The lich hung up, just hung up, very clean, very thorough, left no soul, no body, not a little dross, this is the ultimate annihilation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You really, really killed him, huh?"
Weisi was greatly discouraged, the word stunned was not enough to describe her expression at this time, and even her words were a little stumbling, Ye Guyun's crispness, decisiveness, ruthlessness, and the abrupt change that no one could guess violently impacted her three views, and she felt incredible.
"As you can see. ”
Ye Guyun's answer was very brief, he was leaning over and picking up the scattered fragments of the life box. Each of these pieces is made of precious stones and precious materials, and they are worth a lot of money.
Weiss was speechless, stunned, and after a long time, she asked again, "Don't you think...... Well, personal likes and dislikes aside, I think it seems to have some truth in what it says, especially in the last few sentences...... Y-What do you think?"
"Makes sense, where does it make sense?" Ye Guyun's face once again showed a sneering smile that Weiss was very familiar with, "Isn't it still a bastard?" or the so-called 'people don't offend me, I don't offend people'?"
Ye Guyun shook his head.
"Please, you have to know, who gave it the capital that 'no one will offend me', and who allowed it to be the king of the mountain here?"
"Nope!"
"So everything it says is bullshit!"
"This can only be the town of Advance Fort under the Dominion of Crescent City, and its lord is only one, and that is your father, who is the Governor of the Dominion, the Lord of Crescent City, the Grand Duke of Josephine, and the head of the House of Ashlon!"
"Within the territory, no outsiders are allowed to go wild!"
"That's the biggest premise!"
"Miss, you have to recognize your position. ”
Ye Guyun reprimanded Weisi sentence after sentence, just like ...... Adults reprimand children, and teachers reprimand students.
Surprisingly, Weiss did not refute fiercely, you know, according to her usual temper, even if she is wrong, she only accepts advice and never bears criticism, this is a cat that can only be touched, with natural pride, and does not tolerate the slightest disobedience. And at this moment, she just lowered her head and didn't say a word.
After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes were much clearer, and the familiar ones reappeared, and she asked again, "I just think it'......s a pity, don't you think?"
"Money, treasures?" Ye Guyun glanced at Weisi with a strange expression, "Do you think it's necessary for me to think about this?"
Weiss was dumbfounded, at this time she realized that she had missed a very important point, the other party was not an ordinary person, he may be the Northland, no, even the person in the world who does not need to think about money!
And, obviously, reasonably! No need to discuss! This guy can't just make money by tinkering with recipes!
This...... Hey, everything is most afraid of comparison, once compared, the money that ordinary people seem to be extremely envious and difficult to refuse that the lich has accumulated for a long time is really not a particularly powerful temptation in front of this guy.
Hmmm? Not true!
Stunned, Vess suddenly remembered a detail, and immediately felt that all the inferences were fallacious.
"Damn! Fooled by this guy!"
"Since you don't need money, what are you doing with those life box fragments? Don't tell me that you also have plans to refine magic tools!"
"Don't waste. Ye Guyun replied calmly and confidently, "Wealth is accumulated bit by bit, and only by understanding this truth can you be qualified to become a qualified miser, ah no! So even the richest man in the world will not refuse an easy windfall. ”
“......”
"These are all cash," Ye Guyun shook a ruby in his hand and glanced at Weiss seriously, "Many times, cash may be more valuable than any huge potential wealth. ”
“......”
"Very good! The harvest is good, the money bag has finally got rid of the shriveled ...... temporarily," Ye Guyun muttered to himself.
“......”
"I'll have to clean this place carefully in the future, and make sure to find all the lich's treasures. Hmph, you know, the spell obstacle set up by the lich can't bother me......" Ye Guyun said coldly.
"Even if it's hidden in a half-plane that only it knows?" Vess retorted.
"Well, I really can't help that. ”
Faith was silent again, but this time the silence was for the next outburst, and now that she had come back to it, she knew that she had been misled. With a deep tone, she said angrily, "Please! Stop using this clumsy performance to avoid the essence of the problem! You don't know that the point is not in the lich at all, but in the lich itself! Compared to the lich, that wealth is just bullshit! I just want to know why you are dealing with it this way! What are you avoiding in this way? Is this question so difficult to answer?"
Ye Guyun put away all the expressions on his face, turned back to the most common poker face again, and replied lightly and helplessly: "It's not difficult." ”
"Well, answer me. ”
Ye Guyun didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Is the lich a bastard?"
"There is no doubt about it. Weiss replied.
"That's the reason," after dropping such an answer, Ye Guyun turned around and walked out of the hole, and the follow-up voice was still floating, "I hate it, that's all." ”
Such an answer......
Sounds perfunctory......
But Weiss believed it. Because she caught a trace of imperceptible irritability and disgust that suddenly flashed on Ye Guyun's face, it was a real emotion.
「...... Is it a resurgence of mood sickness?...... That lich is a bad luck bastard, and he must have said something by accident and touched one of the guy's sensitivities......
............
Somewhere on a high slope outside the fort, here is one of the three watchtowers that the Church has set up on the periphery of this murderous field.
Verry and Verari were now slumping unmoved on the floor of the tower, exhausted and covered with gold, a physical reaction they hadn't felt for a long time.
And behind them, a dried corpse lay down. The dry corpse was draped in a well-conditioned robe, judging by its style, material and ornamentation, but it was an ordinary genus, and its owner did not have too high a status. Outside the robes, there was a loop of rope that was supposed to hold the limbs and body firmly, but now it was loose, presumably because the full body had withered and shrunk into a dry corpse.
There was no longer any blood or moisture on the corpse's body, and the shriveled and hard skin was tightly clinging to the skeleton, with countless wrinkles and cracks, which looked extremely terrifying. Notably, there are two bloody holes in the major arteries of its neck that appear to have been made from long canine teeth.
Naturally, it is not difficult to guess the identity and origin of this dried corpse, it is clearly one of the low-level priests who reside in this tower and is responsible for operating the components of the magic circle, and the reason why he became a dry corpse is undoubtedly the work of two vampires.
Originally, the vampires didn't want to kill any of the low-level priests, although their strength was insignificant, but these people belonged to a church of good gods with a large number of followers, and slaughtering them at will would make the relationship between the organization and several good god churches that was not harmonious and only barely maintained a neutral state of disconnection on the verge of breakdown, if it was not necessary, it was really not worth the effort for them.
(Actually, the relationship was destined to break down after taking out Kent, but it was not planned, it was just an improvisation, and they could also blame the lich for Kent's death)
But the status quo makes this necessity a reality.
Viri, who had lost a large amount of blood from a broken arm, was undoubtedly seriously injured, and it was in desperate need of replenishment, not expecting to recover, but only hoping to slow down the injury and prevent it from further deterioration.
"Why?" the expression on Verari's face was extremely complicated, perhaps it didn't know what kind of emotions it was, "Why did you want to help me block that sword? Do you know that you have already injured the origin......? You're not going to be able to improve again!......"
"You will never even be able to go back to where you were before today. Verri said what he didn't say for Verari.
"You know what that means in the Order!" said Verari.
"The strength of stagnant means that the position of stagnant is stagnant, and instead of advancing and retreating, it means that it will be replaced by more and more latecomers, and eventually ...... Marginalization. Verry replied casually.
"Why?" asked Verari again.
"If I don't save you, you will die, and only one will remain, and 'we' will become 'me'; Verry's expression was very calm, as if he was stating something from the sidelines, not at all like he had lost an arm because of it.
"Nonsense! I won't die! I can get out of the way!" Verari's face turned red, perhaps genuinely angry, but more likely annoyed.
"Okay, okay, you're not going to die, but you have to admit that with that sword, you're at least going to be what I am now. Verry looked at his companion earnestly, solemnly, "You must give that brilliant blow the respect it deserves!"
"Hmph!" Verari shook his head, apparently acquiescing.
Verry smiled and continued, "In this case, they are all cripples, and I think it is better to replace them with cripples." At least I can mix well with a good mind if I'm wasted, and if you're wasted, you'll be really wasted. ”
"If you want to laugh at me for being stupid, just say it. Verally replied sullenly, silent for a long time, and added, "From now on, I will cover you!"
"Hahaha!" Vicri laughed, "Isn't it?
There was silence again in the tower.
The two guys looked different and didn't know what they were thinking.
After a few more moments, Verry said, "Have you rested enough?"
"I should ask you that. Verari replied.
"Well, it's time for us to go back, and we must tell Your Excellency President what happened today...... We're in a big trouble that we shouldn't have gotten into before! Perhaps, our layout in Crescent City needs to be put on hold, or even ...... Give it all up. ”
The rare, such dejected words did not cause any resentment in Villari, in other words, he also agreed with this extremely pessimistic view, it seems that Ye Guyun's strength left a very deep impression on him, and the powerlessness against him still ruled his nerves - if vampires also had nerves.
"Somebody's coming!"
Villari suddenly whispered, he heard some noises coming from far outside the tower, and carefully recognized it as Frank and the black and white bears who had exited the fort early. Of course, most of what Verally heard was Frank's gushing scolding, and the black and white bear was mostly silent, only occasionally agreeing a few words.
Needless to say, with the current state of Viri and Verari, it is absolutely impossible to beat the upcoming three, so they decisively chose the wisest thing to do - flee immediately.
So, when Frank and his party walked into the watchtower, all they could see was the dried corpse lying on the ground.
