Chapter 79 – 79. The price of Volta’s life
“What a pity.”
“How can a human act like that?”
The Magic Judges were saddened when they came out of Hernu’s house. There were two people who followed as escorts, and both of them were frowning as if it was their first time seeing a corpse like that.
“… … .”
At the same time, the fact that his eyes were secretly focused on me was an expectation that he might have noticed something.
After thinking for a moment, I asked the two people in return.
“Bodies are preserved in different states.”
Both men had their own knowledge in this field. No matter what, they are in a position to carry out executions.
A long-chinned judge named Tema answered.
“you’re right. When you look at the state of the corpse and the entangled bugs, it starts from the torso, then the left hand, right hand, left leg, and right leg.”
Doben, the judge with a mole on the corner of his mouth, nods his head in agreement with Tema’s opinion.
Theme and Doben’s opinions were integrated, and I was thinking the same thing.
“From the corpse… … I could feel the dark magic. “Someone used magic to intentionally preserve it that way.”
This is not an incident caused by an evil spirit.
I also realized that when I just saw the corpse.
‘No matter how I looked at it, I thought it was done by an evil spirit. In this case, it is correct that someone deliberately made it look like it was done by an evil spirit.’
The reason I came here in the first place was because I was worried that there might be an evil spirit encompassing the entire kingdom.
But when I got there, it wasn’t like that.
Someone made it look like a strange phenomenon had occurred and made it look like an evil spirit had caused the incident.
‘Why?’
I was about to deepen my worries, but I had no choice but to stop because the two black magicians were watching me.
I felt like I didn’t know how to react because an incident like this could never be beneficial to me at this time.
If it were known, it would be natural for the warlock’s position to take a turn for the worse.
Through my divine power, I have created the perception that I am different from the average warlock, but that doesn’t mean I will be completely free from attention.
“First of all, I think it would be a good idea to research Volta among the citizens living in Fernando.”
When I told them to meet me here again in an hour, the two immediately saluted and started moving quickly.
The judges were feeling a strange fear towards me, perhaps because I had defeated the magic judge Tyrun.
I went back inside the house.
Hernu, the mother, had not even had a proper meal and was simply eating something like millet.
Thinking that I should give her something to eat later, I check Volta’s body again, which has been left in the front yard, which is almost like a garbage dump, without her knowledge.
The bodies are in different states of decomposition, and they are preserved.
Although I think it’s a pretty bizarre act, the most important thing is.
‘It has no face.’
Where did the face that fell off the body go?
And one more thing.
‘There is no soul either.’
Even though I checked to see if there were any sleeping souls through Remegeton, I couldn’t see anything.
Even if he had awakened as an evil spirit, he would have wandered near the body since he had just died.
In this case, one of two things happened.
Either Volta’s soul has completely disappeared.
or.
‘Or still alive.’
There were so many incidents that were annoying.
Why did the criminal put such a complicated spell on the corpse?
Why did the criminal cut up Volta’s body and place it at the north, south, east, and west of the Griffin Kingdom?
I came because I thought it was a simple evil spirit incident, but in reality, it was the work of a warlock.
I felt undesirable.
A chill crept across the back of my neck as I felt like I was standing in someone’s shadow.
“What are you doing?”
At that time, Volta’s mother, Hernu, popped her head out right next to me.
She, who had just been chewing millet, was staring at me with her mouth covered in something.
A strangely different atmosphere than just before.
I asked without much agitation.
“What kind of son was Volta?”
To my question, Hernu slightly lowered his head and answered.
“I can’t say in vain that he was a good kid. “I went around with a gang of neighborhood thugs, stealing money, beating up kids, and stealing boats.”
“… … .”
“So actually, the village people didn’t mourn much even when Volta died. On the contrary, I was happy that the bullies ran away when Volta closed his eyes so cruelly.”
Hernu’s eyes fill with tears as he grabs my hand.
“It is true that my son is an ugly person, but he did not do anything so bad that he would die. Even the goddess is indifferent!”
The trembling of the voice, the tears falling, the strength of the old woman’s hands as if they would break at any moment.
“I hope you catch the guy who did this to my son.”
“… … All right.”
With those words, I went out again. There didn’t seem to be any need for it to be more than that.
I briefly checked for souls floating around, but most of them were harmless to people and would naturally go to rest over time.
An hour later.
Tema and Dauben are back again. They had strange expressions on their faces, but the content they both brought was similar.

There are only negative reviews about Volta.
“They say he didn’t have very good hand habits. “It is said that he went beyond simply stealing items and was even caught committing robbery.”
“Not only that, it was a daily routine for him to go around with his gang and beat people. “They say that if you hear Volta’s voice outside at night, you won’t come out to the village.”
“It is said that there have been so many incidents, and there have actually been many cases where they have been taken over by security forces. It is said that every time, Volta’s old mother came and knelt down and apologized.”
“They say my father had a similar personality. Volta’s father was an alcoholic, and he is said to have died late at night after falling and hitting his head on a stone.”
“The dark wizard’s energy was not found separately within the village. “It seems like it will be a more difficult case than I thought.”
Since they were two people who specialized in dealing with warlocks, they explained the current situation fairly quickly and cool-headedly.
While praising the two people for gathering neat and extensive information, I secretly looked up at the sky.
The day suddenly became dark.
The weather was overcast and it looked like it would rain any minute longer.
The fishermen’s boats have already taken their nets and are anchored. They left early and gathered at a tavern in the village and seemed to be making noise and talking.
“What do you two think is the most important point in this case?”
The long-chinned theme answered my question as if it had been waiting.
“I think it’s the preservation of the body. “We didn’t just kill it, we installed a unique device on it.”
However, it seemed that the reason could not be reached.
This time, Doben, who is standing next to him and has a mole on the corner of his mouth, has a different opinion.
“The bodies were spread out to the north, south, east and west. Personally, I am guessing that it is some kind of magic circle that spreads throughout the kingdom.”
According to Doben’s opinion, the scale becomes quite large. The magic circle that deals with corpses is usually a summoning magic circle.
Become a devil, but not just a griffin’s demon.
The real devil could have come out.
Both were reasonable opinions in their own way. However, if I were to be honest, there were some aspects that were lacking in persuasiveness.
I slowly turned my gaze to the dark spirit. She had been looking around with her mouth closed ever since, but when she caught my gaze, she opened her mouth with a faint moan.
[Hmm, I think the problem is that the situation is overly unique.]
I also nodded at her words.
“It’s overly extreme, yet flashy. But there is no substance.”
Is the body’s time zone different?
It looks amazing, but if you are a warlock and not an evil spirit, it doesn’t seem that difficult.
Pieces of corpses spread to the north, south, east and west?
It wasn’t difficult to move it as long as there were people.
As Doben said, it could have been a magic circle that summons the devil.
But if you think the other way around.
You created a magic circle that encompasses the entire Griffin Kingdom, but you activate it with just a corpse?
To put it bluntly, there is a shortage of materials.
So, in my personal opinion, the criminal in this case wanted one thing.
“It must have been an intention to intentionally make the incident spectacular and bring it out.”
Warlock.
What I believe to be a necromancer is calling me.
It felt that way even more when I remembered that the time of the incident was right after becoming a memorial.
“Are you talking about Monumental Master?”
“Hmm.”
Both people looked unconvinced, but I began to feel somewhat convinced.
Because I had information in the game that they didn’t know.
As Retry progresses to the latter half, the content of the game gradually becomes more profound.
The setting that dead souls are accumulating on the continent was not something I discovered after becoming a necromancer.
This is because there was an episode based on related content in the game.
The Griffin Kingdom was extremely hostile to warlocks.
On the contrary, it was the perfect place for capable warlocks to hide their bodies.
Because Griffin’s demon blocked black magic from the source, citizens are ignorant.
I slowly turn my gaze to the dark spirit.
A representative example is her.
A necromancer who hid in the Kingdom of Griffin and focused on his own research.
anyway.
Dante is a group of warlocks living in the sewers beneath the Griffin Kingdom that appears in the game.
‘Dante is involved.’
In their own words, reasonable warlocks. Therefore, it does not attract the attention of magic judges and does not cause much harm to people.
Unlike selfish warlocks, they believe that all knowledge and learning must be paid for.
That’s why they don’t kill people carelessly. Even if it means killing them, they are the ones who pay the price.
But then.
I slowly turn my head and look at Hernu’s house.
I thought I knew who would have taken Volta’s life.
