The straight-line distance between Gunshan City and Tikal City, the royal capital, is only over 100 kilometers.
After climbing the last mountain, Li Mu rubbed his butt and looked at the undead bone horse in disgust.
When he comes to prominence, he will definitely need to replace his mount with a better and more comfortable one. Even if a mount like the Undead Bone Horse has a saddle, it will still be very uncomfortable to ride for a long time.
Li Mu looked down from the top of the mountain and could see plains covered with farmland.
Each piece of farmland appears to be a standard one hundred square meters on the surface, but in fact it is equivalent to one acre of land after spatial expansion.
Therefore, this plain, which stretches hundreds of kilometers across, has nearly 10 billion acres of farmland, and the crops produced here feed half of the Mayan Empire.
The entire plain is protected by the power of the five righteous gods.
Even if the Evil God Church comes out in force, even if they can enter Tikal City, they can't even think of destroying an acre of farmland.
Nearly 10 billion acres of farmland requires countless workers.
In addition to various steam machines shuttled across the fields, the most common ones in the farmland were specially treated skeleton soldiers.
The death aura of these skeleton soldiers was sealed, and they became farmers who did not know fatigue.
The pure white tower has a good reputation in the royal capital.
Li Mu cast several magic spells to speed up the undead bone horse, and soon he reached the foot of the mountain and entered the road. He ran along the road for dozens of kilometers before finally approaching the royal capital city of Tikal, which was shrouded in an enchantment.
Without entering the barrier, even though it is not far away, the true face of Tikal, the royal capital, cannot be seen.
The moment he passed through the barrier, Li Mu saw a magnificent pyramid-like building with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. Inside the building was the royal capital city of Tikal. After space expansion, the actual space inside was many times larger than the outside.
Arriving at the bottom city gate, Li Mu put away the undead bones and horses and lined up to enter the city.
Most of the people entering and leaving the city are farmers, and a very small number are professionals like him who have returned from Qunshan City.
As for other satellite cities, they are scattered in other directions and enter the city from other city gates.
There are priests of the Church of the Sun at the city gate, and everyone entering the city needs to pass through a passage filled with sunlight.
When Li Mu walked over, he clearly felt that the Holy Emblem was attracted. Belloc was a believer in the Lord of Secrets. This person was also the object of belief for most legal professions. After successfully passing through the city gate, he immediately saw the bustling sunshine.
City.
Obviously the Royal City is inside a pyramid-shaped building, but when you look up from inside, you can see the blue sky, white clouds and the sun.
Most of the buildings in the royal city are made of stone, and some buildings are even made of whole boulders carved into hollows.
There are carriages running on the streets paved with long enchanted blue stones, and there are also many steam locomotives, but the most numerous ones are the steam mechanical beasts.
The entire royal city has a population of over five million, of which at least 30% are extraordinary professionals. This is a truly extraordinary city.
With so many extraordinary beings, the demand for cultivation resources is extremely terrifying.
After the space expansion in the city, a considerable amount of space has been opened up into magic fields, which are specially used to plant various magic plants, as well as various man-made magic mineral veins that can directly convert magic power into various resources. However, these can only satisfy the needs of low-income people.
Required for the cultivation of extraordinary people.
As for those high-level extraordinary beings, they all practiced in the ancient ruins suppressed in the royal town.
Almost all the cities in the Mayan Empire suppress ancient ruins, which is somewhat similar to the world of fire. What is suppressed here in the royal city is one of the largest among all the ancient ruins that have been discovered. The space area of the entire ancient ruins is at least as large as
Than dozens of blue stars.
Therefore, the royal city does not need supplies from other cities, and can in turn support other cities in the empire.
In the center of the royal city is the royal palace, and around the palace are the residences of the nobles.
Outside are all residential areas, and the temples of the five righteous gods are located on the edge of the royal city to protect the royal city.
At the very edge of the noble district, six stone towers hundreds of meters high stand.
Each stone tower is an official wizarding academy, and the pure white one is the pure white tower.
"Stop it!"
Li Mu stopped a carriage on the roadside.
"Where are you going?"
asked the coachman.
"Pure white tower!"
Li Mu said as he got into the carriage with only one seat.
"Six coppers."
The coachman was familiar with the road and drove on, waving his whip.
"Keep the change, please."
Li Mu casually put a silver coin worth ten copper coins into the cash box and looked around to get familiar with the city.
Although Belloc grew up in the Royal Capital, he really doesn't know much about the Royal Capital.
Because he had lived in an orphanage since childhood and could not run around, he was found to have the aptitude to become a necromancer and joined the pure white tower. The entire royal city of Belloc was familiar with the orphanage and the pure white tower.
The capital is worthy of being the royal capital, and he saw several LV60 professionals along the way here.
Through his ears and eyes, he discovered that the cultivation resources in the capital were not cheap.
But the food is very cheap, so there wasn't even a beggar along the way to the royal city.
But this is not surprising. First of all, this is the royal capital. Secondly, there are nearly 10 billion acres of fertile land outside, and the magical power is enough to make food easily abundant. The wizards in this world are not like many fantasy worlds who only kill and kill.
In terms of magic spells in life and daily life, not many have been developed like Blue Star.
So there is really no shortage of food here. The wizard's transformation spell can even be used for construction and other tasks. This also means that even ordinary houses along the way have exquisite stone carvings inside and outside the buildings. He even saw many ordinary people playing
Sculpting and playing art.
No matter how much darkness exists behind the scenes, at least on the surface, ordinary people here are extremely happy.
The carriage soon arrived at the pure white tower. Li Mu got off the carriage and walked towards the tower door.
When he passed through the tower gate, a white skull ring on his fingertips flashed with gray light.
This is the identity certificate of every member of the Pure White Tower. Passing through the main entrance of the first floor hall are more than a dozen permanent portals that form a ring, leading to different places in the Pure White Tower. Although it looks like just one from the outside
Tower, but there is more than one small world in the tower.
Li Mu walked into the portal back to campus and immediately felt suffocated after the transmission.
Not far away from him is a white bone dragon head with a height of hundreds of meters. This is a bone dragon with a body length of several thousand meters including its tail. This bone dragon has been sleeping all the time. The skeleton of the bone dragon has been dug out.
It was turned into a hollow and transformed into student dormitories and various classrooms.
The dragon power that the bone dragon unconsciously exudes will bring a huge sense of oppression to the spirit.
Students who endure this kind of dragon power for a long time will either have a mental breakdown or their spirits will become stronger and stronger.
Living in the hollow skeleton of a bone dragon for a long time will inevitably bear the erosion of the death magic of the bone dragon all the time. If students do not want their bodies to be eroded by the death magic and become undead creatures, they can only do their best to control the death magic in the body.
Avoid damage to the body.
In such a learning environment, if students in the Pure White Tower do not work hard to improve themselves, they will commit suicide slowly.
Li Mu activated the universal magic spell Blinking, which immediately flashed to the bone dragon's ribs and landed on one of the ribs.
Abyss Star does not have the Apparition Spell, but it has a short-range Blinking Spell and a long-distance Teleportation Spell. The Blinking Spell can be cast faster and safer than Apparition, but the range of a single movement is very short. As for the Teleportation Spell, it can be cast remotely.
In terms of teleportation, it completely beats apparation.
Although the magical civilization of the First Phoenix Empire originated from the Abyss Star, the level of development of the magical civilization was very different.
Of the magic spells he received from Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic of various countries, very few of them survived in the end and were not eliminated.
Li Mu injected magic power into his feet and was immediately transported into the hollow ribs.
The dark corridor was full of depression. Li Mu walked to his dormitory and took out the key to open the door.
As soon as the key was inserted, Li Mu stopped and turned to look at the dormitory next door.
He could feel that there was someone in the dormitory next door who was leaning against the door, listening to what was going on outside.
The student dormitories all have soundproof magic circles, which are usually turned on whenever there are people in the dormitory.
After all, the wizard's spirit and five senses are very strong. If he doesn't turn on the soundproof magic circle, he will be heard by others even if he sneezes in the dormitory. Even if the resident next door doesn't turn on the soundproof magic circle, it doesn't matter. He posted it when he was about to return to the dormitory.
On the door.
Li Mu's first feeling was that someone was eavesdropping on Belloc.
If he hadn't been a blood wizard, and his perception of blood was extremely strong, he wouldn't have discovered that there was someone standing behind the next door and eavesdropping. Someone eavesdropping for no apparent reason obviously had bad intentions towards Belloc, but as far as he knew
Belloc has no friends or enemies in the Pure White Tower.
Belloc's neighbor seems to be a tall and lanky man whose talent and grades are much worse than Belloc's.
Belloc himself had no idea what the specific name was.
Li Mu opened the door and entered the dormitory. The door of the dormitory next door immediately opened a gap and an eavesdropping ear appeared.
This time it was confirmed that the tall and lanky guy next door really had his eye on Belloc.
Li Mu shook his head indifferently. No matter what the next door meant, it would be over if he got the chance.
After checking Belloc's dormitory, it was so plain that it made people feel distressed.
Li Mu made sure that the dormitory was absolutely safe and without surveillance, and immediately activated his Tinder phone to enter the mirror world.
When he was in Gunshan City, he tried to observe the royal capital Tikal City in the mirror world.
However, in the mirror world, not to mention the city of Tikal, even the nearly 10 billion acres of farmland outside the city cannot be seen. There is a divine power there that blocks the replication of the mirror world.
But this is inside the academy, so there is no divine power here?
The moment he logged into the mirror world, Li Mu appeared in Belloc's dormitory in the mirror world.
This shows that the mirror world can generate a mirror projection of the interior of a pure white tower. The network is immediately disconnected, and then the clairvoyant fire is activated to look outside. The bone dragon can be seen, and many dormitory interiors can be seen, but only the head of the bone dragon can be seen.
to a blank.
Obviously, the mirror projection of the bone dragon head generated in the mirror world failed.
It means that this place is shrouded by divine power. Fortunately, the college's library is not at the head of the bone dragon.
Li Mu left the dormitory and headed to the library. There were nine libraries in total from the outside to the inside.
Each library corresponds to ten extraordinary levels and nine stages of magical knowledge.
As long as the extraordinary level reaches the standard, you can enter the library corresponding to the strength.
If you are not strong enough, you need an approval letter from the college instructor.
Li Mu went directly to the outermost library, where the basics of magic knowledge for those below level 10 are provided.
Although the Pure White Tower is an academy for necromancers, it also retains very comprehensive basic knowledge of other wizards. After all, although there are differences in different categories, the essence of all wizards is the control of magic, so even necromancers need to
Learn more about the basics of other wizards.
Li Mu turned around and found that there were at least tens of thousands of magic books on the outermost layer.
Belloc read hundreds of them, all of them when he first entered the college.
A compulsory basic magic book recommended by the instructor.
As for the rest, you can watch it if you want. If you don't watch it, it won't affect your ability to become a necromancer.
But Li Mu is greedy, and all he can think about now is reading them all.
Of course, he won't memorize it by rote. According to Belloc's memory, the content of many magic books has some overlap. Their mentor once said that if the overlapping content is removed, valuable magic can be obtained.
There are only thousands of books.
There is no need to learn most of these thousands of books, because a considerable part of them is knowledge that has been eliminated by history.
The magic knowledge that is truly suitable for contemporary times only has the knowledge content of two thousand magic books.
Expanding the mirror void, Li Mu covered the outermost library with the mirror void.
After spending more than two thousand fire source coins, his mirror void has copied all the magic books in the outermost library.
Then came the second and third libraries. Copying all the magic books cost less than 10,000 Fire Source coins.
But it won't work further down. Belloc is only LV29. He can only enter the first three floors of the library. If he breaks through to the next six floors, he will have to withstand the counterattack of the magic circle arranged by the library. Li Mu died on the spot after just a little attempt.
I had to restart the disconnected mirror world.
To break through the magic circle in the library, it is conservatively estimated that one needs LV80 strength.
If you can't force your way in, you can only find a way to ask the teacher for approval.
In this way, at least the first five floors of the library can be entered at will. As for the sixth to ninth floors, ordinary tutors will not have the right to open an order.
Anyway, it would take time for him to study the first three levels of magic books. Li Mu no longer bothered about emptying out the library, and instead returned to the dormitory to start immersing himself in the ocean of magic knowledge in the mirror void. He was even ready to stay in the dormitory like this
Study hard until I come to this world.
Learning is a very happy thing, provided that you can easily understand what you want to learn during the learning process.
Learning in this way can give people a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
On the contrary, if you can't learn no matter how hard you try, then learning will become the most painful torture.
Li Mu is certainly the former, so he is very happy and satisfied while studying.
However, he had only been happy for less than half a month. His happiness was interrupted by a banging on the door early that morning.
Li Mu opened the dormitory door unhappily, and standing at the door was Belloc's mentor Joseph.
Joseph is a LV60 necromancer, and his relationship with Belloc is average. After all, Belloc's talent is not very good, and he is an orphan and helpless. In addition, he is taciturn and does not want to please, so the relationship with his mentor is naturally not bad.
It has been nearly 20 years since Belloc attended school, and Joseph has only taken the initiative to find Belloc twice.
The first time was when he was enrolled in school, and the second time was not long ago when Bei LuoKa was summoned by Joseph for more than two years at LV29 to give him a lesson. This was also the reason why Bei Luo Ka went to Gunshan City to obtain the Ghost Hand Tree.
Joseph looked for him, but Joseph just sent a student to call Belloc over.
Today, it is the first time in Belloc's life that he came to his door so proactively.
"Hello, instructor!"
Li Mu greeted him respectfully and politely.
"I'm not good."
Joseph said angrily, "Didn't I tell you to find the Ghost Hand Tree to break through? Why haven't you become LV30 when you came back halfway? I will give you one last chance. If you still don't work hard and do nothing, I will
Submit an application for your expulsion to the college."
"..."
Li Mu looked at Joseph who had said the harsh words and turned to leave, lowering his head in deep thought.
Plants like the Ghost Hand Tree can indeed help undead wizards with poor qualifications break through the LV30 threshold.
There were many undead wizards who chose this path, so although he knew from Belloc's memory that Belloc went to Gunshan City because of the advice of his mentor Joseph, he didn't care much about it, because Joseph might be the day he wanted to come.
On a whim, I paid some attention to Belloc.
But now it seems that Joseph is paying special attention to Belloc.
This is very strange. Why should Joseph pay attention to Belloc?
Although Joseph looked angry, through the contact just now, he did not find that Joseph had any ill intentions towards Belloc, but he did not really care about Belloc's improvement in strength. Thinking about the tall and thin man next door who was eavesdropping, it was obvious that Belloc didn't know
I didn't realize I was involved in something.
He is Belloc now, and Belloc's troubles are his troubles.
Li Mu shook his head, it seemed that the happy study time was about to be interrupted.
Li Mu came to the next door, where the tall and thin man next door was eavesdropping behind the door just like last time.
He punched the door several times in a row, and the tall and thin man behind the door was immediately startled.
After calming down, the tall and lanky man pretended to be angry and opened the dormitory door. Just as he was about to ask Belloc why he was so rude, Li Mu had already punched the tall and lanky man in the nose. While the nose was bleeding, a drop of blood had already been collected by Li Mu.
stand up.
"If you dare to eavesdrop again, I will beat you up."
Li Mu snorted coldly and turned around to go back to the dormitory.
The tall and thin man covered his nose and felt a little confused. The guy next door actually knew that he was eavesdropping and slapped his nose because of it. This made him unable to care about being angry. All he could think about was the mission assigned to him by that person.
Continue to complete it.
Li Mu returned to the dormitory, immediately took out the blood source scarecrow and dripped the skinny man's blood on it.
The Bloodborne Scarecrow immediately turned into a tall and lanky man. The Canghai Dragon Ball flashed and Canghai Longmian's power covered the Bloodborne Scarecrow. He directly used the Bloodborne Scarecrow to hypnotize the tall and lanky man next door, suppressing the tall and lanky man's soul, allowing him to pass easily.
Legilimency reads the memories of Slender Man.
About the same day that Belloc left for Gunshan City, a wizard was welcomed into the tall and thin dormitory next door.
He was a genius necromancer who came from a big noble in the royal city. He was not yet twenty years old and was already at level 39.
Resources play a key role, but the talent itself is also extremely outstanding.
Such a genius necromancer has no chance to compete with mediocre academic scumbags like Belloc and Slender Man.
However, on that day, William, the genius undead wizard, half-threatened and half-bribed the Slender Man with a task, which was that as soon as Belloc returned to the dormitory, the Slender Man would notify William as soon as possible. Other than that, the Slender Man was really nothing.
No one knows anymore.
"William...Joseph..."
Li Mu was thoughtful.
How could one of their academy tutors, a talented necromancer from a noble family, be involved with a transparent person like Belloc? Thinking of this, he began to carefully check Belloc's memory again, but no matter what he looked at, there was nothing unusual.
Li Mu checked for the third time, this time looking backwards and forwards.
Everyone saw Belloc being abandoned in the orphanage, and Li Mu suddenly thought of a possibility.
In the orphanage in the royal city, few of the orphans were abandoned because it was too easy for the residents of the royal city to raise children. Therefore, most of the orphans were actually parents who died outside as professionals, leaving behind no children.
He was found by the police and sent to an orphanage.
Belloc is one of those rare exceptions, he belongs to that kind of abandoned orphan.
Li Mu wondered whether Belloc's life experience was related to the nobles behind William?
Taking out the manuscript of the Bloodborne Grimoire, Li Mu turned to the page of the Bloodborne Tracking Curse and began to learn this spell.
This is the most advanced tracking spell based on blood. After learning this spell, and cooperating with his blood source core to control the blood, Belloc's bloodline fused throughout his body is enough to track all Belloc's direct and branch blood relatives.
.
This spell is easy to learn but difficult to master. After half an hour, Li Mu was able to cast it initially.
He sensed two direct blood relatives located in the royal capital, and one branch blood relative located in the Pure White Tower.
Now the truth became obvious. Belloc really came from a big aristocratic family.
For some reason, Belloc was abandoned.
The great aristocracy he was born into must have undergone some drastic changes, which resulted in the entire family's bloodline being almost wiped out. Only two direct lineages and one branch lineage were left. Not surprisingly, that lineage was Tongzai Pure.
The genius necromancer William of the White Tower.
Because the direct bloodline withered, William's branch took the opportunity to ascend to power and had the right to inherit.
It is very likely that Belloc and William had some kind of intersection in the college, which made William discover Belloc's life experience, and only then did the follow-up happen. As for why William didn't just get rid of Belloc, Li Mu thought of what he said in a book introduction.
Some contents seen in the nobles' magic books.
Those great aristocrats with a long heritage also have an unusual number of enemies.
It is difficult to defeat a long-established noble family head-on. Therefore, there was a period in history when the enemies of the noble family would find ways to control the younger generations of the noble family and disintegrate them from within by seizing their bodies and controlling their thoughts.
A hostile noble.
Wherever there is a spear, there is a shield. In order to prevent such methods, the great nobles developed a bloodline curse.
This blood curse has many functions. It can detect whether a blood relative has been taken away or controlled by others, it can sense the death of a blood relative, and it can even pass on extraordinary power to future generations through the blood curse. William did not attack Belloc.
What I am worried about is the bloodline curse.
"Is this pie in the sky?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and shook his head in the affirmative.
If his judgment was correct, he should now be equivalent to the son of destiny of the Abyss Star.
Luck is not uncontrollable on the Abyss Star. Even Snape can prepare magical potions that affect luck. The research on luck here on the Abyss Star far exceeds that on the Abyss Star. One of the generally accepted sayings is
The more powerful the extraordinary person is, the more favored he is by the world.
Although his blood-borne wizard clone is weak, his demon larvae clone is a natural divine larvae.
So after coming to the Abyss Star, he first got the Bloodborne Grimoire, and then got the Death Notice. Then the Death Notice and the Death Sketch were very consistent. Finally, he randomly selected Belloc to cast the Bloodborne Transformation Spell, and selected it.
A direct descendant of a great nobleman living among the people.
After thinking about this, Li Mu fell in love with Abyss Star more and more.
