Chapter 759: Chapter 434: No Worries About Selling the Grown Vegetables_3

But if the adults asked, dare he not answer?

“Because some people use living beings for various reincarnation and sacrificial experiments, some use living beings as sacrifices, and some slaughter the living to make the scent of death stronger, making sacrifices and reincarnations easier,” the Necromancer replied.

“So that’s the case, have you ever heard of the Reincarnation Altar?” Durken suddenly asked.

The Necromancer showed a puzzled expression and shook his head.

After asking some more questions, to which the Necromancer obediently answered, Durken finally asked, “What should be the punishment for violating the Council’s ban?”

Everyone immediately fell silent, looking at each other in bewilderment, at a loss for what to do.

...

Only the Necromancer was ashen-faced, tremulously replying, “To… to be killed.”

Durken nodded, “Then let’s kill, for the child who fell victim to your curse.”

Ange nodded, and Little Zombie hopped over, landing a punch.

After executing the Necromancer, Negris shifted his attention to the body on the stone platform: “At the risk of defying the Council’s ban, you still want to sacrifice and resurrect him. You talk about some crucial time, what critical time?”

The others were so scared that their legs went weak, stuttering and unable to speak. The Necromancer had cooperated and still got killed. Would they get killed too once they had answered the questions?

But they couldn’t not answer either, for the Undead could make life worse than death. After trembling for a while, someone finally said shakily:

“The Northern Wind Clan of Northern Wind City intends to leave the city as a whole and is planning to sell the City Lord’s position. Our Ryan Clan wants to bid for it, but unexpectedly, our Clan Leader suddenly died of heart failure. If we can’t resurrect the Clan Leader within ten days, we will lose the qualification to bid for the City Lord’s position.”

Negris was surprised, “Bidding? Oh, right, positions like the City Lord and Mayor here can be bought and sold, but isn’t Northern Wind City a principal city directly under the Empire? Can the City Lord’s position be sold too?”

You’re from the Council, don’t you know? Everyone gave him a strange look but had to answer:

“That’s why we need to resurrect the Clan Leader. Only the clans recognized by the city are eligible to bid for the City Lord’s position. Only these major clans are capable of resolving the city’s problems in a short time.”

Negris finally seemed to understand the series of events: “The Northern Wind Clan is fleeing, intending to sell their City Lord’s position. Only major clans can handle issues like food, security, and order in the city, so this has limited the competition. However, your Clan Leader died at an inconvenient time, and in order to meet the bidding deadline, you’re risking the ban and using the forbidden Undead Sacrifice to resurrect your Clan Leader, is that correct?”

Everyone nodded.

Negris laughed out loud: “Did you ever think the Necromancer you hired might be very amateur?”

The other party replied with a bitter smile: “What could we do even if we knew? It’s already hard to find someone who dares to break the ban for something that’s prohibited, let alone worry about his abilities.”

This was indeed a problem. Powerful Necromancers probably wouldn’t break the Council of the Undead’s ban for a single clan in a remote city.

As he was about to ask something else, Silver Coin suddenly clapped his hands, realizing: “I understand now, the road was blocked, probably by some clan who wants to bid for the City Lord’s position. They want to force a lower price and stage a palace coup.”

After speaking, Silver Coin turned to Ange and said, “My Lord, shall we bid as well? The profit is massive. We put in a little cost, and we can earn a city. We won’t have to worry about selling our crops in the future.”
