Money-grubbing Necromancer (140)
Ambassadors
The next morning.
From the swordsman, the new spear, the poison horse, to the king of swords.
Making a phone call wasn’t difficult. Asking for a simple favor, like sparring with Isabella, was no problem.
Black Sea Angle.
It was a place I hadn’t heard of in a very long time.
I headed inside, with Isabella following behind me.
There were already four Awakened people gathered there.
“Thank you, elders. You are so kind to give us a seat.”
“Minwoo, I will grant any request you make.”
The representative, Geomseon, looked at me with a blissful face and a hollow smile. The other three elders’ reactions were no different.
In an instant, the king of the fight came running towards me and started to hug me roughly with his muscular arms.
“Hahaha! This pretty thing! Thank you! Thanks to you, I really feel like practicing these days!”
“Sir, I feel a little sick… … .”
“Oh my. Why is this young man so weak? Should I buy him some medicine?”
It wasn’t that this side was weak, but that the King’s power was beyond imagination.
‘What strength do I have even without my gear on…?’
at that time.
Shin Chang, who had stopped the King of Kwon, spoke calmly.
“Thanks to you, I’ve learned a lot. I always thought it would be fortunate if I didn’t regress… … Thank you.”
Even the Dokma, who was nodding his head vigorously while making a noise behind him.
Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like all three elders had made some progress.
‘but.’
Even though the Sword Master was the best, it doesn’t mean that the other three Awakened ones were far behind.
It was only a difference of half a step, but even that was a talent that would rank among the best in the world.
In that state, I heard something of a profound realization, so it wouldn’t have been strange if there had been progress since then.
Wasn’t that already 4 months ago?
Since Geomseon had awakened the Simgeom in just one month, four months was enough time for others to gain something as well.
Anyway.
I received the number in the past, but I didn’t have any immediate use for it, so I just sent the occasional greeting and donation.
I thought I should take advantage of this opportunity.
I handed out earphones to four people.
“This…….”
“It was developed by Ilseong. If you put it in your ear, it will translate.”
Isabella doesn’t speak Korean.
At best, you can use English fluently as a second foreign language.
All four of them knew some level of English because they traveled overseas during their prime, but equipment was essential for smooth interpretation.
Of course, Isabella also had an interpreter in her ear. I introduced her while having her by my side.
“Elders, are you familiar with it?”
“Oh, I know. His name is… … Iza… … What was it?”
“Youngest, these days, electricity is readily available even in the mountains. Watch TV and live a little. Isn’t that Miss Isabella?”
“Oh, that’s right! Isabella!”
Only then did the King clap his hands as if he realized the name.
“Oh, dear. I’m sorry, Miss Isabella. I don’t know much about what’s going on outside. This is what the phone is for.”
The cute flip phone in the king’s hand was so old that it was starting to look dirty.
“… … It’s okay. But doesn’t someone like King Kwon have a lot of money?”
“Money? I gave all that to the teachers. And this, even though it’s old, it’s still usable. As long as the phone can make calls, that’s fine.”
“Oh, I see.”
Isabella nods.
Then, Geomseon, who was staring at her and Kim Minwoo, said.
“So, you want me to spar with this kid?”
“you’re right.”
“What about your skills?”
That moment.
Isabella said, taking a step forward.
“I’ve never lost to anyone in my life. Not since I was eighteen.”
“It’s a good time.”
Geomseon nods happily.
The reactions of other elderly people were no different.
Because he was smiling and laughing, perhaps feeling satisfied with his youthful energy.
“Please take good care of me. Although he may be a bit blunt, he is a genuine person.”
“I think I have the general idea. Okay.”
I looked at Isabella.
“call?”
“… … Good. But it has to be the best.”
“Of course. Don’t worry about the quality.”
Because the battery would pop out enough to slap American companies back and forth. That’s how Isabella came forward.

“Do you have any equipment?”
“Oh, right. Even though we retired and threw away some equipment, we’re still more energetic than the active players. Should we both wear them?”
“My equipment is pretty good, but… … .”
The king answered with a smirk.
“Miss Isabella, you worry a lot. We haven’t aged in vain, so you don’t have to worry. Then, brothers, I’ll go first?”
“Okay.”
The King stepped forward.
His body began to fill with equipment, one by one. Obviously, the quality was not as good as Isabella’s.
Lots of legends.
In ancient times, there were only one or two at most.
The difference in the equipment’s abilities was overwhelming.
Still.
When the battle started.
pop!
The King of Fighters was one step ahead, slamming Isabella and throwing punches.
A strange light appeared in Kim Min-woo’s eyes.
‘wow.’
The level of the King of Fists is clearly high.
A thousand is just over.
There are also many titles and skills.
However, it is clear that the power of the King of Fists that we knew was not to the extent of turning back time.
The fundamentals themselves have changed.
The King of Power was running wild to the point where I couldn’t help but say that.
Strong pressure from the start.
Isabella’s eyes frowned slightly.
It seemed like he was confused about things not going as he had planned.
“The movement is nice!”
On the contrary, the king of the fight spoke with admiration. Even though all of Isabella’s S-class skills were activated, he seemed to have the upper hand.
Two old men, Shin Chang and Dok Ma, look at it with leisurely faces.
A world beyond the material world.
Since hearing the words of the swordsman, all three of them have pondered and pondered the subject without fail every single day.
When you catch a glimpse of something, even if it’s just a small clue.
As if they were shedding their old skin, their skills had improved by leaps and bounds beyond comparison.
The King of Kwon was a prime example.
“… … I will do it properly.”
Isabella’s eyes became bleak.
Immediately afterwards, a brilliant halo of light appeared over her body. Item activation and SS-rank skill activation.
It’s all being used.
The King’s eyes also became serious when he saw that. The power of Isabella using Templar and Isabella not using Templar was completely different.
There was no way an Awakened person of the level of a King would not know that.
“Then, I will go with all my heart.”
The moment Isabella nodded and her new form disappeared.
Phew!
There was an explosion.
Right after.
“Coolook!”
Isabella staggers back, vomiting blood with an explosive sound.
Her brows were furrowed as if she had seen something incomprehensible.
When approaching the King at high speed.
I activated all my defensive skills as I felt a chill run down my spine.
It was an instinct close to survival.
‘The defense must have been thorough… … .’
At that moment, even though the fist did not directly touch my body, a tremendous shock was transmitted to my abdomen.
A devastating blow that will destroy all of your defensive skills!
It was a sight that was completely incomprehensible, especially since all the equipment was activated.
Because I can’t guarantee that no one in the world can easily stop me in this state.
But I was subdued.
If the King hadn’t reduced his power at the last minute… … .
‘It must have been a fatal wound.’
Of course, he wouldn’t have died thanks to the item’s effect, but it was still a threatening blow.
“… … What was that just now?”
“Oh, this? It’s called a heart fist, a fist of the heart. Miss Isabella is also quite the hitter. She even made me use this.”
“Mind… … Fist? Is it a skill?”
“Should I call it a skill? It’s a bit mysterious. Anyway, I’m sorry to Miss Isabella, but it’s expensive. I can’t teach you anything.”
“… … Then who can teach me?”
“Well, you’ll have to ask the original author.”
The place where the King of Power gave a sneaky nod.
Kim Min-woo was standing there.
“… … ?”
Isabella blinked.
‘authorship?’
Are you saying that Kim Min-woo taught me that right?
It was a difficult statement to understand.
Of course, I knew from yesterday’s sparring that Kim Min-woo’s skills were great. But the technique that the king of boxing showed just now… … .
‘It’s a completely different dimension?’
It was a realm too far removed to be expressed simply as a skill.
How did you tell me that?
And if you have such great skill that you can tell that, why didn’t you use it in the sparring yesterday?
“Does it require a lot of mana to use?”
“It is necessary. But it’s not to the point where it can’t be used. You can just adjust it.”
Then shouldn’t Kim Min-woo have used it too?
Kim Min-woo scratched his cheek at her curious gaze. It was because he thought he could guess what she was thinking.
But what can I do?
This body has a terrible lack of talent for learning anything.
How could it be that I’ve been swinging my sword like crazy until now, but not even one basic skill has been created?
Silence for a moment.
Isabella, who had come closer, said.
“I want to learn too. Heart Rights. What should I give you?”
Return?
She no longer had such a thing in her mind. Rather than practicing alone, it was much more important to hear even one paragraph about this Fist of the Heart.
For himself and for his home country, France.
“Haha! That’s really reckless. But, wouldn’t it take more than a penny or two to learn that?”
The three old men nodded in agreement with the king’s words. They were truly excellent wind catchers.
An unexpected sharp kill pass.
It would be foolish not to use it.
Kim Min-woo stared at Isabella. It would be a lowly thing to do to immediately spit out an answer when asked to know something.
A true expert is… … .
“First, please work hard as a public relations ambassador. I will contact you in a few days. Bye.”
First, let it sit until it is fully cooked.
* * *
“If there was one thing that our Guryong Guild lacked, it was the highest-grade elixir! However, through the great decision of our leader, we too have been supplied with this powerful elixir! At this very moment, our Guryong Guild will go to Korea to receive the highest-grade elixir, and once again, in a different form, we will compete with the Ilseong Guild in good faith… .”
Numerous cameras flashed along with the powerful shout of the Guildmaster of the Nine Dragons.
A hot speech.
A warm hug with Chairman Li and cheers from the people.
After the splendid showmanship.
Chairman Li Zemin approached the Kowloon Guildmaster and said:
“Since things have come to this, let’s pick at least one more. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I will do my best.”
“Liang Xiaojun, you too have learned a lot.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace that is like the sea!”
Liang Xiaojun bows his head deeply.
There are about ten members of the Kowloon Guild heading to Korea. Of those, only five are receiving training.
Originally, there was no way that Liang Xiaojun, who was low level, would have participated in this expedition.
But now it was different.
The status of the Kowloon Guild has been lowered through the Great Battle. On the other hand, Liang Xiaojun is emerging as a new hope for the Chinese people by breaking France’s record.
‘I guess I’ll have to make good use of it for the time being.’
In order to appease public sentiment and demonstrate the soundness of the Kowloon Guild, the presence of a new star player was essential.
Liang Xiaojun was the perfect Awakener for the role.
So what can we do?
You have no choice but to use one of the five cards.
‘It’s not a loss though.’
Gate battle?
Anyway, it is a structure in which even low-level players participate. Even if you raise Liang Xiaojun, you can use it sufficiently.
‘He’s quick-witted too.’
What can I do, he’s a Chinese hero?
When such words are exchanged, it is natural to tense up your shoulders, but Liang Xiaojun was different.
Because he was showing an attitude of being even more careful and self-restrained, and bowing down to himself.
I heard that the family is also living quietly. At least they are good at understanding the subject. At least for the time being, they will be able to raise him.
Even if you change your mind.
The surveillance network of the Kowloon Guild was everywhere. If they wanted to, they could even find out the number of Liang Xiaojun’s fluff.
So the Kowloon Guild boarded a private plane and departed for Korea.
Of course, there was no hospitality like Isabella’s.
It may not have been like that before, but it is even more so now. Korea and China are not on good terms to begin with.
Didn’t they suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the Ilseong Guild, which was once considered the 5th best guild in Korea?
Although both governments made statements about reconciliation on the outside, the emotional rift among the people remained deep.
Wheee… … .
A quiet airport.
The Guryong Guild members who had unloaded their luggage waited for a moment.
Hong Tao looked around at everyone and spoke with a determined look in his eyes.
“For the sake of our China, we must learn at least one more thing. Wasin Sangdam! Everyone, chew on this word over and over again!”
“yes!”
The members of the Guryong Guild answered with shining eyes. The incident had already occurred.
Since it had come to that, I had to learn at least one more thing, even if it meant licking Kim Min-woo’s gallbladder. If I had the skills, I would be able to do anything in the future.
Soon several vehicles approached the Kowloon Guild.
“Let’s ride.”
The members of the Kowloon Guild board quietly.
The vehicle was headed straight to the Ilseong Training Center.
The bodyguard wearing sunglasses said.
“Please go inside. The young master will be waiting for you.”
Hong Tao, the leader of the Kowloon Guild, nodded as the representative.
After receiving intensive training at this training center and staying for a few days, I was supplied with elixir.
The main event was to once again have a showdown with the Ilseong Guild.
So ten Chinese people entered the center.
Soon, I was able to see Kim Min-woo.
“Thank you for coming such a long way.”
Kim Min-woo greets with a big smile.
That was the moment.
Kim Min-woo and Liang Xiaojun.
Our eyes met each other.
A message appeared before each of them.
To Kim Min-woo.
[You’ve found your first follower. How you use it is up to you.]
A message like this.
And to Liang Xiaojun.
[Loyalty buried in deep sleep is awakened. You are ready to follow Him.]
‘……huh?’
Kim Min-woo tilts his head at the unexpected situation.
That was when.
dump!
Liang Xiaojun knelt down.
At this moment, I couldn’t control my emotions that were boiling over like an active volcano.
His hands were trembling.
Countless memories continued to surge forward like a tidal wave.
Countless memories of following him in pursuit of great knowledge.
He was a great ruler.
He was a great founder.
He was a great avenger.
And he was a fallen ruler.
And he himself… … .
He was a follower who yearned for him endlessly.
Even when everything falls apart, shatters, and falls apart.
A follower who was prepared to endure a long wait, even if it meant that it was not over yet.
I waited for what seemed like an eternity.
A vague belief that this is not the end.
That’s right.
Really, it wasn’t the end!
I realized it instinctively.
Death Lord.
What kind of existence does that mean?
And even who is standing in front of you.
It’s clearly a memory of another unknown being.
I couldn’t resist the injection of that memory. It was as if I had become one with the person in the memory.
His vision became blurry.
Before he knew it, Liang Xiaojun was on his knees, with two streams of hot tears running down his cheeks.
fantasy,
