Chapter 120 – 120. Chasing the Necromancer (3)
The report began with the discovery of the Chimera Witchbeast.
Bandits raided a small village, and a child who happened to be alive there rode into Pernin in a passing merchant’s carriage and explained the situation to the guards.
Afterwards, a report from the guards sent Artia a request to wipe out the bandits, and Riod, who grasped the context, sent three Artia knights and soldiers from the Kingdom Army to clear the bandits.
However, what they encountered on the way there was not a bandit, but a chimera in a disgusting form that was a combination of a human and a monster.
After reporting the failure of the bandit eradication to Riod, Riod, who felt the seriousness of the situation, directly requested an official letter of cooperation from the adventurer’s guild and the Temple of Vesta to lead an expedition to subdue the demons, and by completing the subjugation of the humanoid chimera demons, the Chimera and the bandits were freed. The report was concluded by being able to obtain information on the ‘necromancer’ and ‘alchemist’ that existed behind.
“Necromancer…”
A nobleman who heard Riod’s report swallowed his saliva and murmured.
“Are you really a necromancer? It’s not the kind of existence that only existed in books, but it really brings the dead back to life…”
“Reviving is not the right word. That… They were beings that did not fit the expression of being alive.”
“Okay… Even more dangerous is their power. If it was a power that defeated the Knights of Artia and the soldiers of the Kingdom Army once, it would be a level that could not be ignored. This time, it was possible to wipe it out because it was an expedition led by the Marquis of Olivion, but there is a limit to the fact that the Marquis of Olivion comes out every time.”
“It’s not just that. What’s even more annoying is that you can’t pinpoint their location. What the hell is it? Space movement-type magic, does that mean that the opponent is also a high-ranking or high-ranking magician?”
“We are also considering the possibility of magic that has not yet been revealed. It’s not that common to be a hidden talent.”
As a representative example, in addition to classic space movement magic such as teleportation of high-digit magicians such as Illyana, there is also an ability such as Elvin’s dark magic, ‘Shadow Movement’.
Although the principles of magic, the method of composition, and the meaning of existence are all different, they lead to similar results depending on the purpose for which they are used.
It is similar to the fact that both the beginning and the process are different, but they end up with one goal.
Riod glanced at Eunhyun for a moment, but then turned his head forward again and continued.
“Unless you properly know the limits and conditions of their teleportation ability, no provincial territory can be considered safe. I think we need to find out if there are any damages to the inside of the territory and the villages outside it right now.”
“Um…”
As long as they are raiding villages one after another and using human corpses to make their own troops, it is dangerous that it is impossible to estimate how much damage this will cause.
“But how the hell did they… Is there no way to find it?”
How on earth should they respond to the fraudulent method of preventing their location from being identified through space movement?
In the midst of such a heavy atmosphere inside the court meeting, the door of the meeting room opened and a woman appeared.
A woman wearing a wide-brimmed witch’s hat with her long, straight black hair hanging down at an angle, black stockings that reveal her leg lines and tight witch’s clothes are very alluring and beautiful, attracting the attention of all nobles. Captivate.
“Uh, uh… ?”
“Here you are.”
The witch, frowning slightly with bitter eyes, glared at Eun-hyeon, who was staring at her in surprise, and then opened her mouth to Leo De.
“I’ll go.”
“Illyana?”
It was none other than Eunhyeon who answered her words.
Eun-hyun, who had regained her senses, stunned, glared at the nobles around her who were looking at Illyana’s open breasts and her thighs wrapped in stockings, and hurriedly ran to Illyana.
He summoned a robe of her favorite design from her hand and covered her body.
“What… ?”
Some of the nobles looked surprised at the sight of him displaying the divine ability to summon objects casually from the air, but Eunhyeon didn’t care about that.
“People are staring. Why are you dressed like that?”
“Hey, but you seem to care now? I usually don’t even look at it.”
“No, what…”
Perhaps it was because seeing Eunhyun’s attitude that it was very annoying for other men to look at her appearance and body, she showed that Illyana was in a good mood with a smile.
“How did you find out about this place?”
“Theresia told me. He informed me that there would be a meeting here today.”
“No, that’s not to say there’s no place where you can come alone…”
“Leod has informed the court in advance. So that I can go in and out alone.”
“…”
Eunhyun turned her head and glared at her Riod.
“Joy.”
When Eunhyeon lost her words, Illyana grabbed Eunhyeon’s chin and turned it toward herself.
“My prospective husband didn’t come home, and I wondered where he was and what he was doing. Are you doing something very important?”
“Oh, well, that…”
In fact, when Eun-hyeon, who couldn’t tell her that she hadn’t entered her house because she was afraid of being squeezed by her, even with her mouth torn open, couldn’t find anything to say and panicked.
“Husband?”
“A black witch is married?”
“The opponent was that sinner?”
Although they already knew that the two were lovers, the news of her upcoming marriage came as a shock to the nobles attending the court meeting.
At the same time as Illyana’s bomb declaration, the inside of the conference room started to become noisy.
“Quiet!”
Queen Diane’s roar reverberating in the noisy meeting room instantly calmed the noise of the nobles.
“Black Witch. This is the meeting place where all the leaders of the kingdom gather. It is unacceptable to disturb the atmosphere of the meeting room with personal business.”
“Oh, sorry. This side was waiting desperately for her husband to come back, but he didn’t come home, so I eventually came to visit him. Still, I didn’t come here just for this business, did I?”
Although Illyana’s tone was direct and rude, with no hint of respect or reverence for her, none of the nobles present at the court meeting could point out Illyana’s rudeness.
Even Queen Diane, who accepts all of her rudeness, only frowns at her, but she doesn’t point out Illyana’s tone.
“Sounds like you have a pretty nasty problem. The reason I came here is to tell the kingdom that I will fully cooperate with Riod in this case.”
“What… ?!”
“… Why? Why so suddenly?”
“Huh? Any reason?”
In fact, Illyana’s true intention was that she wanted to finish this job as soon as possible and spend time with Eun-hyeon, but she couldn’t confidently reveal it.
“…”
Upon hearing Illyana’s lighthearted response, Queen Diane’s eyebrows twitched and glared at her.
“Are you eating properly? Why is the child so emaciated?”
“Hey… Who is your child?”
Uncomfortable with the gaze of her queen staring at herself and at her Illyana, Eun-hyeon gave Illyana a signal with her glance, but she didn’t notice at all.
‘A woman of my own pace who ate rice without notice like this…’
Perhaps, if Illyana had heard his thoughts, she would probably react furiously as to who said no one cares.
In the end, Eun-hyeon gave up and grabbed her hand and forcibly led her to stand behind Riod.
When she returned to her original seat, behind Rio De, Eleanor, who was standing behind Avros, glanced at Eun-hyeon with a wary expression.
“You… Are you getting married?”
“Yes. I guess I will do it soon. The date of the ceremony is yet to be determined.”
“Okay…”
When Eleanor heard her Eun Hyun’s confirmation, she gave her a small nod and turned her head again.
“Hmm?”
Illiana, who was standing next to Eunhyun holding her hand, listened to the conversation between the two and read Eleanor’s expression.
“Why?”
“No, I just wanted to say that my bizarre premonitions are never wrong.”
◆ ◆ ◆
The contents of the court meeting quickly heated up and came to an end as soon as Illyana revealed her intention to help.
As a result, all the nobles who have the territory send people to their spirits to investigate whether there is any damage.
In preparation for an emergency, Armitas, the Minister of Military Affairs, prepares the troops for the war against the humanoid Chimera.
As Secretary of the Treasury, Bernard draws up a budget for relief supplies to be sent to affected areas.
Each showed a movement to prepare for the worst situation in each way.
Riod, Illyana, and Eunhyeon formed a party of four, including Eleanor, and concluded that they would find and deal with the necromancer through Illyana’s teleport and scour the villages around Bram, where the incident occurred, in an ignorant way.
The moment the fraudulent aid of Illyana’s magic was added, the countermeasure came so easily that he was in a state of collapse.
“It seems that having a sense of crisis during the last demon avalanche helped a little.”
“This time it’s a matter of warlocks, not demons.”
“No matter how stupid you were, you couldn’t have known that the situation was worse than it was then.”
“Even so, this is not a bad course.”
At Avros’ words, Eunhyeon and Riod nodded in agreement.
It is a very unfortunate situation that there is a possibility of a victim, but it was also a fortunate situation that there were no idiots biting each other for power struggle and profit in front of an enemy that could not be matched or difficult to deal with.
“I heard more unexpected news than that. Are you getting married?”
“… Yes.”
“Hmm, I heard some interesting news.”
“We haven’t even had a ceremony or schedule yet. Circumstances are circumstances.”
“When it is decided, send out wedding invitations. It’s a symbiotic relationship though. I will keep the loyalty to celebrate the occasion.”
“Thank you for your words. Would you really be better off than that? Dealing with the necromancer this time is very dangerous. Personally, I thought the duke wouldn’t allow it.”
“The person himself said that what the necromancer did was absolutely unacceptable. Like her mother, he was a child who never gave up once he had a strong will. Besides, in terms of ability, isn’t it not lacking thanks to you?”
“Yeah, what… It is, but.”
“If you said you would take responsibility, bear it until the end.”
“No, isn’t it a little bit out of the question to take them to the limbs?”
Eunhyeon intended to have Eleanor build up her achievements step by step, befitting the ability of a lieutenant priest, and gradually increase her influence to the point where she could not be touched in the temple.
There wasn’t much of a problem with Eun-hyeon’s abilities, as Eun-hyeon had personally checked them, but she wasn’t too reluctant to take a lady from a noble house to such a dangerous thing.
Deep down, he wanted Avros to oppose Eleanor’s intention to participate in the party, but Avros didn’t object to her daughter going to a dangerous place.
“Keep it no matter what. Send him home without giving him a single scratch.”
“If you’re that worried, why don’t you send it?”
“If I were a child who would listen to that, I wouldn’t have bothered to ask you. Still, it makes me feel a little relieved that you’re going with me.”
“Alex and the Duke, I don’t understand why you believe so much in me.”
“I can’t even properly explain it myself.”
“Haa, your shoulders are getting heavier.”
“I have no intention of not doing anything shamelessly on my part after asking her to protect her daughter. Same with the 300 platinum coins I received from you. We are preparing a reward for you from this side as well, so take good care of Eleanor.”
“I’ll decline if it’s anything like money or status.”
“Hmph, I know by the time you’re not interested in that.”
Seeing Abros snoring, Eunhyeon narrowed her eyes and thought.
It doesn’t seem like it’s going to tell you what the reward is, and it looks like it’s plotting something, but there’s no way to know what it is.
“I’ll accept it as long as it’s not weird.”
“I get it.”
After the conversation between Eunhyeon and Avros was over, Eleanor, armed at the right time, left her mansion and approached the two of them.
“I am ready. What about the other two?”
“Maybe he will come soon. Illiana and I were leaving the house together, so she said that she would leave Erin with her Marquis Olivion.”
“Okay.”
Ugh
With the resonance of a small mana, Illyana and Riod appeared on top of the magic circle carved into the ground.
“I’m here?”
“Huh. He was willing to take care of Erin.”
“I’ll go back later to say thanks.”
“There is no need for that. It’s helping us, but of course it’s something we have to take care of as well.”
“Wow…”
When Eleanor saw her members gathered here again, she involuntarily let out her exclamation.
One of the best knights in the kingdom.
One of the continent’s greatest wizards.
The last one is a mysterious man who is presumed to have a power comparable to, or superior to, those great heroes.
Compared to these three, Eleanor’s life, which was relatively behind, made her think that the side dish placed in the corner, pushed by the main dishes, might be the menu.
How many people in the world have joined the hero’s party and been active?
Maybe he’s the first one?
“… Illyana. You’ve been spending too much time with Theresia lately, what the hell were you talking about?”
“You, you don’t know. Never mind. Hyuna, come over here for a second.”
“Huh?”
When Liode asked in a suspicious manner, Illyana frowned and blurted out her words, then she grabbed Eunhyun’s hand and led her to a corner, then she opened her mouth avoiding Eunhyun’s gaze with a slightly embarrassed face. .
“That, you know… What you made for me before, can you make one more set?”
“Did you make it before?”
“No, that… Why are you ‘Vibe?’, ‘Rotor?’ And ‘Dildo?’ Please make me one more set.”
“… ? Why?”
“That… Te, Theresia…”
The moment the name came out of her mouth, Eun-hyeon was startled and turned her head to look at Leo De.
Embarrassed by the stare staring at her, Eunhyeon tried to keep her composure and asked Illyana.
“… Why is the Marquis?”
“Now, he said he wanted to try it too, so instead of taking care of Erin, he made a promise to make a set…”
“Hey! Why do you say that!”
‘Is this crazy, really?’
What on earth did these women usually get together and talk about?
Eun-hyeon felt like she had opened a Pandora’s box she didn’t want to open, and she began to feel guilty towards Leo De.
