(42) September (Lily Nono, V)

Earl Stark...... Huruman Stark, the culprit who caused the war a hundred years ago? Isn't it destroyed, or is it ...... In fact, it is just pretending to be dead, so as to wait for some time to cause chaos on the continent again?

No, it doesn't matter, it's what it plans to do now, and how she's going to get out of her current situation-

September tried to think about it, but couldn't think of a way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The info lich grabbed her waist with her withered hands and picked the girl up in an odd pose. Then it opened its mouth and silently chanted the incantation.

A black cloud enveloped the two of them, and she felt dizzy, and by the time her vision returned, her surroundings had completely changed.

Towering sequoiates surrounded her, her bare torso still straight, but withered and decayed. The snow beneath his feet was gray and black, as if it had been stained with old stains that could not be washed off. There was a cold smell in the air, and there was silence all around, without a hint of wind. In the distance, there was a strange sound of Suosuo, and the occasional hoarse chirp, but it was not any of the birds and beasts she was familiar with.

She had guessed where it was, but didn't want to believe it.

The lich seemed to read her thoughts, and with a hint of complacency, said, "How does it feel to be back home, Lord Sage of Nature?" ā€

Her heart was like a mess, and she wanted to ask for an explanation, but she couldn't make a sound. So she tried to look away, ignoring it.

The lich seemed to find it boring to go on like this, and with a few finger strokes, it caused the ground to rise, forming a rocky cage and throwing September into it. Then, pointing at the maiden with its withered index finger, it silently chanted something.

The girl noticed that the numbness of her face and tongue gradually subsided, and the rest of her body remained immobile.

She turned her head and surveyed her surroundings again. Through the stumps of the trees, she could see something moving in the distance, but she couldn't tell the race of the other.

"What do you want?" She steadied herself and turned her head to stare at the lich.

"The power within your body...... Very powerful. The red light in its eyes jumped, and it opened its mouth to reveal a silent laugh, "Me...... I will make you my undead acolyte, guarding this place forever...... That should be what you're looking for, right? "But before that, don't you want to know how I found you?" ā€

The girl looked at it silently and did not reply.

"That companion of yours...... Is it called Pfister? The lich sneered, "He recklessly broke into the Desert of the Revenant, and when I grabbed him and threatened him, he told me everything...... Sure enough, human beings are always greedy for life and afraid of death. ā€

She tries to determine whether the lich's words are true or false - but to no avail, the other party is more powerful than her. She didn't think the young man would betray her, but she was simply worried about his safety.

"Well, in return for being my subordinate, I can grant you a wish." The lich whispered, "Tell me, what do you want, the head of the Elnar...... Or the tongue? ā€

September looked at it with a smile and shook her head calmly, "Those don't make sense." What we want...... Wine, meat, and stories. ā€

The lich was visibly stunned for a moment, then immediately regained his composure. He turned his head and spread his hands, "There's no wine or meat here, so ...... Tell me what story you'd like to hear. ā€

The girl narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her pupils, "Ru...... How did you get this place? ā€

"A boring story." The lich waved his hand like a fly, "I have brought here those souls who have died with resentment, and I have used them to create new resentments. It is a never-ending cycle of reincarnation, and I have succeeded in proving that the Kamals, the Elnahs, the Berons, the Ites, and the Fritzes all forget the lessons of the past because of immediate interests or disputes. Rather, from the very beginning, human beings have been "failed works" created by the gods...... Isn't it? ā€

"We don't want to hear that from you." She coldly interrupted the lich, "Let's ask you, where are our companions who used to live here?" ā€

The lich chuckled under his breath, "That's another story, and it doesn't make much sense to you. After all, it won't be long before you will be my faithful servant, and you will never remember those wretched creatures again. ā€

"Enjoy the rest of your life." It turned, walked deeper into the forest, and suddenly turned around, "Oh no, you're going to have eternal life. Just yourself...... I can't feel it for myself. ā€

The lich is gone. September sighed inwardly and tried to use his will to restore his body's mobility, but to no avail. The instinct to incarnate all things is also bound by magic in the depths of her body, trapping her in her current form.

As the minutes ticked by, the air was colder after dark, but it wasn't much to her. In the distance, there seemed to be a ghostly figure, walking through the decaying forest, emitting a dark light.

"Hey, you!" She tried to call out to them, "Come here, let us see who you are!" ā€

They didn't pay attention. Maybe it's because I can't understand her, maybe it's because ...... They are nothing more than delusions of maidens.

She turned her head in disappointment, only to find that the air was rippling not far away. She opened her eyes wide and saw a flash of starlight, and two figures appeared in front of her out of thin air.

One is Pfister, and the other is a huge white bear with a body length of more than ten meters - named Bai Li, who calls himself Uncle Bai and is one of her companions who has a good relationship.

The white bear approached with small steps, and with a seemingly fluttering slap, he half-opened the rock cage that had trapped her. The young man quickly picked her up and laid her flat on the white bear's broad back.

"Thou ...... What a fool, you just want to die? The girl complained in a low voice, but there was some warmth in her heart, "Speaking of which, what is the matter that you have been deceived by that lich?" ā€

"Huh?" The young man touched his head, completely unable to understand, "After I left you, I went to try to inquire about the whereabouts of your companion, and luckily met Shiro...... Sir, you haven't encountered any lichs at all? He jumped on the back of the white bear, "Get out of here first, please, Mr. Bai!" ā€

A green ray of light fell from the sky, striking the white bear's body, preventing it from attempting to teleport away.

"It's really affectionate and righteous, it doesn't look like a 'normal person' anymore." The lich's voice came from the air, full of mockery, "Such a man...... I'm afraid it's better to die.,It's a good material for a good servant.怂 ā€

Young people scoffed at this. He took off his longbow and jumped from the white bear's back to the ground, then drew two arrows from his quiver and put them on the string.

"Mr. Bai, you leave with September, and I'll leave it here." He kept a close eye on the lich's every move, without looking back, and his words were full of confidence, "As for you, I will take September's account, and I will have to settle the matter with you!" ā€
