Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

On the city wall, Casper glanced at it a few times before subtly averting his gaze:

"President, you're back."

Aldrick also saw the restrictions on Casper's body; the patterns were similar to the structure on his own body.

"Let's go back to the association first."

The two crossed the street and entered the gates of the Alchemist Guild headquarters.

In the hall, the alchemists all showed expressions of surprise and delight upon seeing Aldrick.

The president is back, so they have someone to rely on!

However, upon seeing the black restrictive runes on his body, some people's eyes dimmed.

Even the president couldn't escape that devil?!

Aldrick naturally noticed the change in their expressions and couldn't help but sigh softly.

They went up to the second floor and entered a conference room at the back, the door closing behind them.

Casper didn't sit down. Instead, he walked to the window, opened it a crack, and then walked back to the conference table, sitting down opposite Aldrick.

Aldrick has just been resurrected and has a lot of questions, so Casper picked out some to answer.

After he spoke, he first mentioned some aspects that had already been improved.

The situation in the entire alchemy world is relatively stable, and major cities have resumed daily life and production.

In some severely affected areas, supplies are being restored, cleanup in various urban areas is basically complete, the wounded are receiving treatment, and the external defense lines are being rebuilt.

Casper paused for a moment, then shifted the topic to a more distant situation:

"President, as you have probably seen, the world situation has changed dramatically."

"There are two other continents connected to us. Most of the land is already adjacent to each other, and the rest are separated only by a strait."

Casper also briefly mentioned the general topography and population distribution of the two newly contiguous continents.

One area is an industrial world dominated by goblins, while the other is inhabited by humans, orcs, elves, and dwarves.

Stable trade routes have been established between different ethnic groups, and goods and people are constantly flowing, but cultural exchanges have only just begun, and most contact remains superficial.

After saying that, he added:

"The technology in that goblin world is very special; their equipment can function without any alchemy or supernatural energy."

"Our artisans are trying to learn their techniques. Progress is slow, but they are already seeing results."

Aldrick leaned back in his chair: "Anything else?"

Casper carefully considered his words: "And then there's their faith. They worship a being called the Supreme God, who is said to be the predecessor of that wizard."

"That person also gave us a task, requiring us to promote the development of the faith in the Supreme God in the Alchemy World."

"Now the Goblin Continent, the Origin Continent, and the Alchemy Continent have all been incorporated into the Supreme God's belief system. While we were clearing the ruins, we had already arranged for people to start building temples."

Aldrick remained silent for a few moments:

"I already know about this. The so-called supreme god is the world will of this realm, and also an avatar of 'that one'."

"It's fine for alchemists to believe in it; on the contrary, it can increase their connection with the world and allow them to better control the rules."

"I will push this forward in my capacity as president of the Alchemy Association, which will at least help to stabilize the situation."

Casper nodded knowingly: "Then we will follow your arrangements."

He had initially been somewhat dismissive of the idea of ​​worshipping a so-called "supreme god," since powerful alchemists had never worshipped any so-called "gods."

After hearing what Aldrick said, Casper also changed his mind and prepared to change the mind of the other alchemists as well.

They do not believe in gods, but in the will of the world and the rules of the world.

It is of great benefit to the development of alchemy.

Thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.

Meanwhile, several other alchemy masters arrived one after another after learning of the chairman's news.

Some flew directly from the city wall, while others rushed back from other cities. They entered the conference room in a hurry, their faces filled with excitement.

Their expressions changed noticeably when they saw Aldrick.

Some people visibly breathed a sigh of relief, while others, seeing the restrictions on his body, paused for a moment before continuing to walk.

More and more people sat down on both sides of the conference table, and the conference room gradually became crowded.

Once they were seated, the conversation quickly turned to what they were really concerned about—the restrictions.

Everyone present was dressed in black runes, which looked particularly strange.

Moreover, wearing these runes made them feel like they were wearing shackles, which made them feel very awkward.

Casper glanced at the markings on the other alchemists' bodies and spoke first: "Master, you've also been affected by those restrictions."

Aldrick nodded: "Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me. The restrictions are more complicated than yours."

An alchemist sitting by the window leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, asking, "Is there any way to untie it?"

As he spoke, he took out several sheets of rune paper, which were covered with densely packed patterns of energy nodes.

"I've tried several methods, including externally addressing the nodes and internally cutting off the energy paths, but none of them worked."

"Each attempt triggers some kind of feedback, causing the power to temporarily disappear."

Another person nearby chimed in, "I've tried it too. The power disappeared as soon as I touched the first node, and it took a long time to recover."

"It's useless for us to try to break each other's defenses; those restrictions are simply untouchable."

Casper also described his situation: "My patterns are denser than theirs, but I can sense the arrangement of those nodes."

"They are interconnected, and each node has a specific activation method. External intervention will trigger the reaction of other nodes."

After he finished speaking, he posed the question to Aldrick: "President, what's your opinion?"

Aldrick sat in the main seat and listened to them finish explaining their situations before saying, "Don't waste your energy."

He paused for a moment: "This new world we live in is a small world controlled by 'that person,' and we are monitored at all times."

"Even if you manage to break the restriction by chance, you can't escape under the nose of a rule maker; on the contrary, it will arouse their dissatisfaction."

"Not only will your power continue to be suppressed, but you may also lose your current freedom. Just stay put and pretend that this restriction doesn't exist."

"Live the same way you did before, and continue living in this world. Maybe you can even take advantage of the rules of this world to reach a higher level."

The meeting room fell silent.

The alchemy masters looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The president... voted?

Is he leading the "throwing" of the big brother?
