455. Lich
"Jahira, didn't you say that Amm is a very prosperous commercial city?"
Abu and Jahira came from the Hill of the Wind Spear to Am, the westernmost port city in the middle of the continent of Faeron, where the goddess of wealth Wokin once descended the pearl of the continent.
Outside the city gate area, what I saw was a clear sky, and when the scorching sun was overhead, the whole city was covered by a layer of gray mist and shadows, revealing an evil atmosphere.
In the city, in the silence, there was a faint mournful shout.
What else do you say about the pearl, it's just a ghost.
Abu, who had just had it, twitched the corner of his eyes and asked Jahira, who was dressed in red and dressed like a red envelope next to him.
Although Jahira returned the treasure of the old red dragon Faircrag in the Wind Spear Hill, didn't the old red dragon give up his life and money, and Abu didn't cheapen him, and drew blood for him to almost die of exhaustion, and also took away the molt of the old red dragon's last growth, from prime to old age.
Then there is Jahira's "Flame Red Dragon Scale Armor Set", helmet, breastplate, shoulder pads, handguards, wrist guards, belt, leggings, boots, cloak, a nine-piece set is +5 defense level, and it also comes with a set effect, providing fire immunity, acceleration, dragon power weakened version of the shock aura, and a daily red dragon half-dragon change, which allows the wearer to get the attribute value bonus (strength, constitution, charm) of the "half-dragon template", and gain the ability to breathe fire once a day.
This set of god costumes, not to mention that it is hard to find, is simply that even the top nobles, or the mages who have the mage tower, will be collected as heirlooms, so that Jahira is reluctant to take off the bath for the past two days, and she really can't wait to grow it directly on her body.
Coupled with the +10 artifact hammer, Jahira can't wait to find Irenikas right away and fight him for 300 rounds.
"I don't know why this happened, but something must have happened, and I suspect it has something to do with Potty!" Jahira's expression was very solemn.
"It should be, think about it, didn't the elves say before that their artifact is a protective enchantment type, which can provide defense for the entire city? Now this city is also shrouded in enchantment, and ordinary people can't enter it, and they will only fall into the fog trap of enchantment. ”
"Potty has mastered the use of Ryan's magic lamp!? So what do we do? Jahira was also used to asking Abu when he was in trouble.
"Brute-force cracking or sneaking in, making a big fuss or sneaking in?" Abu is also used to letting Jahira make a choice, and he has the feeling of running a group as a DM (dungeonmaster, which means similar to GM).
"Infiltration? Let's take a look at what's going on in the city? ”
"Let's go...... Hey? Abu raised his hand as he spoke, and a faint blue light enveloped the two of them, but suddenly he let out a strange sigh.
"Where is this?"
Jahira was used to seeing a flower in front of her and changing circumstances, but the gloomy catacombs she saw were different from the interior of the city gate area.
"This is a special space built inside the enchantment, and someone actually used the power of the enchantment, and in turn modified the enchantment, and divided a small enchantment inside the enchantment, this is a matryoshka master, well, it is a master of space."
"Could it be a masked mage? After all, it is not surprising that the Masked Mage Council, especially the Supreme Council of Six, the six legendary mages, has such a capable person, or maybe ......"
"What, what did you think of?" Seeing Jahira's uncertain hesitation, Abu asked curiously.
"We once heard a legend in the city gate area, there was once an evil necromancer in the city gate area, who built his undead laboratory underground, and the former Knights of the Heart of Justice and the Temple of Los Sanda worked together to defeat without success, although they were finally eradicated by the masked mage council, but it seems that the mage's soul has not died, and it is still tied to his former laboratory, and every night, he will wake up and take away every soul of Amm who died because of his sins."
"You also doubt that the necromancer is not dead? Any definite clues? ”
"When did we just escape from the dungeon of Irenikas, and we could only sleep in the cemetery or the cheapest hotel in the city gate area or the slum area, the hotel in the city gate area does seem to have some problems, there was once a secret door that exuded an evil atmosphere, but we didn't have thieves at that time, and we were not strong enough, and we had people and equipment, and I thought that when we came back from the dark area, we would come to the city gate area to explore."
Jahira said, a wistful sigh from the past.
This is a knot in my heart that I have experienced too many things and too many things to let go, and it is already a dead button, and it is difficult to completely untie it.
"A lich, perhaps?" Abu thought about it, and his eyes lit up, and he could see a new powerful monster again.
“…… It's possible, this is a city ruled by mages, hundreds of years of history, mages transformed into undead lichs, really not too many, even if the conversion success rate is so low, we have been in the dock area and the bridge area, one after another encountered the lich, it was really a battle that I don't want to remember, the lich is really terrible. ”
Unlike the Lich and Lich King of the World of Warcraft that Abu has visited, a group of cowards who dare not speak out (laughs), the Lich of the High Dungeons of Dragons and Dragons is not a "popular" profession in the Scourge of the Dead, but a very difficult, life-threatening, evil ritual of transforming the undead that only high-level mages can master.
When a high-level mage reaches the end of his life, but does not want to leave the world, he will choose to transform into an undead creature, create a life box, entrust his or her soul, and drink poison, puncture the heart, and complete the transformation ritual spell at the last moment of this life, and then do a strong will, carry the damage and memory loss problems when the soul is transferred to the life box, and survive all this, in order to transform into a lich.
Transformed into a lich, you also have to face the problem of declining professional level, loss of spells, and loss of feelings before death, and most of your desires, leaving only the pursuit of spells and knowledge.
The advantage is that the stay time on the main material plane can be extended indefinitely, and the mage level can be slowly restored, and it is difficult to be completely killed, and the Lich's flesh must be destroyed, and the Lich's elaborate, often artifact-like sturdy life box.
"Break... Enter... He who. ”
Jahira was recalling how terrifying it was for the lich, a perverted legendary spellcaster that had been piled up for endless time, when she suddenly heard a low, hoarse voice that was as rotten as a wind shrub.
"Another ignorant intruder who dares to disturb my research, you must die!"
"Oops, the temper is really not small, this is just waking up, getting up angry?"
