Earlier, Edmond had sat inside his carriage, searching for a whole day before he finally found a small town.
It was the Nanzel Town where he was now.
He hid the Skeleton Wolf and the carriage in a forest a certain distance away from the town, then entered alone.
By eavesdropping on what others were saying, he also understood that today was a market day, which explained why there were so many people.
Subsequently, Edmond secretly used Bone Crafting to condense an incredibly exquisite bone cup, found a merchant in the market to sell it to, and ultimately obtained these 200 oren.
Because he had awakened memories of his past life, Edmond’s knowledge definitely surpassed the vast majority of people in this era.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to craft a bone cup exquisite enough to sell for a large sum of money.
And because of the Spell of Bone Crafting, the entire bone cup was made of flawless, snow-white bone; not only was there not a single seam, but the material was also impeccably pure.
Looking at its appearance, no one would ever know that the material used to make it was bone.
Because it had absolutely no bone grain or pores, it would only be mistaken for some kind of special, precious material.
Edmond still remembered the incredibly shocked expression on the merchant’s face when he had taken out the bone cup at that time.
After all, a merchant appearing in such a small place probably wouldn’t have much insight.
Edmond even felt that if he went to a larger city, he could definitely sell it for a better price.
However, he didn’t care about that; it was something he had crafted casually anyway, and it didn’t take much effort.
Having money, Edmond didn’t rush to buy supplies; instead, he prepared to thoroughly explore the small town first.
After all, he hadn’t come this time just to buy daily supplies; there was a more important matter.
That was to obtain corpses to create skeletons.
The importance of undead to a Necromancer went without saying; currently, Edmond only had six undead under his command, which was too few.
It definitely needed to be increased.
Edmond walked casually through the town, following the flow of people, his pace unhurried, while his gaze kept scanning his surroundings.
When the people around saw Edmond, they all hurriedly made way for him.
This world didn’t believe in equality for all.
Nobles were nobles, commoners were commoners; merchants, farmers, craftsmen, beggars—every class had its fixed place.
A young man wearing clothes made of high-quality material, with fair skin and a composed demeanor, was a big shot in the eyes of these people.
And if you accidentally offended a big shot, you had better pray that the person was kind-hearted and wouldn’t just beat you to death on the spot.
In Nanzel Town, this was no alarmist story.
After wandering around the town for a while, Edmond felt a bit bored.
Even though this was the most prosperous town in the vicinity, the various buildings and facilities inside appeared very crude in Edmond’s eyes.
Especially the stench permeating the air, which made him constantly frown.
However, considering that he still needed to search for corpses, he forced himself to endure the discomfort and continued exploring.
Finally, by evening, he had finished exploring the entire town.
He had also found the locations of the Graveyards; in Nanzel Town, there were a total of three Graveyards where a large number of corpses were buried.
One was the Graveyard near the church, where mostly clergy and wealthy people were buried.
The other two were located on the east and west sides of the town, respectively; those were the places where ordinary people buried their dead.
It wasn’t hard to deduce that the Graveyards on the east and west sides of the town definitely contained more corpses.
However, Edmond didn’t hold much hope for these two Graveyards because this place wasn’t very far from his teacher’s small building.
His teacher must have already been here, and the corpses in those two Graveyards had likely been thoroughly scavenged.
However, Edmond felt that the Graveyard near the church might still have a good number of corpses buried there.
Because the church was located in the center of the town, there were many people coming and going.
Even at night, there were people specifically assigned to guard the Graveyard, so it would be very difficult for his teacher to succeed there.
Pondering this in his heart, Edmond walked to the largest inn in the town and rented the best room.
At the same time, Edmond ordered a sumptuous dinner and had it sent to the room he had rented, costing a total of two oren.
As soon as he entered, Edmond lay down on the soft bed in the room and let out a comfortable sigh.
Although this bed was slightly worse than the one in his teacher’s small building, it was far better than the simple pallet in the cave.
He hadn’t been lying down for long when the door was knocked upon.
“Knock, knock~”
Hearing the knock, Edmond sat up from the bed and said to the door:
“Come in.”
“Creak~”
A young maid walked in carrying a tray, on which was the dinner Edmond had previously ordered.
A few pieces of golden-brown white bread, a large bowl of steaming stew, and several pieces of roasted steak, sprinkled with coarse salt and spices, glistening with oil.
“My lord, your dinner.”
“Put it there.”
Edmond pointed to the table on the side, signaling the maid to place the dinner there.
After putting down the dinner, the maid didn’t leave immediately but stood at the door, speaking to Edmond in a tone she pretended to be seductive.
The voice was deliberately lowered, carrying an intentional charm, but her eyes were darting away, not daring to look directly into Edmond’s eyes.
Clearly, she didn’t do this kind of thing often.
“My lord, do you need any special…”
“No need.”
Before she could finish, Edmond interrupted directly and clearly expressed his refusal.
Hearing this answer, the maid had no choice but to leave, somewhat disappointed, and carefully closed the door.
Judging by the clothes on Edmond and his generous spending, it was obvious that he was not short of money.
Coupled with his handsome appearance and composed temperament, in the maid’s eyes, this was simply a perfect client.
Even a little money casually given by him would be enough for her to live on for a long time.
But unfortunately, Edmond actually refused.
Watching the closed door, Edmond didn’t make any extra moves; he sat directly at the table and began to eat his dinner.
Even in the best inn in the town, the image of the maid here left much to be desired.
The thin body due to malnutrition, the skin roughened by overwork, and that deliberate, ingratiating posture that was clearly not from the heart.
Although in the eyes of others, this appearance was already quite good, Edmond clearly couldn’t accept it.
Not to mention that he was currently only thirteen years old and hadn’t come of age yet.
Although this world didn’t pay much attention to that, Edmond himself still cherished his body very much.
In his past life, he was an adult after all, and he knew what should and shouldn’t be done.
Necrotic Magic would naturally erode his body; if he didn’t control it, would he even want his body anymore?
Edmond didn’t want to turn himself into the image of his teacher.
At the very least, he had to wait until he came of age…
Without overthinking, Edmond began to eat the food in front of him in large mouthfuls.
Previously in the cave, he had been eating white bread all the time, and he was long since tired of it.
Now that he was eating other food, and the taste wasn’t bad, Edmond just felt incredibly comfortable all over.
After quickly finishing all the food, Edmond pushed the empty plate to the side, leaned his body back against the chair, and let out a comfortable sigh.
