Chapter 1054
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1054
An incredibly clear and pure voice with a sour tone contrasting with it.
And even a familiar tone of voice.
Simon’s time stopped.
-She is called Saint Lethe of the Star.
When Simon didn’t reply, she identified herself from her side of the communication crystal sphere.
The paladins who heard the name stood up with nervous expressions. There were some people muttering quietly, ‘Gratula mi kibilis.’
-Israfil has gone to the field and I am in charge of command here for a while. What’s going on?
At the saint’s question, everyone’s attention was focused on Simon holding the communication crystal ball.
however.
“….”
Simon’s mind instantly turned white.
It was because an unexpected person appeared at a completely unexpected time. I never thought we would be able to reunite like this.
-? hey.
When there was no answer, Lete’s characteristic sharp voice of disapproval came out.
-What should I do now? I’m so busy that I’m really dying.
That grunting voice that was so familiar.
The moment he heard that sound, the tension in his body finally eased, as if it were a lie, and Simon stopped laughing.
‘Is that guy crazy?’
The paladins who saw Simon’s smile all froze. An exasperated voice came out from the communication crystal sphere, as if it had heard laughter.
-who are you? Are you kidding me…!
“Gratula mi cíbĭlis. “I come to meet the goddess’s closest daughter.”
Simon changed his expression for a moment, seriously showed his courtesy to the saint, and quickly added,
“This is Orjava, a neutral zone, and I am a secret investigator dispatched under the orders of Saint Israfil.”
Huh.
A nervous Simon took a deep breath. Even though I couldn’t use my original voice, I still had to say something that she would understand.
“Saint Lethe once met Saint Israfil. Recently, I have been indebted to Sky Island.”
Is this enough for you to notice?
Simon tried to calm his pounding heart and waited for Lethe’s next words.
however.
-Why are you pretending to be friendly to me?
Rather, a sharp wariness was added to Lethe’s voice.
-Secret investigator? This is my first time hearing that you have something like that.
Tup.
Simon covered his forehead without realizing it. Come to think of it, there must have been one or two people from Israel that Lete met on Sky Island. Moreover, since the voices are completely different, it is natural that they cannot be understood.
Sigh.
Zalcon, who was sitting in his seat, was seen slowly extending his arm and grabbing the pole of the spear.
It was a crisis.
‘It’s dangerous to say direct place names or people’s names!’
Matters including the Afnel student murder case and the Saint Lisa incident that took place on Sky Island last year are confidential.
There will be people on the other side listening to the communication right now, and if they bring up that story, they will be arrested immediately. Lete’s situation might become difficult.
‘What story only two people know?’
Actually, if you think about it calmly, there was a lot to talk about. But now, Simon was still in a mentally dizzy state, and the paladins around him were watching him with their eyes wide open, as if they were oppressing him. Zalkon stood up while holding on to the spear. It looked like he was about to hit his head at any moment.
‘Is there a story that only the two of you know? ‘Why doesn’t this suddenly come to mind?’
Saliva flows down my throat.
For the first time, Simon realized that he was the type of person whose mind went blank when he was too nervous.
I kept thinking about the things that happened in Leth Hill and when Lete came over to Keygen. The name of the Dark Alliance can never be mentioned.
‘driving me crazy! I do not have time!’
At that time, Simon was closing his eyes tightly and shaking his head desperately.
Suddenly, Lethe’s voice penetrated my ears like a revelation.
-If you win the first selection, I will grant you one wish.
Simon’s eyes brightened.
“Do you remember the bet you made on Sky Island? “Originally-”
Simon hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“It is true that the saintess grants my wish.”
The paladins looked at each other and blinked or shrugged their shoulders. This is a story that makes one wonder what it means to a third party who does not know anything about it. Zalkon tried to aim the tip of his spear at Simon’s neck as if he didn’t need to hear any more.
however.
-?$%@!!!
A startled sound of astonishment came out from the communication crystal ball.
-What are you doing? what? Why are you there?!
Simon laughed bitterly.
It’s really too late to notice.
‘Still, I’m glad.’
Simon had calmed down mentally now, but this time it seemed like he couldn’t get over the shock.
-Oh no! Why are you there…! W, this is Israfil’s camp, and this is Paladin-only communication…! Ugh! Don’t listen to everyone!
Simon had a hard time suppressing laughter as he watched Lethe’s reaction as her voice suddenly became distant and she shouted to those around her as if to relieve her embarrassment.
But it was necessary to calm her down in confusion. There are many ears to listen to, so you can’t make mistakes.
“Let me tell you again, I am Israfil’s secret investigator. “Currently, while performing a mission in the neutral zone, I encountered Arch Paladin Zalkon’s forces and I would like to have my identity proven to facilitate the investigation.”
Hmm- ah-hm-
A few coughing sounds were finally heard from the communication crystal sphere, and then a kind and gentle voice rang out.
-that’s right. The identity of this person will be confirmed by Saint Lethe of the Star.
It was a clear voice, completely different from the work-worn voice at first. The paladins who heard her story whispered.
“I can’t believe Saint Lethe said that…”
“After listening to the conversation, it seems like we know each other.”
“I guess he really is a secret investigator.”
Zalcon, who was about to attack Simon at any moment, sat down again and threw his spear at the wall. Zalcon’s advisor held his chest, sighed in relief, and then began nagging Zalcon. ‘Am I right? ‘What would have happened if a real investigator had been caught!’
Soon Lethe’s voice followed.
-It seems like there’s a problem in the neutral zone, and I’d like to hear more about the situation.
“Yes, if you don’t mind, I will explain it myself. “Saint.”
Simon briefly explained the situation to Lethe.
The newly revised Neutral Zone Agreement Behemoth’s offensive and Keygen who stopped it. And even about this action to force an attack by breaking the agreement between Bestiola, who became the new lord after the lord was killed by Behemoth, and the arch paladin Zalcon and the paladins he summoned.
Lethe said after hearing the whole story.
-Yes, I heard you well. I will talk to Zalcon, the person in charge.
Simon smiled triumphantly and handed over the communication crystal ball to Zalcon. Zalkon gritted his teeth and accepted it.
“…Gratula mi kibilis. “I am Arc Paladin Zalcon.”
-yes yes. Nice to meet you. There is nothing to talk about at length.
Lethe’s voice became eerie.
-Please return to Afnel immediately. Engagement of any kind is not permitted.
This is the end.
Simon was confident of victory, but Zalcon jumped up from his seat as if he had no intention of backing down.
“Please reconsider, saint! What is important now is not the agreement with the heretics! “This is a golden opportunity to capture the two exhausted corps commanders of the Dark Alliance!”
Zalkon raised his voice even louder.
“I will take responsibility for breaking the agreement! However, if I succeed in cutting off the heads of the two military commanders, I will give all the credit to the Saint of Stars and present their heads at her feet! Please give permission…!”
Pop.
The small sounds that could be heard through the communication crystal sphere disappeared all at once.
There was a silence so heavy that you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping. At that time, everyone was waiting for Lethe’s next story without even making a sound.
-hey.
Death energy emanated from the communication crystal sphere.
-Do you want to lose? Who’s doing what to whose neck? This bastard is real.
A voice so bloody that it was impossible to believe that it was the same person as the innocent saintess from before. The paladins straightened up with pale faces, and the staff foamed at the mouth.
-Change another guy you can communicate with.
“Saint!”
-Change it.
Is this what it means to be able to kill someone with just your voice? Everyone was feeling like they had swallowed a thorn in their throat.
Zalcon had no choice but to hand over the communication crystal ball to the staff, who immediately turned his back and bowed.
“Gratul….”
– Skip the pretense and just answer what I ask.
“yep! “Saint!”
Next, the staff member said something in a low voice, and after that, Lethe’s words were cut off for a moment.
Zalkon also looked at his staff as if he was worried and said.
“What did the saint ask you?”
“The spatial coordinates of this place right now. “I don’t know why you asked…”
Twinkle.
Everyone soon found out why.
Light twinkled in the distant sky.
‘no way!’
People, including Simon, raised their heads one by one. The twinkle in the sky got bigger and bigger and I thought, ‘Huh?’ Everyone was now opening their mouths with a shout.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
It was a ‘star’.
“The rice star is falling!”
“It’s coming this way!”
Everyone stepped back in surprise, and the star came down in an instant and crashed into the military camp where they were.
A huge white explosion followed and smoke covered the surroundings. It was difficult to come to my senses due to the deafening noise and shaking vibrations. Simon stood there, sweating and staring at the scene beyond the smoke.
It was literally a huge explosion.
‘Lete, really you….’
Coo coo coo coo coo!
The smoke cleared and a huge crater appeared where Zalcon had just been. The sight of a nova flashing like a luminous substance through cracks or fissures within the crater was extremely terrifying.
While everyone fell to their seats or fainted and forgot what to say.
-Don’t say it twice.
Lethe’s cold voice rang out from the communication crystal ball that had fallen to the floor.
-Please choose. Are you going to get out of there on your own, or are you going to be dragged out by me?
A reaction as if Lethe would appear here at any moment. The paladins turned their heads and looked at Zalcon with half-crying expressions.
Zalcon, who was lying face down on the floor, sighed while wiping away his messy bangs.
“…I’m stepping down.”
* * *
Zalkon and his army decided to withdraw completely from the neutral zone.
While they were walking through the camp and packing their belongings, Simon was sitting on a cliff far away, watching the scene and chatting intimately with Lethe through the communication crystal ball.
-I was really surprised! There were a lot of subordinates nearby, but they were saying strange things!
Lethe, who had gone from threatening Zalcon earlier, had changed into a whining expression. Simon said, laughing out loud.
“I’m sorry, it was such an unexpected situation that I couldn’t help it. “I also contacted Israfil and was surprised to hear your voice.”
-Ah, Israfil is at the border right now. I was also able to respond quickly because I was near the neutral border.
Is it because I heard a voice at such a sudden moment? The two chatted for hours, forgetting the passage of time. It was only when the communication crystal ball’s magic power was running out that I realized that quite a bit of time had passed.
-I will summon Zalkon to Sky Island and take responsibility for him. They’re famous for causing trouble here.
“Yeah, it looks like that.”
-There is nothing noticeable about being the youngest Arch Paladin. The saint says it in a really cocky way.
No matter how young he is, he’s probably older than us. Simon swallowed those words and smiled.
“really.”
Simon smiled and cried out.
“Is Lisa okay?”
-Why him?
In an instant, her voice became fierce again.
“Oh no. “I’m curious what happened after Mohangje!”
Simon, embarrassed, quickly added.
“I heard that the saint who has just ascended to the Holy See experiences frequent assassination attempts and changes often. I was wondering if the other selected students were doing well. Ahaha…!”
For a moment, a sigh of anger was heard in the crystal ball.
-The hurdle has been passed. Last time, my name became widely known, and when I use my power, no one can see that I am transformed into a saint-like figure. I think Epnel has also decided to make her an official saint.
“I’m glad.”
Even as she says that, Lethe’s voice becomes increasingly blurred.
It seemed like the call ended here. It’s time to get back to work.
-Anyway, you owe me a debt for this. Please take care of me next time there is anything related to the Dark Alliance.
Simon laughed.
“okay.”
-really. I also reply to letters quickly. Unless you want to die.
“I respond as I receive it.”
-It’s too slow. They answer in anticipation of the reply I will send next.
The two people burst out laughing.
The voice has now faded to the point where it is barely audible. Now, we only have enough mana left to say one last word to each other.
And Lethe spoke first.
-See you later, Simon.
Simon also answered.
“See you later, Lethe.”
With that, communication was cut off.
“….”
Simon, who had been immersed in a lingering mood for a while, placed the expired crystal ball into subspace and stood up.
Then I continued to stretch.
In the distance, Zalkon’s group could be seen trudging away.
‘This solves the problem. And…’
Simon turned his head.
‘There’s one more left.’
Former secretary and current lord of Orjava.
The time has come to end the bad relationship with Bestiola.
