Chapter 176: Roark at the Gallop (Part II)
Lich.
They were originally short-lived, and through crooked methods, they wanted to take shortcuts to obtain immortality.
If you live forever even with your physical body, the power you need is undoubtedly amazing. Not to mention anything else, even if it is steel, it will decay in a hundred years, so that the mortal body can last for thousands of years, and the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky.
But if you just make a sojourn for the soul and house it in it, it will not be extinguished for hundreds or thousands of years, then the power required is only a tenth of the former.
At the same time, use some methods to dispose of your original body, make it lifeless, and then make it into a magic puppet for your soul to manipulate.
In this way, although the body will never grow again, the wound will not heal, there will be no pain, no more pleasure or other feelings, it will no longer be able to drink a sip of water or eat a bite of food, but it will be like a mummy for hundreds or thousands of years without decaying.
In other words, in the end, it becomes a living corpse with sentience.
If this body is destroyed, you can also find a way to make a substitute for the body.
Although it is a crooked and evil way, it can be regarded as halfway out of the road to immortality.
Some mages choose this path because their lives are too short and they want more time to continue their magical studies forever.
And this Roque in front of Luo Ming is much worse than those genuine lichs.
It's a bit of a lift to say it's a semi-finished product.
Its body is long gone, and after all these years, it has not gathered enough materials to build a body for itself that can be replaced.
And what it chose to use to inhabit its soul was a fragment of a treasure that originally had many mystical powers, and it itself had not put much effort into this at all, let alone refining this treasure for its own use.
It's like seeing an old uninhabited house, a homeless man breaking the window and moving in. There is no water, no electricity, no key to the gate, just a simple residence, and there is no comparison with those who build their own houses.
As a result, it was trapped in the fragments of the Eye of the Mystic, and it became very difficult to extend its power outward.
For Luo Ming, it is like a child holding gold in the downtown area, and a fat sheep sent to the door.
The half-finished lich thought that the knowledge of the half-bucket of water in his stomach would make Lormin salivate and negotiate with him......
Not to mention Luo Ming, who has the help of Aya's human library, even if he is an ordinary person, as long as he has some knowledge, he will not actually take the bait.
It's better to be bitten by a vampire.
Seeing that Luo Ming was impatient, Luo Ke hurriedly said, "Aren't you at all interested in the secret of immortality? This is impossible? You're bargaining, right?"
I see, I see, it's my fault, I'm not going to hide anything from you anymore, I'm not going to sell it anymore! I'm going to pass on more knowledge—"
"Excuse me.
It's just a lonely ghost, if you see me, you will obediently kneel and lick and surrender, hand over your real name, sign a deed of sale, and serve me diligently in the future, maybe I will be kind, and I will help you make a body so that you can move freely in more than ten years.
That's what is written in those legends and scripts. ”
As he spoke, Luo Ming showed a smile full of malice: "However, when you first saw me, you wanted to attack me, which is already a great sin that offended me.
When I get here, you don't greet me respectfully, but talk nonsense with me and want to bargain, which is your second sin.
At this point, no one can save you if you ask God and demons!"
After saying this, he deliberately set up such a big flag, and he began to look left and right, looking at the exaggerated posture, he wished that something suddenly jumped out to save the scene.
Of course, he actually knew in his heart, and he was not an underestimated enemy—he had looked around with energy vision, and there was no powerful force that could threaten him.
As for summoning a powerful monster...... Even the incarnation of the Great Demon was sent back to his hometown by him, what is the monster that a mere Roque can summon?
"Little ghost, don't underestimate me too much!"
Enraged by this attitude, Roque let out a loud cry, and just then, the wall cracked and two gnolls jumped out.
No...... Not a gnoll, at least, not a living gnoll.
The fur has been stripped of it, and the surface of the body is inlaid with a shell that is neither gold nor iron, and the eyes are blank.
It was a living corpse, and several times Roque had tried to make a body for himself, but all of them failed, and sometimes there were no bones left, and only those two bodies were not damaged.
But these two sentences were still not successful, Roque's soul was still unable to settle in it, it itself was a little discouraged, and the jackals were frightened by this incident, so they put this plan aside for the time being.
Although it is a failure, and even out of this cave, you can't ** indulge, but in the cave, these two corpses that have spent a lot of effort to concoct are not weak in themselves, and they are not afraid of death at all, which is definitely enough for the enemy to drink a pot!
"Oh. Luo Ming watched as the two living corpses lunged towards him, nodded, and then waved the long sword in his hand.
The sword body is wrapped with Cangyan, which can not only cause great physical damage, but also has the power to strike at all invisible things such as souls.
With a flash of sword light, the two living corpses fell to the ground, without much scar on their bodies, but they were already motionless.
This sword is also a sword of interception, and with the help of Cang Yan, it directly cut off the connection between the two living corpses and Roque, just like a robot that has lost its remote control, and it can't move immediately.
Roque had originally planned to have two living corpses entangle Luo Ming to cover its own attack, but before it could make a move, the two living corpses had already been destroyed.
"Come on, what's more fun? Show me all of them, at least it will prolong your life for a few minutes, don't you think it's a good deal?"
Hurry up, or you'll die in no time when I lose my patience!"
Luo Ming deliberately made a face that would make anyone look disgusted and angry, and tried his best to provoke Roque.
And Roque did not live up to his expectations, and his anger rose to a level that quickly reached a level that was completely uncontrollable.
In other words, this can be regarded as a disadvantage of the existence of lichs - without the protection of the living body, the soul is directly exposed, and it is susceptible to all kinds of pollution and influence.
Those who turn into lichs through necromancy tend to be infiltrated by negative energy and become cold and cruel, and this Roque, although not like that, is obviously more irritable and irritable than the average person.
