Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

In the ancient capital, the lobby on the first floor of the Clock Tower Magic Association seemed particularly lively today. A large number of people gathered together, making this service hall, which was not very popular on weekdays, seem extremely noisy.

"Sinde, Mios, are you okay?" The coach of the Egyptian national team carefully checked the players of the Egyptian team and asked anxiously.

"Teacher, we are fine." Xinde replied. He did not stop the Guofu mentor's actions. This was also a necessary measure to reassure the latter.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." The instructor heaved a long sigh of relief and was completely relieved. Ever since learning the news that Xinde and others were trapped, the national government instructors headed by him have been terrified and haven't had a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen, and the mentors were most pleased that all members of the Egyptian team were unharmed.

"Xinde, pack up your things. We will leave the ancient capital immediately and head directly to the next training ground. China is too dangerous. We won't stay here any longer."

The instructor asked the Egyptian team to leave, saying:

"Gudu was in the wrong this time, so we just gave you a high score for this experience. There's no need for us to stay any longer."

Thinking of the Egyptian mentor, he felt a little scared. However, before he could take a step, he heard Xinde's rejection from behind.

"Teacher, we are going to the Demon City."

"Demon City?" Hearing this, the Egyptian mentor was confused for a moment and then asked doubtfully:

"Didn't you come to the ancient capital from the Magic City? Why do you want to go back..."

The instructor immediately reacted halfway through his words and said:
"You guys are going to go back and get the emblem of the national pavilion in the Magic City."

After saying that, the instructor glanced at Sayyid who was silently lowering his head in the corner, trying his best to reduce his presence. Under normal circumstances, the instructor would not pay attention to the actions of the National Government team, but the incident of the Egyptian team happened suddenly, so the Egyptian instructor naturally learned about the experience of the Egyptian team.

"We can't leave this country in disgrace." Xinde's serious expression infected the mentor.

"Very good, you are worthy of being our Egyptian genius. You should have such courage."

The mentor was very pleased. Young talents should have this kind of spirit of not admitting defeat. He waved his hand with satisfaction.
"I've approved it. It will take three days. Don't delay your next trip."

"Yes, mentor."

Xinde responded, and then asked the instructor curiously,
"Teacher, do you know the identity of the woman who rescued us this time?"

The instructor shook his head.

"I'm not sure about that. The president of the Ancient Capital Magic Association seems to have kept the identities of these people secret."

Just then, a timid voice came from the corner.

"Captain, I know that woman."

"Hmm?" This voice instantly attracted the attention of all the Egyptian team members. When their eyes converged, who else could the owner of the voice be but Sayyid?

"How do you know that woman?"

Xinde frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sayid spoke cautiously:

"I saw that woman at the Magic City Pavilion last time. She seemed to be a keeper as well."

……

In a hotel room in the ancient capital, Li Yu looked at the complete fish talisman that Ding Yumian casually handed to him with a look of surprise.

"Has this thing really found its other half?"

Li Yu's voice began to tremble. He couldn't believe that such a good thing as pie in the sky would actually happen to him. He tried to probe his mental power into it, but he only felt a gray color full of death. The fish symbol was instinctively blocking his exploration.

"Senior, what exactly is inside this complete fish talisman?"

Hearing this, Ding Yumian, who was looking through the materials from the Ancient Capital Library that he had borrowed through Han Ji, raised his head and said naturally:
"Just as we guessed."

"real?!!"

Li Yu's voice suddenly rose several degrees, causing Ding Yumian to frown.

"Right now I can't control the things inside, I can only borrow a little bit of its power."

"So when can it be done?" Li Yu asked impatiently. He couldn't help but see this legendary force. "According to my calculations, it's very difficult." Ding Yumian finished flipping through the book and said with regret.

"This fish talisman can only be fully opened when my Undead Element reaches at least Super Level 2."

At this point, Ding Yumian simply started to talk about his own experience.
"Also, for some reason, the troops here seem to have suffered very serious losses. It's not the kind of energy shortage caused by the erosion of time, but it feels a bit like they have experienced a war and are almost crushed by external forces."

"..."

Ding Yumian felt chilled just thinking about it. The most tenacious thing about the undead creatures is their vitality. As long as the undead crystals are not broken, they can be reorganized and resurrected almost unlimitedly. And based on her experience of fighting against the Black Armored Cavalry, the undead core of the Black Armored Cavalry is the armor covering their entire body.

In other words, unless the black-armored cavalry were completely crushed into pieces, they would only be reborn again and again. She really couldn't figure out what kind of power could have pushed nearly 3,000 black-armored cavalrymen with average strength into such a miserable situation. If Ding Yumian, the other half of the fish symbol holder, hadn't come to them in time and restored some vitality with the help of the power of magic weapon fusion, within a few years, all of these undead cavalrymen would have turned into ashes.

After listening to Ding Yumian's story from beginning to end, Li Yu's first reaction was,

"Luckily you're here this time, Senior."

What impressed Ding Yumian the most during this experience, apart from the strength of the black-armored cavalry, was her endless gratitude that she had chosen to come to the ancient capital to earn some extra money.

The reason is simple, just like the answer they got from Dean Xiao at the beginning, the other half of the fish symbol is a special closed space that seals the undead army. Due to unknown reasons, cracks appeared in the closed space, and a space door appeared that can lead into the interior of the fish symbol from the outside. The Egyptian team and subsequent personnel were trapped in that space because of this space door.

There is nothing wrong with the experts' research on that space, but it is only half right. The undead space is indeed an assessment site, but the condition for passing the assessment is not just to defeat the black-armored cavalry, but also requires someone to master the other half of the fish symbol.

In other words, if Ding Yumian, who mastered the fish talisman, had not come this time, even if someone else defeated the black-armored cavalry, it would still be impossible to pass the test. This space would turn into a bottomless pit, greedily devouring all life that entered the space.

"It can only be said that it was a coincidence." Ding Yumian shook his head.

Then, Li Yu asked another question.
"Since the troops inside have suffered such heavy losses, how should they recover?"

Ding Yumian spread his hands.
"Let's find a place with plenty of dead energy and slowly repair it. Of course, treasures with sufficient energy will also do."

"Treasure?" Li Yu's mouth twitched.

"What's the price range?"

"Remember the box-sized piece of Taiyin soil you got?"

"Of course I remember."

"Another forty or fifty will be enough."

"Seize the young master?"

"About forty or fifty."

"It would be better to use the core of the earth."

"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? The Core of the Earth." Ding Yumian rolled his eyes helplessly at Li Yu who was fantasizing. How could a magical object that could allow a person to ascend to the forbidden spell be measured by mere money?

Li Yu thought that instead of looking for the Taiyin soil, it would be better to look for the core of the earth.

Forty or fifty boxes of lunar soil of the same size as before are worth hundreds of billions. Where can we raise the money?
If they just want money, it would be fine. Leicheng can provide the money. At worst, the two of them can go to Leicheng to be guardians together. I believe that the great guardian Tian Yi will be very happy to have another victim join him.

But money is money, and Taiyin Soil, an extremely yin treasure, is really beyond the scope for a place like Leicheng that relies on the extremely yang thunder system for its wealth.

The latter method was naturally abandoned, and the only option was the former.

"A place full of dead air..."

Li Yu blurted out: "Isn't it here in the ancient capital?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ding Yumian looking thoughtful.

"I can apply to Dean Xiao to come to Ancient Capital University as an exchange student for two years. It won't be difficult to find a few tombs with plenty of dead energy here."

"No, no, no!" Li Yu hurriedly tried to dispel Ding Yumian's dangerous idea.
"Why don't we consider some rare treasures? If not, wait until I'm stronger, and then we can go out into the wild. What if we find a Core of the Earth?"

What is the difference between finding a grave in an ancient capital and lighting a lamp in a dry toilet?
"..."

While Li Yu and Ding Yumian were talking, another conversation was taking place in the Sha Yuan. (End of this chapter)
