Chapter 1399: Leah
After separating from Rod and his party, Rowling seemed to think of something, and the joy she felt about Rode's recovery instantly turned into a burst of worry.
After explaining the order from Rhodes to the president of the Potions Guild, Rowling went to a corner of the city, and saw Leah's figure in a room guarded by a group of corpse witches.
Looking at Leah, who was emaciated in the room, only her abdomen bulged, Rowling's face showed uncontrollable worry.
Seeing Rowling's arrival, Leah frowned, but still got up and greeted, "Lord Rowling." ”
"We've brought back North, who is now locked up in the city's dungeons." Rowling sighed.
When she heard the first half of Rowling's sentence, Leah's joy was dispelled by the message of the second half in a blink of an eye: "Why do you want to treat him like this...... I'm going to see him......"
Rowling hurriedly explained, "You can't go to see him, his consciousness is occupied by an ancient lich, and he is no longer the original him." ”
"What then...... Leah asked, distracted.
"There is still a part of consciousness left in his mind, and as long as he is awakened, there is still a chance to break free from the lich's control." Rowling said slowly, "My brother told me that North has the potential to become a hero, and his will is extremely strong, as long as he can awaken his will, he can wake up. ”
As if there was some hope, Leah asked, "How can we awaken his will?" ”
Seeing Leah looking at her like this, Rowling trembled and shook her head: "I don't know...... There is never an accurate answer to this kind of thing, but I think the key to awakening him should be related to you. ”
"Something to do with me?" Leah asked anxiously.
Rowling nodded: "When your name was mentioned, North's will was touched and the lich briefly lost control of his body, I think his consciousness still remembers everything, and if you want to wake him up, you must have your help." ”
"In that case, why don't you let me go and see him? Why don't you give it a try? Leah asked bitterly.
"No...... The elder brother gave the order to seal off the depths of the dungeon, and no one was allowed to come into contact with him, not even near him. Rowling explained, "The lich has no idea what else he can do, and if you get close like this, you may be killed by him, and there is no chance of reviving North." ”
Leah was lost for a moment, then lowered her head deeply.
Rowling couldn't bear it, but still said, "...... Did he hand you any tokens? I think these tokens should help to wake him up. ”
Hearing Rowling say this, Leah seemed to think of something, got up and tried to take something out of the cabinet on the side, seeing this, Rowling hurriedly stepped forward and took out the things in the cabinet for Leah.
Rowling held in her hand was a manuscript and several encapsulated potions, which had been sitting there for an unknown amount of time.
Perhaps because of the frequent cleaning, there is no dust accumulation on the surface of these things.
Rowling quickly examined the manuscript and found that it was full of refining records related to the manipulation of mental potions, which could not be understood by outsiders without knowledge of potions.
"North left in a hurry, and without even saying goodbye, he was taken away by Lord Rhodes." Leah sighed, "These are the research records I found when I checked his room, the records were not completed, and I wanted to help him put them away at the time, to see if he needed them later, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”
Rowling didn't know how to comfort Leah in front of her, pursed her lips, and put the manuscript and potion into the spatial ring, preparing to send these things to the dungeon.
"One more thing......" Rowling was about to leave, when she was suddenly stopped by Leah from behind, "help me ask him if he has thought of his child's name." ”
Rowling jerked her head back and looked at Leah behind her, and finally stopped talking and silently left Leah's room.
Outside the room, until she could no longer see Leah's form, Rowling let out a deep sigh.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Rowling's question is destined to go unanswered. There are some things, even true heroes, who don't know how to deal with them.
Rowling overlooked the blocking guards and went straight to the deepest part of the dungeon, where she stood in front of the imprisoned Errich.
"Is that you?" Erich said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have recovered with the Fountain of Life, otherwise you would not have appeared in front of me in this form." ”
Under the influence of the realm of the dead, Rowling's flesh and blood ceased to exist, and turned into a skeleton.
"Do you recognize these?" With that, Rowling put the manuscript and potion she had received from Leah into the prison.
"Controlling Spirit ......Potions," Errich said disdainfully, flipping through the manuscript briefly, "Unfortunately, true lichs will never lack the spirit of manipulation and will not need the help of potions at all. ”
Errich closed his eyes, slowly pushed the potion back, and said, "Take them away, I don't need these." ”
Rowling shook her head, "This is the potion you developed, or rather, the you used to be." ”
Erich was unmoved: "Are you talking about North?" It's not about me now. ”
Rowling frowned and scolded at Erich, "Do you remember Leah? She was still waiting for you in the city, and she asked me to ask you if you had decided on your child's name! Wake up, North, and don't let the will of the lich take your body away......"
Under Rowling's affectionate persuasion, Erich was silent, and a special emotion flashed in his eyes.
Rowling just thought that her persuasion had worked, but she only heard the blonde man let out a sneer: "I said that I am Erich, the great revelator of the revenant, the immortal ruler of Deya, not the weak and poor North!" Your words are destined to have no effect. ”
Rowling was silent, unable to say anything, and finally slowly left the dungeon.
With Rowling's departure, the entire dungeon fell silent again, and after an unknown time, the sound of footsteps could be heard from a distance.
"Elsa." Seeing the figure appearing here, Erich's face suddenly turned cold, "Why did you betray me?" ”
"To be honest, I don't like you right now." The woman with long black hair said slowly.
"Aisha, our agreement is still valid." Erich got up and said slowly, "As long as you release me, when I have regained all my strength, I will reign over Dia and become king of the kingdom of the dead, and you will be my queen, enjoying all the glory in a human body." ”
Aisha didn't say much, and slowly sat down on the ground outside the cell: "I prefer the former North, I hope he can come back." ”
"North, North." The blond-haired man retorted, "Why do you all care so much about that weak necromancer, where am I not stronger than him?" ”
"North is dead, and I, the great Revelator of the Revelant, will one day reign over Dea." Erich said in a deep voice.
"Looks like you won't understand." Aisha sighed, "It's okay, I'll be here with you in my human body until the end of the world." ”
