The streets of Heidler City were not as messy and dirty as Donny imagined, covered with rotting corpses, but on the contrary, they were clean and wide, and there were many pedestrians coming and going.
However, the bustling streets, which should be lively and noisy, were very quiet, almost no one was making loud noises, and even the communication between each other was as small as mosquitoes and flies, as if there was a strange force here that forbade the noise.
Upon closer inspection, Donnie realized that most of the "pedestrians" coming and going were undead, including corpse dogs with strange red eyes, "skinless people" whose skin was stripped of to reveal flesh and blood, as well as common ghosts, zombies and skeletons.
Of course, among these undead, there were also necromancers wearing dark magic robes passing by, most of them were not as gloomy and rigid as Donny had imagined, and they were smiling as when talking to their companions, but their voices were relatively low.
"It's a pity there is no lich ......," Donnie sighed in a low voice.
In Heidler City, Sammy seemed to be in extra good spirits, although he still looked sleepy, but at least he didn't yawn frequently, he rubbed his messy hair like a bird's nest, and smiled: "Most of the lich gentlemen don't like to go shopping......"
It should be said that they basically have no desire in this regard...... Donnie turned sideways and let a hellhound with three heads, tall and robust, with a blazing flame flowing from the corner of its mouth, but wearing a collar around its neck, pulled by a petite female magician, running slowly in front of her.
"This cerberus is about the same size as a bull......" When the female magician left, Donnie couldn't help but say, this body contrast was too big.
Sammy smiled and said, "I saw a Mr. Lich walking a bone dragon in mid-air yesterday, almost the size of a hundred hellhounds."
He arrived in Heidler City yesterday and temporarily stayed at 152 Ghoul Street, waiting for the students who arrived today to go to the academy together.
"Awesome." Donnie looked at the sky with envy, and at this time, they had already walked to Ghoul Street, and the magic tower that went straight into the sky made it impossible to ignore its existence.
Suddenly, an ivory skull floated out, and there were two needle-like red rays in the eye sockets, strange and unique, his two rows of teeth opened and closed up and down, making a piercing sound without ups and downs: "All the freshmen gather, go to the academy, and wait for the day after tomorrow."
The sound was as ugly as if someone was scraping bones with rusty iron, causing Donnie to shudder slightly, and he and Sammy walked into the hall to assemble.
"Show your admission letter and the identity stamp inside." Before Donnie could stand firm, an expressionless man came over, his face was sallow, his blood vessels were clearly visible, and his eyes were the same needle-like red light as the lich.
Donnie quickly took out the admission letter and a black beetle: "Yes, teacher."
"Call me Mr. Robert." The man's voice was strangely gentle and mellow, and when he looked at the black beetle, it seemed to reflect a faint red light, "Well, Donny, you don't need to apply for accommodation, just follow us to the academy."
After saying that, he returned the admission letter and the beetle to Donnie, paused and said: "It just so happens that I am one of the instructors in the field of body structure and genetics, I hope you will not live up to your current grades and foundation."
After a while, Sammy looked at Robert who had already walked to the other side of the hall, and whispered: "It is said that Mr. Robert is very close to the high-level, well, his body has been modified by himself many times, and no one knows what special abilities his body has."
"Well, Mr. Robert puts a lot of pressure on me......" In the cold environment of Heidler City, Donnie also broke out in a cold sweat, and then followed Sammy's gaze to look at Robert, and saw him stopped in front of the live broadcast screen in the hall, looking at the funny entertainment program inside, with a suspicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
「…… I didn't expect Mr. Robert to love watching TV with a dead face......" Donnie said with a slightly shocked expression.
Sammy looked at him in a daze: "Can't you watch TV with a dead face?"
"Uh......" Donnie was defeated by Sammy, and quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to the academy soon, I heard that the academy is not in the city, in a mysterious place?"
Sammy nodded seriously: "I heard that it is a very suitable place for necromancers to play."
When the two talked about this matter, they both had a strong curiosity and wondered where it was, could it be inside the giant tomb?
After a while, the ivory lich flew back and continued to say in that ugly voice: "Follow me closely, don't get lost, once you get lost, I will default to you being dead and will not go looking for you again."
This sentence made Donny's heart rise, and even a person as confused and dull as Sammy suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire team became extremely silent.
Following the lich, Donnie and the others crossed Ghoul Street, through the Avenue of Souls, through the Brainplasma Square, and arrived at a building that looked no different from other magic towers.
"This is the academy?" Donnie looked at the magic tower in front of him with a little disappointment.
The lich stopped, floating in front of the door of the Magic Tower, reciting a hoarse, ugly, simple and difficult spell from her mouth.
A layer of shadow emerged from the patterned rock on the ground, spreading and growing, and soon covered the gate, making it dark and deep, with a gently swaying surface.
"Follow me." The lich ordered coldly, did not open the door, and went directly into the shadows and disappeared.
This weirdness made Donny and Sammy hold their breath again, and slowly moved behind the apprentice in front of them with slight nervousness, not knowing where the shadow would lead.
Unfortunately, no matter how slow they moved, they still walked to the "shadow gate", gritted their teeth, and Donnie walked in.
The body seemed to be immersed in the depths of the lake, dull and depressing, it was the feeling of almost drowning when he was a child, and then, Donnie only felt that his body was light, and he was out of the "water", and the black, white and gray in front of him.
This is a messy and decaying city, except for the monotonous black, white and gray, there is no color at all, even the wind is frozen in mid-air, like a quiet and eerie sketch.
Donnie looked at the sky in astonishment, only to see that it was as gray and dim as the city of Heidler, but the sun could no longer be seen!
The basic knowledge about xenoplane space quickly gushed out of Donny's mind, and he said loudly to Sammy, who was dazed next to him: "Necromancer!"
However, after blurting out, Donnie didn't hear even a little sound, everything was so quiet, like the eternal darkness and sleep.
Sure enough, it was the necromancer world, Donnie exhaled, his body had the "illusion" of gradual decay, only this place could be called the most suitable place for the necromancer to play, but I heard that this place is very dangerous, even high-level magicians have the possibility of falling, after all, undead beings without wisdom don't care what background you have, what force you belong to, whether you have money at home or not, they are only full of desire for fresh flesh and blood.
"Follow me, repeat again, don't get lost." The lich didn't know what spell was used, and the voice sounded in everyone's heart.
Donnie patted Sammy, who was stunned next to him, and followed the lich with caution and focus, for fear of breaking away from the team and facing the tidal undead alone in the necromancer.
Passing through the silent "city", the team stepped into a desolate wilderness filled with wandering ghouls, with rotten faces and hideous expressions, as if they could "smell" the indescribable stench.
And a little further away, there were many semi-blurred ghosts, they floated in mid-air, transforming into black robes.
Such an environment, such a scene, made the ghost behind Sami rise up, holding his head high, letting out a silent scream, raising his hands high and waving them back and forth vigorously.
Hehe, Donnie looked at this scene amusedly, and Sammy also shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, the gray and white sky became gloomy, as if dyed with a layer of black, no, it was not black, but ghosts gathering from all directions!
They also let out silent screams, flying towards Sami overwhelmingly, terrifying coercion, strong breath of death, and mighty scene, which frightened many apprentices to soften, this, is this encountering a natural disaster of the undead?
Donnie's body trembled slightly, and he grabbed Sammy, signaling him to quickly stop the ghost behind him.
At this time, the lich in front let out a cold snort, and a dark curtain appeared out of thin air, covering everyone.
When the shady scene disappeared, Donnie realized that he and the others had gone deep into the wilderness, far away from the previous "ghost army".
"Take care of your ghosts." The lich said coldly.
"Yes, sir." Sammy replied in a trembling voice, while the ghost behind him curled up on all fours, hugging him in a ball, like a frightened child, as if he was still crying silently.
Donnie glanced at this ghost with tears and laughter, you were also frightened by the "ghost army"? You almost turned us all into ghouls.
Not long after pulling Sammy, who was weak in his legs, Donny's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a magnificent city appear in the black, white and gray solidified world, with black, silver, or white spired magic towers, showing additional colors, and between the magic towers there were rare overpasses, connecting all directions, complex and exquisite.
Around the city, there is a quiet cemetery, dotted with dense graves and black tombstones slanted in it.
"The tombstone inserted diagonally...... Donnie was stunned for a moment.
After passing through this cemetery, Donnie and the others arrived at the edge of the city under the leadership of the lich, and when they passed through the city gate that was dozens of meters high, the solidified and oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared, and a kind voice sounded in their ears again, as if they had suddenly returned to the realm of the living from the territory of the dead.
"Everyone, you have also seen that without the guidance of a senior instructor, you cannot leave here, so you can only study and study hard and hard, and the fallbacks will not be able to go home every year, okay, welcome to Heidler Magic Academy, please use your identity seal and admission letter to receive the academy's robe and badge, and then go to your dormitory according to the logo in the badge." After the lich finished speaking, he disappeared in place.
Donnie took the frightened Sammy and Ghost to receive the Academy's black magic robe and "Pale Flame" badge at the magic tower next to him, and walked to his bedroom while asking for directions.
When he was about to reach the dormitory, Sammy exhaled and rubbed his hair: "The Necromancer is so scary, it scared me to death just now......"
As he spoke, he pushed open the door, and then he froze in place, blocking Donnie's view from behind.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, we went wrong! Sami stammered and bent down to apologize.
Donnie subconsciously looked up at the house number: "'Tower of Life No. 202 in the Origin Zone, there is nothing wrong."
