The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

031.

There was no other reason for calling Bella.

Her potential that Balik said.

Because I was interested in it.

So, I prepared a few things.

“I don’t know if a commoner like me can sit here.”

“It’s okay, just relax.”

It’s not even my room anyway.

Still, as a foodie, I want to show all my condescension.

I put an object in front of her.

Bella tilted her head at the three glasses and marbles on the table.

“What is this?”

“Things that reveal your talents.”

Sitting across from Bella, I asked a question.

“Do you know how the qualities of a hero are determined?”

“I heard that you are chosen by God, isn’t it?”

“There are other means as well. This is it.”

Even in the game, you can enter the academy through this.

It was like a tutorial.

“It is a cup that determines justice, wisdom, and discipline, respectively.”

“What about marbles?”

“Aura, magical power, knowledge.”

“Geology?”

Bella asked if it was an unfamiliar word.

“It is to see if you have talent in academics. Alchemy, magical research, and more. Do you think that a hero is someone who only puts his will into battle?”

“I heard there are alchemists and sorcerers.”

Even in the Aden party, there are party members with a natural talent for geography.

stellar.

An alchemist who rose to the position of an intermediate hero despite being a commoner.

The potions and throwables she made were so important that they couldn’t be without them.

Reduces pain, sharpens senses, heals wounds, and weakens enemies.

An alchemist was an indispensable being who supported his comrades behind the scenes of the battlefield.

“Are you trying to figure out my talent with this? why?”

Understanding the situation, Bella expressed a legitimate question.

I explained it as if it was no big deal.

“Because I saw your potential.”

“You only gave directions once?”

“You are humble.”

“yes?”

“Wasn’t it wonderfully guiding me to a place no one has ever experienced before?”

It’s just overpacking.

Possibility? I’ve never seen anything like it.

Still, I was thinking about investing.

It was an enemy, but it was enough to take a moment to check what Balik said.

‘It’s okay if you have talent or not.’

I stared at Bella, who suddenly became serious.

“Is there anything to worry about?”

“I’m embarrassed and afraid when an opportunity like this suddenly comes.”

“Are you afraid?”

“yes. do you listen? I don’t look like this, and I’m not particularly proud, so I’m just a person who sticks to the mercenary guild.”

“yes.”

“Ugh, I don’t need to be positive.”

“Keep talking.”

Bella, sullen as if hurt, continued.

“Even if I have talent, I don’t have the elements to unfold. Let’s say you have a talent for justice and aura. I need to learn the sword, but I have no money. The equipment, and the tuition fees to attend the academy.”

Bella was in the midst of preaching about the fear of money.

He said that there is nothing more terrifying than being frustrated in front of the wall of reality even after realizing one’s shining talent.

“So if I had a talent… I’d rather not know.”

“The problem is money.”

“yes… Yo?!”

I picked up a handful of platinum coins from my inventory and took them out.

Bella, who nodded, opened her mouth in surprise at the amount.

“If you have talent, invest in it. Then you talk at length about the problem that will end.”

He handed her a glass and beads.

There was no need to talk further.

Bella set out to check her talent with her eyes fixed on the platinum coin.

“Is this right?”

“okay. Go on.”

I smeared magic water on my hand and sifted through an empty glass.

After that, grab the marble and you’re done.

It is a simple method of determination, but there was no more accurate method than this.

“Mmm.”

I twitched my eyebrows at the revealed result.

I’m surprised by this.

I expected it because I knew my way well and was good at botany.

‘Wisdom is knowledge.’

There is not only one gifted quality in this determination.

However, it was not uncommon for two to appear.

Such was the talent of a warrior.

A world of geniuses whose walls are so high that they cannot succeed even if they only set their minds on one thing.

Bella stepped into that world from the beginning, displaying her talent for two qualities.

“Wisdom and knowledge have come out.”

“Is it good?”

“Don’t think about going anywhere to tell me that it’s not good.”

“Ah… .”

I need to kill it for a while.

It seems like it’s easy to be arrogant as much as your words and actions seem light.

As soon as I realized my talent, investment became an established fact.

If you invest in her now, it will be a reliable force for the future.

Well, that would also depend on Bella’s efforts, but I had no intention of leaving it alone.

‘Because I have to recover more than I invested.’

I have no intention of spending just because I have a lot of money.

This is all the money I earned after some effort, but it can never be wasted. cancer.

“Based on your talent, you should go to the Alchemister school.”

“You mean to be an alchemist?”

“It will depend on what else you major in there. You can become an alchemist, or a summoner or a sorcerer.”

“What is the summoner again?”

“It’s like taming a monster or summoning a phantom beast from the fantasy world to make a contract.”

“Aha, you call those bizarre things we saw when we were there like limbs.”

“As far as I can afford.”

Bella trembled once, probably remembering the mysterious bird and phantom beast she had seen in the fantasy world.

Then, realizing the location of the Alchemister School, he widened his eyes.

“Then I will go to the Empire?”

“It will be like that.”

There are not one or two warrior training facilities on the continent.

Cain Academy was the only one that was considered the best, but the Alchemister School, Mage Tower, and Knight Academy were also working hard to foster warriors.

The problem is that the results are not good.

“Can I bring my family?”

“If this is not enough.”

I pointed to the platinum coin.

After calculating the amount in her head for a moment, Bella nodded.

“What can I do for Locke-sama?”

Do you not understand the meaning of investment?

I let go of what I thought.

“Learn it first. Just think about it. Send regular contact to Cain Academy.”

“What content?”

“How much you have grown. What position did you rise to there?”

“And what?”

“Repeat what I said the first time until I come to you.”

The merger war that will take place before the resurrection and punishment of the demon king.

I also needed to build my own group.

‘I need to recalculate the timing of the Convergence War or the resurrection of the demon king.’

By destroying what Valik had, it could have freed up time from at least 2 years and 6 months to a maximum of 3 years.

‘That’s how much the devil’s resurrection time was delayed.’

Destroying the fragments this way will give you enough time to get stronger.

Or if only I could absorb all the fragments.

‘What will happen then?’

It is a question that cannot be answered immediately.

It was a question that could be answered if a fragment was obtained, whether it was self-awareness or a resurrection type that gained a body.

“Here, Mr. Locke.”

“Tell me.”

“You’re from the imperial capital, so why do you have to send a letter to Cain Academy?”

At this point, it’s time to clarify.

I revealed my identity in a calm tone.

“Because I am a warrior from there.”

“uh. uh… .”

Are you tired of being surprised?

I asked her a few favors as she looked at her speechless.

“I plan to have an errand boy send the elixir ingredients to the Alchemister School later. I want you to refine it and send it to the academy.”

After that, it was the way I received it through the contact.

It’s cumbersome, but I can’t help it.

I have no choice but to accept it from a floating position.

“Then, how many reactions did Locke-sama show here?”

Are you curious because you’re from there?

I picked out a few and showed her.

“Five.”

Of course, it was a decision made before graduation.

At that time, Lokram had no talent for magic.

“Me, then how incompetent I am… .”

It wasn’t intentional, but it was fortunate that I was able to kill Bella even more.

***

“… So, on the way to the northern battlegrounds, you want me to meet a woman named Bella from the Alchemister School and give it to you?”

“Can you do that?”

“Because it’s a request from Lokram. you can do it.”

The cone-shaped hat shakes at the nod of the head.

Leia held the magic core more precious than the hat that was about to fall off.

it will fall

“Write well. fall.”

“Won’t Lokram pick it up for you?”

“It is, though.”

“Then it doesn’t matter.”

He’s too clumsy to ride.

Compared to his thorough-looking appearance, he has a flirtatious temperament on this side.

look Dropped a gear nose.

“hmm?”

I picked up a letter with a familiar name on it.

It was sent to Leia by Duke Terren.

However, the sealing wax was still there.

‘I haven’t even read it.’

Leah, who has been disappointed by her father’s resignation, seems to be still in a state where her emotional goal is not filled.

“ostrich. dropped.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“It’s from my father, is it okay if I don’t read it?”

“I hate reading. I have no intention of reading it.”

I don’t mean to force you to read it.

Still, I suddenly wanted to say something.

“When you can see it, when you can hear it, when you can touch it, if you can, I think it’s good to try everything.”

What are your real parents doing?

mother father. I’m trying to survive well, so don’t worry about me and stay for now.

I’ll go right away as soon as I rip off the demon king’s head.

“I will.”

“hmm?”

On the way back after buying equipment and tools for the party members.

Leah stopped walking.

She grabbed the letter and walked away.

He stands in front of me and stretches out both hands.

My eyes naturally went to the stationery soiled with finger stains and dirt.

“Can you give me a hand?”

“You mean both hands?”

“huh.”

He held out his hand without any doubt.

Leah took my hand.

then looked at me

It was Leah who broke the momentary silence.

“Cheer me.”

“Tell me specifically.”

“Cheer up on the way back.”

It’s a bit of an odd request.

Still, what feels familiar is that her actions always jump out in the game.

“Don’t die on the way.”

“What if I die?”

“I can make you angry like you are angry.”

Leah smiled at those words and nodded her head.

“I’ll look forward to it.”

I’m not expecting it.

No, it’s something you shouldn’t expect.

I don’t know if you know my worries or not.

Leia caressed the back of my hand and then removed it.

“Letter, I will read it.”

“Good idea.”

“Will the day to see you again come soon?”

I can’t say for sure.

So, in silence, Leia took care of the magic core.

With her peaked hat down, she walked past me.

“If you don’t come early, I’ll come find you.”

“Mmm.”

that’s a bit difficult

Should I go as early as possible and show my face to the party members?

‘I’ll have to get stronger before that, though.’

There is still a long way to go.

I saw Leah off and went to the annex.

I was thinking of taking a break now.

But the world didn’t turn the way I thought.

“Low… ! You are here.”

Gredrin, the 17th leader of the black child.

I don’t know how he came to know, he was in front of me.
