The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

077.

“So you know what happened? After overcoming the evil warlock’s trick, there is Lokram at the place we arrived!”

“Lokram?”

“That’s right! It was bravery worthy of that title. What it means to join forces with the veterans gathered in the Traz Mountains and drive down the black magician… Keew, even thinking about it now makes my blood boil.”

“Is Lokram not hurt?”

“Can you get hurt? The disappearance case that took place in the mountains was solved coolly without a single scratch.”

“I’m glad.”

It’s a dry answer.

Still, that’s a lot of progress.

Petran, a member of the Golden Scale, gazed proudly at Leah, who nodded.

‘I was so surprised when I first met him.’

After completing the exploration of the ruins.

As scheduled, we headed to the northern battlefield.

It was because I had to help the leader and add strength to the front line.

Fortunately, they were able to put out the urgent fire, and Petran took a sweet vacation and boarded a carriage to the kingdom of magic.

I met Leah there.

It was like this after that.

Until they reach Alcardo, they divide their lives.

At first, she ignored everything, but gradually showed interest in the story related to Lokram.

Then came this relationship.

The story related to Lokram is deliciously told.

Then, Leah reacts in a negative way and shows her own interest.

‘I never thought I would be able to communicate smoothly with the warrior on the white side.’

Petran and Leah were not first acquaintances.

She didn’t seem to remember, but when she went to the academy with Lokram’s request, she joined forces several times.

At that time, she treated everyone but her party members as non-existent.

Petran belonged there.

But this time it’s different.

he was sure

‘An opportunity to connect to the White Horse Tower.’

You cannot miss this opportunity added to your golden vacation.

I had to draw her attention to a more interesting, more interesting topic of conversation.

At the end of that, if you ask for a connection with the tower lord of the White Horse Tower… .

‘I’ll be able to ask for the learning to break through this blockage.’

Petran pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t ask why you were going to the Demon Kingdom. hahahaha, I’m embarrassed to ask when everyone arrives, but is Leah-nim on her way to see the tower lord by any chance?”

“no.”

“then… .”

I wonder if I said the wrong thing for a moment at the answer without the slightest hesitation.

Still, when I summoned up the courage to ask, Leah licked her lips.

“secret.”

Well, it’s not uncommon for a hero to move after receiving orders from nobles or royalty.

It was because it was common for them to give orders as much as they gave them the authority to stand above the law.

Naturally, secrecy is the basis for such a goal.

Petran assumed that Leah was also going to Alcardo for that reason.

So I hinted at it.

“Are you going there for the purpose of managing the festival?”

“festival?”

Keep your eyes on the word festival.

Compared to the small head, the huge cone hat swayed.

Beneath it, half-hidden blind eyes are visible.

Seeing Leah’s reaction for the first time, Petran cleared his throat.

“That’s right. Am I just going to the kingdom of magic during my vacation? Won’t there be a festival commemorating the National Foundation Day in the next five days?”

“National Day… I heard.”

“You were just taking orders and going down. It will probably be noisy for a while. That’s why many nobles and celebrities will come. Those who harbor ill feelings towards them will also stick to them.”

“I don’t care as long as you don’t bother me.”

“That is the best. Perhaps several heroes will gather at the invitation of the king, are you going there?”

“no.”

“yes?”

So why is it so simple?

He looked at Leah with a curious face.

She kept her expressionless and spoke again.

“secret.”

“ah… .”

I have to say something to keep the atmosphere going.

Petran was speechless.

“Mmm, the weather is nice.”

Seira, who was enjoying the scent of spring with her eyes closed on top of the carriage, slowly leaned over.

Turn your body just before it barely touches the floor.

Hanging in front of the window like a bat, she said with twinkling eyes.

“Lokram? I don’t feel anything up front. In this condition, I think we will be able to arrive at Alcardo late in the evening.”

“hmm… .”

“It’s because of the festival that you go through the kingdom of magic, right? National Day. Lokram wanted to experience the noisy heat too, right? Well, even at the academy, when the festival was held, it wasn’t a windy day, so you couldn’t enjoy it. I understand. Take this opportunity to rest well.”

Seira nodded as if she understood.

Of course I couldn’t be bothered with that.

No matter what she says, all my senses are focused on one book.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

Two months time to move to Alcardo.

In the meantime, I read the black magic book YuRia sent me.

To Seira, who showed curiosity about the book, it is a state of study to know the black magician.

Thanks to that, I was studying without any doubt.

This is what I thought I would learn perfectly by reading it once.

‘What’s the problem?’

I definitely understood.

It’s strange that I can’t understand and remember with this mental power.

It’s been a long time since I’ve engraved a single word of the spell in my mind without making a mistake.

but can’t use

Dark magic moved along with the spell, but was cut off in the middle.

It’s like pulling a less tied string.

It was not different from the results obtained when I first tried it.

‘It’s not easy to learn.’

It wasn’t that Yuria edited the book incorrectly.

There was nothing wrong.

It was a perfect book compared to other magic books.

So, the problem of not being able to handle black magic is entirely my fault.

Since then, it has been coming.

Rereading it over and over again, I changed the formula one by one.

It is a mental power that transcends the realm of understanding.

As if tailoring a suit to fit my body, I corrected it piece by piece.

As the journey continued, the book became tattered.

Annotations written in Korean are attached so that only I can read them.

The inlay of the book was losing its adhesive power no matter how many times it was folded and unfolded in a short period of time.

“It is windy. come in.”

A cool breeze rubbed the nape of my neck.

Seira quickly entered my words and took a seat across from me.

“Again, you don’t have to burn me like this.”

“It seems like they say it every day.”

“Because I’m so sorry. A comfortable seat is better than a comfortable seat.”

“How many years have you been a professor? Maybe it’s time to enjoy something a little more comfortable.”

“You have Lokram.”

“why me.”

“Yeah… The more comfortable I am, the more uncomfortable Lokram will be.”

is it.

He silently nodded.

I have no intention of stopping her actions.

It was because they provided all sorts of conveniences and my lack of five senses throughout the entire trip.

‘What could be more comfortable than this?’

I’m not the type to refuse help.

Moreover, if it was a factor that guaranteed my safety, I was on the side of welcoming it with open arms.

“I said it would arrive soon.”

“Okay, are you done studying? They say you work harder than at the academy.”

Time in the game can be fast-forwarded.

So I don’t know how the character Lokram spent that time before being possessed.

I’m suddenly curious

“To you, how was I in class?”

“hmm… At that time, Lokram looked more at the blackboard when others read books, right?”

“is it.”

You were only looking ahead.

Considering that he focused on that, it seems that he also added his own actions.

It was a useless detail.

“Rather than that, a festival?”

“Did you not know that you made the kingdom of magic a stopover?”

“I have someone to meet.”

“ah… Well, if you’re Lokram’s personality, you wouldn’t know. I was frivolous. National Day starts in a few days. Maybe for 15 days, the kingdom will be lively in a festive mood.”

“Not very good news.”

“You don’t like noise, do you?”

“I don’t like it, I don’t like it.”

I thought as I leaned back on the backrest.

National Foundation Day lasts for 15 days.

Nobles and top lords from all over the world will surely gather to enjoy the festival.

When such delicious food is prepared, of course, how to attract flies.

‘I want to go quietly this time.’

There is nothing more to be gained in the kingdom of magic.

Even if there was a commotion, I thought I would just pass by if I didn’t get caught up in it.

That’s how I’m going to take care of Leah’s birthday and go to the south.

‘Should I ask Duke Terren while I’m here?’

My pride won’t allow me to ask Yuria for help.

Fenolino will come through the portal the moment you speak and won’t let go until you learn everything.

The safest one is Duke Terren, the owner of the White Horse Tower and Leah’s father.

If so, it was obvious that he would kindly listen to my request.

‘I have to hide the fact that it is black magic and find out how to solidify the connection between chanting and manifestation.’

It wasn’t the time to be like this.

Before arriving at the capital of the kingdom, only the core of the book had to be organized.

I opened the book again.

“Then I will go out again.”

Fearing that he would be disturbed, Seira climbed onto the carriage again.

In the carriage, which had become quiet again, only the sound of a fountain pen screeching erased the silence.

***

“Sir Lokram! If you had contacted me in advance, I would have prepared dinner. I was surprised that you came so suddenly.”

“sorry. I have something urgent to ask.”

The White Horse Tower I visited after a long time.

Duke Terren was still there.

It is said that aging is delayed for those who reach a higher level, so it must be because of that.

“Lord Lokram will consult me… I can’t stand it because I’m curious about it. come in You can think of it as my home.”

For some reason, the flowers of laughter are in full bloom than before.

For that reason, it reminded me of the underground waterway case I had solved.

‘That’s probably not it.’

There must be another reason.

As I was guessing, Teren blew the reason on her own.

“Aren’t you looking at my face too much? Are you so pissed off? ha ha ha!”

“Are you looking forward to National Day?”

“huh? no no. That’s not it. actually… ruler! I got this!”

How did you want your daughter to smile like an idiot?

What he took out and showed was a crumpled letter.

How much do you hate to send it, is it a visual like taking out something crumpled and thrown away in the trash?

Looking closely, the sender is Leah.

Is it because of what she said to Leah earlier in Gravasse, an advance city adjacent to the phantom forest?

I remembered what you said then.

‘When you can see it, when you can hear it, when you can touch it, if you can, I think it’s good to try everything.’

“Thanks to you. It was also written in the letter. Did you meet Leah in the phantom forest? I even helped out in times of danger. He heard Lord Lokram’s words and sent his regards.”

Even at the academy, Leia had cut off communication with Teren.

The father-daughter relationship was the worst.

Did I loose it, albeit weakly?

If that’s the case, you should be so happy.

“Hey, I’m sorry for showing rudeness. So, what do you ask me to ask myself?”

“This is it.”

I handed out a piece of paper written separately to him.

It is a black magic spell that has been improved so that I can use it.

Of course, the dark magic was cleverly left out.

“hmm… .”

While reading the paper, he read the contents with a calm face.

The conclusion I came to was only one word.

“Who the hell is the one who wrote this rare magic expression ceremony?”

“yes?”

“Nonsense. So it’s the expression method that I also folded early. To express magic without being bound by the circle ceremony. Concluding that it couldn’t be implemented, and then putting it aside, you solved it so perfectly!”

Suddenly, Terran’s eyes glistened with strange madness.

“Is it difficult to say? that’s fine! I will take what you said as a secret to the grave. So please tell me. I want to know who made this ridiculous idea into sense, so please… .”

It is a desperate face.

If I don’t talk, I feel like I can’t fulfill my purpose of coming here and I’m going back.

so there’s no way

No matter how great mage Teren is, he has no choice but to name someone he cannot easily meet.

“The tower of truth, the tower lord gave it to me.”

At my words, Terran shut his mouth.

It’s a little quieter now.
