White Necromancer – C11

I and Cordo were walking outside the village. This is to put to a mephitis receptacle every couple of feet around the village.

Gilly is working separately with Gran and Mia with Dolly.

“Well, is it okay here?”

When I walked a few feet, I dropped the mephitis receptacle. I have already dropped four. This was my final one.

Everyone has five quotas each, and the work should be completed completed in about an hour.

“…………”

Cordo had been silent for quite a while now. He has a sullen look on his face. I like him more like this but the sullen atmosphere was starting to reach me. I sigh and ask Cordo.

“What happened today? Whats with the sullen look?”

“… When will Alex be able to use magic?”

“… Huh?”

I heard that Cordo wants me to be in the rearguard position in his party. Cordo wants to fight with a sword, it would be my job to magically support him from behind. Cordo is not good at getting rid of slime, which can be hard to slay with a sword.

But is that the reason why you are in a bad mood?

I’m only 5 years old. I can not be possibly expected to learn magic this early so I am by no means slow to learn magic. He’s out of his mind if he expects me to start learning by now.

In the first place, one becomes an adult at the age of fifteen in this world. Therefore, it is common to get a job between the ages of twelve and fifteen. I’ve never heard of anyone under the age of ten who got a job.

“It depends on my grandfather, but it may be usable next year at the earliest.”

“Really……”

Cordo responded quietly to my reply.

It must be unusual in this world to be able to use magic at the age of six. I’m sure Cordo would be happy, but this reaction is a little different.

“What’s wrong? Today’s Cordo is strange?”

“Yesterday, Dolly and Gran talked to me …”

“Dolly and Gran?”

The two have optimistic personalities, but I don’t think they would say anything that would offend Cordo.

For some reason, they get along with Cordo. Or is it not so close behind the scenes?

“They will be fifteen next year. They will leave the village next spring …”

“Hey! That’s right!”

I was surprised by Cordo’s words, but that is nothing special. Young people who want to raise their flag, make a place for themself in the world, in the future often leave the village at the same time they become an adult.

Dolly and Gran were willing to do so, it was still a feeling but they seemed to be the type.

Probably, I used to belong to the swordfighter guild of the Pendragon kingdom and completed the guild quest.

They appeared to me to be young adventurers.

The game starts with collecting herbs and getting rid of goblins, so the two should be able to grow reasonably.

“So from next year, there will be only one regular member of the security group …”

“Eh …. Is that the only thing you are so worried about?”

“What do you say! The security of the village is going down! This is a terrible situation!”

“Hah, yeah…”

Cordo’s eyes are serious. He seems to have seriously thought that the security group members were useful to the village in some capacity.

I’m pretty sure if I told the truth he would do something stupid such as demanding a duel.. honesty isn’t always the best policy.

“Cordo. You must consider other possibilities.”

“Such as..?”

“They will surely grow up and come back. The security group will shrink temporarily, but this is necessary for the security group make a leap.”

“Hmm …”

At my words, Cordo thinks with his arms crossed. He probably thought it was reasonable.

However, he is swaying between the merits and demerits of the weakness in front of him and the balance.

“I think we need the support of the leader to become stronger. This is where your morale will be tested. You must go forward and encourage them.”

“ I see…. this does sound reasonable. “

Cordo is ruminating my words. Despite not having any hair on his face yet, he began stroking his chin.

Well, it’s been ten years before I left the village, and during that time I’ll give up and deal with Cordo. The security of the village will be safe as long as William is fine.

“By the way, what is the current level of the swordfighters in Cordo?”

“Come on? I don’t know.”

“Huh……?”

Certainly, if you do not belong to a guild, you will not be able to get a guild card with the status.

However, when you level up, the news should come to your mind. Or is this system different as well?

“Well, what is the swordfighter skill that Cordo can use?”

“Bash and Walk Rye.”

“I see.”

Bash is the initial skill of the swordfighter Lv1. Walk Rye is a skill that you can learn with Swordfighter Lv5.

In other words, Cordo is likely to be a swordfighter Lv5-9. If you are a swordfighter Lv10, you should be able to do the shield bash.

However, I feel that Bash and Walk Rye have been usable since last year. Hasn’t Cordos level become any higher in the past year?

I look at Cordo with a disappointing feeling. Cordo didn’t understand why I was looking like this so he had in turn look at me questioningly.

However, he seems to come up with something, and he speaks with heavy words.

“You say you will learn magic in the next year. What job will you decide on?”

“A black magician, a white magician, and a pharmacist.”

“Huh?”

With my answer, Cordo becomes filled with surprise.. After being stunned for a while, he turns his eyes, now filled with thought toward me. He puts a hand on my shoulder.

“For children, it’s better to have big dreams. But it’s also important to master one job. First of all, I think it’s better to choose only one, right?”

I really felt like telling him ”With all your worldly knowledge?”

“Well, thank you for your advice.”

I had already even devised a system which I would planned to use for my training.

Simply train black magic in the forest from morning till noon, and train white magic from noon until evening. And from the evening, it’s just simply plan to train in the ways of the pharmacist.

If this is the case, it will be possible to efficiently grow all jobs without wasting time.

I know that Grandpa has mastered the wise man and the alchemist. If possible, he wants to meet the requirements for two jobs by the age of ten.

Then, while raising two jobs, you can go around the world at the age of fifteen. In that situation, it’s really easy to aim for a necromancer. It’s perfect planning for me.

“Now, let’s go. It’s about time everyone is back.”

“Um, let’s go back. And my recommendation is a black magician. It’s good to remember.”

However, goblins and slimes do not raise the level very much. If you’re going to have a party, I must raise Cordo’s level. That’s so he can ultimately at least fight off orcs.

Thinking about that, Cordo started walking forward. I walked after Cordo, dropping the last mephitis receptacle.
