Throne of Magical Arcana

The black mist filled the front, I couldn't see my fingers, and my words didn't echo. The whole person seemed to be trapped in the purest and most peaceful death. Even the soul was in a daze, and no thoughts emerged.

Suddenly, a grayish-white color shone through the thick black mist. Downey trembled all over, and got rid of the state of frozen thoughts, and found himself standing in a wilderness full of black gravel. The sky was gray and bleak, as usual. The scene of the Necromancer World, and not far in front of it stands a dark dilapidated palace, simple and desolate, magnificent and majestic, exuding an endless smell of death.

Boom, boom, Donnie's heart beat faster again unknowingly, as if something in the old palace was calling him, this throbbing was so strong, so clear, so irresistible.

"Is there something calling me in the palace?" A voice like a male duck sounded in Downey's heart.

Downey looked back in a little astonishment, and found that Sammy, Carl, and a fat man were standing behind him, also looking at the palace not far away.

Uh, who is this fat man?

Donnie didn't ask this sentence, he could have nightmares with him, and he could be included in Carl's telepathy. He should have a close relationship with himself and others, but it's a pity that he didn't bring a notebook...

The ghost behind Sammy kept trembling, and buried his face tightly on Sammy's neck, as if he was very afraid of the black palace and the things in it, but at the same time, its hands were pulling Sammy's body The body seemed to be urging him to enter the palace and get closer to that thing.

"Is it a 'dream' at this level?" Carl murmured to himself in a half-confused and half-excited voice, and then he said in a cadence as if he was giving an order to charge, "Let's go in and have a look!"

Donny and Sammy didn't answer, because they had already stepped forward under the strong call.

Walking through the desolate and lonely black wilderness, the four of them approached the black palace, saw the gate carved with pale patterns,

These patterns are weird and distorted, mysterious and clumsy, and seem to contain some kind of untouchable law.

Whoooo!

Suddenly, a loud and shrill cry came, frightening Downey, Sami and others to stagger.

Karl made a defensive posture, and eagerly looked towards the place where the sound came from. Being able to make a sound in this dreamland similar to the Necromancer World, the "assailant" is either powerful or weird!

I saw a half-rotten owl standing on the top of a broken stone pillar near the gate. Its body composed of black rotten flesh exposed pale bones, its two wings were gray and scattered, and its head and one eye had rotted into a rotten owl. The black hole, which retains a strange yellow-brown color, is looking at Downey and the others indifferently, and screams "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". Fear of cold, trembling slightly, is this the messenger of death? Is this a note of death?

"It's not surprising that an owl can maintain its original appearance in the palace. Haven't you seen undead creatures? I've dissected such owls, not one hundred, but fifty..." Carl said slightly disappointed.

At this time, Downey thanked Karl very much for his rambling, which freed him from that shrill and weird owl hooting, otherwise he suspected that his soul would be broken and turned into a part of the palace here, although it is not clear Why Carl is not affected, but his own feelings are real!

"Go in." After Karl said a lot, he pushed open the door engraved with mysterious patterns.

The door opened silently, and it was pitch black inside, as if there were countless monsters hiding.

Boom, boom, the moment the door opened, Downey, Sammy, and Jones all clearly sensed that thing, it was right in front, right in front of the hall!

"come quickly!"

"come quickly!"

The summoning seemed to have turned into a real voice. Downey and the others subconsciously took steps, but Carl looked left and right, looking around curiously, with a strong desire to explore in his silver-purple eyes.

The farther you go, the clearer the calling sounds become.

"Come on! You will gain great strength, and you will have a long life!"

"Come on! Power, wealth, glory and beauty await you!"

"Come on! You don't need to work hard to study and research, and you will be able to master unparalleled power immediately!"

"Pfft." During the telepathic call, Carl laughed out loud, waking up the bloodshot Donnie, Sammy, and Jones a little.

"What are you laughing at?" Donnie asked subconsciously.

Carl couldn't help laughing and said: "These words of temptation are too different. The first two sentences are very formal and grand, but the last sentence is too specific. Haha, you can master power without hard study and research. Prepared for those who have taken the unified entrance examination, I seem to see a wretched uncle, holding a donut, saying to the little girl, come with me, there is delicious food every day, no need to go to school I don’t need to complete the exercises anymore, haha, don’t you think it’s funny to be so petty?”

"I don't think..." Sammy blurted out.

Downey and Jones nodded too. Carl's humor was weird.

"Can you hear the call?" Suddenly, Donnie came to his senses. Didn't he keep saying that he couldn't feel the call?

Carl laughed and said, "I have some special abilities..."

He didn't explain too much, his gentle and quiet face was full of curiosity, as if he really wanted to meet this tasteless "seducer" soon.

Passing through the hall, there are seven steps ahead, and above the steps is a deep and majestic dark throne.

And above the throne is a strange black full-body armor, which glows with a cold light, sitting there like a real person.

It sits quietly, but it seems to fill this world and dominate everything. Behind the helmet mask is an impenetrable darkness, just like the death that everyone cannot escape and see through.

Upon seeing the full body armor, Downey, Sammy, and Jones' heartbeats changed from intense to soothing, their eyes were bewildered, their expressions were fascinated, and their right hands stretched out to touch it.

The vast and terrifying power is right in front of you, and the pleasure of mastering everything is so clear, as long as you get a part of the full body armor and put it on yourself, you can easily get it!

How could Downey, Sammy and Jones, who were still magic apprentices, resist such a temptation?

Even Carl, who had been awake all the time, frowned slightly at this time, his expression changing again and again, watching Downey and others go to get the black armor.

In the black wilderness full of gravel, two figures were quietly looking at the huge palace. It was Felipe and the heroic young man before him.

"As expected..." The young man sneered, his slightly lazy expression remained unchanged.

Just when Downey, Sammy, and Jones were about to touch the strange armor, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed it into the void in front of him.

Suddenly, his whole body became unreal, as if it had spread out, everywhere, and the entire black wilderness shook endlessly, and the ground quickly split open.

Felipe crossed his hands, watching the changes silently, his expression remained calm.

Power, wealth, and glory are about to be obtained, Downey's heart is burning hot, his eyes radiate a desire that is as real as it is, and the palm of his hand seems to be able to touch the cold armor.

But at this moment, the ground shook violently, causing Downey, Sammy, and Jones to fall to the ground.

Downey, who was slightly awake, saw in astonishment that cracks appeared on the tempting armor, and then shattered silently, turning into balls of diffuse black, white and gray.

And when he saw the indescribable and untouchable black, white and gray, Downey felt that his thoughts were frozen, and he seemed to have fallen into an eternal silence, and even his body began to rot.

Crack, there was a clear cracking sound.

Downey opened his eyes suddenly and looked around, but his expression froze again. He thought he had escaped from the dream, but the scene around him was still unfamiliar.

It was a boundless darkness, and the silvery white or golden magic runes shone like stars one by one. They connected into different constellations and formed a bright nebula.

And among the flowing magic symbols, the mass of black, white and gray was unusually quiet, and it didn't give Downey the feeling that he would die immediately when he saw it.

"Where is this?" Donnie asked subconsciously, without any hope of answering.

But Karl's voice sounded again, half puzzled: "Very familiar place..."

Only then did Downey realize that Carl, Sammy and Fatty were still by his side.

Squeak, the sound of the door opening, Donnie looked over in astonishment, and saw a silver-white door protruding from the starry sky, and a handsome old man in a bright red magic robe walked in outside the door, he seemed to be like that forever energetic.

"Ah..." Karl sighed in surprise, joy and astonishment.

The old man seemed to have sensed something, and looked over suddenly, his slightly cloudy red eyes sparkled with lightning.

Downey's whole body was shocked, paralyzed as if he had been electrocuted, and then his thoughts became slack and he fell into darkness.

After the darkness dissipated, Downey turned over and sat up, panting continuously. At the same time, he looked around again, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The light outside the window was dim, and the room was quiet and peaceful, as if it was his own bedroom, and finally got rid of the nightmare!

But that old man was really scary, just being glanced at by him in the dream, he woke up completely.

"Finally woke up..." Sami and Fatty's voices sounded one after another.

Carl, on the other hand, kept laughing like he was insane. Hearing that, Donnie was terrified, afraid that there might be some problems.

"Carl, are you okay?" he asked tentatively.

…………

The dream was shattered, and Felipe and the mysterious young man did not appear in the place where they entered the "dream" before, but emerged in a metal tunnel, and the surrounding walls were covered with silver "honeycomb" decorations.

The two of them did not speak. After walking a certain distance, they saw a deep and introverted silver-gray door. There were a few colloquial words written beside the door:

"The Eighth Research Institute of the Magic Council - God-like Research Room".
