Chapter 11: The Lich
"The female ghost of the millennium~Deng's Deng~The female ghost~" The ghost cried wolf howl in my head, but I couldn't stop him, because now under the coercion released by the "person" in front of me, let alone speak casually, even the simple opening of my mouth has become extremely difficult for me.

"No...... "That's right," but just like the one who sang, the woman's body hung in mid-air, floating around next to Hill, like a legendary ghost, "You said your name was Hill Glos?" ”
"Yes." Under the strong pressure, Hill still raised his head and looked at the woman without humility or arrogance.
"No, you smell like that." The woman's tone became firm, "You don't have the surname Glos. ”
"Tell me, what did that ghost family do you want to do when they send you to the underworld?" As she questioned, the pressure in the air suddenly became a little heavier, and I saw that Hill was already frowning, obviously not feeling well.
…… This guy ...... I lifted my foot and was about to step forward, but there was a force on my knee that pressed it back.
"The Gaust family is gone, and now my surname is Gloss." Hill almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the sentence.
"Gone?" The coercion disappeared suddenly, and I saw Hill's body shake as if it was out of strength, and hurriedly rushed up to hold her, only to find that Hill's body was already soaked with sweat.
"Yes." Hill gasped slightly, and stood firm on my shoulder, "I was exterminated by the Noahist Sect." ”
"Noah? Extermination? The woman's fairly handsome face showed a gloating expression, "Hahahaha...... Aren't you the most loyal lackeys of the Holy See? How could they still be exterminated? ”
"Hill......" I gently grabbed Hill's already clenched fist and quietly shielded her behind me.
"Goodjob Boy!" Ectomy ...... And what is he talking about?
"But that's not interesting......" After laughing, the woman's face was stunned, "I practiced illusion hard for you......"
"In this way, you go north, there is a town of Weiqu at the junction of the Farr Plateau and the Underworld, you go there to find me." The woman suddenly said, "Remember to say that you are looking for Angela the witch." ”
"Witch?" Ciel's expression changed slightly, "You are indeed ......" "Lich." The woman who called herself Angela seemed to be satisfied with Hill's expression, "Remember to go, I'll give you a month." ”
"So be it." The woman's body gradually disappeared, "Don't ...... Late ......"
――――――――――
Soon after encountering the lich named Angela, Hill and I were found by the faculty of the academy and brought back to the academy.
The "Week of Trials" ended early on the sixth day of the event, but the purpose of the event had already been achieved...... Those who can survive such cruel rules are naturally not ordinary people, and one more day or less day will not have much effect, but the number of students who are lucky enough to keep up with their strength will fluctuate a little.
As for the early ending, the school's explanation was to protect the barrier from being damaged, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties caused by powerful undead creatures, all students who were still alive were urgently recalled.
Of course, whether it was an accident, an undead, or someone else who destroyed the barrier was not mentioned in the statement, but Hill and I knew it.
It is worth mentioning that due to the six consecutive days of cannibalism, most of the students became extremely neurotic, so much so that the teachers had to knock the students who were frantically fleeing and resisting unconscious before packing them back.
But in the past six days, it is probably me, the ghoul, who has benefited the most, and in this kind of battlefield, I have naturally benefited a lot from feeding on corpses.
In short, although it is not perfect, this "Week of Trials" is finally over.
――――――――――
"By the way, Ciel," I suddenly remembered a question as I returned to the academy, "What is 'Lich'?" ”
"Huh?" Ciel, who had just come out of the bathroom, was wearing a crisp white nightdress, "You say the lich? ”
"Think about it...... Ciel's sitting on the edge of the bed, his left hand around his chest, his right hand gently pinching his chin, "Generally speaking, lichs are mages who use magic to achieve immortality. In order to have a longer life to conduct their own research, they used necromancy to transform themselves from the living to the undead, and stored their souls in the [Life Box], and used the [Life Box] to manipulate the alchemy-forged body to move. All in all, it's a group of unscrupulous old immortals who want to do anything for research. Finally, Ciel nodded affirmatively.
"The girl is so complaining......" Yu commented on this commentary.
"For thousands of years, people's impression of the lich is generally very poor, firstly, because the lich has been out of the category of [the living], and ordinary people do not like the undead too much; The second is that lichs are usually only interested in their own research, and their long solitary lives make them often moody; The third is ......," Hilble paused, "Most of the alchemy bodies are not very ...... Beautiful. ”
"However, due to the different research directions, the alchemical bodies of the lich are also different, and Angela we met before is an example: her body is not entirely physical, but should have a layer of undead power attached to a metal skeleton."
"Speaking of Angela, Xiaoye, what do you think of her invitation to me?" Hill suddenly turned to me and asked.
“…… I don't know. After a moment's thought, I shook my head. After all, people are unpredictable, and although Angela would not deceive a little magic apprentice, Ciel has just said that the lich is moody, and maybe this invitation is just the witch trying to have fun.
What's more...... "A woman's heart is a needle, you must be careful of your small business!" That's what he said.
"......," Hill was silent for a moment, then sighed after all, "Forget it, how can we possibly understand the Lich's mind." ”
"Xiaoye, I'll go talk to Teacher Alleyne tomorrow." In the end, Hill made a decision.
"Let's go to that town called Weiqu together."
――――――――――
"You're leaving the academy?" The next morning, Hill stood in Alleyne's office and handed in his application to leave school.
"Yes, I need to take the next two months of vacation to take care of something." Hill stood straight, his eyes not squinting, and he looked completely businesslike, "I hope you approve of it." ”
“…… Really...... That's how you always ......" Alleyne looked at me standing in the corner, then at Hill, slowly leaned back in his chair, and gently folded the application in half, and then folded it in half, "I always put forward some willful demands regardless of it, so that I always have no face in front of others......"
"But forget it, what's wrong with the master favoring his own disciples?" The old man flicked his fingers, and the small paper square in his hand flew to the table in a whirl, "Say, do you need any help?" ”
“…… Belch...... Qian ...... "I saw that Ciel's face was still red, and even his voice was not as confident as before-as the so-called copper coin stumped the paladin, and Ciel's economic situation ...... How so...... Extraordinary...... Distress......
“…… Well, if you're not in such a hurry, I'll take care of the luggage and coils for you. Alleyne shook his head helplessly, obviously he knew this disciple of his own very well.
"Finally," said the old man, standing up, "is it convenient to reveal what is the matter?" ”
“…… Still can't. Hill shook his head, "All I can say is ...... Something to do with the Lich. ”
"Alas......" Alleyne let out a long sigh and walked over to Ciel, rubbing Ciel's head, his eyes full of kindness, "You always cause trouble for me this old man......"
"Well, you're my disciple......"
