Seeing that the Lich King seemed to be immersed in his memories, Bright wisely did not interject. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That was more than three thousand years ago...... Benjamin said as if talking to himself, and Bright, who had been staying by Phyllis's side, naturally knew what it was necessary to be a listener, and looked at the Lich King with sincere eyes, nodding from time to time to let the other party know his empathy.
Benjamin's memories from thousands of years ago slowly unfolded in front of Bright, and fragments of helplessness, anger, horror, despair, and unwillingness gradually pieced together a complete story.
"At that time, I was a genius in the family, an A-level talent in the ice system. At that time, there was no Nike Remmons surname, our surname was Miller, and there were not many messy rules. I joined the Ice Temple and fell in love with a priest named Ann Li. Although she was limited by her talent and low rank, she was gentle and considerate, and no matter how badly I was injured in battle, she was always there for me until I recovered. We live happily ever after, but happiness is always followed by great misfortunes. ”
Bright asked secretly, "Is it related to the battle of life and death?"
"That was a long time later, and that's not what I'm talking about by misfortune. Benjamin shook his head, "At that time, the family didn't have much to do with the Church of Death, and it was only because of this that it happened!
Seeing Bright's puzzled expression, Benjamin continued, "That's a very senior powerhouse in the family, a necromancer, and he went out to explore the Alien Plane for a long time back before the age of the gods. His name is no longer remembered, but now everyone knows his real name, and that is Nike Remmons!"
"Because there has been no news for thousands of years, everyone thinks that he has fallen like other powerful people who have gone out on expeditions. Who knew that he had risen all the way to the realm of legends. Before he died, he left the power of his true name to his descendants through the laws he mastered. That's where the legendary bloodline comes from, and I'm one of the lineage heirs. As Benjamin spoke, the red light in his eyes gradually changed in intensity and weakness, "At that time, there were already other bloodlines in the plane that had gone from prosperity to decline, and they did not exist for a long time, so they did not attract the attention of the world. But earlier, there was a family of demonic warlock blood, which seemed to be called Luo What Ding's ......"
"Roche Cronmentin?"
"That's right, it's Roche Clenmentin! You know this surname, it looks like their family still has demonic blood. Seeing that Bright gave an affirmative answer, Benjamin was silent for a moment before continuing, "At that time, the patriarch of the Roche Clenment family was called Bermont Roche Clenmentin, and he was a scholar mage. He put forward a theory, the theory of bloodline! He believed that in order to maintain the continuity of the bloodline, the whole family must have close relatives and prevent the introduction of foreign blood. Otherwise, once the foreign bloodline enters the clan lineage, it will bring in hidden disabling factors and manifest itself in subsequent generations, which is the reason for the decline of those bloodlines in the past. This theory was initially confirmed in their family, and the Nike Remmons family followed suit. This kind of rule of rejecting foreign surnames for the sake of pure blood, and only allowing close relatives to intermarry, is called by them as a family duty!"
"At that time, I was in the Ice and Snow Temple, and I didn't pay attention to the news of my family, and I suddenly found that I had an inexplicable new talent and power in my body, and I didn't even think that it was because of my bloodline, and at that time, my family also deliberately blocked the news and didn't tell me about it. Instead, someone was sent to assassinate An Li. ”
Bright was shocked, "Why?"
"Because we signed a marriage contract!"
It dawned on Bright that the signing of a marriage contract meant a binding of loyalty to his partner, and in this respect, it was actually similar to the master-servant contract. If you have sex with someone other than your partner, you are considered to have broken your contract and will be punished accordingly. The easiest way to break the contract is to let the contractor die.
When I learned the truth, I was completely carried away by the anger and rushed back to the family to quarrel with the elders. But unexpectedly, even my brothers, who had a good relationship with me, turned to reprimand me, saying that I did not care about my family obligations. I didn't expect them to all oppose me, completely lose their cool, and start a fight with the patriarch. In the end, I quit the family in a fit of rage and vowed to exterminate the Nike Rimmons family. ”
Although Benjamin's voice was plain, hearing this, Bright also secretly took a breath of cold air, and he actually wanted to wipe out his family, what kind of determination is this.
"A family is made up of every clan, but under the pretext of the interests of the family, one by one needs to make sacrifices for it, just for the sake of the so-called continuation! Is it really worth it for such gains and losses? I want to change all this, as long as the family is completely destroyed, no one will need to sacrifice for the interests of the family. It's just that no matter how strong my strength was at that time, I was just one person, and I couldn't compete with a family of legendary blood. ”
While the Nike Remones family inherited this real name as a surname, the clan's necromantic magic talent was naturally opened, and at the same time, they were also invited by the Church of Death, so some of the clansmen became believers in the god of death. After that, the Grim Reaper went to war with the other seventeen gods because of his faith, and I knew my chance had come. ”
Seventeen gods? Bright was slightly puzzled, and then understood. In the history of 3,000 years, there have been both new strong people and old gods. The number of gods in the plane is actually in a dynamic flux. There are so many priesthoods that even in the heyday of the seventeen gods, they still failed to bring all the laws under the priesthood. The laws that make up the entire plane are the foundation of all power.
"As a member of the Ice and Snow Church, I joined the coalition of the gods, fought along the way, and defeated countless enemies, both living and undead, including my people. After eighty years of war, the gods finally broke through the kingdom of the god of death, and the god of death descended on the mortal body and fled to the Venus plane. ”
"At that time, our elite team of more than 1,000 people went to hunt down the doppelganger of the Grim Reaper, but gods are gods after all, and even if they are far away, they are still not something that human beings can compete with. We killed and wounded half of the centaurs before we killed the Doppelganger of the Grim Reaper, but we were still calculated by its final counterattack. Entered this hell of the undead......"
After that, Brett himself was able to connect, and they entered the hell of the undead, and they have been struggling to hold on, hoping for the gods to come to the rescue, but in the end they still can't wait for reinforcements. Some people die in resentment and despair, turning into resentful spirits, while others are reincarnated as undead creatures, so that resentment and despair will continue with eternal life.
After listening to these old years, Darko's mental fluctuations are also ups and downs, he wonders if this Benjamin is still working hard to exterminate the family, does Benjamin know about his relationship with his master, and why should he save him? Will Benjamin be bad for his master?
"Because I'm a member of the Nike Remones clan, I have a reason to oppose the family. Unexpectedly, the reincarnation of cause and effect would eventually use undead magic to keep himself alive. When the Nike Remones bloodline was born, I naturally had a lot of ways to use necromancy in my talents, and I naturally thought of turning myself into a lich, and even then, I fought in my mind for more than two months until I finally made a decision. ”
When Bright finally determined that Benjamin was the Ice Cultist who had transformed himself into a lich mentioned in his diary, he suddenly remembered something else, "Senior, I saw your name in Worlds. ”
"Have you seen the worlds? I used this to teleport back when I was bored. Benjamin had a thick book in his hand, and it was also a book of the worlds, but there were two more words on it, "original". Seeing Bright's puzzled eyes, he explained, "It was originally an edited version of the worlds, and as long as what was written on the original would appear in all the other worlds. I borrowed this book from the library of the Ice and Snow Church, and it is said that there are many originals of the worlds in the Ameithia plane, but they have been lost over time, and perhaps some of them are still in the hands of the major forces. ”
Bright's mouth opened in surprise, he now knew that the worlds had the ability to transmit information across planes, and it seemed that this book was more than just what it seemed.
Benjamin smiled bitterly, "What's the use of passing it back? ”
"The predecessors, the Nike Remmons family, are still going on. Bright carefully pondered the words and asked Darko what he was most worried about, "And it's one of the nine families in the plane. ”
"I know. "Forget it, the current Nike Remones family is no longer the Nike Remones family of three thousand years ago, and the people I know have long since left." Three thousand years, I can't even recall the anger of the past, and in the face of time, all struggles are in vain. Let it go, what does it matter to me whether the family is alive or dead?"
Darko was relieved when he heard this, but Bright was even more puzzled, not understanding why the Lich King suddenly appeared.
"I'm tired of the unchanging life in the hell of the dead, and I used to think that even if I want to die, I will wait until I become a legend before I die. Now it seems that I was frivolous at that time. The Lich King said to himself, "There are countless powerful people who have gone out to explore the Amelcian Plane, and there is only one in ten thousand who can become legends. I can't let go of my former companions, and I've been spending time in this hell, in fact, it's the same as becoming a legend, it's just an excuse for myself to continue to survive. ”
Bright was shocked in his heart, he felt a powerful momentum gradually emanating from the Lich King, it was the momentum of the strong!
"You have redeemed my companions, albeit only in a small part, but it has also made me realize that my reason for survival is no longer tenable, and that it is time to make some changes. The Lich King suddenly chuckled dryly, then looked up at the great vortex of the zenith, "Now, if you are going to die, you must die on the way to the legend." It is said that the upper limit of the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Hell has broken through the holy level, and I would like to go and see it. ”
Bright was shocked in his heart, it was no secret that the upper limit of the power of the Ten Thousand Demon Hell was higher than the holy level, but no one had ever tried to reach the legend by this method. Because the hell is too dangerous, ordinary saint-level powerhouses can't even break through the first layer, just look at the results of those gods alliance who were banished here three thousand years ago, just the small lords under the mountain have driven them into a desperate situation, and the big lords like the bone dragon have not even made a move. The Ten Thousand Demon Hell has to go deep into the eighteen layers of hell in a row to reach it, and its difficulty can be imagined. Therefore, many strong men would rather go deep into the vast void to explore blindly than go to hell to die. Maybe Benjamin really wanted to die on the way to the legend.
"Do you remember all the magic you were taught last time?" asked the Lich King.
"Remember, senior. ”
"If you want to thank me, when you reach the holy level in the future, go to the Ice and Snow Church to snatch the condensation, it should belong to me. The Lich King glanced at Bright and said in a tone of course, "Since you have studied magic with me, it makes sense that you are also half my student, and you are in charge." ”
Brett was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide in astonishment, but unfortunately he had no body and could not make an exaggerated facial expression. If you were to ask any ice mage what equipment you wanted the most, seven or eight out of ten would have the same answer. Artifact, ascending condensation. This is a magic staff in the hands of the Ice and Snow Church, and it is also one of the seven artifacts of the Ameixia plane.
The Lich King didn't pay attention to Bright's shock, but looked up at the dome above the lonely peak, squeezing a smile out of his rigid face, and then at the deep hole, as if he had made up his mind, "Let's go, it's time to leave." ”
Bright followed him out of the hidden col with the Lich King, who suddenly stopped, "Listen, I'll just say it once!"
Before Brett could react to what the Lich King meant, he heard a series of spells slowly coming from his mouth, and under the influence of this spell, it was as if the ice elementals of the entire undead hell were rioting, converging on Benjamin's side from all directions. Bright's body is a little unstable on its feet due to this effect, which can cause visions of heaven and earth, is this magic a forbidden spell?
In the history of the Ameithia plane, many departments of elemental magic have developed ninth-level magic, that is, forbidden spells, but there are also some types that seem to be eighth-level is already the limit, and no one has ever experimented with forbidden spells, and the ice system is a system without forbidden spells.
But now in front of Bright, the thick ice element is overwhelmingly condensed and formed, and a little hexagonal ice crystal gathers around Benjamin, which is exactly an ice forbidden spell!
When the spell ended, a patch of frost grew thicker and thicker in the col, finally filling the entire col. Suddenly, it was as if the heavens and the earth had condensed, and Brett was somewhere outside of this world, staring at the strange and distorted crystal world. Bright's vision finally adjusted to the white world, and he saw the crystalline col with several ice and snow sculptures of various sizes standing in it, which Brett recognized as zombies who had attacked him before, the largest of which was the Corpse King. The Corpse King's immense power was still fresh in Bright's memory, but by this time it had completely fallen silent, all life was cut off, and even the mental fluctuations were gone, as if the soul had been frozen.
Benjamin paused for the staff in his hand, and the snow-white crystal instantly peeled off in the frost. Zombies, corpse kings, and even the ice of the entire mountain all bloomed layer by layer, and then scattered into stardust in the sky, withering like flowers.
When all the elements returned to calm, Brett was shocked, the place where the col used to be had completely lost its original shape, and became a flat land, and the huge and majestic mountain had actually retreated a kilometer! The power of the forbidden spell is terrifying!
"This forbidden spell, I call it, withers with death. ”
The sound came from far above, and Bright raised his head to look around, but Benjamin was still there, and he turned to the top of the highest mountain, as if he saw a figure flying firmly in the gray clouds.
Even years later, this is still the most indelible impression in Dacko's mind. Even if time stands still that subverts the law, even the aetheric heat death that breaks through the plane cannot overshadow this magnificent and crystalline death withering. Although the forbidden spell is strong, it can only be used as the background of that figure.
