The Rise of the Cemetery

(Thanks to Maple Leaf Grass and Eternal? Night for their support!)

The Kingdom of Brayland, the tower with seven rings.

Although it was approaching late autumn, under the combined effect of the three-dimensional defense circle, the Seven Ring Tower and the surrounding ten miles were still sunny and warm.

Time seems to have stopped here, and it is always the most pleasant spring all year round.

The turmoil in the distant continent seems to be happening in another world, and it will never disturb the daily life of the guild mages. Every morning, when the sparse flow of people appeared in the square under the White Tower, those industrious arcane servants and magic puppets had already cleaned all the roads, and the clean roads could even reflect clear figures !

Low-level mages in twos and threes walked quickly through the square, followed closely by the arcane servants behind them, holding thick books and volumes as tall as a person in their two thick metal arms. In this sacred place of human mages, it is rare to see mage apprentices, and only official mages recognized by the guild can walk freely here.

Mages have always been extremely lazy and procrastinating professionals. Without the services of many servants, they may not even be able to make a simple breakfast. Therefore, the more high-end mages, the more they are separated from these low-level labors that have no meaning for their magic research, magic experiments, and star sea exploration.

Most of the time, high-end mages are entrusted with magic puppets to perform messy tasks such as washing, eating, and making beds, while small tasks such as tidying up magic laboratories, preparing magic materials, or activating magic materials in advance are all entrusted to low-level mages. mage.

Therefore, most of the low-level mages who were able to rush to the White Tower early in the morning had a part-time job with a high-level mage or a master, and they needed to hurry before these "employers" entered the magic laboratory. Get everything ready.

However, every guild mage who walks past the White Tower Square, no matter how hurried they are, will habitually look up at the upper layer of the White Tower inserted high into the clouds. There is the core place of the entire mage guild, and it is also the place where all guild mages are eager to set foot.

There, above the high clouds, at the top of the White Tower overlooking the entire Seven Ring Tower, all the legendary mages are sitting leisurely on the throne of magic, discussing and discussing what happened in the mainland. Big events around every corner. And every conclusion they make will be conveyed through the huge body of the Mage Guild, and then rule and manage the entire world with a speed and strength that the world admires.

There is the brain of the mage guild, there is also the heart of the mage guild, there is the world of legendary mages, and it is the fantasy kingdom of all human mages!

For a while, the continent was not peaceful.

The infestation of underground organisms in the major countries has not yet been resolved, and nasty insect plagues broke out in the distant continent. It is said that the former elf kingdom has now been forced to migrate to avoid disaster!

But all these disturbances did not affect the lives of the mages in the slightest.

As official mages in the guild, they can hide in this paradise supported by legendary mages. No matter how violent the external turmoil is, no matter how violent the storm is, it will not affect their step-by-step life. Even the fall of a large human kingdom, or even the fall of the land of the elves, cannot shake their ingrained daily life.

The library needs to be soaked, magic experiments need to be continued, spell casting skills need to be sharpened, and spell knowledge needs to be accumulated... There are countless new things waiting for them every day, and they are also very busy. The most direct feeling brought to them by the turmoil in the outside world is that the price of magic materials is rising rapidly, and some magic materials produced near the turbulent country are out of stock.

This made them complain a lot, and they all hoped that the turmoil would pass soon.

This is probably the only feeling that the turmoil that harassed the entire plane brought to the guild mages!

…………

Due to the extremely drastic changes in the plane structure recently, the frequency of Seven Ring Meetings is also increasing.

However, holding two consecutive meetings within three days is still a rare exception.

Two days ago, the legendary mages had just gathered together to discuss the immortality magic experiment conducted by the forces of the Great Cemetery. Before they could reach a specific conclusion, another major event happened in the church in the south.

The Justice Church, one of the dignified "Three Gods", was brutally killed by the Zerg demigod to its lair. It is said that not only the holy city of Samara, the holy city of the Justice Church, was turned into ruins, but even the Great Temple of Dimes, which was guarded by the god of justice, also suffered a catastrophe.

For this reason, the Mage Guild specially dispatched a number of big masters to the south to infiltrate the territory of the Justice Church to investigate the changes in the situation there. Could it be that those big guys brought back some important information from the teacher? Otherwise, is there any reason to convene the highest level Seven Rings Conference again?

Grandmaster Nirris suspected suspiciously.

This is the No. 3 high-altitude teleportation platform in the Luye District, and it is also the teleportation platform closest to the venue of the Seventh Ring Road, so he is inevitably a little excited when he is on duty today.

Most of those legendary mages have the magic authority to go directly to the seven-ring venue, so they don't need to transfer through the teleportation here, but the five newly returned legendary liches do. Thinking that he might meet five frightening liches in the legend, Niris couldn't help but tremble.

He had already heard about what these old monsters did. These are a group of ruthless characters who personally destroyed a large human country!

After personally inspecting the teleportation circle, Niris looked back at the five mid-level and high-level mages who were on duty with him today. For some reason, he always felt that these subordinates who had followed him for many years were a little strange today. Not only did they lose their former vigor and vitality, but they seemed a little lifeless.

While he was hesitating, Link, the 14th-level mage with the highest middle rank among the five subordinates, suddenly smiled at him, stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Master Niris, I want to discuss something with you!"

Sure enough, something happened!

Niris couldn't help but snorted coldly: "If there is anything to say until the end of today's rotation, you guys must..."

The atmosphere in the arena changed suddenly before Niris Dalu finished his words about going to the teacher.

It was like a well-coordinated rehearsal, and everything that happened next time made him unable to believe his eyes.

The 5 subordinates of different middle and high ranks suddenly had violent force field distortions on their bodies. With the shattering of their appearance, the 5 subordinates finally revealed their true colors.

Purple skin covered with slippery mucus, rubber-like tough and soft body, creepy milky white pupils, squirming tentacles, and the signature octopus head...

Mind flayers, this is a group of mind flayers in disguise!

It's a pity that his consciousness can only stay at this moment. When his eyes were covered by the terrifying eyes of the mind flayer in the head, a phantom floated out from the shadow under the mind flayer, and it only appeared in the air less than one-tenth of his fingertips. Submerged into the body of the master Qu Shi.

And with the arrival of the shadow, the magical force field around the master of the Dao Qu was instantly shattered. This time, the mind flayer's mind-stealing gaze finally penetrated Neris' mind without any cover.

The magic incantation that came to his mouth was swallowed again, and the magic equipment on his body that was activated when he thought it was also fluoresced. Except for the magic force field triggered by the solidification of the magic robe on his body, which was broken by one blow, the rest of the magic wave All subsided.

The legendary mind flayer elder stared at Dao Qushi with his eyes, and met his four eyes, while chanting words in his mouth. The powerful psychic powers controlled his body and mind the moment his magic force field shattered.

Don't look at this as a short battle between the legendary mind flayer and the human giant, but if the plan is not good, the follow-up actions may be greatly disturbed.

With the ability of the legendary mind flayer, it is as easy as pie to kill a human master. But if you want to control the opponent unscathed, it's hard to beat the sky.

Don't forget, where is this place?

This is the core place of the entire mage guild!

Near the high-altitude teleportation platform where they are located, there are two or three rune stones moving along the mysterious and mysterious orbit. These are all part of the three-dimensional defense and warning mechanism of the seven-ring tower. Once abnormal magic fluctuations and magic alarms appear near the seven-ring tower, I am afraid that everything that happens here will be captured by the tower spirit in the next moment.

At that time, their follow-up plan to kill the legendary Lich came to naught, and it was unknown whether they could escape from the Seven Ring Tower smoothly.

The rotating masters like this all have magic items that can communicate with the tower spirits. In a crisis, only a short magic code is needed to attract the attention of the tower spirits. Therefore, in order to capture this human master, the six legends actually shot at the same time, taking down the opponent with an unprecedented tacit understanding.

Yes, 6 legends, not 5!

5 Legendary Mind Flayers plus 1 Shadowlord Knox.

A mind flayer elder was in charge of attracting the attention of the master, and Knox was responsible for breaking the chain accident spell solidified on the master with the fastest physical attack. And the other mind flayer elder was responsible for eliminating the abnormal fluctuations that might occur when the two attacked. The remaining three mind flayer elders are responsible for propping up a huge illusion barrier to deceive the omnipresent and powerful perception of the tower and tower spirit.

However, this kind of phantom enchantment cannot last long, otherwise it will not be able to get a response for a long time, and it will still attract the attention of the tower and tower spirit here.

The main reason why it is treated so seriously is that the solidified chain accident technique on high-end mages is too annoying.

As a high-end mage, in order to protect his own life, he would immobilize some teleportation, defense or cracking trigger spells on himself to the greatest extent. When the self is attacked or the mind is controlled by the charm, the chain accident will activate these spells one by one according to the pre-set order.

Therefore, many human masters seem to have no defense at all, but when you stab them with a knife, you will find that the opponent suddenly disappears. Then two or three times later, a big man dressed all over his body and blessed with all the magic protection would open the portal with a grinning grin and return to the scene.

So if you want to deal with a high-end mage, you must first break the damn chain accident.

Fortunately, they have made a clear investigation before coming here. The chain accident technique solidified on this master of Niris is not a teleportation type, but a defensive type. That's why he specially arranged for a shadow master with super lethality in a short period of time to break through his defense. And when a human master loses his magic protection, his mind is vulnerable to a legendary mind flayer elder!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he was inside the Seven Rings Tower and did not bless himself with any protective spells.
