The City of the Night had a long history. Before the division of the Empire, it was already an important border town with very developed trade.
Because of the conflict between the rulers, the Empire had been divided and disintegrated thousands of years ago.
The originally huge Empire was dismembered into three kingdoms: Order, Freedom, and Chaos.
As the name suggested, the City of the Night was under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Freedom, without the strict rules of the Kingdom of Order.
For example, Necromancers were called heretics in the Kingdom of Order.
The Kingdom of Chaos was too loose, and most of the Empire's people subconsciously did not regard it as a normal kingdom.
The Kingdom of Chaos was more like an adventurer's paradise.
The Kingdom of Freedom bordered the Federation, and the City of the Night happened to be at the border. During the war years, many heroes emerged from the City of the Night.
For example, what Kyle saw now.
The city walls towered like black iron, and on both sides of the open gate were two human-shaped sculptures.
One was a man and one was a woman. The woman was valiant, her black cloak fluttering behind her, and the arrow in her hand flashing with cold light.
In contrast, the man's sculpture looked very calm, and the tower shield in his hand was indestructible.
"It's the Night Ranger – Vivian and the Night Guardian – Bauer!"
Alice jumped down from Kyle's arms and looked at the sculptures with eyes full of worship.
Kyle always felt that the two sculptures were somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen them.
"We still have 20 minutes. Mr. Skeleton is really fast!"
Kyle's soul fire trembled. Fast?
He always felt that fast was not a good adjective.
Following Alice into the City of the Night, it was not unusual for a Necromancer apprentice to bring her own summons.
The City of the Night was much more prosperous than Twilight Town. Here, one could even see the strange races of the Federation.
"Oh!
Is this a lizardman?
It looks so … "
Before Alice finished her words, she saw the yellow lizardman in leather armor in front of her suddenly turn his head!
The lizardman's eyes narrowed, releasing a dangerous aura. His hand was already on the handle of the dagger at his waist.
"Little friend, do you need me to teach you what is manners?"
Alice was scared out of her wits, and her face turned pale.
Kyle pulled Alice behind him and also stared at the Lizardman.
"Sorry, child's words carry no harm." Then Kyle pulled Alice over. "Alice, apologize to this gentleman."
"I … I'm sorry, I didn't mean to …"
"Hmm?"
The Lizardman didn't care about Alice's apology at all. Instead, he looked at Kyle.
"Rank 1 Arcana Technique: Sound Transmission." The Lizardman suddenly laughed. "A skeleton that knows magic. Interesting."
The Lizardman reached out and patted Alice's head. "Little girl, not everyone is as good-tempered as I am. Your summon is not bad."
After saying that, the Lizardman turned around and left.
Looking at the back of the Lizardman, Alice patted her chest with lingering fear.
"Phew, that scared me to death."
Kyle helplessly shook his head. Alice rarely came in contact with strangers. She lived in Twilight Town all year round and knew nothing about the outside world.
Touching his skeleton chin, Kyle said, "Alice, you should read more books."
"I read a lot of books!" Alice said with dissatisfaction.
"Is that so?"
Alice was dumbfounded. "Huh?
Is that so? "
Kyle shrugged his shoulders, "Alice, you should read more books."
Alice stuck out her tongue, "No, I hate reading books, and … Isn't there still Mr. Skeleton!"
Looking at the hopping Alice, Kyle could only reveal a wry smile.
The City of the Night really did appear in his memory.
After coming to the City of the Night, Kyle's soulfire had more memories. However, these memories made him even more puzzled. He even suspected that these memories didn't belong to him.
Night City College was located in the southwest area of the City of the Night. This entire area belonged to Night City College. Its area was even comparable to some small cities.
After all, Night City College was one of the top ten colleges in the Freedom Federation. Moreover, in recent years, it had shown a rising trend.
This had a lot to do with the Night City College's dean's success in advancing to Magister.
Magister was a general term for magicians above the sixth level. As long as one became a sixth level magician, they could obtain the title of Magister.
The lowest level magician was Magic Apprentice, followed by Apprentice Magician. After Apprentice Magician, they were divided into ten levels.
From Apprentice Magician onwards, each level was divided into ten levels. The higher the level, the higher the mastery of magic.
Alice was just the lowest level of Magic Apprentice. She didn't even reach the level of division.
As a Necromancer, whether or not one could summon undead creatures was the key to determining whether or not one could become an Apprentice Magician.
Alice obviously hadn't reached the first rank of Apprentice Magician. She had only borrowed the sheepskin scroll to barely summon Kyle.
Approaching the end of the examination, there were still many people at the entrance of Night City College. With the help of Kyle, Alice squeezed her way in.
"I want to participate in the examination of the Necromancer Branch!" Alice took out her ID card. This was an important identification item in the Freedom Federation.
The person in charge of receiving the examination was a senior, holding a magic ball in his hand.
Alice skillfully stuck her ID card to the magic ball. The magic ball's rays of light quickly seeped into the ID card.
"Name: Alice Grean. Gender: Female. Age: 12."
The senior took out a card and handed it to Alice. "This is your examination card. After pouring your magic power into it, it will take you to the Necromancer Branch."
After Alice received the examination card, she excitedly poured her magic power into it. The card instantly grew a pair of small white wings!
"Hello, Alice!
Come with me! "
It was a small combination of arcane magic. Kyle could see the structure of the examination card at a glance.
The two followed the examination card to the Necromancer Branch. Kyle casually looked around the school.
Big spending …
From the moment he stepped into the school district, Kyle felt that something was wrong. When he penetrated the underground of Night City College with his spirit power …
"Roar!
Who is it? "
In the dark underground, a pair of crimson eyes opened, like two lanterns hanging high in the sky.
A bloodthirsty aura filled the underground space. The pair of eyes looked at the magic circle above their head, and two streams of hot white mist came out of their nostrils.
"The dark year of the Demon Realm has arrived. Is that person's prophecy about to begin?
Ants of the City of the Night … When this king returns, it will be the time of your death! "
…
Kyle retracted his spiritual force. "An eighth-rank Demon-Sealing Array. Even a ninth-rank magus wouldn't be able to break through it. To be able to trap such a big fellow beneath the academy, this academy must be hiding many secrets."
"Kyle!
We're here! "
Alice excitedly pulled Kyle. They came to a gloomy school district.
A plaque hung on a withered tree, crookedly written with the words' Necromancer Branch '.
