Arcane Lord

After a while, all the seats in the viewing area of ​​the ceremony hall were filled. Xia Duo roughly counted, and there were almost a hundred people. In addition to those who were in the temple before, there should be some who were teleported from outside.

Although waiting is a bit boring, it is not so unbearable to have so many people waiting with him, especially when Niya pointed him to an inconspicuous spell caster with her eyes, and at the same time wrote "大AO" on his palm. "Magician".

Knowing that the great arcanists were waiting patiently, Xia Duo instantly felt that it was no longer boring, but it seemed that the time it took Archmage Sandro to prepare the potions was a bit long.

Just when Xia Duo thought that the so-called immortality ritual was to prepare some kind of secret medicine and then drink it, Archmage Sandro suddenly stopped what he was doing and put the dark-looking bottle of medicine on the desk. On a small wooden stand.

Immediately afterwards, Archmage Sandro continued to cast spells on the bottle of potion. Although the magical light acted on the level of perception and was not a real light that could be seen with the naked eye, Shado still subconsciously squinted his eyes.

The strong magical aura fully proves the powerful power of the Archmage. At least any spell that Sha Duo currently masters cannot have such a strong aura.

It must be a spell higher than level 5.

Not one, but several, were cast one after another. Sha Duo had never seen a potion that could cast so many spells, and they were still so advanced.

Generally speaking, a bottle of potion can only cast one spell, and it does not exceed level 3. In addition, there are many restrictions on the types of spells, which are usually just status spells that temporarily enhance physical fitness and strength.

Since potions are inconvenient to store and carry, and have limited potential, Xia Duo has not specifically studied magic potions, but he still knows some common sense.

But now, common sense seems to have been overturned.

When Archmage Sandro finished casting the spell, he turned around to face the crowd of spectators. He bowed first, and then said slowly in his hoarse voice:

"Thank you for coming to witness my transformation ceremony. Although I will no longer be human, my soul and my will will always be linked to Netheril and the Tower of Morien. May Netheril rise and Arcane be eternal. !”

"I wish Archmage Sandro a long life and good luck!"

With the first opening, others also sent their blessings.

Sitting at the bottom, Xia Duo was shocked when he heard what Archmage Sandro said about "inhumans". Could it be that he was transformed into an undead creature? The undead creature is essentially a dead thing, so of course there is no such thing. Life is no longer alive, all they have is existence and destruction.

This can be regarded as immortality in an indirect sense, even eternity.

Are they really undead?

When others were sending their blessings, Sha Duo looked at the great arcanist that Niya had hinted at and gave his blessing. Then he followed up and said that he was very cautious about undead creatures.

…

After accepting everyone's blessings, Archmage Sandro laughed loudly, then went to the recliner next to the desk, took out a book-shaped object that was obviously a magic item, and placed it on his chest.

Then he took out an adamantine dagger that glowed with blue light, and slashed it hard on the palm of his other hand. Blood immediately gurgled out. The archmage's expression remained unchanged, and he directly pressed his bleeding hand on the spell book on his chest.

With a "click", the dagger fell to the ground. Archmage Sandro stretched out his hand, and the potion bottle that was still on the small wooden stand on the desk flew into his uninjured hand.

The potion bottle was not big, so the Archmage drank it all in one gulp, threw away the potion bottle, pressed his hand on the other injured hand, and finally used a mysterious spell, making the Archmage completely lose his voice.

This frightened Xia Duo. The immortality ceremony turned into a suicide ceremony?

In the magic vision, there is no doubt that the archmage is different from the dead. Even undead creatures are different from the dead. Is this because the transformation failed, or is it something else?

If the temple personnel who had brought them here hadn't specially reminded them not to be surprised no matter what happened, to keep quiet, and not to cast spells, many people present would probably have jumped up.

The Archmage who was alive and kicking just now suddenly became a dead man. If this were reality, it would be funny.

At this time, the atmosphere in the ceremony hall was eerily quiet. Everyone was staring at Archmage Sandro on the recliner. Can he turn death into life?

Or is this a failed ritual?

Xia Duo glanced at the great arcanist hidden in the crowd and saw that he was also frowning and seemed a little nervous. This made Xia Duo think that things might be going bad.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the ceremony hall became a little impetuous. Some people started to look around, as if they wanted to leave. Xia Duo was also a little impatient, but the great arcanist did not move, and Xia Duo did not move. Dare to move.

cough--

Finally, someone couldn't help but cough. This sound seemed to completely break the calm in the ceremony hall, and the atmosphere became more impetuous. Some people had already stood up and were preparing to leave.

At this moment, the great arcanist suddenly stood up, and his image suddenly changed. This image was immediately recognized, even by Sha Duo.

He had seen this man several times before, of course only from a distance.

This person was none other than Randall, the great arcanist of Morien Tower. At this time, the mages belonging to the Seven Towers, especially the Morien Tower, all stood up and saluted in unison:

"His Excellency, Grand Arcanist Randall!"

"No need to be polite, the teacher's transformation ceremony has been completed, and the past memories are now being sorted out. Please stay with me for a while." Randall did not put on the airs of a superior, but said very politely.

Archmage Sandro was his mentor before he advanced to become an Arcanist. Even though the teacher was performing the transformation ceremony without notifying him, he still got the news and came over. In order not to cause a psychological burden to the teacher, he even changed his face.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be an accident in the ceremony. The teacher seemed to take longer than normal to sort out his memory, which made the people watching the ceremony feel that the ceremony had failed.

At this time, Randall had to stand up. The ceremony had a beginning and an end. He didn't want the teacher to see everyone leaving when he woke up.

…

With Grand Arcanist Randall's explanation, those who originally wanted to leave immediately sat back in their seats. Of course, even if Grand Arcanist didn't explain, as long as he showed up, others would not leave again.

Xia Duo was particularly curious at this moment about what the so-called transformation ceremony was about. It actually required sorting out past memories, and Archmage Sandro was clearly in the state of a dead person, but at the same time he was not an undead creature.

Why did you become immortal?
