Chapter 1027

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1027

Dick gathered people in Rochester the very next day.

All of them were big figures, such as the owners of the merchants or the agents of the merchants. The briefing began on the second floor of a small restaurant that Dick had rented.

“A lifeline connecting East and West! “The importance of this trade route for valuable spices and fabrics cannot be emphasized enough!”

He pounded his palms on the table.

“But what is the reality now? This dangerous east-west trade route is blocked by rugged mountains and must pass through the entrance to the desert! This is a place where bandits are encamped like spider webs and dangerous monsters are teeming with! If you waste the money you earn from trade on huge logistics costs, you won’t get much in return! However, there is a insight that can drastically reduce your time and money!”

Sigh!

Dick laid out a map of the continent on the table and pointed to a point with the tip of his finger.

“This route does not go through the mountains and deserts, but through the screaming jungle! If you load goods on a boat and cross from west to east along the river, you will save more than three months! Needless to say, reducing incidental costs such as logistics costs and security costs is a pain in the mouth, isn’t it?”

“....”

Unlike Dick’s excited spit-splattering, the expressions on the merchants’ faces after hearing the explanation were somewhat ambiguous.

“...Look here, business owner Dick Hayward.”

A merchant sighed.

“Could it be that the higher-ups didn’t know this and were wandering around the jungle of screams? Many veteran adventurers also lost their lives to monsters while trying to pioneer the place, so how could we...”

“That’s the point!”

Dick extended his palm towards Simon.

“Kizen’s 7th Corps Commander will solve it!”

“?”

The merchants’ eyes focused on Simon. Simon just laughed as he had heard before, and Dick spat out words like a stream of liquid.

“Now, special information! If you leak it anywhere, you’ll be in trouble! “The 7th Legion, which proved its strength in the Bell Heights incident, is trying to make the Screaming Jungle their territory!”

The merchants looked among themselves.

“The jungle of screams....”

“It becomes the territory of the 7th Legion?”

“Exactly! “What if an active-duty corps ensures the safety of trade routes?”

Only then did the merchants’ faces brighten.

“Wow, it’s reassuring that the Uriah Corps will step forward in person, but...”

“Is it realistically possible to pioneer the jungle of screams?”

“I’m not saying something unnecessary in front of high-ranking people! “There are results!”

Dick told a slightly exaggerated story about the Skullwing system that he had heard about from Simon. The merchants didn’t know much about necromancers, but they started talking about whether the method of driving out monsters sounded plausible.

Dick, who had won, clenched his fists.

“I think it’s the perfect deal! Of course, due to the nature of Skullwing, it is impossible to completely stop the monsters that live in the rivers, but that is a new blood compared to losing goods and people when attacked by monsters that appear at the beginning of mountain ranges and deserts! And since it’s the territory of the 7th Legion, bandits won’t dare wander around!”

Dick pointed to his nose and fluttered his nostrils.

“Can you smell the money? “If we can overcome the absurd aversion to crossing the jungle of screams, this will be a major innovation in continental logistics!”

“Of course, we would welcome a new trade route, but...”

said a merchant, looking at Dick and Simon alternately.

“The corps commander thinks about the toll of the jungle...”

“Ah.”

Dick exaggeratedly lowered his eyebrows and looked worried.

That obnoxious expression, Simon knew, was the expression used when trying to rip off someone. After a while, Dick proudly took out a wooden abacus used by merchants and started tapping it.

“well. Everyone would be surprised if they knew how much the corps commander is suffering out of a sense of duty to pioneer the jungle of screams. Umm-”

It was a moment when what I was doing while taking classes at school was transformed into a great cause for humanity.

“This is what it looks like with no real margin.”

The merchants’ eyes widened as if they would pop out after seeing the contents of the abacus.

“This is...!”

“Isn’t that too much!”

Dick laughed heartily.

“It’s much better than losing precious lives, losing money, and wasting time by continuing to pass through mountain ranges and deserts, right?”

“Yes, there is no such thing as mourning!”

“Uh huh, the corps commander is not a merchant! “I’m just his agent!”

Dick pulled a few abacus stones to the side, as if he was being particularly generous.

“Er, I don’t know! If you confirm now, we will take you at this price!”

“Hmm...!”

“I brought them here because they are the people I trust the most. “If you refuse, you can just leave.”

Percussion!

Dick flicked the abacus with his fingertips, scattering the eggs.

“Of course, you will never use the Screaming Jungle as a trade route in the future. “You will be falling behind the times.”

[Recula! One of the legends of the 1st Legion. First, calm down, boy!]

Peer’s voice echoes in my head.

[The main base of the nest has not fallen yet! If we defeat the advance guard of the 1st Corps here and now, we can protect the jungle!]

When Simon heard those words, his mind finally cooled down. I gripped the handle of the great sword tightly.

Darkness gathers on the legs and the muscles swell.

‘Goes.’

Teuong!

Simon’s body was shot out, leaving behind a black tail. The moment Simon reached right in front of Recula and swung the Great Sword of Destruction.

The huge Lecula jumped lightly, as if taking a step back.

Her body disappeared like smoke, as if it had never been there in the first place, and landed at the rear, a much greater distance away.

‘Don’t miss it!’

The moment when Simon tried to strengthen his legs to catch up again.

Hwaaaaaaaaa!

Suddenly, flames erupted all over the place, and silver spears rushed out from there.

“!”

Simon quickly bent his back. The tip of the spear, which seemed to be condensed light, stretched forward, cutting off several strands of Simon’s hair.

‘The 1st Legion’s Territory Soldiers!’

Simon stepped back and looked at the soldiers who attacked him.

They moved freely even in the fire, and their bodies were covered in golden armor. The face was protected by a helmet, and the part where the eyes should be visible was covered with something like transparent glass.

A silver mane was flowing over the helmet. Each of them is carrying a flag with the insignia of the 1st Corps on their back.

The way they lined up and held their weapons gave a sense of dignity and order. It was reminiscent of high-ranking noble knights that only existed in the past.

‘...Ordinary people should not be dragged into the Legion’s territory. Should I suppress it moderately?

Shoo!

Whoosh!

This time, an arrow of light flies across the sky. As Simon swung the Great Sword of Destruction and struck down the arrow of light, the spearmen in front rushed forward like a flash of light.

‘Sharp! Well trained!’

Simon frowned and grabbed the great sword of destruction. Immediately, let’s swing it to the side with great force.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!

A gust of wind blew, and the fire surrounding them was thrown back in an instant.

However, through the storm, a knight came in front of Simon.

‘This alien energy!’

Kang!

Simon forced his spear down with the great sword of destruction, then clenched his other hand into a fist.

Wow!

He immediately swung his fist and shattered the helmet he was wearing. Immediately, I grabbed him with all my strength and looked at the scene beyond the helmet with my right eye.

“!”

Simon’s eyes widened rapidly.

-Kyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The face visible beyond the helmet was not human.

Crushed flesh, a putrid smell, a long, dry tongue. When Simon saw that, he felt his heart pounding.

‘zombie! Wasn’t he human?’

The armored zombie let go of the spear, pulled out the sword from his waist, and swung it. Like the spear, it was a sword made of light.

Up!

Simon frowned as he grabbed the back of his hand and accepted it.

‘Nonsense! ‘How can a zombie move so human-like...?’

-Ⳗⴠⴀ!!!

He even speaks. It shouted a language it couldn’t understand and continued to swing its sword. Simon, who had been dodging with only the movement of his shoulder, stepped back.

Cold sweat ran down my back in the creepy home.

‘If this is the power of just one zombie...!’

[Boy.]

Then Peer spoke.

[The words the zombie just spoke were the Talhern language of the fallen Talhern Empire.]

‘Huh? Can you understand?’

[Yes! And what he just said is as follows.] After

being silent for a moment, Peer continued.

[For the emperor.]
