The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

065.

He captured Yuria and received various information from Gredrin.

There was one thing I had to be concerned about right away about the incident related to the Aden party.

‘Blessed day.’

It is the biggest event in the Holy Kingdom to select an agent to spread the word of the goddess.

The opening day is unknown, and it is unknown who will be selected.

However, it was clear that the person who was chosen by Angel, the goddess of inclusiveness declared as the state religion of the kingdom, was an event so large that he received stigma.

‘Because I can get the power of the stigma without any effort or cost.’

On that day, numerous priests will gather in the kingdom to be chosen.

At the same time, the Demon King’s army and the Dark Protestants will gather to prevent the birth of a new agent.

‘It looks like a small war will happen.’

It is a blessed day that has not always been windy due to the setting.

I turned my head toward the door, expecting it to be fine this time as well.

Because someone was knocking on the door.

“Hero! The tower lord told me to call him.”

“Let’s go now.”

“yes!”

Currently, I have entered the Tower of Truth.

Surprisingly, it was easy to calm Fenolino’s anger.

‘Hmm, this is the magic core containing the soul of the dwarf who was waiting for the right time to take over that human body, right?’

‘That’s right.’

She has a personality that is frantic to interpret what she is interested in.

So if you throw something that makes you curious, it’s easy to get angry.

‘I’ve entered the Tower, but what I need to do right now is to absorb artifacts.’

The demon lord’s artifact absorption method that Yuria taught me.

For that, there were a few things that had to be prepared in advance.

I asked how you know so much detail, and it’s because of Dantalion.

‘That bastard is full of greed. You said you would get the demon lord’s artifact after taking over my body, so you hammered the knowledge into my head, didn’t you?’

That was all that YuRia knew how to do.

So there are many things to solve in the Tower of Truth.

‘First of all, relieve Fenolino’s interest in me, and take advantage of it.’

The gains will soon lead to my growth.

I reached the top of the tower and knocked on her door.

“That’s me.”

“Come in.”

The door opened on its own.

Fenolino was engrossed in researching the magic power core I gave him.

Wearing magnifying glasses, he looks around.

It seems like I’m just looking at it from the side, but my mental power caught it clearly.

‘It’s complicated.’

Thousands of magical power lines rising from her standard were analyzing the magical core.

He must be tearing apart the circuit inside, syllable by syllable.

Even so, the way you look at me.

‘As expected, the continent’s strongest wizard.’

Even though the roles are divided, the concentration is not disturbed at all.

What is the mental strength stat?

I couldn’t see it, so I had no choice but to guess that it was SS grade.

“Do you know why I called you?”

“Isn’t it because you’re curious about my mental strength?”

He answered while recalling their first meeting at the Heroes Meeting.

Fenolino waved his hand, remaining expressionless.

stillness flow.

A magical power line boasting perfect concealment placed a soft sofa and refreshments in front of me.

“Sit down.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“Windor. What happened to that little boy?”

“I am fine. Because there was no threat to the hero there.”

“Oh, sorry. I expected to lose at least one arm.”

While sipping tea, he casually makes bloody noises.

She put the teacup down and stared at me.

“Can you see it?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm, that’s interesting too. The old man was the only one who could see through my flow of stillness.”

Are you talking about Amore?

The protector of Londran and an immortal hero.

Considered the strongest among the five heroes, we learned about his discernment at the Hero Meeting.

It’s because I noticed what Brat was hiding, after me and Fenolino.

“I hate procrastination more than anyone. There is nothing more inefficient in learning than absorbing rubbish other than the core and gist.”

“I agree.”

“Whoops. We have a lot in common.”

No, it’s better to just get to the point.

I swallowed my whispers and listened.

She brought out things familiar to me.

“Looking into your eyes, you seem to know.”

“Because I’ve used it before.”

Three glasses and marbles.

It was a tool previously used to determine Bella’s talent.

“It’s an improved version of the one used by the warrior candidates. With this, I want to find out how your mighty mental powers have accumulated, is that possible?”

“If I accept Mr. Fenolino’s offer, what will I receive?”

“You want to receive as much as you give?”

“From my point of view, I came here at the cost of time and money.”

If he didn’t come, sooner or later he would be harassing me.

Ugh, that’s a specification.

“You are daring. I don’t hate it because I have that kind of talent. OK, what do you want?”

“I want to strengthen the structure of artifacts and magic, increase the efficiency of magic, and a few ingredients.”

At my sharp words, Fenolino opened his mouth slightly.

I must have never dreamed that such a request would come out of my mouth, which I had always regarded as a warrior.

So I added one more word.

“It’s all for the colleagues you’ll meet later.”

“Oh, did you? I’ve heard rumors Is there an extremely selfless hero? that’s you Somehow, I felt the request was strange.”

“It’s overrated.”

“It is not a compliment. Sometimes you have to know how to take care of yourself. A choice like that will one day drive you to your own ruin.”

“You speak as if you have experienced it.”

I asked out of pure curiosity.

Even in the setting book, not much has been revealed about the setting of the hero.

Only the core was written, but nothing about their past was written.

“Are you telling me to reveal the lady’s bare face? Excuse me, Lord Lokram.”

you’re a lady

I was silent.

Even if he had a neat impression in his early 20s, Fenolino’s age was 58 years old this year.

“First of all, I don’t think it will be worthwhile to meet all your demands. So how about doing this?”

She offered a compromise.

For each thing I asked for, I decided to answer one of my questions.

It was a proposal that I didn’t have to worry about as it seemed like it would be enough to just satisfy the curiosity aroused by me.

“I see. Then, can you strengthen the artifact with this verification?”

“It must have been obtained from an underground city in Dungrid.”

“That’s right.”

“Okay, then shall we begin the examination?”

As if familiar with Fenolino’s words, he used a goblet and marbles.

Divine power flows out of the hands covered with magical water.

It is the magic reversal that was used before coming.

Looking at the power of golden light with curious eyes, she said in unison when a change occurred in the hand holding the bead.

“There is a response.”

“You said it was an improvement. What has changed?”

“The magic power, aura, and divine power of the inspector. It is to determine how all powers have developed by color. With this, you can date when your mighty mental powers were formed. As a bonus, you will also know the level.”

Not any carbon dating method.

I looked at the marble, feeling as if my body had turned into a fossil.

It shows various colors, but soon becomes quiet.

Transparency without any color.

Fenolino’s forehead gathered in such a reaction.

“hmm? It can’t be like this.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Obviously, the magic power adjustment is perfect. But maybe this… .”

Fenolino looked at me with a face that said he had reached a conclusion.

“Sir Lokram. No, who are you?”

There was a hint of deep respect in her tone.

***

Fenolino was confused.

He pondered over and over whether what he saw was really true or not.

Fortunately, they did not ask for a retest.

Her attitude, which had changed like before, soon led to a polite send-off.

So I was back in my current room.

“what.”

muttered quietly.

My head can’t keep up with the sequence of events.

I can’t quite figure out why his attitude and tone have changed.

I wouldn’t have done that if black magic had been discovered.

I’m sure he would have tried to kill me on the spot.

I am worried though.

‘What if my true identity was exposed once in a while, and what if I noticed that my mental power was amazing?’

It may have been sent back to induce distraction.

Like a great wizard, he must be looking for an opportunity to kill me perfectly, not an all-out war.

‘Did I go too far?’

Still, you should be prepared for this.

It is sewage that admits to being a warlock and loses Chuck with Fenolino.

Turning her into an enemy is tantamount to dealing with the Empire.

‘If it’s necessary, I’ll show you a show of strength with divine power.’

If only that would dispel her doubts.

While preparing various countermeasures, I touched the letter that I felt in my arms.

The thickness is substantial.

It wasn’t just Cain Academy’s principal, Cloud Adantino.

Others sent by Leah, Bella, and Brat were also thickly caught.

‘Let’s read it soon.’

This is the letter I received recently after arriving at the Tower of Truth.

First, I looked at what Cloud had sent.

‘The chase is continuing.’

As nearly a year has passed, the traces have faded.

So, Cloud told me where the trail was broken.

‘A total of two places.’

Both are on the way south.

The reason I left the academy, a position that ostensibly coincided with the path I was taking to solve the problems I had with my tribe.

‘Is it a consideration for me?’

It’s been a long time since I told the academy.

The reason for going to the tribal village was vague, but I guess I’ll have to go see it soon.

‘I wonder if it’ll be okay if I go and stay for a bit and then come out.’

It was only set as a character background, and I never dreamed that I would visit the hometown where Lokram was born and raised.

I closed the letter and read Leah’s.

‘The delivery of the elixir materials was completed safely, and the equipment was also given to my colleagues.’

Leah didn’t say I bought it.

My meeting with her was kept strictly confidential from my colleagues.

Fortunately, Leah did just that.

Instead, he left a bold request at the end.

[May 17th is my birthday. Last birthday just passed by, but take care of it this time. I’ll wait for you at my house Let’s go to the black market together. I want to see you soon.]

‘Is it May?’

If you want to go to the south, you have to go through the kingdom of magic anyway.

If it were her house, it would be the White Horse Tower where Duke Terren is located.

I told him to see me at the battlefield, but I didn’t know that he would get impatient and ask for it.

Well, I can listen to this order.

It was something I could do well enough on the way if I coordinated the time.

‘The brat was sent sooner than expected.’

He examined the corpse of the dark lord Morgus.

There is a fragment of the demon king behind him being able to prepare for the devil’s resurrection.

What it really was, he investigated closely.

They said they would send a letter when the results came out, but this seems to be the case.

‘I wonder if there’s something about the interest.’

I can’t help but see the timing.

I tore off the sealing wax and took out the letter.

I took a quick look and it’s okay.

‘Did you find out?’

First of all, I read the result of examining Morgus’ corpse.

[I found out. It looks like he’s holed up in the south. It has been confirmed that the spirit of the dead Morgus has flowed south. You must have signed a soul contract with him. Ah, don’t worry, since Morgus’s soul was only directed and destroyed.]

Phew, isn’t the dark lord resurrected and plotting revenge?

I let out a sigh of relief and continued reading.

[The location is estimated here. The margin of error is around 80km in all directions. If you don’t intend to go alone, why don’t you wait? I will finish my work quickly and join you.]

I don’t intend to wait.

I have no intention of dealing with fragments right now.

However, the location that Brat told me took a while.

I checked the location with what the principal sent.

“It overlaps.”

Two warlocks powerful enough to create arcane magic.

The position of the Demon King’s fragment overlaps strangely with their movement path.

Is this really a coincidence?

If they joined forces, going out on a warlock hunt alone would be suicidal.

It seemed that more thorough preparation was needed.

‘I’ll go to the south after I’ve prepared a way to win.’

You can’t avoid going anyway.

It was because the secret of the hero to be obtained next was also in the south.

‘hmm.’

I read Brat’s letter that follows.

[I found a book with information about Gwangik, but it was severely damaged. The material seems to have been written around the same time as the disappearance of the 5 lords. There are many intentions to cover up. Even the Pope did not know why it was damaged. Something stinks.]

‘I thoroughly hid myself.’

I couldn’t help but see it that way.

Kwang-ik prepared something while hiding himself.

One of them is the Dwarf’s resurrection plan.

‘How to know about him… .’

Attention was paid to the timing of the writing of the data.

The disappearance of the 5 monarchs.

I knew of a place where I could get related materials.

‘Gelea Volcanic Library.’

Another reason to go to Gelea Volcano, one of the 5 forbidden regions, has arisen.

As the number of things to do increased, it seemed necessary to solve them one by one.

I read the last part of the letter.

[Oh, I received your letter well. You make a faithful saint like me speak lies. I’ll take the kid from the Holy Realm with me and send him back. You can look forward to it.]

What are you expecting?

I closed the letter and gently closed my eyes.

Going to the south via the Magic Kingdom is certain.

Now was the time to plan how to prepare.

‘Let’s see what Bella wrote… .’

Finally, I tried to open the letter from Bella.

But I was stopped by a knock on the door.

It must have been a call from Fenolino, who had sorted out his thoughts.

“I’ll be leaving right away, so you can go.”

So she said to return the wizard who was on her errand.

However, the answer that came back was unexpected.

“May I come in?”

Because Fenolino asked politely like a shy girl.
