The Rise of the Cemetery

Klein Plane, Pilborn, the capital of the Principality of Novos.

The deep night looked a bit cold and cold under the light blue light curtain.

Regardless of whether you look up from anywhere in Pilbon, the first thing you see is not the two huge moon plates hanging high above the sky, but a magic shield that covers the sky and emits a faint fluorescence.

This is a large anti-evil enchantment.

Under its cover, any dark spell with negative energy as its core will cause the enchantment to shake and counteract as long as it takes shape.

Within the enchantment, lower-level necromancers below level 6 are directly deprived of their power to cast, while intermediate-level necromancers below level 11 are faced with up to 60% probability of casting failure, even high-level necromancers have 20%. The possible spellcasting fails. Only the Undead Great Sword Master of level 16 or higher can get rid of the anti-evil enchantment and interfere with normal casting.

Every night at ordinary Pilbon, noble areas, business districts, high-end consumer entertainment areas and other major streets are brightly lit, people are coming and going, and the carriages are crowded. However, with the clamor of the trail of the invasion of the undead on the dust, this noisy city that once sang and danced, and was drunk with gold was finally cold.

Pilbunt has imposed a curfew for nearly a month.

When the night is low and the stars are a little bit, the City Guards and the Tekken Knights will be dispatched in large numbers to closely guard the major intersections and important checkpoints of Pilbunt to guard against the terrible events that may happen at any time.

In some cities in the northeast of Novos, ghouls have attacked citizens, vampires have sneaked into aristocratic areas, undead corpses have created plagues ... and so on. This increasingly reduced the sense of security of the Nobles.

As a result, a large number of nobles dragged their families into Pilbon, praying for a peaceful life here.

Although the territory of the Principality of Novis is rich in resources and rich in resources, it is still somewhat weak in the control of extraordinary power. The official magistrates registered in the Principality are worth four or five hundred, and most of them are mainly low-level mages.

If such a number is placed in a city, it will of course greatly enhance the deterrent power of the city's magic power. However, if it is evenly distributed in more than 30 large and medium-sized cities and nearly 100 small and medium-sized towns in Novis, then some small towns in remote areas may not even have a formal mage.

This is the current reality of the Principality of Novis.

In many towns and small cities in the Principality, the most active are actually a large number of master apprentices who have gone out to experience. They are the only providers of spell power in these areas.

Borderline towns such as Blu-ray City and Deep Water City usually employ one or two mage apprentices to maintain the local letter tower, which is used to maintain basic magical communication with the above big city. And the consul needs more help from mercenaries and adventurers to maintain their normal rule.

However, this situation seems so thin and fragile in the face of the possible invasion of the Undead Council.

Now, in order to better resist the intrusion of the Necromancer, the Novice Masters Association has issued a conscript to concentrate all the mages in the limited core cities such as Thunder Fortress, Pilbon, and Valencia City. This has made the remaining cities weaker and more vulnerable.

It is precisely because of the strengthening of the Master's power, as the capital, Pilbont can support such a huge anti-evil border at night and become the most "safe" city in Novis.

Pierpont, whose night was low, seemed somber.

In the huge city, except for the bright lights in the streets and alleys around the streets, the rest of the city has fallen into the cold darkness.

At this time, the only people who could walk the streets were the heavily armed City Guard patrol and the Iron Fist Knights. Anyone who does n’t have a warrant from the Grand Ducal Palace and dares to step on the street after the curfew will be caught in prison without any explanation. There, there will be terrible torture officers waiting for them, welcoming them with a red hot iron and a water-soaked leather whip.

Inside the Grand Ducal Palace.

In the heavily guarded magical secret room, the old-looking Grand Duke Novis became thinner, sitting tremblingly on the throne, as if he might not fall down at the next moment.

In front of him, stood the young prince Antalia, the Secretary of the Army Gullit, the Minister of Finance Todd, and the Head of the Iron Fist Knight (Legendary). Although there are only four or five people, it is already the core person at the top of the entire ruling structure of the Principality of Novis.

But a little strange is that the 17th-level consultant mage who accompanied the Prince of Antalia all the year round was missing. Not even one of the guarding mage who walked intimately around Grand Duke Novis appeared in the chamber.

The walls around this secret room are covered with anti-detection and anti-prediction magic runes, and the operation of the defensive circle mainly depends on the magic crystal, which does not require the maintenance of the mage. This also made it easier for them to avoid the eyes and ears of the mage and discuss some taboo topics.

"Did you arrange everything for West Wyan?" Grand Duke Novis looked up at the young and cheerful Prince Antalia: "I don't want to cause their suspicion."

"It's all arranged." Antalia carefully calmed the excitement in her heart and replied calmly: "Tonight the Magic Tower detected abnormal magic fluctuations in the western suburbs of the city. I delegated him to learn more. The whole story is gone! "

West? Wyan is the advisory mage of Prince Antalia, level 17.

Although the two have lived together for ten years, but because of the taboo of talking about the topic today, the prince still has to carefully send him far away.

Grand Duke Novis nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around to inquire about Military Secretary Gullit and Finance Minister Todd.

"How are you two discussing with each other? What are the conditions they proposed?"

The Secretary of State Gullit went to approach the figures in the Justice Church. In the port of Ancona on the northwest coast of Novos, there is a temple of the Justice Church, in which the host is a primate (holy order).

The Finance Minister Todd approached the Chenguang Church. There is no shrine of the Morning Light Church in the Principality of Novos. He also sent his heart to the neighboring Kingdom of Seraion before he set up lines with the servants of these Morning Gods.

Under the direct threat of the undead natural disaster, the people of Novis also exhausted all means to save themselves. However, if you choose to surrender to the Mage Guild, you will inevitably drive out the church. Choosing the power of the church naturally rejects the existence of the mages.

Therefore, under the squandering head, the power of Novus ran around, wandering between the major forces, looking for the best solution that could not only save their lives but also their power.

Before determining the final target, Duke Novis neither wanted to offend one of the churches, nor was he willing to lose the powerful asylum force of the mage early, so the meeting and consultation tonight will undoubtedly avoid the attention of the casters.

Tonight's secret talk not only was the consultant mage of the Prince of Antalia taken away, but even the guarding mage of Grand Duke Novis stayed in the magic tower of the mage association for some special reasons.

...

At the moment when the power leaders of Novis gathered together to discuss in silence, a magical chamber in the tower of the magic tower half a mile away, several mages wearing red mages' robe were staring at the magic in front of them. The water mirror was silent.

The magic water mirror that appeared in the magic water mirror was the magical secret room where Grand Duke Novis and others were hiding. Although it is impossible to find out in detail what is being discussed, it is basically possible to determine the general content of the other party's conversation only by the other party's so secretive actions and such exclusion of the mage.

A red robe standing at the corner went to the teacher's eyebrows and good looks, and his face was condensed. It was the consultant mage West Wyan, who was thought by the prince of Antalia to think that it was far away. The other mage who hides his face in the shadow of the deep hood is the 19th-level Grandmaster who has served as the guardian of the Grand Duchess of Novos for nearly a hundred years to go to Gnard.

"A few of the people who participated in the meeting have already been determined?" The cold-faced Gennad squeezed out of his teeth.

"It has been determined that there are Gullit, Todd, and Finn. In addition to them, they are the old and the young of the Kestren family." The answer to the question was Andreas Dirasso at level 16, and his words China's disdain for the father and son of Navis also overflowed.

Since the only two legendary wizards in Novis are on the front line of the Thunder Fortress, the highest wizard that Pierbond can host the overall situation is only the 19th-level guardian wizard Gennad. However, it is clear that the 16th-level Andorra is the most trusted resident tower master of the Star Master, and at least his words and deeds represent the will of the Star Master Maggie.

"It seems that they are already on the line with the church. Can we inquire about their specific transaction with the church?" Gennad's words were cold and rigid.

As a protector of the country that has maintained Navis for nearly a hundred years, Gennad is still quite affectionate about this country. However, the situation in front of them clearly involved the mutual tumbling of the mage community and the church forces. Once they stood in the wrong team, they would want to gain a foothold in the Klein Continental mage in the future.

Don't look at the current Pilbont, it is Gennad who is in charge, but once he does something that violates the interests of the mage group, I am afraid that Andorra will send the small report to the star mage in minutes. So he could only keep his face cold and **** his heart and began to arrange corresponding countermeasures.

"I can do this for me. Antalia will definitely stay overnight in Pilbon tonight, and I can arrange for Louis to approach him." West sighed and took his life on himself.

Louis is the highest-level illusionist (13th level) of the Mage Association. He played a beautiful "dream-inducing technique", which is a good hand for tempting to make offerings. Moreover, the dream introduction technique will not cause any visible damage to the body of the subject. When the subject wakes up, he will only think that he had a dream, and never think that he has been invaded by the illusionist.

Now even West, the consultant mage of the Prince of Antalia, personally arranged to arrange, so that even the mana fluctuations caused by the launch of the dream introduction surgery do not have to worry about being noticed.

"Well, that's it!" Gennad nodded. "All our actions are to save Navis from this disaster. For this goal, all hazards that are not conducive to the situation need to be eliminated in advance. . As for how to choose the future path of Navis, I believe Lord Katieny will make the most correct decision! "

The mage silently.
