Chapter 516: Alliance Headquarters, Different Atmosphere, Points
Sure enough, the black cloud void in the sky is actually a kind of mutated dimensional gate, driven by the power of death, which can directly communicate with most of the locations in Dejia.
Under the leadership of the Lord of Amun, Moriarty walked through the cloud cave with the necromancers of the alliance system, and after a burst of time and space light and shadow, he emerged in another heaven and earth.
Moriarty immediately looked around, and saw that the land was a rolling mountain. And on this piece of mountain peaks, there are mage towers facing each other, each with its own mountain. At the same time, there are a large number of buildings of various colors scattered all over the flat area of the mountainside or bottom, connected by winding mountain roads, which seem to be both distant and inseparable.
But what attracts people's attention the most is the endless flow of mountain springs and streams between the mountains, like crystal silk threads, which entangle the entire mountain range.
"Fountain of Silence!"
There is no doubt that the mountain city in front of you is the rumored headquarters of the Necromancer Alliance, the "Fountain of Silence", which is also the most prosperous and "open" place in Dejia. Even the "Stygian Sea", where the main hall of the Holy Spirit Temple is located, cannot be compared.
Without alarming the mountain city below, the Lord of Amon just waved his hand, and the surrounding undead powerhouses silently returned to the mage tower.
Similar to Bracada's priesthood, most of the Alliance's necromancers are also academic. They are more willing to learn and delve into necromancy than to fight and war, and they don't care much about pomp and power. And looking at these necromancer powerhouses silently dispersed, Moriarty also seemed to see a familiar kind, and there was no sense of disobedience.
And when everyone dispersed, the only people who still followed the Lord of Amon were Moriarty and another fifteenth-level necromancer, Negusta.
The former is a "captive", and the Lord of Amun will naturally not be able to go anywhere until he speaks; The latter is a student of the Lord of Amun and one of the vice-presidents of the Alliance. Of course, it is also necessary to "obey orders and listen to commands".
"Let's go back to the alliance first. There's something I want to ask you. "Look at Moriarty, Lord of Amun.
"Yes, Your Excellency." In this regard, Moriarty naturally agreed.
Thus Negusta led the way, followed by Moriarty and the Lord of Amun. The three of them also slowly descended from the sky. But he didn't fall to any of the towering mage towers, but came to a side peak on the outermost part of the mountain city.
There, a simple wooden hut stood silently, like a mountain hunter's shelter, which was too inconspicuous.
However, when Moriarty followed the Lord of Amun into the house, he suddenly discovered that there was actually something else in the hut.
"It's... Space Folding..."
Passing through the humble door, Moriarty was greeted by a very wide square. It covers an area of at least more than one square kilometer.
The floor of the square is paved with pure obsidian and special bone tiles, and each material is standard and square, which gives you a unique sense of solemnity at a glance, which makes people feel calm.
And stepping on this black and white ground also makes people feel very comfortable, only to feel that both obsidian and bone bricks are laid horizontally and neatly, which can be said to be smooth as a mirror, but it is not too slippery to walk. Even if you walk all the way, you can walk while thinking about what problems you have. It will not be mixed with garlic under the feet, and there will be a problem. And in the square. Sure enough, there were many necromancers, old and young, strolling and walking, even arguing and questioning each other, and even when they saw the Lord of Amun and Negusta appear, the nearby sorcerers just saluted one after another, and then continued with what they had just talked about or what they were doing.
"This is the half-plane opened up by the Alliance, the 'Palace of Eternal Life', and it is also the headquarters of the Alliance." As a guide. Negusta volunteered to introduce Moriarty.
"I've heard of the Hall of Eternal Life for a long time, but I don't want it to be a half-plane. But the core of the alliance is open to the public like this, won't there be a problem? ”
Even the famous city-states of Bracada humans or goblins have never heard of any grand arcanist who has made a half-plane. So when he saw the qiē in front of him, Moriarty was shocked to the end.
Because since the exodus of the undead faction. The Mage's Land and Dejia are purely hostile. Even if there is no large-scale direct war, the connection between the two is basically frozen, especially after the Ice Apocalypse.
But in the hundreds of years when the old and the dead have not been in contact, the necromancers have quietly created a half-plane, and the land of the mages is still unaware. And if this news is to be transmitted back to Bracada, I am afraid that the entire ice field will be shaken to the ground immediately.
What a half-plane thing it is!
What kind of technology is space folding!
It can be said that only those powerful heroes before the ice apocalypse can master such a powerful ability, creating an absolute space that only belongs to themselves, just like the "secret place" opened up by the Demon Emperor in the City of Witchcraft.
And now, the Dejia Necromancer Alliance has mastered this kind of technology, and it has even been put into large-scale normal use. This alone can be determined that in the field of space magic, Dejia is far ahead of Bracada, and it is not impossible to say that he is even a generation ahead.
Seeing Moriarty's genuine look of surprise, Negusta smiled but did not respond positively to his surprise.
"Negusta, you take Davidson around first to learn about the state of the league and its rules. I'll be here in an hour. At this moment, the Lord of Amun gave a command to the student, and then the figure faded and disappeared.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Before Moriarty could come to his senses, Negusta walked first.
Moriarty hurriedly followed.
"This is the Alliance's database, where ordinary level 1 to level 3 necromancy and other magic books can be applied for study and reading. Of course, all knowledge acquisition is not free, and borrowers need to pay the corresponding Dejia gold pounds and alliance points..."
"Necromancy above level 4 is a strictly controlled strategic resource, and non-extreme level cannot be lifted. Moreover, if you want to learn a fourth-level spell, you need to get special approval from the teacher, and the price you have to pay is quite expensive..."
"This is a public alliance information list, and all necromancers can post or take on quests from the list to earn money and points. Typically, the vast majority of the Coalition's transactional work and fairly regular research is released to all necromancers in the form of quests. Of course, you can also take on some tasks as you wish, after all, as an outsider, you may not lack money, but the lack of alliance points is definitely insufficient..."
"This is the office of the Alliance's branches... Any necromancer who has reached a high rank can apply to the Alliance to set up their own research team or academic salon. Once approved, the alliance provides it with a certain amount of money and points each year. If the team's research project is significant or achieves a considerable breakthrough, the support of the alliance will be strengthened..."
"All kinds of information about Dejia, and even the information of the nations and clans of the Great Land can be queried from here for a fee. Of course, due to the current demon war, there will be a considerable delay in the transmission of relevant information outside of Dejia, and there will inevitably be a discount on reference..."
In an hour and sixty minutes, Moriarty, led by Negusta, gave a general understanding of the headquarters of the Necromancer Alliance. But just this kind of preliminary browsing made his heart flood with huge waves, and even a little excited.
Putting aside the so-called position of good and evil, the internal structure and operating rules of the Necromancer Alliance are far ahead of the Mage's Homeland.
Although the magical inheritance of the major city-states of Bracada also implements the academy system, advocating professional teaching and research, it seems to be a generation behind the close industry-university linkage of the Dejia Alliance, such a large scale, and such an open, fair and fair learning and research atmosphere.
In particular, the so-called alliance points actually constitute a top-down bond, which invisibly smooths the flow of resources and the spread of academics, and at the same time, it also thoroughly implements the will of the superior in a bit of nourishment, and will not cause any backlash. Because the undertaking of a qiē task is voluntary, conscious, and out of individual or team interest.
One can imagine what kind of monstrous power a magical alliance with an overall volume of at least half of Bracada would burst out under such a system. Bracada, on the other hand, after the apocalyptic apocalypse, the city-states were increasingly reduced and cut off, and even beggar-thy-neighbor hostility led to the outbreak of civil war between the north and the south.
Therefore, objectively speaking, if there is another war between Dejia and Bracada's priests at this moment, even if the strength of the Mage's Country has a considerable advantage on the surface, Moriarty believes that after several rounds of battles, Bracada will be lucky to be able to draw with Dejia.
"Your Excellency, how long has this point system been implemented by the Alliance?" Finally, after a hurried tour, Moriarty did not hold back and asked Negusta.
"It's been about fifty years." Negusta glanced at the other party, and his eyes flashed with a flash of soul, which seemed to be meaningful: "Since the completion of the 'Palace of Eternal Life', the teacher and several Excellencies have determined the various systems of the current alliance and implemented them. ”
"Fifty years..."
Hearing this answer, Moriarty nodded slightly, and said no more.
For the 10,000-year-long history of Anta Gregory, fifty years is nothing, but it is just a flick of a finger. But for Moriarty, having seen the Necromancer's Alliance's point system and other supporting systems with his own eyes, he had to secretly speculate about how much the strength of the Dejia Alliance had swelled in the past fifty years. There may be a saying that is not so appropriate, but Moriarty has to feel relieved, fortunately, there is still a behemoth such as the Temple of the Holy Spirit within Dejia, which can counterbalance the development of the Necromancer Alliance. Otherwise, the entire continent may be placed in the shadow of the Necromancer Alliance. (To be continued......)
