After passing through the portal, Marin was already prepared for the world behind the portal, but he was still frightened by the desolate world - there were no plants, only bare hills, and the castle that Ayers spoke of looked like it had fallen into disrepair for hundreds of years.

"It's a dead world." Old Hoffman looked at the world in front of him, smiled and nodded: "It's really suitable for the world where I sleep forever." ”

Hello, Dear Mr. Hoffmann.

Ayres greeted him, and he gave a mage salute to old Hoffman.

I am amazed that you have been able to maintain your sanity until now, and I am in awe of your will.

"You are Ayres, the Bone Lich that my apprentice Marin called it." Old Hoffman glanced at Ayers and smiled and held out his hand.

Ayres didn't stretch out his hand, but very humbly bowed his head and took two steps back.

Old Hoffman didn't care, he withdrew his hand: "Ayles, where is the ceremony taking place." ”

Right in the middle of the castle, the Anonymous Paladin and a sadistic Chosen Champion have laid everything out for you.

"It's grand." Hoffman Sr. nodded, then motioned for Colin to help him forward.

Marin didn't keep up, because he didn't need to be reminded to understand that the next road was no longer something he could follow.

Old Hoffman has only one successor to all these secret keepers, and Old Hoffman chose Colin with his own considerations, and Marin ...... In fact, I don't want to be bothered by the daily life of the orphanage.

Of course, money is not a problem, Colin doesn't want to be the director of the orphanage, or there is no problem with being the director of the nursery, his junior brother has no time, so he can only manage enough money.

You are a mentor, I really can't reach me at my peak.

Ayers walked over to Marin and said.

"What do you mean?" Marin asked, then pointed to himself under the idiot's idiotic gaze, "Look at how old I am." ”

Ayres reached out and patted his skull.

Your age is really too disproportionate to your strength, let me say this, Your Excellency Marin, this mentor of yours, if his strength was higher than mine in his prime, I would not dare to go to war with him at all.

"I really don't know about this, I just heard that this mentor of mine was very badly injured and ended up eating and dying at Fort Carter as a bishop." Marin said that he was not clear - seriously, it was true that he was waiting for death to eat, but when it came to the strength of his mentor, Marin felt that Ayres would not be wrong.

After all, the previous inheritance of this sect is that the next generation directly inherits the strength of the previous generation, and the better the relationship between the two sides, the greater the power that the former can obtain.

Otherwise, where did his mentor come from back then, he just inherited the name of the Secret Keeper, and he tore his own senior brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly thought of a question - this time, Colin obviously failed to inherit his strength, what should he do if his senior brothers and sisters came over.

Ah, those legendary paladins and big demons are here, and there are me and you, a few cubs still have something to be afraid of.

Ayres didn't share Marlin's concerns at all.

"By the way, how could a paladin get involved with the Great Demon." Marin thought about this question again - with the relationship between the Anonymous Paladin and the evil god, they should have fought a long time ago: "They didn't divide life and death? ”

Just check it out.

Ayers rolled his eyes at this—his soul fire rolled over his sockets, revealing only dark holes.

An action that suited his mood at the moment.

So Marin came here, and as soon as he entered Ayers' castle, he found that there was a huge sense of emptiness in the center of this small castle.

Well, this is the strength that a legendary mage should have.

Ayers finished introducing Marin in a proud tone, and Marlin noticed a skull rolling in front of them.

Then a white servant came running, and he picked up his head, and instead of pressing it to his neck, he took it and ran off into the distance.

Look.

Ayers let out a long sigh.

Marin followed the servant's stumbling steps and looked into the distance, just in time to see several of his own kindreds and a white-bearded dwarf there, who were holding sticks, and waited until the White-Bone Servant had placed his head on the small mound in front of them, and one of the square ears had stepped forward, and he swung the stick, knocking the skull away.

This time, the skull flew out of the castle.

His people and the dwarf began to pay for it.

Marin didn't know what to say, and he reached out and patted Ayers on the shoulder.

Don't cry, isn't it just a melee combination of a paladin and a great demon, they won't jump over and hit you.

Marin's arrival brought the paladins and the sadistic archdemon to a halt to their game.

They came over to say hello to Marin, and the dwarf was particularly interesting, and he told Marin about his experience - this guy is called Steelheart Cast Iron, he is from the same world as the steppe elf, but he is more unlucky, and when he took the risk, he was banished and ran to a world that was rebelling against Chaos, where he mixed well, but the strength of the Dreadnox Legion grew, and eventually, After hacking another Archdemon to death, the guy chose to convert himself to save all the survivors in the last sanctuary he was protecting.

The Sadistic Legion was originally ready to refuse, but the Sadist himself said that he lacked such a Chosen Champion, so after the deal was completed, this dwarf became a standard Chosen Champion.

Unlike the indiscriminate Chaos, his legions do not kill indiscriminately, do not attack unarmed innocents, and prefer to fight against indiscriminate legions who also believe in abusiveness.

If he were to change to an evil god, he would have died a long time ago.

But fear and abuse are different, this favorite is war, it doesn't matter who fights with whom, it's important to fight, and Heart of Steel can fight and win, so he is naturally the popular God's Chosen Champion.

He came here this time because of the relationship between Anonymous and Sadomasochism, who had already heard of Hoffman's name and expressed a certain interest in him, which made Marin have to admit that his old mentor was really a macho man who cut down the street.

"I've heard of you, child, if the world can't get mixed up in the future, come to me, let's go and tear the intestines of those indiscriminate wastes out of their eyes, and then hang their owners with it!"

As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, he was driven away by the steppe elves, and one of the steppe elf girls smiled at Marin: "Don't listen to his nonsense, you kid, it's better to believe in the good way." ”

Marin smiled and nodded.

How is it titanium again.

………………

The ceremony would take place in half an hour, which was the conclusion of the paladins after examining the old Hoffman, who was close to collapsing, but still had a clear will, which made the paladins show great respect for the old man.

Marin's comments on Ayers were also a point higher - what he didn't understand as an apprentice, his white bone lich was very clear, and it could only be said that he really had a survival instinct.

Marin also asked the Paladins about the steps of their mentor ritual.

A somewhat sad answer was given - the seal stone was fully integrated with the old Hoffman's body, and the seal would expire after the old Hoffman's death, and the evil god would be resurrected on his body before they could defeat him.

They were ready for anything, and another team of legendary paladins as reinforcements would be in fifteen minutes later.

When the time comes, Ayres will clear the field, and he himself will stay away from the ceremony site - the paladins and undead who will come from behind will not deal with it much.

Marin nodded, and walked over to old Hoffman.

"Is it Marlin?" Old Hoffman blinked his godless eyes.

"It's me, your eyes ......," Marin asked, looking at the old man.

"I can't see it at first......" the old man said, bowing his head: "Amm Lenson...... My apprentice, I think he will definitely bring his brothers and sisters to witness my funeral......"

The old man was whispering, and he sighed deeply: "Marin, promise me to purify him...... Colin can't inherit my power, he won't be that kid's opponent, and you can. ”

Marin nodded: "Leave it to me." ”

"So...... Please. Hoffman Sr. said.
