134 Ten thousand years from the past

When the lich performs the transformation ceremony, the original life mark will be stored, which is called the "life box".

As a pure spirit creature, the reason why the lich can live for hundreds or thousands of years is because of the existence of the "life box". Their original life marks are stored and stagnant in the passage of time, and the Lich itself can build on this without worrying about so-called aging.

Lich, a spirit with a powerful life-saving ability and almost all physical attack damage, only worries about magical and magical attacks. However, with the unique magic shield, the lich with the natural ability to fly can cast spells in rapid movement and dodge the opponent's attacks, almost without taking any fatal damage.

In this case, the "lifebox" becomes the lich's only and fatal weakness.

Once the "lifebox" is destroyed, the lich becomes rootless water. If a lich with a "life box" can stay young forever, losing the "life box" means that he has entered a period of aging, and can only watch his soul gradually dissipate.

This is something that Auguste would never want to see, and it is why he had to compromise.

Allegri, on the other hand, was now full of ambition, and had a dashing demeanor that had a pearl of wisdom in his hands, especially when he thought of August's treasures for many years, and the little flame in his heart burned and burned, tickling his heart.

However, after thinking about it, the first request he made was for Augustil to make an oath not to harm them, and to completely lift the blood curse on Illo and the elven girl.

The girl looked relieved, and Allegri smirked, drawing closer to her subject.

He looked at Auguste with some covetousness and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir, for meeting my two small requests, then next." Can I take a tour of the Adult's Magical Warehouse?"

Of course, with his character, it is definitely more than just a visit.

August's reaction was rather strange, not very angry, but a little surprised, "Are you really going?"

"yes. Oh, yes. Allegri nodded again and again, looking like he was a money obsesser, and rubbed his hands.

But how did the elf girl look like an idiot, and her loyal companion Dios showed no sign of supporting her at all?

"What's wrong?" he scratched his head.

"Ten thousand years," Dios reminded with a helpless shrug, "think of Lord Herseus's magical storehouse, what would a thousand years be like?"

Allegri's mood at this time can be described in one sentence. It's just that I took off my pants, and you told me this?

With a grief-stricken expression on his face, he sighed dejectedly, and his full enthusiasm was completely extinguished in an instant.

"Anything else?" snorted August.

The dawn of the east was faintly revealed, and Allegri was also in no mood, and waved his hand helplessly, "Dios, look at what is eye-catching in this room." Let's just make a bag. ”

Augustl snorted and glanced at the "life box" in Allegri's hand. In the end, he still didn't say anything.

On the contrary, it was the elven girl, who hesitated for a moment, and finally turned to Augustil, and said, "Ancestor Augustil, the 'Beginning of New Life' scroll has been damaged. I hope you don't do this evil ritual again. ”

"If it weren't for you...... If you hadn't recklessly thrown the 'Seed of Life' down, how could I have failed?" Augustl gave her a cold look.

"But what about after that?" the girl asked, "The 'Elven Empire' has fallen, and you still want us Elves to bear the infamy of the ages?"

"Now...... Outside, what's going on with the elves?" August's face seemed a little gloomy. After a moment's hesitation, the question was asked.

"Now we elves can only hide in the remote forests, the human country is constantly squeezing our territory, and there are even many elves who are captured as slaves," the girl shook her head with a wry smile and asked, "Aren't you able to control the entire 'elven homeland'?

"The entire 'Elven Homeland'?" Augustil wondered, "I can't even get out of the range of Iddashir, how can I control the entire 'Elven Homeland'?"

"However, in the records left by Narya's ancestors, it is clear that the 'Clear Springs Council' led by you carried out crazy experiments and even tried to live forever. After the experiment got out of control, the 'Realm of Decay' enveloped the entire 'Elven Homeland', and Adamsil was destroyed!" The girl looked firmly at the ancestor opposite, her eyes burning.

Augustl was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses and shook his head, "That's right, the first half is true, we are conducting a magical experiment about 'immortality'. But the curse you call the 'realm of decay' is not what I have unleashed. ”

"And how can you control this curse?" Allegri was also drawn in, and interjected.

"It took me millennia to gradually control a portion of the 'Fallen Realm' after I was forced to transform into a lich, but I was never able to fully control or disarm it. Augustl snorted.

"You just said that the fall of the Elven Empire was not due to an out-of-control magic test?" the elf girl asked tentatively, hesitating.

"It all started when we 'Council of Clear Springs', during the magical experiments, we occasionally discovered a special plane," Augustil thought for a moment, but slowly recounted, "That plane is vast and barren, but there are only a few spirit bodies, and in our first contact, they appear polite and powerful. The weakest of them were as strong as mine, but they were not belligerent, and this greatly relieved us of our guard. And the main thing is that they are immortal. ”

"Under their guidance, the 'Clear Springs Council's research into life magic has advanced by leaps and bounds, and we treat them as mentors. So when they suggested that we also start an experiment on eternal life, we naturally agreed and put it into practice, wanting to transform the entire High Elf community into immortality and rule this world forever. ”

"This long-awaited experiment is being conducted under my auspices, and you don't know how it works," Augustil glanced at the so-called magician with contempt, "In short, we were calculated, and by the time the 'Council of Clear Springs' noticed it, the 'Realm of Decay' had spread, and Idashir bore the brunt of it, and a large number of inhabitants were sucked into dried corpses. That's when we realize that they are trying to reshape their bodies with the life force they have absorbed in this way. ”

"Later, because they were too few in number, the 'Clear Springs Council' finally drove most of them back to that plane and sealed the plane passage firmly at the cost of their lives, but by this time, the 'Realm of Decay' had already covered most of the forest, and the city of Idashir was completely destroyed because of our credulity. ”、

August's voice grew lower and lower, and the dusty past was revealed.

Above the tower, there was silence.

Finally, Allegri asked, "Didn't those heads attack the Green Tower out of resentment?"

Augustl was silent for a moment before he spoke, "It's because of me." ”

"At that time, I had the scroll 'The Beginning of New Life' in my collection, so I did three things to try to undo it," Auguste whispered, "The main thing was that I made my two daughters take a vow to bring a part of the 'Tree of Life' necessary to activate the 'Beginning of Life'. ”

"When I got back to Idahir, I waited and grew old, but they never came," Augustil glanced coldly at Illo and the Elven Maiden, who looked at him without showing any weakness. Augustl shook his head and sighed, and continued, "I used powerful natural spells to ensure that the souls of the High Elves would not dissipate, but as I grew old and had few lives, there was no way to sustain them. ”

"So, I had to transform into a lich and attach my life force to the seal, and firmly guard this seal," August's voice became lower and lower, even a little low, "but after becoming a lich, I can no longer unleash the spells of nature, and seeing that the souls of the High Elves are about to dissipate, and my efforts are about to come to naught, I have decided to use necromancy to imprison them." ”

Allegri's face changed, and he hesitated, "Those heads...... Have you imprisoned their souls in them for 10,000 years?"

"Not captivity, it's bondage! If not, how can I guarantee that they will be resurrected when I launch the Beginning of New Life?" Augustus snapped, "How could I have made such a decision if they hadn't been here?"

"Are you just watching them gradually turn into resentful spirits?" Allegri whispered, "After 10,000 years of pain, it's no wonder they are so resentful of you, and the 'Tree of Life' only became so irritable because it absorbed their resentment?"

Augustus was silent.

"And what are you going to do in the future?" Allegri asked, the Beginning of Life scroll had been destroyed, August's dreams were shattered, and he feared that the desperate lich would lose both.

Augustl was silent for a long time.

"You're much stronger than that guy," he glanced at the elf girl, and threw the "Emerald Leaf" with his mind, and said indifferently, "Let's go." ”

Allegri wanted to ask something, but Dios looked at August's face and tugged at the corner of his coat.

Allegri carefully put the "life box" on the ground, carrying the large package on the ground, Dios carried Illo on his back, and Auguste said lightly, "Packed?"

Allegri nodded busily, Augustil chanted a few words, and the three of them only felt that the scenery in front of them had changed, and they had already appeared at the top of the hill where they had just come.

The dawn gradually rose, the moonlight dissipated, and from a distance, the "Green Tower" returned to silence, only slightly damaged and toppled.

The massive "Tree of Life" was completely withered and motionless, and countless withered heads were scattered around it.

In this situation, I don't know what kind of mood the people on the top of the tower are feeling. (To be continued......)
