Chapter 1002: Temptation 1
The necromancer's words sounded like he was just stating the facts about the artifact to the lich in front of him, but what was actually contained in them was a deliberate or unintentional sense of guidance, trying to divert the lich's attention to the artifact.
The lich who has survived for countless years will naturally not be easily affected by the words of others to affect his own judgment, and the guidance in this kind of discourse is likely to have the opposite effect on the lich.
While the necromancer was talking to the two lichs, there was always a pitch-black mist beside them, which obscured an area the size of a person, and even the light that appeared above the Death Wasteland could not dispel it, and at this time, a voice began to come out of this black mist.
"Phoenix, then tell me, who is the most suitable person to control such an artifact? Are the two Legendary Lichs, or are they the other beings in the field, or are you in control? ”
Unlike the two lichs before, Phoenix was able to converse with them normally, and from this black mist, Phoenix could only feel a chill, and the Lich Nags in the fog was not such a good talkative existence.
Sensing the questioning meaning in his words, Phoenix's expression did not change, and he just took himself out:
"I know that my strength is low, and I don't dare to covet any artifacts, it's all up to the lich lords. Whoever is the Great Being who finally obtains this artifact, the royal family of Dia is willing to befriend him and obey the will of the Being, which is what Lord Cateri means. ”
Phoenix's words did not satisfy Naggs, and a cold snort came from the black mist, but it was immediately interrupted by Elsa's words.
"Okay, the artifacts haven't arrived yet, what's the use of saying that these are some and don't?"
Recovering from the shock of first perceiving the god-level spiritualism, Elsa had regained her composure as a lich at this time, and she knew that how to obtain the artifact was the most important thing than these useless arguments, and it was not only a few of them who existed in the field.
Under these circumstances, it is undoubtedly too early to discuss the ownership of the artifact, and the controversy over the artifact is not helpful to the current situation.
As soon as Elsa's words came out, in the black mist, there was no sound immediately, and it seemed to approve of what Aisha said.
Aisha, who has a god-level spiritualism, has a faint leading trend among the three lichs united, and the level of spiritualism can reflect the strength of a lich to a great extent, even if Aisha fails to become a legendary lich, the real strength will not be too different.
"Hey, I don't know what that guy Catheret is doing, when all the lichs of Diya are gathered, even the two legendary lichs are also present, he, the king of Deya, is actually absent from this lich gathering, and just sent an emissary."
As if thinking of something, Aisha sighed, not with much accusation in her words, but with a sense of concern.
It was precisely because of this that Phoenix took the initiative to explain: "The skeleton army under Lord Caterry's command was attacked by Eeri's elite troops, and he suffered heavy damage for a while, and in his rage, he decided to deal with these enemies with his own hands. Lord Cathery is deeply sorry that she was not able to come to this meeting, and asks me to apologize to all the lich lords. ”
However, not all lichs were interested in Caterry's situation, and Mordo interrupted Phoenix, who seemed to be about to say something, and said in a commanding tone:
"It's useless to talk too much, you go and try, that necromancer in the field...... Rhodes's Fiction and Reality. ”
As if recalling something, Modo's expression gradually became difficult to see.
When he learned the information about Rhodes before, Modo only found it difficult to accept, it couldn't imagine that the necromancer who was once not outstanding in the City of Sorrows had become the focus of this lich gathering by virtue of the existence of the artifact.
It wasn't until Rhodes' own figure appeared in the middle of the field that Modo confirmed that the necromancer in front of him was the one he had seen in the Wizarding Guild of the City of Sorrows.
If the relationship between Modo and Rhodes was just like this, Modo might not be too worried, the relationship between the past side was nothing at all on this occasion, and what made the lich feel a little concerned was that it seemed to blame Rhodes for his actions to take the Mother of the Dead in the City of Sorrow.
In this case, because he did not understand Rod's attitude, Modo had to join the ranks of the lich fighting for the artifact with Elsa, and in its opinion, as long as he obtained the artifact from Rod's body, he could not pose a threat to himself.
Rather than find Rhodes to reconcile, Modo would rather settle it all in the way of a necromancer.
Modo had also thought about sending an emissary to this lich gathering, but it was afraid that things would happen beyond its control, and if the lichs did complete the union, he would probably be the first to be cleaned up.
These past experiences caused some unpleasant memories for Modo, who did not expect that the biggest threat he faced after becoming a lich would come from the necromancer who was not in his eyes at all.
Hearing Mordo's words, Phoenix was stunned, he didn't expect that on this occasion, the lich in front of him would let himself, who was only an official necromancer, come forward to test the owner of the artifact.
The wrinkled marks of the facial muscles under the erosion of death energy made Modo's already ugly face even more gloomy, seeing this, Phoenix did not dare to put forward any rebuttal opinions, under the gaze of the few lichs in front of him, Phoenix pretended not to care, and walked towards Rhodes in the field.
Phoenix knew that the huge gap in strength made it impossible for him to talk to these lichs on an equal footing, even if they saw that they were the royal emissary and gave themselves the opportunity to join the dialogue on behalf of the current king Cathery, but the gap in identity still could not be bridged.
In the process of walking towards Rhodes in the field, Phoenix had an extremely strong will in his heart, this kind of despised situation is extremely common in him, how many times he hopes to change all this, and become the most prominent existence in the whole Deya, but always facing the pain of lack of strength.
Out of his own understanding, Phoenix knew very well that he could never be promoted to a lich by his own talent alone, and that he could do all this with the help of the power of an artifact, or the value of some powerful being.
Phoenix realized that this process of testing the virtual and the real was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.
