"Mr. Rhein. Why are you here?"

Lucien asked suspiciously, his voice genuinely sounded, and his hoisted heart fell back into place, although still vigilant, it no longer had the visceral horror that he had heard the laughter before.

Holding a wine glass and shaking it in salute was none other than the acquaintance "Observer" Rhine, who had not been heard from since parting with Lucien Aalto, who actually appeared in the projection of the Withered Vine Castle in the Necromantic Realm, and his relaxed and leisurely appearance looked like he was waiting for Lucien here.

The gorgeous golden throne specially created by Count Witte to symbolize the glory of his nearly hundred years of war presents a monotonous black, white and gray in the necromantic realm, as if everything that is valuable when he is alive, such as affection, glory, loyalty, treasure, food, etc., here, after death, will be the same dead silence, the same pale, and have no meaning.

However, the Rhine on this throne completely displayed silver, red and many other colors, as if in a pool of stagnant water, in the midst of a rotten and rigid corpse, jumped into a living person, colorful stirring everything but so out of place, full of a strong sense of rejection.

Rhine shook the wine glass in his hand, watched the scarlet liquid sway, and chuckled, "Of course I'm here to wait for you, Lucien." ”

"Mr. Rhine, don't be joking......" The corners of Lucian's mouth twitched slightly, and sure enough, he was still familiar with the joking Rhine, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

However, Lucien didn't believe that Rhine was waiting for him here, because he hadn't been in contact with him for a long time, and he didn't even know what happened to him after he arrived at the Magic Council, and what tasks he was assigned to, and it was difficult to be so accurate based on prophecy alone.

Rhein shook his head and put down his glass. Standing up slowly, two huge bat wings appeared behind it, completely covering the hall of the withered vine castle. The black light swayed slightly like rippling water.

"Sure enough, it's a vampire...... Is he a legendary powerhouse?" Lucien was finally sure after seeing this scene. Even when he met Rhine's "grandson", Viscount Calendia, Lucien probably guessed this, but Rhine was so mysterious. Only by witnessing it can you be truly sure. Sometimes, of course, seeing is not always believing.

Rhine slowly descended the steps of the throne. Smiled leisurely and smugly: "Lucian, I was really waiting for you, and for this purpose, it was specially projected into Count Werther's dream." ”

Although he behaved easily and easily, Lucien suddenly had a strange feeling that he had used all his strength to maintain his current existence, and it seemed that in front of him was not the real Rhine, but just a projection of him!

"What's the matter. Mr. Rhine, do you also know that the Necromantic Realm has been exploring here?" Lucien asked seriously when he heard him mention Count Werther, his expression became serious.

Rhine nodded: "Originally, I was commissioned by the Dark Council to go to Alto to do something, but then I accidentally discovered the existence of the true seal of the 'Silver Lord'. Because it is related to a matter that has caused a sensation in the world before the sacred calendar, it is related to the entry of the necromantic world and the secret of the depths. So I changed my mind and cooperated with the original enemy. ”

"Cardinal Salde?" Lucien guessed thoughtfully, being able to cooperate with Rhine, a mysterious figure who is suspected of being a legendary powerhouse, and who was previously qualified to be regarded as an enemy by him, in the entire Aalto, only Cardinal Salde has this strength - the other two legendary powerhouses in the principality are in the Northern Fortress, they are the head of the Knights of the Holy Sword, Natasha's teacher "Divine Radiance" Beria, and the "Chaos Serpent" Milton, who is close to the Violet family, "but a Holy Spirit priest and a vampire" It's weird and ridiculous for the ancestors to cooperate......"

Rhine smiled handsomely and praised, "Yes, very smart." We managed to get there, but while exploring the Necromantic Realm, something happened to us, and Salder was very hidden, so I was trapped somewhere deep in the Necromantic Realm, similar to the Maskiline that left your amulet. ”

He said, glancing at Lucian's chest.

"Why are you ......" Lucien asked in surprise, but soon realized that before entering the necromantic realm, Rhine was clearly aware of his whereabouts, knowing that he was a magician, and he must have heard about the collapse of the "Great Cross Star Shelf", combined with the secrets of the "Observer" knowing the Dao, it was not difficult to guess that he had obtained the relics of the "Prophet" Maskilein.

Therefore, when he was face to face now, and he, a legendary powerhouse, sensed it carefully, it was easy to discover the existence of the "Corona of the Sun" talisman.

Perhaps he might have encountered Maskeling in the depths of the Necromancy......

Dissipating his surprise, Lucien asked suspiciously, "Mr. Rhine, you are trapped in the same state as His Excellency Maskilene, why are you in a different state, and what secrets are hidden in the depths of the necromantic realm?"

This was a question that plagued Lucien for many days and nights, especially after discovering that Maskeling was likely to be connected with the emergence of the Cult of God-Truth. At this time, Lucien finally met a strong man who was trapped in the depths of the necromantic realm to "show up and say", of course, he had to ask for a good question!

Rhine spread his hands in a dashing manner: "I have always been careful, I have made some preparations in advance, and I can borrow the strength of a certain person, so even if I am trapped, I have not completely lost my ability, and there is still a way to project it." It's a pity that this projection can only appear in the necromantic realm at the moment and has no power, and if you want to communicate with the main physical world, you can only choose the kind of creature that is on the verge of death and can faintly sense the breath of death, and then project it in his dream. ”

"Because what happened to Count Werther is somewhat related to some 'guys' in the necromantic world, I have been projecting and paying attention, and then learned about your arrival from the dream of the shapeshifting mage Miyaka who was almost killed by you. ”

"Given that you may have learned about the existence and mystery of the Necromantic Realm from the arrangement left behind by Maskeling, given that you and I are close, hey, familiar friends, given that you are the weakest of all those who know the secrets of the Dao, and will not think of anything else for the time being, and given that I am not capable of projecting into your dreams, I have decided to lure you into the Necromantic Realm and communicate with you well, and then, I will get in touch with Count Werther. ”

"It turns out that the things behind it are so complicated......" Lucien sighed quietly. "Mr. Rhine, what does this matter have to do with the necromantic realm? Is the secret of the necromantic realm related to the gods? You want me to save you from your predicament? I'm afraid I won't be able to go deep into the necromantic realm before I become a legendary magician. ”

A series of questions exposed Lucian's shocking and complex inner emotions.

Rhine's expression was rare serious. He bowed slightly: "I don't know what the secret of the necromantic world in the eyes of others represents, but in my heart, judging from many intelligence and secret stories, it is indeed related to the gods. Associated with true immortality, it is a pity that I did not meet Maskiline them, nor did I get deep there. I can't answer what it is, but maybe you'll find your own answer in the future. ”

"As for this matter, it is the property of a certain person who knows the existence of the Necromantic Realm, and is even as close to the secrets of the gods as Maskelin, who sent his subordinates to plot the serious illness of Count Werther, as for why he did this, I don't know, according to normal logic. It means nothing to him. ”

"And what I ask you to help with is divided into two stages, one is to wait for you to become a high-level magician, go to a few dangerous places to activate the arrangements I left in advance, and look for a certain being, if all goes well. I won't need a second stage to get out of trouble, and if not, then wait until you've become a Legendary Mage, preferably a Grand Arcanist, and then come in and help me out, just like Maskeling might have asked to stay. ”

Lucien was a little surprised by Rhine's request, he actually left such a full arrangement, and then said seriously: "Mr. Rhine, you have helped me many times, I have always remembered it, if I can become a high-level magician, I will try my best to fulfill your request, as for the legendary magician, now it is difficult for me to say whether I have the ability to be promoted." ”

"Sure enough, it's a character I know and like. In short, I can only ask for this kind of dangerous thing, and I will not let you make an oath or leave a promise, it is all up to you whether you want to or not. Rhine smiled as easily as he was trapped, "Besides, I won't let you take risks just for the sake of love, and when you become a high-level magician, you have enough ability to go around the place where I hide the treasure and take the three items you like from the previous floors." If I can get out of this trap or you become a legendary magician, open the bottom of the treasure room and pick one of my treasures. ”

"Don't refuse, the stronger you are, the more sure I will get out of trouble. ”

Lucien nodded slightly: "It's good." And as an arcane artist, knowing that such an important secret existed in the Necromantic Realm, I couldn't control my desire to explore. ”

This lies in the fear of death and aging, in addition to a deep interest in knowledge and the unknown.

In addition, Lucien suspects that the mysterious guy Rhein has other backs, and he is not simply pinning his hopes on himself.

"Lucien, until you have legendary strength, never tell anyone about the necromantic realm and ask for their help. Whether it is the epic knight of the Holm Kingdom, or the grand arcanist and legendary magician of the Magic Council, the greatest possibility is to kill you. Rhine solemnly reminded.

Lucien also agreed solemnly and cautiously, this is the biggest secret in the world, and once it is revealed, it will set off a terrifying storm.

After a few seconds of silence, Lucien continued to ask, "Mr. Rhein, can you tell me more secrets about this matter?"

"Lucien, it's not good for you to know some things too early, don't be too anxious, when you are qualified to know the Tao, I will project it into your dream to tell you. Rhine's words were a little contradictory to before, and then a handsome smile like a teasing one appeared again, "By the way, I'll pay a little advance now." ”

Rhine had already walked in front of Lucien at this time, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, firmly suppressing Lucien in place, unable to move. Then his white, straight teeth protruded into four fangs that shimmered with a silvery sheen.

It's not scary, but there's a strange beauty.

"Mr. Rhein?" Lucien didn't panic too much, because according to the overwhelming momentum that Rhein showed, it was easy for him to kill himself, and there was no need to dwell on it for so long before.

Rhein lowered his head, his teeth gritted on Lucian's neck, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's not the first hug." ”

A slight tingling pain came from his neck, and Lucien was a little dizzy at first, and then felt the blood of his entire body begin to boil, strangely transforming into an invisible and inexplicable force, flowing towards the soul Bobo.

Lucian's body is rapidly weakening, and his soul is rapidly becoming stronger!(To be continued.) )
