Immortal Fortress.
Below the fortress at the junction of the inner city and the outer city, the narrow black stone streets are getting lower and lower. They circle around and go down, and you come to the underground city of the Immortal Fortress.
As more and more Noxians lived in the Immortal Fortress, many unscrupulous people chose to hide their identities away from the sun and went to the famous underground streets of the Immortal Fortress.
According to the horizontal height from high to low and linked by mirrored corridors, the underground city of the Immortal Fortress is divided into five areas: the old aristocratic area, the new aristocratic area, the civilian area, the underground slums and the Black Rose Academy.
The first two areas are guarded by the Noxian garrison of the Immortal Fortress, and non-nobles are not allowed to enter.
The civilian area has its own set of prevention systems, but there are still many troublemakers lurking in it, doing things like chickens and dogs, but they are still moderate.
Only in the underground slums is it truly an abandoned place. In this disorderly and chaotic place, there are no rules except for the bloody blades and blood money in the hands. Countless lawless gangsters are hiding there. Among them, there are many remnants of the century left over from the Dark Ages. They possess knowledge and technology that can drive people crazy. They hide behind the scenes and control their own territory.
The aristocratic area and the Black Rose Mage Academy are not allowed in, and the slums are not allowed in. Anyone who breaks in without passing the Black Rose review will be mercilessly killed.
Every once in a while, there are many talented, bold and powerful people or murderous fugitives who voluntarily go to the slums to escape the limelight or sell stolen goods. On the contrary, they promote the prosperity and abnormal development of the slums, and also extend the unique character of Knock. The dark forces of Sarth's Immortal Fortress.
It's a pity that the only ruler of the underground world is still the lowest level, the Black Rose Mage Academy, which is close to the underground Black Iron River. It is the only forbidden place that even the nobles cannot enter. Perhaps for the black mage, the various darkness of the fourth level The powerful ones in power are just experimental subjects deliberately kept.
After passing the fourth underground exit of the mirror corridor, Lester decided to go to the slums to see for himself if he had the chance. If he remembered correctly, Tyrone grew up there and was captured by General Du Cacao.
"No one can leave there easily unless you pay a sufficiently generous amount of blood money or obtain the consent of the Black Rose."
As if she knew what the man was thinking, Meredith stopped at the intersection and waved to a fellow mage stationed at the entrance in the distance, who responded politely.
"Lord Leicester, although I do not recommend that you go to this dangerous place in the slums alone, but if you insist on going, please remember that there, the only rule there is that there are no rules. As long as you are strong enough, you can kill people on the street. Murder is as normal as eating and drinking, and in self-defense you can kill anyone without any guilt, but you still have to be careful of some of the old monsters that have survived since the Dark Ages."
Nodding, Lester looked away.
"Come on, now is not the time to go there."
Tali, who followed the two of them, held her staff tightly with both hands without saying a word, looking a little nervous.
Following the mirror corridor to the bottom, the luminous mica and spar illuminated every inch of the dark place. The ethereal voice of the Black Iron River came from deeper. The three of them passed through the tall rock circle and walked down the mirror. gallery.
Seeing the three people coming down, two mage members with black thorns embroidered on the collars of their robes came over.
"That is the Thorn Supervisor. Under normal circumstances, there will be more than two Thorn Supervisors guarding here. In the dark, there are more invisible forces..."
Lester understands Meredith's explanation.
"Master Meredith, these two are the apprentices who are about to enroll, right?"
"Yes."
The mage who spoke could be seen to be a middle-aged man. The male mage took a deep look at Lester, who was gorgeously dressed and well-groomed, raised his eyebrows, and said calmly.
"Are you Lord Leicester?"
"Kenneth, you'd better restrain yourself, lest you die without a burial place."
The female mage said indifferently and said no more.
"Don't worry, Karida, I just want to say hello to the lord, and take a look... what the lord is like."
Waving his hand, Kenneth pressed his aquiline nose toward Lester, his eyes cold.
Staring at the man who 'threatened' him, Lester remained unmoved, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Kenneth, you seem to have something to say to me."
"Yes, my lord, I have no ill intentions. I just want to tell you that in the world of mages, your noble status is worthless. Please remember this, because there are many people here who want it. Watching you have fun, I hate people who want to watch you have fun, so I wanted to give you a little reminder.”
Taking half a step back, Kenneth moved out of the way.
"Go, the door to the mage world has been opened to you. I feel your talent, and I hope you can beat those self-righteous idiots to pieces."
Meredith waited until the two Thorn Watchers were gone before she spoke.
"Master Kenneth is one of the few normal people among black mages. Although his words and deeds can easily be misunderstood, and his appearance is a bit sinister, he is still a good guy. At least he will not stab others behind their backs."
Nodding noncommittally, Lester turned the topic to another female mage.
"That female mage named Karida, what kind of magic is she proficient in?"
"Here, the learning process of every mage is very complex. It is difficult to tell what the secret is from the small learning process... However, Master Karida has never been absent from the shadow magic open class. I think Master Karida is very familiar with shadow magic. Has unique insights.”
As they were talking, Meredith led the two of them outside the magic gate of the Black Rose Mage Academy.
Under the illumination of the magic glow stone lamp, the thorny black roses blooming on the iron fence door are particularly conspicuous, making people unable to take their eyes away.
"This black iron fence door and the wall have very powerful enchanting properties. Trespassers will be marked by magic and will also be rebounded by spells from the entire magic school. The rebound is accompanied by [burn], [soul impact], [shock] [ [Psychic Puncture] and more than a dozen negative states, even the Grand Mage level strength cannot withstand such power, so it is not easy to forcefully break into the Mage Academy."
Putting his hand on the iron fence door, after the magic attribute recognition, the iron fence door slowly opened.
"When your magic aura is registered, you will be qualified to open the door. However, you still cannot enter or exit this door at will without completing the basic course and reaching the level of a black magician."
Before the iron gate was opened, Leicester saw a gray and fuzzy fog inside the college. It wasn't until the door opened and he walked into the college that the isolated perception was restored again. A vast and majestic college Buildings come into view.
