The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 312: And You

So Mage Fang Ka instructed Wangzai Little Buns and Swinging in the Wind to release Selder and Riel.

Once released, the two of them let out a sigh of relief and immediately expressed their gratitude to Fang Ka.

Mage Fang Ka promptly replied, "From now on, as long as you serve me diligently, everything will be fine. There’s no need for all these formalities."

"I will now teach you the Dark Element magic. From now on, practise diligently on this island. When you succeed in casting the Dark Element magic I’ve taught you, I’ll arrange the next steps for you."

"Additionally, I will send someone to this island later to bring you potions. At that time, you will drink the potions separately. Every six months after that, I will send someone to deliver another potion."

"As long as you drink it on time each time, there will be no issues."

Mage Fang Ka did not directly tell them it was an alchemy poison.

Because after they drank it, they would naturally come to realize it.

Furthermore, maintaining a certain level of mystery and ambiguity could also instill fear and dread in them.

Upon hearing Mage Fang Ka’s words, both Selder and Riel’s expressions changed slightly.

However, they said nothing, knowing that they had no other choice now but to comply with Fang Ka’s orders.

They understood clearly that not following Fang Ka’s orders left them with only one outcome—death.

They had deeply experienced the power under Fang Ka’s command earlier.

They had no chance to escape, let alone fight.

Seeing the two of them obediently complying, Fang Ka said nothing further, then instructed them to approach the Sub-Magic Array of the Sound of Cyan Wood, and began imparting Dark Magic to the two of them, urging them to practice diligently.

After imparting the Dark Magic to them, Fang Ka did not say much more and simply gave them some instructions.

He told them to keep the three top-level mages in check, and once they awoke, to also teach them the Dark Element magic and have them practice as well.

If they refused to listen, then eliminate them.

And when the potions are sent, those three top-level mages will also drink a bottle each.

He believed that the two would handle this well since they had fallen to such a state and certainly wouldn’t let others be better off than they were.

It’s a common human trait to not worry about scarcity, but about inequality. This is always the most honest reflection of the human psyche.

It’s not so terrible for a person to be unlucky; what’s terrible is when only one person is unlucky. If there is someone even unluckier than oneself, one would perceive oneself not only as not unlucky but even fortunate, because they are not the unluckiest.

Fang Ka understood this too well.

Upon hearing Fang Ka’s instructions, Selder and Riel immediately nodded in agreement, then turned their attention to the three unconscious top-tier mages.

These three top-tier mages were originally their subordinates, so managing them was simply effortless.

Having reached such a situation, it was natural for them not to let these subordinates have a better life than theirs.

Otherwise, it would be unbearably distressing for them.

On Fang Ka’s side, he instructed Wangzai Little Buns briefly and then settled the task rewards.

After settling the rewards, Fang Ka disconnected the communication and began to ponder something.

It was about what kind of manager should be assigned to the territories occupied by Selder and Riel.

To be honest, the territory occupied by Selder and Riel was quite far from Fang Ka’s current sphere of influence.

Even just traveling from the westernmost Southern Beastman Island to the territory occupied by Selder and Riel was much farther than the distance from the Southern Beastman Island to the Underground City.

Given this situation, Fang Ka felt it necessary to choose a highly capable individual as the manager.

Otherwise, if any issues arose and Fang Ka had to send people to resolve them, it would be quite troublesome.

After a brief contemplation, he used the Array of the Sound of Cyan Wood to contact Sadek.

Once connected with Sadek, he immediately spoke up, "Sadek, I have a matter to entrust to you."

Hearing Fang Ka’s words, Sadek curiously inquired, "Lord Fang Ka, what is it that you wish to entrust to me? Please feel free to command, and I will ensure it is done."

Upon hearing Sadek’s response, Fang Ka smiled with satisfaction and then said, "Sadek, to be honest, among the territories under my command, you are the most satisfactory and promising manager."

"Although the other managers are also quite good, they cannot compare to you."

Upon hearing Fang Ka’s praise and assessment, Sadek was overwhelmed with excitement and quickly said humbly, "Lord Fang Ka, you overpraise me. I have merely done my duty."

"I am really not worthy of such praise from you."

Hearing Sadek’s humble words, Fang Ka immediately replied, "I’m just stating the truth, not offering praise. There’s no need for modesty. Your abilities speak for themselves, and I have seen what you do."

"Facts are facts, and there’s no need to deny them."

"The current order and stability of the Merfolk Islands is inseparable from you."

Upon hearing Fang Ka say this, Sadek stopped being modest and quickly asked, "Lord Fang Ka, you’re right. What is it that you want to entrust me with?"

Fang Ka briefly gathered his thoughts and then said, "It has something to do with the new territory I’ve seized."

Hearing Fang Ka’s words, Sadek was slightly taken aback; how much time had passed? It seemed Lord Fang Ka had seized yet another territory.

The efficiency was truly astounding.

He felt even more admiration for Fang Ka.

Curiously, he inquired, "Mage Fang Ka, it has something to do with the territory you’ve seized? What is this about?"

Hearing the inquiry, Fang Ka immediately replied, "The new domain I’ve seized is quite large, even larger than the Merfolk Islands."

Sadek was greatly astonished upon hearing this.

Before he could speak, Fang Ka continued, "Therefore, that area needs a highly capable manager."

"And you, Sadek, aside from you, I can’t think of anyone better suited, so I’ve decided for you to find a replacement at the Merfolk Islands to continue managing it."
