Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 382 The suitable candidate to enter the Abyss of Fiends, Zhang Xiaohou

Can they enter the Abyss of Evil? This was the first time they had ever heard of it. Even the forbidden spellcaster who explored the Abyss of Evil was sucked in and his life was unknown. Let alone them, if they jumped into the Abyss of Evil, they would definitely die a gruesome death!

The mysterious gray-haired man continued, "It is now certain that the Abyss of Evil is the tomb of the ancient king. He created this dead land more than two thousand years ago so that he could sleep there forever without being disturbed by outsiders."

Ying Zheng, the progenitor of the undead, was the human emperor with the highest magical skill in China's thousands of years of history. His use of earth magic reached an astonishing level, and the Great Wall he created has benefited humanity to this day.

Jiang Han suddenly remembered a quote about Ying Zheng, which seemed to be a saying that circulated online in his previous life.

"I, in the name of the First Emperor, hereby swear: As long as I live, I will defend our lands, expand our territory, and pacify the world, thus establishing the eternal foundation of my Great Qin Dynasty! Even in death, I will transform into a dragon spirit, protecting our Chinese nation forever!!"

When Jiang Han came to his senses, he heard the mysterious gray-haired man say excitedly.

"No one, including the strongest forbidden spell mage, can set foot in the ancient royal tomb, but there is a group of people who are not rejected by the Abyss of Fiends, and that group is the people of Weiju Village."

"They are immune to attacks from the undead because they are descendants of ancient kings. The Abyss may destroy any creature that dares to trespass upon the tomb, but the tomb's gates will remain open to the people of Danger Village!!"

The mysterious gray-haired man's words were like a shot in the arm, giving everyone in the conference hall a glimmer of hope.

"You mean the people from Dangerous Village can enter the Abyss of Fiends? Is that true?" an elder of the Hunter Alliance asked excitedly.

"Even if the people from the Dangerous Villages could get in, what good would it do? All six Dangerous Villages have already been wiped out by the undead. Would the remaining people from Hua Village even go to the Abyss of Fiends?" Chief of Staff Zhu Yong said solemnly.

"What Staff Officer Zhu said is indeed a problem, and how can you be so sure it's true?" Zhu Meng suddenly stood up, his expression extremely solemn.

"The person who sent me the message is absolutely trustworthy. As for his claim that the people of Weiju Village can enter the Abyss of Fiends, there's no verification, but we must give it a try," the mysterious gray-haired man said solemnly.

The mysterious gray-haired man tapped on the table in front of him, and the guard mage who was standing outside immediately came in. The mysterious gray-haired man whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard mage hurriedly rushed out. Everyone was full of doubt, not understanding what the mysterious gray-haired man was going to do.

A few minutes later, noisy footsteps came from outside. Then Jiang Han saw Fang Gu, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, and He Yu walk in. As they passed by Jiang Han and Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou mouthed a thank you to them.

"Honestly, we're all good brothers, there's no need for thanks," Mo Fan muttered under his breath.

On their way here, Fang Gu and Zhang Xiaohou were told about the situation in the meeting room by the Imperial Guard Master. So, after Fang Gu sat down at the end of the table, he said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Our village has ancestral precepts, which all the villagers know. But in addition to the ancestral precepts, the village chiefs of each generation also have a secret precept."

"The secret training tells us that we are protected by God, and even if we fall into the kingdom of death, we will still be the most honored guests."

"I'm not sure if the Death Kingdom in the secret training is the Abyss of Evil."

It is a miracle that Weiju Village has been able to preserve its long-forgotten history for thousands of years. Therefore, it is normal that some of the things that have been preserved are somewhat blurred. Take the relationship between Bocheng and Weiju Village for example. If it weren't for the Earthly Sacred Spring and some of its descendants who have been guarding it, who would connect Bocheng and Weiju Village?

"If you really need me to go to the Abyss of Fiends, I can give it a try. After all, I am a sinner who slaughtered my own kind. If it can create some opportunity for the millions of people in this city, I don't care about my life," Fang Gu said.

"I'm glad to hear you say that," Han Ji said.

Just then, Su Xiaoluo also spoke up about going to the Abyss of Fiends, but Fang Gu, Han Ji, and the mysterious gray-haired man all disagreed. Even a mage like Fang Gu couldn't guarantee he'd come back alive, let alone Su Xiaoluo, who was just an ordinary person.

"Fang Gu, I have something to ask you," Zhang Xiaohou asked.

"What is it?" Fang Gu asked.

"When I passed through Yangyang Village, I saw that every household had gray plum blossoms in front of their houses. I wonder if that has any special meaning?" Zhang Xiaohou said.

"The gray plum blossoms are a tradition of our village chief. Placing gray plum blossoms in front of a house means that someone in that family has passed away. As for why you saw gray plum blossoms in every household, that's because they all died. As for why you can communicate with the people in the village, those are living dead that I control." Fang Gu did not hide the matter of Yangyang Village from back then.

Zhang Xiaohou thought for a moment and said, "I remember when my grandfather passed away, there was a gray plum tree in Bocheng's house, so that's why the scene in your village felt a bit familiar."

"Young Hou, do you consider yourself a descendant of the ancient king and want to go to the Abyss of Fiends as well?" He Yu asked anxiously.

"Well, I want to give it a try. After all, the more people there are, the better our chances of success." Zhang Xiaohou glanced apologetically at He Yu, then whispered, "I'm sorry, but if I come back alive this time, I'll go with you to ask the instructor for permission to get married."

"What if you're not? Waaaaaah!!" He Yu said, her eyes filled with tears.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back alive," Zhang Xiaohou said, patting He Yu's shoulder reassuringly.

"Monkey, are you really sure?" Jiang Han asked, looking at Zhang Xiaohou.

Mo Fan also looked serious. As brothers, he and Jiang Han didn't really want Zhang Xiaohou to take the risk, since the danger level of the Lower Abyss was too high. If they lost the gamble, Zhang Xiaohou would die inside.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Fan, thank you for saving me this time, but I really don't want to see so many people die again."

"I really don't want to see it again. It's so good to be alive. Everyone is alive. Although I can't be sure if I am a descendant of the ancient king, I don't want to wait until the Abyss of Fiends devours the city and all of you. If I'm the only one left alive at that time, I might want to kill myself." Zhang Xiaohou's voice choked as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han and Mo Fan both fell silent. Just imagine being in that city littered with corpses, where all your family, friends, teachers, and classmates had become bodies, and you were the only one who survived. Anyone would have a mental breakdown.

Zhang Xiaohou's words echoed throughout the conference room, touching many high-level mages.

"If I hadn't..." Zhang Xiaohou looked at Jiang Han and Mo Fan, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
