Chapter 12: The Visitor (2)

A dimly lit underworld.

Teal ghostly fire wafted around. A pyramid with bone spurs stands in the middle of the subterranean plain, like a giant dragon fruit. There were also the bones of two huge ancient dragons lying on it. This is what the lichs brought back as decorations. It is said that for the sake of the bones of these two ancient dragons, they fought with the dragons and did not win, but the dragons finally compromised. Because the war lasted for more than a thousand years, after the lich was destroyed, they would return to the soul box, recuperate for two years, and then be alive and kicking on the battlefield again...... The dragons were so tired that they had to sign the peace agreement.

This is the home of the Lich Council.

Name?

Oh no, this place has no name. The Lich Council met for 2,000 years without deciding on a name, and even nearly sparked a large-scale civil war with the Lich because of its name, and finally they had to put the name on hold for the time being.

You have to understand that the Lich is a crazy species, and the Lich Council is generally only quick to agree on issues such as fighting or going out together to do bad things, and other issues ...... They will also develop it into a fight or going out together to do bad things.

At this moment, there is not even a single guard in this place. If anyone strays into this place, they will probably think it's a ruin or an ancient tomb or something.

The Flesh-Winged Toad Demon and Tavia stood in the empty hall in a daze, staring blankly.

"Why don't we have any guards? Are we in the wrong place?"

"No, there are no guards here. The lichs felt that letting the guards go might scare the brave. This way there will be no brave people coming to sneak attack, and they will have a lot less fun. Although no brave man has ever come. ”

"What about the lich? There are no lichs here?"

"Forehead......" The toad demon thought as he touched his non-existent chin and said suspiciously, "Normally, there are a few lichs dormant here, and I wonder why there aren't any of them this time." Did something happen?"

While they were talking, a lich staggered into the main hall and looked around in amazement: "They're all gone! What's the matter! They're all gone! I'm usually fine if I'm a year late, but this time I'm only one day late and they left me?"

As he spoke, he staggered across the hall with his wand in hand, and halfway there, a book fell from his coat pocket. He turned his head to pick it up, and then went out through the door on the other side, as if the two demons standing in the main hall were completely absent.

Toad Demon and Tavia stared blankly.

After a long moment, the toad demon could only summarize in a panic, "The Lich Council has poured out, and I think something big must have happened." We've got to look into it. This has happened before. Last time, they attacked Heaven, and again, they attacked us. ”

Tavia was stunned.

......

At this moment, in the surface world, in the manor on the outskirts of the Lion King of Isaac, the butler fainted in the kitchen, Bubbles fainted in the hall, and a group of lichs were surrounding a poor author.

"You can't do that, you're lichs, lichs...... This is ridiculous. ”

"But we like to see it, you have an opinion? Are you questioning the Lich Council's decision?"

"No, I'm definitely not questioning, I'm just ...... A little advice. Shouldn't you find a place to build a castle and kidnap a princess or two? that's what a lich should do. ”

"Oh, you still want to teach us how to be lichs, do you?"

"No——! I never meant that!"

"Anyway, we think you're well written, and we've even legislated that all liches should watch The Lich Paladin. ”

"Stand ...... Legislative?"

"Yes, but who will enforce the law has not yet been decided. A fight may be required. Of course, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to write a sequel with peace of mind. As he spoke, a large stack of white paper, as well as pens and ink, had been sent to Morka.

Holding the pen, Morka's forehead was covered with cold sweat. The bare skulls all around him looked at him, and colorful soul fires burned in his eyes, and he could only hold up a panicked but polite smile: "Or, you guys should avoid it first." It's not that I don't want to write, I just ...... I'm not used to letting people, or rather, make the lich stare at it. ”

"What's the point? Does he mean to kick us out?"

"No, I'm not going out, I can't wait, I'm going to watch him write here." ”

"Maybe we can be incognito so he doesn't know we're watching him. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. ”

After a bit of talk, the lichs vanished.

The wind blew softly, raising the curtains.

In the dark room, lit only by a candle, Morka sat alone "alone", holding a pen.

"Hi, you can start writing. Don't worry, we're not staring at you anymore. ”

"Would he believe we weren't really staring at him, you say that?"

"Don't worry. I have a kind of 'medicine that everyone will believe when they drink it', and if he doesn't believe it, I give him a little drink. ”

"Well, that's good, let's see if he believes it first. ”

Silence, silence for a long time, Morka Khan rained down, laughed slowly, laughed like crying: "Hahahaha, it's all gone." My state is here all at once!"

"Good, he looked convinced. You should be able to start writing now, right?"

Holding his trembling hand, Morka finally clicked the pen on the white paper, and because of the careless control, the ink blurred on the white paper.

"Damn! Who's going to take this piece of paper away!"

The soiled paper flew away out of thin air.

In the midst of fear and helplessness, Morka wrote the first word.

"It's too slow to write, and I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it before he dies. Human life is too short. Why don't we kill him and make him a lich?"

Molkadon's thoughts flowed so quickly that he finished the first paragraph.

"Hey, he's writing fast again?"

Probably, no author has ever written in such a crazy state. I have to say that Morka not only wrote, but also wrote very well. After all, when life hangs by a thread, people can always burst out with unimaginable potential.

There are all kinds of strange things like lichs, they all seem to be the same on the surface, but in fact there are countless kinds of them.

For example, the obsessive-compulsive lich: "I swear in my twelfth-level continental language, this is a sick sentence." ”

Morka was so frightened that he hurriedly revised it.

......

For example, the Cleanliness Lich: "I object to you using dark and evil to describe the Lich, we Lichs are always above board, and we never hide our bad deeds." ”

Morka was so frightened that he hurriedly revised it.

......

For example, the narcissistic lich: "Mr. Author, I find that you often depict other people's appearances at great length, but never the appearance of the main character. I think you need to spend some time depicting it, after all, he is just as good-looking as I am. ”

Morka hardened his muscles and began to paint Gray's "handsome" face.

......

For example, the Filthy Lich: "Mr. Author, I would like to know what happened to Gray and Shelley's wedding night, please write into details." Just write a million words. ”

Molka was so frightened that he quickly switched to the author of Xiaohuangwen.

......

There is also the second revenge lich: "This Levi, I want to chop him into meat sauce! If you don't chop him into meat sauce, I will chop you into meat sauce!"

Of course, there are also righteous and generous lichs: "Shut up! I'm fed up with you! Don't interfere with the author's creation!"

"What? Do you want to fight?"

"Do you think I'm going to be scared of you? Let's go somewhere else!"

"Author, by the time we get back from the fight, I hope you've finished writing a chapter, or I'll feed you 'squealing and diarrhea'. ”

Eventually, the righteous and generous lich was beaten back to the Soul Crate by the group, and the next time Morka saw him would be two years later.

In short, in the middle of summer, this night was unusually cold, Morca's cold sweat never stopped, and his legs kept trembling and trembling, but he still insisted on plowing his pen.

We have to sigh at the tenacity of human desire to survive.

This story tells us that we really can't write nonsense, otherwise something will really happen. What if you accidentally get into a group of readers who are mentally ill and have an explosion of force value?

You have to admit that the world is always crazier than you think. While little Richie is struggling to study because of his insignificance, and Gray is struggling to preach his righteousness and proclaim divine faith, the Lion King, a poor author, is being forced to write by the Lich Council. This once again confirmed the words of the toad demons, and no one knew what was going on in the minds of these lichs.

The wheels of history continue to roll forward, occasionally snapping into small rocks like Levi, and occasionally crashing into boulders like the Lich Council in the middle of the road.

......

At the same time, on the other hand......

"Your Majesty the Emperor Gustavus: I have received your letter. I would be more than happy to explain to you what happened on the Holy See Hill in person. But given the current situation, I can't leave for the time being. After the new change, the Holy See still has a lot to do, including the self-examination of the Holy See itself, as well as the replacement of the old and new policies. I can only tell you with great regret that I would like to go to the Gustav Palace in the near future to greet you in person, but certainly not now. Of course, whether or not I go to the Gustav Palace immediately, the Holy See's support for the Gustav royal family will not change in the slightest given that the Gustav royal family upholds the holy faith. Inauguration: Earl of Grugru, Duke of Beshir, arbiter of Eloy, patron of the royal house of Isaac, allegiance of Prince Allen, godfather of the six princes of the South, overseer of the Fatwa and the Council of Cardinals, saint and paladin approved by the Holy Spirit, Gray Grugru. ”

This is Gray's reply to Cedric V.

Judging from the title, Greco is not inferior to Emperor Gustav at all. After all, unlike the title of Emperor Gustav, which is basically inherited, Gray's title, behind each one is a legendary story sung by the entire continent, and they are all great military exploits. Except for the title of Count Gruglu at the front, any one of them is taken out, and they are all overlords on the mainland side.

"I think you'd better remove 'under the premise of the Gustav royal family's sacred faith,' he might feel like you're threatening him," Black Cat suggested. After all, the Holy See has the authority to define whether or not others uphold the Holy Faith. ”

Gray replied, "But you asked me to express my support for the Gustav royal family, so this sentence must be added." After all, I can't continue to support him without his holy faith. ”

"Well, whatever you want. The black cat spread his hands helplessly.

Sending the letter, Gray went on to devote himself to the reform and trial of the College of Cardinals.

The reform has not yet had time to be put on the agenda, and as for the trial of the College of Cardinals, it is a rotten book at all. At first, the cardinals flatly denied their faults, shielded each other, and even threatened that they had been framed. And the framer, apparently, pointed directly at Gray. Of course, such sophistry is useless. As time went on, Jones began to break through the gaps and find all sorts of unbelievable evidence. Immediately afterwards, the cardinals went from shielding each other at the beginning to exposing each other, just hoping to reduce their punishment. All kinds of evidence were piled up on Gray's table, and Gray, who had no scalp, had a numb scalp.

These people can be said to have all kinds of.

Not to mention the desires of individuals who violate the doctrine in private, which are too numerous to count. But at least those were only minor and didn't harm others.

Looking for the big ones, there are also countless things that help the big families to bully the small families and bully the commoners to obtain improper benefits.

This is still selfish desires, and in order to achieve political goals, there are also many things such as covering up and reversing black and white. Abandoning the Isaac royal family and giving up Bob's patronage in exchange for Benedict II's acceptance of the Reformation was one of them. The most recent one, in order to reach an agreement with the Gustav Empire, the cardinal secretly ordered a fire to destroy all the evidence against the Gustav royal family, and then forced the Lorraine Islands to be incorporated into the Gustav Empire.

"Oh my God, how could they do that?" Gray froze.

There is no doubt that this content had a great impact on Gray. At one point, he thought that the cardinals should be put to death immediately, without even a trial.

From the shock at the beginning, to the numbness, to the end, I just want to check again and see what else can be dug up. If it weren't for the fact that some more benevolent things were dug up later, such as cardinals adopting orphans on a large scale, cardinals using their own money to open schools for free, cardinals actively trying to mediate conflicts between countries at the risk of their lives, etc., Gray would have wanted to directly announce the dissolution of the Sensibility.

Well, cardinals don't just do bad things, they do good things too, and there are quite a few of them. On the whole, these are not saints, they are human beings at best, with good and bad sides. If by the standards of ordinary people, they are not even bad, it's a pity that they wear the halo of cardinals. Then in Gray's eyes, they can no longer use the standards of ordinary people.

At the same time, ten of the seventeen southern countries that had already sensed the change in the situation and were closer to Gray wrote to Gray, expressing their support for Gray. And a month after Gray took full control of the Holy See Hill, in August 10757 A.D., Gray received a second letter from Emperor Gustav.

"Your Excellency the Paladin, two friends have arrived in Gustavus' imperial capital, and I heard that you are looking for them. Yes, I'm talking about the two cardinals who have 'gone missing' in the Holy See. They are now guests in my palace. They told me something sensational, which surprised me. For this, I firmly believe that you should immediately, face to face, explain to me what happened at Mount Azrant. Note that I say immediately. Whether you have anything else to do to keep busy. Signed: Gustavus and Ruler of the Lorraine Islands, Emperor approved by the Holy Spirit, Guardian of the Northern Frontier of the Holy Church, Arbiter, Heir to the Holy Sword, Cedric V. ”
