"I guess that might not work. A voice said suddenly, and Laurie almost jumped - if it weren't for the fact that his spine was already corrupted and shattered, he struggled to turn his head to look at where the sound had come from, and then he saw the black-haired Dragonborn. That is, among those adventurers, the one who was most feared by Laurie compared to the Electorate of Rosada, or the elves, was not only because he ruined the opportunity for the Scaly Pen to resist them at the first lift of his hand, but ...... To put it ironically, the person he saw felt most discordant was probably now. Well, yes, in the dark, in the shadows, there is no light around, soaked in a deep chill.

As he walked to the window, Laurie could spot in the soft cobalt blue light that he was wearing a dark gray cloak, long to his ankles, and a large hood hanging from his shoulders. When he moved, it was silent, not even a faint wind was raised, as if it was sliding on the ice, and when the black-haired spellcaster walked up to Laurie, Laurie couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"You're dying. Laurie heard him say.

"You're a ...... To be blunt. With a hint of hope, Laurie asked, "Is there anything you can do to keep me from falling into the hands of Ciric?"

"It's hard. "If Laurie hadn't used the wrong powers when he was young— Of course, at that time he didn't know what the whispers that always rang in his ears meant, he was exiled by his own country and his father, penniless, and his handsome appearance and demonic blood can sometimes be an advantage, sometimes it can be a disadvantage, he has not been taught orthodoxy, or rather, for most of his life, he lived as a mortal, just like when his father attached himself to his brother, although he also knew that this body could induce the galaxy to bestow magic, but when he was caught, he was still as weak as a damaged cubWhen a warlock tricked Laurie into sacrificing him to a demon, Laurie used the claws of the dark sun to kill the warlock and steal the sin's first gold coin from his tower.

By the time Laurie came to his senses and understood that he was pushing himself into the abyss, it was too late, he was no longer a kind and good person, if he hadn't met his wife occasionally, maybe he would have continued to fall, but for the sake of that lovely girl, he was willing to restrain the cruelty and madness of nature and acquire, but ...... He knew what he was like now, as filthy and pitiful as everyone he had killed, his eyes filled with anger and jealousy, he was unwilling to die, and he was terrified of the moment he was captured by Ciric, but fate told him that today was the day he would pay back.

And because he had made a deal with Ciric, he could not be accepted by the other gods, and even if there were forgiving gods willing to accept him, Shirek could go to the other party's kingdom and claim it justifiably—because he owed Shiric a debt, although if he were just an ordinary thief, then he might still be able to hope that the gods who were willing to contain him would bargain with Ciric— Whether he is good, neutral, or evil, but he has ruined Ciric's plot, and the Prince of the Dark Sun will never let such a daring bug go.

"Maybe it's not out of the question. The black-haired Dragonborn said suddenly, and Laurie's eyes widened slightly, "What's the solution?"

"But at the price, you will usher in eternal annihilation...... In any form, you will not be able to remain in this or any other plane, and you will be completely destroyed without leaving a trace. The black-haired dragonborn lowered his head slightly: "In this way, you can truly escape from the pursuit of the dark sun, and it is impossible for him to retrieve you, even if he uses the Great Wishing Technique, it is impossible." ”

"Great wishing, I think," Laurie said with difficulty, "I probably don't have this honor yet," his eyes sparkle in the darkness, "I can guess what you want to do, I'll be devoured, right, this is the real vanishing." But aren't the only ones who can do this, the Grey Robe and the Lich?" he paused, "No, wait, I think you might know someone like that, you're not that ......" He pondered the words, "Stubborn, right?"

"You're half right. The black-haired Dragonborn straightened up, and he held out a hand, his palm open in front of Laurie, and Laurie saw a blood chalcedony that glittered even in the dim light, a gem that was very popular among grey robes and lichs, especially to store souls for sacrifices, coins, and food.

Laurie was ready, but still cringed at the sight of this gem that shone like blood, and it had nothing to do with emotion or power, but only the natural fear and avoidance of the living for the undead.

"I'd love to see my wife again. Laurie said, and then he gave himself a smile: "Funny, I know my body can't hold on to that moment." My dear friend, it seems that you have more secrets than I have imagined, but whatever the outcome, it will not be worse than being the one who invokes. ”

To Laurie's surprise, he didn't hesitate to throw a spell at him, and he died immediately without pain, and then he smelled a strong smell of dust, and as soon as he sniffed it, his body, hands and feet froze, and the silence around him was suddenly broken, and countless noisy sounds resounded in his ear canal, one of which was so sharp and terrible that it almost made him pierce the eardrum extremely loud, but these were only for a moment, the dust, the wind, the cold, the noise were gone, he opened his eyes, and there was a translucent blood red in front of him, and there was only a vague echo in his ears, as if he had been sunk into the river, and he saw his wifeShe stepped into a plain-looking carriage, dressed in black mourning gowns, mournful but resolute, surrounded by several familiar faces from Laurie, who seemed to have not broken their promises.

"What will happen to them?" he asked.

"You're going to have a son. The spirit of the other world replied to him that it was what the lich had seen, a strong, new life.

Laurie gasped happily and fell asleep. The otherworldly soul lifted this soul gem high and exposed it to the blazing sun.

- You should let me do it, the lich said in the sea of knowledge. He was worried that this matter might be reduced to a good deed on the surface, but in essence, it could still be said to be an extremely evil spell, which is why they didn't tell anyone about the relationship - how would the laws of the underworld be fitted? Perhaps they would be wiped out when the spell took effect, and the lich thought to annoyance that this might be his mentor's attempt, that every undead was always curious about the new, and that this scroll was the instrument for experimentation, and that Laurie or someone else was the platform for experimentation—but his mind was also seduced by the limitations and mysteries of unfamiliar powers and rules. Every lich is a madman, a gambler, you know, the process of their transformation is full of uncertainty, not every gray robe will become a lich, they may die on the spot, maybe the soul does not return to the body, can only exist as a ghost, or maybe, although the soul returns to the body, but does not bring reason, can only become a literal brain-dead lich, and the latter two, destined to exist in this plane in a more bleak and terrible situation, if no one disturbs, this tragic drama may continue for hundreds of years。

So although he was against it, it was not very fierce, like now. As it turned out, the law was jealously fond of the little one, and they were still unharmed.

What do you want us to do?, the lich asked in his mind.

The soul of the other world held up the gem to the sun, and whispered the incantation in his mouth, because the sun was so hot, his eyes couldn't help but cry, but these did not affect his fingers and the tip of his tongue, he accurately recited a long incantation like a priest's prayer, and then pinched the gem with a strong finger, and crushed the gem and the soul inside, the gem turned into fine powder in the sun, and was carried away by the stirring east wind, forming a gorgeous and magnificent band of light.

Laurie is dead, and his soul is destroyed with the gem that imprisoned him, and no one and no god can find him.

The lich could almost feel the heavy sorrow in the heart of the other soul, and the apologies that could not be forgotten, and regret, but there was not much remorse in it, and the former undead vaguely felt that something was wrong, although it was only a little bit of a star, but all the trajectories that got out of control began with a small bump - although the lich kept telling the other party that he was a thief, and the other party had always maintained an apologetic and uneasy attitude towards him, which made the latter take a concessionary and tolerant attitude towards the evil nature of the lich in many ways- This allows the lich to use it quite freely, yes, yes, "use" it, a good and innocent soul may be able to disguise its sins better than this living body flowing with pure positive energy, and it is also true - the lich is worried that humanity will always change, not only in this plane, but also in another, and if another soul changes, then he will lose his last barrier. The Elven Ranger, now the King of the Jungle, Kerriben, and Afra, who is obsessed with "him", and some other important pawns, if they find that not only him, but another soul has also been twisted and defiled, then they will only stick to their original ideas, of course, according to the law, he should atone for all his sins and die as a sinless mortal.

The Lich did not want such a seemingly happy ending at all, and if possible, he would rather be destroyed as a Lich than die in such a humble and cowardly manner.

- What are we, what are we going to do?, just as the lich was meditating, the otherworldly spirit suddenly asked, almost startling him.

- What?

- I mean, the soul of the other world calmly asked, you just said, 'What exactly do you want us to do?'?

I didn't say anything—the lich was almost about to reply, but the vigilance of an undead spellcaster still served as a deed of it, and it dawned on him that the power of the other soul had obviously increased, so that what was on the mind of a former outsider was like shouting in his ear, and what he was thinking when he let his guard down, could be heard by the other party. This made his plans more uncertain, and although he had expected it, he could not help but feel worried, and he hoped that the other party would be as worried and in a trance as before, instead of being as clear and responsive as he was now—it seemed to have freed himself from the shackles given to him by another plane, when he was not aware of it...... When is the abyss down!?

"We won. A knight said.

"An unfortunate victory. Tara's new king said, looking around at everything around him. Although not yet crowned, almost no one has any objections to it, the war lasted for three months, although it was short-lived, but the result was that Tara was devastated, and after quelling the rebellion of the Queen Mother and her allies, they also had to face foreign enemies, fortunately with the priests of the good gods such as Rosada, Tyre, and Ilmot, and several other countries who also believed in them either stood by or sent reinforcements, the number of reinforcements combined was less than a thousand, but it was enough to tilt the tide of the battle, not to mention the support of the white robes, the paladins, and several powerful spellcasters, especially the black-haired warlock。

And the person who stood out in this war was also not expected, he was Drew, the lord who did not respond to Laurie, even when Laurie was still in Tara, they could be said to be close friends - people thought he was too cold and ruthless, or a despicable villain, but his performance in the war could almost wash away a stigma. He is certainly not above board, but a man of integrity may drag on this war for three years instead of three.

"Let's go back. Drew said, his beard covered in soot and tired, and an even more ill-fated fate awaited Tara.
