Chapter 40: Auleta the Keeper of Secrets
This bone shelf...... Actually have a fairy friend?
Roland raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You know, all goblins are Yan Kong.
They like to be around people who are beautiful in appearance and pure in heart, in short, like fairies. On the contrary, if the words and actions are too rough and savage, they will even directly scare away the elves.
…… Perhaps Oletta was a beautiful man before he became a lich, but now that he was only a withered skeleton, he was enough to scare a crying child without any disguise.
But that's not really the problem --
Noticing Roland's gaze, Oleta just shrugged helplessly.
"Well, Your Majesty...... I know it's not normal. But please believe that Seruna's eyes are normal. ”
"I know."
Roland nodded gently: "I understand." Aging has its own beauty. Birth, old age, sickness and death, every stage of life has its own touching features. ”
Oleta only sighed.
“…… If it is a natural aging appearance, it has its own charm. ”
"Don't be inferior, Oletta. All things are born of dust, and to dust are to them. ”
Hearing Roland's words, the gray-white flames in Oletta's eyes jumped suddenly.
However, Roland understood that he was not being touched, but was beginning to be wary of himself.
But Roland was unfazed.
Because he knew in his heart that as long as Oleta figured out what he was trying to do, he would never go against him.
Although this lich with only one skeleton left is not famous, his background is not simple.
If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be the original Arthur -
Whether it is Anros, or later Arthur, they are all Oleta's descendants. He was the former Keeper of Secrets, the heir to Merlin's Mandate.
In addition, he has an even more resounding name, which is the Gate of the Scourge.
Merlin gave him the task of freeing Elukado, who had been sealed by Tyre.
Oleta became an undead not because he wanted to live forever, but because he thought he had to enter Elcatel in order to find a way to break the seal on Elukado.
In order to avoid suspicion, he must give up his status as the heir of the Fifth Tower, come here as a wizard who thirsts for immortality, undergo the transformation of the undead, and become a member of the new class of undead.
This actually makes quite sense. At that time, the White Tower was far less powerful than it is now, and the persecution of wizards by the gods lasted for three hundred years, and many wizards who were not very determined left the White Tower in search of a safe and secure life.
However, even if they don't have such thoughts themselves, once they are caught, there is still a possibility that the wizards of the White Tower will be exposed. At that time, the White Pagoda did not have the same relaxed research environment as the White Pagoda of today. They don't even have a piece of land.
The reason why they call themselves White Tower Wizards is only because they live on a white tower that can be moved at any time, and once their location is revealed, they will immediately activate a teleportation array to shift positions.
That white tower is now the fifth tower of Merlin. One of the duties of the Secret Keeper is to directly teleport the White Tower after discovering that his location is exposed, regardless of whether there are any colleagues who have just left the White Tower and have not returned. It can be said that those wizards who can't catch up with the White Tower teleportation because of unexpected events will basically not be able to find it back in this life.
With such a noble identity, it is very difficult for Oleta to fake her betrayal. Because he knew so many secrets, there was no way that the White Tower would let him go.
So, in order to have a chance to enter Elcat, in the end, Anvilia really sent a gold-level sword wizard to hunt him down.
You know, Oleta was still very young at that time. Not only is he lacking combat experience, but his own level of witchcraft is only about the silver level at best. With the full strength of the great wizard who did not know the truth, Oleta used all her best to finally drag her body with only half her life left into Elcat.
At that time, his left lung was cut in half, the wound on his right arm was deep and bone-seeing, and there were more than 20 large and small fractures all over his body, and his abdomen was directly cut horizontally, and his liver was ruptured.
The dying Oleta was discovered by a Ghost Overseer. The Soul Overseer had intended to make him a ghost, but when he happened to recognize his identity, he didn't dare to delay, instead choosing to immediately ask his superior, Bloodthroat Countess Chrissy, for advice.
It can only be said that Oleta should not be killed, and he happened to meet the relatively enlightened undead of the new royal faction, so he was able to leave his life and be transformed into an undead. Even if the Soul Overseer ignored him, he would die quickly.
However, even though Oleta was transformed into an undead, he still refused to use alchemy products such as living spines and blood worms to replace his body like ordinary undead, maintaining the vitality of his body and the beauty of his appearance. Everyone thought that his dignity as a sorcerer did not allow him to use the research and development of an alchemist who was his sworn enemy, but only he knew that it was his will as a human who did not allow him to maintain his hypocrisy with this medicine made from his own kind.
He used his bones to remind himself that you are not an undead, but you are no longer human.
But by mistake, because of Oleta's own influence in the White Tower, many wizards followed him into Elcater and imitated his behavior, not to maintain his body that had collapsed due to negative energy, but to carry out his own research wholeheartedly.
So, after hundreds of years, these dark wizards, who called themselves lichs, formed a considerable force in the White Tower. As the first lich, Oletta's status has surpassed that of the Bloodthroat Countess and has become a pivotal presence in the new royal faction.
In the original plot line, Elukado first met Oleta after coming to Elcat. The main quest of the first chapter of the Elcatel chapter begins with the Lich King, who has been playing Infernal Affairs for hundreds of years - the infighting between the undead, the crusade between the forces, the White Tower of the old era, the birth of the Lich, and the emotions that have been entangled for hundreds of years, fully reveal this thousand-year-old city of decay.
There is no doubt that this cunning fellow is certainly not as decadent and gentle as he appears.
As the saying goes, to be old and not die is to be a thief. As one of the only seven people to have access to the outside world, if he was really just a simple scholar, he would have been crushed by the factional struggle in Elcatri's eyes.
In that case, the goblins who can stay with him will definitely not be easy.
The real problem isn't that Oleta actually has a goblin friend; The real question is, why did Roland never know about the existence of a goblin who could sit on Oletta's shoulders so big or small? It's like something out of thin air.
…… No, Seruna?
Roland frowned slightly.
Is it an illusion...... Roland felt as if he had heard the name from somewhere. (To be continued.) )
