Full-Time Magister: Heavy Water Overturns the World

……

Flanking battle.

The battle here is nearing its end. Without the leadership and command of high-ranking demons, these low-level, mindless undead servants are significantly weaker than before, and are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under the orderly coordination of the mages.

"Bro, where are you from? Your use of plant magic is amazing!" the fire-type guy exclaimed in admiration.

"China," Nan Yi replied with a smile.

"Oh~ China... No wonder! China is a great country of magic. I remember your ancient capital was also a world-class battlefield of the dead!" The fire-type guy was very enthusiastic, especially since Nan Yi had saved him, it was like meeting a kindred spirit.

After some conversation, Nan Yi also figured out the origin of this fire-type guy. He was not from Luxor, but from Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

According to my friend, the undead war in Cairo this year is no less intense than in Luxor. There's even a troublesome little monarch undead that's been sweeping through the city with the help of the pyramids' glory, causing countless casualties.

As a wandering hunter, he heard that a significant undead war had broken out in Luxor and that they were short of manpower, so he decided to come here to make money.

After all, the more manpower is needed, the more generous the compensation offered by the military and local government.

There's a saying that goes, "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix." In Cairo, this guy might just be a nobody doing odd jobs and wouldn't stand a chance against others, but in Luxor, he's a mid-level fire mage and can be considered a core member of the wandering hunters.

As the two were chatting, a deep male voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Excuse me, did you kill that giant tumor mummy?"

The man's voice drew their attention. The fire-elemental guy turned around, immediately straightened up, and his expression became serious.

"Lord Soy!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi looked at the burly white man in military uniform and immediately recognized his identity.

Soi was the military intelligence officer who led the team to clear out the Valley of the Kings. It seems that news of his killing of the giant mummy had reached him, and this military intelligence officer, who was currently eager to find talent, came to him.

“It’s me,” Nan Yi replied.

"If it's convenient, could you come with me?" Soi asked.

"Commander Soy, please lead the way." Nan Yi nodded politely, but his tone was not as humble as that of the fire-elemental older brother beside him.

It's not that Nan Yi was being impolite, but it's important to know that not only was Suo Yi a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but Nan Yi was also a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and in terms of rank, the two were of the same level.

Nan Yi turned to look at his older brother: "Let's get together again sometime."

"well!"

Nan Yi followed Suo Yi away, just as the main force began to evacuate the valley. Nan Yi naturally followed Suo Yi and walked at the front of the group.

"Are you Chinese?" Soi asked, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

“Yes, I am Nan Yi from the Huaguo National Government. I just arrived in Luxor today,” Nan Yi said, getting straight to the point.

"It's you!" A look of shock appeared on Soi's originally serious face.

He wasn't really familiar with the personnel of the Chinese National Government, but he had heard of the one person from the Chinese National Government who hadn't returned to the team.

Because they had requested the Chinese government to act quickly so that they would have room to maneuver even if they failed, but Mao Xianyi, who was also from the military, solemnly emphasized that the mission could only be carried out after the last person returned to the unit.

Therefore, in order to meet the other party's requirements, the task time was set for a later deadline.

There were actually some discontent within Luxor's army regarding this, but Zoe never expected to see this mysterious last man among the sweeping troops in the Valley of the Kings today.

On their very first day of arrival, they proactively came to Emperor's Valley, seemingly to check on its situation. This earnestness impressed Soy. However, judging from this, the other party must also be a high-level mage, and their strength is definitely no less than his own; otherwise, they couldn't have dealt with the giant mummy so easily.

"You should already know about the mission you're undergoing, right?"

“Yes, kill the Pharaoh’s Guardian Horned Viper Mummy and escort your personnel into the tomb.” Nan Yi nodded, looking at the earthen stone gate with ancient inscriptions deep in the Valley of the Kings in the distance. That was the entrance to the tomb and also the exit for the undead from the underworld.

"Yes, you came here to learn about Emperor Valley, right? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yi pondered for a moment, recalling the situation he had encountered during the day, and asked, "Does Emperor Valley possess any domains or formations that can restrict mages?"

Immediately, Soi looked at Nan Yi in shock: "What! You can actually sense it?"

"Hmm, this suppression doesn't seem to have much effect on mages with lower strength, but the stronger the mage's soul and strength, the stronger the suppression seems to be."

"Soy, what's wrong?" Nan Yi noticed that Soy's expression was a little unnatural, as if he couldn't accept it.

"N-nothing!" Soi straightened his expression and continued, "You're right in your perception, but this isn't a domain, it's a forbidden realm, a legacy from mythology."

Soy paused for a moment, then spoke.

"The Book of the Dead".

"The Book of the Dead?" Nan Yi heard a completely new term.

"The Book of the Dead is a creation that represents the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian necromancy civilization. It is said to be able to guide lost souls back to the world of the living."

Soy added.

"However, these are all records in the literature. So far, Egypt has sent a lot of manpower and resources to search for traces of the Book of the Dead in the Valley of the Kings, but to no avail. We don't know if it's true or not."

"Then what is the connection between this forbidden realm and the Book of the Dead?" Nan Yi couldn't help but ask.

"The Book of the Dead is not only a book of life and death, but also a book of the mind and soul. The suppression effect you perceive is essentially a suppression of your soul. The stronger your soul and the higher your cultivation level, the stronger the suppression you will experience."

"Once you leave the Valley of the Kings, you will naturally be outside the forbidden zone of the Heart-Separating Realm."

"So that's how it is..."

“Once you enter the tomb, you will truly step into the suppression range of the forbidden zone, especially near the core of the tomb, where the suppression is even stronger. It will slow down your casting speed by at least 30%, and the power of your magic will also be weakened to varying degrees.”

"Our previous squad of high-level mages was sacrificed because of this."

At this point, a sigh appeared on Soi's face.

"To be honest, I didn't have high hopes for you guys, and I even thought you'd die in there. Now that you know all this, it's normal for you to want to give up, after all, there are only 12 of you, and you're all so young," Soy said frankly.

"Thank you for the intelligence from the Soy Military Intelligence Bureau, but I am also very interested in the spirits of your country. I don't want to give up such a rare opportunity," Nan Yi said, shaking his head.

"Then I wish you success."

"A friendly reminder: everything you acquire in the Valley of the Kings belongs to you; this has always been Luxor's tradition."

Soy said with a smile.

"This is a promise that the pyramids in Cairo cannot give you."
