Hayden had already left, and the study returned to tranquility.

I don't know when it started to drizzle outside. When the slanting wind blew, the small water droplets hit the window, and then slowly condensed into large water droplets, which slid down from the window.

The side door of the study opened quietly.

Baron Lawrence Jebra, a confidant minister who has followed from the time of Crown Prince Shiro to the present, walked in silently, bowed and called: "Your Majesty."

Ciro withdrew his gaze from the raindrops on the window, turned around indifferently and said, "What did Murdoch say?"

Lawrence said: "He is very grateful for your decision."

Ciro said with a half-smile, "I hope the news I receive is accurate, not embellished."

Lawrence said with a smile: "He is indeed very grateful, and at the same time raised concerns about the reaction of the God of Light."

Ciro said: "Since I confessed in front of the Pope at the gate of the Temple of Light that I want to find a necromancer to heal Otis, I will definitely do it."

Lawrence hesitated and said: "However, the reputation of necromancers in Dreamland has not been very good. If we openly recruit necromancers, it will be easy to be labeled as cruel, bloodthirsty, and dark, especially before Mar City and Court One city has just been attacked by necromancers, and the other has been ravaged by soul-devouring beasts. In the short term, even the nobles and commoners of the empire may question this."

Ciro said, "What about you?"

Lawrence was taken aback.

Siro said: "What do you think of Necromancers?"

Lawrence said: "A group of crazy lovers of dead things."

Shiro was silent.

Lawrence said cautiously: "I don't know them well, maybe my opinion is biased."

Ciro said: "No. Your opinion is correct."

Lawrence said: "Since this is the case, are you still going to use them?"

Xi Luo said, "What's your opinion on the Society of Light?"

Lawrence said: "A bunch of hypocritical old guys."

Xi Luo said: "There are not a few people who have such views, but most countries in Dreamland have to respect them and obey them. The sword can be used to defend the country, or it can be used to kill. Money can be used to build an empire , can also be used to buy people's hearts. Things are in your hands, it depends on how to use them."

Lawrence seemed to realize something: "How do you plan to use the Necromancer?"

Siro said: "The Soul-devouring Beast ravages Court City, so we will recruit necromancers to deal with the Soul-devouring Beast. If the Necromancer attacks the city of Mal, we will offer a reward for the capture of the Necromancer who attacks the city of Mal. If the Necromancer accepts the reward, The bounty is doubled. Under such conditions, it shouldn’t be too conspicuous to recruit a necromancer to save Otis, right?”

Lawrence's eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said, "This will cost a lot of money." Due to the weird hobbies of necromancers, their appetites may be harder to satisfy than magicians.

Ciro said: "That's why I asked you to consult Murdoch."

Lawrence suddenly realized, "This amount of money is of course nothing to the wealthy Danya family."

Shiro finally showed a slight smile on his face.

Seeing that his mood was cloudy and sunny, Lawrence took the opportunity to intercede for Hayden, "The empire is in troubled times, isn't Hayden's one-month vacation too long?"

Shiro glanced at him. "What do you think of a year?"

Lawrence immediately shut his mouth.

As soon as the news that the Ban Ding Empire recruited necromancers came out, there was an uproar.

Hayden's rioting in the Temple of Light because of a Necromancer had caused dissatisfaction among many imperial nobles.Because Siro had made him think about his mistakes behind closed doors, they hid their dissatisfaction in their stomachs and kept it secret. However, Siro's three consecutive orders related to the necromancer made their dissatisfaction reach the highest point and finally burst out.

In just two days, Ciro received nearly [-] letters of protest from the nobles of various places to the ministers of various ministries, including even his mother's Trozzo family.The Danya family could only keep silent because Otis was involved in the three orders. Even so, many people sent letters of protest to the Danya family.

By the third day, the protests had intensified and Ciro began to receive resignation letters, including from the top chancellor.Ciro had only one response to this—approval.

Perhaps it was his single-mindedness and ruthless determination that shocked the protesters.After the Chancellor of the Exchequer left the mansion disheartened, the protests finally became much quieter.

Compared with the turmoil within the empire, other countries in the Dreamland did not respond, not even the Divine Society of Light, which was supposed to react most violently, did not make any statement.Emperor Shamanliel even kindly asked if they needed to borrow troops to suppress the Soul-devouring Beast. Of course, this kind of friendly support was immediately rejected by Ciro in a more friendly and gentle tone. No country was willing to let other countries Soldiers set foot on their own territory.

After various reactions at home and abroad to Ciro's decree, the decree quickly spread at home and abroad.

Troubadours add their own ideas and weave it into all kinds of songs, both good and bad.

But in any case, Ciro's original purpose was achieved.

From the fourth day onwards, necromancers came to the door one after another. Although the number was small, considering the unique personality of necromancers and the insufficient number, this was already very rare.

Ciro also kept his promise and organized the Necromancers who were willing to serve the empire into the Necromancer Legion.But unfortunately, there is still no necromancer who has confidence in treating Odis.

Olivia, who was afraid that this incident would cause riots in the empire, hurried back to Van Riel. After seeing this newly formed army of necromancers, she expressed disappointment that if the necromancers in this army were exchanged for magicians, then Their level should hover between Tier [-] and Tier [-].Obviously, this decree did not attract the attention of high-level necromancers, or in other words, the really powerful high-level necromancers are still hesitating.

"Such a great opportunity..." Rhode squatted on the ground depressed, his eyes fixed on the law leaflet, "It's a pity to give up." You know, in order to become a court magician, he not only studied Earth magic, and in order not to reveal her identity, she has to wear a ring with light power every day.Opportunities that he had worked so hard to get were now everywhere like cheap goods, which put his mood in a state of extreme imbalance.

"You can also apply." Mundella sat cross-legged on the ground, building a bone tower with pieces of small bones.This was his new joy, for he found towers much easier to build than houses.It's just that after the little finger was missing on his right hand, he always felt that it was not right to put the bone on the tower, and he was not as easy to control his hand strength as before.

Rhodes was frustrated: "Ciro will not let me go, even if I am innocent."

Mundra said, "You can try it."

Rhodes said angrily: "When you were almost roasted into a roast suckling pig, I saved you with the only summoning scroll left by your master! Now it's my turn to have something to do, but you desperately encouraged me to die Don't you think you are too cold-blooded and ruthless?"

Mundra said: "If you are tied to the stake, I will save you too."

"...Thank you so much!" Rhode said unhappily, "But we haven't been tied up to the stake yet, so shouldn't the most important thing we think about is how to avoid being tied up?!"

Mundella put on the last bone, clapped his hands and stood up and said, "I will apply tomorrow."

Rhodes was surprised: "Are you going?"

Mundra nodded.

"Aren't you afraid it's a trap? Maybe it's a trap that the God of Light and the Empire will jointly capture you!" He threatened him.

Mundella said: "No, Hayden is here."

Rhodes looked at him, and said sourly: "Yes, you still have a high-ranking Marshal like Hayden Nafist who is willing to protect you at all costs."

Mundella tilted his head and said, "If I am hired, I will recommend you."

Rhodes shook his head and said, "That's no different from dying."

Mundella thought for a while, took out the dark blue backless dress from the space bag, and handed it to Rhodes.

Rhodes took it in wonder, "Why?"

Mundra said: "Pretend."
