Necromancer's Evolutionary Traits Chapter 57

Episode 57. Return and the blacksmith, Grizman

Benjamin, stood gaping at the surreal sight unfolding before his eyes.

It was unbelievable that the opponent he had been playing with until just a moment ago had become a headless corpse in one match.

‘And that person… … .’

Adrias, his benefactor, carried the sword, but he did not expect much.

And as the owner of the magic sword, I was confident in my skills, so I decided to take this opportunity to repay the favor and help him.

‘How can he be so strong?’

After that, Adrias dealt with the rest of the enemies who rushed as if they were insane, with simple movements.

He never swung his sword more than once at a guy.

Swoop.

“Ouch.”

Awesome!

“Puff.”

It gave me goosebumps as it looked as if they were dancing in harmony with their enemies.

Her own fighting felt so crude compared to him.

‘If I were as strong as that man… … .’

Could the village be saved?

While thinking briefly, the battle ended in an instant.

That many enemies were cleared in about 3 minutes at most.

Contrary to the first impression, the bloody appearance of Adrias felt like a peerless swordsman.

‘I want to become stronger too.’

Seeing him, longing for strength burned like a fire in a dry field.

That longing soon dug into the magic sword held in Benjamin’s arms.

Whoops.

The demon sword cried, but Benjamin, who was fascinated by seeing Adrias, couldn’t feel it.

* * *

Clink!

Steam rose from the reagent bottle, which had been smashed against the wall.

The site where the reagent was broken began to slowly dissolve.

“sorry. Please give me another chance.”

A man kneeling beside the melting wall was trembling.

The owner who threw the reagent bottle was none other than Jester with a bizarre appearance.

“I must have said it was important, but you treat it like that?”

“I will check again, this time without hiring mercenaries.”

“Shut up! There are no survivors left, and there are no clues, so how are you going to find them!”

After breathing heavily for a moment, Jester gnashed his teeth and hit the research bench.

Things have been messing around lately.

He was dabbling in this and that to cover the rare materials and corpses of great value stolen by Adrias Cromwell.

In the meantime, he failed to secure the magic sword, which he had recently put the most effort into.

“Whoa. This guy and that guy, there is no part that I like.”

The page of indolence borrowed from Salem Yedidiah was still unwilling to return.

Hearing the news that Salem, who was putting off returning it with useless excuses, couldn’t secure the magic sword while piqued his nerves, made his patience burst.

Of course, there was nothing to say that he was the one who gave the final approval for the operation.

The downfall of this incident was that there was someone unexpectedly able to wield a demonic sword.

‘I never thought there would be a person who could wield a demonic sword and still be fine. Have I been chosen?’

The problem is that the owner’s whereabouts are unknown.

The mercenaries were massacred and the magic sword disappeared, so I could only guess that the owner of the magic sword was found, but I couldn’t figure out where it had disappeared.

He could have died somewhere, drunk with a magic sword.

“Like this dog… … . Leave the investigation aside and bring your next target straight away!”

“All right. Mr. Jester.”

* * *

Right after I dealt with all the fanatics, I rode a horse in the stable of the village head and headed to Merteong.

Arriving at Mertheon almost without a sigh, I dragged Benjamin onto the train.

After sitting in my seat for an hour or so, I apologized first.

“I’m saying this now, but I’m sorry that I got you involved in something pointless because of me.”

“no. it’s okay.”

Benjamin’s attitude has changed a bit since I dealt with the fanatics, but he looks like he’s looking at a great man he admires.

‘Was it that impressive?’

To be honest, I’m not sure.

If the opponent hadn’t been vigilant, the fight wouldn’t have ended so easily.

I’m satisfied with just using the sword wind in real combat, so I can’t even remember how I wiped out the rest of the little ones.

Now, anyway, at this point, we have to lure Benjamin to the academy, but what should we do?

As if he had guessed my troubles, Benjamin spoke first.

“That Adrias.”

“hmm?”

“Can I ask where Adrias is heading?”

“I am a student at Rodlen Academy, so I am going to the academy. School is starting soon.”

“is that so.”

It was funny to see Benjamin, who suddenly looked downcast and disappointed, but thinking that this was an opportunity, I hinted at it.

“I see you used a sword too?”

“yes? no. Compared to Adrias-sama, I am nothing.”

“no. Now I’m talking seriously. You seem talented.”

At my earnest words, Benjamin looked up and looked at me.

“Don’t you want to learn more about the sword?”

“A sword? how… … .”

“There is another academy called Monas attached to our academy. Would you like to go there?”

It was a sudden suggestion, and I saw his eyes widen.

However, he soon asked with a hesitant look.

“Can I go? I have no money.”

“I will support you. If you want to go, tell me.”

“Sponsorship?”

Benjamin’s embarrassed expression was cute.

He looked a bit grown up, but he’s still a baby.

“But why me… … ?”

“It’s just a relationship. If it’s a burden, you can pay it back later if it works out. What do you want to do?”

“If I go to Monas Academy, will I still be able to meet Adrias-sama?”

“Why? Well, I might see you sometime.”

Benjamin abruptly rose from his seat and began to bow.

His sudden action made me hastily stop him.

“it’s okay. what are you doing.”

“I just wanted to express my gratitude.”

“You don’t have to. i said If you want to repay the kindness, pay it back later when things go well.”

“yes. I will definitely repay this favor.”

good. Things turned out easier than I thought.

Now I have to somehow get this guy admitted… … .

‘I’ll try bumping into it first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another way.’

* * *

As soon as I arrived at the academy, I found out how to enter Monas Academy.

Fortunately, a letter of recommendation from a nobleman existed as a method of admission to Monas Academy.

‘I’m finally using being an aristocrat.’

I don’t realize it, but my title is an earl who belongs to the highest nobility among the 5th rank.

No matter how obscure the title, an earl was an earl.

Thanks to that, the letter of recommendation I wrote turned out to be a letter of recommendation written by a high-ranking aristocrat, the count.

The admission process for this semester had already been completed, but my strength was unexpectedly strong.

“Chemm. Greetings, Sir Cromwell.”

The Monas Academy admissions officer greeted me.

Originally, I was a nobleman that I couldn’t meet anyone, but as I said before, I wasn’t any noble.

Next to me was Benjamin with Rubens on his back, which he had changed to a less conspicuous cloth.

“The one this child recommends… … ?”

“okay. If you want to check your skills, you can do it.”

“no. How dare I check on the child Your Excellency brought.”

To be honest, from the outside, Benjamin didn’t seem to have any talent.

For a 15-year-old, his small size, height, and corrupt body honestly made it amazing to wield Rubens.

“I think it will be a bit difficult to enter this semester because it is already late. How about next semester?”

I thought it was a free pass, but was it a free pass for the next semester?

I have no choice but to use my special move here.

As I rummaged through my arms, the admissions official waved his hand.

“Sir Cromwell. I don’t take bribes. Even if you give me that… … .”

After confirming the potion that came out of my arms, he stopped talking and swallowed.

Perhaps this guy had been expecting it ever since he heard I was Adrias Cromwell.

“This is not a bribe. I’m just trying to get some potions because it looks like it’s going to be difficult. Have you ever heard of it? It’s called the Everlast Potion.”

“Everlast Potion! sure!”

“Oh, and these are the potions I recently invented, regeneration and recovery potions, respectively. This has also been confirmed by the Lord of the Rodelian Tower, so there are no side effects to worry about.”

The other person, who was blinded by the three types of potions I was giving him, swallowed and put the potions in his arms for a moment.

Benjamin was watching, wondering what the hell was going on.

“Hmm. It’s not true, but… … .”

He immediately took a piece of paper from his desk, scribbled on it, and handed it to me.

“Here is your admission confirmation.”

“haha. It’s good that the words flow well. When can I pay my tuition?”

“You can do it here and now.”

I swiped my card and shook his hand as I shook his hand.

“Thank you. I will make sure to remember this.”

“no. dismissal. I just helped with a small wish that my talented friend would grow up as quickly as possible.”

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

“yes. Please go in.”

It seemed that Benjamin didn’t know what was going on in an instant.

Let this brother take care of everything.

You just lie down and eat rice cakes.

Now that the admission was successful, he decided to match Benjamin’s sword.

You can’t use Rubens at the academy, so you’ll have to get a normal sword.

‘Anyway, how do I hide that?’

My head hurt when I saw Rubens, who had no choice but to stand out.

First of all, Benjamin seemed to want to hide it as much as possible because he knew the danger of Rubens, but apart from that, it seemed that he did not want to separate it from his body.

When I came to ‘My hammering is the best in the world’, which I visited last time, the counter assistant who recognized me looked at me with a strange look.

Uh huh Is that how you treat guests?

Of course, even with that expression, the sword will live here.

“I feel like I’m being given too much.”

Benjamin said with a look that he couldn’t stand the favor any longer.

Just trust my brother. That’s great.

“Don’t be lazy, choose quickly. Or are you going to use it? Does it look unnecessarily long and uncomfortable?”

When I pointed at Rubens, he shook his head slightly nervously.

Benjamin still seemed to think I didn’t know what the sword was.

In the end, Benjamin ran through the swords once again as he baptized me with a storm of gratitude.

To be honest, I wanted to entrust the order production, but the admission date was two days later, so I couldn’t help it.

While I was looking at the swords one by one, an unexpected person came out from the inside.

‘Oh oh. It’s been a while.’
