[Episode 318.Adrias’ advance]


    “So you’re saying that the emperor nned it.”


    Except for Evan and Noah, who are active elsewhere, everyone gathered in one ce while Amy looked over the estate.


    There was no need to hide it anyway, so when I told him what had happened at the imperial pce, Morne smiled eerily.


    “You crossed the line.”


    Seeing that smile, Salem smiled as well.


    “Inspiration, do you want to be able to see your old self after a long time?”


    “When I was in high spirits, I would have hit it blindly, but now I am just an old man.”


    “What’s wrong with all the forms?”


    “Hehe Salem. This old man is not talking about backing down.”


    Morne pointed to the ring on my hand.


    “First of all, you have to prepare. The Empire is not an easy opponent. We need to increase our power.”


    “Oh my. Is it time to eat the meeting?”


    “assembly! let’s eat!”


    Luna cheered with sparkling eyes.


    “How many rings do you have now?”


    “Three.”


    Hagel’s ring, Morne’s ring, and Jester’s ring that you just got.


    “There are seven left.”


    “If you have 3, aren’t you the most among the chiefs?”


    At Salem and Morne’s words, I asked what I had been curious about for a long time.


    “Do you know how many chieftains each have?”


    “I am not a member of the assembly. The ring isn’t even an artifact, so there’s no reason to be interested in it.”


    “I’m sorry. I have no idea who has how many.”


    So, in the end, the whereabouts of those seven are unknown.


    ‘ah!’


    There was just something that came to mind.


    Looking around, I cautiously asked Morne.


    “Can I summon an undead?”


    “Do whatever you want. You don’t even have to ask me.”


    With Morne’s permission, I immediately summoned the Lich King.


    One of the founders of the first meeting and the strongest necromancer called immutable.


    – Kraha!


    I thought …… woulde out, but why are youing out?


    “Oh, it’s the Rich King.”


    “Hey, I had something that looked interesting.”


    Luna, who had already seen the Lich King, was interested in the summoned one.


    “It was hard. Rich is bad.”


    “and! Did you make this for a friend? amazing!”


    Maximin and Isabelle were just silently watching the scene, while Al-Gourd, who was suddenly interested, scratched his head.


    – Great warrior, what kind of situation is this? Wasn’t it a fight?


    “I called because I had something to see. Is Harungel still inside?”


    -Umm, it’s a pity that it’s not a battle, but since you want it, let’s call that sphemous guy.


    The Lich King soon drooped down and then raised his head again.


    A gloomy, sinister aura different from the one Al-Gurd controlled was lurking in the empty eyes.


    -A lot of kids have gathered.


    Seeing his arrogant words, Harungel was certain.


    “If it’s Harungel…”


    Morne, who was listening to the story at that time, pointed at the Lich King with a trembling hand.


    “You mean Harungel, the immutable wealth?”


    -Yes, all dying old people. This body is the immutable Harungel, the great ck magician who once shook the world.


    When someone recognized him appeared, he saw Harungel’s nose stretch this much.


    In the end, I couldn’t stand such arrogance and gave the order.


    “Sit Harungel.”


    -hmm?


    Harungel vomited doubts, but his body honestly obeyed my orders.


    -Yes, man! How dare you make fun of this body!


    “Harungel Gear.”


    t-


    At my words, the Lich King, who had a fairlyrge body, crawled on the floor.


    Contrary to his actions, only his eyes were burning, so what should I do?


    “Kuh hmm. Baby, no matter how undead you are, you look a little like that.”


    “All right. Wake up Harungel.”


    I’ll have to pick a day and straighten the rtionship between the top and the bottom again.


    “Kuh, the immutable Harungel… I never thought it would end up like this. Can I use it for an experiment?”


    “It’s not possible.”


    I tly refused Salem’s request and showed Harungel the ring.


    “You know what this is?”


    -……Where did thate from again?


    Harungel’s gaze could not leave the ring.


    Then he said softly.


    -Ryude’s ring.


    “Lude?”


    It was the first name I had ever heard of.


    I thought that the founder of the meeting was a wizard that anyone would know, but isn’t it?


    – Lyudm Orlov.


    I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Harungel’s voice seemed somehow locked.


    “It really looks like Harungel is right.”


    Salem, who was watching from the side, nodded.


    “Ludm was an unknown figure. It felt like a reclusive sage. Unlike Mia Lin, who is now called the Sage, she was apletely unknown witch.”


    Salem, who knows that fact, is more surprised.


    -Why do you have that ring?


    “The rally ring is still there. The leaders of the assembly each have it.”


    -I’m fed up.


    Harungel grumbled and pointed to the ring.


    – Give it to me.


    “A ring?”


    While I was talking about it, I took out the other two rings that the dragon soldier kept.


    Rings given by Hegel and Morne respectively.


    “Do you know who this is?”


    -……Did you have three of them?


    Harungel looked closely at the ring and thenughed.


    -Puch. I have my ring too.


    “this?”


    – No, it’s next to it.


    Outwardly, they all look the same, but thanks to the numbers engraved on them, it was easy to tell them apart.


    -The other one is Larva’s ring. that damned piece of shit.


    “Lava Mirmnil!”


    When a name she knew came up, Luna shouted.


    Unlike Ludmi, who first appeared, he was a famous wizard like Harungel.


    As a master of elemental magic, he was a person who is known to have organized the theory of elemental magic for the first time.


    – Haaa. Now everything is gone and I am left alone.


    Harungel muttered in a mncholy tone, then spoke again.


    -Give me that ring.


    “No, but why are you asking for Lyudm’s ring when yours is here?”


    -Just give me some if you want.


    Harungel lost his temper, then sighed again.


    -If you give me a ring, I’ll tell you the secret behind it.


    “okay. It’s yours anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”


    It’s not a situation where Harungel can betray me, and it’s not a big deal if he lends me a ring, so I handed it over right away.


    – Rude.


    Harungel called out his name in a vague tone and grabbed the ring.


    -These rings are artifacts we made together when we founded the coven.


    “Artifact?”


    This was something I didn’t know.


    – Nothing is revealed on the surface. It doesn’t really have any special abilities. However, when all 10 rings are gathered…


    “If theye together?!”


    Luna waited for Harungel’s next words with an excited expression.


    -I do not know either.


    “What is that!”


    Luna shouted.


    It’s making me look forward to it and it’s futile.


    -The one who made the ring was Bernhel. He was also one of the coven members. Anyway, the saying that something happens when 10 of theme together was what Bernhel said.


    “What do you mean when you say that 10 people gather? There must have been a time when 10 people got together wearing a ring.”


    -ording to Vernhel, one person has to wear all 10 rings.


    The rings belonged to the thin side, but 10 of them were worn on all ten fingers…….


    Why did they put such a function in the first ce?


    ‘I don’t understand why one person created a situation where everyone gets caught.’


    Harungel’s exnation continued as if he had read my thoughts.


    -Bernhel was the entric among us. The only person who could have a full conversation with him was, at best, Rude. As a result, no one cared what he did to the ring.


    Harungel, wearing a ring on his bony finger, seemed to be thinking a lot.


    Did you realize the passage of time?


    Or are you pessimistic about your current situation?


    “I heard that you have to collect all 10 rings to im that coven.”


    At that time, Maximin, who had been quiet until now, spoke.


    “That’s right.”


    “Is there any need to collect rings? It doesn’t matter if you press it with force.”


    “A person without a crown does not be a king by subduing people by force.”


    The cause was important.


    There was no one who didn’t care about the cause unless he could defeat the majority as an individual.


    “We need power, not the name of a rally.”


    “It will bete.”


    Maximin said calmly.


    “If you care about all those things, by the time the Empire attacks you, you will be defeated without doing anything.”


    As much as he has a grudge against the empire, Maximin’s hostility was considerable.


    I’ve had experience fighting against it, so that advice muste from the heart.


    “If it’s a justification, you already have it, right?”


    Salem intervened.


    “First of all, we’re going to kick off Jester. You made a preemptive strike, so the justification lies with you. It would be nice to get an additional ring in the process, but let’s discuss that as a side note.”


    Salem smiled wickedly and continued with an expression of anticipation of what was toe.


    “If you only absorb Jester’s power, it’s no different than having eaten more than half of it. Aika and Fade? If it’s our strength, it’s enough to break the other two individually.”


    “Would you like to help?”


    “what. Are you saying I’m an outsider?”


    “It’s not like that, I thought you’d be bothered.”


    In fact, I thought I was an outsider. I wouldn’t be able to tell you honestly.


    Salem was not a member of the assembly, and as he had the nickname of a wanderer, he thought of him as a diner.


    “It was time to do a water change. Both Jester and Aika have been holding meetings for too long.”


    The ck magicians who reigned at the top of the meeting enough to turn the age of Salem more than three times, so the stagnant water was right.


    But Salem, who said that he could easily rece them, felt more frightening.


    “The time hase to move slowly. haha.”


    It was an atmosphere of approval.


    He was interested in Harungel, who was active as the strongest necromancer, but when an important story came out, he immediately expressed his opinion.


    “Can you help Maximin?”


    “This is the first story I brought up. I wouldn’t have said anything if I wasn’t going to help.”


    Maximin, who speaks bluntly, is trustworthy.


    “I’ll be here protecting Amy.”


    Isabelle announced her absence, but it was rather good.


    When the meeting or the fight against the Empire began in earnest, my weakest point was bound to be Amy.


    ‘Isabelle is more reassuring than anyone else.’


    In the first ce, it is rmended to y in a party, but due to the nature of the game, as time goes by, enemies that even superhumans cannot catch alone appear, and even in such a game, vampires werete content.


    And Isabelle is a direct descendant of vampires.


    In fact, I have never fully confirmed Isabelle’s abilities or skills, but ording to my experience, the power of a direct vampire isparable to that of an incarnate body.


    “All right. Then, let’s start nning now.”


    There is no need to go beyond Eoyeongbuyeong to take out the horns as well.


    “The primary goal is to absorb Jester’s power within this month.”


    It’s time to catch up on the rally.
