The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

009.

“Does that make sense!”

A high-pitched voice spread through the audience room.

Everyone was silent at the anger shown by the hyeonwang.

Some opened their mouths, then shut them tightly.

He, Van Daim von Alcardo, who was looking down, waved his hand.

“Raise your head.”

Only then did the nobility of the kingdom raise their heads.

They hurriedly prepared excuses.

“majesty. Alcardo’s underground aqueduct is a fairly complex structure. In addition, the contaminated magic water flowing through various magic experiments interferes with magic… .”

“Duke of Terren.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Don’t you know what I engrave deep in my heart while leading this kingdom of magic to the path of revival?”

Emphasize the effect rather than the cause.

Show up as if you would give your all for the results.

Be bold in sacrificing for development.

I close my eyes and swallow the things that come to mind.

Duke Terren nodded heavily.

“Even if you have ten mouths, you must say the same thing. sorry. majesty.”

“done. I didn’t call you to blame. It’s because we gathered to come up with a way to solve this situation perfectly.”

“It is a more difficult situation than I thought.”

The middle-aged man next to Teren opened his mouth, as if he wanted it at this time.

Teren’s eyes narrowed thinly.

This is because he was the head of a family who was obsessed with keeping his own family in check and gaining the support of the royal family.

‘Lönburton.’

Again, he stole his words.

It is said that positive growth is possible by holding each other’s strength in check, but now it has crossed the line.

“Hey Lönburton… .”

So I was just about to notice, but the king stopped me.

“Tell me, Lönburton. Because I want to hear a solution, not an excuse.”

“All right. majesty.”

The corners of Lönburton’s mouth, visible through his shaggy beard, were clearly raised.

He said exactly what Terran meant.

It has to be.

This is because it was equally invested in the king’s order to punish the mastermind of the underground waterway.

“… Therefore, we must use a more primitive method than magic at this opportunity.”

“Hmm, what is that?”

Magical water sent by the wizards living in each compartment.

Due to the interference of those possessing magical powers, the magic expression is not smooth.

This meant that tracking and positioning through magic were impossible.

“The group consisting only of knights and alchemists must strike down the culprit.”

“The idea is plausible. But will you be okay? I will have to abandon the convenience of magic and rely on the power of inconvenient torches and cumbersome potions.”

“You don’t have to worry about that part.”

Lönburton had a meaningful smile on his face.

“The new weapon that our family has been preparing is on par with modern magic.”

“I look forward to that. Then prepare it right away and show it at the gym… hmm? Teren, do you have something to say?”

We cannot completely hand over the authority of this operation to Lönverton.

If that happens, your family’s position will be narrowed, and the result will lead to a weakening of your power to support your mage tower and daughter.

‘We need to balance.’

Of course, the means for that were also equipped with Teren.

“The waterway is narrow and complicated to put in a lot of manpower. It’s a situation where you can’t even put a wizard in.”

“yes. So, I have high expectations for what Lönverton has prepared.”

“I am a little concerned. It’s a group when it’s not enough even with a small number of elites. It is sure to lead to another disaster.”

The king frowned.

He seemed to be in a bad mood about talking about failure.

It was intended.

The atmosphere causes a great change of emotions when reversed.

“I am also of the same mind as Your Highness. Sumidani is an evil underground in Alcardo, which runs on the cutting edge of magic and alchemy. I want to tear it to death right now.”

“Then, isn’t it a situation where it would be insufficient to show sharp numbers rather than concerns?”

“So we are preparing. Didn’t it go into your ears too? I mean the hero who stopped by Alcardo.”

“Are you talking about the undefeated hero?”

Did the king even know?

Teren nodded.

“That’s right. I am currently staying at the Royal Library.”

“I heard that it was to carry out an oracle given by the god of war he serves… no way!”

The king, who had been touching his chin, raised his eyes.

While contacting the hero in advance, he felt that he had done well in keeping Roentton in check.

Teren said in a confident voice.

“Maybe that means that the oracle might be an oracle that will remove the bad luck from this kingdom.”

“Heh, heh heh heh! Yeah, maybe not. Terren, then you intend to use the hero as an individual to deal with this situation.”

“You can’t just deal with it. If we can build a bridge with Lokram through this opportunity, wouldn’t we be able to borrow his power in the worst of times?”

“You are right. Then it’s decided.”

Van Dime swept the crowd.

Terren and Lönburton, divided into two factions, how to handle this task faster than anyone else without being dissatisfied with themselves.

It was simple.

It was enough to put up a competition.

“I have been told that the canal is made up of passages large and small… How is it? I’m thinking of giving a big prize to the family that solves this problem first?”

As if they knew this would happen, the two pillars humbly followed.

***

The God of War and the performance of the patterns were certain.

The easily penetrated kingdom gate and the Royal Library.

Among the hundreds of thousands of books piled up here, I chose only what I needed.

As a result, one was found.

‘As expected, this person’s soul would be the most appropriate.’

Although it was a one-time thing, he had the skill to slaughter the enemy, and now he needed a skill to protect himself.

After careful consideration, he chose the soul that was suitable for him.

‘The spiritual embodiment of Hanamero.’

A technique that guides the body to cross the spiritual realm rather than the physical realm.

It was the secret skill of Hanamero, a hero who was one of Alcardo’s founding contributors.

He has survived numerous fires through this.

It was an evasion technique that suited me very well.

‘I have to go get it now… .’

The problem is that the tomb is located on the private property of the White Horse Tower.

Soul binding in Rivatel was easy.

It was because there was no one to see, and the changes that happened to my body had to be covered with a veil.

But this time it was different.

A tomb inside the Mage Tower teeming with those who have mastered the study of magic.

Since the external situation cannot be concealed, it was obvious that he would sense the dark magic caused by the bond of souls.

Besides, that place was where Leah’s father, one of Aden’s colleagues, was the owner of the mage tower.

‘Even if I put aside the rumors that I’m here, I’ll die the moment I catch even a speck of dark magic.’

The skills possessed by the soul are certainly coveted.

It was to the extent that I was greedy to get it even if I took a risk.

There is no alternative, so there is no choice.

I mean, you need a reason.

An excuse to empty the mage tower while the souls are bound.

What is it?

But what is this Sorin from earlier?

“hmm?”

I can’t shout out loud in the library, so I whisper.

The meaning was incomprehensible to my dull hearing.

So, when I turned my head, a middle-aged man in uniform was looking at me.

And I knew this person well.

can’t know

Because his attendant had visited the other day.

“I’ve called you several times, but now you’re responding.”

“There is so much to think about. Duke Terren.”

I can’t speak a hard tone as much as this person.

Outwardly, my identity is an undefeated warrior with a golden pattern and a member of the Aden party.

It was because he was in the position of a colleague with Leia, the only daughter of Duke Terren.

“I don’t mean to come here all of a sudden… How is my daughter?”

“I don’t know either. It’s because I’m working separately from the party.”

“Is it because of an oracle?”

trust? uh oh yeah

You said you were entrusted with an oracle to destroy the evil lurking in the South.

hmm… uh?

I nodded.

There was an answer to the oracle that I had heard while coming here.

“That’s right. I have no intention of joining the party until all evil is destroyed.”

“hmm… is it.”

To be precise, it meant that I wouldn’t go to the Aden party until I got stronger.

Still, it’s enough as long as it makes sense.

I had to seize this opportunity.

“So I have something to say about that oracle.”

“hmm? Is this something you need my help with?”

Terran is happy.

Apparently, he didn’t come just to talk.

That each other has something they want from each other.

It was an ideal situation.

“I kept praying to receive a revelation from my god. As a result, I was able to get a trust recently.”

“Keep talking.”

I looked at him and looked around.

“I don’t think it has anything to say here.”

As it is an open space, there are quite a few people.

Realizing this, Terran stood up.

“Then why not go to the Mage Tower? I also have something urgent to say.”

“I will not refuse.”

I followed him out of the library.

As he was known for being frugal, he did not see any attendants.

“I’m going to use the teleport, but don’t you get motion sickness?”

“Yes, it is fine.”

“Then we will move right away.”

Teren manifested teleport.

A body wrapped in light.

It was the first teleport I was involved in.

I was excited to say… I came up honestly.

I swallowed the bitter water and waited for the light to subside.

The first thing I saw was a statue.

Her hair was grown to her waist, with distinct features.

Her posture follows as much as her confident facial expression.

It’s a dynamic movement with a cane in front.

‘Isn’t that Leah?’

I haven’t seen it here yet, but it wasn’t difficult to recognize it as I’ve been watching it over the monitor for a long time.

Teren stood next to me and looked at the statue with a proud face.

“Isn’t it wonderful? It’s a specialty of the White Horse Tower, made by a famous craftsman in the kingdom.”

“It’s Leah.”

“It is a work that expresses the time when my daughter performed the 4th circle magic in front of me. How unique it was at the time… .”

Now I see, this uncle’s daughter was an idiot.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you released a little bit of the things that helped Leah in the game.

“Go up. Wouldn’t it be better if we rushed each other?”

“It is.”

The office that I reached after climbing the tower.

When I settle down on the sofa, the attendant inside leaves refreshments.

Teren, a man of only two, spoke first.

“I heard you hate using rhetoric, so I’ll say it right away.”

Hitting skip repeatedly in the game comes back like this?

I was calm because I was good.

“So far we’ve been preventing rumors from leaking out, but now we’ve reached the limit. The scope of the catastrophe in Alcardo’s underground cisterns is growing.”

“It seems that various undead have taken the canal cleaners and guards.”

“Did you know?”

“One of the oracles was pointing down.”

“hmm… is it.”

I was convinced after hearing that it was an underground waterway.

The black magician started his activities sooner than expected.

‘Isn’t that fast?’

The owner of the forbidden book, which must have been possessed by the black magician here, was killed at the academy half a year ago during game time.

So it wouldn’t be strange to be active now.

However, the liver is quite large.

Working in the waterways of the Kingdom, at the cost of dealing with the Kingdom.

“You have come to entrust that task to me.”

“It is not just a request. Because the royal family intends to give you a worthy reward.”

Teren pulled a piece of paper from her bosom.

It was a piece of paper with the royal seal of Alcardo on it.

“This is King Myeongseo. It says that if you solve the problem, an appropriate reward will be given to you.”

I received and read it.

Apparently, the king was suffering from this problem.

Well, it’s an underground waterway where all sorts of dirty things happen.

Is there really no filth of the royal family there?

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Even if the king perpetrated a massacre to revive the kingdom, what does it have to do with me?

The conclusion is that.

Thanks to the black magician’s activity, I saved myself the trouble of searching, and gained a justification for binding the hero’s soul.

“I’ll do it. It aligns with the direction the oracle is pointing. Instead, there are conditions.”

Hey, please let the tenants in the magic tower go far away for a while.

That includes you.

I couldn’t bear to say that.

“hmm… I want you to empty the mage tower. Are you serious?”

“Yes, it is related to the trust, so please understand.”

“I don’t doubt it. You’re the most heroic and reliable man I’ve heard from your daughter.”

Leah, did that little kid say that?

It was the first time I heard it.

Still, it was nice to instill trust in Teren.

“How much can I empty? I can’t empty it for a long time, but I’ll do my best to empty it one day.”

“Half a day is enough. I have to stop by the mausoleum behind the White Horse Tower.”

The oracle cannot be arbitrarily interpreted or interfered with.

Swallowing his curiosity, Teren nodded heavily.

“Umm, then I’ll empty the magic tower right away.”

I called for joy in my heart and responded to his favor with an expressionless expression.

“thank you.”

This made it possible to bind the second soul.
