Sword God in a World of Magic

The two of them waited for another two hours. During that time, it was mostly the Town Lord talking and Shang listening.

Shang wasn't the best contributor when it came to conversations.

Eventually, enough time passed that the two of them could leave without any suspicions.

The isolation barrier was deactivated, and the two of them left the room.

The two of them walked towards the entrance of the town, but they were also talking with the powerful people of the town.

Shang was officially the Town Lord now, and he had to introduce himself.

There were two other Archmages in the town, but they would both leave with the previous Town Lord.

This meant that Shang's town was only made up of High Mages and weaker.

In a way, it was just like a Kingdom in Area 23, but with one small difference.

The Zone Beasts weren't peaceful.

What would an Area 23 with aggressive Zone Beasts look like?

Bad.

Now, it was Shang's task to deal with any beast that couldn't be handled by his employees.

Even if an Ancestral Beast attacked.

Of course, Shang wasn't the first person in the world that owned a town while not being in the Ancestral Mage Realm. There had been predecessors, and they had found solutions.

"Sir," one of the Archmages that would leave soon contacted Shang. "Some of my friends are living here. I just want to know how you plan to defend the town from Ancestral Beasts?"

"He's been accepted by our Security Agency," the old Town Lord answered.

The Archmage was quite surprised. "Really? But you said they are very particular about their clients. So many people want to have a contract with them, but they only accept very few people."

"I know, right?" the old Town Lord answered with a smile. "I was also surprised when I contacted them. They just listened for a while, talked with him, and then accepted him."

The other Archmage sighed in relief. "That's good."
