The Rise of the Cemetery

Backup came quickly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, several witches sneaking here with their own unique skills discovered the body of the young companion.

The young witch seemed to have died peacefully, without any trace of torture to extract a confession. Kneeling stiffly between two big trees with his head down, drips of blood dripped from his chin continuously, gathering the land in front of him into a small lake.

"She died of a fractured skull!" A black-veiled middle-aged witch carefully examined the deceased's injuries and announced the final result with a gloomy face.

"This damned idiot, she must have moved her hand!" A witch standing in the shadows nearby cursed fiercely.

"Shut up! Even if she makes mistakes again, she is still the sister of our Haran Wizard Tower. She should be saved and needs to be saved! Tina, you witches of the Eternal Dark Moon line are good at resuscitating and talking to the dead. See if you can call Return to Avril Lavigne's soul." The eldest senior witch stopped her companion's cursing, and whispered to an empty space beside her.

"Such an idiot, I also think she should be damned, is it really necessary to rescue her?" A hazy phantom gradually manifested there, and finally turned into a ghastly ugly witch.

It was a woman's face that was extremely thin. In terms of facial features alone, she is not ugly, but her deeply sunken cheeks, ghostly pale face, dry and slack skin, and sharp nose bent like an eagle's beak, twisted her into a terrifying creature that looked like a woman . Hidden in the shadows, her dry eyeballs even had a sort of feline green shimmer that was intimidating.

This desperate witch with mysterious power from the Eternal Dark Moon took a step forward, grabbed a handful of purple powder from her waist pocket and threw it on the dead witch, chanting mysterious spells that outsiders could not understand from her shriveled mouth.

Following her claw-like black fingers grabbing and pulling, a hazy human-shaped phantom emerged from the body of the dead witch.

This is a poor ghost who just died in vain. The hazy and illusory soul fragments barely condensed into a body under the dim sky light under the shackles of witchcraft power. However, she obviously hasn't figured out her current situation yet, just after waking up from the state of death, she saw her companion.

"Help me... please help me... I... definitely..."

The intermittent words obviously consumed a lot of energy of the ghost, and even the edges of the phantom body were constantly peeling off faintly. These are the most precious memories and emotions in the human soul. If any part is missing, it means that it will be forgotten forever, and it cannot be saved by magic at all.

"Can it be saved?" A trace of anxiety appeared on the elder witch's old face.

"It can't be saved! Look at the black light at the core of her soul. Her soul has been polluted by the power of shadow. Even pulling it back into her body can't stop the loss of the original soul. She is dead!"

The last sentence of the Desperate Witch obviously understood the Witch Ghost. She suddenly raised her hands and hugged her head, screaming in despair in pain, and there were black bloodstains from the corners of her eyes.

"Then ask the direction where the enemy is leaving!" The head witch was obviously also a vigorous and resolute person, and quickly issued another order.

The Desperate Witch Tina snapped her fingers, and the screaming witch ghost stopped all movements, lowered her illusory hands that were disintegrating, and stared straight at Tina's cold eyes.

"Tell me the direction the enemy is leaving!" the Desperate Witch ordered.

The Witch Ghost hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her bare arm with no fingers visible, and pointed firmly to the north.

"Halan Wizard's Tower!" Several witches present exclaimed in unison.

That direction is the "home" of their group, Harlan Wizard Tower.

What a terrible shadow queen! Even though she already knew that the witches of the Northland were chasing and intercepting her, she still dared to run headfirst into the arms of the enemy. This can't help but make the witches panic and anger.

Does she really have such strong confidence in herself?

Several witches thought faintly.

...

The message of witchcraft was quickly sent back from the Etie Ridge to Harlan Wizard Tower, a hundred miles to the north.

As a key node close to the quiet forest at the southernmost point of the Witch of the Northland, the town of Harlan is well-known throughout the Northland.

Business travelers and pedestrians traveling from north to south will choose to take a rest here to adjust their mood after passing through the deep and terrifying quiet woodland. In addition, the town of Harlan is also rich in flying squirrels and iron-backed brown bear furs unique to the quiet woodland. These rare commodities are shipped to the middle of the wizarding world, and can be easily sold at a staggeringly high price in any city.

With these convenient conditions, the small town of Harlan has become the busiest town in the southern part of the witch's territory, and the Wizard Tower of Harlan has become famous because of the town.

This is a place where witches rule. Living in this kind of place, you have to abide by many customary laws and some unspoken unspoken rules.

Never offend a witch!

This is a sentence that everyone who enters the territory of the witches in the North is repeatedly warned and kept in mind.

This is not to say that there are no wizards in the Northern Territory, but that in the entire northern part of the Wizarding Continent, in this huge and vast territory, witches occupy an undisputed dominant position. All wizards entering the territory, even legendary-level wizards, must obey the laws and regulations formulated by the Witch Presbyterian Council. Teach you how to be a human again.

Although these witches also have various factions and contradictions internally, when faced with external challenges, their sense of unity and cooperation is far stronger than those of wizards.

As soon as the news from Eiteling was sent back to the wizard tower, the witches in the tower exploded.

The shadow queen who invaded the witch's territory was a terrifying shadow creature. It was said that even the long-famous wizard Sazain suffered a dark loss under her hands. Without a legendary wizard in charge, it would be a big joke to capture and kill such a fierce god with only a branch of witches from the frontier.

This group of Harlan witches, who usually live in seclusion, rushed out of the wizard tower one by one on a magic carpet or a flying broomstick, and rushed to various parts of Harlan town separately, conveying the orders sent back by the head witch one by one.

Before dark, this bustling frontier town with a large number of business travelers rarely started martial law.

All residents and outsiders are strictly ordered not to leave the house, the streets and alleys are full of militia soldiers holding crossbow arrows, and their rulers, the witches, are riding all kinds of strange witch weapons in the sky He kept shuttling back and forth, appearing tense and flustered.

Witches are a very emotional special group. Facing a terrifying ogre coming from afar, these witches whose highest rank is no more than 4 rings certainly have reason to want to do something to repel the panic in their hearts.

At this moment, their behavior really fits the image of witches in the minds of people in the North: mysterious, weird and neurotic.

Of course, strong is also an indispensable adjective.

Compared with the panic and clumsiness outside the wizard tower, there is a completely different face inside the wizard tower.

Two big witches who have reached the 8th ring are standing quietly in the core secret room, manipulating one after another mysterious witchcraft circles in front of them, and they are meticulously detecting the special changes around the wizard tower.

A large amount of elemental energy is extracted from the element pool and slowly poured into the wizard tower, forming an invisible but solid force field barrier, which cuts off the communication between all alien spaces and the wizard tower. Without the permission of their two special witchcraft runes, any teleportation, shuttle, and stealth spells will be banned because they cannot connect to the shadow world or the interdimensional layer.

A series of solid stone gates, secret locks, and spell traps cut off all the entrances and exits of the wizard tower, dividing them into separate areas that cannot be directly connected. From this moment on, in addition to holding the miniature wizard array made by the two great witches, even if the members of the witches belonging to Harlan's wizard tower want to pass through these communication arteries, they need complicated and meticulous steps and verifications .

The Shadow Queen, as the name suggests, is a terrifying killer and assassin who lives entirely in the shadow world. As long as she can find a way to break her original connection with the shadow world, then she is nothing more than a fragile shadow creature.

During the long development of wizards, senior wizards have summed up hundreds of effective ways to deal with this alien creature. As long as the so-called Queen of Shadows dares to attack the Harlan Wizard Tower, the two 8-ring witches sitting in the Wizard Tower will definitely give her a head-on blow. At that time, she will understand why the witches of the Northland have been able to occupy the entire Northland Territory for thousands of years and become the well-deserved masters of this vast and fertile land!

As for the solemn and tense atmosphere created outside the wizard tower, even those rookie witches who were a little flustered were deliberately released by the two great witches.

There was never a moment when the two great witches were looking forward to the Queen of Shadow's overpowering intrusion into Harlan, so that they could more easily keep the credit in their hands.

At this moment, the Wizard's Tower has been tightly sealed. As long as the Queen of Shadows wants to come in and make trouble, she will inevitably seek advice from those low-level witches. Regarding this point, the two big witches have already prepared all kinds of mysterious methods, just waiting for the swimming fish to take the bait by itself.

As for whether this terrifying shadow queen will go to the town to harm those mortals, I'm sorry, in the world of wizards, no one will think about it for mortals.

If the shadow queen really went to slaughter mortals to vent her anger, the two great witches would even stroke their foreheads and celebrate, thankful for the loss of a few low-level witches.

This is the cruel and real wizarding world!
