Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey soon received a reply from the Burning Lord, who agreed to fulfill his previous promise.

[Burning Lord: Dear Mr. Turing, I have discussed with the other two chiefs and unanimously decided to agree to your request - now we will formally invite Mr. Neumann, the Observer, to join the Spellcaster Union as an honorary member...]

He read this long message repeatedly, and could no longer suppress the smile on his lips. Finally, he couldn't help but slap the desk and laughed.

Harvey knew what this meant - he would have the highest authority to access those massive amounts of precious documents and magic knowledge. As long as the magic books recorded and collected by the Union for thousands of years, he would have the right to retrieve and read them at will.

This was equivalent to letting Harvey, a mid-level spellcaster who had just learned to swim, immediately have a vast ocean of magic knowledge. How could he not be ecstatic about it?

If he were a necromancer in the past, although he was also a spellcaster who graduated from a regular mage academy and was an orthodox mage registered with the Federation, in order to obtain nearly unlimited knowledge access rights, he would at least need to become a formal member of the Federation, and serve in the Evil Moon Mountains for several years, slowly accumulating reputation and job level, and finally being promoted to a high-level spellcaster, before he could barely achieve it.

As far as Harvey knows, the number of high-level spellcasters in the Federation who are necromancers is so rare that they can be counted on two hands, and none of them are in important positions, and they are extremely marginalized.

"Next, I need to communicate and negotiate with the other party to determine a suitable way for me to access the literature online..."

After all, Harvey couldn't go to the Alaye Sky Domain Magic Library in person in reality, which was no different from running naked on the street. He could only use the convenience of the Magic Network Forum to let the Federation set up a working group to connect with him and upload the required information and documents to the forum for him to read.

Harvey didn't think the other party would reject his proposal, because this document upload group dedicated to him also meant that the number of forum members with the background of the Federation could be increased by two to three, which was exactly what their small group wanted to achieve.

The faction with the most forum members would maximize their voice and interests in the forum.

"If we can trick the Federation into uploading all their valuable documents to the forum and create a magic Wikipedia for the Magic Network Forum, that would be the most attractive and valuable..." Harvey suddenly had an idea in his mind, and recalled the painful experience of looking up various references and paper materials during his graduation season in his previous life.

Yes, this is indeed a great idea, but it may take a long time to implement, and it is impossible to produce a finished product in a short time, but we can try to make a prototype first.

Harvey would take action immediately when he thought of it, and immediately took out paper and pen to start writing the general framework of this plan.

First of all, this magic Wikipedia must be an independent section with access rights in the forum.

Forum members can be divided into different levels of information access based on the amount of points. The higher the authority, the more information can be accessed...

But this will cause a problem - that is, members who originally have a background in the Federation cannot gain any benefits from it. After all, they can read documents at will in the Sky Domain Magic Tower without spending any points in reality.

So Harvey has to add an additional rule of open source knowledge, that is, members of other intelligent races other than the Federation can also enter their own knowledge documents or valuable historical materials into it, and then judge its value based on the scores of paid readers for this part of the content, so that those who upload and share the documents can obtain corresponding points.

This can realize real knowledge payment, which is completely in line with the "open communication" principle of the forum's initial creation.

"I don't know if these spellcasters who are in high positions in various magic organizations in reality can accept the way of completely open communication and free flow of magic knowledge under the current situation of strict barriers between spellcaster factions..."

As the largest official organization of spellcasters on the continent, the Federation is the most open and advanced in the atmosphere of academic exchange. This is also due to the large number of magic academies they have established in various parts of the southern continent, so that the profession of magician is no longer firmly controlled by a very small number of wizard families.

But the conservative faction within the Federation still has the upper hand in numbers. On academic issues, it still follows the outdated style of the wizard clans in the past, and has extremely strict blockades on many magic knowledge and research results.

Harvey can only roughly judge that the members with the background of the Federation who are qualified to join the Spellcaster Forum are not among these conservative factions, but if the number of members is increased on a large scale in the future, it will inevitably attract hostility and attacks from conservatives.

The chief of the Federation, the Lord of Scorching, has already revealed his true identity in front of Harvey. He will definitely stand on the side of the forum, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Federation.

"I hope this open-minded chief wizard can mediate for me and clear the obstacles of the conservatives..." Harvey sighed secretly while writing the plan.

...

In fact, many of the magic theories and knowledge of ancient wizards have been overturned one by one by the magic geniuses who have emerged in the era in the rapid development of thousands of years. Even the meditation method that Harvey learned at the Academy of the Dead has been improved and transformed for several generations.

However, the unique creative magic of legendary spellcasters and the improved magic that high-level spellcasters constantly innovate are still more popular with today's spellcasters than the common magic that is a mixture of new and old.

The Spellcaster Union of Alaye was founded only a hundred years ago. Although it inherited many magical legacies of the ancient wizard kingdom, the latter is far inferior to the former in terms of the quantity and quality of knowledge reserves.

After all, the only criterion for measuring a spell is the spellcasting effect. Whether it is a combat spell or an auxiliary spell, it strictly follows a unified evaluation system.

Most of the common spells that have been passed down from ancient times to the present have been studied by countless spellcasters, and it is difficult to have new improvements and potential for improvement. Only creative spells can provide inspiration for spellcasters to study. By learning and analyzing their essential laws, they can achieve the only channel for rank promotion.

This is also the main purpose of Harvey's desire to realize the Magic Wikipedia. Innovation and development always sprout out of extensive mutual communication and learning.

After he drafted the forum module framework of the Magic Encyclopedia, he first logged into the magic network and registered a new code name in advance - Observer Neumann, and then directly clicked on the forum code of Mr. Burning Master who was active online at the moment to initiate a separate communication application.

[Observer Neumann: Hello, Mr. Burning Master, I am sorry to contact you so late. I must have introduced my identity to you in advance through Mr. Turing...]

[Scorching Master: It is an honor to communicate with you, Mr. Observer, are you contacting me today to join the Federation? 】

Harvey glanced at the forum plan of the magic encyclopedia that was placed next to the "magic brain" instrument at the moment, and sent the content on it in a brief text form to the legendary spellcaster.

[Observer Neumann: The above are some of my needs for accessing and reading materials after joining the Federation. I believe you also know that I can't easily reach Alaye and really enter the magic library in the sky and space to read the classics, so I need you to arrange a special person for me to upload all the information I need... Of course, for this, I am willing to provide three forum members as a membership quota as compensation for your service to me. 】

Salas looked at the content sent by the other party on the crystal panel. In fact, it was not surprising. He knew very well that neither Mr. Turing nor this observer would be likely to come to Alaye at will. The existence of this group of suspected ancient races in different space is probably restricted by certain real space rules. They cannot descend into the real world in their bodies. They can only communicate with the spellcasters in the real world in secret through the form of the spellcaster forum.

No mistakes, just one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

[Scorching Lord: This is a small question. I can fully meet your requirements. I will arrange three staff members to directly retrieve the magic documents and research materials stored in the Federation for you. At the same time, these three people still follow the basic requirements of joining the forum. They are all high-level spellcasters. This will be more fair. ]

Harvey couldn't help laughing. This chief gentleman must have secretly selected a lot of high-level spellcasters and lined up to join the spellcaster forum. Now being able to jump the queue in advance is equivalent to picking up a big bargain. You don't have to wait until the next time the forum recruits new members to pay a lot of points or compete for a place through auction.

[Observer Neumann: In addition, I have an interesting proposal that I want to discuss with you directly... About my idea of ​​building a virtual magic knowledge treasure house similar to the Sky Domain Magic Library in the forum. I wonder if you are interested in this? 】

Harvey kept typing on the keyboard of the "Magic Brain" instrument, and instilled some basic frameworks and operating rules of the magic Wikipedia he had drawn up before into the legendary spellcaster in the form of text.

The code name of the Burning Overlord kept flashing, indicating that the other party had been receiving and reading the long message sent by Harvey, but there was no reply for a long time. I don’t know if it was shocked by Harvey’s bold idea, or suspected that Harvey had some ulterior motives.

"He actually wants to upload the research documents and magic knowledge collected by the Federation to the spellcaster forum and share them with all forum members?" Soren Dawson stood beside Sarath, looking at the text on the crystal panel, and looked at his colleagues in disbelief.

"What a ridiculous and whimsical idea! Haha, let alone the creative spells that only legendary spellcasters are qualified and capable of creating, the improved spells of those high-level spellcasters are enough for them to treasure and not allow anyone to covet them at will. Without an exchange of interests of equal value, who would be willing to share publicly?" Soren Dawson paced back and forth in the study room in annoyance, constantly muttering to himself to refute the observer's proposal.

Sarath unexpectedly fell silent and did not immediately agree with Dawson's remarks.

Not only the old-fashioned and conservative seven wizard kingdoms, but even within the Federation, there are a large number of conservative spellcasters. Their concepts and views are completely consistent with those of old-school research-oriented spellcasters like Dawson.

"Daoson, have you ever thought that our wizard ancestors learned how to obtain and use magic power thousands of years ago from dragons, elves, giants, demons and other magical creatures, and then tried it continuously Wrong, analysis and creation of various magics, thus gaining powerful power. With the weakest short-lived species among the continental races, humans, standing at the top of the extraordinary world…”

"Such a glorious victory and glorious victory has made us successors more persistent and fanatical pursuit of the knowledge and power brought by magic, and spread the seeds of magic throughout the southern continent... Until the sudden appearance and growth of the glorious church, A situation that is evenly matched with us has been formed in hundreds of years, and its reputation is several times better than ours in the eyes of secular mortals. In the past hundred years, we need to be forced to form a shameful alliance with them in order to resist the massive invasion of the demons... ”

The speech of the legendary spellcaster Kemo Salas became increasingly low, as if his mood fluctuated a little abnormally. Dawson, who was originally angry, calmed down and his eyes were a little dim.

"If the conservatives are allowed to firmly control the knowledge and research results of the magic world, and still erect high barriers to the clan, I am worried that in a few decades, when all the old things, the human spell casters will gradually disappear, after all, the old people, will be killed. It is difficult for geniuses who can be called legendary...”

He stood up and looked at his old friend who had worked with him for thirty years, warning with deep meaning.

"At that time, the end of the human spellcaster was truly coming..."
