21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 126 Mingyue Society

chen yu naturally wouldn't take kojo kyoko's loyalty at face value based on her mere words.

although kojo kyoko's loyalty might indeed be sincere, even samurai who were willing to die for their lord during the warring states period could betray their sworn oaths; verbal loyalty had no tangible binding force. if it did, there would not be so many betrayals and usurpations.

for a necromancer, the only truly trustworthy things were his own spells and the dead.

when tsuchimikado yoshiharu and kyuuzai ryousen received the inheritance chen yu offered, he had already marked them with restriction spells. the promotion ceremony further integrated these spells into their souls, instinctively preventing any thoughts of betrayal.

for a necromancer who specializes in souls, integrating a restriction spell into the soul and making it an inseparable part is merely a basic operation.

regarding kojo kyoko, chen yu gave her the choice to leave, out of respect for her own will. if she truly chose to leave, chen yu really wouldn't kill her; he would simply erase some of her memories.

however, kojo kyoko chose to continue serving chen yu.

in response to kojo kyoko's choice, chen yu, without being pretentious or spouting something like "i trust your character," proceeded to imprint her with a restriction spell.nôv(el)b\\jnn

he didn't just transform her into a dark warrior using the power of the ritual altar; he also directly assisted her to reach expert level, transitioning from a common dark warrior to a special profession called moonshadow dancer, which according to the "multiverse universal necromancy spell compendium," could only be taken up by female dark warriors.

for a necromancer, the moon is a very important entity. although anyone with basic geographical knowledge knows the moon is merely a satellite composed of rock, reflecting only the sun's light, that is strictly a scientific perspective. in the worlds of mystery and magic, the moon's significance often far exceeds the sun's.

"yes, my lord!" the three immediately bowed and responded.

"ryosen-kun, give this to your father and have him produce healing potions according to the contents of this booklet. the production requires the assistance of transcendental forces; make sure you handle that," chen yu said, sitting in the car kyuuzai ryosen had arranged to take him home, as he handed over a neatly organized booklet to kyuuzai ryosen.

previously, chen yu had asked kyuuzai pharmaceuticals to produce healing potions. due to the lack of magical intervention, the result was only a simplified version for regular human consumption and not the complete version intended for transcendent beings. the booklet provided by chen yu now detailed how to enhance potion production with the aid of magic.

after all, the formula for the "universal minor healing potion for the undead" that chen yu had given out was a magic potion, impossible to create without the magic's assistance.

the simplified version, however, was a non-magical variant chen yu had developed for regular human use while treating inomata naoki. as a large pharmaceutical enterprise, kyuuzai pharmaceuticals naturally faced no issues in this regard.

"i understand, i will take care of this matter," kyuuzai ryosen took the booklet and carefully stored it away. having attained the status of a crow feather mage, kyuuzai ryosen also experienced a transformation in both power and physical form. he was still somewhat unaccustomed to his newfound strength, which made him appear somewhat constrained and stiff.

chen yu didn't mind this and continued speaking to kyuuzai ryosen, "you can tell your father about the mingyue society; there's no issue if he decides to join. the mingyue society needs not only the power of transcendents but also a solid base of influence among ordinary people. so, once your father joins, have him identify suitable candidates to also join the society."

"please rest assured, my lord. my father has many friends in the business world and also knows a few members of the national diet. he will not disappoint you," said kyuuzai ryosen, a hint of joy on his face.

if he could involve his father in the mingyue society, the kyuuzai family would secure their place within the society, further cementing kyuuzai's secular power, which was undoubtedly great news for their family.
