Seeing the Watch Eye that was so badly injured, the Necromancer opened a special potion to heal his wound. Watch Eye can only endure pain from its slow healing effect.
When finished, the Necromancer asked what happened to him at that time, then Watch Eye began to explain why he got such a fatal wound on his body.
(So that time)
"Eat this Gustang!!!!!!" Watch Eye said swinging his greatsword.
Then Gustang took out an orb from his Inventory and fused it with his sword then he quickly took out his skill.
"Dragonic Slayer!!!!!"
Then quickly the Dragonic Slayer's slashing fire burned and slashed everything it hit, including Watch Eye who had teleported, then after teleporting Watch Eye was exhausted and fainted for a long time.
"If at that time Subject Azure had not helped me, I might have died from the skill." said Watch Eye, who had recovered.
The Necromancer just smiled at that and replied, "Fernando Gustang yes that exiled Descendant, ... I heard his brother threw him away to take the seat of the head of the family."
"Besides, I found this artifact, sir, please take a look." while taking out an artifact from his inventory.
"Aaaahhh….Staff of Anubis…!!!! The most legendary and magical Necromancy item."
Then the Necromancer brandished the wand which caused several of the corpses in the room to rise again. Of course this makes all living people wonder, because the power of the stick is beyond their comprehension.
"Now it's just a matter of looking for the other parts, Watch Eye, have you found the right Dungeon?"
"Yes sir but ..." while looking at his friend.
" But what .... ? "
"What should we do with the master Inquisitors, if this is allowed over time our guild members will be exhausted?" asked his other subordinate.
Hearing that question the Necromancer could only say that they just needed to calm down because their evolutionary period was still going on. The subordinate asked again what he meant then..
The Necromancer displayed the contents of the Monitor regarding their current state of the body which was getting more and more mutated, then he also gave an explanation of the next steps after this.
"Then, ... what are you going to do to 'Azure'?" the subordinate asked the Necromancer while looking at a tube in which the person inside opened his fiery red eyes and his hair grew bluer.
(Back to Rook)
"This place is a prison, for evil beings whose Karma Rate: Minus is more than 1,000."
"Eh...evil creature.....you mean me?"
Rook was really shocked to hear those words, it really didn't make sense, considering the incident from the past until now where he was treated like a slave at his school by other children, then made into garbage bags while he was still an F Rank and technically his position was a victim. of all the crimes he had endured.
"It doesn't make sense, I'm... this... evil" Rook stammered.
"All this time I thought I was… this….. suffering from being too kind…." Rook added with a chuckle in disbelief.
Seeing that expression Dark Merchant said, "Don't you remember at all what crime you committed to be in a place like this?"
" .... No "
"Try to remember, because usually another function of the Karma Rate is a punishment in the form of "Just Revenge" ..... "
"...perhaps what happened to you so far is the effect of the punishment."
" Impossible .... !!!!! "
" I just started mischief, crime or other bad things just after that incident !!!!! "
" How can ... a bad thing I did for a short time could be judged that bad . " Rook shouted angrily remembering that he had only really started bad things after that incident Azure Ruby ( - see prologue ) .
"Well then, the important thing is that we have to find a way out of this damn prison first."
"Before that,....will you enter into a contract with me Rook?"
Hearing this, Rook was confused.
"(Contract…..for what)"
Seeing that Rook still didn't understand the Dark Merchant replied, "So you see, the reason I want to enter into a contract with you is because I want to share some of my inventory for free..."
".....but due to the rules of the Dark Merchant's guild which dictates that 'A Dark Merchant can only give free goods to loyal customers by making a special contract'....so".
"So I have to make a special contract with you, as a 'loyal' customer"
"...Then what are the conditions?" asked Rook knowing that everything had conditions.
The Dark Merchant thought for a while… then he replied, "Well there are conditions if you want to get this special contract… first, if you want to buy items from me then you have to be willing to do some special missions…."
"...Secondly, you must not give the free item I gave you to someone else because in this contract the free item is only allowed to be used by the customer who was given the item."
"From here there is a question."
"What happens if I violate the terms of this contract?"
"Isn't it obvious, I'm going to direct all the monsters from anywhere to beat you up!!!! ... so do we have a deal?" while holding out a hand.
Rook thought for a while, he really had no other choice, even though the risk was great but....
"Okay I agree!!!!!" while shaking the Dark Merchant's hand.

EXTRA:
Side notes:
Black Merchant prefers to be called Dark Merchant because of his dark skin. His appearance looks like an old man when in the Dungeon (Knights & Lizards) but when here he seems to be a few years younger (probably due to drinking some strange potion since that's his habit).
