Dimly lit buildings. The owner of the inn walked in front with an oil lamp, followed by Irene and a group of knights.

The iron boots stepped on the wooden staircase, making a "babbling" sound, as if they were going to collapse at any moment.

It was on the top floor that the innkeeper reached out and pushed open the hidden wooden door.

What greeted you was an ordinary room.

There was a balcony, and the red moonlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the desk facing the fence. Some are broken.

There was also a bookshelf next to it, which was empty. A simple set of tables and chairs, plus a bed covered with brown sheets. There are not even a few decorative pendants or paintings on the walls.

In this era, such a room is considered good, after all, it is only a place for civilians to live. However, even though it was on the top floor of the third floor, the room still permeated the room with a musty smell, and the air was cloudy and damp. As soon as you open the door, a pungent smell hits your face.

Irene's brows furrowed, and she unconsciously covered her nose with her hands.

The boss hurriedly trotted to open the window to let in the air.

"Isn't there a better room?" asked the bearded knight angrily.

Lighting the two oil lamps in the room, the innkeeper replied with a smirk, "This is already the best." ”

"Then vacate your own room!"

The bearded knight grabbed the innkeeper by the collar and lifted him up, and the innkeeper was so frightened that the oil lamp in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Just as the bearded knight was about to make a rough move, Irene raised her hand, and the bearded knight immediately stopped his movements and put the innkeeper down.

"Alright. It's only a few hours until dawn, and it's the same everywhere you sleep. Let's get some rest, we still have to hurry. ”

Irene spoke, and the bearded knight took a step back respectfully and saluted, "Yes, Miss Irene ". ”

"Let's get out. ”

"Yes. ”

Everyone exited the door.

In the small room, Ireen was the only one left.

She took a deep breath, coughed twice, covered her lips and walked to the balcony, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows wider, and stood quietly, letting the breeze blow through her cheeks. The hand holding the saber tightened unconsciously.

Suddenly, there was a scream, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, screams, and crashing.

"He's here!

"Don't let him run!"

Opening her eyes, Irene stepped out of the balcony and looked out into the street, where she saw a short figure in a cloak running through the street. Behind him was a group of knights. Along the way, there were many people chasing and intercepting them.

"Is there a lich?" said Irene, her eyes widening slightly.

In a moment, the figure had disappeared from her vision, leaving a mess in her wake.

Before she could react, she heard another "bang", and the door behind her was slammed open.

The bearded knight barged in, and when he saw Ireen standing on the balcony unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Miss Irene, are you alright?"

"It's fine. ”

......

Gray fled with the black cat in his hand, as fast as a gust of wind. In the process of running wildly, he overturned the shade cloth at the mouth of the alley, trampled on the stalls of the vegetable vendors, and broke the railing of the stables...... Knights spurred through the streets with spears raised, and the once quiet and peaceful town was thrown into chaos.

What everyone didn't expect was that two legs actually outperformed four legs.

The Lich was far more agile than the knights could imagine, jumping three or four meters high like a grasshopper, jumping directly over the heads of the knights, burrowing into a dog hole like a hamster, and even breaking up and down in two, running under the horse with the lower half of his body and jumping over the top of the knight's head with the upper body. The bow and arrow were of no use to him, and even if they did, they would only leave a hole or two in the black cloak, which would then get stuck in the ribs. In the blink of an eye, it was pulled out and discarded.

"Holy, doesn't anyone get a net?"

"I'm going to chop him up and feed it to the dogs!"

"He's running over there!"

The knights were carried around the alleys in circles, and they all turned dizzy, and one by one they were exhausted and out of breath.

Looking at the figures of those knights flickering far and near, the black cat was happy.

"Wow, you can run so fast? I can't see it, I thought you would fall apart when you run!"

"I added three layers of wind blasting to myself!"

"Yes! It's like an evil lich!hahahaha!"

The fat ghost hadn't finished laughing yet, when Gray suddenly braked sharply and turned around!

I saw the oncoming knight raise his spear and stab at Gray. At that moment, Gray dodged the attack with precision as soon as he bent down and picked up something.

The black cat's eyes are about to fall off.

"What are you doing! Scared me to death!" When the black cat came to his senses, he realized that Gray was putting on his chin...... Well, the skeleton will still fall apart when it runs, and its jaw will fall off, and it really should be picked up.

After a slight sigh of relief, when he looked around again, the black cat exploded violently. Because they have been surrounded by a large number of knights, knights, infantry, and even civilians, inside and outside!

"Look where you're going. The knight in silver armor rode up to them with a sinister smile.

"We? no! I have nothing to do with him! I'm just a passing wild cat!" the black cat struggled desperately to explain, but the skin of its neck was grabbed by Gray. And its voice, when it fell to the ears of the Silver Knight, was just a random cry of "meow meow".

......

Irene stood on the balcony and quietly looked at Gray in the distance, with a bearded knight and a tall, thin middle-aged man standing beside her.

Downstairs in the hotel, several knights and knights under his command had all shown their weapons, forming a defensive ring to protect all the entrances to the hotel.

......

Blood-red moonlight streamed down, illuminating Gray's bare skull and tattered cloak.

He slowly tilted his head and looked around.

All the spears were aimed at him, and the men who held them all swallowed dryly, their eyes widened, and they shivered with nervousness.

Liches have not been seen in the surface world for thousands of years. For all of them, it was the first time they had seen a lich so closely and so clearly.

Short, only the height of a human child of thirteen or fourteen years old, his white bones glowed dark red in the moonlight, and the dark red soul fire in his eye sockets shook with his every movement, leaving an afterimage. Although it is slightly different from the legendary lich, this evil appearance is enough to scare disobedient children.

Slowly opening his mouth, Gray spits out a wisp of white mist like the evil lich in various versions of the novel, and just when everyone thought he was going to say something cruel or curse the gods like in the novel, he said, "I was wrong, I can bury the bones back and write a letter of apology to the owner of the cemetery." Please accept my sincere apologies. ”

The sound is transmitted directly through soul induction.

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned. There was silence.

Irene, who was standing on the balcony, frowned, and laughed, "What is he talking about?"

The bearded knights on one side began to scratch their heads, looking puzzled.

The lich had no expression, but everyone should understand the meaning of these words.

The black cat in his hand began to roll his eyes: "Which villain surrendered before he could make a move? You still have to apologize? Oh my God! You're a lich shame, you know?"

"I just want to resolve it as peacefully as possible. Gray said.

Gray thought so, however, when these words fell into the ears of the Silver Knight, he understood a different meaning: "You mean, you are going to surrender?"

"Uh...... Suffice it to say, if you're willing to accept my apology......"

Before Gray could finish speaking, the knight in silver armor was already shouting: "Do you hear me? He's scared! He's scared of us! Hahahaha! He's afraid of us, what are we afraid of? Give it to me, take him down!"

"Rush!" All of a sudden, everyone rushed towards Gray as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and Gray was dumbfounded.

In the chaos, the people and horses were huddled together.

"Don't push the people in the back!"

"Fuck it!"

"I've caught the Lich! I've caught the Lich!"

"That's my feet!"

Probably because Gray is too short, this squeeze is directly squeezed. The knight in silver armor stood on horseback on the periphery, holding his spear for a long time, stunned not to find out where Gray was.

Just as he hesitated to rush into the crowd himself, he suddenly found Gray crawling out of someone's crotch, and then, quickly burrowing back, dragged out a black cat.

"He's over here! he's going to run!" Probably still afraid of the lich, the knight in silver armor didn't rush forward immediately, but shouted loudly.

This hesitation gave Gray a chance to escape.

I saw him quickly pinch his hands and complete a spell.

The next moment, before the besiegers could react, Gray's feet were off the ground, and his body was thrown into the air like a ball.

"Why don't you fly sooner——! "The black cat being carried by Gray screamed.

"Because I don't know how to use it——!"

With a scream, the knights saw Gray's figure draw a parabola in the sky, smashing down a straw shed at the other end of the town, falling apart.

The whole world fell silent.

The silver-armored knight who came back to his senses raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Chase ——!"

So, everyone ran to the other end of the town.

Erin's heart relaxed slightly, and she snorted, "Lich is stupid, and people are even more stupid." ”
