The White Necromancer

I am taking a walk in the forest this morning. This is a recent routine of mine.

I protect and buff myself with haste and protection, and magically hunt goblins and orcs while searching for herbs.

I can raise the job levels of the jobs white magicians, pharmacists, and black magicians at the same time. It is exactly the level of three birds with one stone.

By the way, it’s been almost three months since I started learning from my grandfather. Now I have gone up to Black Magician Lv12, White Magician Lv10, and Pharmacist Lv9.

It’s a good pace as it is, but recently I’m worried about going slower. Anyone can try a hunting ground in the distance. It’s significantly harder to do it in a closer range.

I have to think about raising the level in a efficient way.

“But there aren’t many prey today, unfortunately.”

While running through the woods quickly, I searched for the existence of prey. I’m pulling monsters away from areas where I placed mephitis receptacles, so they’ll come from over there and I can know where they are going to come from.

I’ve came across only a few slimes today. I don’t think I’ve hunted all the monsters, though

“Hmm……?”

I suddenly stopped. For some reason, there is an open space in the dense forest. I regularly patrol this forest.

Therefore, if there is such a place, it is hard to think that I will not notice it until now. Perhaps it is a space created yesterday or today.

While being cautious, I approached the space. In that space, the grass was cut cleanly, as if it had been cut with a sharp knife.

And grass is piled up in the center, and a green mound is formed. While observing the mound,

I discover something strange.

“This is … shoes …?”

Leather shoes

I was suspicious and slowly approached and picked it up.

“It’s been used a lot …”

The shoes have no holes, but they are full of scratches. The sole is completely out of shape, so it’s time to replace it with a new one.

After observing all the way, I put the shoes back in their original place.

“Why are there shoes …?”

Because there are no traces of blood around, I don’t think it was after someone was attacked. So why did anyone throw it away here?

Certainly, if you change to new shoes, you may throw away your old shoes.

“Well, it’s tattered. Can’t it be thrown away …”

“That remark is rude … I didn’t throw away my shoes …”

“Huh……?”

The sudden voice made me surprised. And, in front of me, a green mound suddenly collapses.

A green person appeared from the crumbling grass. The green man put his left hand on his waist and pointed his right finger at me.

“I just took it off while I was sleeping … It’s not good to say bad things about my shoes …”

“Um … I’m sorry …”

For the time being, I bowed my head. Perhaps the green man was satisfied with it, he lowered his hand and sat down there.

“Forgive me … I like honest children …”

“Oh, thank you……”

I raise my face and observe the other person. If you look closely, the green person was a woman with long hair that reached the waist of light green and beautiful eyes like jade.

She wears a hood on her head and a light green robe up to her outfit, giving her an overall green impression.

By the way, she will be about 20 years old. She creates a older sos atmosphere and her eyes are drowsy. Her atmosphere is an unfussy older sister type.

She smiled and talked to me.

“Having children means that the village is near … I want you to guide me to the village …”

“… Is it a guide? What would you do in the village?”

I was a little wary of her words. Yet she doesn’t look like a bad person.

However, she is a person buried in the grass in such a place. It’s too unfamiliar.

With her vigilant me elsewhere, she puts her hands on her stomach.

A grumbling noise filled the air.

“I’m hungry for her … I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday …”

“Um … Do you have any money …?”

“…………”

She looks sad at the question.

I sighed and thrust her hand gently into the magic bag.

“I have dried pom berries and juice. You may not be satisfied, but please bear with this.”

She takes out a bottle of dried fruit and a bottle of juice. It will last for a long time, so I carry it with me as an emergency food.

As soon as she saw me take out her food, her sleepy eyes were wide open.

And in an instant, the food she took out was robbed and quickly eaten.

“The boy is a lifesaver … My life was saved …”

“Huh, is that so …”

I tried to put out a glass, but she stopped. She was already drinking a jug.

She slowly eats the dried and small pom fruit to taste.

“My name is Lily Ental … I want you to call me Lily … What is the boy’s name …?”

“I’m Alex. I live in the village of Kettle.”

“Kettle village …?”

Lily has a confused gaze as if she were thinking about something. Of course, she doesn’t stop her hands and mouth during that time.

And she slowly adjusted her gaze to me.

“I remembered … the village where Gale lives …”

“Are you acquainted with my grandfather?”

“Grandpa …?”

Lily again looks confused.

She returns her gaze to me.

“I broke up with Gale thirty years ago … Gale is now old …”

“Thirty years ago …?”

I tilt my head. She looks like she’s about 20 years old, but does she really mean she’s that ancient?

Lily smiled at me with a smile.

“I’m an elf and have a longer life than humans …. Looking like this, I’ve lived for 200 years …”

“Ahhh”

Lily removes the hood. Then her long ears appeared.

I wanted to see a elf once, but I didn’t think I would meet a real elf in a place like this.

After all, it is indistinguishable from humans except for her ears.

“Now, I’m hungry … I want to say hello to Gale … I want you to take me home …”

“Well, it takes about an hour if you run. It takes three hours to walk. How do you get to the village?”

“Huh……?”

In my words, Lily looks desperate.

And she slowly shakes her head after she thinks for a while.

“The lie is not good …. This is a forest with orcs …. There is no reason for a human child to walk that distance alone …”

“Um … Air cutter!”

I fly the blade of the wind toward the sky.

Lily, who saw the five blades of the wind, was looking at me with her stunned face. And she murmured her for some reason.

“Alex is definitely Gale’s child … He should remember his own weight … And I think he should be bald …”

“No, my grandfather has hair, doesn’t he?”

Suddenly my grandfather was subject to a discussion of hair. For some reason, Lily looks confused.

And she looked like she was reluctant, she lifted her feet and began to put on her shoes.
