Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

[ Episode 372. Unexpected news]

Burbak wasn’t the only one surprised by the appearance of the chieftain.

Even the mercenaries and people who had been watching with bated breath closed their eyes in anticipation of what would happen in the future.

“Bubak! You were there! Why are you silent?”

As the chieftain approached and shouted, Bubak desperately rolled his head and looked at Adrias.

“Oh father! I’m fine! Valuable guests have arrived and I have been serving them!”

It was quite plausible for a word spoken in haste, so Salem, Luna, and Morn watched with interest.

“What…… I heard that there was a fight, but you’re a guest?”

“Sibiranyo! Not at all! I was planning to take him with me, but it turned out that my father was coming in person. First of all, let me introduce you to the famous Salem Yedidia!”

Bubak’s desperate words that he spat out without pause shone through. Chief Musid’s eyes widened when he heard Salem’s name, and his demeanor changed.

“oh my! A valuable guest has arrived! Why did you stay here without inviting me right away! nice to meet you My name is Musid Hushang, chieftain of the Black Scorpion tribe located around here.”

Seeing his sudden change of attitude, Luna burst into laughter, and Salem seemed to have cooled down and focused on the beer again.

“Hehe, when you say where did you come from, you must be like your father.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

At Morne’s words, Bubak scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

“Hehe, why don’t you come to our tribe instead of doing this here? We will serve delicacies and alcoholic beverages that are hard to find in the desert.”

“alcohol?”

Salem turned his head and asked again.

“This is a desert, so it is very difficult to obtain alcohol. At best, this is all beer sold to mercenaries in taverns. However, if you come to our mansion, there are precious liquors that can only be obtained from convection.”

“let’s go.”

Salem took a shot of beer and stood up.

But no one got up after him.

‘Ummm…….’

Musid, who was watching the situation seriously, was able to discover that Salem’s party was paying attention with his excellent power of observation.

But they weren’t watching Salem’s eyes.

‘Huh…wasn’t Salem Yedidiah the captain of the party?’

Musid, who assumed that if Salem wasn’t leading the party, was a reticent-looking middle-aged man or an elderly old man, was soon surprised again.

It was none other than a young man with rust-colored hair who the party was keeping an eye on.

It was a reversal that Musid would never have thought of if it were not for his son who desperately glanced at the young man.

“If you come to our tribe, we will treat you not only to delicacies, but also to women. There are precious guests, and I would like to serve them with all my heart.”

Thinking that a young man would naturally want a woman, Musid made the offer and was delighted inside. Rather, if a young man like that were the leader of the party, it would be easier to bake and boil…

“I made a mistake.”

Maximin, who had been quietly choosing the menu until now, spoke for the first time.

“yes?”

“It was good until I figured out the boss. But you underestimated this side too much.”

“What do you mean by that……? ah!”

Musid, who was talking, felt sorry for him.

‘No way……’

Is it a sodomy?

While Musid was delusional alone, Luna jumped up and pointed at Adrias.

“Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne ~ Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne! I will do everything to Vivian!”

“Kuhm.”

When Luna openly mentioned Vivian’s name, Evan cleared his throat. At the same time, Adrias looked around with a slightly puzzled look.

“……Did you know everything?”

“It’s strange that you don’t know when you show off like that.”

Maximin said with a rare smile.

At his answer, Adrias turned his head to look at Evan, and he turned his head in silence, then looked at Morne, who smiled like a full moon.

“It’s a good time.”

“Haa… I didn’t even guess that everyone knew.”

Adrias’s poker face collapsed after a long time. Seeing this, Maximin clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“It’s rather strange to think you wouldn’t know. The two of them have been sticking together until now, but it’s a stupid idea to not want them to know.”

“Then the other members of the territory…?”

“Why didn’t the number of people stick to this? It is left to protect the one you love so much instead.”

“ha ha ha! It’s red!”

Luna jumped on the table and teased Adrias.

Musid, who watched all of this, noticed that he had made a mistake and apologized urgently.

“Sorry. I didn’t know you already had a crush.”

“Hey Adrias. So are you going or not? Make your decision quickly.”

When Salem, who seemed to be already racing, urged him again, Adrias quickly waved his hand to change the subject.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, I made a good choice.”

And after hearing the story, Burbak and Musid opened their mouths at the name of the young man who finally came out.

“Are you Adrias Cromwell?”

“Sorry for the late greeting. Yes, I am Adrias Cromwell.”

“The youngest Warlock and Aura Master…and the first Duel Master in history!”

One of the mercenaries who had been holding his breath exclaimed in an excited voice. Then, he quickly covered his mouth with a whimper.

“Ah… it is truly an honor to serve you. We’ll take you right to our mansion. Ah, before that, prepare for the banquet…?”

“Rather than that, we have to cancel the exchange meeting first…”

The Musid father and son, who are good at improvisation, were flustered this time and talked nonsense.

Adrias, who watched this, stood up from his seat, tilting his head at the fact that people knew his name.

“Let’s go at once. There are more stories I want to ask about than delicacies from the mountains and seas.”

“Yes yes! Sure! Hey guys! Clear the way!”

Adrias moved first, and the others got up and moved after him. It was like the subordinates who assisted the king.

“gulp.”

Salem Yedidia Luna Pendragon and Adrias Cromwell followed by them.

Sensing that the rest of the characters were absolutely not ordinary, the people in the bar watched the dazzling back.

“……I need to inform the guild right away.”

Finally, when Adrias and the others left the tavern, one of the mercenaries muttered.

“Are the heroes appearing…….”

“Why did you come to the Shaiya Desert in the first place?”

The tavern started to heat up once again.

**

“Uh hmm hmm. By the way, I heard that survivors came out of Fortion, but it is very fortunate that Adrias-sama returned safely.”

While Musid took the lead in guiding us, Bubak quietly stood by my side.

“I was lucky.”

“As expected, he is very humble. Everyone on the continent must know that Adrias, the youngest Warlock and first Duel Master, couldn’t have survived by chance. As expected, I feel that the Duel Master is different…”

He felt it from the bar, but Bubak said it as if he were rapping. By the time I was distracted by the rapid-fire chatter that was pouring out of apnea, the words suddenly cut off.

“Adventure.”

I wondered why, but before I knew it, Luna approached and was looking at Bubak carefully. Bubak didn’t know what to do at that unbearably obsessive gaze and just cleared his throat.

“Try again.”

“yep?”

“Try that again.”

“What is that…?”

“Don’t stop talking and keep going.”

Why did you do that? It seems like you were thinking the same thing as me.

“That’s that…”

He’s the type who can’t do it when the plate is laid.

Thanks to that, I was able to walk in a quiet environment and looked around.

‘It’s been a while… is it?’

The Shaiya Desert was a place I visited every time because of an episode caused by ‘gluttony’. Even if I didn’t want to come, I couldn’t just sit back and watch the ruse of the meeting people.

In fact, it was a land of extreme heat where hot heat and sandstorms continued without knowing the end.

‘Next to cold is heat.’

It couldn’t have been an amazing coincidence.

“That’s our tribe.”

“Near.”

Evan, who became my escort in place of Vivian on this trip, said while being wary of the surroundings.

The place where I arrived riding a giant scorpion called shale, a means of transportation in the desert, was a place I knew. It was only natural that he knew all the tribes that existed in the desert in the first place.

“Oh oh!”

Luna burst into admiration and pointed to the village.

“It’s not a tribe, it’s a village?”

“Haha, we are still interacting with the continent, so we don’t live like the primitive tribes of old. Many outsiders are mistaken for the word tribe, but it is easier to think of it as a village formed around one family.”

At Bubak’s explanation, Luna said with a profound expression, ‘Oh. That’s right, that’s right.’ I shook my head.

“Shall we go inside?”

“yes.”

Contrary to its reputation as a demonic realm, the magnificent mansion where the culture of the desert melted was shining in the sunlight. When I went inside, rare water was gushing out of here and there.

“I’m preparing a banquet from now on, so take the guests to their rooms.”

“Okay, Father.”

“Then I will go and prepare for the banquet.”

Musid naturally left and we were guided to a huge outbuilding following Bubak.

“If you stay here for a while, the servants will come to call you as soon as the banquet is ready.”

“What about alcohol?”

“Oh, I’m in this room right now. hey! Bring a bottle of Dragon’s Tears with you. No, I will go and get it all at once.”

Burbak hurried somewhere and soon appeared with several bottles of alcohol in his arms.

“Hmm, I don’t really like it, but it can’t be helped because it’s the Shaiya Desert.”

“I’m sorry you don’t seem to have something you like. I will tell you to prepare the table for alcohol at the banquet.”

If you think about it, we are like uninvited guests, but I thought we were suffering.

What a self-employed person.

“Bubak, I want to ask you something.”

“Please say yes.”

“Have you not seen a particularly suspicious group of outsiders lately?”

“Hmm…”

It was a very vague question, even when I thought about it.

Thanks to this, Burbak was in trouble, but he seemed to be doing his best to recall his memories.

“I got information that the emperor of the empire came to Shaiya Desert. Do you know anything?”

“Are you talking about Emperor Hua?”

When Evan, who was worse than him, asked directly, Bubak asked back with a puzzled face.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that the emperor has come here.”

“The suspicious group I asked about in the first place is probably the Emperor’s way.”

“Hey, I’ll have to look into this in more detail through the guys below. Huh, the emperor…….”

Burbak, who sighed in succession as if he couldn’t believe it, raised his head as if he had suddenly remembered something.

“Oh, come to think of it, there has been a suspicious group lately. But he doesn’t seem to be the emperor of the empire…”

“Anything is fine. Please tell me.”

“Recently, there was information that suspicious movements were being detected in the center of the Shaiya Desert. But according to our guess, since it’s the movement of beastmen, it probably has nothing to do with the emperor…”

When it comes to beastmen in the Shaiya Desert, it’s Sin.

Their base is here. Thanks to that, I was able to take the offspring of gluttony and plant them in the World Tree.

‘I have to deal with gluttony anyway.’

The emperor was the priority, but there was nothing wrong with knowing Sin’s information.

“The information about Soo-in is all right. I am interested in that too.”

“Ah, I’m glad then. In fact, there was one unusual piece of information.”

Bubak said to me with a confident expression.

“Beasts are occasionally sighted near the center of the Shaiya Desert, but they seem to have their own village. The unusual information is not this, it is a rumor that there are humans interacting with the beast village.”

“Shouldn’t there be exchanges, of course? They will have to eat too.”

“It didn’t mean that, but it was a meaningful rumor, like living together in that village.”

A human with a scene?

It was strange that Sin, an organization that hated humans, was with humans.

“Some rumors circulated because one of the humans had a particularly striking appearance. He has a strong body and great muscles, but the story of an old man…….”

Wait a minute.

I had met a beastman named Ulug before. At that time, he said that he had grown up under Master Deshurn, and that Master had a close relationship with Sin.

‘Probably right.’

When I think of an old man with a strong muscular physique who is associated with a beastman, only Master comes to mind.

In fact, it could have been someone else, but it was a problem that had to be checked since there was already some possibility.

“I’m sure he’s not the emperor.”

Evan spoke next to me as if asking for an opinion.

“Yes, maybe someone else.”

“Hmm? Are you talking like you can guess who it is?”

Morne asked me as if he noticed something.

“I’m just guessing, but I think it’s probably my teacher.”

“teacher?”

Morn tilted his head.

Then Salem, who had been quietly drinking, suddenly shouted.

“Deshurn?!”

“Perhaps it is. There is a base for Sin in the Shaiya Desert.”

“Shin is here? No, how the hell do you know that information? Did Evan tell you?”

“I knew about it as an accidental opportunity from long ago.”

At my words, Salem scratched his head.

“Anyway, it means Deshurn is here too.”

“Oh, he was someone I wanted to meet, but it was unexpected.”

“My friend’s teacher!”

Did you expect me to meet Deshurn? In fact, there were very few encounters in the game.

‘Anyway……’

An unexpected relationship was continuing.
