Arcane Age

Through a dark purple portal, Sid and Xiwei have appeared in the Bone Burial Ground. This plane is located in the lower layer of the multidimensional plane, under the endless Styx.

The Endless River Styx is the final destination of all souls in the Oriente universe. The souls of every deceased person are washed here and eventually perish, turning into the most basic soul medium. Finally, new souls are recombined at the end of the Endless River Styx, and then enter into diversity. Within the plane, this is a balanced cycle.

However, the rise of the Necromancer has destroyed this cycle in a sense. The souls of the dead no longer return to the endless river of Styx, but continue to live as undead. As the first magic master in human history, Bardes spent a lot of time exploring those wrong paths due to the blankness of early magic theory. In the end, he was unable to enter the legendary realm. The fire of life also burned to the end and almost dimmed. .

In this almost desperate situation, Bardes discovered the Boneyard plane. This plane is like the bed of the endless Styx, where the remains of a large number of powerful creatures from ancient times are buried, as well as the remains of their souls that have not been completely extinguished. fire.

Bardes made a deal with several of the powerful undead creatures, and he rescued them from this dilemma of immortality. Bardes also obtained the secrets about souls and death, transforming himself into Ou The first lich in the world of Lunt, he created necromancy and eventually developed the school of necromancy, which became the legend of the Third Law.

However, this kind of magic that desecrates souls and corpses was soon regarded as blasphemy against the Lord of Radiance by the Lord of Radiance Church, and launched the most targeted attack and purification. The Necromancy School, which had just begun to flourish, was severely damaged. Bardes I was killed three times by the Pope and Saints of the Lord of Glory, but his soul phylactery was always well preserved and he was resurrected every time.

In the end, Bardes gave up his plan to develop in Orrent, summoned all the necromancers to enter the Boneyard plane, and transformed the entire plane. Two ancient legendary undead creatures from the Boneyard plane also agreed. And joined Bardes' organization, and together they created the huge city of the Dead.

If the dream plane of the mind gives people the impression of a dreamy interweaving of black and white, like the simplicity and mystery of a black and white movie, then the Bone Burial Ground gives people the impression of deathly silence and depression. This place belongs to Orrente. A holy place for the dead, and Bardes is their king.

The basic species of undead creatures are mainly divided into two types. One is flesh and bones, such as skeleton soldiers and flesh puppets, and the other is spirits, resentful spirits and ghosts. Both of these two undead creatures only have the most basic Instinct, that is, resentment towards the living and the desire to kill.

Xi Wei also saw many high-level undead units along the way, such as death knights with full body armor, huge war machine-like puppet abominations, and skeletal vultures flying in the sky.

The necromancers are Bardes' truly most trusted subordinates, and they are also the center and nerve of the entire army of the dead. The army of the dead is controlled and commanded by these necromancers. Although they possess negative energy, they still have Most of them belong to humans, and only a small number of the most profound and ancient necromancers can be transformed into lichs. Each lich has at least the level of a magic master.

Along the way, Xi Wei's mood became more and more depressed. The number of the army of the dead far exceeded his original expectation. Just the part shown near the Capital of the Dead already exceeded 100,000, and not counting the number of soldiers. The lowest level zombies and skeletons.

It seems that Bardes has long been prepared to set off an undead craze, and these undead armies that show off their power and openness should also be to frighten other participants in the Dark Council.

Bardes convened this dark council and sent out a lot of invitations. Xi Wei met the demons in the endless abyss, as well as the dark elves in the underdark, the mind flayer elders, the shadow trickster, vampires, and others. There were powerful creatures from multiple planes, some of which even Xi Wei couldn't name.

The opening hours of the space beacon on the ground of the Bone Burial Ground were very short, so almost all the guests arrived at once. Bardes also sent a large number of cronies and subordinates to entertain each guest respectively, and those who received Schiller and Xiwei were A lich, his whole body exuded an icy cold light, and his whole body was floating in the air.

Xi Wei opened the real magic eye, and the core of the lich's power in front of him gathered in his brain, but that was not all. There was also a strange dark line leading to an unknown mysterious place far away.

Xi Wei knew clearly that this hidden line should point to the lich's soul phylactery. This near-immortal skill is famous even in the multi-dimensional world of Oriente. This famous name is none other than the immortal king Bardes. It was forged after three consecutive deaths under the divine punishment of the Lord of Glory, the Pope and the Saints.

Dear Lord Schiller, 'The White Crow Covers the Sun', welcome you to attend the founding meeting of the Dark Parliament. King Bardes is very happy that your old friend can come. Our strength has grown even stronger! The meeting will be held tomorrow Convened, you can move freely in most areas of the City of the Dead. The Lich introduced very politely and handed over a contact crystal: Just call me Black. During the meeting, if you have any questions or requests Anyone can come to me.

Schiller and Xiwei were arranged to live in a very luxurious and huge hotel. Xiwei noticed that almost all the guests were accommodated here, and the meeting would not be held until tomorrow, which meant that Bardes was full of confidence. It gives everyone an opportunity to connect privately.

After explaining the precautions, Lich Black floated away. Schiller and Xiwei looked at each other and immediately searched the room. After confirming that there were no magic circles or restrictions, they breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip to the Dark Parliament was quite stressful. No matter which force he saw, the leader was at least a legendary powerhouse. There were several powerful demons and monsters. Even Xi Wei did not dare to open the real magic eye to take a closer look. Observation, but the monstrous flames on their bodies proved that they at least had the strength close to that of the Holy Realm.

It's really almost here! Schiller said with a wry smile: What I know is that almost all the powerful dark forces in the entire multidimensional plane have sent their representatives. Two of the seven demon kings of the endless abyss have appeared. It seems that this time the Dark Council is likely to reach a consensus quickly.
