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

Gears are not made of metal or similar materials.

It is made up of a mixture of flesh and bone.

Seeing this, An Su vaguely guessed what was going on.

However, to verify his hypothesis, Ansu still retrieved more of the same type of pigment.

Then it was applied to the rest of the elemental priest's skin.

A short while later.

Under the effect of the pigment, the elemental priest's skin temporarily becomes translucent.

The crowd saw what lay beneath the skin once more:

Various golem-related parts made of flesh and bones.

Several of the gears, rotating and colliding with each other in a somewhat mismatched manner, emitted rhythmic sounds.

It sounded like a heartbeat.

That's why the Elemental Priest and Ryan didn't notice anything unusual immediately.

Just consider this a normal phenomenon.

"The flesh golem you mentioned earlier may contain the blood of werewolves or vampires."

Their act of biting you back then was most likely not intended to kill you.

Instead, they want to convert you into one of their own kind.

Ansu guessed.

"However, the non-wizard residential areas were once abandoned experimental sites for wizards."

The flesh golem was probably also a discarded experimental subject.

Therefore, it is impossible to completely transform the bitten entity into a flesh golem.

It only gives you some of the characteristics of a golem.

Instead of truly transforming into a flesh golem.

Ansu remembered what the Elemental Priest had said before.

The real way these flesh golems increase their numbers is not by biting people.

Besides.

The flesh golem can also extract the flesh and blood contained within corpses.

With the aid of the ether particles, it was transformed into a slightly smaller bloodline golem.

"Perhaps later, when we have enough time and our strength has improved, we can try to find the Flesh Golem."

However, you should take precautions beforehand to avoid being bitten.

It would be best to have Shadow Dragon, who can freely change form and unleash fireballs, take action.

With that in mind, Ansu asked the elemental priest for more information about the flesh golem.

Then I learned something else:

As the number of flesh golems continues to increase, their range of activity also expands.

It was even continuing to move closer to where everyone was, and even towards the residential area where the burial man and the gravedigger knight were located.

At the same time, the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:

Before that.

Other knights from different cemeteries also informed Lord Sandru of this news, hoping that a true wizard would come to resolve these troublesome flesh golems.

But... Lord Sandru doesn't care.

As he spoke, Ryan recalled a saying that had been circulating in this area for a long time:

In the eyes of wizards, everything except wizards can be divided into three types:

Experimental subject.

Experimental materials.

And those that are about to become experimental subjects and materials, existing before they have even had a chance to be categorized.

"The Knight Commander said that Lord Sandru is not prepared to interfere with the Flesh Golem."

It was even claimed that someone could survive for 10 days while being corrupted by the flesh golem.

They were immediately taken to the laboratory.

That's why.

Ryan understood, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Her brother, an elemental priest, could only survive for a maximum of 10 days after being bitten and corrupted by the flesh golem.

Furthermore, the situation worsened again due to the fact that he had recently taken several refined healing potions purchased from the black market.

They might not even be able to last 10 days.

"Since the organs and bones inside the body have already been twisted."

The healing alchemical pigments are probably useless now.

As Ansu spoke, he began to recall the formulas for various alchemical pigments that he possessed.

No matter how many times they searched, they couldn't find any alchemical pigments suitable for the current situation.

Anzu then began to recall all the extraordinary knowledge, including the [Undead Graveyard Candle].

Consider whether there is any knowledge that can be used at this moment.

Ansu didn't say anything immediately, and the elemental priest sensed something was wrong.

After all, under normal circumstances, this posture generally only represents two possibilities:

It's either completely hopeless, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the news out of my head.

Either the resources required for treatment are too many, even exceeding the value of the materials provided when the case was commissioned.

The elemental priest didn't know which of his guesses was correct.

But he hoped it was the latter.

He coughed twice more, expelling the blood that had welled up in his throat from the spinning gears, and then looked again toward where Ansu was:

"Perhaps the unicorn horn that Ryan provided is not enough as compensation."

I can add another form of compensation.

talking.

The elemental priest pointed to the elemental spirit outside the window, who was wary of the outside world:

"How to become an Elemental Priest".

And what about the method to transform elemental spirits into elemental totem spirits?

Upon hearing this, Ansu immediately became somewhat interested.

After all, once you get the job information for the new profession and successfully find employment, that's what matters.

Ansu will receive an attribute boost and a new affix.

And the additional bonuses from the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent].

But Ansu also knew.

I am not able to restore the Elemental Priest's distorted organs to normal using my current abilities.

He does indeed know how to make [necropolis candles].

Furthermore, one can infuse a soul into it, thereby creating a Candlelight Ghost that is half fire element and half ghost form.

Based on the extraordinary knowledge gained along with this alchemical item, the [Undead Graveyard Candle] is not something that anyone can use casually.

Theoretically speaking, the [Undead Graveyard Candle] is strong enough.

No matter what kind of soul it is, it can be transformed into a candlelight ghost.

But candle ghosts are supernatural beings in a mystical sense.

Only those with a talent for the occult reaching 10 points or higher can retain self-awareness.

If one's aptitude for mysticism is too low, they may become an unconscious ghost of candlelight.

Then, like a common ghost born in a cemetery, it will unconsciously wander towards places where living beings gather.

And it attacks every living thing within its sight.

Ansu didn't think the Elemental Priest's Mystic attribute could reach 10 points.

After thinking for a while, Ansu suddenly thought of something:

"Perhaps this can be achieved through alchemy pigments, and incidentally, it will also fulfill the job requirements for the [Profession - Suicide Painter]."

Thinking of this, Ansu continued speaking to the elemental priest:

"I can help you survive while remaining conscious."

However, it is impossible to return to the exact same state as before.

However, if you spend enough resources, you can return to your peak strength, or even reach a higher level.

Only the life form will undergo a slight change.

Upon hearing this...

Without the slightest hesitation, the Elemental Priest immediately agreed to the preconditions mentioned by Ansu.

After all, no matter how bad things get, they can't get any worse than they are now.

And as long as you survive while retaining consciousness.

Even if there are any side effects, you can go to the wild wizards who are in various forces in this area and have mastered various types of extraordinary knowledge.

Therefore, they sought further improvements.

Anzu then took over the numerous resources that the Gravekeeper Knight Ryan had previously collected.

Thus, through various means, it is processed into a gold material that can be used to formulate gold pigments.

Ansu knew.

With his current mysterious attributes, alchemical pigment-related talents, and various other knowledge, he is temporarily unable to resolve the elemental priest's predicament.

But I don't plan to solve it on my own right now.

Instead, the plan is to raise the proficiency level of [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Mixing] to Lv.3 while processing these materials.

This allows them to combine their knowledge and talents with their own abilities.

This led to the creation of a new type of alchemical pigment that can be applied to elemental priests.

As I continued to process materials, my proficiency in [Knowledge - Alchemy Pigment Mixing] increased.

We are getting closer and closer to Lv.3.

...

at the same time.

In another area of ​​the abandoned experimental site where Ansu and his group were located, there was a space located underground.

The mortician, Tistu, submitted all the intelligence he possessed.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the numerous intact corpses or corpse parts nearby, encased in jars and surrounded by a preservative solution.

"Glug."

Tistu swallowed hard out of fear.

Then he looked again at the wild wizard sitting on a chair made of flesh and bone, connected to the chair by tubes of flesh.

The other person's face was shrouded in shadow, and Testu could not see it clearly.

Even so, he did his best to make his expression more respectful.

In case the other party kills him on a whim because they are in a bad mood.
