Chapter 204: The Relics of the Dark Moon Goddess?
On the soft and luxurious down bed, Deya opened his eyes and woke up.

The bed is so comfortable that you won't want to wake up.

After lying there in a daze for a while, Deya stretched and forced himself to get up.

Directly in front of Deya’s bed was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

When I came to the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw a rolling cloud and a faint sunlight falling on the clouds, reflecting a colorful luster.

Deya's hand slid across the glass, and immediately, the glass in front of him changed like a computer screen.

Various creatures are displayed in the transparent glass. They are living their lives day after day, completely unaware that their lives are being watched by others.

Before traveling through time, Deya had heard of rooms with sea views or lake views.

These houses are built on the seaside and lakeside. When you wake up every day, you can see the beautiful scenery, which is refreshing.

But such empty view rooms are absolutely unique, and in the Nine Rings Tower, Deya enjoyed the happiness of an empty view room.

In particular, these glasses are a bit like touchable mobile phone screens. They are connected to magic, and you can observe the millions of creatures hidden by the mages in the Nine Rings Tower through the glass.

It's like a TV series that's always on, something mages can watch when they're bored.

You can find any program you want to watch here. For example, if you want to watch some pornographic content, there are definitely men and women among these millions of creatures who are doing sports, and you can watch the live broadcast directly.

At the same time, looking at mortals from this god-like perspective will give people a sense of superiority, thus bringing them self-confidence.

"These mages in the Nine Rings Tower really know how to have fun. This is a real-life live variety show. It's more interesting than any movie or TV show."

After watching for a few minutes, Deya ended his observation of the spell. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sally's gentle voice came: "Lord Deya, are you awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake."

As Deya finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Sally, who had long golden hair and prosthetic limbs on her hands and feet, walked in with a tray in her hands.

"Lord Deya, I brought your breakfast."

"Call Lamia and the others, let's eat together."

Not long after, Lamia, who had just woken up, the silver dragon girl Ignis, and the serene Patricia also came to Deya's house and enjoyed breakfast together.

The nine towers in the sky are very large, and there are only a thousand mages in the Nine-Ring Tower. The rooms here can be used at will.

Among these rooms there are luxuriously decorated aristocratic houses as well as simply decorated ordinary houses.

These houses are not chosen according to the level of the wizard, but are left to the wizards to choose.

Some mages must live an aristocratic life to be satisfied, such as Deya.

Some mages do not like these external things. What they need more is simplicity and plainness, so that they can study magic without being swayed by external things.

A few days have passed since arriving at the Nine Rings Tower. Mavis has seldom shown up during this period. As the master of the White Tower, she has a lot of things to do.

As Deya's personal maid, Sally has always stayed by Deya's side and has no interest in the Nine-Ring Tower.

However, Lamia and Ignis are very interested in this place. They have been wandering around here for the past few days, and they will definitely not be able to finish their visit here in the foreseeable future.

Because the Nine-Ring Tower connects countless demiplanes, each demiplane is inhabited by different races. At Ignis's request, the tower masters allowed her to visit those demiplanes, but only asked her not to cause damage there.

After all, even the lords of the towers would not want to offend a nine-ring dragon easily. Human relationships are more important than fighting and killing.

Ignis is a very curious dragon, which is also the character of a silver dragon.

Especially since she had spent most of her 2000 years of life on Sky Island, and now that she could run around, Ignis was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins or a wild dog that had been freed from its chain, wandering around and satisfying her curiosity.

After breakfast, a servant came in and cleared the plates.

In the Nine Rings Tower, in addition to the mages, there are also a large number of servants who take care of the mages' daily life.

These servants have been trained in the Nine Rings Tower since childhood and cannot leave for the rest of their lives.

Most wizards have a weak sense of morality. Their goal in life is to study magic, and do it in any way that is convenient.

"How long are you going to stay here, Deya?"

As a silver dragon, Ignis likes to act in human form, and many of her behaviors are similar to those of humans.

After finishing breakfast, she looked at Deya who was packing to go out and asked.

"I don't know. I may stay here for a few years. If you feel bored, Ignis, you can leave here and go somewhere else."

After finding the magic books to be used for today's study, Deya glanced at the silver dragon and said.

Ignis quickly shook her head: "I think this place is very interesting. The various races in those demiplanes are also very interesting. Even if I stay here for 500 years, I won't feel bored."

Deya chuckled: "Five hundred years is too long for me. I can't stay here for five hundred years without moving."

Then, Deya said to Lamia: "...Lamia, what are your plans?"

The witch said coldly: "It has only been two and a half years since the contract between us. In the next seven and a half years, I will not leave you."

Besides, even after the ten-year contract was over, she wasn't going to leave.

Lamia's only goal in life now is revenge against the Witch Cult, but revenge against the Witch Cult requires great power.

At least before you become an eighth-ring master, don't even think about such things.

The Nine Rings Tower not only has a wealth of magic books, but also has accumulated many methods for warlock training, and Lamia was also allowed to read those books.

So for Lamia, she would rather stay here with Deya to grow together and become stronger together.

She doesn't have much interest in other things.

Since Lamia said so, Deya didn't say anything more.

Sally will not leave his side. As for Patricia, the Dark Moon Goddess who pretends to be a puppet, her concept of time is completely different from that of mortals. She will not simply feel bored.

For her, even drinking a cup of tea can last for several years.

Deya prepared his books, put on a simple black wizard robe, left his house and walked towards the tower in the center of the Nine Rings Tower.

Along the way, the servants passing by made way for him and bowed to him. As a disciple of the Lord of the Black Tower, Deya could be said to be half the master of this Mage Tower, and all the servants here were loyal to the Lord of the Black Tower.

There are hundreds of other necromancy wizards living in this wizard tower, but they can only be regarded as students of Master Irvin, not disciples.

The teaching in the Nine Rings Tower is somewhat similar to that in a university, and as the master of the tower, it is his duty to set aside some time every year for teaching.

The mages of the school are divided into groups such as freshmen and sophomores according to their respective ring numbers, and they go to listen to the lectures of the Lord of the Tower at specific times every year.

During non-lecture time, the mages rely entirely on self-study, and the books in the Nine Rings Tower are open to all members.

All high-level mages do not rely on the teachings of others. Self-study is the path that everyone must take.

The so-called open classes are actually the problems that the mages encountered during the process of self-study, and they got answers from the Lord of the Tower in the open classes in the past few days.

Therefore, every member of the Tower is considered a student of the Tower Master, but the disciple is closer, as he is the one who inherits the Tower Master's mantle.

These days happened to be the days when the Lord of the Black Tower, Irvin, was giving public lectures, and the students he faced were all high-level mages of the sixth and seventh rings.

Walking out of the black tower, Deya came to a high corridor. Below the corridor was swirling clouds, and the other end of the corridor was connected to the tower in the center.

This tower is shared by eight tower masters. It is the core part of the Nine Ring Tower and is also the seat of the Tower Council.

Along the way, Deya also met several fellow six-ring warriors.

These necromancers are all quite old, and the youngest one with six rings is over fifty years old.

Just like Deya's stereotype, most necromancers were unkempt. Although they did not have any bad smell on their bodies, they all looked pale and had dull eyes, like walking corpses.

This is a negative effect brought about by practicing necromancy. When eroded by negative energy for a long time, the body will naturally be closer to the dead.

Necromancers like Deya who are young and handsome are rare.

Almost all the necromancers who saw Deya greeted him with a smile.

Although some necromancers have strange personalities and are rather cold and indifferent to Deya, there is definitely no one who would look for trouble.

There is no fool who can be a magician. Not to mention that the identity of the disciple of the Lord of Deya Tower is different from that of ordinary tower members like them.

The fact that Deya already had the strength of six rings at the age of just over 20 was already something that many people would envy. Such talent frightened everyone, and they almost believed that he would be the absolute strong man of the future.

In the entire Nine-Ring Tower, Deya is the youngest sixth-ring mages. Even including the fourth- and fifth-ring mages, there are few who are younger than him!
When one person is more capable than others, it may cause jealousy.

But when a person transcends one level and reaches another realm, the emotion of jealousy will no longer exist, only admiration will remain.

Deya originally thought that when he came to the Nine Rings Tower to study, he would experience a thrilling and interesting college life.

In the end, he discovered that things were completely different from what he thought. There were very few conflicts between the tower mages, and even if there were conflicts, they were only academic disputes.

These mages are even too lazy to socialize. They don't want to waste their limited time on useless communication and only want to lock themselves up to study magic.

Deya thought about it carefully and found that this situation was quite normal.

A mage who is good at socializing but wastes his time on such things cannot reach a high level. The advancement of a mage requires a lot of research.

It goes without saying that the mages who can enter the Nine Rings Tower are all research maniacs.

When we arrived at the stepped classroom in the central tower, Master Irving had already arrived.

There were only a dozen or so necromancers of the Sixth Ring School. When everyone was present, Master Irwin began his lecture.

Deya was only in the stage of being a wizard's apprentice and listened to his teacher's teachings every day. After he became a first-ring wizard, all his subsequent experiences were self-study.

With the golden finger of the panel, he will never take detours and learns very quickly.

With a teacher teaching him, Deya found that his experience grew nearly twice as fast as that of self-study.

As a ninth-ring wizard, Irvin's time is even more precious, so he teaches one ring for three consecutive days and three nights every year.

During these three days, the mages have to use various methods to keep their minds clear and agile, and tirelessly supplement the misunderstandings and knowledge they have learned.

Three days later, Irwin finished teaching. The corners of his skull's mouth twitched as he said to Deya, "Deya, come with me later."

Although the other necromancers were envious, no one said anything.

Deya is Irwin's disciple, so it is normal for him to be given special treatment. Moreover, with Deya's talent, I'm afraid all teachers are willing to teach him.

"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Deya came to Irwin and asked respectfully.

Irving glanced at Patricia, who was sitting motionless on Deya's shoulder, pretending to be a puppet, and said in a voice that sounded like metallic friction:

"There is something that I want you and Lady Dark Moon to take a look at. It should be Lady Dark Moon's relic... No, it should be her possessions."

Deya's heart moved, but he did not ask what it was. Instead, he nodded slowly and followed the teacher to a higher place in the central tower.

Both the master and the disciple were wearing simple and rustic black wizard robes. They were not climbing the stairs very fast. Deya asked:

"Teacher, I have been familiar with the Nine Rings Tower these days, and I found that many mages seem to be not here?"

Irwin said slowly, "Not long ago, the Narbo Empire launched a war against the Northern Orc Empire, and some mages from the tower were hired by the empire."

Deya finally understood. No wonder there were fewer mages in the Nine Rings Tower than he had imagined. It turned out that they were hired.

Being a mage is a very expensive profession, especially since many of the rare materials used in experiments cannot be bought with money.

The Narpo Empire probably paid a considerable price this time to be able to hire the mages of the Nine Rings Tower to fight for it.

When mages work as a group, the damage they can cause is unparalleled.

It was like the horror of the enemy suddenly having a modern artillery battalion in the era of cold weapon warfare.

Especially this artillery battalion is not ordinary. It can even use abilities such as weather manipulation and even manufacture various Gundams!
A single mage, unless he is of a high level, is of little use in a war.

But as long as they form an army, even a low-level mage can be the most powerful killing machine!
As they were talking, Deya and Irving came to the top floor.

Waiting for them here, besides Adolf, the tower master of the prophecy school, and Mavis, the tower master of the enchantment school, there is also an old lady in a red robe, who is the tower master of the spell school!
