Chapter 1037: Cathery One
Outside the quiet room, there was a sharp knock on the door, which disturbed North's thoughts, and before he could say anything, he heard Ace on the side say:
"It seems that our conversation can only end here."
Soon, the door to the ashram reopened, revealing Manu, who had led North and his party into the city.
Seeing the figures of the two in the quiet room, Manu took the initiative to say:
"His Majesty has returned from the battlefield and is now waiting for you in the main hall of the palace, please come with me."
Under Manu's lead, North and Aceri headed in the direction of the main hall, and the occasional other person in the palace saw their figures, and they all got out of the way in time, lest they could avoid it.
The news of the lich's arrival in the royal city had already spread through the mouths of the necromancers outside the city, and it would not be long before all the creatures in the royal city would know about it.
Before entering the ashram, the Corpse Witch King that North had originally carried had already been placed on the periphery of the palace, and according to the necromancer here, undead creatures were not allowed to enter the palace.
For this reason, Manu was followed only by the figures of North and Acere, and no other undead creatures existed.
It didn't take long for North and his party to arrive in the main hall, which was brighter than the city shrouded in the clouds of death.
The dark red carpet was under his feet, and the walls around him were full of solemn ornaments made of bones, and at the end of the carpet extension, a tall throne made of skeletons appeared in North's sight.
A figure, now sitting on the throne of skulls, with scarlet eyes and faintly visible sharp fangs, testified to his bloodline, and North knew that the one who qualified to sit here must be the current king of Dia, Catheret.
In the previous words, Aceri only mentioned that Deya's previous king, Shante, had vampire blood in his body. The sight in front of him made North realize that Cathery also had the bloodline of this undead creature in her body.
Also present in the hall are a number of other creatures.
The skeletal guards with the royal coat of arms of Dia on their shields stood with their backs to the surrounding walls, motionless, as if they were a majestic ornament, but the faint soul fire in their eyes proved that they were different from the decorations, which were the only undead creatures Noth had seen in the palace.
Several figures next to the throne also attracted North's attention. Next to the Throne of Skulls, there are two creatures.
One of them has no traces of death energy erosion, his body is relatively burly, although he is not wearing heavy armor for combat, but no one will doubt his combat ability, he looks like a strong human man, but the death energy that envelops him deeply betrays him.
The other man was bloodless and at first glance indistinguishable from a skeleton creature, except that he still had intact eyes in his sockets, not the soul fire of an undead creature.
Just as North came to the palace and looked around, the two men were also looking at North and his party. From these two people, North was able to perceive a higher level of death energy, and it was obvious that their strength should not be underestimated.
Perhaps to meet with the Lich, there were no other people in the palace at this time, only these few people existed.
Under Manu's leadership, North and his party stood some distance away from the Throne of Skelets.
After bringing North and Acer with him, Manu immediately bowed, but before he could finish his movements, he heard the words of King Catheri from above the throne.
"You don't have to salute. Immortal Mother Earth, tell me what you are here for. ”
According to the relationship between King Diya and the lich, due to the difference in status, it is King Diya who should salute at this time.
Caterry's words, which sounded like an excuse for Manu's act of saluting, actually saved him from an embarrassing situation.
After bringing North and his party to the scene, and seeing a few people in the field, Manu immediately retreated, not daring to stay here for long.
As the king of Dia, Catheret had apparently seen and had a deep impression of Ace before, so he could recognize Acery's identity at a glance.
"I'm here to convey to you the unanimous decision of all the lichs at this lich assembly."
Ace's words rang out from the room, and his tone was flat, as if he were telling a trivial matter.
"Really?" On the throne, the primordial vampire asked. "I remember that when I learned of the Lich Gathering, I sent an envoy from Finister, but what about the others?"
"He died because he knew a secret that didn't belong to his plane."
Upon hearing the news, Cathery fell silent, and the face of the original vampire did not show any emotional changes.
After coming over for a while, Cathery asked, "Great Mother Earth, do you need me to dismiss the rest of the people around me before I can make a decision?" ”
"No, I don't. This is already a decision made by all the lichs, and it would be better for the others to know about it. ”
As he spoke, Ace looked at North on the side and asked Caterry:
"How much do you know about the prophecies that circulate among the lich?"
Cathery closed her scarlet eyes and seemed to be caught in a memory: "I have heard such prophecies when I read the codex left by the previous king. It is said that when a necromancer with two artifacts arrives at Diya, he will lead all the lichs and conquer the entire world. ”
Thinking of this, Cathery suddenly opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was particularly intense.
"Could it be that this Lich Gathering is about the necromancer who holds two artifacts?"
Based on what Ace had said, Cathery guessed most of what had happened.
In this case, Cathery also seems to understand why the envoy he sent to Finister could not return without any problems, and it is not surprising that this happened if the prophecy came true.
"Yes, the necromancer with two artifacts did come to the territory of Dia, and this time the lich gathering was convened by him on his own initiative."
Acery's words rang out from the field once more, and the information contained in them was enough to shock any necromancer.
After learning that the necromancer with two artifacts had really come to Deya, Cathery thought a lot for a while, whether it was the movements of the necromancer or the lich, it was enough to have a great impact on him, the king of Deya.
Before Catery could think it all through, she heard Aceri continue: "The necromancer with two artifacts came with me to the palace, and now he is standing in front of you. ”
