The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

Chapter 62

062.

For Tom, who was born and raised in a quiet village, the city was a different world.

What’s more, the underground city of the dwarves?

I was surprised. However, it was a place where I couldn’t feel relaxed, so I was less impressed than when I first set foot in Dungrid.

But now, the impressions of walking around the castle of the lord have captured everything he has felt so far.

it’s just amazing

The long hallway with a red carpet conveys its softness and softness even with shoes on.

Just looking at the high arched ceiling is heartbreaking.

How about the ornaments on the left and right?

I didn’t know what kind of statue it was because I hadn’t studied much, but the regular array of tiles embroidered on the wall created exquisite beauty.

“and… .”

“Wipe your mouth. You are now on your way to becoming the protagonist who saved Dungrid.”

“Oh, sorry. lock… brother.”

“Kuhm.”

I’m trying to put a name that hasn’t stuck to my mouth yet.

Locke cleared his throat as if it was awkward even from the listener’s point of view.

Tom, who scratched his cheek awkwardly, swallowed dry saliva at the front door of the banquet hall when he arrived.

“Do I really deserve to be here?”

“Who is the mercenary guild leader who recruited me into the expedition?”

I was speechless at Locke’s words.

Tom awkwardly passed the front door, opened by Dungrid’s privates.

At the banquet hall that arrived, Tom had no choice but to be shocked again.

“Wow… .”

The beautiful melody of the trio begins to be faintly heard.

Unlike the always noisy tavern, ladies and gentlemen who quietly laugh and talk and drink.

A clear sound resonates every time a toast is shared in a glass cup rather than a dull wooden cup.

everything was amazing

that’s why it’s awkward

I didn’t know what to do here.

“Spread your shoulders and smile lightly. If someone approaches, introduce yourself. That will do.”

Locke advised, as if he had read his mind.

Every single word is clearly engraved in my mind.

Tom nodded.

I’ve never had a loss by following his words.

“yes!”

“Lower your voice. This is not the tavern you know.”

“oh. sorry.”

It’s different from the place where I always had to share my voice.

In the atmosphere as if he were playing on the clouds, Tom cautiously moved his steps.

One thing to do right now.

‘Where is Rico?’

He said we’d see him at the banquet hall.

However, the only thing that stood out were noble people whom I had never seen before and delicious food.

“ah! Maybe your name is Tom… Is that right?”

“Well, what about it?”

That wasn’t the only thing blocking Rico’s search.

the gentleman speaks

With his first words, curious faces gathered around Tom one by one.

“I heard rumors through the lord! Lordran’s western branch chief who protected Dawngrid from the dwarves of the underground city! I’ve been waiting for you to come, and you’re finally here!”

I couldn’t react to holding hands right away.

They were genuinely delighted.

He thanked himself for it.

‘What is this feeling?’

It’s not a bad feeling.

Rather, pride wells up.

Before he knew it, Tom was dealing with their thanks in a humble manner.

“ah! I am Deltomern, an upper state, supplying copper from Dungrid’s Tulleton Mine to the Empire.”

“The general manager in charge of the city’s water source, Beolson, is coming.”

“me too… .”

What started after the thank you was a self-appeal to build a bridge with a competent guild leader named Tom.

Tom understood their changing momentum.

It’s all about eating and living.

Just because you’re a mercenary doesn’t mean you don’t do business.

“Ha ha, yes. thank you.”

I got to know them through formal greetings.

I also received a note with the address written on it, so I was able to contact you by letter.

In an instant, he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with many of the leading actors in the city.

Tom stared blankly at the notes that gradually piled up in his hands.

Their thank-yous are happy and grateful.

In any case, thanks to the expedition he organized, Dawngrid escaped from the crisis.

However, the real protagonist hidden behind it was not himself.

Upon realizing that fact, Locke caught my eye.

He is stylishly dressed in a tuxedo tailored to his big muscles.

He has a thick line, and the hair that he has grown haphazardly reminds the viewer of a lion’s mane.

Standing still and drinking wine, I felt a different elegance from myself.

‘It’s not something I did… .’

It was all Locke’s credit.

Even though he was the main figure in preventing this incident, he did not even show it outwardly.

Does Locke have no greed?

It’s an opportunity to rise to a key position.

Unlike me, who has things to protect, he must be a man who has the power to settle anywhere freely by himself.

But why are you giving everything to me?

“Have you finished talking?”

“uh?”

It was right in front of him.

It was the result of walking blankly toward Locke.

Two half-opened eyes are full of composure.

He was also a man I wanted to be like.

“Yeah, well done. Competent people took an interest in me, so I didn’t know what to do.”

“It’s a valuable connection. In the future, the branch you will be in charge of will greatly grow.”

“By the way, where did Rika go? I haven’t seen you since afternoon.”

“It will come a little later.”

“is that so… .”

Suddenly, there were only two.

This was the first time since the relationship between the client and the mercenary in Glaven.

Is that why?

Tom did not hesitate to ask the questions he always wanted to ask Locke.

“How can I be like my older brother?”

The first was revenge.

Next was the responsibility of supporting my younger sister.

After that, I struggled with the pressure and misery of reality.

Satisfaction is the feeling that has been reached in the end.

The vengeance was diluted, and the position of branch manager made Tom feel complacent.

Then I met Locke again.

That meeting changed everything.

“What do you mean?”

“It is literally. He is calm in everything, always sets up perfect alternatives, and above all, he is strong.”

He remembered what had happened in the underground city.

The iron golem, which hadn’t even been scratched by the aura, was sliced in one blow, and they even left a mark to avoid the pitfalls of the soul workshop that they wouldn’t even have noticed.

I wonder who his helper was for all that hard work, but he didn’t bother to ask.

Locke is a wanderer who seems to have a lot to hide. No, because he was like the Heretic Inquisitor.

Still, he is a trustworthy older brother.

More than anything, didn’t it help me a lot to get my mind together when I was lost in trauma?

“It’s okay if you don’t tell me. I just asked because I was genuinely curious.”

“Then why are you asking that?”

“uh… .”

He gave a puzzled look at his question.

Why do you want to be like Locke?

for your sister? Want to lead your guild better?

Otherwise… .

“A demon that is no different from your trauma. Do you want to punish the real guy?”

Real demons, not cut from nightmares.

Is it possible to cut him at the current level?

I can say for sure.

impossible.

Being able to cut down a mid-level demon was possible because it was a nightmare.

But if Locke guides you, if you can pull out the sword that you finally realized, the sword that cuts down the demons even stronger.

“I am… !”

rattle!

His confident voice was drowned out by the sound of a loud door.

Everyone’s heads naturally turn toward it.

Opposite the entrance to the banquet hall, the door to the stairs leading to the second floor was open.

“The lord of Dungrid and the five heroes of the great Londran Empire! Windor Dan Arkhan is entering!”

Everyone bowed at the shouts of the knights standing on the left and right of the gate.

but only one.

Tom couldn’t get down on one knee.

“ah… .”

It’s all about making stupid noises.

It was such a shock.

I couldn’t believe the sight in front of me.

how sad

Even if they did, I felt that I was lacking, and my heart ached because I couldn’t give you the most important thing.

It just means that I felt sorry for not being able to do that when my peers were playing around.

Still, the younger sister, who said she was okay, was stealing tears alone at night.

Riko was smiling brightly.

“brother!”

I was walking with the most beautiful thing in the world.

Alone, without anyone’s help, he was coming towards himself.

“… Black.”

My brain went blank.

Only my brother was visible.

Wearing something that appears to be an artifact on her left leg affected by black flames, she takes immature steps toward herself.

I want to hug you.

It was just that thought for now.

“Huh!”

“wow. the clothes are really nice He looks like a prince from a fairy tale!”

Tears came out without me knowing.

I wet the shoulder of Riko’s dress, which I hugged with a bright smile.

Still can’t shake it

I can’t believe this reality right now.

I’m afraid that the moment I let go of my younger brother, I’ll wake up from my dream.

I filled my eyes with Riko, who was standing alone in front of me.

“Brother, are you crying?”

“Happy… west.”

“If you’re happy, you should smile! follow me this person!”

One front tooth, recently pulled out, reveals a dainty hole.

Still, Rico smiled brightly.

Tom laughs as well.

It was a funny expression, laughing while crying.

“Ask me again.”

Standing next to Tom, Locke made eye contact with Tom with a thin smile on his face.

“Why do you want to be like me?”

Tom was finally able to fully understand.

His sword was not obtained to achieve revenge by cutting down the demons.

“It is to protect my sister.”

A voice mixed with crying, but firm.

Locke nodded.

“Then I have nothing to say.”

He stroked Rico’s and Tom’s heads at the same time.

“Because you were already doing well.”

At that word, Tom finally sobbed.

Rico patted him on the back to appease him.

Leaving behind the touching sibling reunion.

I approached Windor, who leaned against the bar table and tilted his wine glass.

“how is it? My surprise gift.”

“Did you get it from the underground city?”

“The technology is quite good. There are quite a few physical aid magic tools for those who suffered disasters in war or the mining industry.”

“You know that Rico’s left leg is bad.”

“It’s a bribe for the future.”

“You mean a bribe?”

I don’t know what you’re thinking.

He has such a striking personality, but what is the reason?

Fortunately, I was able to hear it right away.

“Tom, I’m going to try raising him.”

“yes?”

I was so curious that I contacted him.

The answer that came back was unexpected.

It is not uncommon for a hero to have an heir.

This is because Fenolino, the owner of the Tower of Truth, and Amor, the guardian of the Empire and Rondran, also inherited the position of previous heroes.

But Windows is different.

As an up-and-coming hero, he became one of the five pillars of the Empire.

Will he have an heir?

“The blue will be huge.”

“I have no intention of revealing it right now. I’ll watch it for now. If you think it’s useful, then you should disclose it. Leave it as you wish for now.”

Windor sipped his wine and grinned.

“I liked it. They seem to have similar backgrounds to me.”

Otherwise, it must be Tom who has passed a great inner test.

But from my point of view, it’s absurd.

It was obvious that Tom would be dumbfounded when he heard the story.

‘Still, good is good.’

I have no intention of drying it.

They said that they seized the opportunity to strengthen their relationship with me, but even if they pushed me hard, it was not enough.

‘Above all, Tom has just realized the struggle. I needed someone to lead, and it just worked out.’

After sharing a toast with Windor, I bowed my head.

“Then I look forward to meeting Tom next time.”

“You can look forward to it. But still don’t you want to talk? The way I entered the mental world that I couldn’t penetrate.”

“sorry.”

“Tsk, what a boring guy. Well, it doesn’t matter. There’s no reason to ask, it’s just a state of understanding. Because he’s like this, Brat must have taken him.”

“I will take it as a compliment. then.”

Now I have to go to the back door terrace.

After saying hello, I turned around.

Windor asked me on the back of my head.

“Oh, are you coming to the quarterly heroes meeting?”

Going to that thin ice place again?

I don’t even want to die

So I politely declined.

“I don’t know what to do with Mr. Windor’s invitation, but I think it will be difficult because I have a lot of work to do afterwards.”

“okay. Go see.”

He waved his hand as if his excitement had cooled.

In case he changed his mind, he quickly left the place.

Soon after arriving at Rika’s place, I quietly opened the door.

“I thought you would come a little earlier, but are you late?”

“There were people to see.”

I naturally stood next to her.

It was only then that Rika, whom I saw, was wearing a long white dress.

She boldly exposed her back with an off-shoulder top.

It was clean and pure.

Behind such a well-groomed image, there was even a sensation of enchantment.

It was like looking at a pure white rose.

“how is it? I decorated it.”

“It’s pretty.”

“hehehe, do you know how to compliment me? I thought Mr. Locke would always be reticent.”

“Because it’s an honest impression.”

“Certainly, it is better to hear than words spoken. So, what do you have to say to me?”

It’s more straightforward than you think.

Judging by the reddened face, it seemed that he borrowed a drunken spell.

She bit her lower lip slightly as if prepared for what she would hear in the future, and she was a prepared woman.

“Can you recognize this?”

I opened my inventory and took out a pure white feather.

It was obtained after processing Gruban Goldanbier.

“This, this can’t be… .”

Her eyes were dazzled with ecstasy.

find out at once

After all, is it something that is widely known to religious people?

“Me, me, are you confessing to me?”

… It’s not. It’s never like that.

what is he saying

“Mr. Locke. Are you a more sensitive man than you think? In our holy kingdom, how do you know that giving white feathers as a gift from the opposite s*x means expressing love in return… .”

Cover your mouth and reach out gracefully.

First of all, it seemed that she needed to correct her thoughts that had fallen into her own delusions.

“Actually, I also felt sorry for Mr. Locke taking risks on my behalf… .”

It makes a lot of noise and tries to take the feather.

There’s no way.

I retrieved the feather.

“uh?”

“It’s not like that.”

“yes?”

“It’s not like that.”

If you correct it firmly, you will sound stupid.

I continued to speak more firmly to correct my misunderstanding.

“I got it after destroying the Iron Golem that was blocking us. Take a good look. Can’t you feel the weak divine power?”

It shakes its head like a broken robot.

After judging that he felt divine power, he revealed the reason for calling her separately.

“You must know that I am the Heretic Inquisitor of the White Church. I’d like you to take this to the Holy See and request an investigation. I have contacted you in advance, so contacting them will be easy.”

“The Holy See… inspection… .”

“Yes, if you ask me to send a letter to Cain Academy, they will understand the facts you have found out.”

“my… .”

“Are you accepting it? Then, I can give you this much as the request price… .”

“why me!”

baek! Pointy heels dug into my shins.

Um, I think this cracked the bone.

No, I think it’s really cracked.

ah… , it hurts terribly.

‘My lord? The woman wakes up. What should I do? Do you stun again until the lord comes?’

‘Keep an eye out. Can’t you see the current situation?’

‘… … .’
