His hands were slowly closed in front of him, and the extremely pale black qi that was swimming in the air that would be repelled and pushed away by perception was also carefully collected in Raymond's hands.

A faint red glow flashed in the pupils of the eyes, and the chip's analysis and identification of this extremely pale black gas began.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Raymond who was still thinking about Trini, and asked after thinking about it. "The Old Lord adopted more than six hundred children before he sent you to study in the Tower Lands, and when you returned, there were less than five left, do you know where those children went?"

The thought on his face was replaced by hesitation, and it was clear that Trini hadn't thought about it before, so it was a moment later that he replied with some uncertainty. "It is said that I was sent out to study......

"How long has it been since the old city lord fell?"

"Twenty-Seven Years ......"

"How many of the children who were sent out to school have returned?"

“......”

The three questions before and after made Trini's face finally change, especially the last question, although he did not answer, the answer seemed obvious.

Raymond, who sighed to himself, sat down again, and after glancing at the maid with a large bottle of aged rum, she immediately came to Raymond and smiled as she filled the glass in his hand.

With a slender figure and a beautiful face, the gentle expression of the young maid made Raymond feel very depressed, and unconsciously relieved his depressed mood.

Smiling and nodding at her, Raymond, who took a sip of the wine in his glass, sorted out the clues he currently had.

Unwilling to end his life at the end of his life, the old lord of Lanhai Castle came up with the idea of transforming himself into a lich. And after decades of hard work, he really figured it out.

However, after the old city lord transformed himself into a lich rune in his structure, he soon discovered that there were some fatal flaws in this rune array. Because of this, he fell into entanglement and hesitation for more than ten years, but during this time, he accepted the construction of the Supreme Council and began to transform the Lanhai Fort into a fortress, and strengthened the suppression and control of the surrounding Warcraft races, and greatly improved the lives of most of the residents of the Lanhai Fort......

It's just that the old city lord's persistent pursuit of an almost eternal life finally made the old city lord give up the good thoughts in his heart, and set out to find and raise many young children with wizard potential, and start learning and improving their strength according to the established plan.

It has been in preparation for more than ten years. However, in the end, the unlucky old city lord was not able to transform himself into a lich after activating the rune of the lifeform transformation, but disappeared in the secret chamber for more than ten days before being discovered by the head of his guard, and according to his will, Trini, who was studying in the Land of the Tower, was recalled. became the successor of the Lanhai Castle.

Many of the clues gathered were interrupted, and why Trini ended up becoming a lich instead, and why he also turned the inhabitants of the vast majority of the army of the Lanhai Fort into walking corpses, all of which had a strange smell that prevented Raymond from merging the gentle and self-proclaimed noble city lord Trini with the bloody and ruthless Lich Triny!

Since I can't figure it out. Naturally, there are problems that have not yet been discovered.

Thinking so, Raymond stopped thinking. After waiting for a while, I finally got the conclusion of the chip's analysis of the extremely pale black gas that filled the city!

Breath of Silence!

It turned out to be the breath of silence!

This is the energy that is supposed to exist in the plane where ghost-like beings reside!

It's an essential energy to give birth to ghost-like lifeforms!

It's an energy that has a warming effect on ghost-like creatures, but is like a chronic poison for ordinary creatures!

Raymond, who suddenly fell into a fog, finally understood why the confusion in his heart had not been explained.

The entire Lanhai Fort is now filled with this aura of silence, and all the inhabitants will be in a state of loss of vitality, in a state of reduced lifespan, declining physique, and long-term weakness!

But when he looked up, Raymond saw Trini's expression as if it had been inadvertent.

Trini, who was standing sideways, looked in the direction of the main city of Lanhai Fort, and Raymond, who followed the direction of his gaze, soon found that he was in a window that was opened to the right in the middle of the main city. There is a woman looking at this side stupidly!

Causing the chip to close the line of sight, Raymond saw a pale and haggard one. A slightly shy face, and a finger that had been pressed against the window frame for too long, a little white.

"She was adopted by the old lord after me, and she was still learning to walk when I took over as lord ......"

As if sensing Raymond's gaze, a flush appeared on his cheeks, and Trini's tone was filled with emotion and subtle relief. "It's a pity that I can't transform her into a lich as well, and she doesn't have the strength to keep her mind after the transformation is complete......"

"You like her a lot?"

The sudden privacy issue made Trini's expression become dazed, and he thought for a long time before he said with some uncertainty. "I—I don't know...... But seeing her every day is a happier time for me......"

"Haven't you liked anyone in all these years?"

"Uh...... It should be said that there is no ......" Trini, who was extremely dazed, fell into deep thought after speaking, and after a long time, his eyes returned to clarity, shaking his head and laughing bitterly at himself. "Lord Raymond, in my current situation, any exchange of feelings is meaningless, and I will send her away before the dimensional passage is established......"

Hearing this, Raymond grasped the information contained in it with great keenness, and immediately interrupted him and asked. "You also know that the environment of Lanhai Fort is not suitable for ordinary people?"

"Yes, the old lord wants to turn this place into a city of destruction, and he has a description of it in the secret room......"

Speaking of this, Trini seemed to think of something, and turned to Raymond and saluted. "Lord Raymond, there are a lot of illegible words and graphics on the walls of the secret room in the main city, could you please go in and have a look?"

Raymond, who picked up the notebook on the table, nodded in agreement after a moment of hesitation after re-opening the parts that he couldn't recognize.

Because there are many strange lines and graphics that cannot be identified in the notes left by the old city lord before, although it is highly likely that this part contains a large amount of text after the chip is analyzed, it cannot be translated because there is no similar text stored in the chip.

As Trini entered the main city of Lanhai Fort, Raymond saw a fortress that had been transformed into a fortress, and the placement of many war weapons made the main city even more fierce!

It's just that Raymond has traveled all the way, and after the number of residents who seem to be walking corpses has gradually decreased, the garrison force wearing the uniform of the city guard but should belong to the puppet-like existence has gradually increased.

And the stationed wizards, who hid their bodies in their wide wizards' robes like dried corpses, also cast their cold and emotionless gazes.

"The garrison in the city became like this overnight, but they still have the habit of following orders and receiving orders after they have become undead......"

There was apology and a little doubt in his tone, and Trini, who had introduced the various facilities in the main city all the way, revealed a message.

That is, when the old city lord was in office, the Supreme Council allocated a large amount of combat resources every year, and demanded that the city that was deep in the area occupied by the monsters be completely renovated, so that its defenses could meet the standard of resisting a long-term siege!

Raymond, who felt the faint pressure around him when he entered the main city, thought of a question in vain when he passed through the two parapet walls and entered its atrium, and immediately stopped and asked Trini. "Since this place was renovated and renovated decades ago, is the Intercity Teleportation Array unable to be activated due to interference from the Warcraft Alliance?" (To be continued......
