The Exiled Necromancer Wants To Create a Bone Dragon

chapter 24



24 – Take a turn?

Ed had dinner with Growin and stopped by the bookstore. Ed had been reading ‘The Ecology of Southern Monsters.’ since he had been reading it while working as an assistant teacher at Setin Divine Academy, and had almost memorized it, so he purchased a new book, ‘Ecology of Central Monsters.’

There was also a book with a similar title, Ecology of Monsters in the East and West, written by the same author, but the North did not exist. ‘The Ecology of Monsters.’ was an easy-to-read book that was close to an essay in which he wrote about what he felt while meeting and defeating monsters, but it seems that the author was not a necromancer and had never fought the monsters of the North, so it was not published.

Glowyn, who came to the bookstore with Ed, bought two popular novels because she was a bit bored when the conversation was interrupted during the train journey. When Glowyn was running the purple moonlit night, she spent time remembering the information that various people unknowingly spilled as they came and went, and reporting it to Kala.

Because Ed, the object that Glowwin had to dig up information for this time, gave him all the information he could give in a few days, only the task of gathering important information that Ed flowed like water was left, leaving GlowWindow time.

After finishing their work in Tabia, the two returned to the hotel arranged by the track management team, washed in order of Glowin and Ed, and lay down on a comfortable bed.

They shared a smaller room, but while nothing was happening, when they were shopping for clothes or eating dinner, they both felt a little like they were dating, but it didn’t go beyond that.

Rather, it was a comfortable bed in a hotel that required a deep relationship between the two. It was comfortable when I lay down for a short time earlier, but after washing and wearing comfortable clothes, the comfort was extraordinary.

Glowyn, who had less stamina than Ed, threw away the book she had bought and immediately covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes. I fell asleep quickly with the power of the cozy blanket and the bed that wrapped my body.

Ed wasn’t sleepy yet, so he briefly opened up the ecology of monsters in the central region and looked for ogres.

《A strong ogre can grow up to 5m tall. It is a race that can exert power on a different level than humans with its tough skin and large muscles that fit its 5m tall body. However, since they have low intelligence and are faithful to their instincts, they repeat eating and sleeping.

I would like to say this about this ogre, which is surprising in that it belongs to the top of the central ecosystem by repeating eating and sleeping with its large body and innate strength without any special ability.

‘Never touch a hungry ogre.’

“I think I bought a book for nothing?”

Even in the state of southern monsters, while reading the book, there were monsters that I was quite interested in, but I started to worry rather that they might not be sluggish like ogres. When I went into battle with the ogre, I heard a rough knock on the door while reading the essay about how to form a formation, how to lure it, and how long it took to subdue it.

– thump thump

Glowyn seemed to be asleep, but Ed showed only a slight reaction, so Ed closed the book and got up. When I opened the door, there were two men, one of a rather large, warrior-like style, and the other relatively agile but of average build. And both of them felt stronger than the average person.

“who are you?”

“Gahim Snella, the guild master of the Nakambe Guild.”

“I’m Saru, the second guild master.”

There were definitely things to settle at the Nakambe Guild, but I didn’t like that they came at this time.

“Isn’t it polite to come over tonight?”

“Odol… I was a little curious about the wizard who said he hunted ogres alone.”

Gahim Snella looked at Ed with a little hostility. As I heard from Saru on the way back, he was a person with silver hair and an appearance that was hard to see in the center. There are quite a few blue eyes, so I went over and looked at the whole body. His body was well developed to be called a general magician, so it reminded him of a martial artist who put his life and death on physical training.

Ed said to Gahim, who didn’t even think to hide that he was trying to identify him.

“Snella, is what you want to do after coming all this way tonight to try me out?”

“There is still evidence that it is an ogre’s corpse, but I am curious. I wonder how strong the wizard was to defeat the ogre single-handedly, and whether the ogre had any special injuries before the fight. Both eyes were opened from the needle puncture wounds on his body. “I heard he was so soaked in blood that it was hard to see. What kind of method was used? Also, I heard that he dealt with him alone. How did he cut off his head?”

Certainly, the two wounds had a strange corner to say that Ed defeated them with the power of a ‘wizard’. Ogres don’t have the strange resilience of trolls, but they’re still pretty good at regenerating. Killing such an ogre through excessive blood loss through a needle-like wound was difficult to explain without the curse. So I decided to use a little trick.

“Originally, I was going to get more angry and send it back, but I’ll show you simply.”

Ed saw a money bag held by a man named Saroo, so he decided to demonstrate. I waved my finger lightly in the air, and a needle made of ice appeared. That alone could prove that he was a skilled wizard in his own way, but it was difficult to explain his wounds.

And Ed clenched his fist.

-Pargag!

Exactly half of the ice needle was broken. Not just one, but half of all the Ice Needles Ed summoned.

Gahim was able to imagine a little by looking at the strange magic. Wouldn’t it be possible to cause excessive bleeding if the needle of ice was destroyed while being stuck in the ogre’s body and opened the wound? And I wondered if I could perfectly cope with the magic I just used.

‘difficult.’

The mage, who is hard to judge the realm, showed ridiculous mana control that destroyed only half of the magic he implemented, so I had to trust the mage without doubting anymore. However, I wanted to clear up the remaining questions.

“While destroying magic itself, it causes excessive bleeding by opening wounds. Even a country with little magical knowledge can understand it. Then, what’s next? Did you use wind magic on your neck?”

There were few wizards who could handle two attributes, but Gahim thought that it might be possible given Ed’s strong power as a wizard he had just shown.

Ed raised his arm to answer the question and made a sword made of ice in his hand. When the two of them looked surprised at the ice sword, which was difficult to find the traces of the necromancer because they used Corosis to a minimum, Ed immediately destroyed it.

“I induced bleeding and cut my throat without strength. Do you think this is enough?”

Looking at Ed’s body, Gahim guessed that Ed wasn’t a wizard who neglected physical training, but he didn’t think he would have killed the ogre himself. I thought I would have enough stamina to avoid the ogre’s attack, but the magician’s handling of the sword was beyond his imagination.

“Gahim. It’s enough. Step back.”

Saru, who was standing behind Gahim, grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back slightly. Gahim stepped back without resistance, and Saroo held out a money bag.

“I found out that the wizard subdued the ogre using a certain method. This is the purchase price of the ogre corpse. Fifty million energy.”

“Looks like it’s less than I thought. And it’s Ed.”

Ed received the money bag from Saroo, deliberately not giving his last name.

Upon checking it, it was a money bag that was difficult to carelessly carry around, containing five 10 million energy coins.

“Originally, when you receive a request to subdue an ogre, the cost of the request increases exponentially due to the risk, but Mr. Ed did not receive a request to subdue it. From what I heard, the track management team is also planning to give Mr. Ed unlimited train rides.”

‘It’s not a restaurant unlimited ticket, it’s an unlimited train ticket that I’ve taken only twice so far.’

Ed listened to Saru’s words and nodded slightly.

“Excuse me for being late at night.”

Seeing Saru slightly lowering his head, Ed nodded slightly. Gahim, the guild master, tried to be on top from the beginning to the end, but he felt fortunate to have someone like Saru by his side who knew how to bow down. It reminded me of a senior and aide-de-camp in the North.

When Ed quietly closed the door, Gahim and Saroo turned and left the hotel.

“Do you know why I stopped you?”

Saroo said while squeezing Gahim’s shoulders.

“Yeah. If I listened to argue a little more there, I could have lost my life.”

Sorcerers, especially those who can handle the incantation, are very dangerous. The reason why the students of Setin Divine Academy are highly evaluated is because they have been trained to the level where they can use magic bullets as a martial arts spear. However, a wizard who can freely handle magic containing attributes and has no shortage of stamina? It was already something that surpassed the magician.

“Odoli had to split the pear someday, so let’s say I cut it in advance. Since it’s back to the top quality, if you process it properly and dispose of it properly, you can eat up to three pears.”

When Gahim returned from the meeting, Saru, who looked the most exhausted in the guild, quickly regained consciousness to assist the guild master as a deputy guild master.

“But. Whoa… It would be impossible to recruit that wizard, right?”

“A wizard who can kill ogres by himself comes to a small or medium-sized guild like ours? Even if he comes, your position will be in danger, right?”

“Then I have to give up. Ha. But 50 million Enel is a waste. I’ve drained the guild’s emergency fund.”

Having said that, Gahim was satisfied with the results. Even though I encountered a great wizard who was no different from a natural disaster, I was able to expect a profit of about 100 million Enel without any problems. If the wizard had claimed ownership of the ogre’s body and tried to dispose of it directly, Nakambe Guild would have ended up transporting the ogre’s body for a labor fee.

“Whew. I’m glad it ended like this.”

After Gaheem finished thinking like that, he let out words of relief, and Saru said with a chuckle.

“Isn’t that right? If I had done this a little longer, the higher ups would definitely have noticed and been damned.”

Gahim, who heard Saru’s words, slightly nodded his head in agreement. Because if you have a long tail, you will always get stepped on.
