I Became The Academy Necromancer

79. Volta’s Life Cost

“How unfortunate.”

“How could a human act like that?”

The Sorcery Judges feel sad when they come out of Hernu’s house. Two people followed as an escort, but both frowned as if they had never seen such a corpse.

“… … .”

Even so, the gaze subtly focused on me was the anticipation that I might have noticed something.

After thinking for a while, I asked the two of them in reverse.

“The corpses are preserved in different states.”

Both had their own knowledge in these fields. No matter what, they are the ones who execute the execution.

The long-jawed judge named Thema answered.

“you’re right. When you look at the condition of the corpse or the entangled insects, it starts with the body, then the left hand, right hand, left leg, and right leg.”

Judicator Doben with a mole on his lips nods in agreement with Tema’s opinion.

Thema and Doven’s opinions merged, and I was thinking the same thing.

“From the corpse… … I was feeling the black magic. Someone used magic to preserve it that way on purpose.”

It is not an event caused by evil spirits.

That, too, I just realized when I saw the corpse.

‘No matter how I look at it, I thought it was an evil spirit. In this case, it is correct that someone deliberately made the appearance of an evil spirit.’

The reason I came here in the first place was because I was worried that there might be an evil spirit that encompasses the entire kingdom.

But when I got there, that wasn’t the case.

Someone made it look like a strange phenomenon was happening, and evil spirits made it look like it was happening.

‘Why?’

I tried to deepen my worries, but I had no choice but to stop because of the two people who were looking at me as black magicians.

Apparently, at this time, an incident like this could never benefit me, so I didn’t know how to react.

If known, it would be natural for the position of the warlock to go to the worst.

I planted the perception that I am different from the normal black magician through my divine power, but I will not be completely free from their gaze.

“First of all, I think it would be good to investigate Volta to the citizens living in Fernan.”

When I told them to meet again at this place in an hour, the two immediately saluted and started to move quickly.

Perhaps it was because of my victory over the sorcerer judge Tyren, the judges were feeling a strange fear towards me.

I went inside the house again.

Hernu, the mother, hadn’t even had a proper meal and was simply eating something like millet.

Thinking that I should give her something to eat later, I check again Volta’s corpse in the front yard, which is almost like a garbage dump, without her knowledge.

The state of decay of the corpse is different, and they are preserved.

I think it’s a pretty bizarre act, but the most important thing is.

‘There is no face.’

Where did the face that was straight from the body go?

and another one.

‘There is no soul either.’

I checked to see if there was a sleeping soul through Remegeton, but nothing was visible.

Even if he woke up as an evil spirit, he must have wandered near his body shortly after he died.

In this case, it was one of two things.

Either Volta’s soul has been completely annihilated.

or.

‘Still alive.’

There were too many incidents that bothered me.

Why did the culprit put such a complex spell on the corpse?

Why did the culprit cut Volta’s corpse and place it at the north, south, east, west, and west of Griffin Kingdom?

I came because I thought it was a simple evil spirit event, but it was actually the work of the black magician.

I felt unappealing.

A cool feeling passed through the nape of my neck as if I was standing in the shadow of someone.

“What are you doing?”

Then Volta’s mother, Hernu, poked her head right next to me.

She, who had just been chewing on millet, was staring at me with something smeared in her mouth.

A completely different atmosphere than before.

I asked without much agitation.

“What kind of son was Volta?”

At my question, Hernu slightly lowered his head and answered.

“I can’t even say that I was a good kid. I ran around with gangs of gangsters in the neighborhood, stealing money, beating kids, and stealing boats.”

“… … .”

“So, to be honest, even after Volta’s death, the villagers didn’t feel very sad. Rather, I liked that the bullies ran away because Volta closed his eyes so cruelly.”

Tears welled up in Hernu’s eyes as he grabbed my hand.

“It’s true that my son is an ugly guy, but he didn’t do anything so bad that he died. Even the goddess is indifferent!”

The trembling of the voice, the dripping tears, the strength of the old woman’s hand that seemed to be about to break at any moment.

“I hope you catch the man who made my son like this.”

“… … All right.”

After saying that, I came out again. It didn’t seem necessary to have more than that.

I checked the spirits floating around for a while, but most of them were harmless to people and would naturally go to rest after a while.

an hour later.

Theme and Doben are back. They were making strange faces, but the content they brought was similar.

There are only bad reviews about Volta.

“It is said that he did not have very good manners. It is said that there were times when I was caught robbing beyond simply stealing things.”

“In addition, it was a daily routine to go around with a gang and hit people. They say that if you hear Volta’s voice outside at night, don’t come out to the village recklessly.”

“There were so many incidents, and it is said that there were many cases where I was actually handed over to the guards. It is said that every time Volta’s old mother came and knelt down and apologized.”

“My father said he had a similar personality. Volta’s father was an alcoholic, and it is said that he fell and hit his head on a stone late at night.”

“The aura of the warlock was not found separately within the village. It looks like it will be a more difficult case than I thought.”

Since they were two people who specialized in dealing with black magicians, they explained the current situation fairly quickly and coolly.

While praising the two people for gathering a vast amount of tidy information, I quietly looked up at the sky.

Suddenly the day got dark.

The weather is overcast and looks like it will rain in a little while.

The fishermen’s boats have already reaped their nets and anchored. They left early and seemed to be gathering in a tavern in the village, making a lot of noise.

“What do you two think is the most important thing about this case?”

To my question, Theme with a long chin answered as if he had been waiting.

“I think it is the preservation of the body. I didn’t just kill them, I put a unique device on them.”

However, it didn’t seem to reach that point.

This time, Dauben with a mole at the corner of his mouth, standing next to him, has a different opinion.

“The corpses were spread out to the north, south, east and west. Personally, I’m guessing it’s some kind of magic circle that spreads throughout the kingdom.”

According to Doven’s opinion, the scale is quite large. Because the magic circle that deals with corpses is usually a summoning magic circle.

Become a demon, but not a griffin’s demon.

The real devil could have come out.

Both were reasonable opinions in their own way. However, there were aspects that lacked persuasiveness if I had to ask.

I sneakily turned my gaze to the Dark Mage. She had been looking around here and there with her mouth tightly closed since before, but when her eyes met mine, she opened her mouth with a weak moan.

[Hmm, I think the problem is that it is an overly unique situation.]

At her words, I also nodded.

“It’s overly radical, yet splendid. But there is no real speed.”

Different body time zones?

It looks great, but it doesn’t look too difficult if you’re a black magician and not a demon.

Fragments of corpses scattered in the north, south, east and west?

It wasn’t difficult to move it if there were people.

As Doben said, it could have been a magic circle that summoned demons.

But if you think of it the other way around.

While creating a magic circle that covers the entire Griffin Kingdom, activate it with only one corpse?

To put it bluntly, the material is lacking.

So, in my personal opinion, the culprit in this case wanted one thing.

“It must have been an intention to deliberately make the incident flashy.”

black magician.

A being I think is supposed to be a corpse man is calling me.

It felt even more so when I remembered that the time of the incident was immediately after the memorial service.

“Are you talking about the spirit commander?”

“Mmm.”

Both of them looked very unconvinced, but I began to be more or less convinced.

Because I was the one who had information in the game that they didn’t know.

As the retry progresses towards the latter half, the content of the game gradually changes profoundly.

The setting that dead souls pile up on the continent wasn’t something I found out after I became a necromancer.

It’s because there was an episode based on the related content in the game.

The Griffin Kingdom was terribly hostile to the Warlock.

On the contrary, it was a perfect place to hide their bodies for talented black magicians.

Because Griffin’s demon blocked black magic from the source, the citizens are ignorant.

I slowly turn my gaze to the Dark Mage.

Typically, she is

A necromancer who was hiding in the kingdom of griffins and doing only his own research.

anyway.

Dante, a black magician organization that lives in the sewers beneath the feet of the Griffin Kingdom that appears in the game.

‘Dante is intertwined.’

In their own words, rational warlocks. That’s why it doesn’t stand out from the sorcery judges, and it doesn’t cause much damage to people.

Unlike the selfish black magicians, they are in the position that all knowledge and learning must be paid for.

That’s why I don’t kill people recklessly. Even if they killed, they were the ones who paid the price.

But if so.

I turn my head and look at Hernu’s house.

I thought I knew who would have taken the price of Volta’s life.
