The streets of Handler City were not as messy and dirty as Donnie imagined, filled with rotting corpses. On the contrary, they were clean and wide, with many pedestrians coming and going.
However, the bustling streets that should have been lively and noisy were very quiet. Almost no one was making any noise, and even the communication between each other was as light as mosquitoes and flies. It was as if there was a strange power here to suppress the noise.
After taking a closer look, Downey discovered that most of the "pedestrians" coming and going were undead creatures. There were corpse dogs with eyes glowing with a strange red light, "skinless people" whose skin had been peeled off to reveal their flesh and blood, and there were also common ghosts, Zombies and skeletons.
Of course, among these undead creatures, there were also necromancers wearing dark black magic robes passing by. Most of them were not as gloomy and rigid as Donnie imagined. They talked with the same smiles and smiles as their companions around them, but their voices were different. They are all pressed down relatively low.
"It's a pity that there are no lichs" Downey sighed with emotion in a low voice.
In Handler City, Sami seemed to be in particularly good spirits. Although he still looked sleepy, at least he didn't yawn frequently anymore. He rubbed his messy hair that looked like a bird's nest and said with a smile: "Lich Most gentlemen don¡¯t like shopping¡¡±
It should be said that they basically have no desire in this regard Donnie sideways passed by a hellhound with three heads. It was tall and strong, with blazing flames flowing from the corners of its mouth, but it was wearing a collar around its neck and was being held by a man. The petite female magician pulled her and ran slowly in front of her.
"This hellhound is about the same size as a bull" After the female magician left, Donnie couldn't help but say, the contrast in figure was too great.
Sami chuckled and said, "Yesterday I saw a Mr. Lich walking a bone dragon in the air. It was almost as big as a hundred hellhounds."
He arrived in Hyder City yesterday and temporarily lives at No. 152 Ghoul Street. Students waiting to arrive today will head to the academy together.
"It's awesome." Donnie looked at the sky with envy. At this time, they had reached Ghoul Street. The magic tower that reached into the sky made people unable to ignore its existence.
Suddenly, an ivory-colored skull floated out. There are two needle-like red lights in the eye sockets, which are strange and unique. His two rows of teeth open and close up and down, and he makes a harsh sound without fluctuation: "All freshmen gather and go to the academy. Those who arrive later will wait for the day after tomorrow."
The sound was unpleasant, as if someone was scraping the bones with a rusty iron tool. Donnie shuddered slightly and walked into the hall to gather with Sammy.
"Show your admission letter and the identity mark inside." Before Downey could stand still, an expressionless man came over. His face was sallow, with blood vessels clearly exposed, and his eyes were the same as those of a lich. Needle-like red awn.
Downey quickly took out the admission letter and a black beetle: "Yes. Teacher."
"Call me Mr. Robert." The man's voice was strangely gentle and mellow. When he looked at the black beetle, a faint red light seemed to be reflected on it, "Well, Donnie, there is no need to apply for accommodation. Just follow us. Academy.¡±
Finished. He returned the admission letter and the beetle to Downey, paused and said, "It just so happens that I am one of the tutors in the field of body structure and genetics. I hope you will not let down your current results and foundation."
After a while, Sami looked at Robert who had walked to the other side of the hall, and whispered: "It is said that Mr. Robert is very close to a high-level person. Well, his body has been modified many times by himself, and no one knows about him. What special abilities does the body have?¡±
"Well, Mr. Robert put a lot of pressure on me" In the cold environment of Handler City. Downey also broke out in a cold sweat, then followed Sammy's gaze to Robert, and saw him stopped in front of the live broadcast screen in the hall, staring intently at the funny entertainment program inside, with a suspicious look on the corner of his mouth. Smiling expression.
¡°¡I never thought that Mr. Robert, with a dead face, would also like to watch TV¡¡± Downey said with a slightly shocked expression.
Sami looked at him confusedly: "Can't you watch TV if you have a dead face?"
"Uh" Donnie was defeated by Sammy. He quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to the academy right away. I heard that the academy is not in the city, but in a mysterious place?"
Sami nodded seriously: "I heard it is a very suitable place for the necromancy system."
When the two of them talked about this matter, they both became very curious and wondered where it was. Could it be inside a giant tomb?
After a while, the ivory-colored lich flew back and continued to say in that ugly voice: "Follow me closely and don't get lost. Once you get lost, I will assume that you are dead by default and will not go back." Look for."
These words made Donnie's heart skip a beat, even though Sammy was so confused and slow.Everyone's eyes widened, and the entire team became extremely silent.
Following the lich, Downey and others passed through Ghoul Street, through Soul Avenue, through Brain Square, and arrived at a building that looked no different from other magic towers.
"This is the academy?" Downey looked at the magic tower in front of him with a little disappointment.
The lich stopped and floated in front of the door of the magic tower, chanting a hoarse, ugly, simple and difficult incantation.
A layer of shadow emerged from the patterned rocks on the ground, spread and grew, and soon covered the door, making it dark and deep, and the surface shook gently.
"Follow me." The Lich ordered coldly, without opening the door, he went directly into the shadows and disappeared.
This weirdness made Donnie and Sammy hold their breath again. They followed the apprentice in front slightly nervously, not knowing where the shadow would lead.
Unfortunately, no matter how slowly they moved, they still reached the "Shadow Gate". With a gritted teeth, Donnie stepped in.
The body seemed to be immersed in the depths of the lake, feeling dull and depressing. It was the feeling of almost drowning as a child. Then, Downey felt his body light up and came out of the "water". The front of him was black and white and gray.
This is a messy and decaying city. Apart from the monotonous black, white and gray, there is no color at all. Even the wind is frozen in the air, like a quiet and strange sketch.
Donnie looked at the sky in shock, only to see that it was as gray and dim as Handler City, but the sun could no longer be seen!
Basic knowledge about the alien space quickly emerged in Downey's mind. He loudly said to the stunned Sammy next to him: "The world of the dead!"
But. After blurting out the words, Downey didn't hear even a single sound. Everything was so quiet, like the eternal darkness and sleep.
It was indeed the world of the dead, Tangny breathed out. The body has the "illusion" of gradually decaying. Only here can be said to be the most suitable place for the necromancy system. However, I heard that it is very dangerous here. Even high-level magicians may die. After all, there are no intelligent undead creatures. It doesn't matter what your background is. What kind of force they belong to, and whether their family has money, they are only full of desire for fresh flesh and blood.
"Follow me, repeat again, don't get lost." The lich didn't know what spell he used, and his voice sounded in everyone's heart.
Donnie patted the stunned Sammy next to him. He followed the Lich alertly and attentively, fearing that he would break away from the team and face the tide of undead creatures alone in the undead world.
After passing through the silent "city", the team entered a desolate wilderness, filled with wandering ghouls with rotten faces and hideous expressions. It seems that I can "smell" the unspeakable stench.
And further away, there are many semi-fuzzy ghosts floating in the air, their bodies transforming into black robes.
Such an environment and such a scene made the ghost behind Sammy get excited, hold his head high, let out a silent scream, raise his hands high, and wave them back and forth vigorously.
hehe. Donnie looked at this scene with amusement, and Sami shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, the gray sky became dark, as if it was dyed with a layer of black, no. That's not black, but ghosts gathering from all directions!
They also let out silent screams and flew toward Sami overwhelmingly. The terrifying pressure, strong breath of death, and majestic sight scared many apprentices to weak legs. Is this a natural disaster of the undead?
Donnie's body trembled slightly, and he grabbed Sammy and signaled him to quickly stop the ghost behind him.
At this time, the lich in front let out a cold snort, and a black curtain appeared out of thin air, covering everyone.
When the shady scene disappeared, Downey realized that he and others had gone deep into the wilderness, far away from the previous "ghost army".
"Take care of your ghost." The Lich said coldly.
"Yes, sir." Sammy replied with a trembling voice, while the ghost behind him curled up its "limbs" and hugged a ball, like a frightened child, and seemed to be still crying silently.
Donnie glanced at the ghost with a dumbfounded look. Were you also frightened by the "ghost army"? You just almost turned us all into ghouls.
Not long after dragging the weak-limbed Sami forward, Donnie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a magnificent city appearing in the solidified world of black and white, with magic towers with black, silver or pure white spiers inside. It shows extra colors, and there is a rare overpass between the magic towers, which connects all directions, complex and exquisite.
Around the city, there is a quiet cemetery, filled with dense tombs and black tombstones inserted slantly.??
"The tombstone stuck at an angle" Donnie was startled inwardly.
After passing through this cemetery, Downey and others arrived at the edge of the city under the leadership of the Lich. When they passed the city gate that was dozens of meters high, the feeling of solidification and depression suddenly disappeared, and the friendly voice sounded in their ears again. His voice sounded like he had suddenly returned from the realm of the dead to the realm of the living.
"Everyone, you have also seen that without the leadership of high-level mentors, you cannot leave here. Therefore, you can only study and research hard and hard. Those who lag behind every year will not be able to go home. Well, welcome When you come to Heidler Magic Academy, please use your identity stamp and admission letter to receive the academy's robe and badge, and then go to your dormitory according to the logo in the badge." After the lich finished speaking, he disappeared.
Donnie took the frightened Sammy and Ghost and received the academy's black magic robe and "Pale Flame" badge from the magic tower nearby. He asked for directions while walking towards his dormitory.
When he was about to reach the dormitory, Sami exhaled and rubbed his hair: "The world of the dead is really scary. It scared me to death just now"
While speaking, he pushed open the door, and then froze on the spot, blocking Donnie's view behind him.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, we went to the wrong place! Sammy stammered and bent down to apologize.
Downey subconsciously looked up at the house number: "'No. 202, Tower of Life, Origin District, that's right."
