Chapter 412: Volume 8 Gathering of the Storms Chapter 7 Evil Dragon

"Uh, right, Newman, didn’t you say that the wall over there has been taken care of? When can we break through it?" Speaking of the magic prohibition in the castle, Rebry and the slender mage both gleamed with excitement, hardly able to wait to smash open the wall and see for themselves.

"It’s not that simple. Although I’ve found the mechanism to open the wall, and I’ve tried to activate it, there is a powerful mana Space Magic behind the wall, seemingly connected to a Different Space. If we’re not careful, we could either step into a Different Space inadvertently, or some creatures from that space could jump out at us, and then we would really be in for a busy time. We need to find a way to seal or destroy this Space Magic before we can say we’ve passed the first challenge."

The thin and dry magician, equally animated about his achievements, said, "But to seal or destroy this Space Magic, we’ll still need some props. There aren’t any magic tools shops in the Caucasus, and even magic materials are hard to come by. That magic tools shop opened by Mr. Hesse is purely a variety goods stall prepared for adventurers, with nothing appealing. I had no choice but to ask for some to be sent from Jazair or Prague, which I believe should arrive soon."

Prague is located in the middle reaches of the Vltava River and is the capital of Bohemia Kingdom. It is also the headquarters of the famous Sacred Wings Magic Guild and, apart from the Church of Light, the holy land for magicians.

Here there are many places for magicians to exchange ideas and it is also the Blue Continent’s largest and most renowned supply center for magic tools and magic materials. The Talin River Valley area in the northeast of Bohemia is a well-known Magic Metal mining region, producing Mystic Bronze, Luminous Flame Stone, and other magic ores that are indispensable materials for creating magic tools and weapons.

The rich atmosphere of magic here has always attracted magicians and enthusiasts from all over the Continent to journey here for pilgrimage and scholarly exchange. Bohemia Kingdom’s court alone boasts more than 40 court mages, and the number of magicians exceeds one hundred, more than any other country.

Here, as long as you have the qualifications of a magician or higher, you can be sure the Kingdom Court will treat you as an honored guest. Whether or not you wish to serve the kingdom, as long as you are willing to stay, the kingdom will provide you with free food and lodging to make you feel at home.

If you are willing to be employed as a court mage, the generous perks are sure to make you reluctant to leave, and the plethora of beautiful women in Bohemia is enough to make many magicians linger and forget to return. Although the National Rublea Magic Academy is only a primary academy for training Magic Apprentices, and its scale is not large, this is enough for all the nations of the Continent to take note; no one dares underestimate the tremendous potential this academy can exert.

This is also the place most beloved by magicians for living and for life; it is recognized as a veritable magic paradise.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Like all magicians, Rebry was already full of anticipation. Although staying in Damarlinsk Castle is a fine choice for a holy land of cultivation, who could sleep soundly knowing that there could be countless treasures waiting to be discovered right beneath them?

"Soon. Once the few materials I need arrive, we can seal that Space Magic. The remaining prohibitions shouldn’t block our way forward. You too should prepare well, as there might be various hazards, like we predicted. The richer the treasure, the more likely there are dangers around, with unavoidable magic traps and physical ones, and possibly undead creatures too. We should prepare some necessary items." The thin and dry magician advised the two.

"Mr. Newman, can you be certain there are undead creatures inside?" Komer, who had approached, couldn’t help but interject with the question.

During this time, Komer had also been persistently practicing with that thief’s body. Although he had made significant improvements in his Magic Manipulation Technique, cultivating the corpse hadn’t gone as smoothly as he had imagined, especially as he reached a certain level of progress; advancing further was not so easy. This was the so-called bottleneck phenomenon.

With Komer’s diligent training, the thief had already been able to move freely according to Komer’s commands, and Komer was overjoyed when he discovered the thief’s own fighting qi strength.

Through Komer’s diligent fusion, he had already been able to drive the corpse to unleash Demonic Fighting Qi when necessary. This was a kind of control technique that merged Necromancy with the body’s inherent fighting qi. However, this control technique was very taxing on spiritual power, and maintaining the corpse in a battle-ready state with this Demonic Fighting Qi for a long time was quite difficult.

How to keep the body in this powerfully offensive state for an extended period and to further improve its Demonic Fighting Qi level has always been an important subject of Komer’s intensive study.

What troubled Komer was not just the issue of Demonic Fighting Qi. How to quickly convey his mental commands to the body was another challenge. Though Komer could now issue some simple orders to the body without necromantic spells, more complex commands still required chanting spells beforehand, significantly limiting the body’s response capabilities.

The main problem was that due to the body’s death, the soul memory contained within the corpse would dissipate in a very short time. Of course, if the soul memory could be preserved in the shortest time, retaining some subconscious reactive abilities, then the body could become a vessel for a necromancer’s cultivation.
