Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 673
Still I was offered a seat but I did not want to be cold-hearted so I sat down.
Frontline commander to War Necromancer. They were not people Simon could easily deal with.
‘…By the way it’s amazing.’
This was just an inn restaurant but the scenery outside the window was constantly changing.
Urban areas lakes in the middle of the desert and more. It seemed to keep changing according to the taste and mood of the War Necromancer Cronus.
Wind as well as humidity and smell were reproduced. A considerable level of fantasy magic. Simon thought it was the second best vision he had ever seen next to Seiwir.
“My junior what grade were you in?”
Just then that Kronos asked.
“I’m in the second year.”
“Oh yeah? You’re only half done.”
I noticed when he called Simon a junior but surprisingly Cronus was from Kizen. Hearing the story it seems that he dropped out at the beginning of his sophomore semester.
The reason he revealed was that he dropped out of school and got a job right away because he liked this job too much while doing a mission evaluation at Kalos.
“If you have any questions about Keyzen’s life ask me anything!”
Cronus patted Simon on the shoulder and laughed happily. Simon followed suit and smiled embarrassedly.
‘I think the time spent in Keyzen will be similar to each other.’
“Let’s talk small talk like this.”
Romario cleared his throat. His clear white eyebrows swayed.
“Before I tell you I’m wondering why you a Kizen student are in such a rough place alone.”
Simon’s head returned to Parbat.
Is this situation where the keyzen students are in the north from their point of view they don’t like it?
Even Count Baldmont was the first to try to subjugate himself.
Since I don’t know the other side’s intention I decided to draw a line for now.
“Please understand that I cannot tell you about my off-campus schedule because it is confidential.”
“Ehehe~ You acted coldly.”
Cronus next to him waved his wrist.
“Isn’t it possible to tell me what you came for whether it’s a mission evaluation or a dispatch evaluation? It’s not that anyone will scold you for saying that.”
“I belong to the student council senior.”
Simon put on a picturesque business smile.
“If the student council doesn’t follow the principles who will?”
At those words Cronus hesitated then laughed happily.
“Hahaha! He doesn’t lose a word and speaks well! As expected the student council president is not for everyone!”
Romario gave Cronus a glance as if to shut up.
“Then I won’t ask you about that part anymore. The reason I called you is to seek cooperation.”
“Cooperation?”
“Yes the price is-“
When Romario swung his arm once runes spread throughout the walls of the inn and a magic circle was activated.
It was soundproof magic for security.
“His Majesty the King will pay.”
At the growing scale Simon felt sweat running down his back.
‘I sat down for no reason.’
I didn’t know that I would ask for cooperation while mentioning the king.
Even in the era of the Dark Union the influence of only four ‘Kings’ on this continent was still strong.
In fact if he were an ordinary nobleman he would have bowed down on his face saying that he would obey the king’s order right away without being able to express his intentions. As long as they are in Kalos even nobles from other countries are not free from the orders of King Kalos.
‘If I make a mistake it will be interpreted as going against the king’s command.’
Here I had no choice but to give a thoroughly principled answer.
“I’m just a student who came under Kizen’s instructions. If you want to ask for cooperation in this mission please make a formal request to the school.”
Use keygen as a shield.
The king everything fades in front of the names of Kizen and Nephthys. What would you do if you were a student of Nephthys?
And the position of the student council was also useful in dealing with adults in that they could adhere to principles.
As if it was working Romario’s expression was slightly shaded.
“Yes yes. First as a senior who dropped out can I give you one piece of advice?”
Kronos suddenly intervened.
“I feel like school is everything in the world right now? The professors look so great they run from place to place while doing their homework and it feels like the world will perish just because one class is dropped. But when I go outside everything is useless.”
Cronus’ voice sounded a bit bitter.
“School is three years at the longest. Whether you end up being expelled or survive and graduate you go back to your original position as soon as you come out. Are you guys ignoring the kids in the bottom-ranked squad right now? I’m saying that the pretty duke’s daughter who came in shouldn’t be slovenly saying that she’s a senior. After three years I’ll use you as a horse stand.”
He brushed through his flowing bangs.
“The point is that I have to find my way to live. School is just a means. It’s good to think that the three years at Kizen are the end of the advantage of being able to hang out with people we wouldn’t be able to see in our lives. You don’t have to fill the entire 3 years if you build a job make a way to live after graduation and finish the basic work.”
pretend he is! He pointed to Simon’s forehead.
“In that sense it’s better not to miss this opportunity to connect with His Majesty the King. If things go well I can take you to an audience with His Majesty the King…”
“If that’s what you want to say.”
drooling-
Simon got up from his seat.
“Let’s go.”
Then calmly I turned my back and went up the stairs to the second floor where the dormitory was located.
Cronus and Romario who were staring at his back looked at each other only after hearing the sound of a door closing in the distance.
“I’m confident in dealing with keyzen students so didn’t you ask me to leave it to you?”
Romario said as if reprimanding him.
“Sometimes there are kids like that.”
Cronus scratched his head.
“Those who won’t admit it even if I tell them the truth. I just think they’re out of focus.”
thump-
Kronos snapped his fingers.
The soundproofing magic expanded and the inn room turned red. Simon’s room and lobby were completely separated. Now no matter what I do I can’t hear the story from the other side.
“Hey~ Owner. Here’s another beer.”
“yeah!”
“Oh and another bowl of roast quail.”
“All right.”
As if under a curse the innkeeper and his wife with their hazy eyes left for the kitchen. Romario sighed.
“Are you going to eat more here instead of going back to the barracks?”
“This house is good at cooking. Going to the barracks is the sickest soup isn’t it? I want to enjoy it a little more.”
Cronus tore off the foreleg of the quail and gulped down the beer next to him.
“Keuuu good.”
He lowered his glass and smirked.
“Now what?”
“I didn’t expect much from the beginning to make Keyzen’s student council president on the same side. I’ll do as I initially planned.”
Hearing Romario’s answer Cronus shook his head.
“Can’t we just wipe out here with all our might? We’ve entered Vilkenos bloodlessly.”
“Do not underestimate the power of the Grand Duke. He is a real hero who has protected the North by single blood for over 20 years. Above all if she is not there who will capture the Northern God?”
Cronus shrugged.
“I heard there are no ‘three brothers’ anymore? Wouldn’t we be able to catch the North God alone?”
“We don’t even know the way to the North God yet. Wait until the Archduke guides you.”
Tsk.
Cronus clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
The food arrived just in time and the two ate the food leisurely.
“I’m talking about Kizen but right now I’m called the necromancer of all armies and I’m being praised right?”
The necromancer of armies Kronos.
He is a war necromancer specializing in ‘wide-area curse’ that curses up to 10000 targets at the same time.
It is a curse applied to allies rather than enemies eliminating fear and wandering thoughts and turning it into a killing weapon only for killing or forcibly awakening physical abilities to induce them to exert several times their normal strength.
The armies he served as commander had never been defeated.
Of course there were no friendly soldiers who returned with a normal mind and body.
“But well I shot a lot in my Kizen life. Whether it’s a duel or a mission wide-area curses against allies are useless.”
“I guess so.”
he stretched out his hand.
“But I blossomed after entering the military. There is only one step left now.”
He ran his tongue over his lips.
“Become a corps commander! If I direct an infinite army and cast a curse an invincible undead army will be born. Can you imagine how strong it will be?”
Romario closed her eyes.
“Are the summoning undead that you deal with not enough?”
“Even the sky is indifferent. I was born with this ability so I was a nerd.”
Cronus smiled self-deprecatingly.
“The maximum number of undead that can move is three.
“I’m sorry.”
“I think it’s a curse on me.”
He looked at Romario with his tongue twitching.
“Keep your promise Romario.”
“What promise?”
“Only one in a thousand. If the Archduke dies in this war even one in a thousand—”
“The 2nd Corps will be yours. It will be somewhat less realistic but.”
Kkeuk.
Cronus shrugged and laughed.
Then it drooped.
“It’s hard. You don’t have to go down this difficult path and if you find the 7th corps commander everything will be easily resolved.”
“Are you talking about the corps commander of betrayal who was noisy in Kizen this time?”
“Yes I’m secretly looking for my friends too. I’ll try to become a corps commander.”
Kronos tilted his back and muttered annoyedly.
“Ah really! Where does the 7th corps commander stop falling off!”
then ugh! and the barrier trembled.
Cronus snapped his fingers without looking back. Then someone entered the reddened barrier of the inn.
“See you again. Commander Romario Prince Kronos.”
Cronus smiled and waved his hand.
“I’m here?”
Romario also nodded.
“Welcome.”
It was none other than the Earl of Voldmont who entered.
“I have a suggestion for you.”
* * *
the next morning.
In the north tension was lingering.
You can feel the atmosphere of flying everywhere. The northerners who were prone to riotous drinking and duels stopped all work and looked coldly at the kingdom army camped in the outskirts.
Perhaps to prevent a noisy situation the Grand Duke had instructed the warriors in advance not to touch the kingdom’s army. Romario also instructed his soldiers to reduce unnecessary movement and to remain in their barracks.
However sometimes there were northern warriors who couldn’t beat their temper and tried to quarrel with the soldiers. Time and again there were situations where a big fight would have broken out if others hadn’t stopped it.
It was such a troubled time but Simon went to work at the Grand Duke’s castle and focused on the corps commander class.
Since the three brothers had died and the remnants had been taken care of she had no need to shoot the windy bow. She was more intent on teaching Simon.
“Begin.”
Today Simon practiced freely controlling the corps-type undead from a distance.
‘Feel it. Even if you don’t necessarily connect with the undead you can give orders with your thoughts just like incense is blown in the wind.’
Simon spread his skeletons all over the city and gave them a mission to buy things.
Residents familiar with the Grand Duke’s undead personally handed over items to the skeleton with a memo and a bundle of money.
However the geography of the market was very complex there were many people and there were many variables.
“…I want you to buy some arrows.”
He gave instructions to buy arrows from the blacksmith’s but what was in the skeleton’s hand was a large fish caught in the northern lake.
The Grand Duke laughed.
“Rather it went well. Today’s lunch is a fish dish.”
There was a lot of trial and error. At first there were frequent cases of forgetting or disconnecting the thought connected to the skeleton but this also adapted as time went on.
Later Simon even performed a feat of reassembling a skeleton that had been smashed by a crowd and reassembled with a restoration device from a distance.
I’m taking a break after collecting the things I’ve been shopping for.
‘ah.’
I witnessed the Kingdom Army soldiers at the market.
Morale didn’t seem that high. All of her eyes were sunken her cheeks sunken and her body seemed weak.
The Archduke also saw it.
“That’s because of the curse of Kronos.”
Kronos is a thoroughly warring necromancer who casts a wide-ranging curse on the ‘army’. Although all the soldiers became very strong there were inevitable side effects as it was a form of being strengthened by the priest’s curse rather than the blessing.
“It’s no different from a necromancer dealing with the undead.”
said the Archduke. Seeing the soldiers with no will in their withered bodies Simon nodded as well.
“Will it really be okay? This attack on the North God.”
“Okay.”
The Grand Duke said calmly.
“No matter what the case I’m here. If I see any signs of them doing something strange I’ll clean up without leaving a trace and if you faithfully help us it’s enough to take a little interest in Frost Field.”
She closed her eyes.
“The only thing that matters right now is the North God.
“yes!”
Simon smiled.
“And when I talk to my student can’t we make eye contact and talk?”
“…Haven’t we met before?”
Her strange condition continued.
Right then.
“Your Excellency the Grand Duke.”
The butler Godric came running himself. After bowing her eyes to Simon she whispered in the Archduke’s ear.
The Archduke’s expression became serious.
“I see Hait.”
“?”
Simon blinked and looked at the two of them.
* * *
Whoa!
northern mountains.
Between the unmoving undead corpses of the North God a faceless knight gazed ahead.
chuck.
It was Haite the administrator of the 2nd Corps.
A place far away from where he was standing over the mountains.
A hole in the black abyss was visible there.
[Finding the location of the Abyss complete. I will return.]
Haight turned around as he gave instructions. The Phantom Dyurahans of the 2nd Corps also started to descend the snowy mountain.
[….]
And a ghoul watching the retreating 2nd Corps from a tree.
The ghoul’s thoughts move.
thru-
Through a complicated passage like a narrow tunnel.
At the end of an infinitely deep thought.
[Leave it alone. They will come to their feet soon.]
The voice of the ruler of all the undead in the north was heard.
smooth-
In the dark brightly shining eyes opened.
[I’ll be waiting. Jonah’s son.]
