Chapter 2: The Vanishing Heart
"Me? Am I not the benefactor you call a benefactor? ”
The lich tried to take advantage of the loopholes in the old man's language, and slowly came up with information that was useful to him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I can't believe that a human being can live well without a heart, and that there is such pure soul energy."
The old man replied with a smile, but the essence in his eyes kept flickering.
The lich was silent, and just woke up to meet the old man who could not let him observe the changes in his body, and now after the old man's reminder, he found out. Yes, the heart of this body is gone, but it still has infinite vitality. And what supports the actions of this body is his own soul power, in a sense, he is now a half-undead.
Now the lich finally understands what difference there is between that damn eye that took his heart, and now he is like the last universe. All his efforts were in vain, and the endless anger burned the lich's calm brain.
"I thought, we can form a deal, don't we? Dear No. 4444 Novice Village Chief. ”
The lich said calmly, and he found that the old guy in front of him was cursed by the soul of the Banshee King, and it was also cursed with the sacrifice of life. This caused his soul to be constantly eroded, and his life that had been 10,000 years old became what it is now. As a soul master, the lich has a way to remove this curse, but in exchange he has to pay a price.
"Oh... You see it, so tell me what you want? Dear Mr. Lich. ”
A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, he knew very well that the creature that could fuse with the body so perfectly had no other creature than the lich who claimed to be the soul master, even those demons of hell, those greedy beasts did not care about the body. And his name is Wu Yao, which is not a good name for a human being.
"What can you give me, the restoration of the soul? Look at your own soul and know it's impossible. ”
"No... No, no, I can give you what you want most, but tell me that the way you are now probably won't be able to repair my soul, right? ”
The lich was silent, yes, he didn't have the power to remove the curse of the Banshee King. But the lich was sure he would gamble, because if the old guy didn't remove the curse, he had ten years left to completely erode his soul.
"Give me two years to repair my soul, and I'll come back to help you get rid of this damn curse, what do you think of this deal?"
The old man was silent for a while, his eyes constantly spinning, and he pondered for a while.
"Okay, Mr. Lich, I have to say that you can live like a human in your current appearance. But I'm afraid you can't escape the perception of the strong, how do you repair your soul? ”
The lich was silent again, and he clearly sensed that the old man in front of him was a difficult opponent. He was fully aware of his weaknesses, and the lich didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose, but there seemed to be nothing he could do about it right now.
"I can give you an artifact, it can shield the perception of the strong, and it can also enhance your strength. But the price is that you only have a year, how about Mr. Lich. ”
The old man's tone was calm, but the lich still felt anxious from the fluctuations of his soul. It seems that he did not deceive himself, and the old fellow has his own secrets, and the lich decided to promise him, and there is no reason not to do so now.
"I promise you, it's time to talk about what to give me, I'm a little curious about what you can give me."
A smile flashed on the old man's wrinkled face, he was not afraid that the lich would deceive him, for the strong did not need such a despicable means of deception, and of course some of the devils in hell were not among them.
"A heart, a heart that is really alive, as long as you put it on. You're a complete human being, and there's a complete law in that heart. With it, it's not impossible to become a god, isn't it perfect? ”
The lich doesn't believe the old man's words, if something so perfect would you leave it to someone else? The answer is yes, so there must be something wrong.
"But this heart is an artifact of the Church of Light, and of course it's not a very difficult thing for you, Mr. Lich."
If it weren't for a good upbringing, the lich would have almost scolded. You send a lich to the Church of the Light, and have them crucify themselves and be burned alive by the Light by the Inquisition? No kidding.
"Oh... By the way, don't try to grab it, there's a scary guy guarding that thing, and Mr. Lich, you are a human now, do you understand? ”
If it were possible, the lich would definitely drain the soul of the old guy in front of him and tell him what the pain from the depths of the soul is, he has completely designed everything, and if he adds the artifact he gave, he can indeed disguise himself as a human. Then enter the Church of the Holy Light and rely on his exploits to get the heart.
"I guess it's a perfect deal, isn't it, sir."
The lich said as he struggled to suppress his anger.
"That's right, Mr. Lich. You are now a benefactor, and I have to say that you are very lucky, and this kind of body has great benefits. But I'll have to tell you later. ”
The old man went out for a while, and handed the lich a very quaint mask, which seemed to be quite old, judging by the dust accumulated on it.
"That's what I'm going to give you, don't underestimate him, it's a perfect work, I'm sure you'll like it."
The old man found a chair from the side and sat down, and began to explain the matter of the benefactor slowly.
"As for the Divine Benerans, they are otherworldly people summoned from another world by the gods and the Tree of Origin, and they are endowed with God-given powers to grow quickly. However, this kind of growth is limited, it is difficult for them to comprehend the law and step into the realm of gods, which is also what those gods need, and they will not let a group of mortals obtain the rights of gods. ”
"Every time the benefactor kills some creatures, he will get the soul feedback of the creatures, so as to enhance his strength, but the disadvantage is that the accumulated soul feedback will create a solid soul wall, preventing them from comprehending the existence of the law."
"And these things seem to be called upgrades by them, and of course there are some things called attributes, which I can't understand. And they can be resurrected again after they die, because the source of the soul is not here, but only at some cost. ”
"That's all I know, and the rest you don't know until you meet the Charismatics. Since I have opened up a soul barrier here, there are no charismatics here, so you have to go to the main city after level 10 to see it. But these gods are really perfect cannon fodder, and those gods are really smart. ”
The old man praised him, but his tone revealed endless mockery.
"Alright, Mr. Lich, you can hit your way now. Go to the east side of the village, where there is a cave with a cute little guy waiting for you. ”
"Ding, accept the task."
"The Mutation of the Cave on the East Side of the Village"
Grade: Silver
Mission Description: Go to the cave on the east side of the village to investigate the changes inside, and come back after the investigation to report to the novice village chief of No. 4444.
The old man stood up, opened the door for the lich, and motioned for him to go.
The lich pondered the old man's words, and found that the world was not simple, as if an invisible hand was pushing forward. There was no way to resist now but to follow the old man's course, and the lich hated the damn feeling that his fate was in someone else's hands.
When the lich left the old man's house, he found that it was a very ordinary village around him, and there was no strong man like the old man, so he decided to follow the route indicated by the old man first.
