Chapter 426: Departure
Janet reclined on the chaise longue with only a thin blanket covering almost nothing. The fatigue of the journey has long since disappeared, and now it is another fatigue that takes over her body.
But her heart was full of energy, and she was still immersed in boundless happiness.
Siegel kicked aside the pillow that stood in his way, poured Janet a full glass of wine, and carefully warmed it up with magic. Considering the physical exertion of the intense exercise, he ordered the minion golem to go to the kitchen to get some sweets, such as cakes or cookies.
"Look at your look!" Janet took the glass, but only allowed Siegel to kiss the tip of her nose, and then pushed him away, "I won't disappear again, you can let me rest for a while." ”
Siegel stretched, the muscles of his body tensed tightly, making Janet cover her mouth and chuckle. "Are you back to training in swordsmanship? ”
"I think I'm probably the best in the Mage Federation, without the help of spells, of course. Siegel sat down across from Janet and wrapped her feet in his arms. The moonlight reflected in his eyes, and there was no powerful magic or wise knowledge in it, only tenderness and sweetness. "I'll rub your feet, it's been hard along the way. ”
"That's right, I'm going to have to wear the teleportation band all the time. You know that this human is not as physically fit as I used to be, and he has been seriously injured, and it took me a long time to recover. ”
"When I heard the news that the Elven Forest had been attacked by the Assassins, I was so stunned that I lost my mind and prepared to storm the Elven Forest with the army led by Heim. Siegel chuckled self-deprecatingly. Then shrugged: "Don't talk about that." Tell me how you escaped?"
"I woke up long after I was recovering from treatment. It took months to realize that I was in the Old World. Originally, I thought I would just have to wait for you to come to me, but I am very confident that you will find me. But the sea between the two continents would be delayed for a long time, so I didn't want to wait. ”
If it weren't for Siegel's massive elimination of the Murder God's assassins and minions, Janet might not have been given the opportunity to carry out her mission for a long time. As soon as she left the stronghold, she began to plan her escape.
"We were a group of four people on an assassination mission. I deliberately failed the mission, let three other people die, and faked my own deaths. After that, rely on disguise. I shifted between travelers, adventurers, and merchants until I had enough money to cross the seas and finally set foot on the land of the New World. ”
Despite Janet's simplicity, Siegel can imagine the dangers.
"But anyway, I'm finally home. Janet smiled happily, put her arm on her head, and slowly closed her eyes on the chaise longe. "Let me sleep in peace, dear, and get a good night's sleep......"
Even if the sky falls apart, it won't affect her to have a good rest. With a wave of his hand, Siegel rearranged the bed. Then pick Janet up. She was already asleep, as safe as a newborn child. Janet's body was much lighter than before. There are also scars on his back and arms from the past. Fortunately, there were no relatively new scars, otherwise Siegel would have completely eliminated the assassins of the God of Murder, no matter what the price was.
There was an extra woman in the lord's room, and the matter spread far and wide, attracting a lot of attention. The red-faced cries in the bedroom were not heard by anyone due to the cover of the silent circle, but the ever-lit fires and constantly flickering shadows were enough to tell the story.
Several ladies had come to the castle for various reasons, and their names needed not be detailed. Alfred was "tortured" because he had no idea what was happening.
"You should ask Rhett, Golem Rhett, this has nothing to do with me. "Although Alfred is strong and has good martial arts skills due to his career as a mercenary, he can only raise his hands and surrender in front of a strong woman. "All I heard the lord call her Janet, the name of the lord's wife. ”
"What does she look like?"
"Not as good as you!" Ed knew exactly what he was supposed to say, though he would never admit it in front of Siegel afterwards. Let these troubles go to the Golem Priest, he prayed in his heart.
They - still no need to say who it was - came to the Nameless Temple, but were stopped by Erdu. "Red is having an important prayer service, please don't disturb him. I know what you're here for, so ask me directly. ”
Although Erdu is a mound, it is a peculiar construct, and it is very able to talk to ladies. Now that the investigation is carried out, the basic situation can be clarified.
"Siegel can't be deceived, right?" they all had more or less suspicions in their minds, "I need to keep an eye on him/her!"
Both Rhett and Siegel, the golem, are familiar with what Janet's soul fire looks like, so they can confirm that it is her, and Siegel has blood magic and Knox's memory reading as a means of verification. But for Isaac as a child, Janet in brown-haired human form could not be associated with his mother in his memory.
After all, smells and sounds are different, and the rhythm of the heartbeat is not the same.
He still prefers to play with the dragon lady "Auntie" Moddy Sty than with Janet. He would only go to Janet when Siegel and Moddy were watching.
"Don't worry, reincarnation has this kind of disadvantage, Isaac is too young to figure it out. Siegel always comforted and encouraged his wife: "You have to set aside time for him, and you have to give time for the whole Heim Territory, and slowly accept this." After all......" Siegel grimaced and said to Janet with a smile, "They're not as smart as I am, aren't they?"
This quote can amuse Janet, but it can't help her speed up her acceptance. It wasn't until she took over the affairs of the realm, and together with the acting lord Mana Knight, put everything in order, when she was finally held by Isaac and kissed on the cheek, when she showed the demeanor of a realm mistress, that all the controversy settled - that was another story.
The ritual performed by Rhett the Golem in the Nameless Temple is associated with the Staff of Defense, the moment he touches the staff. I felt the power of evil in it. The soul of a powerful spellcaster resides within. Desolation withering with the undead and frenzied brutality of the elements. He soon understood that it was a lich's fatebox. And this lich is stronger than himself, but he doesn't know which is stronger or weaker than Siegel.
It stands to reason that Siegel, as a powerful mage, must be able to feel the will of the undead inside, but why do you keep it with you? Red had suspicions, speculating that Siegel might have become a lich. He had seen Siegel's skeletal form, and knew his great abilities in magical spells and magical creations, and the ritual of transmuting the lich should not be difficult for him.
But he quickly vetoed this, as undead creatures could not have human feelings. In particular, there will be no such burning affection as Siegel for Janet. This is not something that can be changed by simply transforming and obtaining flesh and blood, it is purely the power of the soul. What secrets are hidden behind the Lich Chest, and why does Siegel carry it in his hands and with him all day long?
The Lich's lifebox emits faint magical fluctuations, making it difficult to spot if you don't hold it in your hand. The outside of the life box is set up with layers of protection, and in the core is a part of the lich's soul fire, which is also the reason why the lich can regenerate after being destroyed.
"Being so close to the evil spirits of the Lich will be subtly influenced by Siegel, not to mention that he is also a mage, and he is also very close when thinking about problems. Red set the staff aside and pondered. "Siegel said that he himself had no faith in a deity. Then his soul will be more susceptible to evil. If ......"
If Siegel's personality changes, what kind of harm can be done to Lord Heim, who has a Myrcan core and is proficient in all kinds of powerful spells?
According to the records. It was a terrible war. Raging magic spells are more efficient than swords, and ordinary people have no ability to resist at all. The corpses of the dead on the battlefield are transformed into skeletons and ghosts, which continue to spread evil and death. It is said that in the later stages of the war there was also a plague caused by magic, which affected a considerable area.
Thinking of this, Red decides to destroy the lich's lifebox, which has never been a good thing. Since the lifebox and the defensive staff are tightly combined, it is too difficult to destroy together, so Red needs to prepare the sacred abode and increase the level of divine power he can control before he can slowly destroy the magic spells that make up the lifebox.
A bright light constantly shone on the staff of defense, triggering its own protection. The golem constantly prays to the light filled with holy power, hoping that it will help it destroy evil. Surge power swells from the depths of its heart, forcing out the evil and death in the lich's name.
Wisps of black soul fire burned in the light, silent, but screaming in Red's mind. He mobilized his holy power while dispersing the undead. The Soul Fire was tougher than he had imagined, and the complex magical protection limited his playfulness.
Just as Erdu was acting as a guard outside the door to block the woman who came to "visit", a dark shadow infiltrated the Nameless Temple. Although the strong holy power made his body feel like it was ignited by fire, he was not afraid. A shield of elemental energy blocked the holy power, and the Myrcan Core continued to provide power to this shield.
"Golem Priest, why did you destroy my lifebox?" said Alexander in Lich form suddenly. When the fatbox was threatened, he felt it immediately, and at first thought that Siegel had broken his oath and wanted to kill him. Since both men were archmages, and Siegel had the full support of the Mir Core in Myr, Alexander thought he was dead. But what he felt from the soul of the life box was not the elemental power, but the priest's holy power, so he teleported over to see the situation.
Red didn't move, twisted his head to his back, and saw the burning lich. Within the confines of Myr, the Energy Focus Lens and Spatial Lock were supposed to prevent teleportation, but the lich did not trigger the alarm and successfully teleported. It has penetrated deep into the heart of Heim Territory, and its threat is even more terrifying.
The golem didn't say a word, grabbed all the world's holy power, and rushed to the life box. Although destroying the lifebox will not cause the lich in front of it to collapse immediately, it can severely damage its strength, and the guards led by Heim, the priests of Mother Earth, and the paladins will be able to come to their aid.
Alexander naturally understood the Golem's intentions. It tilted its head, looked at the defensive staff behind the golem, and said, "It's time to free yourself from the oath." Siegel, since you didn't finish your part, I can't sit idly by. ”
He raised his hand, and a black ball of energy flew out, striking the golem Red. Without a sound, without vision, Red vanished from the world.
Naturally, the Holy Force was interrupted, and Alexander stepped forward and picked up the defensive staff. "Looks like I can't finish reading the Mir Core. After he finished speaking, he used teleportation to leave Mir City far away. (To be continued.) )
