Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The capital of Saint Valen, Jinhui City.

After a rainstorm in early autumn, the whole city was filled with a smell of dampness and rot. Even the cold temperature that suddenly dropped after night could not dispel this turbid and dull feeling.

The Lower City, where civilians live, is always chaotic and noisy at night. A large number of taverns and brothels only open at night, lit up bright lights, and used cheap wine and sweet powder to desperately attract customers wandering on the street.

The wine is cheap, inferior sour ale, and you can drink a big glass with two copper coins. The price of a woman standing on the street corner is not high. It only takes thirty copper coins to take to the hotel overnight. If you are reluctant to pay for the hotel's expenses , twenty copper coins can also be followed by the woman back to her residence directly.

Benjamin pushed open the door of the tavern and saw a strong man huddled at the corner table and drank drunk. He frowned and walked forward quickly, grabbed his greasy and dirty collar and asked, "Fuck it! You are so drunk before it gets dark? Have you done what you told you to do?”

The drunken strong man grinned, "Ah! Benjamin, why are you here? Sit down and have a drink together!"

This guy is nicknamed "Rat King". He is one of the gang leaders in this neighborhood in the Lower City area that is full of taverns. He has about dozens of minions who are busy making money for him, and a large number of pickpockets who are under their control. Beggar and streetwoman.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not here to drink with you today." Benjamin pushed away the drink brought by the waiter and whispered: "Where is the person I want? It's been a week, why haven't I seen any of them? You have any Didn't take it to heart? ”

The Rat King was stunned and came to his senses and smiled, "There have been a lot of chaos in the city recently, and the top is staring too tightly, so it is not convenient for us to do it..."

Benjamin said angrily: "Then go to the nearby countryside, or the villages and towns far away. In short, you have to do things if you collect money, otherwise you will spit out the money as you originally did!"

Facing Benjamin, a childhood friend and former city guard captain, the Rat King did not dare to get angry easily, so he could only say patiently: "Go outside? Those countryside untouchables are much more savage than those in the city. If you can have a bite of food, you will definitely I won't sell my children easily..."

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Benjamin, who are you doing things for now? If you don't tell me a secret, my brothers and I will not dare to do our best..."

Benjamin did not answer, but raised his hand and pointed it out the window, allowing the Rat King to see the towering church bell tower not far away through the tavern window.

The Rat King sighed, "Okay, I will do my best. Even if I don't get much, I will use the wandering children and the little beggar under my hands to make up the numbers. Don't worry, I will never make you embarrassed in front of the big guys, but Remuneration…”

Benjamin snorted coldly, stretched out two fingers, and chuckled, "Double, the adults above me don't care about the price. As long as the person sent him to satisfy him, this is definitely a good business for you!"

But before the Rat King and his subordinates started to run this good deal, they encountered difficult trouble.

A strange epidemic suddenly appeared in the king's capital.

At first, everyone thought it was just a common cold epidemic, because the weather this year is indeed colder than before. Even though autumn has just begun, St. Valen, located in the north-north south, is already a bit cold.

But when those unlucky guys who were inexplicably infected with the disease died soon on the street, people gradually discovered something wrong - although there were symptoms of coughing up blood and weakness, moldy bacteria appeared on the skin of the dead The dark green marks are extremely swollen on the abdomen, and they will explode with a slight poke. The smelly internal organs flow along the ground with a large stream of green water, making people feel both disgusting and chilling.

This is definitely not an ordinary cold epidemic!

More and more people have the same symptoms. The interval between onset and death is extremely short. However, within three to five days, these people lose their lives in pain, and those who have been exposed to patients and corpses also begin to appear physically. With the same dark green mold spots, no matter whether it is herbal dressings or bloodletting treatment, it cannot be cured.

Fear soon spread in the lower city of the royal capital, and more believers went to the cathedral of the Lower City to pray and seek help. The church's low-ranking priests and pastors also held several Holy Water Masses and Holy Light rituals, but without a trace. The effect of alleviating the disease.

The king had to directly close the gate between the upper and lower urban areas to prevent this strange epidemic from spreading to the upper urban area and the royal court. After all, the noble nobles and grand dukes live here.

The same epidemic gradually occurred in the villages and farms around the capital, but there were no churches and parishes in remote areas in the countryside. A large number of sick civilians flocked to the capital to seek treatment and help, but were ruthlessly blocked by the city guards in the capital. In addition.

Finally, on the eve of the situation approaching uncontrollable, the bishop of St. Valen's Cathedral stood up.

He publicly claimed that this was the secret magic wizard and the evil alchemist. The secret magic lab they set up in the royal city, an irrescue leak accident occurred, which released the terrifying corpse plague and infected a large number of innocent civilians. .

The church also stated that no treatment method can resist this terrifying corpse epidemic at present. Even if the infected person is bathed in the holy light, he will soon reach the end of his life in extreme pain, but the church will never sit idly by. They have reported the situation as soon as possible to the headquarters of the Glorious Church, the city of grace.

The thirteenth Pope's crown has led the cardinals and high-ranking priests to develop divine grace potions that can slow down and curb the symptoms of the onset of the epidemic.

At the same time, the Archbishop also sharply questioned the Federation branch located in the royal capital Jinhui City, believing that they shamelessly concealed and condoned in this incident, and that the evil spell casters who caused a large number of civilians to die must bear all their responsibility for this. .

For a moment, everyone in the royal capital was in danger. Under the dual pressure of the church and the nobles, the Federation branch was forced to launch an internal investigation and arrested a large number of ordinary spellcasters living in Jinhui City, regardless of whether their identity was The Necromancer.

On Central Street in Uptown, the Union's branch in St. Valencia is closely adjacent to the Alchemy Secret Workshop.

The Federation officials wearing standard robes sat in the conference room in the branch hall and had a heated discussion with their colleagues who were hurriedly coming to meet.

"This kind of epidemic has absolutely nothing to do with the necromancer, and it cannot be an experimental accident caused by the alchemist!"

"If this kind of plague cannot be purified by the church priests who are good at healing magic, will the necromancers still be oppressed and expelled by them and attacked and killed them at will? They had long since cast the plague into the pope's kingdom out of revenge, and made it change. It has become a paradise for plague, right?”

The head of the gray-haired Federation branch said, "In any case, the most urgent task is to report this matter to the headquarters of Alaye as soon as possible. We alone cannot resist the pressure from the union of the church's nobles, even if we have not found any real thing. I'm worried that they will attack us soon."

The high-level alchemist who came to discuss with them also nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty the Grand Duke sent a personal guard to directly surround our alchemist workshop and strictly restricted the personal freedom of the alchemists, even if we are now It's too late to leave Jinhui City to avoid the limelight..."

The most troublesome situation is that it cannot find the initiator. Compared with the church's reputation among the people, the Federation has no way to reverse public opinion in this incident, and can only temporarily suffer this loss.

The branch director turned his head and looked at a young spellcaster who was silent from beginning to end in the conference room, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dult, what do you think and suggest about this?"

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

Dult Hoden frowned slightly, looked up at the anxious people in the hall, and said depressedly: "I had already written a letter to Daus yesterday, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will receive a reply tomorrow, I...my uncle and Alaye has a close relationship and should be able to seek timely help for us..."

The supervisor sighed and said intimately: I hope we can hold on until the aid arrives.

"Far Shield" Fran McCorlin took a thick stack of letters from his assistant, all of which were private letters directly passed to him by the spell messenger.

"Huh? How did that guy's nephew send me a letter from St. Valen..."

Fran waved his hand and took a small letter-breaking knife. He cut the envelope with a private lacquer seal a few times, and casually swept the contents on several lines of the letter paper.

"Come! Come on!"

The assistant hurriedly returned, looking at his boss with a panic expression in confusion.

"Go and find out the branch report sent by St. Valen a week ago! It is the document reporting the unknown epidemic in Jinhui City!"

Since its establishment, the Spellcasters Federation has been a style of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside. Except for most of the affairs related to the invasion of the demons, all internal competent departments are handled by each internal competent department, without reporting to the highest review committee and the third level. The chief there.

Only when there are adverse events in the war in the Evil Moon Mountains, or some disputes involving multiple forces, will a meeting be held to vote for the resolution.

This has led to the extremely bureaucratic and scattered style of the internal officials of the Federation. As long as the war report is not sent urgently through the dedicated line, even if it is a red stamped document, they must be relieved. It takes a few days to get a reply and process.

The outbreak of an epidemic in a certain city is too common in the eyes of the caster who has always been arrogant and has no deep contact with the world, and the church and the union are in dispute with each other in the branches of various countries. It happens from time to time. As long as there is no direct conflict and conflict, most of the time, it will be passed by casually and perfunctorily.

"An unknown corpse plague, the church claimed that it was the consent of the union... The necromancer and the alchemist caused by the necromancer, the Grand Duke of St. Valen directly ordered the federation branch of the Jinhui City to arrest ordinary spell casting in the capital. Among them, the church sent combat priests and judges knights to cooperate..."

After reading the report that was obviously ignored and put on hold after Fran hurriedly, he felt a slump in his heart and had a vague premonition.

The church is trying to directly arouse secular nobles and ordinary people and hate the Federation's spellcasters!
