The Exiled Necromancer Wants To Create a Bone Dragon

55 – Finding a saint.

I rode the Skeleton Desert Lizard and ran for a long time avoiding the breaking sky. After passing a wooden building made with skeletons for the purpose of staying for a few days, Ed and his party quickly donned equipment to pass through the sandstorm in subspace and ran beyond the sandstorm.

“We bought a lot of food too.”

“Honestly, I was thinking of staying a few more days.”

In preparation for a long stay in the spacious subspace of Hermona’s second-class necromancer license, I filled it with various items, but ended up only staying for one night. It took a shorter period of time than expected, but he obtained numerous corpses of desert lizards and grass wolves, and Ed obtained the most precious dragon bones in the world.

“But the atmosphere in Les Sand is still not good, right?”

He said, remembering what Ed had done before Glowyn left. After cutting off and attaching the arms and legs of the Hunters Guild’s hunters who quarreled with Ed, the Hunters’ Guild was reluctant to approach them for several days. People who make their living by force, so if you think that you won’t give up easily if you’ve been humiliated like that, you can think that you’ll be there.

“Honestly, won’t it be forgotten after a few years? I think I’d gnaw my teeth if a paladin from the church faced such a thing.”

Arebijou treated Ed as diligently as possible to reduce the blame, so no one was affected. However, there was no way to deal with the mental pain of the people who actually cut themselves and the pride of the Hunter Guild. My head hurt a little at the thought that other denominations would put pressure on the Church of Truth through this incident. The power of the two necromancers who were traveling together was beyond imagination, so there was little to do, but Arebijou was a paladin, and the use of brains was a little weak.

“If he attacks again, can’t we really aim for his neck this time?”

Ed spoke in a relaxed tone, and Glowyn said in a slightly puzzled voice.

“Ed, then there’s no difference between a necromancer and a terrorist, right?”

“Because you have the confidence to kill them all and survive?”

Ed’s answer left the three women speechless for a moment. Was Ed originally that radical? I had a thought, and it occurred to me that Ed could actually succeed. Of course, if they were slaughtered at random, they would be severely hurt by the power of the Punishment Church and stop the runaway, but it was hard to imagine what would happen until the rampage was stopped.

“I’m kidding. Now you have work to do, so you’d better not get involved in the hassle.”

It seemed that the three women took it more seriously than I thought, so Ed had no choice but to add a word. Of course, if there was someone who wanted the dragon’s bones in my subspace or interfered with my work to create a real dragon, I would very quietly make it with its head and body separated, but I didn’t want it to cause any more fuss.

“I’m glad I didn’t think of that when I was in the North.”

said Hermona with a slight sigh. When Ed lost his qualifications as a top necromancer in the North and was betrayed by Demona, when he saw that he left the North without a word, he cursed him and called him an asshole and drank alcohol, but if Ed had seriously tried to take revenge, there would have been a lot of bloodshed in the North. .

“is that so?”

Ed didn’t say anything after that.

It was a night with the moon and numerous stars in the sky when the four of them drove the Skeleton Desert Lizard through the sandstorm. Since he was out of the sandstorm, he took off all his equipment and put them in the subspace, while Arrebijou, who took off his equipment first and looked closely at the sandstorm, said to Ed.

“If I’m not mistaken, the sandstorm seems to be weakening?”

Other people who heard that also looked at the sandstorm, and there was a feeling that the blinding sandstorm was fading away. It seemed that the dry desert could be glimpsed beyond the noticeably weakened forces that made it seem like the sandstorm was about to stop completely.

“It seems that the powerless magic circle was also blowing sand while I retrieved the dragon heart. It seems that it used the original natural phenomenon to hide the subspace.”

“It’s a pity that we can only speculate.”

Arebijou said a little regretfully. Ed saw the man drawing a magic circle, but he couldn’t understand most of the magic circle because it was far beyond the knowledge he had, so he had no choice but to guess based on the results.

“You still don’t want to go back in, do you?”

“I think I felt the heat of the South enough.”

Arrebijou answered Ed’s question with a wry smile. Reorienting himself, Ed’s group slowly ran towards Lessand’s southern wall and took up positions near the entrance. If it was like before, I would have considered going in after talking to the hunters guarding the entrance, but the eyes of the hunters glaring at the party were unusual.

“I’ll have to rest until the door opens in the morning.”

“I think it’s okay to be homeless at least once. There’s even a tent like this, right?”

The group went in and sat down comfortably under the tent that Ed had set up to keep the heavy rock turtle he had caught the other day. While everyone tried to close their eyes with the cloak taken out of subspace, only Hermona was a little busy.

Late at night, the four guild leaders of the Hunter Guild gathered.

“Didn’t they come back too soon? The merchants said that the goods they bought would last for up to two weeks… Was that a target?”

The guild leader, slightly offended after gathering at dawn, frowned and said,

“Even if it’s not the target, the church doesn’t send paladins that quickly. So what do we do?”

“If we went to the monster paradise, those necromancers would have caught a lot of monsters. This time they didn’t turn them into zombies and bring them back, but since there are two necromancers in the subspace, there’s plenty of space, so I don’t know how many they must have caught. Like the last Heavy Rock Turtle. I don’t know if it’s there.”

When one guild leader spoke without hiding his greed, another guild leader showed interest.

“The subspace used by the necromancer… is there any way we can get it?”

“As far as I know, they say it covers the owner’s mana.”

“Whoa… that’s a pity.”

“Will a necromancer with a lot of treasure stay in Les Sand long?

“Because I have no choice but to come to Les Sand if I want to sell southern monsters at a fair price anyway.”

As the guild leaders were planning a strategy to surround Ed and his group tomorrow morning, a small spider inside the building blinked its eyes.

“As soon as we enter, they are gathered together and having a meeting to plan a strategy. I think they are planning to hold out until the paladins arrive.”

Hermona woke up the party who had been asleep for a while and said quietly.

“The Paladin is coming… I guess it’s because of Hermona. Since he’s a necromancer without a patron, he’s probably thinking of taking advantage of that.”

He roughly guessed how Arebijou had summoned the church’s paladins.

“I don’t like being popular like this. Didn’t I do anything particularly bad when I came down? Eavesdropped?”

Hermona shook her head slightly as she spoke, and Arebijou let out a small sigh.

“If you come into contact with the Truth Church, they will say that you have not committed any crime, so they will probably plan to deal with it right away for the purpose of building track records for other churches.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to get help from the saint again. Mr. Levi, as far as I know, I heard that the saint can sponsor five people. Would you accept that?”

At Ed’s words, Arebijou pondered a little, then nodded.

“If they see the situation we are in, they will accept it. Saint Maria will become an unprecedented saint who sponsors two necromancers… but we need to appeal that the value of the two of them is higher than that of others. We can also use what Ed has, right?”

Arebizu thought that the saint would listen to the request of the necromancer who possessed the dragon bone, dragon heart, and the treasure. And even if I couldn’t dispose of it at the right price, I thought that if I dispose of all the corpses of the monsters that Arebiju had accumulated over the comings and goings, dozens of them at a time, I wouldn’t have to worry about money for a while, so I would accept it for the sake of the church’s funds.

“Then I’ll have to run away. Will you be there if I go to the place where I met the saintess the other day?”

Glowin, who was quietly listening to the three of them, asked Arebijou. Arebijou thought for a moment without saying a word, then shook his head.

“I haven’t heard of your next destination, but you’re probably somewhere else. To find out…”

“It would be better to use the information guild. If it’s the saintess, she’ll reveal where she’s going… There’s a color branch in the next town, so let’s find out where the saintess is from there and go right away.”

The second Glowyn brought up the collar, she turned her head to look at Ed. Hermona knew that she was monitoring Ed as a member of the Information Guild Color, but she hadn’t told Ed yet. Ed took it differently and nodded.

“Of course. I’m fully awake. Shall we leave now?”

“Okay. It would be better to move before the hunters get ready, just wait a moment.”

Hermona, who had planted summons to gather information, put them all into subspace and then summoned the Skeleton Desert Lizard. Ed was immediately summoned and started running around Lesand’s barrier. The hunters guarding the entrance became a bit noisy, but I decided not to care because I was planning to run to the next village using a summoned beast that never got tired.
