1367 Note 1
If it weren't for the communication with Trini sitting down over tea and chatting, then according to what he saw before, Raymond would definitely think that Trini is a complete lunatic!
But now listening to him, facing his clear and radiant eyes, facing his clear and logical thinking, Raymond really can't label him a 'madman'.
Aside from the fact that he turned most of the city's inhabitants into walking dead, he should be called an extremely diligent city lord, a very hard-working wizard, a talisman master, and a person with the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys of a normal person, as well as a superb appreciation for beautiful things.
In addition, he has an extremely aristocratic plot, and wants to be respected and loved because he is a nobleman and not because he is a wizard.
Yes, after chatting and listening to the lord Trini, Raymond finally came to such a conclusion.
Of course, before his life form transformation, he could also be called an extremely vindictive person.
After the misfortune of his parents when he was a child and the abandonment of him as a child, he returned from studying in the Land of the Tower to inherit the position of lord of the city, and the hatred that had been buried in his heart made him give up his body and transform himself into a lich.
As a result, a promising rune master became a life form that wandered between death and survival, giving him greater power, but also depriving him of the beauty he could enjoy as a 'human'.
"The old city is not mainly because he lost his obsession at the last moment, thinking that the position of the city lord should still belong to him......"
As he spoke, he played with the colorful cocktail in his hand. The city lord Trini, who had a faint sadness on his expression, sighed before continuing. "But since I found the old city lord's notes in the secret room, that kind of time in the face of great power and long life. I can't keep the same mentality as before, and I can't suppress the hatred hidden in my heart......"
Because of the discussion of the lich, Raymond also thought of the corpse demon Evangeline who had been in contact with him, and after thinking about it, he took out a small bottle of potion to cover up the smell of the corpse and pushed it in front of Trini. "Because after becoming a lich you will face many problems, the most obvious of which is the smell, I think you will use this potion in the future......"
The city lord Trini, who was stunned for a moment, took the potion bottle in his hand. Then he pulled up the cork and sniffed it, and then carefully dropped a drop in his open palm.
It was a colorless and odorless potion, but when it touched his palm, it released a faint fragrance. Trini, the city lord whose expression had changed drastically, immediately jumped up and exclaimed. "Oh my God! there really is such a potion!"
"It's easy to refine, but it's not easy to collect materials......"
"Thank you very much for your generosity......!
Trini, the lord of the city, who bowed down to Raymond, looked earnest and grateful. Immediately the members of the Lan Jiao Legion who were imprisoned in the dungeon. And the captured Winged Tiger Clan cubs were all sent to Raymond for him to dispose of.
Although the hundreds of mid- and low-level wizards who were imprisoned were all ordered to come, the killings they caused had to be paid for by themselves.
And those young beasts of the Winged Tiger Clan who were taken captive here, although they were in a comatose state one by one, they were still healthy without being abused.
Raymond was a little surprised by the honesty expressed by the city lord Trini, but thought that he had transformed himself into a life form like a lich. Then these wizards and young beasts in front of him really have no point in continuing to detain them. So Raymond directly asked Trini about his next step.
"I'll tell you the truth, I've had moments of regret after transforming myself into a lich, because there's no clear dividing line between gain and loss, and once the transformation is complete, it's irreversible......"
Trini, the city lord who seemed to have become in a very good mood, said this and motioned for Raymond to enjoy the soup that had just been brought by the cook, but his own eyes became wandering, and he said very blankly after a moment. "I will completely lose the five senses that I can have as a human in a few years, so until then I will stay here and enjoy the qiē here, and then I will ...... I really haven't thought about it......"
Most of the knowledge of the Lich is written in the canon, so Raymond doesn't have much to offer.
However, according to the texts, the free energy that the lich needs to draw is biased towards the dark system, but the concentration of this free energy in the surface plane is quite low, so in the end, Raymond still told the situation.
The city lord Trini, who knew something about this, also had a distressed expression. "Yes, although I can still stay on the surface plane, if my body is completely transformed, then I must find a plane suitable for the lich to live in, otherwise my body will gradually collapse......"
Speaking of this, the city lord Trini in vain motioned to Raymond not to disturb, and after thinking for a long time, he handed over a notebook with a green cover as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, and said very earnestly. "Lord Raymond, this is a note left by the old city lord, and the content recorded in the last part has never been able to be cracked, can you please help me take a look......
The edges of the notebook that were pushed in front of him were all worn out to expose the raw edges, and the spine was a little shiny from the long touch.
Knowing that this is the basis for the city lord Trini to successfully transform himself into a lich, Raymond is very emotional about the trust that the city lord Trini has given him.
Trini, who studied under Master Lan Modo, was originally supposed to be a rune formation master with a great future, but because of the bitter hatred in his heart, he finally made the decision to become a lich and carried it out because of the bitter hatred in his heart!
From now on, if the city lord Trini can still maintain his current sanity, then he may be able to continue to live in the form of a lich, but if the obsession in his heart continues to expand, then it is likely that his reason will be lost, and even the mind he originally possessed will be driven by the lich's instinct, making him completely lose his original human being!
If he ends up in a chaotic life form, then the Trini in front of him will no longer exist.
But thinking of the old city lord who had brought him out of the slums, Raymond thought that the notebook in front of him would unravel many doubts and reveal the answers.
So Raymond, who picked up the notebook, began to browse.
What is life exactly......
What is the meaning of survival......
What is the true meaning of life......
The old lord, who seems to be a philosopher, puts these questions in the foremost place at the beginning of his notes, and it is evident that he was also confused and confused before he began to write about what remains.
When the extremely thin parchment was turned over by Raymond, it was as if it was opening the old city lord's mental journey.
The old city lord, who had not left the castle since his birth, began his notes with a description of his past, and then changed the content of the account to a qiē about the lich.
Various cited texts, many records of the Lich that have appeared in the past, many speculations about the Lich, and even many rumors have been recorded in detail, making this notebook a book of research on the history of the Lich and its inheritance.
It's just that when Raymond flipped through the back part, the old city lord who was facing the end of his life was suddenly born to make him a lich because of a broken ancient wizarding document!
From here, the old lord of Lanhai Fort devoted himself to related research, buying and replacing resources with dark energy, and began to explore ways to transform himself into a lich.
According to the time left in the notebook, in the more than ten years before Trini was adopted by the old city lord, the old city lord actually found a feasible plan to transform himself into a lich...... (To be continued......)
