Hearing Acery's words, not only did Catherine on the Skeleton Throne and the people beside him be shocked, but even North beside Ace was also stunned for a while.

The meaning of Acery's words could be clearly heard by any creature in the field, and the necromancer with the two artifacts was none other than North beside him. North himself understands this as well.

What puzzled North was that Ace's words at this time were different from what the lich had discussed at the beginning.

In North's opinion, if King Diya is qualified to join the Lich Gathering, he should obviously know his true identity, but only to attract the attention of his enemies, claiming to be the owner of the artifact, rather than the actual holder. The real artifact holder should be Lord Rhodes.

Prior to this, North thought that Aisley would at least tell King Cathery about his true identity, and as a king, he should also know this, but he never thought that Aisley didn't take King Dia in his eyes at all.

At this time, listening to what Ace meant, she obviously didn't want to tell anyone here about this information, but chose to hide them all and directly let North show herself as the owner of the artifact.

In this way, only the real lich knows the true situation of the artifact, and everyone else, including King Dia, will only think that North is the owner of the artifact, which can confuse the enemy's information and facilitate the progress of the battle, but at the cost of putting North in even greater danger than before.

North himself, naturally, has no way to refute the words from the lich's mouth, whether it is the difference in identity or strength, so that North does not dare to have any resistance, and can only follow what Ace said.

The previous conversation in the ashram also made North realize that Aisley did not make such a decision at random, she was willing to tell the truth about the history of the royal family of Diya, and naturally hoped that she could live a little longer, and would not let herself die at will.

Obviously, Acery's choice was her own, and North didn't understand why, but she could only act on the lich's words.

There was a slight panic in his heart, and in order to prevent this from being seen by the other creatures, North could only sink his face completely, and with a gloomy expression, he faced the other creatures in the field, just like the most common vigilance of a necromancer.

Looking at North's expression, all the creatures in the field naturally have different thoughts in their hearts.

By perceiving the death energy on North's body, the other creatures in the field really couldn't see what was so special about the artifact holder in Acery's mouth.

"I don't believe he's the owner of the artifact, unless he can show the power of the artifact in front of me."

It wasn't Cathery on the throne who said this, it was the human man beside him.

From Caterry's eyes, the human man received such a signal, understood what the king meant, and immediately asked Aceri the question in his heart.

After Aceray had just announced North's identity, the human man said such words, which was undoubtedly a deep offense to Acery, as if questioning the authority of the lich, if it was questioned by other lichs, it might not be a big deal, but at this time, it was a great disrespect for Diya's necromancer.

Perhaps it was because of this that Cathery did not dare to inquire in person, so he could only let his subordinates say these words on his behalf.

Sensing the offensiveness in the human man's words, Ace said coldly.

"I'm talking to the king of Diya, and in what turn did the others interject?"

A chill spread through the palace, and even North on the side could feel it deeply, and with the rapid condensation of death energy, Aceri's voice slowly came out.

"Be punished."

As he spoke, Ace raised his hand, and a black mist composed of death energy instantly enveloped the questioning man in front of him.

A roar of pain came from the black mist. Perhaps it was because of the deliberately low tone in the palace that could not alleviate the heart-rending feeling at all. Just listening to the roar, the other creatures in the field could feel the pain that the man was suffering.

The black mist lasted for a while, until the man in the middle was almost unable to roar, and then Aceri waved his hand again, unleashing the spell.

As the black mist dissipated, the man's figure reappeared in the eyes of all the creatures in the field.

The original sturdy man, after being shrouded in black mist, was covered with traces left by the erosion of death energy, and there was no intact place on his body, and there were large festering marks, making his skin gray-brown, and the overall look looked like a half-rotten corpse was forcibly transformed into a walking corpse, and his face could not see the face of a living thing.

Seeing the tragic situation of the man at this time, North was shocked in his heart, he never thought that Ace, who had been kind to himself along the way and answered the questions in his heart many times, would make such a punishment to the man just now because of the offense of a word.

After seeing the man's tragic condition with his own eyes, North seemed to begin to understand where the prestige of those lichs in Diya came from.

Recalling the scene he saw at the lich meeting, in North's memory, Rhodes at that time was not so polite to the lich in his words, but was not punished by the lich at all, which couldn't help but give North a new understanding of Rod.

After dispelling the black mist, Ace's words came again: "I did not deprive you of your life force, but only destroyed the original structure of your body and caused it to suffer from the erosion of death energy, and the pain you endured also came from this, which is considered a punishment for your offense." ”

Looking at the man who had been eroded by the energy of death, and saying these words, Aceri's expression did not change at all, as if he had just done a trivial matter.

"After offending the lich, you can still leave a life, and not even the life force has been lost, this is already a gift from the lich to you, Stronk, don't hurry up, thank the lich for giving you this look."

Cathery's words rang out in the room, and for some reason, North felt that he could feel a surge of anger in them.

Half-kneeling on the ground, supporting his body, Stronk did not reply, as if the erosion of the previous death energy had taken away a lot of his energy.

Hearing Caterry's words, Aceri took the initiative to turn his head and look at the King of Deya.
