Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner Chapter 169

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 169

Rumbling!

Caravans led by camels set off. Brokers disguised themselves as traders and naturally lined up in the top row. A long caravan procession was heading towards the borders of the Holy Commonwealth.

And in the cramped wooden box of the wagon, Simon and Lethe were stuck together.

The two fought several times over posture problems.

Sitting position was impossible. The box was narrow and long in the shape of a rectangle, so two people had to crouch down to barely fit inside.

So I switched to lying down and facing each other, but our faces became too close. It was dismissed because Lette screamed and hit Simon in 5 seconds.

I tried to reverse the posture, but it was rejected again because it would create an embarrassing situation where the faces were turned toward each other’s legs in the postures where each other had to lie down and crouch.

I tried postures such as lying on my back and putting my legs on my chest or sending them back, but the space was extremely cramped and uncomfortable.

Eventually, it returned to face-to-face posture. This figure, crouching with legs crossed, was the best.

“…….”

“…….”

Rumbling.

There was a loud sound of wagon wheels rolling. And inside the box, Simon’s face was red all the way to the nape of his neck.

‘No, this is too close.’

Aside from the narrow space, it was a distance where you could feel the other person’s body odor. As they breathed, they could feel each other’s breath, tickling their throats.

Even so, I couldn’t even prohibit breathing, so I decided to control my gaze.

Simon looked at the ceiling, Lethe at the floor. Lethe bluffed again and again, saying that making eye contact with her would result in death.

“…….”

Lethe, who had been so riotous at first, seemed to have given up now, her eyes down and her cheek resting on the bottom of the box, motionless like a corpse. He seemed to have given up thinking and chose to become an inanimate object in a box.

While Simon was also sweating from the heat and stuffiness, Lethe raised her hands and gathered them neatly in front of her face. She then closed her eyes and began to pray in a very small voice.

“Great Goddess. I will gladly accept and endure such a terrible ordeal upon me. Against the will of the Goddess, not only did I conspire with the evil one, but I also lead him to the holy land. This sinner deserves to be struck by lightning right away and die. “

Mumble mumble mumble.

Simon laughed inwardly. Can you overcome this with faith?

If she could endure such an unbearable task as an ordeal of a goddess, then she could consider it her own know-how.

“But Goddess. Would you rather drop the lightning? Or make them roll in a filthy pig pen? Why did you punish me face to face with such a terrible person? I feel disrespectful, but I resent it a little.”

“It makes me feel bad to hear.”

“Shut up. Don’t eavesdrop on my prayers.”

rattle! rattle!

Two hours passed while being confined to the box like that.

Now I really felt like I was one with the carriage.

I am the carriage, and the carriage is me. Simon felt the feeling of Jim being loaded into the wagon.

‘……I didn’t know your time would be this long. Should I add some words?’

Outside the wagon, people were buzzing loudly, and the noise from the wheels was so loud that it seemed okay to make small talk.

Simon spoke to her cautiously.

“Re…….”

“Shut up.”

Her breath flowed and tickled his throat, leaving Simon speechless.

“Just stay still.”

It didn’t matter. Before she could even speak, she was rejected.

Simon gave up talking to her and looked away.

And again twenty minutes.

It was when Simon was reviewing in his head what he had learned.

“……Oh really.”

He heard Lethe’s voice. When Simon looked at her, she was glancing this way with the most embarrassing expression on her face.

“The boy insisted on it. Oh, shouldn’t we try it a second time?”

“what?”

“…Ah, Mr. It’s done.”

Looking down, she said quietly.

“Why did you call me earlier?”

“To talk.”

“…Try it.”

In fact, Lethe also noticed that this time was very difficult. Boring aside, it was mentally drudgery to just sit idly by in this wobbly box.

Simon smiled and opened his mouth.

“It’s nothing special, it’s personal…”

“Ah, speak softly! Watch your breath! Breath! Every time it touches your neck, you get goosebumps!”

“Then I’ll just keep my mouth shut.”

“……Personal something.”

Seeing Lethe clinging on uncharacteristically, Simon said with satisfaction in his heart.

“How did you meet my mother?”

“aha.”

Perhaps it was a not bad choice of topic, Lethe quietly raised her mouth.

“Are you asking me about that important thing now?”

“I’ve asked you several times, but you said you don’t want to dirty your precious memories by telling them to necromancers.”

“…Ah, when did I do that… Hehe! I don’t like it, but I’ll let you hear it specially this time.”

Lethe was a war orphan.

The place where she originally lived was a small mountain village located on the border between the Holy Federation and the Dark Union. It was a disputed area, and there was a time when a group of necromancers who were enraged after losing their comrades to the Priests came in and turned the village into a mess.

At the time, three-year-old Lethe saved her life by going inside a small storage closet, but lost her parents in the terror attack. And on that day, she sees a sight that will haunt her trauma for the rest of her life.

The villagers who loved him and the necromancers who laughed as if they were having fun raising the corpses of their parents as skeletons.

Eventually, the necromancers left the village, but Lethe, terrified, couldn’t even step out of the house.

A few days later, just before young Lethe died of starvation, a man came into the house.

Lethe hurriedly hid in a closet, but the person knocked on the closet and said a few words to Lete’s reassurance before slowly opening the door. Then Lethe.

-Sorry.

met a miracle

-Sorry. Sorry. we’re really sorry

Her name is Anna Cross.

At that time, Anna had completely broken up with Ephnell, entered the Dark Union, and even gave birth to Richard’s child. However, after taking care of her body, she stopped by her hometown, the Holy Federation.

She returned all of the enormous wealth she had accumulated during her active duty to society. With her own money, she founded over twenty monasteries throughout the country.

These monasteries were different from the general concept of monasteries that supervised worship and collected church tax in a village, and were ‘orphanages’. Children who lost their parents due to war and battles and became orphans were brought in and raised here.

Anna hid her identity several times a year and came over to the Holy Federation to help with the work of the monastery.

It was at this time that Anna and Lethe became acquainted with each other.

– Miss Anna!

Lethe followed Anna, who saved her life, like her own mother, and Anna liked her too.

-I want to become a great priest like you when I grow up!

At Lethe’s words, Anna smiled inexplicably.

-I have to become a better priest than my teacher.

-I heard that you were a miraculous saint! There is no better priest in the world than she is!

At that, Anna patted Lethe’s head with sad eyes and said.

-The teacher made so many people sad and difficult. Lethe, don’t do that.

No matter what Anna said, Lethe’s role model was Anna.

He built a solid faith in the monastery, and after going through 19 penances, he became a promising priest at a young age. The elders who were fascinated by her talent were all excited about the second coming of ‘Anna Cross’.

Although she couldn’t break Anna’s record for being the youngest, Lethe was happy that adults compared her to Anna. She grew up steadily and entered Fnel as the first student selected.

“I was a bit shocked when I heard the truth about Miss Anna.”

Lethe said in a weak voice.

“To think that the person who saved my life and respected the most, that legendary genius saintess, actually married a necromancer and gave birth to his child.”

Her voice simmered.

“It was honestly difficult for me to understand the teacher who came down from the position of a saint because of a necromancer, suffered from an incurable disease that didn’t know when and how she would die, and suffered only in a village where there was nothing.”

“…….”

Simon was so shocked that he said nothing.

‘There must be a reason why Lethe hates necromancers so much.’

A terrible memory that is so deeply embedded in the heart that it remains as a trauma. Who would not be resentful at the sight of a necromancer giggling as if his parents had become undead right in front of him?

On top of that, having received religious education over the past years, her hostility toward Necromancers must have increased to the extreme, and Lethe was doing her best to treat Simon and Richard to that extent.

“But I don’t even know what’s going on in the world.”

Her gaze turned to Simon.

“To see you face to face with that necromancer like this and put your flesh on it. I really want to bite my tongue and die.”

“…….”

In his heart, Simon, as a fellow necromancer, wanted to apologize on behalf of those who made fun of his parents’ corpses. But such an apology is empty because it means nothing.

There is no substance, and there is no meaning. She will give her no comfort.

so.

“I’ll try to change your perception.”

All Simon could do, as always, was to try.

“No matter what you do, it will never change.”

Lethe snorted. Still, it was more tolerant than the previous despising and sarcastic tone.

percussion.

At that moment, the two of them were startled and stopped talking. There was a sound of knocking directly on the box.

Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.

The sound of five short beatings in quick succession. This signal meant only one thing.

“Prepare. Now we will enter the Divine Gate.”

The Divine Gate was, simply put, a kind of checkpoint. If a person or baggage has an evil energy, the color of the door becomes cloudy and the Heretic Inquisitors are to search it immediately.

After the broker gave the signal, the movement of the wagon slowed down. The wagons are passing through the gate of divinity one after another while standing in a line.

“Are you concerned?”

At Lethe’s nonchalant question, Simon simply smiled.

“I’m confident.”

Simon raised the divinity. Then, his whole body was covered with divinity so that the energy of the core on the side of his heart would not be discovered.

It is burdensome to even raise a small voice now. The two of them closed their mouths and only rolled their eyes.

Percussion!

Then there was a loud sound as if someone had put their palm on the wagon. Lethe, who had been caught off guard, was startled and was seen covering her mouth.

If you make a mistake and make a noise, you will be caught right away.

thud!

This time, it seems that someone is on top of the wagon.

‘Ah, you know this, don’t you?’

Lethe struggled to endure the desire to kill them all. Simon rolled his eyes.

I heard a man in a wagon talking to someone. When the broker complained about damage to the goods, the man reluctantly came down.

‘Now you’re entering the door.’

Simon, a divine user, was confident not to be discovered, but he couldn’t help being nervous.

Then Lethe wiggled and moved closer to Simon. Simon tensed up as he felt her breath.

“Stay still.”

Lette put her hands on Simon’s chest. The flow of divinity that flowed from her body covered Simon’s whole body like a film.

and after a while

Hwaaak!

Simon felt his body go through something foreign. He had safely passed through the divine gate.

‘Haaa, I lived.’

When Simon was relieved, she giggled and wiggled.

“Welcome, Necromancer.”

The whispering voice sounded very close. She raised her index finger to her lips and winked at one of her eyes.

“To the Holy Federation.”
