Chapter 414 Jiang Han's Reward
Chapter 414 Jiang Han's Reward
"How about we give him an honorary councilor position?" Han Ji suggested with a smile.
"This is a good suggestion. Although this kid only has high-level cultivation, if we add his monarch-level undead summon, his overall combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary super-level mage. I agree to make him an honorary councilor!" Zhu Meng agreed to Han Ji's suggestion without even thinking.
"Jiang Han's strength is beyond that of ordinary high-level mages; he is qualified to serve as an honorary councilor of the ancient capital," said Du Xiao Lie Wang.
Many people in the conference room knew that Jiang Han possessed a monarch-level undead summon beast. Furthermore, Jiang Han's performance during the undead calamity proved that he was qualified to serve as an honorary councilor of the ancient capital. Therefore, the proposal was passed almost unanimously, which made Mo Fan, who was sitting in the back row, extremely envious.
He had to beg and plead to get the benefits from Han Ji, while Jiang Han was directly promoted to honorary councilor of the ancient capital. Although he didn't have much power, he had plenty of resources, and he could get tens of millions of yuan in resource subsidies every year.
What might seem like a lot of resources to others is just normal consumption for cultivation to those high-level mages.
For a high-level mage, this is equivalent to two years of normal expenses, not including the purchase of high-quality magical tools. This is why Mo Fan is so envious.
As the meeting was about to end, a royal guard mage suddenly walked in and whispered a few words in Lu Huan's ear, and Lu Huan's face immediately darkened.
Han Ji noticed that Lu Huan's mood was off and asked, "What happened?"
"Elder Lingxi, who was under guard, has been taken away. The person who took him away died in the corridor of the bell tower, and Grand Steward Mu He, who was also imprisoned, is dead as well," Lu Huan said.
"What? Elder Lingxi has been taken away? What about Vice Judge Qi Min?" a high-ranking mage from the Inquisition asked.
"While Vice Judge Qi Min is still being held in custody, Salang's identity has now been fully revealed as Elder Lingxi."
"I have already arranged for someone to remove Vice Judge Qi Min from surveillance. The person who let Salang go this time was one of my men, and I have an inescapable responsibility," Lu Huan said in self-criticism.
"This isn't your fault. If cardinals of the Black Vatican were so easy to catch, they would have been apprehended overseas long ago," Han Ji said, shaking his head.
When he led the super-level mages out of the city and to the corpses on the mountain, he guessed that Salang might escape. As for the super-level mages who were left behind, they were mainly to prevent Salang from destroying the array's key points after he escaped. Therefore, Han Ji was not very angry when he heard that Salang had escaped.
It wasn't that Han Ji didn't hate Salang, but he knew that no one who could become a cardinal was simple. If they were that simple, why haven't any cardinals been caught abroad yet?
After the meeting, Jiang Han stayed in the ancient capital to study various materials about the necromancy system. This battle made Jiang Han realize the shortcomings in his use of the necromancy system, and the ancient capital has a large amount of ancient materials about the necromancy system.
Mo Fan was assigned by Han Ji to cultivate at Mount Hua. As for Zhang Xiaohou, He Yu, and the others, they returned to the Guard District with Chief Instructor Feijiao. Liu Ru returned to Shanghai ahead of time.
While Jiang Han was researching various necromancy magic data, the ancient capital entered a busy reconstruction period. During this time, the number of undead wandering outside the city decreased significantly, and it was almost impossible to encounter any general-level undead. This surprised many of the major forces in the ancient capital.
If they knew that the undead weren't asleep, but were going to the Abyss of Fiends for elite training, they'd probably be so scared they'd pack their bags and leave the ancient capital overnight.
The ancient capital is famous throughout China for its undead. If the undead were to completely disappear from the ancient capital, many of the 'industries' derived from the undead would vanish, and even the ancient capital's economy would decline. This is why Jiang Han did not arrange for all the undead to train in the Sha Yuan Space.
All undead of warrior level and above have been gathered in the Abyss of Fiends by the Eight Great Kings of Death, with only a few places remaining with warrior-level undead.
The undead wandering outside the city are generally servant-level beings. Undead of this level do not threaten the safety of the ancient capital and will even promote the development of the undead industry in the ancient capital.
Everything in the ancient capital was proceeding in an orderly manner. Humans lived peacefully within the city, while low-level undead resided in their respective tombs, and high-level undead were sent by Jiang Han to the Abyss of Evil for training.
······
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the ancient capital is greeted by a heavy snowfall, after which comes early spring.
"The Spring Festival is almost here. It's time to go to Songcheng to prepare for the holiday," Jiang Han said as he walked out of the Ancient Capital Museum, looking at the beautiful snow scene outside.
During his time cultivating in the ancient capital, Jiang Han's necromancy improved significantly. Not only did he reach the high-level bottleneck in his cultivation, but he also mastered a necromancy domain called "Asura Purgatory." Within this domain, the strength of his undead creatures could be increased by 20%, and he could also transform creatures into undead.
