The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

023.

Acrid smoke billows from all sides.

Even in the knee-deep bushes, the flames blazed fiercely.

Acrid smoke and hot heat penetrated the humid air.

The mercenary, who had been staring blankly at this, twisted his lips.

“I came here because the pay is good, but the raids don’t stop.”

A colleague next to him scolded at his muttering.

“Don’t grumble, burn the corpse quickly. You don’t want to deal with the undead one more time.”

“Tsk. In the old days, it was said that if you just buried it in the soil, it would be good. Damn the Demon King. ”

“Is there anything special? If you want to be buried intact, you have to become a hero or a hero.”

“If you fall behind, you’re saying it’s going to be bone meal.”

It is an era in which making graves has become a foolish act.

This is because the demon king’s curse on the continent revives the corpse as undead.

That’s why the dead are burned right on the spot.

Heroes and warriors preserve their bodies with precious blessings and enshrine them.

“hmm?”

“what. Are you a wizard?”

The mercenaries stared beyond the flames.

A small man with only a staff floating next to him was approaching.

“If you were a wizard, you would have a lot of money, but why do you have to come all the way to this place where there is a gold station?”

“I know. let’s not touch If there is a spark, life at the bottom will die just like us.”

The two made their way quietly.

Something fell under the robe of the wizard who was passing them.

something rectangular and thin.

It was an unopened letter.

“Huh!”

As he read the letter, he sighed.

He knew the seal on the sealing wax.

“Bae, you’re the seal under the direct control of the White Horse Tower… .”

It meant that it was a letter sent by the Master of the Magic Tower.

The mercenary brushed off the dirt on the letter with trembling hands.

“hey.”

I swallowed my tension and called the wizard.

I couldn’t see the wizard’s face as he slowly turned around.

It was because of the wide-brimmed hat.

“why?”

“You dropped this.”

“thank you.”

A calm thank you and the return of the letter took place at the same time.

What just happened was so quick that I wondered if it was an illusion.

“What, what?”

The mercenaries rubbed their eyelids.

The wizard who received the letter and turned around disappeared in an instant.

They wondered if they were possessed by something, but they continued the incineration work they had put off at the mercenary leader’s screams.

***

Sup, it’s a joke here too.

I mean, I was looking forward to it.

I can’t increase the undead because I can’t get a corpse.

I entered the city hiding my disappointment.

The first impression of the eastern forward city, Gravas, was not bad.

The faces of the passers-by showed composure.

There was a reason to maintain this atmosphere even though it is a place next to one of the 5 Geumyeok.

‘Was the Marquis who governs this place a hero?’

An existence beyond a senior warrior.

With one blow, it creates a small lake and demolishes the edge of a mountain.

They were just monsters.

Therefore, it was the target to be avoided the most.

‘It would be best to avoid contact as much as possible.’

As long as the grade of the person wrapped in a veil stays at S rank, it was obvious that he would be able to see through the black magic.

So, I just wanted to finish my work quickly and leave.

‘Then, let’s start with a room and get some information.’

Gravas arrived after two full months.

I planned to focus on securing information while relaxing for a few days.

“Can you give me the nicest room here?”

“Of course I do. Here is the key.”

There was no need to talk too long at the Golden Page Inn.

After managing my condition for several days, I went to the mercenary guild.

Knowing about geumyeok and knowing geography are completely different.

Now that guides were desperately needed, there was no better manpower than mercenaries who made money going back and forth to the gold station.

“Are you a wanderer? name.”

To hide his identity, he handed over a free citizen identification card.

Fortunately, the receptionist did not recognize me, who covered my face with a mask.

“lock. You are from the Empire. Are you out of town? Will you be rich then?”

It is more central than the imperial capital.

It was made on the way to make up for the suspiciously rich possibility.

I looked at him with interest in his eyes and replied calmly.

“Are you going to steal it if you have a lot?”

“Kuh, it can’t be. It doesn’t seem like you’re San-nim if you’ve come this far. What business are you here for?”

“I need a guide. I’m going to look around the entrance, can you post it?”

“Guess who introduced you?”

“I just came because this place is the cleanest way to get things done.”

“If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. Here, the mercenaries’ careers.”

The receptionist took out the papers.

I took it and glanced at it lightly.

Even in Aden Saga 1, career is important when hiring mercenaries.

This is because this game is so realistic that it is common for various traumas that are manifested in chronic diseases or battles to catch up.

‘This guy is a coward, is this guy afraid of seeing blood? He only dealt with blunt weapons.’

A few minutes to filter out the mercenaries using your game knowledge.

I was able to weed out two good-looking mercenaries.

“Can I meet them once?”

“Well, a conversation is essential before writing a request. Then go up and wait. Hey Bella! What are you doing without having guests!”

“Ah, yes!”

A dumb-looking woman came running frantically.

He has orange hair and a face full of freckles.

She looked at me and smiled like a fool.

“hehehe, come this way.”

The second floor was decorated as a reception room.

After being guided and seated, Bella served the car.

“What are you going to do in the beginning? Oh, sorry if that was a presumptuous question.”

I apologize as soon as I ask.

My self-esteem seemed very low.

Still, it seemed like a good way to pass the time with a conversation.

“How long have you been working here?”

“hmm… , It’s been about a year now. Do you have anything to ask?”

“Is your job the receptionist?”

“No, first of all I am a mercenary running outside.”

“Still, there must have been a problem since he assisted the receptionist.”

“It’s embarrassing to say.”

“I think it’s something related to gold station. Am I right?”

“Is that so?”

“I want to hear it.”

“It’s a bit like exposing my private parts… .”

It’s a conversation that’s more interesting than you think.

Since I couldn’t open my mouth easily, I opened my wallet.

A gold coin that doesn’t even scratch the funds in my hands.

put it on the desk

“Huh?”

“Is it not enough?”

“That, um… .”

Do you think they will give you more if you ask for it?

I could see Bella’s collarbone moving.

Of course, I had no intention of giving more.

If I could listen to it for 1 gold, I would listen to it, and if I couldn’t, I would stop.

“all right. I will only tell you until the seniors arrive.”

Bella was wise.

I took 1 gold without compromise.

“As for how that happened… .”

she was a guide

He has built a career as a mercenary by guiding explorers and simmanis to safe places in the city.

“Then it happened.”

While working as a guide, as usual, a blue sphere appeared in front of him.

“I passed out when the light flashed. When I woke up again, the clients had disappeared.”

There are many cases of mercenaries’ failed requests.

Losing a client or dying or getting hurt yourself.

Bella was unusual.

It was because he came back alive and well.

And that side must have acted as a great disgrace to the mercenary.

“After that, my reputation hit rock bottom and I couldn’t even pay for my meal as a guide, let alone accept a request. That’s why I was in a position to help the receptionists.”

“is it.”

Um, I’m relying on this.

Any clues here?

That too is a living witness.

Unexpected luck was seized with a few words of conversation.

I opened the door just in time and looked at the mercenaries entering.

“Hey Bella. Stop dealing with customers and go downstairs. I have a lot of work to do.”

“oh. yes!”

“Kuh, look at you flustered. That’s why you hear the voice of the b*tch who abandoned the clients.”

Bella’s shoulders trembled at the muttering to be heard.

They sat in front of me with sly smiles.

“You are the client. I don’t know if we need to be protected by the fact that we have a strong body. Now, shall we talk about the request?”

“Your client?”

As they continued to speak, questions spread across their faces.

It has to be.

I wasn’t looking at them right now.

“hey.”

At my call, Bella turned her head.

It’s a look full of doubts that makes you want to call yourself.

He made eye contact with her and pointed to an empty seat.

“Sit down.”

“yes yes?”

“You are leaving.”

“… yes?”

surprise and doubt.

Looking at each other’s conflicting reactions, they buried their backs on the sofa.

“I want to change the mercenary to hire.”

“What is that… .”

The question on their faces spreads to shame.

He said it straight to the faces of the two of them.

“Did you not hear? I don’t want to entrust the commission to those who despise and despise my family members.”

At the words and actions that did not show respect, the faces of the two turned red.

You won’t be able to stumble on this.

It’s a world where the rich and talented are the top customers.

So the two of them had to go out on the road without a sound.

“I-I suddenly change to me?”

The vacant seat was taken by Bella, who had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

***

A wanderer from the imperial capital.

The first time he saw that identity card, the sound of his career rising resonated in his head.

Bravan, the receptionist of the Patakan Mercenary Guild, could not hide his laughter.

“hehehe, at this rate, the receptionist will be able to sew it within this year.”

Even in the approaching heat of early summer, he was not annoyed.

A bright future is clearly drawn, but what is there to be stressed about?

As I was sorting through the papers with my mouth closed, I raised my head to the sound of a door coming from the second floor.

“hmm?”

I am filled with anger at the sound of footsteps descending the stairs.

I watched it with a hopeful heart, and my expectations did not deviate.

“you guys… Did you fight with the client?”

They’re not fighting kids.

Because they have built up a good image in this industry.

But why is your face full of anger?

The reason was understandable in a word.

“Did you suddenly say you would hire Bella?”

“uh. What is the reason for changing to that stupid kid… .”

“Doesn’t this matter? If Bella goes back alone without a client after going with her, the image of the guild will only fall into ruin.”

“Haa, that’s f*cked up… . You said you don’t need another mercenary?”

“I got kicked out without even having to say that. There was no time to recommend.”

“Once you know, wait. I’ll try to invite the escort.”

Bella Hiring only that woman is a problem.

She is a woman who lost as many as four clients and returned alone.

The guild leader heard her ejaculation and didn’t fire her.

Even more, the guild leader needed for persuasion was now vacant.

‘I have to solve this problem somehow.’

It is you who accepted the client.

They had to induce them to hire mercenaries other than Bella.

obviously it should be

“Do you understand why I refused to hire an escort?”

The client who came back a few days later was accompanied by about a dozen people.

Bravan’s expression was no different from Bella’s next to him.

No, I thought you were a talented wanderer.

Isn’t this a one-person mercenary guild that moves?

Locke, he really just wanted a guide.

look at those gears

Light flows through each one.

At that level, everyone would be at the level of an A-class mercenary.

If so, there is nothing more to say about this.

In the end, Bravan had no choice but to give Bella constant attention.

“No matter what happens, never abandon the client.”

“yes!”

“Huh, make sure to come back well this time. Why do I say good. know?”

“Sure. This time, even if it means death, I will guide the client safely. We are also returning together.”

“Believe.”

“I will never disappoint you.”

Only then did Bravan step back and return to the reception desk.

Being anxious is being anxious, and you can’t postpone what you have to do today.

Another client came in front of him while he was working hecticly until lunchtime.

A small woman with a cane floating beside her.

“What is the wizard doing in this shabby place… .”

“I need a map.”

Another client appeared who wanted a map, not a guide this time.
