Chapter 290: The Great Lord's Younger Brother

"How embarrassing is this...... Lin Li muttered falsely, but he did not hesitate to stain a drop of blood, at this time, he didn't even think about it, would this be a trap, because it was unnecessary, hundreds of thousands of various undead creatures in the hall, plus a high-level vampire of at least eighteen levels, wanted to destroy himself without any effort, why risk his freedom, what kind of blood oath trap.

The blood on the fingertips was hot, Lin Li felt the temperature from his fingertips, and his heart was certain, yes, this is indeed a real blood oath, vampires are undead creatures, blood is always cold, only when they take a blood oath, that drop of blood containing the fire of the soul will be hot, just like this drop that is now condensed on their fingertips...... The hot blood smeared on his forehead, as if a fire was burning, and before Lin Li came back to his senses, countless memory fragments suddenly turned into a torrent, and suddenly poured into Lin Li's mind, all kinds of sounds and pictures were mixed together, the old and the new and the old and each other devouring each other tore each other, so fierce that it was like a cruel war, and in this devouring and tearing, some originally vague sounds and pictures gradually became clear, just like a dusty picture scroll, one by one in front of him, Lin Li knew, This is the soul fire of a high-level vampire, from the day it became an undead creature, until the moment it sacrificed the soul fire and formed a blood oath, all the memories were contained in this drop of hot blood...... "Hu ......" completely fused these countless memory fragments, Lin Li finally let out a long breath, his eyes swept over the countless undead creatures in the hall one by one, at this time, there was no trace of violence and killing on them, some were just obedient and respectful, Lin Li could even feel it, With just one order from themselves, they can make them do anything for themselves, and in the end, a satisfied gaze fell on the high-level vampires.

"Can you tell me the origin of this mausoleum, Nophile?"

"Nophil" is the name of this high-level vampire, from the trivial fragments of memory, Lin Li not only knows his origin, but also knows that he has half human blood, and half High Elf blood, he was born in the legendary Dark Ages, and before he became an undead creature, he was even the personal guard of a High Elf noble.

"Do as you are told, my master......" Nophile fell to his knees on one knee, his voice full of obedience and respect.

The low and hoarse voice brought the time back to 1,200 years ago, at that time, the High Elves were still the masters of the earth, and Osric also ruled the Kingdom of Fran, but this kind of domination and domination has already had a bit of a stormy taste, the human army destroyed the six sky cities, and the last force that the High Elves relied on was finally lost, and the high elf nobles began to panic, including the one that Nophile was loyal to.

According to Nophil, the High Elf nobleman's name was Giovanni, and before the outbreak of the war, he once ruled a large area north of the Breezy Plains, but the war that followed made him lose everything he had, so he had to flee to Fran and ask his half-brother Osric for protection, but unfortunately, it was Osric's old age, and the once brilliant lord was putting all his energy into the construction of the mausoleum.

Perhaps because he understood his situation, or perhaps because he was inspired by Osric, Giovanni found Osric after a night of thinking and asked him to give him the land of Demon Slayer Valley.

Osric did not refuse, and that afternoon, he withdrew the magic legion stationed in the Demon Slayer Valley.

Since then, Giovanni has lived in the Valley of the Demon Slayers, where he not only built his own mage tower, but also sent countless slaves to dig a real underground palace for himself.

Then, he began to study necromancy...... Among the High Elves, necromantic magic has always been synonymous with taboo, and the High Elves who love life feel that necromancy is a desecration of life, and in that era, a High Elf who dared to learn undead magic was to be burned to death as a betrayer.

So, Giovanni's research into necromancy has always been a secret, and almost no one knows about it except for his close guard, Nophile, including his older half-brother Osric.

Giovanni's research lasted for almost ten years, time passed day by day, the human army conquered more places, the border of the Kingdom of France has heard a loud trumpet, and the rule of this land, Osric, is also weakening day by day, everyone knows that the time of the Great Lord is running out...... In the autumn of that year, the human army finally invaded the plains of the breeze, and the great lord Osric finally came to the end of his life, the flames of war burned from the plains of the breezes all the way to Orana, and the two sons of Osric spent almost every day fighting for dominance and fear of the human army, but at this time, Giovanni did something that no one expected - he turned himself into an undead creature.

A lich, to be exact.

Giovanni buried his soul in the life box and gained eternal life in another way.

After turning himself into a lich, Giovanni did not try to resist the human army, but at great speed, transferred everything he owned to the underground palace, and on the day of completion, Giovanni killed all the slaves with necromancy and turned them into his most loyal servants.

Nofila, on the other hand, became Giovanni's right-hand man in ruling the Legion of the Dead because of his loyalty—he became a high-ranking vampire with memories and intelligence.

"And now, where is Giovanni?" When Lin Li heard this, he couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.

"Master Giovanni is dead, and the imprint of his soul was gone 1,200 years ago, the day he retreated into the underground palace......" Nofeller's voice was still full of obedience and respect, but his expression was more or less complicated when he mentioned his former master.

"Dead?" Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this is a little too fast, right? Why did the lich who had just become immortal suddenly die? Lin Li clearly remembered that Anduin once told him that every lich has a near-eternal life, and even if he is killed, he can be resurrected by the soul brand in the life box, even if this Giovanni has just become a lich, he is not so bad that he hangs up inexplicably, right?

"Yes......"

Nofiler nodded, still maintaining a kneeling position, it turned out that when Giovanni retreated into the underground palace with the army of the undead, he accidentally found an altar in the center of the palace, this altar was actually discovered by slaves when the underground palace was being built, but most of those efforts were just civilians captured from various races, and they didn't know what this altar meant.

Only Giovanni knows...... Almost the moment he stepped into the underground palace, Giovanni felt a powerful divine power, and this divine power came from the altar in the center of the underground palace, for Giovanni who had just transformed into a lich, this was undoubtedly a big joke, an underground palace prepared for undead creatures, but there was an incomparably powerful divine power, what is the difference between this and a bonfire burning under a fish tank?

Maybe it was because he was too confident in himself, maybe it was to prevent future troubles, anyway, the first time he found this altar, Giovanni made a decision, he wanted to go deep into the inside of the altar to see, Nofiler remembered that Giovanni went in alone, without any retinue, including the most trusted himself.

And the accident happened at this time...... An hour after Giovanni went deep into the altar, Nophile suddenly heard a scream, and then saw that Giovanni, who was burning all over his body, rushed out of the altar, until today, Nophile still remembers the horror of that flame, just like the legendary Last Judgment, even the slightest flame will bring a devastating blow to the undead creatures, just at the moment when Giovanni rushed out of the altar, countless undead creatures have been turned into ashes, if it weren't for Nophile seeing the opportunity quickly, immediately turned into a bat and flew away, I'm afraid I can't kneel there and talk to Lin Li now...... At the beginning, Nofila, like Lin Li, thought that Giovanni, who had become a lich, could survive the divine fire, but soon he realized that he had guessed wrong, because he could clearly feel that the divine fire on Giovanni's body was not only burning his body, but also burning his soul, and even the little soul brand hidden in the life box could not be spared.

It's a pity that when Nofila realized this, the last bit of Giovanni's soul imprint was completely burned out...... So much so that no one knows what Giovanni encountered under the altar, and no one knows what those flames that are comparable to the Last Judgment are, Nofile only knows that Giovanni left a sentence to himself before he died: "Twelve hundred years later, the Immortal King will open the door that has been sealed for a long time, Nophil, you must obey him and follow him......"

So, Nofile waited in the underground palace for 1,200 years, until the moment Lin Li pushed open the door of the mausoleum...... "......" Lin Li touched his nose and didn't say anything, but secretly cursed in his heart, damn, do you want to be so evil?
