The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

092.

Knowing her life, I was well aware of the immaturity of human relationships.

That’s why I’m not good at expressing emotions.

‘I expected it.’

I didn’t know that it would happen so quickly.

I didn’t bother.

It was a situation I had pictured in my head ever since I received the letter.

If you think about it, there is only one answer.

It’s not me that she really likes.

To be precise, it was just the character I was manipulating called Lokram.

Both of them are subjective, but if you think about how they approached them, the feelings they have for each other cannot be the same.

‘Because I filled Leia’s immaturity and helped her to clear the game.’

On the other hand, Leah was attracted to my actions and changed.

He had a crush on Lokram itself, which was no different from presenting a new milestone in his life.

This incident greatly changed my attitude toward Leah and the other Aden parties.

It’s a situation where I’m determined to help them even from afar without hesitating anymore.

In other words, I was finally at the starting line of my feelings for the Aden Party.

‘It seems that Leah has already arrived at her destination.’

Confessing her heart and restless, she comes into view.

How worried and anxious she must have been to say something precious, that was me.

Know.

That colossal courage deserves to be blessed.

It is a noble confession that should not be taken with feelings of pity.

So, I also had to be brave.

I have to express myself around the starting line, asking for patience so that I can catch up.

“My dear colleague. That’s about it for now.”

If I tried to explain it in detail, it would only lead to suspicion.

So that’s what I brought out.

It’s a colleague now, but it’s a relationship that might change for the better in the future.

“So can you give me some time?”

“hour?”

The blurry red gaze returns vividly.

At my words, I squeezed the hand that was holding the apron.

Mouth twitching as if waiting for the words to follow.

I stared calmly and looked at the horizon that swallowed the sun.

“I’m saying this because you know my situation well, but this is not the time to focus on other things.”

“Sorry. I was in a hurry. Lokram isn’t around, and it seems like a lot of other connections are forming in distant places… I guess that’s why I was anxious.”

“Is it so?”

What’s there to be anxious about?

In the first place, it was a day when I came here and was only in a hurry to survive.

that’s how it is even now

There is no time to turn a blind eye to reason.

It would be nice to live without knowing anything, but I am the one who knows a lot about this world.

Even if I couldn’t stop it, I had to find a way to live.

It was a journey for that.

Maybe in the future if I can afford it a little bit.

You might be interested in that.

Still, if I also have a crush, it will probably be someone I know well.

“There is no need to be anxious. Because a relationship is just a relationship.”

“really?”

“When have I ever lied?”

“no… doesn’t exist.”

“Then believe me. Unfold your face.”

Only then does Leah get her emotions under control.

I’m still immature, so I have to speak properly to understand.

A simple example was the look of uneasiness even though the expression was straight.

“I didn’t refuse.”

“uh?”

“When I healed and joined the Aden party again. I don’t know when it will be, but can I give you a proper answer then?”

Leah nodded as she spoke clearly.

enough time.

She murmured quietly and stood next to me.

I savored the silence that finally became comfortable.

“It’s getting dark.”

“Because the sun has set.”

“Is the scenery here nice even in the morning?”

“Then, come back tomorrow. With a different mindset than now.”

“Is that okay?”

“I have to move anyway. I have to stop by the palace and meet Duke Terren.”

“Are you leaving after that?”

“I guess so.”

momentary silence.

The tip of the conical hat shakes in the breeze.

Leah suddenly stuck her head in, as if she had something curious.

“When I was beaten up at a social church, my doppelganger turned into me and went to see Lokram.”

“It was.”

“Did you think I was dead then?”

Why are you asking this question?

When I thought about it, I remembered the conversation I had with Leah in the past in Gravasse before parting ways.

‘Don’t die on the way.’

‘What if I die?’

‘I can make you angry like you’re angry.’

It’s cute if you remember the conversation at that time and ask.

I shrugged my shoulders and answered honestly.

“Yeah, so I got angry like you back then.”

“It’s worth the anticipation.”

“You didn’t do it on purpose, did you?”

“That’s not right.”

It’s either or it’s not.

Still, I think that expression was only for me, so it was good rather than bad.

***

A boring speech ensues.

The audience gathered at the king’s command was filled with nobles.

Those who gathered to participate in the social church suddenly became an audience to praise the solvers of this case.

It is unlikely that complaints will come out.

If it weren’t for me and my colleagues standing here, they would have already been replaced by doppelgangers.

“I am embarrassed!”

Petran bowed her head deeply.

The magician of the golden balance who met me and spooned into my plans and made the biggest gains.

Other than that, Callan and Raella were also lucky.

It was because he received a large amount of money for following my words once and punishing the black magician of the cult.

It’s a bonus that his reputation as a warrior has risen.

“hehehehe!”

The corners of their mouths were about to touch their ears, and they hurriedly looked at me.

You’ve already seen it, kids.

“It’s time to call on the three protagonists who did a great job in stopping this incident. Come up comfortably.”

I approached the king who called me.

The loud applause that followed was deafening to the deaf ears.

“quiet.”

The king looked tired from up close.

Well, it’s not an easy task to strengthen security nationwide.

“Is this the second time since that day that I see you again like this?”

“That’s right.”

“If not… Even if you add more in return to the same offer, the answer will still be the same as back then.”

“sorry.”

“Heh heh, it’s nothing to be sorry about. Opening the treasure house is a profitable business for me.”

“Thank you for being kind to Your Majesty.”

“You’ve grown to the point of being bold. nice It was like that then, but I’ll tell you in advance so I can get another one from the treasury.”

I greeted you with the utmost courtesy.

After that, things went smoothly.

Accompanied by Seira and Leah, he followed the knight commander.

Unlike before, he was friendly.

“Thanks to that, the security of the kingdom has become more solid.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“hahahaha, how you packaged an undeniable fact as an exaggeration. As expected, the warrior is humble. Ah, we have arrived.”

After disabling all of the vault’s security magic, he led us inside.

“You can choose comfortably here.”

At his words, he entered the interior.

It is still a place full of rare treasures.

From accessories that cannot be obtained even with money, to weapons enchanted with magic or witchcraft.

“Lokram.”

When there are only three left, two women call me at the same time.

It was easy to guess why.

“Not required.”

“You haven’t said anything yet?”

“Aren’t you trying to give me a reward?”

At this point, the two pairs of shoulders twitched as if they were in agreement.

The two avoided my gaze and hurriedly began to explain why.

“I don’t have anything to gain here anyway. I’m used to the equipment now, and more than anything, what can I do with the splendid armor for the escort?”

“I’m fine too. The things here don’t help me raise my level.”

“hmm.”

If that’s the case, I don’t have much to gain.

Like the key to the ruins I got earlier, I can’t see any clues leading to the ruins.

There is no elixir or elixir whether it was the last thing that existed then.

If that’s the case, what you’re going to get is a luxury item or an artifact… .

‘hmm?’

My gaze stayed in the corner.

Unlike the things that shine in the treasure chest, a place where faded things are concentrated.

As you approach it, the two of them chase after you.

Seira poked her head over my shoulder and recognized the object.

“They are fully functional artifacts. Still, looking at what you put here, it seems like they are symbolic items, right?”

“It’s just things that can’t be reused as a charging stone.”

Both say only what is right.

At first glance, they are artifacts that have lost their function.

But is it?

‘Before, I couldn’t pay attention because of the things I could see immediately, but now I see that there are many treasures.’

You can’t see it with their eyes, but it’s definitely caught in my eyes.

A magic circuit nestled in an artifact.

The magical power that gently flows through the circuit is scattered in the middle.

It happened because the circuit was damaged here and there.

‘That’s why it’s junk that doesn’t even work.’

Still, each and every one of them was an artifact that greatly helped the founding of the Kingdom of Darkness.

If you can handle it, it will be of great help.

‘If only I knew how to fix it.’

I reached out.

This is more correct than other accessories or weapons.

It was a much more meaningful artifact than an object that has no use value for now or in the future.

If you can’t figure out how to fix it, you can use it as a funding or negotiation tool along the way.

“Are you going to choose that?”

“This is enough.”

Leaving the shocked two behind, he grabbed a small dagger and leggings.

If you can use it, it will be a greater power than the artifacts you have obtained so far.

“Did you guys choose?”

“Are you really going to say no?”

“Lokram. We are really fine.”

I’m saying that I’m really good too.

If this place was full of things to gain, I would have asked.

“Quickly choose. Because today’s schedule is tight. wait outside.”

At this rate, the conversation would go round and round, so I avoided my seat.

There were sad eyes directed at me, but I ignored them.

“Have you already made your choice?”

“I was satisfied with this.”

I showed the things I had brought to the knight commander who was waiting outside.

He recognized the artifact and agreed.

“Dante’s wedge and Marcas’ barrier. It was the weapon of two heroes who once laid the foundation for our kingdom. but… .”

he blurted out

He knows he can’t use it anymore.

“I’m sorry to say this, but if you intend to fix it and use it, you’d better bring something else. It is an established theory that there is no one in this world who can fix a broken artifact unless it is a dragon that has disappeared into legend.”

it’s a dragon

After collaborating with Cain, the first warrior, to fight against the demon king, they disappeared.

As he said, you’ll have to find a dragon to fix this.

And I know where they are hiding.

‘I can’t go because there’s no way to go right now.’

You may have to cross one of the five forbidden areas, and it is unknown whether you will be able to pass through the ‘entrance’.

So, it was necessary to set the direction of repair in the non-dragon direction.

“You never know. Maybe I’ll meet the elves who thought they were gone and fix them with their knowledge.”

“hahahaha, it seems you have no intention of changing.”

“I like this.”

He said while capturing the artifact.

Then I thought about it.

‘Elf… .’

The dwarves also prepared an excuse to live.

From the human point of view, it was malicious, so it was blocked, but didn’t the elves prepare for survival?

Beast races may also have survived somewhere out of reach of human eyes.

No one will ever know.

So if you find an elf, you should seek help.

‘If they’re really extinct, I’ll have to go find the dragons.’

I turned to greet the two coming out of the treasure room.

He said it was okay and gave in like that.

Seira and Leia each had a telescope and a wand in their hands.

The two that met my eyes shyly hid what they brought out behind their backs.
