Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

"No, of course not." Murray looked even more frightened. He lowered his head and didn't even dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead--Murray always knew that he was going to receive a necromancer, so even if the other party behaved kindly He never dared to relax in the slightest, now he is thankful for his cautiousness, when he thought it was Zhou Lingke finally showing his true colors.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Murray. I am indeed planning to build a magic tower for the undead, but don't worry, I assure you, there will be no tragedy that destroys humanity." Zhou Lingke said happily.Mang Tan is still wary of him, so he will show corresponding achievements and contributions, and when the time comes, they will let Xia En come back, right?

"..." Murray tried his best to make his smile look natural, but his hands on his knees were shaking.Zhou Lingke's sincerity, obviously because of the necromancer's reputation, did not gain the official's trust.

The car didn't enter the town, but took a road two miles away, and went straight to the magic towers behind the town.

They were still on the way, when the guards who accompanied them suddenly came to report: "My lords, Master Polivi and Master Cruda have arrived." These guards kept their faces cold along the way, but at this time, although there were only a few short words , but he could hear his obvious excitement.It seems that these two archmages at least have a very high status in the hearts of the soldiers.Murray was also taken aback for a moment, obviously this incident was beyond his expectation, his first reaction was to stand up, probably wanting to get out of the car, but he quickly sat back down.

He wanted to walk over to show respect, but walking was much slower than taking a car. Another effect of walking over was to make the two archmages wait for them, no, Zhou Lingke waited longer.

"The car stopped 50 meters away from the two masters. Master Nick, is it okay?" He turned his head to ask Zhou Lingke after he gave the order. He didn't have the panic and fear just now, but he felt very vigorous and resolute.The respect for those two archmages was even higher than the fear brought about by Zhou Lingke.

"Of course." Zhou Lingke nodded. What he saw, Sevans and Murray, were all reckless low-level officials. From their performance, we can already see the general situation of this country.They are full of pride and pride in this country, and they are all doing their best to do their jobs and make this country a better place.Zhou Lingke, a member of the upper echelon, only saw Master Bolivi, but the first impression that the old man left on Zhou Lingke was that he was very friendly.

Zhou Lingke can't regard Mangtan as his motherland, but he has no resistance to doing his part here.

According to Murray's order, the car stopped 50 meters away, and when Murray and Zhou Lingke got out of the car, they could see the welcoming crowd not far away.There is no ceremony holding flowers to "Welcome! Welcome!", all standing there are mages in robes, men, women and children, the two old people at the front, one is Master Bolivi whom Zhou Lingke saw not long ago , another one whose beard and hair don't lose to him should be Master Cruda.

Zhou Lingke, who was walking towards the crowd quickly, realized that these people were probably not just here to greet him after he could see the faces of those who were greeted.Otherwise, Master Polivi would not have a trace of helplessness in his smile, and that Master Cruda would not have a tense face.

As soon as Zhou Lingke was about to open his mouth to speak, Master Cruda took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Welcome to our settlement, Master Nick Zhou. I hope you can find the meaning of your life here." Zhou Lingke replied, and immediately turned around and left. Behind him was a group of mages who left, most of them looked solemn, and their eyes occasionally glanced over, not disgust but vigilance.

This obviously hostile attitude made Zhou Lingke feel inexplicable, and what does the "meaning of life" mean?

"Don't worry, my friend, Cruda just has a slightly different opinion from ours on the mysteries of magic. But I want you to believe that the mages who live here are staunch seekers of knowledge. Although we have differences opinions, but will only defend the truth with magic, not smear it with intrigue."

This probably means that there is no need to worry about someone making a cold shot?Zhou Lingke nodded to express his understanding, and at the same time saluted to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Master Polivi."

"Just call me Rothschild, my friend." Master Polivi patted Zhou Lingke on the shoulder.

"Then please call me Nick." Zhou Lingke also felt that it was too strange to call me "my friend" and "little friend" all the time.

"Okay." Plavie nodded happily, and then he looked at Murray who had been standing behind Zhou Lingke.Without waiting for Polivedo to speak, Murray immediately took out a small scroll and offered it with both hands. Polive took it and opened it, took a look at the bottom of the scroll, signed his name, and handed it back to Murray. , "Thank you for your loyalty, Secretary Murray."

"I should do it!" Mo Rui's face flushed a little because of excitement, and he even slapped himself too hard when he saluted.After finishing all this, he saluted again, took the small group of soldiers and the carriage, and left without stopping.

——Sure enough, it was delivered by courier. After the mail was signed for, it ran as fast as it could.

"Reckless and pragmatic." Bolivi found that Zhou Lingke had been paying attention to Murray, and explained something wrong, "From words to actions, so officials always come and go in a hurry."

"It's a good thing." Zhou Lingke replied. In fact, he was thinking why Murray didn't tell Master Polivi that he planned to build the magic tower. But since Murray didn't tell, he had to say it himself. After thinking about the wording, Zhou Lingke finally He decided to ask if he had already been assigned, "Rothschild, what kind of work do I need to do here?"

Plavix simply called Zhou Lingke by his name, and showed a happy smile like a child: "My selfishness is to hope that you can do research and communication on alchemy with me, but I know you have the ability , but I don’t know how capable you are. So, I discussed with Cruda, and after asking you, I will arrange specific work for you. By the way, the work here is actually very simple, that is, teaching, research, manufacturing, And when Mang Tan needs it, respond to the call-up order. Except for the last one, you can do all of them, or you can choose only one of them.”

"I choose...to make."

"Oh? What do you want to build?" Polivi's eyes lit up.

Zhou Lingke felt that he probably thought that this manufacturing was alchemy, but he must be disappointed: "Undead magic power tower." In an instant, the old man's eyes brightened, but it was obviously shocked rather than interested.

"Are you sure this is what you're going to do, Nick?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure. You can rest assured that as long as there are enough manpower and materials... it's just manpower and materials in the literal sense, not flesh and blood, bones, or even souls, let alone living people." See Plavix's The expression became more and more weird, Zhou Lingke was worried that the old man was thinking wrong, so he immediately followed up with the explanation.

The old man's expression did not return to normal. Curiosity, longing, fear, and many other emotions could be seen on his face. It was hard to imagine that an old man could have such a rich expression.He frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "Are you sure you build a tower of undead magic power, but you don't need any flesh and blood sacrifices?"

"unnecessary."

"My friend, you need to know that all mages here have certain death standards. And you, as a necromancer..."

"Apprentice." Zhou Lingke couldn't help but interject, because he can only count the magic of attacking, and he can only use summoning skeleton soldiers, and he can't do anything else.

"Okay, apprentice." Bolivi sighed a little, "I think you should know that since Mangtan has no fiefdom, no one with ability will come here unless he is desperate. There are even fewer capable magicians, and necromancers, you are the only one I have come to Mangtan for 50 years. Before you, our last necromancer has passed away for nearly ten years. You will always face the threat of plague from neighboring countries. In fact, thanks to one of your necromancer seniors, he recently established a Lich conversion formation in a neighboring country, and he succeeded." I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional , Plavix mentioned the "feat" of Old John.

"I passed by that area when I came here. Please forgive me for contradicting me, because I don't think what that senior did was a feat. It was just a killing for personal gain." Zhou Lingke finally understood why he was killed. Treat it so seriously, the earth still has treaties such as the "Geneva Treaty", the United Nations and the constraints of various major powers, but I have never heard of any country that really does not research chemical weapons at all. It is just a combination of blatant research and sneaky research. It’s just the difference between them, because if you don’t study others, you will study it. Who knows that it will be used on your head one day. Even if you don’t use it, you have to keep up with the trend, at least know how to prevent it.Here, there are no restrictions, and necromancers, biological and chemical weapons at the level of plague gods, will not be ignored.Without Mang Tan, he was at an absolute disadvantage.

Polivi smiled, he was indeed testing - no apprentice would disrespect his teacher, even if his teacher committed a heinous crime, he must agree loudly.If Zhou Lingke had something to do with Old John, it was impossible for him to refute.But what Plavix thinks is based on the standards and concepts of this world. He doesn't know that there have been two exceptions in this world.
