Chapter 4: 003 Imperial Prince is a Gravekeeper -2
As I studied the distancing backs of the two farmers, the [Mind’s Eye] skill showed me their current conditions
——-
[Na Physical labour
+ Currently in a blessed state]
——-
There it was, the status info so short that someone who couldn’t be bothered toabout that right now
Blessed? I only drew a cross with h?
Despite ious, the divinity inside my body still leaked out and the skill activated on its own More ih, I didn’t possess any skill called ‘Blessing’
I sank into a deep conte a certain skill
‘[Horrifying Curse] Da pain’
It seemed that its attribute had been flipped on its head
…Well, it shouldn’t pose any probleht?
Eiii, what could possibly happen, anyway? I , so it should be fine
Even rotting food would serve asit If you didn’t die after getting hit byin and of itself
If soht away With these thoughts in mind, I decided not to worry about the ravekeeper The ‘Priest’ that maintained the monastery, buried the dead, and performed the purification ceremony
Indeed, there was no need for s of the outside world
Right No need to mind the outside world
My job was to siot-infested corpses inside the burial pits, and then perform the purification ceremony so no one would turn into zombies That’s it I felt no dissatisfaction towards what I had to do
In fact, I didn’t feel any repulsion towards the dead bodies, which probably had so to do with the effects ofin its oay and could be fun at times too
However… This ain’t it!!
“Imperial Prince-nim…! Imperial Prince-niain while pulling a wagon with great difficulty this ti 4 or 5 corpses instead of one body they lugged around previously The accoots were simply an additional bonus
I fell into despair after seeing that wagon
“Goddahed at least so the burial pits andthe corpses were easy, since I could just turn them into zombies and make them do all the hard work Afterwards, all I had to do was close the graves and perform the perfunctory purification ceremony That’s it
It was possible to take care of everything so effortlessly, but I couldn’t utiliseme a visit far too often
In the end, I had to shovel, shovel, and then shovel so around the bodies and perform the burial properly…
This had to be the zenith of all hard labours in this world, period
Goddarandson, supposedly beloved by the Gods, had to perform such stupidly hardcore labour
This didn’t hest esteemed Goddess of love and mercy, Gaia! Have we become sworn enemies now?
I inwardly threw curses and insults in the direction of the Goddess that the Theocratic Ereatly as I stared at the corpses
“How many days has it been since they died?!”
“Pardon? Oh, uh, maybe 3 or 4 days…?”
“…What about the cremation?”
“As you can see, we didn’t do it”
The wagon suddenly began bucking wildly And then, three zombies promptly stood up
-Ku-ohhhh!!
While spitting out phlegon
“Uwaaaahk?!”
The farmers cried out in panic
I became utterly speechless by this scene hell, I was even tenore theravekeeper job? Being thrown into the arroaned under rasp Then, I began s the heads of the zombies
The first blow, second, and then, the third
Zombies collapsed as their heads exploded Blood splattered on my face I scowled reflexively at this
After wiping the blood aith the back ofbodies
Dmn it, this was still a part of my job
If only my profession was a Warrior or a Barbarian… however, my current ‘job’ was that of a Necroht of sneaky cheapness, one that simply threw a bunch of zoht for you
Such was the characteristic of this ‘dark th stat would be any good I definitely had a weak-ass Priest’s physique But myexercise I’ve done lately, which barely ed to propwith zoed like this, you know”
I tossed the corpse with the busted head down the burial pit The far down their faces
Soon,tired, I sat down on a to to pull so, I accessed my item
I pulled out a boiled potato and took a bite out of it, with bloodied hands and all This couldn’t really be helped though–trying to washevery time would be a waste of time
Also, this body ht, or maybe I should thank the divinity insidethis body
“E-excuse me…”
It was then that the farmers, finished with their quest to help lances with each other as if they were scared of the sudden change in my mood, and then, they cautiously opened their e has been cursed by an evil spirit B-because, how can a plague like this one be…”
An evil spirit?
That wasn’t even funny, dude Looks like these gullible fools got suckered into believing yet another baseless superstition here
“W-well, Imperial Prince-ni the evil spirit fro me to become an exorcist too?
I frowned heavily towards the farht now, I’m a Priest only in name And yet, you want so that makes sense, will ya?”
Unfortunately, my job descriptionas I possessed divinity, I should be able to defeat all the undead in this place However, this was a really cruel thing to ask fro the Paladins that showed up like clockwork everyto do here?
“Besides, I’m only 15 years old Do you really want to entrust the exorcism to a 15-year-old kid?” [1]
The two farmers shrunk back since they also knew this point oh-so-well
“O-of course, but, but…”
“…The lord Paladins who visited the village the last tierous matter, I Paladin asholes
Just as I began hurling all sorts of curses at thes, haven’t you?”
“You’re an a that you could also purify the village…”
“What?”
What were they on about now? I stared at the two farmers with a puzzled look on ain
“After you baptised us, eren’t struck down by the plague”
I tilted ot lucky, that’s all
“We’ve been duue-infected bodies the whole day But then, rather than falling ill, we…”
The far ever
“It’s as if we’ve been filled with lots of energy for the past few days”
My tilting head leaned even further to the side
