The night in Xi'an has never been quieter than it is today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Except for a very small number of people who continue to stay with the determination to die, most of the other citizens have fled this place, and the hustle and bustle of the city that used to faintly come from the night has completely disappeared tonight, and none of the magic light signs that once made the night sky unable to remain pure black have not lit up, and the night sky tonight is cold and pure, and countless starlights that could not be seen in the past have been revealed, stretching wantonly.

I didn't expect the eyes of a dead man to see such a beautiful night sky.

Standing in the ruined Great Chapel and looking up at the starry sky, Gregory stiffened the corners of his mouth. Now his whole body is shrouded in a gorgeous robe, the robe is painted with intricate divine patterns, and the divine aura continues to emanate from these divine patterns, with his pale face and the divine light that constantly flickers in his left eye, it is more powerful than usual, but no one knows that the body wrapped in such a sacred robe no longer has blood flowing, nor does it have any heartbeat.

After a careful examination of his body, he finally understood what was happening to him - at the moment of death, his soul should have left his body and went to Sanin's divine domain, but at this moment, in his left eye, a divine light directly from Sanin himself was circling, so the power of the rules that controlled all this indiscriminated his soul into the divine light of his left eye, and this light was transformed by Sanin himself. fused with his body, and his soul took control of it again—but not in the same way it had been.

Now, if he had to be classified, he could only be counted as a lich, an alternative lich who used the divine light in his left eye as a life box for his soul and manipulated divine power!

The Sage of Light became the Lich of Light...... It's ironic.

A pale smile appeared on Gregory's stiff face, fleeting.

No one will ever know, though.

A sharp light flashed in the young man's stiff eyes, and then he endured the damage caused by the holy light emitted by the robe, and continued to intensify his practice on how to use this stiff body while he was alone now. It is not easy for a newborn lich to manipulate his body flexibly, because his whole body no longer has any sense of touch or anything to provide information, and it is all aided by his own consciousness and vision, and the goal of his practice is to avoid showing any unconscious appearance, or even a wound without knowing it.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Gregory stopped his movements in an instant, and looked up, as if admiring the blur of the night sky.

"Your Excellency Gregory. ”

Estelle's tired voice came, and then she appeared at the entrance with a sad face, her clothes even stained with some dust: "The whole of Xi'an has almost become an empty city...... The Inquisitors have brought some bread and milk from the market, so please have something to eat!"

Now in Xi'an City, only the few people left in the Great Church, and there is no sign of anyone in other places, even in the Imperial Palace, so they have to do their own food and drink - but this is temporary, and when the situation calms down, people will soon return here.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry. ”

Gregory looked at the food with no interest, and a faint resentment crossed his heart, but he immediately suppressed it: "It's better to give it to Kurezeman...... Your Excellency. ”

"Your Excellency Kurezerman is still with the Sacred Pool. ”

Istelle shook her head. Kurezeman had been kneeling at the Pillar of Light since the afternoon, but for some reason, the Lord God Sanin had not answered his prayers.

'Is that ......'

Gregory nodded noncommittally, and suddenly stared thoughtfully at Estelle, his stiff eyes also threatening: "Those intruders didn't hurt you, did they?"

"No, Your Excellency. ”

Istelle shook her head. "I was treating you when I was being held hostage from behind by another hidden enemy, and then I didn't know what magic had caused me to fall into a coma, and when I woke up, I found myself lying outside the door of the Great Temple, and I had no memory of what had happened in between. ”

“...... Is it. ”

Gregory nodded slowly, but the doubts in his heart widened. He and Estelle were also high-ranking members of the Temple of Radiance, and Estil was only thrown out of the door of the Great Sanctuary after falling unconscious, but what she got was a dagger in her heart!

There must be some reason for this.

In the next moment, Gregory's mind suddenly flashed Kurezerman's suspicion of Estelle's 'intuition', but he didn't say anything more, and after properly expressing his 'relief' that Estelle was safe, he walked slowly and stiffly towards his room.

"Oh, by the way, if Kurezeman ...... Your Excellency, when you have finished praying, could you please inform me as soon as possible?"

After walking a short distance, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and politely asked.

"No need. ”

No sooner had Gregory finished his sentence than a cold voice came from behind Estelle, and then Kurezerman, still dressed in Inquisitor attire and with eyes on his forehead, walked in with his characteristic steps. "My prayer has been completed. ”

"Your Excellency Kurezeman. ”

After stiffening for a second, Gregory scrupulously performed the greeting courtesy, albeit slowly—after all, it was still a relatively foreign movement to his current body.

"Are you alright, Gregory?"

Kurezeman's emotionless eyes glanced at the pale Gregory, and seemed to be a little concerned about his health: "I remember that those people have caused you very serious damage...... But now it looks like you're okay. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Kurezeman. Although I was indeed seriously injured, the treatment of the Holy Maiden of Estelle finally saved me from the last vestiges of life. ”

Gregory's expression was also faint. Not long ago, Kurezeman was his nominal subordinate, and almost in the blink of an eye, he became the superior being who succeeded Gastis, but he himself was given a dagger in the heart, and became a pathetic being between the dead and the living...... If there is not the slightest resentment, then how is it possible!

"That's great. ”

Kurezeman's emotionless voice said words of comfort, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Gregory's face, as if to see through his soul: "The strength of those people should not be underestimated, even Gastith suffered defeat under their joint plot, how can you deal with them alone for so long...... I'm really amazed at how strong you are. ”

"You've won a prize. ”

Gregory felt as if his face had turned white all at once—if his face could have been whiter. The ruthless butcher of Kurezeman, who did not speak of any humanity at all, and regarded all concealed actions as a sign of depravity, the threat in his words was almost overwhelming: "The elders have not only taught me powerful divine arts, but they have also given me enough wisdom. Those people, though powerful, are not a cohesive whole, and I suspect that some of them are from the Dark Realms—"

Anyway, the barrier of the Great Sanctuary has been destroyed by Kurezeman himself, and all the records have dissipated, and everything is dead and unconfirmed, even if he has any doubts, there is no way to confirm it.

"We'll talk about that later. ”

Just as Grigory was about to speak, Kurezeman waved his hand unceremoniously and stopped him from speaking: "I have something more important to inform you - it is an oracle from the Supreme Lord God Sanin. ”

“...... Yes, please command. ”

Gregory slowly clenched his unconscious fingers, but no expression leaked from his face, and he bent down respectfully, as if he was ready to hear the oracle.

“......”

Kurezeman didn't speak immediately, and his indifferent eyes silently turned to Estil, who was waiting beside him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Holy Estelle, Gregory is seriously injured, can you please go and ask them to bring a chair?"

He spoke in a cold tone, and Estelle shrank imperceptibly as if she had suddenly touched an ice cube, and only after a moment did she relent, lowered her gaze, and answered softly 'yes,' before turning and walking away quickly.

It's really leaving, not walking away for a distance like before and then cleverly turning back to eavesdrop. Kurezeman's gaze was like a dagger with a cold stinger, and her whole body trembled slightly, and she would rather miss out on what must have been extremely important information than stay near him for a second longer.

-- It's terrible.

She gripped her fingers, which were trembling uncontrollably, and walked away briskly without looking back.

......

"Something very special happened. ”

Looking at Estelle's rapidly disappearing back, Kurezeman spoke lightly, his voice not fluctuating much, as if he was just announcing some trivial news - but the words that came out of his mouth surprised Gregory, and he almost exclaimed: "While we were fighting the daring infidels, the supreme god Sanin sensed the breath of the alien god Byron and sent down the wrath of thunder...... However, the news now received is that the place where the Lord God sent down the divine punishment happened to be the Temple of Death of the Lord of Souls, Fahalu. ”

“......”

Gregory was unable to respond appropriately, and his thoughts suddenly became very confused - didn't Kurezeman's words mean if he analyzed them carefully...... The news that the Lord God had been tricked was so unbelievable that he would have even laughed out loud if he hadn't told him personally.

"When the Lord God heard the news, he was so angry that he did not answer my prayer for a long time. ”

Kurezerman briefly explained why it took so long, "Since there is no evidence to prove our words, the followers of Faharu may move their resentment on us, and we must mobilize all our forces to find the culprit before we can fight in full." ”

“...... Be. ”

Gregory opened his mouth several times, but could not find the right words, and finally just nodded and answered.

"We have limited time. ”

Kurezeman didn't seem to feel that the news was shocking at all, and his tone was still so flat: "So, maybe you have to work with your injuries until the elders arrive—I'm not good at healing and can't help you." ”

Presbyterian Church!

Gregory's heart sank, but there was nothing on his face. The elders will definitely heal their injuries when they come, if they don't handle it well...... Fortunately, without the Great Sanctuary's teleportation array, it would take them at least three days to get here, and they still have time.

"It's okay, I can hold it. ”

A smile appeared on the pale face of the young sage: "Could you please tell me more about what happened—"

"It's urgent, but you need to rest more now. ”

Kurezerman interrupted him, "A few hours of sleep are still available, otherwise if your injuries worsen before the elders arrive, we will waste more time." ”

“...... Since you say so, I'll go and take a break. ”

Gregory complied with his arrangement. He was indeed tired, not physically, but in soul - as a newborn lich, he had wasted a lot of unnecessary energy in the practice just now, and he already felt a little sluggish in his body.

Kurezeman nodded simply, and stood in place like a statue, watching Gregory leave at a slow pace.

......

"I know. ”

In the empty hall, he suddenly said lightly. After a moment of contemplation, he turned to leave.

What he has done lately has been too exciting, killing Sanin's Divine Son, ransacking his Great Sanctuary, and handily destroying the youngest Great Sage of Light in history - these things that he couldn't even think of before have been done by himself, although Doug has adapted to his new life, he still can't suppress the excitement, plus his divine body needs very little sleep, so the sun has just risen in the east, and Doug, who has only slept for two or three hours, got up again.

"The Temple of Death has been successfully destroyed by the grumpy Sanin, and the Great Sage of Light Gregory has also been killed by me, and there will definitely be a period of chaos in the future, so what should we do to be the most profitable?"

Doug's eyes were bloodshot, but he was in good spirits, and he was discussing the next steps with Linax - a lazy worm like Fifian or Fio, naturally it was impossible to get up at this time to talk to him.

"I want you to stop for a moment, after all, there are still more than twenty days left. ”

Linax pondered the words, and he could see that after successfully playing tricks on Sanin and taking revenge, his main god felt a little 'uncontrollable': "There are actually many accidental factors in this success...... And there will certainly be a lot of forces involved in the investigation from now on...... With our actual strength, it is better to be patient for the time being, and not to show any more traces......"

He made a rare long discourse, ready to convince Doug not to be hot-headed.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean that. ”

Doug smiled, "The reason why I consulted with you is to use your experience to choose the best course of action for us - since you think we are better off lurking now, then we should recuperate for a while." ”

Despite being the highest 'class' among these people, Doug still has a clear understanding of himself. Before the number of believers reaches a certain level, he is destined to be the weakest of these people, and it is never advisable to blindly exercise the authority of the Lord God, especially the opinion of Linax, who is the main combat force, must be carefully considered.

"I am glad you have chosen you, my Lord God. ”

Linax smiled gracefully and nodded. "Time will tell you wisely......"

The dragon lich seemed to hesitate for a moment, with a brief hesitation on his face, but soon his expression returned to calm: "Also, I have a gift for you. ”

Then, a mysterious smile appeared on his fair face, which seemed to have a bit of an indescribable taste, and he raised his hand to elegantly cut a small spatial rift, and took out a bone bottle from it: "This is it." ”

"Gift?...... What is it?"

Doug looked at the delicate bone container in his hand a little confused, it carried the usual gorgeous and quaint style of the dragon lich, more like a work of art, and Doug was very sure that this bottle could be exchanged for at least ten thousand gold coins at the auction house in Xi'an.

I shook it, and it seemed to contain some kind of liquid.

"A secret elixir from an ancient elven recipe. ”

Linax's smile became more and more mysterious: "It seems to be a wartime invention that can make an elf grow into a full-fledged warrior in just twenty years...... Although the lack of some materials that only elves have, the effectiveness is reduced, but according to this dose, it can already shorten the development period by six to eight years, that is, to be more detailed, it can make a ten-year-old childish girl quickly grow into an adult girl of about seventeen years old......"

"Oh......"

Doug understood, it turned out that this was the secret medicine that Fifian had secretly mentioned! I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect Linax to make it, wouldn't that mean ......

"Ahem, ahem. ”

The dragon lich coughed softly, and finally brought the imaginary Doug back to his senses.

"Thank you, Linax, I love this gift. ”

Doug's face was as usual, and with a skillful twist of his fingers, he magically took the bony bottle into his arms in an instant: "Since I have to rest, then I'm going to go to the newly built Tower of Overlooks for some breakfast...... Would you like to come along?"

"No, I'm not interested in food...... But remember to bring your money bag, Fifian's grandfather will definitely let you pay for the meal first. ”

The atmosphere became relaxed, Linax also made a little joke, Doug smiled, touched the bottle in his arms, and went to eat with a full imagination.

Linax stared at his back, a look of nostalgia appeared on his fair face, then smiled and glanced at Fio's room, and left indifferently.

......

It turns out that Linax definitely has the capital to be a prophet, and when Rabina @ Alement heard about Doug's intentions, he immediately put on the face of a profiteer, and prescribed a figure that was absolutely sky-high for breakfast, and in the face of such a fat sheep sent to the door, his snow-white beard trembled with joy - but he didn't stay proud for long, Doug said lightly. Keeping the account first', he choked him speechlessly, and walked away angrily, but the account still had to be kept, and in a fit of anger, he accidentally made a mistake with a digit, and it suddenly multiplied tenfold.

-- What if one day he could be caught and forced to pay the bills? The reconstruction of the Tower of Overlook cost a lot of gold, and now any income is precious! Mosquito legs are also meat, you say!

However, the magician's breakfast is ...... Alternative enough.

Doug looked at the slimy pile in front of him, and no matter how much he imagined, he couldn't connect it to food. Originally, it was suspected that Rabina's stinginess caused such a bad meal, but after asking the magic apprentices next to him, Doug learned that Rabina was really willing to spend money in this regard, and the apprentices who looked down on the tower were not eating too badly, but eating too well - this pile of mushy stuff contained a lot of expensive materials that could increase mana, keep the spirit up, and replenish the consumption of the brain, which could not only provide the magic apprentices with the nutrients they needed for a day, but also greatly benefited their meditation and magic growth- However, no matter how hard Doug tried, he could not get this "precious" lump of food into his mouth, which 'looked very much like the products made by the cattle in the countryside when they had bad stomachs', and in the end he gave up and drank some milk hastily.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

The apprentice next to him stared at Doug's untouched breakfast, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, his eyes clearly expressing 'admiration'. You know, even though Rabina was willing to let them eat such extravagant tonic food, it was a strict limit on the amount of food per person, and no one could take more than half a spoonful - what a cruel thing for a magical apprentice who longed for the growth of his magic power!

Doug raised his eyebrows, and without hesitation, pushed the whole plate of breakfast over, and the apprentice immediately smiled, as if he was afraid that Doug would regret it, and snorted and filled it violently, almost filling half of the plate.

"When did you come here to study magic?"

With the association of diarrhea in his head, Doug could only quickly find something to distract himself.

"Well, I think about it,"

The apprentice swallowed his food as he tilted his head and recalled, "When I was six years old, I was sent to the Magic Academy in the capital to study by chance when I was tested by chance at the Magic Guild in my hometown...... I guess I was about nineteen years old, and I was admitted as a junior magician, and I was still the first in the whole school! So my teacher recommended me to go to the Tower of Overlook for an apprenticeship, and it has been ten years now. ”

"Ten years, so long, you're still an apprentice?"

Doug asked casually.

"yes, who made this place full of talent! That is, in the Tower of Overlook, I can teach intermediate magic in other magic schools!"

The apprentice shook his head with a lot of feeling, turned his depression into food, and poured the remaining half of the plate directly into his mouth.

Teaching magic?

Doug's heart suddenly moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked the apprentice in a casual tone, "What kind of magical talent do you need to learn magic?"

"Talent?"

The apprentice's mouth was filled with food, and his voice was a little muffled: "It's hard to say, everyone is different, and some people with special physiques can even only specialize in one elemental magic...... However, there are basically two key elements that are necessary, that is, 'the ability to hold the magic element' and the 'ability to control the magic element', as long as you have these two basic elements, you can release magic!"

'Ability to hold magical elements' and 'Ability to control magical elements'......

Doug nodded unconsciously. He understands this meaning, just like if you want to collect debts, you not only have to have a guy, but also have to be able to use it smoothly, or if you accidentally give yourself a chance when the time comes, it will be a lot of fun.

"Then how do you test if you have magical talent?"

He asked a little eagerly.

"It's usually a test crystal ball. The apprentice replied without thinking, "--It is a simple device full of magic inside, and after the person being tested comes into contact with it, some magical elements will be introduced into the body, if you have talent, you can control them to make some simple changes, then you have magical talent!"

"Oh, got it, thank you. ”

Doug gave a rare thank-you, "Is there a crystal ball like this in the Tower of Overlook?"

"Yes, it was temporarily placed in the 'Between the Gazes' lab over there when it was rebuilt. ”

The apprentice replied in a low voice, "As soon as you enter, you can see - that head, almost taller than the house, is said to be a high-end item from the Dragon's Lair!"

"Got it, see you next time!"

Doug couldn't wait to stand up, "I'll give you breakfast then!"

"Really, it's decided!"

The magic apprentice shouted in surprise.

"Don't worry. ”

Doug agreed, and walked towards the 'between the gazes' he had just pointed out, with a subtle hint of excitement. Learning magic is probably a dream that every child has had, and he has had it, and the goal is precisely the Tower of Overview, and even for this goal, he naively secretly accumulates tuition fees one by one, hoping to go to the Tower of Overhead to learn magic - the cost of the Tower of Overhead is known to the whole world.

And now, this dream has inadvertently returned to his heart, in addition to his childhood wishes, there are also some more practical considerations, during this time, he has been very passive because he does not know magic, and it would be helpful if he could learn this knowledge anyway......
