Chapter 499

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 499

Simon’s party safely arrived at Harlem in Tarados.

Simon looked around and was surprised to find the environment far worse than expected.

The people of Harlem sat on the side of the road like skinny zombies waiting for the day they would die. He was in a state of extreme malnutrition with ribs visible all over his body.

The buildings are old the alleys are extremely narrow and the dried-up rivers are clogged with rubbish.

Dead bodies can also be seen on the streets. Flies are infested and wild dogs are swarming but no one tries to drive them away.

A city with no hope.

That was Harlem Street in Tarados.

[for a moment! for a moment! for a moment! Why did you come to this place!]

The necklace swayed and Carl’s alter ego shouted.

[It seems that the body’s senses have faded more than when it first entered Tarados! Haven’t you come too far?]

“I have to seek information first.”

As long as you enter the closed territory where contact with the outside world is cut off information collection is not an option but a must.

It would have been easy to find if Carl’s alter ego had been told that it was getting closer or farther from the main body in real time but now that I see it I can’t feel it in such detail.

Now is the time to step out and listen to the vivid stories of the locals. Elizabeth is also scattered and gathering information with the spiders.

‘I wish I could meet the client in this town.’

The client who requested help from Keyzen students.

I wanted to know who it was and who it was.

He must also know the situation in Tarados better than anyone else. I thought that finding that person was the ‘key’ of this mission evaluation.

“To think this town has changed like this...”

The coachman who said Tarados was his hometown looked around in disbelief.

“When Tarados was in its heyday it was a city of vitality and youth where many adventurers and merchants came and went. It is hard to find any trace of it now.”

“The heyday.”

Kazan who was walking next to Simon looked back and said

“It must have been the days when gold mine dungeons still existed right?”

“Yes it is.”

Simon looked back.

“Is that dungeon still there?”

“I can’t believe it. I heard that after the death of the dungeon master of the dungeon it disappeared without a trace...”

Taat!

It was then.

A scruffy little girl who looks like she’s about 7 or 8 years old! jumped out pushed her driver and into an alley. Her coachman stumbled and fell to her floor.

“Are you okay?”

Simon came quickly to him.

“Yes yes! I’m fine.”

“More than that.”

Kazan continued scratching the scar on his right side.

“Let’s check your belongings first.”

“yes?”

The coachman got up again and groped me. Then with a startled sound ‘Ah!’ she started looking at her clothes again.

“Oh the money bag!”

Tadada dat!

The little girl ha ha! ha! She was panting and going deeper into the alley.

A cramped alleyway where quite a few grown-ups get caught up in the wall. With her size it was possible to run here as well.

‘it’s okay! it’s okay!’

A light of hope flashed in her eyes.

‘With this money my brother...!’

“hi.”

The girl who turned the corner of the alley screamed in surprise. A blue-haired boy appeared out of nowhere squatting and smiling kindly.

“Stealing is bad. Can you give it back?”

‘what! what! Uh how did you catch up?’

She took a step back then jerked back and ran away.

but it didn’t go far A man stood in the way from behind.

“It’s strange that you don’t meet pickpockets in Harlem.”

He was a very scary man with scars all over his body. Even in this narrow alley they were slithering like snakes. It looked like a mollusk not a person.

“ruler.”

Simon spread his palms.

“Give it back.”

“Poem I hate it!”

She crouched down holding the money bag tightly in her arms. It was a complete defensive posture. Simon let out an embarrassing smile.

“Now wait!”

Whoops! omg! Huh!

He took a deep breath and heard the voice of the driver who had arrived late. He was looking at the girl.

“lisa.”

Simon showed a student ID card with Kizen’s mark on his chest.

“I am the one your brother called.”

* * *

After a while Simon and Kazan the coachman who went to the bathroom and Elizabeth who went to gather information returned to Lisa’s house.

The house was rather small so we had to sit close to each other.

“Okay then I’ll tell you the information the spiders and I brought!”

Elizabeth who transformed into a pink-haired schoolgirl pretended to be lively by drawing a V with her fingers. Simon knowing her age just laughed.

On the back of the wall cloth was woven with spiders and the words [Meeting for Revolutionary Measures] were pasted up and the atmosphere of resolute life revived.

“But the villagers don’t talk to us. How did you get the information?”

“Ho-ho! An attractive woman has many means of disarming people.”

“...What kind of method is that?”

Kazan whose ego was hurt because he failed to gather information in Harlem asked.

“For example tie it to a spider’s web and hang it from a high place?”

Elizabeth shrugged and replied.

Anyway listening to the information she brought it seemed that Tarados was currently divided into three factions.

Ganeth the black wolf who oversees the gang of bandits called the Ganeth Guild.

The lord who commands the regular soldiers of the territory and his subordinate the iron-blooded general Amin.

and third.

“Death. They are called those who call.”

Elizabeth winked her eyes at Simon.

It must have been that ‘Society’ was the lunatic force holding the sword.

“Nothing is known. No one knows their identities. However they say that they came to this manor someday and maintained a close relationship with the lord.”

“Suspicious.”

Simon said.

“I’ve heard the name from going back and forth.”

The coachman suddenly interrupted.

“When I was working as a coachman in Eprun I saw a lot of strange items circulating outside and it seems that they were all bought there.”

Lisa also said something.

“I heard my brother say it like a habit. The organization is the dark side of the situation!

“That’s right?”

amazing.

Lisa’s older brother and Simon’s client seemed to have already reached the truth.

“Yeah! The territory soldiers arrest the guilty residents and the thieves kidnap the residents. But both said there is no facility to hold prisoners!”

Kazan took the word.

“And the conclusion is that in fact it was the ‘organization’ that took and used those prisoners. Those who instigated the thieves to abduct orphans homeless people and mentally retarded children from outside Tarados were probably also the ‘organization’.”

“There are artificial Chimera monsters roaming the Tarados Wilderness. I’m sure.”

They are the ones who grabbed the knife and experimented with it.

All the clues I’ve gotten so far lead to one.

“The culprit is an organization. Destroy them and it will end. But.”

Elizabeth spread her arms.

“I don’t think it’s going to be as easy as I thought. To catch them I have to deal with the lord and the Ganeth guild first. Tarados is stronger than I thought.”

The method they took was as follows.

The ‘Society’ supports the lord and the Ganeth Guild with enormous financial power.

The Garnes Guild roams the wilderness kidnapping people at random and sending them to the ‘commitment’. However they do not touch the towns and cities guarded by the lords.

Instead of protecting the residents from the Ganeth Guild the lords pay a huge tax to the residents. Residents had to pay high-intensity labor or a price to pay for the stipend.

If the residents refuse to pay the tax the lord soldier leaves without regret. Afterwards a massive offensive by the Garnes Guild begins and the residents are captured and sent to the ‘commitment’.

Residents who could not withstand the attack of the thieves were forced to leave the village and either be eaten by the chimera monsters that filled the wilderness or caught by the thieves chasing them or face one of the two fates.

‘It’s vicious.’

It was Simon’s impression.

They are exploiting the residents by creating a confrontational relationship with the lord soldiers and bandits. Many of the residents here still regard the lord soldiers as guardians protecting them from bandits but in fact they are all the same.

They only fight for show and in fact it is said that there are very few cases where they collide properly.

“For that reason it seems that the ‘Revolutionary Corps’ was created to develop self-reliance away from these two forces.”

“that’s right.”

Their goal is to earn funds to station the lord soldiers here at the same time to equip themselves with the power and self-sufficiency means to fight the thieves even if the lords leave and finally to free Tarados by asking for help from the outside.

But Lisa’s brother said ‘The revolutionaries are also rotten’.

Even the superiors of the Revolutionary Corps must have been bribed by the ‘Society’.

“Well then what should I do? I have two options.”

Elizabeth said while looking at Simon the captain.

“Should we kill the Ganeth guild and the lord and cut off the limbs of the ‘Order’ then enter into a safe fight? Or before the ‘Order’ realizes our existence we will destroy the headquarters of the Society in a surprise attack.”

“....”

Simon who closed his eyes for a moment and pondered opened his mouth.

“I’ve decided.”
