Throne of Magical Arcana

Nevasser, the third layer of hell, is called "Burning City" by the magicians of the main material world.

In this seemingly limitless hell, there are no plains, no mountains, no rivers, no hills, no wasteland, only magnificent cities made of steel, but the flames in the ground burn forever, even steel will be burned Burning, and more steel buildings are in a red-hot state, making every approaching pale ghost sizzling, constantly emitting black smoke, as if they will "vaporize and disappear" at any time.

Choking smoke enveloped the sky, and all kinds of devils walked in the giant steel city. They were orderly, but cruelly treated every soul that entered hell, captive demons, etc.

It is rumored that at the bottom of the burning city, among the endless flames, there is a huge prison where different intelligent creatures are imprisoned, and the most direct evidence is that when walking on the scorching ground, you can often hear a cry There were whimpers and screams from unknown sources.

A group of little devils pressed a group of pale and fuzzy souls towards the high tower in the center of the "Burning City", waving special leather whips from time to time, whipping these souls who entered hell to howl in pain, and the more painful they were, the little devils They are more excited.

"It's no wonder that various posthumous customs are prevalent, and it's no wonder that the spread of Truth God is so rapid..." Among a huge caravan, Lucien, who had not changed his appearance and attire, sighed with interest and sympathy. , this is his first time entering hell.

According to the past research of the Magic Council, after death, if there is no special technique, the soul will die on the spot, but in the Styx river that runs through hell and the abyss, there will be souls that will emerge, but there will be no previous memories and memories. It is impossible to tell who is who, and these souls in hell and the abyss either degenerate into devils, demons, or are made into "soul gems" that can perform special magic or extraordinary abilities-this is the hard currency of hell, or Gradually crumble and disappear completely.

As for the essence of the soul, how it is produced, and where it comes from, it is a difficult problem in current arcane research.

However, after discovering the Necromancer World, arcanists have reason to believe that one of the "destinations" of the soul is the Necromancer World. If the customs after death can form a corresponding space in the "World of Doors", some wishes and Strong-willed souls can enter it.

Perhaps because of a feeling that things hurt others, an idea emerged in Lucien's mind. After the council overwhelmed the God of Truth in the main material world, it is necessary to bring hell under control while exploring the vast starry sky and other spaces. Of course, with the current strength of the parliament and the enemies it faces, this goal is unlikely to be realized for a long time.

"Incorporating hell into the rule of the parliament, this is something that the ancient magic empire dared not even think about..." Lucien walked on the street with his feet floating, and the stones paved underneath were all red hot, cracking an egg Going down, it will zoom in immediately, except for the devils born in the flames, even the knights can't bear the high temperature and burning for a long time, that's why those souls and captives are in such pain.

The caravan that Lucien was in was an "extraterrestrial trading group" organized by the Magic Council, and they came here to carry out "commercial activities". ", they also need resources that hell doesn't have to forge weapons, improve their strength, and also need to maintain their own luxurious life, so they will entrust a few devil followers to help them collect various resources in the main material world, and then carry out a relatively fair transaction.

And this kind of thing obviously cannot bypass the magician who is good at collecting and alchemy. Similarly, the magic council also needs special materials produced in hell, and controlling this kind of transaction in its own hands will help limit the expansion of the strength of the devils , to prevent a few greedy guys from providing strategic resources unrestrainedly for the sake of wealth, strength, and the well-being of the soul after death.

Of course, it was also because of this kind of transaction that the magicians of the past were even more evil.

Two dark red-skinned devils greeted them from another street, kicked a human soul away, and said respectfully to the leaders of the "trading group": "Dear Mister Magicians, Your Excellency the Duke is waiting for you!" your goods."

For the guests of the "Duke of Steel", the devils dare not offend them, otherwise they will be easily given to the magicians as items for trading by His Excellency the Duke - the devil is full of "materials" and can be used as summons and servants , so when they face ordinary human souls and this human trading group, they have two completely different appearances.

Hitt, the leader of the "trading group", nodded proudly, then turned around, smiled and said to Lucien, "Your Excellency, are you going to the 'Steel Tower'?"

As a high-level magician, how could he not know the famous "Atom Master", "Three Views Destroyer", and great arcanist Lucien Evans.

Looking up at the red iron tower in the center of the burning city, Lucien smiled and said, "I won't go, the Duke of Steel may not want to see me."

On the top of the "Tower of Steel", the iron-black Duke of Steel looked down solemnly. A legendary peak, a legendary peak who had caused many legends to fall, was really not a good "guest". Tier 3, especially for myself who can barely fight against the legendary Tier 3 by relying on "Burning City".

"If there is anything, your Excellency, you can contact Colin from 'Soul Balance'." Hitt didn't say much, and it's not wise to rush to ask the whereabouts of a great arcanist.

"Soul Balance" is the "Alchemy Hut" opened by the Magic Council in the Burning City.

Lucien nodded lightly, and quickly merged into the demons and a small number of "merchants" coming and going in the giant steel city.

"The 'Lord of Hell' should already know that I am coming to hell, will he hinder me?" Lucien is very clear that hell is equivalent to the incarnation of the "Lord of Hell" in a certain sense, no matter how he hides his tracks and sneaks into hell , it is very difficult to hide from Martimus, so it is better to come in openly, "Next, go to the 'Silent Hell' on the eighth floor to see if you can't find the special star core, and indirectly test Maltimus. Dimos' attitude, and then enter the ancient ruins of hell under the ninth floor."

As soon as he had an idea, Lucien suddenly felt something. He looked back to the other side of the street, and saw a young man with a satisfied smile on his face, walking towards the edge of the "Burning City" with a bag of materials.

The only people living here are magicians who came to trade and a few demon believers, so this young man is undoubtedly a soul, which can be seen from his floating state and translucent body.

However, the souls in hell are either muddled like dementia, or full of resentment and viciousness, and none can maintain a normal state of mind, but this young soul is shining brightly, giving Lucien a feeling that he is still "alive" Feel.

"I also 'smell' the smell of 'Silent Hell', where did he come to trade in 'Burning City'?" Lucien speculated secretly.

The "Burning City" is the "external window" of hell's "trade". Due to various reasons, the other hells only conduct some secret transactions.

Thinking that this weird young soul came from the "Silent Hell", Lucien, an arcanist whose curiosity burst out, followed him, intending to see where he was going.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I bought the 'Ghost Stone', 'Elf Leaf' and 'Scorched Volcanic Steel' you wanted." The young man wandered into a very remote place in the Burning City, where even the devils rarely come here. Come.

Outside a steel building wrapped in flames, an old man with a haggard face stood there with a cane. In front of him was a bottle of "flaming wine" that devils love to drink. It seemed that a tavern owner came to " Burn the City" and "Purchase" goods.

Humanity? Lucien was slightly taken aback. Are there any human beings living in hell who are not torn apart and eaten by devils?

Just when Lucien was about to deploy his mental force field to see if the old man was covered by magic, he suddenly raised his head: "Maman, why didn't you say something when you brought a guest?"

The "boy" Maman turned around in astonishment, just in time to see Lucien who hadn't hidden his whereabouts: "I, I don't know him..."

"I'm sorry, but I just wanted to meet your grandpa, so I followed you here." Lucien said casually.

Maman scratched his head doubtfully and shyly: "My grandfather is just an ordinary tavern owner, nothing special, you may have misidentified the guest."

"An ordinary tavern owner?" Lucien laughed. It is indeed ordinary in the main material world, but this is hell.

The skinny old man bent down to tidy up the "flame wine", looked at the "boy" with cloudy eyes and said, "Maman, go buy another hundred bottles of 'Water Soul Wine' and send it to the old place."

Maman nodded and ran away happily.

"A very special soul..." Lucien said softly.

The old man's eyes became bright all at once: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Lucien smiled, "No malice, if you come from 'Silent Hell', then allow me to inquire about some things."

The old man looked Lucien up and down: "Are you a magician? You should be a member of the Magic Council in this attire. Didn't Douglas teach you not to venture into hell casually?"

"You know Your Excellency the Speaker?" Lucien raised his eyebrows on the left, as if he didn't know that His Excellency the Speaker has been promoted to a godlike?
