I Became The Academy Necromancer

Chapter 88

88. Elia Convent

To be honest, even at the academy, there was nothing to do.

Not joking, there was really nothing to do.

Sometimes, to the extent of having a conversation with Erica or sending Gideon away crying.

Other than that, she exchanges opinions with Professor Per, who uses the same laboratory, and her research.

Days like that continued.

Anyway, since it was right before summer vacation, I had nothing to do, and even within the game, the summer vacation of the first semester passed without much happening.

Professors and lectures started from the second semester, so I just read books.

The letter from St. Lucia after a long time was unexpected.

– How are you?

This place is still immersed in thick turmoil, but if you think it’s an ordeal, you have the courage to overcome it… …

When I skipped all the unnecessary words and looked at the contents, it was like this.

Before Lucia became a saint, a letter came from the women’s convent where she was a nun asking for help.

It seems to be a phenomenon related to evil spirits, so I asked for confirmation.

‘I’d rather go well.’

It was boring to wait until vacation started anyway. Using the saintess’s letter as justification, I prepared to leave the Robern Academy one step ahead.

Of course, there was a part that got stuck, but it was Aria.

I wondered if I should take her with me, but seeing as I had something to do during summer vacation, it seemed like I didn’t have to worry about it.

Because it was the 2nd playthrough, I had enough ability to become stronger on my own.

The academy leaves one step ahead before the exam begins.

“Ugh, what else do you have so many luggage?”

“I will help you.”

“Okay, what about the mother?”

There were a lot of books, so the luggage was heavy.

As we headed for the carriage waiting outside with a grumbling Findenai and Illuania standing halfway beside us, the professors came out to see us off.

“oh my! Commander! He suffers for the Kingdom!”

Right away, the dean bent down and took my hand. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the dean straighten his back while looking at me while I was here.

It meant that he was looking at me with his head down and his eyes wide open.

“Yes, I will go.”

As he shakes off the dean’s hand, other professors add their words one by one.

“Have a good trip.”

“I will be waiting for you.”

“I hope next time we can have a cup of tea.”

formal greetings.

By the time I got tired of it, a blonde woman, Erica Bright, was looking at me blankly.

I wondered if he would come along, but he didn’t ask for it.

However, the expression on her face, which was unable to contain her regret, made her look more like a young girl than a professor.

“Are you coming next semester too?”

“Yes, I have to give a lecture then.”

Of course.

In the second semester, I was also a regular professor with lectures.

Hearing that, Erica nodded as if a little relieved.

“Bye.”

The eyes of the professors around us naturally focused on us, but when I took a quick glance, their eyes spread in all directions like a flock of fleeing pigeons.

He must have been curious about the conversation between me, the memorial service, and Erica, my fiancée.

I climbed into the wagon for the last time and gestured to Gideon, who had been looking this way restlessly from before.

“Ride together.”

“Yes?”

“At least send them out of town.”

Illuania and Findeneye sneakily make Gideon’s place.

Not only he, but also the other professors were surprised, especially Erika, but I felt sorry for him, but I ignored him and took Gideon.

It might have seemed strange to take the male professor rather than the fiancée, but there was a reason.

The carriage departs and the interior is calm and quiet.

Findenai is wriggling his hand to smoke a cigarette, and Illuania offers a drink to a sudden uninvited guest.

Gideon asked me cautiously after drinking the water Illuania gave.

“Hey, what’s the reason?”

“I will tell you how the Geronia family survives.”

“… … !”

Gideon’s eyes widen. You could tell how stressed he was from the shiny red hair that had become frizzy and the thick dark circles around his eyes.

It had been tamed long enough, so now it was time to put it to use.

“A few hundred years ago, during the war of aggression. You must know about the Setima residents who lived on the academy grounds, right?”

“… … !”

Of course you will.

Pretending to be a fake lover, what Erica had been asking for was a record about them.

“Confess to the continent all of your atrocities against them. It would be enough to tell the saintess that you are sorry for your sins.”

“Ha, but then… … !”

Knowing about the inhumane tortures performed on Setima’s residents would be quite a blow to the Geronia family.

“Don’t stop there, build a memorial to honor them. You guys already have the list, so it shouldn’t be difficult.”

“… … !”

“What Your Majesty wants is the contraction of the Geronia family. You were opening your hands too wide.”

However, in the meantime, it was definitely decreasing through the check of the royal family. Now I needed a clear room.

For the Geronia family, not the royal family. It will be a firm sign that they have become so broken that they dare not challenge the royal family.

“If you give yourselves a blow by informing the people of Setima of the atrocities, you will be free from the royal pressure.”

“… … .”

“The choice is yours.”

Will it continue to be gnawed at by the pressure of the royal family? Or are you just going to end it by taking a blow yourself for sure?

Are you going to cut your own flesh?

Or will you wait for your opponent to take the bone?

It was their own choice.

Suddenly, the carriage headed out of the city, and an arrow flew out of the window with a strange rattling sound.

“What?”

Finden Ai, who was looking outside with a sad expression, was interested in what the fuss was about.

I grabbed her by the shoulder and sat her down.

And he bowed to Gideon.

“Now, stop going.”

“Ji, are you talking now?”

He nodded softly at the stupid question.

I wondered if there might be an assassin out there looking for my life. It could have been sent by nobles in retaliation for the royal pressure, or it could have been that the religious side was still awake.

I knew there would be dangers outside the city, so I deliberately let Gideon accompany me.

“I might be able to sort things out.”

When I commanded him with his chin resting on his chin, Gideon opened the carriage door without even thinking of rebelling against me.

“Kyaa!”

Illuania was taken aback by the sudden attack and sweeping the inside of the wagon. Gideon glanced in my direction with a bitter expression and replied.

“Advice, thanks… … do.”

“Go quickly.”

I didn’t have to force myself to say something I didn’t want to say.

As if looking at a well-trained dog, I put my chin on it and the guy immediately jumps off the carriage.

As Finden Eye closes the door, he glances over there and regrets it.

“Wow, that sounds like fun.”

At first, the sound of Gideon fighting the assassins by making a sword of flames was quite loud, but the screams mixed with anger were heard.

The carriage moved farther and farther away, and soon disappeared completely.

Elia Convent.

As a convent that boasts history and tradition, it was a place where a small number of nuns were professionally trained.

A place where the rules are terribly strict and communication with the outside world is cut off.

But that’s why it was a place to serve God regardless of worldly life.

The current Saint Lucia Saint is also from the Elia Convent, and the previous Saint is also the same.

In this way, it is safe to say that Elia Convent is actually a place where saints are produced.

To that extent, they were clean, pure, and each day was an offering to the gods.

“What the hell is this?”

Hamates, the abbess of the nun, had lived here for a long time and had never been so embarrassed.

No, beyond bewilderment, a sense of fear soared.

Early in the morning, the point at which the sun gradually rises over the mountains.

The pentagram drawn outside was in the shape of a goat, which symbolizes the devil, and three charred charred corpses lay on top of it while wearing nun’s clothes.

The burns were so severe that the unfamiliar smell of burning meat emanated from the convent, and the faces were distorted beyond recognition.

In addition to that, the devil’s pentagram had already been faintly erased, but that meant only one thing.

The devil was summoned as a sacrifice of three nuns.

In addition to the crisis of the entire convent, it was necessary to ascertain which crazy nun had acted like this.

The abbess hurriedly rang the bell she always carried in her arms.

with my daughter! with my daughter! with my daughter!

The nuns pour out with a wild bell. There are seven nuns in the Elia Convent.

The sense of betrayal was unique because the abbess was confident that the next saint after Lucia would also come from here, fitting the title of women closest to God.

At least three people betrayed God and did something like this.

The abbess gritted her teeth and couldn’t hold back the anger that boiled over.

The nuns came to the abbess in a hurry because it was the first time the bell sounded at dawn.

In reality, their numbers were smaller than originally.

But the important thing.

“five?”

The number of nuns was five.

The original nuns were seven.

Three corpses that summoned demons.

But there are five nuns left.

One more.

“uh?”
