Lancelot Empire, Ossen City, East City, Magic Guild.
The eastern part of Ossen City was a gathering place for commercial organizations and various guilds. Apart from various shops, the Magic Guild, Swordsman Guild, Archer Guild, Thief Guild, and Mercenary Guild were all located in the eastern part of the city.
These large and small guilds had transcendent statuses and were spread throughout the entire Profound Continent. Not a single country lacked one. They were an appraisal organization for all professions. Any mage or swordsman, as long as they passed the guild's test and appraisal, could obtain the corresponding rank and be recognized by any country in the entire Profound Continent.
The Magic Guild's building was like a spire, looking like a magic tower from afar. Unlike the Swordsman Guild and the Mercenary Guild, the Magic Guild appeared deserted, with very few people entering.
Mages were the most mysterious group of people on the Profound Continent. Their numbers naturally couldn't compare to the vast number of swordsmen and knights. Therefore, the number of mages that came to the Magic Guild to take the appraisal test was much smaller.
Phoebe was too tired and had yet to wake up. After Han Shuo carried her to the bed and put her down, he went alone to the Magic Guild in the eastern part of the city at daybreak. Currently, Han Shuo possessed the mental strength of a grand magus, but he was still just an archmage. The necromancy magic that Clarendon grasped had been transferred to Han Shuo through the occupation of his soul. Han Shuo had grasped it after staying in the cemetery of death for a few days and practicing day and night.
However, apart from the magic skills that Claude had grasped, the "Necromancy Magic" book that he had obtained from the cemetery of death also recorded the two magic spells, "Plague" and "Soul Tremor". "Plague" was the same as "Corpse Resurrection". It was the most notorious and terrifying large-scale destructive magic of necromancers for thousands of years. The reason why necromancers were so terrifying was because of the "Plague" magic.
"Plague" was purely a type of destructive magic. This magic didn't have a large area of effect, but what was frightening was its ability to spread quickly. As long as one person in a village or town was infected with the "Plague" magic, unless that person was immediately burned and buried, the "Plague" magic would follow them wherever they went. More and more people would be infected, their bodies rotting and dying.
As long as a village, town, or even an empire didn't have a quick response strategy, it was very likely to become a hellish place. If it was used in conjunction with "Corpse Resurrection" magic, an archmage level necromancy magic could resurrect all those who had died from the "Plague", creating a terrifying zombie army out of thin air.
Han Shuo didn't plan on practicing the "Plague" magic for the time being. After all, this magic was just too terrifying. Once the "Plague" took form, even Han Shuo himself would have a hard time controlling it. This kind of pure destructive magic was a nightmare for any country. Once Han Shuo released this magic, he would undoubtedly become the public enemy of the continent. Therefore, after much consideration, he decided against practicing it.
"Soul Tremor" was a type of magic that directly affected the soul. Archmage level necromancers had a higher level of understanding of the soul, and could use their mental strength to directly attack the opponent's soul. This was an attack that was impossible to defend against.
Most mages had much stronger mental strength than swordsmen and knights, and could use their mental strength to defend against this kind of attack on the soul. However, swordsmen and knights of other professions had much weaker mental strength than mages. When faced with this kind of attack on the soul, they would most likely suffer greatly.
Currently, what Han Shuo was practicing was "Soul Tremor," but because Clarendon didn't have any experience with this magic in his memories, it was basically impossible for him to quickly grasp it. Archmage level magic was much more profound and abstruse than before. Even if he had the incantation, it was still very difficult to use it. Only when one's understanding and understanding of the soul reached a very high level would they be able to release it. Although Han Shuo hadn't reached this level, it wouldn't stop him from becoming an archmage.
"May I ask, are you here to advance?" When he arrived at the Magic Association, a young girl wearing a sky-blue dress asked with a smile.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo said with a smile, "That's right, I intend to advance to become an archmage of the necromancy major. May I ask how do I begin?"
"First, you must have proof that you're an adept mage, and then pay a thousand gold coins as the examination fee. Whether you succeed or not, this fee will belong to the Magic Association. Do you agree?" The girl had a friendly smile on her face as she responded politely. There was some surprise in her eyes as she looked at Han Shuo. There weren't many mages who practiced necromancy magic to begin with. She was even more surprised that such a young man had the confidence to advance to archmage necromancy.
A thousand gold coins, it looked like this Magic Association was very profitable! Han Shuo was slightly startled, then continued, "No problem, when can we begin?"
"Give me your certificate and the gold coins, I'll go ask the higher-ups first, then I'll tell you!" The girl responded with a smile.
When Han Shuo handed over the proof of his graduation from the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, as well as the two bags of gold coins to the girl, the girl looked at Han Shuo's certificate with a strange expression. She looked at Han Shuo as if she'd seen a monster and said hastily, "Wait a moment, I'll be right down!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl lifted her long skirt and ran towards the top of the magic tower. Her expression was extremely strange, causing Han Shuo to be a bit surprised.
The entire Magic Association had a total of five floors, and each floor had a large scale boundary that was brimming with dense magical elements. Although Han Shuo was a bit suspicious of the girl's behavior, he didn't release the yin demons to spy on her because of the existence of the magical boundary.
After a while, a white-haired, amiable-looking old man hurriedly walked down the stairs. From the magical insignia on his chest, it could be seen that he was an earth grand magus. There were a few mages behind the old man, including two water and thunder archmages and four adept mages.
"I'm Ares Hossein, the person in charge of the Magic Association in the Lancelot Empire. I'm fully responsible for the advancement exams for mages in the Lancelot Empire. May I ask if you intend to advance to the rank of necromancy archmage?" The old man came over with Han Shuo's certificate, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Han Shuo. He seemed a bit surprised.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo answered with certainty, "That's right, is there a problem?"
"No, no problem!" Ares hurriedly said. He then looked at Han Shuo's certificate and said, "In less than two years, you advanced from a magic apprentice to an adept mage. This, this is a miracle! Especially since you practice necromancy magic. If I wasn't familiar with your Dean Emma and recognized that this certificate was made by her, I would definitely think that you forged the certificate. "
So that's how it was. Han Shuo was astonished. He smiled faintly and said, "Then, can I begin?"
"Of course, of course. Our Magic Association's exam is different from your academy's. We only need to test your mental strength. Then, you can release your most powerful magic and we will be able to determine whether you pass or not. "Ares' attitude was surprisingly good as he said amiably," Follow me to the second floor, we will be taking the test there. "
There was a blue boundary in the center of the second floor. The solid walls were engraved with all kinds of magical symbols. When they reached the second floor, Ares took out a magic stone used to measure mental strength and handed it to Han Shuo, saying, "Inject your mental strength into it. We can use the data on it to determine whether or not your mental strength meets the standard."
The magic stone slowly lit up as Han Shuo slowly injected his mental strength. When Han Shuo saw Ares reveal a satisfied expression, he stopped injecting his mental strength and passed the archmage's mental strength test without any mishaps.
"Not bad, your mental strength has indeed reached the archmage rank. Next, you can stand inside the boundary and release your most powerful necromancy magic. We can use this necromancy magic to determine whether or not you have indeed reached the archmage rank!" Ares' attitude towards Han Shuo was even more friendly as he kindly pointed at the boundary.
With the extent of Han Shuo's brain development, the speed at which his mental strength condensed and released was more than ten times that of ordinary mages. Last time at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, Han Shuo already understood that when other people took the mental strength test, the magic stone would light up little by little. However, because Han Shuo's brain was different from ordinary people, the speed at which his mental strength condensed was extremely fast. The magic stone lit up to its brightest in almost an instant.
This time, during the test of the magic stone, Han Shuo deliberately slowed down his mental strength bit by bit. He also didn't completely release the mental strength of a grand magus in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. He still passed without any mishaps.
"There's no need to stand inside the boundary. Our necromancy major doesn't need to go through so much trouble!" Han Shuo smiled faintly and chanted a necromancy incantation. An extremely valiant evil knight clad in pitch-black armor appeared out of thin air. It rode a warhorse with two fire-breathing eyes and carried an enormous bone spear.
Evil knights could only be summoned by necromancers of the archmage rank. This was a publicly acknowledged fact in the necromancy major. When Han Shuo's evil knight appeared, it basically proved his archmage rank. This was more convincing than the powerful magic of other majors.
"Heavens, from a magic apprentice to an archmage in less than two years. That's too unbelievable! Oh right, why would Dean Emma be willing to let you leave the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force? Their necromancy major shouldn't have a necromancer of the archmage rank. She should be trying to keep you. " When Ares saw the evil knight appear, he knew that there was nothing more to say. Han Shuo did indeed possess the strength of an archmage necromancer.
