Necromancer: A New Era

After months of intense construction, the City of Hope has finally turned from a blueprint into reality. The towering city walls, the well-arranged buildings, and the busy and orderly residents in the city all indicate the vitality of this new city. The infrastructure planning has been completed, and after consultation between the city lord Owen and several elders, it was decided to hold this grand celebration.

On the high platform, Tang Yue sat side by side with Karl and several other elders. Their eyes were focused on the front, where the city lord Owen was preaching loudly. His voice was passionate, and every word was full of power, as if sowing the seeds of hope in people's hearts.

Tang Yue and Ming Long came back here a day ago. Their presence seemed to inject a stronger vitality into the new city. However, Chakaer was keenly aware that his master Tang Yue seemed different from before. His eyes were deeper, and there seemed to be an unknown secret hidden between his brows. If Master Ming Long had not been following him like a shadow, Chakaer would have almost suspected that his master had been possessed by some mysterious power.

Several elders who were originally preparing to greet Tang Yue silently gave up the idea after seeing Tang Yue's stern face and unfathomable eyes. They knew that Tang Yue's prestige was not only based on his strong strength, but also on his calm and decisive character. At this moment, Tang Yue was obviously immersed in his own thoughts and could not be disturbed.

Today is Owen's highlight moment. With his intelligence and the power given to him by Tang Yue, he successfully completed the construction of the City of Hope. At the same time, with his efforts, the several races in the city also showed unprecedented cooperation and friendship. Of course, Owen knew in his heart that all these achievements were inseparable from the support and protection of Master Tang Yue. Without Tang Yue's powerful military force to deter all directions, they would not have the stability and prosperity they have today.

Standing on the high platform, Owen praised Master Tang Yue to his heart's content, and at the same time, he constantly reiterated the purpose of the City of Hope: unity, friendship, mutual assistance, and progress. Every word he said drew enthusiastic cheers from the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience. At this moment, Owen was full of confidence, as if he saw the future of the City of Hope becoming the most prosperous city in the Southern Wasteland and even the entire continent.

However, amid the cheers, Owen couldn't help but recall the hardships of their Gray Dwarf tribe in the past. They came to the depths of the Southern Wilds after many twists and turns, and have been wandering around for thousands of years without a single day of peace. The surrounding hostile tribes were eyeing them covetously. Although the Gray Dwarfs seemed to have a large population, they were relatively weak and could not withstand the consumption of a war. So when they found that a new force was rising next to their tribe, they couldn't wait to attack it and nip the danger in the bud.

Fortunately, Tang Yue was not the kind of ruler who was keen on killing. With his broad mind and far-sighted wisdom, he accepted the gray dwarves and gave them shelter and help. This allowed them to build their long-awaited home, the City of Hope. Thinking of this, Owen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He looked at Tang Yue who was sitting not far away, his eyes full of awe and gratitude. He knew that without Tang Yue, there would be no City of Hope today; without Tang Yue's shelter and guidance, their gray dwarves might never be able to get rid of the endless wandering and suffering.

The celebration continued in a warm and cheerful atmosphere, as if to dye every inch of land and every building in the new city with festive colors. Drums rumbled, music and music rang out, and people sang and danced, celebrating the birth of this new city and their vision and expectation of a better life in the future. However, in this noisy and jubilant crowd, a figure on the high platform seemed out of place.

That was Tang Yue, he stood quietly, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was cold and deep. His eyes seemed to penetrate the prosperity in front of him, and cast towards the distant and unknown. All the hustle and bustle around him seemed to have nothing to do with him, he seemed to be immersed in his own world, thinking about some important issues.

Dark elf leader Ymir was watching Tang Yue from afar in the crowd, with admiration and respect in her eyes. To her, Tang Yue was not only a hero who saved them from danger, but also a god-like existence in her heart. She would never forget that in that dark and desperate moment, it was Tang Yue who reached out to help and pulled their tribe back from the brink of destruction.

Looking at Tang Yue's stern face, Ymir couldn't help but feel an inexplicable impulse in her heart. She wanted to get closer to him and comfort his heart that seemed to be filled with endless sorrow in her own way. So, she swayed her waist lightly, took charming and elegant steps, and slowly walked towards Tang Yue.

As Ymir approached, the eyes of the people around her gradually gathered on her. Those eyes were full of surprise and envy, but more of them were coveting Ymir's beauty. However, Ymir didn't care about it at all, she only had Tang Yue in her eyes.

"My lord!" Ymir came to Tang Yue, half-knelt down, and asked softly, "Are you worried about something? Do you need your loyal servant to relieve your fatigue?" Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it carried an irresistible magic.

Tang Yue frowned when he heard this. He was originally thinking about his own strength and future development plan, but was suddenly interrupted by Ymir. He looked at Ymir with some displeasure, but unexpectedly found that her eyes were full of concern and worry.

When Ymir saw Tang Yue looking at her, her heart was beating. She knew that her posture and expression at the moment were full of charm, but she hoped that she could touch Tang Yue's heart with her sincerity. So she plucked up the courage to continue: "My lord, no matter what you need, I will do my best to satisfy you. I just hope you can be happier and stop being so distressed."

Tang Yue listened to Ymir's words, and the irritability in his heart miraculously dissipated a little. He looked at Ymir's beautiful and sincere face, and a soft light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly realized that he might really need to relax and adjust his state.

So he nodded slightly and said to Ymir: "Okay, since you are willing to do so, then please walk with me." After that, he turned and walked down the platform.

Hearing Tang Yue's words, Ymir felt inexplicably disappointed, "Just for a walk?" Although she felt disappointed, she did not dare to show it, so she could only follow Tang Yue and walk slowly out.

The two walked one after the other on the busy street, and Minglong followed closely beside Tang Yue as usual.

The crowd around them consciously made way for them. Tang Yue walked at a moderate pace, his eyes slowly sweeping over the surrounding buildings and people, as if he was appreciating the beauty and bustle of this new city. And Ymir followed him closely, introducing everything around him from time to time.

As the two of them talked more deeply, Tang Yue gradually relaxed. He began to talk to Ymir about some light-hearted topics, and even made a few jokes occasionally. Ymir tried her best to make him happy, and her laughter was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell, which made people around her look sideways.
