Chapter 280
The strongest necromancer with evolution characteristics (280)
Kingdom of corpses
“Lagoda!”
A voice broke the atmosphere and someone rushed out.
Then, he immediately jumped into a person presumed to be Rago and hugged him.
“Called!”
“It’s nice to see Luna.”
Come to think of it, Luna was there.
In fact, it was because of Luna’s death that I learned the fear of Rago.
Enraged by Luna, who would have been dead in the first place, Rago invaded the Holy Kingdom single-handedly and destroyed half of it.
Of course, after that, he was killed by Evan and the Aura Masters of the Holy Kingdom.
‘Is that going to be a story without that now?’
There was nothing that came out of the game.
I just know that he’s a strong warlock, because I’ve never really had to deal with him.
Before we even met, he had a big fight with Seongguk and died.
‘If I hadn’t been there, Luna would have gone with Lago.’
Is it like stealing a friend?
However, it was a meaningless assumption because I had no intention of losing Luna, who was like my niece.
“I haven’t heard of Rago coming.”
“You brought the kids as you wished. Don’t be too rigid.”
Paisy said, still covered by the hood.
I didn’t think much of it because I’d seen her looks in games anyway, but I wondered why she bothered to cover her up like that.
He doesn’t seem to be dissatisfied with his appearance.
“I still have more people left.”
“okay? When will you arrive?”
“I will be back soon.”
I didn’t have to worry because I arrived earlier than the scheduled time in the first place.
They weren’t people who would break their promise, so I leisurely looked at Paish’s party.
‘Two people.’
Including Paisy and Lago, there were four of them.
The other two also wore hoods, so I couldn’t identify them, but they didn’t look like ordinary people.
“What about the Kinein Mercenary Corps and other places?”
“It’s only you and me that we’ve decided to meet here. We will all join in from different places and then head to our destination.”
It’s tougher than you think.
It was an added bonus in that he hid information from me as well.
We’ll have to wait and see what kind of point that is, but… … .
“Here you are.”
When I turned around, someone was walking.
Three gigantic giants.
All of them were dressed in clothes that did not match their appearance, which made them stand out even more.
“Here.”
“Are you Adrias Cromwell?”
said the man at the forefront.
“you’re right. You must have heard what the mission was, right?”
“okay.”
Pysh and his companions looked at the three giants who suddenly appeared with wary eyes.
‘It must be a boundary.’
The people I brought were none other than Auror Masters from the northern barbarians.
The rewards from the War in the North are finally shining.
“The warchief and monsieur sent their regards.”
“Has confirmed. How are you two getting along?”
“You’re doing well right. I was ashamed at first, but now I am grateful to you.”
Well then. Of course it should.
At first, emotions may be so intense that you may not be able to see.
But with time, you’ll realize.
The fact that I was at least able to keep alive.
“We also personally thank you. I will risk my life for this mission only.”
“You are strong.”
Pycy, who had been listening to our conversation, sneaked closer.
Then he looked at the northerners and opened his mouth.
“Are you from the North?”
“You see.”
“of course. Because I often went to the North too.”
Pycy said in a tone of interest, then stared at me.
“I didn’t even think about it. I never thought I would bring this kind of power.”
“It’s an ancient ruin, so I prepared a little.”
As our conversation continued, Luna returned from her reunion with Lago.
Pycy, who confirmed the appearance, turned around and said.
“Let’s leave now. We have to go quickly to join the other side.”
I nodded and gestured to my companions.
“I will leave the wagon. Let go of the horse and go.”
This was the real beginning of the expedition.
Ruins of ancient times.
A dungeon worthy of the necromancer Pysh.
‘Ancient necromancy dungeon kingdom of corpses.’
The time has come for him to demonstrate his true worth as a Necromancer.

Smart!
While making reagents in the lab for a while, Diene let go of her hand when someone knocked on the door.
“Come on in.”
Laudelen Magic Tower.
Among them, there weren’t many people who could have visited Diene, so he said without checking who came.
“Are you busy, sister?”
And in line with Diene’s expectations, Lucia stuck out her face and asked from outside the door.
“no. come in.”
It was a sudden visitor during research, but Diene welcomed him with a bright smile.
In fact, she cared very much for Lucia, the next person she became close to after Urich.
“But what happened all of a sudden? Didn’t you say you were busy these days?”
“no. To be honest, saying I was busy was a lie… … .”
Lucia pulled out a hand that had been hidden behind her back until then.
In her hand was something beautifully decorated with wrapping paper.
“that is… … what?”
“A birthday present!”
At Lucia’s bright words, Diene finally remembered that today was her birthday.
Even after graduating from the academy, I had been so busy living that I completely forgot about it.
“Thank you… … .”
“Did you forget to eat?”
“uh. I’m rather curious that you know?”
“He is a genius. I remember the birthdays of everyone around me.”
Diene laughed at Lucia, who was not joking but seriously called herself a genius.
And after receiving the gift, he asked.
“Can I open it now?”
“sure!”
When I carefully opened the wrapping paper, a book was revealed.
After looking at the book, Diene’s eyes widened slightly and she raised her gaze to Lucia.
“this! How did you get this?”
“The head of our family found it hard. Still, I thought I should do this for my sister’s birthday, so I pushed myself a bit.”
The book Lucia gave as a gift was one of several Portion books that were not circulated outside.
To be precise, it was a book by one of the Devourers, Magic Maestro Kjaf.
“Honestly, if my sister had tried to find it, it would have been easier, but isn’t this all sincere?”
“What are you talking about. Even if I want to get Kjaf’s book, I can’t.”
Diene smiled as she hugged the book to her chest.
“thank you so much. It is the best present.”
“I wanted that kind of reaction. um um.”
Lucia nodded, then smiled like a bad boy.
As Diene tilted her head at that sudden expression, Lucia began to pull something out of her arms.
“Here’s another one.”
“You prepared another present?”
“no. It wasn’t my gift, it was prepared by Adrias-senpai.”
At the word Adrias, Diene flinched for a moment.
Lucia smiled sinisterly at the noticeable reaction she had begun to see after returning from the tower.
“Huh? Are you that good?”
“uh? what what?”
“Hehe. Vivian unnie wouldn’t be alone… … .”
Diene realized that she was agitated, but she could not contain it.
In fact, it had to be.
When the accident happened a few days ago, there was no panic, but even now, when I think of him, I think of what happened in the tower.
what happened in the tower.
facts learned from it.
‘The masked swordsman… … .’
Ever since she went to the tower, she pretended not to know, but she realized that she was a genius.
Actually, who the owner of the mask was and who saved him from an accident that happened a few years ago.
But I didn’t have the courage to ask this myself.
If you ask and the prediction is true, you don’t know how your mind and relationships with people around you will change.
She was happy now.
I didn’t want to break this happiness.
But is that all?
“More than that, the present that my senior gave me is a book. But you gave me something unusual as a gift?”
While Diene suppressed her nervousness, Lucia grabbed Adrias’ present and looked around.
It was a book, but it was thin with only a few pages, so it didn’t look like a magic book at all.
Soon after, Lucia handed the book to Diene and muttered the title written on it.
“The adventures of Ed the King of Knights?”
“… … uh?”
Diene picked up the book and checked the cover hastily.
And when I checked the illustration and the title, my eyes became red.
“What sister?”
A flustered Lucia worried about Diene, but Diene only turned the book with trembling hands.
“ah!”
Soon, a low exclamation flowed out, and the dew flowed down again.
“Is your sister okay?”
“Oh yes. are you okay. for a moment… … .”
Diane nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes.
Then, slowly, he began to read the book.
The book was a fairy tale that children read.
The book had sloppy pictures and the contents were childish.
“ha.”
But Diene was moved by a stronger emotion than any other painting or content.
The book was right.
Now out of print, his first treasure that he couldn’t find anywhere.
“Diene’s sister?”
“Sorry. Are you surprised? I was so surprised and my emotions were running high.”
When I was young, there was a time when I secretly practiced magic and set the whole room on fire.
At that time, I never thought that I would be able to meet again like this, a children’s book that had been burned together.
‘This book was the trigger that made me long for articles.’
A children’s book that has been out of print for quite some time.
I remember all the contents, so I forced myself to make a binding.
But the book thus bound had not filled her burnt heart.
“really… … . How did you get this?”
“Does it seem difficult to obtain?”
“huh. The book is out of print because it is not popular. If it was a popular book, it would have been easier to obtain… … .”
Come to think of it, Adrias was the only person outside of his family who knew about this.
When I was younger, we often hung out together and played.
When I burned the book, the only friend of my age who comforted me was young Adrias.
“You remembered.”
Adrias.
Knight of my mask.
It protects not only my body, but also my mind.
“I’m glad my sister is happy. To be honest, I was worried when Adrias-senpai entrusted me with a present. Isn’t it normal to give a children’s storybook as a gift?”
“It is a book full of memories. It’s misleading.”
“If I had known that in advance, I wouldn’t have misunderstood. Anyway, I’m busy alone. I carried the burden of being very burdened by myself.”
Lucia, who grumbled, took out a snack from her bosom and started eating it.
When she was stressed, she often took out and ate snacks she didn’t know where to put them, and Diene, knowing that, stroked her head.
“Let us lighten the load.”
“I need to know what kind of burden it is so I can relieve it, but I don’t know if you will tell me.”
“If we become stronger, won’t they trust me and tell me someday?”
Neither Lucia nor Diene were ordinary people.
So, he had a vague idea that Adrias, who had always been by his side, was responsible for something.
“You have to be strong. You will definitely become stronger. Than that damn senior.”
“Whoops. That would be nice.”
“So I will definitely tell the senior. I’ll just take care of everything, so curl up in a corner and go to sleep.”
Lucia grumbled after eating handfuls of cookies.
And Diane said with sincere thought.
“Yes. Someday definitely… … .”
I hope I can become a magician who works for the knight.
