Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 167

Episode 167. The World Tree

“Ugh!”

“Give it!”

The destination was the border between the village and the forest.

I could see the elves closely adjoining the borders of the village, and the ghwanin tribes growling at those elves.

“Elf meat is tasteless!”

“Why did you come to our village!”

The phantoms that came only up to the waist were crowded and quarreling, but the elves lined up in an orderly manner were silent, wearing face helmets of unknown material.

An elf, the only one who showed his face, stood in front of them, but he did not respond at all to the words of the Hwanin tribe.

“Say something!”

“Why did you come to my house!”

“ok! Merkur! Merkur is here!”

At the appearance of Merkur and I, all eyes were focused in an instant.

“Mercourt! Merkur! Elves are invading!”

“Elf is not tasty! You have to kick them out!”

“Give me!”

Contrary to their cute appearance, seeing the Hwanin tribe frothing at the mouth and screaming like fanatics, the elf who was at the forefront shook his head and said,

“It’s been a while Merkur.”

Seir Moraje Frasilia A man who is also called the second star of the wind.

He was also the leader of the Wind Knights organized by the Great Forest Elves.

‘That bastard is that guy.’

And it was the elf that I remembered as the villain who was in charge of one axis of the main story.

“Seir, what kind of wind blew today and came to you suddenly? Nothing was promised in advance.”

“I apologize for the sudden visit.”

“So what’s the matter?”

His machine-like gaze turned to me.

“I heard that two humans and a vampire recently visited this town. As a vigilante in the Great Forest, I came to confirm.”

“A vigilante? That’s a term that only works in your guys’ realm. How dare you say such arrogant words in front of me?”

Merkur fired at him with a displeased expression he had never seen before.

Seeing things like this, the relationship between the elves and the Hwanin tribe didn’t look very good.

In fact, no matter where I go in Daesoorim, there are no good friends.

At least, beastmen form alliances with each other and sometimes give and receive help, but the case of other races was an exception.

Among them, elves in particular were famous for being exclusive to other races.

‘Aristocrat of the forest.’

There could be no better word to describe an elf.

In a good or bad way, the elves were the ones who deserved the title of nobility.

“You misinterpreted my words. The important story now is that outsiders have invaded this Great Forest.”

“Who speaks carelessly to my guests? And since when did you guys care about this, now you’re meddling? If you don’t back down, I won’t stand it any longer.”

Mercury bared his fangs and drew a sword from his staff.

However, despite such threats, Seir did not hesitate to say what he had to say.

“It seems that you are the human who invaded this land this time. Where are the rest?”

I shrugged.

“I do not know.”

I really didn’t know where it was.

I don’t always have to check where Maximin and Isabelle are, so how would I know?

We had dinner together yesterday and haven’t seen each other today.

“The Merkur Vampire is a dangerous being. Please act wisely.”

“upstart. Seir, I don’t know since when you were in a position to give me advice.”

After saying that, Seir turned around.

I quietly opened my mouth to the action, as if I had come to check it out.

“The elves dared to come to the borders of other races’ territories and demonstrate force….”

He must have heard me, but Seir didn’t even react.

But since he wasn’t asking me to listen in the first place, I continued to mutter as if I was talking to myself.

“It doesn’t make sense that only three outsiders came, did something go wrong in the elven realm?”

widely.

Seir’s movements stopped.

At the same time, the eyes of the knights he had brought were focused on me.

“For example…Is it the world tree?”

“If you make fun of a human mouth, you can die.”

“Ah did you hear? I muttered that I was trying to reason alone.”

When I spoke with a stern face, Seir’s already expressionless face cracked.

“If you were not in the realm of the Hwanin tribe, you would have died dozens of times more.”

“How can people die dozens of times? Seeing how sensitive they are, it seems like the elves are really in trouble.”

“Shut up.”

Seir turned around as if he would no longer deal with me.

The raccoons who watched the scene burst into cheers.

“haha! An elf who loses to a human!”

“As expected, delicious people are different! It’s nothing like a tasteless elf!”

Now is not the time to be happy.

I wanted to leave something that could somehow involve the elves here.

To do so, he had to provoke someone belonging to that order, not Seir.

“It’s really no problem, right? Do you know, maybe a human like me can help?”

“Ignore that man’s words. We are withdrawing.”

“Well, if the problem was urgent enough to get help from humans, they would have asked for help from other races right away. I’m glad it doesn’t look too serious. Please rest assured that we will be leaving the Great Forest soon.”

He said that he would try to speak with provocation and appeal as much as possible, but if he said too much information, he could become suspicious, so this was the best.

If there is no response even after this, I have no choice but to let go of this opportunity and find another opportunity… ….

“Wait.”

Someone from the Wind Knights came forward.

Seir eventually frowned and gestured.

“Aimir, your current status is a knight of the wind. Don’t step out, back away.”

“I’m sorry, Captain. But I am an elf before a knight of the wind. Now is not the time to think about honor by arguing about old-fashioned restraints and traditions.”

The knight who took off his helmet was a woman.

Her hair, which had been rolled up, poured like a golden waterfall as she took off her helmet.

“Aymir! That’s not your decision. It is a matter for the elders and priests to decide.”

“As a candidate for the next high priest, I think I am fully qualified to bring this up. Doesn’t the captain know that if we leave it as it is, we won’t be able to come up with any solution?”

“Even if it is, that’s how we, the forest clan, do.”

they fight among themselves

Anyway, it was fortunate that the person I expected existed.

Even at this time, I wasn’t sure if Amir was a wind knight, but it turned out well.

“problem? Is there really something wrong?”

Merkur, who had been watching for a while, asked.

Then, Seir pretended not to hear, and the female elf, who showed her face, kept her mouth shut.

“Even though we can’t say we’re on good terms with you, the elves’ problems, especially those related to the World Tree, are a different story. As it is the world tree that supports this great forest, it is only natural that we will not be safe if there is a problem with the world tree.”

Merkur tapped the ground with his staff.

“I am not aware that this village and the territory of other races are also thanks to the World Tree you are managing. Please speak frankly.”

“As you said, Merkur, it is up to us elves to manage the World Tree. Other races don’t care.”

“her! Is there really something wrong with the World Tree? More than that, you don’t even listen to what I’m saying, Goyan.”

Seir, of course, would not cooperate.

It’s because no one else is creating this problem, but that guy and the organization he belongs to.

The target to target now was Amir, not Seir.

As she said, she was a candidate for the next high priest and the eldest daughter of the only two high elf families in the Great Forest.

widely!

“There is a problem with the World Tree?”

However, a voice came to blow away all these concerns at once.

Maximin, who appeared calmly as if he had come before he knew it, said with a rare expression of interest.

“I have never seen a world tree in my life.”

Isabelle was with him.

“vampire….”

Seir narrowed his eyes and was wary of Isabelle.

In fact, in terms of appearance, they looked similar to vampires, elves, and humans with far superior beauty.

The only difference is that one has long ears and the other has long fangs.

However, when they saw each other, it seemed that they could be distinguished from each other at once.

“Shall we start with Tongseongmyeong? I am Isabelle Lucifer. I am a direct descendant of the Lucifer family.”

Hearing Isabelle’s name, Seir could be seen trying to control his expression.

Come to think of it, there were also vampires inside the organization that planned the episode of the elves, so it wasn’t that vampires weren’t involved at all.

‘Maybe that’s why I came to check on Isabelle.’

It was said that it might be natural for Seir to be wary of vampires.

“The Lucifer family.”

Aimir was also watching Isabelle’s words with a nervous look.

“If you are a candidate for high priest, are you the daughter of the Palalem family? Let me know if you need help. While we’ve come this far, let’s see the world capital and help.”

“The World Tree is not a spectacle.”

“I am a direct vampire. Besides, I know a lot. do you know Can I or the people here solve your problem?”

Isabelle’s quiet words made Amir think as if he was in trouble.

However, Seir shouted as if nothing more would be heard.

“I was too late. come back!”

“hey.”

Whoo!

In an instant, the wind raged and stopped the elves trying to pass.

“Where are you going?”

Maximin muttered in a blunt but deadly voice.

“I have to answer and go.”

Come to think of it, the elves didn’t seem to recognize Maximin.

The other day, he said that he had finished the negotiations so that he could freely pass through the great forest, but he had never encountered the elves, the biggest force.

“I can’t decide here. But I will go back and talk and let you know how it goes.”

As Amir stepped forward, Maximin turned his gaze to Isabelle.

Isabelle nodded.

“all right. We will be staying here a little longer, so if you need help anytime, come here.”

“thank you.”

Soon after, the elves disappeared in an orderly manner, and the Hwanin tribe who were watching them shouted without notice.

“We defeated the elves!”

“We are strong! We are delicious!”

“it’s good!…it’s good?”

After foaming at the mouth and shouting with enthusiasm, Merkur wiped his face.

“Huh. If there really is a problem with the World Tree, it’s usually not a big deal. But how did you know that?”

“I didn’t know. I just stabbed it, but I was lucky.”

“Is it really?”

“I wonder if there have been any outsiders who have visited Daesoorim in the past. I heard that Maximin and Isabelle visited this place not too long ago. But at that time, I was just thinking about why the elves, who had never acted like this before, suddenly reacted so sensitively.”

In fact, you already know the story.

The world tree was now falling.

The infection that started from the root didn’t work until the World Tree was completely corrupted, and eventually the main episode related to this begins with the completely corrupted World Tree swallowing the Great Forest.

In fact, since the main episode proceeded in a state of corruption, it was not known when the problem started, but it seems that there were already signs at this point.

However, the old-fashioned Elves did not seek help from those around them and neglected them while the World Tree fell.

‘Is it possible that Amir will go and persuade him?’

I was honestly skeptical.

But recklessly stepping into the territory of the elves was like committing suicide, so there was no way I could do anything right now.

“I guess I’ll have to formally raise the agenda for the meeting to the Beast Alliance.”

“I wonder if elves will ever get help from other races.”

“ha. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to postpone tutoring you for a few days.”

“All right.”

From Harungel’s grave to the elves.

Unexpected things were surrounding me.

* * *

Four days have passed since the elves visited the Hwanin village.

Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t have expectations, but now, four days later, I was completely resigned.

‘If the Elves were a race that received or gave help so easily, that wouldn’t have happened.’

While Merkur was busy communicating with other beastmen races, only I was free.

In fact, I wanted to go to see Harungel’s tomb even from a distance, but even that was not possible because Merkur made a condition that he must accompany him unconditionally.

Eventually, I became a potion-making machine and served the raccoons for four days.

“Ohhhh! full of energy!”

A raccoon dog immediately ate the potion he received and screamed with his fur standing up.

Unfortunately, the potion he received from me was a curse immunity potion.

“Merkurda!”

“Mercure has come to steal humans again!”

“Fire the humans! Guarantee the potion!”

When I turned my head, Merkur was coming toward me.

“For what?”

“The elves have come. They are looking for you.”

Are the elves here?

It was surprising that the elves came back, but I wondered what they were talking about when they said they were looking for me.

First, we followed Merkur to his house.

“See you again.”

In Merkur’s treehouse, Amir, whom I had seen before, was with the elves who seemed to be escorts.

“Come to think of it, the greeting is late. My name is Aimir Karirigin je Palalem, the 15th generation of Palalem, the daughter of Karirigin.”

“This is Adrias Cromwell.”

Coincidentally, Maximin and Isabelle were also present.

Seeing that, I wondered if the elves were going crazy and decided to help.

“The reason I came here today is to invite you to our Rastilia.”

“Have you decided to get help?”

Isn’t this a configuration error?

No matter how you think about it, the reason the elves would suddenly get help… ….

“No. The only person we invite is Adrias Cromwell.”

“…yes?”

“The High Priestess of Rastilia wants to see you after receiving an oracle.”
