Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 61. The Crown and Muriel’s Red Circle

Lifesaver?

Did you hear that the terror was prevented?

He was the eldest son of the Alven family, so it was easy to hear.

Since none other than Bahat Alven personally took charge of the case.

At first, I pretended not to know.

“To save lives. I don’t know what you mean.”

“Diene did. I heard that His Excellency might come to say hello to me. But even after two days, it was still a long way from seeing His Excellency. So I went to look for you personally.”

It was like that.

Given his far-fetched personality, it was only natural to look for him.

“I found out later that you were in a treatment facility.”

“You came.”

“yes. I was frustrated because I couldn’t figure out what had caused the injury, so I heard it directly from my father two days ago. What kind of activity did His Excellency do?”

I shook my head.

First of all, the case was supposed to be helped by an unknown person, so it was convenient that I didn’t play an active role.

“I didn’t do anything at the time. just… … .”

“it’s okay. Even if you haven’t done anything.”

His two eyes shone brightly.

It was like the look Benjamin used to look at me when he admired me.

It’s really very burdensome.

He is obviously a good person, but I felt that passion and burden weighed down on me.

“I just want you to feel comfortable. You can think of it as a gift given to you thinking about your old relationship.”

First of all, I decided to just take it for free.

I don’t think I’ll get sick from taking it.

“Then I will not decline.”

“haha. Well thought out. I thought I might have missed the early items because I was late for the auction, but I’m glad I was late. Now that I’ve come face to face with His Excellency.”

After that, we watched the auction, talking about everyday things and things we had together in the past.

Should it be natural? Nothing that would interest me was coming out.

‘If it was something I would be interested in, I would have already known the information.’

Still, just in case, I focused on the auction.

Now, if Carlos decides to buy one, I’ll have to pick the right one.

If I had been closer to the podium, I would have been able to check the item description, but that’s a little disappointing.

It was when he was handing over the auction items one after another.

“This item is an artifact retrieved from the depths of the seabed. Although it is a relic, its artistry and aesthetic sense are so outstanding that it eventually came to this place. I am introducing. This is the ‘Ruler of the Sea’ crown found on the sea floor!”

The item on the podium was a black crown-shaped item of unknown material.

I didn’t think much of it when I saw the image and heard the explanation, but soon the message that appeared in front of my eyes surprised me.

[‘Pure original sin’ feels the power of ‘charitable greed’.]

‘Greed!’

The fragments of greed obtained from Lanox were now stored in the bag.

But looking at that crown, I could tell where the blood-colored jewel was.

‘It was a set with that crown.’

Looking at the external appearance of the crown, there were parts that seemed to have had jewels embedded in them, but it seemed that a total of 5 jewels were needed.

“The starting price of the auction is 100 million Will! The asking price is 10 million Will.”

crazy.

I can’t even open my mouth at the terrifying auction starting price.

No matter how much Carlos said he would buy it for me, 100 million was not the name of the dog, so I couldn’t ask him to buy it.

But surprisingly, Carlos looked at me and spoke first.

“Is that what you want?”

“ah. That’s not it. older brother.”

how did you notice Did you get that tea?

He smiled and pressed bid on the tablet.

“dismissal. have you forgotten who i am? This is Alven. Even in terms of money alone, that Alven is equivalent to the top 5 of the Empire.”

He immediately looked up at the podium and his eyes lit up.

“I’ll show you what Alven’s money sucker is today.”

No, you don’t have to do that… … .

‘Yes. I have enough.’

It was a sin, not anything else, but I was grateful if it could be solved with money.

Of course, the page of greed won’t be complete with that one crown, but I’ll have to collect the rest of the fragments one day.

‘I’m going to investigate the whereabouts of the scattered fragments while I’m here.’

Since the shape of the fragment is a jewel, it seemed like it would be easier to get information than I thought.

It’s not an ordinary jewel as it’s imbued with the power of greed.

“250 million! 250 million Will is out! Are there more?”

While I was thinking about it, the price skyrocketed exponentially.

As much as the crown was imbued with the power of greed, it seemed to arouse people’s greed.

At that time, Carlos calmly typed on the tablet.

“omg!”

Suddenly, a startled breath came out of the presenter’s mouth and he swallowed and said.

“500 million Will! 500 million will came out.”

Carlos, who called twice at once, gradually began to get scared.

Even after calling 500 million won, Carlos was checking the trends around him with calm eyes.

“510 million came out!”

“Tsk.”

Carlos clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it, then typed on the tablet again with an unusually bleak expression.

“600 million Will! 600 million! 600 million!”

They said they would show money, but they were really showing money.

Even though it wasn’t my money, I felt like I was getting excited.

At that moment, a man more insane than Carlos appeared.

“10 billion!”

I looked around the same invisible floor to find someone who had unknowingly entered 1 billion, and Carlos was smiling terribly.

“It’s fun. dare… … .”

It’s the first time I’ve seen Carlos look like that.

I’ve always seen him being easy-going and going out of his way to help others, but it seems he had his own pride as an Alven.

If it was the same as before, I would have stopped the bid, but I couldn’t stop it.

If you can steal the items related to the end of the world first, is 1 billion a big deal?

Even if it’s 10 billion, I’ll bring it to you if you have the money.

‘By the way, I’m curious about the guy who called for 1 billion. is it a gathering? Or the Emperor’s side? No, I don’t know who the greed went to in the first place.’

Maybe it’s just that rich people are possessed by greed.

I wanted to find out who made the bid, but I couldn’t find out because all the VIP seats on the second floor were in rooms.

“1.5 Billion Will!”

When the opponent raised 400 million, I could see Carlos’ cute appearance, who raised 500 million.

Although the amount was not cute at all.

However, the amount did not stop there and soared to the ceiling.

“It’s 5 billion Will. 5 billion will!”

Now that the numbers are so big, the sense of reality is gone.

Even 1.2 billion felt like nothing.

“Hmm.”

No matter how much it was Carlos, this amount of money was unexpected, so he frowned.

It was not something he needed, and at best it was too expensive for a gift, or it was already beyond the expensive category.

At this point, when I wondered if I should pretend to stop, Carlos smiled at me.

“As expected, it is difficult for me to put up with my personality. I’m sorry for making you anxious until now.”

“yes?”

When I wondered what he was talking about, Carlos entered the bid amount again.

As I watched from the side, I felt cold sweat running down my back.

’10 billion… … .’

And at the same time, the host shouted.

“10 billion! 10 billion Will—!”

I could see the audience on the first floor buzzing with the presenter’s fuss.

Some of them were the highest bids out today, but the jump from 5 billion to 10 billion at once seemed to drive them into excitement.

I still don’t get it.

Why do you suddenly double the amount after doing well?

Carlos, noticing my gaze, looked down at the crowd on the first floor with a smile on his face and said.

“Do not worry. Well, I think my father will nag me a little bit, but I can get over it by telling him that I gave a present to His Excellency.”

“10 billion?”

“yes? iced coffee. it’s okay. With about 10 billion, we will be able to recover in a few months.”

After all, the real nobility had a different concept of economy.

No matter how much magic has made it more developed than the ordinary Middle Ages, the world is the same as the rich and the poor.

In particular, it seems that nobles who are known for their riches, such as the Alvn family, do not care about 10 billion.

‘Heaven Academy’s Alven Street also invested tens of billions of dollars on the condition that it be named.’

I do not know.

Since it was a fragment of greed, it was a gift that could not be refused.

“Yeah. I’ve spent my money well. Is your appointment in the evening a meal appointment?”

“no. It is later at night.”

“Good for you. Shall we eat?”

It seemed so normal that I wondered if it was the person who had just spent 10 billion won, but now it was difficult to tell whether it was actually okay or if it was just pretending.

‘If you look at your breathing or the size of your pupils, you’re really okay… … .’

Until now, it was difficult to understand the creature called the nobility.

* * *

“Today was pretty fun after a long time.”

“Next time, I will visit the Alven family myself, brother.”

“no. I’m not stuck at home anyway, so there’s no need for that. My father is in the Mage Tower, and Diene is also in the academy, so even if you come, no one will see you anyway.”

After the meal, Carlos waved goodbye.

After all, it was strange to see him not buying anything of his own even at the auction.

The crown he bought me had been received straight from the auction house and had been put in my expansion bag.

‘I really don’t know.’

It seems that I peeked at some unexpected aspects.

In the first place, he was not a living person in the game, so meeting him in person like this was both surprising and strange.

‘In the end, thanks to saving Carlos, I guess I got a fragment of greed.’

In the case of Benjamin, he suffered misfortune due to the butterfly effect caused by me, but it was amazing that such a good influence could also occur.

In the future, I need to save the people who can be saved as much as possible.

You don’t know when and where it will help again.

‘Should I start soon?’

I rented an inn for a while.

There, he changed his clothes, wrapped Galaksur in cloth, and even put on a mask.

If you decide to go to the dark, you should thoroughly hide your identity.

I headed to the tavern that led to the world behind Muriel.

First of all, it was possible to go to the ‘reality district’ where the auction house was located in the shadows only through this bar.

Since it was a place I had visited frequently even in the game in the first place, even if there was no letter from Morne, I knew all the methods of contact.

The entertainment district was not of high quality, as its name suggests, but in the game, out of the 10 visits, 8 or 9 of them seem to have been involved in incidents.

‘There’s a high chance of getting caught up in something pointless, but that doesn’t mean I can’t ignore what Morne says.’

And it is information about dragon rare.

It’s too precious to give up.

The pub was noisy.

Countless people were chatting and emptying their drinks, but in a remote corner, I saw a drunkard lying on his face as if he were dead.

I approached his table and quietly handed him a gold coin.

Then the drunkard grabbed it as if he had been drunk, got up from his seat, and started heading somewhere.

‘It’s fortunate that nothing has changed.’

I was relieved at the game-like progress.

Of course, even if it had changed, Morne would have informed me in a letter, but it is still best to be familiar with it.

Following him, we entered the back door leading to the tavern’s kitchen.

Therefore, upon entering, a sharp anticipation was felt from above.

“Bloody Dan?”

I heard someone’s voice.

It must have been mistaken for a mask.

‘As expected, they recognize the mask right away because they are shadowy guys.’

It didn’t matter though.

I wrote it to hide my identity in the first place.

I just stood there with no answer.

Then someone slid down from the ceiling and checked me around.

“Hehe. Now that I see you, you’re the one who killed Dan. I’ve always been curious He’s dead, but his mask is gone.”

No matter what the other person said, I didn’t react at all, and as soon as I stood there, the guy with a clenched tongue gestured to me.

I paid the admission fee straight away at the beckoning.

“Be careful. There are quite a few guys in here who are aiming for that mask.”

After he moved away, I continued walking toward one side of the wall in the tavern’s kitchen.

As soon as I collided with the wall, the wall passed through my body like a lie.

puck!

“Cheak!”

As soon as I passed through the wall, the scenery I saw was a dirty gray street and a man falling down with a sword.

And even though countless people passed by, no one cared about who fell.

‘This is Muriel’s entertainment district.’

A dangerous area involving all sorts of crimes and illegalities that cannot be seen in the sun.

And it was a place with the real goal of the day.
