The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

083.

I was in the middle of reviewing my own black magic ceremony at an inn.

“hmm?”

The sound of knocking on the window that I can hear in my dull hearing.

Looking around, I saw Seira smiling broadly and waving her hand.

What kind of case is it to leave the intact door and say hello there?

“Why are you trying to come in through the window?”

“Because I’ve been given enough information.”

When I open the window, it comes in flexibly.

Seira brushed the leaves off her shoulders and sat down on the bed.

“Lokram. Before you speak, can you do what I ask of you?”

“If you can do it here.”

I pulled a chair and sat across from him.

Seira nodded and began to ask for several things.

“Smile like this. Come on, clap your hands like I did. great. Hooray for the last time!”

Seira raised her arms.

It’s like smiling and holding hands.

Quite funny.

Seira couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing at the fact that the big me did the same.

“Puff! Ahahahaha! sorry. I wasn’t kidding. It was for verification.”

“know.”

I waited for her to calm down and answered.

Seira widened her eyes at my words.

“Is there another source of information besides me?”

“No, the verification you did. Isn’t it because of the doppelganger?”

“Ah, I see… .”

Did he recall the doppelganger incident that happened at the academy?

I spoke.

“Doppelgangers who do not yet possess full intelligence tend to act in the opposite way to those who imitate them.”

“That saved me from a potentially dangerous situation.”

A doppelganger hiding among the candidates gathered in the auditorium.

It was an incident in which the auditorium collapsed and almost died.

I sorted them out and destroyed the explosion magic circle they had hidden.

That verification method was just done by Seira.

“A doppelganger… That’s why you came through the window.”

“that’s right. just in case you don’t know I came secretly because I couldn’t hold on to the citizens and verify them. Fortunately, Lokram didn’t get hurt?”

“There is no way I can win.”

“It is.”

Things got a little complicated.

Where the hell did Seira get that information from?

Fortunately, he tells me that he waited.

“You know the rumors about the madman in Alcardo Kingdom, right?”

“I know if you mean the second prince.”

“It has to do with him. I saw it while walking outside. Have you ever had a completely different person? So I got suspicious and tracked it down… It has a close connection with the doppelganger.”

“Is the doppelganger pretending to be the second prince?”

It must be to set up a scarecrow and control the King of Alcardo at will.

The situation that I was worried about happened.

Still, this isn’t the worst situation.

‘A doppelganger would be better. It would have been more difficult if it was a succubus or a dream debaucher.’

Impersonation is enough to remove the culprit of impersonation.

However, it is difficult to manipulate the soul or mind itself.

This is because, like when he helped Tom before, he has to punish the culprit in the mental world.

The manpower or preparation period required for the process is considerable.

Tom, it’s a pity that the spirit king was with Windor at that time, otherwise he would have been trapped there.

‘Still, he must have awakened the flames and escaped on his own.’

I asked Seira the most important thing.

“What is the real status of the 2 princes?”

“It hasn’t been confirmed yet. But I hear you are alive.”

“heard?”

“There was someone other than me who overheard the conversations of the doppelgangers. He was the same person who dealt with black magic, but his stealth skill was at the level of a master. He was a guy who used secret techniques to move shadows freely.”

Gredrin this bastard.

In the meantime, I acted well so that I wouldn’t get caught, and then I finally came into Seira’s eyes.

“I must have missed it.”

“Because I’m not a hero specializing in suppression!”

Did I even disparage my skills as a professor?

Saira was furious.

“But I have a question. Of course, I heard that there are several factions within the Demon King’s Army, but he gave me the real information.”

“Is it so?”

I guess so.

Seira is someone I associate with.

That’s why I was afraid that a bad command would fall from my mouth, so I escaped the situation.

Unaware of such circumstances, she still seemed to be locked in doubt.

“If I can meet you next time, I will never miss it then. You should definitely catch it alive and ask why. Why did you tell the truth to the antagonist?”

“It could be a force that keeps the doppelganger group in check. That’s why I gave you information to target fisherman geography.”

“But wouldn’t it be good to know for sure?”

Seira stared at me with eyes burning with enthusiasm.

This is true.

I can’t keep Greedrin around me for a while.

“Let’s put aside the strange guy we missed for now. It is urgent to confirm whether the second prince is alive or dead.”

“As expected, Lokram intends to intervene this time as well.”

“Because that’s where it has to be.”

For me, it is a place that will give you a rare reward again.

of course you have to keep

“I like that Lokram has clear convictions. You have enough strength. Didn’t your body get better with the elixir I gave you then?”

“Don’t worry, it’s enough to keep me healthy.”

Seira still sees me as sick.

It was extremely sincere, thinking that he was forcibly continuing the journey.

Of course, I have no intention of correcting that thought.

It’s a misunderstanding that only benefits me, so I should use it comfortably.

“Let’s do this for now.”

I listed the plans in my head to Seira.

I couldn’t help but tell you what I went through in the process.

An incident involving two warriors from Adele Academy.

Until they subdued them and replaced the escort of the 2nd prince they were in charge of.

“for a moment! Aren’t too many things going on while I’m gone?”

“I didn’t know it would turn out like this either. But isn’t it okay in the end? Because that doppelganger can keep an eye on every single nonsense.”

“Mmm, that sure sounds good, but… Then, can I confirm whether the second prince is alive or dead?”

“If possible, it would be good to secure his safety.”

Seira took out her notebook and wrote down my words.

“And what?”

“For now, act like today so you don’t stand out from others. I don’t know where the doppelgänger might mix in and keep an eye on suspicious people.”

It’s an event that many people don’t know about.

do you know

If the person who said it with confidence said it to someone else, would that person be a doppelganger?

“This work is done as secretly as possible and without any gaps. While escorting, I will find a way to eradicate the root cause of this situation.”

“all right. Then how about going to a restaurant after you’re done? I know a place that does good steak.”

“Is the royal capital at the end of the western road?”

“uh? Do you know?”

“Because I’ve been there. So I want to try food from other places, is that okay?”

“Sure.”

Seira responded resolutely.

But the action was different.

As if she was so urgent, she flipped through her notebook and rubbed something lightly.

Soon after, she returned to her calm expression and smiled lightly.

“Then let’s finish it safely. Like a warrior.”

“Like a warrior… okay.”

Be like a warrior… .

It looks like a warrior, but I don’t know what it means.

Still, I accepted her words.

***

I knew the culprit.

Now I needed to know who was behind the manipulator.

It was up to Gredrin to find out.

[Doppelganger. Something that has entered a period of stability.]

‘Stabilization period.’

I read the contents of the disc of Gredrin’s whispers and closed my eyes.

Many thoughts float in my head and then subside.

They were quickly sorted out and listed.

‘If it’s something that’s worked hard to bring the doppelganger into a stable phase, it’s obvious that it’s an incubator.’

A so-called doppelganger incubator.

The breeding methods of these monsters are bizarre.

It was the gisaeng that an amorphous little creature chose to grow rapidly enough to be called the minimum intermediate level.

They are colorless and viscous.

If it is mixed with water, ordinary people will swallow it without even suspecting it.

In this way, it grows by using the host’s body as its own home.

When it is finished growing, it imitates its host and is born into the world.

The new born guy doesn’t have much intellect.

It just follows its instinct to find a damp and damp place, and then when it encounters its host with intelligence, it will eat it.

It was because it felt strange that there were more than one identical person in this world.

‘Fortunately, cultured doppelgangers are weak.’

It is about to be scattered even in a slow-flowing current.

So, the incubator must have been planted in a liquid that is not flowing.

‘A place to store liquids at festivals.’

What immediately comes to mind is a warehouse stocked with drinking water and alcohol.

The wine cellars of social gatherings enjoyed by nobles also had to be included on the list.

‘As expected, the place to keep an eye on is the wine cellar.’

Even if the citizens don’t know about it, all the nobles of Alcardo must be prevented from being replaced with doppelgangers.

Therefore, it was necessary to send a trustworthy person there who could go to the social church that only nobles could enter.

“ostrich.”

“Yes, I am ready.”

He clenched his dainty fists while wearing a cone-shaped hat.

It seemed that he was determined to escort the second prince with me.

But what about this

I don’t think I can join the escort.

“Can you go to the aristocratic society with Duke Terren?”

“Uh, why?”

Leah’s face turns red in shock.

She is the one who puts down her expressionless mask in front of me.

Leah’s red eyes were filled with tears.

I should explain this quickly.

“… So, to stop the doppelgangers’ plans, we have to freeze all the liquids stored there.”

“You mean just freezing it destroys the incubator that might be in the liquid?”

“Please.”

After listening to all the explanations calmly, Leah nodded her head coolly.

He wiped the tears from his eyes with the hem of his sleeve and bit his lip.

“It must be a good day. The Demon King’s guys ruin it every time.”

“Once this is over, things will go well.”

“really?”

“okay. therefore… .”

I blurted out the end of my words and took out the present I had prepared in advance.

“Thank you for being with us.”

draped over her shoulder.

A thin cardigan bought for the cool weather.

Leah touched the beige one and opened her mouth thinly.

It opens and closes as if thinking about what to say and then picking it up.

The conclusion I came to was simple.

“Lokram.”

width.

A small creature that came into my arms.

“thank you.”

She rubbed her face in my stomach ice and fell.

It’s a face that reminds me of what I’m missing.

He lifted Leah’s arm and hand-stitched the cardigan.

Leah turned slowly, wearing a cardigan with fluttering ends.

“suited?”

“Pretty.”

I am well aware of the profiles of my colleagues in the game.

As Leah hadn’t grown physically at all, as expected, the cardigan fit perfectly.

“Now let’s move slowly. We have to do our best in each position.”

“Like at the Arden party?”

It’s a resolution that the character I manipulated has always made.

But now I am that Lokram.

That’s why he nodded his head.

“Like an Arden party.”

At my words, Leah’s expression immediately sank.

He returned as a warrior with a white face.

She went to the palace without saying anything.

There, he will meet Duke Terren and join the social church.

Now I just had to treat the 2 princes alone.

His aide would say something when he saw Leah’s empty seat, but if he mentioned the position of a senior warrior, he would quickly become quiet.

A few minutes to wait like that.

“uh!”

A startled cry hit my ears.

It’s a familiar voice.

So I turned my head and saw Petran standing there, gaping at me.

“Ro, Lokram? Are you right?”

I’ll see him again here.

wait for a sec. Isn’t this a good situation?

The abacus bounces in my head.

One conclusion was drawn soon after.

I have a hogu to hand over the work.
