On the avenue, Benedict II raised his hand to stop his men from following, and quickened his horse to catch up with Irene, who went hand in hand with Irene. Whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think Gray is different today?"

"It's a little, did you find anything?"

"That's not Gray?" said Benedict II's eyes widened, and his expression froze suddenly.

"Yes, that's not Gray, I'm all too familiar with Gray. Irene glanced sideways at Benedict II.

Lowering his voice, Benedict II asked, "What about ...... Where's the real Gray?"

"I don't know. ”

"Should we do something?" said Benedict II's eyes flickered, and he tensed.

"Don't do anything. ”

"Huh?"

"These legions of the undead are not fake. Only the White Bone Holy Light Holy See in this world can summon so many undead creatures. I think someone is pretending to be Gray, and the lich should know about it. But for what purpose, I don't know. I've asked him to ...... Asked this fake Gray to give me an answer. Let's wait and see. ”

With that, Ireen sped up her horse.

Benedict II also silently sped up his horse.

......

"The White Bone Holy Light Holy See is not strong, and I don't know how long this situation can last. The lichs relied on their original enthusiasm, which would have faded without their fathers. Maybe one day, they will find it boring. When the time comes, they will return to the Underworld, leaving us behind to face a group of enemies that we simply cannot handle. Humanity too, if they knew that their father was gone, would they still be able to maintain their current unity, and if the lich were gone and we faced a losing battle, would they still be there for us? I don't think anyone can give me an answer right now. ”

"There is only one path in front of me now. If I still want to avenge my father and bring comfort to my mother, then I must immediately go to war. Yes, immediately, otherwise I may not even have a chance for revenge. Not only that, but there is danger to me, my father, or everyone who has supported my father. I have to get everything sorted out before the worst happens!"

"But what should we do? Can we do it?" asked Delia.

"I'm glad you used the word 'we' instead of 'you'. Thank you for still standing by my side. Richie continued: "There's nothing you can't do, just put your mind to it, no matter the cost." The lichs already knew that something had happened to their father, and the humans didn't know yet. Now I have to find a way to stabilize everyone and move things the way I want!"

The lords are gone.

Leaving the hall, Richie hurried down the circular staircase. Delia and Sarina disappeared and quietly followed.

Along the way, Richie encounters several lichs, each of whom is stunned when he sees him. Or stand still in confusion, or quietly follow, observing from a distance.

Richie saluted silently, and hurried on his way.

Today, there are more than 400 lichs in this castle, and the lifeblood of the entire White Bone Holy Light Holy See is here. Chance encounters are an extremely normal thing. To the lords, he is "Gray", but to these lich uncles and aunts, he is still Richie.

After all, humans only have five senses, and lichs not only have five senses, but also breath. In front of these lichs, it was impossible for him to disguise himself as Gray.

Soon, Richie came to the door of the castle's basement, where two undead knights dressed in the armor of the Knights of the Silver Moon were standing.

Before Richie could knock, the door had already opened quietly.

Brutus, who had already sensed his arrival, stood inside and looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you make yourself like your father?"

There were already several lichs standing outside the door, all staring at Richie.

Walking into the gloomy basement, Richie whispered, "Uncle Brutus, I have something to ask you. Within the human race, there has been an anomalous behavior. ”

"Huh?"

All of a sudden, Brutus, and the few lichs standing outside the door, were stunned.

Richie said seriously, "We didn't inform them of our military movement at all, and they sensed something unusual. You know, humans are very cunning creatures, and they're not like us lichs. They always like to think wildly. Some of them even guessed that something had happened to their father. This will be a huge blow to the just cause. Especially when it comes to morale. Human beings are one of the creatures most affected by morale. ”

The lichs were all staring at Richie in a daze.

After a pause, Richie looked around at the few lichs gathered around him and continued, "We are still facing the powerful Black Dragons, and if there is turmoil within us, those despicable Black Dragons will definitely take advantage of it. In this way, my father's efforts and our efforts for a long time will be in vain. ”

One of the lichs raised his hand.

"Do you have any questions?" asked Richie.

The lich said suspiciously, "I don't really understand, why if something goes wrong with the human race, our efforts will be in vain? Aren't we the main force fighting against the black dragon? What does it have to do with the human race? Even if they don't fight, we can still defeat the black dragon." It's just a matter of time. ”

"No, it's not that simple. Rich said seriously: "The reason why we have come to this day is because of the unity of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See. If we hadn't been united, let alone the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, we wouldn't have been able to force back the Angel Legion when we were in Salted Fish Harbor. Do you agree with that?"

"It seems like this. The lichs nodded incredulously.

"But we're splitting right now. ”

"Is there one?"

"Remember last night? Last night's meeting, we couldn't even come to an agreement. I am sure that several of you are staunch, supporters of justice. ”

"Of course. ”

But not all of us are firmly committed to justice and to the Light. There are many who just enjoy the benefits of justice. If humanity knows that the Father is gone, if humanity is divided, if our actions are not celebrated, and all actions are greeted with negative feedback, then ...... How many of us will be shaken?"

All of a sudden, the lichs were stunned.

After a while, Brutus whispered, "You're right, I don't think Simon is as determined as I am." ”

The lichs present nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I don't think he's as firm as you. Rich hurriedly said, "But we can't just tell him that, or he'll be angry." At that time, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See will be split directly. There are many more people like Simon among us. I'm sure all of you here are the most determined, but I'm not so sure about the others. This is a crisis for us, and we must address it. In order to stabilize the human lords and avoid the split of the human race, which would lead to the split of the Holy See of the White Bone Light, I decided to disguise myself as my father. This approach has proven to be very effective. ”

The lichs present were stunned for a moment.

"Just now, I consulted with the human lords, and they want us to attack immediately. After all, the materials consumed by the human legion are very terrible, and they are almost unable to hold on. We need to cooperate with them, otherwise, even if we win the war, there will be no way to reap the fruits of victory. Because there is no one to take over the territory we have taken down. In that case, heaven and hell will have a chance. ”

The lichs haven't recovered yet.

After a long moment, Brutus summed up in a low voice, "So, in order to prevent a split, you disguised yourself as your father and deceived the human lords. ”

"Yes. Rich replied.

"And in order to achieve a true victory over the black dragon, we must launch an attack on the dragon at the request of the humans. Otherwise, we may not be able to master Gustav if we win?"

"Yes. Richie nodded: "I know that Uncle Brutus you were not very in favor of launching an attack on the Black Dragon Clan immediately, but the situation is quite special, I would like to ask Uncle Brutus for the sake of the righteous cause, a little grievance." Now, a just cause that is on the precarious track needs your support. Change your mind, not because you are weak, but for the sake of a just cause. ”

The lichs were silent, staring at each other.

Brutus thought with his head down.

Richie silently waited for Brutus' reply.

After a long while, Brutus nodded emphatically: "Of course, I am very willing to change my decision for the sake of a just cause." I am a partner in justice. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Brutus. I thank you on behalf of all righteous partners. Richie bowed. Looking at the other lichs, Richie continued, "Now I have to convince Simon of them. You know, a lot of them are not committed enough to the cause of justice, and it will be incredibly difficult to convince. Also, I hope that you will not be too insistent on your views at the meeting. After all, as long as we are united, we will win, and stubbornness will only divide us. The current White Bone Holy Light Holy See can only rely on you. We must hold on to the fruits of our father's life. ”

"Of course, we'd love to do that. Several lichs shrugged their shoulders: "We are partners in justice, and now the White Bone Holy Light Holy See can only rely on us." Is it up to Simon to them?"

After a silent salute, Richie turned to leave.

As he was leaving, he heard a few lichs whispering.

"Oh my God, I didn't even know we were so dangerous now. I thought we could beat them anyway. ”

"No way, there are too many people in our team who are not determined, and I know several. ”

"So we should be more united. ”

......

Soon, Richie came to Simon.

"Uncle Brutus's faith in justice is not strong. ”

"Yes, I saw that. ”

This unfirmness of his is easily exploited by heaven and hell. So, I hope that Uncle Simon will stand firmly on the side of justice, and that we will try to preserve the fruits of my father's life. ”

"I'm more than happy to be on the side of justice. ”

"So, I hope Uncle Simon doesn't quarrel with anyone else anymore, we need to be on the same page. Five fingers clenched and punched out, even if it missed, it wouldn't be good. But if the fingers are not united and they are hit, even if they are hit, they will break their bones. ”

"Uh...... You mean I'm going to listen to Brutus?"

"No, not really. I mean it's time for you to pay for what is right. If you don't agree, our business will be ruined. ”

"Hmm...... Well, if my contribution is really that important, I'd love to. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Simon. I thank you on behalf of all righteous people. ”

Immediately afterward, Richie rushed to the next location.

......

"Uncle Grassley......"

......

"Aunt Erin......"

......

"Uncle William......"

......

"Uncle Green......"

......

"Uncle Barbouti ......"

Rich convinces them one by one.

Sarina whispered, "You're creating a virtual panic. ”

Richie replied softly, "It's not virtual, it's a possibility." I'm just exaggerating a little. ”

"But what you say to everyone is different, and even, it was you who asked the human lord to march immediately, not the human lord who asked for an immediate march. They are ready for a long fight. ”

"I'm just using them as an excuse. I need a reason, 'I think', 'I feel', these are obviously unconvincing statements. ”

"You're also creating some level of antagonism?"

"I'm just putting them in competition. ”

"If you persuade each of them to give glory to them that they don't have an opinion, won't that be your opinion left?"

The moonlight shone obliquely through the window.

Ridge didn't answer, just lowered his head and flipped through the information Gray had left behind, and busied himself with his own thoughts.

"You and your father are completely different. Sarina then said in Richie's mind, "This practice is more like a demonic method. And you are prepared to use it to sustain a righteous cause. To be honest, I was a little surprised. ”

"There is no distinction between good and evil means, only those who use means can have good and evil. Richie pulled out a letter alone, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and whispered, "Well, I don't want to discuss this with you. There was still a lot to do, and I had to imitate my father's handwriting and tone to write a letter to my mother, or she might think too much. ”

"What about Duke Beshir, aren't you going to answer her question today?"

"No, you don't. I couldn't answer her, and I couldn't hurt her. At the same time, she did not have any evidence. I just need to keep silent. There are a lot of troubles now, and there are more troubles than this one. ”

"Okay. ”

Bowing his head, Richie began to write carefully. I didn't write several sheets in a row, and a pile of waste paper was thrown out of the paper basket next to me.

The guardian angel Delia leaned against the edge of the desk, cupped her cheeks, and watched silently.
