Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 319. Someone’s decision ]

Took! Took!

Battle with no one.

There, only the emperor was sitting alone on the throne, habitually knocking on the sheath of his sword.

Kiki-

Soon the door to Daejeon opened and someone came in.

“Did you call, Your Majesty?”

The one who appeared was Hector Kazaf, Chancellor of the Empire.

Even when Hector came, the Emperor still clenched his chin and tapped the scabbard.

Took!

A strangely nerve-wracking noise ensued, and finally, when it was time to drink a cup of tea, the emperor opened his mouth.

“Jim’s plan is perfect.”

At the emperor’s sudden words, Hector just bowed his head.

“You are right.”

“It was perfect.”

The emperor corrected his words.

“That cunning bastard messed up Jim’s perfect plan.”

Hector shut his mouth.

I had already heard about what had happened on my way to Daejeon, so I just hoped that the emperor would not be angry.

“No human being more perfect than Jim can exist in this world. That would mean that my underlings who carry out my plans are ugly.”

“I apologize, Your Majesty.”

Hector had nothing to say.

In fact, he had nothing to do with the plan to retrieve the original sin from Adrias Cromwell.

The result of the emperor’s plan and execution.

However, the arrogant emperor found the cause of failure not in himself, but in his subordinates.

“Xavier Leonard was put on probation. The rest of the Royal Guard knights were all put in prison.”

“your majesty.”

Hector took his luck anxiously.

“The momentum of the Confederacy is unusual. It seemed that they had noticed our plan, but the vacancy of the guards was painful…” “

Then, that’s great. Shall we pay for our sins on the battlefield?”

Hector’s mouth fell shut again at the emperor’s cruel words.

If you interpret that word straight away, it would mean that you are going to the battlefield as a criminal, not as a royal guard knight.

“What do you think, Chancellor?”

“Your Majesty, I apologize, but they are all descendants of high-ranking nobles. I am very worried that there will be a great backlash.”

“What is wrong with sinners paying for their sins?”

The Emperor looked at Hector with a really disapproving face.

Seeing that innocent face, Hector was bewildered.

‘The emperor is really going crazy.’

The wise emperor has now become a monster.

A monster who doubts that only self-centered thoughts rule the brain.

“It is right to pay the penalty. But I am afraid that the punishment might be too strong.”

“I missed the original sin. Even if I call again, he won’t come to the imperial palace. Isn’t that why Jim can’t directly issue orders and catch them?”

“Of course, the small person also guessed the importance of original sin. However, other nobles do not even know the existence of original sin, so they will rebel against them without knowing how great their crimes have been committed.”

Hector struggled to speak, overcoming the energy that stabbed his body before he knew it.

It was a situation where the emperor had already left his heart, but he had to prevent an accident before the preparations for power transfer were over.

“Are you protesting? How dare you tell Jim?”

The Emperor’s tone was soft.

But Hector couldn’t stop the cold sweat running down his back.

“That’s right.”

“Is your statement just a delusion or is it true advice?”

“I do not dare to speak lies in front of Your Majesty.”

The emperor laughed as Hector’s complexion gradually turned white due to the emperor’s aura.

“Puhahahaha!”

While Hector was taken aback by the sudden burst of laughter, the emperor continued.

“How dare you rebel against Jim? Good good. The boring daily life will become fun.”

“Your Majesty?”

“Prime Minister, my plans do not change. If war breaks out with the South, use these criminals as fodder for arrows.”

“Your Majesty, then it will be clear…”

“Reaction? Rather good. I’ll take this opportunity to cut out all the affected parts of the empire. How dare you rebel against Jim? her!”

Who really is the queen of the empire?

Hector could barely utter a single word, holding on to his dizzy spirit.

“The small person will know that and prepare in advance.”

“Adrias Cromwell.”

Hector listened with an exhausted face when the emperor suddenly brought up another name.

“Observe first. When the opportunity arises, I will immediately restore my original sin.”

“All right.”

Soon the story ended and silence passed.

Hector stood still in an uncomfortable atmosphere as he hadn’t been told to back down yet.

“Okay, now go and see what you need to do.”

“Yes, I will report back as soon as I am ready.”

“Ah, what happened to Morheim before that?”

“I haven’t heard from you yet, but I think a response will come soon.”

“It would be better to deal with Morheim first as an example.”

The emperor smiled arrogantly.

“I will imprint on all continents what it means to rebel against Jim.”

**

A secret laboratory located in the basement.

There, Agatha inspected her arms that were joined together.

“good.”

not bad.

Rather, it felt stronger than before. It will take a while to get used to, but that’s a matter of later.

“……I heard you came……”

After checking her arm for a while, Agatha remembered Adrias.

There was a commotion outside, and after Salem and Lago went out for a while, they heard the news that Adrias had come to the manor.

Kkuuk-

The strength went into the stronger arm that was engraved with the magical procedure.

‘Why are you doing this to me?’

I didn’t think much of Adrias until I was first hired. Rather, at the time, he was recognized as an enemy because he was acting as an agent of the scene.

“It’s about time.”

Just then, Rago appeared and beckoned to Agatha.

In exchange for attaching an arm, he was conducting various experiments with her arm.

Today’s experiment is a study to measure how strong it can be.

“Me….”

“Tell me.”

“Is Adrias still in the territory?”

“I heard that you will return tomorrow.”

Tomorrow…

Agatha pondered over how to deal with Adrias.

Should I go back after the experiment and say thank you? Or will it just be quiet?

“I will do a lot of experiments. We will measure muscle mass in all parts of the arm and check all pulling, pushing, and grip strength.”

“All right.”

Soon, the experiment proceeded, and Agatha silently responded to the experiment. There was nothing particularly difficult, so on the contrary, I kept thinking about other things.

‘What specifically do you want from me?’

Employment was offered in exchange for fixing the arm.

Rather, it is something she should be grateful for.

It was a rare proposal for her, who had been persecuted and scorned while living as a mixed human-beast race.

‘Actually, Sin must have thought of me as a good word to throw away.’

Her appearance was different from that of an ordinary beastman.

If normal beastmen feel like bipedal animals, Agatha, a mixed blood with humans, has the appearance of a human with only animal ears and a tail.

That’s why even when talking to the prisoners belonging to Sin, he had no choice but to be looked at with displeasure.

“What were you doing?”

Salem is back.

He looked at the two in the process of the experiment and said to Agatha.

“Now, just two more magical procedures and it will be over. Of course, you’ll have to do adaptation training, but that’s up to you.”

“thank you.”

“Don’t thank me, do it to this guy.”

“This guy?”

As Agatha tilted her head, Adrias appeared behind Salem.

Embarrassed by his sudden appearance, Agatha broke the grip strength meter she was holding.

Kwajik-

“Oh! sorry.”

“It makes a harder measuring instrument.”

Seeing this, Adrias slowly approached and greeted Agatha.

“Are your arms okay?”

“As you can see…”

For some reason, Agatha felt embarrassed and awkwardly averted her gaze.

Seeing Agatha like that, Adrias sneaked up to her and asked.

“May I take a look?”

“yes? yes.”

Agatha quietly held out her arm.

According to Salem, the arm with the elaborately carved magic circle was covered so that it would not be seen during the final procedure.

“How are you?”

Salem interjected in a coy tone.

“Umm……”

“Why? What is your reaction like?”

“Wait a minute.”

As Adrias carefully touched and examined her arm, Agatha’s face turned red.

I tried not to show it, but in the end, a sound leaked out from Adrias’ touch.

“purr.”

“yes?”

Adrias raised his head at the momentary purr of the cat.

Embarrassed, Agatha waved her other hand and shook her head.

“I’m sorry. By mistake…”

“No. I thought you called me and I misunderstood. Let’s take a look.”

stop! I felt like shouting, but Agatha kept her mouth shut.

Adrias’ touch, which felt strangely pleasant, continued to touch his senses as a beastman.

‘I have to endure it!’

Agatha, who endured with superhuman patience, let out a deep sigh when Adrias let go.

“Whew.”

“Is your arm still bad?”

“Oh no. It is in good condition.”

Agatha, blushing for no reason, hesitated without even making eye contact with Adrias.

“so. How is it!”

“I’m also curious.

When Salem and Lago, who were not interested in Agatha’s reaction, urged them, Adrias spoke calmly.

“It’s good, it’s good…”

“What is that reaction? Are you saying that something is missing?”

“Isn’t this part here……”

“Eug!”

Agatha’s cat ears stiffened in surprise at the sudden touch.

Adrias hastily apologized for her reaction.

“Sorry to startle you. Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes……”

Salem, who had been watching him, tilted his head and trudged over to grab Agatha’s arm.

But this time, Salem laughed at Agatha’s eyes looking up at her without any reaction, as if asking why she had caught him.

“You’re fine! Why are you being so rude?”

“I told you. It’s okay…….”

“What is it, but why are you reacting so sensitively when Adrias catches you?”

“yes? My me?”

Seeing Agatha rolling her eyes as if embarrassed, Salem smiled strangely.

“You can’t……”

Suddenly!

Then the door to the lab opened and someone came in.

“Do you have Adrias?”

“Vivian, you are here. I am here.”

“huh.”

Vivian, who departed from Laudelen, has now arrived.

She came to Adrias right away and started examining him as soon as she arrived.

“Vi Vivian?”

“I heard you fought. Are you okay?”

“I am fine. Thanks to everyone else taking care of everything…”

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

Adrias smiled at Vivian, who smiled lightly, and headed towards Salem.

“Among the magic circles engraved on your arm…Agatha, can I look at your arm again?”

“yes.”

Whoa ha

Agatha held out her arm with determination.

Make no mistake. Now, Vivien is watching.

‘That person obviously likes Adrias-sama, so I can’t do anything that could cause misunderstandings.’

Vivian’s dedication was noticeable enough to be seen even by strangers.

In particular, it was impossible not to know the feelings and appearance of Vivian that I saw when I was briefly imprisoned in hell.

“How about using this formula for the magic circle here?”

“huh? If you do that, you’ll have to change the back here too.”

“Of course we have to change. But what if we change it like this?”

“I knew! I knew what! Adrias is great!”

Agatha gradually felt at ease as she saw those who were talking with her arms for a while.

People who give for themselves and don’t look bad for being mixed race.

‘happy.’

Agatha thought to herself at the feeling of warmth she hadn’t felt since her mother’s death.

As long as I can protect this sense, I feel like I can do anything.
