ALL NOVEL chapter 26
Episode 26
black magician.
In large respects, warlocks are not very different from wizards.
Actually, I only use black magic instead of magic, but other things are almost the same.
Because of this, the players concluded that the movement of the warlock was slow without even seeing it.
But that was a big mistake.
“Crab stand!”
The speed of the running black mage while summoning the skeleton horse.
Because he was never inferior to any warrior or thief.
“it’s crazy! What did you bring!”
“Hey… … !”
Sihyeon and Siyeon were frightened when they saw the black magician.
I thought it was just an orc, but it came with a warlock riding a skeleton horse and shooting destructive magic!
“Come over here!”
“The trap has been laid, so just follow us!”
Sihyeon and Sihyeon shouted and went into the forest.
Fafnir and Bane disappeared after them, followed by a skeleton horse riding a warlock.
“porridge… … . this guy!”
Tutu-tung.
Arrows flew at the black magician who was collecting the mana of darkness.
The warlock who was interrupted by the attack exploded in anger.
“Ouch! these guys! I will not kill you gracefully!”
Fafnir heard the scream and sped up.
“What happened?”
“A warlock living in an orc, what’s going on inside… … .”
Sihyeon and Siyeon running beside me asked.
After thinking for a while, Fafnir answered.
“The warlock is using the orcs as his subordinates, and then he sees us and chases after us.”
“ah… … . That guy is the captain!”
“If you catch it, it will be great.” … .”
The vision that I understood at once.
Bane, who had closed the distance from behind, asked.
“But I think I will catch this, will I win if I fight?”
Fafnil shook his head.
“Minimum level 120 or higher. I will never catch you.”
It is a fact guaranteed by Fafnir’s sense of clearing hundreds of thousands of games.
“Then should we disperse before the trap runs out?”
“No, I have an idea.”
Fafnir explained the operation to the three.
“Is that it?”
“To be or not to be, we have to decide quickly now.”
“I agree!”
“Whatever it is, do it right away. I’m like this… … I think I will die.”
Siyeon, who has poor stamina, is already out of breath.
The situation was not very different from the other three.
“Okay, then let’s start right away.”
Fafnir beckoned right away.
At the same time, the three people took out extra equipment in unison.
* * *
“Yes?”
Kazandrax, the warlock who was chasing the humans, tilted his head.
“Skeleton disease? Was there a necromancer among them?”
The two guys who ran away were an exception because they moved quickly.
The necromancer was probably a colleague waiting outside.
‘Then they’re colleagues!’
I still don’t know which god I follow, but being under the same evil-affiliated newspaper made me want to put things in my hands.
‘I’ll have to capture him as much as possible.’
Of course, there is no mercy for the rest.
Especially the guy who made this trap.
The traps that always come out the moment you memorize a spell or speed up!
It wasn’t enough to inflict a fatal wound, but it was too strong to ignore.
‘Even the guy who made this can’t send it well. I will make you beg me to kill you!’
Kazandrax, who had been running for a while, frowned.
‘There he is.’
Four newcomers seen through the trees in the distance.
Seeing them holding a bow or wearing a robe, it must have been those guys.
‘I’m going to go to the way that captures it as much as possible.’
Kazandrax gave up destruction magic and instead created curses and walls of bones.
The mana of darkness makes the bodies of the four heavy, and the ground turns into a mud swamp, holding their ankles.
‘I have to convince the necromancer, and inflict all kinds of pain on the others before killing them.’
In order to catch it without getting hurt as much as possible, I caught it without using all of my special skill, destruction magic.
It was a mistake.
The moment he got close to the four people he had defeated, Kazandrax realized.
“Skeleton disease… … ! And all of you!”
Kazandrax’s eyes were full of blood vessels.
“These bastards… … . me… … cheat!”
will kill them all
Kazandrax rolled his eyes in a fit of rage to the skies.
‘They didn’t get far. If the main body escaped to another place, there is no way the surrounding Orcs would miss the trail.’
A warlock must know how to have lava-like rage and a cold heart at the same time.
Kazandrax’s brain continued to roll even as the road ran amok.
‘If there were no magic spells, and there was no escape… … .’
The next moment, the Skeleton Horse turned 180 degrees backwards.
“These guys!”
Kazandrax returns to the fort as it is.
This time, he spread the mana of darkness around him and checked the floor.
‘Now I know what kind of trickery it is.’
They must be hiding in traps.
After a while, the backs of four people appeared in front of Kazandrax’s eyes.
Robes and armors who have just come out of a trap and are trying to escape.
“I can’t go, you bastards!”
Let’s block four people by randomly throwing dark balls… … .
Click, wagrak!
The four new models crumble like lies.
Instead of a Fafnir party, the place was filled with broken skeleton soldiers’ bone fragments.
“Oh no!”
Kazandrax and Skeleton Horse stopped at the same time.
Could it be that this time it was a skeleton disease?
“Then where did they go… … ?”
Not inside the fort.
Now that he had radiated his magic power, the orcs were roaming around with the utmost alert.
“There is no such thing as teleport magic… … . Then what the hell… … .”
The bewildered Kazandrax walked away into the fortress.
A few minutes after he disappeared.
rustle.
One side of the soil from a nearby trap stirred, and an eye appeared and looked around.
“… … It seems to have gone.”
“Then can I leave now?”
“Keep quiet.”
The ones who walked out of the trap were none other than Fafnir and the others.
Fafnir came out first, followed by Vision.
“Whoa, I thought I was going to die because it was so stuffy!”
“I thought I was just dying… … .”
Sihyeon and Demonstration shaking off the dust.
Beside him, Bane dusted off Fafnir.
“Good work, thanks to you, all four of us survived.”
“If possible, everyone should live. This is a quest that cannot be taken again upon death.”
“Yes, yes.”
Bane nodded.
“I’d believe it even if it was a real special forces unit. To think of something like this in such a short amount of time.”
“It wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the necromancer.”
After making a bait with a skeleton bottle and sending it.
I waited for him to come back and sent a second bait to disturb my mind.
“If he had been a little more careful, he would have searched the traps one more time, but fortunately he wasn’t.”
Still, I didn’t have much time.
By now, the inside of the fort would be turned upside down.
“Okay then, let’s go back. Now is the timing.”
“I will find out the way.”
The moment the party was about to move.
“Now, hold on!”
Vision summoned Fafnil and stood him up.
“What’s wrong?”
“that… … . that is… … .”
To Fafnir’s question, Sihyeon answered with a voice that seemed to crawl into a rat hole.
“… … After you go.”
“yes?”
“that… … . He said he got cramps after lying down for a long time.”
“… … .”
* * *
Fafnir submitted the materials as soon as he returned to the fortress.
The aftermath was amazing.
“Now, wait a minute.”
Fortress Commander.
To the extent that even the tallest person in the fort would jump out in one month.
“Are you Fafnir who got this information?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I see… … .”
The commander took a deep breath and bowed his head in front of Fafnir.
“Thank you so much, if it wasn’t for you, I would have been helpless by the orcs.”
– Acquired contribution to terrorism and espionage.
– Acquired combat contribution.
-Reported very important information.
-Experience gained.
You got -10 gold.
– Reputation has increased by +100.
-Obtained the flag (rare) of the Turtle Rock Knights.
-Fortress Commander Kadas’ affinity has increased by +20.
Big rewards that follow right away!
“Oh, this is too much.”
“No, your party did more than this. Please accept it.”
The size of the orc army, the advance route, the supply situation, and even the case of the warlock.
In terms of monsters, it was like they had all their weaknesses and trivial habits stripped bare.
“Tell the lord of Byron City about the rest of the reward. I need to prepare for this.”
– A new linked quest ‘Byron Shiro’ has been created.
Fafnir asked the other three.
“I think I’m going back right away, but what about the three of you?”
“I should get some rest. I have to do laundry and clean… … .”
“I’m tired today… … . I want to do more, but it ends here!”
“I will go in too. Thank you so much for today, Mr. Fafnir.”
Sihyeon and Siyeon showed signs of being tired.
Fafnir was tired too, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t rest as much as he wanted.
‘It’s not time to get off work yet, so I’ll have to do it by then.’
Fafnir headed to Byron City again.
“Are you going to enter the castle? I’m a familiar adventurer, but… … .”
“I need to meet the lord.”
When I showed the commander’s order, I was able to meet the lord right away.
“I am the lord. The Commander sent you?”
“Here it is.”
“… … !”
When the order was delivered, the lord’s eyes widened.
“Oh my God, you’ve done some really great things!”
In the order, Fafnir’s major and achievements, and the elements to contrast with the movements of the Orc army were written.
It is also said to give a reward without being upset.
“Hey, you really have been through a lot. Thanks to you, the kingdom has received great favor.”
“That much… … .”
“It deserves such praise for confirming the background of the Orcs.”
You got -5 gold.
-Obtained 5 diamonds.
-Obtained 5 Sapphire.
-Obtained 5 rubies.
-Obtained 10 Jin Steel Ingots.
-Obtained Varian’s Light Feather Cloak.
Get rewards in the fortress, and get rewards here again!
It was literally ‘Eat a pheasant and eat an egg’.
‘Of the jewels, I’ll take the ones I’ll use as materials for black magic, and distribute the rest to the Sihyeon side.’
Of course, since we were in a party of four, we had to divide it into quarters, but it was still full and overflowing.
‘Then shall we call a skeleton soldier and do some maintenance?’
It was then.
By the time Fafnir is about to turn around.
After finishing the table, the lord held onto his shoulder and asked.
“Hey, are you free right now?”
“yes? yes.”
“That’s good. Could you please do me just one favor?”
-The linked quest ‘Lord’s Request (Magic)’ has been created.’
“What is your request?”
“According to the information, we should ask the capital to organize a punitive force and support, but we don’t have enough power to send regular soldiers.”
Orcs might attack tomorrow.
It means that the soldiers of the castle cannot be removed in such a situation.
“I would really feel relieved if a trustworthy adventurer like you went instead, but how could that not be?”
“… … .”
It’s good to just accept it, but let’s negotiate a little more here.
“If you trust me that way, I will be grateful.”
Fafnir, who was answering, was speechless.
“but… … .”
“Just something?”
“Since my job is a necromancer, I’m worried that I won’t be ignored in the capital… … .”
“hmm… … !”
In Horizon, evil classes are not treated very well.
Although they were granted permission to coexist, they had to live with the eyes of surveillance and distrust on a daily basis because they did not know what they were plotting.
Especially if it was the capital of the kingdom, such a gaze would be even more intense.
“I want to follow the lord’s instructions like a chimney, but I’m worried that I won’t be harmed even if I go.”
“Don’t worry, I will take care of my actions.”
The lord took out a seal from his bosom and handed it to Fafnir.
“Write down your name.”
“What is this?”
“Guardian knight seal. If you inhale mana, the spirit of the female knight will come out to protect you, so you won’t have to worry about being attacked.”
-Obtained Penelope’s Guardian Knight Seal (Unique).
‘You don’t have to worry about yourself? What is this?’
When I opened the status window, the information appeared.

‘This crazy… … !’
Growth item!
Fafnil’s chest choked.
‘If I said a word well, the first place in the lottery ticket exploded.’
