Black Summoner - Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Speculation

Trisen Castle

The morning after Tristan returned from Crest Forest, King Zel summoned the generals to the Round Table meeting room, at Trisen Castle early in the morning. Currently, all generals are in the room: Azgrad, Dan, Shtra, and Tristan, except for Clive.

“Clive, that bastard skips again, doesn’t he?”

“It seems that he took his lieutenants out. Some of his subordinates saw him flying away with green magic a few days ago late at night.”

“Oh, that’s why we called everyone this time.”

“Clive? Did he do something again, dad?”

Azgrad gasps dumbfounded.

“Prince, I’ll explain that.”

“Tristan?”

Tristan leaves his seat and walks into the center of the room. The action is strangely empty.

“It started four days ago at midnight. On that day when General Dan’s men witnessed General Clive, about half of the soldiers, including the adjutant of our Hybrid demon beast corps and the battalion commander, went missing. “

“Missing? What are you talking about? The Hybrid demon beast corps must be on an expedition. Surely it was a monster subjugation, are they captured?”

“Yes, they were supposed to be led by my adjutant Wolfred. They were supposed to take the Giant King, the hidden card of our army.”

“That’s one more reason that it is not understood why they are missing.”

The Giant King is an S-class monster. Due to its destructive power and toughness, almost no one in Trisen can beat it. It’s different if you act as an army, but alone, probably only Clive’s S-class magic or Azgrad on a dragon. Besides, half of the Hybrid demon beast corps trainers and the monsters under their control were laid out around it. Even if the opponent is an S-class monster, there would be no delay.

“It is also mysterious. And what is the relationship between Clive and it? Hey, no way…”

“General Dan, you noticed that, yes, General Clive charmed our troops, just as he did to his men.”

Everyone begins to buzz at Tristan’s words. Especially the accompanying lieutenants seem to be upset.

It is the same with Jin, the adjutant of the Steel Knights. He didn’t know Clive had that power. With the power of Clive’s charm, the transformation of the magical Knights after his arrival, the answer is naturally deduced.

“General Dan, why did the girls of the Magic Knights become like that?”

“… Oh, it’s a secret story.”

“Why were you silent!? That’s all too…”

“It was such a contract.”

Jin was enraged with blood on his head, but as soon as he heard Zell’s voice, he became strangely calm as if he had been bathed in cold water. However, a nasty cold sweat is flowing on his back.

(What the hell is it now?)

Jin had no idea what he was doing. Zell kept talking without worrying about that.

“Do you all know that his predecessor, Runoa Victoria, left the army with his adjutant two years ago?”

“I miss Runoa. Dan and he were the only ones who were able to compete evenly with my spear.”

“Is he the youngest general of all time? That young’s power was horrifying. Certainly, he disappeared leaving a note that he would leave the army. It’s a waste …”

“Oh, the hole that Runoa went through was tremendously large for my Trisen, because I couldn’t find it even if I arranged for a search, and there was no substitute.”

“It was Clive’s bastard who appeared in the midst of that.”

The story goes back two years.

A few days after Renoa disappeared, there was information that a great green mage appeared in the streets. The man’s magical ability was unmatched in Trisen, and he was particularly good at defensive magic. What’s more, he had a beautiful voice that didn’t seem to belong to this world. It was only a matter of time before the man became famous.

Naturally, Trisen recruited the man. This man might serve as Renoa’s successor. Attention was drawn to the man and was secretly called to the castle.

But the words the man said were incredible.

“If my workplace is full of girls, I can think about it ~.”

His thought’s train was childish. The executives at the time were very disappointed. After all, the rumors were only rumors.

However, the idea was dismissed immediately due to the terribleness of the magic that the man showed, to the rarity of equipment and items that he owned.

Furthermore, the introduction of a merchant from the man’s mysterious network was also attractive. It was a dubious dwarf who hid his face in a robe, but the products he handled were first-class. He even owned legendary items.

Eventually, the merchant became a nation’s possession, and the man entered the Order of the Magic Knights and became a general. On the condition that the female knights of the Magic Knights would be treated freely by the man.

“This is how Clive became a member of our army.”

“It’s a contract with some conditions, such as always making achievements.”

“Of course, this is confidential information that only some people know. If it leaks to the outside… well, do you understand?”

The adjutants shook their heads violently at Zell’s intimidation. Meanwhile, Jin was silent without saying anything.

“Jin, I think you understand, this was what Trisen needed …. Do not let it out.”

“I know.”

Pan! The sound echoed in the room as Tristan clapped his hands.

“We have derailed. Now, here is the main topic. General Clive charmed the Hybrid demon beast corps and attacked the Crest forest of Gown, the beast country!”

“Speaking of Crest forest, do elves live?”

“General Shtra, you know it very well.”

“But why take such a risk? Why the Crest forest?”

“Oh, if it’s just the magic knights it would be tolerated, the problem is that he charmed the Hybrid demon beast corps.”

“Think carefully, everyone. The opponents were the elves, and then is that General Clive… The only answer is that General thought to kidnap elves.”

“” “………” “”

A complicated mood flew through the room.

“Hey, no matter how much of a bastard Clive is, he wouldn’t do that.”

“But my brother. There is certainly information that there are monsters who are kidnapping elves these days.”

“Well, the truth is now in the dark, because General Clive has died.”

“Ah? Is that Clive dead?”

“Yeah. It seems that the adventurers who happened to be in the elf settlement slaughtered him.”

“Don’t be stupid! He is a helpless lustful demon, but he had the ability. It’s not like Kristoff!!”

Excited, Azgrad slammed his fist on the round table.

“Well, listen to the story to the end. Actually, I also saw the adventurer using a cute monster, but the interesting thing is that the appearance matches that of the adventurer who was acting with the hero when Kristoff was captured. Shtra sama, is that right?”

“Yeah. Brother, that was the matter I was asked to do before. The Perth’s adventurer, who has emerged in the last few months, as part of getting information about the Hero. Did you call him Kelvin?”

“Do you want to say that he defeated Clive?”

“Not just General Clive. The charmed Hybrid demon beast corps and the Giant King were also annihilated by his companions. Looking back, Kristoff’s party was supposed to be at the same level as the hero, it was easily captured. But what if that was his job? “

“It may be connected.”

“Tristan, what does the adventurer look like?”

Zel, who has been silent for a while, shows interest.

“In a word, it looks like a grim reaper. He had a huge sickle in his hand and wore a black robe. Most of all, it was impressive that he was laughing constantly during the battle with General Clive.”

“Grim reaper? I see, is he strong?”

“Kuku, more than a god of death. Clive was also noticed by a lot of opponents.”

Trisen’s situation is still bad. However, King Zell was in a good mood, and Azgrad was in a good mood.

“I will ask everyone again. What should we do from now on?”

“Damn, my head hurts. What’s wrong with the King…”

After the meeting, most people leave their seats. The only ones left on the round table were Dan, Jin, and Shtra.

“General Dan, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry about me, but transferring the Order of the Magic Knights to Tristan to finalize the declaration of war… There are a lot of things I do not understand … The King has changed. Even though he was a solid person like Shtra.

Seeing Dan hang down, Shtra exhales. Slowly to releasing the tension.

“Dan, Jin. I have something to ask you, can you listen to me?”

Trisen / Dragoon Headquarters

There is a dragon’s nest in the basement of the dragoon corps base. No, it should be said that a bridge was built over a deep canyon, and the base was built there.

The dragons on which the dragoon soldiers ride, live in this valley and work hard with their partners every day. Trisen advocates the supremacy of humans, but this is not the case with the Dragoons. Both soldiers and dragons trust each other.
Originally, it was part of the Hybrid demon beast corps but, when Azgrad took office as a general, it was split into separate units due to differences in guidelines.

The lower the canyon’s nest, the more powerful the dragon’s home. Azgrad’s favorite dragon is at the bottom of the canyon. The place is dark, and you can barely see the front even when the sun is rising. A dragon was sleeping there.

“Hey, are you fine? You just keep sleeping. Hey, are you still sulking?”

Azgrad speaks to the dragon as if he is talking to a close friend.

“That collar, it’s not really my style. I’m a Dragoon soldier. Well, I brought you an interesting story today. A man has appeared who defeated Clive and the Giant King. “

‘Pikuri’, the dragon’s eyelids move slightly.

“Oh, that’s right! You must be excited about this! That’s because you’re the son of the great Dark Dragon King!”
