I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 48



Only Noblemtl

#48 Work goes to the mountain (2)

It took a long time just to get to the mountain.

Because it was a mountain we arrived at after a long time had passed through the castle gate.

“Ugh… phew…”

I really don’t know why I’m going through all this trouble.

Is the difficult path that was mentioned in the fortune telling referring to a mountain path?

No matter how high I climbed, I couldn’t see the end.

If the road had been well paved, it wouldn’t have been this difficult.

The mountains here were wild in themselves.

“Hoo…Hoo….”

“Are you okay?”

At Clocell’s question, I turned my head sharply.

“Sir, can’t we just fly away?”

“If mana becomes entangled, traces may disappear.”

“Hoo…”

If you look closely, I was the only one in the group who was having a hard time.

Serena was originally a native living in the forest, so she was more energetic and the wizards didn’t have a hard time.

They say that if you circulate mana in your body, you can do things like mountain climbing.

It was understandable, since all the wizards who came here were of a high level.

“Monstrous people…”

What I said was directed at the knights.

It would have been so hard to climb up there naked, but they were wearing armor.

Even though I was dying, he was still very energetic.

“You, wouldn’t it be easier if you did that thing called Kangshin?”

“Absolutely not.”

Are you going hiking and needing a reception?

What kind of mountaineering would require divine help?

It is an action that makes no sense even if the war breaks out right now.

However, you cannot wear the spirit on your body.

My spirit energy was nothing compared to those with abundant mana.

This means that it will take at most three hours to come back like this.

In that case, it would be better to use it sparingly and only use it occasionally.

“I should have stayed with Aluard…”

Allure remained at the bottom of the mountain under the pretext of waiting for the knights dispatched by the church.

Along with a few knights and wizards.

The jangseung was still there.

“You had to come with me. Just accept it.”

“…Why won’t my feet come off?”

This isn’t just talk, it’s true.

My feet felt sticky, like I had stepped on mud.

To be honest, I really didn’t want to go.

Ever since I climbed the mountain, I’ve had strange feelings.

“Whew…what a struggle…”

As I looked up, there was not a soul around.

It seemed strange that such an energetic mountain had no soul.

It feels like the entire soul has disappeared from this area.

“Isn’t there at least a mountain spirit…?”

If there’s anything, I’ll ask before I go.

I raised my arm and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

I was sweating so much that my sleeves were soaked through.

This is what makes climbing mountains harder for me.

“Am I the only one who feels hot?”

As soon as we entered the mountain, the air became stuffy.

It was the same even under the shade of a tree.

The important thing is that it’s not hot weather.

It seemed like no one felt the heat except me.

“Inspiration Paramon, do you feel anything up there?”

“Heh heh… The only thing I can feel better than you is living.”

“….What about Master Clocell?”

“There are faint traces of mana leading to that place.”

“Haa… why is it so dark over there…”

The sky is clear.

It was a day with no clouds, so you could see far into the distance.

But to my eyes it was dark.

It was hot without being hot, and it was bright but dark.

“You’ve been saying strange things since a while ago.”

A knight walking next to me looked at me in bewilderment.

Still, this gentleman was quite friendly to me.

The other knights seemed uncomfortable with me, asking about my status.

My inspirations care about me, but I can’t show it openly.

“…There is something like that.”

“I heard you can see spirits. Ah…! Sorry for the late greeting. My name is Felicia Harbour. She works in the capital.”

“I’m Chris. I don’t have a last name. I’m a commoner…”

“Don’t worry about it. I’m also a commoner by birth…”

A knight of commoner origin···?

It is possible for commoners to become knights, too.

The method is not easy, though.

Harbor shook his head when he saw my face.

“To be exact, my grandfather was a commoner. He was appointed as a knight for his merits during the Continental War.”

“ah…”

“I heard you can see spirits. Are there any spirits near me?”

“No, there isn’t.”

There was no soul attached.

Instead, the karmas were intricately intertwined.

I guess it was because he was a knight, and he had accumulated karma by killing people.

“Instead, you’ll probably have a hard time someday.”

“Hmm?”

“Originally, if you commit a sin, it will all come back to you. If possible, try not to kill people.”

The knights walking in front of me snickered at my words.

It was an outright mockery.

The knight told me not to kill people.

Aren’t you telling me to put down my sword and live?

It was ambiguous because even this was considered a job here.

“Oh right, Harbor…?”

“You can just call me Kyung.”

“Anyway, Your Majesty, if you rush things, things will get tangled up even if they are supposed to be solved, so you should always do it slowly.”

“Hmm… I guess that’s what they call a dot.”

“Be careful, your legs may become uncomfortable in your later years.”

“I still can’t believe it, but thank you.”

Lord Harver put his hand between the armor and started rummaging around.

“Should I give you something called a lottery ticket?”

“Oh, okay.”

Was it unexpected that I refused the lottery?

Inspiration Clocell looked at me with a puzzled look.

“Didn’t they say that if you don’t play lottery, you’ll have bad luck?”

“The fortune of the Harbor Lord has already been paid by someone else. This is the fortune I told you about back then…”

“You mean my lottery ticket? Who…?”

“It’s a secret.”

Given his personality, it’s likely that Inspiration Paramon would be extremely embarrassed.

Because I could see that he was still listening from the front.

At that moment, the wizard walking in front stopped.

“The traces are lost.”

“We came all the way here and the traces were cut off…”

The group that had stopped began to look at me one by one.

The wizards had eyes telling them to hurry up and do something.

The knights sent me a look that said, “Give it a try.”

“Ahem…”

I really didn’t like the look in the knights’ eyes.

It was the look in his eyes that made him look like a conman.

It was a gaze that I inevitably had to receive while living as a shaman.

“Let’s see…”

He held the drop in his hand and shook it gently.

Daughter –

The first thing I felt was the energy of the mountains.

Clear and clean.

It was a very famous mountain.

Daughter –

And a scene passing through my head.

Aluard was seen in it.

“Why does this guy show up first…”

Aluard seemed to have met with knights and priests.

The feeling is that the situation is not good.

Daughter –

I shook the bell once more and the air around me suddenly became hot.

Sweat soon formed on his forehead and ran down his cheeks.

The sky around us also became even darker.

“This…is so big…why is this a hassle…”

The pressure was growing so strong that the hand shaking the bell was shaking.

“…chris?”

Serena called out to me as if she sensed something.

Perhaps because the size of the airship was so large, Serena, who was a new creature, also felt it.

Daughter –

In that moment, my mind was sucked out and I was carried away somewhere.

The scenes began to move upward, past the glowing spot on the mountainside.

It was the top of the mountain.

It was dark and full of fear.

“…It’s already too late.”

“Did you say you were late?”

It seemed like something that had been going on for a long time.

This may have been going on long before I came here.

It was the final stage.

It’s already out of my hands.

Why are you only showing this now?

It was too late for the fortune telling.

Above all, there was no direct revelation.

Because the words weren’t coming out of my mouth.

“Please speak quickly.”

“Be…quiet…”

You have to concentrate.

It seemed like it could be caught, but it couldn’t be caught.

Daughter –

Two scenes flashed before my eyes.

The dead coming down from the top.

But, their appearance was strange.

I was running backwards instead of forwards.

Some of them even ran while doing handstands.

And on top of the mountain stood people with black aura.

He was a necromancer.

The location was so clear.

I have a feeling that if I go with the people I came up with, I will definitely win.

If you want to go, you have to go right now.

Daughter –

We were seen going out to catch them.

The knights and wizards were dead, but they were clearly stepping on the necromancer’s head.

But the bottom of the mountain was full of death.

Another territory beyond the lost territory.

One by one, people began to walk backwards.

This is what happens when you go to the necromancer.

“…..”

The words still haven’t come out of my mouth.

However, what I feel is the gaze of a spirit looking at me.

He had a strange appearance, looking like either a grandfather or a grandmother.

The helping hand that had always been there for me was far away.

“It’s homework…”

The feeling of being looked at was strange.

It was a teaching to me, and also a question.

It was as if he was asking, ‘Which one would you choose?’

“This is why I came to the mountain.”

It was a big crossroads and a test for me.

It will have a huge impact on future unemployment.

It was the path of a shaman, not a disciple.

“The time has come already…?”

As you build up your career, there are moments you will inevitably encounter.

The moment when you break free from the role of a disciple and begin to play the role of a proper disciple.

People say.

‘Isn’t it true that God will take care of everything?’

The disciple receives and learns from God.

It is a time of great learning, and a time when the spirits pay the most attention.

Shamans who receive the Dongjasin are so deeply interested that even their speech changes.

Me too.

And the disciple who has become a clap-hand goes on his way receiving teachings.

It is a time when you must find the answers yourself and build up your career.

The solution is up to the disciples who have been taught.

There are times when I receive help from the spirits, but…

Daughter –

Finally, a bright spot appeared on the mountainside and the scenes suddenly cut off.

“….”

“Chris, are you okay…?”

“Serena, why are you doing that..?”

Serena was shaking as if she was scared.

It was only natural that the spirit’s gaze would come and go.

“Serena. It’s okay.”

I calmed Serena down by gently stroking her back.

“…”

Everyone’s eyes were on me.

“There are necromancers on top of the mountain.”

The inspirations were silent, waiting for my explanation.

“It seems like all the people of Yeongji are already dead. If we go up like this, we’ll be able to catch them.”

Shudder.

People who want to move their bodies right away.

but.

“If you go after them, all the other residents near the mountain will die. If you go right away, you might be able to save them.”

“….”

“Instead, you can’t catch a necromancer. You’re just missing out on the opportunity.”

This was the question the spirit asked.

Will you catch the criminal?

Will you save people?

Fortunately, it seemed like everyone here made the same choice I did.

Except for a few articles.

“Tsk tsk… If you are blinded by your sense of pride…”

Shudder.

“Go down now. The knights have arrived.”

Inspiration Paramon seemed to notice something strange in my words and asked me.

“It sounds like they’re telling us to go alone.”

It was accurate.

Because I had something to do first.

“My job is… in the mountains.”

You have to go where the light shines.

“There is a good spot.”
