Their teacher was one of the most famous legendary wizards in the Mifata Federation, Master Mill.
This master was known as the "Sage of Life and Death" and had a deep understanding of spells related to life and death. However, he had always been a "living being". Although he had some knowledge about Necromancy spells, he had never actively turned the living into Undead.
The fact that Tu Ya 'an had become a Necromancer had already made Master Mill unhappy. Tu Ya' an was too embarrassed to stay in Mill City, so he built his own magic tower far away from the city.
As the oldest disciple under Master Mill and the mayor of Mill City for many years, the eldest disciple could be said to be the leader of the Mill School of Thought. If he were to betray his teacher's teachings and turn into an Undead for the sake of survival, then Master Mill would lose all his face, and he would not be able to raise his head in front of other legendary wizards in the future.
"I've had it for long enough," the eldest disciple said. "It would be good if I could find a way to extend my life. However, since I can't, I can only forget about it. There are some things that cannot be done. "
Tu Ya 'an did not continue to persuade him, so he could only laugh bitterly and use a secret technique to inform his sister to send some snacks over to resolve this awkward situation.
Tessa had already known about the guests when they arrived, but she did not like the rather old-fashioned eldest disciple, so she did not intend to meet him. Now that she received her brother's message, she frowned a few times, but she still prepared some snacks and personally sent them over.
Of course, she did not make these snacks herself. Instead, she bought them from a stall on the street.
Although she was rich, Tessa did not care about the price when she ate. She only cared about the taste. The snacks from that stall tasted good and suited her taste, so she bought a lot of them and stored them with magic. It was very convenient for her to take some whenever she wanted to eat.
Speaking of which, her current lifestyle was very lazy. Every day, she would either read books or eat snacks. Or she would lie on the bed and watch entertainment programs projected by magic — commonly known as movies — while eating snacks. Occasionally, she would go to the theater to watch a performance and eat a big meal. This was considered strenuous exercise.
This kind of life was like raising a pig. If it were someone else, they would have raised a round and lazy little pig, but Tessa's body was made by Sui Xiong with divine power, so she would not get fat at all. No matter how much high-calorie food she ate, no matter how much she lacked exercise, she could always maintain a good figure. If it was spread out, those noble ladies who worked hard to lose weight would really envy them.
However, physical problems were easy to solve, but mental problems were not. The long-term decadent pig-like lifestyle made Tessa seem lazy all day. Other than changing into all kinds of new clothes for her brother to see, she really didn't have the energy to do anything. She was just short of finding a soft cushion to lie on and say, "I'm almost a useless cat."
When she pushed a small dining cart with a few plates of various pastries and a bag of specially made medicinal tea, Easter was still indifferent, but the Eldest Senior Brother widened his eyes in surprise.
He did not delve into necromancy, but as the eldest disciple of Master Mi Er and having some friendship with Tu Ya 'an, he naturally had a keen eye for necromancy. Hence, he could tell at a glance that Tessa was no longer in the half-dead state she used to be, but had become a real living person.
A living person with a complete life, one who would grow old and die normally!
"How … how did this happen?" he asked in surprise.
Tu Ya 'an naturally understood what he meant, and smiled as he explained Tessa's situation.
When he learned that Tessa's current body was personally made by the great True God, His Majesty Void Mask, the Eldest Senior Brother also felt relieved. It was indeed not surprising that a god could do such a thing.
Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh again.
Easter, who had been watching coldly from the side, had a slight smile in his eyes as he seized this opportunity.
"Mage Hailar (Eldest Senior Brother's surname), I wonder if you have considered changing your sect?"
Turlo Hailar was stunned for a moment and looked at Easter doubtfully.
This Legendary Master of unknown origins had been silent all this while, and from Tu Ya 'an's attitude towards him, he should be one of the higher-ups of the Republic of Northwest. It was just that he was not familiar with Tu Ya' an. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal — as a necromancer, Tu Ya 'an rarely went out to meet guests, so it was reasonable that he did not have any friends. If he had a lot of friends, it would be very strange instead.
But why would he suddenly say such a thing?
After a moment of silence, the old mage, who could almost see the God of Death waving at him, asked hesitantly, "What … do you mean by that?"
"Our Majesty has always been keen on collecting talents, and for this, he has never been stingy with his rewards," Easter said. "Both Tu Ya 'an and I have received his grace, and that's why we have such a beautiful life now. If you are willing to serve under him, I'm sure you will also be able to get what you want. "
The Eldest Senior Brother naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and was suddenly a little hesitant.
He thought for a moment, and said hesitantly, "I am a follower of His Majesty the Master of Mystery …"
"His Majesty the Master of Mystery can't even protect himself now. Are you sure he still has the strength to protect his followers?" Easter did not give the Master of Mystery any face, and said straightforwardly, "If you live for another two or three hundred years, you may be able to witness his fall!"
The Eldest Senior Brother laughed bitterly and said, "But teacher is a follower of His Majesty the Master of Mystery, and so am I. We in Mill City have always been hardcore followers of His Majesty the Master of Mystery. His doctrine has long been integrated into our lives, and has become an indispensable part of us. Even if I want to change my allegiance, I can't convince myself to change my beliefs. "
This was a huge problem. Belief was not as simple as "who I am willing to believe in", but more importantly, "whose doctrine do I think is reasonable". For a mage like the Eldest Senior Brother who had lived for hundreds of years, his outlook on life, the world, and values had long been completely fixed. As he himself said, even if he wanted to change his allegiance, it was impossible.
However, Easter was not disappointed or angry because of this. Instead, he laughed and said, "Yes, you can't change your beliefs like this, but you can change the political orientation of Mill City, can't you?"
The Eldest Senior Brother was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant.
What Easter wanted was not the Eldest Senior Brother, who was a high-level mage, but him, who was the Lord of Mill City. In other words, what he wanted was Mill City.
If the Eldest Senior Brother wanted to get benefits from Sui Xiong, his only choice was to push Mill City to change its allegiance. Even if he did not openly break away from the Mifata Federation, he would have to play the edge between the Republic of Northwest and the Mifata Federation.
This was not a trivial matter. Even with his prestige and status, if he wanted to push this matter to succeed, it would take a lot of time and energy, and a lot of political costs.
This old man, who had been the Lord of Mill City for many years, could not help but hesitate.
He could afford the price, but … was it really worth it?
