Episode 79
“You know? Mastering the profession of a necromancer is not the end.”
You need to be level 200 to master one job in Horizon.
After that, you can choose a completely different job to enjoy a new experience, or find a related job that will strengthen your existing power.
So, do I really need to find another job after level 200?
That’s not it.
“High Necromancer, the upper class of Necromancer. You can do enough.”
If the existing necromancer is a college student, the high necromancer is a graduate student.
“You’re a budding guy, so I’m suggesting it. Hee hee, how are you?”
Gould asked with a smirk, with the face of a rat trader.
“… … .”
He has a face like that, but I know he’s a high-ranking NPC with a very high level.
With Gould’s support, that wouldn’t be a bad choice either.
however… … .
‘It’s a little different from what I thought.’
Fafnil shook his head.
“sorry. I appreciate your words, but I cannot accept that offer.”
“Well, then, good choice… … . what?”
Gould’s eyes flashed. The surrounding candles flickered and went off and on again.
“why! Could it be that you tried the other side?”
Every time I hear a word, my life is raging.
“Not like that. I’ve never thought of Master’s school and Skeleton Soldiers as weak.”
“Then why?”
If you don’t say it well here, the good feeling will be greatly reduced.
Fafnir took a deep breath and said.
“Because I discovered new possibilities.”
“Possibility?”
“If I become a High Necromancer now, I will only learn what Master taught me. But I am not Master. Even if I become a High Necromancer someday, I want a High Necromancer with my own characteristics.”
“hmm… … .”
Gould’s life is gone.
“Sheesh… … . quick-witted guy. I tried to make you a proper disciple and have you do all sorts of chores.”
“hahahaha.”
“i get it. High Necromancer, let’s do something that never happened.”
Fortunately, the excuse seemed to work well.
‘Even if I’m not lucky, how can I get over it?’
Fafnir breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, come to think of it, Walpurgis night.”
“Ah yes.”
“It was delayed. The kingdom is in a state of chaos right now, so everyone seems to be in no mood to have leisurely gatherings.”
“ah.”
For warlocks who deal with darkness and corpses, this situation would be like an end-of-year bargain sale.
I have to sweep it all right away, but if I tried to gather and talk, it wouldn’t be the situation.
“It’s not that great.”
“yes?”
“Because there are more guys aiming for our necks than we thought.”
Black magicians have many enemies.
Of course, the Zen-affiliated denominations that always have their lights on.
Local lords and monsters blinded by treasure.
Even fellow warlocks could become enemies.
“There are those who are stained with madness or move for profit, but there are also those who are like the Church of the End or the Church of Demons.”
The Church of the End is a monster force with the goal of destroying the world.
Literally the main villain.
‘Well, in the original novel, the flush caught them all beforehand, so it only looked like a shuttle.’
The Demon Cult is literally a black magician who worships the devil.
The boss monsters on this side summon powerful demons when cornered, but if you are lucky, they give you a high-ranking dark attribute item, so they are popular with users.
“The world is going into chaos, so people who don’t even know what to do are installing it. We have to buy ourselves too.”
Gould, with a rat-like face, sighed.
“You be careful too. I’m sure I’ll survive, but you’re the first one to die if something happens.”
“… … .”
As Fafnir was still, Gould came over and slapped him on the shoulder.
“By the way, I’ll have to pay for rejecting the master’s offer, right?”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing special, I just have to do one request from you.”
After speaking, Gould moved on to the main topic.
“Hundreds of years ago, the demon king Lacheln, who led the army of the dead, attempted to conquer this world. I almost succeeded, but I couldn’t achieve that goal because I was blocked by the might of the brave and allied forces.”
The history of the Horizon world should be found in the library or read like this.
In the second half of the novel, there was a rough history as a wiki, but the details had to be looked up directly due to information control.
“There was such a person.”
“okay. He’s a demon king, but he’s also a very capable warlock and scholar. I have mastered dark magic and curses from all over the world, some of which are truly bizarre.”
The most powerful black magician ever!
Fafnir knew for a moment what Gould would say.
“The traces of such a warlock were found in the Aluin Wilderness in the northern part of the kingdom. It’s mostly rumor, but if it’s true, do some research.”
– Gould wants to request a new quest, ‘Finding Traces of Lecheln (Normal)’.
-Do you accept the quest? (Y/N)
‘This explanation is not trivial.’
My current level is Magic, but for some reason, my senses whispered that there must be something more.
‘It didn’t appear in the novel, but… … .’
Fafnir received the quest once.
“It is a natural thing to do as a disciple.”
“Giggle, they say they do it right away when they smell something. You are my disciple after all.”
– A new quest, ‘Finding Lehelen’s Trace (Normal)’ has been created.
[Finding the traces of Lecheln]
-Rating: Normal
[target]
-Arrival in Aluin Free City (0/1)
– Confirming the truth of the rumors about finding the traces of Lacheln (0/1)

* * *
After receiving the quest, Fafnir sighed.
‘I’ll have to put a lot of effort into this.’
Aluin Wilderness is where monsters of level 220 are located.
Rumor has it that it is full of undead monsters, and that it is a 24-hour hunting ground.
‘I have to get a high class or another job to be able to do hunting that can be called hunting.’
Let’s tackle other things first.
Fafnir immediately went to the Pendragon lord’s castle and met the lord.
“Oh, isn’t that the adventurer who stopped the orcs? Are you doing well here?”
“Yes, thanks. By the way, lord, I actually have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“You must know that Archduke Gowyn rebelled, right?”
“… … I know. Have you come to tell me the will of Grand Duke Gowyn?”
“no. In fact, I want to tell you that the rightful heir to the kingdom lives.”
“What do you mean by that, His Majesty the King is sure… … .”
“Princess Elizabeth is alive and leading the revival army. It is called the Baran Kingdom Revival Army.”
“I can’t… … !”
– Inform 3 nobles of the name of the Kingdom Resurrection Army (1/3)
While visiting Gould, he even handled the quest to promote the Revival Army!
Baron Pendragon looked surprised, then sighed.
“I want to help the revival army too, but right now the castle is full of orcs, so I can’t afford it. If possible, could you go to a nearby city and ask for reinforcements? If the reinforcements come and I can afford it, I think I can find out about the revival army.”
“All right.”
– A new quest, ‘Request for Salvation Army (Normal)’ has been created.
From noble mtl dot com.
– Upon completion of the quest, the relationship between the Kingdom Resurrection Army and Byron City is changed from ‘Normal’ to ‘Friendly’.
*If the quest is rejected, the achievement of the completion condition for the promotion of the reconstruction army will return to the previous achievement.
‘It’s a moderately excused use.’
Fafnir grasped his intentions at once.
‘The army of Archduke Gowin is strong, and the revival army is the first time I’ve heard of it, so I want to join that side. But it must be too subtle to betray the royal family.’
I wanted to argue right away, but if I did, I wouldn’t be able to come back to this city again.
‘Then at this time… … .’
Fafnil said.
“Lord, can we just deal with all the orcs?”
“uh? uh! hmm… … . yes.”
“If there is no need to call reinforcements, wouldn’t it be okay not to call them?”
“It is, but… … . Will it work?”
Orcs embedded in mountains are twice as dangerous as Orcs in the plains.
“Don’t worry.”
Fafnir said calmly.
“If the lord gives me the authority, I will take care of the rest.”
I’ll take responsibility, so I’m just asking for a lot of support.
‘If it goes wrong, it’s the adventurer’s fault, so there’s no particular problem.’
It was Horizon’s unique advantage that it could be made without a quest.
After a while, a new quest appeared for Byron City users.
– A new emergency large-scale quest ‘Eradication of Byron’s threat (rare)’ has been created.
[Eradication of Byron’s threat]

Rewards marked with * are limited to Fafnir’s personal rewards.
appearance of the quest.
Rudeus, who joined after a while, asked with a surprised expression.
“Is this why you came here?”
“It’s not like that, but somehow I gained weight.”
“okay. But I don’t know if this will be ok. 5,000 horses… … .”
Rudeus is an excellent bard, but this case is different.
Even if he gathered a few players, there would be dozens of them, but it was not easy to pierce 5,000 Orcs with that, even with Fafnir.
“it’s okay.”
Fafnir shook his head and said.
“I have a strategy to attack the fortress.”
“Oh, what trick is that?”
“First of all, we gather some users. An urgent quest has also appeared. Seeing that the reward is good, I think I will collect it soon.”
“uh… … . hmm… … .”
Rudeus sighed.
“Can I be honest? The users of this city are too ragtag.”
This was exactly what Rudeus was thinking about.
Proper users are all busy concentrating on PVP.
In the end, the users who gather for the quest are nothing but gossipers!
“The proper level is a bit lacking, and the occupation group is also non-mainstream… … . There is no one who can help in the group fight.”
I can say stupid things because the broadcast is not turned on!
No matter how much Fafnir, if you lead them to attack the fortress, you will face many difficulties.
“You have to do it first to know.”
Fafnir and Rudeus went to the plaza and gathered players.
“I am Fafnir, the emergency quest leader. I was in charge of the attack on the Orc Fortress this time, and I have temporarily given you instructions. i look forward to.”
“What are you?”
“Wasn’t it led by a high-ranking NPC?”
Users who are agitated with a look of anxiety.
‘Isn’t it going well?’
A shadow fell on Rudeus’ face.
It was then.
“Wait, I’ve heard of it. If it’s Fafnir, its contribution is number one? Chimpnil?”
“Yes, that Fafnil.”
“Ah, lie.”
“no… … . Since you’re Fafnir, can you be a subjugation quest leader or something?”
A solo ranker who beat large guilds!
The name Fafnil was known to some extent even among ordinary users.
“If it’s real Fafnir, it’s worth a try?”
“I know… … .”
The trend of public opinion, which was initially unbelievable, is also reversed.
“Oh, I am Rudeus! I’ll give you a lot of buffs when you fight, so you don’t have to worry about debuffs or Sissigi (status abnormal skills).”
When Rudeus joined in, the general users also agreed.
“Isn’t this enough… … ?”
“I know. Would it be worth trying?”
“It’s okay, calm down. We just roll, and the real thing will be taken by ourselves.”
A user hit the shoulder of a colleague who was tilting his head and scolded him.
At that moment, Fafnir grinned.
“Hey, you did a good job talking about it.”
“yes?”
A user who is surprised when he is pointed out.
Fafnir looked around and continued talking.
“You said there was no reward. Don’t worry. If you do well, you will take responsibility and I will reward you separately.”
“… … yes.”
“Do you have any other questions?”
Others said nothing.
Fafnir nodded and continued.
“That’s all right. From now on, we will begin the operation to capture the Orc Fortress.”
