Necromancer: A New Era

In the early morning, the official road leading to Kasa City was bustling with people. Some pedestrians were in a hurry, some were leisurely, some were in groups, and some were walking alone. The rumbling of carriages and the clatter of hooves, vehicles carrying all kinds of goods were flowing continuously. In the distance, there were bursts of melodious singing, which made people stop and listen. The artists performing juggling magic set up a stage on the roadside and performed hard, attracting cheers from the onlookers. The magic elves flew around with magic bags and picked up the coins for rewards on the ground.

Kasa City, the capital of this magnificent province, was like a giant beast entrenched on the earth. The huge city walls towering into the sky in the distance exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if announcing to the world that it was indestructible.

Ming Yin and Chakaer rode on the beasts, and the undead Aaron followed closely.

Only one of the three suspension bridges in front of the city gate that could accommodate ten carriages abreast was lowered for pedestrians and vendors to pass through. It was slowly lowered under the effect of the magic noose. Chakar looked at the city in front of him with full of expectations. He couldn't wait to enter the city and explore this mysterious and prosperous place.

As they approached the city gate, the guards stopped them.

"Who are you?" the soldier asked, looking them up and down warily. The huge figure of the undead Aaron gave him a sense of oppression.

Chakaer stepped forward and said politely: "Brother, we are here to do business, please give us some convenience."

As he spoke, he moved closer to the soldier and handed him a gold coin.

The soldier seemed to have thought of something and grinned, "Really? I think you look like spies. Someone take them aside and search for evidence of being spies."

After saying that, he kicked Chakaer to the ground and ordered them to be arrested.

The undead Aaron was filled with fighting spirit. He stepped forward and swung his shield, and a soldier fell to the ground with a scream.

"Ah~!!!"

The captain of the soldiers saw Aaron's body covered with fighting spirit and said disdainfully, "Level 3? How dare a mere Level 3 cause trouble here? Catch him!"

The captain of the guards was also a third-level swordsman. Under his leadership, a dozen guards surrounded Ming Yin like wolves and tigers. They held weapons in their hands and looked solemn, as if ready to attack at any time. Ming Yin stood there quietly, his eyes as calm as water, but full of endless majesty and power.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered around, attracted by the noise. People began to talk among themselves, some sympathized with Ming Yin, thinking that they might be innocent, while others thought that the guards were right and should maintain order in the city. For a while, various voices came one after another, and the whole scene became extremely lively.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Ming Yin frowned and said coldly, "We have no ill intentions, why would you hurt my servants?"

"You have no ill intentions? Why don't you cooperate with our search?"

Chakar said angrily, "Are you sure you are just searching and don't have any other ideas?"

"At first we were just suspicious, but now I have no doubts. I am sure you are the spies. Capture you!"

Just as the soldiers were preparing to take action again.

"Wait! Open your dog eyes and see what this is!"

Seeing that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully, Ming Yin took out the magic token and said coldly.

The captain hesitated and took the token. There was a faint light on the token, and five patterns representing the identity of an alchemist were engraved on it. The captain did not recognize it, but when he saw the magical light on the token, he felt that it was not simple. He hesitated and said, "Wait a moment, I'll check it out. Keep an eye on it for me." Then he turned and left.

A quarter of an hour later, an old man who was obviously a magician and several knights in exquisite armor came hurriedly.

The old wizard stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Whose token is this?"

“This is my parents’.”

At Chakaer's signal, the old wizard came to Mingyin and said respectfully, "Sir, I am the on-duty wizard of the Kasa City Defense Corps - the Magic Corps today. Nice to meet you, Master Alchemist!"

Ming Yin helped the old wizard up. He didn't want to put on airs and said calmly, "Master Wizard, hello. Please don't be polite."

The old wizard respectfully returned the token to Ming Yin, and at the same time glanced at the knight who came with him from the side. The knight immediately understood, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Sir, I am the commander on duty of the city defense army today, responsible for the defense of the east gate today. My people offended you, please punish them!" He waved his hand, and the captain and two soldiers were grabbed and pushed to the feet of Ming Yin.

The people around were whispering and talking.

"This young man has an extraordinary background. Even the commander of the city defense army came to apologize in person!"

"I'm afraid this captain is dead!"

"This is a real blow. Our Chamber of Commerce has been sucked dry by them for a long time."

Ming Yin looked at the people who kept begging for mercy at his feet, and said to the knight leader: "Can we enter the city?"

"Of course, sir, you can come into the city at any time. Do you need me to prepare a beast to ride?"

"No, we have..." Ming Yin turned to the old wizard and said, "Master Wizard, I need to go to the imperial capital. Is there any means of transportation or travel?"

The old wizard said respectfully: "Sir, I will arrange a vehicle to take you to the Wizards Guild, and our president will arrange everything for you!"

"Okay, that's it."

The commander of the city defense army watched Ming Yin and the other two leave, then turned around and looked at the people on the ground and said angrily, "You useless idiots! Come on! Take them away and punish them according to military law for desertion without permission!"

After ending this farce, the three of them successfully entered Casa City.

The streets in the city are spacious and clean, with various buildings on both sides, including tall mansions, exquisite shops, and lively taverns...

The horned beast carriage stopped at the entrance of the Magic Guild and walked towards the president's office under the respectful guidance of the magic apprentice.

The young magician apprentice quietly looked at the distinguished guest that the president had asked for.

Ming Yin was seen wearing a well-fitting tight-fitting suit and a long black hooded cloak, which was buttoned up, making him look mysterious and capable. His facial features were delicate and his eyebrows and eyes were distinct. His blue eyes were like deep-sea sapphires. His slightly childish face had no expression and seemed a little indifferent. His black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he exuded a unique temperament.

The magic apprentice watched quietly, his face slightly red, and he sighed in his heart: "This distinguished guest is quite good-looking."

The Magic Guild is a three-story building. The first floor is the guild hall, which is hung with many exquisite flags. In the center of the hall are three huge magic statues, and the magical text below records the characters' profiles and deeds.

The statue was surrounded by a large number of magical plants and flowers, exuding fragrance. Several magical elves flapped their wings and flew around in the flowers, taking care of the plants. Chakaer curiously stepped forward and reached out to touch them, and the frightened magical elves scattered and hid.

Beyond the statues were several groups of circular sofas with snacks and flowers placed on the coffee table in the middle for the magicians to discuss magic topics. Magicians in groups of three or four were conversing in low voices.

Going deeper, you can see a huge counter. Several people in wizard robes are handling some procedures. Inside the counter, several men and women in wizard apprentice uniforms are respectfully handling the procedures.

The second floor is full of rooms, which have various purposes. Some of the rooms are used as places for magician level tests. They are equipped with various professional equipment and tools to accurately evaluate the strength of magicians. In addition, some rooms have been transformed into laboratories for magicians to conduct various magic experiments and research. There are also several specialized alchemy laboratories and alchemy potion rooms here, which is undoubtedly good news for magicians who are keen on alchemy.

Ming Yin looked out from the tall French windows and saw a fenced-off area in the distance that looked like a shooting range. Several magicians were casting spells, and a few old men were commenting on something.

The third floor is the exclusive area for several bigwigs in the union and the president - their lounge.

Arriving at the door of the president's lounge, after receiving the president's response, he whispered to Ming Yin: "Dear guest, the president is waiting for you, please come in!"

"Thank you!"

After the three entered, the beautiful apprentice closed the door.

This was a large room with complete facilities and elegant decoration. On the front wall were hung some unknown magic instruments, and on the other two walls were hung several beast heads. Ming Yin did not recognize them. An old man with a white beard and a kind face was sitting on a sofa that looked very elegant. He stood up and smiled at Ming Yin and the other two, saying, "Little friend, sit here."

Ming Yin did not act pretentiously. He came closer and sat down, then said politely, "Hello, sir. My name is Ming Yin. These two are my servants. We want to seek help in the imperial capital."

"Oh, little Mingyin, can you tell me where you got that token?"

"My master, Lord Hercules, gave it to me."

"Hercles is your master?"

"Yes, he told me to seek help at the Magic Guild in the city and tell me his name, and they will arrange for me to find him."

The old president had a dark face and muttered in his heart, "This old guy is really going to cause me trouble. This place is so far from the imperial capital, and the cost of escorting this little guy there is a bit painful even for me. No, I have to find a chance to trick him and make up for my loss."

Thinking of this, the president smiled kindly and said, "No problem, someone will escort you to the imperial capital tomorrow, and you can rest for a night first."

At this time, the president noticed the undead Aaron and asked in surprise: "Undead?"

"Yes, Master, I summoned you."

"Your master Hercules is an alchemist. Where did you learn the magic of necromancy?"

I couldn't tell anyone about the Book of the Dead, so I could only say perfunctorily, "Before you accepted me as your apprentice, I was the apprentice of a necromancer."

"Oh, necromancy is quite evil and detrimental to vitality. You'd better not go any deeper." Seeing that Ming Yin did not behave abnormally, he warned.

"Thank you for your concern, President. I will keep it in mind."

"Okay, I'll arrange everything, go and have a rest"

Afterwards, he called the waiter and took Ming Yin and others away.

"This boy is not simple. He is calm and steady, unlike a teenager. He also has a very strong mental foundation. He is a good candidate."

When he thought of his unpromising disciples, he became furious, "Humph! They are really other people's disciples!"

In a laboratory not far away, a man suddenly sneezed, causing the important medicine bottle in his hand to fall on the table. He looked distressed: "What happened? My medicine! Several days of hard work have been wasted again."
