21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 518 - 514: Misumi Mikoto’s Promotion (Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions)

Within the Necromantic Space, Misumi Mikoto was curiously looking around.

Although it was not her first time entering Chen Yu's Necromantic Space, it was the first time she was brought into the castle he shared with Jounouchi Hiromi.

Looking at the castle with its pitch-black exterior and Gothic spires, Misumi Mikoto really felt that Chen Yu was far different from the Necromancer she had imagined.

Not only was he working as a doctor, healing the sick and helping the injured, but even his actual residence showed no signs of anything related to necromancy. There were neither skeletons nor corpses everywhere, nor any stench of death. Instead, the air was filled with a very pleasant fragrance of flowers.

If it weren't for being thrown into a blood pool by Chen Yu and soaking for half an hour during her last visit, Misumi Mikoto would have thought this place was nothing more than an island with a castle built on it.

"Teacher, why aren't there any skeletons or zombies around here?" Misumi Mikoto asked Chen Yu curiously.

"Because I don't like undead servants of the Skeleton Series or Corpse Series, so the undead servants here are mostly golems and spirits," Chen Yu explained to Misumi Mikoto. Realizing she had not noticed that all the maids here were spirits, he deliberately said to her, "Haven't you noticed that there is no sun in this world? All the maids in this castle are spirits!"

"Spirits? All of them...?!" Although she knew she was to become a Necromancer and had already had many interactions with souls, the thought that all the maids here were spirits still gave Misumi Mikoto the creeps. Fear of such things could be said to be an inherent instinct and nature of girls.

Seeing that Misumi Mikoto was indeed a bit scared, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, and he took her to the castle's glass greenhouse.

Upon entering the greenhouse, they happened to see Xiao Sanmao cleaning the small garden inside. Chen Yu greeted her proactively, "Kyoko, are you cleaning the courtyard? Do you remember Dr. Misumi? She's the forensic pathologist who dissected your body."

Xiao Sanmao stopped her work and, seeing Misumi Mikoto standing next to Chen Yu looking at her with surprise, greeted her with a smile, "Of course I remember. If it wasn't for Dr. Misumi discovering the SOS message I left behind, Xiao Hua couldn't have been saved, and I have always wanted to thank Dr. Misumi!"

"Eh? You're Xiao Sanmao...? Are you working as a maid for the teacher now?" Misumi Mikoto asked in surprise, looking at Xiao Sanmao in her maid outfit.

"Yes, after Doctor Chen Yu took my ashes out from the UDI, I have been working for him to repay the favor he did in helping me." Xiao Sanmao nodded at Misumi Mikoto, answering her question: "However, I can't do much, so I can only help Doctor Chen Yu clean the garden here, sweeping up some fallen leaves. Dr. Misumi, are you now a student of Doctor Chen Yu?"

"Yes, I am studying necromancy with the teacher." Misumi Mikoto nodded her head and looked around the greenhouse made of glass and steel supports, curiously asking Xiao Sanmao, "Do you just stay here all the time? Don't you get bored?"

"At first it was a bit boring, but after Doctor Chen Yu allowed me to borrow books from the library, it got better and wasn't so boring anymore." Xiao Sanmao answered Misumi Mikoto's question while also not forgetting to express her gratitude to Chen Yu.

Seeing Xiao Sanmao was faring well, Misumi Mikoto felt that this outcome might not be so bad after all.

After a brief chat, Misumi Mikoto followed Chen Yu through the greenhouse and arrived at the Mage Tower behind the castle.

"Teacher, didn't you say today I was to complete the profession change ritual? Shouldn't there be some preparations needed?" Misumi Mikoto remembered the purpose of Chen Yu's summons that day and asked him curiously.

Chen Yu nodded and led her into the ritual room of the Mage Tower, where Jounouchi Hiromi was already waiting.

"The ritual will be held here. To test how much you have learned from me recently, I have prepared the ritual materials for you, but you must conduct the ritual yourself," Chen Yu stopped in front of a green Bipedal Flying Dragon lying on the ground, and spoke to an astonished Misumi Mikoto.

However, Misumi Mikoto's attention was clearly caught by the Bipedal Flying Dragon in front of her, and she didn't catch what Chen Yu had said. Instead, she exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, is that a giant dragon?"

"No, this is merely a Bipedal Flying Dragon," Chen Yu shook his head, walked over to Jounouchi Hiromi, and with Misumi Mikoto gasping in astonishment, he gestured for Jounouchi Hiromi to explain.

"This is just a Sub-Dragon Species cultivated using the blood of a real giant dragon by Mr. Chen Yu. It's not a true giant dragon, but its bloodline is quite rich and is considered a type of dragon in some places." Jounouchi Hiromi began to explain upon receiving Chen Yu's indication: "Real giant dragons have strong limbs and wings, with wings separate from their forelimbs. However, this Sub-Dragon Species has its wings connected to the forelimbs, which is a clear distinguishing feature.

Moreover, a true giant dragon's body length generally ranges between thirty to fifty meters, while a Bipedal Flying Dragon is only about fifteen to twenty meters long, much smaller in size.

Besides that, although Bipedal Flying Dragons are not unintelligent, their intelligence is only at the level of animals, equivalent to well-trained war horses or hunting dogs. True giant dragons, however, possess intelligence equal or even superior to that of humans."

With Jounouchi Hiromi's explanation, Misumi Mikoto gradually came to terms with her surprise at seeing the dragon and listened attentively to the task Chen Yu had set for her.

"Meiqin, you must draw the Magic Circle necessary for the ritual yourself. The pattern and tools required are already prepared for you here. As for the offering for the ritual, it is this Bipedal Flying Dragon. I've already anesthetized it, so you can use it directly," Chen Yu introduced the items he had prepared for Misumi Mikoto, and also handed her a booklet: "This booklet records various matters you need to pay attention to for the profession change ritual. I've asked for three days off for you, so you have three days to complete the ritual. If you fail... you wouldn't want to know the outcome, so be sure to be thorough and careful."

"Only three days?" Misumi Mikoto took the booklet handed over by Chen Yu, and though it was thin, she still felt nervous and overwhelmed when she opened it and saw the complex Magic Circle and Runes; she was uncertain of meeting Chen Yu's requirements within three days.

Perhaps noticing Misumi Mikoto's anxiety and nervousness, Jounouchi Hiromi said to her reassuringly with a smile: "Although Mr. Chen Yu is asking you to do it by yourself, and we won't help you, if you have any questions or if there's anything you don't understand during these three days, you can ask us. We might not physically assist you, but we will still answer your questions, so don't worry. As long as you carefully follow the instructions in the booklet provided by Mr. Chen Yu, there will be no problem."
