Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 28. I don’t know and the back story

I got on the train without incident and sat down in my seat with my bag in my arms.

I thought about what to do after returning to the academy.

‘I have to evolve it from nickel as soon as I go back.’

The success rate was 100%, so there was no worry about failure.

If there was one question, there were as many as 66 quarters.

‘What exactly is a quarter?’

Quarterly I thought was kind of.

The next tier of Skeleton is Soldier, Archer, and Magician.

Both Soldier and Archer Magician are 2-tier skeletons, but I was thinking of branching as a type, as they are different types.

‘But 66 branches.’

The numbers aren’t unusual.

It must be the influence of the lazy page.

I wanted to see what the heck it was, but unfortunately the system wasn’t very kind.

Please, I hope that he evolves into a strong guy.

After being lost in thought for a while, I came to a stop at a station.

Even though it was early in the morning, it was a weekend, so there was a lot of floating population.

There were quite a few people getting on and off the train, and while I was making plans for the future, an old man approached me with a cane and sat down facing me.

He looked like the kind of neighborhood grandfather you would find anywhere with a very benevolent impression.

However, I checked the face of the person sitting in front of me and calmed down out of habit.

And even though I was embarrassed, I pretended not to be at all and rather pretended to look at the old man.

‘Morn Dwalski.’

Didn’t you come too openly?

Then what if the empire chases you?

It is the first time I have seen a character who has no sense of incongruity with the graphics in the game.

They looked so alike that I could recognize them as soon as I saw them.

I never thought the main body would find me directly.

Are you going to die like this?

Then Morne spoke to me.

“Baby.”

“yes? Me?”

For now, I pretended not to know and pretended not to know.

“Yes, dear. Are you feeling better?”

It was right that you came to me as well.

But I’m not trying to hide my identity at all.

When Morne came out openly, I decided to just be honest.

“yes. it’s okay. Sorry for the late greeting. My name is Adrias Cromwell. old man.”

“Hoo. Do you know who I am?”

“Aren’t you the godfather?”

“haha. What you went through today is different from what I have heard in many ways.”

Morn’s appearance and smile, like a benevolent grandfather, were oddly warm.

But rather, it raised my awareness to the maximum.

“Baby.”

“Yes, godfather.”

“I’m sorry.”

The sudden apology made me tense every muscle in my body.

Are you trying to attack?

Even if you don’t know, it’s like that. In a train with so many people?

“I am really sorry.”

But when I saw Morne again apologizing, I realized that it was my mistake that it was a precursor to an attack.

“Godfather. I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden.”

“no. Nothing. Are you learning better from Karon than that?”

It was even more difficult to comprehend the situation when Morne suddenly turned away.

No, what the hell did you suddenly apologize for?

Even if I search my memory, this is the first time I met Morn.

But as if to apologize for what happened in the past… … .

‘droughty?’

Thanks to Salem, I knew it was true, but somehow I realized that there was something bigger and more complicated than I thought in the secret history of the Cromwell family.

‘The Cromwell family had no influence in the game, why? Anyway, it looks like there’s something there.’

I had a feeling that I was involved in something without knowing it.

“I always get help from Professor Caron. Because I am lacking, I always bring disappointment.”

“haha. Looking at you now, it doesn’t seem like that at all. If you think Karon will harm you after you go back, don’t worry about that. I won’t let him take care of it.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

Aren’t you here to kill me?

Why do you treat me so well?

However, I still haven’t let go of the string of tension.

I was even thinking of breaking the window of a running train and running away.

“hand… … .”

“yes?”

“Can I touch your hand once?”

I don’t know the hell

Is it just a pervert? Is it the navy blue color I like?

I thought about it for a while, but I had no choice.

Eventually, I carefully reached out.

Then Morne took my hand and looked at it for a while.

“Are you training your sword?”

“yes.”

“It’s a busy time even if you only focus on magic… … .”

When I just smiled awkwardly and passed it over, Morne let go of my hand with a gaze as if he were looking at his grandson.

I didn’t even know that, but I was afraid that an imperial official would see this scene.

“Godfather. But isn’t it dangerous? If you go around like this… … .”

“haha. Don’t worry. baby There are more than 3,000 people around me who are my eyes and ears, so no one can follow me or check me. I’d rather get this than that.”

I don’t know what to do, the same named class warlock wouldn’t act thoughtlessly.

As I let out a sigh of relief, he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a thick book.

“This?”

“It will help. And, if possible, hide it from Charon.”

When I sneakily opened the book, there was a record of necromancy.

Along with that, the system window popped up.

[Morn’s Dark Magic Book]

‘Skill Book!’

Considering that most things do not open the system window, this has already proven its excellence.

In particular, most of the cases where books were recognized as items were skill books, and there were not many of them.

As I was staring at the system window while holding the book, Morne urged me to put it in my bag.

First of all, as he said, I put the book in my bag and thanked him.

“thank you?”

I expressed my gratitude with a question without knowing.

Come to think of it, Morne had no reason to give me this.

Rather, if you catch it, it’s a joke.

Once I gave it to you, I immediately accepted it, but why the hell did you give it to me?

“okay. work hard.”

After saying that, Morne got up from his seat again, using his cane, and walked away.

The train just stopped and we exited with artistic timing.

No, I was going to ask why, but they say it goes away so quickly?

Are there any bomb spells planted in the book?

I quietly took out the book and looked at it, but there was no trace of it.

‘My head hurts.’

Is it because I can’t sleep?

Everything that happened today was like a dream.

From Salem to Morne at the end.

I felt the need to find out more about the Cromwells.

* * *

The academy, which arrived late in the evening, was still there.

It was a weekend evening, so there were still quite a few people walking around outside.

Come to think of it, as Karon said, we succeeded in returning within the weekend.

‘hungry.’

I filled up a simple snack on the train, but I was hungry because that was the only thing I ate all day.

But even for the bag she was holding in her arms, she endured hunger for a while.

Returning to my dorm room, I immediately struggled with where to put my bag.

After the treasure was obtained, there was no suitable place to store it.

‘At this time, I can leave it to Nickel.’

Before that, let’s start with evolution.

less so

Nickel, who was immediately summoned, looked fine on the outside.

“nickel. are you okay? Is there anything strange about it?”

He shook his head at my question.

Then he solemnly wrote in the air.

training.

training? what is water lily? whatever?

Nickel ignored me and started swinging his sword.

Should I say I’m glad that they’re really the same or should I curse at them?

“nickel. For now, stop training and start evolving.”

[100% chance of evolution of Skeleton Soldier (Legendary)]

[There are 66 branches in case of evolution.]

[Do you want to evolve?]

Nickel looked at me as if asking what it was, and at the same time I chose evolution.

[Skeleton Soldier (Legendary)]

[Evolving… … .]

[Remaining time: 55 hours 06 minutes 12 seconds]

It took longer than expected.

Still, it didn’t feel bad.

The longer the time, the higher the expected value.

less so

Nickel looked around himself for a moment, then casually started swinging his sword again.

Is it painless because it’s a skeleton?

If that’s the case, swordsmanship lessons will be possible even during evolution.

Since it was evolved, I first put the clothes on Nickel, and then I undressed myself.

Then, with a pounding heart, I checked my bag to check Timur and Mirinae.

When I opened the bag I had brought with me, the first thing I noticed was the book Morne had given me.

‘Shall I leave Timur and Mirinae for a while and read this first?’

Right now, my necromancer proficiency is at most beginner level.

In addition, he had only learned nothing other than summoning skeletons.

‘I don’t care about Timur, but Mirinae, a fairy, will have a hard time.’

I could see that if I used Skeleton Summon on Mirinae’s corpse, there would be a 99 out of 100 chance of failure.

Rather, it seemed much better to summon a Banshee or Ghost type that completely disappears the body.

‘okay. Let’s read the book first. It’s not like the corpse runs away on its feet.’

I don’t know what kind of skills it might contain, but it couldn’t be ordinary as it was the book of Morne, the godfather of necromancers.

It would probably take quite a while to get used to it, but compared to before when I had nothing, I was full.

‘good. For now, the corpses are on hold until you read this book.’

I started turning the first page of the thick book Morne had handed me.

* * *

“Grandpa I don’t know.”

In a quiet room that seemed to be built of marble, an elderly man and a middle-aged man were sitting on chairs facing each other.

The old man was enjoying blood-red tea, and the middle-aged man was reading a book, occupying a long chair with poor posture.

Salem called Morne while reading a book.

“Can I ask you something?”

“hmm? Ask me.”

“You gave me the information that you found a hardworking sloth. so i went to But did you actually have another plan?”

As if curious about Salem, he looked at Morne, who was leisurely drinking tea.

Morn took a sip, feeling the aroma of steaming tea.

“When I asked why you came, did you wonder about that?”

“You know. If I have any questions, I can’t stand it.”

Morne smiled when Salem spoke kindly.

“Well… … .”

“What is it? I’m not an idiot either, so I guessed it roughly. At first, I thought it was because of my grandfather’s disciple Karon, right? But at the end, I changed my mind when I saw the grandfather handing over the body.”

Salem’s eyes sharpened like a snake’s tongue.

He looked at Morne with a look that saw through everything.

“Adrias. Did you leak the information because of him? I want to keep him.”

“haha. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Uh huh. grandpa. He keeps ignoring me, but he has the nickname of a wise man.”

“Speak right. Not just a sage, but a sage tearing up the correct answer.”

“That or that. Won’t you tell me anyway?”

As Salem’s fuss continued, Morne finally shook his head.

The tea did not come up steam as if it had cooled down before I knew it.

“okay. Your guess is correct.”

“Adrias Cromwell. Son of Kane Cromwell.”

Salem said while recalling memories of Kane for a moment.

“I know that Grandpa cared for Kane. But don’t you think that’s all the connection with Cromwell? To be honest, at first, the Empire forced Kane to entrust him to his grandfather. Besides, he had no magical talent, so it was obvious that he was having a hard time teaching. If it were me, I wouldn’t have good feelings.”

“Salem.”

“why.”

“Do you know the origins of necromancer or necromancer?”

“Suddenly the origin of necromancy? … … Isn’t it immortal?”

Morne quietly nodded at Salem’s answer.

But he shook his head again.

“What is that gesture? Are you right or wrong?”

“Right. But I didn’t say the subject.”

“subject?”

“Fire and fire. Who really wanted immortality?”

“No grandpa. What are you talking about suddenly starting with the origin of necromancy. Aren’t you talking about Cromwell?”

“The origin of necromancy is the immortality of the loved one.”

Hearing Morne’s answer, Salem stared blankly at him for a moment.

At Morn’s completely unexpected words, he laughed involuntarily.

“under! That’s so romantic. Anyway, what are you talking about playing with a corpse?”

“That is correct. But that’s the origin. I don’t know if you believe it or not.”

“so. What does that have to do with the story?”

Morne looked down at the cup of tea for a moment.

The worn-out eyes tried to read the remorse contained in the car.

“When someone I love dies, I want to bring it back no matter what. Even if it is different from how it was before life.”

“… … Have you been talking about yourself since before? Why did Grandpa become a necromancer?”

“haha. well. I don’t know anymore.”

Morn closed his mouth after that.

Seeing such an unknown, Salem decided not to ask further questions.

“So, you just have to know that there was something related to Cromwell besides Kane, right? okay. Anyway, I had some fun with this incident, so I didn’t mean to blame the old man for leaking information.”

As the story was about to come to an end, Morne asked as he poured a new cup of tea.

“I also want to ask you one thing. How was the child?”

“Adrias? He’s a very eccentric guy. Didn’t you see the grandpa too? I still get goosebumps when I think of that bastard laughing as he poked himself near his heart.”

“It’s amazing that Kane’s son has grown so much.”

“That is what I mean. If Kane, who was a purebred, would have seen it, he would have been surprised. Hehe.”

Salem smiled mischievously at Adrias.

“Adrias. The cub will probably be a crazy guy than me.
