I was really too young to understand what exactly that entailed until there had been a ghoul outbreak in our village. Apparently Norikata had been dabbling in undead apostle research as a means to extend his own lifespan. I was forced to come to the conclusion that this wasn't something that needed to be advanced, and shot him that night.
