Necromancer: A New Era

The morning light shines through the gauze-like clouds, and falls on the ancient tower in patches, with light and shadow interweaving. In the garden in front of the ancient tower, exotic flowers and plants bloom in dreamlike colors under the nourishment of morning dew, magic elves fly up and down, and the rich fragrance flows in the air, intoxicating people.

In this picturesque scene, the beautiful Ariel has been waiting here. She is dressed in a white robe that is whiter than snow, and her figure is graceful and elegant like a person in a painting. Her eyes are full of expectation and longing. She stands quietly in front of the tower, as if she and the surrounding scenery have woven a beautiful picture together.

Ming Yin, after a night of meditation and practice, finally walked out of the tower slowly. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and he exuded an indescribable mysterious charm. When his eyes met Ariel's, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face, and she walked towards him slowly, meeting his gaze.

"Good morning, Mingyin." Her voice was as gentle as the morning breeze.

"Morning, Ariel," he responded, his voice devoid of emotion.

"We should get going. The event delegation is about to arrive," she suggested, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

They walked side by side. Although Ming Yin was silent along the way, Ariel tried to break the silence with her silver bell-like laughter and eloquent narration. Her words were full of endless expectations and curiosity about the upcoming delegation.

When they arrived at the square, it was already crowded. Students gathered together, and volunteers were busy preparing to welcome the delegation. Ariel's appearance immediately caused a commotion, especially when she walked side by side with Ming Yin, which attracted countless envious and jealous eyes.

Several handsome male students came forward, but when they saw Ming Yin and Ariel talking intimately, their faces suddenly changed. One of them even stepped forward impulsively to question Ariel. However, Ming Yin only frowned slightly, and an invisible pressure was emitted, causing those students to involuntarily step back a few steps.

Ariel responded to their questions coldly, her words revealing unquestionable firmness and determination. Ming Yin remained silent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

With the arrival of the delegation, the scene became more lively. Ming Yin quietly stepped aside, as if all the noise had nothing to do with him. However, his eyes keenly caught a few unusual people in the delegation, and he secretly thought that this event was unusual.

Ariel walked up to him and introduced him to the important figures in the delegation.

"The first to arrive were the Holy Empire team. The one walking in front was the Holy Empire Princess. Next to her was the Holy Maiden of the Holy See. The two behind were fifth-level divine magicians from the Holy Empire Academy, and the other was a fifth-level Templar Knight from the Holy See."

Her voice was gentle and emotional as she described the characteristics and background of each person to Ming Yin, who listened to her quietly, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.

At this moment, an old man who looked like a teacher came hurriedly, expressed his respect to Ming Yin and invited him to the seat specially prepared for him. Ming Yin glanced at Ariel beside him.

The old man understood immediately and said, "This female student can come with us." So, under the guidance of the old man, she walked to the front of the platform.

After sitting down in the front seat, Ariel continued to introduce: "Look! The people from the Southern Alliance Empire have also arrived. The one in front is a 6th-level knight, the one behind is a 5th-level magician who is also the prince of the Southern Alliance Empire, and the three mages behind are a 5th-level ice mage, a 5th-level fire mage, and a 5th-level necromancer."

Hearing the word "necromancer", Ming Yin narrowed his eyes. He had never seen a necromancer in this world before, and he didn't know what they were like or what their necromancy spells were. At this time, warm applause broke out in the square, welcoming the arrival of various delegations.

Ming Yin's attention was completely focused on the necromancer. He always felt that there was a strange aura around this necromancer.

The event officially began and the host came on stage and delivered a brief opening speech.

Then, members of each delegation demonstrated their strength one after another, with their divine arts and magic shining brightly, which was a feast for the eyes.

However, among the many wonderful performances, Ming Yin always paid attention to the necromancer. He found that every time the necromancer cast a spell, the air around him would become unusually heavy, as if an evil force was spreading.

Ming Yin discovered that the necromancers in this world exuded an evil temperament, without the dark aura revealed by the mages in his innate undead magic book.

Just as Ming Yin was lost in thought, the elite students of the Imperial Academy had already come on stage and began to demonstrate their magic skills. Ming Yin had witnessed the spells of these students before, as they had all been to the Mage Tower.

Every time a magic spell is performed, it is accompanied by thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, as if it is the highest praise for the beauty of magic.

At this moment, the old man who had talked with Ming Yin before walked slowly in front of him and said in a respectful tone: "Lord Hercules has specially instructed that you come on stage and show us your magic."

Ming Yin smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking: "Showing it in this kind of occasion will make me the focus of everyone's attention. It's really a headache."

The moment he stepped onto the stage, whispers immediately broke out from the audience.

"Who is this person? Is he from our college?"

"Never seen him, have you?"

"Isn't this the guy who was talking to Ariel just now? Damn it, Ariel never smiled at me!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ming Yin slowly took out his staff. He waved it towards the sky, and three fireballs shot up into the sky. Then, he quickly condensed three ice spears and shot them accurately at the fireballs. When the fireballs flew to a certain height, they suddenly expanded and became larger, as if three small suns were hanging in the air. At this moment, the three ice spears also quickly grew larger, like three huge ice pillars, drawing cold rays of light in the air, and finally hitting the fireballs accurately.

The collision of the fireball and the ice spear caused a shocking explosion, and various elements intertwined in the air to form a gorgeous picture. After this shocking magic display, a huge rainbow appeared in the sky, as if it was the highest praise for this magic feast.

The audience burst into thunderous applause, mixed with shouts, and many people in the audience had different reactions, some were dismissive, some were amazed, some had deep envy in their eyes, and some were intoxicated by this beautiful scene. Some even learned new spellcasting techniques from this display, and some secretly compared themselves with Ming Yin.

The members of the delegation on the stage all had eyes that sparkled with appreciation and admiration for Ming Yin's spellcasting skills. The Imperial Saint stared at Ming Yin intently, her bright eyes reflecting Ming Yin's dazzling magic light.

As the night fell and the stars twinkled, Ming Yin returned to the silent Mage Tower under the moonlight. He sighed softly, "What a waste of time. I might as well study magic."

Just as he was about to step into the tower gate, a gentle sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. A graceful figure slowly approached, and it turned out to be the saint of the Vatican.

"Hello! Nice to meet you. I'm Cavlin Anna." Her voice was sweet and gentle like jade.

Ming Yin's eyes lit up immediately. This saint was so beautiful. She was wearing a pure white robe. Her long golden hair was as smooth as silk and was lightly tied up with a unique hairpin, which made her look mature and playful. Her facial features were like a finely crafted work of art. Her lips were naturally rosy without any makeup. The crystal earrings swayed in her ears, adding a bit of agility to her beauty. She had a graceful figure. Her robe was elegantly split to her thighs, revealing her jade-like soft and slender legs. Under the transparent boots, her crystal toes were looming, and her beauty was breathtaking.

Ming Yin secretly admired her in his heart. Such beauty is rare in the world. He gently shook her outstretched hand and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Cosimo Ming Yin."

"I'm sorry to bother you so late. I just saw you performing magic and your skills were truly amazing, so I couldn't help but want to come and get to know you." Anna's voice was full of sincerity and praise.

Ming Yin smiled faintly and said with some self-mockery: "You flatter me. I am weak and only know some fancy and impractical techniques."

However, Anna didn't seem to care about his self-mockery, but invited him warmly: "I have some magic questions I want to discuss with you tomorrow. Are you free?"

Ming Yin wanted to refuse, but somehow he agreed. He was afraid that if he said a few more words, he would lose his composure, so he hurriedly apologized and fled into the Mage Tower.

Anna looked at his hurried back, and was stunned at first, then smiled. Am I scary? Ran away? However, after this smile, she also turned and left, leaving the bright moon in the night sky, quietly shining on this ancient wizard tower.
