Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 100. Reward of the Tower

The first person to survive on the 10th floor, Diene Alven, who came out on the 20th floor for the first time in 42 years. The one who broke the record of Maximin Cronel, who is called Cheon Oecheon. Conquered the Tower of Modras for the first time in the history of the Academy… … .

Adrias Cromwell, who had changed countless records and titles in just a few days, was finally coming out of the Tower of Modras.

“It’s out!”

“Adrias Cromwell! Please tell me how you feel right now!”

“Adrias Cromwell! Why have you been hiding that great skill?”

Numerous flashes came pouring out, and Adrias walked out calmly, looking a little tired. Newspaper employees flocked to him.

“Just say one word!”

“How does it feel to conquer Modras Tower for the first time!”

Pan-!

At that moment, a gust of wind blew and blocked the reporters’ path.

The reporters closed their eyes and stepped back, but when they opened their eyes again, they could see that there was a huge man standing in their way.

A pure white suit and expensive rings on both hands.

The man with his dazzling blonde hair in an all-back shirt looked around at the reporters with a ferocious smile.

“You have to keep the order. You have no manners.”

Minus Morhaime.

He was the head of the Morheim family, which is called the four pillars of the empire, and a man whose skills were never inferior.

Next to him, a woman full of health was staring at Adrias.

“hi?”

Adrias did not reply to Minus’ sister Greta’s greeting, ‘What is this again?’ I looked at her with that expression.

“Are you not going to say hello?”

“Yes, nice to meet you.”

Adrias finally opened her mouth and nodded.

Then, hearing Adrias’ voice for the first time, Greta stroked her chin and looked at her opponent as if she were making a compliment.

“It’s fine.”

At Greta’s words, Minus, who was dealing with reporters, turned and looked at Adrias.

Then, he spat out a word.

“how is it?”

At Minus’ endless questions, Adrias looked at the Morhaime siblings, lost for a moment. Right now, I couldn’t understand the intention of asking what Minus Morhaime was doing in a situation where he was new to him.

“She is my sister. Of course you know who I am, right?”

“Yes, Your Highness Morhaime.”

Adrias nodded at the words of the imposing Minus.

I expected it, but it seemed to be a more tiring situation than I thought, so I was a little fed up.

However, Adrias was in a position to take advantage of the current situation.

“More than that, how about my sister?”

“You are beautiful.”

I don’t know the intention of the question, but it wasn’t empty words.

In reality, Greta was a beauty with a strong body and a pretty cat-like face.

Minus smiled at Adrias’ answer.

“Okay then… … .”

“for a moment!”

A high, thin voice interrupted Minus.

Minus’ brow furrowed at the sudden appearance of an intruder.

However, the person who stopped talking didn’t care at all and left.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Prince Cromwell. My name is Michaela Rodlen.”

It was the appearance of the third princess of Emperor Rodlenn.

But this was not the end.

“I am the 4th Prince, Odell Rodlen! It is an honor to meet Prince Cromwell, who is no different from our country’s treasure!”

It was a counterattack by the princess and the prince, who had guessed Minus’ intentions.

But it wasn’t Minus who would let him go.

“Princess Michaela and Prince Odell. I’ll say it again, but I think it’s polite to keep the order.”

Exceptionally thick veins protruded prominently over his forehead.

Seeing him speak as if he were spitting, Prince Odell swallowed and stepped back, but it wasn’t Michaela.

“It looks like it will be taken away with both eyes open, but I have to do my best. Shouldn’t the man who wins Cromwell’s ball be a man of ability?”

“It is my ability to find out in advance and come quickly. How about taking a step back?”

Reporters started taking pictures in the tense battle as if sparks were flying.

However, whether or not they fight, a lot of people started pouring in from behind.

“Umm, I’m Howard Dane from the Woodward marquess… … .”

“I am Bachtman, a high-ranking wizard from the Moonlight Magic Tower on the horizon!”

“I am… … !”

Due to the people who wanted to come at this time, it was formed due to phosphoric acid.

There were also academy students around, so there was no such thing as a mess.

Adrias was swept away by the waves, thinking things had gotten a little tricky.

The plan he had in mind was to line up several people and raise his ransom as if it were an auction, but it had a bigger impact than expected.

“I know first of all why you are here. I’ll think about it after hearing it all, so please calm down.”

In the midst of a complicated gap, Adrias spoke out as if to settle the situation, and it became a little quiet. Adrias gained momentum and approached Minus Morhaime, who was the first to speak to him.

At first glance, this behavior could have been an act of ignoring the children of the emperor, but it was a natural behavior for Adrias, who had no intention of being close to the imperial family in the first place.

“I am very pleased that Your Highness Morhaime has taken an interest in me. Were you uncomfortable with what I just said?”

“no. Rather good. Do you mean to talk about the main topic instead of wearing a mask for nothing? First of all, the Mohaiim family wants you to be their subordinate. If you come under my command, I will protect you from all enemies, as well as give you part of our territory.”

“There must be a condition instead?”

“I said there is nothing thicker than blood. I must marry my brother.”

Adrias had already guessed to some extent from the fact that Minus had brought Greta, so there was no surprise. However, it seemed that the people around him did not.

“Huh!”

“If the marriage to Greta Morhaime takes place, the Cromwell family will also bloom.”

“No, anyway! Even if you’re demoted to baron, you’re bringing someone who has nothing to say to you, even giving you your own sister?”

Adrias, who once again confirmed that there was a commotion, lowered his head first.

“Thank you for thinking of me that way.”

“okay. It’s an important matter, so I didn’t want an immediate answer. You can listen to other people’s suggestions first and then slowly respond later. But aside from that, let’s have a meal together later.”

“It is an honor, Your Highness.”

Minus was relaxed.

It seemed that he was proud of his proposal, but Adrias had a different mind.

‘It’s a bit burdensome.’

It was a proposal that others would have bowed down and accepted, but Adrias, who had an accident as Kim Jin-hwan, accepted the contract marriage vaguely as if it were a transaction.

He wanted to put the option of marriage on hold right now because his own happiness was important to him.

“Now is it my turn?”

Next was Princess Michaela, who confidently faced Minus.

She had long, wavy, deep purple hair that, at first glance, seemed excessively bouncy.

Looking at the long line of people behind her, Adrias suppressed the desire to rest.

‘Let’s suffer a little more.’

* * *

The Adrias scout incident that happened in front of Modras Tower ended sooner than expected.

It was because Principal Deos and Bahat Alven, who had been watching for a while, dismissed all the important people the moment they thought their business was over.

‘This is the academy.’

‘Scout proposals to current students are prohibited.’

Since the Duke of Morheim, the children of the emperor, and those with high positions had already left, Deos and Bahat’s order to celebrate guests was a bit blatant, but there were no people who could go against it.

Thanks to that, when Adrias left, someone secretly followed him.

‘Don’t miss it.’

She was none other than Vivian Veloccan.

Recently, her anxiety was growing due to the bet between Diene and Adrias, and she had lost control of herself due to the Duke of Morhaime’s remarks earlier.

Thinking that she would lose Adrias if she continued like this, Vivian continued to follow Adrias without knowing where he was going.

The place where Adrias arrived was a private laboratory.

Vivian tilted her head after confirming that he had entered the private laboratory.

‘I just came out of the Tower of Modras.’

Do you study non-stop?

Vivian cautiously approached the lab he had entered.

And the moment you gently put your ear to the door.

rattle.

“hmm?”

The door opened and Vivian, who had been putting her ear to the door, naturally leaned against Adrias.

“Vivian?”

“iced coffee… … .”

Vivian, her face flushed red, hurriedly threw herself back and hesitated.

While thinking about how to explain this situation, Adrias spoke first.

“It’s been a while.”

It was the first time that Adrias and Vivian had met face-to-face since Adrias visited Vivian several times after passing out after the black magic potion incident.

Quite a bit of time has passed since then, so Vivian nodded with a flushed face to Adrias, who said it’s been a while.

“huh. I saw the screen.”

“The Modras Tower?”

“Congratulations on the 30th floor.”

Adrias, who was slightly nervous at seeing Vivian’s flushed face, cleared her throat while quietly examining Vivian’s complexion.

“That Vivian, I found something strange in the tower.”

“A curious thing?”

Adrias pulled something out of his chest.

It was a small earring with a white jewel attached to it.

“earring?”

“Yes, I’ll give you this Vivian.”

At the sudden gift, Vivian shook her head while looking at Adrias with her mouth open.

“Why me? Why… … .”

“Why? Thank you so far, and I’m giving it to you with the meaning of getting along well in the future.”

It was an earring found at the place where Modras’ thought body disappeared.

In fact, he said this, but Adrias saw the effectiveness of the earrings and immediately thought of giving them to Vivian.

[Silver foam]

[Clears the wearer’s mind]

[Increases the wearer’s fatigue recovery effect when taking a break]

It was a pretty good item, but the reason I gave it to Vivian was because of the first effect.

Even if it had changed now, Adrias knew of her unstable future, so he wondered if the first effect of clearing his mind would protect Vivian.

‘There are things I’ve been thankful for so far.’

Even during the black magic potion incident, Chris and Serena would have died if Vivian hadn’t accepted her request and left for the Knights Faculty. Not only that, but considering the amount of help she had received so far, he felt that such a gift was rather lacking.

In the first place, he only aimed for the ‘key of greed’ and conquered it, and there was no great greed for earrings.

Adrias’ gift with such complicated calculations came to Vivian completely unexpectedly.

‘Adrias is a gift to me.’

She received the earring Adrias handed her and stared blankly for a moment, forgetting to speak, then carefully placed it on her earlobe.

“how is it?”

“you are pretty. Vivian is always pretty, so anything you do is okay.”

Could it be because of unexpected gifts and compliments?

Vivian disappeared, hiding her blushing face, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Vivian suddenly run away, Adrias looked at her from behind with a puzzled face.

“what.”

Apparently, it had the effect of clearing the wearer’s mind.

Seeing Vivian running away, Adrias doubted whether the effect was activated properly.

Adrias returned to the lab, still thinking that Vivian’s insides were unknown, and finally confirmed the reward he was expecting in his own space.

[Do you want to check the achievement reward?]

A reward that felt even bigger because it was completely unexpected.

It was like finding an emergency fund I had forgotten about in my pants pocket.

‘It’s a much bigger reward than that though.’

Adrias immediately accepted the achievement reward.

[A random attribute is given.]

[You have acquired the attribute ‘Enhancement (Unique)’.]

“Unique attribute?”
