Chapter 50: A New Chapter!
Chapter 50: A New Chapter!
The first snow of the new calendar, although the bitter cold winter made many people secretly worried about the storage of food at home, it has to be said that when the New Year's bell rang, the faces of the inhabitants of the empire were still filled with joyful joy. [No pop-up novel network]
The power of the country was once again in the hands of the royal family, and the war was over, and when people thought that a better future was about to begin, it did not appear, and the darkness that hung over the empire had no intention of subsiding.
From 4o4 to 4o7 in the new calendar, it was a dark period for many, when a rebel party named Argus usurped power and ruled the country for three years.
The accession to the throne of His Majesty Theo Butz Yarwood was undoubtedly a new beginning in the eyes of the common people, but unfortunately, the ignorant ones did not realize that the dark age was not over, no, it should be said...... It's just getting started!
Following the seizure of power by Jerry Belfort, the former vice president of the Royal Magical Association and now the president, who defected to Argus, Vander's Mage Tower and Gary's Mage Tower once dissolved their cooperative relationship, and maintained a political confrontation, but in the face of a major event, Vander had to choose to cooperate with Ggray.
This is a momentous event that concerns the entire empire, and indeed the entire human world!
After the mysterious magician broke into the king's enthronement ceremony and slaughtered the Sassen nobles, the striking news was undoubtedly that the villages, towns and cities across the empire were attacked on different scales, and what was more worrying was that it was not human robbers who attacked these villages, towns and cities, but demons, demons who hunted for food or satisfied their desire to kill.
Humans are no strangers to demons, after all, this dark creature that lives in the abyss has appeared as early as the pre-alchemy era, and was the main means used by dark magicians to deter enemies and use it as an attack force.
And this kind of demon who accepted the summons of the black mage and came to this world has an obvious and unified feature in appearance, that is, in all parts of their bodies, mostly on their foreheads, there is a large Xiao different. Summoning runes of different colors, this is also the main method used by ancient magicians to distinguish other people's demons, but this time the situation is a little special, I don't know why, a large number of unsummoned demons have sneaked into the human world from the abyss where they live, and the highest level of demons has even reached the Ambershad level.
Maybe some people don't know the strength represented by Ambershad-level demons, which is very simple, equivalent to the existence of a great magician in the division of human power classes, you can imagine what kind of scene such a powerful demon would be if it attacked a certain village.
Such a thing has never happened in the hundreds of years of the empire, or even in the nearly 1,000-year history of mankind.
Who is responsible for this series of changes?
And at this time, the Gorry Mage Tower and the Vander Mage Tower pointed these many fingers at one person, a man named Belial!
The name may seem unfamiliar to people in other parts of the world, and it is not at all comparable to Argus, who usurped state power, but in the eyes of the inhabitants of Sasson, the man named Beria is much more terrible than Argus.
After all, after defeating Argus, who is still reviled until now, the new head of the Helily Oaks Academy, Volmen G. Claes, was once the default default to being the most powerful black mage in the Empire today, but even the great man who defeated Argus was no match for Beria's mysterious magician.
In this way, when all kinds of people have all kinds of thoughts, the empire ushers in a new year, and mankind also ushers in a new chapter!
"Dead Domain?"
"Ah, the Dead Realm is what we call it there, and others generally call it the Dead Realm, Dean!"
On a sunny morning, Soth personally inspected the situation of his own academy since he took over as the dean of Heliryoaks Academy, and in the past, this was usually done by the head of the year, Professor Manhet Sr., after all, in the early time, Soth had to deal with the affairs of the Sassen Magic Association, and he had to learn to master the source power, so he did not have enough time.
And beside him is a new generation of eminent necromancers, Poole.
"When you say that, I think of the ...... that Beria summoned in front of the Sassen Palace last time."
"Well, I've heard about that, too...... It should be one of the four portals to the Dead Realm, the Gate of Corpses!"
Pausing to look at the academy students who were experimenting with their newfound magic in the distance at the training ground, Soth frowned and said with some concern, "So, Beria is now in the realm of death?"
"I guess so!" Stopping to stand beside Soth, Poole glanced at a few students who were trying to use skeleton summoning in the cao field, and looked at the skeletons that were so white that they were so white that they were staggering under the control of their masters, they seemed to feel a little funny, shook their heads, and said with a light smile, "To be honest, I can't believe that among the human race, there are people who know more about the Dead Realm than we do...... Even I can't open the door to the Dead Realm!" said this, his tone was a little gloomy, after all, he was the most prominent of the necromancers, and even he couldn't do it, let alone anyone else.
Glancing at Poole, who had a disappointed and regretful expression on his face, Soth smiled and joked, "Don't you want to say something else, for example, someone has broken into your holy land?"
"Holy Land?" Poole laughed, then shook his head and said with some concern, "We're not those guys from the Holy See, but...... I'm still worried about that ancient region. I've always thought that the Imperial Dark Mage is prejudiced against us: birth and death, which is the most basic form of life, as long as it is a living object, sooner or later it will usher in death, which is unavoidable, in other words, we necromancy should not be classified as dark magic, but should be ...... in life magic"
"Elven life magic?" Thus said with a smile.
"Hehe, probably," Poole said with a slight smile and a sigh, "It's just that the elves are biased towards [Birth], and we are biased towards [Ending]......"
"The Cycle of Life......"
"That's what it means," Seeing that Soth seemed to agree with his point of view, Poole felt very relieved, nodded and continued, "That's why I'm more worried about whether Beria's behavior will bring immeasurable disasters to this world, once the cycle of life is broken, the order of this world will inevitably be affected, and the worst thing is undoubtedly to lead to the collapse of the entire world order!"
"......" Soth opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Don't try to challenge him, Poole, a month ago, I may have had this in mind, but now, with the help of the Great Will, I can feel Beria's strength more and more...... It was a flame that would never be extinguished, and he was bound to kill any enemy who dared to stand in his way, and I don't think that guy would stop if it was the whole world in his way...... In a way, that's a crazier and poorer guy than Argus!"
"Oh, crazy and pathetic, I think that Argus guy would be glad to hear your [compliment]," Poole made a joke, and then, as if thinking of something, asked cautiously, "Honestly, did you keep your hand at that time?"
Soth was stunned, and then he realized that Poole was referring to the battle with Beria outside the Sassen Palace at that time, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You won't keep your hand, will you?" Otherwise, even Slos wouldn't have been taken away by that guy, Beria...... In the words of the Great Elder, that creature may have become something like [will]!"
"Will, I think it means an indelible spirit, right? He already has a power comparable to that of a god?"
"Perhaps," Soth sighed slightly, looking at the practice field from a distance at the guidance of some students who were teaching and practicing magic one by one, when he saw the familiar fireballs, his fingers couldn't help but move, his eyes softened a lot, and a little smile appeared on his face, muttering, "The world where the Great Magician stands at the apex of the wizarding world is over, and the history of magic will enter a new stage......
"If this is the only way to go for the Magical Civilization Exhibition, I think it's a good thing......"
"But it's going to be too fast, and besides, not everyone can become a great magician, let alone ...... Demigods!" Soth took a slight breath, turned around and walked a few steps, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next class!"
"Good!" Poole nodded and followed, looking at the boy in front of him who was only about sixteen years old, he was very emotional, although he was a genius among necromancers, but the world of necromancers was too narrow, where could it be compared to the black magicians who used their own ideas to maintain the entire empire for hundreds of years, as long as there were a few geniuses among the tens of thousands of dark magic apprentices around the empire now, and they didn't even need to be like the one in front of them, it was impossible for the necromancer to regain control of the light world, and there was no way, after all, the necromancer had been derailed from this world for too long, and for a long time it even made people forget their own existence。
If you want to continue to maintain the tradition and philosophy of the necromancer, you must rely on powerful forces, as was the case with Argus in the past, and now it is also true of Wolmen G. Kleist.
As for the proposal of the opponents of the clan, Poole thought about it and found it unfeasible.
What if you lose the power of your ancient will? Wolmen G. Kleist is still one of the most powerful black mages in the Empire right now!
What's more, those who disagree with it in the clan don't know that the only demigod-level human in the world is the future of this young man......
Taking the place of the Black Mage?
Alas, nothing more than a stupid and beautiful extravagance......
In the second year of the new Helily Oaks Academy, the situation is much more optimistic than the first year, as of February, there are more than 3,000 magic apprentices in the academy, and the embarrassing situation of more professors than students has finally ended, and about two hundred of them have chosen the course of [Necromancy], which makes the discordant voice among the necromancers a lot lower, in fact, they are not to blame, after all, the current necromancers in the empire, all of them together may not be a quarter of the black magicians of Van Duo, which makes the necromancers, The old elders, in particular, were worried that necromancy would be extinct.
On the contrary, if they can absorb some new blood, then they can continue to maintain the concept and tradition of necromancers, and with this in mind, they are willing to attach themselves to Helili Ox, which can be regarded as the result of being driven by profits.
It is worth mentioning that before and after the Royal Magician of Sassen took the initiative to confer the titles of Grand Magician of Soth and Honorary Vice President of the Royal Magician, the senior students who had previously [been forced to drop out] due to Argus returned to Heliriox one after another, and many of them had some good students.
And once the number of people increases, the problems that plagued the academy in the past will all come out one by one, such as the contradiction between the aristocratic students and the commoner students that seems to exist in the classics of the academy, but at this time, the professors of the academy do not have the leisure to alleviate the contradictions among those students, after all, the eyes of people like Soth and others are still paying attention to Beria's movements.
And, although the two magical forces of Sasson and Van Doh are now in peace, to be honest, the royal magician and Van Doll mage are not all the way after all, and in view of the fact that there are more and more monsters in the vicinity of Van Do, so, in this case, Van Do, no, it should be Helly Ox, formed a group composed of senior students, similar to the Knights, named by the Grand Elder Vander himself, [Stuus] Occasionally, the instructor of the group will accept the commission of a nearby city or village to lead students to find some monsters that attack humans, so that students can better understand magic in real battles.
It is worth mentioning that the current Helily Oaks Academy, he no longer only teaches magic knowledge as he did at the beginning, in addition to the previous courses, the academy has also added [astrology] courses, [necromancy] courses, etc., and even [horsemanship] and [swordsmanship] and other most basic knight courses, not what magic knights will be cultivated by the academy, but some people who have experienced wars such as Soth believe that even if they are magicians, they also need a certain amount of physical strength, if they don't even have the physical strength to chant spells, even if you have more strength, so what?
In addition, the Helily Oaks Academy and Van Delta jointly founded a magic association, headquartered in the magic city of Van Del City, less than five hundred yards away from Van Delta, most of the members of the association are black mages who participated in the war, belonging to the magic association under the Helily Oaks Academy, called [Stuus Vandor Magic Association], referred to as [Van Doll Magic Association] or [Stu Van Doll Magic Association].
The establishment of the Vandor Magic Association represents the end of the absolute control of the Sassen Royal Magicians in the Empire, and becoming a Royal Magician is no longer the only way out for the Black Magicians of the Empire, which is a very big blow to the Royal Magic Association, in this regard, Jerry Belfort, the president of the Royal Magic Society, deliberately went to Van Duo to test Soth, but for Thos, who has mastered the source power, he does not look at the Apostle like others, after the secret competition between the two different forces, Jerry Belfort finally chose to be silent, after all, he thinks that the young dean in front of him is not an ordinary guy who can deal with it, not to mention, because of the existence of Belial, the current magical forces of the empire, this is not the time for infighting.
And just as the Helily Oaks Academy was on the right track, in a richly decorated palace in Sassen, Lilith was leading her best friend Dia into her room.
"It's really strange," turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Dia, Lilith stared at her with a gaze that made Dia blush, and said with a coquettish smile, "Why did you think of coming to see me?
"What!" Dia lowered her head shyly, glanced at Lilith complainingly, took the teacup, and said helplessly, "I wouldn't have come to see you if I had known...... I'm just embarrassed to ask you to come to Vandor to find me every time and talk to you about something boring......"
"Boring things?" poured herself a glass of red wine, Lilith took a sip, looked at Dia Tiantia, and said with a smile, "I, I just like to hear you say those boring things, by the way, did you do what I said last time, with him...... Hee-hee, talk fast!"
"Oops!" Dia's face turned red and she glared at Lilith in shame.
"Tell me, did you do what I said?"
"I ......" Dia couldn't help but bite her mouth, her face flushed with shame, and she slurred, "That...... That kind of thing, I ...... I...... How embarrassing ......"
"Is that not there?" Lilith chuckled playfully at Dia's shy expression.
Looking at Lilith hesitantly, Dia seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and whispered, "But I always feel that it's not good......"
"What's this, aren't you his man sooner or later?" Lily said nonchalantly, ignoring Dia's blushing face, "You're really, how long are you going to keep this situation ......going? Why are men of this type? Won't think about others? If you want me to say, you really should say your grievances to that guy in front of Soth......"
As if Lilith had said that it hurt her, Dia was shocked, bit her mouth, and said insincerely, "Actually...... Actually, it's not like that, Lavia...... Actually, people are still good......"
Lilith looked at Dia and shook her head helplessly, stepped forward and sat down beside her, and said angrily, "Stupid, feelings are self-sufficient, is it possible that you still want to share a man with other women?"
Dia lowered her head and was silent for a while, then shook her head and whispered to Lilith's stunned gaze, "I don't want Soth to be bothered by this if he ...... If he wishes that, I'll ...... I can live with ......"
"You ......" Lilith opened her mouth speechlessly, looked at Dia with a somewhat strange gaze, hugged her affectionately, stroked her show, and whispered, "You don't need to force yourself like this......"
"I didn't force myself......"
Glancing deeply at Dia, Lilith whispered with some inexplicable seriousness, "You...... Do you really like Soth's son?"
"Hmm!" Dia seemed to feel a little surprised, nodded as a matter of course, and then seemed to realize something, lowered her head with a little shyness, bit her lip and said, "Because, he said he needs me ......"
Strangely, when she heard this, Lilith's eyes showed a strange look.
"Is that all?"
"Huh?"
"No, it's nothing," Lilith took a deep breath, smiled a little, and said, "Say something happy, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to continue studying magic last time......?"
"Soth is too busy," Dia shook her head, sighed slightly, and muttered with a bit of loss, "I was busy with Vandel some time ago, and now I'm busy with Ryoox, and Vandor ...... Sometimes I wish I could help him, but unfortunately ......"
Lilith couldn't help frowning, as if she heard something, and couldn't help but ask, "He hasn't had any bsp;" No, he's just too busy, going out early every day and coming back late......"
"......" Lilith looked at Dia's eyes with a little inexplicable unbearability, her tone became a little inexplicable for a while, and she sneered and said, "These are men, they always live in their own world, we are just vassals in their lives, what qualifications do we have to instruct them what to do?"
"Huh?"
"Nothing ......"
In the evening, Lilith ordered a carriage to be prepared to send her good friend Dia back to Vandor, and then returned to her room alone, as if she had made some important decision.
The light in the room gradually dimmed, and in the corner of the wall, a pair of huge pale red eyes slowly opened......
"Haven't you found it yet? The origin of the man named Belial, Lilith?"
I saw a struggle flash in Lilith's eyes, and then, as if she had made a decision, she said in a deep voice, "That man...... Beria, that is...... Seven years from now, Wolmen G. Kleist!"
"What?" Hearing this, even the Ancient Will Ashmentis was shocked by this, and even his tone trembled.
He ...... That man had traveled through planes? He was able to planeswalk.
It's no wonder that the Ancient Will Ashmentis was so shocked, after all, being able to travel through time and space proves that he has the ability to shuttle through the low-dimensional planes, that is, the other party can enter the two-dimensional space where the Ancient Will is located and pose a threat to them.
After a moment of silence, the pale red eyes in the corner of the room flashed a few undisguised murderous intents, and then the deep voice of Amentis resounded throughout the room.
"Kill him...... Kill him! Lilith!"
"Even if you kill him, Beria won't disappear......"
"I know, but, that man Beria is bad news from the outside world, he hasn't been here for long, if what you're saying is true, then ...... Wolmen G. Kleist, for us is more troublesome than Beria...... Get rid of him!"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Lilith's eyes.
“...... I got it!"
