Chapter 556: Elsewhere in the World

Just as the little bell descended on the barren land of the Land of Chaos in the form of a saint with the holy light of Pengbai, a strange scene occurred in other corners of the world.

All the way to the east, through the boundless "Vast Ocean", in the inland sea of the "Ulthuan", the origin of the elves, on the "Island of Fire" north of the Kingdom of Lothern, stands an ancient and solemn pyramid-shaped structure.

This building, called the "Asoyan Temple", is a sacred place in the hearts of all the High Elves.

After the death of each Phoenix King, a new successor will come here, enter the deepest cavern of the temple, and pass through the eternal "Phoenix Fire" unscathed under the watchful eye of a huge elven idol and the guardian who vows to be silent forever, the Phoenix Guard, in order to become the new Phoenix King.

Just now, the gentle white flame suddenly went berserk, from a fist-sized flame to a person's height, as if it was about to devour everything, but it didn't take long for the raging flame to shrink again and change back to its original appearance.

The Phoenix Guard, who had witnessed all this, was full of doubts, and even the eldest of them, the Fire Phoenix, Ka Zhuoyan, frowned, he had never encountered such a situation in his long career of vowing to become a Phoenix Guard.

In his memory, he seemed to have heard of something similar, but it was thousands of years ago, and when that polluted vein passed through the holy flame, the white flame had also lost control and became manic.

Kadryan didn't know what to do for a while, but now that everything was back to normal and the great Asuyan didn't give any divine decree, he decided to keep his oath and keep silent.

……

On another continent, farther away than "Ulthuan", the cold wind whistled like a flying sharp knife, leaving wounds in the gloomy sky.

Nagaros, in the northernmost part of this bitter cold land, has a towering black spire called the "Tower of Prophecy" Garond.

Unlike other places, the spire is surrounded by never-ending blizzards, and beneath this seemingly barren land lies a staggering amount of gold, silver, and all sorts of precious stones, even after thousands of years of excavation, it is one of the most important sources of income for the Witch King Malekith to sustain his vast army.

This is the only dark elf city that is independent of the rule of the "Witch King", and the reason for this is not only because of the large amount of wealth that is handed over on time every year, but more importantly, because its owner, a woman whose intrigue and magic skills are at the top of the Warhammer world, she is the wife of the original "Phoenix King", the mother of Marekis, the founder of the "Cult of Pleasure", one of the nine Dreadlords, "Witch Queen" Morathy.

At this time, this legendary figure who has influenced and even decided the course of history several times is standing at the top of the "Tower of Prophecy", staring at the raging wind and snow outside with a pair of eyes that shimmer with pitch black light.

Around her, one hundred and three dark elf warlocks stood in their respective positions according to their strength, and together they channeled mana to Morassi in the middle.

Among them are both legendary Dark Grand Karcists and mid-level Warlocks who have just been promoted to the Fourth Ring, but without exception, they are all women.

Among them is also a familiar figure, with a graceful figure and a cold face, it is the youngest of the three eldest ladies of the "Fallen Heart" family, Liadline Fallen Heart.

After returning from the Empire, this eldest lady's carefree good life is over, because of her outstanding talent, she was handpicked by the "Witch Queen" early, and when she becomes an adult, she will enter the "Tower of Prophecy" and begin the cultivation of dark magic.

This is a good thing that ordinary dark elves dare not think of, in their social hierarchy, only women are qualified to practice magic, and after becoming a sorceress, they automatically enter the aristocratic class.

Of course, this is not worth mentioning to the eldest lady of the "Fallen Heart" family, she was born with a golden key, but after all, the dark elves are a race of the jungle, competition is everywhere, and only by constantly improving their own strength can they maintain their current status.

So when she was old, no matter how much Liadlin objected, her father still sent his favorite little daughter over as soon as possible.

As it turned out, her magical talent was also among the most prominent here, and in just one year, she was promoted from the fifth ring to the sixth ring, which is a rapid progress, and more importantly, she was also recruited as a member of the "Dark Order" - a core group of warlocks personally selected and controlled by Morassi, who is qualified to ascend to the top of the "Tower of Prophecy" and transmit magic to the "witch queen" in the center of the circle, so that the latter can see through the unpredictable blizzard and see the mysterious patterns hidden in the void.

It is said that inside these patterns are hidden the secrets of fate and the answers to all the unsolved mysteries of the world, and if you dare to look at them, you will know all of them.

But so far, only the "Witch Queen" can barely observe for half an hour with the assistance of hundreds of dark warlocks, and the results of each observation will be sent back to the "Naga Longde" by a black guard who is specially guarded here as quickly as possible, and handed it over to the "Witch King" himself.

This is the second observation after Liadlin came to the "Tower of Prophecy", and with the experience of the last time, this time she is much calmer and steadily controls the output of the magic power in her body, which is also a kind of cultivation.

Just as the time of observation was about to end, an accident happened, and Liadlin suddenly found that her magic was uncontrollable, gushing out like a floodgate.

This was not the only one who had this happening, the other dark elves around her were also facing the same problem, and the higher the rank of the sorceress, the worse the mana poured out, and the final result was that with the strong wind of magic, Morassi in the center of the circle let out a terrible scream, and then fainted.

At the same time, a scream of despair sounded, and a third of the sorceress on the spire exploded and died without warning, and the originally beautiful flesh instantly turned to dust and was swept into the raging storm, leaving no trace.

In the end, only a place of mana was exhausted, and the survivors were full of terror.

………

At the same time, whether active or passive, mutations are happening.

In the temple city in the deepest part of the Luschia rainforest, the mighty Demon Toad Priest Sima Zida Moody awoke from meditation, chanted a mantra softly, and then spoke into the empty room.

"Kuga, coordinates XXX, XXX, go there, complete your mission!"

In the Land of the Dead, in the capital of the Gunichkala Dynasty, "Kamuri", the majestic "Immortal Emperor" Setra was furious, and four or five huge cracks appeared in his impregnable pyramid at the same time. He ordered the Lich Priests of the Funeral Sect to find out the cause within a month, or they were all banished.

In Aldolph, in the war-torn Sigma Cathedral, the new Grand Chanter suddenly sees a comet with two tails in the night sky, which flashes away.

In the Esoloren Forest......

In the White Wolf Temple......

In the Northern Wasteland......

In the distant Aurora, Nipun, Indy......

In countless places, magical things are happening.

And somewhere on the endless sea, a huge fleet, a burly guy with a huge horned steel helmet on his head, whose face could not be seen clearly, spat out a few words from his mouth.

Low and powerful.

"It's finally getting started."
