Chapter 03: The Runaway Lich (3)

Among the bones, straw, and broken wood scattered all over the ground, a left-handed hand bone jumped up with a "snap". Immediately afterward, the bones of the left hand quickly began to search for bones and assemble the body. It's not the first time that I've been proficient, it's very professional. In the blink of an eye, it has been put together.

This is probably a skill that only a long-hunted lich can master.

When he stood up, Gray picked up the dying black cat.

"You...... Can you not take me with you on your next flight? You're dead, but I'm not dead......"

The sound of horses' hooves and commotion could already be heard in the distance, and Gray panicked and carried the black cat into the window next to him.

"Where did you go?"

"Search, search, search, find him no matter what!"

Soon, the brigade had arrived, and began to search everywhere with torches.

"Don't run...... They quickly searched for it. The black cat said intermittently.

"It's okay, I'll fly again when they find me, they can't catch up. Gray said as he restored the wrong rib cage and twisted it twice to see if it was comfortable.

"Do you really want me to die?"

"Don't be afraid, death is not as terrible as you think. And, haven't you already died once?"

Looking at Gray's serious attitude, the black cat's white eyes rolled up, and they were about to lose their breath.

The brain circuits of the lich are indeed different from those of normal people.

In order to survive, the black cat could only say to Gray in an intermittent and choked voice: "From here to the north, there is a blacksmith shop in the two-card storefront...... Go steal the armor. ”

"Stealing armor?"

"Don't you want to be a knight?"

"Oh yes, I've just decided to be a knight. ”

"I suddenly think it's good for a lich to be a knight......"

"Really?"

"Yes, really, I sincerely think you are fit to be a knight. Believe me. The black cat stretched out its paws and clutched Gray's gray robe feebly.

Carrying the black cat, Gray took advantage of the fact that none of the searchers on the street were noticing, and quickly slipped into the alley under the cover of the shadows, and climbed through the window into the blacksmith's shop.

......

"Miss Irene. The bearded knight came to Irene with a skinny man who was supposed to be an infantryman, and saluted: "His master wants us to participate in the encirclement. ”

"Isn't he afraid that we will rob him of his glory?"

"That lich used magic, and it doesn't seem weak. So, they felt they needed our help and promised to mention us when they reported to the church. ”

Irene's gaze looked at the thin soldier on the side. The thin soldier hurriedly took off his helmet, saluted, and smiled awkwardly.

But we don't need praise from the church. Irene replied bluntly.

At this statement, the thin soldiers were stunned, and looked at Irene with wide eyes.

If you don't take the credit of the lich, you don't even need praise from the church. Who are these people?

The bearded middle-aged man standing aside quietly gave Irene a look.

Quietly looking at the soldier, probably thinking that he was a bit too much to say this in this largest land of the church, Ireen changed her words and said, "Halls, see who is willing, bring a few people to help them." Abby Robles, during Halls' absence, the centaurs are at your disposal. ”

"Yes!" the bearded knight Halls slammed his breastplate.

"Yes!" the tall and thin Abby Robles also saluted respectfully.

......

Gray climbed out of the blacksmith's window with a pair of armor clanging, still holding the dying black cat in his hands.

"You're afraid people won't know you're a lich, aren't you?

Glancing at the two soldiers who were searching the alley across the street, and then at himself, Gray crept around to the back of the house and began to toss vigorously.

He stuffed straw into his armor, broke off his leg bones, threw wood in the middle, and finally put a few stones on his spine.

"Won't you fall apart easily?" asked the black cat, lying on his stomach and lying on his side.

"Yes, but you can bless the magic. ”

It's all done, and Gray's height has also increased from 1.4 meters to 1.8 meters. After moving a little, I found that it was quite comfortable.

"What's next? By the way, weapons!" Gray reached out and touched the sword at his waist, "They seem to have spears and bows." ”

"A knight doesn't have to carry a bow or a spear...... Are you going to run away with such a big guy on your shoulder?"

"Then what's more? By the way, the Knight Guide and the horse!"

"There's a bookstore to the west......"

"Alright, go now!" Removing his helmet along with his skull, Gray tucked the black cat from the neck into his body.

"Whew, do you want to suffocate me......"

The black cats were about to cry. This journey has been really bumpy. It doesn't even know if it's going to survive tonight.

Gray exposed the cat's head again, put his skull back, and put on the helmet again. So, the skull and the cat's head were crammed into a helmet. Wide-eyed staring, a little crowded......

......

The red moon, the shadowed cobblestone paths, the soldiers and residents carrying torches coming and going. There are also many residents lying on the balconies and windows on the second floor.

Gray walked stiffly down the street, feeling everyone around him look at him, and his scalp tingled. If he has a scalp.

"Your movements are so unnatural that you can't walk properly?" huddled in Gray's helmet, the black cat's eyelids began to fight, and if it hadn't been the constant situation, maybe he would have fainted.

Gray, on the other hand, was still nervous, looking around as he walked.

"I, I don't want to do that either. Suddenly I grew forty centimeters taller, and I was still wearing such heavy armorβ€”β€”! I wasn't used to it......"

Before he could finish speaking, Gray fell down with a "plop".

So, it's not a feeling, but the people around him are really looking at him.

Gray slid to his feet, and Gray continued on.

"Why is this knight a little strange?"

"Did you notice? He walks with his hands and feet. ”

"Can you be a knight if you're so clumsy?"

People whispered all around.

Gray's psychological pressure is getting heavier.

"What should I do? Will they find out?"

"It's possible ......"

"What then?"

"Hurry up and get out of here. What else can I do?"

I couldn't help it, so Gray just ran away. ran all the way to the front of the bookstore, and didn't care so much, just kicked the door open and rushed in.

The chatter behind him suddenly became heavier.

"Where's the book!"

"How do I know, you can find it yourself......"

After glancing, Gray quickly found the "Knight Guide" he asked for and stuffed it into his armor.

"And then!"

"Horse ...... Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Horseback riding, no!"

"Then you'd better stop riding, you fall when you walk, and you will definitely fall apart when you ride a horse. ”

"Does a knight have to have a horse?"

"There must be. ”

"What then?"

"How do I know what to do? I'm just a ghost......"

Gray seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly rushed out of the store.

......

The whole town was full of people with torches and searchers, not only the knights who were hunting Gray, but also the local residents.

"You guys! Who will allow you to rest! Why don't you get up and look for it!" The silver-armored knight stood on the cobblestone road and shouted: "You rice buckets! If you can't catch them, forget it, and lose them! What else do you want you fools to do?"

"Your Excellency...... Those are not our people. They are the guards of the town......"

"Not ours?" the sweaty knight in silver armor was stunned for a moment, looked back into the distance, and muttered to himself, "You have to find it quickly, otherwise the other knights will come, and the cooked duck will fly." That one...... Did the woman come over just now?"

"She sent a couple of people over to help. ”

"It's okay if there aren't many people coming, at least she won't rob it. Just help find it. ”

......

The bearded Halls and a few of his men staggered down the street.

......

Sneakily, along the edge of town, Gray made his way through a large group of knights who were chasing him, and then sneaked back to his "castle" where the foundations were not even laid.

It was an unusually conspicuous clearing on the top of the hill next to the town, and at this moment, it had been burned by the knights with fire, and there was nothing but charred black all over the ground.

Thankfully, there was nothing, so the knights were gone, and no one wanted to stay in a place where the lich would never return. After all, there's glory waiting for them, isn't there?

Walking to the middle, Gray recited the incantation, and a strange cyan glow appeared in his hand like a flame. With his movements, it gently rippled in the air.

All of a sudden, everything around them trembled slightly.

A moment later, a bone horse with a leaky full-body armor came out of the earth and leaped up: "Hissβ€”β€”!"

......

A moment later, a bony horse in torn full-body armor came out of the earth and leaped to its feet: "Who is it? Who awakened the great Tenedas (tomato)!"

The voice full of majesty sounded in his ears, and the cyan flames leaking from the broken armor all over his body, the aura, the black cat was stunned.

"Shhhh

"Chasers?" asked the bone horse in a whisper.

"Yes, Chaser. You are now the undead. The lich whispered.

The bone horse looked down at the ribs peeking out of his open breastplate, and with a "click", his jaw dropped.
