Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 9: Bad news before winter comes
Early in the morning, Pastor Dolor, who had just finished presiding over the morning prayer, walked out of the church gate.
"God bless you, Pastor Dolor, good morning."
The old pastor smiled and looked at the townspeople who came to pray one after another, nodding and greeting them.
He turned his head inadvertently and found that a familiar figure was walking slowly on the street outside the church and was about to turn the corner.
It was the necromancer, Harvey Floyd, who was wearing a narrow-brimmed soft hat, a loose white cotton shirt and black dress pants.
Beside him was a tall figure covered in a gray robe, a hood and a mask on his face.
The old pastor frowned and was about to turn around and return to the church.
Another young pastor beside him also saw this scene, sneered and turned his head to Dolor.
"Heh, now even necromancers can swagger on the street in the daytime."
He raised his hand and pointed at the gray-robed figure following Harvey, and added angrily.
"You dare to bring a corpse puppet with you? Really..."
"That's not an ordinary corpse puppet. When have you ever seen a corpse puppet that's over two meters tall?" Dolor whispered, "That's probably a stitched corpse monster."
The young pastor was stunned when he heard that, staring at the two figures that disappeared at the corner of the street, and snorted coldly.
"What a blasphemy!"
...
As soon as he turned the corner, Reiner couldn't help but pinch the corner of his robe tightly, and said to Harvey stealthily with his head down.
"My lord, how did I behave? The group of priests didn't react at all."
Harvey loosened the collar of his shirt and laughed softly, "They probably thought you were a corpse. After all, it's unlikely that someone is alive when they are with a necromancer."
He paused and added, "But you still have to be careful. Don't talk in front of people, don't let people find out that you have the same mind as a living person."
Reiner followed with a low chuckle, "I understand, my lord. When there are people around, I am quieter than a dead person."
"Sometimes the dead are not quiet..."
The two took advantage of the sparse pedestrians on the street in the early morning, talking and laughing in low voices all the way, and walked to a two-story street-facing house made of gray bricks.
A large metal sign was hung on the door of the street-facing house.
The branch of the Spellcaster Union in Jackdaw Town.
Having moved to Jackdaw Town for more than half a year, Harvey has only been to the town twice, and each time he came to the branch of the Union to do business.
The first time was the necessary registration procedures when he just moved in. Because of the sensitive identity of the necromancer, he was made difficult and delayed by the staff.
Later, he tried to buy some relatively discounted experimental materials and magic books through the Union's channels, but was told that only intermediate and above spellcasters had this preferential privilege.
Today, he came here because the Union monopolized the sale of the magic stone, so he had to go through this channel to buy it.
On the other hand, he actually took Reiner out for a stroll, letting him get in touch with the outside world and maintain his humanity and stabilize his soul.
Even if he couldn't buy cheap and high-quality magic stones, he could get him a batch from Alayeh through Ash's relationship.
As soon as he entered the branch building, a young clerk in a light black robe took the initiative to come forward and greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Mage, please show your ID before entering the branch."
Harvey took out a button-sized silver badge from his shirt pocket, engraved with a skull logo representing the identity of a necromancer.
The clerk glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth, which maintained a formal smile, froze for a moment, and then glanced at Reiner who was following Harvey with a scrutinizing eye.
"The puppets of the necromancer cannot enter the branch." As soon as the clerk finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Harvey shook his head nonchalantly, signaled Reiner to wait at the door, and walked to the counter in the branch hall.
"Hello, I want to purchase a batch of magic stones." Harvey took out a blank bill of exchange and his identity badge.
Thanks to the financial institutions such as banks in this world, Harvey does not have to carry heavy gold and silver coins every time he makes a large transaction.
The clerk sitting at the front desk of the hall is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. He wears the emblem of the Federation on his chest, and the pure black magic robe of the Federation, with silver rings representing the level of primary spellcasters embroidered on the cuffs.
He raised his head from the pile of documents, and casually brushed up a wisp of sparse hair hanging on the side of his ear, and put it back on his head, as if it could play a perfect covering role.
"Magic stone? Elemental stone or charging stone?" Mr. Slightly Bald asked coldly.
"Energy stone, preferably of intermediate quality." Harvey pushed the identity badge on the counter forward and replied with a smile.
Mr. Slightly Bald looked sideways and handed the badge back to Harvey without any reaction, his tone still cold.
"The branch still has stock, 10, intermediate quality, 50 gold pounds each, no discount for junior mages."
Harvey was also stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses, took the bill book, quickly filled in the payment amount, and then stamped it with the badge.
Slightly Bald took the bill, said lightly "wait a moment", and turned to leave the counter to pick up the goods.
Harvey leaned against the counter and looked around the branch hall, only to find that the entire first floor was empty. Not only was there only one receptionist at the door, but even the clerk at the counter was the only clerk, Mr. Slightly Bald Mage.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
"What's going on? Could it be that the Jackdaw Town branch has some urgent mission to carry out?" Harvey muttered to himself in confusion.
As far as he knows, there are only less than ten spellcasters in the entire Jackdaw Town, and there are only six staff members in the Federation branch, including the intermediate mage Burko who came to the door for review.
The staff of these six unionists are non-combat types and are research-based spellcasters, and are unlikely to be assigned tasks.
While Harvey was alone, the sound of footsteps of someone going downstairs on the second floor of the hall came from the wooden stairs.
"Mr. Burco." Harvey greeted with a grudgeless smile.
Bulco paused, subconsciously prepared to turn around to respond, and suddenly realized that it was Harvey who was greeting him. He quickly turned around and walked away with the suitcase without saying a word.
"Strange, where is he going in a hurry?" Harvey murmured in a low voice, but he was still heard by the returning Weiba Mage.
"Bulco is going to Grizzlies Castle. He is the first spellcaster to be responsible for evacuating and leading the team." Weiba said in a faint tone, and handed the small box in his hand to Harvey.
Harvey took the box and opened it, and there were ten crystal blue magic stones in neatly arranged inside, of intermediate quality.
"Evacuate? The Federation wants to remove the Jackdaw Town branch?"
"How could it be? I'm talking about the evacuation of the entire Jackdaw Town residents this winter..."
Harvey nodded, preparing to leave after talking to Weiba for a few more words, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
He raised his head suddenly and asked dryly: "What you said just now is that the entire Jackdaw Town will evacuate its residents this winter?"
Wei Bu shrugged and felt helpless, "There is no way, the war in the Evil Moon Mountains is tense, and most of the combat mages are sent to the front line. Jackdaw Town has no more personnel this year to defend against those evil orcs who cross the border and rob in winter. .”
It seemed as if he was talking too much, he raised his hand and pointed to the newspaper shelf on the side of the hall.
"I posted a notice half a year ago and I will return to town when the winter is over."
Harvey quickly walked to the public notice board next to the newspaper shelf, and after a rough scan, he found that he had posted a notice of evacuation when he first moved to the town half a year ago.
I think that the notice board in the town, the mayor's office, and the security patrol side have long been announced to all the townspeople.
"Don't I know it alone?" Harvey had no choice but to cover his face, but there was no reason to complain. After all, after he moved in, he stayed in seclusion and almost never dealt with the outside world.
Reiner should know, but Reiner probably thought Harvey knew too, so in the end, only Harvey didn't know.
What Harvey is most worried about now is that if he follows the entire Jackdaw Town to evacuate.
What should I do if my magic server was built just now for a huge amount of money?
If the evil orcs enter the town, they will not even let go of the iron urinal under the groom's bed.
They have always been extremely lacking in metal making weapons.
