Episode 25. Attending the meeting
“Huh? hey! Dragan! Long time no see.”
“Salem Yedidiah?”
Salem’s nicknames were numerous.
One of them was Wanderer, a free-spirited person who could not be found by looking for him.
With such a Salem riding in our carriage, even Dragan would have been surprised.
“Honey, am I your friend?”
“sorry. Elder.”
“Why am I an elder? Just call me by adding nim to your name.”
“yes. Mr. Salem.”
I never thought the dragan of the world would shrink like that.
Salem looked at the saggy horses and waved his hand once to arrange the mana.
As soon as the ordering of the spells and the mana arrangement were completed at a tremendous speed, the curse on the horses was not lifted, and they returned to their original state.
“Are you going to the meeting too? ride Be my companion.”
“All right.”
Dragan’s raid ended absurdly absurd.
Maybe Salem knew he was coming for the raid, but he just let it go.
“I never dreamed that Salem would attend the meeting.”
“uh. I’ve already heard about it from Caron. I’m tired, so let’s talk about something else.”
“ah. Hmm Hmm! I recently captured dozens of mermaids and fishmen in the Strait of Teneria. If I have time later, I’d like to take care of a few people as gifts… ….”
“Hey kid. Why are you torturing innocent mermaids?”
“yes? ah! sorry. As soon as the meeting is over, I will release you right away.”
“You dare to release what you caught? Are you stupid?”
I couldn’t see it because I was looking ahead, but the situation inside the carriage was clearly drawn.
Also named character.
It’s not uncommon to be eccentric.
As I listened to the non-comte of the two, I began to see the forest that was caught before I knew it.
“Salem. We will enter the forest soon.”
“okay? Stop for a second.”
For some reason, Charon, unable to disobey Salem’s words, stopped the carriage.
Right in front of us was a dark forest with open mouths, but Salem got off the carriage and began to warm up.
“Now, should I take a bite before entering?”
Sensing something in Salem’s words, Charon stepped down from the driver’s seat and took out his staff.
Dragan’s expression was reluctant, but he had no choice but to get off the carriage.
“ladies and gentlemen! I know you’re all waiting here. Hurry up and get out before you get fucked up.”
As Salem finished speaking, he undid the long piece of cloth he was wearing on his back.
‘A vile evil snake.’
It looked like a cane made of an old tree, but it was characterized by a sharp and thick spearhead attached to the curved end.
Surprisingly, Salem was a dual-core like me.
And it was an acquired dual core, not an innate quality.
Salem, who remodeled his body into a dual core, was a magician and a fighter of great skill.
As he pulled out the vicious snake, he finally began to feel the presence of people around him.
“Wrong! I was just trying to attend the meeting!”
A servile-looking man released the invisibility magic and came out to report voluntarily.
“okay. it should be Come to work.”
Black Mage Theus. This guy wasn’t a boss level, but I definitely remember it.
I’ve messed with it quite a bit by using some crazy magic.
I once broke my keyboard because of that guy.
“Are there any more?”
After saying that, Salem muttered, “I like it,” and slammed the spear into the floor.
“I respect your cowardice for coming out so boldly even though you know who I am. In return, I will take my own life.”
phut!
Mana exploded around Salem as if the air was bursting.
Then, a wave of mana swept through the entire area.
The waves passed by us as well, and when they passed, I felt a strange feeling as if they were being analyzed in detail.
“huh?”
Suddenly, Salem turned to me.
Then he smiled bitterly.
“Funny.”
what? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Did you find out something?
Anyway, Bahat and Salem, please don’t say that it’s fun… ….
Salem immediately turned his head again and spoke softly.
“Margaret Anthony Horolope Mandra Schwartz Megan. You die here.”
It seems that they found out the identities of the black magicians hiding around them with the mana wave.
Margaret and Horolope Schwartz were names I knew, and I hadn’t heard of the rest, but the important thing now was to really kill them.
‘They’re not the ones who will die here.’
The future is wrong because of me.
Of course, black magicians benefit from killing them.
In the first place, because of them, there is a great crisis on this continent.
The problem is that I can’t use the future information I know.
‘It can’t be helped.’
After all, the future was destined to change from the moment I became Adrias.
If the future changes, you have no choice but to do your best every moment.
Chow!
A green liquid and an ominous orb flew from somewhere.
But Salem unleashed those attacks with a single gesture and swung his spear.
pop!
Just a simple discharge of mana, without any technique, mana arrangement, or spells.
But its power was overwhelming.
Kwajijik!
Bubbubuck!
I made a hole in the forest on the other side facing the captured forest.
As if a round rock had passed through, the front was hollowed out, but the floor was sizzling with high pressure and heat.
“bye. Anthony.”
Salem murmured, and the bushes in the other direction flinched.
“Save me!”
Someone rushed out of there and said, but Salem shook his head.
“late.”
pop!
It was a simple spear move, but the opponent who jumped out just exploded and disappeared.
It was impressive to see that even traces disappeared and evaporated as if they were not there in the first place.
“Even if you are blinded by the Codex, you are still blind. No matter how greedy you are, you dare to ignore my favor. That alone is enough reason for you to die.”
It’s not that he’s targeting and killing the page of sloth, but that he’s killing him because he seems to be ignoring him.
The thoughts of the ttorai were also unpredictable.
Even after that, Salem killed all the people he called with a simple release of magic power and stretched out.
As many as six warlocks disappeared in an instant.
They were also real talents, not the idiots I dealt with the other day.
If the Empire knew about it, they would be happy.
“After all, exercise is the best thing when you wake up. Good good.”
I don’t know what the world will be like if this kind of psychopath is one of the strongest on the continent.
Fortunately, though, Salem is not an indiscriminate murderer.
If such an indiscriminate massacre had been carried out in the first place, the powerful people of each country would have joined forces to subdue it.
Of course, there is still a bounty on it, but that’s a separate story.
“Now, let’s start quickly. I want to see ‘Sloth’ soon.”
The most famous of Salem’s nicknames was that of a demon seeking the truth.
He was originally an ordinary wizard, but his curiosity was so great that he started to practice black magic.
Literally, in order to pursue the truth, he was a learning addict who learned, read, and learned at random.
That’s why he must have come running for the lazy page.
We got back into the wagon and at last entered the captured forest.
* * *
“Not funny. another story.”
“Hey Salem. I’m slowly running out of mana… ….”
Salem looked at Theus with a servile smile, hehehe, as if he was pitiful.
“I tried to save him, but it’s useless. Should I just kill him?”
“Oh no! Salem! I can still say more!”
“It is a joke. You smell it, shut your mouth.”
“Suck!”
As Theus escaped Salem’s attention, this time Dragan strained his gaze with a tense expression.
Seeing that, Salem laughed incredulously and opened the window connected to the driver’s seat.
“Hey Adrias.”
“yes.”
Adrias turned his head and replied calmly.
Salem felt quite proud of how the guy, who must have seen his skills a moment ago, was not discouraged and treated him.
“How old are you now?”
“Twenty one.”
“okay? Hmm.”
A mana scan from a while ago noticed that Adrias had the same physical characteristics as herself.
It hasn’t bloomed yet, but he clearly had another mana reservoir.
Salem thought for a moment before opening his mouth again.
“Don’t you think it’s a little late?”
“What do you mean?”
“The one you have on your side.”
Adrias’ gaze turned to the sword at his waist.
And he, who had not raised his lowered gaze for a moment, scratched his head and said.
“This is just for self-defense. It’s not like I’m learning swordsmanship or something… ….”
“I hate people who ignore me. And I hate those who tell lies.”
“sorry. To tell you the truth, I intend to do everything I can.”
“okay? Even if it’s already late?”
“That’s right. My goal is to live to the fullest… ….”
Salem looked at Adrias’ face for a while and laughed heartily.
“Hahahaha! okay. I liked your guy. hmm. I usually don’t like anyone, but Cromwell has a sense of kinship, so I’ll help you with one thing.”
“Any help?”
“okay. I don’t know when it will be, but I’ll help you once with my name.”
“thank you.”
Adrias simply bowed his head in a calm expression of gratitude.
The more Salem saw Adrias, the more he liked it.
You will know who you are, and you will have seen the one-sided violence a little while ago.
How can you be so calm when you say I’m helping you?
If it were normal guys, it would probably have been a surprise.
Are you really a kid who is only twenty-one?
“I see a nest.”
I heard Charon’s words and soon saw a huge spherical nest floating in the air in the distance.
It is a nest that would normally have been hidden as a barrier, but opened to suit the gathering.
His appearance showed confidence in his abilities.
“It will be fun after a long time.”
Salem’s smile only grew wider.
* * *
“I wondered why it was so noisy outside the forest….”
After coming out of the nest, Morchet’s gaze turned to Salem.
“It was because of you.”
“Hey Morshe. long time no see. Did you miss it?”
“How did you come to know if you were not a member of the assembly?”
“Hey, leave that bleak sound behind. Now, let’s enjoy our long-awaited meeting.”
Morche had a unique appearance befitting the nickname of the Witch of the Nest.
Branches were growing all over the body as if it were a tree, and the hair that grew long was woven with tree branches to make it look like a bird’s nest.
‘Wouldn’t that be inconvenient?’
Well, since Morche is also a name, it’s probably not normal.
We stepped on the roof of the wagon and climbed up to Morche’s lair, and soon entered the lair.
Inside was like a relatively normal family home.
It’s quite different from the image of a witch.
“Salem. I didn’t know you were coming.”
There were already three passengers inside, but all of them were eminent black magicians worthy of one name.
Of course, compared to Salem’s name value, it’s a bit inferior.
But that’s just because Salem has such an overwhelming reputation. In the game, monsters of the same level as mid-bosses in the later chapters were the ones who gathered right here.
“….”
“and! Is that Salem?”
The first person to talk to Salem was Jester Levan, the organizer of the meeting, and the one who sat silently.
Surprisingly, Morne, the godfather of the necromancer, was not there.
I thought I was going to attend because it was related to my disciple Charon.
“It’s been a while, everyone. It’s the first time I see you. Are you new?”
“I am Luna! It’s just Luna! Nice to meet you devil!”
I’m out of my mind
However, the number of people seems to be less than expected.
Could this be all?
“Because the rally was held in a hurry, this is the only number of people. Let the meeting begin now.”
Just then, Jester answered my questions and announced the start of the meeting.
“First of all, let’s check the sloth page. Take it out and see it.”
Jester conducted the meeting and Charon winked at me.
I carefully summoned Nickel, thinking about the plan I had made a few days ago.
less so
The summoned Nickel held Christopher’s sword in one hand and the page of sloth in the other.
And with his summons, an unexpected message appeared before his eyes.
