Dust of History Chapter 61: meeting

On the edge of Diya Valley, at the foot of a mountain in the Shadowswirl Mountains, there is a small passage leading directly to the mountainside. There is a small room in the hundreds of meters thick rock formation on the mountainside, which is a special meditation room for 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 in feeling.

This was one of her favorite moves when she was human long ago. Feeling the sunshine on my body, every inch of my delicate skin slowly melted away, bathed in the warmth of the light, every pore touched the vitality between myself and the world. And whenever she does this action, her face, which is not inferior to the sun, and the expression on it will definitely dazzle the onlookers.

But now she can only feel that the dry dead flesh attached to her skull is slowly deformed under the long-lost sunlight due to the temperature difference from the ground, as if zombies with earthworms and maggots are lying on her face. on recovery. .

There was a circle of black mist around her, and the dark magic power had already begun to fluctuate around her body in a substantial form. Just waking up from a month-long meditation, her magical power has entered an unprecedented level. The undead body of a lich does not need to rest, eat or sleep. Such a body simply exists for power, magic and wisdom. She could even feel that her feelings and instincts as a creature were constantly weakening and disappearing as her strength increased.

Sometimes she wonders, what if these things disappeared altogether? Without basic desires and emotions, there is no conscious goal, no ability to think, and maybe even self-existence does not matter.

But fortunately, those emotional imprints imprinted in the deepest part of the soul have not disappeared yet. She knows what she has to do.

There are three figures standing not far from the exit, it seems that they have been waiting here. Vidnina walked over, and the three of them also walked over.

The headed old man looked at Vidnina up and down, nodded and praised in his desolate voice: "Dear Ms. Vidnina, I never thought that your magic power has reached such a level. In time, you will definitely can approach the height of the great Archibald."

The Lich glanced at the three of them, and replied lightly: "You are too praised, Master Aiden. But I don't think the three of you came to me just to praise me. I am very busy and have important things to do To do."

"The three of us want to ask you some questions today." A grim-looking middle-aged man next to him said in a very gentle tone.

"It must be a very important issue to work the three masters." Vidnina took a step back, and she could feel the strange magic fluctuations on the three companions.

"For you who possess 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 we asked for was that we agree to a The joining of new members. Now we would like to ask, what kind of person do you want to introduce to join our guild? Are you qualified enough to join our noble organization?"

"Absolutely qualified." Vidnina took a step back and said in a hoarse voice extremely peacefully. "He should be the most qualified person to join the Necromancer Guild."

"Why?" Master Aiden's old voice was still very indifferent, as if this was just an extremely casual question that could be asked or not. But he and his two colleagues followed suit and formed a triangle, trapping Vidnina in the middle.

"I have my reasons." Vidnina didn't retreat any further, and the black mist on her body began to thicken.

"Hahaha..." Master Aiden let out a misty laugh. But the atmosphere did not ease down because of this laughter. "Respectable Ms. Vidnina. We don't doubt your incomparable wisdom and judgment. But regarding this matter, I think everyone should discuss it slowly... The newcomer you introduced just broke down in the Forest of Whispers. It is a huge action planned by all our members. I think this newcomer needs to be carefully considered. Out of respect for you, we plan to invite you to take a rest in one place..."

"What do you want to do?" Vidnina's voice became even worse, and the black mist on her body began to churn. "Do you want to fight? There has never been a fight in Diya Valley."

"Since the great Archibald founded the Necromancer Guild, there has never been a civil strife among necromancers. Those who can join this noble organization have otherworldly spirits even if they don't have the same goals and ideas. Wisdom and self-cultivation, how can they use violence to resolve disputes like those lowly and stupid people." Master Aiden took out a white radiant jade from his arms. "I said, we just ask you to take a break."

The other two necromancers also took out the same jade. The three jade stones emit a soft and pure white light, which is pure white magic. Under the control of the three necromancers, the three jade stones emitted milky white magic waves that reflected each other, surrounding Vidnina.

"You are really willing to use three magic jades to activate the sealing technique of white magic." The black mist on Vidnina's body was as thick as ink, and it surrounded her body like little snakes Rolling and jumping, frantically devouring the surrounding white light. Her voice sounded like a direct curse from Duan. "But do you think you can do it with the three of you? Don't forget that you are not proficient in white magic. I may not be the opponent of the three of you, but it is by no means so easy to imprison me."

A sigh sounded not far behind her, and another wave of white magic mixed with these three to produce a subtle resonance. The black ripples on her body were like flames under the tide, and they were instantly suppressed.

"So it's you." Vidnina turned around and saw the person behind her, her voice fell completely hoarse. "I didn't expect it to be you. Do you think the same as them?"

This person did not hold a magic jade in his hand, but the white magic that he released with his bare hands was the most powerful and honest, because it was learned by him under the guidance of the most formal Master Guangming of the Magic Academy.

There is a strange expression on his handsome and graceful face now. He shook his head, looked at Lich's face that was between a zombie and a skeleton, his eyes were full of tenderness, and said in a distressed voice: "You are still the same as before, too persistent, too impulsive, and too naive."

Shortly after, the meeting of Dejagu was held.

The meeting room is not very big, without any trace of luxury and decoration, it looks like an ordinary hall. The furnishings inside are simple and unadorned, everything has a substantial use, and deliberate decoration and luxury are meaningless here.

It was already late at night, but the meeting room was still as bright as day, and a large piece of magic crystal inlaid on the ceiling evenly spread the soft and bright light to every corner. The light is exactly the same as the sun but not dazzling. A small piece of this stuff is usually enough for many a magician to go to great lengths to get their hands on a very fine wand, but here it was used purely for lighting.

In the center of the hall is a large and delicate round table. Very elegant shape, every line on it is exquisite and harmonious to the point of art. It was carved by a member a long time ago with three years of time, using a piece of ten-thousand-year-old sandalwood that is unique in the mainland.

There are thirteen chairs around the round table, and nine of them are already occupied. This was the biggest meeting of the Necromancer Guild in the past ten years, and everyone who could come came.

In other places, some of them are rich and powerful, some are sages admired by thousands of people, and some are poor hermits. But here, all the fame and wealth of the world are not worth mentioning. They are all members of the greatest and noblest Necromancer Guild.

There is a huge crystal ball in the center of the round table. The hallucinated image in the ball is the Whispering Forest with flying flames.

The circle of gargoyles in the sky is using the blood mist magic circle to guide the sunlight to pour the focus of death onto the sun well. Suddenly a huge flame ball rose from the ground, its diameter almost reaching half of the blood mist magic circle. As soon as the slow-moving fireball came into contact with the magic circle, the image in the crystal ball was only a frenzied fiery red. Although there was no sound, everyone sitting there seemed to be able to feel a faint and huge vibration.

A necromancer laughed, but only let out a cough-like laugh, pointing to the sinking crystal ball and said: "A fireball technique has a destructive power similar to that of a forbidden spell. I think we should all All start from apprentices to relearn the basic theory of magic.”

"That's our elaborate gargoyle..." A well-maintained middle-aged man rested his chin, closed his eyes, and sighed. "Those magic materials consumed, everyone's hard work, if converted into gold coins, is enough to buy a big country."

Master Aiden opened his eyes, glanced at the others, and said lightly in his characteristic tone: "These are the images copied from the memories of Inham and I, and you can deduce how this happened. Something happened."

"The person who can resonate with the divine power of the Sunwell should be someone who has been baptized by the sun among the elves." A necromancer concluded. Others nodded one after another. "But according to what you said, it's just a human being, but how can a human being be baptized by the sun by those rigid and ignorant elves, that's 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 the old man Ronis. And some time ago In a great drama designed by our respected Inham that was supposed to shock the entire Eastern Continent, this kid and another woman who ruined a leaf of the World Tree sprayed a vampire to death with his own blood In other words, he also has the vitality of the leaf of the world tree in his body."

"Why didn't Inham mention such an important matter?" The necromancers looked at the Marquis.

The Marquis gave a wry smile, and replied: "Ronis didn't know much about the foreign language afterwards. He said it was the effect of the blessing technique. I was busy with other things at the time, so I didn't care at all. I thought it was just the woman's blood that was working. .”

The grim-faced necromancer said: "Leave this aside. According to Inham, this kid lived with our respected former acting president Mr. Sandro at the Magic Academy. From the point of being able to absorb the baptism of sunlight, we have reason to believe that he has learned the Meditation of Truth from Sandro. Judging from the personality of the respected and noble acting president, this is indeed very possible. "

The hall was silent. The necromancers stopped talking and sighing. Everything about this person surprised them, but when added together, it was far from surprise, but shock.

"His Excellency Archibald once said that one day, those who gather power will pull up the black star and completely change the world from the central place. For a long time, those who practice the meditation of truth Yes, the rites of the elves are one generation after another, and it is said that the leaves of the world tree once showed power in the world... These are actually not surprising." His always flat and desolate voice finally became heavy. "But what is important now is that the sun well, the leaf of the world tree, and the meditation of truth, these three things are all in one person."

The hall remained silent. The necromancers communicated with each other with strange eyes.

Master Aiden's tone was a bit weird, it seemed to be a wry smile, and it seemed to be a kind of disdainful ridicule. "Theoretically speaking, this person can indeed open the Dark Star. And if he can really open it, according to the rules that His Excellency Archibald set for us, we should submit to this king of the dead. Next, follow him to conquer the world." Master Aiden's cold and hazy eyes have been wandering on the expressions of each member. "I don't know what everyone thinks about this?"

Silence still reigns in the hall. After a long time, the cough of a necromancer broke the silence. He coughed and said slowly: "Conquer the world? I think this kind of boring and vulgar fact is not suitable for noble and elegant people like us."

The well-maintained necromancer lowered his head, played with the ring in his hand with fingers that were more delicate than a girl, and murmured softly: "And I think this world is very good now, There is no need to change anything. The key is..." He looked at his colleagues around him, showing a friendly and confident smile. "This world doesn't need us to conquer anymore."

The grim-looking necromancer nodded in agreement. "There is no need for people to touch the Dark Star. Even if it can be pulled out, what will be born may be a monster that only knows destruction and destruction. It will not do any good for us."

"I think so too..."

"Yes."

The necromancers slowly but clearly expressed a consensus.

Until the last member expressed his attitude, Master Aiden finally showed a smile. He knew that a rule that existed in name only had now been completely, thoroughly broken.

For every magician, Archibald, the magician who claims to be the closest to God, is even more important than God, after all, he used to be a living existence. Especially for the necromancers who learned many necromancers created by him, they can feel the greatness of this magician from the extensive and profound magic.

But greatness has its limits. Although his purpose of founding the Guild of Necromancers may be for the dark fetish, but five hundred years later, the people who gather in Di Yagu are definitely not because of faith. Everyone here is a top figure in human society, and no one wants to inexplicably fall out of some legendary oracle to lead him.

Master Aiden nodded and said. "Although Archibald is great, his views must have his reasons, and the power of the Dark Star is also unparalleled." As soon as his voice fell, he easily and confidently got to the point. "But, most importantly, the world is ours now. We don't need any leaders."

"That's great. This article should be included in the guild rules." A member applauded. Several other necromancers also nodded.

"And now this person will not only not be our leader, but also our enemy. Everyone should know that Ronis's recent actions against us have become active."

"Yes. This old man seems to be challenging the limits of our patience with 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 black star. Although we have no intention of asking someone to open it, but We will never allow others to destroy it. It is the spiritual symbol of our noble organization for hundreds of years." Master Aiden cleared his voice with force and said grandly. "I invited everyone here today to discuss how to deal with these two enemies. One is Ronis, and the other is the kid with three powers."

"Kill them all. We can no longer remain silent and loose. Since there are enemies targeting the organization, we should join hands and 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 work together, we will have a hard time."

Master Aiden interrupted other people's discussions and said: "Before discussing how to deal with foreign enemies, I would like to talk about other related issues. Have you not thought about it? The last leaf of the World Tree is in the Forest of Whispers , I could feel it when I was in the Forest of Whispers. And the princess must have eaten a piece. Our Inham friend can be sure of this, and many people in the King of the Ainfast Empire know about it. Then that Where did the leaf of the world tree that people eat come from? The only explanation is... Ms. Vidnina."

"The time when that human kid was baptized by the sun was the same as when Vidnina went to the Forest of Whispers. The leaf of the world tree that Vidnina had originally got fell into the hands of that kid for no reason. Also Yes, some time ago, Ms. Vidnina and some of us made a bet because of Oufu's war. Ms. Vidnina won, and her bet was to ask to introduce a new member to join. As a result, we found that the human boy I found our teleportation scroll on my body...."

"You mean... Ms. Widnina and Ronis conspired to let that person be a spy?" The well-maintained necromancer frowned with his carefully trimmed eyebrows, and the other Several necromancers shook their heads together. "This is impossible."

Master Aiden replied lightly: "I didn't say that. I just stated the facts. Whether it's the speculation you said or Vidnina really wanted that person to open the Dark Star~IndoMTL.com ~It’s not good for everyone.”

"Miss Lich didn't 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 to be too much." The old coughing necromancer struggled to squeeze out words from his cough.

Master Aiden replied lightly: "Don't worry. I'm only doing this temporarily for everyone's benefit, to prevent her who is impulsive from disrupting our actions. After we finish dealing with Ronis and that kid, Naturally, Ms. Lich will be invited to come out. The most urgent task now is to intercept the boy who escaped with the World Tree leaf, and to deal with Ronis at the same time. I suggest that I and the respected Ashley go to investigate the boy. trace, kill him to get back the leaf of the world tree. And you guys plan how to deal with Ronis."

When he walked out of the conference room with Asri, a smile appeared on Master Aiden's calm and indifferent face. He is satisfied with his performance and means.

After these things, the guild probably needs to recommend a new acting president. He thought about it and smiled again.
