Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 355. Declaration of war]

“Jerome!”

Seeing the little girl waving her hand as if calling a puppy, Jerome, who had a strong body, walked away.

“hurry!”

[“Okay.”]

The girl’s appearance was as unusual as his own.

Shining silver hair and shining eyes that seemed to contain the Milky Way were impressive.

‘Unusual?’

Why does he know that he has such a unique appearance? I felt a sense of incongruity when I felt that I was thinking about universal appearances as if I already knew them.

“Uncle Hans!”

“Hey, Lady Luna, welcome. This is the apple jam soboro room I mentioned earlier.”

“wow!”

Seeing Luna acting casually with the people working inside the castle, Jerome hesitantly approached.

“ah! Uncle Hans, this is Jerome. Ummm…….”

Luna pointed at Jerome and introduced herself, then narrowed her eyes and fell into trouble.

“what? hire driver? scrounger? customer?”

When Luna tilted her head and said, a cook named Hans, who was watching her, laughed.

“How about anything? Now, since it’s freshly baked bread, it should be delicious if you eat it now. The tall man over there should also come and have a bite.”

Jerome, who was not used to the act of eating something, carefully picked up the bread at Hans’ suggestion.

“Hot!”

“haha! That’s hot! Cool slowly and eat.”

“I told you to eat now!”

Jerome took a bite of bread while watching Luna who was fighting against her. Jerome, who unknowingly shuddered at the warm and sweet sensation he felt, said.

[“It’s delicious.”]

“Isn’t it? The jam made from apples harvested from Isabelle’s orchard tastes especially good. haha!”

“I will eat too!”

Jerome savored the bread, chewing it slowly and swallowing it. By the time Luna was feeling the lingering aftertaste of the sweetness she had experienced for the first time in her life, Luna was holding bread in both hands and bringing it to her mouth at random.

“As expected, Uncle Hans’s bread is the best!”

“Sure! I am confident that my baking skills are unmatched anywhere in the empire.”

Is the world this peaceful?

Jerome felt an unknown emotion at the scene that contrasted so much with the battlefield he first woke up to.

‘The reason I was born.’

There was something Adrias said while moving from Morheim to Cromwell. That he may be a biological weapon born to kill humans.

However, it meant that such a fate could be changed sufficiently with one’s own will and the help of the people around him.

[“I like this bread.”]

“Hahaha! thank you We will make a variety of bread in the future.”

[“Did you say Uncle Hans?”]

“Call me Hans.”

[“Hans, aren’t you tired of the war?”]

Hans touched his chin at Jerome’s sudden question.

“Hmm, I didn’t really feel anything like that. This is all thanks to our lord and the lord’s deputy.”

[“Are you feeling peace?”]

“I guess so.”

Jerome asked himself.

Perhaps he is a creature born from this war, but can he really defend the war with it?

[“Are you happy?”]

“Right. I’m just happy to bake for so many people every day and prepare meals for the castle workers. Honestly, it’s a war and all, but I don’t really feel it on my skin. There was only one time when the imperial army invaded, but that was resolved with the return of the lord.”

At that time, Luna, who was putting bread in, handed Jerome the bread in her hand and said,

“How about eating this bread, Jerome?”

[“How are you?”]

“Are you happy?”

Jerome received the bread from Luna.

Then I took a bite and felt the sweetness again. It cooled down a bit and the mild taste disappeared, but it was still delicious.

[“Is this the feeling of being happy?”]

“That’s right! I’m happy when I eat the bread Uncle Hans makes!”

If…

If he had acted like the black knight he killed last time, would he have felt these emotions?

He probably cut down a lot of people mercilessly and was killed by someone soon after.

[“War…isn’t good.”]

It was a contradiction that denied war even though it was born because of it. But Jerome decided not to think deeply.

Now it was too much to just feel the sweetness that remained in my mouth.

**

I couldn’t take a long break.

Since we already know that the episode of the 4 knights of the Apocalypse has been twisted, it has become difficult to specify where the blue knight of death will appear.

‘War is important, but I have to deal with the blue knight first.’

Evan’s intelligence organization merged with the assembly, and its scale was far larger than before. To be honest, I didn’t even know how to manage it, but thanks to that, high-quality information was filtered and reached me.

“The emperor vacated the imperial palace?”

As I was trying to figure out the blue knight’s location every day, unexpected information was delivered to me.

“That’s right. Regarding that, Sir Evan is said to be visiting in person.”

“Um, I see. thank you for your effort.”

When the person reporting the report left, I touched my forehead while looking at the report Evan had written himself.

‘It’s actually not a big deal that the emperor moved.’

The problem was timing.

It was a story that it was such a big deal that the imperial palace was empty at a time like this.

“Where did you go?”

Vivian, who was by her side, also poked her head, wondering if she was curious.

“There is none. It seems that the fact that the imperial palace was emptied was only speculation based on various circumstances.”

“Suspicious.”

Vivian recited my heart.

Knowing that the Emperor had in fact been in contact with the assembly, or Hegel, I couldn’t help but be concerned about what he was up to.

‘Could you make another annihilation episode?’

In fact, the Portion episode that saved Luna and changed was also an episode of destruction if you look closely. If left as is, Maxwell would have destroyed the world using Luna, who was forced to become a transcendent.

In fact, there were still some uneasiness about him. It was the weak transcendent energy remaining in Luna’s body.

“For now, I have no choice but to wait for Evan.”

Evan said he would come himself, so there was nothing to worry about. There’s nothing to talk about, but Evan isn’t relaxed enough to come here, so there must be something.

Tak tok tok tok!

There was a knock on the door with the familiar sound of running in the hallway.

“You may come in.”

“friend! Look at this!”

A letter was in Luna’s hand as she opened the door and entered.

“letter?”

What kind of letter is this all of a sudden?

It was also a letter with a sincere appearance that was properly sealed with a wax seal.

“Where did you get it?”

“A servant found it, but I stole it saying I’d give it to you instead.”

I received the letter and checked the seal.

And after thinking for a while about the appearance of the seal, which seemed strangely out of place, he opened the envelope.

Ugh!

The moment he took out the letter, the magic was activated, but he simply pressed it down with magic power and read the letter.

“Declaration of war.”

That was it.

And with just that text, I could tell where this letter came from.

“They are super people.”

superhumans of the empire.

Among them, it was a letter sent by those who belonged to the imperial palace or received requests directly.

“From now on, the real war begins.”

“huh.”

Vivian nodded, not seeming too concerned.

“War! Jeon Jae-ae-ah!”

As if Luna had become a brave general, she raised her fear sword and shouted.

“We will win this battle ah!”

It was hard to believe that a declaration of war had come to the superhumans, so there was no tension.

[“War?”]

At that time, Jerome, who seemed to have followed Luna, stuck his head out and asked.

“Supermen will come. It’s not because of Jerome, so you don’t have to worry.”

[“Are they all as strong as you?”]

“Well. There may be people stronger than me, but there are probably more weak people.”

Evan was also returning, so it was a force worth fighting for once. If you drag in the black magicians of the rally, you can win overwhelmingly, but you don’t need to draw attention.

‘Because if I did it for no reason, more people could come in the name of subjugation.’

If you block it this time, you won’t dare to touch Cromwell from next time.

[“If it’s not because of me, then why?”]

“It’s coming to attack our territory. You know where Jerome was first? You can see it as an extension of that war.”

[“I don’t know why you’re fighting.”]

Jerome murmured and suddenly gave me something he was holding in his hand.

[“It’s delicious.”]

“Bread?”

[“Hans said it was freshly baked bread this morning. it was tasty. Try it.”]

“Thank you.”

It was a really insignificant act of handing over the bread, but I felt the gap with the red knight I originally knew because of the kindness that felt so pure.

[“If there is a war here, you won’t be able to eat such delicious bread anymore, right?”]

“We will all try to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Jerome raised his right hand, or even his right sword, as he saw me cutting the bread and handing it to Vivian.

[“I want to help too.”]

“Then Jerome, please protect the people in this castle. If you stand out, it may cause more uproar.”

[“That’s right.”]

Jerome looked down at his body and scratched his head with his sword.

……Are you okay? It’s solid.

[“It’s hard to live a normal life with a unique appearance.”]

“At least in my estate, I’ll help you live as normal as possible.”

[“Then I have more reasons to help you.”]

Jerome’s powerlessness seemed to need to be measured someday. There are some abilities that I have experienced in the game, but this time I showed my skills enough to beat the Black Knight, so it was a strength that I was looking forward to.

“When will you come?”

asked Vivian while eating her bread.

“I won’t come right away after declaring war.”

The only problem was that the time for the appearance of the Blue Knight was getting closer and closer. Due to the twisted cycle in Jerome and the Black Knight, I couldn’t even guess when it would appear.

In particular, in the case of the Blue Knight, if given a little time, the entire surroundings would be destroyed, so it was necessary to deal with it as quickly as possible to reduce the damage.

“I have to tell people first.”

“huh.”

“I’ll let you know! It’s a war!”

Raising the dread sword above her head, Luna ran out. Following Luna, Jerome slightly bowed his head to me.

As long as they were there, Cromwell had nothing to fear.

**

In the room decorated like a laboratory, all kinds of leftover snack boxes and trash were lying around. A guest after a long time came to the room, which had been banned from entering so much that it was not even cleaned.

“I never thought you would come here.”

“Did I look so mean?”

“Ah, that’s not what you mean. sister.”

Diene smiled and stroked Lucia, who had a sullen expression on her face.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

“I honestly didn’t do anything. Even when it was dangerous, most of them were handled by Adrias-senpai or other warlocks…….”

After saying that, Lucia suddenly stared at Diene’s face.

“why? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“The fact that you came to me means you’ve already met Adrias-senpai first?”

“It’s not like that. I came here first.”

“If you came here first, you mean you’ll be going to Cromwell soon, too?”

“I can’t say anything.”

Diene sighed, then smiled.

Lucia’s unchanging personality reminded her of her academy days.

“It looks the same, so I really don’t have to worry anymore.”

“It’s still there. I’ve been through so much trouble in that goddamn Portion. Perhaps my magic skills have surpassed that of my sister?”

“Oh oh? Did our Lucia do that? Shall we check it out?”

“Hehe. Treating juniors like that ends today, unnie.”

Lucia tried to smile as wickedly as she could, but Diene, who looked cute even in that way, stroked her once more.

“But when did you wash?”

“well. Was it five days ago?”

“…Let’s go wash up and check our skills.”

Diene, who wanted to ask about something she could feel while stroking Lucia’s head, quickly withdrew her hand when her prediction came true.

“Did you come from far away to wash me? I’m so sorry…….”

“If you know I’m sorry, follow me quickly.”

Diene, who dragged Lucia by force, took her straight to the bath.

Chow!

“Ugh kick.”

Lucia frowned and dodged the splashing water, but soon the water droplets created by magic covered her.

“It’s good to do research and practice magic, but you have to keep it clean. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.”

“Bubble!”

He opened his mouth as if in protest, but all he could hear was the bubbling of water. When Diene couldn’t hold back her laughter at that sight, Lucia used magic to drench Diene as well.

Chew!

“I expected it.”

However, a thin film had formed around Diene.

“You’re cowardly sister.”

“Don’t talk, let’s wash up first. Put your head on it.”

Soon after, Diene, who was frothing and touching Lucia’s head, asked a question in a low voice.

“Is Adrias okay?”

“I almost died. Didn’t the Master of the Magic Tower tell you?”

“I heard you. Thanks to that, he almost died half way too.”

“It’s not empty talk, it’s real. While trying to save Adrias-senpai, even the Master of the Tower almost went to the other world.”

Chow-Ah-

The bubbles were washed away.

Lucia, who followed that figure with her eyes, immediately brushed her hair and looked at Diene.

“If you came here anyway, doesn’t that mean you won’t care?”

“yes.”

“Then go to Cromwell, too. It looks like we’ll be going to Cromwell soon anyway, right?”

“To Cromwell?”

“yes. As you can see, since we are a family that bought a title, we lack the strength to defend ourselves. There is a lot of money, but in this situation, money is just a tasty prey.”

“So you’re trying to defect to Cromwell.”

“Originally, we were going to go to Morheim, but we changed our route because we thought they would suck us down to the marrow.”

Diene pondered at Lucia’s words before opening her mouth.

“When are you leaving?”

“A week at least? Will you go with me?”

“Can I?”

“That’s good. Because I can still be with you.”

“I’ll have to ask His Excellency Hollington, too.”

“Let me tell you. No, why don’t you go out and talk with me right away?”

“okay.”

Diane nodded and smiled.

Cromwell was already in her heart.
