Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 960
: Mohang Festival.
This festival with a somewhat unusual name is a sacred ceremony held on Sky Island around this time every year.
As always, it is a festival based on the scriptures, and the life story of the characters from the scriptures traveling up the river and preaching the gospel to people is reenacted as a ritual.
And the main characters of this homecoming festival are Afnel’s 10 selected students who have just entered Sky Castle.
‘I feel like I’ve become an actor in some kind of theater.’
Simon was wearing a long piece of cloth wrapped around his body. He wore a red badge around his shoulders and neck, and a wreath on his head.
It’s a classic old outfit. I heard that they recreated the clothes of the missionary Samuel from the past, and since all the recruits were wearing this, it felt like they had time traveled hundreds of years ago.
“Ah, Euclid!”
Number 9 Lisara walked out of the locker room. Her lemon-colored hair and the wreath on her head went very well with it. It feels like a fairy. She came in front of Simon and smiled, fiddling with the wreath.
“Is something awkward?”
“No, it suits you well.”
Simon said with sincerity. At those words, Lisa’s ears turned red, and two female students passing by heard the conversation and were surprised and started whispering.
“Oh my, it’s Euclid!”
“You skipped a few steps.”
“?”
Simon tilted his head, and Lisara, whose face became even redder, quickly lowered her head.
“Then, let’s cheer up the festival together today!”
Then he quickly ran away.
Simon is blinking without understanding what is happening.
“young.”
Suddenly, I feel a hand wrapping around my shoulder from next to me.
“You pretended to be neat and tidy on the outside, but you had everything behind your back, right? “I knew that would happen.”
Simon sighed and turned his head. Sway, who was one head taller than him, was smiling, showing his teeth.
“You are of the same type as me. “I felt it right from the moment I first saw it.”
Why do I meet so many people these days who claim to be of the same species?
Simon said, pushing him away with his shoulder.
“This is High Sky Island. “I hope that the Great Mother will refrain from using vulgar expressions due to her insight.”
“Mr.
Sway was disgusted as if he had heard something disgusting.
“I don’t know about other people, but when you say that, it doesn’t suit me.”
That was correct.
Because he’s a necromancer.
“Anyway, since you’re from outside, you don’t seem to know much about this culture. Can you give me some advice?”
Sway wrapped his arms around Simon’s neck again.
“The priestesses who came from middle school are called by different titles depending on how familiar they are. To use you as an example, Priest Euclid, Brother Euclid, Euclid, and finally Euclid. “The further back we go, the closer we become.”
“ah.”
“In other words, Number 9 openly called you ‘Mr. Euclid’ in front of others.”
Sway’s eyebrows twitched up and down.
“You are mine. “It’s an announcement.”
“…Thank you for the great information.”
“Small details like these are important. I always call women by their first names, whether I am meeting them for the first time or meeting them in person. Then everyone was blown away.”
He licked his lips with his tongue and giggled.
“Do you think you’re treating me special? “This illusion is very useful to exploit.”
‘I wish I were dead.’
There are people who are constitutionally fit to die.
For Simon, Sway was like that.
No matter how much I think about it, I’ve never done anything to make him like me, so why do I act like I’m so friendly with him?
“Sway!”
At that time, I heard one of the selected female students calling Sway.
Sway gave her a wink and then turned to Simon.
“Then let’s go first. By the way, after the festival today, I’m going to have a nice drink at Afnel with the girls, so if you’re interested, come.”
Simon said, putting his hands together reverently.
“Thank you for the offer, but since the goddess said to despise desire and build a tower of faithfulness, I will politely decline. “Priest Sway.”
“I said it doesn’t suit me.”
Sway reacted with disgust and left.
Soon, the sound of a conversation between the selected female student and Sway could be heard, albeit softly.
-Ah, Mr. Sway! What did you talk about with Priest Euclid? He seemed a bit reluctant.
-What do you not know! Euclid, that bastard is so funny. Let’s talk together later.
In fact, it was a good situation that Sway, who was the power of the selectors, looked upon him favorably and was influential, but from Simon’s point of view, he still did not want to become close to him.
It was never because I was trying to put work on Lete.
“Rous! Brothers and sisters!”
The door burst open and Lirinet, a third-year member of the Epnel student council, appeared.
“Everyone, this ‘Homecoming Festival’! “Are you ready to have fun?”
“yes!”
The selected students all stood up from their seats and answered energetically.
“And Brother Sway?”
Lirinet, who was looking through the selected students, pointed out Sway.
Then he made a motion to straighten his clothes.
“I know you’re in good shape, so please close your clothes.”
Sway clicked his tongue and said something while adjusting his clothes.
“Isn’t it a kind of sin to damage the welfare of Sky Island residents like this?”
Is he really crazy?
Simon looked at Sway with that thought in mind, and Lirinet naturally responded.
“My beauty alone is enough for that welfare. “Everyone let’s go!”
***
After coming out of the locker room, Simon and the recruits headed towards the first starting point of the Sky Island Waterway.
In front of the waterway, a high platform covered with fur was prepared, and on the streets, countless welcoming crowds from Sky Island were waiting for the festival.
“Faithful believers of the Holy Federation! “You’ve waited a long time.”
The priest standing on the podium shouted loudly.
“On the day of the festival, the goddess blessed us with clear and sunny weather! Now, let me introduce you. “These are the 10 selected students who will lead Afnel in the future!”
Wow!
The 10 selected students, including Simon, walked up to the podium, receiving loud cheers and applause. Simon looked around and was a little dumbfounded.
‘This was a really big festival.’
Epnel’s worship service is connected to various events and rituals on Sky Island, and the Mohang Festival is the most representative of them.
It is said that the Mohang festival has continued uninterrupted for the past several hundred years.
Lirinet spoke urgently.
“Everyone smile! smile! Just do what you prepare!”
Although they might have felt intimidated by the attention of so many spectators, all of the selected candidates smiled brightly and waved their hands at the audience.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Sway excitedly unfastened the front of his clothes and came forward, raising his arms. The audience burst into boisterous laughter. In the distance, Lirinet’s sighs were deepening again.
“The Great Goddess said to the missionaries, ‘Through my will, I will spread the teachings in the world and awaken the poor. This is a command of light. The missionaries took a boat and went out to sea…”
While the elderly priest was reading a passage from the scriptures, a commotion was heard behind him.
‘Meryl!’
Meryl, the representative of the selected students, was approaching this way holding a large flag.
Unlike the other selectees, Meryl wore a cape around her shoulders and a more luxurious flower crown. The flag had a dazzling nova, and white smoke was constantly rising into the sky.
‘wait for a sec.’
Simone’s eyes scanned Meryl’s flag.
‘I feel like I’ve seen that flag somewhere… Ah!’
It was the ‘Filya’s Flag’, an artifact used by Simon’s Death Knight during his lifetime. The people’s saint, who has now become a legend, is so famous that it appears to have been recreated.
Soon, Meryl came over and planted a flag on the altar of the podium, then knelt on the floor and clasped her hands together to pray, and white flames erupted from the altar.
“The symbol of the people and the symbol of heaven meet and cause a miracle! “Great Mother has permitted sacred missionary work today as well!”
The priest on the podium spread his arms.
“Prophets! “Follow the will of light and set sail!”
The selected students, including Simon, came down from the podium one by one and boarded a ferry boat floating in the canal.
Soon everyone stepped aside, and No. 1 Merrill, who had been appointed captain of the fleet, got on board and came to the front.
“Set sail!”
Simon was inwardly relieved. It bothered me that Meryl looked so despondent after losing in the new math class, but she seems to have regained her confidence through this festival.
The sight of Meryl waving her arms showed a feeling of happiness that could not be hidden.
-I’m so happy! I will never miss the starting number one spot!
At the same time, I also feel such a determined attitude.
As the festival fever grows more and more intense.
“….”
There was a gaze watching from the top of the large tower.
“That’s my friend.”
His identity was the general affairs bishop of the Holy Federation, the person in charge of this Euclid incident.
She stared at Simon from the top of the tower and then looked back.
“The saint did an amazing job of disguising the investigator she hired through a private route as the dead Euclid.”
Jump and jump.
As soon as those words were finished, Lethe was coming up to where the bishop was, with her hands in her pockets.
She snorted.
“Do you have any complaints? “They said they wouldn’t spare any support.”
“There can be no complaints.”
The bishop continued speaking in a calm voice.
“I also hope more than anyone else that this case will be resolved. I will turn a blind eye to even greater misdeeds as long as I can find and catch the murderer. but.”
Her eyes rolled to the side.
“I have a small concern that you may have other thoughts other than solving the case.”
Lethe laughed.
“Oh, concerns? “Are you concerned that the saint who received the revelation might be found here first?”
“I think Saint Lethe needs to learn how to speak softly.”
“Even if I say it in a nice way, you can’t really understand it, so I guess I’m doing this to beat it into your ears.”
Starlight flashed in Lethe’s eyes as she spat out a curse with a smiling face.
“I’m more concerned about the actions of you people who go to such lengths to cover up this crazy situation. “Is it possible that they are doing this because the murderer is connected to you guys?”
“You are talking too much.”
Without even blinking, the bishop stretched out his arm and pointed out the window.
“Take a look.”
Waaaaaaaa-!
Now the ‘voyage’ begins.
The trainees on a ferry are rowing along a waterway where flower petals are floating. Everyone is thrilled, praying, laughing, and clapping their hands.
“What matters is not the truth. The belief that this happiness will continue in the future. Everyone, both residents and selected students, are happy and happy. “Then wouldn’t that be enough?”
“My head hurts listening to your bullshit philosophy.”
Lethe turned and walked away.
“No matter how well a lie is packaged, it is still just a lie.”
***
It was a completely different experience for Simon.
A beautiful waterway on Sky Island with clean water flowing and flower petals floating on it.
There, while rowing on a small ferry, you look up and see flower petals and paper fireworks falling under the sky filled with clouds. The left and right sides of the waterway are filled with people cheering.
“Welcome student! “If you have a hard time studying, come to my house anytime!”
“I hope that you will train hard and become a true missionary who will lead the Federation!”
The residents of Sky Island warmly welcomed the prospective students, floating flower petals on the water’s edge of the waterway and putting carefully prepared bouquets on the boat. The selected candidates looked filled with emotion. Some even had tears in their eyes.
Simon also waved to the residents and observed his fellow classmates.
Each selected student had a different way of enjoying the festival.
“sister! “I will become a priest like you!”
“huh!”
Number 9: While riding a boat called Lisa, she communicated with the children and patted their heads.
“Jabil’s pub when the dinner bell strikes three times tonight. “You know what I mean?”
Even during festivals, Sway would risk his work whenever he saw a woman.
and.
“I! “I will arrive in first place!”
Meryl was the first to move forward, rowing furiously.
This was not a competition, but a kind of parade on the waterway, and it was perceived as a race.
‘Shouldn’t Meryl have come to Keygen instead of Afnel? I think she’ll adapt very well.’
At that time, Simon was laughing while thinking about such trivial things.
“…….”
There was a selector rowing behind him, his eyes shining keenly.
An incident was about to happen.
