Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 498
“Is Eprun also an ‘accomplice’?”
At the explicit expression of Kazan’s accomplice the lord waved his hand in horror.
“That can’t be! You’re talking too much!”
“The unidentified organization holding Tarados and Keygen. It seems like they are in a tug-of-war.”
Kazan quickly stood up.
“Since we came change has begun. We will have to hold the line well. The first is the treatment of prisoners and kidnapped people. Please judge wisely.”
Kazan left without saying that. Simon followed suit.
“It was great when you pushed the lord Kazan!”
Simon said as he walked out the door and down the hallway. Kazan scratched the scar with an expressionless face.
“For the prisoners to be properly transported and for the safety of the abducted people this level of pressure was unavoidable. Since they have a history of blocking information they will block the information that we the keygens have arrived.”
[for a moment! for a moment! for a moment!]
Then a sound came from the necklace hanging around Simon’s neck.
[Aren’t you all misunderstanding the priorities? You shouldn’t have to find my body right away!]
“Don’t be in too much of a hurry Carl. I’ll just gather information and leave.”
Kazan also nodded.
“I will personally interrogate the thieves in the prison to get information.”
“Yes please.”
* * *
A large mountain range stood in the way between Tarados the destination and the territory of Eprun.
Of course the mountain was full of monsters and it was inevitable to have difficulty moving manpower and supplies. The reason Tarados was closed was also a topographical reason.
And a cave located in the valley of the mountain range.
When Tarados was prosperous there was a secret tunnel to transport minerals to the outside of the territory. Of course not many people know this place now and it has become a den of thieves.
Thieves named ‘Ganeth Guild’ dominate Tarados. And late in the morning two thieves arrived in front of the cave.
“Password!”
“pine cone!”
The two thieves safely entered the cave.
It was a very large cave. The thieves sat in their seats drinking or sleeping against the wall.
The two of them walked another 10 minutes until they came to the captain guarding the cave. He was chewing on dried jerky.
“What why are you two alone?”
the thief asked.
“Where are the other guys? The test subjects and weapons procured from outside?”
“Ah that that…!”
One thief sweating profusely looked at the thief next to him. The rogue with a shaggy beard opened his mouth.
“Sorry it’s all stolen.”
bang!
The thief leader slammed the wooden box with his fist and stood up.
“Have you been robbed?”
“okay.”
“To whom?”
“Another band of bandits. They attacked us because we were disguised as the guild.”
The thief captain pulled his head out and looked into the bearded man’s eyes.
“We are the Ganeth Guild. Are there guys who fight after knowing that Tarados and this area are tight?”
“They must have just been here. Even if we revealed our names it was a judge’s decision.”
“….”
The bandit captain turned his back and walked away. Then he picked up the beer he was drinking and started drinking.
“Big.”
He roughly wiped the corners of his mouth and said.
“Tie them up.”
“!”
“Looking at him talking he’s hiding something. If you hang him upside down and give him some water he’ll think about talking.”
“yes!”
The bandits surrounded them and approached.
“I I what are we going to do now!”
The thief who came with him shouted with a pale face. The bearded rogue smiled crossed his legs crossed his arms and raised his index finger to his lips.
“I’m on the side of tying rather than being tied up~”
At those words the thief captain frowned.
“What…”
Charleureuk!
Chow!
The bodies of the approaching thieves were entangled in spider webs that came down from the ceiling and soared into the air.
“Aww!”
“Eh what is this?”
The thieves that instantly turned into chrysalises and dangled dangling from them and the spiders on the ceiling were dripping poison from their mouths.
“Uh at what point!”
The bearded man’s body which was in a bewitching pose swayed and soon the whole body was peeled off like a thread and changed into a skinny woman inside it.
she said licking her lips with her tongue.
[You don’t have to talk long right? This cave is ours now.]
Whoops!
This time a wall on one side of the cave collapsed and a boy with faded hair pale gray skin and noble clothes jumped out. In one hand he was holding a crown.
[bothered! Can’t we turn all of these into zombies?]
A thief rushed at him fearlessly but the wind pressure of the boy’s punches sent him flying several tens of meters away.
The expressions on everyone’s faces froze.
[Khehehe! If you’re going to make one wouldn’t a skeleton be better!]
their heads turned A tall skeleton was walking with its cape waving.
[Good night!]
The white greatsword held by the skeleton moved.

a few hours later
In the quiet dawn forest the sound of wagon wheels rolling is heard.
In the front a terrified coachman was driving the carriage looking around the extension while Simon and Kazan sat comfortably in the back seat.
“Ki Kizen students. Are you really going this route?”
“yes.”
Simon chuckled.
“Please take care of me.”
“Kuh kuhup!”
Tears welled up in the terrified coachman’s eyes.
I never imagined it would turn out like this. Just yesterday I thought the boys’ insistence on taking them to Tarados would end in a simple incident but Simon and Kazan arrived at the coachman’s house.
And in front of the coachman who said that life is more precious even if you give 10000 to 10000 gold the two boys brought Kizen’s 2nd year student ID.
-If I can’t ask you I have no choice but to give you an order.
Just like that the coachman was on his way to a cave tunnel infested with thieves carrying two fearless Kizen boys.
“I’m not saying this because I don’t trust you two! There may be hundreds or thousands of thieves out there! They’re the ones who’ll wipe out any territory! If you’re going to go to Tarados I’d rather go to the mountains…”
But Simon and Kazan were not listening. Simon was working on summoning studies assignments that were overdue even in this situation and Kazan was collecting data from the thieves’ guild.
‘Ha homework when life comes and goes! This is why noble students!’
The coachman was the only one who burned his stomach.
That’s how we arrived at the front of the cave tunnel guarded by bandits. Fortunately there was no guard at the entrance.
“Are you really going in?”
“yes.”
said Simon scribbling with his quill.
“I heard a piece of information but it was said that bandits went somewhere today as a group and were away.”
‘Nonsense!’
was the coachman who timidly protested in his heart.
“Don’t worry too much. We’ll protect you no matter what. Ah Kazan! As for question 11 here do the Cryptguards have a tendency to guard your tomb?”
“According to the guild’s information the Cryptguard was named so because grave diggers were interrupted during their work. It does not have the nature of guarding the tomb. The correct answer must be number 4.”
“It’s not about looking wrong it’s about finding the right answer.”
the world is peaceful
With tears in his eyes the coachman drove the wagon towards the mouth of hell guarded by thieves.
‘A lot of life goes like this. Mother I will follow you soon.’
So they went into the cave.
‘???’
I got out of the other side of the cave without encountering a single enemy.
“What what is this?”
An involuntary groan escaped from his mouth.
On the other side of the cave you can see the Tarados estate. The day was getting brighter now.
‘Am I dreaming?’
“Thanks for your efforts.”
Simon and Kazan got out of the carriage.
“Thank you for driving me like this. Here’s the reward I promised.”
Jjallang-
Receiving the bag of coins bewildered the coachman laughed.
Did the real thieves go on a picnic as a group?
No it can’t be. In Tarados which focuses on blocking outward movement there is no way this point will be left empty.
The reason could be guessed.
‘These two people wrote their hands in advance.’
The coachman squeezed the money in his hand.
‘…If it’s keygen.’
After a moment of thought he raised his head.
“Ta where in Tarados are you planning to go?”
Kazan took the word.
“If you go further east from here you’ll find Harlem. I’m thinking of going from there.”
“The road to Tarados is steep and complicated so you will get lost a lot on your first trip. Fortunately this is my hometown where I have lived since I was a child.”
The coachman turned his head and smiled.
“I paid a little too much. I don’t want to be ripped off so I’ll take you there in good conscience.”
Simon’s face brightened.
“Thank you! If you do we’ll be happy!”
The two decided to get on the carriage again and move on.
And in the cave tunnel.
Eup-Eup-
Hundreds of thieves were struggling bound by spider webs. In front of him were Peer Elizabeth and Prince.
– Kiriri!
When the carrion spiders threatened by raising their legs as if telling them to be quiet the thieves instantly calmed down.
[Khehehe! The boy intends to continue moving by carriage!]
Elizabeth said with her eyes shining.
[Let’s hurry and follow!]
[i get it!]
Peer turned his back.
[Prince! You stay for a while and protect this place!]
[no! Why is it me!]
Prince protested waving his fists.
[This is something that only you with the best mobility in the corps can do! When the fight starts tell the boy to prepare to descend on that zombie!]
At that Prince smirked.
[Mmmmm! If you need the best mobility in the Legion you can’t help it! Go quickly!]
* * *
A place that was once prosperous and crowded with countless adventurers.
Tarados a great territory called the ‘Jewel of Freedom’.
Ironically at present it has become the place where freedom is most suppressed in the kingdom with both outward and inward movement being controlled.
‘What’s going on here?’
Simon who was sitting with his legs stretched out in the carriage opened the request form in his bosom.
A word that I couldn’t even inform properly and asked for help with a password.
“Help me”
Thinking back on this it made sense.
[for a moment! for a moment! Why is that important?]
The necklace around her neck is swinging wildly. Carl’s alter ego was struggling.
[Humans die anyway! What are you so serious about dying prematurely? my body! Please save my body quickly!]
Simon who had a pouty expression ting- twitched the necklace. Only then did Carl quiet down a bit.
“Come on! Is that important right now?”
This time there was a pink-haired girl clinging to Simon with a sweet scent.
“I’m on a carriage date with such a beautiful woman.”
Even if I try to be serious I can’t immerse myself because of these guys. Simon tore Elizabeth from his arm.
“I’ll really see you later Erje.”
I understand the desire to ride the wagon together but the way to join was absurd.
Suddenly a pink-haired girl wearing expensive clothes jumped out in front of the carriage and posed while shouting ‘hitchhiking’.
No matter how much it is there are ordinary people but even if you are not careful there is not too much.
“Isn’t that natural?”
“Natural!”
Simon touched his forehead.
“This is Tarados. It’s currently the most dangerous place on the continent and there are a lot of monsters. Do you think it makes sense for a woman to hitchhike a wagon while wandering around the wilderness alone?”
I took my soul out of talking to the coachman in a plausible way.
But Elizabeth smiled and nodded.
“Yes does that make sense? It’s a situation that’s likely to happen.”
“at all!”
* * *
Same time Tarados.
A group of thieves from the Ganeth Guild on horseback were circling menacingly raising dust.
“Oh hey lady! Where are you going in this dangerous place alone!”
“In this case the monsters will eat you.”
“A noble! A noble? How much will the ransom be?”
A girl with flowing ivory hair wearing a short skirt and stockings completely unsuitable for the dusty wilderness.
“Huh-“
There are no robes or turbans to block the sand. It doesn’t fit the terrain very well.
She spread her palms and yawned.
“Yeah but isn’t that a little strange?”
Of course among the thieves there were people whose heads rolled.
“That’s how a noble lady with such a cute and upright appearance is standing in Tarados! Look over there! She didn’t even get sand on her clothes did she?”
“Ah how are you!”
The thief leader laughed bitterly.
“I just think the sky dropped a woman for me! From now on this woman is mine!”
Other thieves were agitated by the captain’s declaration.
“Bo aren’t you giving it to the boss?”
“I’ll catch you as a slave and sell you! How much is the ransom!”
“Tongue brother! I can enjoy a little bit too right?”
In the midst of conflicting opinions over the girl’s treatment.
“Hmm-“
The girl was also weighing their treatment.
“By coming to rescue me from Simon’s capture? Are you being too passive like this? Or giving them their heads as a gift and asking for a coupon? This looks too cruel again.”
um- um-
Even though she was immediately surrounded by dozens of horsemen the girl nodded and focused on her worries.
“hey.”
Among the thieves a man who seemed to be the leader approached raising dust.
“Stop muttering nonsense you’re my bride from now on. Get in the back seat. If you hurt yourself you’ll lose value so you’d better be quiet.”
“oh.”
The girl clasped her hands and laughed.
“I’m sorry but my spouse’s seat is a bit expensive~”
Sreung!
The leader drew his sword and pointed it at her.
“Expensive? No matter how expensive it is wouldn’t the price of your life be enough?”
“Whoops.”
The wind blew.
Light-bearing white feathers fluttered around her and the thugs.
The thieves’ eyes began to taste one by one.
“There are so many different ways to commit suicide.”
