chapter 872: the cursed necromancer king! (4)



jacob stood there, listing about the necromancy from the cursed necromancer king. although he didn't show any reaction on the outside, he was fascinated inwardly.

after all, jacob only encountered the concept of necromancers in the legendary plains' valley of sunless dusk and never paid much attention to it because he had his hands full.

but that doesn't mean he wasn't curious about how living beings can use necromancy, and now he finally has the real picture from the cursed necromancer king.

furthermore, with the cursed necromancer king's acknowledgment, jacob had already discovered that the cursed necromancer king was a living necromancer who was betrayed by the alive faction and turned into this.

moreover, this cursed necromancer king didn't seem evil as the legends described him, but in jacob's eyes, he was definitely foolish for believing in others. to this point, the cursed necromancer king's words held no falsehood, so he let him continue since he wanted to know what he was getting at by telling him so much.

"...so, between becoming a puppet of dark beings and death, i chose the latter. around that time, when i was about to take my own life, my prime minister found a way to get rid of this curse, which was to perform a blood sacrifice to the death law.

'so, that's what happened, huh?' jacob thought with a profound look in his eyes, 'unless he can trick my eyes of judge, he really wants to die despite his partial immortality. but for what? just for those people, because he committed an unforgivable sin, for he trapped here, or has he lost everything he cares for? immortality is not for those who don't want it. only those who can go against everything and are willing to sacrifice everything can get a glimmer...'

after a little while, jacob finally said, "one last question: if i lift the curse, and you die, does that mean this law essence will also be gone?"

"no, law essence is the purest state of laws, a gift from the universe for the fortuitous ones; it won't wither nor deplete." the cursed necromancer king replied.

jacob nodded before he looked at elia and said, "follow me."

he then started walking towards the entrance point under the cursed necromancer king's flickering eyes without any hint of fear or nervousness, while elia was the opposite.

but the cursed necromancer king didn't seem to have any intention of stopping jacob. "if you ended up lifting the curse..." the cursed necromancer king's voice rang again, making jacob stop in his tracks. the cursed necromancer king continued, "once i passed away, please do me another favor and see if you can find a little golden brocade bell. it belonged to my little daughter. she loved to play with it and run around the palace with it. just bury it here if. that's all..."

jacob started walking again without looking at the cursed necromancer king, and elia silently followed. her mood was complicated and even melancholy.

just as jacob's figure entered the entrance, his cold voice sounded in the dark chamber, "i'll see to it!"
