Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Durte, are the alchemy apprentices and magic apprentices in your spellcaster academy doing well?"

Harvey asked with a smile while holding a cup of hot tea in the school dean's office.

Durt rubbed his hands awkwardly, and said with shame: "Sir, there are only 76 alchemy and magic apprentices in the Spellcaster Academy, which are divided into three classes: alchemy, magic and potion. Due to the shortage of magic teachers, Durt, Chris, Egno and I are currently teaching part-time..."

The number of children with spellcasting talent among the local residents of the Pioneer Territory is less than one-third of the apprentices, which is also what Durt has been distressed and crazy about - according to common sense, after receiving enlightenment education, at least one in a thousand children with spellcasting talent can be selected. The capital of a duchy like Jinhui City with a population of more than 30,000 to 50,000 and the surrounding towns can easily fill a small Federation kilometer magic academy, which is enough to train hundreds of formal spellcasting apprentices for the Federation.

But here in the pioneer territory of the northern wilderness, there are not even 30 children in the population of more than 20,000. It is impossible that there is something wrong with the physical constitution of these native wilderness civilians. After all, there are many new immigrants who originally lived in the southern border.

"Could it be that my method of discovering and testing their spellcaster talents is not correct?" Durt almost doubted his past experience, "But this is obviously the test method used by the Federation for hundreds of years... the tolerance test method of mental power and magic power..."

Harvey couldn't help but think of his experience of receiving magic enlightenment education from the court spellcaster consultant when he was young - at the age of eight, you can take talent tests through magic potions and mental power frequency coordinators. Once you are over fifteen and still can't tolerate magic potions and can't activate mental power frequency, it can basically be declared that you have no chance of learning magic in this life.

"Don't worry for now... The children in the pioneer territory have just escaped poverty for a few years. Many of them have been illiterate for generations. It is indeed difficult to immediately discover talented spellcasters among them." Harvey comforted.

Durte breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly: "I originally thought that the establishment of the spellcaster academy could provide some apprentice apprentices for the alchemy laboratory, medical hospital, and magic arsenal, which have always lacked magic talents. Who knows..."

He was embarrassed to mention that the magic arsenal often had to rely on Harvey, the lord, to personally lead a group of high-level spellcasters in the territory to do some repeated testing experiments that only magic apprentices could complete.

"I have made arrangements in advance. If our own talent pool is not enough, then we can introduce talents from outside!" Harvey did not feel discouraged, and said with a smile, "I have sent letters to the dwarves and elves to invite them to send some young people with magic talent from their tribes. We will provide them with magic enlightenment education, and they will work for the territory for five to eight years as a price to pay..." Durt was stunned for a moment, and almost jumped up in shock, "Lord! Aliens cannot learn human magic knowledge, this... This is a traditional rule set since the ancient Magic Council!" Harvey rolled his eyes, Somewhat displeased, he said: "Bullshit rules! Humans can't take in hybrid elves at will! Look, isn't Egno staying well in the territory?"

Durte, a former official member of the Federation, trembled and said: "The Federation may turn a blind eye because of your status as a collaborator, but if the Magic Council of the Seven Wizarding Kingdoms knew about it, they would drown us with spit alone."

Harvey waved his hand nonchalantly and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry about this issue, I have my own way to solve and coordinate... You just need to prepare and make good arrangements for the upcoming batch of foreign magic students."

The Magic Council of the Seven Wizarding Kingdoms? Many of their core high-level members are still hoping to get more points in my magic network spellcaster forum, add more members of their faction, and gain more benefits...

...

Durte pursed his lips and stopped trying to forcefully argue with the lord about these old and backward traditional legacy issues. Anyway, his life was saved by the lord, and the Saint Valen Federation branch no longer exists under the attack of the church and the nobles. Holding on to this powerful high-level spellcaster who has a close relationship with his uncle is the biggest help and hope for his future advancement in the way of magic.

"Then... how should I arrange these alien spellcasting apprentices?"

"Didn't you divide them into three subjects: alchemy, spellcasting, and potions? Just test their talents in the same way as selecting human magic apprentices, and then divide them into different classes..."

Durte's mood eased a lot, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "My lord, don't you know? The racial magic talent of the dwarves is limited to the scope of guiding, absorbing, and casting earth element magic... The elves can only sense the natural elements in the magic network, which is why we human spellcasters call them magic dwarves..."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the door of the dean's office, fearing that he would be beaten up by the hybrid elf Egnor if he was not careful.

"Ah? Is that so?" Harvey scratched his head awkwardly, "I didn't seem to learn this part of common sense about alien races when I was in the magic academy..."

He was a little embarrassed. After all, the Undead Magic Academy was a typical unpopular "wild chicken school" among the many spellcaster academies in the southern continent. Both the teaching quality and the teacher configuration were simple. Many advanced magic subjects were not offered separately, and the main focus was to deal with "general teachers".

"But there are only two subjects offered separately. Chris is responsible for teaching the dwarf spellcasting apprentices, and Egnor... is responsible for teaching the elf apprentices."

Durte said cautiously: "Egnor is... a hybrid elf. Would he be reluctant to teach these... elf apprentices who used to hate and despise his hybrid identity?"

Harvey immediately recalled the scene when he rescued Egnor, and his often loose hair to cover up his incomplete pointed ears, and felt a little emotional.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

"Alas... this is a problem. It is not easy to make him repay kindness with ingratitude. I will go and persuade him personally. If that doesn't work, I will let Asdalen teach him personally."

Anyway, for him, this group of alien magic apprentices is more for the purpose of establishing a close cooperative relationship with the elves and dwarves in the Spellcaster Forum, so as to balance the situation in the forum that is now dominated by the Federation faction. By the way, he can also gain a group of ready-made magic apprentices and provide five to eight years of free labor for his pioneering territory.

As for how much they can learn and how much they can take back from him, it depends entirely on his mood and the subsequent performance of the other party.
