When the Undead Canopy was leaked, the most elite troops of the coalition were repairing in the city. The law of death contained in the Undead Canopy launched an indiscriminate attack on the people in the entire city.
Some people successfully escaped, while others, such as George's father-in-law Arthur's father, Uther, stayed there forever. Even if they managed to escape, some of those who escaped were tortured to death because they were infected with the Law of Death. George's master, the wife of the former Phoenix King Atom, La'ette, died because of inhaling too much of the Undead Canopy. This led to physical weakness and eventually death in childbirth.
When the coalition forces finally realized what a huge mistake they had made, it was not that they did not want to make amends. However, all the priests, including the then young Pope, Martin Lewis, could not purify or drive away this darkness. , but the strongest Archangel Michael was sealed by Emperor Gaudos in the battle between them.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, Emperor Gaudos appeared again. Regardless of his past grudges, he came to help. While signing a series of armistice treaties such as compensation treaties, withdrawal treaties, and non-aggression treaties with the other camps, Emperor Gaudos first repaired the seal of the Magic Gate that had been destroyed by the coalition forces to prevent the Undead Canopy from continuing to leak, and then made six He used a forbidden spell-level sealing scroll and summoned his six strongest demons to teleport to six large main cities on the border of the empire at the fastest speed, regardless of time and space distance, using the power of the dark tower in the city. The magic power released the scroll and opened the sealing barrier, locking the undead sky that was constantly devouring the sky and expanding within the Negolas Empire, saving the sky of other camps in this plane.
As a price, the sky of the Negolas Empire was completely shrouded in black clouds that rolled all over the sky. These came from behind the magic door, a black cloud named "Death Plane". They did not just block light and heat. , the most troubling thing is that they can block the connection between the soul of the deceased and the Gate of Reincarnation. In other words, the creatures who died in the Canopy of the Dead cannot rest in peace. In the end, the soul and body are separated, and the soul gradually becomes The unconscious wandering soul's body undergoes corpse transformation under the erosion of dark magic and becomes a walking zombie.
In order to protect the people under the canopy of the undead, Emperor Gaudos relied on his strong appeal to successfully gather a group of top alchemy masters. Under the transformation of the emperor and a group of masters, those large and densely populated cities were Obtained the protection of the barrier.
These barriers are not only used for defense. In addition to isolating the light and heat generated by friction between black clouds, the barriers can also absorb the lightning and thunder above the city as a source of magic power to maintain various functions of the city. operation, city water production, building heat supply, and maintenance of artificial light in every part of the city, etc.
And these are all the stories about the Nicholas Empire that George can recall. However, a story is a story after all. When George witnessed the legendary city of the dead with his own eyes, the shock that came over him could not be described in any words:
In this second-class secondary city called Lijiao, row upon row of tall buildings can be seen everywhere. Due to the lack of light, the air in the Negras Empire is relatively cold, and the buildings that George can see are all wrapped with alchemical heating facilities that are as winding and twisted as gray ivy and like clusters of pipes!
The fast-moving caravans, big or small, were all moving quickly and orderly in the middle of the road, and George noticed that these caravans of different sizes all had one characteristic, that is, the drivers of the caravans and the horses pulling the caravans were both undead. biology. What is shocking is that in the absence of traffic control props such as traffic lights, these caravans can achieve seamless connection without any pause at all!
In this world, cities and towns are divided into four levels based on the scale of biological gathering areas: the lowest fourth-level villages, third-level towns above that, second-level deputy towns that can be called cities, and capital center levels. First-class main city. For example, the Griffin Heart Imperial City that George had visited before was a first-class main city.
George once thought that the center of the Illuminati faith, the Imperial City of Griffin Heart, was already the city with the highest concentration of humans in this other world. However, in this death camp city, the number of humans on the streets was no more than that of Griffins. There are few emperors in the heart.
Not only humans, but also many undead unique to the death camp are also walking with the crowd on the streets, and humans turn a blind eye to their existence and seem to have become accustomed to it.
Skeletons wearing coats and cloaks that are the same as normal humans, but with nothing inside; zombies spraying various perfumes on their bodies to cover up the smell of corpses; floating in the low air three feet above the ground, their feet unable to move Beautiful ghost ladies who are willing to touch the earth; and occasionally, as if to show off their prominent status, they control bat familiars to emit harsh sound waves and pass over the city at high speed in a blood mist state. Vampires.
"Is this... the legendary... magic punk?!"
