Chapter 115 The Secret of Mythical Power, the 'Daughter' of the Lord of the Black Tower?
Nine Rings Tower...

Deya's heart was pounding.

It is known as the 'root of all magic' and is a true temple of spells. It is said that all known or unknown magic books are stored in the Nine Rings Tower.

The Nine Rings Tower is the temple of the mages.

However, as soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Deya.

Even if he went to the Nine Rings Tower now, with his current strength of three rings, all he could do in the Nine Rings Tower was to learn spells from other schools.

In the previous life, a player estimated the time and said that if a mage wanted to learn all the magic and upgrade them to the maximum level, he would not be able to do it even if the game was shut down.

Now Deya also feels the difficulty of upgrading spells.

The higher the level of a spell, the more time it takes to learn it.

Since I have mastered the 'School of Necromancer', I should not learn without mastering it. I should first specialize in necromancy and increase my level as much as possible.

When your strength is high enough and you have enough spare time, you can learn spells from other schools to expand your spell bar and improve the breadth of your abilities.

Therefore, even if I go to the Nine Rings Tower now, I can't actually do anything, and it won't improve my strength much.

Besides, the situation in Susaytani is turbulent at this time. Who knows when the war will come, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

Deya also has relatives.

It would be very embarrassing if, when relatives are fighting for their lives, you have the ability to help them win the war, but instead you go away to study, which ultimately leads to the destruction of your family.

“It seems that you, Deya, are not planning to go to the Nine Rings Tower right now. Well, this is the right choice. My advice is that you should try not to go there before you reach the Six Rings.

Simply locking yourself in a library will not make you stronger, it will only make you weaker.

Research and practice must always be carried out at the same time. What you need now is life experience. With your current theoretical knowledge, you can't research anything useful. "

Irving noticed Deya's emotions and spoke in a soft tone.

"What's here is just a projection of me. Even I don't like to set foot on this continent in person. It's too depressing.

This projection of mine won't last long, so during this time, Deya, you can walk with me. I have some necessary knowledge to teach you."

"Okay, teacher!"

Deya nodded.

He glanced in the direction of Alfred and the others.

Fortunately, although the paladins and druids seemed to be seriously injured, they were not life-threatening, and they are now trying to save themselves.

There was no way to treat Deya, he was just a necromancer. If he wanted to turn them into undead on the spot to save the treatment steps, he could do that.

But he really doesn't know how to treat people's injuries.

As for Teacher Irvin, the Nine-Ring Master also has his own pride, and he didn't even look over there.

If Irwin hadn't known that those paladins were Deya's friends, the 'Banshee's Howl' would probably have taken them away along with him.

Deya accompanied the teacher into the rain forest.

Although the rainforest is not suitable for walking, the teacher likes to walk around when teaching and does not like to stand still.

“I had planned to tell you this knowledge when you were at the fifth ring, but since you were promoted so quickly and met Edwin, the eighth ring priest, I will take this opportunity to tell you in advance.

Deya, do you know what this world is made of? Do you understand where the so-called mythical power, or even the power of the six and eight rings, comes from?"

Deya shook his head.

Teacher, the questions you talk about are too profound. I guess these questions are secrets among secrets and will not be written casually in textbooks!

Irwin didn't think Deya would know, he just kept talking to himself: "The whole world is divided into four levels, at least that's what we mages know from our research.

These four levels are: the divine realm, the creative realm, the outflow realm and the material realm. Overall, it is a triangular structure.

The material world is easy to understand, as that is where we are. The divine world is where the gods are, but I am not very clear about this either.

If I knew more about the divine world, I would be a so-called god now."

Irving himself couldn't help laughing.

But his skeleton couldn't show a smiling expression, and that kind of laughter only made people feel terrified.

Deya listened carefully.

"The key point I want to talk about is the creation world and the outflow world. You have to remember that the manifestation of power is from top to bottom. The power from the divine world first reaches the creation world and creates the original 'spirit' there.

This 'Spirit' is the essence of all living things. All living things you know, humans, elves, undead creatures, celestial creatures, demons, elemental creatures, etc., are all transformed by the 'Spirit'. "

Teacher Irwin carefully considered his words, as if he wanted to make things simpler.

"These 'spirits' continued to move downwards and reached the outflow realm, where the 'spirits' began to differentiate.

They became celestial creatures, demons, elemental creatures, undead creatures, tree spirits and other creatures that did not actually exist in the material world, and they acquired physical forms.

The remaining spirits continued to descend to the material world and became races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs. "

Deya accompanied his teacher walking in the rainforest. He picked a fruit from an unknown plant nearby and identified it with magic.

Not poisonous.

He took a bite and found it unpalatable, so he threw the fruit away again. He said thoughtfully, "So humans were born in the material world, at the bottom, so they are ordinary people after they are born.

As for the celestial beings, demons and other races, they were born in the Formation Realm, so they might have a certain number of rings when they were born, or even six or seven rings?"

There is no such place as the abyss in this world. Demons are not physical creatures, but a kind of "spirit", and the same is true for celestial beings.

Deya already knew this knowledge.

“As you said, this is the reason. Just like we have spells that summon celestial beings and demons, in essence, this spell summons these creatures from the Outflow Plane to the Material Plane.

But you have to remember that in the higher realms of formation there are no concrete material creatures, only the existence of 'spirits'.

If you want to summon creatures such as eight-ring or even nine-ring demons, you need to cross a realm and directly summon the "spirits" from the formation realm to the material realm, and give them entities under the rules of the material realm.

This is why these summoning spells are all above level seven, the difficulty of the spells is simply too high."

Teacher Irwin explained the principles of summoning magic, and then he began to talk about the power of myth: "...Since power flows from top to bottom, if we mortals want to gain power, we must go upstream.

When your strength reaches the fifth ring, you will touch the edge of the material world and the outflow world. As long as you break the channel between the two, you will be qualified to enter the outflow world and thus obtain the power of myth.

But as I said before, the uppermost divine realm influences the lowermost, which means that the power of the nine righteous gods has been influencing everything.

Therefore, there are only nine channels for you to go out of the world, and you can only choose one path to move forward, which is the power of the nine myths."

Names such as Fire of Order, Will of Chaos, Chanter of Silence, Watcher of Balance, etc. came to Deya's mind.

At the same time, it should be the existence of these nine righteous gods that gave birth to creatures such as demons and celestial beings, and each of them corresponds to a god.

Deya thought so. He said, "When the fifth ring is upgraded to the sixth ring, it means breaking through the material world and the outflow world. Then, when the seventh ring is upgraded to the eighth ring, it means breaking through the passage from the outflow world to the formation world."

As for the higher level, about the divine realm, that should be the secret of God!
"Yes, when you reach the eighth ring, you come to the formation realm. This involves the origin of the birth of the 'spirit', infinitely close to the original source. The source of power for the eighth and ninth rings is here.

You don’t need to understand too much about these, just have a general idea. When you have enough strength, you will understand naturally.”

Deya raised his hand, revealing the ring on his finger, and asked, "Then, teacher, what about the forbidden object? What exactly is it?"

Teacher Irwin shook his head: "Forbidden objects are probably the most mysterious things in the world. They even distort the rules of the world.

At first, like many mages, I suspected that forbidden objects were related to God, but in the end it was proved that things related to God might be forbidden objects, but not all forbidden objects were related to God.

There are many things I don’t know, and we need to explore them from generation to generation. This is the meaning of inheritance.”

……

Teacher Irwin's projection disappeared, and he also left.

Deya knew very well that this arrival was just an accident for the teacher.

The teacher still teaches his students with the mentality that children should grow up through their own efforts rather than relying on the protection of their parents.

If a disciple dies on the road to growth, it is only the disciple's misfortune and lack of ability.

As for this arrival, it was due to an emergency. The Church of Silence crossed the border and actually sent out an eight-ring strongman.

Even though the Eighth Ring Priest's initial target was not Deya, his goal was [Transcend Death], and he just happened to meet Deya.

Back to where they were just now, the injured Alfred and Upton were resting against a stone pillar.

Next to them, the other paladins were lying on the ground.

Fortunately, it was not covered with white cloth.

Deya hurried over and asked with concern: "Alfred, Upton, are they okay?"

Alfred smiled bitterly and said, “Fortunately, we received treatment in time and we are all fine. Don’t worry. Fanny and the others are all paladins and their resistance is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although he was seriously injured this time, his life is not in danger. However, I am afraid we will not be able to return to Abramana for some time, so we need to recover from the injury first."

Hearing that everyone was fine, Deya was relieved. He said, "Didn't I let you run away? Why did you come back?"

Alfred shook his head: "We sensed a strong aura of death and were afraid that you were in danger, so we wanted to come and help.

We, the Paladins, still have some resistance to the power of the Death Realm, but we didn't expect to encounter such... such a terrifying enemy."

Upton, the middle-aged wood elf, said in a muffled voice: "You have done me and my people a favor. I cannot bear to see you in danger."

Deya opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Although they couldn't help much, their desire to help him was sincere.

"The lich that appeared at the end...is he your teacher, the Lord of the Black Tower?"

Alfred looked at the land that had turned into fine sand not far away with a complicated expression and asked in a low voice.

Deya nodded.

"Lord of the Black Tower?"

The wood elf Upton had never left the rainforest, and he had no idea who the Lord of the Black Tower was.

"A nine-ring necromancer."

Alfrey's words filled the wood elves with awe.

It turns out that Deya is actually a disciple of a Nine-Ring Great Wizard. No wonder he is so powerful!
That’s the Nine Rings, and he’s a wizard!

"Luckily, the Lord of the Black Tower is here this time, otherwise we would all die here."

Alfred breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully.

It was not advisable to stay here for long, so Deya summoned the ghost horse again, carried the seriously injured people and left here.

……

Narbo Empire, Cathedral of Silence.

The church was dark and silent, with only the faint sound of hymns sung by young women echoing faintly in this peaceful church.

"Irfan Aldrich, what are you doing here? The Church of Silence does not welcome you!"

In the church, a woman in church clothes and with a serene and distant temperament was standing under the statue.

She wore a hat that looked like a crown, with a dark veil hanging from the brim, covering half of her face, leaving only her small nose and cold red lips exposed.

"You just injured Edwin. It will take a long time to recover from such an injury. You came to the church now. Are you trying to repeat the same mistake?"

Pope Grace Jean de Maui II of the Church of Silence spoke in a voice that sounded like the sound of a silent bell.

"Grace, I haven't seen you for two hundred years. In my memory, you are still that naughty little girl."

The lich in gorgeous black robes spoke in his unpleasant voice that sounded like metallic friction.

His tone was calm, but there was a barely perceptible hint of reminiscence.

"The one standing before you now is the Pope of the Church of Silence. I hope you can recognize our identities, Irfan Aldrich."

As the Pope of the Silent Church said this, various images flashed through his mind.

That was a picture from a very long time ago.

At that time, Irvan Aldrich was not a lich, but a human, a powerful necromancer whose fame had spread throughout the Narpo Empire and was also a special advisor to the Church of Silence.

That year, she was still a child, worshiping this powerful wizard, and even worried about whether to become a necromancer or a priest of the Church of Silence.

As a disciple of the previous Pope, Gracetaf had a lot of contact with Irfan. In her heart, she regarded this gentle necromancer as her "father".

The other party also took care of her for a long time, just like taking care of his own daughter, and watched her grow up.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? If you want to apologize for hurting Edwin, I accept that."

Irrfan smiled and said, "No, I will not apologize. I came to make a promise with you."

"What agreement?"

No matter what the agreement was, Grace Taff didn't want to agree to it.

But she was still prepared to listen to what Irfan had to say, and she knew that she would probably agree to the agreement.

There is no other reason, just because I can't defeat this lich...
