Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 257
“It’s a baby of Deimos the main ingredient of the famous nether whale! Let’s start with 100 gold!”
At the cry of the auctioneer people who gathered like a cloud continued to boo.
“Why don’t you tell me that it’s an empty shell without the most important ‘heart’?”
“I can’t even use it as a nether whale so who’s going to pay 100 gold?”
“Cancer cancer.”
Then someone raised their hand.
“100 gold.”
Whenever he booed the hands immediately followed.
“110 gold.”
“120 gold!”
With the price rising steeply Simone was still waiting for Benya’s answer.
The question of whether Deimos can be used as a skeleton.
She was seriously contemplating with her eyes closed.
“It’s unprecedented. Ignoring the perfect success story of the nether whale I’m going to make a skeleton with only the bones. Hmm.”
“I can’t help it because I took the most important heart.”
Of course I thought that if Deimos was a whole baby the price would have risen to tens of thousands of gold.
“So is he.”
She opened her eyes slowly.
“The skeleton version of Deimos I think it’s worth a try.”
“That’s enough.”
Simon prepared to barge into the auction.
“How much do you think the market price is?”
“At least 2000 gold?”
she answered right away.
“If you’re going to buy it I can pay for half of the by-products except for the bones on condition that we hand them over to our vanilla.”
“Really? Yes! So let’s do it!”
“Yeah. But does the student have a lot of money like 1000 gold?”
Simon nodded.
There was a request fee of 2000 gold that I received from Princess Molly for a recent mission evaluation.
“290 gold!”
“300 gold!”
It’s already up to 300 gold. The auctioneer intervened.
“Then from now on I’ll raise 50 gold each. For those who want to buy it for 350 gold…”
“1000 gold.”
It was quiet enough to hear the sound of a needle dropping.
Simon had raised his arm and entered the auction.
“…who is this?”
“I’ll just call you out.”
“Is it the scion of a high-ranking aristocrat?”
“You look like a lot of money.”
If you knew the market price was 2000 gold there was no need to waste your time. I was thinking of going straight into the game knocking out the losers and running to 2000.
Of course another hand comes up.
“Hmmmm 1050 gold.”
“1300 gold.”
“Keu keuheum! 1350 gold.”
“1600 gold.”
As Simon quickly defended the man who called for 1350 gold hardened his expression. Everyone groaned.
“The owner was decided from the beginning.”
“It’s poisonous. You’re the one who will continue to receive it no matter how many times you raise it.”
“Why don’t you go inside?”
“What if I called 1650 and then withdrew it?”
In the midst of the crowd Simon stared at the man his only rival.
The slightly flustered man and Simon who had an extremely calm expression met their eyes.
Simon felt his will break.
“1600 gold! No more!”
The auctioneer was a little perplexed.
He was also expecting the price to rise more but the heat cooled too quickly than expected.
After procrastinating several times he finally declared.
“This product was sold for 1600 gold.”
‘nice!’
Simon’s lips seemed to be caught in his ears. He was purely lucky. He thought more would come from the other side but it seems he had other things to buy besides Deimos.
800 gold if shared with the vanilla side.
It saved a lot of money. Even after he paid it all he still had 1200 gold on hand.
Soon the people who had flocked to the auction like a cloud dispersed leaving only Simon and Ben.
Benya was calling somewhere with the communication crystal orb.
“Soon our people will be coming to move things to the warehouse.”
She said.
“Let’s dismantle it in the warehouse go through a simple process and then engrave a Summon Skeleton magic circle. I’ll pay for the cost as a service for you guys.”
“Thank you! Senior!”
Simon let out an exclamation of joy inwardly.
“I’m a junior under direct control of the club so I have to put in the effort to keep things tidy. Instead you should be nice to first-year students under you when they come later right?”
“Yes I will!”
Of course there were also several warehouses and businesses run by the vanilla side in Ballot Port.
Benya left saying he would come and see the situation and the auctioneer decided to keep the item safe before taking it over from Vanilla.
‘I have time.’
Feeling better Simon decided to explore the market alone.
There is still a lot of money left. I was interested in everything because I thought that I could have the things here because I had money.
Simon decided to go deeper into the market.
‘ah! It was here!’
Belatedly I also found a place that sells intact Poloran bone sets. It was in good condition and the number of bones was correct.
‘I always saw something like this after buying something.’
I thought about buying it as a plan B in case the Deimos Skeleton fails but it seemed like an overspend.
Simon who almost made an impulsive purchase without realizing it gave up his lingering feelings and walked elsewhere.
Numerous fish-type monsters are packed in ice cases. There are giant octopus monsters and there are saltwater crocodile monsters.
At first I felt a physiological reluctance to see this but I felt a little better when I thought that I was just an undead.
There was more to see than expected. The more I knew about it the more interesting it seemed to me. Simon felt a strange feeling at the thought of becoming a necromancer.
‘Oh that’s funny. however.’
Simon who had been walking absentmindedly looked around.
‘Where am I?’
At some point people disappeared completely. I felt like I had gone too deep.
Simon looked around calmly and walked down the alley.
‘!’
And the moment you step on a certain point.
Suddenly a bloody smell reared its head.
I thought my nose had been paralyzed to some extent after I came here but it was so bad that my nose was blown out.
‘My head is dizzy.’
As it is a ‘fish market’ that sells goods to customers the sanitary conditions here are not that serious. But the more I walked the more the bloody smell got worse.
‘That’s the source of the stench.’
What looks like a warehouse.
The old door was open.
‘….’
Somehow it looks dangerous. So I just tried to pass by.
The moment Simon tried to obey reason this time intuition appeared and encouraged him.
There must be something going on inside me.
Can I really not see it?
I might think of you every night.
I’m sure you’ll regret overdoing this.
Just look through the crack in the open door and come out.
It was strange. Guided by an unknown strong sensation Simon moved his steps as if possessed by his own demon. His nose seemed to fall off but his steps continued to lead him into the shed.
And in that warehouse.
“…!”
saw the mountain
‘Ooh!’
Simon knelt on one knee on the floor and vomited.
They were ‘hearts’.
Indeed countless hearts were forming a mountain. There was a magic circle on the floor and it seemed like it had been a while since I came out but my heart was beating like a throb.
‘What is it? Why is my heart like this…’
No matter how mad the necromancers were this wasn’t a normal picture.
Jerk Jeop Jeop.
Just then footsteps were heard outside the warehouse.
Simon woke up from a state of mental fainting with a flash of consciousness.
“You’ve got a good heart.”
“Yes. It was by chance that I saw a hatchling whale here.”
two male voices. Footsteps get closer and closer.
Simon quickly moved to hide. After a while I heard the men’s footsteps stop.
“The door is open.”
“Ah I left it open for a while when I went to pick it up. It’s got a ‘cognitive impairment spell’ anyway.”
“It doesn’t matter if you show it but be careful from now on.”
“Haha! Who would come all the way here?”
Soon two men wearing robes entered the warehouse.
pounding! pounding! pounding! pounding!
Simon was glued to the ceiling at the entrance in pitch black.
My heart raced like crazy at the thought that if they turned around and looked up they would be caught right away.
If you get caught you will never be able to go over with the words ‘You heard the wrong way’.
Fortunately the smell of blood was so strong and the inside of this warehouse was filled with pitch darkness so even a necromancer had no way of detecting himself.
“Let’s check the condition of the goods one last time.”
A man who appeared to be a subordinate carefully opened the box. I saw a heart in a glass case.
Simon realized roughly what that heart was with the information he had so far.
‘They’re the ones who bought the yellow whale and took out the heart.’
Then the man in this warehouse took off his hood. His brown hair flowed out revealing his shiny glasses.
Upon realizing his identity Simon almost screamed.
‘Bar Professor Walter?’
why is he here?
“The condition is certain.”
said Walter raising his glasses.
“What are your plans?”
“It’s going well. I’ll make sure not to be late for the due date.”
The two began to talk about various things. Even though Simon was terrified he listened to the story without fail.
“I will explain Mr. Judas.”
Judah.
came out again that name.
It was the name written on Walter’s favorite fountain pen.
From Simon’s observations Walter had a habit of always carrying the fountain pen in his breast pocket wherever he went and whatever he wore.
When I first met Walter and Langerstein Walter said that he had inherited this fountain pen from someone else. But without a doubt that man now called Walter ‘Judas’.
‘Professor Walter lied.’
But right now the name doesn’t matter.
Judah. Judah. It’s a name that keeps bothering me. I think I’ve seen it somewhere but my memory is too vague.
Just then I heard a thumping sound from outside and another person came in. She’s this time she’s a woman.
“Judas. Count Charon has arrived.”
“Let’s leave now.”
Walter put on his hood and moved on. The two went out of the warehouse and the door was closed.
“….”
Simon and Walter’s men are now in the warehouse. Only two were left.
Simon grasped the situation by relying on a mana light bulb that flickered as if it would go off at any moment.
The man overturned the box and sat on it like a chair fixing the magic circle that manages the hearts.
‘how will we do it.’
If I use the power of the corps commander or take out the Prince I’ll be able to do something but I didn’t want Walter to find out that someone had come to this warehouse.
Simon clinging to the ceiling braced his trembling legs with strength propped his back against the ceiling and lifted his arms up.
The goal is the biggest heart over there.
On top of that draw a new magic circle remotely.
‘Hey it’s hard.’
It was insanely difficult to maintain this posture and even had to draw a magic circle remotely from a distance.
Again. Knock.
In an instant his forehead became plump. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead and fell to the floor.
From Simon’s point of view it sounded like a noise but luckily the man didn’t notice at all. The man was repairing his magic circle while humming his song.
‘Tta I hope you don’t sweat.’
The more he thought about it the more nervous he became and sweat soaked Simon’s head.
You don’t have to sweat too much you can’t forget the current state attached to the ceiling and you have to draw a magic circle from a distance in this state.
‘Concentrate concentrate.’
What Simon drew was a rogue magic circle. It has no effect.
A magic circle that only writes a failure formula and when the magic circle is activated it breaks on its own.
I didn’t know the day would come when I would make something like this on purpose but that was today.
‘now!’
Simon activated the magic circle. A powerful sound like nails scraping against a blackboard began to reverberate throughout the warehouse.
“Huh huh! What what?”
The man who was repairing the magic circle woke up in surprise. Soon Simon drew a magic circle from the heart! A sound was heard and blood began to flow.
“What’s wrong?!”
The man seemed to think he had made a mistake while repairing the magic circle.
In a panic he made a fuss over the formula fearing that his other heart would also be damaged.
Right now.
Before the strange sound cut off Simon quickly descended from the ceiling and moved to the next door.
profit.
I was prepared to get caught and opened the door slightly but the noise from the rogue magic circle was so strong that the man didn’t even notice that he was in a state of shock. He seemed preoccupied with tearing open the magic circle and fixing it.
Simon quickly got out of the door and closed it normally.
Then it ran.
“Heo-eok! Hee-eok! Heo-eok!”
Sweat dripped from my mouth and a sweet smell came out of my mouth. Her heart was thumping like it was about to explode.
Simon wanted to leave this place right now.
“Oh gentlemen!”
How long did it take to finally see the auction house where the auction had taken place. In front of him he saw Benya who was looking for Simon.
“I was worried because he didn’t come even after waiting! Where did you go?”
When I saw Benya’s face I calmed down belatedly and felt like I was about to burst into tears.
Simon tried to grab the hood with his hand and covered his face deeply gasping several times.
“Go quickly. Senior.”
“Yes?”
“To the warehouse in vanilla that you are working on. Hurry up.”
“Ah okay. I need to take a carriage ride from here isn’t it okay?”
Simon sighed and nodded.
“yes.”
Now all I could think about was getting out of here.
