Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 496
Mud from the bottom of the pond rose up and gathered in the air forming the shape of a face.
‘…no way.’
It is also the head of a dog not a human.
Simon immediately realized who it was.
‘Beast of plague sword!’
kudeudeuk-
The mud dog’s head moved and saw Simon Kazan and Peer.
The image of the undead clearly remained something like bones visible through the flowing flesh.
[Hey~ How long has it been? bloom!]
even made an end.
[Khahaha! Long time no see! knife!]
is it a real knife?
Did you find it that easy?
Simon looked at Peer with an absurd expression.
[Of course not real boy! It’s just an alter ego. It’s similar to my skull badge you wear!]
Simon looked down at the badge and understood right away.
[But Peer what is that little boy? Are you immersed in the fun of raising a human kid like in the old days?]
Peer laughed.
[Richard’s son Simon Pollentia. Currently I am the commander of the 7th corps following him!]
[That bastard’s son?]
Carl’s gaze turned to Simon.
[I see yes! He looks and ate just like that Richard! Human ‘blood’ is so creepy! I can feel his temperament.]
Cal’s eyes flashed.
[Hmm- But I guess that foal did a good job educating his children? My son has a shell. It is a very strong and sturdy shell. But what if you peeled off a layer of that skin? Do you want to be like Richard? or not-]
“I’m sorry Carl.”
Simon smiled.
“We’ll talk about that later. We’re here to pick you up. Half of the body is secured but where is the other half?”
[Yeah I don’t know!]
Carl’s alter ego laughed. It really sounded like a dog howling.
[At the end of my memory the body was being transported on a wagon to somewhere in ‘Tarados’! The main body squeezed out the last of its strength to create my own clones and escaped through the cracks in the carriage! We crawled across the bottom and hid in a nearby marsh or pond to keep up. After that contact with the body was lost.]
Carl moved his head to take a closer look at Simon.
[I’ve been waiting for you guys to come there! The main body made the clones feel the energy when someone with the ‘legion’s power’ came near!]
Simon smiled inwardly.
As expected the body of the sword was in Tarados. It seems to have come to the right place.
[knife! If so where are the other alter egos?]
Peer asked this time. Carl shook his head.
[I don’t know either. Not only the main body but also the alter egos cannot communicate with each other. Probably everyone is hiding somewhere in the damp and asking for help.]
[…hmm.]
[Anyway hurry up and bloom! They’re doing all sorts of horrible experiments on my body! At this rate the main body may be completely destroyed and there may be no time to do anything about it!]
Then Simon took a step forward.
“Okay Carl. Instead I have to promise you one thing. If I save you you and your forces must join the 7th Corps I lead.”
[Uh um! Of course… it could be… could it be?]
I could see Carl’s alter ego speechless rolling his eyes.
[Putting that aside for a moment wouldn’t it be better to let me escape first? Only if we work together will we be able to wipe out those bad guys. Let’s hold hands with me!]
Simon turned his back.
“Let’s go back to Kizen. Pier Kazan.”
[for a moment! for a moment! for a moment!]
Carl’s alter ego said urgently.
[What to go back! He said he came to rescue me!]
“To be precise I came to bring you back to the Legion.”
Simon turned his head to look at him.
“If they refuse to return we don’t have to fight them.”
For a moment Carl put on a dazed expression.
[This such an ungrateful person! Do you know how much I helped your father? You’re going to leave me your father’s benefactor like this?]
Kazan opened the map without saying a word.
“The distance of the next teleport magic circle returning to Keyzen is 15 minutes from here.”
“Yes let’s go.”
[for a moment! for a moment! for a moment!]
Carl stuck out his tongue and pretended to gasp.
[okay! Got it! You can return to the Legion!]
“Yes. Negotiation established.”
Simon laughed lightly.
[Keugh…!]
And the knife felt.
That Simon’s smiling face overlapped perfectly with the smiling face of Richard who invaded a well-to-do dungeon and threatened to become my subordinate.
[Anyway the greed of humans…!!]
Simon ignored it lightly and asked the next question.
“Do you know anything more besides the fact that the body is in Tarados?”
[I’m just an alter ego so I don’t know the exact location. You can still feel the body’s presence! Even now I feel trapped not too far away! take me As the position of the main body gets closer a response will come from my body.]
Carl’s alter ego was a kind of detector to find the main body.
“Simon use this.”
Kazan took out a socket necklace from his bag and handed it to Simon. Carl’s alter ego slipped lightly into the socket.
[oh! nice here The body will never dry up.]
The necklace swung like the pendulum of a clock.
[Then let’s go! Please hurry up and find my body!]
“Okay please be quiet.”
Simon closed the socket lid completely and hung it around his neck.
“Thank you. I’ll return this from school. Kazan.”
“Yes. First we’ll find the village.”

same time.
A swampy area near Tarados.
[I am Carl’s alter ego! I was waiting for someone with legion power!]
This time the swamp floor clumped together and Carl’s clone emerged. The conversation with Simon continued.
[also. As per information.]
A man wearing a robe appeared in the swamp.
His name is Alaze.
It was the Ancient Undead of the Fifth Corps led by Magnus.
[Even when the main base is occupied the ancient undead are supplied. Magnus Corps Commander. Unconventional.]
Guards stood around Alazee muttering so undead wearing large robes.
The body visible through the robes was stitched together with multi-colored skin and a foul-smelling saliva flowed from the corners of the mouth. A black whirlwind swept through the two pupils as if scribbled by children.
Carl’s alter ego was more wary of the undead behind him than the ancient undead Alaze.
[question.]
Alazee opened her mouth in a hoarse voice.
[Available for cooperation. but condition. If we take out the body. Must belong to Magnus’s 5th Corps.]
At the mention of belonging to the corps Carl’s alter ego was fed up.
It hasn’t been long since the 7th Corps was disbanded and I became free but I have to join the Corps again!
[That that’s…!]
[Other than that there is no room for negotiation.]
As Alazee said Carl had no choice at this point.
Is this the grownup who has the strength of the legion for the first time in years?
[…Yes that’s good. As long as you take me away from them!]
Allazee raised an eyebrow.
[Karl and the 5th Corps contract established. the one who gets in the way. I will delete them all.]

The Jewel of Freedom Tarados.
This place once enjoyed miraculous prosperity as a place called ‘Gold Mine Dungeon’ where expensive ore monsters appeared.
Numerous adventurers and treasure hunters who were full of dreams of making a fortune flocked to create a sea of people. During the day as well as late into the night lights were turned on in the cities throughout the territory.
Residents welcomed outsiders without discrimination and adventurers regardless of region nationality or race stood shoulder to shoulder drank sang and mingled. A new culture transcending race and nationality was created.
Tarados where oppressed people live together has grown into a new symbol of freedom.
However as the seeds of the ore monsters in the gold mine dungeon dried up the number of outsiders gradually decreased and everything changed after the new lord came to Tarados.
People’s bodies float in the river.
There were also cases where the inhabitants of Tarados turned into hideous chimeras that crossed the mountains and raided the farms of neighboring territories.
Ominous rumors bit their tail after tail and now it has become a place where no one sets foot.
The story of Tarados was well known here in the neighboring territory of ‘Eprun’.
“You want to go to Tarados?”
The two arrived safely in a nearby village.
At Simon and Kazan’s request the coachman asked back with a puzzled expression. Simon nodded confidently.
“Yes I want to go right now.”
“Ugh! Did the young people drink at least in broad daylight? Tarados is hell right now!”
The coachman waved his hand.
It was already the fourth rejection. The coachmen who had already refused were laughing with their backs against the wagon.
“Who would go to Tarados under these circumstances?”
“If you’re going to commit suicide go to the ruins over there and there’s a poisonous pond do it there!”
“ha ha ha!”
Simon asked easily overcoming the laughter of the coachmen.
“What’s going on in Tarados?”
“That’s… Kuhm.”
The coachman cleared his throat and slowly looked around.
“It’s not something I’d say leisurely to outsiders. I also want to sleep comfortably at night.”
Still rather than the reaction of the other coachmen who said there was no tag it was okay because this person seemed to be doing it for the other person.
Simon pulled out a pocket full of money from the pocket inside his robe and showed it.
“I’ll give you any money.”
cluck-
The coachman who saw it swallowed saliva without realizing it but he soon waved his hand in amazement.
“I can’t go even if I give 10000 gold! No matter how good money is life is more important!”
“Is Tarados that dangerous?”
“If you say two words you’re nagging!”
“however.”
Simon pointed with his fingertips.
“Those people seem to be going to Tarados.”
A group of wagons were preparing to move in the direction of Tarados. Men with stern faces were shouting loudly with their swords drawn.
“…Be careful. Don’t even make eye contact with them.”
said the coachman hushing his voice. Villagers were either walking away from them or closing their windows.
“Who do you want?”
“Ganeth Guild. It’s not just a guild it’s just a band of bandits. They’re based in Tarados and they’re very dangerous… Hey hey!”
Simon didn’t listen to everything and walked towards the cart of the Ganeth Guild with strides.
The thieves frowned and aimed their weapons at them.
“Hey what are you?”
“Is the liver swollen?”
A bloody atmosphere as if a knife fight would happen at any moment. The coachman was frightened and motioned for Simon to return but Simon smiled and saw the bandits.
“Are you going to Tarados? What’s in it?”
Then with an innocent expression he pointed to the box on the wagon.
At that moment a man who seemed to be the captain of the thieves jumped out of the wagon.
“What are you doing bastard?”
It was a voice full of intent to kill.
At those words Simon rummaged through his pockets and took out his second-year Kizen student ID.
“I’m from Kizen.”
The expressions of the Ganess Guild members hardened. The man who seemed to be his captain bit his lip hard as the blood drained from his face.
“Please cooperate with the investigation.”
Simon put his student ID back into his bosom and pointed at the box with his fingertips.
“Let me ask you again. What are you transporting to Tarados?”
The captain let out a long sigh. Then he took a cigarette from his belt put it in his mouth and lit it.
woo woo-
Smoke from the beginning of the year stretched out like fog and painted the surroundings hazy.
“Oh the one who learned is true.”
The captain let out an embarrassing laugh.
Still when I showed my Keyzen student ID my voice was much more muffled than when I was pressured.
“Me. I have a son who is the same age as the teacher. I can’t even open my core because I don’t have money and I’m just stuck making clothes.”
“Investigation underway. Please answer the questions.”
“If you’re a Kizen you should grow up seeing only good things and hearing only good things and in the future you should become a high-ranking person who moves the country. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if you hurt yourself by intruding on the beehive?”
Talking in a persuasive tone he took a step closer scattering smoke from the beginning of the year.
“All of the lower ones have their own lives. It’s a bit dirty and messy so if you’re interested in it pay attention to your eyes. I’m giving this advice because it reminds me of my son.”
“If you don’t cooperate like that.”
In the suffocating tension Simon put his hand lightly on the box.
“Can I open it?”
Sreung! Sreung! win!
Remembrance! chuck!
The moment he put his hand on the box all the thieves pointed their swords and bows at Simon.
“Uh-huh don’t do that~”
The thief captain also pointed his sword at Simon’s neck.
“Sir! Even though I am ignorant and have not learned anything I assure you of one thing.”
He took out a pouch containing gold from his bosom and held it in front of Simon.
“If you just ignore it and go away there won’t be any problems in your life! Nothing will happen! No really. I don’t know why you’re doing this to the common people. Actually that’s the purpose right?”
Simon lowered his gaze as he put his hand on the box.
Passing the sword of the mercenary commander aiming at the scruff of his neck he looked down at the box.
And a very small gap in the box.
in that little gap.
“!”
I see the eyes of a person rolling around.
“Now now so sir-“
“hey.”
In an instant Simon’s eyes twisted like a demon.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of moving on to such a story?”
