The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

094.

“ostrich!”

Pioneer city in the Northern Warfront.

Aden and the others rushed to see the happy faces as they got off the wagon.

“Did you enjoy your vacation?”

“Why are you dressed so lightly?”

The weather in the north is cold.

In order to function properly in this cold, thick clothes were essential.

But Leah was wearing only one cardigan.

She showed her cardigan at Aden and Stella’s question.

“As you can see.”

“Why?”

It was only for a moment that I tilted my head at the unknown answer.

Percy interjected, her eyes shining.

“Lokram! Right? Did you meet in Alcardo?”

Leah’s birthday was a month ago.

As a result, she stopped by the kingdom of magic and even a gift that matched her taste.

Persie’s intuition shouted that she had met Lokram.

“how is it? Are you healthy? What kind of journey have you been on by yourself that you haven’t contacted at least once? Miss Leah. please let me know Quickly!”

They roll up to their feet and reveal their anticipation.

Aden and Stella laughed at Persie’s exasperation, which had been quiet until now.

“Have you been waiting so long for news of Lokram?”

“Didn’t you all wait?”

That’s not it.

Aden shook his head without hesitation.

“Wait. I couldn’t afford to think about the news, so I acted normally.”

“ah… .”

Only then did Percy reflect on his actions.

The Aden party suffered more than anyone else in the fierce battle.

He made every effort to fill the lack of actual combat experience and to gain the qualifications to move to the indigo land instead of the purple land.

It was all because of the promise I made with him.

Lokram suddenly disappeared.

The content of one letter he left behind was to them the driving force that allowed them to endure so far.

“Three years later, the red earth. There are less than two years left.”

Percy was silent at his words.

I couldn’t control my emotions and made a fuss.

It was the result of emotions ahead of them.

Arden sees him as an ideal and Stella sees him as a good friend.

On the other hand, he… .

“Kuhm! I’ve been acting too frivolous. I’m sorry everyone.”

“no! You don’t have to apologize so much. is it a happy thing? you can be more happy Am I in a good mood?”

Aden smiled exaggeratedly.

As a result, the scar on his chin became visible, and Percy was heartbroken.

If he had been a better priest, he would have healed without scarring.

The moment I was about to sink into so much depression.

“Now, a letter from Lokram. A deal to all.”

“really?”

“Lokram wrote the letter?”

The atmosphere changed when Leah took out three letters from her bosom.

It is a letter written to each person.

They accepted the letter and held their breath in anticipation.

“Shall we go back?”

Express the words that you want to read quickly.

Everyone seemed to have the same idea and headed towards the building.

“Let’s get together and eat lunch. Let’s rest in each room for now. Leah must be tired from coming, so get some rest.”

“huh.”

There is no time to rest.

I had to go back to my room and read the letter Lokram had written.

Upon hearing Aden’s words, Persie entered the room, opened the silic wax, and read what he had written.

‘You went on a journey to become stronger. I want to stop by my hometown. You got involved in a lot of things. After all, it’s Lord Lokram.’

The reason for leaving without a word and the events that happened are described in detail.

Among them, the content that caught Percy’s eye at once was written in the second half of the letter.

[…] I met your friends in Dungrid. Captain of the Silver Choir. What a good priest. Thanks to that, I was able to stop the Dwarves’ ambitions that dreamed of resurrection.]

“Rika… .”

With the name of his only friend in his mouth, Persie hurriedly read the following.

[I entrusted Rika with a task. I can’t go into detail, but it looks like you did a good job. I made great friends.]

“I’m confident that I’ll do well, but why did Rika… .”

I understand with my head.

At that time, Rika was by Lokram’s side, and she must have been the only suitable person.

But why?

The mind didn’t seem to understand.

The letter, which I had been reading with pleasure, had given me anxiety from before.

[I’m doing well. I made a good relationship, and the journey is smooth. I have nothing more to say, so I’ll cut it short. Be well. Contact me often.]

The words “Be well” written only for you.

But that didn’t come into Percy’s eyes.

Only one dark thought was sprouting.

‘Does Lokram really need me as a party member?’

good relationship.

Rika must be there too.

For some reason, it felt like my heart was being squeezed by the fact that my best friend had a relationship with Lokram.

Percy looked up at the ceiling.

“Was the desire to monopolize the heart of admiration for him really greedy?”

It was a question to Angel, the Goddess of Engagement whom he enshrined.

Of course, no answer came back.

But Persie seemed to have already heard the answer.

“I knew that Lokram wouldn’t think of me as much as I did. Still, I always thought of him as an irreplaceable colleague.”

I tried to repay the help I received from him at the academy.

He wanted to follow the steps of a warrior who brought himself out of despair and saved everyone from fear.

At the end of such longing, I became a priest who could be with him.

Those who are qualified to help him have moved so far with the pride that they are the only ones.

But that was my own misunderstanding.

“The continent is wide and there must be many shining people. Light is attracted to light. I understand that Rika helped Lokram. and… .”

I was speechless, as if I was confessing.

I couldn’t bear to say the words behind my understanding.

The fact that he was a colleague who could be replaced at any time.

What should I do to deny that fact?

The answer was close at hand.

Persie packed up the letter and went outside.

Headed to the place where everyone gathers.

“Everyone has gathered.”

It’s not even lunchtime.

At that time, the party members who were gathering were sitting at the table.

Their expression was not as good as Percy’s.

Only Leah wasn’t there.

“For some reason, everyone seems to have similar feelings when I look at their expressions. that’s right?”

Aden laughs awkwardly.

Stella was silent, narrowing her brows.

‘It wasn’t something only I could do.’

Aden regarded Lokram as his most trusted colleague and friendly rival.

However, after reading the letter, the truth was broken.

When Callan appeared, he told him about the training method he hadn’t told himself.

Callan was a temporary colleague and good-natured rival who prevented the incident that happened to Alcardo together.

‘I have a colleague who is an alchemist… Am I not your friend?’

Stella regarded Lokram as a true friend with whom she could talk tough times.

However, Bella’s presence in the letter gave her anxiety.

A woman with outstanding talent, but not in an environment in which to blossom.

Lokram, who helped him and was helped in many ways by her, not by himself.

A true friend who knew how to ask for help in matters related to alchemy, sought help from a novice alchemist who popped out of nowhere.

“I didn’t know because he always stayed with us. No, maybe he knew about it but denied it.”

Percy does not know the circumstances of the two.

But now, he told a truth that could be relatable.

“To me, Lokram-sama is a unique existence, but I thought it might be different from Lokram-sama’s point of view.”

At her words, the two nodded involuntarily.

“Persie. stellar.”

Aden met the eyes of the two.

All three of them had a look of determination on their faces.

“You have to increase your performance.”

From Lokram’s point of view, it should be said indirectly that there is no other party member who is irreplaceable and better than this.

I still haven’t repaid half of what he gave me.

I couldn’t let it go away like this.

Of course, I said I would keep in touch, and we will meet again in the future.

Still, they were anxious.

I felt like I would face someone other than myself standing next to him when I met him again.

I couldn’t stay still because of my anxiety.

“In the meantime, I honestly raised my performance while dealing with the demon lord, but from now on I have to change my method.”

The letter contained advice to stay for another 4 months before moving on, even if you build up your performance to move on to the next zone.

Aden accepted his advice.

A performance system created by the Empire to minimize the death of warriors.

I have almost completed the minimum performance that I need to accumulate to move on to the next zone.

So Aden took the advice and devised a plan to accumulate achievements that other warrior parties could not even dare to dare.

“Let’s find the ruins.”

“Are there any clues?”

“Maybe it will take longer than the traditional method!”

Aden shook his head at the concerns of the two.

He had a clue that he captured while dealing with the Demon King’s army a while ago.

“A little below here. I got information that there is a ruin somewhere in the north. If we can find the place and excavate it properly, we will be able to build a great performance.”

“Then Lord Lokram… .”

Percy was speechless.

Still, I understood what he meant, and Arden put his clasped hands on the table.

“You will see us differently. Let’s become the best ally that can stand by Lokram’s side. Everyone still has a mountain of debt to pay, right?”

“Lea, what do you think?”

Stella called Leah, who just came out of the room.

Leah, who came closer to her words, asked with a consistent expressionless expression.

“Is it for Lokram?”

It’s there for him.

But it was a little different.

“It’s for Aden’s party.”

For the Aden party that Lokram belongs to.

Leah nodded her head without a second thought.

“Then let’s do it. Archaeological Survey.”

Only then does the atmosphere lighten up.

New goals and enthusiasm ignited a fire in their hearts.

“good! Then let’s have lunch and start preparing for the investigation.”

***

I hope the children received the letter well.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

It was simply a letter sent to ask regards.

They wrote down what they experienced according to their occupational group.

I pictured in my head something to laugh or be happy about after seeing it.

Maybe he will send a young reply asking to contact him often.

Except for Leah, I had been out of contact for over a year.

“What do you think?”

“nothing.”

“Ah, it’s written all over your face? Is it because you doubt the quality of the guide?”

Not at all.

Silence answered Seira’s question.

Salivating at that response, she walked towards Elten with quick steps.

‘Gile Elten. A historian as a guide… .’

He has an appearance similar to that of an elf.

As a result, he was attacked by slave hunters as well as many misunderstandings.

‘I managed to survive.’

There is no power to be felt.

That meant that there were other means to protect oneself.

It hasn’t been revealed yet, but I’m looking at it as an artifact.

If so, it must be a class that unlocks magic only when used.

It made sense that I couldn’t catch it even with my mental strength.

“Mr. Elten said he was ready. What about Lokram?”

“I am waiting. Then let’s go.”

got up from the seat

Outside, a sharp sand gale still rages.

I still had to get out.

Because Elten said it.

‘It’s right to look for the desert dawn at the same weather as now. I’m sure the rage in the sky in the riddle means the current sandstorm.’

In that respect, we said we were lucky.

‘A storm like this only happens once in hundreds of years, right? On a day like this when you don’t know if you’ll ever find the city, you’re lucky to be with me.’

It’s luck… .

Was she able to win this opportunity through sheer luck?

I saw no

The information I know interlocks to deny her statement.

A fragment of the demon king that should be located further south of here, in Gelea Volcano.

Traces of two warlocks traveling south to help him.

At this point, my guess may be true.

‘A huge sandstorm in the desert area following the terror attack on Alcardo. Is this a natural phenomenon?’

In my eyes, it seems to be the work of a black magician trying to block the access of outsiders who want to come to the volcano?

‘It seems like they’re trying to get something by finding the dawn of the desert.’

If that’s the case, this journey isn’t just about dealing with natural disasters.

I stared at the two approaching with my whole body wrapped tightly.

Elten, who only had light green eyes, opened his magic tool and asked.

“Then shall we depart?”

“Lead ahead.”

With a magic tool to block the wind.

We crossed huge sand dunes to find the ancient city.
