Chapter 81: Rumors of the Lich
The huge turquoise gourd, flying happily in the sky, flying up and down, happy.
All the dead creatures, without the slightest struggle, were in good order, one after another, lined up and flew towards the mouth of the gourd.
Outside the city of Mikay, the endless army of dead creatures disappeared row after row as if they were being harvested by a large agricultural harvester!
And the lich himself, because his current body is composed of the bones of dead creatures, is also subjected to an unusually strong suction, and in desperation, he has no choice but to use the wizard secret art he learned in his previous life to stimulate his will and abandon his body to escape!
"The back side of the light is the eternal darkness, and the back side of death is the brilliant rebirth, giving up my body today for the soul of tomorrow, the will of the lich, which will live forever!"
In the sound of the incantation, all the crystalline bones of the lich body turned into powder inch by inch, and the will of the lich, on the contrary, became more and more vigorous, and the burning will of the lich made its soul able to travel through time and space in an instant, and reach the location of its own life box.
With the loss of all the bones of the lich and the soul of the lich, the wide gray cloak finally lost its support, and slowly slid to the ground, and there was nothing left under the cloak!
In a few breaths, in the field outside Mikay City, there was not a single dead being, and the entire army of death was sucked into the gourd's stomach by the jasper gourd, and disappeared from this world forever.
The jasper gourd then instantly became smaller, and in the process of becoming smaller, he suddenly accidentally burped, and then revealed a pair of small eyes from the surface of the gourd, glanced out secretly, and then showed an embarrassed smile, and then disappeared from mid-air, and became the size of a thumb again, and the jasper gourd was hung on Jiang Yan's belt.
"Wow, that's interesting!"
Little Lola is clearly interested in the green gourd.
Jiang Yan is very proud!
"Look at Xiaoyu is fun, you still don't believe it!"
Half a month later, the entire plague area was purified by the personnel of the Enlightenment Church, and the disaster on the Balaton continent completely dissipated.
The tasks of the adventure squad are also completed at the same time. Because the task as a whole far exceeded the initial level, the honorarium paid by the Qiming Church to Wen Jiming in the end reached a total of 8,500 gold taluns.
On the first night of Wen Jiming's departure, the two bishops hosted a banquet for all the members of the War Angels Squad.
Towards the end of the banquet, the supervising bishop specially told Wen Jiming about the results of the investigation of the plague by the Qiming Church.
"You mean, the priest of the dead god did it?"
Wen Jiming was very surprised by the results of this survey.
"Hasn't that god been dead for more than a thousand years? How long would his human priests live? ”
The Inspector gave the answer.
"That priest is no longer human, he has turned himself into a lich."
Wen Jiming's eyes lit up suddenly.
Lich, this name is often seen on Earth, whether it is in games, movies, animations or novels, the lich represents a very powerful character, but this is the first time I have heard this name in another world.
Wen Jiming was very curious, so he said.
"It's the first time I've heard the word lich, can you tell me more about it?"
The supervising bishop is clearly a good teacher.
"Some people who are crazy about magic or witchcraft, in order to pursue eternal life or other purposes, they use black magic and necromancy, or evil witchcraft, to transform into undead creatures."
"They sealed their hearts and brains alive with a secret method, and kept them in a container that only he knew to keep them alive to ensure that they would never die."
"If the container where they put their hearts and brains is not destroyed, they will never be truly destroyed, and even if the body they are using now is destroyed, they will still find another body to continue to survive."
"Of course, there are also some lichs that are caused by magical accidents, and I know one of these mages myself."
The story of this lich is obvious, and it is similar to what is popular on earth.
Wen Jiming continued to ask.
"So this dead god priest, turned himself into a lich, and then created a plague?"
The supervising bishop continued.
"Based on the information we've gathered, and from some secret organizations, this lich is supposed to be the gray-clad priest of the former god."
Still a senior peer! Wen Jiming was even more curious. Listen more and more carefully to the bishop's lectures.
"According to some records, this gray-clothed priest has a very high rank, and if that god is not destroyed, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the legendary profession and become a red-clothed high priest."
"It is rumored that he will also use very advanced wizard spells, and it is also for this reason that he uses secret methods to turn himself into a lich, he is not acting alone, from what we found not long ago, several on-site analysis of the ceremony of summoning undead creatures, there should be quite a few of them."
"Fortunately, the divine spell has a suppressive effect on the undead, and your lady's magic weapon, so they will fail, otherwise with their professional level, it would be easy to deal with us."
So it was, Wen Jiming completely understood at this time that the other party's level was obviously much higher than his own, why he was so vulnerable.
Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Lady Luck, although Wen Jiming has not discovered that there is such a god in another world.
The next words of the supervising bishop had a considerable shock to Wen Jiming.
"But this time I owe a great favor to the priest, because I reckon I might become a legend soon!"
Wen Jiming couldn't believe his ears!
"If I'm not mistaken, you're at the peak of the Eleventh Order now, right?"
The overseer rejoiced in his affirmation.
"That's right, because of this merit, after I go back, I will be promoted to the twelfth rank, and then I will be promoted to two more levels because of the merits of your godhead and priesthood!"
"Why?"
"Because the gods don't want to owe favors to mortals, especially those who are favored by the gods."
"No one knows the gods better than the people in our church, who make order, and for the sake of this order they take more seriously, keep their promises, and if a mortal brings them a real good, they must give back to that mortal, and a certain good in return."
"It's like Priest Wen's own adventures, it's because you have made the gods more powerful, so you will continue to advance bizarrely."
I'm going to go! I see!
It turns out that after I came to the other world, through some changes to the other world, these gods have been enlightened and their abilities have been enhanced, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
The overseer is grateful.
"So, Priest Wen, your favor is too great, don't worry, as long as you don't violate the principle, I will help you, otherwise, I will always feel guilty about you in my heart."
"It's the same with the bishop of the parish, so he'll be especially careful about your weeping sap business. This is what he asked me to make his attitude clear to you, and the affairs of your academy will be taken care of by me, and I will organize the people as soon as I go back, and then I will personally lead them to your territory. ”
Wen Jiming was very happy.
"That's really good, Bishop, you are a very worthy person, and you will be my friend of Wen Jiming in the future."
The overseer smiled heartily.
"It's an honor!"
The two men's wine glasses clinked together in a pleasant sound.
The land of the gods in March is full of the breath of spring, and the adventurous mercenary guild in Kansa City is still as lively as ever.
Wen Jiming was alone and came to the counter of the union settlement task for the third time.
When the trade union official picked up the document handed over by Wen Jiming and read it carefully, he showed a rather surprised look.
"So you're the young magical priest?"
Wen Jiming himself was stunned.
"Am I that famous now?"
The union official was happy and said with a smile.
"Not only is it famous, you can simply publish a biography! Three missions, earning a reward that others can't earn in a lifetime! ”
So that's the case, Wen Jiming thought that his glorious deeds had been spread all over the land of the gods, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he still said very politely.
"There, there, that's just good luck, it's an exaggeration!"
The official laughed.
"The records in black and white will not be fake, but this evaluation, because your team has made a great contribution to this plague epidemic, has been judged by the elite team, congratulations to you, Priest, your salary will be increased by twenty percent from today."
Wen Jiming was also overjoyed when he heard this, but he still asked about things he didn't know.
"What is the difference between this elite squad and an ordinary adventure squad?"
The union officials began to patiently introduce the common sense of the elite squad to Wen Jiming.
"First of all, the honorarium of the elite team is more, and then in the future, you will be exposed to some more challenging tasks, and the union will ask you if you want to accept it as soon as possible after the evaluation, and then it will be hung on the task hall for publicity, that is, you can set the task in the first time!"
"And the most important one, the leader of the elite squad, can watch all the intelligence materials and books collected by the union over the years in the union's archive, and can copy them after paying for them, if you need more knowledge in terms of professionals, the benefits of this to your knowledge accumulation can be imagined."
can actually be qualified to go to the library of the adventure mercenary union, Wen Jiming was overjoyed!
