Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 167

Episode 167 world tree

“Wow!”

“Give it a go!”

The place we arrived was the border between the village and the forest.

I could see the elves narrowly approaching the village border and the Hwanin people growling at the elves.

“Elf meat is not delicious!”

“Why did you come to our village!”

Hwanmen who were only up to their waists were crowding around and arguing, but the elves lined up in an orderly manner were silent, wearing facial helmets of unknown material.

There was an elf standing in front of them who was the only one whose face was visible, and he did not react at all to the words of the Hwanins.

“Say something!”

“Why did you come to my house!”

“ok! Merkurda! Merkur has arrived!”

All eyes immediately focused on the appearance of me and Merkur.

“Merkur! Merkur! “The elves have invaded!”

“Elves are tasteless! “We have to kick him out!”

“Give it to me!”

Despite their cute appearance, seeing the Hwanins foaming at the mouth and screaming like fanatics shook their heads and the elf in the front spoke.

“Merkur, it’s been a while.”

Seir Moraze Frasilia, a man also known as the Second Star of the Winds.

He was also the leader of the Wind Knights organized by the Great Forest Elves here.

‘That bastard is him.’

And it was the elf that I remembered as the villain who was in charge of one axis of the main story.

“Seyr, what kind of wind blew today that brought you here unexpectedly? “There won’t be anything promised in advance.”

“I apologize for the sudden visit.”

“So what is your business?”

His machine-like gaze turned to me.

“I recently heard that two humans and a vampire visited this village. “As a vigilante in the Great Forest, I’m here to check.”

“Vigilante? That’s something that only applies in your area. “How dare you say such arrogant words in front of me?”

Merkur shot back, showing an unpleasant expression that I had never seen before.

Looking at this, the relationship between the elves and the Hwanins did not seem to be very good.

In fact, no matter where you go in the Great Forest, there are no friendly people.

At least, the beasts formed alliances with each other and occasionally exchanged help, but other races were an exception.

Among them, elves were especially famous for being exclusive to other races.

‘Forest nobleman.’

There is no better word to refer to elves.

Elves were people who deserved the title of nobles, whether in a good or bad sense.

“You misunderstood what I said. “The important story now is that outsiders have invaded this great forest.”

“Who can speak carelessly to my guests? And since when did you guys start caring about these things and now you’re just meddling? “If you don’t go away, I won’t tolerate it any longer.”

Merkur bared his fangs and pulled out a sword from his staff.

However, despite such threats, Sayre said what he had to say without any hesitation.

“It looks like that person is the one who invaded this land this time. “Where are the rest?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I do not know.”

I didn’t actually know where it was.

I don’t always have to check where Maximin and Isabelle are, so how would I know?

We had dinner together last night and haven’t seen each other today.

“Merkur, vampires are dangerous beings. Please act wisely.”

“upstart. Seir, I don’t know since when you were in a position to give me advice.”

Seir finished saying those words and turned around.

I slowly opened my mouth as he acted as if he had just come to take a quick look.

“Why would an elf dare to come to the border of another race’s territory and show force…? … .”

It was clear that Seir heard me, but he didn’t even react.

But since it wasn’t what he wanted me to hear in the first place, I kept muttering as if I was talking to myself.

“It doesn’t make sense that only three outsiders came, does something go wrong in the elf realm?”

widely.

Seir’s movements stopped.

At the same time, the eyes of the knights he brought with him were focused on me.

“For example… … “A world tree or something?”

“Humans, if you use your mouth carelessly, you can die.”

“Oh, did you hear? “I was muttering that I was going to try to figure it out on my own.”

As I spoke with a straight face, Seir’s already expressionless face cracked.

“If the place you are now was not in the territory of the Hwanin people, you would have died dozens of times more.”

“How can someone die dozens of times? Seeing how sensitive they are, doesn’t it seem like there’s a real problem with the elves?”

“Shut up.”

Seir turned around as if he didn’t want to deal with me anymore.

The raccoons who were watching this burst into cheers.

“haha! “An elf losing to a human!”

“As expected, delicious humans are different! “It’s nothing like a tasteless elf!”

Now is not the time to be happy.

I wanted to somehow leave something for the elves to engage with here.

In order to do that, he had to provoke someone in that knighthood, not Seir.

“There really is no problem, right? “Do you know, maybe someone like me can help?”

“Ignore what that person says. “We are now withdrawing.”

“Well, if the problem was urgent enough to require help from humans, they would have asked for help from other races right away. I’m glad it doesn’t seem to be anything serious. Rest assured, we will soon be leaving the Great Forest.”

I said I would try to speak with provocation and appeal as much as possible, but if I give too much information, it may raise suspicion, so this was the best I could do.

If there is no response after doing this, I have no choice but to let this opportunity go and look for another opportunity… … .

“Wait.”

Someone from the Wind Knights came forward.

Seir finally frowned and gestured.

“Aimir, your current status is the Knight of the Wind. “Don’t step forward and step back.”

“I’m sorry, Captain. But before I was a knight of the wind, I was an elf. “Now is not the time to think about honor and follow old fashioned bonds and traditions.”

The knight who took off his helmet was a woman.

When he took off his helmet, his curled hair poured out like a golden waterfall.

“Aimir! That’s not up to you to decide. “It is a matter for the elders and priests to decide.”

“As a candidate for the next high priest, I think I am fully qualified to bring up this issue. “Don’t you know, leader, that if we leave things like this, we won’t be able to come up with any solution?”

“Even so, that is our way as the forest clan.”

They fight among themselves.

Anyway, it was fortunate that the person I expected was there.

I wasn’t sure if Aimir was the Knight of the Wind even during this time, but it was good.

“problem? “Is there really something wrong?”

Merkur, who had been watching for a moment, asked.

Seir then pretended not to hear and ignored it, and the female elf who revealed her face kept her mouth shut as if she was troubled.

“Although we cannot say that we are on good terms with you, the problems with the elves, especially those related to the World Tree, are a separate story. Since it is the World Tree that supports this great forest, it is natural that if there is a problem with the World Tree, we will not be safe either.”

Merkur tapped the ground with his staff.

“I don’t know that this village and the territories of other races are also thanks to the World Tree that you manage. “Let’s talk openly.”

“Merkur, as you said, it is up to us elves to manage the World Tree. “Other races have nothing to worry about.”

“her! Is there really a problem with the World Tree? “You don’t even listen to a word I say, you old bastard.”

Of course Seir won’t cooperate.

Because it’s not anyone else who is creating this problem, but that guy and the organization he belongs to.

The target to attack now was Aimir, not Seir.

As she said, she was a candidate for the next high priest and the eldest daughter of one of only two high elf families in the Great Forest.

widely!

“There’s a problem with the World Tree?”

However, a voice was heard that took all these worries away at once.

Mak Si-min, who appeared calmly as if he had already arrived, spoke with a rare expression of interest.

“I have never seen the World Tree in my life.”

Isabelle was next to him.

“vampire… … .”

Seir narrowed his eyes and was wary of Isabelle.

In fact, in terms of appearance, they seemed similar as vampires, elves, and beings with beauty that was far superior to that of humans.

The only difference is that one side has long ears and the other side has long fangs.

However, when they saw each other, they seemed to immediately distinguish between races.

“Shall we start with the full statement? I am Isabelle Lucifer. “He is a direct descendant of the Lucifer family.”

Seir was seen struggling to control his expression after hearing Isabelle’s name.

If you think about it, there were vampires inside the organization that planned the elf episode, so it wasn’t that vampires were completely unrelated.

‘Maybe that’s why I came to check on Isabelle.’

It was said that it was natural for Seir to be wary of vampires.

“The Lucifer family.”

Aimir was also looking nervously, repeating Isabelle’s words.

“If you are a candidate for high priesthood, are you the daughter of the Palarem family? Let me know if you need help. Since she came all the way here, let’s help her by taking a look at the world’s capitals.”

“The World Tree is not a spectacle.”

“I am a direct vampire. Plus, I know a lot. Do you know anything? “Do you think I or the people here can solve your problem?”

At Isabelle’s quiet words, Aimir seemed to be lost in thought.

But Seir shouted as if there was nothing more to hear.

“I delayed it too much. “I’m coming back!”

“hey.”

Huh!

At that moment, the wind blew and blocked the elves who were trying to pass by.

“I’m just going somewhere.”

Mak Si-min muttered in a blunt but lifelike voice.

“I have to answer and leave.”

Now that I think about it, it seems like the elves don’t recognize Maximin.

Last time, I said that I had concluded negotiations so that I could travel freely through the forest, but I guess I never actually encountered the elves, who are the biggest force.

“You can’t decide here. But I will go back and talk to you and let you know how it goes.”

When Aimir came forward, Maximin looked at Isabelle.

Isabelle nodded.

“all right. “We’ll stay here a little while longer, so if you need any help, come here.”

“thank you.”

Soon, as the elves disappeared in an orderly manner, the Hwanins who were watching them shouted without notice.

“We defeated the elf!”

“We are strong! We are delicious!”

“it’s good!… … it’s good?”

Merkur wiped his face, leaving behind the sight of foaming at the mouth and shouts of enthusiasm.

“Huh. If there really is a problem with the World Tree, it’s usually not a big deal. But how did you know that?”

“I didn’t know. “I just took a stab and got lucky.”

“Is that really true?”

“I don’t think there have been any outsiders who have visited the Great Forest. I heard that Maximin and Isabelle visited this place not long ago. But at the time, I was just wondering why elves who had never behaved like this were suddenly reacting so sensitively.”

Actually, this is a story we all already know.

The World Tree was now deteriorating.

The infection that started from the roots did nothing until the world tree was completely corrupted, and the main episode related to this eventually begins with the completely corrupted world tree swallowing up the great forest.

In fact, since the main episode progressed while the character had already become corrupted, it was unclear when the problem would begin, but it seems that signs were already visible at this point.

However, the old-fashioned elves do not seek help from those around them and ultimately neglect while the world tree deteriorates.

‘Do you think Aimir will go and persuade him?’

To be honest, I was skeptical.

However, blindly stepping into the elves’ territory was tantamount to suicide, so there was no way I could do anything about it right away.

“I guess I’ll have to formally submit the meeting agenda to the Beast-Man Coalition.”

“I wonder if the elves will receive help from other races.”

“ha. “I’m sorry, but I’ll have to postpone teaching you for a few days.”

“All right.”

From Harungel’s tomb to the elves.

Unexpected events were surrounding me.

* * *

Four days have passed since the elves visited the Hwanin village.

To be honest, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to it, but now, four days later, I was completely resigned.

‘If elves were a race that easily receives or gives help, that wouldn’t have happened.’

While Mercur was busy communicating with other beastmen races, I was alone.

Actually, I wanted to go see Harungel’s tomb even from afar, but Merkur made it a condition that I had to go with him, so even that wasn’t possible.

In the end, I became a potion-making machine and served the raccoons for four days.

“Oooh! full of energy!”

A raccoon that ate the potion it received immediately started screaming with its fur standing up.

Unfortunately, the potion he gave me was a curse immunity potion.

“Merkurda!”

“Merkur has come to steal humans again!”

“Defend humans! Guarantee the potion!”

When I turned my head, Merkur was coming towards me.

“For what reason?”

“The elves have arrived. “I’m looking for you.”

The elves came?

It was surprising that the elves had come back, but I wondered what they meant when they said they were looking for me.

First, I followed Merkur to his house.

“See you again.”

At Merkur’s tree house, Aimir, whom I saw last time, was with elves who appeared to be guards.

“Now that I think about it, I’m late in saying hello. “My name is Aimir Karirigin my name is Palarem, daughter of Karirigin and the 15th generation descendant of Palarem.”

“This is Adrias Cromwell.”

Coincidentally, Maximin and Isabelle were also present.

Looking at that, I wondered if the elves had gone crazy and decided to ask for help.

“The reason I came here today is to invite you to Rastillia.”

“Have you decided to get help?”

Isn’t this a configuration error?

No matter how you think about it, there is no reason for the elves to suddenly receive help… … .

“no. “There is only one person we are inviting: Adrias Cromwell.”

“… … yes?”

“The high priest of Rastilia has received an oracle and wishes to see you.”
