[Rebirth Fantasy] Seven Dragons

In the faint mist, countless sharp buildings with a height of more than ten meters are row upon row, scattered and orderly, and pyramids and obelisks can be seen everywhere.The style of the entire city is simple and plain, only the huge spider goddess logo in the center of the city is gorgeous and dazzling, exuding a faint emerald green light.

After living in this city for some time, Mesaka likes the quiet and elegant cool colors of Horace.

"Saka's level of refinement of arithmetic is really amazing."

The one who was talking to Mesaka was a female necromancer, Constanley.A few days ago, Berkes had been going out to deal with affairs, and now he just came back and asked someone to call Messaka to the meeting hall for a talk.Probably in order to show respect and gratitude, after all, Mesaka provided great help to Horace in the Land of Bones, and even almost died. Ms. Constanley, an idle senior executive of Horace, was arrested as a coolie. Invite mesa cards.

Along the way, both of them belong to the kind of people who are very good at speaking according to the atmosphere, and they are very skilled in interpersonal conversations. When they get together, they will naturally not have awkward silences, and they can be called having a happy conversation.On the way, Constanley occasionally mentioned a wrong formula in her current experiment. Mesaka is very good at this aspect, and happened to know the correct algorithm, so she casually mentioned it to Constanley.

Both of them are legendary mages, and the calculation speed of their brains is terribly fast. Almost only at the moment of listening, Constanley verified in her heart that Messaka's deduction was correct.In addition to being amazed, Constanley and Messaka had some exchanges on the research of arithmetic, and Messaka's talent in this aspect naturally made Constanley amazed.

Mesaka has also heard of this dignified and beautiful woman.

When she was a human being, Constanley was already a dark mage with the strength of the legendary realm. The dark law she mastered could even create an artificial night, and the range was so wide that it could cover a capital-level city.In fact, the Raven Principality had this powerful female mage perform it once in the capital, Raventop City, on a National Day.

The fresh and exciting feeling of covering the sky and suddenly turning from day to night made those nobles in Raven Kingdom who pursue excitement and pleasure feel amazed.Of course, both the lady Constanley and the Raven Kingdom were condemned by the Holy Griffon Empire afterwards.But neither cares.From this point of view, this seemingly soft beauty is also a bold figure.

As for how this Ms. Constanley became a necromancer and whether she mastered the law of death, these mesakas are unknown.

Followed by Constanley's side, walked towards the meeting hall on the east side of the Helaishi Center. respect of the author.

In this regard, Ms. Constanley smiled and introduced to Mesaka: "If Sacca is willing to give lectures in the auditorium, he will soon gain our respect from the bottom of his heart."

Mesaka nodded and smiled, "There must be a chance."

Lectures in the auditorium are those necromancers who have mastered the law of death in Horace, telling others about their own opinions and thinking about death.Although the law cannot be passed on, it can make people around you gain some insights in this way.

And it's not like other races who cherish themselves behind closed doors and only teach them to their students or apprentices.Helaishi's proposition is more open. Anyone who is in Helaishi can attend the lecture, even if the special envoys of other countries stay here due to official business, they can attend the lecture.Messaka has given lectures and listened to them many times.

In addition to the lectures given by these legendary powerhouses on the law of death, necromancers can often be seen debating each other in the auditorium. In fact, it is not just in the auditorium, you can often see a few necromancers talking together in a low and fast manner. If there is something, it is very likely that they are discussing and debating each other.Necromancers are mostly soul thinkers, philosophers, and seekers of wisdom and awareness.

It's just that they are not used to mixing too excited emotions in their own discourses, and the soothing and peaceful tone makes it difficult for outsiders to think that it will be a debate.

Helaishi's conference hall also maintains their simple and restrained style, and the surroundings are simply decorated with painted reliefs of the spider goddess and spiders. In the entire stepped hall, there is an open space at the front and bottom, and there is a platform. The seats are full.

There is also a small conference hall in the next room, Mesaka remembers that it was converted into the office of the Thirteen Councilors later.And right now, Berks was inside.

It seems to be dealing with business. After all, it is a city. Even if the city of Horace is quiet and cold, there are still some things to be busy when it still has relations with the outside world and the citizens have pursuits.

With the arrival of Messaka and Constanley, Berks stood up, and said in his unique voice that made people feel at ease and quiet, and made people willing to listen: "Good day, Your Majesty Saka, thank you for your kind words. Everything Horace did."

"Good day, Mr. Berkes." Mesaka responded politely.

In fact, this is the first time the two have met in ample time.Whether it was the previous battlefield with the Land of Bones, or the last time when Mesaka was seriously injured and presented the standard equipment to Messaka Helles, and when he invited Messaka to join Helles, the meeting between the two seemed a bit hasty .

Horace's sky is always foggy.After all, most of the city residents who have been transformed into the undead don't like the strong sunlight very much, and an artificial fog is shrouded in the sky of Helaishi to weaken the sunlight.

In the meeting hall, Berkes and Messaka were talking about the current situation. Perhaps because of the fact that Horace occupied a territory in the Land of Bones, the Holy Griffon Empire was suspicious. This is completely wrong with Horace in terms of belief The powerful empire of China has recently frequently made changes against Helaishi.

"...In recent years, the temperament of the holy emperor has become more and more extreme. Whether it is the substantial increase of the empire's army every year, or the expansion of the combat personnel under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, there is no exception. It indicates that the holy emperor is not willing to be lonely... In recent years, it has become more difficult for necromancers from other parts of the mainland to come to Helaishi by themselves, even if we High-level necromancers were sent out to pick up those poor children from all over the mainland, but it was just a drop in the bucket...

Not long ago, because our dynamics in the Land of Bones touched the sensitive nerves of those guys in the Inquisition, they persecuted humans who practiced undead spells more obviously and seriously... I even heard that some places began to preach We are the minions of the evil Hell Devil... It's a total face-to-face posture..."

Unlike other worlds, the Ashan world has not experienced disasters such as the undead natural disasters, and it has only been ten years since the necromancers broke away from the silver city-state as a magic sect.Even the emergence of necromancy, so far, is only a hundred years old.Therefore, the necromancy genre does not have much reputation in the world of Ashan. The attitude of the holy court towards Helaishi and the necromancers before was mostly dissatisfaction and disgust, and it has not yet reached the point of hatred or even complete elimination of them.

The origin of necromancy has a deep connection with the Seventh Dragon Sar-Ailang.The most talented follower of Sa Ellen is Sa Shaza, who is the oldest member of the magician senate named "Nine Rings" in the silver city-state.

Sa-Shaza himself had another gifted student, Berkes.

After Sa-Ailan became the seventh dragon as a mage, the magic world in the world of Ashan was full of vitality.A great deal of magic is cast, used for creation and experimentation.While Berkes is a magician, he is also a thinker and philosopher.What attracted him was the law and the way of death—is death inevitable for all of us? Will we all die? Where does the soul go? What ends with death and what And the beginning?--Berkes began to pay less and less attention to the knowledge imparted by his mentor Sa-Shaza, and instead focused on his own thinking and research.

By chance, Berkes found an ancient manuscript.It was part of the anthology of "Apocalypse of the Seventh Dragon" written by Sa Ellen. The chapter Berkes found talked about necromancy, immortal soul power, and Asha's little-known, few believers. one side.

Although this aspect of Asha is the most obscure and frightening, Berkes is struck by this all-encompassing, reincarnating Asha.

This goddess Asha, who created the world bearing her own name, is all aspects of the wheel of existence, the three-faced goddess of birth, fate and death.

She is a girl without a face, the messenger of fate, weaving the course of every life stitch by stitch. Although invisible, she guides all creatures to discover the value of their own existence.

She is the mother of all things, and all things are her creatures and children.Through the process of childbirth, she made chaos visible and potential possible.

She is the old, wizened hag who, at the end of time, wields the scythe with withered hands, and cuts the web of life.

The page of "Apocalypse of the Seventh Dragon", which is destined to be read by Berkes, points out that the third side of Asha is the most powerful, dominating the actions of the other two sides.With magical rituals and revelations from manuscripts, Berkes has compiled two elements that influenced the development of the Necromancer.

One is that the image of Asha is a spider, constantly weaving the web of life.When a life's deadline comes, the spider will end its life by biting off the thread of fate.

The second is an obsession with another way of being.Death is not an end, but only a transition.The body always has trivial needs and desires, while the heart produces destructive emotions, and the irrational decisions of the mind will cause a lot of right and wrong and disputes--and death, this will be the purest and most stable existence obtained after extreme simplification. form of existence is the solution to all these problems.

Berkes attracted more and more people to participate in the study of undead spells with his ideas that many mages admired, and Berkes became the first person in history to touch the death law of the main plane. After the necromancer, the necromancer school was officially established.

However, the good times didn't last long. In the Seven Cities Alliance of the Magic Kingdom, the predecessor of the Silver City, the research and understanding of "Apocalypse of the Seventh Dragon" made the necromancers more and more different from other traditional wizards. , by the end even completely to the left.

On one side are the necromancers, who firmly believe that this small part of the text is the core and essence of Asha's teachings, and the rest are dead ends, or deliberately used to confuse right and wrong, and a trap for the careless and gullible; The other side believes that this part of the text must be only a small part of the broader truth, and the necromancers who are obsessed with this small part of Asha's teachings have undoubtedly missed Asha's original intention and purpose.

This huge difference in thinking, as well as the growing influence of the necromancers on the magic council, finally attracted the suspicion of other wizards of the Seven Cities Alliance, and carried out large-scale persecution against the necromancers.

The necromancers were used by other factions to play with the dead and desecrate the rest of the dead, their laboratories were sealed up, their private property was confiscated, and they were expelled from the Seven Cities Federation-but this is not true for other schools of the Seven Cities Federation It is not an easy task for the wizards.Because in the past few decades, the undead genre has grown into an extremely powerful force.

The dissatisfied necromancers gave up the idea of ​​shopping with the Seven Cities Alliance under the comfort of their "father of the dead" Berks, and the necromancers headed by Belsk fought with the Seven Cities Federation for a long time In the end, the necromancers who got a large amount of money and resources took the initiative to separate from the Seven Cities Federation and began their three-year wandering journey.

In the end, in the [-]th year of the Seven Dragons, they came to this dead and desolate peninsula in the southeastern part of the mainland, and established their own kingdom of the undead-Helaishi.

In the same year, the Alliance of Seven Cities also officially changed its name to the Silver City-State.
