When North passed through the portal of time and space and came to this area, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the pitch black environment, the energy of death was extremely thick, and the dark green flames that flickered around it illuminated the bones stacked under his feet.

"Is this the area where the lich lives?"

Looking at the special environment in front of him, North had a lot of feelings in his heart, behind him, the broken teleportation tablet tilted to the side, looking like it might collapse at any time, and Rhodes was already surprised.

After appearing, the rich death energy took the initiative to move closer to Rod's position, and the existence of god-level spiritualism allowed Rod's to dominate this special magic element.

After coming to the Death Wasteland, feeling the constant call of death energy, coupled with the bones that can be easily transformed everywhere around, a sense of peace of mind arose in Rhodes's heart.

North on the side seemed to be unable to bear the death energy that was gathered, and his body trembled faintly, seeing this, Rod had to take the initiative to dispel the death energy around him.

"Save your surprise to the lichs."

North's reaction made Rod frown, and after a brief reminder, Rod took the first step towards the depths of the Death Waste.

The gesture from the perception made Rod notice that many unique and powerful auras were in a position not far away, as if they were waiting for something, even Rhodes could feel a strong threat from the aura coming from afar.

Thinking of the previous agreement with Stephen, Rhodes knew that there were already many lichs waiting here. Rod didn't choose to ride the ghost dragon, but just walked, and it was also because of this.

As he walked forward, North seemed to sense something, looked up, and through the faintly flickering flames, he found that there were countless ghosts floating in the sky, watching everything below.

The scene in front of him suddenly surprised North, and he wanted to tell Rod about the anomaly here, but seeing that Rod didn't pay attention to his thoughts.

As North observed the Shade, the Shade also sensed his gaze and looked back at the hollow eyes that flickered with soul fire, and North only felt that his existence was exposed to the gaze of all the Shades.

The appearance of this anomaly made North quickly lower his head, not daring to look at the top of his head again.

As the distance deepened, Rhodes also connected with the Corpse Witch King he had transformed last time through the spiritual imprint. During this time, Stephen did not deal with the Witch Kings, leaving them to remain in the Dead Wasteland.

In addition, in Rod's sight, there were also many undead creatures belonging to Stephen.

After sensing Rod's gaze, these different types of undead creatures raised their hands one after another, and in a nondescript posture, they pointed in a direction in the depths of the Death Wasteland, which was the direction in which Rhode was going.

This move of the undead creature also made Rhodes understand that Stephen had already sensed his arrival.

Continuing to move forward, it didn't take long for a relatively bright white glow to appear in front of the two of them.

Perhaps because he had adapted to the dark environment, even though he had reached the location where the light came from, North still couldn't look directly at the environment in front of him, and felt that the light around him was extremely dazzling.

After a long while, North got used to it, barely observing his surroundings.

Noth noticed that the white glow was coming from the candles all around, apparently blessed by spells, and the thing used to hold them was none other than the dry bones on the ground that he had broken somehow many.

A large number of hand bones were propped upside down from the ground, palms upward, and these candles were placed on them, and at intervals, there were such candlesticks, and North even saw the skull with the candle on it, and he didn't know what the lich had done to make it look like this.

At the same time, North found that a special figure appeared in front of him and Rod at some point, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome to the Dead Wasteland, Rod. Counting myself, I have gathered for you the entire Dejane, plus a new lich, thirteen lichs, who are very interested in your artifact. ”

The deep female voice reached North's ears, and it was only swept by her gaze, and Norston felt that all his secrets had been seen through by him, and there was no way to hide it from him.

Perhaps because of his low strength, this incomparably powerful existence, his gaze did not stay on North's body, but only swept over him, even so, North was still in a panic.

Thinking of the content of the words, North had already realized that the woman who appeared in front of the two at this time, and seemed to be coming to greet them, was actually a real lich.

Looking closely at the woman's appearance, it was difficult for North to associate her with what he believed to be a lich, and from her body, North could not see any signs of death energy erosion, nor could he feel any death energy.

North knew that this was mostly due to the difference in strength, not only the woman in front of her, but also the existence of the other dozen or so lichs she mentioned, and the only one who could deal with them was Rhodes in front of him.

From this lich, North saw the possibility of solving his own confusion, and the fear in his heart began to dissipate, so he honestly stood behind Rhodes, knowing that he was probably the most humble existence in this situation.

In Rod's sight, Stephen, who appeared in front of him, was still dressed as always, with an exaggerated arachnid crown on his head, and an elegant black long skirt, the skirt was propped up high, and was not affected by the dry bones on the ground in the slightest.

"It is worth noting that after hearing that a large number of lichs will gather in the Death Wasteland, Diya's royal family also sent an emissary, and several lichs are very close to this emissary."

As if to remind Rod, Stephen volunteered to add this information.

Sensing Stephen's release of kindness, Rhodes nodded to her, but still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked:

"Is there still a royal family in Diane? Aren't immortal lichs enough to rule the land? ”

In Rod's impression, the lich is the real ruler of the entire Deya, and there should be no regular royal family in this land where the necromancer lives, even if the necromancer is later named the king of Deya, there seems to be no sign of the existence of the royal family.

Seeing that Rhodes didn't know this, Stephen's expression remained unchanged and replied, "The royal family has existed since the establishment of Deya, and heroic necromancers, or other creatures, will be elected as the king of Deya after receiving the approval of many liches. ”

Hearing Stephen's words, Rhodes couldn't help but fall into memories, hoping to find information about the royal family of Diya through the game memories of his previous life.

"The influence of the royal family is very weak, and no lich will obey the royal family's commands, but the royal family may need to meet our demands. If something important happens, in the case that the lich is not able to come forward, a member of the royal family needs to come forward. ”

After listening to Stephen's words, Rhodes immediately realized that Diya's royal family was actually just a puppet regime serving these lichs, and it was not the current king of Diya who could influence the orders issued by the royal family, but these immortal lichs.

Due to the huge influence of the lich, coupled with the fact that the necromancer academies in various places dominated certain political trends, the royal family, which was supposed to rule Diya, became inconspicuous.

If it weren't for Stephen mentioning the royal family of Deya, Rod would not know that Diya still has a royal family, and in his thoughts, it is those immortal lichs who rule Diya.

"Who is the current king of Diya?" Rhodes asked, since there is a royal family, there must be a king on the bright side, and Rhodes is very curious about the identity of the king.

Hearing Rod's question, Stephen's patience did not diminish in the slightest, and after countless years of survival, the lich had already developed a mind far superior to that of other creatures, so he replied:

"The current king of Dia is a hero named Cathery who failed to perform the Endless Night Ritual and failed to become a lich and can only exist in the form of a semi-undead creature."

"The messenger he sent was a very ambitious young undead lord named Phoenix Wilma. Joining forces with Phoenix are the new Lich Modo, a royal affair with Elsa, and the Lich's natural hero, Nagas, who seems to be plotting 'something'. ”

Hearing Stephen's abrupt tone at the end, Rhodes understood the seriousness of the problem after being reminded by the lich.

Rhodes believed that Stephen was not telling him this for nothing, or that he was just sharing the information with him, and that the words she said were almost an explicit indication to Rhodes that some of the lichs were hostile to him and had the idea of seizing the artifact.

The only thing that made Rhodes a little suspicious was that this information was only Stephen's words, and Rhodes knew too little information about the lich that existed here, and if Stephen told a lie, he might put himself in a disadvantageous situation.

Rod could not trust all of Stephen's words, nor could he disbelieve them all, this was the only way that Rhodes could obtain information before meeting with the Lich.

Prior to this, Rhodes had also tried to learn information about the lich in Diya from the members of the Thieves Guild, but the results obtained did not satisfy Rhodes.

In the Thieves' Guild, there are a lot of vague statements about the Lich, which makes this already extremely special existence even more confusing, and relying on the information in the Thieves' Guild alone, Rhodes can't even figure out how many Lichs Diya has.

As one of these lichs, most of the information provided by Stephen was, in Rod's opinion, extremely credible, and Rod knew that there were at least thirteen lichs in total, and that there was a certain connection to Modo among them.

The total number of lichs in Diya's territory is far less than Rhodes imagined, and Rhodes originally thought that this land where necromancers exist, after countless years of accumulation, how could there be dozens of lichs.

According to Rhodes' understanding of the necromancer system, any necromancer who has reached the apex of the fifth order can use the Endless Night Ritual to transform himself into a lich.

The Lich who has just been promoted is only equivalent to an ordinary sixth-order creature, not only is the number of undead creatures under his hands small, but in terms of spell casting ability, it is not as good as the orthodox high-level mage, due to the impact of death energy on his own mana, most of the damage spells, the effect is even worse than before the promotion to the Lich.

It is only after an extremely long period of accumulation and control of countless undead creatures that the true power of the lich can be unleashed.

Unlike these sixth-order lichs in Diya, within Bracada, there are many high-level mages in almost any magic academy, and it is not uncommon for there to be several legendary mages in the profound magic academy at the same time, not to mention the magic guild, which attracts all mages to join.

Compared with Bracada, there is an extremely obvious gap between Diya at the level of high-level creatures, although there are still high-level undead creatures, but compared to the strength of high-level mages and legendary mages, ordinary high-level undead creatures are obviously not enough.

The Endless Night Ritual can help necromancers get rid of the limitations of their bodies and become lichs with higher life forms, but in the process, there are also failures.

Rhodes noticed that Stephen's Cathery was an example of how he failed to use the Ritual of the Endless Night to transform himself into a lich, instead becoming a different form of undead creature.

With the unsuccessful transformation of the Endless Nights Ritual and the being able to be elected King of Deya, Rhodes believes that there must be something remarkable about him that would satisfy these lichs, perhaps due to his heroic prowess.

In addition, what made Rod a little concerned was that he heard the name Modo again from Stephen's mouth. In Rod's memory, the last time he heard the name was from the Spiritual Order of Bracada.

Stephen's address to Modo caught Rod's attention, and in the original conversation, Stephen referred to Modo several times as the new lich.

This is very consistent with the information that Rhodes received in the Spiritual Society, and Rod recalls that Modo's promotion to the Lich seems to be inextricably linked to his attack on the Freelance Chamber of Commerce when he rescued Rowling.

By seizing the Mother of the Dead in the merchant group and blaming Rhodes, Modo obtained the core materials of the Endless Night Ritual, and Rhodes did not expect that the two would meet here.

Rhodes recalls that after all that had happened, it had been a long time since Modo had captured the Mother of the Dead and promoted to the rank of Lich, but for the immortal Lich, it was only a brief moment in their long lives, as if it had happened yesterday, and it was no wonder that Stephen kept calling Modo the new Lich.
