Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Reiner walked into the tent with a stack of blueprints and paper materials.

"My Lord, I'm here."

Harvey raised his head and pinched his brows, breaking away from the practice of drawing the instant casting matrix.

These days, he has been too busy. He has just moved to the new territory and needs to start everything from scratch. He has also received a group of human slaves abducted by the evil orcs. Harvey needs to worry about the food, drink, and defecation of nearly 20 people in the camp.

Harvey is not short of money now. The many charging items set up in the magic network forum have made him earn a lot of money, and he has saved nearly 30,000 gold pounds as the start-up capital for the construction of the territory.

The problem now is that he has money but it is not convenient to buy the materials he needs.

Asdaren and Reiner are alchemical beings, and their identities are sensitive and they cannot show up outside at will.

Although Pierce is alert and calm, he was just an ordinary hunter in the past. Although Asdaren treated him as a junior and taught him carefully, his cultural level is still not as good as that of a primary school graduate in Harvey's eyes.

Except for Harvey himself, no one else could help him contact the outside world and open up the material trading network.

Harvey could only hope for the newly recruited survivors, "Reiner, have all the identity registrations of these people been completed?"

Reiner straightened his back, flipped through the information in his hand and said seriously, "Sir, I have asked clearly. Pierce and I conducted separate interrogations and then cross-checked their identities and origins."

"These survivors are not from any current human country. They have always lived in the wasteland. Their ancestors migrated to the wasteland because of tax evasion and military service..."

Harvey was stunned, "Aren't they human civilians living south of the God's Ridge Mountains?"

Then he immediately recalled the history books he had read during his college years. Indeed, in the early days of the war between humans and demons, the Federation and the Church were still fighting each other, and they did not pay much attention to this war between the two races that might affect the survival and reproduction of the human race.

As a result, most human countries chose to fight on their own, using the ancient ordinary knights to fight against the talented and powerful demon army, and they fell into a great disadvantage for a while.

It was at that stage that many kingdoms and feudal nobles were stretched to the limit in the war, resulting in a large number of extortions and countless civilians who lost their land and property and fled their homes.

Unexpectedly, there were many such refugees who fled across the Divine Ridge Mountains to the northern wilderness, and survived in such a harsh environment.

...

"Are they willing to work for me and stay in my new territory?"

Reiner nodded, "No one chose to leave. Their temporary settlements on the ice field have been completely occupied. If you are willing to accept them, they are willing to cultivate the land themselves and pay tribute to the lord..."

Harvey shook his head and said, "No, I don't need them to grow food for me, nor do I need them to do heavy labor."

He took out a few pages of pre-prepared materials from the documents on the desk and handed them to Reiner, who was a little confused.

"This is an employment contract. Please read it through first. I will explain to you if you don't understand..."

Harvey thought clearly that his future territory would not need so many people engaged in low-level labor.

What he really needs is "skilled workers" with a certain level of knowledge and manufacturing skills.

This means that for a long time, this group of primitive laborers needs to complete literacy education while building the territory.

The security and force of the territory can be guaranteed by the constantly transformed alchemy beasts.

In the short term, food and other daily necessities can be solved by "importing". When the technology matures, it will be much more effective to use alchemy life to participate in agricultural production than manual labor.

"So we have to complete the infrastructure of the territory first, and implement it according to the previous construction plan."

Reiner nodded and asked hesitantly: "Then... where should we get the materials and materials we need?"

Harvey covered his face and sighed. "Only if I come forward in person, Jackdaw Town, Grizzly Castle, Daus... wherever I can buy it, I will buy it..."

No chamber of commerce is willing to undertake the business of transporting goods across the border.

The large amount of materials purchased will eventually have to be transported to the territory bit by bit by their own alchemy camels.

"Everything is really difficult at the beginning!"

...

"Master Reiner, I don't quite understand... What does it mean to hire us?"

In the tent that sheltered from the wind and rain, several survivors sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounding Reiner and asking questions.

"Doesn't the lord need us to cultivate the fields for him?"

"Then what do we eat? Are we going to work in the mines?"

Reiner held the document in his hand and felt his alchemy brain slightly hot.

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

"Stop! Stop! Let me explain to you!"

Everyone was still very afraid of this strange spellcaster who looked kind on weekdays but looked tall and terrifying. They all shut up when they heard it.

"First of all, those who voluntarily join Master Harvey's territory need to sign a contract of employment, which means that you are willing to work for the lord, and the lord needs to be responsible for your personal safety and pay for your work..."

The middle-aged man who led the survivors was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he asked in a trembling voice with some disbelief: "I... we don't have to be serfs? And... we don't have to pay taxes?"

Reiner nodded and continued to read expressionlessly: "Voluntarily sign the contract and you can become a freeman in the adult's territory. The salary paid to you has already deducted the tax."

The half-orc Vaughn stuttered and interrupted: "Then... what salary, what can you use it for?"

Reiner looked around and explained skillfully: "Of course it belongs to your own property, you can use it to buy food, clothes, livestock, houses..."

Dav only heard the first half of the sentence, his eyes lit up, grinning with a mouth full of fangs and whispered: "Can... can I buy women?"

"Human trafficking is not allowed in the territory!" Reiner secretly clenched his fists, "Don't interrupt, wait until I finish speaking before asking."

At this moment, Vaughn could no longer listen to Reiner's next words.

No longer needing to live as a slave in the lord's territory, they can use their labor to earn money to buy themselves enough food and warm clothes.

When their salary accumulates to a certain level, they can also buy their own house, and they don't have to worry about it being easily taken away. The lord also claims that he has the responsibility to ensure the safety of their lives and property.

I feel that I have never dreamed of such a beautiful prospect.

Although I don't know what kind of work I will do to serve the lord, the orc can't wait for the strange magician with a whole body of metal to talk about the rest.

He quietly bent his legs, supported himself with his hands and slowly slid to Reiner's side, trying to put a smile on his ferocious face.

"Master Reiner, I am willing to sign that...contract and serve the lord!"
