Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 893
Necromancer mercenaries have gathered for their own purposes in Riveron which has turned into a living hell.
And Pantasus decided to organize an ‘expedition’.
He was in the middle of carrying out a mission to ‘remove and stabilize associations’ at the request of Keygen. Not only did he have a cause and fame but he decided to receive a huge amount of money from Kizen so he was well qualified to organize an expedition.
The fact that he was a necromancer who proved his skills through various adventures without belonging anywhere was a major factor in leading the wandering wolves called mercenaries.
“You said your successor would also join the expedition so you’ve put up with this!”
Meanwhile Simon was walking on the road with Pantasus.
Azel left because of other things in the middle. He seemed to be moving separately to gather information.
“Of course I have to help. I’m here because of this situation.”
“Did you say it was a mission evaluation to evaluate what the organization is taking away from you! Hmm!
The image of Pantasus laughing heartily was still the same.
Somehow I felt more mature than before.
“Now that it’s like this can you help me with the interview for the expedition? It’ll become even more of an issue if it’s known that the student council president Kisen has joined!”
“Uh… is it okay if I wear it?”
“A necromancer who is as brilliant and leading a life as you are deserves it! Mmm!”
Empty! Empty!
He patted Simon’s shoulder and suddenly he laughed with his head sticking out.
“As expected this body’s eyes are not mistaken! To defeat Balak and become the official student council president!”
“Thanks to the help of the people around me.”
“You’re even humble! Great!”
The two reached their destination while talking about this and that.
It was a military base surrounded by a castle and a moat and soldiers were guarding the front.
Two soldiers blocked the entrance with spears and asked.
“What business are you here for?”
“Necromancer Phantasus Hugh Ikell and Keyzen’s student council president Simon Pollentia.”
Phantasus stretched out his chest and said.
“I need to see the lord right now!”
The figure of Phantasus who confidently demands a meeting with the great lord without any promise.
He wouldn’t be a person that could easily be seen just because the great lord wanted to see him but he seemed like it would be possible.
The guards whispered among themselves for a while and then said.
“The lord is now in the basement of the castle.”
Upon hearing that Pantasus’ expression hardened.
“Are you talking about that ruined lord castle?”
* * *
As Riveron was a great territory that served as the center of the region there was a luxurious ‘lord’s castle’ within the territory where the king of a country could live.
However the state of the lord’s castle that Simon witnessed following the guards’ guidance was terrible.
The roof of the large round lord’s castle had completely collapsed and most of the walls and floors were burnt down ruins. Bodies that had been burnt black here and there lay twisted here and there as if expressing the pain of being burned alive.
Phantasus hardened his impression.
“You mean the lord is served in a place like this? I recommend that you move to that military base or mansion.”
“…This is the Lord’s will.”
The guard shook his head.
“He never breaks his will.”
Yeongju himself said he would live here but it was inevitable. Simon and Pantasus walked down the stairs and entered the basement of the lord’s castle which had been burnt down.
The underground side suffered less damage from the breath that came down from the sky but it was equally terrible.
There were clear signs of battle. The corpses of monsters were everywhere and the corpses of the servants and soldiers who were fighting were forming a river.
Simon frowned at the foul smell.
“This way.”
The two passed through the strict security and came down to the third basement floor.
It’s damp and full of moldy smell.
In a space that could have been used as a storage room an expensive red carpet was laid out and large luxurious chairs were placed.
Sitting on top of it was a fairly young man with a dark-eyed bearded face stroking something.
Turns out it was the skull of a corpse. Simon confirmed that there was something like a crown on top of the skull.
“Dad wait.”
After muttering that he lightly kissed the skull and raised his head.
“Welcome Phantasus. And Kizen’s student council president. I’ve heard a lot about it.”
Simon and Pantasus each put their hands on their chests and bowed.
Simon’s eyes which had been lowering his head opened slightly.
‘This man is the lord of Riveron.’
On the outside he had an impression of being slovenly and well-behaved due to war fatigue but his thin voice filled with lack and anxiety feels like a ticking time bomb. It seems emotionally precarious.
“Ah Phantasus! Did you bring me the head of the dragon that killed my father?”
The eyes of the young lord who asked this were bright. Phantasus shook his head.
“Didn’t I tell you my lord. If you kill the dragon a great war between mankind and dragons will break out.”
“Oh war. War! That’s right!”
The lord gestured with an exaggerated gesture and slightly winked one eye.
“Liberon is still at war! A lot of people have died. Wouldn’t it be worse if we had another war here? Are you ignoring my earnest request just because you’re afraid of war? Hero Pantasus!”
“It’s not just Riveron’s problem. The entire continent will burn with fire.”
Phantasus calmly continued.
“Why don’t you know that’s what the ‘Society’ that is staining the continent with chaos wants?”
“Death? Um death.”
The young lord tilted his head and shook his head. He scratched his whitish beard with his fingertips and said with clear eyes filled with madness.
“What does that have to do with us?”
“…yes?”
“It’s a problem because you guys Kizen are trying to worry about seeing too many things. Right now let’s list the realities in front of us.”
He raised his finger and pointed at the ceiling.
“Four weeks ago the ‘first fire’ descended and the roof of the castle collapsed killing my father the lord instantly.”
“….”
“My whole body was crushed and I barely saved my neck. Not only my father but countless citizens were burned to death. The most prosperous city in the region everything my family had built their whole life was in ruins in an instant. “
His fingers twitched.
“Even at this moment the ‘Crazy Dragon’ is spewing hellfire at us and ordering the monsters to destroy the city. We are only suffering. Why? Because it is a dragon. If you kill a dragon by mistake the entire dragon world will be destroyed. Because you can turn them into enemies. A bigger war might break out.”
bang!
He jumped up from his seat and cried out as if pleading.
“What the hell does that have to do with me! Aren’t you the famous hero Phantasus lately! You’ve saved countless regions! Then save us too! Yes? Why are you doing this only to us! Why are you leaving us as scapegoats for the sake of the world? !”
He shook his head and cried out in agony.
“Please save us too!!”
Phantasus bit his lip. Simon looked at him sadly.
A great lord screaming in pain and a hero trying to prevent a bigger war.
Simon could understand either side.
“Please wait a little longer. We will organize an expedition tomorrow.”
At the words of Phantasus the lord sat down without power.
“Are you going to get rid of the mad dragon?”
“…I’m going to stop the war lord.”
Phantasus answered honestly.
“Perhaps the other dragons are also watching the situation. Let’s negotiate with them.”
Heh heh heh
The lord smiled darkly.
“It’s a deal so it doesn’t look like you intend to kill the mad dragon after all.”
“….”
“I’m sorry but we can’t stop the war now Phantasus. An army will descend from the kingdom.”
The eyes of Simon and Phantasus widened at the same time.
Now that the entire continent is in chaos because of the association I thought that even the army would not have the capacity to move.
But what about the military?
“On the condition that we return all of our family’s rights in this province to the kingdom a sizable army will move and come to slay the mad dragon.”
“Why did you do that!”
In the end Pantasus’ anger burst.
“You can’t catch a dragon with an army! Only the lives of precious young people will be sacrificed!”
“So- that’s what I want to know.”
The lord who had already abandoned everything and gave up gave a self-deprecating smile.
Seeing him caressing his dead father’s skull he no longer showed any enthusiasm for the future.
The moment the ceiling of the lord’s castle collapsed and family tragedy struck he became a person who was caught and subordinated to the past.
The present and the future are always good.
“There are four days left until the kingdom’s army arrives.”
He spread his four fingers.
“Until then do something like an expedition. When the kingdom army arrives war will be unavoidable. Killing the mad dragon is perfect and if they are annihilated thousands of people will die in a cataclysm so war unconditionally. Death Witch and Kizen also move. It can’t be because that’s an agreement.”
“….”
“Strive Phantasus. And.”
The lord’s gaze returned.
“Kizen’s student council president.”
“….”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
The lord’s laughter mixed with self-deprecation echoed emptyly in the basement of the lord’s castle.
* * *
“I didn’t know you were this crazy!”
On the way out of the lord’s castle Phantasus muttered in a furious voice.
“At this rate the situation is only going to get worse! I need to hurry to organize the expedition.”
“I agree senior.”
Simon also nodded. Phantasus touched his shoulder.
“First of all I will move in various directions to delay the progress of the army and find a way to prevent a war.
Phantasus pulled the interview date for the expedition without the slightest hesitation.
however.
“You two?”
An interview without the leader Phantasus. Embarrassed Simon continued.
“…Most of the people who participate in the expedition come to see your reputation will that be okay?”
“Ha ha ha ha! Of course! I recommended you to the position of president with my own eyes so you must have a good eye for people!”
‘What kind of logic is that?’
Simon was perplexed but whatever it was Phantasus laughed it off.
“Don’t worry too much! There’s Aizel who was a year older than you so he’ll take care of himself! You’re enough to help him!”
Simon scratched his head.
“I’d love to be like that.”
* * *
The next morning was bright.
As Pantasus had planned in advance they decided to rent Riveron’s ‘Mercenary Office’ and conduct an interview with the expedition. Simon looked out the window with the student council president coat neatly maintained over his shoulder.
‘The line is really long.’
There were quite a number of applicants.
As much as they had to risk their lives to go out of the territory Phantasus bet quite a lot on the collection. Many necromancers who were fascinated by that part expressed their intention to participate.
‘Well I didn’t expect this much to come.’
After fixing his school uniform tie Simon looked in the mirror. It was my first time evaluating and selecting someone so I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
‘By the way what about Azel-senpai?’
Azel who was supposed to have an interview with her didn’t show up at the dorm. Simon glanced around her and found Eisel.
“Senior Azel!”
I have an interview in 20 minutes but what if there is no interviewer? Simon who was looking around went inside the mercenary office and asked if he had seen Eisel.
-I don’t know if it’s Azel-sama but I saw someone wearing a hood going towards the outdoor bathroom…
Simon ran straight to it.
When I opened the door I saw that only one door in the bathroom was locked.
“Senior Azel! Are you there?”
At that word I heard a groaning sound from inside. Simon sighed and he went towards it.
“You heard what Phantasus senior said. Today I’m going to be the interviewer for the expedition…”
Whii-i-!
A sudden gust of wind blew shaking Simon’s hair. He said ‘Ugh’ and raised his arms to cover his face and after a while the wind stopped.
Simon realized that there were no people in the bathroom and ran outside.
jerk jerk.
I saw a large man in a robe walking beside me. Simon smiled softly then he walked over and grabbed his shoulder and pressed it against him.
“Senior Azel!”
Immediately Azel shook her head as her height shrank like a deflated balloon.
“Poem Simon!”
The hood lifted revealing a youthful young face. But his eyebrows were drooping like those of a frightened puppy and his pupils were full of fear.
“I’m suddenly hungry…”
“You were just in the bathroom.”
“I suddenly left it at the dorm…”
“I’ll send someone to get it.”
Big.
Azel swallowed crying.
“Ah you know! I don’t have confidence in appearing in front of people! Leave me out!”
Simon laughed bitterly.
‘…This person hasn’t grown up at all.’
Eisel’s face turned red as if she felt her junior’s gaze.
“This going around in my original form like this is the biggest change for me! People’s personalities don’t change easily!”
Agel put down the fake image he always tried to be perfect for and learned how to reveal himself in front of others as he is.
It’s certainly a remarkable change Simon admits. However it seemed that his innately timid personality hadn’t changed yet.
‘Your skill is so outstanding.’
Simon was thinking about it when the office clerk shouted.
“Student President! Interview starts soon!”
“Yes I’ll go!”
Simon looked at Eisel.
I didn’t want to increase my worries for the busy Pantasus. He had to get him there somehow.
“I have something to tell you senpai.”
