Chapter 222 - Unfinished Business (III): Necromancer Legacy (2/2)
Still, my exploration senses wanted to dive deep here, and see it for myself. It does not beat real-time exploration other than an exploration done only by watching a video.
”Let's take a look inside and see for ourselves.”
Everyone nodded and we went into the mansion's door, opening it. A smell of dust wafted through the air and some sort of antique smell welcomed us. Similar to what the video in the past timeline, everything here looks exactly the same.
But as soon as I fully entered the mansion, a notification popped out on my interface.
[Necromancer Legacy]
[One of your professions, Necromancer has been detected. Legacy quest for the Necromancer class has been unlocked. Completing the Legacy Quest will allow you to upgrade your Necromancer job into Overlord of the Dead. Your main class, Versatile will not be affected by this change.]
Accept the Legacy Quest?
Yes/No
Before I can even properly understand what is happening, a familiar voice resounded over the mansion.
”It seems you have finally come, young man. And it seems you have also collected quite a number of souls than expected. Not bad, not bad at all.”
Everyone immediately went to high alert when they heard someone's voice.
”An enemy?!” Dolly immediately went to battle stance, ready to conjure magic.
”Everyone, do not panic. I am not an enemy. I came here with no ill intention. Please lower your guards,” the owner of the voice appeared from the grand staircase in front of us, descending like a gentleman.
”Ah! Isn't that guy the Lich King we met on that dungeon dive we had, Master?” Lina immediately noticed.
”Oh, it looks like you still remember me, huh? Good, good. You score 10 points to me,” he said before he arrived, allowing everyone who have not seen him finally sees who was talking.
”A lich?! That is a very powerful entity! We are no match for him!” Goro didn't expect to see a lich with a domineering aura like the Lich King so I guess he is afraid.
”Welcome everyone. I am known as the Knight Lich King by everyone even though I am not even a king. I am just a normal knight who managed to get the ability to become a lich. Whoever dubbed me with a title like King this must be dumb enough to mistake me as one. But I am not going to keep ostracizing whoever gave me this title. It seems like you guys have stumbled here huh?”
”Although we stumbled here, we are also not just randomly exploring since my target is to find you in the Marshlands of the Damned and complete the quest.”
”Yes, I know you are here for that. But, what took you so long though? It's been a while since we last met. I even thought you gave up on the quest,” the Knight Lich King said with a sad tone.
”Uh... if you just stayed there, I might have already accomplished tasks there too but you disappeared after clearing the quest. Since you are a Lich, I assume you are here and I am right.”
”You know this undead guy, Bladeheart? Is he a monster or something?” she asked,
”No... this is one of the first story-related quests I received during the beginning. He is the NPC that has given me the quest.”
”You must be one of his companions. I greet you, young lady. I may look like this but I am not a harmful individual. I don't kill people without any reasonable reason. Besides, your friend here who received my quest is pretty strong now, I don't think I can easily harm you with him here. Not only that, but some people here are also pretty strong.”
”An intelligent NPC? That's amazing! You are like Queen Tanya!”
”Oh? Queen Tanya? She is finally a queen huh? I didn't expect that development!”
I frowned when I heard the Knight Lich King said that, does he have some sort of connection to Queen Tanya that I am not aware of?
