Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Chapter 27



Episode 27. Trades and Rewards

“It’s hard to pinpoint something.”

Jester spoke first.

He created a sticky black liquid in the air like a plate and wrote on it.

“Why don’t you give me three of these?”

Well, only three.

Looking at the 30 or so items he wrote down, I saw things I expected as well as unexpected things.

‘I hid some of them in the meantime.’

The things I thought were really precious didn’t show up on the list, as if they were hidden in part.

But it didn’t matter.

Because what I was aiming for was already in here.

“What about this? I don’t remember what I had.”

“Then get out.”

When Salem made a troubled expression, Jester sarcastically said.

However, Salem, who did not even listen, picked up the ‘evil snake’ hanging from his back.

“The only thing I can give you right now is this. I will do this.”

uh?

Are you serious?

As if I wasn’t the only one who was flustered, I could see that Jester, or everyone gathered there, was agitated.

“Is Salem Yedidia serious?”

“uh. Why are you making such surprised faces? I’m tired of this, so I’m just trying to get a new toy.”

The ‘evil snake’, which can be seen as Salem’s favorite disease, was the equipment he used until his death.

You’re giving away something like that casually?

“Salem Yedidiah, are you going to disturb us that much?”

“What are you talking about? What am I disturbing?”

“Do I look stupid? Don’t you think he doesn’t know that he’s trying to raise the stakes by putting up bad spears he has no intention of giving?”

“Hey Jester. Raising the stakes? Even if you give me all the things written there, you can’t rub it against the ‘evil snake’. But what about the stakes? I’m just using the best I can. Like anyone here.”

Salem smiled at me.

Who used the best move… … Are you talking about me?

Jester stood there without saying anything as if to let go of his anger, then looked at me.

“Increase it to five. I will put an additional body on top of that.”

“dead body?”

“You’re a necromancer, so you know. A corpse that was powerful in life is the most precious treasure to a necromancer.”

He sighed and continued.

“I will give you the body of King Timur and the body of Mirinae, the previous Fairy Queen.”

“Huh.”

I was also surprised, but the sound of Charon’s breathing in the back was more spectacle.

Of course, it was certainly surprising.

Salem’s deal was stronger than expected, and Jester also had a superpower.

I thought the chicken game was over, but it’s still in progress!

“ says the Jester.”

It was then that Rago opened his mouth for the first time.

“ says the It is a corpse that has already made a deal with Morn. Morne will be angry.”

These were the corpses that had already decided to go to Morne.

In many ways, it was uneasy to have Chuck with Morn, Charon’s teacher and the godfather of all existing Necromancers.

If I eat that, I think I’ll get a stomach ache.

However, Jester fired at Rago as if he didn’t know what I was thinking.

“Called. Then you’ll add some to the deal, though? huh? No matter how much we are warlocks who value personal gain, do you think such words come out with the codex right in front of you?”

“ says the I ate all of them, so I have nothing.”

“Then be quiet.”

“… … .”

Regardless of the conversation between the two, I decided to politely decline.

It was too much of a burden to eat things that belonged to him carelessly.

“It’s unsettling in many ways for me to steal things from you.”

Then Jester turned to the table and spoke into the air.

“I don’t know. Can’t you just give in this time?”

“Does not matter. give it.”

The answer came from an unexpected place.

When I looked for the owner who answered, I saw a small fly perched on the table.

“Master!”

Seeing Paris, Charon exclaimed.

don’t know that? Since when have you been there?

Have you been watching all this time?

“I do not care. If you want it, take it.”

It looked like a zombie fly operated by unknown people, but I was just wondering when I would be able to use a skill like that.

Anyway, I thought Morne had spoken to me, so I asked again.

“Can you really do that?”

“I have already said it twice. don’t let me talk anymore baby.”

I don’t know why Morne gave up.

Even so, King Timur was the Aura Master of the great family.

He is also not an ordinary Auror Master, but a strong man who dominated an era that appeared in history.

‘Come to think of it, did Morn deal with Timur’s undead?’

Morne, who appears as one of the mid-bosses in the latter half of the game, was the number one contributor to making me think of necromancers as all-weather wizards.

Morn in the game was to prevent players from attempting to stop the summoning ritual of the Codex Apocalypse.

He summoned only the undead in subspace in a place where there were no corpses around.

That alone gave players despair, but it was a question of whether they would be able to win if they fought in a battlefield full of corpses.

Anyway, since I’ve been through more than 10 battles with him, I thoroughly attacked the Undead of Morn.

But Timur was not there.

It was certain that I couldn’t remember an undead the size of Timur.

“I ate one of these.”

Salem smiled and shook his head as I thought.

“There are many things hidden here and there, but I don’t even know what they are, and all I can give you right now is this spear. I have nothing more to bargain for.”

“Now, disciple of Charon. Choose.”

vicious evil snake.

As a named-class item, if you fully demonstrate its ability, it is a terrible weapon.

Of course, it could be used properly only when it was recognized as the owner, but it was a good weapon considering that.

Most of all, it was a spear, but it had the advantage of being able to use it as a staff because it could amplify magic like a wizard’s staff.

‘But I’m learning the sword.’

Changing the weapon you use because of an item was risky.

And I thought about the future.

‘Growth is important now. If you get a sore throat, your immediate strength will greatly increase, but it has nothing to do with my own growth.’

Besides, in my judgment, it seemed that Salem had brought out sores to help me.

Like Jester said earlier, I thought it was a bet to raise the stakes.

I made my decision and told Jester.

“I will accept the assembly’s proposal.”

“… … okay.”

Even though he clearly beat Salem, Jester didn’t look good.

In contrast, Salem was still watching the situation with a smile on his face.

Haven’t the winners and losers changed?

“Sorry! It was an opportunity to play with the pages of the Codex. Hey Jester. But can I touch it once in a while?”

“Salem Yedidiah. I don’t want to talk to you any more.”

Jester took a cold glance at Salem and pointed at me with a list of items.

“Five things. Take your pick.”

I slowly checked the items on the list.

Of course, I’ve already decided what to bring, but I’ll have to pretend to choose.

After checking about 5 minutes, I slowly opened my mouth.

“I will take the Moon Blessing Fairy’s Tears Blue Kananjula Flower Yovin Root Cadunan’s Gem.”

“There is no turnover. Are you sure?”

“yes.”

“… … I can’t tell if you’re smart or stupid.”

Jester murmured, and the rest of the staff responded that the items I had chosen were unusual.

“Why did you pick out items that you don’t even know what to use them for? Hee hee?”

“Adrias. You stupid bastard.”

“One piece of armor made from the scales of the Fire Dragon Grakanus would be worth more even if all of them were put together!”

They were Luna and Karon Dragan respectively.

There were all kinds of equipment and artifacts in the list besides the japtem I picked, but I dared to pick the japtem.

Even though they were japtem, their value was astronomical.

Of course, in terms of value alone, equipment and artifacts are more expensive.

But again, those types of equipment and artifacts might increase the ability right now, but they didn’t help growth.

Besides, the locations of most named items were already imprinted in my head.

As long as you finished growing, you could always get better items than the ones listed here.

“I don’t understand this one either.”

Even Salem looked at me strangely.

It feels strange to see a madman looking at me like a madman.

“Why did you pick such things that you don’t know what to do with them?”

“sorry.”

I roundly expressed my inability to say why.

If I were to make an elixir with this, there would probably be an uproar.

Besides, the ingredients I picked weren’t just for one elixir.

If I were to mention the ingredients to make 4 types of potions, I’d probably go crazy.

Of course, the ones I just picked were just key ingredients, and it was impossible to manufacture with just these.

Instead, I did not have to worry because the additional ingredients that go together are easily available on the market.

‘Although I accidentally chose the ingredients for Lucia’s medicine.’

Now that I’ve saved it, I’ll have to research Lucia as well.

Assuming that I am safe, Lucia’s power will be quite helpful in preventing the destruction of the world.

Of course, I didn’t think I could make an elixir or a cure right away.

However, I believed that if I continued studying and researching, evolution would solve it someday.

‘Looking at the impossible as possible, it’s a trait that suits me perfectly.’

While I and Salem were talking, Jester appeared with a bag.

“we are here. Lunar Blessing Fairy Tears Blue Cananjula Flower Yovin Root Cadunon’s Jewel, King Timur’s Body and Fairy Queen Mirinae’s Body.”

It seemed to be a bag with space expansion.

Are you giving me a bag? Then thank you very much.

“Now pass ‘laziness’.”

Even though his face was clearly covered, he seemed to be able to feel the glow in his eyes.

I immediately summoned Nickel.

less so

Nickel stood quietly.

It was an ordinary skeleton without a doubt.

Jester made a sticky liquid and wrapped the page of sloth in Nickel’s hand and took it.

Jester, who brought it in front of him, carefully inspected the cube.

“Is ‘laziness’ correct?”

Morche asked, sneaking closer.

Jester turned his head to look at Morche, then nodded.

“’Industrious sloth’ is correct.”

At Jester’s words, which resonated like a declaration, the assembly participants who had only been watching so far began to flock.

As we were arguing to get a closer look, Salem came up to me and touched my shoulder.

I looked back at him wondering what was going on.

“Why is that?”

“It is now. Let’s go.”

“yes? for a moment… … !”

Salem, who grabbed me by the back of my head and lifted me up, kicked me out.

After breaking through the wall of Morche’s nest, he started to run.

pop! pop!

The forest plants that were being caught tried to catch his foot on the ground, but Salem’s speed overtook him.

Every time we hit the ground, with the noise of mana exploding, we escaped from the captured forest in an instant.

“Salem! for a moment! wait a minute!”

“huh? Why?”

“Why are you kidnapping me all of a sudden?”

“kidnap? Fuhahaha!”

He fed chestnuts to my head.

It hurts so bad!

“Hey. Now that sloth is in their hands, they have nothing to fear. Of course, if I were alone, I would have to be cut off in one or two places, but I can save my life. But what about you? You will surely die.”

“Has confirmed.”

I almost forgot that my opponent was a warlock.

promise? If they were the ones who kept things like that, they wouldn’t have learned unethical magic like black magic.

“I don’t know if they will keep targeting you. But for now, sloth is in my hands, so I won’t be paying attention to you for a while playing with that new toy.”

Salem said that and started running again carrying me.

“Can I go to Count Cromwell?”

“You just have to go to the station. I’m going to Rodlen Academy.”

“You were a student. Yeah, I’d rather be safe there. There’s even a Bahat guy.”

Having said that, Salem suddenly lifted me up and made eye contact with me.

His expression showed surprise, but I don’t know why.

“you? Come to think of it, you must have been a black magician?”

“yes? Are you coming to that now?”

“I go to the academy, but I’m a black magician! Do you even know Bahat?”

“If I knew, would I be alive?”

“You don’t know? That’s true.”

We couldn’t hear well because of the howling wind, but we could talk.

Then he muttered something inaudible to himself and then stopped.

“From here on, go alone.”

“yes. thanked. Mr. Salem.”

“okay. Huh true. Destiny is so strange.”

“yes?”

“no. I’m talking to myself. Go in carefully and don’t leave the academy if you can.”

As soon as Salem finished speaking, he ran away like the wind.

I don’t know what the hell it is.

The nuance I just said made it sound like it would be okay for Bahat to know my identity. Is it an illusion?

ah i don’t know

The priority now is to return quickly.

‘But before that… … .’

I opened the bag Jester gave me.

I wondered if it was a scam, but I was delighted with the contents properly.

‘Ho King Timur! And the corpse of Fairy Queen Mirinae?’

Thank you! Sloth’s page!

Now all that was left was to create an invincible undead unit.
