Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 330. Lurking in the pit ]

Huh–

A cool wind blew around.

Arriving in front of the depths, what unfolded in front of us was a huge hexagonal-shaped pit.

[Potreon’s depths]

That cliff-like pit was the depths where the Nivas Festival was held.

“Wow……”

“This is beyond my imagination.”

Luna and Lucia, who confirmed the depths with their own eyes, could not hide their surprise when they saw the depths located in the middle of the city.

“I thought it was just because it was deep inside the city, but it really turned out to be a cliff like this. The shape is also a six-pointed star, so it looks like a Portion.”

“Shouldn’t you have done some research when you said you were going to the Nivas Festival?”

Even though the depths of Portion were famous, Lucia certainly didn’t seem to be interested in anything other than her own.

“friend! Are you going down there?”

“yes. The place I was invited to is the ‘Round Table’ on the 3rd basement floor.”

Round Table To put it simply, it was a round table.

However, its size was much larger than that of an ordinary table, so there were plenty of seats even for Warlocks from all over the country to sit around.

“senior.”

Then Lucia called me and winked at me.

“It’s a Warlock.”

I could sense that someone was approaching. But if Lucia is a Warlock who knows at once…

“Hmm?”

The opponent looked at us and tilted his head.

His gray hair was fluffy like wool, and he looked like a medieval European aristocrat wearing a wig.

‘Visen Madar.’

He was the owner of the newly born Mage Tower, the Madar Tower, and the head of the Gray Bear School that he encountered the day before.

“The spectators…”

Vissen glanced at us, then turned to Luna.

“Luna Pendragon, I didn’t know you would come. Are you sure you want to participate in the Nivas Festival?”

“who is this?”

“Huh, this body is different from Bisen. Don’t you know me?”

After Vissen made a displeased expression, she looked at Lucia with me.

“I don’t admit you’re a Warlock, but I can’t argue with your eligibility. But one piece of advice: only one assistant can accompany you.”

“I don’t have an assistant.”

Luna shook her head and pointed at me.

“My friend’s assistant.”

“friend?”

Vissen stared at me.

Then he checked the sword tied to my waist and clapped his hands.

“It’s Adrias Cromwell!”

Still, since I’m a Warlock, I can guess who I am at once. Or is it normal?

“this this. I didn’t know the main character of this festival. Excuse me.”

“no. I couldn’t even say hello, but it’s common for each other.”

“In real life, I look younger. I don’t know how he became a warlock at his age. That’s great.”

My first impression was not good due to the way she treated Luna, but she paints my face with gold. Maybe this is the reaction of ordinary wizards.

“I… Mr. Vissen.”

At that time, the assistant next to Bissen whispered something in his ear.

“Hmm?”

Hearing the teaching assistant’s words, Bisen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at me.

“Are you saying one of our stupid guys didn’t recognize me the other day and did something rude?”

It wasn’t such a big deal, so it wasn’t reported to Bisen, who was the highest ranking person, but it seemed that it was reported to the wizard who followed him as his assistant.

Since I threatened to send you a letter, you must have played the game in advance to make it less scolding.

“First of all, apologize. I never thought there would be an idiot in our school who couldn’t recognize you even by looking at your appearance.”

“Nothing to worry about.”

I really intended to write a letter to protect my words, but it wasn’t a big deal. I was just in a bad mood.

“Maybe it’s because he’s young, he has a cool personality unlike other old people. Thank you for your understanding.”

“It’s not like that on purpose, so it’s okay.”

In the midst of an unexpectedly warm atmosphere, Vissen thought hard and opened his mouth.

“Is this your first time participating in the Nivas Festival?”

“That’s right.”

“Then go with me. The deep part is more complicated than I thought, so if it’s your first trip, you’ll get a little lost.”

I fell into trouble for a while at Bissen’s unexpected offer.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad for sure, but his attitude toward Luna at first bothered me.

“Don’t be embarrassed. You said it was okay, but I was bothered by it.”

It was difficult to refuse, but I decided to go separately. In the meantime, I sneakily checked Luna’s expression, but I didn’t know what she was thinking.

“I’m sorry, but……”

Uh-uh—

Mana shook.

Suddenly, someone appeared out of thin air while everyone in the place was tensed by the magical energy.

“Here you are.”

“Lord of the Magic Tower?”

“Yes, it is me.”

Vissen was startled by Bahat Alven who appeared out of nowhere and lowered his head.

“Meet Lord Rodleen Magic Tower.”

“huh? Isn’t it Vissen? Is it three years?”

This time, Bahat appeared with earplugs on for some kind of training and said as if he was happy.

“That’s right.”

“Good. We can all go together.”

I knew that Bahat was such an eccentric that he didn’t participate in the Nivas Festival, but it was surprising.

“Are you participating in the festival?”

“You call that a question? Being a Warlock doesn’t change being stupid.”

It was only when the usual sharp tone came out that I realized it.

“You didn’t know either?”

“If you knew, you would have told me, right?”

I thought that Lucia, a member of the Rodelian Magic Tower, would know whether or not Bahat participated, but considering his erratic behavior, it was understandable that he did not know.

“Should I talk to someone? Rather than that, what kind of combination is this?”

Bahat’s gaze reached Luna.

“Luna Pendragon.”

“Yes, I am Luna Pendragon.”

When Luna nodded and said, Bahat frowned.

“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. But why are you together?”

Bahat’s sharp gaze turned to me again. There was a strange sense of tension, but I answered indifferently.

“A friend.”

“friend? Chiyinguu?”

yes what what to do

Since he had to pretend to be with the empire anyway, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. Of course, it was still nominally across the Empire, but after the raid on the last territory, the Empire, or the Imperial Palace, became a complete enemy.

“Do you know what you are talking about?”

“yes.”

“Can you take responsibility for that?”

“Sure.”

There was no blockage in my answer.

Looking at me like that, Bahat looked at Luna once more and smiled.

“For now, don’t look at it as a Portion. If it was the territory of the Empire, you would have been killed instantly.”

I have no intention of doing so, but I just speak harshly.

I guess it’s kind of a warning. Don’t show off outside.

‘When he was with Maximin, he was quiet, but he seemed excited.’

I ran into Evan and Maximin in the North. At that time, it was funny to just ignore it and say something only to Luna.

“Then let’s go. Were you meeting at the round table?”

“That’s right, Lord Lorlen Magic Tower.”

Vissen treated Bahat with respect.

Bahat’s status was great, perhaps because he was one of the Warlocks listed in the Top 10 Continents.

“Friend…….”

When I was about to enter the depths in earnest, Luna grabbed my sleeve.

“Am I a nuisance to my friend?”

“yes?”

“Since yesterday, bad things have happened because of me.”

I felt sorry for Luna with a sullen expression.

Looking at it, I could tell that Luna was paying attention as well.

“If your friend is having a hard time because of me, you don’t have to be friends with me.”

I shook my head at Luna, who struggled to speak.

“I’m not forced to be friends with Luna.”

“really?”

“Sure. Rather, I think that I am so fortunate to have become friends with Luna.”

I stroked Luna’s silvery white hair.

“Thank you for asking to be friends then.”

“Eh…”

Luna’s voice trembled as she lowered her head as if she was trying to hide her expression. Then he rubbed his eyes and raised his head again.

“let’s go! friend! I’ve already gone all the way there!”

Luna had red eyes, but I quietly pretended not to know.

**

“Hey, what happened to this! Bahat Alven has been attending since the first day!”

3rd floor of the depths of Portion.

Fortunately, there was an entrance to the hexagonal-shaped pit. We were able to safely arrive at the round table with the guidance of Bisen, who seemed to have visited us often.

And a few wizards had already arrived at the Round Table, but most of them were Devourers residing in the depths.

“Close your snout, bison.”

“Oops!”

That Devourer, who made exaggerated gestures, was the notorious sorcerer Bison Stein.

He was not a black magician, but rather a worse person than a black magician.

“Hey, Luna and Pendragon came here too. A lot of special guests came today.”

I want you to turn your attention to Luna.

Then one of the devourers pretended to know me.

“long time no see. I never thought we would meet again like this.”

Biente to dry.

I know she is old, but she was a witch who only looked in her mid-thirties.

“Even when I met Biante at the academy, I didn’t expect to visit Portrion like this.”

“I knew you would come to the depths of course. I didn’t expect you to come this early. I can only say that the thesis and this work are really great.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

The announcement of the start of the festival is made exactly at noon. Because I arrived earlier than that, I received considerable attention from the people around me, but if Bahat wasn’t by my side, it would have been quite tiring.

‘Because even a debauer can’t carelessly play Bahat.’

If there was a warlock that could be compared, it would probably be only Maxwell.

‘Come to think of it…’

When I said that he was a wizard comparable to Bahat, Hegel, who called Luna, also came to mind. In fact, it seemed that Bahat would win if the two matched, but it was impossible to make a hasty decision because he had so many things to hide.

“Luna.”

“huh?”

I whispered into Luna’s ear.

“Didn’t Hegel say anything else? Did you just tell me to come?”

“huh!”

I was speechless for a moment as I nodded brightly. Did you come blindly just because I was told to come?

“Ah, Hegel isn’t coming.”

“yes?”

“My friend is coming here, so why don’t I go too? I came because Hagel said he wouldn’t come.”

Suddenly, a chill went down my spine.

Hegel himself didn’t participate, but he dared to send Luna here. Selling my name too.

‘In addition, did Hegel know in advance that I was going to participate in the festival?’

I could feel strongly that something was entangled.

Should I say intuition? It feels like all the awkwardness I’ve felt so far is put together as a puzzle.

‘The choice of Nivas was also announced ahead of schedule. That’s why I, who originally couldn’t participate in this festival, came to participate.’

Hegel, who told Luna that I was coming, knew in advance that Nivas’ choice would be announced before the festival. Nivas’ choice is overseen by Maxwell, so did the two talk about it?

It was ominous.

A collaboration between Maxwell and Hegel… a trap?

“ah! Brother Adrias!”

While I was seriously thinking about it, a voice I heard somewhere called my name.

When I turned my head, a young blue-haired wizard was smiling at me, standing next to a warlock who had just entered the Round Table.

“Keshurn?”

“How many years has this been? And what a warlock!”

Things get complicated.

I never thought that the playable Cashuren would participate in the Nivas Festival as an assistant.

Keshurn, who had grown tall before he knew it, seemed to have grown well, perhaps thanks to my treatment of the cancer in Grace Kingdom.

‘I was going to leave the festival even now…’

If all of this was a trap, Keshun could be in danger. And only I, who foresaw that it was a trap, was able to protect Keshurn from the unexpected.

If so, the best choice is…

“Lucia.”

“yes?”

“Take Luna with you and get out of Fortion right now.”

“……yes? What is that all of a sudden?”

“I don’t have time to explain. Take Luna out for now.”

I’m the only one who stays here to protect Keshurn.

That’s the best I’ve come down to.

Since Keshurn followed another Warlock, I couldn’t control him.

“all right.”

Fortunately, Lucia followed my words without any objection.

“Why friends?”

Luna looked at me in bewilderment, but literally didn’t have time to explain.

‘There are less than 10 minutes until noon.’

Still, I was able to briefly say something that could be a hint, so I explained it to Luna.

“Looks like Hegel set a trap.”

“Hegel?”

Luna tilted her head, but soon her expression cooled. Seeing her expression quickly calming down, I could tell that she wasn’t just a child either.

“Then what about friends?”

“I have to stay. If you move to me, the opponent will notice.”

Actually, it was to protect Keshurn, but I can’t explain that.

“……Go with me.”

“I am fine. So come on…”

Kung!

A huge vibration suddenly rang in the depths.

“what?”

“I guess Maxwell prepared a pretty fancy event?”

“That’s right, everyone.”

A huge voice resounded in the cavity called the Round Table.

“I prepared an event.”

It was Maxwell’s voice.
