“Uh, right, Newman, didn’t you say that wall over there had been dealt with? When can we break through it?” When it came to the magic prohibition in the castle, both Rebry and the slender mage’s eyes lit up, eager to smash through the wall and see what secrets it held.
“It’s not that simple. Although I’ve found the mechanism to open the wall and tried to activate it, there’s a massive mana-fueled space magic set up behind the wall, which seems to be connected to a different space. If we’re not careful and step into this different space, or if some creatures from that space come out, we’ll really have our hands full. We still need to figure out a way to seal off or destroy this space magic before we can say we’ve completed the first challenge,” the thin and dry magician said with great animation about his findings. “However, to seal off or destroy the space magic, we still need some props. There’re no magic tool shops in Caucasus, and even magic materials are hard to come by. Mr. Hesse’s magic tool shop, purely catering to adventurers, is no more than a sundries stall with nothing of interest. I had to ask someone to send the items from Jazair or Prague, and I believe they will arrive very soon.”
Prague, located along the middle reaches of the Vltava River, is the capital of Bohemia Kingdom and the headquarters of the renowned Sacred Wings Magic Guild, one of the sanctuaries for magicians other than the Church of Light. It’s a place where magicians come to exchange knowledge, and it’s also the largest and most famous supplier of magic tools and magic materials on the Blue Continent. The Talin River Valley region in the northeastern part of Bohemia is known for its magic metal mines, producing mystic bronze, luminous flame stones, and other magic minerals that are indispensable for making magic tools and magic weapons.

This place, with its dense magical atmosphere, has always attracted magic practitioners and enthusiasts from all over the Continent to come here for pilgrimage and exchange. With more than forty court mages and over a hundred magicians, Bohemia Kingdom boasts a number that surpasses any other country. Here, as long as you have the qualifications of a magician, you will immediately be treated as a VIP by the kingdom court. Regardless of whether you’re willing to serve the kingdom, as long as you’re willing to stay, the country will provide you with free food and accommodation, making you feel at home. If you agree to be employed as a court mage, then the generous treatment you’ll receive will make you forget the time, and the many beauties of Bohemia will make plenty of magicians linger on. The National Rublea Magic Academy, though just a school for training magic apprentices and not very large in size, is impressive enough to draw the attention of all the countries on the Continent, and no one dares to underestimate the potential impact of this academy. It’s also the place where magicians love to live and work, recognized as a magic paradise.
“How much longer do we have to wait?” Like all magicians, Rebry had been eagerly anticipating, and though living in Damarlinsk Castle as a cultivation holy land was a good option, the thought of countless treasures waiting to be unearthed beneath him would keep anyone from sleeping peacefully.
“Soon. Once I receive the few materials I need, we can seal off that space magic. The remaining magic prohibition, I reckon, won’t stop us. You all can also make thorough preparations. As we predicted, the richer the treasure, the more likely there are dangers around. Magic traps and physical traps are inevitable, and there might also be undead creatures. We need to prepare some necessary items,” the thin and dry magician suggested to the two.
“Mr. Newman, are you certain there will be undead creatures inside?” Komer, who had approached them, couldn’t help but interject. Komer had also been relentlessly practicing on that thief’s corpse this whole time. Although he had significantly improved in his magic manipulation, training the corpse hadn’t been going as smoothly as imagined. Especially after reaching a certain point, advancing further had been challenging—what is known as a bottleneck. Under Komer’s painstaking training, the thief could already freely follow Komer’s commands. The thief had possessed fighting qi strength, which at one time excited Komer tremendously. Through Komer’s arduous integration, he could already induce the corpse to activate Demonic Fighting Qi as needed. This was a technique that merged necromancy with the corpse’s inherent fighting qi. However, this control technique drained spiritual power considerably, and maintaining the corpse in a combat-ready state of Demonic Fighting Qi for extended periods was quite difficult. How to keep the corpse in this powerful aggressive state and how to further improve the level of its Demonic Fighting Qi were significant challenges that Komer was fervently studying.
What troubled Komer was not just the issue of Demonic Fighting Qi, but also how to swiftly transmit his mental commands to the corpse. Although Komer could now issue some simple commands to the corpse without the need for necromantic spells, more complex commands would still require him to chant spells in advance, greatly limiting the corpse’s responsiveness.
The main issue was that, due to the death of the body, the soul-memory within the corpse would soon disintegrate. Of course, if the soul-memory could be preserved in a lingering state in a short time, allowing it to retain some subconscious reactive capabilities, the corpse could become a practice vessel for a necromancer. Komer’s Cosmic Bag was a divine artifact that could maintain the corpse in this near-death state. It was the most important memento left to Komer by his master.
