Behind the waterfall, inside the stone wall.
This was a very complicated space.
It had many tunnels, connecting in all directions. Although the tunnels were like the kind dug out during mining, there were magic lamps installed on the ceiling, illuminating the entire space.
"Swoosh!"
With a faint sound of breaking through the air, Sean teleported here and came to this side of the space.
"So it's like this inside?"
Shien first quickly looked around, then with a thought, he snuck into the shadows and hid himself.
"Clang — Clang — Clang — Clang —"
Right in front of Shien, the knights led by Limjow walked forward neatly. The sound of iron boots stepping on the stone floor was quite obvious, and even formed echoes.
"Follow them."
Shien didn't hesitate and directly followed behind them.
On the way, the knights passed through one complicated tunnel after another. They kept turning and turning, as if they were walking in a maze, making people a little dizzy.
Limjow, who was leading the way, didn't feel confused at all. It was as if he had walked these roads many times. His footsteps kept turning, and sometimes he would press on the stone wall to open up a tunnel. He seemed to be very familiar with the way.
"Looks like this guy has been staying here ever since he disappeared."
As Sean thought about this, he followed closely behind.
Gradually, as they went deeper and deeper into this place, Shien also saw some other figures.
Some of those people were knights like Limjow and the others. They were patrolling this place. When they saw Limjow, they would immediately make way and salute him.
Some were slaves or servants doing hard work. They were either moving things or tidying up the mine. Some were even digging something, making this place look like a construction site in full swing.
Shien observed for a while and found that these people's eyes were gloomy and malnourished. They probably didn't have a good life.
Limjow didn't even look at these people, not even the knights. As he continued to walk forward, he began to send the knights around him away, letting them carry out their own tasks.
At once, those knights hurriedly left as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, blending into the surrounding knights.
But Shien still found that the knights following Limjow seemed a little out of place with some of the knights here.
The reason was simple. The knights here weren't just from Duke Stringham's First Knights. There were also knights wearing the standard armor of other countries or the heavy armor of the empire.
In other words, the knights here were most likely a combination of knights from various countries.
"So many knights from different countries are gathered here …?"
Shien was puzzled.
He didn't understand what this place was for.
Limjow didn't know that his rival in love was here. After dispersing the knights around him, he immediately went in another direction.
Shien thought for a while and finally followed.
Next, Sean found that there were more and more knights from various countries, as well as more servants and slaves who were working.
In particular, there were many workers hammering on the stone walls as if they were mining. The entire tunnel was filled with the sound of metal hammering and wheels carrying stones and minerals.
Especially the workers who were using pickaxes to hit the stone walls. There were so many of them that the entire tunnel was filled with the sound of metal hitting and wheels carrying stones and minerals.
"What are they doing?"
There was only one thing he was sure of.
That was, there was indeed a secret here, and it might be a big secret.
Thinking of this, Shien pulled himself together and continued to follow Limjow.
Limjow didn't realize that he was being followed at all. He expressionlessly walked with powerful steps, continuing to walk deeper.
He didn't know how long he walked like this, but suddenly, the people around him started to decrease.
In contrast, the tunnel became narrower and narrower, but it also became cleaner and more beautiful. It seemed like it had been specially repaired and had a sense of ritual.
Under such circumstances, the number of complicated passageways had decreased.
Limjoo followed the passage and arrived in front of a room.
Of course, it couldn't be a real room, but a cave dug out from the stone wall.
There was no door to the cave, only a curtain blocking it.
Limjow lifted the curtain and walked in.
Shien reflexively followed.
The next moment, Shien also entered the room.
"How is it?"
A voice immediately came into Shien's ears and sounded in the room.
It was a very unpleasant voice.
The voice was very loud and hoarse, as if it came from a person with a hole in his throat. Not only did it sound very old, but it also made people feel uncomfortable.
This voice came from a person sitting in front of a stone table in this cave. "Human".
At first glance, Shien even doubted whether the person was human or not.
This was because the other party was only wearing a hooded black robe that covered his entire body. His exposed hands were as thin as bones and as old as wood. The face under the hood could be said to be as old as skin and bones. He did not look like a living person at all. Instead, he looked more like a corpse that had been resurrected.
The corpse in the black robe sat in the middle of the stone room. There was only one stone table in the entire stone room, and there was nothing on the stone table except for a crystal ball.
That scene reminded Shien of those prophets, prophets, wizards or magicians he saw in his previous life.
But what surprised Shien was that this black-robed wizard was a legendary powerhouse with a level of 92, and he was a great mage who had maxed out [Magic, Necromancy].
"Oh my god …"
Shien was indeed surprised.
— Necromancy.
This was a kind of magic that Shien had never seen before, but he happened to know about it.
Many novels in his previous life mentioned this kind of magic, and it was described as a forbidden magic to manipulate the dead.
And in this world, Necromancy was not much different from what was described in the novels in his previous life.
It could indeed manipulate the dead.
However, manipulating the dead was only one of its manifestations.
The real Necromancy was actually the magic to "subvert death".
As the name suggested, it could subvert the concept of death. It could not only manipulate the dead, but also anything related to death.
Once, there was a mage who practiced Necromancy and transformed himself into an undead creature. He led millions of undead corpses and brought great damage to the continent.
In the end, the actions of the Necromancer completely angered the Goddess of Life, Anima. Anima descended and personally punished him.
Since then, Necromancy had become the most forbidden magic. Not only was it regarded as a taboo by the world, but it was also forbidden for any race to practice it or collect the magic books of this magic.
Therefore, Necromancy had been completely lost and no longer existed.
It was not like Celestial Magic, which was difficult to practice and gradually lost its users, so it was sealed away.
Although Celestial Magic had also been lost, its magic books still remained in this world. After being discovered, they were immediately collected by the kingdom.
Necromancy was completely forbidden, and even the magic books were ordered to be burned so that they could not be passed down.
Not to mention the kingdom's underground Spellbook Library, even in any corner of the human world, you wouldn't be able to find a Necromancy book.
Even the Demon World was no exception. Although the six demons did not explicitly prohibit it, they had stated that Necromancy was not to be practiced.
Because of this, Necromancy had disappeared for thousands of years.
Shien did not expect that there would be a Necromancer here. Moreover, the other party had practiced Necromancy to the maximum level and became a Legendary powerhouse.
If this person was exposed, he would definitely be hunted by all the major countries and races. He might even be chased by the Protoss. The world was so big, and there was no place for him.
Only a place like this, where there was no daylight, could accommodate him.
Limcho stood in front of such a Necromancer, and the coldness on his face turned into respect. He bowed and spoke.
"I've already sent people out to investigate, High Priest." Limcho said respectfully, "But, we didn't find anything unusual."
Hearing this, the Necromancer who was known as the High Priest seemed to raise his head.
"You did not find anything unusual?" The High Priest's hoarse voice was heard with an indescribable sense of horror. "Are you sure?"
"Yes … Yes …" There was a hint of fear in Limcho's respectful attitude.
It was obvious that this arrogant and ruthless young master was afraid of this so-called High Priest.
That was natural.
He had witnessed the High Priest draining a knight's blood in front of everyone, turning him into a mummy that could be controlled by the High Priest. In the end, he was eaten by the High Priest's "pet" like a snack.
So, Limcho was really afraid of the High Priest.
Not to mention, the High Priest was the highest person in charge here. He was the Queen's right-hand man, and had the right to punish anyone here.
Back then, when he was brought here, it wasn't that Limjoo didn't want to resist, but under the suppression of this terrifying existence, he eventually chose to submit out of fear.
The High Priest did not know what Limcho was thinking.
She did not care.
There was only one thing that she cared about.
"How can there be nothing unusual?" The High Priest muttered to himself, "My [Death Cloister] clearly reacted, and I saw the presence of a living person, and he is inside the barrier. There can't be anything wrong."
It seemed that Limjow would lead his men out to search because the magic of this high priest had discovered the presence of a living person outside.
As a Necromancer, the High Priest was very sensitive to death energy, and he was also very sensitive to life energy.
Logically speaking, since there was a presence of a living person, he should have found something.
The High Priest became silent, and he reached out to the crystal ball in front of him.
Seeing this, Shien suddenly had a bad feeling.
