Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

Chapter 568: Lao Lu, do you want the Core of the Earth?
"You say." Shao Zheng said.

"First, the Magic Association can send people to assist and supervise and report at any time, but they cannot interfere with my decision." Xu Fang said.

He has no intention of being a dictator or a local tyrant, but he must hold the necessary power in his own hands.

The kind of nobody who comes out of nowhere can tell me what to do... This kind of thing must never happen!

"Okay." Shao Zheng agreed readily.

"Secondly, since it is a logistical support, various industries, especially the existing magic industry, must be moved here, and the transportation network must be built as soon as possible." Xu Fang said.

"That's as it should be." Shao Zheng said, "We plan to make some coastal cities into fortress cities, which will be under the unified jurisdiction of the military, and the companies and factories in them will be moved to the Dongting Lake Plain."

"Third, defensive strength."

Xu Fang had no intention of being polite to Shao Zheng and stretched out his third finger.

"The magic power in Jinlin City has always been weak, and a super-class magic group has not yet been formed. There is no ability to resist external risks.

And as a base city, we need a forbidden spell mage to take charge!"

If Shao Zheng had no reaction to the first sentence, the second sentence made his expression serious.

It’s not that there aren’t forbidden spell mages, but they are too few.

The sea monsters were watching with eager eyes, and if possible, Shao Zheng would like to send them all to the coastline!
Xu Fang didn't say anything and just ate there.

There were very few forbidden spells, and he certainly knew that. Even the Mu family, the number one clan in China, only had two people who knew forbidden spells.

In the Magic Association system, Pang Lai, the chief of the Forbidden Court, is only a semi-forbidden spell.

China is famous for ice and fire, but in the later period, Hua Zhanhong, as the leader of the national defense army, did not have a ready-made fire ban spell under his command.

Looking across the country, there are only a few dozen forbidden spell casters registered with the Forbidden Spell Society!
Even in the ancient capital, a city that has been accompanied by the undead for thousands of years, the strongest person is only a super-level cultivator!
It sounded a bit unreasonable to ask for a forbidden spell wizard to be stationed there right away.

But Xu Fang still mentioned that although the Dongting Lake Base City is inland, it is also connected to the sea by the surging Yangtze River.

The sea gods are not fools. What if they go upstream to launch a surprise attack from the rear? Wouldn’t they be doomed without forbidden spells to guard against them?
"I will select suitable candidates from the Forbidden Spell Society." Shao Zheng asked, "Are there any other requirements?"

"I don't have a request, but I do have a suggestion." Xu Fang said, "I want to apply for an Earth Core, with earth attribute."

······
Jinlin City.

North Suburb Park.

"Iron claws tear the sky apart, bloody mouths devour the light of the sun and moon. Who can bear the purgatory on earth? The lives are suffering and heartbroken!"

Lu Yi lay on the recliner, humming an opera:

"The demons retreat, the dawn appears, and the magician's power shakes the nine heavens. The world returns to peace, and the people sing and celebrate the good harvest. The flag of justice is flying high, and the light of magic will flow forever~~~~~!"

While singing a little tune and basking in the sun, Lu Yi felt his eyelids getting a little heavy.

I simply covered my face with the palm-leaf fan and took a nap. Soon I heard a slight snoring sound coming from under the fan.

"Grandma, come and eat."

Chen Ying took off her apron and walked out of the house.

"Are you asleep again?" Chen Ying gently patted the back of Lu Yi's hand: "Grandma, grandma, the food is cold."

"Hmm? Oh..." Lu Yi shook his dazed head and stood up.

"Other elderly people sleep less, but you do the opposite." Chen Ying said.

"If I have nothing to do, why not just go to sleep?" Lu Yi yawned.

"Why don't you go to the park and hang out with those old men and women? If not, I'll sign you up with Sunset Red Travel Agency."

"No, no, don't worry about it."

Chen Ying felt a little helpless. Ever since returning from the Holy City a few days ago, Lu Yi had been looking listless.

It's like tasting a long-missed delicacy, and before you can savor it carefully, the cup and plate are empty, which makes you feel very anxious.

"How about we go talk to General Xu and ask him to give you a position?" Chen Ying asked.

"There's no need. That kid has a forbidden spell wizard behind him. Why would he need an old woman like me?" Lu Yi said stubbornly.

"That's right, I won't fight anymore." Chen Ying, an honest child, said straightforwardly. Lu Yi was a little anxious: "Why... or should I fight one? I don't want to lose my position, but I just want to hear what the boy has to say."

Jingle Bell!
The cell phone that Lu Yi had placed on the table rang, and the note was Xu Fang.

"It's General Xu's call." Chen Ying was about to answer the call, but Lu Yi stopped her: "Don't answer it yet."

"how?"

"Wait a moment, let the bell ring twice." Lu Yi said.

Chen Ying was speechless and could only watch her grandmother wait like a child for the ringtone to finish singing the first time, and then answer the call when it was about to be disconnected.

"Hey?"

"Lao Lu, congratulations on getting rich!"

Lu Yi: "??? Did you dial the wrong number?"

"That's right." Xu Fang said with a smile, "I'm asking you, do you want the Core of the Earth? If you want it, just open your mouth and I'll give it to you."

Lu Yi smiled.

This brat is trying to make fun of me, an old man?
"Then send it over."

"Okay, wait, I'll talk when I return home."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi was still a little dazed holding the phone.

This kid wouldn't really... That shouldn't be possible!
The next day, everything was calm and nothing happened.

On the third day, apart from a few attentive old men who came to deliver home-cooked meals, no one else came to visit.

Fourth day.

"Madam! Why haven't you gotten up yet when the sun is so high?" Xu Fang shouted from outside the house, "Can you get enough sleep at your age?"

"What are you shouting about? Are you cursing the mountain gate?"

Lu Yi's wrinkled face still showed resentment of being forced to get up: "What's the matter?"

"Here's this." Xu Fang threw something over casually. Lu Yi's sleepy eyes widened instantly after he saw what it was!
"A sin!"

The soft updraft lifted the thing into the air.

"The core of the earth!?" Lu Yi stared at the litmus, then looked at Xu Fang.

"correct."

"···Give me?"

"of course."

Lu Yi was stunned.

She knew best how precious the Core of the Earth was, especially in China. Rather than creating forbidden spell wizards, the country was more inclined to build defensive barriers for cities.

"This Earth Core was specially approved by Chairman Shao Zheng. It has been registered with the Forbidden Spell Society. You can choose to accept it or not."

Xu Fang said seriously: "If you don't accept it, just pretend that this incident never happened and live your life as you wish.

If you accept, your retirement life will end here. Dongting Lake Base City needs a forbidden spell wizard to take charge.

And I can tell you that in the future, the Dongting Lake Base City will definitely be targeted by the Kraken, and the danger of battle mages will be no less than that of the coastal areas!"

Lu Yi looked at the core of the earth in front of him, and a smile appeared on his old face.

"You are only a young man in your twenties... I am worried about putting such a heavy burden on you. You can leave, you stay."

Xu Fang also smiled.

"Leave? I won't leave. A Forbidden Spell Master breaking through is such a rare sight. I must stay and see more of it!"

"Hahaha, then you can stay!"

Lu Yi's hunched back straightened a little at this moment: "Today, I will let you, a young man, know what your aunt is still your aunt! Prepare more crocodile wine, as a celebration drink for me!"
