The Archmage's Tower, as the name suggests, is of course the Archmage's Magic Tower. The magic tower is the home of the mage, the mage's sanctuary, the research center, and the fortress, and every mage guild on the Vista continent has its own magic tower, and some of the high-ranking mages who have become famous and wealthy have also built their own magic towers, among which this one on the island of Fuitro is the center and sanctuary of all magic towers, mage guilds, and all mages. That's why it was given the name of the Tower of the Archmage.

The island of Foitlo is located in the ocean south of the mainland, and the distance between it and the nearest port is unusually high, and it would take a full two weeks for the fastest ships to reach it with a good wind, but distance has never been a problem for mages, archmage Fagui Yeman had come to the island many years ago with his disciple Aqiman, and now that he had grown up, Aqiman himself had received the title of archmage and stood in front of the waypoint on Foitlo Island.

Like most organizations in the world, the mages in the guild have different classes and titles. Whenever a person of any age, gender, or even race joins the ranks of mages, he automatically becomes a magic apprentice, and after a long or short period of time, he can be recognized as a mage after some tests that are not too difficult. And after achieving a certain amount of achievement, his title becomes that of a high-level mage, and there are two ways to reach the end of the mage's path, one is to support the juniors as much as possible, and devote more to the affairs of the guild, they will become mentors. The other focuses on the study of the mysteries of sorcery. And after all kinds of trials. The glorious title of Archmage will come upon him.

Archmage, Illusion High Mage, Plastic Energy High Mage and Necromantic High Mage, this is the title of the dungeon's archmage Aqiman, but necromantic magic has long been a taboo content in the Mage Guild, which is why Aqiman left the Archmage Tower many years ago. Whenever Aqiman thought about this, he unconsciously smiled bitterly, in the last three hundred years, he was the youngest one in the Mage Guild to hold the title of Archmage. But it was also the only one to be banished from the Tower of the Archmage.

"If I'm not mistaken, are you Archmage Archmage Archmage Falah?" an old female voice woke Akiman from her memories, and Akiman looked up just in time to see a short, red-robed figure standing in front of the towering Archmage's Tower. "And if I'm not mistaken, you've been declared persona non grata, which bothers me considerably. ”

Aqiman hurriedly bent down, he had already recognized the dwarf in front of him, she was the Mentor and Archmage Amy - of course, it was not her dwarf name, in terms of knowledge of illusion. No one on the continent of Vestal can match her, the leader of a mage's guild in a distant dwarf realm. "Dear Ms. Amy, I'm glad to see you better than you were back then, especially after all these years. It's an honor that you can easily recognize me. Aqiman replied cautiously, "Well, is it up to you to guard the Archmage's Tower this year?" ”

"There are only about fifty mage guilds on the Vesta continent, and I will naturally have a turn to guard the door this year. The dwarf mage looked Aqiman up and down: "But it seems that my luck is not very good, and with the forbidden sign you wear, I really can't put you in the archmage's tower, although your mouth is still as sweet as it was back then." ”

"This, the sign......" Without thinking, Aqiman removed the crystal skull symbolizing his identity as a necromancer from his waist and threw it into the grass by the side of the road, "If this is the sign that stopped me at the door, I think, I can go in now, right?"

The dwarf mage rolled her eyes, and it was clear that she had no idea that Aqiman would throw away his own logo so easily: "I'm glad you finally threw away that ugly thing, I think your teacher would be very happy." However, according to the Guild's regulations, you should also go to the Guild's office to submit an application and cancel your persona non grata status......"

"No need. He was still imbued with the power of necromancy, and all he had lost was the useless sign. Sue sù this persona non grata and leave the island of Fuitlo immediately. At this moment, another voice came from the archmage's tower, interrupting the dwarf Amy, who then spread out his hands to Aqiman and made a helpless gesture, and the voice continued his words: "It was only three minutes before he disappeared into this island, and this was also the time when the tower guard came to him. ”

The Tower Guards, a kind of constructed creature that specializes in guarding the Archmage's Tower, they have unparalleled strength, and extremely high magic resistance, Aqiman has heard rumbling footsteps in the distance, but Aqiman doesn't care about it: "Is it Your Excellency the President of the Mage Guild? I have no malicious intentions here, and I have no intention of trespassing, my purpose is to go to the library in the Archmage's Tower to find a book, which is something commissioned by a god." ”

"The commission of the gods? It seems that the young man has mixed well over the years. When the dwarf mage heard Aqiman's words, a smile appeared on his face: "I wonder if Your Excellency the President should come out for a while, if he is really commissioned by some god to come." ”

The footsteps in the distance stopped, and Aqiman believed that his words had had an effect, and a puff of smoke suddenly rose on the floor between the archmage and the dwarf Amy, and a one-armed man appeared in front of the two of them: "God, evil necromancer, if you can't produce enough evidence to prove what you said, I vouch in the name of the president of the Mage Guild and will never let you go." ”

Aqiman put away the smiling face he had just faced the dwarf mage, turned to a sneer, and took out a flower from his pocket: "The flowers that grow in the temple have their special brilliance, unless they are blind, everyone should know, unless they are commissioned by this god, the gods will never allow mortals to pick these flowers." ”

The one-armed man gritted his teeth and stared at Aqiman: "What a necromancer would do, even the gods can't say. I do not accept this evidence. You. Get out of here now!"

"But that's it...... I can feel the power of the gods emanating from this black flower. The dwarf mage looked at the flower in Aqiman's hand: "Perhaps, Your Excellency, we should respect the will of the gods......

"No, I will not trust this man, not even ......," the one-armed man cried out, but was interrupted by Akiman's cold tone.

"You may not believe me, in fact I will never expect your trust, will, long, cabinet, down. But don't you believe in a god? I admire your courage, will, long, cabinet, down. Aqiman said, with a look of contempt on his face, and walked up to the one-armed man step by step, holding up the black flower shrouded in milky white brilliance to the one-armed man: "Are you really not going to let me in, will, long, pavilion, down?"

"The world is divided into seven layers, and seven huge dragons hold the continent parallel from top to bottom with their claws, and these dragons bear little resemblance to the dragons we usually see, except for the scales that cover their bodies, the dragons that support the earth may be more like a snake, but they have four claws, a mouth and a beard, and their horns may be more like deer antlers. ”

"The gods who dwell in the top levels tell me that these dragons that support the earth are the creators of the Vestal continent. The oldest gods, including the oldest, are the sons and daughters of these dragons. The eldest of the dragons were Ava and Xor, the current mother of the gods and the gods of demons. When they started. Living in the middle of the seven continents, which is now inhabited by humans, Ava and Keso became the lords of the earth after the old dragon became the pillar of the earth, and they had a total of four children, these ancient gods together created a qiē of the Vesta continent, but not the humans. Among the children of Ava and Xso, Moradin created the dwarf, Corellon Larys created the elf, Samia created the halfling, and the orc was the creation of the Geush. ”

"These new races of the Vestal continent got along very well in the beginning. But Ava and Xer's creation brought chaos to the continent of Vista by gathering the tenacity of the dwarves, the agility of the elves, the intelligence of the halflings, and the strength of the orcs, and finally created the humans, a race that the gods thought was the most perfect and closest to the gods. However, they were disappointed. Humans are proud from birth because they are born with the virtues of other races, and as the years go by, a fatal weakness arises in them, and that is greed. ”

"Greedy humans are attacking other races. At this point, the only argument between Ava and Quesso broke out: Ava, who loves order, believes that humanity should be destroyed completely, while Cutso, who is chaotic by nature, wants to keep the situation as it is. The quarrel between the two oldest gods continued for thousands of years, until their youngest daughter, Lana, felt they couldn't take it anymore. The goddess Lana declares that she will bring humans under her protection, of course, not all humans, and Ava and Xel have also grown tired of the endless bickering, and they each leave the continent of Vista with the humans who follow them, leaving only ordinary people with good and evil, order and chaos qualities, and the four children of the goddess Lana have become the main gods of these ordinary people, they are Sumer, the god of life, Dies, the god of death, Murat, the goddess of fate, and Lina, the goddess of the earth. ”

Ava led her followers to the top of the nightless and the second level, which were called the Supreme Heaven and the Celestial Realm, respectively, and the followers of the so-called Celestials and Protoss, while the followers of Krso followed Khso to the sixth and seventh realms of the eternal light, where they became demons and demons. ”

Archmage Aqiman closed the heavy book in front of him and began to fall into deep thought, a book on the gods and history of the Vestal continent written by an ancient archmage who believed that the great elder was still continuing his never-ending journey in some time and space. "Genealogy of the gods, why the hell did that 'Dreadnought Rhodes' want me to read this book?" the Archmage muttered to himself unconsciously, claiming that Rhodes the Fearless, one of the bravest warriors beside Dice, the god of death and slumber, told him that this book contained information about the Lich Gyus, and the world where there were only necromants, but the Archmage had flipped the book three times from beginning to end, and had not found any clues about the necromantic world.

"That undesirable hasn't left yet, and I want to go into the library to find a book." Some whispers drifted in through the crack in the door. This kind of unkind rhetoric made Akiman want to spit on the ground. But there was nothing to spit on, and the carpet of the library was clinging to a number of goblins who were responsible for cleaning the Archmage's Tower. When something deliberately dirty or something happens, these leprechauns are annoying.

But the whisper outside the door continued: "Who let him in, he and he don't belong to this place." The necromancer should go back to his tomb and be with the skeletons and zombies. ”

Aqiman sneered, but didn't react, "It doesn't belong to this place at all"? How can the Lich Gyis and his necromantic army belong to this world? That necromantic world doesn't belong to any of the seven continents, the archmage is very sure of this. So, that's the answer, right? The gods want to rid the lich that doesn't belong in this world, and the army of necromancy, as well as the world of the dead. The gods have no other hope than to destroy it.

The archmage of the dungeon closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair quietly. It would have been too fuss and boring for the gods to direct him to read such a thick book in the Tower of the Archmage, for even without the will of the gods, every creature on this continent would one day be drawn into a battle with the army of the dead. The archmage knew this very well when the gods spoke and did things, but at this moment he could not guess what the gods wanted to say to him, or what he had to do.

The archmage sighed and opened the book in front of him again. While secretly cursing the god who made him waste his time here, he hoped that he would find more clues by flipping through this time, but this time he still found nothing, but it made the archmage's understanding of necromantic creatures and necromancers go further.

Necromantic creatures are not the creations of the gods. Usually a creature ends its life later. His soul would rise to the astral realm shrouded beyond the seven-level continent, where every soul would be asleep, waiting for the day when it would be projected onto the continent again to begin a new phase of their life. However, one day, the soul of a dead mage did not return to the astral plane, but stayed on the mainland, the soul of this dead mage retained the magic and wisdom of his life, and he finally succeeded in creating a shell for himself through thousands of years of repeated attempts, and he became the ancestor of the lich, and the repeated attempts of the lich produced many failed experiments, and these experiments have been handed down to the current various necromantic creatures.

Necromantic creatures are not the creation of any gods, they have no life and certainly do not receive the favor of any gods; Seeing this, Archmage Aqiman suddenly remembered something he had always overlooked, among the eight major factions of arcane magic, only necromantic magic is the best weapon against necromantic creatures, and even the divine skills of priests and paladins are far less effective and thorough than necromantic magic;

The archmage smirked to himself, he had no idea that he would one day become such an important person, so he closed the book in front of him and prepared to put it back in its place. Another pamphlet caught the eye of the archmage, the same person who wrote the same book in his hand, another book written by the great mage: "On the Creation and Destruction of Space", and the eyes of the archmage of the dungeon began to glow.

This world is divided into seven layers, the continent of Vista inhabited by humans is the so-called surface world in the middle, and the underground world occupied by many creatures living in the darkness under the ground. The question of how many regions the Underworld is divided into is the same as how big this world is.

In the underworld, there is a region called Thorzedon, the capital of the Thorzedon region is the city of Duran, the original ruler of Duran City was also known as the dark elves of Drow, and now the city of Duran, and the entire region of Sozedon is occupied by the necromantic creatures, and the leader of the necromantic creatures is the lich Gyeth.

No one can tell the total number of Drow Elves who used to live in the Thornton region due to the fact that the world of the Drow Elves is flooded with sneak attacks and assassinations almost all the time, but it is no easier to count their numbers now, because all the Drow Elves in the Thorzedon region are now gathered in a castle, and this is the only castle that has not fallen into the hands of the Lich: Iron River City of the Black Iron Dwarves.
