Money-grubbing Necromancer (154)
There were many different races living on the continent of Caesar. Among them, the most representative races were dwarves, elves, gnomes, and barbarians.
A race of aliens who were considered one of the five great powers along with the Orcs.
One day, a war with the uninvited guests was inevitable.
The witch and the ice dragon.
He fought fiercely against both of them.
And it all went down the drain.
The power of the witches grew endlessly, and the power of the alien races diminished endlessly.
Whether barbarian or gnome.
Now only a few tribes remained and were fighting a desperate battle.
I thought it would end like this… … .
“Chief! The undead are gone!”
“Even the fortress is empty?”
“huh?”
The Apostle’s army suddenly retreated.
At first I suspected it might be a trap, but as the days passed the fort remained empty.
And that’s not enough… … .
“Hey, it’s sunshine!”
“It’s getting warmer!”
Warm sunlight poured into the eastern continent where the gnomes resided.
The gnomes lay on the ground with their faces drooping in the sunlight that they hadn’t seen in a long time. The chieftain was the same.
How long has it been since I’ve felt this kind of warmth!
That was when.
“hey.”
“……human?”
A human man and woman were staring at them and talking to them.
There was nothing strange about that.
Even though it was a continent where foreign races were the majority, that didn’t mean there were no humans.
“Nice to meet you. I am Kim Min-woo, commander of the Northern Resistance Army. Next to you is my summoner.”
Northern Resistance?
The gnome chieftain tilted his head and asked.
“Is this the first time you’ve heard of this?”
“I guess the news hasn’t spread this far. Anyway, can you see that the weather has gotten warmer now?”
“Uh… …Can you see?”
“I saved the continent. I caught that Bingryong guy, and I took the witch captive. I did it all.”
“You want me to believe that?”
“Do you know what a witch looks like?”
The nodding gnome chieftain.
Of course I knew.
It was the same for not only himself but also other gnomes.
“Then the story will be easier. Hey, come out.”
“W-Witch?!”
“Eek! It’s a witch!”
The gnomes were startled by the sight of a woman suddenly appearing from the side.
Witch Iris!
Gnomes were so notorious that everyone from children to the elderly could remember their appearance.
Merhen reached out her hand towards the gnomes who were running away in all directions.
The gnomes’ bodies suddenly stopped.
Then Merhen stared at Iris. Iris’ mouth opened like an automatic door.
“… … Calm down. I have no intention of hurting you.”
“… … ?”
Gnomes tilt their heads and roll their eyes.
“I reflected on the past and decided to follow Kim Min-woo here. Did you see? The weather cleared up.”
“Well, you reflected on it?”
“A wicked woman like you?”
“… … Ah. A villainess like me.”
Iris glares at the gnomes as if she’s suddenly angry.
-Open your eyes carefully.
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
At Merhen’s warning, his eyes quickly corrected themselves. His hands naturally clasped together politely.
The gnomes’ eyes widened when they saw that.
“Uh… … Are you really a witch?”
“There’s no way that villainess would do something like that… … ?”
Kim Min-woo said, looking at the gnomes.
“As you can see, I am a witch. So, if you have received a favor, it is only right to repay it, right?”
“Uh… … If you really caught Bingryong and took the witch captive, then yes. You have to pay.”
The gnome chieftain nodded quickly and answered.
It’s so sudden that I can’t quite believe it, but if all that’s said is true, then I’ve been greatly blessed.

Weren’t you thinking about the destruction of your race just a few days ago?
There, that human was smiling and talking, but he was a monster who treated the witch like his own puppets.
It was best to understand quickly when we were talking to each other with a smile.
In that sense, the gnome race was considered to be one of the most adept at worldly skills.
“I heard that gnomes make runes and use them in their equipment. Can I see them?”
“It’s not difficult.”
The chieftain handed over a dagger.
Kim Min-woo looked over the contents.
[Elsica’s Dagger〈1〉]
[Rank: Magic]
[Restriction: Level 200 or higher]
[It’s a sharp-looking dagger.]
〈Rune of Cutting II〉
[Effect 1. Bleeding becomes severe when pricked.]
[Effect 2. Agility, Stamina +20]
[Rune Additional Effect]
[20% increase in cutting power]
It was really just a plain magic dagger.
however…….
‘This rune, did it turn?’
It’s a rune.
This was something special.
I only put one in, but it was showing an effect that was enough to slap the cheeks of other item options.
‘There was such a honey-making technique?’
They say the world is wide and there are many hidden gates.
That was exactly the situation right now.
“Runes. What exactly is the mechanism?”
“Let me explain it simply. You can put up to three per piece of equipment. The lower the grade, the lower the number.”
“So you put one in because it’s magic?”
“That’s what it is.”
“And?”
“II This means that it is the second level of the rune. Magic can only be set up to level 2.”
“If it’s rare, it’s level 3, if it’s unique, it’s level 4. Is that how it is?”
“yes.”
“But for a chieftain, his sword skills are a bit… … disappointing.”
“… … We gnomes are not dwarves. We are not good at making things. We have been fighting for so long that all our weapons are broken.”
“You made the runes high, but you don’t have a weapon to put them on?”
“That’s pretty much it.”
That’s what happened.
This is why racial ties are important.
What if dwarves and gnomes joined forces?
That would have been a real demonstration of what a good gear is.
But what can I do?
I heard that the different races in this neighborhood don’t get along very well.
What’s more, I heard that since they all lived in different places, there wasn’t really anywhere where they could join forces.
Anyway.
“I really like this.”
“Our rune making technology is amazing.”
“Can it be put on accessories too?”
“Of course. But there are limitations.”
“What are the restrictions?”
“The accessories are small.”
“Yes.”
“If you put one on the ring, you’ll be fine. For the necklace, you can put two at most.”
Can you put one in the ring?
‘Isn’t that better?’
The maximum number of rings you can wear is 10.
Because I have ten fingers.
In other words, it also means that you can put 10 runes into the ‘ring’ category.
What about armor or helmets, on the other hand?
If you do well, you’ll get 3 hits.
So the ring has the highest potential.
“I really, really want to learn.”
Even if it means threatening with a knife.
Kim Min-woo started staring at the chief with glaring eyes.
The chieftain, who was rolling his eyes at the sight, said.
“Well, I can tell you… … but it’ll take a while to learn, is that okay? It’s not easy.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
It didn’t matter whether it was difficult or not.
It wasn’t his job to learn production techniques anyway.
That’s what skeletons do.
Just keep digging until you learn.
So, Kim Min-woo and the chief had a conversation.
“So, you want me to send the rune technician to the center?”
“Yes. You can teach me there. I’ve cleaned up everything that could be dangerous, so you don’t have to worry. Just come. I’ll take good care of you.”
“Don’t do that.”
“Thank you. By the way, have you all lost some weight?”
The chieftain laughed bitterly at those words.
“It was winter just a few days ago. It was hard to find food.”
“Please accept it.”
food?
I was afraid this would happen, so I packed it tightly into the subspace ring. Wasn’t the Oak Gate a place where the hungry could live?
“What is this? It looks like there’s a fish drawn on it.”
“It’s canned food. You can open it like this and eat it.”
The gnome chief opened the can as demonstrated and looked inside.
A steel can filled with what looks like fish flesh.
It was a strange sight.
He tasted the contents and opened his eyes wide.
“Oh, sue me!”
It’s been a while since I’ve tasted such fish!
The gnomes emptied the can of tuna in a hurry. The can didn’t end there.
“This is corn. This is canned fruit. This is meat… … .”
Gnomes gorging themselves on a variety of canned goods. Not only that, they were given a generous amount of all kinds of food, including bread.
The gnomes who had brought so many things, even carts, kept bowing their heads. Perhaps thanks to the warm support, their gazes became much more polite.
“Oh, thank you.”
“What? Then the technicians… … .”
“Just wait a moment.”
Soon after, all the rune technicians, including the chieftain, gathered together.
“Rune technology is rare. There are only thirty technicians here, including me. Is that okay?”
“Of course. Let’s go, then.”
Merhen gestured.
In an instant, the technicians’ bodies rose into the sky.
“Huh?”
“Are you going?”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s just to move quickly.”
Merhen, whose skills had improved to SSS-level, was able to do such things.
So, riding the wind.
A group of gnome technicians and Kim Min-woo began to move toward the center.
* * *
The Barbarian horde also met Kim Min-woo.
“human?”
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
“Huh, a witch?”
“Yes, I repented.”
Iris spoke with her head bowed as if she had given up. A conversation that was exactly like the gnome took place within her.
Warm food aid.
There is even talk of having to repay the ‘favor’.
After that.
“You want to see the tattoo?”
“I’m really curious.”
“It’s not difficult.”
Sigh.
Sigh.
The Barbarian chieftain, who had been licking his greasy fingers, took off his beast skin. A bear tattoo was visible on his chest, as if he was about to strike down with his paws. The tattoos did not end there. They were spread all over his ankles, back, and bald head.
Let’s take a closer look and the effect is revealed.
[Bear Tattoo]
[Step 4]
[Range: Chest]
[Effect 1. Strength increases by 12%]
[Eagle Tattoo]
[Step 4]
[Range: Wing Bone]
[Effect 1. Increases agility by 12%]
[Cheetah Tattoo]
[Step 4]
[Range: Ankle]
[Effect 1. Movement speed increased by 12%]
[Skull Tattoo]
[Step 4]
[Range: Head]
[Effect 1. Increases magic power by 12%]
‘under.’
All the honey in the world was gathered at this gate.
Kim Min-woo lamented.
I didn’t know about this hidden gate. It was no different from committing a crime until now.
“Tattoos. Are they limited to four locations?”
“No. You can add as much as you want if you want.”
“But why do you only have four, Chief?”
“Because I can’t take it anymore.”
“Can’t accept it?”
“I heard that the past chieftains had up to eight tattoos. But four was my limit.”
“What happens if I draw more than that?”
“It does not work.”
“Do you have to draw it to know?”
“You’ll know when you carve it. You’ll get the feeling. Should I carve it for you?”
“Oh, just one thing before that.”
“Speak.”
“Do I have to draw it as big as the chieftain? Or is it not okay to draw it small?”
Chest, wing bones, skull, and ankles.
Although it doesn’t look that big when you look at the area, the size of the tattoo was so big that I thought it covered my entire body.
If you do that in Korea, it will be a bit difficult to live there.
A small tattoo would be acceptable as a hobby, but that felt like a full body tattoo.
“You want to draw small?”
“yes.”
“It’s so cool, why?”
The chief asked again as if he really couldn’t understand.
“It’s just a matter of taste. Please respect that. If you draw it small, is there a difference in performance?”
“Of course. The amount of ingredients that go in is different.”
“What if I hit it with as many ingredients as I can when it’s small?”
“I don’t know because I’ve never done that before.”
“Then I guess I should try it out now.”
“Okay. Go get the ingredients. I don’t have any.”
“Yeah.”
I defeated some nearby monsters and brought them some materials.
I decided to get it tattooed in one step for convenience since I only needed to confirm it.
That too, near the ankle.
According to the chieftain, it was an easy structure to erase, so I was able to try it without any burden. When I tattooed it in pill-sized pieces several times.
[A level 1 cheetah tattoo will be tattooed on your ankle!]
[Effect 1. Movement speed increases by 3%]
“Is it okay?”
“It works. I don’t know why it’s like this, though.”
Kim Min-woo smiled brightly.
Why do you want to get a small tattoo?
Korean sentiment is sentiment, but decisively.
‘I can’t draw skeletons that big.’
To begin with, they are just skin and bones.
There wasn’t any room to continue the tattoo. It was best to just get a small tattoo on the bone. But now that I look at it, I think that might work.
They say that the chieftain level has a limit of four tattoos.
What about Cedric then?
I’m really curious.
“I really, really want to learn.”
“Let’s shake hands.”
Kim Min-woo extended his hand.
The hooked barbarian chieftain began to exert strength.
It’s pretty strong though.
This ability is well over 1,000. It’s not like you can go somewhere and be pushed around by force. As I gave it a little strength, the chieftain’s face started to get hotter.
Right after.
“pass.”
“yes.”
“You pass.”
“yes.”
“No, I said I passed.”
“Yes, I heard.”
“Ugh… … !”
The Barbarian chieftain now reveals his true colors.
Immediately after, his knees began to buckle.
“Is it a bit strong?”
“I, I admit it. I lost. So let go of this hand… … .”
“I want to learn tattooing.”
“I’ll tell you! So stop now… … .”
“With all your heart?”
“I will study drawing small things with all my heart! It hurts!”
“great.”
Only then did Kim Min-woo let go of her hand.
For those who originally wanted to test their strength, showing it clearly was the right answer.
That way, the order of superiority can be properly determined.
Just like right now.
He said this while tapping the chieftain on the shoulder.
“Call the technicians. Let’s go. To the center.”
* * *
When the gnome engineers arrived at the center, all the other races were already gathered there.
The Barbarian of tattoos.
Elf of Alchemy.
Even the dwarves of the master craft.
‘I finally collected all four sacred weapons.’
While feeding the fragments, Whiteyi gathered the technicians of the four races in one place. You might say that they have already learned the dwarf and elf stuff.
‘Even so, it’s still a D-rank.’
The level of production technology was low.
What if you have a teacher?
Naturally, the speed of leveling up would also increase. Now that the number of skeletons had increased significantly as the magic power increased, it was not a problem to split the number and jump four times.
A group of different races looking at each other awkwardly.
“But over there.”
“What about Orcs?”
-Profit?
A group of orcs tilting their heads.
Urkan came out and spoke as a representative.
-Chwiik! I’m in charge of odd jobs! If you have anything to work on, tell me!
A strong and long-lasting oak.
It’s the perfect job for odd jobs.
The other races were supposed to take care of all the annoying tasks while teaching skeletons.
The skeletons were going to absorb every single second of teaching during that time.
match!
He gathered the attention of the four races and applauded.
“I know it’s awkward. But let’s get to know each other better. We’ve all been through hard times.”
“Adventure.”
“what…….”
That wasn’t a wrong statement.
Did they have to suffer alone? Other races probably had a hard time too.
I knew that.
It was just a little awkward because we suddenly met.
Summoned a horde of skeletons.
Level 370.
There’s the necklace I got this time, and it has 150 abilities on it.
The current horsepower was well over 1,400.
Converted to mana, it’s over 14,000.
How about converting it into a skeleton apprentice?
It easily exceeds 5,600.
If you divide it into four equal parts, it’s about 1,400 per race technology.
Considering that I summoned about a thousand when I first came to Oak Gate, this was truly a huge step forward.
Daughter!
Gnomes and barbarians are surprised by the sight of swarming skeletons.
If they were surprised by the quantity, the elves and dwarves were different.
In just a few days, the skeletons’ appearance had changed beyond recognition.
“Oh, now you’re feeling a bit like a blacksmith. You’re even carrying a bone hammer.”
“… … bone flask?”
Apprentice blacksmith and apprentice alchemist.
These were on the skeleton job advancement list.
Learning rune skills and tattoos might add more to the list of job changes.
Like a rune technician.
Like a tattoo artist.
Things like that.
[Skeleton Apprentice Blacksmith 203 teaches ‘Obern’ the dwarven crafting technique… … .]
[Skeleton Apprentice Alchemist 404 teaches alchemy to ‘Elrond’… ]
[Skeleton Apprentice 303 teaches Ultron the rune making technique… … .]
[Skeleton Apprentice 1,707 gives tattooing to ‘Tobaba’… ]
[Learning different crafting skills!]
[Sharing collective intelligence!]
[Your crafting skills will increase very quickly!]
A pleasant message began to emerge.
fantasy,
