Chapter 464 121. Skeleton Peasant
"'What I want is justice,' he said, and I felt like I saw a fool."
The necromancers took the freed scarred man away Back at the mansion, everyone was laughing, except for the scarred man, who kept silent and repeatedly whispered the phrase "power means corruption, absolute power means absolute corruption, and the law is the weapon that restricts power."
"I have never seen such a city lord. Those nobles only use the law to make money and commit atrocities." The female necromancer who looked like Peanut had fallen into Annan's magic network and fancied: "Maybe it's Really, he wants us to be farmers.”
“Let the necromancer farm?” a necromancer said angrily.
"Why not? The skeleton is tireless and endless. It can move as long as it provides a small amount of magic power." Henry still stood on Annan's side.
After all, that box of gold coins actually exists.
“I thought we would have a bright future!”
“Maybe... just temporarily...”
The necromancer stood beside the scarred man: "I'll go with you!"
Then one after another more necromancers stood on the opposite side, and in the end only seven people, including Henry, did not move - the only two female necromancers all stayed.
This sense of gap really cannot be solved. Everyone shouts about the Necromancer, but he is still a formidable spellcaster. There is no difference between asking a spellcaster to become a farmer and insulting him for being a mudblood.
Annan did not stop the necromancers from leaving, because half of them chose to stay.
Annan can finally implement the first step of the "magic revolution" he imagined.
And facing the pressure from the Druid side.
The good news is that no trace of the druid has been found near Gem Bay. The bad news is that Gem City will be known to the druids sooner or later. The second good news is that Annan and the druid get along quite happily, maybe they will Understand yourself. The second bad news is that the druids in Middle-earth may not know the druids in the north.
Annan's response was to ask the residents to plant more trees in the east. He also planted several birch saplings with his own hands, and asked carpenters to build dozens of small tree houses and place them in the forest where tree elves roamed. In the mountains.
The necromancers took a bath and changed into clean robes, but there were no lice. This is one of the few advantages of negative magic - the necromancer will never be bitten by mosquitoes, but at the cost of always being followed by crows.
Then a new problem emerges: a moral dilemma.
How to solve the problem of necromancers defiling the dead and disturbing the rest of the souls?
If you are unlucky, you might even be labeled as an evil territory.
However, the Tatooine Empire will not put too much pressure on them. After all, they regard bones as their beauty and are still a "barbaric" empire in the eyes of the southern countries.
Annan once heard a saying: There are two most beautiful and exquisite things in the Tatooine Empire, one is the Montreal Mountain and the other is the bones.
Let Losey, who serves as a guard, call the necromancer, Della, Eli Rubble, and the old orc over. Annan and the necromancers start a discussion: What race of bones should be used as skeleton farmers? ?
“I’ll exclude humans first. Gem City’s position must be neutral, and turning human corpses into skeletons will scare the people of Gem City.”
The mad dog lord in the north is at war, and it's easy to get the body...but no one wants the body to be in peace after death.
The necromancers were a little regretful, especially Henry. He spent the night thinking about how to use skeletons to farm. If it were used by other races, it would be greatly compromised. After all, farm tools were invented by humans for themselves.
But after all, the Necromancer sitting here is either kind or orderly.
“Then we have to ban spells like ‘Manipulate Dead Corpse’ and ‘Resurrection Corpse’ that play with corpses.”
It sounds good to let corpses that still have flesh and blood work and fertilize at the same time... But it is so chaotic and evil that the devil will say hell is empty when he sees it.
Gem City has no shortage of this fertilizer.
Still everyone agrees, because no necromancer wants to be with rottenness all day long. Annan continued: "Next we have to choose between orcs, elves, dwarves and ratmen."
Ely Gravel said that dwarves would go crazy if they saw the corpses of their kind being played with. Yes, the elves are probably the same.
Annan was doubtful and used the leaves of the world tree to ask the elf mentor while Della watched intently: "If a necromancer turned a dead elf into an undead... what would you do?"
< br>
"Till death."
"Then...what if the person who did this is your good friend?"
"You did this?"
"Just curious... …"
"A hundred years ago, a fallen elf did this to the corpse of an elf elder in the Holy Land. Later, he and his clan were expelled from the high elves."
"Okay... are you still in the Imperial Capital?"
"We are going to set off in three days."
"Pay attention to safety on the road."
Collapse of World Tree Ye, Annan shook his head: "Let's exclude orcs, elves and dwarves."
"No need for orcs." The old orc said at this time.
After all, even the orcs themselves collect orc bones and heads.
But Annan still ruled out the orcs. The manipulated skeletons usually inherit part of their abilities in life. Although orc skeletons can kill human soldiers with one blow, farming and harvesting are not their strengths.
So which race has a naturally rickety back, and will not be criticized if it turns into a skeleton?
Annan asked Eli Rubble to make a trip: "Tell the merchant ship that in the future, the trade with Earl Ulmit will include the purchase of rat bones."
Rat skeleton, Liande Rui couldn't say anything.
The necromancers buried all the piles of bones and rotten flesh they brought with them in the cemetery of Gem City, and Annan also summoned all the residents to announce the skeleton farmers' decision to give them a buffer in advance.
As a result, the residents still protested: they shouted why they were not allowed to turn into skeletons, which made the necromancer and the new residents stupid.
Annan had no choice but to let residents voluntarily apply to become skeleton farmers after death, but they were only allowed for one year. Once the time was up, they had to be forcibly sent to the cemetery to rest.
This will satisfy the residents who came from Xingyue Bay.
Gem City is gradually getting on the right track, and Ingrid suggested that Annan should learn how to be a good city lord.
What does the real city lord look like?
Annan thought hard and first thought of beautiful maids and groups of noble ladies.
It must be admitted that a city lord like Annan, who only has one servant in his family and never enters or leaves the lady's manor at night, is simply an ascetic monk among the nobles.
Then there is chaos in private life. It is normal for some big shots to wake up early in the morning with the wife of a certain nobleman lying on his bed. The private lives of the nobles are as chaotic as the rat-man genealogy... As long as Annan releases the news, those ladies who are eager to eat him alive will probably make Gem City The tourism industry is booming instantly.
