113. Necromancer’s Blue Gem
“Oh, and that friend will protect Hessia from now on.”
Added before forgetting. Lien panicked, as if she had been briefly unemployed. It was only natural that the gigantic guy would take over the job he was supposed to do.
“Well, then what can I do? Lord.”
Lien asked with a crying voice.
A smile broke out at the sight. As expected, Rien is a guy who considers protecting someone as the pride of life.
“What are you doing? You must protect me.”
“ah… ! But isn’t the lord stronger than me?”
“Do you know that I don’t even sleep?”
Even though I became stronger, I also had to sleep.
If there is a raid in the meantime, you can wake up with a combat intuition, but if you have Rien, it will be more reliable.
“And if you take over, I have something to do.”
I told Rien what I wanted. Rien nodded.
“If that’s it! That’s a really good idea. If the lord wants it, please let me do it.”
It was a voice full of hope. I turned my gaze and looked up at the colossus.
The boy stood still without a sound. It was really surprising that I got my hands on such a ignorant guy.
I can’t use it properly in a city like this, but I think it’ll be reliable if I keep it in Hessia’s shadow.
I returned the colossus to my shadow.
Then he turned his eyes to the fallen Kanion. Now it was my turn to deal with this guy.
Of course, I will take care of it so that there are no regrets left.
Summoned Linkea from the shadows. I decided to leave the professional work to the experts, and I got out of the barrier.
Silence magic was applied to the barrier so that no one could notice what was happening inside.
This was already confirmed.
As soon as Linkea came out of the barrier, the barrier slowly disappeared and disappeared completely.
* * *
I decided to ask Tia to find a new home. Last night, the house was ruined, so I stayed at the Hergé Hotel.
“You need a new place to move to?”
“yes… . Somehow it happened.”
Tia looked at me blankly and nodded. I was curious about the reason, but I didn’t bother to ask.
“I know. What are the conditions?”
“I wish there were no neighbors and I had a basement… .”
It seemed like a detached house would be nice too. It would be better if it had a yard.
Upon hearing my condition, Tia tilted her head slightly.
“Are you planning on doing magic research?”
I asked calmly, but Tia looked worried.
“Yeah, that’s right too.”
“that… , Ethan… . Yesterday, my crows told me that a barrier had formed in Istvan and then disappeared. Is it something to do with you?”
Even though it was midnight in the barrier enchanted with silence magic, I didn’t expect that there would be no witnesses at all.
Still, I thought I’d take it to Tia.
It was strange that he became a jackdaw who was sensitive to changes in magical power around him, so he didn’t notice the changes at all.
“I am worried… . I wonder what happened to you.”
A shadow fell under Tia’s eyes as if she hadn’t slept through the night.
“Can you please tell me what happened?”
With Tia’s intelligence, she would be able to quickly find out that Kanion was missing.
Not only that, but you might also notice that last night’s raid was related to the canon.
Still, I don’t have the desire to drag you into something useless.
“don’t worry. Tia.”
I patted Tia’s red hair and smiled brightly.
“I… , If there is anything I can help with, I will do my best to help.”
“Then, after all, find a house for me… .”
I wasn’t asking to buy it, I was just asking for information.
Since the shelter has been exposed, this time I intend to save two at all. One was for me and Hessia to stay, and the other was for the address to be written down in the academy documents.
“sister! It’s been a while since I’ve been back, so let’s go eat dinner!”
Hesia smiled and took Tia’s hand. The messy house was cleaned up by the kids.
“Is that so? Hessia can make as much time as she wants!”
“Uh! If it’s Tia unnie, I’m always happy too.”
Rien, wearing an apron, was holding a frying pan. It seemed that he did not want to pass up the opportunity to show off his culinary skills.
“When guests come, it’s time to show off your cooking skills!”
Dinner was tenderloin steak in mushroom soup. Hessia brought her sketchbook and showed her a drawing she had drawn with colored pencils.
“This is Tia. This is Sepia, and this is Tesha!”
Handing over the pictures one by one, Hesia laughed hehehehe. It was a cute drawing unique to children.
And in the last chapter, a house, a tree, and several people were drawn. Everyone there was smiling as if they were happy.
The funny thing is that pink hair, red hair, blonde hair, and even black hair are all holding chicken legs.
“I’ll give it to my sister if you want.”
Hesia presented a picture of Tia. Tia treated it like a treasure as if she really liked it.
“Wow… . I love it! I will be sure to put it in a frame.”
Until the moment she left, Tia carefully kept the gift.
After Tia left, Hessia went to her room and fell asleep. He used a lot of mana yesterday, and he seemed tired from talking for a long time today.
I looked around the living room and stretched once. A super-combat intuition told me there was something behind me.
“Who is it? come out.”
It wasn’t with intent to kill. If that was the case, I would have taken out the sword first without asking.
It was the spirit that slowly revealed itself. A high-level water and ice spirit that Kanion showed off during his battle with Naga.
“what… . Why are you?”
Are you going to take revenge? That was my first thought, but if it had been, it would have been a surprise attack, but it didn’t seem like it would come like this.
-There is something I want to ask of you.
I blinked my eyes and asked again.
“Request… ?”
Following the Ice Spirit, they arrived at Kanion’s basement. There, a woman was trapped in ice.
The woman closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
“Is this woman Lunia?”
I knew what happened between Kanion and the woman because I had heard the rough story. It turned out that he was more trash than I thought.
“And you say you want to save this woman?”
-Yes.
The heavily closed spirit conveyed its intention. Naturally, I also felt sorry for the woman being taken advantage of.
But that was no reason to help this woman.
“If I save this woman, will you make a contract with me?”
-Yes. I will make a contract with you.
Of course, it was not easy to make a contract with a higher level spirit.
Even Tia, who has high spirit sensitivity, has only signed contracts with intermediate level spirits.
“Gartea, why do you want to save this woman?”
After thinking about it, the spirit got lucky. I also had some predictions. Spirits are also beings with emotions.
-I love that woman.
The love of spirits is different from that of humans. Spirits have personalities just like spirits, and spirits that have been with a master for a long time have come to resemble that master.
Conversely, the Master sometimes resembles the spirit’s personality.
anyway.
It was definitely a good opportunity for a higher level spirit to come out first and offer the contract. And Runtar, who was a low-level spirit, became a high-level spirit when he signed a contract with me.
Then, if Gartea, a high-ranking spirit, made a contract with me, wouldn’t it be possible to become the spirit king?
It may be obvious, but of course there is only one spirit king for each type of spirit.
The fire spirit king is like only one of the fire spirits. And the strongest spirit becomes the spirit king.
Therefore, there are two ways for a higher level spirit to become the spirit king.
First, when the spirit king dies, the next strongest spirit succeeds the spirit king.
Second, a higher level spirit becomes stronger than the spirit king and has the right to succeed.
“great. It can be revived with necromancy. But the problem is… .”
Currently, my level of necromancy has reached level 5. While restoring Rien, the level of necromancy rose.
It was thanks to the accumulated experience points since he used his skill quite a bit while reviving the fallen children in the dungeon.
Previously, I had searched diligently for necromancy.
Since it was such a rare magic, information on necromancy was lacking, but in the academy’s library, it was possible to find out who could be revived by level of necromancy.
If level 4 could command undead that could speak, level 5 could create higher beings.
That’s right, a vampire.
However, the problem is that if you revive Runia, that Runia becomes a different existence from the previous Runia.
Basically, vampires burn to ashes when they stand in the sun.
Is that all? A vampire’s staple food is blood. It is fortunate that Lunia, who has become a vampire, does not attack humans.
However, if you make a level 4 undead, you will lose all your previous memories. I can’t even remember exactly who I am.
Could it be said that he revived Lunia?
―If that’s the case, there is a way.
“What?”
―You can use the blue jewel of the necromancer.
Necromancer’s Blue Gem.
Like Gamigin’s red jewel obtained from Arvia Island, it is an artifact that assists necromancy.
Like Gamigin’s Jewel, it can be used a total of 3 times.
The problem is, I don’t know where it is. It was only mentioned in the second half of the story.
“So where is it?”
Gartea brought something from a desk in the corner of the basement. It was a catalog of auction items.
It seems that Kanion often participated in auctions.
Watching the ice spirit flip through the catalog, I felt strange.
―It is up for a very low price at the next auction.
“Hey… . You all have plans.”
To be honest, I admired the Spirit’s preparedness.
He had plans of his own, so he must have asked me. Gartea pointed to one side of the catalog.
A blue gem was drawn there.
“But how do you know this is a necromancer’s jewel?”
―A long time ago, my master was interested in necromancy. There are things I saw and heard then.
is it. Well, there’s no law saying that a spirit has only one contractor.
“By the way, the starting price of the auction is 1 million ele?”
An item like this is only 1 million ele?
I was taken aback for a moment, but then calmed down. Occasionally, unidentified items are put up at auction at low prices.
Let’s stay calm. This is an auction item.
Still, no matter how you think about it, if this is enough… too cheap?
I couldn’t help but smile at the thought of strengthening Lien and Janet with the jewels already in my hands.
“great. Gartea. Instead, sign a contract with me first.”
Canyon also had a spirit king.
Of course, it was a dark spirit that moved at the cost of human lifespan.
Now it was my turn to have the Spirit King.
