Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 802 "The World After Death"

Neivath, the third floor of hell, is called the "burning city" by the master material world magicians.

There is no plain, no mountains, no rivers, no hills, no wasteland, only a magnificent city made of steel in the hell that seems to have no margins at this level, but the flames under the ground will never stop burning, even steel will be burned. Jiao, and more steel buildings appear red and hot, so that every pale ghost that is approaching is ringing, black smoke is constantly blowing, as if it will "evaporate and disappear" at any time.

The choking smoke enveloped the sky. Various demons walked in the steel giant city. They were in order, but they cruelly treated every soul who entered hell, and the demon captive.

Rumor has it that there is a huge prison in the endless flame of the burning city, holding different intelligent creatures, and the most direct evidence is that when walking on the hot ground, you can often hear a sound The mourning and screaming of unknown sources.

A team of little demons pressed a group of pale and fuzzy souls toward the tower in the middle of the "Burning City", waving special whips from time to time, pumping these souls into hell into pain and wailing, and the more painful they were, the little devil The more excited they are.

"No wonder all kinds of post-mortem customs will prevail, no wonder the spread of the Truth Church will be so rapid ..." Lucian, who has not changed her appearance and dressed in a large caravan, sighed with interest and compassion. This is the first time he has entered hell.

According to the past research of the Magic Council, after death, if there is no special trick, the soul will die on the spot, but in the Styx that runs through the hell and the abyss, the soul will emerge, but there is no previous memory and The face, it is impossible to tell who is who, and these souls in hell and abyss are either degenerated into demons, demons, or made into "soul gems" that perform special magic or extraordinary abilities-this is the hard currency of hell, or It gradually collapsed and disappeared completely.

As for what the essence of the soul is, how it came about, and where it came from, it is the difficulty of current arcane research.

However, after discovering the Necromancer, Arcanists have reason to believe that one of the souls' "homes" is the Necromancer. If post-death customs can form a corresponding space in the "world of doors", some wishes and Souls with strong will can enter them.

Perhaps because of a feeling that things hurt their kind, Lucien's mind emerged with the idea that after the Parliament overwhelms the god of truth in the main material world, it is necessary to put hell under control while exploring the vast starry sky and other spaces. China, of course, with the current strength of the Parliament and the enemies facing it, this goal has not been possible for a long time.

"Incorporating hell into the ruling of the parliament is something that the ancient magic empire did not even dare to think about ..." Lucien walked on the street with her feet vain, all the stones underneath were red hot and beat an egg If you go on, you will immediately zoom in. In addition to the devil born in the flame, even the knight cannot withstand this high temperature and burning for a long time, so those souls and captives will be so painful.

Lucien ’s caravan is an “alien trading group” organized by the Magic Council, and it came to conduct business with integrity. After all, the devil is not a “holy person” with high character and no food, resources and various enjoyment. "They also need resources and other resources that Hell does not have to forge weapons and enhance their strength. They 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 be relatively fair. Transaction.

This kind of thing obviously cannot circumvent the magician who is good at collecting and alchemy. Similarly, the magic council also needs special materials produced in hell, and controlling such transactions in its own hands helps limit the expansion of the devil's strength. In order to prevent a few greedy guys from providing unrestricted strategic resources for the treasure, strength and happiness of the soul after death.

Of course, it is also because of this trading behavior that magicians of the past have added even more evil colors.

Two dark-skinned devils greeted from another street, kicked a human soul, and then respectfully said to the leaders of the "trading mission": "Dear Sirs and Wizards, the Duke is waiting Your goods. "

For the "Duke of Steel" guests, the devil dare not offend, otherwise it is easy to be sent by the Lord Duke to the magicians as a transaction item-the devil's entire body is "material", and can be used as a summon and servant , So they are two very different faces when facing ordinary human souls and this human trading group.

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

As a high-level magician, how could he not know the famous "Atomic Master", "Three Views Destroyer" and the great Arcanist Lucian Evans.

Looking up at the red iron tower in the middle of the burning city, Lucien smiled and said, "I won't go anymore. The Iron Duke might not want to see me."

At the top of the "Steel Tower", the iron-dark steel duke of the whole body looked down solemnly, a legendary peak, a legendary peak that has caused many legendary falls, it is really not a good "guest", this is only legendary This is especially true for those who rely on the "burning city" to fight the legendary third order.

"If anything, sir, you can contact Colin of the Soul Balance." Hitt didn't say much, and it wasn't a wise thing to rush into the whereabouts of a great arcanist.

"Soul Balance" is the "Alchemy Cabin" opened by the Magic Council in the burning city.

Lucian nodded slightly, and quickly merged into the devil and a small number of "merchants" coming and going from the steel giant city.

"'Lord of Hell' should already know that I am in hell, will he block me?" Lucien knew very well that hell is equivalent to some kind of incarnation of "Lord of Hell", no matter how he hides his trail and sneaks into hell , It ’s hard to hide Maldimos, so it ’s better to come in brightly, “Next, go to the“ silent hell ”on the eighth floor, to see if you can find the special star core, and indirectly try to explore Mal Dimos's attitude, and then enter the ruins of ancient hell below the ninth floor. "

The idea came to light, and Lucian suddenly felt something, looking back to the other side of the street, and saw a teenager with a satisfied smile on his face was walking to the edge of the "burning city" with a bag of materials.

The only people living here are the magician who came to trade and a few devil believers, so this teenager is undoubtedly a soul, which can be seen from his floating state and translucent body.

However, the soul in hell is either muddy or demented, or full of resentment and viciousness, and there is no one who can maintain a normal mental state, but this young soul is sunny, giving Lucien a kind of he is still alive feel.

"I also 'smelt' the smell of" silent hell ", where did he come to" burn the city "to trade?" Lucien speculated secretly.

"Burning City" is the "foreign window" of the "trade" of hell. The other layers of hell only carry out some secret transactions for various reasons.

Thinking of the strange young soul from "silent hell", Lucian, the arcanist's curiosity, followed behind him, intending to see where he was going.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, you bought the 'Ghost Stone', 'Fairy Leaf' and 'Jiaoyan Volcanic Steel'." The teenager turned into a very remote place in the burning city, where even the devil has few fronts Come.

Outside a steel building surrounded by flames, an old man with a pale face stood there with a cane, and in front of him stood a bottle of "flame", which the devils love to drink. It seemed that a pub owner came. "Burning City" "purchasing" goods.

Humanity?Lucien was a little stunned. Are there human beings living in hell that will not be torn and eaten by the devil?

As Lucian was about to unfold the mental field to see if there was any magic cover on the old man, he suddenly raised his head: "Maman, you brought the guests, why not say a word?"

"Boy" Ma Man turned back in amazement, and happened to see Lucien with no hidden tracks: "I, I don't know him ..."

"Sorry, but I just wanted to meet your grandpa, so I came with you." Lucian said casually.

Ma Man scratched his head in doubt and shyly: "My grandfather is just an ordinary pub owner, there is nothing special about it, you may admit the wrong person."

"Ordinary tavern owner?" Lucien chuckled, indeed ordinary in the material world, but here is hell.

The skinny old man stooped to sort out the "flame wine", and his turbid eyes looked at the "teenager" and said: "Ma Man, 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 ..." Lucian said softly.

The old man's eyes became dazzling: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, a little curious." Lucien smiled. "There's no malice. If you come from 'Silent Hell', then allow me to inquire about something."

The old man looked up and down at Lucien: "Are you a magician? This person should be dressed as a magic council. Douglas hasn't taught you not to venture into hell casually?"

"Do you know Your Excellency Speaker?" Lucian raised his left eyebrow. He didn't seem to know that His Excellency Speaker had been promoted to a god.
