Damn Necromancer (47)
Apostolic Training(1)
‘The room is big and spacious.’
The furniture is also antique.
Just by looking at it, the owner of the room must have a fairly high status.
There was one more peculiarity. There were alcohol bottles lying around in the room.
I looked at the mirror.
The appearance hasn’t changed at all.
The skills and abilities in the status window also remained the same.
‘hmm… … .’
First of all, understanding the situation was a priority. After seeing Hayang and gesturing for him to hide, Kim Min-woo, who saw the door, shouted.
Kim Min-woo shouted after seeing the door.
“Well, is there anyone there?”
“Oh my! Confucius, did you cough?”
The door slid open and a man who looked like a servant bowed his head and greeted me.
“It will be breakfast soon…” … .”
“That’s it. “Close the door and come over here.”
“Yeah… … ?”
“hurry!”
As I spoke with wide eyes, the guy hurriedly closed the door and ran towards me.
“Oh, Gokuja. “What’s going on?”
Oh Gongjara.
It seems certain that he is of some sort of high rank.
“Your name.”
“… … It’s me! Jang-sam! Hasn’t it already been almost a year since we were together with Confucius? How can I say my name… … .”
“My memory is hazy.”
“… … yes?”
“I think it’s because I drank too much yesterday.”
Jang Sam tilted his head at those words.
Soon after, he saw the liquor bottles lying around in the corner of the room and nodded with a look of disbelief.
“Just briefly explain my situation and what you know about this place. Even something simple is fine.”
“Uhm… … therefore… … “This is the Apostolic Alliance.”
[Acquire the keyword, ‘Apostles’.]
Jang Sam continued his explanation.
Apostolic training.
A union of four factions.
Wukongja said that he, Baek So-cheon, was the secret child of a man named Sado Ryeonju.
“Ryeonju was always looking for it, and he found it just over a year ago. Afterwards, Oh Gongja came here to Sadyoryun.”
“If I rolled in like that overnight, my situation wouldn’t be so good, would it?”
“uh… … that is… … .”
“Tell me honestly.”
“You haven’t shown me anything since you came here… … Oh, there is one… … .”
“what is that. “Are you good at drinking?”
Nod.
Jang Sam nodded.
“yes. My martial arts achievements aren’t very high, and it’s a bit… … “Maybe it’s because they’ve been so lazy all year long, but now they just want to do it.”
Are you saying that you feel like you’re so bad that other guys don’t even pay attention to you?
Well, maybe it’s not that bad?
“Jang San-ah.”
“Yes, Confucius.”
“I thought this was Sapa.”
“That’s right.”
“Then, why do you want to do that even if you raise a corpse?”
“dead body? Oh, you mean necromancy or necromancy?”
“Well, something similar.”
“of course? You might not know this from political factions, but Sapa doesn’t care about such things at all. “Do you think a demon would do that?”
This profession is a necromancer.
In the martial arts world, it was no wonder that he was seen as someone who could be killed just by summoning a skeleton.
‘Is that why the start was set in Sapa?’
It was fortunate.
If Sapa had been treated as a public figure, all skull summons would have been sealed.
Let’s summarize the situation.
Confucius became a high-ranking member of Sapa.
The name was Baek So-cheon, but it felt like the skin was covered with his own skin.
‘Well, it happens quite a bit at the gate.’
This was supposed to be like that.
Anyway.
It looks like he’s being treated like a bitch.

‘so?’
What should I do now to clear the gate?
I remembered the name of the gate.
‘B+, Star Wars.’
From what I can see, it looks like they’re inviting popular guys to have a fight.
Raise your status by fighting with the other four Confucius?
Recognized as a successor?
Or maybe there was another way to clear it.
“Jang San-ah.”
“Yes, master.”
“Is there anything big happening these days?”
“… … “A big incident?”
“okay. If anything comes to mind, please tell me.”
“If that’s the case… … After all, it must be Yongbong branch, right?”
[Keyword, Yongbong Branch Acquired!]
“Yongbong Branch?”
“yes. All of the popular review indices on the Jeongsama side are coming together to compete. “It takes place once every 100 years.”
Whoa.
This thing looks kind of angular.
“What is the standard for doing well?”
“The Demonic Cult, the Murim Alliance, and our Apostolic Association will each select ten people. Then you will be recognized. “With the latter index doing well.”
“Am I not among them?”
“… … of course?”
“To make it exist?”
“You need to show me something, right?”
aha.
I have a rough idea.
at that time.
Jang Sam asked cautiously.
“Well, are you sure that Confucius wants to participate in the Yongbong branch?”
“Then why not?”
“Oh, no. It works, but… … Wouldn’t it be very difficult to get nominated now? … ”
“why?”
Jang Sam said while scratching his head.
“that is… … “Our Apostolic Training is based on a points system.”
“score?”
“yes. The Apostolic Association gives you a mission ticket. If you achieve one of them, your score goes up. “I’ve been doing that for a year already.”
“Then there must be some people who have already accumulated a lot of points?”
“… … Yes? “Ilgongja has already surpassed 10,000 points and is the undisputed number one.”
“What score do I have?”
“… … Of course it’s 0 points, right?”
Damn it.
“How many points does the guy who came in 10th get?”
“I am ranked 10th and have 3,800 points.”
“okay?”
“yes. Everyone has been carrying out their missions for a year now with their eyes lit up. Wouldn’t it be absurd to catch up with that? … .”
Jang-sam, who was watching, spoke carefully. He nodded.
‘Well, this should be a B+.’
It is a gate that is more difficult than beating that apostle. I didn’t even think it would be easy.
Of course, even if you don’t follow the Yongbong Branch or something, there will be a way out.
Because there is a magical escape mechanism called the middle ground.
‘however… … .’
There is no reason not to participate in the competition.
If I was going to give up so easily, I wouldn’t have tried to clear it in the first place.
‘also. Dorim, you bastards were hiding all this information.’
I remembered the words of the Dorim guild leader.
Immediately after the attack.
I explained that this was a martial arts stage.
‘I didn’t go into detail like this.’
Yongbong branch?
Even the hero of Yongbong did not say it out loud. I just took on a mission for the martial arts group and worked hard with my guild members, so I cleared it.
There was no way I could have gotten a ring like that with something like that.
‘I would have participated unconditionally.’
I thought it might have been a reward for achieving something meaningful there.
“Just in case.”
“yes.”
“If I beat Sagongja and win, I’ll get points, right?”
“… … yes?”
“If you show that you are stronger than the guy who accumulated the points, you can eat every single point.”
“Oh, no? Then there wouldn’t be much point in accumulating points… … ?”
“Kabi.”
“… … Confucius. Jang-sam, let me say this with all my heart. Excessive self-consciousness is that much… … .”
“stop. “Don’t post it.”
“… … yes.”
Jang-sam suddenly became sullen. It was none of Kim Min-woo’s business.
“So, I don’t think I would enter a competition like that bare-chested. “What is the product?”
“We give valuable ingredients to the third place winner. The 2nd place winner will receive valuable martial arts. And for first place… … .”
Jang Sam’s eyes suddenly became serious.
“For first place?”
“… … I also only heard it through rumors. ascension. They say it will give you something that can be a clue to ascension.”
“… … ascension?”
Kim Min-woo’s eyes frowned slightly.
I’ve heard this word before.
When I entered the gate filled with orcs.
―Chwiik! You idiots! How could I have forgotten the name of the person who performed the ascension ceremony?
This was one of the things Shaman Bektar said. It was said that Mutakta went to the sky and the orc kingdom was completely ruined.
The names are the same.
There was a very high possibility that there was some connection.
“If you say ascension, you mean you can at least become a fable?”
“I don’t know either. “But one thing all the martial arts people know.”
“What.”
“A clue to ascension. Those who obtain it will surely reach the top position in the world. That’s why it’s an item that brings bloodshed… … .”
“… … “Blood scare?”
“The Yongbong Branch is a real competition only when it ends. A bloody war begins. The reason is simple. A clue to ascension. “Who in this world wouldn’t want it?”
“wait for a sec.”
I raised my hand.
“Please speak. Confucius.”
“If it’s such a great item, shouldn’t Sama Jeong offer it as compensation? “Who on earth is giving it to you?”
“It comes from heaven.”
“Are you holding a competition on the Jeongsama side to get that?”
“yes. “If you don’t open it, there’s no reward.”
I frowned.
I think this is going to be a lot more complicated than I thought.
“If it’s such a precious item, even a super expert like Sadoryunju would want it, right?”
“Of course, right? Confucius. “The late exponents who participate in the Yongbong branch do not go there to gain clues to ascension.”
“then?”
“You offer rewards to those above you, and you participate to get a lot in return.”
“… … Are you going to give rewards for second and third place?”
“no. I don’t even want that. It’s just a clue to ascension. But there is nothing to feel unfair about. “If you submit a clue, each organization will give you a reward more valuable than the second and third places combined.”
aha.
So, if you win the first prize, you will definitely lose it.
“Then, if you come in first place, you will also give a reward?”
“yes. I’m sure you’ve finished talking to Yeonju. The same goes for Confucius. If he gets in the top 10 and participates… … “Ryeonju will make a suggestion.”
The structure was very interesting.
“okay. That aside. So, if you win first place, that means the three organizations will go to war at that moment.”
“Maybe it will happen this time too.”
“… … How do you survive?”
“haha. Confucius. “You don’t have to worry too much about that.”
“If our Sa Sect wins, the Jeong Sect and the Demon Cult will attack together. You don’t seem to be worried?”
“Anyway, all three of us are willing to risk that much damage and compete. “Being first there is actually not a target.”
“Are you offering compensation to those above?”
“yes. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people to rush for the 2nd and 3rd place rewards. “There aren’t many crazy people who aim for the Four Lords, the Murim Lords, or the Heavenly Demon.”
“Is there anything known about the clue to ascension or what it looks like?”
“Rumor has it that it looks like a round bead. “Is it about this size?”
“I see.”
I got a rough idea.
First of all, the Dorim guild leader did not come in first place.
I was sure.
If I won first place, it was one of two things. Either you gave the clue to ascension, or you escaped the gate without giving it.
‘Neither one makes sense.’
What if I didn’t offer it and ran away?
Is it a clue to ascension or something?
If you get it, it is said to be the best item in the world. If that were the case, the strength of the future Dorim guild leader couldn’t have been at that level.
What if you offered it?
You would have gotten a lot of rewards for this and that. Despite that, the Dorim guild leader’s skills were poor.
‘I didn’t use any special martial arts skills.’
It’s not the first prize or a clue to ascension.
Second place award, not martial arts award.
‘So, did you get the ring material as the third place prize?’
It feels like I somehow managed to make a ring using precious materials.
‘If the third place prize is that much… … .’
Needless to say, 2nd or 1st place.
It will be a huge reward.
‘Clue, I eat.’
Are you offering this precious treasure to your superiors?
Such a process did not exist in Kim Min-woo’s brain.
Good things must be monopolized.
must.
‘first… … .’
Qualifying for participation was the top priority. I felt like I needed to find out exactly what that mission was.
