Chapter 260
With evolutionary characteristics, the life of the Strongest Necromancer (260)
Clue
Tower gradually became stable.
Compared to the beginning, the number of people in the tower was able to take turns resting due to the attacks of the black people, which had drastically decreased.
“A lot of them died.”
Cryson, who checked the documents next to me, murmured.
“How much?”
“Ah, out of a total of 2210 personnel, 563 are dead. A quarter has been sacrificed.”
Cryson looked carefully at me and said.
After being educated once, it wasn’t like him to act cautiously in front of me.
If you look at it, he also said something bad to Namgoong Ilyoung, but did I treat him too harshly?
“Do you know what the other forces are like?”
“Except for the Rune faction, I think everyone suffered quite a bit of damage. As far as I know, Rune’s forces are so small from the beginning and they don’t die easily, so there’s no damage.”
The atmosphere was definitely sluggish.
As much as I lived in the confined space of the tower, the people I knew across the street would have died.
Since they were all gathered together in a small area, it was just that the decrease was not obvious.
widely!
“comeback… … .”
Diene entered, looking half-dead.
She worked longer hours than others, and according to her, she was struggling with her own abilities, saying that with responsibilities comes a lot.
‘It doesn’t make any sense from my point of view, but that’s Diene.’
That black land was related to the transcendent.
No matter how hard Diene worked, it didn’t seem like this situation would be resolved.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“uh. I’ll go in and get some rest. Vivian, can you help me take this off?”
She said, pointing to the chain mail covering her body.
Diene, who can use space magic, has always been heavily armed.
“huh. Adrias, I’ll be back for a while.”
Vivian looked at me and told me not to go anywhere.
Vivian has been trying hard not to separate from me lately, but I couldn’t get rid of her because I had a history of wrongdoing.
“I don’t know how long this situation will last.”
As Diene and Vivian disappeared into the room, Cryson sighed.
Right now, I have nothing to say because I don’t have a solution.
‘I wish the original sin would open its mouth a little more.’
This guy comes out of nowhere and then suddenly disappears.
I wish I could tell you more, but after all, a thirsty guy is digging a well, so I’ll have to step out and check it myself.
For now, I refrained from taking action, thinking that they might be aiming for the original sin.
Like the last time, the monsters that I and Ilyeong Namgung had to step forward for didn’t appear, but I could confirm that they were still conscious of me.
bang!
“Mr Cryson!”
Someone hurriedly opened the door and came inside.
It was a member of Rodlene’s faction, but he soon checked me and put on an expression that it was all right.
“I have information that needs to be conveyed urgently.”
“What?”
“It is a message that Garnet and Mirva found something inside the Black Land. Right now, the leaders of each faction were also told to gather at the conference hall.”
“You found something?”
Cryson looked at me habitually.
He looked at me as if I knew something, but I didn’t know anything because I had just heard about it for the first time.
“Let’s go.”
I’m sorry Diene, who just went to rest, but I’ll have to take her too.
* * *
The leaders of each faction had already gathered in the conference hall.
Cryson looked at him and frowned.
“Did you call us last?”
“There was just no one around to pass on information to Rodlene’s forces, so don’t get upset again.”
Melato glared at Cryson and gave him a look as if to sit down.
I also wanted to hear that information right away, so I gently grabbed Cryson’s shoulder.
“Let’s hear the story first.”
“All right.”
It’s also polite to me.
When Cryson calmed down without any resistance to my words, the people around me looked at me with interest.
Cryson, what kind of life did you lead?
“It looks like everyone has gathered, so let’s start the meeting.”
Garnet opened her mouth.
After waking up, I went to see Garnett a few times, but each time I was uncomfortable avoiding me strangely, but I could still see him trying to avoid eye contact with me.
After all, it wasn’t just me. Garnet could have stayed in that fake world.
It’s only natural that you hate me.
“I searched inside the Black Land, one day away from Mirva. To begin with, we found a huge circular sphere there.”
“A circular sphere?”
“It was exactly an oval shape. It was like an egg.”
Alra… … .
It was a strangely ominous feeling.
“It was a little over 3 meters in size and was covered with the same material as the black earth. I tried to get a little closer, but there were so many monsters around me that I had no choice but to check it from afar.”
“I don’t know what it is, but it’s suspicious in that there are so many monsters and they’re guarding it?”
Khan murmured.
It was, I think, something beyond dubious.
Everything has a cause and purpose. Of course, considering that the other person was an unknown transcendent, it might not have meant anything, but at least it was something worth investigating.
“So, once again, I plan to organize an expedition properly and conduct an exploration. It’s about recruiting applicants.”
This time, Mirva stepped in.
Mirva continued by pointing to Garnet, Melato, and even Daphran.
“All of the leaders of our Rune faction will attend. Because we are immortals, we are more effective in such a dramatic environment.”
“I go too. If I go, Tsaganjer will, of course, go too.”
Khan said.
After his words, the people who had expressed their participation looked at the remaining people.
“As you know, I have no arms. Let’s try to persuade Mendlaine or Bethel instead.”
They were known to be the strongest in the Ceres faction.
At Jordan’s words, attention was now focused on the last remaining Rodlen forces and midfield forces.
“My magic will help.”
Diene took the lead by example.
And the way she looked at me was, of course, believing that I would participate.
“I’ll think about it a bit.”
“Kuhm.”
As soon as I finished my answer, troubled eyes were sent here and there.
It was as if the reaction was unexpected, but it was an unavoidable choice.
They do not know the identity of the opponent and do not know the purpose.
As far as the purpose, I don’t know, but knowing that original sin can provoke them, I had no choice but to be cautious.
“Adrias.”
Diene quietly called my name.
“It is not that I will not participate. Please give me some time.”
When everyone looked at me with dissatisfied faces, only three people reacted differently.
Vivian nodded as if she had made a good decision, and Namgoong Ilyoung was looking at me with a strange look.
Finally Garnet.
Garnet, whose eyes met for the first time in a long time, did not avoid my gaze and stared at me with an expressionless face.
‘Garnet knows the identity of the enemy.’
Because I told you in that fake world.
You think I know something and you look at it that way.
Anyway, I didn’t mean not to act at all.
Do I have to do something to get out of the tower?
It was still within the margin of error of the time I had planned, but if it was delayed further, I couldn’t coordinate important episodes in the outside world.
“Our forces will not participate.”
I was awakened from my thoughts by the voice of Ilyoung Namgung.
His sudden remarks were such that even those in his powers were surprised.
“Do young master?”
“Anyway, isn’t that the case?”
Rather, the figures of the central plains rebelled against Namgung Il-yeong, but he was determined.
“No one participates. If you violate this, I will cut your throat myself.”
“young master!”
When the situation was like this, I couldn’t bear to say anything from other forces.
He just looked at Namgoong Ilyoung with eyes full of doubt.
“May I ask Namgoong Ilyoung why you made that choice?”
But Diene was different.
Namgung Ilyeong looked at her with a languid gaze at her bold question and sighed.
“Because it is dangerous. That’s all.”
“I know everything is dangerous. But just staying still doesn’t mean the situation will be solved, right? Others are taking risks.”
“If you want to swear at me for being selfish, feel free to do so. However, we will not participate.”
At that time, the old man who was assisting Namgung Ilyeong raised his hand.
“I will participate.”
“Jo Seung.”
Namgung Ilyeong quietly called him by name and warned him, but Jo Seung did not give up.
“I know why you are saying this. It must be because of Guild.”
“… … Jo, don’t make me angry.”
“You don’t know how happy Guil was when he saw the boy’s recent change. You know what? Guil wasn’t happy that he could get out of the tower. I just liked the way you moved.”
“Shut up your mouth, sir.”
The inside of the meeting room became cold as ice.
Namgung Ilyeong’s anger was something that no one wanted, but no one could stop it and watched the conversation with a tense expression.
“Everyone under your command is like that. Do you remember, Bocchan? When I first came here with the Bocchan, everyone didn’t like the Bocchan. To be honest, it was as if I was demoted because of you. But now, everyone thinks of you as if they were your own body.”
Namgung Ilyeong glared at Jo Seung with a bleak face.
But I couldn’t stop Jo Seung’s mouth with just my eyes.
“Because now everyone knows what kind of person you are. And we feel very sorry for them. In the midfield, there is no one who knows the true nature of the young master except for those who have graduated from the Tower.”
“What do you want to say, sir?”
“I want you to move. I hope that the boy regains his honor in the vast midfield Moorim, not in this small world.”
I also did not know the details of Namgung Ilyoung.
I knew that he came simply to manage and supervise the midfield forces in the tower, but when I think about it, it was inefficient for such a strong person to be used only as a management of the forces inside the tower.
It was clear that his family did not properly grasp his skills.
Or maybe he just isn’t going back.
“I am of the same opinion as Jo Seung-nim, young master.”
“Shin Kwak Do-young. The same opinion comes!”
Namgung Ilyeong’s subordinates prostrated themselves one by one and shouted.
Ilyeong Namgung, watching the scene, finally let out a sigh.
“Stupid bastards. Did you want to go into the limb like that?”
“Buy it! Wherever you are with your lord, heaven comes. ha ha ha!”
Smiles appeared on the lips of the subordinates who prostrated together at Kwak Do-young’s cheerful laughter.
“ha. Did you all hear?”
Namgung Ilyoung turned his head and spoke to the other forces.
“Now that it’s like that, let me and all the guys here go together.”
“It is a wise choice.”
Mirva nodded enthusiastically with a happy face.
It must be a good thing in many ways to be with the strongest of the tower.
As soon as the participation of the midfield forces was decided in an instant, the eyes turned to me again.
why what what are you looking at
“Then let’s finish the meeting.”
Garnet aptly ended the meeting.
For Garnet, who doesn’t want to go with me, it would be better if I didn’t participate.
But what can I do?
I had business with Garnet.
“Garnet.”
When everyone was about to get up and leave, I approached Garnet and stopped him.
Garnet tried to ignore my call, but she had no choice but to stop, perhaps feeling the prickly stares around her.
“Why is that?”
“Can we talk for a minute?”
“… … All right. Please follow me.”
Vivian tried to follow her, but after a moment of forgiveness, she entered the quiet room alone with Garnet.
“What are you doing?”
“Garnet, as I told you the other day, I have a vague idea of the cause of this phenomenon.”
“Are you talking about the Transcendent?”
“yes.”
I put off the words that I couldn’t participate because of my original sin and told Garnet.
“Did you see me dealing with the undead last time?”
“Undead?”
“My soldiers I summoned.”
“Ah, I know. Are you hiding it?”
“That’s right.”
You don’t seem to know what an undead is.
Rather good.
“I have a favor to ask of Garnet regarding those soldiers.”
