chapter 6
006.
“Is it really?”
Voices of joy spread through the waiting room.
Lord of Glaven, Therin Tam Mohanheim.
He grabbed the hand of the guild leader who had suddenly come to him.
“Younglord. You may not do this. I am all burdened.”
“Heh heh, no. How can I be calm about this good news? A wanderer who will solve the Rivatel case! Has he gone there now?”
“Yes, as soon as he finishes his business, we plan to send an investigation team.”
“I’m looking forward to the end of the verification. It was nice to trust you, too.”
The baron holding and shaking his hand.
The guild leader was not fooled by appearances.
‘He’s an old man like a serpent.’
He entrusted the handling to several places and prioritized other guilds over himself.
However, when he coolly scratched the place where he had been suffering from a headache like this, his attitude changed abruptly.
“Then, as soon as the verification is over, I will pay the promised reward. I’ll think of you and give you an extra money, so don’t worry.”
“I am always grateful for the hard work of the lord. So extra money is fine.”
“hehehe, the more I do, the more I want to give. Then let’s go.”
“Yes, then how about Yeongcho… .”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to save you.”
“Then I’ll put my worries aside and tell the wanderer.”
“Yes, yes. Go in and see.”
Returning to the office after sending off the guild leader like that, Mohanheim erased a benevolent smile.
“Butler, you must have heard everything from the side, right?”
“Yes, my lord. It will be difficult to deal with the guild, but we should be able to get rid of the wanderers enough.”
“I don’t know who, but I’m not lucky. We have to stop the leakage of the secrets of our estate.”
“It is fortunate that the work was over before Count Pluto left the temple. Lord.”
“What is over? Don’t let go of tension until the end. It’s not too late to have a toast after dealing with the wanderer.”
Mohanheim raised the glass on the desk.
His expression, as he swallowed blood-red wine, was as refreshed as if he had washed away old grime.
***
The guild leader had to deal with an unexpected person one after another.
That person was Tom, an A-class mercenary.
‘lock. What he said was true.’
It was banned because no one came back alive.
There are only small traces, but the culprit has not been caught.
How dare you send a survivor like this.
“So, what happened there?”
“that is… .”
What Tom said next was surprising.
It was surprising that the culprit who occupied Rivatel was a high-level monster, but the power of the wanderer who caught it was unexpected.
“I couldn’t even follow it with my own eyes. It was so fast and devastating. Didn’t it seem like you forged all the winds around you like the wisdom of a great sword?”
Tom shuddered as he recalled that time.
The guild leader also swallowed a sigh at the helplessness and gratitude of the wanderer who took care of what they had to do instead.
“Besides, I noticed a monster approaching from a place I couldn’t even recognize… He was a great person in many ways.”
“It means you are very strong.”
“Yes, this is my guess, but it might be a hero.”
“Say something that makes sense. Forbidden what the hero is doing… .”
The culprit that appeared in the ban was a monster.
It’s a warrior to step out to subdue such monsters.
The guild leader had an idea.
‘Then, did Locke come as a hero to solve the problems of the South, not the North?’
The South is by no means free from evil.
Perhaps the guild leader had a vague feeling that evil was emerging somewhere deep inside.
But what if that guess is true?
‘He is a talent not to be missed.’
Even if you can’t tie it to a guild, you can build a bridge.
It’s something you don’t know if you can get help someday.
I shouldn’t have neglected the treatment.
First of all, he was trying to find Youngcho through the lord as he requested, but the guild leader did not trust the lord.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I would have saved Yeongcho by selling myself.’
Unfortunately, the wagon has left.
I already knew the dirty tricks of the lord.
So I had to give Locke a word in advance.
He needed to tell the lord the truth after confessing his mistake.
“lock. what is he currently doing? Aren’t you the only one who came?”
“Ah, Mr. Locke says he has work to do, so take the corpse of the monster and stay at the inn. I’ll come back in a week, so don’t come?”
***
Can a person die from muscle pain?
i think i can
I am experiencing it firsthand now.
“f*ck.”
It’s a morning that starts with cursing.
Maybe it’s like this even when I’m sleeping.
That’s how big the aftermath of the storm sword was.
I don’t know how I got back here.
Perhaps an 80km waterless march would not be this hard.
“I die… .”
You have to eat to live.
So when I barely stood up, my right arm felt as if it would fall off.
“Huh.”
I barely took a breath and headed for the visit.
Even the slightest movement causes excruciating pain, so it is me who has found my own compromise.
I moved the tips of my toes to minimize movement.
I opened the door I arrived with with my left hand.
‘It’s there today too.’
At the appointed time every day, a bowl was placed in front of the room.
Drinking water, meat stew, and some loaves of bread.
I wonder if it was the consideration of the innkeeper who was worried about me confined to the corner of the room.
‘I’ll have to add a tip or ridge later.’
I ate food in the room and put out an empty bowl.
I’ll probably refill it at lunchtime.
Feeling full, I sat down at my desk.
I didn’t just rest because I was sick.
I continued to draw the future, and I came up with a plan.
“I got one soul, and what’s left is the Bone Eater and the Rising Undead.”
He glanced sideways.
The embalmed degrease corpse was crushed in a corner.
“It is difficult.”
There is a reason you are worried about this.
Soul binding was activated as I interpreted it, but the two skills were different.
“I wonder what the alternative requirements are… .”
While grunting, he raised his hand to Degrease.
When I consciously used this eater, a notification window appeared in front of me.
Besides the map and inventory, it was the third piece of evidence indicating that this was a world in the game.
[Job conditions not met.]
The red crest scatters leaving only its words behind.
Even if I tried every day, nothing changed.
Bone Eater was like this, Rising Undead was different.
[The gap with the target is too large. The activation is canceled.]
Repeated sentences can be memorized without making a single mistake.
After a few days of thinking, I was able to come up with a few guesses.
1. This eater is related to a terrible hybrid called my profession, a barbaric warrior necromancer.
2. The gap with the target in Rising Undead represents the difference between my current level and the object I want to work as undead.
3. That I need to understand my job to deal with both skills.
The last was the most important.
This job system also exists in Aden Saga 1.
It was a system where the place of birth, status, and overall stats changed depending on the job chosen.
In that respect, barbaric warrior necromancer was a job that could not be chosen or intentionally created.
Because this was a hybrid that I got when I redistributed stats and took new skills.
‘You’re a barbaric warrior and a necromancer. Let’s think about it separately.’
savage warrior.
It’s barbaric. Respect the honor of being a warrior. Even eating is hearty enough to chew and swallow bones.
Necromancer.
Seek practicality rather than fame. Dreaming of ideals peeked out of evil.
hmm… uh?
Eyes raised.
I wondered if I had interpreted magic too much as magic.
Magic is a higher science.
So it got stuck there.
I never made an attempt to take a simple approach.
“Born Eater. You literally eat the bones.”
The Bone Eater was a magic and skill that absorbed the power contained in the bones of the evil thoughts.
Magic to fill the power of oneself that is lacking in my job.
It is magic that heals wounds and temporarily strengthens the body with it.
I got up to use it.
The changed thinking ability led to the mindset that I would count it as doing something crazy once.
Soon, it came to tearing out the relatively thin joints of the degrease.
Kuduk!
The bone of a pure white monster whose flesh had the disgusting scent of preservatives.
My heart doesn’t stand still, but I don’t die.
That’s why I cut off the flesh and dumped the bones into my mouth.
“Big!”
It tastes terrible.
I endured it though.
Then he swallowed rather than chewed.
Feels like swallowing a slightly larger pill.
Nausea comes out of nowhere.
In the midst of this, my mental strength stat calmed down.
It helped with the operation of this data.
“Be absorbed.”
You have successfully completed the barracks.
Now, the results of the experiment will be revealed directly to the body.
please. please be
You’re a savage warrior
You literally ate the bones.
[Conditions have been met.]
“oh.”
I want to let out a shout of joy.
But if I did that, it would have been so painful.
“Kuhh.”
I called for joy in my heart.
The effects of the bones that entered the body in this way spread to the extremities of the body.
Soon, he completely digested the power of his thoughts.
“Looks like I’ll live a little longer.”
awesome
kudeudeuk.
The sound of bones snapping and muscles tightening hit my ears.
The pain subsides and coolness subsides.
This eater was successfully activated.
Thanks to you, I felt liberated.
Say goodbye to the dreaded muscle soreness.
‘About rapid healing and temporary body strengthening.’
The fist I clenched as a test felt a considerable grip.
A line of hypotheses is added there.
What if Rising Undead cannot be activated because the body is weak?
The worry didn’t last long.
“Wake up.”
He immediately put his hand on the body of Degrease and chanted.
Then a notification window appeared in front of my eyes.
It was different from the Bone Eater and Soul Binding, which were triggered without any notification.
[The monster, Degris, has accepted the battle of death. Do you want to start a battle? <If you win the battle (enhancement), you will be able to use Undead Degrease.>]
this is too much
Bone-eating as a savage warrior is a job feature, okay, I understand.
But to be able to work only after defeating the revived corpse?
‘It seems that getting the reinforcement label is stronger than working in the normal necromancer way… .’
Not now.
If I use the storm sword again, I’ll win easily, but this is an inn room.
Considering the location and physical condition, it was a bad condition in many ways.
‘You will work later.’
I gathered the Rising Undead and packed my equipment.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t work right away, but it was okay.
It was because he could do it anytime as long as the conditions were met, and he knew how the two skills worked.
‘Now, let’s go see the guild leader soon.’
I caught the culprit they were trying to find out.
So even if I ask for more compensation, I won’t talk.
My body will also become lighter.
I left the inn after a long time to see the guild leader alone.
Oh, but before that, you should give the innkeeper a tip.
“Go, what kind of money is this all of a sudden?”
“Thank you for putting it on every meal.”
“yes? I have never left food in the guest room?”
Then what was the food in front of my room?
‘Did Tom leave it?’
Well, maybe something like that.
Because he respected me.
It must have been a way of repaying me by not interfering with me for saving my life by successfully completing the request.
I decided to take it easy.
Anyway, it was a comfortable nursing life.
“I was mistaken for a moment. Good job then.”
“A guest over there? Wait. I can bring you a meal if you want, would you like that?”
If you want to collect a tip, grab it.
The innkeeper’s eyes were glistening with greed.
Well, did you ever get a silver coin as a tip while renting a room?
Probably not.
That’s why it’s such an eye.
After all, people are most actively moved by greed.
So, the lord must have used his strength to prevent Glaven’s reputation from diminishing.
‘I wonder if they’re digging a trap.’
I am a wanderer with an unknown identity.
If you show the pattern, you’ll be nervous, but that’s for later.
It’s because you can extract more rewards if you do it dramatically.
“Hmm, then, ask me a favor while you stay. This is the value of the tip.”
“thank you. customer!”
thank you for what
i’m more grateful
Thanks to those greedy eyes, I knew more clearly that this world was a savage Middle Ages.
