Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The winter in Jackdaw Town passed peacefully.

The fierce and difficult battle to defend the manor that Harvey had expected did not happen.

Pierce took the alchemy beast to patrol and guard the border of the mountains every day, but apart from the wild beasts migrating back and forth, there was no shadow of an evil orc.

Asdalen also took Reiner back to the ancient wizard ruins again, carefully searching for more beetle ores scattered in the pit.

After repeated tests, Harvey has roughly known the purpose of this strange substance.

That is a super-strong compressed magic energy carrier similar to a "nuclear battery".

He believes that this energy carrier can not only be used to load on the alchemy prosthesis, but also allow Reiner to cast an energy shock wave like the "Death Eyes" to directly penetrate and obliterate the target object.

This energy can even cross the space barrier between reality and the magic network, achieving a cross-dimensional attack effect without using the magic matrix.

It's a pity that the evil orcs never returned to Jackdaw Ridge after retreating, otherwise Harvey wouldn't mind letting them be his target for firepower testing.

...

Not long after the snow melted, the church and the Union staff returned to Jackdaw Town first.

The magic affairs examiner Burco Conrad had just walked back to the town.

From a distance, Harvey was seen waiting at the gate of the Union branch with the alchemical puppet made of bones and metal.

"Ah, Master Harvey, I heard that you didn't evacuate here in winter?" The slightly bald spellcaster Donnie was the first to greet him.

Harvey smiled and nodded, "Yes, the evil orcs didn't cross the mountains this winter, it's really my luck."

Burco frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over the two people with a little disgust, and he walked past them without saying a word and prepared to enter the hall.

"Wait, Mr. Burco." Harvey shouted.

The examiner stopped and looked back, his expression becoming more and more impatient.

"Mr. Burko, I think you may have forgotten the incident of entering my manor to investigate before winter." Harvey didn't care at all. He took out a thin document from his arms and handed it to Donnie who was standing next to him.

"This is the complaint I submitted to the Federation." He explained lightly.

Donnie, who was slightly bald, was a little surprised. He smoothed the sparse hair hanging on his forehead and politely opened the document on the spot to read it.

"This... This is, you want to complain about Mr. Burko?" Donnie only glanced at it for a few times and looked at Burko with some embarrassment.

"Yes, I think this direct accusation without prior investigation has violated the Federation's regulations and caused me a reputational humiliation..."

He looked around at all the members of the Federation branch standing around, and his tone gradually became serious.

"And, if I remember correctly, when Mr. Burko came to investigate me, he did not show the relevant investigation permit, right?"

Everyone in the Federation was stunned when they heard this, and subconsciously looked at Burko who was standing at the door with a sullen face.

"No, it shouldn't be... I've never been involved in this investigation..." Downey, who was in charge of the audit of magic affairs, murmured. He knew in his heart that Burco was planning to act first and report later, but he still couldn't bear to expose his colleague in person.

"Maybe you don't know, just a week ago, about this investigation of magic experiments involving civilians... it was Mr. Jeffrey, the victim's family member that Mr. Burco believed."

Harvey paused and continued: "He actually conspired with a church deacon to invade my manor laboratory and tried to attack and kill me!"

He took out a magic stone and gently threw it into Downey's hand.

"This is Mr. Burco's investigation at home, as well as the clips of the day of the attack, and Mr. Jeffrey's own testimony."

The video clips were deliberately edited by Harvey, eliminating the scenes of Reiner and others' counterattack, leaving only the scenes of Stani and Jeffrey invading the laboratory and taking the lead in the sneak attack.

An elderly spellcaster standing next to Downey grabbed the magic stone and quickly activated it to cast a light and shadow picture.

Everyone looked at these blurred fragments with a serious face.

"The scum of the church! I knew that these hypocritical people who are kind on the surface are still eyeing us covetously behind our backs!"

Someone cursed in a low voice with gnashing teeth.

Although there are many factions and internal struggles within the Federation, when it comes to long-term conflicts and contradictions with the church, they will choose to unite and face the outside world.

Because everyone is a spellcaster, and they are all evil wizards who have been regarded as heretics and blasphemies by the church, and they should all be sent to the stake.

Especially in the management area of ​​Saint Valen where the Federation is weak, it can be said that every wizard family with a long history has members who have died at the hands of witch hunters in the church in the past.

This feud that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be easily erased by a short truce and peace talks.

Burko's face was ashen, and he looked at the people around him, all of whom looked at him with serious and complicated eyes.

"You... suspect that I have joined forces with the church and am suspected of attacking fellow spellcasters?" He almost gritted his teeth to say this.

The impatient old spellcaster stepped forward and said, "We don't want to make a direct judgment, Burko, but you need to explain to the top leaders of the Federation."

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one forum!

As he spoke, he raised his palm slightly, faintly stimulating the fluctuation of magical energy.

This is a combat mage who can cast spells instantly. When he was young, he had fought against the demons in the Evil Moon Mountains. He was rehired to his hometown of Saint Valen before he retired.

"I didn't conspire with the church! This is a slander against me!" Burco suppressed the trembling in his voice.

"You are going to attack me based on the testimony of a lowly necromancer before I was convicted, Mr. Joyce!"

The battle between spellcasters of the same level is often not about the power of spells, but the speed of spellcasting.

He is just a research-type spellcaster and can't beat Joyce, who used to be a combat mage.

"Watch your words, Burco Conrad, the Federation requires that no discrimination be made against spellcasters of any faction!"

The old mage did not relax his attention, but just signaled other colleagues with his eyes. Immediately, two people walked to Burco's side, forming a situation of implicitly attacking and coercing him.

"I want you to go to the headquarters and cooperate with the investigation."

The highest security purpose of the Federation is to never let go of any possible traitor.

Donnie stood beside Harvey, looking at Burko, who was left with a pale face by the crowd, and sighed with some regret.

"Mr. Burko, ruined by his prejudice and discrimination..."

"Master Harvey, the matter has not been concluded yet, so you don't need to follow us to Daeus to cooperate with the investigation."

The Federation did not set up an investigation headquarters in Saint Valen, and the nearest investigation agency was in the neighboring country of Daeus.

Harvey nodded in understanding. He did not expect that this level of accusation would directly convict Burko of the felony of betraying the Federation. At most, he would teach him a lesson and let him be transferred out of Jackdaw Town.

"More importantly, we must lodge a solemn protest with the church and ask them to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out those stubborn witch hunters of the God's Punishment Sect!"

Harvey found that there were already several spellcasters who were temporarily responsible for the negotiation. They did not even enter the branch gate, and walked directly to the church angrily.

Donnie patted Harvey on the shoulder and comforted him a little embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, once the matter is thoroughly investigated, the Federation will definitely compensate you for all the losses you have suffered in terms of reputation and personal integrity."
