On the Seven Towers

Two weeks later, Xiao Chen brought Luo Ling, Xiao Mu, Liu Pengfei, Ye Zi, Tang Feng and Li Tianrui to the Kingdom Magic Association.

They came to participate in the mage assessment and to complete what Luo Ling and Xiao Chen promised Vincent.

It is very rare in the history of the Magic Association that so many foreign mages participate in the assessment at the same time. After all, in most magic towers, there are generally only dozens of real magicians. In some magic towers where talents are declining, there may be only a dozen people left.

Many mages gathered in the Magic Association to watch the excitement, curious about what kind of people the mages from Black Mountain are. However, when Master Kona, the master of the Spirit Refining Tower, and Master Gordon, the vice president of the Magic Association, led the crowd to greet them, many onlookers were very surprised.

Such treatment is generally only given to important figures in other magic towers or ancient magic families. People around became more and more curious about the mages from Black Mountain. At this time, some mages who knew about it would mention Xiao Chen, Li Jia, and the reading club.

"Master Kona, Master Gordon." Xiao Chen saluted first, and the others behind him also saluted.

Vice President Master Gordon has always been a serious old man, but today he seemed very approachable in front of Xiao Chen: "Mr. Xiao Chen, welcome, welcome. The Kingdom Magic Association thanks you for the honor you have won for the association, and... the support from all sides. We are also very sorry about Miss Tashia's incident. However, this incident also demonstrates her noble character and incomparable courage, which is really admirable."

"Indeed. Miss Tashia is a very good child, and it's time to give her a good name." Master Kona also said.

"Thank you for the support of Master Gordon and Master Kona. As beneficiaries, we need to make everything Miss Tashia has done public, let her deeds be known to everyone, and let those who do evil pay the price." Xiao Chen said. He saw the smile in Master Gordon's eyes when he talked about "support from all sides". It is obvious that the Magic Association is very satisfied with this division of interests.

"I agree." Master Gordon nodded, "I agree very much!"

"I wonder if the others have arrived?" Xiao Chen asked.

"They have arrived. It is not appropriate for them to come in with such fanfare like you. After all, this is the Kingdom Magic Association." Master Kona said.

To the surprise of the onlookers, Xiao Chen and Master Gordon and others did not start the assessment, but came to a place in the middle of the garden on the ground floor.

There was a simple platform set up there, with a screen made of a wooden frame with a white cloth stretched on it, and a barrier behind the platform to block the view.

Master Gordon walked onto the platform and cast a spell, and then his voice rang out throughout the atrium of the Magic Association: "My fellow members of the Kingdom Magic Association, today we have an important announcement here, about one of us - Miss Tasya Alonso. I am here to announce a heartbreaking and regrettable news, Miss Tasya has left us. However, she was defending this city and died in the battle against evil. We did not announce this news before because the tentacles of the evil forces had not been completely cut off, and now we have won the final victory. The situation at that time can be made public."

Whether it was the mages gathered in front of the platform or the mages who were watching this side on the railings upstairs, they all started to talk about it. They had heard about Tasya's disappearance a long time ago, but in various gossips, most of them were romantic stories. The most popular saying was that she was pregnant with Xiao Chen's child and left the capital to avoid the limelight.

No one thought that the vice president would come forward to clarify in the end, and it was also related to some evil forces. However, no one who can become a wizard is stupid, so most people are still skeptical about such official statements.

"Everyone must have heard more or less about the riots in the civilian area on the night of the New Year's parade. However, in fact, it was a conspiracy by the necromancer to create a zombie tide and destroy the capital!"

"What? There is such a thing?" A wizard was surprised, "It seems that I missed something very interesting in the laboratory."

"It seems that many people have died, and the people there are controlled like puppets." Another wizard said.

"Those ordinary people are originally puppets, and the only difference between them and the zombie tide is life or death." An old wizard sneered.

"We blocked the news at that time. Today I am here to explain the whole story to everyone. Miss Tasia's sacrifice is related to this incident. Just a month ago, the despicable imperial people colluded with the false god's temple and sent several necromancers into the kingdom, trying to bring us disasters in the days of the new year..."

"Why are the imperial people involved? Didn't your manuscript originally only include those people from the Wisdom Temple?" Xiao Chen asked Luo Ling using the Soul Bridge.

"Of course they added it after discussion. The traditional scapegoats of the kingdom are just a few, the empire, the ancient gods and the city-states, just like the scapegoats of the empire are always the kingdom and the orcs. I think it is probably a request made by the royal family. The royal family has shed so much this time, so naturally they have to meet some of their small requests."

"...Mage Xiao Chen from Montenegro and Miss Tashia from the Alonso family accidentally discovered the flaws of these villains. They informed the Magic Association, and we also contacted the King and the Temple of Nature. After the dinner that day, they got intelligence about the enemy's actions and immediately went to track down these suspicious people in person, but they were ambushed by the enemy. Later, although our masters arrived in time and annihilated the enemy outside the city, Miss Tashia died in the battle. She was very brave, and in the end she used the blood power of the Fire Phoenix to die together with a high-level necromancer."

Master Gordon took out a crystal stone and activated his mental power. Light appeared from the crystal stone and projected it onto the white screen beside him. "This is the scene recorded by the two lords' servants with the image crystal stone in order to collect intelligence."

On the screen, a battle scene in the night appeared. Although it was a bit messy and blurry, Xiao Chen and Tashia could be seen fighting against powerful enemies. Various magical lights and exploding flames filled the screen, and sometimes their faces were clearly illuminated.

The mages talked about it:

"The enemy is very powerful! It is indeed the undead. Look, that is the ghost warrior!"

"And the skeleton, disgusting thing."

"Ah, that is Miss Tashia. She is still so beautiful when fighting. If I were there, I would never let her be hurt by the undead mage!"

"With your low-level strength?"
