Chapter Twenty-Six: The City of Death, The Upside-Down Tower
Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Shufang came to the fifth layer of the Necromancer Guild to gather, where there was a spatial teleportation magic array, which could directly reach the capital of death.
Here, Xiao Shufang saw the various big names of the Necromancer Guild in Yawei City.
According to the observation of chicken wings, there are two legendary powerhouses, and there are eight hero-level powerhouses.
One of these two legends is Lawrence, the leader of the Necromancer Guild in Yawei City, and the other is a legendary necromancer who lives in seclusion in Yawei City.
These two people were each followed by five junior necromancers, and then there were three or two junior necromancers behind the other sixth-order powerhouses, and counting the ten junior necromancers who competed with each other, there were thirty or forty people in total.
It seems that the previous ten-man battle was indeed only a warm-up match.
Among them, the vice president of the sub-legendary Lady Stephen was also among them, and she only smiled slightly when she saw Xiao Shumad.
"The people here are all the elites of Yawei City, and the selection of the City of Death is carried out in team battles, and I think as a member of the Yawei City Mage Guild, everyone should pay more attention to unity. And don't look at the alliance (necromancer) has the power of the country of death, but in the undead legion, the dark temple (death knight) and vampires are more powerful, today is the opportunity of the alliance, you must seize the opportunity and strive to win the place, and then the alliance will naturally have a reward. After President Lawrence's speech, Xiao Shufang was thoughtful.
In fact, the three mentors had also talked to Xiao Shumad before.
Don't look at the necromancer among the three major forces in the Death Nation, the necromancer is the strongest one, but in the middle and low-level professions, the necromancer mainly relies on the number of people to dominate.
After all, the junior necromancer is fragile and has scarce mana.
At the same time, there are fewer spells that they are proficient in, and they are not very useful against undead creatures with death resistance.
Therefore, it is really disadvantageous in the middle and low stages.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the powerhouses who founded the Dead Country were necromancers, and there were a large number of high-level combat power among the necromancers, it was unknown whether they would be able to become the strongest force in the Dead Country.
In contrast, vampires, a particular race of undead, can be described perfectly.
After all, vampires have wings to fly, and they can fly fast.
Therefore, they often also have a part-time assassin profession, plus their own profession or warrior or necromancer or even three professions, which can be described as full-time professionals, and often have an advantage against enemies of the same rank.
Moreover, vampires expand the group through initial support, and implement an elite policy, most of the newborn vampires have the ability of the peak of the third order, and if they are intermediate professionals before their deaths, they can quickly become intermediate professionals of the fourth order.
In fact, there are a large number of mid-ranking officers in the Undead Legion, all of whom are vampires.
This time, it was actually the low-ranking reserve officers who were selected, and the vampires sent nothing more than their blood servants.
Most of the Death Knights become Death Knights after the awakening of generals who die on the battlefield, but with the Death Realm moving overseas, it will be very difficult for the Death Knight to increase his own race through this method.
And the living people in captivity here in the Necromancer Alliance are forbidden to cultivate to the level of high-level professionals, so it is also difficult to test the Necromancer Alliance to input and transform raw materials.
So the Death Knight clan had to start raising Death Knight on their own.
They train skeletons, zombies, and ghosts from the three lower undead races to become undead warriors, and then progress to become death knights.
Although this process is long, the undead warriors under this kind of training often have a solid foundation and are very strong.
In particular, the Death Knight itself is good at commanding the undead army, so many of the generals in the Undead Legion and those high-ranking generals are from the Death Knight clan.
So this selection is more about paying attention to the contestants of these two elite races, of course, there are also many strong ones among the necromancers, and the battle will become more intense.
With a wave of his hand, several mages next to the space magic array instructed to activate the magic circle, and everyone stood on the magic array in turn and teleported into the capital of death.
After a period of dizziness, Xiao Shufang found himself standing in an empty hall, with many identical spatial magic arrays everywhere.
"Okay, don't stay in the magic array, let's go outside and meet your lords." The senior necromancer in charge of leading the team said.
There seemed to be a lot of teams similar to the contestants in this teleportation hall, and the senior necromancer who led the team kept greeting some people who knew inside.
After listening to it, I found that it seemed that all the people who came here should be people from the Necromancer Alliance, and they didn't see death knights and vampires.
After leaving the main hall and being in the City of the Dead, Xiao Shufang found that this place did indeed have many similarities with the City of the Dead in Yawei City, but there were more differences.
For example, there is a dark canopy in the sky, but there are as many as eight stone towers with gray smoke screens.
In the middle of the city, there is also a huge pyramid that resembles the Soul Tower.
But this pyramid building is really different, not only taller and bigger.
The point is that this pyramid is built not one, but two, one upright pyramid below and one upside down pyramid on top.
After studying as a necromancer during this time, Xiao Shufang understood that this building, called the Tower of Death, actually came from the most classic hourglass shape.
In the eyes of traditional magicians, the hourglass is time, and time represents decay and the power of death.
There are more towering buildings here, which are imperial tombs, according to documents that Xiao Shufang found in the library. The Capital of the Dead originally belonged to the tombs of the kings of the Raven Country, and was established here after the undead ruled the entire Raven Country.
The tall king's mausoleum has become a palace for the undead, and according to the leading mage, it is now inhabited by high-level legendary mages, and the entire mausoleum has been transformed into a meaning for the undead masters to conduct magic experiments, train undead servants and private residences.
The mausoleum group is actually built on the mountain, the tower of death is built on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there is a small city, there is the former crow king capital crow top city, from here you can also look at the face of the entire crow top city under the mountain, it is really a lifeless ghost town style, there are dilapidated buildings everywhere, from time to time there are ghost fires flickering, making people shudder.
The Tower of Death was indeed many times larger than Yawei City, after all, it was the only seventh-level necromancer guild in the Dead Country.
In the middle corner of the second floor, all the contestants who participated in the auditions were gathered here, and the vampires and death knights were finally able to be seen.
Among them, the vampires are really handsome and beautiful, and the death knights love to wear armor and wrap themselves like cans.
Of course, necromancers also have their own characteristics, that is, they like to wear gray magic robes and hide themselves under their hoods.
Here, the contestants were informed of the rules of the undead legion selection.
Small teams of three to seven people must be formed to fight in the Dusk Forest, and each person must collect all seven Black Iron Orders of the Undead Legion to successfully advance. (Seven represents the end of death)
Because it is necessary to know the command talent required by the legion, it is necessary to know how to work as a team, and individual ability is still relatively weak in large-scale wars, unless it reaches the heroic strength.
Hearing the rules, Xiao Shufang is quite nerve-wracking, no one here knows it, and even the other nine players who are also selected by Yawei City are not very familiar, how to form a team?
PS: Recently, I saw that my novel is also available on pirated websites.
I want to say that the beginning of this book has changed a lot, and many of the content settings are different, but the pirate website has not changed, and you will definitely be a little inconsistent when you read it.
And I'm all public chapters now, all for free, if it's on a pirated website, it's better to come to the starting point to see the original.
