The Necromancer in The Novel Picks up Bones - Chapter 134
Only Noblemtl
Episode 134
The mission at the mine is over.
What happened after the effects of ended? What did the assassins from Magina Corporation do when they entered the interior?
That wasn’t anything Baek Sa-jun had to worry about.
‘Magina Enterprise will take care of the rest.’
Baek Sa-jun’s role ends with attracting attention.
They even provided more service there. Sending Iria definitely added to the internal chaos.
He looked at Iria who was beside him.
– Ooh, ooh ooh… … .
Iria was licking the blood off her fingernails.
I told him not to show his face while he was turned into fog, but seeing as there was blood everywhere, it seems he couldn’t control his desire and drank the blood of several mercenaries.
“I’ll let you off the hook just this once.”
– Ooh… … ?
Iria tilted her head.
It seems like you can do it beyond just understanding what you’re saying, but you’re pretending not to know. Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue.
– Crunch.
– Ugh.
The skeleton and Magnus stood guard behind them.
Baek Sa-jun turned his head. He felt a group of people moving in the darkness.
“There you are, mercenary.”
A man in a black suit appeared.
Because his face was covered, I couldn’t see his facial features, but judging from his body and voice, he was a man.
They must be assassins from Magina Corporation.
“Are you done with the work?”
“Of course. Take it.”
The man threw a ring to Baek Sa-jun.
Even at first glance, it was an unusual ring.
[Ring of Transference (Epic)]
· A ring imbued with powerful transfer magic. However, the number of uses is limited.
· You can set a transfer point within a 500m radius and transfer to the set point.
· Usage limit: 5/20.
Although it was an epic item, the options it had were very good. In the end times, ‘transfer’ itself was a bit rare.
‘This item is worthy of being a legendary item.’
It seems that it became an epic grade because of the limited number of uses. This part was a bit disappointing.
There were 5 turns left.
“The chairman asked me to give it to you as a gift. He said he would call you soon, so take it if you can.”
“Oh my, you’re giving me something precious, so of course I should accept it. By the way, I have a question.”
Baek Sa-jun observed the assassins.
They are guys with outstanding skills at first glance. Their level seems to be similar to mine.
“Were you originally affiliated with Magina Corporation?”
“Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“Personal curiosity?”
The man looked at Baek Sa-jun without saying a word.
And after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.
“I’ve known the Chairman for a long time. However, I only recently joined Magina Corporation. Originally, he preferred to hire only when necessary… … .”
“It seems like you had a change of heart.”
“Yes. They said they wanted to recruit our organization. We accepted because the conditions were good in many ways. There are also some conditions that can only be accepted at Magina.”
Baek Sa-jun nodded.
If Magina Corporation had such assassins from the beginning, there would have been no need to hire Baek Sa-jun when rescuing Yoo Seong-ah.
‘Did you recruit him because of Yoo Seong-ah?’
Money is money, but more than anything, the value of the gift that Yoo Seong-ah has called is great.
The man seemed to feel some merit in it.
“I heard that they are contacting various places other than our organization. I heard that they have refused… … .”
“That’s right.”
I don’t have the luxury of security work.
That would be more stable though.
“I delivered the goods. I don’t know if we’ll meet again.”
The moon in the sky was momentarily obscured by clouds.
A hill where darkness has descended.
“Let’s meet again when we get the chance.”
The new type of assassins has disappeared.
They were a mysterious bunch. And at that very moment, Baek Sa-jun’s cell phone vibrated.
It was a call from Yoo Jeong-hoon.
– You must have caught everyone’s attention with your flashy moves. Since when did you become able to handle so many undead?
“There are various circumstances. The assassin gave me a precious ring as a gift.”
– Yeah. Song Kang-gil, he has it. Wouldn’t you find it more useful than me?
“What a precious gift.”
Baek Sa-jun looked at the ring in the moonlight.
It’s a shame that there’s a limit to the number of times you can use it, but this level of options can be useful.
– Don’t worry, I won’t compensate you with that. I’ll deposit it by tomorrow.
“Yes. And as compensation, I have a favor to ask. I need someone who can remove resentment and curses. Does anyone know of anyone?”
– That’s strange. Are you under a curse?
“If I wanted to put a curse on you, I would have put one on you. I’m not in a position to be cursed. It’s because I have a special item.”
– Hmm, it’s a special item.
Yoo Jeong-hoon trailed off as if thinking about his connections, then gave a positive answer.
– Yes. You will probably need a skilled wizard, but you will have to recruit the wizard.
“That’s not difficult.”
– Then the story is simple. Since you are close to me, send me straight to the lawless area.
“thank you.”
As the president of Maseok Corporation, he has a wide network of connections. In the original work, he became a villain and used those connections for bad purposes, which was a problem.
Right now, I’m using it to benefit Baek Sa-jun, so it’s not a big deal.
– Just like last time, you’re really good at handling things. If you have any more work to entrust to me, I’ll contact you again.
“As long as you compensate me properly.”
– I told you.
Yoo Jeong-hoon’s voice grew distant.
– Money is what I have in abundance.
Suddenly, the phone call was disconnected.
Baek Sa-jun snickered while looking at his cell phone.
“What a confident old man.”
Baek Sa-jun was a helpful uncle in many ways, so I liked his confidence.
He stretched for a long time.
“Let’s go back.”
– Crunch.
The work is done.
If I go back to Daegu and resolve the resentment in Jinjo’s heart, there is nothing more to do.
Once that’s done.
‘I guess I should go to Jeju Island.’
The end, where will be.
* * *
The next day, Baek Sa-jun arrived in Daegu.
As I was reading the newspaper until the person introduced by Yoo Jeong-hoon arrived, my cell phone suddenly rang.
“Oh, it got deposited.”
It was a notification that the money had been deposited.
Money sent by Magina Enterprise’s Chairman, Yoo Jeong-hoon. And money sent by Geom-hwang, Woo Tae-ho.
All together it was 18 billion.
“Hey, how much money did you send?”
What Yoo Jeong-hoon sent was 3 billion.
The remaining 15 billion was sent by Woo Tae-ho. Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter as he looked at the amount.
‘I thought it was an unrealistic amount of money even when I read it in a novel, but when I saw it with my own eyes… … .’
It felt less realistic.
Considering that this was a world where money had little value, this amount of money would quickly be wasted if you bought a few items.
“This is a gift.”
“Oh, leave it there.”
It wasn’t just money that the Emperor sent.
There was also a gift sent along.
[Ugly Bone Gloves (Epic)]
· Gloves made from the bones of an ugly monster. They are imbued with the power of a necromancer.
· Wearing restrictions: Necromancer only.
· Defense +60, Morale +9.
· +25% to the speed of fraud regeneration.
· Ghoul-type undead attack power and speed +20%.
· +2 to the number of undead summoned in the ghoul lineage.
[Skull of the Forgotten (Epic)]
· Now a helmet made from the skull of a forgotten man. It contains an ominous power.
· Wearing restrictions: Necromancer only.
· Defense +72, Morale +10.
· +25% to the speed of fraud regeneration.
· Curse effect and duration increased by 30%.
· -20% of the morale consumed by curse skills.
It was the necromancer’s dragon item.
Baek Sa-jun’s helmet and gloves are both unique. They are disappointing items compared to the equipment he uses, but it seems that he was concerned about that.
There are even a large number of magic stones there.
‘How many magic stones are there?’
It contained dozens of magic stones of grades 3 to 5.
A letter appeared to be placed on top of it.
[That’s the only Necromancer item I can send. I feel bad about sending just this, so I’m sending the magic stones I have instead.]
[If you dispose of the magic stones, you will get a lot of money. If there are any items you need, buy them.]
It was a letter written in the Emperor’s own handwriting.
Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter.
“Father?”
It’s like a letter from a father leaving money for his child while he goes on a business trip.
But it was a good gift. With this amount of magic stones, you could probably buy some decent items.
Baek Sa-jun put the magic stones into the subspace.
“Hmm, then… … .”
Baek Sa-jun finished reading the newspaper he was reading.
A newspaper from brokers that I received from Han Sang-gyu. It’s like a newsletter that contains news about the world.
[What is the third main story?]
[What happens to countries that fail to prove their eligibility? And what are the four apocalypses?]
[The first apocalypse, the night of the flood, begins.]
Naturally, the mediators’ newspapers mainly covered the main story.
Not only the brokers, but everyone else was also concerned about the main story.
‘Where will the apocalypse happen again?’
And what will the scale of that apocalypse be?
If another apocalypse like the one that happened in Busan were to happen again, would you be able to withstand it?
It was a worry that everyone was thinking about.
Even people in lawless areas who live as they please were talking about the main story.
‘Has the night of flooding begun?’
The third main story, .
In this story, four apocalypses occur sequentially. The first of these is called “The Night of the Flood.”
‘We should leave this to Lee Hyuk-woon.’
The Night of the Flood is a relatively simple ending.
An apocalypse in which a large army of monsters floods a specific area. The monster army either cooperates with each other or fights with each other, further increasing the chaos.
In the original, it was an ending that Lee Hyuk-woon handled well.
‘He was a guy who had nothing but strength to begin with.’
You have to handle this kind of apocalypse on your own.
The that occurs after the night of flooding will also be dealt with by Lee Hyuk-woon. Then, there are only two apocalypses that Baek Sa-jun has to deal with.
and .
[Jeju Island, intensification of war between warlords.]
[There are many requests for mercenary support, but we will think about it as carefully as possible.]
Predators are the apocalypse that occurs in Jeju Island.
The problem is that Jeju Island is a place where warlords fight for control. It is similar to a lawless area, but the scale and level are overwhelmingly higher on Jeju Island.
‘That’s why the predator grew up.’
A formless monster with an enormous appetite.
A being who absorbs the power of the one who ate it was summoned in the middle of a war between warlords. Summoned in the perfect environment to accumulate power while hiding his identity.
In the original, when Lee Hyuk-woon arrived, the predator had become a monster that had to take damage.
‘We have to find it quickly and kill it.’
A predator is someone who knows how to hide himself.
Lee Hyuk-woon also tried to search using his powers, but failed. Is it possible to find him quickly? If not… … .
“Luring them… would be one way.”
If there is a prey that the predator would like, and if it can cooperate with that prey and lure it.
Things might be easier than you think.
And there was such a thing in Jeju Island.
‘The ten reclusive heroes were in Jeju Island.’
In the original, it is the ten heroes who are eaten by predators.
The only way is to find that person and contact him first.
– Smart.
“Come in.”
The moment Baek Sa-jun gathered his thoughts, someone knocked on the door.
The one who came inside was Sa-hyeon.
“A guest has arrived from Magina. They said they have some business for you. Should I tell them to come in?”
“Oh. That’s good timing. Tell them to come in.”
Baek Sa-jun got up from his seat.
It’s time to deal with Jinjo’s heart.
