Arcane Age

Stepping into the land shrouded in darkness, Xi Wei immediately felt that life was cut off. Everything was withered and withered. Even the most vigorous grass and insects could not escape this disaster. The whole world seemed to have lost its color of life. Everything It's all dark and gloomy.

You must know that the former Rhine Federation was a rich black forest and land, as well as large tracts of grassland. Otherwise, it would not be a country of knights, and it would not be able to cultivate so many knights on horseback.

The undead have caused huge damage to the world, like a spreading plague. If it cannot be stopped, the future world will undoubtedly be desperate.

Xi Wei has entered the "dark side of the moon". Under the protection of Eluna's magic, he seems to be separated from the real world by a veil, blocking the breath of the living, and can easily avoid the detection of the undead. and monitoring.

Since the setting sun of the catastrophe, Ms. Silver Moon, as the only true god in the Oriente world, has not made any move. Moreover, since the incident of the dark elves transforming into the night elves, she has not interacted with Xi Wei for a long time. This situation is definitely not normal. It can indeed be said that there are turbulent undercurrents and a bumpy road ahead.

Xi Wei passed by Saarbrücken, the city where the undead army was located. Countless skeletons, ghouls, flesh puppets gathered here, and there were large swaths of undead bats in the sky.

The most important core of the undead army is the death knight and the necromancer. Xi Wei saw the figures of several lichs. It was obvious that after the initial attack was frustrated, the undead king Bardes had sent out his most elite force, which was also very powerful. It is possible that he will end up in person.

However, Xi Wei did not stay here too long. Instead, he activated the teleportation spell and went directly to New Wagt Fort, the base camp of the undead on the Oriente continent.

The "Lighting Through Ten Thousand Realms Knowledge" was constructed in his soul. Not only was Xi Wei's teleportation spell greatly reduced in cost, but the light and shadow effects could also be restrained, hardly alerting anyone. When he used the Dark Side of the Moon again, Xi Wei entered directly. Inside this undead base camp.

This place has completely turned into a paradise for the dead and an arsenal of the undead. Almost all ghouls, flesh puppets and undead bats are processed here. Xi Wei saw countless living and dead people being sent here and then transformed into Became the army under the immortal king Bardes. This is the center of the dark sky and the place where it first unfolds, and the negative energy is also extremely intense.

At the same time, this is also the location of the portal connecting Oriente Continent and the Bone Burial Ground. It can be said to be the most important military place. Xi Wei sensed the auras of many strong men. There are also super protective spells, which are naturally for defense. Possible raids and sabotage.

Xi Wei's trip was not for destruction, but for reconnaissance. It was very difficult to open and construct a portal connecting two people. He had to choose the place where the space barrier was weakest and where the distance between the two spaces was closest. The New Wagt Fort is undoubtedly the best transmission point from the Bone Burial Ground to the Oriente Continent. Xi Wei came here precisely to enter the Bone Burial Ground.

Although the space beacon on the Bone Burial Ground is controlled by the immortal king Bardes, Xi Wei once attended the founding meeting of the Dark Parliament with Schiller, the "white crow", and now has legendary level space magic attainments. He can teleport directly to the Bone Burial Ground from New Waggart Castle alone, without passing through the portal of the undead, and without disturbing Bardes.

Xi Wei directly activated the "Lighting Through Ten Thousand Realms Knowledge Technique" constructed in his soul. Thirty-six void inscriptions shone brightly. The whole world seemed to turn into nothingness in front of Xi Wei, leaving only dots and lines. With face, face with emptiness.

Relying on the memory of having visited the Capital of the Dead, Xi Wei was able to locate the location of the Bone Burial Ground in an instant, even though he did not have the plane key to the Bone Burial Ground.

The light in his soul was so strong that it penetrated all realms in an instant. The dots connected into a line, penetrating two completely different and non-intersecting planes. Xi Wei's entire body turned into a ray of light, following this line of temporary planes. And go.

In just one breath, Xi Wei transformed from light and shadow into human form again. There was no light in this place, only the ghosts and will-o'-wisps floating around. Xi Wei had successfully smuggled across to the Bone Burial Ground!

Xi Wei's trip to the Bone Burial Ground was not to learn the necromantic magic of negative energy, but to explore and understand the origin of death controlled by the undead king Bardes, and to see how far he had reached. , break the mysterious aura surrounding him, so that he can respond in a targeted manner in the decisive battle.

Looking at the entire world of Oron, there are only a few people who can sneak into the Boneyard and spy on the original power of the immortal king Bardes. Xi Wei is a man of skill and courage, and Bardes must be in Oron at this time. The mainland has even reached the Maginot Line, so it is an opportunity to take advantage of.

In the holy realm, even the demigods, the gap between spellcasters and warriors is gradually blurring, and the only way to transcend and achieve immortality is undoubtedly to control the power of the origin of the world, so as to become a true god. No matter what kind of hero, May Day is not allowed to Move forward on this path of becoming a god.

The priesthood that the Immortal King Bardes is targeting is undoubtedly the God of Death, and the source of power he is spying on must be the source of death. What is the embodiment of the source of death in the world of Orrente?

Nature is the endless river of Styx.

Xi Wei opened the real magic eye. As he entered the legendary level, this ability was naturally greatly strengthened. With the magic eye opened, the entire Bone Burial Ground was visible. He once condensed and extracted souls into the brilliant star diamonds in the endless river of Styx. He quickly sensed the breath of the endless Styx.

Xi Wei teleported again and went directly to the place of induction. As soon as he landed, Xi Wei was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The plane opened, the Styx poured in, and the endless water of the Styx rolled down, directly rushing into the excavated super pool. Countless souls accumulated in it, turning into a steady stream of negative energy, used by the immortal king Bardes. !

Bardes was so bold that he actually punched a gap in the endless River of Styx and stole the power of the world's soul as food for himself and the undead!

Xi Wei finally understood why the "Wall of Soul Sigh" built by the Lich in order to fight outside Milan could block the glorious magic of Infiniti, the Lord of the Setting Sun, because this wall of Soul Sigh was borrowed from the endless underworld. There are countless souls in the river!

This place is undoubtedly the most secret forbidden place in the entire Bone Burial Ground, and it is also the biggest secret of the immortal king Bardes. Xi Wei couldn't help but sigh, Bardes is really a great man of his generation. If he is allowed to accumulate like this, he will naturally become a true god. Unlimited.

With this Styx Pool, Bardes has no shortage of negative energy, and can even give it generously and directly create hundreds of death knights.

You must know that the strong masters are by no means cabbage. The core strength of the major powers in the world of Oriente is currently high-level, that is, the way of the model, whether it is the Knights of the Setting Sun, the Knights of the Dawn, the French Knights of the Guards or the Holy Order. The main elite of the Norman Empire is nothing like this.

Although Bardes destroyed the Rhine Federation, the negative energy required to transform hundreds of master-level death knights was simply astronomical. Even Infiniti, the Lord of the Setting Sun, was supported by two artifacts left by the Lord of Glory. It's possible to do this.

Xi Wei had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he stepped forward step by step and stepped directly into the pool of the Styx.

His soul had been refined in the endless river of Styx. Once it entered the pool, it was directly transformed into a dazzling soul diamond, dazzling and shining.

The feeling of this Styx Pool is far less comfortable than the endless Styx. Countless souls roared and raged in it, as if they were in despair.

Yes, although the Endless River Styx is the destination of the souls of the dead, it also leads to new life. Life and death reach a balance here. The total number of living creatures in the Orient world has basically not changed much, and even natural disasters and wars cannot affect it.

But Bardes's move intercepted the water of the Styx. Although it is currently only an insignificant part of the entire endless Styx, the source of death, it is despair and helplessness for these souls. They will never be reborn. Possibly, it can only become pure negative energy.

Xi Wei looked at the endless gap of the Styx in the sky, which was filled with the aura and will of the immortal king Bardes. It was obvious that as long as this place was touched, Bardes would sense it and return immediately.

Xi Wei is by no means Bardes' opponent at the moment, not to mention that even if he can fill the gap in the Styx, Bardes can open it again, which can be said to not have much effect.

With the Pool of Styx, the Immortal King Bardes can be almost invincible. The negative energy he controls is endless, which means that the army of the undead is endless. Even if the Immortal King Bardes himself is severely injured, as long as he Returning to the Styx Pool, the time for resurrection will be greatly shortened.

Do we just sit back and watch Bardes become a god in this way, turning the entire Oriente world into the kingdom and paradise of Death?

No, absolutely not. There is no room for arcane magic and civilization to survive in such a world. Xi Wei can cooperate and coexist with Yulishia, but there is no way he can reach peace with Bardes.

Xi Wei has already had a lot of exploration and experience in the various origins of the world, including the origin of frost, the origin of light, the origin of time...

So how to counter Bardes?

Thinking of Infiniti, the Lord of the Setting Sun, and Yurishia, the Lord of the Dawn, Xi Wei's eyes lit up. The exploration and pursuit of the original power cannot be without competitors. Once the two aim at the same priesthood, there will be an eternal battle between the avenues. immortal.

Besides Bardes, are there any strong men targeting the Death Priest?

Maybe there is, but Xi Wei doesn't know, but that's not a problem. If not, just make one for him!

Moreover, this person must have a deep hatred for Bardes and be sworn in to avoid being recruited later and become Bardes' chosen one or follow the god.

A suitable candidate was instantly identified by Xi Wei, it was Reinhardt, the prince of the former Rhine Federation and the son of the ruling Ludwig!

This Rhineland man's last hope did not give up resistance. He led his last cronies and elites into the mountainous areas of the southeastern part of the Federation, and circled among several small principalities and city-states. After hundreds of battles and tempered by the flames of war, he was finally I broke through and entered the legendary rank some time ago, which is enough.

How to help Reinhard contact and master the power of death? There is already a good role model, and that is Ashbringer Charlotte.

Charlotte can communicate with the source of light and realize the power of the Holy Light alone. In other words, she is a small competitor for the God of Light. However, with the Lord of the Dawn, Yurishia, unless the Lord of the Dawn falls, Charlotte will not be able to survive. It is extremely impossible to compete for the position of the God of Light.

The deeper Xi Wei understands the origin of the world, the clearer Xi Wei will be about the path to becoming a demigod or even a god.

The power of the origin of the world is so vast that no one can fully control it. If you can do "the moon is me, I am the moon" like Lady Eluna of Silver Moon, you are already a true god, and you are even the strongest among the true gods. By.

The rest, whether they are the Lord of the Setting Sun, the Lord of the Dawn, the Immortal King, the Lord of Tyranny, the Queen of the Deep Sea, and a series of other powerful people in the Oriente world, the power they control to correspond to the origin of the world can be said to be very small, a drop in the ocean.

What they need to do is to continuously deepen and strengthen their grasp of the original power of the world, and to gather faith to finally ignite the divine fire. Faith helps transcendence, completing the last step from human to god in one fell swoop, and truly becoming the immortal god.

But in Xi Wei's view, although Shinto is the simplest and clearest way to achieve immortality, it also has its own flaws.

The power of faith comes from thousands of believers, and it cannot be pure and uniform. Once the power of faith is used to become a god, it must be firmly tied to the believers and the church. If the church is prosperous, the gods will be strong, and if the church is dark, the gods will be weak. If human faith is eradicated, , the gods have cut off the power of faith, and the kingdom of God may even collapse and fall again.

When a god has a priesthood, he is firmly bound to the origin of a certain world. Although this allows the god to steal or use some of the permissions that the world itself has, the restrictions are also very deep and it is impossible to change the path.

Because of these two major flaws, Xi Wei has determined his future path and will never take the path of becoming a god. Otherwise, with his current research on elements and ether, as long as he further masters the origins of the four elements, he can call himself the King of Elements. Lord or Lord of Ether, join this roaring and cracking competition to become a god.

Xi Wei has chosen arcana as his future path. Arcana means exploring the truth and infinite possibilities. It is precisely because of this that Xi Wei did not try to control other origin powers. Otherwise, he would have at least had many opportunities to do so. Control the origin of frost, the origin of light and even the origin of time.

Xi Wei did not try to get his hands on the power of death. He bit off more than he could chew. Time was too tight and he could only run along the predetermined path. However, this did not prevent him from developing his own influence on the power of death. understanding and understanding.

He once walked into the endless River of Styx to compose songs, and his soul was refined and sublimated. Xi Wei had already had a certain level of contact with the power of death. In his current situation, he entered the River of Styx again through the gap in the River of Styx opened by Bardes. , if you calm down and comprehend, you will gain something.
