Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 154
king of the night (1)
The banquet hall that arrived with Eshas felt a little more closed than the last time.
For a while, Persia was focused on choosing a strange place.
As the rare food comes out one after another, he licks his tongue and changes his taste buds.
There are as many as eight kinds of appetizers on the cart.
The body was called from eating meat, but fortunately, the stomach is very empty.
When Letty, which came out of my inner pocket, settles into the inside of the cup early, Eshas smiles.
“The Count’s summons follow their masters very well.”
“Only good summons.”
Eshas starts eating first as he wraps a napkin around Persia’s neck.
As I thought before, I am really good at handling human bodies.
There is nothing wrong with handling forks and knives.
Today, there is a lot of food… Esshas showed an appetite that was commensurate with it.
It’s not very fast, but she doesn’t stop and clears the table.
When I looked a little startled, she said bluntly.
“It’s been a long week since I had a meal. I didn’t even have time to eat during the summons…”
“Yes? That was a joint summoning technique involving hundreds of people, wasn’t it?”
“Still, the central axis of the ritual cannot be left out.”
Listening to Esshas, the food on the table was all nourishing food.
I didn’t notice that the royal palace’s cuisine was made with ingredients that were good for the body.
Thanks to you, I was able to replenish my energy a lot.
As soon as the time when we could finally feel the amount of food of the old dragon was over, it was tea time.
As if he was relieved that Jakar had died, I asked him about the story over and over again.
“Is there only the Black Dragon left now… By the way, I was both happy and surprised when I heard how to get Jakar out of Earth.”
“Ah…”
Eshasu bows her face at the teasing compliment and asks her to go for a walk in the garden.
It is well maintained like a royal garden, but not even the sound of insects, let alone birdsong.
Perhaps it was completely forbidden to enter from the outside in order to prevent such things as spying.
Arriving in the middle of the lush vegetation, Eshas sat down on a nearby bench to rest.
I asked carefully, wondering if there was anything to be gained, and I got an immediate answer.
“Eshasu-sama. How will Fresia-sama…”
“She answered the call as my kin, so she should receive the treatment she deserves.
As if it had been a long time since he had made a decision, he answered without blocking.
It seems that was the story that asked me to think about the title earlier.
In fact, I was expecting something like this, but…
It’s a matter of honor rather than title.
There are many honorary nobles who do not have a territory in this capital, but that depends on their titles.
It is nonsense to say that the name of a duke is a duke, but there is no real estate.
Eshasu answered with a smirk when she revealed such thoughts from this side.
I was trying to create trouble for my dan, but it counterattacked.
“There is very little land left in Korea, so we should grant the land that lost its owner in the battle with the old dragons. Oh, Louise. If you become my companion, that problem will be resolved.”
“Eh, the Earl of Elcloud…”
“It’s a joke, so don’t be sarcastic. As you hang out with me, your territory will increase, because it will not decrease.”
It seems like it’s quite funny to make fun of me, and she smiles quite a bit.
I sigh, and I hear unfamiliar footsteps from the other side of the garden.
Similar to Persia’s, the gait still remains awkward.
Precia, the convenient pterosaur, who had been separated before, joined us in the middle of the garden.
“It seems that the whole forest has been moved. Shouldn’t it be a little more restful?”
“As you can see, he is recovering well.”
Eshasu puts me on my side and responds to me.
We moved to a nearby tea table and started the conversation.
Tea and refreshments are already stocked.
Persia, who seemed to have a bit of a stomach ache, stretched out her front paws toward the fruit jelly.
“Are there any aftereffects of summoning? I’m glad. If it’s okay, I’d like to hear about the Black Dragon.”
“Of course. Ask anything you want to know. I’ll answer anything you know.”
Pressia nodded her head willingly and began to share her experiences.
Contrary to expectations, there is no such thing as trauma.
“Is there anything that the King of the Night can call a special skill?”
When I asked carefully, he answered immediately as if he had been waiting.
Now I’m starting to get emotional about the answer.
It was a voice with strong hatred and wariness.
“Ma-Eye Dragon Uzat is a Magic Eye. Red Dragon Jakar is magic. And the Night King has necromancy.”
“It’s necromancy…”
“He is an expert who blasphemes death and insults the soul. Of course, the more you fight, the stronger you get, so early response is important.”
The necromancer technique that we usually deal with has many weaknesses here and there, but…
It doesn’t look like the guy’s.
I quickly found out why.
“And apart from necromancer, he has the ability as a black dragon. The sun does not rise near him.”
“yes?”
The sunlight is one of the deadliest weaknesses of necromancy.
It is the majesty of the sun that melts the weak undead like snow and makes the raging ones sick.
It is not impossible to overcome, but it demands a huge price.
Precia, who seems to have misunderstood my moans, adds her own opinion.
“Perhaps it is not collecting the breath, but constantly radiating it around it. In its vicinity, not only the sunlight but all kinds of light are weakened.”
Truly Essha’s nemesis.
It doesn’t have a single powerful shot, but it’s ridiculously tricky.
“How about the amount of horsepower?”
“It’s almost infinite. It’s not supplemented by any special method. He ate almost all of his children. So many dragon hearts…”
“Kek!”
Persia is terrified of a story that is far more bloody than expected.
I rubbed the back of the slightly sulky guy and swallowed my saliva.
That wouldn’t be enough for a conversation.
‘My lord. In case you hijack the link…’
“You’ll have to try it yourself, but don’t expect too much. The situation is very different from when you just have to take away the link.”
‘Are you sure?’
Will you be able to defeat him and even deal with Essha and Fresia?
As I was already worried about tonight’s mock battle, Eshas sighed.
She mumbled meaningfully as she handed over the lukewarmly cooled tea.
“The enemies inside the kingdom are too many, but the enemies outside are too difficult.”
“…”
what suddenly?
First of all, I think I should ask a polite question, but the atmosphere is not good.
Fortunately, Fresia asks questions for me.
“The enemy inside?”
“Yes. There are those who are dissatisfied with me and want to overthrow me and claim the throne. Isn’t that right? Count Elcloud.”
“Hey, what the hell are you talking about…”
Once the shichimi was removed, the conviction that they had been caught hit her whole body.
This is too sensitive a matter to discuss without confirmation.
Eshas now began to cry falsely in front of Fresia.
But I was busy guessing how she noticed it.
‘Maybe the Westwall Marquess… no. Maria and Michael have already been involved, but now I can’t betray them.’
However, it is hard to imagine that Duke Beltern’s work would be so lax.
There is no place to guess near me, so there is only one suspect left.
These are the administrators of the Book of Heaven who have constantly tried to kill me.
“I got hit. Manipulating people by providing information is their specialty… But it’s not too bad.”
‘yes?’
Hearing the Demon King’s impressions, I immediately understood.
It is a good sign that Eshas mentioned that fact right away.
This means that it cannot be dealt with quietly, such as by poisoning, as in the case of Edwin II.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just as expected. With tears in her eyes, she tried to persuade him.
“It’s true that I didn’t take good care of Edwin, but I’m sure I’ll do it like this. Louise. Why do you have to listen to them?”
“…”
“If you hold my hand, you can become a king without starting a rebellion. It was all for you and Dracor that hid Elena’s birth! Because you couldn’t pass the throne to those who were imprisoned in the dungeons for their sins.”
The more you listen to the story, the more confident you become.
Why could Essha say such a shameless thing?
This is because she did not fully understand the story behind the incident.
It was thanks to a letter from Edwin II that me and the Duke of Beltern decided to revolt.
A letter asking you to save yourself from Essha’s demonic beast.
Eshas is unaware of the existence of that strong evidence.
In my heart, I want to proudly reveal it, but…
I can’t give her room to deal with it.
I pretended to be a little conflicted, but I didn’t change my posture.
It would seem a lot more awkward to turn that way after hearing something like that.
“Eshas-sama’s actions far exceeded that of a guardian dragon. Did you know that this would not happen if you mix the royal blood at will?”
“That’s a structural problem in aristocratic societies that practice incest! Why don’t you know that if you don’t mix new blood regularly, you will rot!”
It’s funny to say this in front of Fresia, who was just summoned today, but…
This is Essha’s goal.
The intention is to somehow attract his own people to his side.
Fortunately, Fresia was much more blunt than expected.
“Fighting is good, but wait until after you defeat the Night King. When this world is immersed in eternal night, everything, including the throne, will be useless.”
“Open up, convenience dragon. You…”
“Then I’ll leave. If you have any questions about the Black Dragon, you can come to me anytime.”
One stance on the subject that was just summoned today is certain.
The purpose of the convenience dragon is to defeat the king of the night.
The other stories don’t seem to work well.
Thanks to him, Essha, who was left in the awkward atmosphere, chewed his lower lip and glared at me.
It is a gaze that feels resentment and savagery rather than hostility.
“Yeah, I was wrong. Can’t you give me one last chance?”
“…”
“Have you already made up your mind? The Duke of Beltern has held you tightly.”
Even the name of the instigator came out, but I did not hesitate.
Now, the invasion of the Black Dragon is approaching. Punishing Beltern is nonsense.
According to what we have seen so far, Essha is the embodiment of the lust for power.
No matter how precarious a kingdom may be, it cannot be easily abandoned.
The power she enjoys as the guardian dragon of this country is her everything.
Eshas sighed once more, realizing that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t work.
Soon, for the first time today, she felt the sincerity of her lamentation.
“If I had known you a little earlier, it would have been nice if I could have made it entirely mine…”
“I’ll just go back.”
Escape the garden because it is painful to keep the seat.
Persia, who got on the carriage, let out the feeling she had endured.
“Eshas only sounds terrible. I’ve already been caught, is it okay?”
“Anyway, all the four great families are on our side. It’s a matter of how far Eshas noticed.”
I arrived at the academy by texting the Duke of Beltern.
After all, there will be no retaliation until the battle with the Black Dragon is over.
I don’t know if Fresia cooperated. She was more obsessed with the Black Dragon than she had imagined.
As they got off the carriage, Medusha and Ethel rushed out from the inside.
I took them back under the setting sun.
“Louis! Are you okay? You didn’t do anything bad to Eshas, did you?”
“Okay. Maybe.”
Guys who glow with unsure of their replies.
Persia, who returned to Medusha’s shawl, began to tell about Eshas’ atrocities.
