Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"Extradition Chief, aren't you coming with me?" Blue Bat suddenly turned his head and looked at the woman in hemp clothing with a sinister gaze.

Yan Qiu's expression remained unchanged: "I need to stay at the base camp and protect Lord Salang's assets until she returns."

"You bastard! How dare you say that!"

Blue Bat flew into a rage: "If you hadn't failed in your work and left behind clues, how could the teacher have been targeted by the Chinese!"

"Blue Bat, don't go around biting anyone like a mad dog!" Yan Qiu sneered. "Besides, with your strength, you're no match for me!"

"You bastard!"

Anger distorted the blue bat's expression.

"Fine, then I'll go myself! I'll go find the teacher myself. Only she can lead the Holy Church, while you all can just stay in this godforsaken place and rot!"

This journey is like a bird soaring into the blue sky or a fish entering the vast ocean, free from all constraints!

······

The door to the secret chamber at the Tower of the Wizards in Dubai has opened once more.

The brutal killing of Salang did not add any more ferocity to Xu Fang; on the contrary, he felt refreshed.

"After a thorough investigation and verification by this association, it has been determined that all charges against Xu Fang are unfounded, and we now recommend that he be released in court immediately."

"The jury has no objection."

"Resolution passed!"

As soon as Xu Fang stepped out of the dock, he was surrounded by a large group of smiling politicians who were talking about trivial "escalating issues."

After finally managing to deal with them, Shao Zheng, who had stayed behind, asked with a smile, "How were you feeling?"

"This is a bit troublesome," Xu Fang said helplessly.

"That's how politics is. Both sides know they're talking nonsense, but they tacitly waste time together..." Shao Zheng sighed.

"Leave these matters to you, Grand Speaker."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a councilor now, too early... It's getting late, let's find somewhere to get something to eat?"

"As long as it's not a formal dinner party, it's fine."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xu Fang originally thought Shao Zheng would take him to some gourmet private restaurant, but the car stopped in front of a buffet restaurant instead.

"Speaker, you like buffets?" Xu Fang looked at the restaurant's entrance.

“Yes, I like to have it all,” Shao Zheng said with a smile. “Come in, it’s on me.”

It was getting late, and there were no streetlights on either side of the road, but instead, some kind of unknown torches were lit.

Even with the wind blowing, the flames did not shift, still casting their orange-red light onto the path.

The buffet is quite expensive; it would cost over 700 yuan in Chinese currency.

Since it was a buffet, there was no need to be polite. The two found a table in a corner, with food piled high in front of them.

“We had a small meeting and approved the establishment of the Dongting Lake Base City, with Jinlin as the core, including eighteen cities such as Biyi, Yunlan, and Zijing. You will serve as a councilor.”

Shao Zheng spun the fork a few times, then rolled up a local type of noodle whose name he didn't know:

"The core function of the Dongting Lake base city is to safeguard the national coastline, including various supplies such as weapons, money and food, and animal training."

In war, the battle often revolves around support and supplies.

"So, the Dongting Lake base city is positioned as the core driving force of the war machine, right?" Xu Fang asked.

“That’s right.” Shao Zheng nodded: “The five base cities, namely the capital, the magic city, and the bird city, are evenly distributed along the coastal coastline, serving as both a sword and a shield in war.”

This is a turbulent time.

Taking on this responsibility brings far more pressure and responsibility than any reward.

“I agree.” Xu Fang readily agreed, “However, I have a few requests that you must grant.”

Chapter 568 Old Lu, do you want the Earth Core?

“Go ahead,” Shao Zheng said.

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

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

That kind of random cat or dog that pops out of nowhere and tries to boss me around... that kind of thing absolutely cannot happen!

“Okay,” Shao Zheng readily agreed.

“Secondly, since it serves as logistical support, all kinds of industries, especially the existing magic industry, must be relocated here, and the transportation network must be established as soon as possible,” Xu Fang said.

“That’s the right thing to do,” Shao Zheng said. “We plan to designate some coastal cities as fortress cities, under the unified jurisdiction of the military, and the enterprises and factories there will be relocated to the Dongting Lake Plain.”

"Third, defensive capabilities."

Xu Fang showed no intention of being polite to Shao Zheng and extended his third finger.

"The mage force in Jinlin City has always been weak. The super-rank mage group has not yet been established, and the city has no ability to resist external risks."

Furthermore, as a base city, we need forbidden spellcasters to oversee it!

If Shao Zheng didn't react much to the first sentence, the second sentence made his expression serious.

Forbidden spellcasters do exist, but they are extremely rare.

The sirens were watching them intently, and if possible, Shao Zheng would love to send them all to the coastline!

Xu Fang didn't say anything and ate by himself.

He knew that forbidden spells were rare; even the Mu clan, the number one clan in China, only possessed two forbidden spells.

Within the Magic Association system, even Pang Lai, the chief priest of the Forbidden Palace, is only a semi-forbidden spell.

China is famous throughout the world for its ice and fire, but later, Hua Zhanhong, as the leader of the Zhenguo Army, did not have a single person under his command who possessed a fire-forbidden spell.

Nationwide, there are only a few dozen people registered with the Anti-Curse Association who are skilled in curses!

Even in this ancient capital, a city that has been accompanied by the dead for thousands of years, the strongest person is only a fully-trained cultivator at the Super-Rank level!

The idea that one should demand the presence of a forbidden sorcerer sounds somewhat unreasonable.

However, Xu Fang still mentioned that although the Dongting Lake base city is inland, it is also connected to the sea by the mighty Yangtze River.

The Ocean Gods aren't fools. If they were to sail upstream and launch a surprise attack on our rear, wouldn't we be doomed without the protection of forbidden spells?

“I will select suitable candidates from the Forbidden Spells Association,” Shao Zheng asked. “Are there any other requirements?”

"I don't have any requirements, but I do have a suggestion," Xu Fang said. "I would like to apply for an Earth Core, one with the earth attribute."

······

Jinlin City.

North Suburb Park.

"Iron claws tear the sky apart, bloody maws devour the sun and moon. Who can bear this hell on earth? The suffering of living beings is unbearable!"

Lü Yi lay on the recliner, humming a traditional opera tune:

"Demons retreat, dawn breaks, the magician's might shakes the heavens. Peace returns to the world, people sing songs of joy for a bountiful year. The banner of justice flies high, the light of magic flows eternally!"

Singing a little tune and basking in the sun, Lü Yi felt her eyelids getting heavy.

I simply covered my face with the palm-leaf fan and took a nap. Before long, I could hear a soft snoring sound coming from under the fan.

"Grandma, dinner's ready."

Chenying took off her apron and came out of the house.

"Sleeping again?" Chen Ying gently patted Lü Yi's hand: "Grandma, Grandma, the food is getting cold."

"Huh? Oh..." Lü Yi stood up, her head still a little dazed.

“Other elderly people sleep less, but you’re the opposite,” Chen Ying said.

"If there's nothing to do, then I'll just sleep," Lü Yi yawned.

"Why don't you go to the park and hang out with those elderly folks? Or, if that doesn't work, I can sign you up for a senior citizen tour?"

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

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

It's like tasting a long-awaited delicacy, only to have it all gone before you can savor it properly, leaving you wanting more.

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

"No need, that kid has forbidden spell masters behind him, why would he need an old hag like me?" Lu Yi retorted stubbornly.

“That’s true, let’s not fight anymore,” said the honest Chen Ying.

Lu Yi immediately became a little anxious: "What... how about we call him? It's not that we want any official position, we just want to hear what that kid has to say."

Jingle Bell!

Lu Yi's cell phone, which was on the table, rang. The contact name was Xu Fang.

"It's Xu Junjiang on the phone." Chen Ying was about to answer when Lü Yi stopped her, saying, "Don't answer it yet."

"how?"

"Wait a moment, let the bell ring twice before we talk," Lü Yi said.

Chenying was speechless and could only watch as her grandmother waited like a child until the ringtone finished its first melody and was about to cut off before answering the phone.

"Hey?"

"Old Lu, congratulations on making a fortune!"

Lü Yi: "??? You've dialed the wrong number, haven't you?"

“I didn’t make a mistake.” Xu Fang laughed. “I’m asking you, do you want the Earth’s Essence? If you do, just say the word and I’ll send it to you.”

Lü Yi smiled.

Is this brat joking with an old man like me?
