Money-grubbing Necromancer (155)
Witch Iris.
Merhen was always by her side.
“excuse me…….”
-why.
“That bathroom… … .”
-Go and come back. Don’t move. I know everything without even looking.
“yes.”
Iris nodded hurriedly and ran towards the bathroom.
Even when eating.
Even when you sleep.
Merhen was orbiting around her like a satellite.
But, does that make you feel bad?
‘… … Rather, isn’t it good?’
To be honest, it was rather good.
The reason was simple.
Swish.
As Merhen reached out, she saw a cup of water gently approaching her.
gulp.
Merchen drinking water.
Because each and every one of those small actions contained profound magical secrets.
It was the same when I just pulled out the water cup. I just moved it using my mana, but the water inside didn’t drip at all.
What if you tried the same thing?
The water in the glass probably shook as if it had been hit by a typhoon.
Of course, she wouldn’t have poured it out since she’s a witch herself.
A wizard who defeated the self-proclaimed great witch Ananke.
‘I’m not sure if it’s true, but… … .’
At least I thought I knew it wasn’t all a bluff.
He calls all wizards in the world except himself ‘fools’.
An arrogant absolute being who even looks down on witches like himself as if they were insignificant insects.
There was only one case where her attitude suddenly disappeared.
-Minwoo! Did you come to see me?
I saw Merhen’s face, brightening like sunlight.
When I was with Kim Min-woo.
Because back then, I would react like a truly emotional person, not like a blunt and arrogant undead.
‘Why on earth do I love it so much?’
Necromancers and the undead.
Of course I know that they are a master-slave relationship.
however…….
‘Is it possible for someone like me to die and not be able to live?’
No, to put it bluntly, even a proper witch is just something to be played with like a toy?
If the summoner’s power was at that level, then honestly, it would be nothing to say even if he just twisted his master’s neck.
Loyalty?
That didn’t mean anything to a summoner like me. If I wanted to, I could lift those restrictions in an instant.
But I still remain loyal.
No, it wasn’t just about being loyal, it was about being completely unable to live.
I can’t understand what on earth Kim Min-woo gave her to make her act like that.
Then, Kim Min-woo said while stroking Merhen’s head.
“You’ve worked hard.”
-No. It doesn’t bother me at all. I’m just watching an idiot.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
-However much!
Merhen and Kim Min-woo disappeared.
After a while.
Merhen appeared with her arms crossed and a sullen face and stared at Iris.
-Hey, you idiot.
“Yes, okay?”
Iris quickly straightens her back and responds to the sudden change in title.
Merhen said, frowning as if she was annoyed.
– Ananke, is he that tall?
“yes?”
-Speak quickly, I’m annoyed.
“Of course it’ll be strong… right?”
-than me?
“that…….”
Iris turned her head urgently. When was the last time she saw Ananke?
The ‘entrance ceremony’ where apprentice witches gather in the first city.
At this time, it was customary for all seven great witches to gather on the platform and give blessings.

That was the last time I remember seeing it. That was hundreds of years ago.
“… … I don’t know either.”
-I don’t know?
“Yes… … I’m sorry. But I really don’t know. Ananke-nim has never shown his power… … I can only guess.”
-What?
“The other five great witches changed once in a while, but Ananke and the other one are different. They have lived a long time and have even maintained their positions… … .”
-You must have become stronger than I remember?
“Wouldn’t that be so?”
-Ha… … This is really annoying.
“Why, why are you doing that… … .”
-Minwoo, you don’t trust me!
“yes?”
―What if those arch-witches come? Do you think I can kill you right then? Are you doubting my skills right now?
Iris rolled her eyes.
Before we knew it, the conversation was becoming more urgent and life-threatening.
―But what’s more annoying is that I couldn’t answer either. Because my powers haven’t fully returned. Against those idiots, this Merhen… … See… … .
“Uh… … Lady Merhen, you did nothing wrong. As you said, it’s because your power hasn’t fully returned yet… … .”
-That’s what I’m saying. You, I need to plant some magic bombs in your heart and brain.
“……yes?”
―If I wink at her once, her whole body will shatter into pieces and she should die immediately without even feeling any pain. If that girl has become stronger, then that’s what she should do. Minwoo is right. What if the Great Witch comes? We have to consider variables even if it’s a 0.01% possibility. Am I right? Right?
“Uh uh… … .”
―It’s no use opposing it. Just because an idiot like you resists, it doesn’t mean I won’t plant it. It’ll just be a little annoying. Tell me quickly. Are you going to plant it or not?
“Oh, if you don’t plant it… … .”
―I’ll make you want to plant it. Very slowly from now on. You did the same thing, didn’t you? You killed all the living things here. Like a machine, without any sense of guilt. Right?
“… … .”
―Me too. So, you’d better answer now.
Merhen said with eerie eyes.
This was no joke.
It’s pure sincerity.
The answer was set.
“Poetry, I will plant it.”
-Yeah. I thought about it carefully.
Merhen answered with a big smile.
If Minwoo is worried.
If only I could feel at ease.
He just did that.
but.
The thought that I would kill all the great witches in the future became firm.
Because of those fools, I dared to be suspected. Especially that Ananke.
-Don’t worry too much. If the Great Witch doesn’t come, then we can just eat her instead.
“I guess so?”
―Yeah. Don’t worry about it. Whether you’re senior or experienced. That doesn’t mean anything to me. You’re all idiots. Well, let’s go. Quickly.
“Well, it’ll be okay to take it off later, right?”
-Yeah. It’s easier than eating. Don’t worry.
Merhen said indifferently.
To be honest, it wasn’t any easier than eating, but that didn’t matter at all.
Iris?
It’s fate to die anyway.
There was no particular reason.
According to Minwoo, it’s clearly written in the gate clearing conditions that you have to kill him. It’s not like I’ll never go out of the gate again.
You have to kill to get out.
I could have given as much indifferent consolation as I wanted.
If Minwoo is 100.
Because Iris’s value to her was close to zero.
No, rather, it broke through the low point and entered the minus.
– Then, I will begin the surgery. Make up your mind to accept it. That way, it will be easier to attach.
“……yes.”
When such a short time had passed.
Merhen nodded and said.
-If you take a deep breath and wake up, it’ll all be over.
Iris was instantly immersed in water.
* * *
[Skeleton apprentices’ crafting experience greatly increases!]
[Intensive production experience creates new skills!]
[Trainees can now use ‘Rune Crafting (F)’!]
[The fourth job change, ‘Apprentice Rune Maker’ has been created!]
[Learning another crafting skill!]
[The power of collective intelligence!]
[A group of trainees discover the secrets of tattooing!]
[‘Tattooist (F)’… … .]
[Fifth previous job, ‘Trainee Tattooist’… … .]
“Oh, you’re here!”
Kim Min-woo opened his eyes wide to the sound of a message ringing while he was sleeping and jumped up and shouted.
Exactly 2 days.
New professions have been created for trainees: tattooist and rune maker.
As we moved from the Witch’s Tower to the so-called Training Center, we saw numerous skeletons diligently receiving training.
The awkwardness of the first day was fleeting.
Before long, the gnomes and barbarians were looking at the skeletons with warm faces. They listened to the training diligently without any complaints.
He was so smart that if you taught him one, he would realize five.
These are the students who are so-called fun to teach. So, I can’t help but look at them with warm eyes.
Kim Min-woo also watched the scene with a warm face.
‘very good.’
The most important thing is to learn the skill. Once you acquire it, you can increase your proficiency by using it on your own without a teacher.
Tattooing and rune making.
Now that you’ve learned both skills, you’ll be able to draw from them like a never-ending stream of sweet water.
‘I thought I’d learn it in just two days.’
I found that collective intelligence is actually more powerful than I thought.
Maybe it’s because we share the category of production technology, but when I learn something, I get inspiration like lightning and that breaks through.
In this way, the connection was running cleanly.
Truly, this fantasy continent was like a treasure mountain to Kim Min-woo.
There, the awkwardness between the different races over the past two days seemed to have eased somewhat, and they were seen laughing and talking to each other. The same was true for the orcs who were in charge of chores.
‘That makes sense.’
Witch’s Tower The facilities here were really good. For the alien races who had worked so hard and rolled around, there was a warm bed, three delicious meals a day, enough sleep, and even warm weather.
There isn’t much to be angry about, so the community can run smoothly.
At first, they talked competitively about how much they had suffered, cried and laughed, and sympathized. That’s how the relationship between different races developed…
That was when.
[Amazing!]
[You have discovered the true clear conditions for the ‘Continent of Caesar’!]
[Accordingly, all the true clear conditions are revealed!]
[You can proceed with the existing clear method, but if you follow the true clear method, you may be given an amazing reward!]
“huh?”
What are the true clear conditions?
What is this?
That was when.
[True Clear Conditions]
[1. We will bring about unity among the major races and increase the power of the continent.]
[2. Prevent the intervention of the Dragon Army and the Eastern Witches’ Association.]
Kim Min-woo’s eyes lit up when he saw the message.
‘Come to think of it…….’
It was a gate that started with Continental Salvation (S+) in the first place.
Considering that, that phrase felt natural.
Otherwise, the same picture will come out again, just like when Mutakta disappeared and reached out again.
Harmony was also an understandable phrase. Rather than the five races fighting each other to the death, it would be closer to saving the continent if they joined forces.
‘Condition number 1 is nothing special.’
The higher-ups who had already gathered here had entered a mood of reconciliation.
If we could create a mixed city of different races in the center of the continent and have them interact with each other, it might be easier to achieve harmony than expected. After all, it wouldn’t be that difficult to move since everything was ruined anyway.
There may be some detailed issues, but you can take your time and take care of them. The really difficult condition was number 2.
Prevent intervention by both groups.
‘Can this be done?’
I can’t guarantee this, honestly.
If Merhen and Cedric were capable of taking down even the Arch-Witch or the Elder Dragon, then maybe they could do it.
But, if you look at it objectively, it wasn’t like that.
At best, he could handle the level of seniority and expertise. That was why he asked Merhen and asked her to plant magic that could subdue Iris.
‘just in case.’
It’s highly likely that the Great Witch won’t come, but who knows what will happen in this world?
It’s stupid not to prepare when you can.
That’s why he asked to plant the bomb even at the cost of damaging Merhen’s pride.
‘I’m sorry, but.’
But it’s a fact.
Still can’t defeat the Arch-Witch or the Ancient Dragon.
Merhen is cute because she’s cute.
A strategy is a strategy.
That was when.
Merhen, who had come close to me as if she had used teleportation magic, spoke quickly.
-Minwoo! Minwoo is really a genius!
“huh?”
―The alarm spell placed outside the dimension has sounded. I can feel it. A familiar magic. Anankeya. That fool himself has come.
No, wait a minute.
I was prepared, but I didn’t think it would happen.
You really came?
Merhen spoke energetically to Kim Min-woo, whose face was frozen hard.
-Don’t worry. Even if that idiot gets stronger, he can never stop the bomb he planted. Even Death Lord can’t stop that, right?
Oh yeah?
Then it’s a relief.
Even though a lot of time has passed since the sealing, I don’t think he’s become stronger than Death Lord.
First of all, it was said that escape was definitely possible.
“So when do you think you’ll arrive?”
-Um… … 3 minutes? Oh, we’ve entered the planet now. We’re flying here.
Before I knew it, the Great Witch was right in front of me.
fantasy,
