The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

035.

An old man with a bone marrow bone so it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime.

A man who follows such an old man like a teacher.

No, maybe he’s a man now.

Just by looking at his appearance, he seemed like a young man who had just escaped the terms and conditions.

“Are they really allies?”

“Doesn’t it look trustworthy?”

It didn’t happen that way at all.

“Anyway, he is a warrior with great skills.”

Brat Is this man’s eyes a knothole?

Maybe he only knows how to properly see divine power.

If you just saw Dalian and you see that kind of words come out.

“Do you really think so?”

“Yes, are you serious? They could be a powerful tool to turn the tables.”

What does it mean to be a powerful tool?

It’s not even a hard question to ask.

It was right to know everything since I joined the expedition.

“Ah, then I have a meeting with the crew, so let’s go first. Lokram-nim is also having a conversation with the crew.”

I was just about to ask.

Brat quickly moved away.

It was an old man and a young man who took his vacant place.

“hello! I heard you were in the same group as us, is that correct?”

what was your name

Ah, Theat. First of all, the warrior is right.

It’s the pattern of a sword stuck in a rock… .

I stared at the small pattern carved on one side of his forehead.

It wasn’t the same color as the gold I had.

faded brown.

It was the lowest of the three ranks of warriors of the same color.

“You’re a low-ranking warrior.”

“hahahaha, embarrassingly, I don’t have the skills to match it.”

“Looks like it. Because I saw them sparring.”

“Ah, is that so… .”

Looking at Theat smiling awkwardly, he remembered the conditions he shared with Brat.

He fulfilled the conditions he shared with him.

The problem is that it’s a degraded warrior with little skills and an old man whose identity is unknown.

‘Consider me as the leader. Provide the requested supplies within the available resources.’

If they chose these members because they put me first, they were half right.

What I needed right now was the low level of the crew that was good for creating a situation where I could be alone.

But this is not it.

We have yet to hear an exact briefing about the operational area.

All they heard was that powerful undead lurked on an uninhabited island full of black fog.

‘I wonder if they can survive.’

There’s no way.

Even if you know about the enemy, it is a day when you face variables every time.

This is a risk that the scale has tipped to the risk side.

“Can I share a big bow with Brat-sama for a while?”

“yes? Ah yes! Sure. Have a comfortable trip. We will be waiting for you here.”

Teat took the old man to a sunny seat.

I didn’t even glance at them once.

Rather, I thought of protesting against the situation.

“Brat.”

“Ah, Lord Lokram. Did you say hello well?”

“Can we talk separately for a moment?”

Did you see my hard expression?

Brat withdrew his rare smile and nodded.

“is it so. Didn’t you like the members I introduced you to?”

“To be honest, yes.”

“hmm… After much consideration, I pasted it after considering the conditions proposed by Lokram, but you didn’t notice it.”

“The dragon is weaker than expected. Can you go to the island and survive?”

“Hmm. If there is an opportunity to dispel that doubt, would you join us?”

“First of all, I would like to hear the exact plan. My crew, which will be composed of two groups. The role of groups 1 and 2, etc.”

“Whoa, calm down. Lord Lokram.”

Brat waved his hand, showing embarrassment.

Well, I did say it without even realizing it.

Still, I wouldn’t have looked excited with the mental power correction.

I took a deep breath and looked back at him.

“I would like you to answer me.”

“To make a concluding statement, the members of Team 2 feel inadequate, so please join us in the Q&A in consideration of safety. Is this?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm… It’s safe… .”

Brat muttered for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

“If you really doubt the crew members’ skills, how about doing this?”

He spoke confidently as if he had found an answer in an instant.

“Teat. You are going to compete with Lord Bandol, his teacher.”

“yes?”

Go ahead and attack the old man now.

No matter how weak I am, that’s not it.

It is still impossible to control the power of technology.

So, killing an old man during sparring was a no-brainer.

Instead, it could suggest a different direction.

“I can’t control my strength.”

“i know. I heard about it during sparring.”

“So I would like to suggest another alternative.”

“Let’s listen.”

I pointed to the 1st team members behind his back.

“Why don’t you couple all of them with Lord Bandol?”

“Hmm, do you think he won’t be able to withstand the power Lord Lokram poured out on me?”

He remembered the appearance of the old man, Bandol.

I resolutely affirmed.

“yes.”

“Then, if we do sparring according to Lokram-sama’s suggestion, and Lord Bandol’s strength is proven.”

Brat curled up his lips.

“Lokram-nim’s safety has increased, so the dissatisfaction seems to have disappeared. Right?”

“I’ll have to listen to the detailed plan first.”

“Ah, yes. Of course, I was going to tell you right after this. There is no reason not to say it in the yard on a boat. ruler! Then I’ll come to a conclusion. Shall we go?”

He smiled slyly and pointed to the training ground.

I’d like to change the crew, but if either of them proves to be strong, there’s no need to look behind them.

‘It’s not a situation that requires many colleagues.’

All I needed was a location where free personal activities were guaranteed and a minimum of safety.

Dalian broke out again at the training ground.

The difference is that it is one-to-many, and the person standing alone is an old man with a bent back.

‘Did I make a bad suggestion?’

Around the time I had that thought, sparring began.

And it wasn’t long before I had to change my mind.

Bandol. Because he was the knight best suited for the title of Sir.

***

The time allowed to enter the uninhabited island was one month.

Up until now, what Brat had asked for was simple.

‘Create a second group only for Lokram. It would be difficult to expect an increase in power even if I attached a paladin under my command.’

The difference in power between the hero and the knight is far.

Even on the outside, I am a senior.

Brat had correctly interpreted and fulfilled the conditions I had set out.

Well, it wasn’t too bad from my point of view.

It’s because I can tailor the crew I need to suit my taste.

‘There’s no point in wasting a lot of support there.’

The money accumulated by Baek Kyo, the empire’s greatest religion, was beyond imagination.

In addition, as the number of people put in for this exploration was considerable, it took less effort to fill up supplies by selling alone.

‘What’s left now must be a scout to search for an uninhabited island.’

There is no need to buy and suffer to turn the unknown into knowledge.

Because I have a reputation built up at the academy, and through this, there are many allies who will respond to my help.

And I knew the best scouts of such collaborators.

“A Lokram student?”

When I arrived, I heard a voice calling me from behind.

When I turned around, the face I had seen in the game caught my eye.

Like Leah, the female characters related to games are filthy pretty.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but I’m used to it.

Is it because of the time seen in the graphic?

She nodded to Seira, who approached with a thin smile.

“Quietly leave the academy and say hello.”

“I’m OK. by the way… It’s hard to even call them students now.”

“Professor, I would like you to call me wherever it is convenient for you.”

“Then let’s call it Lokram.”

With a more comfortable face, she continued.

“I was more surprised than that. I heard that the other students have just taken their place in the Northern Warfront, but Lokram hunted down a warlock lurking beneath Alcardo? In addition, he contributed greatly to accelerating the development of the ruins of the golden balance… .”

I’m at a loss for words.

No, there will be rumors. I expected it.

‘Don’t you know too much?’

It’s a conversation that feels like something out of place.

It’s been a while since I’ve been thinking that way.

“ah! You are gathered here!”

A lively voice broke the conversation flow.

“Master, come this way. This is the assembly point.”

“Yes? Well, I couldn’t see because my eyes were dim.”

A young man and an old man in tattered clothes.

It was Theat and Bandol.

Compared to the clothes, the equipment all shines.

It was the armor I carefully selected and purchased.

I tried to change the weapon, but he declined because he was accustomed to it.

‘They say it’s never going to break, so I’ll have to believe it.’

All who were to gather gathered.

I briefly explained the situation where the eyes of the three were focused on the zombies gathered around me.

“These are the mercenaries I hired. I can guarantee your skills, so you can rest assured.”

five zombies.

Turned them into veteran mercenaries.

They are not those who have reached the stage of seeing through the Invisible Undying.

So, no suspicions arose.

However, it was a little hard to see how to communicate with the zombies.

“Let’s get on the boat first.”

I couldn’t use short words at the place where I called Seira.

I got on the boat I had to board while speaking honorifics to them.

Had I been seasick?

I’ve never been on a boat so I don’t know.

I had only seen ships built with steel so far, but it was the first time I saw and rode a wooden ship.

On my way to the room where I was assigned half nervous and half thrilled, Seira tapped me on the shoulder.

“Lokram. Are you saying respectful things because of me?”

First of all, I am the leader of the 2nd expedition team.

Did it take such a leader to say something respectful?

He nodded at her cautious question.

Then, Seira invited me with a bright face.

“I’m fine, so it’s okay if you talk nonsense.”

“No matter how much the leader is me, that’s a bit… .”

“are you okay. Even when I was on the battlefield as a warrior, I heard disrespectful words. That side is quick and accurate in issuing orders.”

“Is that so.”

“It’s not like that.”

I pondered for a moment at Seira’s resolute tone.

All that came out of my mouth was the usual tone.

“I will.”

“Exactly. Ah, but that doesn’t mean I’m older than Lokram or anything like that. that… Did you know?”

Seira smiled and slipped ahead.

Opening the room door for me, she looked at the condition of the room and asked.

“Once, according to the strategy we heard in advance, we are entering from a different region than Team 1, right?”

“Because it works.”

I seated the people who came along and explained the operation once again.

1. Two groups enter the south and north of the uninhabited island, respectively.

2. When the undead are pushed to one side, Joe, who has relatively less resistance, enters the center where the source is.

3. The instigated person removes the culprit and announces the news through the disk of whispers.

“This is the disc.”

I took out the palm-sized copper plate that I had saved.

The smooth surface looks like it could be used as a mirror.

“Isn’t that the way a message appears on another copper plate within a distance when you pour out your will by injecting magic?”

“okay.”

It was a magic tool that everyone had.

A magic tool devised because it is impossible to recreate lost magic enchantments like artifacts.

It is a method that works by combining magic and will.

Therefore, only easy and concise effects could be engraved on the tool.

One of the results is a disk of whispers.

“Don’t lose it. It’s an expensive magic tool.”

“oh! yes!”

Theat, who wrapped the disc with both hands like a treasure, nodded.

In the meantime, everyone’s new model was weakly shaken.

It’s a bonus that I heard the boat horn.

It seemed that the ship had sailed.

“Heulheul, look at this leader. Is it right that we get off the boat separately at the halfway point?”

Bandol asked indirectly.

“It will be from the middle. It’s because we have to avoid the undead’s surveillance.”

“If that’s the case, I wonder if this old man can offer a little help. I’ve been active as an infiltration team several times while moving around the battlefield, but this kind of operation… .”

Elderly. I’m sorry, but I know everything.

This is because numerous users have memorized the strategies derived from putting their heads together.

Even so, there was still a long way to go to the destination.

As I listened with the intention of hearing it first, the story naturally moved to Theat’s tinnitus.

“What is your nickname?”

For a hero, another name is an element that spreads honor.

However, if you think differently, this name also indicated the path he walked as a warrior.

It’s like my nickname is invincible.

So if you listen to Theat’s nickname, you can infer what kind of activity it will do in the future.

“You mean that? Um, compared to the captain, it’s not a famous nickname, so I’m a little embarrassed to say it.”

“Tell me at once. I won’t laugh at you.”

Theat, who met my gaze, pondered for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth, scratching his brown hair.

“succession. He is a warrior of succession.”
