Raff asked the man in front of him, "Lex, how is it? Did you know why he turned into an Undead?"
The man named Lex replied, "Still not yet, Count. However, we already know that the change starts with the skin."
Raff touched his chin and said, "Leather huh, that means the mastermind behind this is touching people one by one and turning them into Undead."
"True, most likely the one who did this was not a Lich. Because the dark energy possessed by the Lich is very large and can be felt immediately" Lex nodded.
Other than the two of them, there were some people dressed in white near them who were examining the man who was lying on the bed.
The man lying down did not look like a human anymore as his skin was dark brown as it was charred in flames.
Then his eyeballs were white without pupils, the hair on his head was falling out, his teeth were left a little but sharp, and the nails on his hands and feet were turning sharp.
The man lying down was no longer human, he had already turned into an Undead due to something still unknown.
"Hm, I guess the source of the dark energy is an evil person, it turns out that the Undead have been captured and are being researched," Julian said after hearing their conversation.
Julian thought that there was an intruder inside this barrack that had dark energy to make the Undead attack the city.
Or from Lich who had secretly entered the barracks in order to do chaos that could produce many casualties.
"Alright, I along with the others will continue to investigate the matters of Who's there!" Lex looked over to where Julian was.
However, due to the dim lighting, Julian wore a robe and a dark black mask made him invisible.
Lex frowned, he pulled out the sword from its sheath and walked towards the door of the room where Julian was.
Raff who saw it was a little surprised but he did not stop Lex's actions because he knew that Lex had very sharp senses.
"Hm, I didn't think he could feel the air of my existence," Julian said.
But he did not panic, instead he thought of an interesting idea. By expressing his intention to join the investigation.
Julian thought it was useless to investigate this matter alone. He will be considered an enemy if caught.
Therefore, he thought of joining Raff and the others. But just in case, he did not take off his mask and robe.
Julian opened the door and entered the room. Lex and Raff instantly became alert even Raff also took out two of his swords at this moment.
"Who are you!?" Raff shouted as he pointed his two swords towards Julian.
Lex is also prepared to strike if Julian makes any suspicious moves.
But beyond their expectations. Julian raised both his hands up to show that he had no intention of fighting.
"I also want to join the investigation, would you please allow me to join?" julian said in a calm tone.
"Huh!? Do you think we're kids? How can we allow you to join while we don't know your identity!" scream Lex.
"Of course you can't. Then, there's no other choice yes" Julian said.
He lowered his right hand and took out an identity card from inside his robe. He threw it at Raff.
"Gold!?" Raff shouted in disbelief.
"What's up, Count!?" Lex comes to Raff and screams like Raff after seeing Julian's gold identity card.
"Hows it? Am I now welcome to join the investigation?" ask Julian who took off his mask.
"Mr Julian, is Mister the one who was sent by King Rolant?" Raff asked in a hesitant tone after returning Julian's identity card.
Julian took it back and replied, "No, I visited this town yesterday and the merchant I met said that Cronna City is in crisis."
Raff frowned and asked, "Then can I know why Master decided to help us?"
Julian shrugged his shoulders and replied, "There is no particular reason. I'm visiting a lot of places with my colleagues."
Then he added, "If I just keep quiet while there's something interesting here, wouldn't it be a waste to visit Cronna City?"
After listening to Julian's answer, Raff did not immediately decide because the issue was related to the safety of the City of Cronna.
Then he and Lex stayed away a little to discuss. They whispered for a few minutes, though Julian could hear what they were whispering.
"Last question Sir. What rewards do you want after this matter is over?" asked Raff with a serious facial expression.
Julian touched his chin and thought. He didn't actually need anything, but they definitely wouldn't approve of it.
Because in this world, people would not help strangers without rewards. They will think the person is planning something if not asking for a reward.
After thinking for a while, Julian remembered that he had not given anything to Nimi and Mine other than weapons while Claire had been given a strange plant that enhanced her healing magic.
Julian raised two fingers and said, "Two things. First, magic that can increase physical strength. Second, that magic is anything to an assassin."
Physical strength enhancement magic was of course for Mine whereas for Nimi, Julian did not know what to give. Therefore he only said magic to an assassin.
"Well, we can provide those two things. Then, welcome aboard, Mr. Julian Roley." Raff extended his right hand.
"Thank you, Count Raff." Julian nodded and shook hands with Raff.
After speaking for a while, they decided to meet tomorrow afternoon because the current time was not suitable for serious talk.
Raff tells Julian to come to the city office and tell his assistant. He'll take Julian to his office without causing any trouble.
Julian nodded and agreed to it, then, he left from there very quickly until Raff and Lex could not keep up with his speed.
...----------------...
Julian was on top of the city wall and looked at the night sky decorated by the moon and stars shining beautifully.
"A beautiful night sky decorated by the moon and stars. On earth, I can't see those air pollution arenas in the city."
"To see the moon and stars, one must go to the beach, sea, mountains or highlands, and villages that have no pollution."
"But how could I, who is a black company worker, get the chance to go places?"
"It was fortunate that I was transferred to this Unionian Fantasy World. Once again I thank you, Supreme God Grandfather."
Then, he immediately returned to the inn through the same window as before. After cleaning up, he fell asleep.
