"In the process of performing the secret method, I did smell the fragrance of flowers." Faced with Elsa's inquiry, Rhodes admitted this and then asked, "But what's the point?" This doesn't bring me anything at all. ”

"Wouldn't it make sense to help the Lich feel the scent of the flowers again?"

As if thinking of something, Aisha sighed and added: "According to the traces of ritual left on your body, it seems that you lost your flesh and blood not long ago, and your aura has not changed at all, which is why I can confirm your identity for the first time, for the lack of perception, you naturally don't care so much, but the real lich doesn't see it that way." ”

"The Aromatic Secret Method is one of the few secret methods that allows the Lich to fully perceive the outside world, which is why it is valued by all Lichs, and almost every Lich will master it."

"It's not just the scent of flowers, if it acts on food, the aromatic secret method can also help the lich, feel the taste that belongs to the food, the boiling oil, the sweet and sour jam, their taste, the lich can feel through the aromatic secret method, isn't that enough?"

"I don't understand." From Elsha's words, Rhodes could understand what it was trying to say, but Rhodes was puzzled by one of them.

"I've seen lichs like Stephen and Aceley, they retain their human form, and they should have all the perceptions of ordinary people, whether it is taste or smell, and they don't need the secret method of aroma to perceive everything in the outside world, if the lich wants to recover their senses, can't they use the secret method to restore their human form?"

Aisha shook her head: "On the surface, the bodies of those lichs are no different from ordinary people, but this is only the effect of the secret method, making their bodies look a little human, in fact, their perception is still missing, and almost all perception is missing, just like your state at this time." ”

"You haven't become a real lich yet, so naturally you don't understand the feelings of those lichs, you just make judgments about this matter according to your original thinking, and you don't know the real situation. If I had been able to have the same perception as ordinary people if I had regained my human form, I would not be what I am now. ”

Aisha, whose body was made entirely of bones, said, and Rhodes could sense the thoughts that belonged to him from its words.

Aisha was eager for the missing sense, just like the elemental creatures Rhodes had seen, except that the elemental creatures had never had this kind of perception, while the lich had this perception but was lost during the ritual.

"It sounds like it makes sense, but for me, the Aromatic Secret Method is just a means to absorb the power of potions."

"The secret method is in your hands, you can use it however you want." Knowing that Rhodes didn't listen to his words, Aisha didn't pay too much attention to it, and just replied casually.

"Fortunately, it is out of ...... The influence of a certain thing, I found a way to have an external perception without the secret method of aroma, I believe that you came here this time for this matter. ”

Hearing Elsa's words, Rod's expression changed faintly, and from its words, Rod's expression sensed something unusual.

Combined with the purpose of this trip, Rod is keenly aware that all these changes are inextricably linked to the object he is looking for, that is, North.

"Did something happen?"

"You'll find out later, what you've personally felt is much more real than what I said."

Once again, Elsa did not answer Rod's inquiry directly, but let Rhodes find out for himself.

Leah, who was on the side, listened to the words between Rhodes and Aisha in her ears, and a sense of foreboding appeared in her heart.

Having experienced the necromancer before, Leah was not surprised that the lord and the lich were talking on an equal footing, and since their conversation did not shy away from the creatures around her, Leah listened to it in its entirety.

Previously, when Rod and Elsa talked about the topic of the secret method of aromatherapy, because it did not involve esoteric matters, Leah was able to understand the meaning, but in the last matters they discussed, there was no mention of Nos, which Leah was looking for, but Leah still had unstoppable worries in her heart, and a sense of foreboding followed.

With a deep sigh, Leah knew that at this time, she was not qualified to ask questions, and there was no way to change the situation in front of her, even if North was in a disadvantageous situation, she could not bring any help to him.

Rhodes, who walked with the lich in front of him, gave Leah a lot of comfort in her heart, and after feeling the strength of the lord, Leah knew that Rhodes was her only reliance on this trip, and without his help, Leah could not imagine how she would be treated.

recalled that he had asked Rhodes many times before, about North's whereabouts, Rod simply used words to dismiss himself, and Leah at that time, only when Rod deliberately concealed some important matters from himself, he was unwilling to tell himself the true situation of North.

In Leah's opinion at that time, the worst-case scenario was naturally that North had already died, and she had no way of knowing, and in the case of not being sure whether North was dead or alive, Leah's attitude towards the lord was naturally not respectful.

At this time, after realizing that Rod had helped her one after another, Leah felt a pang of guilt, and her heart swelled up with apologies to the lord, and she wanted to say something to Rhodes, but in the end she didn't say it, she knew that this was not the place for her to speak.

Silently writing this down in her heart, Leah looked at Rhodes with a hint of reverence, not out of fear by the power Rod showed, but because of what he did.

In addition to the change in Rhodes's attitude, Leah's heart is more worried about North at this time.

For some reason, the more she followed Rhodes and his party to the palace of Dia, where North was located, the more anxious Leah felt in her heart, and the foreboding that came with it became stronger, as if something she didn't want to happen.

"We're here."

After finishing the conversation with Elsa, Rod's ears came to Cathery's words, and at this time, Rhodes and his party came to a tall pitch-black castle.

In perception, the death energy around him was not as strong as Rhodes expected, far from reaching the level in the lich territory, but Rhodes could faintly sense an abnormality from it.

A special aura completely enveloped the castle in front of him, and the death energy coming out of the depths was a form that Rhodes had never felt before, for Rhodes, who had a god-level spiritualism, this was naturally extremely unusual, and after perceiving this, Rhodes' expression became solemn.
