Episode 1086
After hearing the report from Simon, the commander of the 7th Corps, all sorts of arguments broke out at Kizen headquarters.
Now that the war against an organization based in another dimension is underway, there is talk about whether it is right to expand the front line by touching the 1st Corps commander who is on the same side.
-I admit that the recent actions of the 1st Corps are frowning. But as a necromancer, you have to distinguish between priorities.
-Ultimately, I think it is a dispute between corps and corps. Why did the 7th Legion go to Mahihalla? Let the war between legions take care of itself. Taking one side only makes matters worse.
A sharp rebuttal came from the other side as well.
-Are you getting old and your ear holes are clogged? You didn’t say emperor!
Emperor! Can you imagine what the 1st Corps is doing now? I’m trying to break an inviolable territory!
-It is dangerous in a different sense than association. No, maybe even more dangerous.
Those in charge, including Kizen’s elders, were unable to reach a consensus.
“… … .”
And Kazan was not in the conference room, but was waiting with his arms crossed in the hallway under the stairs.
He did not have the authority to enter the conference room, but just by listening to the stories flowing in, he could tell that the situation was taking an unusual turn.
“Kajan.”
At that time, a necromancer agent with a raven cloak waving was walking quickly. Kazan stood up and greeted.
“Are you here?”
It was Agent Crow, Aleister, a pro-Nephthys figure within the headquarters.
He said in a firm voice.
“Looking at the growing voices, it looks like this is an issue that will take a long time. “Let’s move right now, even if it’s just us.”
“Thank you for your decision.”
Kazan and Aleister turned to leave the hallway.
But, as if he had been there from the beginning, a man appeared in a crooked
posture at the very end of the hallway.
“Where are you busy? “Senior Aleister.”
Another Raven agent stood blocking the passage. The man with a chewy twig in his mouth was Quinter, a friend and raven classmate of Barhil, a curse professor.
Aleister’s expression crumpled.
“Get out of there, Quinter.”
“The superiors will not let anyone leave.”
Quinter grabbed the branch he was chewing on with his lips and held it out, emphatically speaking.
“Nothing.”
“… … There is no time to waste with such idle talk. “You never know when the
1st Corps will show up with evidence.”
“You’re so worried, I heard it’s the emperor’s tomb? When are we going to move everything we’ve been digging all this time? And in urgent times like this, strict social consultation is necessary.”
One of the most fatal shortcomings of the Dark Alliance system.
It was not a system ruled by one supreme being like the emperor, but the interests of numerous land owners or rulers were complexly intertwined. Keygen headquarters was no exception.
“I won’t ask you twice.”
Aleister lowered his posture and created a pitch darkness.
Quinter laughed and chewed the branch loudly. Then there was a crash on the wall! And long, large teeth marks appeared.
“You should try it.”
Keygen Headquarters’ core forces, when the two crow agents stretched out their arms towards each other in pitch darkness.
“I’ll send it to you, Quinter.”
Quinter’s movements flinched and stopped.
This time, a man in a white suit was walking with his hands in his pockets. Quinter looked behind her, a wrinkle etched into her forehead.
“Some bastard ordered me… … oh! Oooh!”
The strength in Quinter’s eyes disappeared as if it were a lie, and the corners
of his mouth were torn with joy.
“Bahil! “My motivation!”
Bahil, a professor of lore and an active crow, smiled and waved his hand. Quinter smiled and did as Bahil said and moved out of the way.
Aleister and Kazan looked somewhat puzzled, but quickly left through the passage.
“Hey! How long has it been since this appeared at headquarters? huh?”
Quinter approached with a bright smile and tapped Bahil’s chest with his elbow in a friendly way. Then, the moment he retrieved his hand and looked at it,
his arm was twisted like a twist.
“Anyway, he’s a bit picky.”
Quinter burst out laughing as if he wasn’t even in pain. Bahil opened her mouth.
“If I tell the elders that it was my order, they will overlook it.”
“Thank you for that! But why do you bother to come forward? “What’s in this?”
Bahil walked slowly and waved his hand towards the back where Quinter was.
“Because my student is in that village.”
Quinter chewed on a branch and spat on the floor.
“Is it Simon Pollentia again? “I’m so jealous.”
* * *
Although discussions were still taking place inside headquarters, Aleister and
agents from Keygen headquarters were quickly deployed to Mahihala Village.
They took control of the village in the blink of an eye, gathered the people in
the village hall, and headed to the emperor’s tomb through the secret passage
Simon had mentioned.
however.
“… … “It’s absurd.”

Surprisingly, the 1st Corps simply collapsed the mountain and completely destroyed the emperor’s tomb. Without even thinking about taking anything out or
doing anything else, he boldly destroyed the evidence itself.
Aleister wanted to find out what they were trying to hide, even at such lengths.
“It doesn’t matter how long it takes.”
There was venom in Aleister’s eyes.
“The excavation begins.”
The situation was calming down to some extent.
All of the villagers of Mahihala were moved to another area and investigated by Kizen. All of the key figures who followed the instructions of the 1st Corps or
served the emperor had already disappeared, and the remaining residents were
a mix of those who knew or had no choice but to cooperate with the 1st Corps, and those who did not know them at all.
After completing an intensive investigation, it appeared that they would go to
live in another territory instead of Mahihala. First of all, because of the incident, it was impossible to go to Mahihala right away.
And Simon, as the corps commander and student council president, went to the Kizen headquarters and gave his explanation.
Things he had seen, things the 1st Legion had done, clues about the Emperor,
and even their military power.
-For the emperor
If this were peacetime, it would have been an issue that shook the continent.
However, the current dark coalition is having a hard time preventing the formation of an association. At a time when the elders were still arguing over the expansion of the front line, Nephthys returned.
She said with a bright smile.
– Smash it.
-yes? But now it is too late to wage an all-out war against the 1st Corps… … !
-If you are worried about an all-out war, you can start by attacking those outside the area.
Under her instructions, agents from Kizen Headquarters scattered across the continent and simultaneously raided the external 1st Corps forces.
The title is a comprehensive investigation into the Mahihala incident.
It was a price to pay in its own way. Nephthys seemed to have intended to attack the 1st Legion’s headquarters by reacting and launching an attack on the Kizen headquarters, but his 1st Legion retreated cleanly from its occupied territory even after suffering damage.
That’s how the situation came to an end. Of course, it was not disclosed to the media. The war against the Order alone was confusing, but if the 1st Corps issue erupted, it would be like a powder keg exploding on the continent.
An uneasy peace continued, like the eve of a storm, as if it could be shattered
at the touch of a finger.
Meanwhile, Simon was busy as soon as he returned to Locke Island.
There were two major gains from this work. Manus with a new sense of reason, and a magic sword.
First, I made an appointment with Benja Vanilla, went to Langerstine, and showed Manus to her.
“It’s really amazing, gentlemen! The symptoms of runaway have completely disappeared! but… … !”
The new ‘Manus of Sorrow’ took no action or showed any symptoms.
He thought and thought like an ancient undead, but he didn’t say anything or
move. Unlike in Mahihalla, he remains silent even when I give him the magic sword. It just ‘exists’ as if it were still dead.
The only time he reacts is when something about the Emperor is mentioned.
However, that is only the awareness that lies at the bottom of the thought rising and moving, and Benya called it nothing more than the fluttering of a dragonfly with its head cut off.
“If he fought against the ancient-level undead of the 1st Legion, he definitely
has potential, but I think we’ll have to wait and see.”
“yes. “Thank you for your advice, sir.”
And next.
It’s time to learn about the magic sword.
Simon first went to the library and read all the books about the ‘demon sword’.
Of course, the explanations in each book were very different, and the types of
magic swords and their powers were also different, so there was nothing that I
could completely organize in my head. Juul only mastered his own magic sword
and knew nothing about other magic swords.
Then I saw one sentence.
I’ve heard of it. The magic sword is an item called the king of curses that puts
a curse on the opponent just by cutting it.
Then, fortunately, the highest level witch doctor on the continent is located on Rock Island. Simon immediately made an appointment to visit Bahil.
After class, it was time for the appointment.
“It’s been a while since I saw you. “Student President.”
Chehecle, the chief assistant in the Department of Geography, was waiting in
front of the lab with a smiling face.
Simon, who knew her, also greeted her warmly and asked how she was doing.
“Then let’s go in.”
She opened the door.
“The professor will be waiting.”
“thank you. Assistant teacher.”
Simon neatly adjusted his uniform and entered the lab. You can still see the large and clean interior of Bahil’s laboratory. The large blackboard hanging at the end of the wall over there was a trademark of Bahil Lab, and even today it was filled with all kinds of formulas.
And I saw Bahil sitting with his back to Simon, holding a newspaper and sipping coffee. Simon said.
“long time no see. “Professor Bahil.”
“Ah, student Simon. Sit.”
He opened his palms without even looking back.
‘huh?’
Simon, aware that the overall atmosphere was slightly different from usual, carefully sat down.
“I heard the story.”
Bahil also sat down and opened his mouth. Simon quickly responded.
“Yes, Professor! “Something happened while I was deployed.”
“It was a very big deal.”
“yes! In Mahihala Village, the 1st Corps… … !”
“Participating in Pentamonium’s Undead Parade as a Behemoth ship and winning the top prize. “It is an amazing achievement.”
Simon, huh? He made an expression like this.
Isn’t that a bit of an old story? Of course, I thought you were going to talk about the 1st Corps.
Thinking like that, Simon’s eyes turned to the front page of the newspaper article Bahil was reading.
“It was very impressive. “I never thought I got help from hematology out of the blue this time.”
Bahil put his palm on the newspaper and smiled. This was the first time Simon felt Bahil’s smiling face so scary.
“This made me a little jealous. “If they had come to me, I would have offered a much better alternative.”
‘I don’t think so!’
If I had gone to Bahil, I thought maybe he would have suggested a weapon that would use the vast darkness of the Behemoth battleship to pour out a wide-range curse.
Of course, it was Bahil’s idea, so it would have been powerful, but it was different from the direction Simon had in mind.
“sorry. professor. In my short insight, I think there is no better way than strengthening the SS and then equipping it on battleships.”
“bodyguard.”
Bahil snapped his fingers, took out a quill, and began scribbling down equations on a blank piece of paper.
“If it were me, I would have paid attention to the SS’s life link effect. This is a
risk, but the science of turning risk into a gift is a curse. for example.”
Bahil’s quill danced on the white paper.
In an instant, he created a new technology that throws the SS to inflict damage to the opponent by magically inflicting the ‘SS’ effect on the enemy, and then destroys the SS.
Bahil held up his quill with a smile on his face.
“Now, like this.”
‘… … ‘Just improvise such a complicated theory!’
I’m not just saying it as it happens. Even if I skimmed through it with the knowledge of a third-year Keygen student, there were no problems with the theory
and formulas.
Simon’s body trembled. Even if you’re a genius, you have to be a genius. This
person was truly on a completely different level.
“Oh, of course, Student Simon didn’t come here to talk about this. “Let’s get to the point.”
Bahil put down his quill.
Simon suddenly came to his senses and opened his mouth.
“Nothing different, I obtained the magic sword used by the 1st Corps in Mahihalla.”
“Demon sword?”
Bahil’s expression frowned.
“I’m sure you don’t mean to rot your wonderful brain by handling such vulgar
items.”
“Oh, I have no intention of becoming a magic sword user! But I don’t know what to do with this… … .”
DangBig cherryAt that time, the sound of the end of class sounded on the clock. Bahil stood
up, took her robe, and put it on.
“I guess I should get off work. “I will continue this story later when I have the
chance.”
Bahil left those words and walked out.
A tone of voice that feels like a cold wind blowing.
Chehecle, who was caught in the middle, looked at Simon and Bahil alternately with a puzzled expression on his face, then quickly bowed to Simon and followed Bahil.
-no! What are you doing! Student Simon came to visit us in person!
-If you think that professors always give answers, it would be difficult to say that you, as an educator, have a positive influence on students.
-What nonsense are you talking about again? What kind of rhythm are you as
king me to dance to?
It rattled.
The lab door was closed. Simon, who was left alone, was blank for a moment
and then looked at the newspaper again.
Simon covered his forehead.
‘… … I think I made some mistake.’
* * *
The next morning.
Summoning Department Dormitory.
Simon was trudging down the stairs and walking toward the lobby. Here and there, his classmates and second-year juniors waved their hands and pretended
to know him.
“Chairman, what’s going on? “You don’t look good.”
When one of my classmates asked, Simon shook his head with a smile.
“No, I guess it’s because I’m not fully awake yet.”
“okay? “If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
As his classmate walked to the side and disappeared, Simon covered his forehead.
‘Now that I think about it, I think I haven’t been paying enough attention to Professor Bahil or curse science.’
In fact, when Bahil heard that Simon was the commander of the treacherous legion, he was so enthusiastic that he stayed away all vacation and created a new study called ‘Legion Curseology’.
Of course, Simon also applied the teachings, such as using this technology to
apply it to the jungle of screams, but it was nothing compared to Bahil’s enthusiasm in creating a discipline for himself.
‘Actually, you might be disappointed in me. I included the names of both professors, but why didn’t I think of including Professor Bahil’s name as well?’
In addition, I remembered that I made a lot of mistakes on the paper test in my general elementary school class. Simon took a deep breath. He was disappointed in himself, and it occurred to him that he might not be happy that he suddenly came to visit talking about a ‘demon sword’.
‘For now, let me find out how to use the magic sword on my own.’
Howl, howl, howl!
But when I came down the stairs, there were a lot of students gathered at the
bulletin board in front of the lobby. Simon, wondering what was going on, approached there.
“oh my god! oh my god! Professor Bahil is giving a special lecture!”
“If it’s Professor Bahil, I definitely have to go.”
“Jamie said he would abort the mission and come back just to hear this?”
‘Special lecture?’
Simon looked at the post with wide eyes.
‘uh?’
