Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Drike Warship



Karyk gave Aelric the impression that he had been convinced to join them only because of a promise of revenge. The reality might have been completely different, but it didn't matter at the moment.

Karyk followed Aelric back to the ship. This time, he didn't need to hide inside. As a proper guest, he was able to enter the ship much more openly, accompanying Aelric Drike.

The ship he entered was not the original one in which Aelric had been traveling. Instead, it was the warship that had been brought by his uncle.

Even though the Angels were dead, it was clear that the man was still cautious about his nephew's safety. As the only male heir of the Drike Family, Aelric's life held a lot of value to the family.

After Karyk entered the warship, he was truly able to grasp the nature of these ships from the inside. If he hadn't seen himself entering the ship, he would have been sure that he had been transported into an entirely different world.

Inside the ship, it was a vast open space with the bright sky visible above. It wasn't entirely an illusion either. It was truly a space that was this vast.

The laws of space inside the warship were different to a shocking extent. Karyk looked back and noticed that he couldn't even see the exit.

This ship was truly a weapon of destruction but it was also something like a prison and a maze. Even if an enemy managed to enter this ship, they could not reach the true control room of the ship.

If one wanted to reach the different sections inside this vast land, they could only take the terminal points that were spread throughout the ship.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For someone who had no knowledge about these terminal points and their connecting destination, Karyk had to be guided by the people inside the ship.

This was also the place where he was separated from Aelric who was taken by his uncle. Before leaving, Aelric did promise him that he was going to come meet him again after he was done talking to his parents.

Aelric looked a little frustrated as if he didn't want to leave with his uncle since he was being taken to a communication device where he was going to get scolding from his parents.

It was at times like this that Aelric truly looked far different from a warrior.

Karyk simply nodded and followed the servant. For now, he had nothing to do with Aelric. Aelric was the only way for him to get close to the Drike Family. Still, he couldn't stick too close to that man out of his own desires.

Karyk followed the servant, occasionally asking him questions about the Drike family but the servant didn't answer. He simply guided Karyk to the connecting points, which looked like the most insignificant spots on the ground.

Even he couldn't see anything extraordinary about these points until the servant stepped on them which turned them into portals.

After taking multiple such portals, Karyk was brought to a house that was on top of a mountain, overlooking a Cliff.

The scenery itself was beautiful but the house looked just as good, appearing no different than a palace.

"This is the residence prepared for guests. You can stay here and if you need anything, just clap three times and one of us will appear," the servant told Karyk while opening the door of the mansion.

"If you can appear after just three claps, doesn't that mean you will be observing me?" Karyk asked the man who didn't respond.

He simply walked away but his silence was enough of an answer. Although Karyk was a guest here and it was almost impossible for a stranger to navigate through this warship, it didn't mean they were going to let him roam free.

There were people who were going to keep an eye on him for as long as he was here. It appeared like a standard protocol since Karyk hadn't seen anyone instruct these servants. It was as if they already knew their jobs.

"The Drike Family is truly something." Karyk shook his head and entered the palace.

As soon as he entered, he was greeted with a grand hall where a table was already arranged. There were chairs around the table with food already prepared. The food also appeared warm and fresh.

Although Karyk didn't need to eat much, he still stepped over to the table. He took a seat and started eating, not worrying about the poisons as they were all useless in front of him.

Even if he ate a poison, it was only going to make him stronger after getting devoured by the abyss.

If anything, he appeared somewhat disappointed that the food was perfectly normal. If anything, it was quite delicious. It was better than anything he had before.

As Karyk finished his meal, he leaned back in his chair. He stood up and walked over to the window, looking out the palace into the distance.

The thought of being in a natural environment within a warship was impressive. With every movement, he was able to notice someone watching him.

Normally, it would have been impossible to perceive anything as the Drike Family Guards were extremely well trained. However, that much wasn't enough to avoid Karyk's observation, especially since his shadows had already spread out throughout the palace while he was eating.

Thanks to them, he was immediately able to gain a rough understanding about this palace, having no need to go through every room to find the places of interest.

There was only one place that truly interested him in this palace and it was the library in one of the upper rooms.

He entered a library, the scent of aged paper and leather filling the air. Even though everything was so advanced here, these books were still old and familiar.

Shelves were lined with books on various subjects, from history to geography. The only books that were absent were about magic, mechanical engineering and other arts that were considered family treasures in this world.

Karyk ran his fingers along the spines, stopping occasionally to pull a book and skim through its contents.
