Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 272

The strongest necromancer with evolution characteristics (272)

tenth playable

After finishing my business at Cromwell, I moved right away.

The place I was headed to was Muriel, a port city that I am now quite familiar with.

“It’s my first time here.”

Vivian was amazed as she looked at the endlessly expanding sea behind the vibrant cityscape.

Was this your first time seeing the sea itself?

“Is this your first time at the sea?”

“huh.”

“Since we’ve come all the way here, should we just stay for one day and then go?”

“Is that okay?”

“it’s okay. “I have some spare time.”

There was no contact from the Academy yet, so I had some time to spare.

Although I’ve been away for two days already, I don’t think anyone has been able to interpret the sword marks I left in two days.

“Then just one day.”

“All right.”

I nodded to Vivian’s words and headed to the luxury inn that Minus had told me about.

‘… … for a moment.’

I moved naturally, but when I thought about it, wasn’t I my lord?

I feel like something has happened… … .

“When are you going to hire mercenaries?”

“Let’s just get a room and go right away.”

The reason Muriel came all the way was because of none other than a mercenary.

I came to Vivian simply by saying that there was a mercenary I knew here and that I was entrusting him with a request, but in fact, I had more business with the mercenary than the request.

’10th playable character.’

A mercenary character who is a mixed race between beastman and human.

At that time, the Southern Kingdom Union had just arrived in the Empire.

As it was, the ruins that Paisy found were an episode for her to solve.

However, because my actions changed the future, not only did the schedule change, but unplanned forces also gathered together.

So, I have to go and visit.

“Welcome to Grand Philips. “Do you have a reservation?”

When we arrived at the inn, an employee inside the building welcomed us.

It was a luxury inn with a manager, but the real owners were the Morhaime family, and you could think of it as a modern five-star hotel.

“This is Adrias Cromwell.”

“Your Excellency Cromwell. “He should come inside.”

And thanks to Minus’ convenience, I was able to enjoy this inn without any burden.

The employee did not verify my identity.

If you need confirmation, I was going to show you the card Minus gave me to use when you come to Muriel, but there’s no need.

He probably knew my face because he had been told in advance.

We were taken to the best room and soon unpacked.

As for luggage, I didn’t have much, so after looking around a bit, I left right away.

“Please leave the keys with us and we will give them to you when you return. Have a nice trip.”

It was a luxurious inn, befitting a port city where money was collected.

Vivian and I came out after being seen off by an employee and headed straight to the mercenary guild.

As all kinds of logistics were gathered and there was a lot of work to be done, the mercenary guild was bound to be active, and as expected, a much larger guild building was found compared to other places.

“Come on!”

There were so many people that it was scary.

Meanwhile, the receptionist confirmed that we had entered and greeted us.

“What request did your team receive this time?”

“You have to go downstairs and have a look.”

“The transport ship escort went across the water?”

“Uh, it’s not like that. “I’m just sick of the sea.”

Based on their clothing and conversations, most of them seemed to be mercenaries.

Occasionally, I saw people who seemed to have come to make requests and servants of nobles, but their numbers were small compared to the mercenaries.

I walked straight across and approached the reception desk.

“What brought you here?”

“I’m looking for a mercenary.”

“name is?”

“Agatha.”

“40,000 will.”

When I handed over the money, the receptionist immediately started yelling at someone.

“Hey, Agatha! “I’m a guest!”

Then, a mercenary with a hood covering his face approached from the corner.

Because of his beast ears, he always wore a hooded cloak.

“Are you Agatha?”

“That’s true, but how did you know?”

It was a voice full of caution.

I knew that she was a mixed beast-man race and that she had grown up in a difficult environment, but I was more wary than expected.

“My name is Adrias Cromwell.”

“… … Earl Cromwell?”

Has my name become famous now?

When I nodded, Agatha, who had been studying me closely with eyes hidden behind her hood, shook her head.

“I understand that Count Cromwell has been appointed as a professor at Rodlen Academy.”

“you’re right. “I had some business to do, so I came out for a moment.”

“Can you prove it?”

Now that I think about it, there’s no way to prove it.

Cromwell’s signet ring was also on Amy.

“How can I prove it?”

“Why are you asking me that? “You have to prove it yourself.”

It’s difficult.

The badges representing academy professors were still being made, so there was nothing to prove identity.

At that time, Vivian, who had been watching from the side, came forward.

“The crime of insulting a nobleman.”

“what?”

“Get down on your knees and pray. If your lord forgives you, I will spare your life.”

Vivian immediately pulled out her sword.

Due to the sudden attack, all eyes within the mercenary guild were focused on us.

“what? “Is it a fight?”

“Are you a nobleman?”

As the situation became more complicated, Agatha casually knelt down.

And then he bluntly asked for forgiveness.

“I never thought you would really be Your Excellency. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“… … All right. wake up.”

Honestly, I thought I would ignore Vivian’s words.

Because there was no proof that I was the real Adrias Cromwell.

However, if you think about it the other way around, impersonating a nobleman was a serious crime that could be punishable by death.

To that extent, Vivian’s guts, or rather her charisma, must have paid off.

“Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Excellency.”

Vivian, who had been watching the conversation between me and Agatha, sheathed her sword again.

Then the people turned around with disappointed expressions, as if they had missed out on an interesting sight.

“May I ask how you came to visit me?”

“I heard a rumor that your skills are good. “Do you have any work to do?”

“No, but… … .”

“Can you possibly accept my request?”

Agatha still looked at me with a suspicious look in her eyes and then glanced outside the building.

“Can we move to another location and have a conversation? “I would like to hear your request in a quiet place.”

“Please do so.”

I nodded to Agatha’s words and came out of the guild building.

Even as I followed her to the quiet teahouse, I felt suspicious.

‘Something is wrong.’

Agatha was never this wary character.

Moreover, looking at his current behavior, it seemed like he had no team members.

Basically, mercenaries move in teams, but being alone meant there was something wrong.

“I will tell you the truth. I’m a private mercenary now. “There is no team.”

As soon as we arrived at the teahouse, Agatha spoke first.

I was just thinking about it, so I quietly listened to her.

“I don’t know how you came to know me, but if you entrust the work to me, there will be problems in carrying out the request.”

“okay.”

It seemed that Agatha’s flow was severely distorted.

From the beginning, I was only thinking about her, so it didn’t matter whether there was a team or not, but if I gave the request without haste, it would only arouse suspicion.

However, the work of mercenaries was diverse.

It wasn’t always something the team could solve, so we tried our luck.

“Actually, my job was to be my own escort.”

“escort… … If that’s the case, we’ll need a team even more.”

“no. I actually like Agatha better because she is an individual. “I’m not looking for a lot of escorts.”

I could see Agatha’s guard rising slightly at my words.

But I was telling the truth honestly and had no hesitation.

“There will be an expedition in about two weeks. “In addition to you, the guard will be accompanied by the guard knight next to me and three of his mercenaries.”

“Is it a secret what the expedition is about?”

“yes. “I can tell you this after the contract is signed.”

“Then I’m sorry, but I decline.”

Agatha bowed her head politely.

She has definitely become more cautious than the original Agatha I knew.

“Would you like to at least hear about the compensation?”

“no. “It would only hurt my heart to hear the compensation for a request I had decided to refuse anyway, so I will decline.”

“500 million will.”

Where are you running?

Agatha paused at the amount I suddenly mentioned.

“… … yes?”

“Advance fee of 30 million. 170,000 upon arrival on the day of escort fulfillment. The remaining 300 million when the escort is completed.”

Just signing the contract costs a whopping 30 million will.

Is that all? It was a total of 500 million will.

This amount is enough to hire a special mercenary upon request.

“I don’t ask for much. All you have to do is follow me for a few days.”

“… … .”

I felt Agatha’s eyes become dizzy.

Looking at that picture, it looks like they are suffering from financial difficulties.

I leisurely rested my chin on the table and looked at Agatha.

“Oh, there are incentives too. “I’ll tell you that when I decide to sign a contract.”

“Ugh… … .”

Although I couldn’t see it because it was covered by the hood, the cat’s floppy ears were clearly visible.

Agatha hesitated for a moment and then cautiously opened her mouth.

“Why are you asking such a large amount? “I’m just a mercenary.”

“Because I just know that’s not the case. “My vision of people is quite accurate.”

Agatha looked at me with eyes that still couldn’t believe what I said.

To be honest, even in my opinion, it seems like a suspicious request.

They offered 500 million won in the name of escorting a mercenary with uncertain performance.

However, for a mercenary with uncertain performance, 500 million was an enormous amount of money.

“All right. “I accept the request.”

“You chose well. Would you like to sign a contract right now?”

“yes.”

Agatha eventually surrendered to capital.

My guard was higher than I expected, so I thought it might be a little dangerous, but I did it in the end.

We immediately went back to the mercenary guild and finalized the contract.

The 30 million won advance fee was immediately paid and the exact details of the request were also provided.

“Ancient ruins… … .”

“There are a lot of people going with us, so you probably won’t have to worry too much.”

I tried my best to say it, but she looked like there was something wrong.

That had to be the case because ancient ruins meant that it was a rough terrain where you never knew what kind of unexpected situation could happen.

“ha. All right.”

“If we successfully complete the excavation of the ruins, I will give you 3% of my share.”

“yes.”

Agatha quickly regained her composure.

You are still quick to judge and accept situations.

So it must have survived.

“Then I’ll see you in Cromwell in two weeks.”

“All right.”

When the contract ended and I returned to the room, it was already dusk.

Still, I felt proud because I achieved the goal I wanted.

“You won’t run away, right?”

Vivian suddenly said.

“Even if you run away during a request, you will be buried in the industry. “It is a much bigger crime to just take the advance money and run away.”

“But why are you taking that person with you?”

“I heard from someone I know that I have good skills. “He came after hearing that he was in the Empire.”

“Hmm… … .”

There was a bit of doubt in Vivian’s eyes.

Because of the things I had done in the meantime, I couldn’t say anything because of those suspicious eyes.

smart!

“Your Excellency Cromwell, I apologize for disturbing you during your break.”

“no. “What’s going on?”

“Your Excellency’s letter has arrived.”

letter?

I guess it was either the rally or Evan that found out I was here.

I immediately opened the door and received a letter from the inn staff.

It was a natural step to scan before receiving.

“thank you.”

“Have a good day.”

The employee disappeared and I opened the letter while looking at Vivian.

“Evan sent it.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a trick that was done at the rally.

I slowly interpreted the letter Evan sent me in code.

‘Results of the investigation into Paisi and the forces you sent. As you said, each of them is actively moving in the shadows. In particular, many movements of different races presumed to belong to the scene were captured… … .’

There was a lot of work entrusted to Evan, and in the meantime, he also sent me information.

Of course, he didn’t do it alone, but I was always grateful.

‘… … PS, Agatha, who you previously asked me to locate, has traces of contact with Sin. Please check. end.’

… … what?

I once again interpreted the part written as a postscript.

But even if I read it again, the content was the same.

“Is Agatha in contact with Shin?”
