Chapter 339: The Underworld
In addition to the commonalities in the knowledge of spells, the influence left by the sorcerers is also present in various aspects.
And for example, the corpse monster that Rhodes had seen in Valen City actually used this fusion ritual, but it was used in a special way, which was to fuse a large number of corpses together and combine them with necromancy, which was transformed.
Thinking back to the Death Knight he controlled in Valen City, Rhodes knew that he should have a certain connection with the sorcerer, but the underground world where the sorcerer existed was still too far away for him at that time, so Rhodes didn't ask too much.
In addition to banishing sorcerers, Bracada has also banished necromancers who have appeared in the territory. Due to the late appearance of necromancers, Bracada did not cause much civil strife after having experience in banishing sorcerers.
When Bracada banished the sorcerers and necromancers, all that remained in Bracada was the purest knowledge of spells and the use of magical elements.
With all this done, Bracada's glory is long gone, but it still relies on magic to maintain its dominance over the surrounding area.
The order to expel the sorcerer and the necromancer was all the work of the same person, the mage god.
The god of mages has also transcended life and death, and has survived many eras the master of Bracada by virtue of his ability to cast spells.
After the glorious era of Bracada passed, although the mage god still survived, it had long since fallen silent, and there was no desire to lead Bracada's mages to conquer the world.
Even when Tanan led his army to take revenge, Bracada was devastated, most of the territory fell, and he had to turn to necromancers, the mage god did nothing.
It is true that the Forbidden Orb can restrain all mages, but for the God of Mages, the Forbidden Orb is nothing, as long as it is far away from the enveloping range of the Forbidden Orb, the God of Mages can rely on his own spells to create a powerful Elemental Army.
However, the mage god did not do this, and instead allowed Bracada to be caught in the flames of war.
No one could understand the mind of the mage god, not even the closest mages around him, as to why he had made this decision.
These mages did not want to believe that the god of mages, who had led Bracada into a glorious era long ago, and who had vigorously defended the purity of spells, and even expelled sorcerers and necromancers, had allowed Bracada to join forces with Deya without doing anything, as if he had given up on Bracada.
For this reason, they can only be disappointed in this mage god, and can only rely on their own efforts to lead the rest of the mages to resist.
Long before Tanan's appearance, Bracada had fallen into deep corruption, and all this was inextricably linked to the inaction of the mage god.
In addition to the Magic Guild, which is still strictly enforcing the orders of the mage god, there will be a special overseer to conduct patrols. The rest of the Mage Lords of Bracada didn't care about this prohibition at all, and instead took the initiative to explore the forbidden knowledge.
Among them, necromancers can be easily approached because they are always aware of Bracada's movements, while those who are true sorcerers rarely operate in the surface world, and even if the mage lord wants to learn hexology, it is not so easy.
Once, when Bracada banished the necromancer, the necromancer established the power of Deya. And the sorcerers who were banished to the underworld built one dungeon after another underground.
Compared to the surface world, the underground world is infinitely wider than the surface world. Due to the freedom from the height limitation in space, through the efforts of countless creatures, the underground world has long become incomparably wide, and all kinds of passages extend in all directions and are endless.
And those xenomorph creatures that were created through the fusion ritual, the sorcerer finally found a place to settle. Due to the extremely wide underground space, those powerful xenomorph creatures, the sorcerer may sell them to the arena, and those unranked creatures, the sorcerer will abandon them in the vast underground world at will.
The tunnels that extend in all directions in the underground world are mostly from these abandoned xenomorphs, except for a few that have been dug by the sorcerers themselves.
Due to the prevalence of fusion rituals, the presence of arenas is indispensable in the underworld.
Watching these xenomorph creatures fighting each other for survival in the arena can greatly satisfy the desires of those sorcerers. Sorcerers will even bet a lot of gold just to see the creatures they support emerge victorious.
If Bracada was to keep magic pure and thus expel the sorcerers, then now, the sorcerers have also given up the study of spells and devoted themselves to the study of various witchcraft rituals.
The environment of the underground world is even worse than that of Diya.
Creatures abandoned by sorcerers will go to great lengths to hunt other creatures in order to survive, and over time, they have evolved to adapt to the underground environment, and even their eyes no longer exist.
As a result of these creatures, one gathering place after another of native species in the underworld was discovered, and it was soon divided up by the sorcerers, which was a disaster for the creatures that existed in the entire underworld.
As time passed, the area of the underground world grew larger and larger, and the internal roads had long since extended to nowhere, and even experienced sorcerers would have lost their way in the depths of the underground world without the guidance of xenomorphic creatures.
Finally, after a long period of excavation by these xenomorphs, they reached the end of the underground world.
The location was extremely bright, and all that shone was magma all over the ground. From the magma, a creature with flames attached to it also noticed the xenomorphs and attacked them.
Through the path created by these xenomorph creatures, in the deepest part of the ground, this group of creatures that have existed for an unknown amount of time finally found a way to the overworld, thus bringing a catastrophe to the entire overworld world.
The creatures that appear in the magma are the Ofer forces that have existed deep underground for an unknown amount of time, which is commonly known as the forces of hell by players.
In Rod's mind, a series related to this catastrophe is the main content of the third expansion. It can be said that the beginning of the third expansion, the emergence of the forces of hell, is inseparable from these actions of the sorcerer.
