Episode 143. Adrias’ determination
The atmosphere changed dramatically with the appearance of Morn.
In a situation where Luna was already on my side, Jester’s embarrassed feelings came through when she defended me until she didn’t know.
“Why?”
“He is a child like my disciple.”
That’s not wrong. I grew up with his black magic book.
As Morne smiled and said, Jester, who had lost his fighting spirit, canceled the magic.
Morne’s Death Knight, who confirmed Jester’s renunciation, also stopped exuding a sense of presence and disappeared as if toppled to the ground.
It was the first Death Knight I had ever seen, not a game, but it seemed strong enough not to disappoint.
“I don’t understand. You lost money because of him. But why are you on his side?”
“I, the person in charge, say I’m fine, but do you have anything more to say?”
As Morne said, the bodies of Timur and Mirinae were Morne’s loss rather than the assembly’s loss. As such, there would have been no problem as long as Morn said it was okay, but it seems that his pride was hurt by what happened at that time.
“He doesn’t even belong to the assembly. Are you aware of that and act on it?”
“Jester, this old man advises.”
At first glance, a bloody light shone in the eyes of Morne, who was like a well-mannered old man.
“If you don’t want to get smashed, stop messing around.”
Kwajik!
As soon as Morne finished speaking, Jester folded the table next to him with magic.
Jester, who couldn’t bear to say anything to the unknown and only took out his anger, left the place.
“Don’t worry. I will come back anyway.”
Are you talking to me?
At first, he bowed his head.
It’s true that he helped me.
“It’s been a long time since I didn’t know.”
“okay. You are suffering too.”
As if there had been a commotion, Hegel naturally greeted me.
Seeing that the strangers were receiving it casually, I greeted them as well.
“It’s been a while, my godfather. I’m sorry that I got help right away after seeing you for the first time in a long time.”
“no. There is no need to make a big deal out of something insignificant. Jester is a proud guy, so you will understand.”
Instead of replying with a word of thanks.
I knew Jester was against me, but I didn’t want to provoke him just yet.
Jester and Morne clashed, but the banquet continued as if nothing had happened.
Looking at it like that, I could see that conflicts of opinion between warlocks often occurred.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary banquet of those who didn’t think of themselves as warlocks, but in my eyes, who already knew most warlocks, they were splendid warlocks.
‘I guess they invited most of them this time because they had time to spare.’
The meeting held at Morche’s nest had a really minimal number of people, so it can be said that this is a real meeting.
By the way, I wonder when the meeting, the real purpose of the rally, will be held.
“Is that guy that guy? To wield magic and a sword at the same time… ….”
“There are so many great guys out there. What is the level of black magic? Anyway, I heard that he was a disciple of Charon.”
“I heard Maximin Cronell came to the Empire to see him this time? What kind of ability do you have that even invited Citizen Maxim?”
“It seems Hegel-sama is also interested. I never thought that Luna Pendragon and Morn would take sides… ….”
I can hear you guys
It seemed that he was interested in me, a new face.
It must be strange to be here even though you are not a member of the assembly in the first place.
I was even dazed for a moment when I was invited.
“This is my friend.”
As I sat on one side of the table and watched the black magicians gossip about me, Luna was bringing food from earlier and recommending it to me.
Come to think of it, I was supposed to buy you some snacks, but I forgot.
It would be nice if the day came when I could walk around the city with Luna.
“thank you.”
I stumbled as I ate the unknown food Luna brought me.
Not bad.
“friend. Have you talked to the orc?”
“…Oak?”
He swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.
Have you ever talked to an orc? What do you mean?
“You imprinted your soul. Haven’t you tried it yet?”
“ah!”
What was it that you could talk to Al-Gourd?
Of course, I knew that I could use the necromancy with the imprinted soul because I had imprinted the soul.
Luna also taught me how to do it in Endeavor.
Thanks to my being a necromancer, I was able to learn basic necromancy easily, but I had never used it before.
‘I didn’t even think of using Krivmaher when fighting Kshane.’
Someday, if I had the chance, I wanted to use necromancy to talk to Al-Gurd, even if I wasn’t fighting. Even though he is an Orc, he is a superman who has stepped on the stage of an Auror Master, so he can get advice on swords.
dump.
As I was talking with Luna and Doran, Morn, who had been talking with other people for a while, came and sat next to me.
The other warlocks didn’t come up to me and talk to me, but only Luna and Morn were treating me casually.
‘It’s a bit pricked by my conscience.’
My feet went numb when I came face to face with the unknown.
The one who killed Charon was none other than me.
And Charon was Morn’s disciple.
It wasn’t known that I killed them, but I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for myself, who had always been helped by Morn.
“Oh, I’m old now, so I can’t talk for a long time. haha.”
“Go to Grandpa’s house and get some rest.”
Luna said as she rubbed Morne’s shoulder.
I don’t know if I was willing to do it, but I smiled warmly.
I quietly spoke to him.
“Godfather, isn’t there a dragon rare you told me about before?”
“hmm?”
Morn opened his eyes at my words and glanced around for a moment.
A few people were watching this side, but I didn’t care.
“My child, you have many eyes.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
I was telling you to listen.
When I answered casually, Morne looked at me as if looking inside me and smiled.
“i get it. Keep talking.”
“I just wanted to say thank you. Thanks to my godfather, I got some good stuff.”
“okay? I’m glad you found it helpful.”
I felt that he was considerate of me by not even asking what he got.
So I couldn’t help but ask this question more.
“So that’s what I’m saying…. Godfather, I want to ask you something.”
Ever since we first met, I’ve always been curious.
Why is Morn so kind to me?
No matter how much I searched through my childhood memories, I never had anything to do with him.
Still, if you see them helping you this far, there must be a connection somewhere.
I was just guessing that there might be a back story I didn’t know about or that it was a relationship with my ancestors.
“I want to know why you do this to me. I couldn’t help but be curious as the godfather gave me so much grace without paying anything in return.”
“Don’t worry, I’m just helping because I like you. There is nothing I want.”
He tried to avoid answering and sipped the wine in the glass next to him.
I wanted to ask more, but I held back when I saw his stubborn expression.
Even if I did ask, it didn’t seem like he would answer, and there was no need to bother with it, so I had no choice but to pass the topic.
“All right. By the way, I regret Professor Caron’s work.”
“Okay. I just put it in because I needed someone to plant at the academy anyway. There is nothing very regrettable about it. I’d rather ask if you’re okay. Still, since you are my teacher, I would have stayed with you.”
“yes. To be honest, since I attended the last meeting, it was difficult to have a conversation because we became distant. Thinking about it now, I regret it. We should have talked a little longer.”
I expressed my condolences by telling abominable lies.
Morn didn’t seem to care too much about Karon.
After all, Morn had more disciples besides Charon.
Among the black magicians who have come here, two of them have already stood out, so one Charon would be no big deal.
‘Isn’t the relationship between the teacher and the teacher very strong in the first place?’
Wizards had a strong selfish aspect.
It was no different from a black magician or a general wizard, but the reason for having a disciple was because he needed an assistant to help himself, and it was rare to have a disciple because he really thought he had to raise it.
Rather, it is correct to see it as a relationship that uses each other.
“Attention everyone.”
As the atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually matured, Hegel spoke from the middle of the banquet hall.
In the meantime, the eyes of the black magicians, who had acted like ordinary nobles, were focused in an instant.
“Now let’s move to a different location.”
At his words, the banquet hall was enveloped in silence.
Is it finally a meeting?
The waiting time has come.
As expected, I wondered if there would be a story about ‘Rage’.
“Before that, there’s something I need to point out.”
Hegel’s words were not over.
He spit out a story that was clearly aimed at me no matter who heard it.
“No matter what, it would be right for only those belonging to the assembly to participate in the next location. Isn’t it?”
“Right, right.”
“Of course!”
It will come out like this. Is this it?
Well, maybe I was too naive.
‘Still, I never thought I’d hit the back like this.’
I still don’t know what Hegel’s purpose is.
Seeing you come here and say that, I’m sure there’s something going on.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
he came slowly to me
The bizarre tattoo on his face continued to wriggle, but even though his expression didn’t change, an optical illusion as if he was smiling occurred.
“Would you mind making a decision now?”
“decision?”
“Okay decision. Decide whether to join the coven or to resign from here. You won’t be penalized for just stepping down. Did I just call you out of my personal greed?”
Hegel’s attitude wasn’t bad.
Rather, it was quite favorable.
Seeing him like that, it seemed that he really wanted me to come to the meeting.
‘Why the hell.’
what are you aiming for?
‘Original sin?’
no.
It was clear that only the emperor and his aides knew about the original sin.
Until now, the assembly must not have known the existence of original sin.
Perhaps, as long as I become Adrias and take away original sin and the future changes, the existence of original sin may never be known to the assembly.
Even if you can know the existence of the 7 sins, you can’t imagine that there is the 0th original sin.
‘Then what the hell are you trying to do with me? Did I catch greed?’
I bit my lip thinking about the sin for a while.
It doesn’t matter now.
People’s eyes are focused… ….
The time to make a decision was approaching.
Come to think of it, there was no reason to be reluctant to join the rally.
It is an undeniable fact that I am a necromancer anyway.
There, becoming a warlock belonging to the assembly did not change anything.
Nevertheless, I have been reluctant to join the rally.
‘I’ve always considered warlocks as enemies.’
Is it because of the gameplay experience?
Even though I am a warlock myself, I have always felt hostility towards warlocks.
Ironically, I thought I was different and separated myself from them.
“friend.”
Luna called me quietly and grabbed my collar.
As I hesitated to answer, she smiled and shook her head.
“You can’t do it if you don’t want to.”
If you think about it.
Luna was also a black magician belonging to the assembly.
‘Have I misunderstood something?’
As a warlock, I know that not all warlocks are bad.
None of them have a story, and there are probably not many cases where they learned black magic in a malicious way. In the first place, it was natural to be careful as rumors would spread quickly and be subjugated if such a thing was done.
‘In order to go through the next episode, the strength of the forces will be needed.’
The Free Knights, to which Louis, the first playable, belonged, as well as the other playables had their own family and magic tower power.
If so, where is it that I can’t use it?
“Have you made a decision?”
Heigel asked as if he had waited long enough.
With everyone’s eyes focused, I slowly opened my mouth.
“I will join the meeting.”
“Good choice. Welcome to the meeting.”
Hegel clapped.
Then, the other people who were looking at it began to clap one by one.
“Are you okay, friend?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
On the contrary, it has become very clean.
And I have a new goal.
‘This is how it happened… ….’
assembly.
I will try to make it mine.
