Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The moment they stepped into the demiplane, Eden felt a strong sense of disorientation wash over him.

　When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a sight she would never forget.

　The boundless dark sky, like a thick curtain, completely obscured the sky, making it impermeable to light.

　Against this somber backdrop, a city of the dead.

　It stands tall and majestic.

　The walls of the City of the Dead are meticulously carved from obsidian, towering into the clouds and exuding a cold and eerie aura.

　The magical runes on the city walls appeared and disappeared, flickering with light, adding to the mystery and terror of this desolate city.

　Within the city walls, eerie and terrifying cemetery-themed magical buildings rose from the ground, their outlines distorted and bizarre under the influence of death magic.

　Above this city of the dead, ghostly dragons and translucent vengeful spirits soar freely through the dark canopy formed by the magic of death.

　At the city's main gate, the army of the dead stood in neat rows, silently awaiting the arrival of the three.

Chapter 87 A Journey to the Demiplane: A Frank Talk

　Eden was deeply shocked by the scene before her. She held Alicia and Moros's hands tightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity, forming an indescribable emotion.

　In fact, not only Eden, but even the well-informed Alicia was shocked by what she saw.

　Although they already knew that Moros was extraordinary, the scene before them still exceeded their imagination and understanding.

　Especially Alicia, as the Herrscher of Origin, originally thought that nothing could distract her, but the scene before her made her realize her naivety.

　"Moros, is this what you wanted us to see?"

　Alicia snapped out of her shock, gazing into Moros's deep eyes, her voice filled with undisguised emotion.

　Alicia is so smart.

　How could she not know the immense trust that Moros placed in them, allowing them to witness the city and the army of the dead?

　“Moros…”

　Eden was awakened by Alicia's question. She opened her mouth, but had no idea what to say.

　Just standing here, witnessing this unimaginable scene before her, made her feel that her life over the past ten years seemed so insignificant.

　She took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in her heart, and at the same time silently made a vow in her heart—in order not to betray Moros's trust, she would never reveal what she had seen today to anyone.

　Both Alicia and Eden knew very well how precious it was to have such a level of trust in this glorious yet cruel world.

　Moros felt secretly gratified as he keenly noticed the emotion in Alicia and Eden's eyes.

　He knew that his trust and honesty had deeply moved them.

　This wave should have significantly increased my favorability towards them.

　He then pressed on, explaining in detail to Alicia and Eden the cemetery city, the demiplane, and his most crucial identity as a transmigrator.

　He chose to share his secrets honestly, based on this high level of trust.

　Moros understood that frankness born of a high degree of trust could greatly shorten the distance between them in a short period of time.

　Therefore, he revealed his story without reservation, hoping to further deepen his relationship with Alicia and Eden.

　As for the risk of leaks?

　As a legendary necromancer and a transmigrator with a demiplane as a near-absolute safe haven, Moros naturally possessed ample confidence and assurance.

　If you're still afraid of this and that under these conditions, then you might as well not be in the business world.

　Wouldn't staying in this almost absolutely safe demiplane ensure your safety even more?

　Besides, after spending so much time together, Moros believed he had figured out some of Alicia and Eden's inner thoughts.

　Given his relationship with them, Moros believed that Alicia and Eden would not betray him.

　Of course, more importantly, Moros kept some special secrets to himself.

　For example, what was the world like before the time travel, and the game called "Honkai Impact 3"?

　"So, you're not just a necromancer, but also a time traveler?"

　Eden's words interrupted Moros's thoughts, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and inquiry.

　"That's right!"

　Wow, I didn't know you had such a rich background.

　Alicia smiled with her eyes narrowed, looking very happy.

　Moros shrugged in agreement, revealing a helpless smile.

　"I didn't want things to be this rich either. If it weren't for this accident, I would have liked to continue being the heir to the underworld..."

　As if he had just remembered something, Moros's previously high spirits instantly plummeted.

　Sensing this change, the pink fairy, with her high emotional intelligence, immediately realized that their words had reminded Moros of his childhood.

　They quickly exchanged a glance with Eden, and the two tacitly decided to change the subject.

　"By the way, didn't you say you were going to show us around your demiplane?"

　Alicia tried to steer the conversation in a lighter direction.

　"um, yes."

　Moros nodded, composing himself.

　He then projected a rough map of the demiplane in front of Alicia and Eden.

　"Would you like to tour my city first, or go directly to the countryside?"

　Although he was a necromancer, Moros knew that girls would prefer the wilderness, which was modeled after the world of Ashan, to the cities of the Necropolis faction.

　However, Alicia and Eden's choices surprised Moros.

　After exchanging glances, they decided to first visit the cemetery city meticulously managed by Moros.

　Moros was slightly taken aback, but then he understood the meaning behind their choices.

　Alicia and Eden wanted to understand him more deeply, including his past and present, and not just his superficial appearance.

　This trust and closeness warmed Moros's heart.

　So Moros smiled and nodded, took their hands, and led them into this unique city.

　Since there are no other living beings here besides Moros, the city streets are exceptionally quiet and clean.

　Magical buildings are arranged in a staggered pattern in this cemetery city, cleverly blending the unique architectural style of the Ashan world with the death aesthetics specific to the cemetery faction, exuding a tranquil and profound beauty.

　"This city belongs to the Cemetery faction, which originated from the mage civil war of the Seven Dragon Era 751770. At that time, the mages of the Silver City launched a large-scale persecution, confiscating the property of necromancers, banishing them, or carrying out public executions..."

　In Moros's deep, magnetic voice, the history of the world of Ashan unfolded before Alicia and Eden like a scroll.

　Through Moros's narration, they seemed to witness the brutal civil war that swept through the Silver City.

　The establishment of the Helles Empire in 771 of the Seven Dragons Era, and the defeat in the War of the Broken Staff in 822 of the Seven Dragons Era...

　The history of the Ashan World Cemetery faction deeply shocked Alicia and Eden. They had never imagined that such a unique and glorious civilization existed beyond this planet.

　Led by Moros, Alicia and Eden toured every magical building in the city of the dead.

　Finally, they arrived at the spire-shaped Level 5 Magic Guild.

　"This is the mage tower in this city, and it's also where I live on a daily basis."

　"Then let's go in and take a look."

　As they spoke, the pink fairy lady, holding Moros's hand in one hand and Eden's hand in the other, walked briskly at the front of the group.

　Clearly, for Alicia, exploring a mage tower that had previously only existed in her imagination was an exciting and anticipated adventure.

　"Sigh~" *2

　On either side of Alicia, Moros and Eden could only keep up with her pace.

Chapter 88 Demiplane Journey Magic Guild

　A few minutes later.

　Looking at Alicia, who was completely helpless against the luxurious doors of the [Level 5 Magic Guild], whose surfaces were engraved with countless tiny magical runes, Moros couldn't help but smile.

　"Pfft~"

　Not only him, but Eden also couldn't help but smile. She glanced at Moros, her eyes revealing a hint of sympathy.

　Clearly, she also found the pink fairy's helpless expression and bewildered demeanor quite amusing.

　"Moros! Eden!"

　Hearing the suppressed laughter behind her, Alicia turned around, pouting as if she were angry and making a fierce expression.

　However, her beautiful face made even this "fierce" expression look playful and cute.

　Seeing Alicia's adorable appearance, Moros and Eden couldn't help but laugh even harder.

　In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Moros stepped forward, ready to unlock the magic door for them.

　"This is a magic door. If the magic circle on the door cannot be deciphered correctly, even heavy artillery will not be able to blast it open."

　As Moros explained in detail the function of each magical rune on the door, he touched these mysterious runes with skillful and light gestures.

　As he spoke and gestured, the previously static magical runes seemed to come alive, each beginning to shimmer with a faint yet captivating light.

　This magical scene immediately caught the attention of Alicia and Eden, who curiously moved closer to observe this wondrous sight more closely.

　This is not surprising.

　Even the experienced Herrscher of Origin and the highly popular artist had never had the privilege of witnessing such an exquisite magical creation in operation.

　Compared to the magic gate of the [Level 5 Magic Guild] before him, Mo

　The [Wraith Jar] that Los made was quite simple and unadorned.

　Getting back to the main point, under Moros's manipulation, the activated magical runes formed a complex pattern.

　When the last magic rune was lit, the entire pattern burst forth with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire doorway brilliantly.

　Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a slight scraping sound, the extremely complex magic door of the [Level 5 Magic Guild] slowly opened, revealing the corridor behind it.

　This corridor leads straight to the main hall of the magic guild, with the stone walls on both sides in a deep black tone, carved with dark green magic runes.

　A layer of bright red carpet stretched out on the ground, soft and luxurious.

　The magic lamps in the corridor cast a soft glow, illuminating the entire corridor brightly and warmly.

　The light was neither too bright nor too dim, creating a perfectly balanced atmosphere of mystery and tranquility.

　"Don't underestimate this corridor."

　As he spoke, Moros manipulated an invisible force field to lift a corner of the crimson carpet.

　As he moved, Alicia and Eden's gaze was drawn to the magical runes hidden under the carpet.

　These runes, though different in function from those on the previous door, all exude a mysterious and unpredictable magical aura.

　"This is a teleportation channel."

　Moros's voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he were anticipating which uninvited guest would dare to try the magical traps of this corridor.

　"Without the appropriate authorization, any intruder will be teleported to dangerous areas such as the [Imprisonment Cell], [Spell Testing Ground], or [Undead Reserve]..."

　Listening to Moros's explanation, Alicia and Eden looked at each other, both feeling a bit incredulous.

　They never imagined that someone would set such a trap in their own home.

　"Moros, you set up such a trap in your own home?"

　Out of curiosity, Alicia asked the question that she and Eden shared.

　"Ok!"

　Nodding, Moros offered an explanation as if he had just thought of something.

　“That’s true. In fact, setting traps inside mage towers is a tradition in the world of Ashan. A truly qualified mage tower must be full of mechanisms and traps. Only in this way can spellcasters keep out those malicious intruders and ensure the safety of their residence.”

　Hearing this, Alicia and Eden gained a deeper understanding of the Ashan world that Moros had described.

　Setting traps has become a tradition, requiring people to be constantly vigilant even in their own homes.
