The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

064.

A few months before arriving at the Tower of Truth.

I prepared to leave Dungrid.

“Can I not go?”

Now, Rico is used to sleeping with me like hugging a teddy bear.

The child, standing upright without anyone’s support, cried at the news of my departure.

“Rico, Locke has to go now.”

“You can go later! five nights. No, you can wait ten more nights before you go!”

“Hmm, that sounds like a bit difficult.”

“I don’t know! no! I hate it!”

Reasonable persuasion did not work for Riko, a child of a stormy temper.

Tom was the only one who could calm him down.

“Come on, brother will make sure to convince Locke to stay longer, so Rico should go and sleep. Understand?”

“really?”

“of course. Come on, promise.”

“If you can’t keep it, buy me 100 things I like.”

Tom’s shoulders trembled at the exorbitant demand.

In the past, he would have refused, but Tom is now a rich man.

“hahahaha, of course.”

Tom happily accepted the promise and went upstairs with Rico.

Soon, Tom, who had brought Rico to bed, sat across from me.

“You want to go right away?”

“Because I have work to do.”

“Um… .”

He rummaged through his pockets with an embarrassing smile.

I don’t know what will come of that.

Tom wondered if he had anything else to give me.

But the answer that came out is the same.

“sorry. It makes me want to give you this building as well.”

“Do you think I will get it?”

“If it were my brother, of course I wouldn’t accept it. Will we be able to meet again?”

“If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet, if not, we’ll end here.”

“If that’s the case… We will definitely meet again.”

how?

swallowed the question

Judging by the determined expression on Tom’s face, it seems that he has a plan.

I guess I’ll find out later what it is.

If I listened to it now, I thought I would be less impressed.

“Then go. I don’t need to see you off.”

“uh… Thank you. From the time I met Locke until now.”

“You say you’ll meet again, but you talk as if this is the last time.”

“Oh, this! that is… I just do it because I want to say it. yes… .”

After showing a thin smile following Tom, who laughed awkwardly.

I waved my hand and left the building.

I don’t know when we’ll meet again, but I said goodbye to Tom for the time being.

‘Is there a contact book nearby?’

Even if it’s not on the map, there is a time we spent together.

I instinctively felt it.

The contact that couldn’t reach the underground city was attached again.

‘What is the reason?’

It is a contact that always sticks together.

Judging from the evidence so far, he was convinced that the contact was Seira.

‘A high level of concealment, the appearance of being caught on the map because I couldn’t keep my mind together when Alteon appeared, and the coy actions to make me feel comfortable.’

Come to think of it, there are so many.

The liaison’s subtle consideration was as subtle as it was noticeable.

If I had to pick out the most memorable things recently, there is something that comes to mind right away.

‘He kept making reservations for restaurants I frequent.’

At first I thought it was Tom.

When I asked, I felt the answer was no.

All warlords point to her.

The four of us made a reservation at a restaurant as if we wanted to eat together sometimes.

‘Shall I leave it as it is for now?’

If you seek help, you have an excuse to ask for it at any time.

In a moment of crisis, if you call her name, she will appear at once, just like her nickname, Nalparam.

Let’s organize what to do right now.

‘Yuria.’

I arrived at the outskirts of Dungrid.

As it is a remote place, it is full of abandoned houses and poor people.

Digging deeper there revealed an entrance to an underground aqueduct through which wastewater flowed.

‘Oh, the smell.’

Follow the road that goes down diagonally.

On the way, I changed direction due to the alien magic I felt.

The end of the magical power that became my milestone on the mixed roads.

“Ah, you are here.”

Gredrin, the leader of the Black Child clan, greeted me.

Alteon and Yuria stood next to him.

“Benefactor!”

“Lady, be polite to your lord. Do you want to die?”

Didn’t I tell Yuria her name?

Well, I never told you.

“Altheon, be quiet.”

“sorry. b*tch, shut up Your mercy is only once.”

“No, just shut up.”

“… … .”

Leaving Alteon with a sad expression behind.

I approached the prostrate Gredrin.

“I don’t know if this is our first meeting in months. Lowe.”

“Five months to be exact.”

“Don’t worry, this time, we’ve prevented all surveillance with the fairy tale mirror.”

“Now that you know everything, stand up. I have something to say to you.”

“I don’t know what to do.”

After trembling once, he led me to the hiding place.

It’s been a while since he arrived here.

The place provided was clean.

It is also large enough for Alteon to take care of Yuria here midway.

“You managed to find a place like this.”

“For me, it’s easier than chasing Lowe’s shadow.”

“Stop saying that.”

“sorry.”

I pulled out a chair that stood out and sat down.

Gredrin, who knelt down in front of me, only slightly raised her head.

“You must have seen the woman the knight who followed me saved.”

“Yes, the heir to Dantalion. When I asked where it was, I would have thought it was hiding in the basement of this city. What are you going to do with her?”

“I plan to recruit. That’s why I called you.”

“Are you okay? From what I have heard, I know that she has a strong resentment towards serving the Demon King.”

did you know there

Gredrin’s intelligence could not be ignored.

The distance to explain is thus reduced.

All that remains is notification, not persuasion.

“Take Yuria from the Black Child clan.”

“yes?”

Gredrin made a puzzled expression.

When I put my eyebrows together, I hurriedly manage my expression.

But I’ve already seen it.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“Oh, no. How can I be dissatisfied with Mr. Lowe’s will?”

“Looking at your expression just now, it looked like that.”

“Not at all. Flying bugs, bugs fly in so stop… .”

I made it this far because of the cold sweat.

You have to set the discipline in advance.

That’s because the guys from the demon king’s army listen well.

“Don’t worry, we’ve already solved the issue of YuRia’s capture.”

“Is that so?”

“You said you had a crush on the Demon King? do not worry. At least you are loyal to me.”

“It is more difficult to change the mind of a warlock than to manipulate the king of a country. But still, you embraced me. Also, Mr. Rowe… !”

Gredrin’s eyes deepened with respect.

Either that or not, I continued.

“Give her a safe place and a lab. Don’t spare your support for dark magic research.”

He is a friendly black magician.

Still, because of what happened at the academy, the existence of Lokram has reigned as the number one target to be avoided among warlocks.

In the midst of that, how can you not be happy that you have obtained the opportunity to learn black magic through human resources rather than books.

“I will follow your orders.”

Gredrin lowered her head as if she didn’t have to think about it.

With this, YuRia’s safety was secured for the time being.

Afterwards, he treated Yuria alone.

As soon as she met me, she cried.

“As soon as I woke up, I was surprised. A knight that doesn’t look like a knight doesn’t even communicate, and he can’t even see the benefactor.”

“Are you calm?”

“yes. It’s late, but thanks for saving me.”

“I only helped because I had something to receive from you.”

“mmm, you said you wanted to learn black magic, right?”

He picks up the gist of the conversation in the underground city.

I pulled out the contract I had recently purchased on the Dungrid Black Market.

This contract binds each other’s magical powers.

If one side tried to destroy it, the mana inside it had the power to explode.

“Then make a deal. We keep secrets from each other.”

I signed a contract not to reveal YuRia’s location, and she had to remain silent about everything about me.

“The consequences of breaking the law are brutal.”

“Take it. Forced or not, you have to accept it from the moment you walk this road.”

“Um, I can’t help it.”

Yuria signed the contract as if it had nothing to do with it.

As a result, she had no choice but to keep quiet about my black magic level.

I became silent about Yuria’s position, which I had no intention of talking about in the first place.

“Then can I tell you right away? Or later?”

“Can I learn now?”

“uh… First of all, you need to know Lowe’s level, right? I don’t think I have anything to tell you.”

She is the one who knows that I stopped the Undercity incident.

That’s why I seemed to think that my black magic had reached its peak.

Then you should break that thought first.

“Poetry, is it true?”

“It is what you see.”

“Nonsense. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an asymmetrical level. How can you know all the arcane magic that others can’t learn at all, but don’t know any basic black magic?”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“Uhm, that’s not it. It seems like it would be difficult to teach right now.”

“The reason is?”

Yuria brushed her hair.

A look of bewilderment was evident on her face.

“You have to teach from the very basics. This is all you need to be prepared for. I will compile a new book by combining the information I have in my head with the books I have. Would you like to try self-studying with it?”

Yuria did not despair at my level.

It seemed that he had seen the possibility of learning various arcane magics.

That’s why I’m not saying that I’ll help you study, but I’m going to come up with an alternative to self-study.

Of course I accepted the offer.

“How long will it take to compile?”

“I don’t feel well. I’ll send it to you as soon as it’s finished, so can you wait?”

I turned around without regret at YuRia’s words.

“Then, we can send it through Gredrin as soon as it is completed. let’s go I have nothing to do here anymore.”

“Where are you going?”

I opened the door and pointed to Gredrin, who was waiting for us.

“You will follow him, and I will act alone.”

“Uh, um… I don’t like it, but it is. what.”

Gredrin raised one eyebrow as if he had heard YuRia’s muttering.

“what?”

“Gredrin, don’t fight with Yuria and have a last conversation.”

“All right.”

Now is the time to hear the information he has known.

Anyway, it was a situation where I made a contract with Yuria.

It doesn’t matter if she listens or not, so there’s nothing to hold back.

I listened to Gredrin’s report in silence.

“The Aden party is currently intermittently engaged in skirmishes with the Demon King’s Army on the front of the Purple Zone.”

“Any other peculiarities?”

“Each person is preparing for growth separately. First of all, Aden, the party leader, tried to grow through battle. Percy was currently in constant contact with the Holy Kingdom.”

“Are you trying to set a day of blessing?”

“It seems so. As soon as I find out the date, I will post it immediately.”

Besides that, Leah and Stella were locked in their rooms to craft new magic and potions.

“Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the undefeated hero are still unknown. Since Cain Academy thoroughly concealed his whereabouts… sorry.”

I nodded my head at Gredrin’s rather detailed report.

“Are the ruins?”

“that is… Sorry about that too. But if you wait a little longer, I will bring you good news.”

Well, it’s strange when a ruin is discovered.

I have no intention of blaming.

It was a great harvest just to visit two places while wandering around for almost a year.

“Then look at this.”

This is my main point.

Why did you call Gredrin?

He opened his inventory and showed him the demon king’s artifact obtained from Balik, the Archbishop of the Dark Faith Church.

“This, this… !”

Gredrin immediately recognized the tattoo on his hand.

The demon lord’s artifact, Tanma’s Book.

For some reason, it couldn’t absorb this, which automatically assisted it so that it could fire black magic at terrifying speed.

“Every time I try to absorb it, it repulses what I have. Do you know why?”

Gredrin stretched out her trembling hand, but couldn’t bear to touch the artifact.

It is a reaction as if something holy had been placed in front of them.

So, the anticipation cooled down.

“I don’t know.”

“Heuk!”

It must have been fatal that the head of Black A, who competes with intelligence, was not able to help three times in a row.

Well, that wasn’t the only reason I showed this.

“The demon lord’s artifact showed a reaction.”

“What kind of small grain is that?”

He quickly hardened his expression and showed interest.

I explained things related to The Art in an appropriate way.

“… It’s the dark magic that secretly inhibits his growth. Artifact reacted there. So put a watch on him. Maybe you can step on the debris.”

“A low-ranking warrior from a northern village. The Hero of Succession, Theat… .”

Gredrin, who was familiar with the information, nodded.

“I will report anything unusual as it arises.”

“okay.”

After saying that, while collecting the artifacts, YuRia, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“excuse me… .”

I quietly raise my hand to join our conversation.

When I gestured to her to tell me, she pointed to Tanma’s book.

“I know how to absorb, can you tell me?”

… Lucky for you.
