I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 411
Chapter 411 – Magical Journey
In Scottish waters, the illusory ghost ship hovered on the island shore, gaining corporeality once more as it slowed to a halt.
The ship was completely different from ordinary ships. It did not dock on the shore of the island but remained afloat in the air among the rocks.
“Well, little ones, we have arrived.”
The previously cloaked robed wizard named Barry suddenly appeared on the deck of the ship, startling those present.
The young men and women in their twenties were able to remain slightly calm, but the others were cowering. Although they longed for the mystery of magic, the wizard’s chilling aura was enough to keep strangers far from him.
At the urging of the wizard, more than a hundred people stepped off the ghost ship.
Su Wei was also a member of this group of people. She cautiously followed the crowd down the deck. Although her family was prestigious, that counted for little in her current circumstance.
“This wizard may look a little scary, but maybe he’s a good person like Professor Snape from Harry Potter…”
A young Chinese man about the same age as Su Wei noticed had noticed her early on. After a slight hesitation, he had boldly come over to strike up a conversation with the idea that everyone was ‘chosen’.
As a girl from a rich family, Su Wei was good at socializing. She did not say anything nor show her boredom. She only smiled at the young man beside her.
Just when the young man wanted to continue speaking, he saw the wizard in front of him suddenly turn his head to look at him. An extremely cold smile appeared on his face under the hood.
“All of you should be quiet if you don’t want to become one of them.”
Barry spoke with a chilling voice. Then everyone looked behind them and became horrified. They saw the people in robes reveal their faces under the hood. These ‘people’ had blue faces and unfocused eyes. Although they had never seen one before, they recognized that these were corpses!
These ordinary people living in modern society had never seen a real unembalmed corpse before. They were all scared and pale, and only a few of them had excited faces when they saw these corpses walking.
“As you can see, I am a mage of the necromancy school and the best at weaving corpses. You should keep in mind that in the mysterious world, there is no such thing as laws, only power. Power is the only law! Our Merlin Order is not a charity organization either. Some of you may indeed become wizards, but others will die in the process.”
Barry smiled grimly, that grim gaze swept over everyone under his hood.
The crowd was chilled to the scalp. Some even regretted coming and wanted to go home, because it was then that the crowd was reminded that these mages were remnants of Celtic culture. What was Celtic culture? A culture of barbarians!
Seeing everyone quiet, Barry nodded in satisfaction. At his command, the corpses guarded these people as they walked to a rock on the island.
The stone’s surface was as smooth as a mirror. Barry stood in front of it and said, “Okay, lucky little ones. Take out the invitation you’ve been given and come in. Your lives will be changed here!”
After his words, the wizard turned his head and walked into the stone under the astonished gaze of the crowd. Those corpses under his control also entered with him.
“This… this is simply the same as Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross Station in the novel!”
Someone who often read novels was fascinated by the magic and shouted excitedly. Then they ran head first into the rock, its surface parting before him like water as he sank into it
Seeing someone lead the way, the others also suppressed their fears and entered the stone in order.
……
In the barracks back in Scotland, the elite personnel and agents from various countries were busy. In order to learn more about magic, the intelligence departments had a tacit agreement to work together. The many governments had already contacted each other in private in relation to this mysterious invitation event.
Among the several people who went to the School of Magic, agents had secretly installed cameras on them. These cameras were extremely small and light, making them incredibly hard to find. Although the transmission was fuzzy, it had a strong signal transmission capacity. Even during the storm, there was no delay in the image being transmitted.
“All invited personnel have entered the suspected ghost ship.”
“According to the frontline report, the ghost ship seems to have entered an incorporeal state. How are the cameras doing?”
The signal transmission is good. This ghost ship’s transformation doesn’t seem to affect signal transmission. Could it be that this transformation is all just an illusion? If this ship was really able to enter the unknown and navigate into some mysterious realm, our signal would have been cut off.”
“No, it’s not right! Although the information from the screen is still being transmitted, the ship’s position has disappeared! Our camera’s positioning function is not inferior to its ability to transmit videos. As long as it is still on Earth, we should be able to pinpoint it, but the camera’s signal is lost on the radar!”
A staff member exclaimed.
“What is the principle of this? Can someone explain the difference between a video signal and a positioning signal?”
“Theoretically, there should be no difference. “
An expert who had been brought in hastened to explain.
“Then tell us, if the signal is theoretically the same, why are we able to see the video, but not the positioning signal!”
The expert who was questioned was embarrassed. For a moment, he wanted to curse at them and say that he studied science and not magic!
“The signal has appeared again. Look, they have appeared at the destination.”
The observer who had been observing the radar once again shouted.
By this time, the storm centered on the island had disappeared. The major countries had long since deployed their nearby satellites to follow the island from space.
“Listen, what is that wizard saying?”
“He’s saying that he’s a mage of necromancy?”
“Oh my god, those people in hoods aren’t even alive. They’re all corpses!!”
“It seems like there really are different schools among mages. This mage says that he is from the school of necromancy, so it proves that there are other schools in magic!”
“How is he doing that? Can all mages of the school of necromancy control corpses? Wouldn’t…… wouldn’t it be possible to come back from the dead then?”
Observers from many countries were shocked as they stared at the images displayed on the screen. They watched the existence of things that were completely out of line with natural scientific normality.
“Look, the people are entering the stone. This stone should be the entrance to the school of magic!”
“How is the signal?”
“The positioning signal suddenly disappeared, just like before.”
“Quick, everyone! Come see this!!!”
Suddenly, a staff member let out a sharp cry. He looked excited and pointed his finger at the image on the screen in front of him in an unbelievable voice.
The crowd heard the cry and rushed to look. They shouted in shock in various languages as their eyes opened wide with disbelief.

“God, what is this place?”
“It’s incredible!”
“This is definitely not Earth. All plants and animals here are not species from Earth!”
“Could this be some other planet? Or is it the legendary Garden of Eden or some other world?!”
“This world is really far beyond our imagination. We humans on Earth are just a drop in the ocean in this universe!”
One professor knelt on the ground and cried out in pain. At this moment his own views were completely shattered.
