Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 224. To change fate ]

An artificial floating island floating in the sky of the Empire.

As usual, the emperor was tending the plants there.

“You didn’t show up for a while, so why did you show up?”

In that place where no one seemed to be there except the emperor, the emperor’s words rang hollowly.

“I am embarrassed, Your Majesty.”

“It’s a play, and I’m saying you should sleep and explain why.”

“There was an urgent business in Portrion.”

“Was that more important than burden or sin?”

“It was more important than sin, but I dare not compare with Your Majesty.”

The emperor looked at Hegel, who appeared with languid eyes.

“Did you know things would turn out like this?”

“Please. However, as Your Majesty knows, our assembly was uncontrollable because it was difficult to unite with one opinion.”

“That is no excuse.”

The emperor slowly rose from his seat.

Immediately, energy spread from the sword at the waist to the whole body, and a purple aura began to cover the whole body.

“It doesn’t matter what the war is about. In the first place, I don’t even think of fighting with barbarians as a war. Rather than that, anger, where is anger now?”

“I will definitely bring it back later.”

“later? Jim knows that even the rebellion of the existing kingdoms is the work of a few warlocks. You’ve been very busy, yes.”

Hegel put on a troubled expression and lowered his head.

As the assembly was an organization without an owner, each faction acted individually.

It was so free and many things were possible at the same time, but there were many cases where it was out of control like this time.

“I’d rather show it in action than just a promise like that.”

“I will definitely do that.”

“Let’s go. There are a lot of things to deal with because of the kingdoms playing tricks below.”

Hegel took off his bowler hat, greeted them politely, and then dispersed and disappeared.

The emperor, still emitting a purple aura, clicked his tongue.

“Tsk. Is it time to let go?”

The power of arrogance was reaching its peak.

“Bahat Alven. I don’t know why you’re here, but you have a good eye.”

Maximin spoke calmly.

Of course, if his identity was revealed, I was the only one in trouble, and Maximin was just confident.

“Is it safe to say that we have been interacting with each other ever since we visited the academy last time?”

“well.”

Maximin shrugged and pushed Monsieur on the back.

Monsieur then ran towards Kairak.

“father!”

Kairak held Monsieur in his arms and was wary of his surroundings.

It showed a will to never lose a child again.

“Once confirmed, we will leave. As soon as we leave, I want the units in each region to retreat and retreat.”

“i get it.”

“And you don’t have to make a contract for the contents of the transaction, right? I believe that warriors who know honor will keep their promises.”

“okay.”

The barbarians finished with this.

I turned my head to look at Maximin, let out a sigh, and walked towards him.

“Let’s go.”

“Adrias. I wouldn’t have finished talking to you yet.”

I could feel Bahat grinning and talking in the back of my head.

When I turned my head and saw him, Bahat smiled.

“I don’t want you to forget that I turned a blind eye to you and helped you.”

“I’ll tell you once I get out of here. I don’t want to stay here any longer and get caught up in something pointless.”

“Okay.”

Talking around is my specialty, so I wasn’t too worried.

In the first place, if Maximin or I were going to say something about trying to end the war on our own, something would have happened right away.

We got out of the Valley of Wailing and returned to the nearest territory, Borgien.

The lord, Hiksham Borgijen, was back in Borghien, and he was clearly taken aback by Bahat’s unexpected visit.

“If I had known you would come like this, I would have prepared in advance…”

“No need. Rather than that, I would like you to guide me to a place where we can talk quietly.”

Hiksham will probably be in quite a bit of trouble once this is over.

It’s only natural that he abandoned the territory during the war and ran away, but thanks to the infinite generosity of nobles in this world, the territory will not be taken away.

A total of four people entered the room Hiksham guided.

It was me, Bahat, Maximin Maximin, and Evan.

‘It’s luxurious.’

It’s not some kind of all-star member, but 3 out of 10 people on the continent are together.

Bahat seemed to know Maximin’s identity, but Evan didn’t seem to know.

“I didn’t know you were here.”

It was Maximin who spoke first.

He was talking to Evan, but Evan just smiled leisurely.

“Come to think of it, you were the one who recommended Adrias to me.”

“It is by following the guidance of the light.”

At the sudden conversation between the two, Bahat looked at me with eyes asking what this was again.

It wasn’t something I could hide, so I said it indifferently.

“This is Sir Evan. I was active in the Holy Land.”

“Evan von Orleon?”

Bahat looked at Evan with a surprised look.

Then Evan politely bowed his head and corrected Bahat’s words.

“There is no surname Orléon anymore. Please feel free to call me Evan.”

“Huh true. Why is Sir Evan with you? Like Maximin Cronell, there are many things that need explanation.”

Need an explanation?

I answered simply.

“Sir Evan has decided to become my vassal. And Maximin also helped with this work with my help from the other day.”

“haha. The answer seems to have been omitted quite a bit, but I can’t ask the reason why.”

Bahat looked around at us and tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair.

A regular sound echoed through the room, and soon Bahat spoke again.

“Are you going to conquer the continent if you manage two of the 10 continents?”

“Maybe?”

“joy. sly guy. I have more questions than that. Why are you trying to end the war?”

Since you said it was sly, let me answer it smirkingly again.

“As I said, it’s for a cause. It would be a waste to shed blood for unnecessary things.”

“This question is not a joke. The merchants in your family’s name are already grasping the profits from this war. Besides, I already noticed the deal with Morhaime.”

“The contents of the tower lord support my opinion.”

“……Really stopped the war for a good cause?”

“According to what you said, the longer the war lasts the better for me. But I took the risk to end the war. If this fact had been known to other nobles or the imperial family, I would have been in quite an awkward situation.”

“I don’t understand. Why do you bother buying and suffering and losing money?”

Evan and Maximin also looked at me with strange expressions after hearing our conversation.

However, there was no need to explain the sins or the Emperor to them.

“I know it sounds funny. But it was really to save everyone.”

It is true that the cause was kept because the destruction-level scenario was prevented.

It’s not wrong, so I was able to spit it out with pride.

“Adrias Cromwell. You really don’t understand.”

“I have already taken care of my share. It’s not like I didn’t take care of it, so you don’t have to look at it strangely.”

A little silence passed.

Everyone seemed to be lost in their own thoughts, and I was relieved that I seemed to have handled the situation well.

“Originally, I was going to ask for something in return for my help this time. You could say that you are the biggest beneficiary of this war. But he changed his mind.”

Bahat rose from his seat.

“No matter how you think about it, there is nothing that will benefit you in exchange for ending the war. rather damage. Besides, taking a huge risk and going into the enemy camp alone…” ”

It was possible thanks to Sir Evan’s presence.”

“okay. The reputation of the 10 Continents is not going anywhere. But apart from that, if anyone other than me knew this, you would have been politically buried.”

“I am always grateful to the Lord of the Tower.”

“I just want to go. In order to send the retreating enemies away, I will have to step in and sabotage our troops.”

He glanced at Maximin and Evan one last time before leaving and smiled.

“Maximin Cronell and Evan von Orleon…Funny, funny.”

His vacant seat, which had disappeared using magic, was empty.

After a moment of silence, Evan opened his mouth.

“Your lord didn’t expect to meet me in the first place, did you?”

“yes? Yes it is.”

“Then did you intend to go into enemy territory alone?”

Evan’s question was delayed.

Did you realize it only now because of Bahat’s question?

“I had undead anyway.”

“Even so, I feel reckless. Should I say lord?”

Evan sipped the tea on the table with a relaxed smile.

Maximin, who was watching Evan, spoke after him.

“Anyway, that’s amazing. You, who I thought was a snob, are talking about a cause.”

“I am a human too.”

“Who said no? Rather, the snob is more like a human being. On the contrary, talking about a cause is not human.”

A dry smile spread across Maximin’s lips.

It was the first time I had ever seen him smile, so it was a bit awkward.

“Tell me honestly. Me and Evan are on your side anyway. What was the real reason you wanted to end the war?”

“To change fate.”

“what?”

I smiled at the dumbfounded Maximin.

“I can’t give up even one person, so I’m trying to be greedy.”

**

The barbarians quickly retreated.

Perhaps thanks to Bahat, the imperial troops were lukewarm than expected and the barbarians were able to safely withdraw.

In the first place, all the nerves of the empire were focused on the union of the kingdoms of the southwest, so there was no problem.

The Southwest Kingdom Alliance was cautious when the Empire let the barbarians back without much damage than expected, and because of that, it didn’t spread into a full-scale war, so only a little provocation came and went.

“Brother, my clothes are ready, can I go in?”

I opened the door at the sound of Amy’s voice outside the room door.

“This is it. how is it?”

“uh. It’s fine.”

I nodded my head towards Amy, who was holding up the outfit prepared for the banquet.

As she was tired from being so busy right after the war ended, this banquet will be a bit of a break.

“What about your clothes?”

“Of course I am ready! I prepared it before my brother’s.”

Seeing her in a pretty good mood, I was happy too.

It’s a banquet where you can’t help but feel good.

It was because it was a place where a nongong peddler and a banquet were held at the same time to commemorate the end of the war with the barbarians.

‘Morhaime ran pretty splendidly.’

The Duke of Morheim fought much better than I expected.

Thanks to that, Amy was turning the happy circuit, wondering if she could get at least one small estate in addition to the achievements I made in Mayton.

Even if I got the estate, Amy would manage it, so nothing changed in my life, but I couldn’t help feeling strange.

“Your Excellency, a guest has arrived.”

“Please guide me to the drawing room.”

And to this banquet, academy students who participated in the war were also invited.

Since it was a banquet I was going to, I called this way to go with them, but it seemed that they had just arrived.

“I’ll go get ready then.”

“okay.”

After Amy left, I continued walking towards the drawing room.

‘Youngjira…….’

It was a banquet that I was looking forward to.
