Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Garrett was no longer taken with blindfolded cloth strips, but directly followed him from the castle hall to the ground and entered the rumored laboratory for the most important spell caster.

A piece of rough leather that was neatly cut and flattened was placed on the metal strip table, and there were various potions bottles and cans on the experiment cart next to it. A man in a light short robe was busy lowering his head.

The alchemist...but he did not wear the robe of the Exploration Society. It seemed that he should be a private alchemist who belongs to the lord of the North.

Could it be that their powerful magic weapons were made by this inconspicuous alchemist in front of him in this laboratory?

Garrett looked at the other person a few more quietly, and kept his appearance in his mind.

"Mr. Priest, what do you think of this leather...?" Harvey pointed to the weird thing on the table and asked softly.

Garrett came back to his senses, lowered his head and observed it carefully for a moment, pondering: "Although it was cut into a human form, I can 100% sure it was not human skin, and it was not even leather of humanoid creatures such as dwarves or elves. The source should be some kind of magic creature... I guess it should be used for sacrificial activities for some primitive gods, right? "

Harvey curled his lips, confirming that the church knew nothing about the real situation of the Lizard Man.

He turned his head and gestured to his personal guards with his eyes. The two of them immediately came to the corner of the wall and lifted the tarp that was shrouded outside a huge glass standing jar - revealing the ice-filled magic lizard man in it body.

"The glory is above! This is... what is this?" Garrett let out an incredible cry, and staggered to the glass standing can, pressing his whole face to the glass wall as much as possible, widening his eyes and carefully looking. Looking at the magic lizard man frozen in it.

Harvey noticed keenly, with a noticeable look of shock on his face, but there was no fear at all.

He coughed lightly, walked up to him and whispered, "This is what you call a powerful alien enemy... After being captured by us, he was named the magic lizard man's intelligent creature."

"They have appeared in the southern border?"

Harvey shook his head and said openly: "The traces found in the depths of the wasteland are unknown... but now it should be just a small number of advancers who are moving."

Garrett struggled to turn his eyes away from the frozen lizard man, muttering in a hoarse voice: "How could it be in the wasteland... In the secret book of God's enlightenment, it clearly... it clearly predicts that [the disaster comes from the deep sea] ! ”

Harvey chuckled, "It seems that your historical heritage is too secret and deliberately concealed, many key information has been lost - in fact, deep in the northern wasteland, there is also a vast ice that is not inferior to the southern waters. ocean."

The old priest took a breath and whispered: "In the past, we have sent people to explore the north of the wasteland many times, but except for the evil orc tribes and the scattered demon settlements, we have found nothing... Could it be Because we haven't gone far enough? ”

Harvey shrugged, not choosing to take the initiative to say the specific direction of the frozen soil and ice sea, but instead changed the topic: "Now you should understand why I don't need to consider the issue of secrecy and alliance, right?"

Garrett lowered his eyes and said a little disgusted: "It's true, it's because I'm too blind and arrogant."

He paused, raised his hands and crossed them in his chest, bowed slightly and gave a strange worship to Harvey, "Before I came, the Crown had told me... If the Lord of the North chooses to form an alliance with the church," , then we will do our best to help you replace the supreme status and influence of the Federation in the casting world…”

Harvey was a little surprised, "What if I refuse to form an alliance?"

The old priest lowered his head and said firmly: "If you refuse... the Pope's Crown begs you to send troops to Gorice and directly occupy the holy city!"

"What? The Pope asked us to send troops to take his lair?" Reiner spoke in extreme shock, and his tone became emotional. "There are only two possibilities, the trap or the Pope is crazy!"

Asdaren pondered for a moment and guessed carefully: "Maybe there is another possibility... The Pope has lost absolute control of the Holy City and has become a puppet in name only."

Harvey nodded in agreement, "This speculation is extremely likely. In fact, there have been rumors in the world of magic casting that the Holy See has been dominated by the divine punishment faction who advocates witch hunting in recent years."

"That wouldn't be a way to lead the wolf into the house and win the internal struggle for them with the power of the spellcaster?"

"I suspect that the one who conveys the signal of alliance to the city lord is probably not the Thirteenth generation we are familiar with..."

Arturo's family and church have been fighting wits and courage for generations. Compared to others, he knew some of the secrets and traditions of the church better. Seeing everyone's expressions of doubt, he continued to explain: "What we know about the Holy See in the past is only Limited to every pope ascends the throne, he will be regarded as the human incarnation of the gods. The new pope will be directly erased from all the records of the scriptures and will be directly named by the reign number."

Asdaren nodded and said, "Yes, in the era I lived in in the past, the pope was called the Eleventh."

Reiner muttered, "That was three or four hundred years ago. Even if they experienced twelve generations in the middle, their lifespan was too long. Isn't every pope known for his longevity? "

Egno rolled his eyes and complained: "Absolutely impossible! The elves believe in the primitive gods that are naturally incarnated, and they will never convert to the God of Glory, and they will never join the Holy See!"

Harvey shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the Garrett priest, after conveying the Pope's oral order, expressed to me the special identity of the Secret Prayer, and then he will enter a state of absolute silence... and never again I communicated, otherwise I could find a way to figure out what this shocking request made by the pope means. "

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

It is useless to think too much. Harvey has more important things to consider now. The issue of being enemies or friends with the church... You can put it aside first and then make in-depth considerations when he finishes his work.

At present, the crisis in St. Valen has been lifted. There is no need to worry that the chaos in the central southern border will affect the development and expansion of its own sphere of influence. The ice sea exploration base has also been basically built, a Yonggu Post Office firmly nailed to the front line of foreign invasions. , can slightly relieve Harvey's anxiety about unknown enemies.

The most important thing next is undoubtedly to digest the recently growing migrant population, while increasing production and development efforts, and make complete preparations for the fight against the enemy.

The population that can be migrated and absorbed in St. Valen has reached the upper limit. Excessively enlisting people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns to migrate northward is not the best choice... Therefore, Harvey immediately plundered the population and fought. It reached the heads of neighboring countries.

"Sir, the population of Xinghuo City and its surrounding areas is nearly 80,000. Looking around, the countries in the southern border have never had such a large scale and a large population. It is already a miracle to support these people stably... It also needs to expand without limits, I am worried that it will cause the city to lose control!”

"Since the church has taken the initiative to hand us an olive branch, it will inevitably gradually make a certain degree of concession for a long time..." Harvey said in a deep voice, "This will also directly lead to changes in the political situation in the southern border, among the noble royal family. Conflicts and wars will also occur frequently, which is a good opportunity for us to absorb the rapid expansion of our population."

From the perspective of a city and a territory, the unlimited population expansion does cause many problems - but it would be natural to change the perspective and regard it as a country with a highly concentrated population distribution.

So, Harvey felt it was time to change his identity and officially declare himself the supreme ruler of the City of Sparks and the Principality of St. Valen... In this way, he could join the power pond where secular nobles fought with justice and take it all The "Great White Shark".
