Part Two The Human World Chapter Sixty-One Meeting
On the edge of the Diya Valley, at the foot of the Shadow Vortex Mountains, there is a small passage that leads directly to the mountain. There is a small room in the rock formation hundreds of meters thick in the mountain. It is a meditation room dedicated to the necromancers.
Vidnina walked out of the passage, raised her head to face the sunshine that had not been seen for more than a month, and took a deep breath.
This was her favorite action when she was still a human a long time ago. She felt the sunlight on her body, slowly melting on every inch of her delicate skin, bathing in the warmth of the light, and every pore
Touching herself and the life between heaven and earth. And whenever she does this action, her face and expression that are not inferior to the sun will definitely dazzle onlookers.
But now she only felt that the dried dead flesh attached to her skull was slowly deforming under the long-lost sunlight due to the temperature difference coming out of the ground, as if zombies of earthworms and maggots were resurrecting on her face.
.
A circle of black mist filled her body, and the dark magic power began to fluctuate around her body in a substantial form. Just after waking up from a month-long meditation, her magic power entered an unprecedented state.
The immortal body of the lich does not need rest, food or sleep. Such a body simply exists for power, magic and wisdom. She can even feel that her emotions and the instincts she once had as a creature are changing with the power.
The promotion is constantly weakening and disappearing.
Sometimes she wonders, what would happen if these things disappeared completely? Without basic desires and emotions, there would be no goal of consciousness, no thinking, and perhaps even self-existence would not matter.
But fortunately, those emotional imprints imprinted on the deepest part of her soul have not disappeared. She knows what she wants to do.
There were three figures standing not far from the exit. It seemed that they had been waiting here. Widnina walked over, and the three people also walked over.
The leading old man looked at Widnina up and down, nodded and praised in his desolate voice: "Dear Ms. Widnina, I never thought that your magic power has reached such a level. With time, you will definitely be able to approach greatness.
The height of Archibald.”
The Lich glanced at the three of them and replied calmly: "You are over-praising me, Master Aiden. But I don't think the three of you are just here to praise me. I am very busy and have very important things to do."
"The three of us want to ask you some questions today." A middle-aged man with a ferocious appearance next to him said in a very gentle tone.
"It must be a very important issue to work with three of them." Vidnina took a step back. She could feel that there were very strange magic fluctuations in these three companions.
"For you with such strength and wisdom, this question must be easy to answer." Master Aiden said lightly: "We remember that you won the last bet, and what you asked for was that we agreed to a new member.
Join. Now we would like to ask, what kind of person is the person you want to introduce to join our guild? Is he qualified enough to join our noble organization?"
"Absolutely qualified." Widnina took another step back and said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice. "He should be the most qualified person to join the Guild of the Dead."
"Why?" Master Aiden's old voice was still very indifferent, as if this was just a question that could be asked casually or not. But he and his two colleagues took a step forward and stood in a triangle to control the distance.
Denina is stuck in the middle.
"I have my own reasons." Vidnina did not retreat any further, and the black mist on her body began to thicken.
"Hahaha..." Master Aiden let out a burst of mist-like laughter. But the atmosphere did not relax because of this laughter. "Respectable Ms. Widnina. We do not doubt your incomparable wisdom and judgment.
.But regarding this matter, I think it is better for everyone to discuss it slowly... The newcomer you introduced just destroyed a huge operation jointly planned by all our members in the Whispering Forest. I think there is still a lot of trouble for this newcomer.
We need to think about it carefully. Out of respect for you, we plan to ask you to rest in a place..."
"What do you want to do?" Vidnina's voice became even worse, and the black mist on her body began to billow. "Do you want to take action? Fighting is never allowed in Diya Valley."
"Since the great Archibald founded the Necromancer Guild, there has never been a situation of civil strife among the Necromancers. Even if those who can join this noble organization do not have the same goals and ideas, they all have extraordinary wisdom and cultivation.
, how can you use violence to resolve disputes like those lowly and stupid people?" Master Aiden took out a jade that glowed white from his arms. "I said, we just ask you to take a rest."
The other two Necromancers also took out the same jade. The three jade stones emitted a soft and pure white light, which was pure white magic. Under the control of the three Necromancers, the three jade stones emitted a milky white color that reflected each other.
The magic wave surrounded Widnina.
"You are really willing to give up. Use three magic jade to activate the sealing technique of white magic." The black mist on Widnina's body has become as thick as ink, rolling and jumping around her body like little snakes.
Devouring the surrounding white light crazily. Her voice sounded like a direct curse from Duan. "But do you think it can be done with just the three of you? Don't forget that you are not proficient in white magic. Maybe I am not you.
There are three opponents, but it is not so easy to imprison me."
A sigh sounded not far behind her, and another wave of white magic mixed with these three to create a subtle resonance. The black ripples on her body were like flames under the ocean tide, and were suppressed in an instant.
"So it's you." Widnina turned around and saw the person behind her, and her voice suddenly became completely hoarse. "I didn't expect it was you. Do you think the same as they did?"
This man did not hold magic jade in his hand, but the white magic he released with his bare hands was the most powerful and honest, because he learned it under the guidance of the most formal light mage in the magic academy.
His handsome and graceful face now had a strange expression. He shook his head and looked at the Lich's face that was somewhere between a zombie and a skeleton. His eyes were full of tenderness, and he said in a somewhat distressed voice: "You
I'm still the same as before, too persistent, too impulsive, and too naive."
Soon after, the meeting of Diya Valley was held.
The conference room is not very big, and there is no trace of luxury or decoration at all. It looks like just an ordinary hall. The furnishings inside are simple and plain, and everything has a substantial use. There is no deliberate decoration or luxury here.
Meaningless.
It was already late at night, but the conference room was still as bright as day. A large piece of magic crystal inlaid on the ceiling spread soft and bright light evenly to every corner. The light was exactly like sunlight but not dazzling. A small piece of
This kind of thing is usually enough for many magicians to try their best to get it at any cost and make a very high-end wand, but here it is purely used for lighting.
In the center of the hall is a large and exquisite round table. It is very elegant in shape, and every line on it is exquisite and harmonious to the point of being called art. This is what a member long ago spent three years using.
It is carved from a piece of sandalwood that is unique in the mainland.
There are thirteen chairs around the round table, and nine of them are now occupied. This is the largest meeting of the Guild of the Dead in the past ten years, and everyone who can come has come.
In other places, some of them are wealthy dignitaries, some are sages respected by thousands of people, and some are penniless hermits. But here, all the vain fame and wealth in the world are not worth mentioning. They are all the greatest and noblest.
Member of the Guild of the Dead.
There is a huge crystal ball in the center of the round table. The image in the ball is a whispering forest of flying flames.
The circle of gargoyles in the sky was using the blood mist magic array to guide the sunlight and pour the focus of death onto the sunwell. Suddenly a huge flame ball rose from the ground, with a diameter that was almost half of the blood mist magic array. It seemed that
As soon as the very slow fireball came into contact with the magic circle, the image in the crystal ball was left with only a crazy and violent fiery red color. Although there was no sound, everyone sitting here seemed to feel a vague and huge sound.
shock.
A necromancer laughed, but only made a laugh like a cough. He pointed at the dimmed crystal ball and said: "A fireball has the same destructive power as a forbidden spell. I think we should all learn from apprentices."
Start re-learning the basic theories of magic."
"That's the gargoyle we carefully made..." A well-maintained middle-aged man held his chin, closed his eyes, and sighed. "Those spent magic materials and everyone's hard work, if converted into gold coins, would be enough
I bought a pretty big country."
Master Aiden opened his eyes, glanced at the others, and said lightly in his unique tone: "These are the images copied based on the memories of Inham and I. Everyone can deduce what is going on.
.”
"That person can resonate with the divine power of the Sun Well. He should be a person among the elves who has been baptized by the sun." A necromancer concluded. Others nodded. "But according to what you said, he is just a human.
But how humans can be baptized by the sun by those rigid and ignorant elves is a bit unbelievable."
Master Aiden continued: "Let me tell you some other news. After this incident happened, I immediately investigated and found out that the person wanted by the elves was a priest under old man Ronis. And some time ago, our
In a great drama designed by the respected Inham that was supposed to shock the entire Eastern Continent, this boy and another woman who ruined a World Tree leaf sprayed a vampire to death with her own blood. That is,
Said that he also has the vitality of the leaves of the world tree in his body."
"Why haven't I heard Inham mention this important matter?" The necromancers looked at the Marquis.
The Marquis smiled bitterly and replied: "Ronis was vague about the effect of the blessing spell afterwards. I was busy with other things at the time, so I didn't pay attention at all. I thought it was just the woman's blood that was working."
The ferocious-looking necromancer said: "Let's leave this aside. According to Inham, this kid lives with our respected former acting president Mr. Sandro at the Magic Academy. He can actually absorb sunlight.
From the perspective of baptism, we have reason to believe that he has learned the Meditation of Truth from Sandro. Judging from the character of the respected and noble acting president, this is indeed very possible."
There was silence in the hall. The necromancers stopped talking and sighing. Everything about this person surprised them, but if you add these things together, it would be far from being surprised, but shocked.
"His Excellency Archibald once said that one day, those who have gathered strength will pull up the dark star and completely change the world from the center. All along, people who practice true meditation have had,
The rituals of the elves are carried out from generation to generation, and it is said that the leaves of the World Tree have also shown power in the human world... These are actually not surprising." His voice, which had always been dull and desolate, finally became heavier. "But the important thing now is,
The Sun Well, the Leaves of the World Tree, and the Meditation of Truth, these three things are all in one person."
There was still silence in the hall. The necromancers each communicated with strange eyes.
Master Aiden's tone was a little weird, like a wry smile, or a disdainful sneer. "Theoretically, this person can indeed open the Dark Star. And if he really does, according to the
According to the rules set by Lord Archibald for us, we should surrender under this King of the Dead and follow him to conquer the world." Master Aiden's cold and hazy eyes have been looking at each member's eyes.
His expression was wandering. "I wonder what everyone thinks of this?"
Silence still occupied the hall. After a long time, the silence was broken by the cough of a necromancer. He coughed and said slowly: "Conquer the world? I think this boring and vulgar fact is not suitable for our group of noble and elegant people.
Do it.”
The well-maintained necromancer lowered his head, played with the ring in his hand with fingers that were more delicate and delicate than the girl, and murmured softly: "And I think the world is very good now, there is no need to go there.
What should we change? The key thing is..." He looked at his colleagues around him and showed a kind and confident smile. "This world no longer needs us to conquer."
The ferocious-looking Necromancer nodded in agreement. "There is no need for people to touch the Black Star. Even if it can be pulled out, what will be born may just be a monster that only knows destruction and destruction. It will not be of any benefit to us."
"I think so too..."
"right."
The necromancers slowly but obviously expressed their unanimous views one after another.
It was not until the last member expressed his attitude that Master Aiden finally showed a smile. He knew that a rule that existed in name only had now been completely and completely broken.
For every magician, Archibald, the magician who is said to be closest to God, is even more important than God. After all, he was once a living existence. Especially for the necromancers who learned the many necromancy spells he created.
In other words, one can even feel the greatness of this magician from the profound magic.
But no matter how great you are, there is a limit. Although his purpose in founding the Guild of the Dead may have been for the dark artifact, today, five hundred years later, the people gathered in Diya Valley are definitely not because of belief. Everyone here
Everyone is a top figure in human society, and no one wants to have someone who leads them appear inexplicably from some legend or myth.
Master Aiden nodded and said. "Although Archibald is great, his opinions must have his truth, and the power of the Black Star is also unparalleled." As soon as his voice fell, he spoke with ease and confidence.
Emphasis. "But the most important thing is that the world now belongs to us. We don't need any leaders."
"That's very well said. This should be included in the guild rules." One member applauded. Several other necromancers also nodded.
"And now this person is not only not our leader, but also our enemy. Everyone should know that Ronis has been active in his actions against us recently."
"Yes. This old man seems to be challenging the limit of our tolerance for him..."
"This person is the most important part of his actions. With the baptism of sunlight and the vitality of the leaves of the World Tree, it seems that he plans to use this person to destroy the Dark Star. Although we have no intention of asking people to open it, we will never
Will allow others to destroy it. That has been the spiritual symbol of our noble organization for hundreds of years." Master Aiden cleared his voice with force and said solemnly. "I invite everyone here today to discuss how to deal with these two enemies.
.One is Ronis, and the other is the boy with three powers."
"Kill them all. We can no longer remain silent. Since there are enemies targeting the organization, we should work together to act together."
"Old Ronis is probably our only enemy in this world. After killing him, we will feel a little lonely."
"But our respected former acting president Sandro is also with him. If the two of them join forces, it will be difficult for us."
Master Aiden interrupted the discussion of others and said: "Before discussing how to deal with foreign enemies, I would like to talk about other related issues first. Haven't you thought about it? The last leaf of the World Tree is in the Whispering Forest. I am in
You can feel it when you are in the Whispering Forest. And the princess must have eaten a piece. Our friend Inham can be sure that many people in the capital of the Ironfast Empire know about this. So what did that person eat?
Where did that World Tree leaf come from? The only explanation is... from Ms. Widnina."
"The time when the human boy received the baptism of sunlight was the same as the time when Widnina went to the Forest of Whispers. The leaves of the World Tree that Widnina had originally obtained inexplicably fell into the hands of that boy. Also, the previous paragraph
At that time, Ms. Widnina made a bet with a few of us because of the war in Eufu. Ms. Widnina won. Her bet was to introduce a new member to join. As a result, we found in the human boy
Got the teleportation scroll here..."
"You mean...Ms. Vidnina and Ronis colluded to let that person be a spy?" The well-maintained necromancer frowned with his carefully trimmed eyebrows, and talked with several other dead people.
The spirit mages shook their heads together. "This is impossible."
Master Ayden replied calmly: "I didn't say that. I just stated the facts. Whether it is the speculation you said or Vidnina really wanted that person to open the Dark Star, it has nothing to do with you.
benefit."
"Did Ms. Lich not attend such an important meeting? We need her to explain."
"Inham and I have asked her to rest in the meditation room for a while."
"It seems a bit too much." The coughing Necromancer struggled to squeeze out each word from his cough.
Master Aiden replied calmly: "Don't worry. I'm just doing this temporarily for everyone's benefit, to prevent her being impulsive from sabotaging our actions. After we finish dealing with Ronis and that kid, we will naturally ask
Ms. Lich came out. The top priority now is to intercept the boy who escaped with the leaves of the world tree, and to deal with Ronis at the same time. I suggest that the respected Asri and I investigate the boy's traces and kill him.
Let him retrieve the leaves of the World Tree. And you plan how to deal with Ronis."
When he and Asri walked out of the conference room, a smile appeared on Master Aiden's calm and indifferent face. He was very satisfied with his performance and methods.
After all these things, the guild probably needed to recommend a new acting president. He thought about it and smiled again.
