Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 160. Taedong

“Good job, Sir Hegel.”

There was someone who arrogantly looked down on the entire continent.

A man with more power than anyone else in the world.

He was now welcoming Hegel on an artificial floating island floating in the sky above the imperial palace, in the garden outside the villa created exclusively for the emperor.

“As planned, we left traces. A response will come soon.”

“It was a free car, but it turned out well. After a long time, I will be able to taste the blood of savages.”

The emperor touched the sword tied to his waist and smiled.

There was a thick scent of blood in that smile.

Hegel silently watched the scene and waited for the emperor’s impression for a while before opening his mouth.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“I’ve been working with the warchief for a while, bringing in my wrath this time. And he confirmed that he is the Auror Master.”

“Oh, barbarian, but you mean master?”

“That’s right.”

The emperor with an intrigued expression suddenly stood up and drew his sword.

sereung.

A bewitching purple blade.

One of the sins, ‘arrogance’, was revealed.

Whiik!

Bubbeobuck!

The emperor just swung his sword at a nearby tree.

Then, purple sword energy poured down and destroyed not only the tree he was aiming for, but also the area.

“Aura Master… … Aura Master! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Seeing the madness of the emperor, Hegel just quietly lowered his head.

After indiscriminately cutting the surroundings for a while, the emperor soon put in his arrogance and sat down again.

“Sir Hegel.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“How does it feel to be a superman? You’re also a Warlock, so I’d like to hear your opinion.”

“Feeling like a superman… … Are you talking?”

“I can use this sword’s energy to create this kind of power, but you can’t casually use more power than this with your own ability.”

“I am not stronger than Your Majesty. Besides, Your Majesty is the supreme being who looks down on everyone. Even those who, like me, wear the humble title of Superman, are all in a position to be served by His Majesty. In the end, isn’t the one who can command superhumans the strongest?”

Despite Hegel’s words, the expressionless emperor’s face did not move.

The emperor nodded as if he had just heard the obvious, and soon quenched his neck with tea and shook his hand.

“Okay. After that, you don’t have to come in person, so just leave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

As Hagel disappeared into the ground, the emperor muttered, tapping his sword as usual.

“A superman, a superman… … .”

His eyes were filled with arrogance and a bewitching light.

After a while, Xavier Leonard, the leader of the Imperial Guard and one of the 10 Continental members, appeared with someone.

It was Hector Kazaf, the chancellor and right-hand man of the emperor.

“Meet Your Majesty.”

“Suddenly. What happened?”

“sorry. The news was so urgent that I ran to it myself.”

“Speak.”

“The North was caught in a commotion. The movements of the savages are unusual.”

“The signal is coming right away.”

At the Emperor’s words, Hector’s eyes widened.

“Ah, did you know?”

“It’s something Jim made up. Don’t worry. Better than that. Gather your troops now.”

“The troops… … .”

Hector, who was speechless, made a flustered gesture, but soon felt the emperor’s cold gaze and swallowed.

“I take orders.”

“okay. Isn’t the time to go on an expedition to the north anyway? It’s just the right time.”

Hector struggled to manage his expression at his light tone, as if he were out for a walk.

The Northern Expedition is, in a word, war.

Although the scale was smaller than that of wars with other countries, it was an important national event.

As it was a war, each aristocratic family would borrow troops and collect the allocated taxes, which was the responsibility of the chancellor, Hector.

Extreme backlash was expected before the headache.

‘And now the international situation is not good. Even so, His Majesty cannot be stopped… … .’

It was unknown how it would spread if such a military movement was shown while noise was coming out in various ways from neighboring countries.

‘I can’t believe His Majesty planned it.’

To be honest, the opposition or the international situation did not matter.

If it was the power of the emperor of the Laudelen Empire, all but the four dukes could bend it.

What was even more shocking was that he did not know this in advance.

‘He didn’t tell me in advance.’

It reminded me of Count Cromwell, who had been beaten up one day.

Of course, he was a duke and the emperor’s right-hand man, but he couldn’t stop Cromwell from rising.

‘His Majesty… … What are you up to?’

It was an irreversible flow from that day ten years ago.

The wind of a new era was covering the continent like that.

* * *

The Apple Tree Mansion in Welton Manor was busier than ever.

Now, rather than just a simple mansion, the site of the mansion, which gives off an atmosphere like the head office of the guild, was visited by workers from other guilds to trade, and agents from other guilds were waiting in the parlor and chatting.

“It’s still small, but it’s explosive growth in a short period of time.”

“I was surprised to hear that he used the mansion he lives in because he didn’t have the money to buy the upper lot. Not only the power to act, but also the determination and boldness are amazing.”

“I heard that you are only twenty years old. It’s guts that seems like the liver has come out of the stomach for a young age. Of course it’s a compliment. haha.”

While they were talking, Amy, who was using her father’s office before she knew it, got up from her seat looking at the person she was facing.

“It was a satisfactory transaction.”

“It was a good deal for us. We will contact you often in the future.”

“yes. See you often.”

After shaking hands, an official from the upper ranks left the room, and Maria, the new secretary, said quietly.

“Get some rest.”

“no. We still have guests, but we can’t rest. I’ll finish it and rest.”

“If you overdo it, it will not be effective. Stop doing that and have a cup of tea.”

Maria spoke softly but strongly and immediately began to prepare tea.

Amy smiled faintly at her action.

“Thank you, Sister Maria.”

“Most of the work is done by the boss, but I am rather apologetic. I will quickly learn the job and relieve you of work.”

“It’s already helping enough. Thank you for your words.”

A fragrant Morheim scent bloomed.

Mohaime tea made with Mohaiim flowers was easy to source, but difficult to manage, and the manufacturing method was kept secret only by the Duke of Morhaime, so it was a high-quality tea that was difficult for the common people to drink.

Amy wasn’t the type to be extravagant, so she didn’t buy it herself.

It was a sudden gift from the Duke of Morhaime not too long ago.

‘The letter that came with the gift said that he would send someone soon.’

I couldn’t figure out exactly why.

However, the nuance of the letter was very benevolent, so I could only guess.

“What on earth did my brother do to get along with the duke’s family? Aren’t you busy just with the academy?”

Thinking it must have something to do with Adrias, Amy moistened her lips with tea.

As soon as the warm tea entered, my body felt drowsy and my sharp nerves relaxed a little.

‘It’s growing smoothly. If you earn enough money like this for about 15 years, you will return to Cromwell’s estate… … .’

smart.

Then someone knocked on the door of the office.

“who are you.”

When Maria stepped forward and asked, a voice came from the other side.

“This is John. Sir Cromwell has just arrived at the mansion.”

Amy was surprised by what the staff at the top said.

“Your brother? Come in at once.”

When the door opened, John’s figure appeared.

He shook his hand without even entering the office.

“Ah, I just wanted to tell you that His Excellency Cromwell has arrived… … .”

“is that so? All right. Where is your brother now?”

“Perhaps you are coming here by now… … ah!”

John looked down the hallway and bent over.

Then Adrias appeared with the sound of a pair of shoes.

“brother!”

“long time no see.”

Adrias greets Amy with a smile and grabs John by the shoulder to lift him up.

“Please take good care of my sister in the future.”

“yes? yes! yes yes… … .”

When the head of the Cromwell family, whom he saw for the first time, treated him with respect, John, embarrassed, stammered and nodded his head fervently without realizing it.

“Then let’s go to work.”

“yes. Good job John!”

With Amy’s greetings, Adrias went into the office and when the door closed, John stood blankly and pulled his cheek.

“Huh… … .”

It couldn’t have been a dream.

Thinking that they were just a little odd aristocratic siblings, he went back to his business.

Adrias entered the room and immediately looked around the room and asked.

“I told you not to use this room… … .”

“Rather, don’t you feel more relieved because I’m always there?”

Adrias, who burst into laughter at Amy’s bold words, greeted Maria, who was standing there stiffly.

“hello.”

“Oh hello. My name is Maria Franz, the boss’s assistant. Sorry for the late greeting, sir.”

Maria Franz.

Adrias was internally surprised by the appearance of an unexpected person, but nodded without changing his expression.

Then he sat across from Amy.

Amy immediately turned to her brother and asked.

“What happened all of a sudden anyway?”

“What is it? You even sent me a letter saying vacation.”

“uh? ah!”

Amy laughed bashfully and scratched her head.

“right. Maria told me about it too, but I forgot.”

“I think it was because I was busy with business these days. I should have said it one more time… … .”

Adrias waved his hand, assuming that the talk was going to be long as they showed signs of blaming each other.

“doesn’t care. ‘Cause I’m here to take a break How about business than that?”

“Thanks to Dryun-nim’s help, I’m very busy. I get calls from all over the place.”

Salem’s pseudonym this time was Dhryn Housen.

He was officially registered as a vassal under Adrias as a collateral aristocrat of the now fallen family.

“Tell me if there is anything I can help with. It looks like I’ll be gone for a few days.”

“okay.”

Amy nodded and drank her tea.

When Maria stopped the car again and served it to Adrias, he tilted her head.

“Morheim tea? It couldn’t have been easily obtained.”

“ah! The duke of Morheim suddenly sent a letter and this car as a gift. But I have no connections to the duke’s family or the marquess’ family, right? Is it related to your brother?”

“Mohaime? It’s not unrelated.”

Amy and Maria felt a strange emotion when Adrias nodded calmly.

He is a duke, not another family.

It was also the only duchy of the four Laudelen Empires that held the title of ruler of the continent.

How many people in the world can say that they have a relationship with such a ducal family?

Adrias’ reaction was too plain compared to that.

“Is it really related to the Duke of Morheim?”

“uh. what are you so surprised With something you might know.”

Adrias looked at Amy, who was rather surprised, as if it were strange.

Then Amy looked at Maria next to her, wondering if she was weird, but their eyes met as if she was thinking the same thing.

“Sister Maria. Aren’t I weird?”

“Yes… … . Wouldn’t it be an ordinary thing to be acquainted with the duchy?”

At the reaction of the two, Adrias shook his head.

“What is so great about it? You may have come face to face. If that’s the case, is it a great relationship with the Dukes of Alven or the Dukes of Cloche, who saved them from being demoted?”

“what?”

“You didn’t know what? Last year, at the nongong peddling, our family title was almost lost, but Alven and Cloche helped us to keep it. Didn’t I tell you?”

“I never said anything! Oppa, why are you talking about such an important thing… … !”

Adrias scratched his temple as he looked at Amy, who seemed frustrated and couldn’t speak properly.

For him, things like titles were not very important, so he felt neglected.

As Amy blushed and hit her chest in frustration, Adrias quickly changed the topic.

“Oh, that Maria?”

“Yes sir.”

“I have something to say to you alone for a moment, would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

“All right.”

As Maria exited, Amy finally exploded.

“brother!”

“My ears hurt.”

“Is that a problem now?”

“Rather than that, Amy, I have to go down to the basement right now, right?”

“underground? The place where your father hid it?”

Adrias nodded, and Amy sighed and nodded.

“okay. For now, the back story continues after going underground.”

“okay.”

“Because I’m going to pry everything out!”

“Yes, yes.”

Soon after, Adrias, who summoned the door to the basement through blood, opened the door and went down.

After he disappeared, the door slowly disappeared again.

“Haa, what are you really thinking about living?”

As I was thinking about Adrias, I heard a knock at the door.

“This is Maria, the boss.”

“What happen?”

“Urgent news. They say a guest is coming from the Duke of Morheim.”

“yes?”

Amy had a lot of surprises today.

* * *

There was no need to come all the way home.

Still, it had to be a place where I felt comfortable as I had my family, Amy, and Salem.

‘It’s still fine here.’

I went downstairs and looked around.

Time had passed, so I wondered if the fairy flower had withered a little, but the mana in the air was still overflowing.

As I descended the stairs, I saw the spectacle of fairy pollen glowing and swimming once again, and when I finally reached the floor, I immediately summoned Nickel.

right! right!

“I’ll check it now.”

Nickel lifted the box in his hand over his head and clashed his teeth.

Even after escaping Monet’s maze, I couldn’t check the box left by the Chaos Mimic because I was unconscious for a while.

However, if I took the time to look at it, I couldn’t even take it out because it would be difficult because of the unique wave if it contained a named-level item.

‘This is the perfect place to check the box.’

It was not a bad choice because I was planning on coming home anyway.

“Give me Let’s see what’s there.”

Chaos Mimic was a little strange.

I haven’t caught that many in the game, but I’ve never had an item duplicated.

I think it was a format where only a few randomly came out of the contents inside.

‘It’s a pity that I can’t have everything.’

I thought the amount was small for what I had collected since ancient times, but it seemed that there was no reason other than that.

“Is it a ‘lucky game’?”

Better than nothing.

It’s something I wasn’t expecting in the first place.

As Nickel watched, I put my arm inside the box.
