Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 976:
The deep basement of Fortress Broderick.
Right here, Lethe and Lisara came down. Lisa was sitting in her seat concentrating, and Lethe was sweating profusely and setting up a magic circle around her.
“I think I was quite lost in the early days of becoming a saint.”
She tapped one of the magic circles spread out in the air with her fingertips, nodded, and then moved on to the next magic circle.
“My power kept leaking out when I didn’t want it to, and I once dropped a star in my sleep and burned down the storehouse. “After completing this process, I was able to control it properly.”
Israfil studied the essence of the saint for a long time. One of the results was a control spell to control the runaway power of the saint.
A magic circle so complex and strong that Lethe, an active saint, was exhausted, was spread out in the basement.
Lisara, who was watching, spoke in a trembling voice.
“If I take this, will I get better too?”
“There is a possibility. of course.”
Lethe smiled brightly.
“Is it going to be so painful that you feel like you just want to give up and die?”
“…yes.”
Lisara was calm.
“I’m still thinking that way.”
Even at this moment, numerous scenes were passing through Lisara’s eyes.
Disgust, anger, and fear on people’s faces.
Lisara obsessively slapped both cheeks and covered her face.
Lethe asked vaguely.
“Can you do it?”
“Of course!” “Now not only my life is at stake, but yours too!”
“It’s a good sword to be mentally armed with.”
When Lethe flicked her fingertips, the magic circles floating in the air rang out one after another, making a ting-ting-ting sound like piano keys.
“I think you’re ready now, so sit down.”
“yes!”
Ugh—
then Lethe’s head turned. The color of the barrier surrounding the entire fortress changed and vibrated lightly. Her eyes narrowed.
“intruder?”
***
Shootaaaaaaa—
the battle is about to begin.
Simon and Broderick were talking while looking out the window at the rain.
“You weren’t a selected student either.”
Simon nodded.
“I am an investigator who was called by Saint Lethe to investigate this case. “I’m sorry for unintentionally deceiving you, Professor.”
“Actually, I knew it from the beginning.”
Broderick smiled, showing his teeth.
-It doesn’t really matter what your identity is anymore. Brothers must major in water science. certainly!
“There is no way you, with such natural ability, are just a selection!”
“…haha.”
“But isn’t your job as an investigator temporary? “I think my main job is somewhere else.”
Simon was stingy, but he spoke naturally.
“Why do you think that?”
“It didn’t have the businesslike atmosphere typical of mercenaries. Above all, the attitude of actively accepting knowledge! “I thought he was someone who was involved in research or education.”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Simon.
“So I thought you were a real disciple. “As long as you have taken my class even once, you have become a priest with me.”
“Of course.”
“I risk my life to protect my students. Just as I am sacrificing my life for my disciple, Saint Lisara. And I haven’t given up yet! “I don’t know what you’re doing!”
He opened his mouth wide.
“If you want to major in water protection, feel free to come!”
‘…You really haven’t given up yet.’
Buzz…
At that time, I felt a vibration in the barrier.
Broderick jumped up from his seat.
“Someone passed the barrier.”
“Already?”
It was too early to be caught yet.
“Luckily, only one person came in. “Let’s go out.”
Simon and Broderick immediately went outside the mansion.
Through the maze-like garden, a man with a black umbrella was walking along a field of grass soaked in the rain.
Simon immediately grabbed the necklace around his neck and prepared for battle, but Broderick stopped him.
“Don’t worry! “Because we are allies.”
Simon blinked.
‘There was another helper?’
Broderick smiled brightly and spread his arms.
“Are you here! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The man who soon came closer also lightly hugged Broderick. Seeing that there was no hostility, Simon also took his hand off the necklace.
Then the black umbrella was lifted and the man’s face was revealed.
She looked old, but her face was incredibly beautiful. Every wrinkle was ideally positioned, and it was dignified yet overflowing with style.
And the flowing ivory hair seen beyond the umbrella. It was undoubtedly a face he had never seen before, but Simon was caught in a strange sense of déjà vu.
“I heard the story from Broderick.”
After saying hello to Broderick, he approached Simon. His mouth opened and a slightly hoarse voice rang out.
“You said you were looking for me.”
Soon, the umbrella is completely tilted back and the moment we meet emerald eyes.
Simon’s heart pounded loudly.
“nice to see you. “My name is Gafen Andoria, a professor at Afnel.”
***
Broderick was the only person who knew about Gahyun’s hideout.
Having made an appointment with Simon, he sent a letter to Gafen, asking him to come up for something he urgently needed help with.
That’s how the story came up, but Broderick is involved in the Lisa issue.
After listening to Broderick’s explanation, Gahyeon obediently nodded.
“Broderick, you are not the one to tell lies. If you choose to serve that saint with faith, I will also believe in that saint.”
“As expected, Professor Gahyeon! Thank you so much! “Hehehe!”
Although the age difference was quite large, the two seemed to have a close relationship within Afnel.
Since Broderick risked his life, I thought he was not an ordinary person when he said that he would also risk his life without the slightest hesitation.
After another reunion hug, Broderick said.
“Hmm! Then I will make room for you! “I want to repair the barrier before the battle begins!”
So Broderick made room.
Simon and Gafen sat across from each other at the table. The old man with graying ivory hair smiled softly.
“Is there something you want to say to me?”
“….”
Gahyun.
There is a fence in front of you.
But when I see him in front of me, I am speechless. What should I say? How should I open the topic? Gafien probably doesn’t even know the name Cerne.
‘No, don’t make it complicated. ‘Take a simple approach.’
Simon tore open a notebook, put it on the table, and then quickly drew something with a quill pen.
It was a ‘white feather’, a symbol of Cerne and a by-product of her supernatural ability.
“if.”
Then he held out a blank piece of paper with a feather drawn on it in front of him.
“About a baby abandoned 17 years ago. “Do you know anything?”
A story that seems a bit out of nowhere.
But Gahyeon reacted right away.
His pupils fluttered as if a natural disaster had occurred, and he stared at the feather Simon had drawn for a long time.
Then.
“That baby.”
A cracked voice came out of his mouth.
“Are you alive?”
Simon nodded silently. Immediately, Gafen shook his head a couple of times as if he was choking, but then he apologized to Simon and turned his head.
After some time had passed, the real Gafen opened his mouth.
“I never thought I would hear about that baby at this age.”
He said, tilting his head back.
“I won’t ask anything. “If he’s alive, that’s fine.”
But I was curious about the situation here. Simon nodded and continued.
“If you don’t mind, I’m curious about what happened.”
“Yes, of course I have to tell you.”
Gafien began to speak in a cracked voice.
Cernet was Gahyun’s granddaughter.
And the young couple, who were Gahyun’s son and daughter-in-law and Serne’s parents, gave birth to Serne. Watching young Cernet grow up was the family’s pride and happiness.
but.
-A baby who will later become a saint was born.
An incident occurred that shook everything completely.
-She will overthrow the Holy See and gain new power. In her reign, no one will be able to think, speak, or have will.
The famous ‘Nun of Revelation’ gave a revelation.
That too was a revelation of treason.
The entire Vatican and Epnel were shocked and began to move to find the baby.
Gafen also learned about the revelation because he was at Epnel at the time. And the Sister of Revelation pointed to an area, which was the hometown of her family.
Just then, he heard the news in his hometown that his son and daughter-in-law were having a child.
Gahyeon, who received an ominous intuition, immediately wrote a letter and told his son and daughter-in-law to avoid it.
After a while, Gahyeon went down and met his son, daughter-in-law, and baby who were hiding in the countryside, and heard a shocking story.
-When I come to my senses, this child is doing what he wants.
The baby kept asking for something sweet, so I put the candy on the shelf, but when I came to my senses, I found myself taking it and offering it to the baby.
The baby was begging the villagers who were busy farming to play with him, but when he came to his senses, the villagers had abandoned their farming and were waving toys around the baby. This wasn’t the first time this happened.
More than anything.
-The essence of the saint is targeting the child.
The saint’s essence, which has been wandering around without choosing its owner for several months after the saint’s recent death, is hovering around Cerne like waiting for a child to grow up.
Everything fit together.
Even the ability to control others appeared even as a baby.
‘If the saint’s essence chooses the baby like this, everything will end.’
Murder of a saint.
This was already happening many times in the world. Afnel and the entire Holy Federation army are looking for the child like catching a mouse. You can’t hide a child all your life.
So in the end, Cerne’s parents made their choice.
There is only one way to save a child and that is to send it to neutral territory.
Sernet’s parents ran through countless chases and attacks to reach the border of the neutral zone.
Now the soldiers were chasing them, and the parents put the child in a basket and sent him floating down the river.
That was the end.
After that, there was no news from the parents or the child.
“Becoming a saint is a blessing, but it is also a death sentence.”
Gahyun said in a confused voice.
“And the latter is due to human circumstances. After being chosen by Jeong Soo, he must next be chosen by the people and those in power. “Is that child an enemy or friend? Isn’t he a threat to us?”
Simon also nodded.
I remembered the time when Lethe became a saint. Israfil made Lethe move around the Federation to a degree that made him feel harsh.
Without a break, he greeted bishops and high priests from all over the world and made sure to show his face to the people.
In the process, Lethe suffered greatly and complained that she felt like she had become an attractive doll.
But there was a reason for Israfil’s actions.
There was always a risk that the saint would be killed by opposing factions before she fully grew up and took her place. Letting Lethe be known to as many people as possible and having as many people believe in her was a burden to those who wanted to kill Lethe. In other words, everything was done to save Lete.
“That’s why I told Broderick that I would immediately help after hearing Saint Lisara’s story.”
Gafen sighed deeply.
“I thought that tragedies like that child’s should no longer happen. “The meaning of light should not be altered to suit human tastes.”
“I agree.”
“If we win here and survive.”
Gafen opened the sacred subspace and held out something to Simon.
A photo containing a photo of your family.
And it was a golden artifact.
“Could you please tell that to the child?”
“….”
Simon accepted it.
“Yes, definitely.”
Knock knock!
At that time, I heard a pounding on the wall from afar. Outside, Broderick holding an umbrella was saying something.
Simon ran and opened the window.
“Professor Broderick!”
“Get ready, both of you!”
Broderick’s expression became serious.
“Because I think I was discovered by them!”
***
Tap, tap, tap.
A luxurious silver carriage was driving in the rainy darkness.
Inside, Dana, the Saint of Judgment, was looking out the window with her chin resting.
“Even my only hobby while on vacation is being taken away like this.”
The bishop sitting across from Dana bowed his head and said.
“…I apologize. “Please cut off the head of my inadequate subject.”
“What about the Vatican?”
“Even though it was a battle to subdue demons, we did not send troops.”
Dana laughed after hearing that.
“Pope, that clever old man. “I guess they will sit back and wait and see, then raise the hand of the winner.”
“….”
“What is the new saint’s whereabouts?”
In response to Dana’s question, the general manager continued speaking quickly as if he had been waiting.
“There is no trace of it leaving Sky Island. The search in the central area is over and the outlying areas are being searched thoroughly. “We will find it within an hour.”
“….”
Dana crossed her legs and tilted her head.
Although he didn’t say anything, the bishop opened his mouth, sweating profusely.
“Currently, there is a 3:3 balance between hardliners and moderate saints. The Harvest Maiden claims to be neutral, but we have recently received information that she is strongly connected to Israfil. The importance of the last saint goes without saying. “The scales will be tipped.”
“Have you not considered the possibility that the new saint may be on our side?”
“…There was no room to worry.”
The general affairs bishop bowed his head even further.
“Lisa is from the minority group Frisfell. “They have a grudge against us for their ‘ethnic cleansing policy’ due to past suspicions of heresy.”
“I heard. “The reason Lisara was selected as a starter in the first place was actually a means of keeping Freezepel and their forces in check, right?”
Dana raised her eyes.
“Even ‘ethnic cleansing’ was something you carried out while you were in the field, blinded by performance. “Should I, who’s on vacation, go out of my way to clean up your poop?”
The bishop trembled with a stiff expression on his face, and immediately hit his head on the floor of the carriage.
“Please cut off the head of my incompetent servant!”
Even though the saint is above all believers under the Pope, it is abnormal for the Bishop General, one of the core of power, to show such a humble attitude.
However, Dana rested her chin in a natural reaction.
There was a heavy silence.
The head bishop was closing his eyes tightly with his forehead pressed against the floor, as if he was prepared to lose his head.
“I have a child I want to raise.”
“!”
“He was doing the same thing I did when I was young.”
The bishop who heard those words shook his head! I heard a sound.
“Please just head to the headquarters! No matter who it is or how precious it is, we will do whatever it takes to give it to the saint…!”
“He appears to be a starter this year. Starting number 10.”
Dana’s lips, with red lipstick, opened.
“Is it called Euclid?”
The bishop’s face went from blue to white.
“Saint Dana! “He is…!”
“Why again this time?”
Dana’s voice became heavy.
“Are you planning to disappoint me?”
The bishop’s legs trembled. Soon, a strained voice escaped from the corner of her mouth.
“When everything is over, I will hand it over to the saint.”
“That’s right.”
At that time, I heard a horse neighing outside the window and the sound of a carriage stopping.
“Saint Dana.”
The paladin driving the carriage outside the window opened his mouth.
“We have arrived on the scene.”
“okay.”
She came out of the carriage holding a sword.
Outside, countless Holy Federation troops were waiting with swords, spears and torches.
A civil war is about to begin.
