Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Being assigned to the Golden City, the capital of Saint Valen, which had just experienced the baptism of war, to be responsible for rebuilding the Federation branch... For Chuck Lawrence, a research mage who had just been promoted to a high-level position, it was simply a huge pie falling from the sky.

Although Fran McCaughlin, the head of the Department of Magical Affairs, intervened and snatched the position of the task leader, the actual reconstruction work was still handled by Lawrence himself - and it was naturally him who stayed in Golden City as the head of the branch.

What made him most happy was that he was about to take over a clean "stall" where the Radiant Church and the royal court nobles had all been cleaned up. There were no church priests who were constantly making trouble, and no court mages who frequently found fault... Lawrence even suspected that after the eccentric northern lord withdrew, he would be the only high-level spellcaster left in Golden City.

This kind of comfortable treatment that allows one to fully display his fists and feet without being constrained at all, I am afraid that no city branch director in the southern countries has ever enjoyed it.

Of course, people tend to become more difficult to satisfy after they have power, and the newly promoted magic politician Lawrence is no exception... He had planned before coming here. Since the external "enemies" of the Federation in Jinhui City have completely fallen, it is natural to turn the management goals to the internal and sort out the internal operating rules.

After all, concentrating power in one's own hands can better reflect one's management ability... Maybe if he performs well for a few years, he can return to the headquarters of Alaye as he wishes, be promoted to the Magic Review Department, and have a precious seat in the Hall of Truth.

Lawrence planned very carefully - first reopen the magic academy that was previously sealed by the church and the nobles, and recruit teachers and students in the name of the branch. As for the position of the dean... naturally, as the general manager of the branch, he reluctantly took on the position, so that all magic apprentices graduating from the academy will be named his students in the future, which will greatly enhance his reputation in the magic world.

There is also the Alchemy Exploration Society, which has always followed the Union's lead. They were also implicated in the turmoil in Saint Valen this time. Several laboratories and alchemy workshops built in the capital were destroyed. Sigh... These weak alchemists should be directly included in the branch's jurisdiction system. It would be best if the workshops and laboratories were set up under the Union's branch industry. Anyway, alchemists are not good at management... I can also take this opportunity to add an income to the branch, which can be called a win-win choice.

However, the news he suddenly received early this morning made him feel a little difficult to accept.

The northern lord who was born as a spellcaster actually had a sudden idea... He wanted to establish a new spellcaster organization called the Academy of Magical Sciences in the capital, and would work closely with the branch of the Union in the future as an operational pilot of the future "New Union".

What does "New Union" mean? Lawrence was unwilling to spend time thinking about it. The approval document from the Alaye headquarters did mention that the Jinhui City branch needed to unconditionally cooperate with the instructions of the Northern Lord in all aspects, but what did it mean to suddenly form a spellcaster organization to compete with the Federation?

Lawrence could only think that the other party did not intend to let the Federation monopolize all the spellcasting talents and magic resources in Jinhui City alone... He felt a little funny. On the surface, he had already cooperated with the Federation, but in private, he still put on this defensive posture. This Northern Lord still looked like those independent spellcasters, short-sighted and narrow-minded.

Forget it, wait until his child's play Magic Academy is established... Then you will naturally know that in terms of attracting talents and resources, this unknown grass-roots organization can't compete with the Federation that spans the entire Southern Continent.

Just as Lawrence was daydreaming, a clerk suddenly ran into the hall of the branch that was being repaired and reported to him: "Mr. Supervisor, that...that northern lord is coming to our branch! Mr. McLean from the Department of Magical Affairs is accompanying him."

"Huh? What is he doing here?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment and said dryly: "He said he brought that...headquarters member of the Academy of Magical Sciences to visit and exchange with the branch."

Lawrence was shocked and his spirits were greatly lifted...Wow! The other party is here to show him off!

"Call all branch members and follow me to welcome the northern wizard lord!"

...

Harvey originally planned to walk to the Federation branch in the inner city of the capital, but unfortunately the inner city, which had just experienced a series of bombings, had collapsed buildings everywhere and narrow roads...In order not to cause the residents in the city to watch and riot, he could only reluctantly take Arturo and others who had just arrived and take a floating airship directly from the sky.

It was just right for Maclean, who had never tried to ride an air vehicle, to experience a different way of flying.

Before the airship landed at the Federation branch, the soldiers of the Northern Army holding magic guns had already arrived in a line, surrounded the entire branch rudely, and tried to enter the interior for a search, almost causing an unnecessary conflict between the two parties.

When Harvey and others got off the airship, they happened to see the awkward scene of the two parties, and couldn't help but nod slightly to Mr. Fadun with some apology, and the other party could only shrug in frustration.

Lawrence stood in front of the branch gate with a serious face, and whispered to his secretary and deputy: "Although we are both spellcasters, we should still address him as the Lord of the City in formal occasions, and don't be too casual... He is not an ordinary independent spellcaster, but the lord of a city."

The deputy was a young and arrogant middle-level man. He curled his lips in disdain, "How can a spellcaster who is obsessed with secular power be qualified to be our colleague? I will not pay him the courtesy of a wizard..."

When Harvey and the others slowly approached, Lawrence heard McCaughlin lead He spoke first, introducing with a smile: "This is Mr. Chuck Lawrence, the new branch director... Like us, he is a research-based spellcaster."

Lawrence stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said elegantly: "Mr. City Lord, welcome to the Federation branch... Director McCaughlin arrived first, so we, the latecomers, have not had time to visit you in person."

Harvey hummed, turned to McCaughlin and asked: "I heard that the branch plans to reopen the two closed magic academies?"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

"It seems that there is such a plan... Director Lawrence is responsible for personally presiding over this matter."

"Very good!" Harvey suddenly laughed, looking at Lawrence with a burning gaze, "I plan to directly merge the two magic academies in Jinhui City and incorporate them into the Academy of Magic Science as a subordinate institution... In the future, magic apprentices who successfully graduate and have outstanding performance and outstanding talents can directly enter the Academy for further studies!"

What? This sentence directly caused a commotion among the people in the Federation branch.

Lawrence was also stunned for a moment. After he recovered and understood the meaning, he secretly clenched his fists and couldn't help but stand up and objected: "Your Excellency the City Lord, I'm afraid you can't act so rudely! This is totally illegal!"
