Chapter 685: Mission (2)
Those foods used to taste like chewing wax to the souls of the other world, but now they are like a fish in the throat. "You mean this invitation?" www.biquge.info the black-haired Dragonborn put down his spoon, "Why do you think thatβquite the opposite, I think I have to thank you." β
"But you don't want to take it, do you?" Kerry asked gently, "what makes you ...... Loathing yourself?"
The soul of the other world moved his lips slightly, but he still didn't say anything, what should he say? Kerry couldn't have been ignorant of his true identity and deeds, no, perhaps it was because he did, that the noble, gentle elf had decided to let him join the team out of deep pity, and he had no objections from everyone (including the black-haired dragonborn himself) and resolutely placed him by his side again for only one reason, and that was that the task they were about to accomplish, if successful, would be a great and rare feat.
As described before, even in this plane, the Lich of Atonement is the first of the kind, he has no experience to draw from, and he has no kind of people to learn from, what is the way to atone, is it simply for good, or does it add to the elimination of evil? And when and to what extent does he need to atone for his previous crimes? No one knows, whenever he thinks of this, Kerry will tremble from the bottom of his heart, this is the price, when the living give up their innate rights and obligations, and throw life as toys and tools at will, it is doomed that they will use countless times more pain and regret to wash their bones and souls, but among them, some of them have no way out, and some are willing to do so.
But now that Cremar has been given a chance to be redeemed, Kerry will not give up, but the road after the black-haired dragonborn will obviously become more difficult - thinking of this, Kerry will not blame him for concealing it at the beginning, he still remembers that when he first met Cremar, he was still so clumsy and weak, even without Ingway's reminder or Perrante's hint, Kerry could have guessed that this little guy chose Grey Ridge just to avoid possible suspicion and capture- He became a lich when he was young, and when the black-haired Dragonborn swayed outside in the form of a skeleton of bones, no one would associate him with Cremar, but when he had to wander around in his old face and shape, once he was recognized by those who had seen him, the consequences could be imagined on his knees, and the bad thing was that when he was still a living being, the people who had seen him were dragonborn, dragons, and lichs, and they would not complete the replacement of generations in a hundred or two years like mortals, and even if there were portraits, there were a few people who could accurately identify a person they had never seen by virtue of the portraits, unless they were deliberately framing themγ
But Carey didn't believe that Cremar's performance in Grey Ridge was all false, even if there was a part of the lie, but as Kerry Ben and his father, his elders thought, there was also a shining essence in it, they were like crystals of water hidden deep in the gray and black rocks, in dark places, they were dull and inconspicuous, but in the sun, they were as bright as stars, pure as the sea breeze, and the elves who were often more emotional than rational, would always be reluctant to abandon the stubborn stones in their hands easily because of the little shining place-- It's just that what Carey was going to do was like carving and hammering, he was going to get rid of the evil that had once wrapped around that young heart, leaving only those things that were worth cherishing.
Kerry could not have forgiven Cremar on behalf of the victims, but when the god's forgiveness fell into his hands, the first person Kerry could remember was Cremar.
"He's done so many hard things," Carey whispered softly, "and now it's an even more severe test." β

The god of conspiracy, Shirek, sat in his seat, and in his kingdom he was the most powerful, perfect, and omniscient one. His doppelgΓ€ngers traveled from the bottomless abyss to the paradise of bliss, and of course the main physical plane inhabited by humans, orcs, giants, and gnomes, dwarves, and abominable elves, appearing, speaking, acting, and disappearing in various forms, perhaps disguised as the incarnation and sage of a god, to convey forged oracles or distort original teachings, or to assassinate a virtuous, wealthy and noble elder and have his son fight for all that he had left behind, or to sprinkle vicious sand over the eyes of a loving husband and wife, and make them turn against each other, and then ignited a fire in the mother's heart, instigating her to kill the child and her own husband. Of course, the most important thing is to go to every temple or secret room where this deity is worshipped, listen to the prayers of the believers, and give advice on their filthy and vile deeds.
Each doppelgΓ€nger returned to his body with his favorite offerings, such as the tears of a separated lover in the last moments, or the voice cords of a baby, or the teeth of an old man, the fingers of knights and priests who had been abandoned by their own gods, or turned their backs on their gods, and they were placed on a large gold platter, like the wine and delicacies that humans are accustomed to seeing at feasts, and Ciric tasted them so carelessly, and at the same time felt the power of faith that the doppelganger brought back. The wonderful thing is that not only the winners of the conspiracy, but also the victims will be drained of the soul energy of the most core part, and they will become entangled and fall into the dark and viscous nature of the god of conspiracy, making this swamp of all the evil in the world bigger and bigger.
Occasionally, Ciric leaned down, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to a few of the louder voices, especially those related to his plansβwhen he made his oath with Tyre, Ilmot, and Rosada, he had not mistakenly thought that the secret would be kept for long. In fact, it was Angelis, the god of life, who was the first to notice, but Angles was not only a primordial god, but also a gentle but alienated deity, and he never intervened directly in the battle between the gods - Hirek thought it might be because there was also an orc god among them, Kauha, who everyone knew was mortal enemies, just like he and Rosada, the god of morning light. In this way, it is not so surprising that Angelis and Rosada have joined forces.
The soul of a thief came to Ciric, and when he saw his god, his eyes lit up with fear, for the body of Ciric was made up of countless small beetles hooked together, densely packed and wriggling, and the head was completely a skeleton, with reddish-brown liquid flowing out of the eye sockets, and an unsearchable force crushed him, so that the overly reckless soul was brutally tortured, and he screamed in the hope that this would satisfy the tormentors, but one of the incarnations of Ciric spared him only because he wanted to hear information about the elvesγ
Cremar, the name made Ciric feel a slight throbbing, he bowed his head from his throne, the god of thieves had reported to him that his son, Glenn had not found the essence of the dragon god in the bottomless abyss, Cirek was sure that he was not lying, nor pretentious, or misleading, but as far as the priesthood of the god of conspiracy was concerned, he could still smell the rich and rotten aura that he was familiar with, the god of conspiracy thought for a moment, stood up, and he only turned around and came to a place as tortuous and vast as a dragon's intestines, this is a half-plane, but it is very close to the kingdom of the god of thieves MuskCiric waited only a breath of time, wrapped in a black light veil like nothing, and the graceful figure of the thief god Musk appeared in front of him in the form of a woman.
"Greetings to you," said Musk, "my esteemed master," bowing deeply, "Musk is always at your disposal." β
Ciric didn't bother to pay attention to Musk - the god of conspiracy has never been welcomed among the gods, if the previous god of conspiracy can be said to be one of the primordial gods, then as a mortal and promoted to the god Io by the god Io, there is not even a meager sense of companionship between them, but it must be said that the god hates and hates him the most, no, not Rosada, but Marsk, the god of thieves who has always behaved extremely respectful, docile, and obedient.
In the turbulent moments of a thousand years ago, the god of thieves, Musk, once incarnated into a red blade, luring and forcing Ciric to kill the gods that fell to the ground, but he was not for Ciric or peace on the ground, he just wanted to extract power from the chaos that could make him stronger. And all the godheads, divine powers, and priesthoods of the gods of conspiracy are his prey now, but he probably didn't expect that in the end, he would be used and deceived by a mortal, and instead let him rob him of the abundant fruits.
"You know what I want to hear. Ciric said, then spun the heel of his shoe and struck the ground lightly, and a chair with countless hideous faces rose from the ground, allowing him to sit comfortably on it.
"The dwarves and gnomes are working around the clock for you," Musk said, carefully observing Ciric's expression, pausing and saying another name when he realized that what Shirek wanted to hear was not the message.

Eder held his cervical vertebrae with his tail vertebrae, and after being freed from the illusion and cloak, the moody demigod lich was left with only one leftβyes, he chose his entire spine as the last part to be kept when he became a demigod lich.
Although the number of demigods and lichs is scarce, there are still them, after all, the main material plane has also existed for countless years. It's just that Eder is still the first undead to choose the spine, and most of the other undead choose their own heads, although there are no eyes, no vocal cords, and no precious scalp in the skull, and the desolation is sad, but this still seems to satisfy some of the remnants of most of the undead when they are alive; While they no longer need to use their tongues and teeth to chant spells, or use their hands to make spell casting gestures, this has become almost the only option for demigod lichs.
But that would be too boring, and when Edal discussed the subject with his disciple, the youngest Cremar, he thought that a spine was a better choice than a skull, or a bone of the hand. Look, first of all, the volume, although the spine is very long, it is slender enough, not to mention the head, even the hand bones may not be as small as it curls up, and the spine can also be used as a whip to whip the enemy, or pretend to be a decoration to hang on the wall, or it can be like a snake, or a centipede can quickly flee when people have no time to care, the most important thing is that the eight gems that are most important to the demigod lich can be set in the joints, no, no, no, maybe not eight, in order to paralyze and confuse the enemy, Ederna has set gems with magic light on each joint, from the brightest red to the dullest gray-green, and the pink Ayn Stone that constantly swirls around him, making him look more like a jeweled chain worn by a princess or duchess around her waist.
Although Edherna's disciples agreed that it was only because Ederna had just become a demigod lich and had been subtly stimulated by the demigod lich who had only a pair of bones when he had received a visit from another demigod lich out of bored curiosity - the demigod lich might have hoarded an entire tower of gloves, and he happened to be wearing a pair of gloves full of shiny pink stone and snow-white lace on the day he visited Ederna. Seriously, the lich and the grey-robed spirits in the tower that day all found various reasons to hide, and anyway, it was too bright.
"The air in the main material plane is truly refreshing. "The Demon Lord of the Bottomless Abyss, said Grazt, the prince of the Dark. He stood in the summoned formation, his swarthy body filling almost the entire empty room, if Edal had been a living being, he might have turned into a greasy black shadow on the wall in forced close contact, but fortunately the demigod lich now only needs a small space.
"You don't seem to have been away for long. Edelna said.
"Always. Grazter immediately corrected his statement, the demon did not care about Edairna's rudeness, firstly, Edair's was a man he preferred to be a friend rather than an enemy, and he also had a long friendship with Ederna.
It started with Edelle as a little black sheep.
