Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 423
“I don’t think it’s necessary to explain the pitch. I’ll go over the most important points.”
Saying that, Lethe opened the back page of her notebook.
“What if it’s the core?”
“The stagnation of the cold.”
She flicked the quill between her fingers.
“The severe cold covering this region right now is neither the wrath of the Snow Woman nor a temporary climate change.”
“Then what do you think?”
The corner of her mouth went up.
“Anomalies in dungeons.”
It was a concept that Simon already knew.
The moment a dungeon occurs on the continent, an unknown disaster that cannot be explained naturally occurs around it.
It is defined as an abnormal phenomenon in the dungeon on the continent.
“Have you ever been to a dungeon?”
“Yes. Just recently.”
Simon himself had seen the abnormal phenomenon in the dungeon with his own eyes.
The volcanic island I went to by boat during the ‘promotional evaluation’, which was the last exam in the first year.
Originally, it was said to be a peaceful island inhabited by indigenous people. However, despite the geological structure in which volcanoes could not occur, large-scale volcanoes erupted.
And the portal to the dungeon revealed in the middle of the magma. I still have clear memories of the entire freshman year diving into magma.
“Then the story might be quicker.”
Lethe grabbed a quill and sketched out the cave at the top of the mountain in her notebook.
“A few days ago, when I lit up the mountain with white magic, the cave you saw looked roughly like this, right?”
“……There really is nothing you can’t do.”
Lethe’s sketches were also of a high standard. She tapped it with the tip of her quill.
“I think this cave is the entrance to the dungeon.”
Simon nodded and crossed his arms.
“That’s what I think. If this prediction is correct, destroying the dungeon will end the current anomaly, right?”
“I guess so.”
Lethe closed her eyes and took a sip of the smoky tea. She smelled of warm grain.
“This dungeon must have existed without being cleared for quite a long time. It’s to the extent that the anomaly extends across the mountain range to Kula. It must have been at least several decades.”
“Then what about the legend of the snow woman and the people of Misenashi?”
“I told you about fairy tales earlier, right? What do you think is the purpose of the people of Misenashi?”
Simon closed his eyes for a moment and thought.
“plural.”
Soon, his mouth opened.
“Revenge for the village of Kula who drove them to the Cold Mountains.”
Instead of answering, Lethe spread her palms with a chic expression. The two are paired up! I high-fived loudly.
“That’s correct. Originally, Kula must have been the place where the people of Misenashi lived. But they were tricked by the Kula people and exiled to the snowy mountains, and they have a vendetta against Kula.”
She took up her quill and drew a north-north circle in the cave she had just drawn.
“While sharpening their blades for revenge, one day, they accidentally discovered this dungeon in a snowy mountain. And they decided to take advantage of the anomalies caused by the dungeon. The legend of the snow woman? It’s a deception to hide the identity of the dungeon.”
When a dungeon is discovered in the Holy Commonwealth, a paladin, priest, treasure hunter, etc. are gathered and a raid party is dispatched.
So, the people of Migenashi must have desperately tried to hide the dungeon. If the dungeon is destroyed, revenge against Kula will be impossible.
“Here it is.”
Lette dropped the torn pieces of paper from Subspace’s bag.
“It’s a sword stuck to a rock when we searched the snowy mountains yesterday.”
“What is this?”
“Amulet. It’s a barrier using pure elemental magic. It’s an effect that makes you see illusions or get lost.”
Simon quietly glanced over the remains of the amulet.
“It’s the people of Misenashi. They’re using magic to prevent anyone from approaching the dungeon.”
Lethe nodded.
“Hmm, but I still don’t know what that ‘sacrifice’ is.”
“I think that’s also a means for Migenashi to prove and maintain the existence of the snow woman to the villagers.”
Simon is, at worst, human sacrifice. I thought it was a ritual to offer a person as a sacrifice to the snow woman.
It was probably used as a means to get out of Misgenashi’s control, or to eliminate anyone who witnessed the secret. It is highly likely that the teachers who came before were also sacrificed as sacrifices.
“Let’s be careful. We could be targeted as well.”
“yes.”
Lethe let out a big yawn.
“Then, I’m going to close my eyes for a while and leave at dawn today. I’m also worried about Kula’s situation, and I want to find the dungeon as soon as possible and settle it.”
“okay.”
Lethe, who was about to enter the master bedroom, turned around to see Simon.
“Your expression still doesn’t feel fresh, are you worried about anything?”
“If the legend of the snow woman was made up by Misenashi…”
Simon crossed his arms with a worried face.
“Who is that gray-haired woman I’ve been seeing all along?”
“aha.”
Lethe smiled.
“Is that the woman behind you?”
The hair all over her body stood up.

Simon moved his creaking head and looked back.
Wheein-!
There was no one.
When she turned her head back, Lethe grabbed her stomach and said ‘Ahaha!’ was laughing Simon’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“Lethe!!”
“It’s interesting. It’s the revenge that I made fun of while talking about the saint in the cathedral.”
She pursed her lips and ran into the living room. Simon sighed.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Then her voice came from the room.
“Who is pretending to be a snow woman to scare us and warn us?”
* * *
Early morning when everyone is asleep.
Simon and Lethe put on their outerwear and left the house. I secretly ran in the dark, looking around to see if anyone was there.
“The town is so quiet today.”
Simon said.
“Well, it must be because everyone is sleeping.”
Lethe said.
The two of them crossed the field at the shortest distance and arrived at the gate of the village.
The barrier was transparent, but only the exit to the outside was glowing bluish.
“let’s go.”
Simon took the lead and passed through the barrier and came out.
and.
“……!”
His face hardened with bewilderment.
‘No, Lethe! If you come in now…!’
Simon tried to stop him, but Lette had already arrived by his side. Her pupils also shook.
“…….”
“…….”
‘Everyone’ in Esqail village came out dressed in fur and glared at them with frightening eyes.
“I would have told you.”
percussion. percussion.
And the leader of this village emerged from the crowd with a cane.
“Never leave town until the work is done.”
It was Nenia Misgenasi.
She glared at Simon and Lethe.
“…The two teachers broke the rules of the village. Why did you come to this village?”
an irreversible situation.
Just as Lethe was about to say something in a fit of rage, Simon stepped forward, holding her on the shoulder.
“I’m here to teach the children.”
“You’re lying even in this situation. I knew that you guys kept going out of the barrier and doing suspicious things.”
Nennia extended her arm and pointed to the side.
A guard guarding the barrier lay down with severe injuries. On her chest, there were frozen fingernail marks that looked like Snow Woman’s, and the barrier was also damaged.
“I bought the Snow Woman’s wrath!”
starting with someone’s cry.
“I asked you to stay like that!”
“Because of you, even the poor village suffered damage!”
Angry residents poured out their anger and protests.
Lethe glanced at Simon. Simon was watching her too. The two exchanged glances.
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
Lethe opened her mouth and opened her arms.
“I’ll accept whatever punishment you give me. For example-“
Her mouth twisted.
“Saying young people as ‘sacrifices’ to Snow Woman to calm her anger.”
At that, the murmur around them abruptly stopped.
Lette glared at Petria, who was next to Nenia. Petria couldn’t even meet her eyes and hung her head down like her guilty one.
“Petria. You said there were no peers in the village? There’s no way people who were more afraid of being kicked out of the village because of the rules did not go out on their own. The teachers who are outsiders are also missing. This is also…”
“stop!”
Nenia Misgenasi took another step forward with her cane.
“As expected, they came to investigate the disappearance of former teachers? They probably won’t be able to find them. They also violated the village’s rules and were kicked out of the barrier. They must have frozen to death somewhere in this snowy mountain.”
“…….”
“It’s the same this time. We won’t punish you or lay a hand on you!”
Remembrance!
chuck!
The villagers split in unison to make a road.
“I will banish you from the village. Please leave now.”
In fact, kicking them out of the snowy mountains in the middle of the night was no different than saying they would just let them die.
“Let’s go.”
“huh.”
However, the two of them calmly moved on. The villagers’ eyes stung, but Simon didn’t show anything.
Because it will happen someday.
“Ms. Shawn! Ms. Shawn!”
“No! Miss Leah!”
Just then, the children of the village burst into tears and came running.
“Hey, why is he like this?”
“know!”
The adults tried to stop them, but the children shook off their parents and clung to Simon and Lethe.
“Sir! Don’t go! Don’t die!”
“No! Teacher! Heh! Whip!”
In an unexpected situation, silence arose around.
Simone and Lethe lowered their stance and patted the children’s heads and laughed.
Although life in this village was fake, he was sincere when he taught the children.
Feeling a warm feeling in his heart, Simon smiled at the children.
“I won’t die. I’ll be sure to meet you later. Everyone.”
At that moment, the children’s bodies were enveloped in cold, and they fell away from the two.
The children burst into tears and walked away, and beyond that, I could see the wizards of Misenashi with their palms open.
“Please leave.”
said Nenia Misgenasi, striking the floor with her cane.
Simon and Lethe were banished from the village.
* * *
Whoa!
A night of bitter cold and snowstorms.
Simon and Lethe were running madly with the divinity on their legs.
“I accidentally became a time attack, but what a good thing!”
Lethe said with a grin.
“Clear the dungeon within one day, and end this nasty cold!”
“It should be.”
It wasn’t just wandering in the snowy mountains.
Lethe, who was running in the snow, found a rock and stretched out her arm.
<Holy Bolt>
Let’s hit the rock with divine magic, the air around it split and shattered.
“First clear.”
This time, an avalanche rained down from a mountain hill. Simon stretched out his arm.
“corpse explosion.”
Last night, the zombies that were hidden in the points in advance exploded with light.
One side of the unstable ground collapsed, and a landslide pushed into it.
“The second one is also clear.”
In addition, he threw the corpse of a previously captured monster to attract the attention of other monsters, and broke through various obstacles, such as breaking illusions or walking straight through distorted maze magic.
result of experience.
The two continued to look for shortcuts and analyze traps in the snowy mountains.
“Let’s check the direction at this point.”
When Lethe activated the magic circle, a light flashed from the top of the mountain range covered by the cold.
‘Illumination’, a luminous magic that Lethe had installed in the cave in advance, was pointing the way.
“This way!”
“okay!”
Breaking through six obstacles in three hours.
Neither of them knew that it would go this well.
Now they were climbing towards the top of an increasingly steep mountain.
“I see a cave over there!”
right at that moment.
turn up! Tup!
My leg was caught on something. Soon the snow floor rose and a huge ice golem popped out.
“Suddenly what…!”
The ice golem tossed the two of them down a pitch-black cliff where they could not see the bottom. The screams of the two went farther and farther apart.
-…….
Having dealt with the intruder as commanded, the golem changed its posture and crouched down again.
however.
Boaaaaaang!
Out of nowhere, the two people who had just been dropped flew up.
On the right was Lethe, clinging to a divine beast in the form of a bird, and on the left was Simon, who climbed the cliff with Akalion.
“Do not disturb!”
“Do not disturb!”
The boy and girl jumped off the Shinsu at the same time and kicked it.
Lethe’s leg hit the golem’s head, and Simon’s leg hit the golem’s core chest.
Boom!
Just like that, the golem was smashed and scattered. The two came down to the floor and retrieved the divine beasts into the divine subspace.
“Okay. We’re here!”
“I see.”
A black cave appeared in front of the two of them.
