For the lich in front of him, who looked very optimistic, Xiao Yan was somewhat uncomfortable. Although he had some concepts cleared in his mind, frankly speaking, it would not have been so fast for him to turn around immediately.

"It seems that you have some preconceived ideas about immortal life, but it doesn't matter, at least you didn't rush up and take me to the ground, which is a good start."

The tall lich said this, and as he put down the broom in his hand, he shook it away and threw it on the ground at will. Afterwards, the lich hummed a few syllables casually, sounding like part of a song. In this very cheerful-sounding tone, a new circle erupted in the hands of the lich.

The difference is that the circle has a very narrow area of influence, and it is not a standard circle, but several branches that are very directive. To be exact, the end result of this circle was dozens of tentacles, touching each branch scattered on the ground. Then, the branches that had been temporarily broken off as part of the broom began to vibrate violently.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, the branches slowly erected and lined up in two neat rows along the cave beside the lich, like those street trees. Then, as if something was tumbling underground, the dirt kept being turned out, and a force came out of nowhere to pull the tiny branches into the dirt.

And then, well, Xiao Yan waited for a while, and then realized that there was no then.

It was just a lich in front of him, not the shijie master in the Sky Whisper who could casually make a big tree grow, and being able to make these branches stand in the soil was already the limit of the lich in front of him. Of course. There are definitely lichs who can directly make such branches take root and thrive. Equally. In this way, the Lich is definitely not an opponent that Xiao Yan can oppose.

Hannibal, who was very interested in this process, did not leave there, and lingered nostalgically beside the branches, constantly surrounding them, whimpering from time to time.

The branches didn't change much in return to the poor puppy, and by this time, Hannibal turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, and the look of disappointment and despair in his eyes Xiao Yan couldn't stand it.

The trialist had to kneel down and hug Hannibal's neck. Hold on tightly. Hannibal seemed to realize something, shaking his head over Xiao Yan's shoulder, and roaring in pain as a human. Xiao Yan could already feel that a large number of cold water stains had penetrated his back clothes, flowing into his clothes, and constantly falling on his back.

"Don't cry, good boy, don't cry, good boy, you have to grow up. Like me, we're all going to grow up. ”

Xiao Yan pushed harder. While Hannibal was crying, he also thought of his own parents. The thoughts of each other's parents were mixed together, so that Xiao Yan's face couldn't help but have tears on his face.

"Haode, good boy, I know you can grow up, don't you? Good boy, come on, in order to have no more such pain in the future, we have to keep growing up. Have you heard that the future is hopeless, but we can at least find a glimmer of hope. ”

Listening to Xiao Yan's random persuasion with a slight cry, Hannibal stopped shaking his head and continued to shake his head, it just stood quietly beside Xiao Yan, and the tears did not stop there. The two lives stopped there, and for a moment the scene fell silent. Even the mercenaries who couldn't control their bodies stopped their actions and turned their heads to look at Xiao Yan and his big dog.

"Oh my gosh, oh my God, what a touching scene. Oh my God, don't let me see this, my heart is broken. ”

The lich on one side suddenly spoke, and it continued, "Unfortunately, my heart no longer exists, and I have lost my tears, what a terrible thing. Well, boys, you, and that partner by your side, you have made my old bones very uncomfortable. Tell me how you're going to compensate me? ”

Xiao Yan was quiet for a while, patted Hannibal's shoulder again, then turned his head to look at the lich and asked, "What kind of compensation do you need?" ”

"Oh, a joke, I need a joke to make me happy, you see, it's not too much, is it?"

Xiao Yan wiped his face with his hands, making the face that was stuck with dry tears relax, and at the same time removing all the traces left by these tears. Looking at the lich, Xiao Yan whispered, "I don't have so many jokes, I don't like to see jokes. ”

With a "poof", the lich in front of him actually laughed. The lich, who had a noticeably low laugh, thumped hard at the stone pillar beside the cave and laughed loudly, "Oh, that's good, it's the most haode joke I've ever heard." ”

Just when Xiao Yan was worried about the laughter of the lich in front of him, he suddenly heard a laugh behind him, which surprised him, and those mercenaries were also very happy at this time. Although their bodies were restrained and unable to help themselves, their laughter was real.

"Can this be considered a cultural gap between the East and the West?"

Xiao Yan thought so, not because the laughter was too low, but because the laughter was different.

"If your speeches are always so funny, I'm sure you're going to be the greatest clown actor on this shijie, and I don't know how much better you are now."

After adding a few more words, the lich turned his head to look at the exhausted mercenaries who had been manipulated, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, good job, although not too clean, but with your current appearance, it is already good." ”

After a pause, the lich snapped his fingers again with a "rustle" sound, and with a "snap", all the mercenaries realized in an instant that their bodies were finally their own.

"Elect some of you to come to my dwelling, and I will tell you where the treasure is, and go and take it, that you will be rewarded for cleaning the hillside for me."

The lich said generously, then glanced at the whispering mercenaries and asked, "Are you afraid?" No, the first thing you should think about is, what treasure do I need? ”

"His treasure is in the seventh room on the left after entering," Xiao Yan suddenly interjected, "Although he doesn't need treasure, he must have a strange habit, and there are a lot of silver coins in that room." Unfortunately, it's not gold, apparently he doesn't know how to do anything. You'll need at least, uh, eight people to carry those coins, and I'll draw them for you. Rest assured, there are only labyrinths in this underground cavern, and there are no dangerous traps. But I advise you to be more responsible, not to be too impulsive, if you really crash into something, it's not a good thing. ”

The lich glanced at Xiao Yan unexpectedly, was quiet for a while, and let Xiao Yan draw a map for the excited mercenaries, and then the mercenaries happily rushed into the cave.

"They're such a simple-minded bunch, uh, I mean, they're going to easily take your word for it, not mine."

The lich spoke, looking at the other tired mercenaries who were sitting on the ground and barely wanted to move, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly asked, "Don't you need those treasures?" It's just a silver coin, but it's valuable, isn't it? ”

Xiao Yan smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not interested in those. ”

"What are you interested in? Woman? Magic weapons? Right? It doesn't seem like it's appealing to you. ”

"I'm more interested in the stuff in the fourth room from your left."

Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the lich froze for a moment and said, "Who did you get the news from?" Galvin? No, that old guy didn't come to my house. Galsa? No, that goblin didn't look down on me before, and she must still look down on me now. ”

"I know that I know," Xiao Yan interrupted the lich's wild speculation, and said, "After I saw you use these circles continuously, I believe more clearly that knowledge is the greatest treasure in you. ”

The lich lowered his head and muttered a few words, then said, "What a trouble, I didn't intend to give you these rewards, even if you make me miserable and make me happy, but these things don't make me give you all this knowledge. ”

"I don't want you to give me those parchments, and I can't take them with me."

Xiao Yan suddenly said: "Give me 2 hours, let me go to your library to look at those things, I can remember as much as I can, what do you think?" ”

The lich was obviously moved by Xiao Yan's words, he glanced at Xiao Yan suspiciously, and asked, "Can I trust you?" ”

"You don't have to trust me, you just have to believe in yourself."

The lich smacked his lips, and the sound of bones hitting was not good, but the lich was unimpressed, and he whispered, "Trust myself? Well, that's a good quote that I can record. ”

At this point, the lich raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Okay, okay, 2 hours, not too long." ”

After thinking about it, the lich suddenly asked, "Do you want me to provide you with a copying tool?" Just letting you see it always makes me feel a little embarrassed. ”

Xiao Yan smiled again and asked, "Deliberately let me copy and delay time, so that I can read less books, right?" ”

Broken by Xiao Yan, the lich hurriedly turned his head to look at the other side and said, "No, no, this won't happen, I'm just embarrassed." If you don't need to copy, you can just read, of course, but you can only read, you can't take the book out, again, not for more than 2 hours. ”

Hannibal, who was beside Xiao Yan, whimpered in a low voice, looking more like a coquette, as if to say that he also wanted to look at the books. Xiao Yan frowned slightly, looked at the lich, and asked, "One and a half hours, I only watch one and a half hours, but my Hannibal also wants to see those, how about it?" (To be continued......)
