The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

014.

I searched my memory.

Black. black… .

One of the necromancers you ripped to death in Aden Saga 1 must have said it.

what did he say

‘Do not regard my death as the end! The black child’s clan will spread everything about you to the demon lord’s army!’

It was a line that a third-rate villain used to utter.

So when I killed him, I pulled out the tongue first.

Due to information blocking in case of emergency, the Demon King’s army did not recognize me.

That’s why these guys don’t know my face.

I don’t even know that I am a warrior.

They were looking at me differently.

“Eh, the fragments of the Demon King. Are you just now aware of your destiny?”

I saw the debris in the setting book and thought of it as an object.

‘Wasn’t it?’

It was new information.

The debris was a living being, not an object.

I don’t know yet if it’s limited to humans.

I guess I’ll have to get some information out of these guys.

I remained silent and hid my left arm in my robe.

Then, I could see how sincere they were from the sighs that burst out.

“You must be an intelligence group.”

Judging from the words of the necromancer, it was clear that it was an informant or scouting group.

So when I asked, the one who was prostrated in the lead lifted his head.

“Yeah, yes. The Black Child clan is a group that has been organized to support the Demon King since ancient times.”

“If you do, you can be my eyes and ears.”

“It’s been a while since you’ve been aware of our existence.”

“I don’t see any obligation to tell you.”

“I have committed a mortal sin!”

No, is it something to break into a cold sweat like that?

It seems that when the Demon King’s forces are disciplined, a mistake in words will result in death.

I waved my hands as I watched them tremble in fear.

“I don’t intend to kill you, so raise your head.”

“thank you!”

I could see and judge them in their exultation.

these guys. that I could use it

“How old am I?”

“With this, the fourth fragment has been gathered.”

“is it… Then there will be three left.”

“We are also looking for it in every way… It was not easy to track.”

“What is your name?”

He shuddered at my question.

As if this was the first time, I didn’t know what to do.

“Greedrin, the 17th leader of the black child, greets you.”

Were you the chief?

I just thought of him as the leader of the group.

It was bigger than I thought.

The reason he felt weak was probably because he trained more on pistil, tracking, and search rather than black magic.

“Low.”

I spit out the name that came to my mind appropriately.

I couldn’t tell you my real name or the name I used as a wanderer here.

“Ah, Mr. Low… !”

Fortunately, they seemed to believe without any doubt.

What is the awareness of fate as an alternative fragment, so that it is unquestionably favorable?

So I asked, and Gredrin kindly explained.

“Can’t you feel the fragments of the Demon Lord’s soul? His strength, his qualifications, his character. That’s all. That’s why I was able to treat the demon king’s artifact as if it were mine.”

Gredrin’s gaze moved to my left arm.

Certainly, this was something that would be difficult for me to deal with.

Extreme mental power, magical power control, and analytical skills.

I only woke it up with a charging stone, but the expression of my will to change my form was entirely my intention.

That’s why he must have been convinced that it was a fragment of the demon king after seeing me easily doing what he thought only the demon king or fragments of the demon king could do.

“Aren’t there fragments that you still enshrine separately?”

“That’s right.”

Gredrin’s eyes glistened with anticipation.

I met that expectation.

“Then come under me. It was uncomfortable because there was no one to help me while I was aware and wandering.”

“Go, thank you! this life. I will become your servant and dedicate my life!”

I heard the recital of others saying that they would offer it.

In this way, it was easy to obtain an information group.

A group that genuinely puts their energy into the revival of the demon king without expecting anything in return.

‘What shall I give as the first instruction?’

Contemplating with my arms crossed, I showed them my left arm.

“You must have been tracking this.”

“yes. Death Swallow. It was one of the seven artifacts that the Demon Lord dealt with. Based on that, I tried to start tracking fragments.”

“You mean it detects fragments?”

“Didn’t you show a reaction when you got it in Lowe’s hand?”

there was no response

I should still have it

“Come to think of it, it seems to vibrate finely.”

“The reaction varies from person to person, but it sensed Mr. Low and vibrated. We tried to chase fragments based on that response.”

Then I met Lou.

I nodded at Gredrin’s last word.

Their goal is to find all the fragments and achieve the first goal for the resurrection of the demon king.

Then my purpose is simple.

‘It’s not enough to get in the way of them achieving their goals.’

As an errand boy, use it as an errand boy and eat it.

It’s a certainty that I can’t keep you by my side.

Because I shouldn’t have doubts about what I’m going to do in the future.

“Then give me the first order.”

“I will give my life for any instructions. Lowe.”

“From now on, you will be scattered across the continent to find two things. Aden Parties and Historic Sites. Report the situation of the Aden party regularly.”

“It’s an Aden party… They’ve been making a name for themselves in the Northern Warfronts lately, so we’re a party to keep an eye on. By the way, did Lowe know about their existence?”

I’m a party member there man.

“They are people who pose a threat to the demon king.”

“Huh… All right. As soon as we return to our home base, we will set up a surveillance team. But why are the ruins… .”

Why?

“It is for me to become a real demon king.”

There are many things that will increase my survival rate.

***

Black-Ah, who rolled into his feet, left Alcardo to carry out my order.

He said he would contact me if there was any information worth reporting, so I guess I’ll have to wait.

‘I memorized all the places where the heroes to be united are buried.’

I checked my clothes while remembering my next destination.

The tuxedo that Duke Terren sent me was perfect for me.

After setting up his hair, he didn’t look like a savage warrior.

‘Not bad.’

His thick features are manly.

It was fortunate that he was a deceased person and had not been set up as bald with purple skin.

After checking, we left the inn.

On the way to the royal castle, countless eyes were pierced.

“Is that the hero who prevented the tragedy that took place in the capital’s underground?”

“big… .”

“I heard that you went in alone and killed the warlock inside?”

“Isn’t the hero protecting the safety of the kingdom? Thank you for watching over us. Warrior!”

“Thank you!”

The kingdom publicly announced my merits.

There was no need to sigh as long as the case was resolved.

With this, it seemed that there was a lot of intention to increase the loyalty of the citizens while calming the anxiety.

It was widely known that the kingdom of magic is safe under the protection of the hero.

‘Unconditionally good reward ripped off.’

I had to deal with citizens who handed over flowers and gifts all of a sudden.

Although the inventory contained undead, it was able to contain all of them because it had a lot of room.

After a long two-hour advance, Wangseong greeted me with great grandeur.

“The undefeated warrior! Lord Lokram enters!”

The banquet hall entered with the shouts of the royal palace soldiers.

Countless applause pours in.

I walked the red carpet calmly.

It was to have an audience with the king, Vandaim von Alcardo, who was sitting at the end of the banquet hall.

“Meet the wise king of the kingdom of magic.”

“Heh heh, I’ll raise my head, Lord Lokram.”

I saw him on one knee.

The king had a benevolent expression on his face.

so will the country

It was a natural reaction since they readily removed Alcardo’s biggest risk factor.

“As a reward, I want to open the royal castle’s treasure chest. What is your intention?”

Is it the main point?

I’m fine.

“How many treasures can I choose?”

“I want to give you one, is that okay?”

“There is nothing better.”

“If you wish, I can give you a title, private land, and even a sufficient reward?”

“I don’t know what to do with it because it’s an undeserved reward, but I will politely decline.”

“Hmm, can I hear the reason?”

Despite the agitation of the nobles around me, I calmly dealt with it.

“Because these are things I can’t hold on to.”

“Oh, can you keep it in the treasury until you defeat the Demon King?”

“It is a world where even the future cannot be predicted. Since my death may be in vain, why don’t you write for the people who are suffering in a place where the light of the kingdom does not reach rather than me?”

At my polite suggestion, Van Daim gave a thrilled expression.

Then, when an aristocrat clapped, the applause was contagious in an instant.

Clap clap clap clap!

It’s a bit burdensome.

I said it because I had to go around until I got the devil’s neck.

“You… Incredibly humble and good.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“No, my eyes cannot be fooled. It is a very nice day to meet you. This banquet is for you, so enjoy it comfortably. If you want to receive a reward, tell the knight commander here anytime. I will guide you wholeheartedly.”

I met the gaze of the knight commander who was next to the king.

Looking into his sympathetic eyes, he opened his mouth.

“Then may I choose right away?”

“hmm? Of course. But if I get the reward and leave right away, I think I’ll be a bit disappointed, wouldn’t it?”

“I will spend my time comfortably.”

“Heh heh heh! Got it. Lord Britua, guide Lord Lokram to the treasury. As for the treasure, I allow up to two of mine. I want to add more to the hero’s humility.”

“All right. majesty.”

I just turned down things I didn’t need, but this?

Singing joy inwardly, he was guided by the knight commander.

Artifacts and magic materials must be dormant in the treasure house of the Magic Kingdom.

I don’t know if there is a spirit herb or a spirit medicine.

“I think so.”

“Thanks for the guidance.”

The basement of the royal castle arrived with expectations.

They crossed the iron gate opened by the knight commander.

The treasury was as I expected.

Expensive ornaments and trinkets, and various precious materials that could not be obtained even with money caught my eye.

Of course, I had no intention of choosing compensation with those things.

“found.”

He quietly expressed his joy.

Because I finally got the elixir.

A blue marble floating in front of my eyes.

It was an elixir of blue frost made by collecting the essence of magical power that naturally freezes in one place.

It had the effect of increasing magic power and purity of the body.

‘I wonder if I can get rid of the dreaded penalty with this.’

I took the elixir with anticipation.

This was the only elixir left in the treasure chest.

Unfortunately, Youngcho was nowhere to be seen.

So I chose something other than precious metals.

‘I get all of this here.’

What I held in my hand was a gear made of crystal.

On the surface, it’s just a valuable ornament.

But I did appreciate this stuff.

This was the key that opened the door to the hidden ruins.

‘I need to stop by on the way.’

I thought the conversation I had after clearing the quest with Golden Libra in the game would be helpful.

It was a conviction gained from the words they presented as they presented various evidences and the shape of the key.

You said you know the location of the ruins, but you can’t open them because you don’t have a key.

The key came into my hand.

I don’t know what’s in the ruins, but there won’t be any damage. You can be sure.

At least one of the things I got from the ruins I explored in Aden Saga 1 turned out to be useful.

“Have you chosen all of them?”

“I will do this.”

I showed the reward to the knight commander who was waiting at the entrance.

He said he would inform the king himself.

It seemed that they were considerate to enjoy the banquet comfortably.

“oh! The true hero has finally arrived!”

When I arrived at the banquet hall, Duke Terren greeted me.

Thanks to me, the status of the White Horse Tower has risen.

He even took care of the problem for me, so from that point of view, he must be like a benefactor.

“Lokram, there are many nobles who want to talk to you. How, you can get bitten if you want.”

“I want to rest a little.”

“Yes, I am the hero who saved the kingdom, but I need to rest.”

Duke Terron made the nobles back down with a glass of wine.

Also, the title was a thug.

He came back and sat across from me.

“Everyone is full of compliments. They say he is a warrior with humility and virtue.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“No, no. From what I can see, you are a man worthy of a true warrior. It’s a small number, but it’s today that warriors are being trained through the academy. It is an era where there are many warriors who have abilities but lack character.”

That was right.

Some graduates went from being heroes to becoming villains.

“I’m asking just in case… What do you think of Leah? Leah seems to be interested in you too.”

Leah has feelings for me.

It’s nonsense.

The Aden saga is the content that Aden eats everything according to the setting.

I just twisted it with my skills, and there is no case where the original character setting and destiny are derailed.

In other words, it was clear that Leah liked Aden.

Besides, I’m in a situation where I have to kill the demon king and see if I can return to the original world.

Even if Leah had a crush on me, I was in a very precarious position to make love and settle down here.

I missed civilization’s victory and chicken even more.

Above all, I couldn’t afford it right now.

“I will decline.”

“It’s a little bit sad that you rejected it with a single knife.”

Terren’s invitation continued several more times with a soft tongue.

That’s how much I like it.

I got into trouble for refusal.

‘Now is the time to leave.’

Terren was the only one to say goodbye anyway, so there was no difficulty in going out.

To be honest, the desire to quickly use the elixir took precedence over the banquet.

I headed to the inn with high expectations.
