"The essence of the nezumi plague? really, you have paid so much and spent so much just for the essence of the plague?" said the lich, confused, apparently not trusting the cheese's excuse. However, the caster's values about things are already strange, and coupled with the mage's previous foreshadowing, the lich actually believes three points in addition to the seven points of doubt. So it continued, "But whether you tell the truth or not, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." ”

Cheese's heart tightened, "Why do you say that, don't you know the whereabouts of the original liquid?" According to the information obtained by the mage from the previous transaction with the devil, this lich's position in the whole event is far more important than it appears, not to mention the plague that is responsible for spreading the Iron Keep, and even the destruction of the Saron Territory has its share of credit. This led Cheese to believe that if anyone knew the whereabouts of the plague liquid, the undead in front of him was the most likely one.

"Whereabouts, of course I know, this kingdom, no, the last bottle of the rat-man plague in this world, I am responsible for destroying it. There was a hint of schadenfreude in the lich's voice, it was barely expecting to kill the mage here completely, so it would be a revenge to let Cheese suffer a little blow.

"Say, what!" Cheese turned, trying to grab the other's body, but two unrelated souls could not hurt each other, and his hand was blocked by the unintentional force at a distance of one step from the other.

Maybe the mage was too excited, and although the lich knew that he wouldn't be hurt here, he still subconsciously distanced himself from Cheese. It spreads its hands and uses its body movements to express its emotions. "You know, it's all the broker's orders. And that's not hard to understand, isn't it? Only the moment the antidote is destroyed, does the poison become truly deadly. Brokers never do loss-making business, and all the possibilities that might make him plan to abort have been disposed of in advance by him. What happens in this kingdom is not just a terrible joke or a kidnapping that threatens the lives of all its inhabitants, the broker does not need a ransom from mortals, he is plotting something that we cannot understand. ”

Cheese was silent, vaguely able to guess that whatever the broker was up to, it must have something to do with the collapse of the Molten Iron City. At the same time, the news that the original liquid in the lich's mouth was no longer there also made the mage very stunned, the broker, wasn't he afraid that the spread of the nezumi plague would become a disaster that would sweep the whole world, and finally completely change the face of the world? Even after the adjustment of the human pharmacist, the rat-man plague cannot be said to have lost its destructive power.

Or is the broker just a madman in the guise of a businessman? In fact, he doesn't care if he's profitable or not, as long as things are interesting enough to satisfy him? No, it's impossible. Cheese is well aware that while there is no shortage of such individuals who act purely for the sake of pleasure among humans and other intelligent races, the Broker is never one of them, and he and his ilk often make ordinary people think that many things are just their interests, but that is often just preparation for long-term interests that mortals cannot understand. Not to mention the broker's methods, which are heartfelt and awe-inspiring to the devil, must have been fully prepared for the most complete change, and nothing will surprise him...... No. What about me?

"Alright, now that you've got what you want to know, let's get out of here and finish what we're supposed to have done a long time ago. If you have any life-saving spells, use them right away. If not, I can only say sorry. Seeing that Cheese had no plans for the next step for a long time, the lich spoke. There is no time in the soul space, so while the two of them have said such a long thing here, in the real world time is still stuck in the moment when the lich's hand is inserted into the chest of Cheese. And although I don't know what method the mage used to forcibly drag himself here, the price he has to pay must be not small. The Lich is now less sure of killing Cheese than it was at the beginning, so it wants to end it as soon as possible and trigger the Mage's life-saving spell to let him go so that the Lich can continue its actions on its own.

"That's not going to work. Unexpectedly, Cheese shook his head, he looked at the enemy in the pure white space, and shook his head. "I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just, well, I don't want to just quit the game, and I don't want to lose those guys. Do you know how much trouble it is to find these people who deserve me to fight alongside them among so many stereotypes? I don't want to take the time to do it again. So, unfortunately, I can't let you out like that. ”

The blue flame in the lich's eye socket swelled violently, and the hostility it had just dissipated rose again, "Heh, there's no point in you doing this, you and I both know it. There's no way you're going to hurt me here, and while I don't know how long you'll be able to last this spell, it'll be over, will it? And how long will the time go out there? a second or two? It's just a waste of energy. ”

"That's true. Cheese nodded, and judging by his expression, the mage seemed to fully agree with his enemy's words. "I really can't hurt you here, and I really can't change the situation after I get out. So, I'm going to do what you said before. Well, you know, that's what you said before, scare you to death. After speaking, Cheese reached out and grabbed a part of the pure white space, and the white world, which was not far or near up and down, instantly felt real with his pull, and those white backgrounds surrounded the two like the curtain of the stage, and in the mage's hand, it was the rope that pulled it apart. "I can't release this energy right now, but it doesn't make a difference for you to see it in my soul. Have fun. ”

After saying this, Cheese revoked the spell that shielded his heart, and he knew very well how many things in his own memories that existed outside the world were completely incomprehensible to the inhabitants of this world. At least in the Grey Tower, in addition to his normal research, even his teacher, Clark, the Lord of the Grey Tower, had to be cautious when spying on those things. There had been a scoff at Cheese's research, but when the man went to the Master's lab himself, he never saw Cheese again. The craziest guy in the Grey Tower, it's not for nothing that he can get this title.

Time has no meaning in the soul, and when Cheese returns to reality, the dark blue arm on his chest is gone. To be precise, the blue fire that filled the entire crypt disappeared as if it didn't exist. All that was left in the air was an unusually cold coldness that proved what had just happened. The lich's bones landed on the pile of bones beside the mage, and like the other dry bones, there was no abnormality to be seen. Not far away, Jack and the others were surprised by the sudden change, and at this time, they all had ecstatic expressions on their faces when they saw the mage pat the earth and stand up as if he was nothing. It doesn't matter to them how Cheese defeated the Lich, what matters is that they have won again.

"Did the soul just collapse? The mage muttered and kicked the lich's skull, he no longer felt any magic from the skeleton beneath his feet. Although it is somewhat exaggerated to show his memories to the other party to directly cause the soul of a lich to collapse, but it is true, and Cheese has to accept it.

"Is it dead?" said Heather, who had been the least wounded, put his arm around Atticus's shoulder, and Jack and Lothar, who were farther away, supported each other and walked towards him. "Strictly speaking, it's long dead. But, yes, I guess it's just some bones now. Cheese smiled at his companion, even though he could faint at any moment.

"It's unbelievable that we almost got killed by a skeleton. The wolfwalker said, kicking the lich's skull far away. "Let's hurry up, I don't want to fight the ghouls up there again. The Count stopped Jack from venting his anger, and he looked worriedly at the roof of the crypt, where the Edward ghouls in the cemetery could treat them even worse without the old man leading the way.

Cheese nodded, leaning against the wall with one hand, trying to suppress the dizziness in his head, and walked to the front of the team and stepped up the stairs. But he didn't take a few steps before he stopped. "No......" The mage didn't bother his surprised companions behind him, but pushed them away to look into the depths of the bone-strewn crypt. There, the breath that had just disappeared suddenly ignited, like firewood hiding the kindling, and it rekindled when the wind blew.

"What's wrong?" Lothar asked, a little confused, not noticing that the expressions of Jack and Heather beside him had changed, and they both sensed something from their own path. "Run, run, run out of here!" the mage suddenly shouted to the people around him. At the same time, a faint blue light was flickering in the darkness.
