Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 284 Qualification Test

Wolf Ingmar. Cardin had heard of it too. As a child of the Ingmar family, he had to learn the family history.

In the history that Cardin learned, the person mentioned most often was the first head of the family, Wolf Ingmar.

"The first head of the family..." He became the first noble necromancer in the Kingdom of Libera. He laid the foundation for necromancy and became the master of all necromancers.

After his death, he became a legend and an idol for all necromancers.

Wolf Ingmar, the first head of the Ingmar family, who disappeared one day, was unexpectedly met here.

"So, you mean you are my ancestor?" Cardan laughed dryly, slowly looking at Wolf. Like the residents of Neropolis, his body was translucent like a ghost.

"It's an honor to meet you." Not knowing how to address his ancestors, Cardin decided to greet them first, bowing respectfully.

"Charlotte actually has a child? She's always been a loner, so I didn't expect this to happen. By the way, how is Charlotte doing lately? The last time I saw him, he was 8 stars."

"He has passed away."

"what?"

"The king, who was played around by the demons, executed my father."

"I see." Even though Charlotte died, Wolfe was not moved at all. If you ask him why, the answer is obvious.

"No one is immortal, and death comes to everyone." This sentence appears in all the necromancer books written by Wolfe.

Moreover, he was a person who did not need to have emotions. Death was too familiar to him, and the death of a descendant did not make him sad.

"Wolf. Is the reason for the disappearance tied to Neropolis?" Wolf suddenly disappeared from the world.

Without leaving any trace, it disappeared from the world as if it had never existed. This is also recorded in the history of Ingmar's family.

"Charlotte is the necromancer who followed the trail I left and eventually arrived here."

"Apart from my father, no other necromancer has found this place?"

“After I arrived, a few people came, but they were afraid they would disappear and went back quickly.”

"I see."

“Some have become residents and live here.”

“Why don’t they give them these clothes and belongings?”

"Those guys had bad luck. They came to the city when I left, and when I came back, they had become residents."

"Ah..." Then Charlotte is really lucky. Cardin laughed dryly in his heart and looked at Wolf.

"I didn't expect to see Ingmar's offspring again so soon. Anyway, welcome."

"It's an honor to meet you." Wolf nodded expressionlessly and motioned for Cardin to follow him.

"Anyway, welcome to Neropolis. Young necromancer, I will show you the way."

Neropolis is just as the legend says. Ancient necromancers left behind all kinds of knowledge, and the place is filled with the highest quality materials needed by necromancers.

"Can I take these away?" Cardin asked Wolfe, pointing to the top-grade materials piled up haphazardly on the Necromancer's Street.

"It is free to learn knowledge. However, it is impossible to take these materials out. Why? Do you want to take them with you?"

“After seeing these materials, is there any necromancer who doesn’t want to take them away?” Hearing Cardin’s answer, Wolfe seemed to agree and chuckled softly.

"Of course, there is a way. We just need their permission."

"them?"

"Ancient necromancer. The master here." The city of the dead created by the ancient necromancer. Do they really exist here?

Cardin felt like he had entered history, looking at Wolfe with his heart beating faster.

"How about it? If you want to take these materials away, I can help you."

"Can I ask you for that?" Hearing Cardin's words, Wolf nodded and started walking again.

"But, Mr. Wolfe. Where are we going now?"

"I'll take you to see the owner of this place."

"Ancient necromancer?"

"As a living person who has come to a place where living people are not allowed to enter, shouldn't I greet the owner of this place and ask for permission?"

"Yes." For some reason, Wolfe's face seemed full of anticipation.

Was he looking at Cardin with sparkling eyes because of some expectation?

Cardin, who had no idea of ​​Wolfe's inner thoughts, could only follow him silently.

after awhile.

"This castle is where the master of Neropolis lives." It was a rough castle. Wolf stopped in front of the castle and briefly explained to Cardin.

"Go in. Nothing special."

"Ah, before that, can I ask a question?" Hearing Cardin's words, Wolf nodded impatiently, motioning him to ask the question.

"The people here, no, all the souls are the ones who came to Neropolis when they were alive?"

Not all the people you meet after entering the city are necromancers.

There were people who used swords and guns, and there were also people who shot arrows. Most importantly, none of them could feel the power of the necromancer at all.

"No. There are also people who settled here after wandering the world of the dead, and there are also people who were bound by the curse of ancient necromancers and spent their lives here. It's very diverse."

"I see." Cardin seemed to have satisfied his curiosity and showed a relieved expression. Wolfe chuckled and nodded.

"No problem, just follow me."

"Yes." Apart from the lack of any sense of life, this was an ordinary castle with nothing special about it.

There was no one walking around in the castle, and there was only silence in the vast castle.

After walking through a long corridor and climbing up the stairs repeatedly, Wolfe finally stopped in front of a door engraved with ornate patterns.

Click. Did the knocking seem unnecessary? Wolfe opened the ornate door expertly, and Cardin hurriedly followed him inside.

"It's been a long time since a living person found this city."

"You are quite a capable young necromancer. How did you find this place?"

"Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

As I walked into the gorgeous door, I heard all kinds of sounds.

Looking around, I saw a circular space in front of me, like a court, with many eyes cast from above.

"Hello, seniors. My name is Cardin." Cardin was not panicked at all and greeted everyone who was looking at him respectfully.

"What a rare human being."

"Aren't we human beings too?"

"Isn't that guy who came here lately very picky?"

"What's his name? Charlotte?" The ancient necromancers were chatting with each other. Seeing this, Wolf sighed impatiently.

"Let's save the small talk for later. This guy wants to stay here for a while, can you allow him to?"

"How can we allow living people to stay here?"

"If I live here, what will happen? Don't you know best, Wolf?"

"If you want to die, I won't stop you. If you want to continue studying necromancy here with us, then come along."

None of the ancient necromancers objected. As if welcoming the arrival of a new member, Cardin laughed dryly in his heart.

For them who have been living in the soul state for a long time, it seems that the word "death" no longer has much meaning.

"Well, I'll take that as your permission, and move on to the next thing."

"Next thing?"

"Anything else you want to say?" In response to the ancient necromancer's question, Wolf pointed at Cardin.

"I want to give him a chance to take the qualification exam." Hearing this, Cardin looked at Wolfe in surprise.

"Qualification certification?" What is this all of a sudden? What qualifications do I need to prove? What exams do I need to take?

"Qualification certification? To take that exam, you must meet sufficient conditions, right?" The ancient necromancer who seemed to be the leader asked with his head tilted, and Wolf answered confidently.

"Hasn't the requirement of being a living human been met?" What exam can a living human take in the City of the Dead?

What on earth was this? Cardin watched the conversation between the ancient necromancer and Wolf with puzzled eyes.

"It looks like you have something from Neropolis." The ancient necromancer's eyes fell on the white coat, old shoes and necklace.

"Do you think that's all?" Wolfe chuckled and pointed at the black dagger hanging on Cardan's waist.

"That, that?"

"It's the symbol of the king."

"Why do humans have that kind of thing?"

"Why would a young necromancer have something that the ancient king hid?" Cardan, who heard the conversation, was puzzled and asked Wolf.

"Um, Mr. Wolfe. Wasn't this sword... brought out from here by my father?"

"No, I only gave the dress, the necklace and the shoes."

"What is this sword?"

"I asked Charlotte to find it. Prepare it in advance. Charlotte seems to have taken my advice very well."

"Ah. What is the qualifying exam?"

"It is a test to see if you are qualified to be the king of Neropolis."

"What? Become the king here?"

"Become the king of Neropolis, and you can take the top materials you have always dreamed of and return to where you live."

"Can't the king of Neropolis only be a dead person?"

"No. Only a living person can be the king here." What does that mean? The king of the city of the dead must be a living person?

"Do you know what the ultimate goal of Neropolis is?"

"I have no idea……"

"The knowledge and power of Neropolis was known to the human world. But these ancient necromancers foolishly ignored it."

"The necromancers living in Neropolis are dead and cannot return to the human world." Neropolis was created because of the desire for immortality and the strongest power.

eternal life.

It was accomplished because of death, but it could not prove the strongest power.

Of course, they believed that through necromancy they could return to the human world even after death, but this was not the case.

In the human world, no matter how hard one tries, one cannot take away the people belonging to Neropolis.

Plans made thousands of years ago were shattered before they could shine.

"Cardan. The reason you came here is for power, right?"

"Yes."

"Then become the king of Neropolis. Become a human who helps the ancient necromancer fulfill his wish."

"But why not make such a suggestion to my father..."

"He left Neropolis in search of the sword and never returned. Although he studied hard for the qualification exam, it seemed to be of no use."

If there is no downside, it is not a bad proposal. As long as he masters the power of Neropolis, Cardan will be able to gain greater power than he currently has.

"You're qualified enough. Now the only thing left is a choice. How about it? Do you want to take the exam?" Cardin seemed to consider it for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's try it."
