The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

061.

Dwarven City Incident.

What was considered an ordinary historical site was actually an underground city where dwarves were looking for an opportunity to steal human bodies, and Sinseongjin there was operated by tomb robbers.

Even if it was a little late, Dawngrid, who was above the city, would have been caught up in it.

The woman who drew water from the well, the children who used the sandy beach as a playground, and the body of the head of the household who worked hard for his family at work became the dwarf’s charge.

However, Shin Seong-jin’s runaway stopped.

“It is thanks to you.”

thud.

A rather thick report hit the desk.

Windor stared at me sitting across from him with his legs crossed.

“Is that all you really know? It already happened when we arrived, and the grave robbers were literally ordinary grave robbers?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, the situation must have been very fortunate.”

what i will say

Because that happened the moment I went in to secure the artifact.

Well, Yuria was suppressing Shin Seong-jin’s activation.

If I had said that, it would have cleared some of Windor’s doubts.

but i don’t want to say

Yuria’s existence must never be revealed in this case.

‘I have to prevent the tail from getting longer.’

How to eventually get stepped on if the tail is long.

In the first place, it was right to cover it up to the extent that it could not be dismissed as a secret.

“I don’t have any questions about that either, but… What were the results of the investigation?”

“As I just said, well, it’s really only this. I wanted to hear what happened there from your point of view.”

“Then, the case will end like this.”

The ringleaders who awakened Shin Seong-jin, the grave robbers, are dead.

Now that I can’t blame anyone.

Dawngrid, which passed through a great crisis, was currently enjoying a great boom.

“Is 30% really enough? Even if I can’t, I can yield up to 35%.”

I shook my head at Windor’s question.

The percentage he was talking about was the ownership of the underground city.

“It was Tom who found it. Even if you prevented the case, it would be right to give some of the compensation to Tom for bringing me there.”

“Um, that shouldn’t be necessary… .”

“What do you mean?”

“no. You know there’s a banquet today, right? See you then.”

Windor waved his hand and the doorway opened by itself.

I bowed my head at the obvious celebration.

He was like a hero who acted as he pleased.

“Then I’ll see you tonight.”

“Are you going to see Tom?”

“Can I say my regards?”

“It’s okay, it’s also masculine. Go see.”

His ring finger caught my eye as he waved his hand.

three rings.

After all, he was the hero of the wind.

‘What happened to Yuria?’

‘I’m still out of my mind. stupid b*tch. You don’t even know how honored your lord’s interest is. Shall I wake you up?’

Leaving Windor’s office, he sent his will to Alteon.

The guy still suggested an extreme option.

I tried to buy a whip because I didn’t wake up the other day.

After spraying cold salt water on it, if you hit it a few times, they say it’s a direct hit or something.

‘How many times have I told you to think only of peaceful ways?’

‘sorry. This is the only thing I learned under the Dark Lord… .’

‘For now, I’m still monitoring.’

‘I understand, lord.’

YuRia hid it well in the hideout, so you can meet her before she comes in contact with the black child’s clan.

I headed to Tom’s room.

A week has passed since the incident, but Tom shows no signs of waking up.

According to Rika, it would happen within today.

My mind has stabilized, and my body has completed all of its recovery.

‘It was a time when I was able to organize various problems in my head.’

I calmly recalled the things I had organized.

‘Once the ownership of the underground city.’

Dungrid is also a city belonging to the Empire.

Of course, according to imperial law, ownership of historic sites and rich resource deposits went to the first discoverer.

If the territory belongs to such an area, it becomes a little complicated, but Windor was the one who organized it neatly.

‘Oh my head hurts! What are so many things to consider? Let’s just cut it up and share it!’

The loyal advice of the aides attached to him was ignored with that one word.

After that, the result is what you see.

I had 30% of all resources in the underground city.

‘I really don’t have to struggle with money with this.’

It is probably one of the best on this continent in terms of personal assets.

The potential of the underground city was enormous.

An iron golem driven by large and small mana cores.

A library containing advanced architectural styles and mineral smelting methods, and more.

There were also various rare ores, so even if I built a medium-sized estate, the money that would overflow was in my hands.

‘Because I don’t have anything to do with money right now. I’ll have to put it down for now.’

Still, good is good.

Abundant capital would become a great weapon in the future.

‘I’ve also secured some artifacts.’

Tom did a great job in his role.

The number of artifacts captured in the Soul Workshop is five.

With this, I was able to reduce my worries about artifacts that would make up for my shortcomings.

‘Finally a profit.’

I also thought about this.

I sent a letter to explain the circumstances to Brat, who is staying at the Vatican, so I will match it appropriately.

profit.

“ah! Did you come to see Windor-sama?”

A room reached through a huge hallway.

When I opened the door, Rika greeted me.

The silver hair reflected in the sunlight coming through the window glistened.

Her big, round eyes focused only on me.

After exiting the underground city.

The way he looked at me was always like that.

Should I say that it contains something beyond envy and longing?

It’s embarrassing what happened.

I shook my hand and pulled a chair and sat down.

“How is it?”

“It’s the same. It’s pretty stable, so I don’t think I need to nurse anymore.”

“Are you okay?”

At my question, she smiled lightly.

It’s a silent affirmation, but the shaking of the corners of the eyes didn’t seem to be able to control all the emotions.

“It’s something I’ve been waiting for. Big things and small things happen when someone needs something. Something really big happened this time.”

“What did you do with the body?”

“The cremation is complete, and preparations for escort to the hometown have been completed. After today’s banquet, I will go tomorrow.”

At the point where the expedition was scattered, great damage was predicted.

The members fell alone and met the Iron Golem.

Their minds were suppressed and they gave their bodies to the dwarves, and they had to kill the dwarves who occupied the bodies of their colleagues who had been laughing and chatting until yesterday.

‘It’s bittersweet just hearing it.’

How would Rika feel after seeing and coping with it?

Even without asking, he seemed heartbroken.

Still, I have no intention of rejecting the offer.

“Rika.”

“yes?”

When he is called quietly, he is startled.

She sat with a teacup in front of me.

“Is there anything else you want to ask for?”

“I have something to tell you, can I move?”

“Are you alone?”

Yeah, that’s not what I’m talking about here.

Just in case Tom wakes up and listens.

When it comes to secrets, the fewer people listening, the better.

“uh… It’s possible, but it’s a bit embarrassing because it’s so sudden. Are you not saying anything?”

say nothing

It’s up to interpretation, but I’m not saying anything.

Instead of answering, I shook my head.

Swallowing in vain, Rika fanned her white face and opened her mouth.

“Now, wait a minute. Besides taking care of Tom, I have other things to do… Let’s see… .”

Rika took out a notebook from within her arms.

I turn over the back page of the extension to see if I wrote down the schedule.

Soon, he closes the notebook and stares at me.

There was an unknown determination on his face.

“Is this what I need?”

“okay.”

“Unconditionally?”

“It can’t be without you.”

“Heeep!”

With trembling hands, he lifted the cup and quenched his thirst.

Soon, Rika seemed to have made up her mind.

After catching my breath several times, I opened my mouth.

“all right. Then I’ll wait on the terrace at the back door of the banquet hall.”

As if taking my offer seriously, she nodded slowly.

Are you guessing too?

She is the one who thinks of me as the heretic inquisitor of the white religion.

When he said let’s meet alone, he must have thought that he had something to say about the underground city.

They seem to have thought that the proposal I was going to make could become a serious issue that could entangle the White Church and the Holy Kingdom.

Seeing that he was so nervous, I must have guessed right.

How hard did he make his face turn red and his breathing rough?

‘If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to treat Brat myself.’

I have no intention of forcing it.

However, it was only for the sake of efficiency that she was going to entrust the feathers related to the light wing to her.

‘The Silver Choir will be able to safely deliver the goods to the White Church’s Vatican. In the meantime, I can go to the next destination, the Tower of Truth.’

Is there a profession that can be as reliable as a priest in this era?

It is also Rika, who is close friends with Percy.

Rika, who had been friends with her until now, was a trustworthy clergyman.

“Ugh… .”

“uh? Tom? Are you awake?”

It was Tom who broke the atmosphere of the strangely silent room.

I toss and turn in bed because I feel uncomfortable.

Rika, who was looking at him with concern, put on a bewildered expression at my restraint.

“why… .”

I gave the answer because I did not know English.

“I’m doing that because the bed is so comfortable.”

“ah… .”

The child has a sleeping habit optimized for homelessness.

It was so embarrassing to sleep on the floor even in the guild building.

Soon after, Tom woke up.

He is relieved that we are safe and sincerely saddened by the news of the deaths of the expedition members.

Tom jumped up at the stream of accidents that arrived last.

“Your sister! Is Rico okay?”

“I’m resting in Windor-sama’s castle like you, so take care of yourself. We can meet at the banquet.”

“Ha, I’m glad… . What a relief… . But as an older brother, I have no pretext to see my younger sister.”

A delighted Tom suddenly drooped his shoulders.

There is nothing to be sad about now, so why is this?

He earned great wealth by exploring underground cities.

Is that all? Since he met Giyeon, who is not a Giyeon, and awakened to the flames, the S-class mercenary position is a matter of course.

Now, in a true sense, it was only his turn to become the head of the western branch of the Lordan Guild.

“Artifact… I couldn’t save it.”

“Mmm.”

I was speechless.

It reminded me of when I was writing a proposal for a site exploration with Tom.

At that time, Tom suggested an adjustment to me.

‘If there is an artifact that helps my sister to walk, I’d like to own it.’

There was not an inch of retreat from that word.

No matter how much help they give, the country firmly shines in their eyes.

At that time, I readily accepted the mediation proposal.

But Tom couldn’t get an artifact for Rico.

Because of that, Tom felt sorry for his brother.

“Don’t be depressed. Do you think your sister will scold you for not being able to find one?”

“that’s right. Wouldn’t you be very happy just to have your brother come back safely?”

“Maybe?”

Tom let out a deep breath at Rika’s nod.

“… all right. So, can I see my younger brother at the banquet?”

“Once you wake up, it will be difficult, but prepare yourself first. You can’t go to a banquet like that, can you?”

“yes? um, that’s right But what if I don’t have any clothes?”

“The maids who live here must have prepared everything. If you look in your closet, you will find a nice tuxedo.”

Rika’s gaze turned towards me.

His silent look asked if he had prepared the clothes to wear at the banquet.

I shrugged.

“Do priests wear priestly clothes at banquets?”

“Unlike Baek Kyo-wan, the divine law is relaxed in the divine kingdom? So I always carry a change of clothes to decorate me.”

She boasts of dresses from her own luxury brand.

It was a feast of words that I could not understand anyway, so I stood up from my seat.

“Then see you at the banquet hall.”

“Uh, are you going to leave without showing me your clothes? I already told you everything. If there is something coming, there must be something going. You’re there. A sub-space hidden in the air.”

Are you talking about inventory?

there must be

It was a tuxedo that Duke Terren sent me when I had an audience with the king in the Kingdom of Darkness the other day.

“Now, is it okay?”

So I took it out and showed it without hesitation.

The black clothes that were made to fit my body still had a subtle charm.

“Heeep!”

Rika looked at it and hiccupped again.

Looking at me and the tuxedo alternately, I also resume hand fanning.

Seeing the tuxedo, he seemed to have imagined something important to share with me at the banquet hall.
