Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 107. Hegel, who cut off communication

with the Oak Road, took a cigarette out of his pocket and started smoking it.

Soon, a thick layer of tobacco smoke enveloped him.

The conversation with Adrias was meaningful.

“Rejection… … .”

Well, those with the title of Count of the Empire wouldn’t be able to step into the meeting easily.

It was understandable, but I felt a little bit offended.

“Should I touch Karon?”

I could clearly see that Jester was going to give a damn, but it didn’t matter.

In the first place, Hegel’s skills were superior to Jester’s.

If you have a complaint, even if you ask me to come and ask for it, you won’t be able to say anything.

Adrias seemed quite talented, so I didn’t want to mess with him anymore.

If you couldn’t kill the buds by stepping on them, as is the case with this floor, you had to be friendly with them.

You never know when your opponent will be helpful or a threat.

‘Adrias Cromwell is only in his early twenties. He killed Kyler alone at that age, so there is a high probability that he has superior talent and skills than expected.’

Having a good relationship with someone like that is beneficial in many ways.

But that doesn’t mean I won’t let it go as it pleases.

Sequencing should be done right away.

“Looks like I’ve been trying to keep in touch here and there for the first time in a while.”

Welcome to the first morning in Grandis Kingdom.

Since I was planning to leave for the border area of the Great Forest immediately, I settled for a simple breakfast at the inn.

While dipping hard bread into the thin soup and eating it, I saw Luna coming down the stairs.

“good morning.”

Luna, who greeted her brightly, was still mysterious.

His unrealistic appearance makes me wonder how a person could be born that way.

I had told Luna in advance that I was going to enter the great grove.

Sitting across from me, she dipped her portion of bread into the soup and ate it.

“Umm, it’s a bit bland.”

She immediately picked up the soup and bread and headed to the desk.

“Singy! Are you going to do business this way?”

“Sorry. I will be back soon.”

She was so famous that no one knew her, so the innkeeper hurriedly packed soup and bread and went into the kitchen.

I don’t know how you can hide in a place with such a personality.

‘If you think about it, Luna is also a character who dies often.’

Players rarely die.

In general, the biggest cause of death by other characters was Seongguk.

‘I’m impatient because I can’t eat each other with Seongguk.’

Among many, many black magicians, it was an exceptionally friendly relationship.

The relationship has been traced back to her mother, Eve Millennium.

It’s a bad relationship that has been passed on from the previous generation, so I can’t easily break it, and it’s not like I’m going to die unconditionally in the first place, so there’s nothing I can do right now.

After receiving the bread and soup again, she put the bowl down in front of me as well.

“I brought yours too.”

“thank you.”

“You are my friend. What are you thankful for hehe.”

I see her again for her unexpected consideration.

If you look at it like this, the title of a madman’s old man doesn’t suit him, but he didn’t know what a human life was like.

“By the way, friend, what did you talk about with Hegel yesterday?”

“Weren’t you listening together?”

“Isn’t it?”

Luna put the bread in her mouth and spoke calmly.

The bulging cheeks looked like a squirrel.

“They told me to join the meeting.”

“assembly!”

Luna, who hurriedly passed the bread while squirming, looked at me with bright eyes.

I looked around, worried that I might hear it, but it was early in the morning, so I didn’t see anyone.

“so? are you coming too? I’ve never had a friend my age come to a meeting!”

“no. I refused.”

“why?”

You’re not asking because you really don’t know, are you?

no. If it’s Luna, maybe she’s asking because she really doesn’t know?

“There’s nothing good about getting caught.”

“Um, that’s right. But since I was born, I joined the rally, so I don’t know.”

I casually say something that would feel a little pitiful.

If you get to know this guy, it’s a pretty unfortunate life, so I feel a little pity.

In the first place, she was a case that attracted public attention from birth, so she was wanted even though she did not actually do any evil.

She was an ironic girl who had never caused any harm to people even though she spread all sorts of rumors.

‘Because people are afraid of the unknown.’

The innate ability to see spirits is good enough to stir up fear in humans.

In addition to that ability, her mother is a legendary witch and her appearance is also mysterious, so people were making useless rumors about her.

After eating, I immediately got up from my seat.

There was still a long road to the great forest, and it was unknown how long it would take to finally find the dragon’s tomb.

“This is Luna. Are you going in the direction of the Great Forest?”

As she was about to leave the inn, the innkeeper called Luna.

“Yes why?”

“Ah, I was wondering if you’ve been hearing rumors lately.”

“rumor?”

It’s a rumor in the great forest.

By now, it was probably the time when the Orcs living in the Great Forest were rampant.

“I guess you didn’t hear. It is an Orc Road that appeared for the first time in 40 years. Right now, because of that Oak Road, the area near the Great Forest is in chaos.”

“Orc Road! It’s gonna be fun.”

There was an oak road.

In the game, there was no situation to come here at this point, so I only knew that I was fighting an orc.

‘Things must be a little twisted.’

This was bad news for me, who had to go deep into the great grove.

Orcs were naturally strong enough to be unmatched by ordinary people, but were no match for knights who used mana.

However, even among the Orcs, in the case of the Orc Warriors and Orc Chiefs, they were strong people that even knights could not carelessly deal with.

‘There are also red orcs that live on the desert side. Those guys come to mind because they are at least a lot more difficult than the Orcs living in the Great Forest.’

Anyway, the story of the appearance of the Orc Lord was like the news that the Orcs of the Great Forest were not scattered as a tribal unit, but gathered, so I was worried.

If they met an orc scouting team along the way, it was obvious that they would be surrounded by a large group of orcs.

“The Grandis Kingdom is also recruiting mercenaries on a large scale. I thought Luna-nim came because she was interested in this.”

“Did you give me something good?”

“First of all, there is a bounty of 2 billion Will hanging on the neck of the Oak Lord, and they say that the royal family will give a separate reward. Also, they say there is a separate reward according to major, but it seems to be given according to the number of Orcs you hunted.”

If I was a mercenary instead of an academy student, it wouldn’t be a bad job.

However, most of the playable characters in this time period were solidifying their internal stability, so they seemed to have missed this event.

‘But now, the dragon’s grave is the priority.’

It wasn’t like leveling up just because you were hunting like a game, so it was best to ignore it.

The question is whether I can ignore it if I ignore it.

“friend.”

Ever since I asked him not to call him by his first name, he always calls him a friend, and he seemed to like that title very much.

“yes.”

“You can’t ignore it if you want to go inside the great grove. What are you going to do?”

“You should avoid it as much as possible.”

“Don’t do that, let’s head off the oak road and go!”

hmm? Are you a bit daring?

No matter how great the Orc Lord is, it is not as good as the named character, Luna.

Perhaps, if her necromancy was successful, decapitating the Orc Lord would not be difficult.

Of course, if things were that easy, they wouldn’t struggle in the kingdom.

‘In the end, it’s a war between Orcs and Humans, so I can’t break the head of the Orc Lord as if I went out to drink like that.’

After thinking about it for a while, Luna said.

“What are you so worried about?”

“It’s nice if things go so easily, but you can’t deal only with the Orc Lord.”

“It’s at war anyway, so you can’t go inside the great forest, right? It would be much easier to get in if you follow the Orc Road.”

If you want to win the power of the Orc Road like that, you’d better leave me alone and go alone.

In order to receive the soul imprint, I wanted to match Luna’s mood.

And, as she said, killing the Orc Lord might have been the norm.

‘It’s unexpected, but.’

For now, it seemed that the priority would be to go to the border area of the Great Forest and grasp the situation.

As expected, if it was difficult to enter the Great Forest, it seemed that Luna’s goal would be to decapitate the Orc Lord.

The reason he can think like this is because Luna accompanies him.

‘If it’s Luna Pendragon, I’ll catch the Orc Lord right away.’

After thinking, I said to Luna.

“Let’s go at once. Let’s go check it out.”

* * *

Bayatra Fortress bordering the Great Forest of Bayatra.

It was one of the largest bases in the border area.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

“A number of orcs appear at 1 o’clock.”

The soldiers’ telegram rang out with a huge bell.

However, since it had already become a daily routine, the soldiers and mercenaries preparing for battle did not appear to be nervous.

“Let’s eat, you damn bastards.”

A mercenary grumbled and climbed onto the wall.

As always, I saw the boring green-skinned muscular masses advancing.

“hmm? Hey, isn’t that a bit strange?”

People who thought it was a wheeled provocation as usual soon realized that it was strange.

The spirit of the orcs was exceptionally rough, and their eyes were bloodshot as if they were excited.

“Fuck! It’s a shaman!”

The appearance of the shaman caused a commotion inside the Vayatra Fortress.

It was the moment when the Orc Shaman, who had only appeared near the Fort Endeavor, which was the front line, appeared here for the first time, serving as a strategic rear and manpower distribution center.

“The fact that the shaman came this far means that the front has been pierced?”

“There was no such news. Probably one of the crowd that flowed out.”

I tried to calmly judge it, but I was worried that the front fort was in danger or was breached, and the hundreds of Orc troops were getting closer and closer.

“Wizard! preparation!”

“Open fire!”

From mercenary wizards to grandis royal wizards.

Wizards with various skills were primarily bombarded.

Kwakwang! bang!

Their attacks, which ranged longer than arrows, were crushed over the heads of the orcs.

“The shaman has become clear.”

The soldiers’ expressions hardened as they confirmed that the translucent membrane blocked the magic fired from the fortress.

Soon, while the follow-up magic was cast, a barrage of arrows rained down on the Orcs.

Whoops!

Do-do-do-do-doo-duk!

– Ahaha!

The orcs, whose whole body was covered with hard muscles, advanced toughly, blocking only vital points.

Occasionally, when an arrow got stuck in his body, he just laughed and broke the shaft.

“come!”

“Clean your teeth and stop it!”

Since Shaman had joined the battle, it was clear that a different wave of attacks would unfold.

The fortress’s troops, who had been engaged in a wheeled battle for days without a break, were amazed by the clever strategy of the Orcs.

“It’s a ladder!”

“Take down the ladder!”

Archers and wizards continued to fire projectiles, but the Orcs, who had gone berserk by the Shaman’s magic, did not budge.

The moment when I was preparing for a hand-to-hand combat while exhaling so nervously.

Breaking love!

Something approached at high speed from the rear of the orc troops and at once cut through the orcs and decapitated what appeared to be a shaman.

Awesome!

Tuk Degur.

When the shaman died, the orcs, who had gone berserk in an instant, fell into confusion, unaware of the situation, and the troops on top of the fortress were also embarrassed.

“What the hell is that… … ?”

The man who beheaded an orc shaman.

It was the appearance of Adrias Cromwell.
