Volume 1 Chapter 4 (2/2)
”Corpse! You aren't co out, huh?” I slowly extended a hand froant— damn! It's a honey-colored hand!
Sob! I have becoht!
Neverabout it Even without reciting any incantations, ht turned froht filled the whole run-down house
Not that I want to boast about this, but to be able to gather sothat few can do Even a the Pope's cardinals, there are only a handful who can do it
When ic, he often said in surprise, ”Child, you really are a naturally gifted cleric”
”Really?” The young me was extreic swordsmanshi+p
”Yeah, if you had first entered the Sanctuary of Light, then in the future you would have definitely become one of the very best Popes in the history of the Sanctuary of Light!”
With glittery eyes, I ilory…
”But since you initially entered the Holy Teht in the future”
As expected, feprofession One o froret that decision bitterly Children are foolish, and always think that the knights wielding a sword and wearing ar a cleric is truly the better career choice!
As they don't have to wield a sword, they don't have to spend money to repair one They do require ather holy light, I'd be fine even with a tree branch!
Also, clerics don't have to wear armor, so they don't have to buy ar it when the eneh clerics still need to buy clerical robes, nonetheless I repeat, judging froht, I'll be fine even with a white curtain on ood clerical potential, yet I went to becoret, cannot change professions, and can only continue to be one until you retire or die: the Sun Knight… Even I want to scold ret…
”Sun, Sun!” The shrill screams interrupted my remorse
I turned my head abruptly, and saw that a s in all directions, and screa the situation, I gathered back all of the holy light with a 'whoosh' sound
”Sob! How painful!” The small shadow squatted in the corner and cried continuously
The whole house had already changed, for ic The scene of the cobweb-filled house disappeared, and was replaced with a tidy small house, but then…
Pink, pink, it was pink everywhere!
How crazy! This place totally doesn't need to use illusion ic to cover the fact that a necromancer lives here
Who would believe that this house that has pink walls, pink tables and chairs, a pink bed, and even pink dolls filling the whole house, is actually a necromancer's residence?
Even the cobweb-filled, run-down house from before looked more like a place where a necroed on ht! I lowered ht reaches only to lared at her with a fierce and serious expression
The s softly due to ? You are a necrorowled, ”Besides, the person who should cry is me I have not only been slashed at and bled a street's worth of blood, but also been suspected by everyone that I have done soht would coht turn out that you actually really did it…” The small shadow said softly
”WHATT DIIID YOOOOU SAAAY?”
I fu at the small shadow, and slowly picked it up…
In a house where the walls are pink, the floor is pink, and the bed on the side is also pink, a handsomeon his knees was a pretty little girl who looked delicate and refined, with bright and beautiful big eyes full with spirit and curly golden hair She looked almost as cute as a doll
However, on closer inspection, this girl's skin is actually pink too, which lets people suddenly realize that there is sooose bu, Corpse, that you also don't knohere that dead body came from?” I furrowed my brow
”You're so irl held a lollipop in her hand, and was even pouting as she corievance, ”Pink only did the sarounds to buy a corpse And Sun, last time you said that you wanted a better undead creature, so Pink specially spent a lot of money to buy an intact corpse… Pink also didn't know that that corpse's aura of grudge and obsession was so strong that it would actually becoht” Pink tilted her head to look at me, and with a cute expression, said, ”Moreover, the object of his obsession just happens to be you, Sun!”
”But I don't know that fellow!” I was practically about to be driven crazy, for I obviously hadn't seen him before Why would the object of his obsession be me?
It is unknohether Pink believed me or not, for she only lowered her head to lick her lollipop
I furrowed ht the corpse at the execution grounds? Is he a crih her face was just as adorable, her eyes showed a hint ofof a necromancer that likes to act cute
”Huh?” I touched ht only crirounds?”
Pink laughed at me with disdain ”On the surface, that's true! However, Pink will tell you that Pink is a person withcorpses A lot of corpses that cannot be openly dealt with, yet are feared to be discovered by other people, can be piled onto the heap of cri just a little bit of money”
”Is this true? Hoould you confirate?
”Idiot!” Pink rejoiced in the dead's rounds are all hung to death, but I have boughtmarks, but Pink is after all very familiar with corpses, and with one look Pink can tell that those marks are casually made after their death with a rope Their necks are absolutely not broken at all, so they were not hung ”
”How did that Death Knight die?”
I decided to throw the incident of the execution grounds' fraud aside first, for right now, it was more important to prove htly with a cute expression, and carefully considered for a while, before choosing the most accurate answer ”He was tortured to death His body has too many injuries, so he was tortured for quite a while, and in the end he died of course”
Tortured to death… My scalp is starting to become numb
”However, Sun…” Pink suddenly looked at me with much anticipation ”I didn't know that you had this kind of hobby Next ti methods with each other, for you know, I haven't been able to torture out a Death Knight yet”
Hearing that, I blewher violently ”Exchange?! I told you before, I don't know hiht, beautiful and spirited eyeballs swayed up and down like crazy There seemed to be a tendency for them to fall out, so I hurriedly used my two hands to s After all, I had no wish to see a scene with her eyeballs falling out
”Pink got it, Pink also doesn't know those ere tortured by Pink!” Pink looked at me with a smart-alecky smile
I cursed silently This dead fellow… Wait! She really is originally a ”dead” felloay This evil-natured necromancer actually refuses to believe that I didn't torture that Death Knight
”Which execution grounds did you buy the corpse from?”
”The one outside the city, in the northwest direction”
”The one that is the furthest, huh…” Looks like er
Resigned to h what I wanted to do nextthe pink cake bolster to sleep for three days and three nights…
However, reality is always contrary to one's wishes What I had to do next was to go to an execution ground that was full of the stench of corpses and interrogate the corrupt execution ground er to find out where the rotten corpse was fro about it made me feel that my future was bleak…
I pushed away the pink doll-like Corpse on ishly walked to the door…
”Sun”
Hearing that call, I turnedher pink lollipop, and her beautiful eyes winked at me
”You knohat Pink has said before in the past still counts If you want to, I'll accept you as my disciple anytime, and even the Holy Temple and that teacher of yours with the nicknaht” can't make me hand over my disciple”
I was stunned for a moment, and was a little incomprehensive Could she mean that she wants to protect me?!
Corpse may be a necromancer whose peculiarity exceeds the limit, but to tell the truth, she sure is loyal
I pulled a rather weak, faint sirl didn't say anything, and happily waved her lollipop ferociously to bid farewell to ht Volume 1 Chapter 4 End]
