Episode 124: I Was a Death Knight

Jihoo searched the Internet.

In today’s world, finding information has become so convenient. Of course, you won’t have access to expertise and some limited information like magic or swordsmanship, but you can get it if you pay a certain amount.

‘Should I look for a summoning technique?’

Plus basic information.

If you go around a video upload platform called Tube or a community, you can collect various information. Of course, the ability to distinguish which information is accurate is necessary.

The first thing I looked for was the study of those called [Druids].

[Summoning School]

: Returned water or new water with specific conditions. Or the discipline of taming monsters and the study of life loading through spiritualization.

summoning.

In the end, [training] and [loading] are important.

There are many trainers who only train. There are various methods of training in a wide range to the extent that there are separate schools within it.

However, [Druids] should be viewed on a different level from those who only train them. They are divine or phantom beasts capable of [spiritualization]. Or, it focuses on making a spiritual connection with a monster, loading it in a specific space through that connection, and summoning it again.

“This is also ridiculously difficult and precious.”

It is said to require a very special talent.

It is, of course, ‘object intimacy’ to the extent that spiritual connection is possible. Naming such an abstract area as talent itself means that it is not a field that can be understood with common sense.

‘You can create talent by using SP, but you don’t have to go that far.’

Even now, it has too many characteristics. Just doing this right now is busy accumulating experience and growing.

In addition, summoning had to be studied for a long time, and practice was the most important, so it was not a field that Jihoo could do.

“Let’s dig into black magic.”

Jihoo is interested in artifacts.

I wish I could do [summon] through the artifact, just like I made the fire snake. It would be even better if there was a way to upgrade this fiery serpent.

“I guess this is the only way.”

Jihoo came out of the grocery store during lunchtime.

The job called [Black Wizard], which has become popular recently, can be seen as the middle ground between wizards and demons.

It’s not much different from a wizard, but the difference is that it uses magic energy that has been refined once. As a result, although it is not subject to the demon king like demons, it has stronger destructive power than normal magic and can be applied in a much wider variety of ways.

Of course, there is a very big disadvantage of not being able to produce magic directly.

‘Because of that, it was almost never there until now.’

It has to be.

It’s not a power that is easy for Magi to obtain, and there will be limitations in carrying capacity while having to go through refinement.

Instead of going through a separate purification process at the [Dark Magic Tower], it is said that the Warlock is researching how to purify magic directly. Although tangible results have been achieved, it may take several more years before it is widely used.

The reason black magicians were not seen in [Street of Artisans] was because there was no supply and demand for refined magic.

However, as the monsters cracked recently and even monster by-products began to be distributed, [refined demons] were circulated, and even a general store with the bizarre concept of [I was a death knight] was created.

‘The biggest reason it started to become popular recently was when a certain warlock in Europe was active with a Death Knight.’

It was buzzing for a while.

That was also a year or two ago, but it was popular then, and now black magicians are starting to appear on the scene.

Recently, it is showing great activity in party hunting enough to be called a ‘trend’. Of course, this street was just starting to come in.

So even when I got Magi’s horns, I didn’t think of selling them this way.

tall.

Jihoo stood in front of the general store and paused for a moment. Even now, it didn’t look like there were any customers, but that was understandable.

There were almost no warlocks on the streets, and the warlocks he occasionally saw were of a very low level, so he would come to Jihoo’s store to get guns rather than a general store like this.

‘That’s not a real human skeleton. Is the Black Smoke Magi? ah, please It must have been just a black aura decorated. Ugh, is that a real ghoul?’

Jihoo nodded.

There’s no way such a ridiculous general store could ever come into this street. Aunt Miyeon wouldn’t have let it go.

with my daughter-

Jihoo mustered up the courage to enter.

No matter how hard Jihoo has gone through, he can’t help but be reluctant to enter if these undead materials are guarding the door.

“welcome. Oh, Jihoo?”

When Jihoo entered, the boss greeted her first.

“Nice to meet you. Do you know me?”

“of course. You are very famous these days. My name is Jung Woo-yeon. Nice to meet you.”

He was a very handsome young man.

Outwardly, he appeared to be in his mid-twenties, but his pale skin and skinny body seemed far from a brutal death knight like a Death Knight.

However, the infinitely deep eyes were as good as those of Aunt Miyeon and Jiyeol. I’ll have to check my skills, but I think my experience is sufficient.

“How can I help you? Do you need anything?”

“I have a question. There are a few things I want to get.”

Jihoo looked around the general store.

It was about the size of Jihoo’s old general store. It was on the small side, but it was packed tightly without a single empty seat.

The left side is full of flasks, from black to red. A few were blue and transparent, but overall black.

[Refined Magi (Normal) (Lv. 02)]

[Refined Magic (Monster) (Lv. 03)]

[Refined Magi (Asmodian) (Lv. 05)]

[Refined Magi (Noble) (Lv. 07)]

‘Oh, there are grades of refined magic, and the level looks different depending on the target it was extracted from.’

[Reading] information came into Jihoo’s eyes.

As expected, the black color was refined magic, and the red color was mostly monster blood.

[Troll Blood (Lv. 04)]

[Orc Heart Blood (Lv. 04)]

[Orc’s Blood (Demonic Erosion) (Lv. 05)]

[Drake’s Blood (Dragon Blood) (Lv. 07)]

“Is the dark red flask the blood of a monster eroded by demonic energy?”

Jihoo asked, unable to overcome his curiosity.

“oh! You know well too. It’s a great emotional ability. that’s right. If you purify the demonic energy that eroded the blood a little, it becomes a good potion.”

“… … A potion?”

“Ah, to cure the undead. It’s not something people eat.”

“How amazing.”

It was a new world for Jihoo.

It was full of things I didn’t know at all, so it was new every time I saw it.

And when I moved my gaze to the right, countless parts of the corpses of monsters Jihoo knew well were displayed.

‘Ogre sinew, orc hide, black orc eyeball, slime core. There are also ancient spiny slimes. These are all things I know.’

It was fine until there.

and front center.

There was something out of the ordinary here. Some looked like human skeletons, some were piles of bones, some… … .

“What is this?”

“You mean that doll?”

What Jihoo pointed out was a doll that came up to her waist. It looked like a child who looked like a person, but in fact, I didn’t even look at it because it was creepy.

I feel like I shouldn’t know.

“You need not be surprised. it’s not a person Although we operate under the name of black magicians, we don’t do the kind of terrible things you see in those novels. That’s a real doll. Of course, it’s made from the by-products of monsters and monsters.”

“… … If so, that’s good.”

Actually a black mage or normal mage. Alternatively, researchers who mainly conduct magical and scientific experiments were discovered more often than expected while conducting illegal human experiments.

Sometimes it gets featured in the media, like Amazon or Africa. Or, it often happens in places where there is a hole in public security, such as China, or where tacit permission is granted.

It’s not really because he’s a black magician.

Of course, the reason why such arrows fly to the black magician is because of the existence of the undead. It is said that [Death Knight] played a big role in the black magician’s popularity these days, but it is because of the perception that human corpses are much more efficient and stronger than monsters or monsters.

So Jihoo asked.

“In fact, people say that Death Knights use people because they have to have excellent swordsmanship skills in their previous life, but demons or wild beasts are more effective than people. Rather than being technically developed, it is instinctual and sensory developed physical abilities… … .”

The more Jihoo talked to him, the more he couldn’t shake the thought that something was out of focus. But it wasn’t that incomprehensible.

demons or wild beasts.

This is because all of them were derived from rifts or ruins, not from Earth’s race. The difference from monsters was the presence or absence of intelligence and language.

‘It’s not particularly strange.’

Well, in the past, people kidnapped people and sold them.

Demons were literally demons, so they were completely different from humans. Wild beastmen were a race of beastmen, but they were a race with a great sense of distance from humans from their appearance.

There is a language and there is a tribe, but it should be said that the conversation does not work. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a monster, as it sometimes attacked people in a fit of hunger.

“hahahaha, in case you were wondering… … .”

“I have a question about summoning the undead. It’s more about summoning and loading rather than creating.”

“okay. Nothing special. Being undead is about controlling a being that is already dead, so it’s a matter of how efficiently you store dead bodies. In a word, it’s just doing it in a subspace. Of course, it’s a subspace specialized for the undead, so you can’t put other things in it, but there are more undead than you think.”

Jihoo nodded.

I’ll have to listen to the detailed theory, but that was enough for a hint.

“Is there a skeleton creation kit or something?”

“… … ah.”

“hahahaha, there can’t be any, right?”

“there is.”

“yes?”

“It’s a bit pricey, but it’s there. It contains books to study and a refined Magi set, so anyone with talent or the ability to study deeply can create a Skeledon.”

“… … Really?”

“Yes, the name of the kit is [Hey, you two. I am now a warlock].”

“… … I like the concept.”

“hahahaha, I thought you would understand. My dream is for everyone to learn black magic. from children to grandmothers. My theory is that anyone should be able to learn and protect themselves.”

“… … .”

The story of [the demon king secretly taking over the world] came to Jihoo’s mind.

But I shook my head.

I hope it can’t be

It’s a bit suspicious, but isn’t it [Black Wizard]? This kind of thinking may be natural.

Wizards wish everyone could use magic! It won’t be much different than what you said.

“Then give me one.”

“Ah, here it is. Even the book set is 30 million won. If more are sold, the price will come down. Anyone should be able to learn it, but since refined magic is so expensive… … .”

“Are you buying regular Magi?”

“Yes, of course. Refined ones are more expensive, but we also get normal magic and buy monster corpses. Oh, by the way, corpses in human form are more expensive. hahahaha.”

“… … .”

Jihoo thought that he should leave soon.

Is this really a good place? Aunt Miyeon would have taken care of it, but it was true that she was a little worried.

This book and refined Magi.

and bone fragments.

Everything Jihoo wanted to know was here. There was also something about summoning and loading. How to use refined magic. It seemed that there was a process of refining magic.

However, it was not a deep content, so it was necessary to look for it separately.
