Necromancer: A New Era

Time flies. It has been a year since Ming Yin came to the Mage Tower. Ming Yin is a special existence. He is different from those mages who study fire, frost or storm spells. He focuses on the necromancy that most people avoid. His figure often wanders in the shadow of the tower, accompanied by death and the dead. After many unsuccessful attempts, Hekris had to give up. The key is that Ming Yin can master the subjects he teaches very quickly. Finally, after consulting Master Field, Hekris no longer opposes Ming Yin to continue studying necromancy.

Ming Yin's daily life is immersed in a sea of ​​magic knowledge and ethnic legends. Although his wizard level is still at level 3 in the past year, his accumulation of magic knowledge and spellcasting experience have been greatly improved, as if they have been sublimated. During the day, he would spend time in the spacious reading room, reading the history and legends of various races in the Apocalypse Continent, from ancient elf secrets to barbarian war spells. When night falls, he returns to his research room, which is full of mystery and gloom. The walls are covered with various bones and dried magic plants, and the central laboratory table is filled with various magic reagents and thick magic books.

In this seemingly peaceful college life, Ming Yin is always secretly studying the necromancy in his gifted magic book. This kind of magic is considered taboo because it involves direct communication with death and souls, just like exploring an unknown abyss in the dark, full of mystery and danger. But Ming Yin has an unusual persistence and interest in this. He believes that death is not the end, but another form of beginning, just like the darkness before dawn, which breeds new hope.

From time to time, Ming Yin would cast flesh and blood magic to enhance his own physique, and at the same time, he was constantly strengthening the body of the undead Aaron, as if he was shaping a fine work of art. Under continuous strengthening, the undead Aaron has broken through to level 5. And Ming Yin's body is also getting healthier under continuous strengthening, and the changes in just one year are huge. The childishness between his eyebrows has faded, and he has become more and more handsome. His face is like a sculpture carefully carved by a master sculptor, every line is just right, exuding a charming charm, as if it is a work of art.

However, his peace did not last long. Ever since coming to the Mage Tower, Ariel would come to him for various reasons. She was full of curiosity about Mingyin's necromancy, and she always looked for opportunities to get close to him, trying to understand this mysterious and lonely mage.

The trip a year ago left such a deep impression on her that she couldn't help wanting to come and see this "big ice block"

"Ming Yin, can your magic really enable you to communicate with the dead?" Ariel asked this more than once, with curiosity and exploration flashing in her eyes.

Ming Yin always responded with silence. He didn't like to explain his magic too much, and didn't want to share this secret with outsiders. But Ariel's persistence and innocence made him feel unprecedentedly troubled.

Under Ariel's "harassment", Ming Yin's research life became more complicated. He had to spend more energy to avoid the questioning of this "curious baby". Sometimes, he would leave the Mage Tower late at night and go to the cemetery outside the imperial capital, where he really performed necromancy.

In the cemetery, Ming Yin would summon those souls that were hovering on the edge of life and death, and draw knowledge and power from them. He discovered that necromancy was not just about communicating with the dead, but also a profound magic that could manipulate life energy. Through research and experimentation, Ming Yin gradually mastered a spell called "Sacrifice of the Dead", which could transform the vitality of the dead into the mage's own power, thus greatly enhancing his magical power.

But the research of this magic was not smooth sailing. Once, Ming Yin almost lost control of himself while conducting a dangerous experiment. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ariel unexpectedly appeared in the cemetery, and her magical power inadvertently helped Ming Yin stabilize the out-of-control magical energy.

"You... why are you here?" Ming Yin looked at Ariel in surprise, a rare trace of panic on his face.

"I...I'm worried about you." Ariel whispered, her eyes full of worry, "You're always studying these dangerous magics, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Ming Yin was silent for a moment, then sighed softly. He knew that he could not escape the curiosity and concern of this "curious baby". Perhaps, in some unknown future, they would move towards a completely new destiny because of this special bond.

Time passed slowly in the daily life of the Mage Tower, and the relationship between Ming Yin and Ariel changed imperceptibly. It seemed that a wonderful bond had formed between them. And this period of time in the tower, full of challenges and unknowns, became an unforgettable chapter in the lives of both of them.

At the top of the Mage Tower, Master Field stood in front of the window of the Mage Tower, looking at the young man in the crystal ball. A hoarse and low voice came from behind Field.

"Are you ready? The militant faction in the clan can't wait any longer!"

"Humph! I haven't completely mastered this body yet, and the ring has not been found yet. Field's soul is hidden in it. I was just one step away back then. How abominable!"

The shadow said slowly: "Who would have thought that if it weren't for the soul search of that alchemy apprentice thief, who would have known that Field actually hid the ring in an ordinary alchemy notebook!"

"There is a high probability that the ring is in the hands of this young man, but after a year of observation, we have not found any clues. We can only find a way to test it. We can't wait any longer."

Field seemed to have made arrangements in advance. He said calmly, "We are only one step away from controlling the Mage Tower. We cannot leave. However, let's make some arrangements. The Holy Empire is going to send an exchange group here. We can take this opportunity to ask the Alliance Empire to send an exchange group as well. In this way, the people controlled by the clan can enter the Mage Tower legitimately."

Black Shadow thought about it and nodded in agreement. He knew that this was a good opportunity for them to penetrate deeper into the Mage Tower. Moreover, if they could successfully control the Mage Tower, it would be a huge advantage for the demons.

"Oh? That's a great idea! If everything goes well, we might be able to find the ring, find Field's soul, and find the final condition to control the Mage Tower." The shadow said calmly. Field also nodded slowly, expressing his confidence in the plan.

Everyone in the Mage Tower was still doing their own work as planned, and everything was calm as usual. However, they didn't know that a huge storm was brewing. And the center of this storm was the Mage Tower.
