The Rise of the Cemetery

Brayland is an ancient country with a long history and inheritance. Geographically, it is also located in the central core area of ​​the Klein Continent. It has a large area of ​​carefully cultivated fields and is the most fertile area in all the countries.

Because it is the kingdom of mages, walking here, you can see mage towers almost anywhere.

Some stand in the core area of ​​a big city, maintaining the safety of the location as a public facility; some are located in a remote wilderness, and are the activity center of a small organization; some will be built on some isolated and lonely peaks, Or in the harsh wilderness swamp, it exists as a private laboratory of a certain archmage.

Walking on the spacious avenue of the Kingdom of Breland, while browsing the peaceful and beautiful natural scenery on both sides of the road, while looking at the tall mage tower standing at the end of the sky and exuding a faint magical glow, it is also a fresh and strange style .

Li Xun brought Siris and Younv to the ideal country that mages yearn for through the teleportation channel. Of course, the landing point was the crow's mouth reserved here early.

In the past few days when Siris left, Crow's Mouth was very dedicated to wandering around the major cities of Breland, trying to find a way to spy on the secrets of the Mages Guild, but the most famous seven-ring tower But never dared to take half a step closer. There are dense surveillance circles and mage towers of various styles. Once a mage finds its abnormality, or its special physique arouses the interest of a mage, it has no confidence to escape from there.

The special auction prepared by the Thieves Guild was arranged to be held in Tectus, the capital of the Kingdom of Brayland. The early campaign has been going on vigorously for more than two months. According to the news from Elena, the situation is very good.

In the history of Klein Continent, there has never been a miracle that can nourish the soul. When it comes to nourishing the soul, people can't help but think of the "soul prism" created by the abyssal creatures in the lower world. However, at the beginning of creation, this "soul prism" could only be used as a special delicacy exclusive to the creatures of the abyss, and the fragile life on the main plane could not bear the turbid impurities inside, which were almost soul poison.

In fact, in the final analysis, the soul prism is composed of soul fragments extracted from different powerful beings, which may contain the most profound and unforgettable memory fragments of a certain creature in a certain period of time. It’s okay if it’s just a single person’s memory, but most of the soul prisms are a hodgepodge of dozens of soul fragments, all kinds of different races, different genders, mixed personal experiences, personal emotions, life perceptions, and inner privacy. Together, it is enough to burst the fragile soul of the absorber.

Even if the absorber's soul is strong enough to survive the impact of multiple complicated memories, it will pollute the purity of his own soul, and it is easy to cause the absorber to be confused whether the memory that suddenly appears in his mind belongs to him or not. Perceived memories of others. Without a strong body and a tough soul, they are simply unable to withstand the erosion of this soul poison, and sooner or later they will embark on the inevitable path of schizophrenia and death from mental exhaustion.

Many continental scholars have pointed out that many chaotic, unpredictable and weird behaviors of abyssal creatures may be related to their year-round contact with the soul prism. It seems that it is very difficult for a guy with a dozen or so noisy and broken souls to behave normally in his mind.

In this case, the appearance of the soul crystal made up for this gap that lasted for tens of thousands of years.

In the early stage, the Thieves Guild released some soul crystals in small quantities, and after being tested and evaluated by some big \u0026 mages, they gave them extremely high evaluations. In these soul crystals, there is only pure soul power, and no memory fragments exist as impurities, which are the best nourishing wonders for the soul-wounded.

For a while, the good reputation of Soul Crystal quickly spread among the group of mages, making some people crazy about it.

As a mage, immersed in various dangerous magic experiments all year round, it is inevitable that the body will be corroded, and the spirit and even the soul will suffer some dark wounds. In the past, one could only rely on stimulating the potential of the body to slowly make up for this kind of spiritual trauma, which often outweighed the gain and would damage one's progress on the mage's path. Few people dare to try to absorb the soul prism, after all, that is to push themselves step by step into evil abyssal creatures.

Now that they heard about the appearance of such a strange thing as the soul crystal, those mages who had been traumatized in their souls and had hiddenly cut off their way forward immediately became crazy about it. For a mage, what is more important than re-opening his own way forward?

In a short period of time, the importance of this auction has risen again and again. The already expensive 500 entry qualifications have rolled upwards in less than half a month. It has risen to the current 2000 gold coins. Even so, there is a price but no market, and it is hard to find a ticket. Many high-ranking mages and even high-level mages went directly to the headquarters of the Thieves Guild, half bought and half robbed most of the ticket sources from there.

As a result, the nature of the auction that was originally aimed at the upper echelons of Tectus changed in an instant. The tickets obtained by the usually high-spirited secular dignitaries in the early stage are often bought directly by the visiting mages and miss the opportunity to participate in such a grand event. The big business groups and nobles who came here from all over the world were astonished to find that they, who were usually the distinguished guests, could not even enter the gate of the auction house at this moment.

All of a sudden, the embarrassing dignitaries from all over the country and the mid-level and high-level mages who have no connections immediately blocked the auction house and strongly demanded an explanation.

Although there were predictions, the senior management of the Thieves Guild, who never expected to develop to such a degree, was also dumbfounded. As the organizers, they have also been under tremendous pressure this month. All kinds of soft talk, all kinds of false threats, those who want to buy this batch of soul crystals in advance, those who want to know the source of the soul crystals... All kinds of things almost made them mentally collapse.

What was even more frightening was that a "big man" was also interested in these rare objects from the mouth of a visiting grand mage.

The "big man" in the mouth of the big \u0026 mage, is there anyone else besides the legendary mage?

Legendary Mage!

Bringing the word "Legend" can make these so-called high-level Thieves Guilds have calf muscles, not to mention that they are still in a country controlled by legendary mages.

Sighing and sighing, several high-level thieves guild had no choice but to get into a secret room located in the basement of the headquarters, and secretly began to connect with the distant place.

One day later, that is, three days before the auction started, the top leaders of the Thieves Guild jointly called on His Majesty the King of the Brayland Kingdom. In the Wulin Manor dedicated to the royal family. The admission qualification has also been increased from the original 500 to 1200, which basically meets the needs of most dignitaries and mages.

Although the number of people entering the venue skyrocketed, they were still small compared to the turbulent crowd, but with the royal family's name here to support them, those who wanted to make trouble would inevitably have to weigh their own weight. 1,200 entry qualifications, deducting the needs of those big dignitaries, big business groups, and mages, there are very few left for small nobles and ordinary mages.

Thus, a secret contest began.

Many nobles in Breland who had no interest in this auction suddenly discovered that if they failed to enter this auction, they would be regarded by outsiders as a sign of personal incompetence and family decline, which would seriously damage outsiders' confidence in their family. Suddenly becoming anxious, they immediately joined the ranks of chasing admission qualifications, causing the already extremely hot underground market to detonate instantly.

Since they couldn’t get it through regular channels, many people had their brains twisted. Some cheated and cheated, and even murdered and robbed one after another. The whole Tectus seemed to be in turmoil. In the end, the Kingdom Guards and the Kingdom Mage Corps were dispatched to jointly suppress this turbid current.

It was under such treacherous and turbulent circumstances that Li Xun and his two daughters entered Tectus leisurely in a carriage.

As soon as he entered the surrounding area of ​​Tectus, Li Xun felt this strange atmosphere, and even the interrogation at the gate of the city was particularly severe. If it weren't for the high-level mage badge with the extremely high gold content of the young mage, it would be a problem whether he could enter Tectus City smoothly.

When the young mage tried to find a hotel to stay in, he was devastated continuously. All the hotels and inns are full, and there is no vacant room at all, even if he took out the badge of a high-level mage, it is useless, because these rooms are reserved by famous high-level mages, big \u0026 mages .

With inexplicable horror, Li Xun could only seek help from the local Thieves Guild at the address given by Elena, but the result was unexpected enthusiasm. Several high-ranking members of the Thieves Guild who had longed for the stars and the moon, heard the arrival of the young mage, and immediately joined hands to lead him into a secret room of the Thieves Guild for another discussion.

From the mouths of these thieves guild executives, Li Xun just learned that the culprit who caused the city of Tectus to become what it is now is actually himself, no, it is the batch of soul crystals that he plans to auction. Although he had already overestimated the value of the soul crystal as much as possible, he still didn't expect that the first appearance of such a strange object would cause such a huge sensation.

Turning his head and thinking about it, Li Xun felt he understood again.

In my heart, this is a tonic that can make up for the lack and damage of the soul, but for those spellcasters who have suffered from soul trauma and have been troubled by it for many years, it is a good medicine that can prolong life and clear obstacles. Two different cognitions lead to disparity in value dislocation.

If a large amount of soul crystals are invested in Klein Continent, it may return to a rational price in a few years, and become a hard currency like magic potion and spiritual potion. But now, without knowing the exact quantity, whoever snatches it first can save his life. A seller's market has formed in this way, and the people participating in the looting are all really rich and powerful high-consumer groups in Klein Mainland—— mage.
