

It must be unusual for humans to know the scene in the first place.

“All right.”

Rignir smiled and nodded, even though I didn’t respond.

are you caring for me

It’s convenient at times like this.

After roughly finishing the work at the World Tree, discussions on compensation began in earnest.

“Is there anything else you want, Adrias?”

“I am a nobleman with the title of Count of Laudelen Empire. And I am running a small guild owned by my family.”

“Speaking of the top… … Do you want to trade?”

trade with elves.

I don’t know how it used to be, but at least for now, it’s very rare.

In particular, unlike other regions, I had never heard of any country or guild that was exchanging or trading with the elves of Rastilia.

Since the world tree is in Rastilia, it was actually the largest single elven force here, and if trade with such Rastilia was possible, it would be a huge benefit.

“yes. Is it possible?”

“of course.”

“Chairman!”

Someone interrupted with a surprised voice, but soon the stinging gaze focused and wrinkled.

Looking at the overall atmosphere, everyone was favorable to me.

“I am not a practitioner in matters related to trade, so I cannot negotiate in detail. May I call your agent?”

“There is no need to visit this far away. We will send someone.”

As expected, Rignir, who guessed my feelings through intuition, struck first.

I was worried because it was a bit dangerous to bring Amy here, but I would appreciate it if the elf came.

Of course, if Amy could visit Rastilia, she would have risked coming, but… … .

‘I can’t tolerate it.’

The Great Forest is dangerous.

If Amy could protect herself like Vivian or Serena, I don’t know, but even if she did, I don’t think she would have allowed it, but it’s the opposite anyway.

“Tell me what more you want.”

I don’t know the details of the trade, so when I roughly finished it, Rignir looked at me with clear eyes and said.

“I want to establish a friendly alliance between Rastilia and Cromwell along with trade.”

“Of course it is. Adrias-sama is the benefactor of the World Tree. As you may know from the oracle, we cannot receive blessings without Adrias, so we will do our best to stay by Adrias’ side.”

It’s just a metaphor to keep my side, right?

Anyway, I’m glad it turned out to be easier than I thought.

“Is there anything we can do for you other than that obvious request?”

“Um… … .”

When I saw the elves who were trying to take care of me, I couldn’t think of anything.

It was ambiguous because he hadn’t been involved in this from the beginning hoping for something from the elves.

‘I thought he would take care of it, but let’s think about it.’

If it hadn’t happened at the World Tree, I think I would have demanded a swordsmanship.

In the first place, the purpose of this trip was to find a swordsmanship for Serena.

And for him, he was going to use Maximin to search for the dungeon hidden in the Great Forest to find the sword method, but he suddenly obtained the transcendental sword method.

Of course, it could be different from the original because I reinterpreted it at my own discretion through the traces, but it was far superior to the original swordsmanship I was trying to find.

So for now, I was thinking of handing it over to Serena.

Rignir spoke to me again as if he had read my concerns.

“Adrias-sama, I heard you got branches, leaves, and fruits from the World Tree.”

“yes.”

“Can I see you?”

At Rignir’s words, the eyes of the elves sitting at the round table began to lose their expectations.

If you dare to say those things, you might want to do something for them, but first of all, they took out leaves and fruits.

“It’s a real fruit.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it except for the one kept in the temple.”

“This leaf is no ordinary leaf either. Blessed Leaf. Probably one of the top ones.”

When I put it out on the round table, everyone was busy watching with admiration.

There was no greed in their eyes.

It should be said that it is different from humans.

Among them, there were a few who had the same unique thoughts as Seir, but in general, the elves were a race that lived leisurely without being greedy.

Instead, it was true that he talked a lot due to his stubbornness and closed-mindedness.

“Twigs… … .”

I apologized and summoned Nickel’s arm from subspace to receive the bag.

The elves who were watching the scene asked me with a suspicious expression.

“Is that a subspace artifact? You don’t have to answer, but it’s like… … It looks like you used magic yourself.”

“The magic is correct.”

I said, taking a twig out of my bag.

“I can use both swords and magic.”

“ah… … . no way?”

no way?

What?

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the conference hall turned cold.

As I looked at them with eyes asking for an explanation, what the hell was going on, Rignir opened his mouth.

“Adrias-nim must have inherited the Cromwell family of the Rodlen empire, right?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“Do you know who the founder of the Cromwell family is?”

um yeah… … .

In my memory, Dominic Cromwell was the founder.

It was not a family of founding merit, but a family that joined when Rodlen became a kingdom, and was originally known to have been a feudal lord based on the land named Cromwell.

“A man named Dominic Cromwell is my father. Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“As Adrias-sama may have guessed, Rastilia is a city that has been passed down since ancient times, where the World Tree was planted. That is why there are still traces of ancient times and customs.”

Rignir pointed to the fruit of the World Tree and said.

“As such, old legends and information are quite common. One of them is a story about a human who can wield sword and magic at the same time.”

It was a completely unexpected story.

Originally, I was a body that could only handle magic, and I was able to handle both with my characteristics, so I was a separate person from that story, but I couldn’t help but be curious.

“Since ancient times, it has been said that only the descendants of the gods can wield swords and magic at the same time. Of course, it’s just a story like a legend, so I’m not sure, but until now, it’s been rare for humans to handle both at the same time, so this kind of reaction came out.”

I am a descendant of the gods… … .

If so, does it mean that Edmund the Great, who founded the Laudelen Empire, was a descendant of a god?

It was a story that had nothing to do with me anyway.

“Anyway, that’s fine. In fact, you already have a good sword, so I didn’t think you would be very happy if I made a sword with these materials, but we’ll make an artifact out of it.”

“How about an artifact?”

“If there is something else you want, I will make it for you.”

you want… … .

In fact, I was a wizard by name, but I didn’t have any magic tools.

If there is a magic amplification tool like Diene’s ‘Roar of Dawn’, it would definitely be useful in practice, but the problem is that I have to pick up a sword.

“Would you like to leave it to me?”

After pondering over Rignir’s proposal for a while, I nodded.

“Please.”

“Please. In fact, trade alone was not enough to repay the benefactor. We, the elves of Rastilia, will do our best to prepare a wonderful gift for our benefactor.”

Soon, the elves took the leaves and twigs of fruit, and the elves around the round table bowed their heads toward me.

“I will never disappoint you. I’ll even rob the materials from each family’s warehouse to make a treasure!”

The elder of a fairly famous family shouted as if he had boiled a fire pit.

I’m grateful for the passion, but to say it like that makes me a bit worried.

“Adrias-sama, since it will take a little while to make the artifacts, can I send them with you when I dispatch negotiators related to trade later?”

“yes. Please do so.”

“thank you.”

Afterwards, the meeting ended with a little more information about the location of the Apple Tree Mansion and Cromwell’s Upper House.

The elves wanted me to stay a little longer, but they had solved their problems and had everything to gain, so there was no reason to stay here any longer.

“How many days have passed in total?”

Because of the experience in the World Tree, the concept of time has become entangled.

In reality, it was only a few days, but I was confused.

Calculating that it happened in less than a week, there was still plenty of time before returning to the academy.

“I will take you there.”

Aimir, who felt like seeing him for the first time in a while, rode a griffin.

Now that the leader of the Wind Knights is gone, I don’t know what will happen to the Wind Knights.

“please.”

It didn’t take long to get to the village of the Hwanin by riding the Griffin.

I sat on her back and looked down at the forest, feeling the spirit of the wind.

“ah!”

Amir suddenly exclaimed and turned to look at me.

“Is there a problem?”

“The Spirit has detected signs of a battle. Not far from the village of the Hwanin tribe… … .”

She stopped talking and put on a dazed expression for a while, probably communicating with the spirits.

And then the focus came back and he told me.

“The phantom race is fighting something.”

“Are you serious?”

“yes. I can’t believe it, but I’m fighting the undead.”

“Undead?”

“I haven’t been able to go on patrol recently due to the world tree and the former leader, so I never thought this would happen… … .”

Looking at Amir’s hard expression, it seemed like it was a big deal.

However, it is not too much of a concern that Merkur, Isabelle, and Maximin existed in the village of the Hwanin tribe.

‘Rather, the opponent is pitiful? By the way, who is the undead?’

Is it related to Harungel?

Or does it have something to do with me?

“Could you go directly to the place where you are fighting?”

“yes. I’ll be right there.”

As if he was happy with my proposal, Amir immediately responded and increased his speed while manipulating the griffin.

And soon we could see raccoons fighting the undead.

‘Where did Merkur and Maximin go?’

The invisible ones were let go and immediately jumped off the griffin’s back.

“Adrias!”

I heard Amir’s startled cry, but I came down easily, stepping on the thick trees.

“profit! tasteless bastards! die!”

“Give it!”

In fact, except for shouting, the Hwanin tribe, who did not excel in combat, were enthusiastic even though they were losing.

Aside from their skills, they were an ironic race that were aggressive and not pushed back by their personality.

Slap!

―That’s it… … .

I looked around looking for a raccoon that was about to be dangerous.

Undead made from lizardmen.

The level was so high that I was surprised at the moment that Morn had come directly.

“human? human! A human has come!”

The raccoon who received the help made a fuss, but first, clean up the surroundings.

I summoned my undead without hesitation to prevent further casualties.

less so

– Kheung!

―Hee hee!

Three fast undead popping out in an instant, and a huge new model appeared behind me.

―Goooooooooooo!

As Ludo raised his body and let out a roar, the battlefield instantly fell silent.

However, that was soon broken by the fuss of the Hwanin tribe.

“wow! It’s a big bummer!”

“Give me that too! Give it to me!”

It seems that they misunderstood that it was the same Undead, but soon after Ludo swung a huge sword and wiped out the Undead Lizardman, and they cheered.

“The tasteless big guy will defeat them all!”

“good! Kill them all!”

The Hwanin tribe went into cheering mode before they knew it, and Amir, who had followed them belatedly, witnessed this scene with shaking eyes.

“What the hell is this… … .”

Come to think of it, you probably didn’t know I was a warlock.

Still, I didn’t feel the need to hide from the elves, so I calmly watched with my arms crossed.

The undead made of lizardmen were certainly strong.

But, of course, it was not enough to deal with my elite undead.

‘The number is more than expected.’

But, as always, there was no business in Daguri.

The opponent’s undead, which didn’t seem too many due to the forest, came in endlessly, even though they thought they had reduced them quite a bit.

Did it swallow an entire village?

“Hey raccoon.”

“Yes? I’m not a raccoon. Delicious!”

“Where did Merkur go?”

“Mercourt went to check the monster’s tomb in a hurry because something went wrong right now! While I was checking, these guys came in droves!”

“A monster’s grave?”

You mean Harungel’s tomb, right?

If something happened to Harungel’s grave, was it the work of the necromancer who also came after Harungel?

‘Is it a history in the game that I don’t know about?’

It was then.

Uh uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I could feel the thick, dark magic that sent chills down my spine all over my body.

And, as if I wasn’t the only one who felt that, the phantoms and Amir started to tremble.

“It’s in the direction of Mu Grave! The monster’s seal has been lifted!”

One of the founders of the Assemblies of Ten.

The immutable Harungel.

In fact, I never encountered any traces of him, so I thought he was a historical figure who only existed in text… … .

‘This crazy magical power! Wasn’t he a dead person?’

Something was happening in the tomb.
