Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 4. Bin Harz National Cemetery and the corpse of the Auror

Master

Angela, who suddenly twisted her whole body and screamed, shouted.

“What the hell have you done!”

After saying that, Angela rolled her eyes and collapsed.

It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t even react.

“… … Hey are you okay?”

I tried talking to him just in case, but it was quiet as if he had passed out.

In this unknown situation, I took another look at the characteristics I had chosen.

[Evolution]

―Unique

―Evolves a target with sufficient experience from low to high level

―Can be used on all non-hostile targets A

characteristic that strengthens and supplements the characteristics and weaknesses of a Necromancer and has excellent overall versatility.

Most of the unique attributes are general-purpose, so there was no harm in choosing which one to choose, but there was no better attribute than this in the situation I was in.

Of course, it wasn’t long before I got it, so I didn’t know how to use it correctly or how much better it would be if I evolved it.

It seems that the oath of the family that Angela uttered earlier met the second condition.

As I looked at Angela, who unintentionally became the first victim of my trait, another phrase popped up.

[Angela Lucifer]

[Evolving… … .]

[Remaining time: 167 hours 41 minutes 03 seconds]

A time close to a week was entered.

Originally, I wondered if it would take this long, but I was grateful for the time.

I had to be away for about a day because of Karon’s work.

In the meantime, I don’t know what this guy might say to Charon.

I’d rather be in a stunned state like this, and those worries would go away.

When I checked the time, it was late at night.

I hurriedly tidied up, checked on Angela one last time, and returned to my dorm room.

Upon returning to my room, I immediately checked my schedule.

‘If only… … .’

I had to leave right now to go to the Binharz National Cemetery in time for Karon.

The problem is that he may be truant for classes tomorrow afternoon.

‘It’s a matter of living or dying, so is the lecture that important?’

Actually it was important.

Also very much.

As you know, Adrias’s family is in a state of ruin and debt.

In this stressful life, his father, the previous count, passed away, so he was selected as the recipient of a scholarship.

Thanks to that, he was in a position to receive a scholarship that barely covered his tuition.

If there is an unexcused absence, even this will disappear.

My head was complicated, but my body was already ready to go out.

Just in case, I took the extra camouflage suit I had prepared and dragged it along in my carrier.

‘Let’s fix it as soon as possible. If I’m lucky, I might be back by tomorrow afternoon.’

After plotting the route in my head, I immediately started taking action.

It was late at night outside, so no one was passing by.

However, the Mana Railway Station near the academy, which operates 24 hours a day, was brightly lit.

“ah.”

When I pulled out my wallet to pay for the ticket, it was barely enough to buy a round-trip ticket.

‘Charon, you bastard dog. At least I don’t have to pay for errands.’

After cursing heartily inwardly, I finally got on the Mana Injury Train after paying for the ticket.

Come to think of it, Karon made me work at his own expense and never paid me.

In the meantime, Adrias seemed to think that it was only natural for him to pay that kind of money since he was learning black magic for free, but I was different.

‘I’ll have to take a look at it once I come back this time. I don’t even have money to eat this.’

I stared blankly at the lunch boxes sold on the train and licked my lips.

* * *

I took a short break during the train’s travel time and read the book I brought with me.

Of course, the only books I had borrowed from the library the day before.

‘I don’t understand what kind of floating clouds you’re talking about.’

But I was forced to read it.

Even so, I had to keep my head awake.

You should get used to even words and terms.

After about 6 hours, we arrived at Heartbell Station, where the National Cemetery is located.

As soon as I got off, I walked straight toward the graveyard.

Actually, I wanted to ride in a carriage near the station, but I had no money.

‘This damn money. I have to deal with the money first.’

I never really worried about money in the game.

I just made money by using my talents to suit the character’s characteristics, but now I have neither characteristics nor talents, so I had to find another way.

Fortunately, I played the game taking notes of all sorts of things, and even a guy like Adrias, who had no special features, had enough ways.

‘The problem is that I don’t even have initial funding.’

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t help but be a pitiful character.

But what can I do? now this is me

The way back was urgent, so I ran as hard as I could to the graveyard, dragging my carrier.

And within 5 minutes, I felt my breath fill up to the tip of my chin.

‘I have to exercise regularly.’

Physical strength is essential to survive.

However, I was worried that someone might not be a wizard, so my stamina was low.

No, if you’re going to do this, you have a magic talent.

After nearly an hour of desperate struggle, I was able to finally reach the entrance to the cemetery.

The sky was already dawning.

“I’m from Janice’s. The third grandson.”

“Did you bring flowers?”

“I brought 13 blue sky butterfly flowers.”

“okay. Go in.”

After talking with the gatekeeper and the set questions and answers, I entered.

Although the society of black magicians hid in the shadows, their power itself was by no means small.

This bin Hartz National Cemetery was also one of the places already bought by the black magicians.

When I passed through the gate and went inside, I saw hundreds of tombstones and a gravekeeper in the open air.

I went straight to the gravekeeper at work.

“Mr. Piman.”

“Is it Charon’s errand? You’re here early.”

“yes. You said it was Beydon’s tomb.”

“okay. have already prepared It will be over there.”

As if I had been informed in advance, I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a coffin that hadn’t been placed yet.

Or what was enshrined and taken out.

“thank you.”

Then I saw the tomb where the gravekeeper was enshrining.

‘Tombstone of Life Hill? Life Hill Life Hill… … .’

I think I’ve seen it somewhere, but I can’t remember.

Thinking it wouldn’t matter too much, I moved toward Vaden’s coffin.

When the coffin was opened, the corpse of a knight who had recently died was neatly laid out.

Physiologically, it must have been objectionable, but I picked up the corpse casually and moved it.

‘It’s filthy heavy.’

It was the second incident where the need for exercise was desperately felt.

I put the body in the carrier I brought with me.

The carrier was for transporting the corpse handed over by Charon, so it had a small space expansion magic on it, so it was enough for about one.

As I straightened my back with the corpse in place, I suddenly realized the identity of the corpse that the tombkeeper was working on.

‘Life Hill! Nickel Life Heal!’

In fact, it was one of the Easter eggs in the game that wasn’t a big deal.

The contents are as follows.

A man who longs for an Aura Master just trains his sword for decades from a certain moment.

The story of a man who cut ties with the secular world and practiced only swords every single day, but eventually became an Aura Master, but died of old age the moment he became an Aura Master.

It was a strange story of an ordinary man with no talent for swordsman who eventually became a master with the talent of hard work and died.

Masters who come to this world are literally monsters other than human beings.

It’s unbelievable that he would die the moment he became such a monster.

So it’s an Easter egg.

And this easter egg is all about the story of Kaderasik in the end.

But why did he bother to make an Easter egg like this?

‘It means that he was a real Auror Master. If it wasn’t so, why would I have to go this far to make an Easter egg?’

However, I didn’t pay much attention to it because it was a useless Easter egg.

That’s why even I, who played the game meticulously, couldn’t immediately recall it.

‘But that Nickel Life Heal?’

My heart was pounding.

Nickel Lifeheal ended his life without being officially announced that he had become an Auror Master.

It’s just a rumor from the village where he lived.

To be honest, considering the image of an Auror Master, it was a death I could never imagine.

That’s why no one probably knows the value of that corpse right now.

‘The ability of summoned creatures revived by necromancy is proportional to their ability in life. If you make something like Death Knight out of it… … .’

Of course, the highest level of summons such as Death Knight could not even make Charon.

However, it was self-evident that if you made something like a skeleton out of that, the level would far exceed that of a normal skeleton.

The graveyard keeper who had just put the Lifehill coffin into the pit looked at me, wiping the sweat from his brow.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, I got it.”

“okay. Say hello to Karon.”

“Yes, Mr. Piman.”

I tried to pass it by so naturally, so I threw it indirectly.

“Oh, by any chance.”

“huh? What?”

“I want to make one of my summons soon, but can’t I be assigned a corpse or something?”

“hmm. How old are you?”

“It is now in its third year by the number of years.”

“under! You still have a lot of greed for the new chick.”

“is that so? haha.”

When I pretended to smile awkwardly, he wiped the sweat from his brow once more and said,

“I know how you feel, but first get permission from Charon. That is the fastest way.”

“Is that right? All right. Thanks for the advice.”

… … Did you know you could say

I have already found the body of the Auror Master with my own eyes, and the body that no one even suspects is the Auror Master, but I can’t go on like this.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision.

I said to Piman as I took out the ring I was wearing.

“Mr. Piman.”

“Why again? What are you doing?”

“Can I use this ring to take the corpse here?”

Piman’s eyes widened when he saw the ring I held out.

But in an instant, he hid his emotions and pretended nothing was wrong.

“As I said before, you can’t do it without Charon’s permission. If he catches me giving you the body, I’ll be in an awkward position.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have the confidence to manage it without being caught.”

“Hmm. okay? It’s a bit difficult though… … .”

“please. Mr. Payman. I only have this ring now. However, I made a big decision because my achievement as a warlock comes first. Please accept it.”

“Uh huh, I shouldn’t be like this… … .”

He finally accepted my ring pretending not to win.

You probably think that you’ve completely caught the hogu on the inside, right?

Of course, that ring was the signet ring of Count Cromwell.

‘I just need to earn money and return the ring later.’

Right now, the priority is to secure resources that can roll even a little bit.

Anyway, I was going to exchange that ring for money and roll it.

It’s much more profitable if you think that you saved the body of the Auror Master with that money.

“okay. You said you wanted this body, right? take it.”

“thank you.”

We hid our true feelings from each other and took advantage of each other.

Perhaps Piman is happy to sell the corpse of an old man who is not even a young knight at a high price.

Even though the Count Cromwell family is a strong family, it will cost a lot because it is the signet ring of a high-ranking nobleman.

Still, compared to the corpse of the Auror Master, it is hemostasis.

This is because no matter how much money you have, you can’t get it.

If they found out that it was the body of an Auror Master, they would probably fall down by the scruff of their necks.

When he entered the pit and opened the coffin, he found an old man who appeared to have just died with his eyes closed.

‘Thank you. My first subordinate.’

I took out the body and moved it with meticulous care, as if handling a baby.

It was hard, but to me it was something that could not be compared to any other treasure, so I just smiled.
