The depths of the Amos Icefield were located in the extreme north, which was the extreme world of the human world. Standing here, one would feel as if they had reached the end of the world.
There were a lot of broken ice floating on the sea here. Further north, across the dangerous abyss of the sea, one would reach the North Sea. On the edge of the Amos Icefield, a tall castle stood there. On the side facing the sea, there was a tall statue of a knight, which looked like a guard.
This was Colossus College, where Uruk, a first-generation wizard apprentice and a good friend of Porl Kelermo, had established his own wizard college in this bitter cold place after leaving the wizard tower.
Uruk was a decent and mature person, unlike other wizards. He liked the spirit of chivalry that had been promoted since the rise of the Holy Seville Empire, and he wanted to cultivate wizards with the so-called chivalry. Therefore, Colossus College, which he had established, abandoned the traditional custom of the wizard tower, and did not have the elegance of the Corolla White Tower. Instead, it was more like a military college.
Almost all of the wizards in Colossus College were Blood Wizards, who prioritized the training of outstanding elites among the Blood Knights. Therefore, it was also inextricably linked to the Holy Seville Empire.
At this moment, Colossus College was in chaos. The news from the southwest of the Holy Seville Empire had shocked everyone. The fall of Danello City had caught everyone off guard, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The appearance of the so-called King of the Dead, along with the hundreds of thousands of ghosts that had swept through the entire Inan Province, made everyone believe it. The news immediately spread throughout the Holy Seville Empire, and Colossus College was the first to receive the news.
The superior communication system within the wizards allowed them to get the most first-hand information as soon as possible. Outside the window, the snow and ice were howling, while in the dean's office high above Colossus College.
A tall young orc with a pig's head and a human's body asked seriously, "Has everything been investigated and sorted out?"
Uruk was wearing a white sorcerer's robe. This was a tradition inherited from the Wizard Tower. Apprentices wore gray linen robes, and official sorcerers wore black robes. Only mentors and tower masters were allowed to wear robes of other colors.
The orc wizards in the Dean's office said, "We've already investigated. Our people in the Inan province have sent news. Hundreds of thousands of undead creatures are wreaking havoc in the Inan province. However, it takes a very complicated ritual to turn them into undead, so their numbers haven't spread rapidly. But we don't have much time left."
"That's right. If we continue to delay, there will be more and more undead. When that time comes, there will be no turning back. We must immediately contact all the forces that can be mobilized."
This is not just a disaster for the Inan Province, nor is it a disaster for the Holy Seville Empire. We must prevent it from happening! "
"We're no longer in our infancy. There's an undead army of several hundred thousand, and there's even an Undead Lord whose strength is unknown …"
Uruk then asked, "What happened to the King of the Dead? Where did it come from? Is it someone from within the wizard circle? "
A fox woman on the side said, "According to the information we've gathered so far, the King of the Dead is far more powerful than a level four wizard. We don't have enough information at the moment, but his strength is probably beyond our imagination."
"The only thing we can be sure of is that the appearance of the King of the Dead is definitely related to us wizards. The undead creatures have a strong witchcraft aura, which can be found in the wizard inheritance of the wizard tower. We can be sure that the King of the Dead is a wizard from the wizard tower. Moreover, he is definitely a wizard who has obtained a high-level inheritance."
Uruk had a serious look on his face as he took out his tower badge. After activating it, a mental force field immediately enveloped Uruk's body. Uruk immediately began to transmit all the information he had just obtained, including the data. The information would be directly transmitted to the Wizard Tower.
"I've already asked the wizard tower to help me investigate the identity of the King of the Dead!"
"But this is not enough. The emperor should have already received the news, so he should take action immediately. However, this situation is very tricky for wizards, so we have to step in. I hope to enter the palace and meet the emperor!"
Deep in the Black Forest of the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro, the wizard tower.
A large number of wizards and acolytes were walking up and down the tower library. On the counter at the entrance of the library, a silver-white guiding circle suddenly appeared on the furry belly of the sphinx Pyros. Pyros then stopped working and rang the bell behind him.
"The library is closed urgently. All students, please leave the library immediately. The library will be closed in ten minutes!"
Then, Pyros picked up the earthen phone hanging on the wall behind him. "Tower Master Frank, there is an urgent message from Dean Uruk of Colossus College."
Short-distance transmission of information could be done using the student badge or the mind force signal generator inside the wizard tower badge. However, this kind of information that spanned almost half of the continent could only be transmitted through the wind raven or the wizard tower badge.
Borl looked at the projection projected from the Sphinx's eye sockets. He watched as Uruk explained in detail the outbreak from the orc kingdom and the Inan Province. Borl then looked at the ten mentors of the Wizard Tower beside him. Some of them were second or third generation Wizards.
"What do you think?"
The crowd discussed among themselves, but there was no conclusion. They had only heard about it and had not seen it in person. Although they did not think that Uruk was lying, they could not imagine the scene of the so-called King of the Dead and his army of more than a hundred thousand undead.
However, Danello, a trade city that was very famous among humans, had fallen overnight, and hundreds of thousands of people had turned into undead. The death of Crown Prince Delmedi still shocked everyone.
However, because it happened in the orc kingdom, and most wizards were self-centered, most wizards did not intend to help. Instead, they were very curious about the existence of the King of the Dead and his army of ghosts.
However, there were also some far-sighted wizards who said that they should respond to Uruk's request for help. Wizards also depended on human society. Once human society collapsed, wizards would not be able to continue to exist. Now that it happened in the orc kingdom, it was very likely that it would happen in the human kingdom.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Frank didn't say anything on the spot. After the meeting was over, Edward was left behind. The two of them stood in the conference room, and Frank said, "Do you feel a sense of familiarity? There aren't many people who have the ability to control such a system, and there aren't many who have the ability to do this."
Edward lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly looked up at his teacher, Frank. "Adonis,?"
Edward immediately shook his head. "Impossible, no, absolutely impossible. He's already dead. He's completely dead. Back then, I …"
Frank immediately took out a document and threw it on the table. "These are the legends of the Kingdom of Mara and the Andromeda Mountain. They are about an undead creature called a Lich. I have sent people to check the cemetery where you buried Adonis,. They found that it has been dug up, leaving only an empty grave."
Frank looked at Edward and said, "It can only be him!"
Frank turned away and said, "I am also responsible for what happened that year. I taught him witchcraft. I should also be responsible for the disaster he brought to the human and orc kingdoms!
"This time, I will personally go there and take back all the things that I gave him back then!"
Verthandi sat alone on the throne in the palace hall. The door of the palace was closed, and only the light from the top two windows shone on the floor.
Hundreds of thousands of undead had engulfed the entire Danello City overnight. Within a few days, they had defeated the tens of thousands of Ice Hammer Paladins in the Inan Province.
When Sarga City received the news from the Inan Province, the entire Holy Seville Empire was shocked. No one could believe what they had just heard. There had been no warning, and there had been no warning at all! An army of more than 100,000 ghosts had suddenly appeared from the south, wreaking havoc in an entire province!
The empire immediately arranged for several nearby provinces to deploy troops to the two main routes of advance in the north and east of the Inan Province. At the same time, they accepted a large number of refugees from the Inan Province to prevent the army of the undead from spreading further.
At the same time, Verthandi, in the name of the Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire, immediately ordered the Knights of the North, who were stationed in the south, and several Paladins from other areas to quickly arrive at the front line. Within ten days, nearly 200,000 troops would arrive, and they would launch an all-out attack to wipe out the undead army and the so-called King of the Dead in the Inan Province.
The army would be led by Paladin Ibu. Verthandi, who had lost the Sword of the King, was not much stronger than Ibu. Moreover, as the Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire, she could not easily leave Sarga City.
However, after the naming was completed and everyone dispersed, Verthandi immediately had everyone leave the palace and close the doors. She sat alone on the throne, and her body, which was not very tall to begin with, was bent over her hands, which were resting on the sword.
"April! Delmedi!
"April! It's all my fault that I didn't protect her! "
Verthandi suddenly thought of April. She suddenly remembered that when Delmedi was little, she would hold her cloak and follow behind her, shouting that she wanted to be a great knight like her.
Delmedi was different from Verthandi. Verthandi had been taught by Lu Zhiyu since she was a child, and she had traveled the entire continent and seen everything in the world. Delmedi, on the other hand, had only grown up in the palace of Sarga City, a willful and domineering little girl who would never grow up. Verthandi knew that Delmedi did not have the temperament to be a king, nor did she have the talent to be the Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire.
Verthandi thought of many things. She thought of her childhood in Ayer City, the things that her father, Randhir Eranbell, had told her. She also thought of her childhood, when she had held her father Randhir's leg and laughed.
"Is this my punishment?"
"What am I doing?"
Verthandi raised her head from the throne and looked at the crisscrossing lights at the top of the palace. Compared to the determination and vigor she had when she was young, there was only loneliness and confusion in her eyes.
