Chapter 20: The Lich
"Alas, such a large estate, I don't know when it will be full of plants. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "The lich seems to be in a good mood at this time.
"Girl, you won't have to play on the swing in the future." An Ling dragged my arm, as if she hadn't heard, and looked blankly at the messy land around her.
"The flower of the underworld is not a real thing, little girl, you will always be confused by this kind of thing full of spiritual deception." The lich said lazily.
"You are talking nonsense, the Underworld Flower must be real." After hearing this, An Ling was shocked as if he had been suddenly struck by magic.
"It is not a beautiful thing to use the life force, which is almost nothing, as a nourishment to make oneself grow, this flower is not worthy of the legend, and it is not unreasonable to say that it does not exist." The lich said.
"But isn't it dying of its own?" An Ling retorted. "That's the little skeleton's lack of ability, it's really beyond my expectations, I didn't expect that even the essential power of the undead realm can be mastered. If he is strong enough, the flower of the underworld will be able to bloom constantly, but ah, in the end, the whole world may not be able to afford this expensive flower. The lich said lightly.
"Torturing people with the contact of life energy and the breath of death, this woman is really vicious, but life and death, who can say clearly."
"Why did you let us come out, you didn't come out to deal with him yourself, it should be very simple to deal with him with your ability." I don't care about the legend of the underworld flower, and I get straight to the point.
"Wipe the kiss marks off your forehead first, and then ask questions, sir, your girlfriend will be unhappy if you go out like this." As soon as the lich turned around, he jumped into the chimney. "What do I use on my forehead? What are kiss marks? I asked the summoner.
An Ling's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, is this human shyness? It's okay to be shy.
"Yes, there are some traces, don't move, I'll wipe it off for you." As she spoke, An Ling reached out and prepared to touch my skull. I didn't dare to make direct contact with her without the breath of pure death, so I reached out and took her hand, turned and led her to the castle.
"Hey, let me wipe it off, little skeleton, it's a shame, you rascal, it's all about reading the lich's books and ruining you." The summoner reluctantly followed me.
I probed it myself, it was the traces of her lips eroded on my forehead when I removed the undead breath from the summoner's head before, because I had to deal with those crazy attacking plants, there was no excess necromantic breath to repair the body in the end, anyway, most of it was complete, how could it be possible to waste precious power for this single trace that did not affect combat effectiveness.
"Thank you, little skeleton, for blaming this old lich for making us so embarrassed." An Ling said softly.
I reached out and put my arm around her shoulder, which, according to human parlance, signifies intimacy between two people, and I think this should be enough for her to understand that our relationship goes without words of gratitude. Her body stiffened slightly, and she didn't speak again, but why did her heart beat so fast all of a sudden, and it is said that a fast human heartbeat will shorten her life...
We walked into the castle.
"I just said that your girlfriend would be unhappy, and now I hugged it, which is really gratifying." The lich's voice came from a room called the kitchen, and he walked out and changed into a plain black outfit with a fabric called a shirt, which according to the classification of humans, this set is called an evening dress? I don't think I'm wearing it at this time.
"Dear Madam, it's not good for you to sit like this." The lich said to the summoner.
An Ling let go of me and went upstairs. "Come and sit," the lich said to me casually, and I went over to sit on one side near the front, and on the other side was the stone chair and special cutlery for the summoner.
The lich placed the many plates floating behind him in front of the summoner and his place, then turned and entered the kitchen again. Soon the summoner went downstairs, nothing had changed, just combed her hair and coiled it in the back, would it be nice to sit down like this? What nerves do lichs have.
The summoner sat across from me, his head bowed and his face flushed. "Are you okay, your heart is beating so fast, isn't it poisoned, or is there still a necromantic aura left in your body that hasn't been cleared? Could it be that the magic was invaded by improper magic before? Or is it the kind of physiological sign of a human woman known as menstruation? I asked her.
"Shut up," the summoner raised his head and said directly, completely without all the previous states, could it be that I was dazzled before.
"Well, it's rare to be in the mood for a dinner party, don't waste it." The lich came with many plates of food at this time. After putting the food away, he sat down and began to eat slowly with the summoner. "Isn't it good to grasp it with your hands, the best tools for human beings have been wasted by you."
I couldn't stand the way they used knives and forks to slowly cut food, so I suggested. The lich's face was black, and the summoner was much more direct, "Shut up," she said.
"I didn't make a move today because I think you two have what it takes down that stupid person. Although I underestimated his abilities, I also underestimated your abilities, especially the little skeletons. The food on the table was almost finished by the lich alone, and he opened his mouth as he cut some kind of meat.
"Who is that person today, who has nothing to do to come to this gloomy place to peek at me taking a bath." An Ling said.
"Uh..."
"Take a bath, hahaha, it's worth dying, it's worth dying." The lich burst out laughing.
"Tell me quickly, who the hell is he." An Ling looked at the lich and said speechlessly, for human beings, being seen bathing, or being naked seems to be a very serious thing, everyone has something that needs to be peeked, and it will be nervous to be peeked, I feel that human beings are really hopeless.
"You've probably heard of a church organization called the Cult of the God of Life." The Lich Legstone asked at An Ling.
"Well, it seems to be a church a long time ago, since the appearance of the damn Light Church, that church seems to have disappeared, speaking of which, the spell used by that person today seems to be life magic." An Ling said while thinking.
"The man who came today is a priest of the Cult of the God of Life, and a poor man who is too fanatical to pursue his faith and is ostracized." The lich preached.
"Why did they come here to look for you? Have you seduced the wives of their important people? "I thought that most of the men's duels in the Lich's collection were fought by women, and I couldn't help but ask.
The summoner held his forehead.
"Shut up," the lich said this time.
"The reason for this starts when I was still the Pope." The lich pondered. "You're too young to have heard my name, my full name is St. Ansente Matlev Al Barnetta Liegustone, crowned, St. Ancent III."
"Iron Sermon," An Ling exclaimed, covering her mouth after hearing the lich's words.
"It turns out that you still know me, and it's worthy of the Sandru family."
"Didn't you die? Didn't you claim to hate the undead the most, then how did you become this ghost you hate the most! An Ling's attitude suddenly became extremely disgusted, and he said with a sneer.
The lich didn't care about her attitude, and went on to say, "Death, hum, there's no good reason why the Holy See can afford to lose this man." Indeed, at first I hated the undead terribly, not only the undead, but I also hated all other religions that were not the Holy See of Light, even the affiliated religions that belonged to the Holy See of Light, and I was a fanatical religious person like this person today.
My grandfather was the Pope, my father was also the Pope, I was occupied by the education of the Holy See of Light since I was a child, and my father even issued a will on his deathbed saying that I was forbidden to inherit this position, but I was pressured by the Presbytery, which I learned later.
During my reign, I sent troops to purge other religions many times, and you must know the religious fanaticism, the Sandru family was not worse than the Holy See of Light at the beginning, you should have heard of that history, among which was the Cult of the God of Life. Later, when I broke with the Holy See, the Holy See of Light sent people to hunt me down, and when the Pope of the God of Life Cult heard about it, he sent three elders to kill me with their holy relic, the Heart of Life, which was actually a seed from an unknown tree.
After I killed two and wounded one of them, I fled with their holy relics, I was seriously injured at that time, and it took me a long time to recover from the deep mountains and forests, and at that time I also discovered the powerful effect in the heart of life, so I always carried it with me.
The Pope of the God of Life has been sending people to hunt me down, at first they were all elites, and slowly found that there was no hope, so they sent some old, weak, sick and disabled people to save face, and in the past hundred years, they have from time to time sent stunned young people in their religion who do not obey their discipline to test me, wanting to take back the Heart of Life when I am seriously injured or too weak, hum, too naïve. ”
The lich spoke for a long time, and finally stopped.
"Is the Heart of Life really here?" An Ling asked.
"Right down this castle, why do you think there would be such a vibrant manor on Shadowfang Island, which is full of dark elements and doesn't grow a few hairs?" The lich said.
"Don't you get bored of seeing something so vibrant?" I asked.
"At first, it was quite annoying, but then I slowly discovered something, and I was no longer bored with it, and although it matched my aristocratic status, how could I live without a manor." The lich replied.
"You're already a necromancy, nobleman, that's what humans call it." I say.
The lich was silent for a moment, "Yes, I'm no longer human, what does that mean to me, noble, isn't that what I hate the most right now!" ”
"The education of your family nobility has long been ingrained in your bone marrow, what is the point of not caring about it, you are quite good now, at least not as perverted as other lich rumors." An Ling interjected.
"No, I'm really perverted." The lich looked at An Ling and said.
