The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

What came into Ansu's view was a gravedigger knight dressed in jet-black armor.

The armor on the opponent's shoulder was slightly dented, and there were traces of blood that had long since dried.

There is only one Gravekeeper Knight who fits both of these characteristics.

"What happened, Ryan?"

Ansu was somewhat puzzled:

"Have you collected all the materials for the healing alchemical pigments?"

Amidst a series of hurried footsteps, Ryan arrived beside Ansu.

"I have indeed collected them all, but I'm not here to ask you to mix healing alchemical pigments."

Ryan shook his head, while subconsciously speeding up his speech.

"My brother was accidentally injured by a mutated magical creature while hunting it."

Since it was just a minor scratch, I initially thought it was nothing serious.

A few days ago, I suddenly experienced severe pain inside my body.

They couldn't even digest food, and even moving became extremely difficult.

Even the healing potion I bought on the black market had no effect whatsoever.

The situation even worsened.

As he spoke, Ryan took out a long horn with spirals all around it.

"You have learned some extraordinary knowledge about wizards from Lord Sandru, which may be of help to him."

I am willing to offer this long horn as payment.

Upon seeing the long horn in the hands of the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan, Anzu immediately sensed the immense energy contained within that horn.

At the same time, I also had some vague guesses about it.

At the same time, Ryan also informed Ansu of the unicorn's information:

"This is a unicorn's horn."

I had heard that unicorn horns could grant ordinary people abilities similar to those of wizards, so I bought one from the black market.

However, no way to apply it has been found.

Perhaps this will be useful to you too.

Is it possible for ordinary people to acquire wizarding abilities, derived from a unicorn's horn?

Ansu didn't know whether the rumor Ryan mentioned was true or false.

But Ansu's alchemical talent subtly sensed it.

He could sense that this unicorn horn could be used to formulate new alchemical pigments.

If desired, it can even be used to enhance the Shadow Dragon.

The Shadow Dragon's current horns are merely decorative objects containing shadow elements and dragon blood.

No special abilities.

Perhaps this unicorn horn could be combined with other alchemical materials.

This grants Shadow Dragon some new abilities.

This also gave me an additional boost in combat power.

Ansu thought to herself.

So he accepted the unicorn horn from Ryan and prepared to accept Ryan's offer.

"I can give it a try."

Where is he?

Was it also in the area where the burial people and grave keepers lived?

Seeing that Ansu was willing to give it a try, Ryan's expression beneath his armor immediately became more excited.

But after hearing Ansu's question, he shook his head.

"No, he is not the Gravekeeper Knight."

He is an elemental priest.

However, it's not far from the accommodation area.

Elemental Priest?

This was the first time Ansu had ever heard of this profession.

Judging from the name.

Since it's a priest, it's highly unlikely that it's a profession purely related to physical constitution, unlike a knight.

Perhaps this could grant an attribute that enhances mental power, or even an entry related to spellcasting.

Ansu decided not to linger in the cemetery.

After all, he still didn't know exactly what problem Ryan's brother had encountered.

Every minute of delay increases the danger to the other party.

The chance of obtaining the class called Elemental Priest will also decrease.

They will have less protection when they take the entrance exam for the wizarding academy afterwards.

So after leaving the area where the wizard's body was buried, Anzu and Ryan immediately mounted their skeletal warhorses.

Thus, they left the Rose Cemetery.

Then, amidst the resounding thuds of horseshoes hitting the ground, the two continued their journey, making numerous twists and turns.

Before long, we arrived at a complex of buildings consisting of a large number of buildings of different styles and heights.

Followed by.

As Ryan navigated the route with practiced ease, the two arrived at a wooden cabin.

From the outside, this wooden house is not particularly eye-catching.

However, in various corners of the area near the house, there are nearly 20 elemental spirits containing various elements.

Although they all looked different, they were all staring intently at everyone who passed by in the vicinity.

"Since she's an elemental priest, she obviously possesses abilities related to the elements."

Ansu thought to herself, and then began to observe these elemental spirits.

At first, these elemental spirits were also keeping an eye on Ansu, who had come to the vicinity.

But after noticing that Ansu had come with Ryan, and recognizing the familiar aura emanating from Ryan, she lowered her guard.

Then he continued to observe his surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, Ansu and Ryan entered the wooden house guarded by many elemental spirits.

What came into view was a young man wearing a blood-stained robe, lying on the bed with a pained expression on his face.

Scattered around the bed were bottles with only a few drops of liquid remaining.

The colors of the residual liquid varied.

But they all exuded an aura of healing and holy light.

Ansu guessed that these were all inferior healing potions that the other party had bought from the black market and that had been diluted.

A short while later.

The young man lying in bed also heard the door open.

So he struggled to get up and looked at the two of them.

He forced a smile through his pained expression:

"You must be Mr. Ansu, the one my brother mentioned who once painted a giant dragon with his paintbrush, right?"

Nice to meet you, I'm Ryan's brother.

Just call me the Elemental Priestess.

Ansu nodded, acknowledging the person the other person described.

They didn't dwell on the fact that the other party hadn't introduced themselves.

On the way here, Ansu had already heard about the relevant matters from Ryan:

In exchange for greater power, Ryan's brother sacrificed his name to the strongest elemental spirit.

This resulted in an additional boost to both one's own strength and the opponent's strength.

But in contrast.

Ryan's brother's soul also lost the ability to respond to his name.

If someone else uses the name, the soul will automatically block that name.

Neither the old name nor the new name can be heard or perceived.

Only when addressed as the 'Elemental Priest' can one hear the voices of others.

"Elemental Priest".

Do you remember what that mutated magical creature looked like?

If you remember, describe it to me.

"Of course I remember."

The elemental priest nodded, then briefly described the other's appearance to Ansu:

It is made of flesh and blood.

The edges of its body don't resemble those of a living organism; instead, they have sharp angles that don't look like natural creations.

Even in some parts of the body, there are structures that resemble golem parts.

"When I encountered these monsters before, I saw them peel off large amounts of flesh and blood from corpses."

Then, by using the ether in the surrounding environment, these flesh and blood are reshaped.

They were then transformed into similar, but slightly smaller, mutated monsters of the same type.

"Is it a mutated monster, possibly a flesh golem, capable of self-replication using its flesh?"

Ansu frowned slightly as he listened to the elemental priest's description.

Next, I checked the elemental priest's wounds.

It looks no different from the bite marks of ordinary carnivorous creatures.

Moreover, the bite mark was very shallow, and it had already healed and scabbed over when Ansu examined it.

There's nothing wrong with the wound, and it doesn't look like venom.

The problem likely lies within the body.

Thinking of this, An Su rummaged through her handbag.

Then, a slightly transparent pigment, resembling a water droplet, was pulled out from it.

"In that case, let's use alchemical pigments to investigate the specific problem first."

As Ansu spoke, she then applied a smear of paint to the wound on the elemental priest's arm.

next moment.

Under the influence of the [Flesh and Blood Transparent Pigment], the Elemental Priest's arms became increasingly transparent.

The internal structure of the arm then came into view for the three of them.

But upon seeing what was inside, Ansu and the Elemental Priest were momentarily taken aback.

The gravedigger, Ryan, also widened his eyes.

"Why...why are there gears inside my arm?"
