Chapter 476: Surrender to the Cynic
On the night of this day, Lei Changye returned to the secret room of the Boat Palace, opened the treasure bag containing the skull shell of Henry the Cynic, and the skull of Henry the Cynic couldn't wait to roll out, steadied on the table with difficulty, and then moved the skull a little bit, looking at Lei Changye, who was watching him with great interest.
"How long, how long have I been here?" asked Henry the Cynic, hissing.
Lei Changye smiled slightly. The time and space inside the Treasure Bag are static, and the meat placed in it will never be damaged, and the flesh will never be corrupted. But there must be no living things in it, and it will die because it cannot breathe and metabolize freely.
Henry the Cynic survived with only lifeless skull shells and corrupted souls. However, every minute and every second in the alliance treasure bag is incomparably long, and the effect is a hundred times stronger than that of closing the small black house.
"It's just a day. Lei Changye said lightly.
"You lied to me! You locked me up for ten years! No! for a hundred years! It must be so!" said Henry the Cynic, indignantly, "This is a diabolical crime!
"Tsk, Mr. Cicero, as a lich, you obviously don't fully understand your tragic fate. Lei Changye smiled slightly, "One day in my treasure bag is just a short portrayal of your life, if this is a demonic crime, then what you have done to yourself is enough for you to sit through hell." ”
"Shut up, shut up, you shut up!" roared Henry the Cynic. Lei Changye's words hit the most vulnerable part of his soul - his fear of his fate.
It was this mortal fear that made him unable to control his fury and made him want to keep killing, keep fighting, and not want to stop for a moment. Because once it stops, fear keeps coming over me. He will live as a lonely lich to the end of the world.
"I guess your God will never forgive a coward who would betray even his own life. Henry the Cynic, this name already represents your break with Heaven. Lei Changye didn't give him a chance to breathe.
"I didn't, I was just carried away by the anger, I ...... I...... Ever since I became a lich, I've always wanted to be able to change my human body. Henry the Cynic said this, his tone had become surprisingly weak.
One day in the Treasure Bag was the longest he'd ever had, and it was like spending a whole year at the bottom of hell. His originally strong and stubborn spirit completely collapsed.
"So, do you remember what we discussed before?" asked Lei Changye lightly.
"You said you could make me an adult?!Is it true?!You have to prove it to me!" asked Henry the Cynic.
"Haha," Lei Changye smiled, "I don't have to prove it to anyone." When I say yes, I mean yes, believe it or not, it's up to you. ”
"You told me this because you need me to do something for you. Since you need me too, you need to show your sincerity!" hissed Henry the Cynic.
"Oh?" Lei Changye raised his eyebrows, this cynic Henry still has a bit of a brain.
"Okay. It's okay to prove it a little, lest you think that I, as the master of the Martial Alliance of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, am still a liar. It's just insulting. Lei Changye slowly took out a brand-new painting box from his arms and aimed it at the skull eye socket of Henry the Cynic, "After being a lich for so long, do you want to relive what it's like to be a human being?"
"You...... What do you mean? Is this a treasure that can turn me into a man?" asked Henry the Cynic, eagerly but suspiciously.
"Give up spiritual resistance and let my treasure lead you to adulthood. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"No! never, my spirit will never be a slave!" said Henry the Cynic, struggling.
"It doesn't matter. Lei Changye shook his head, put away the painting box, grabbed Henry's skull and put him into the alliance treasure bag again.
"Slow! Slow!" Henry's mechanical voice was so sharp that Lei Changye's ears were almost burst by him.
"How?"
"I ...... I...... I...... I'll give up resistance, don't put me in that horrible bag!" Henry the Cynic had a hoarse voice, no longer as stubborn and crazy as he had just now.
"Awkward, I've got a bunch of other things. Lei Changye's tone was full of impatience.
"Good ......," whispered Henry the Cynic helplessly. He finally relaxed his defense, and the spiritual barrier was completely lifted by him. His divine sense was guided by the identification talisman, and he easily floated into the Immortal Hidden Diagram Taixu Palace, and suddenly got into the body of the painting designed by Lei Changye. These figures are the same as those of the Prancing Circus, and once the consciousness is in the painting, the body in the painting will automatically correct to the appearance of the owner of the consciousness itself according to memory.
After Henry the Cynic entered the Immortal Hidden Diagram, he staggered a few steps as if he was drunk, and only then did he realize that he had intact legs. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, his palms sound, even the calluses on his fingers that had been worn away from practicing potions were still in place.
"Ha, ha, ha...... Henry the Cynic wanted to let out a surprise laugh, but he burst into tears.
He knelt on the ground, rubbing the smooth bluestone slab floor of the Taixu Palace with his hands, and pressed his face to the ground to feel the coldness and hardness of the ground that he had not seen for a long time.
"I'm alive, I'm really human again, my God, thank you for not forsaking me...... Woooooo
Lei Changye smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and mobilized the divine consciousness that fused with the Immortal Hidden Spiritual Consciousness. Henry the Cynic's consciousness popped out and returned to his skull shell.
"No ——————!" found himself back in the skeleton shell, and Henry let out a heart-rending howl. After experiencing the pleasure of being a human again for a few seconds in the Taixu Palace, and returning to this desperate skeleton shell again, Henry really wanted to die. It's a pity that now he is a lich, and it is difficult to even die.
"How is it, do you believe it?" asked Lei Changye.
"Woo......" Henry the Cynic was still howling, if he had tear ducts now, he would have burst into tears at the moment.
"Alas......" Lei Changye reluctantly picked up the painting box and called up a Lei Gong play, while watching and waiting.
"I ...... I believed! I believed——! I believed——! I believed——! hey——!" Henry the Cynic howled for ten minutes, and finally gradually recovered from the huge psychological gap. He wanted to talk to Lei Changye, but Lei Changye's spirit was attracted by a showdown between Liu Xiu and Lu Bu on Tianwang Mountain in Lei Gong's play, and he completely forgot about Henry's existence.
"Huh?" Lei Changye finally heard the hoarse howl of Henry the Cynic, reluctantly closed the picture box and turned around.
"I said I believed!" said Henry the Cynic, angrily and helplessly.
"Just believe it. If you want to be an adult, hand over your amulet first. Lei Changye said dryly.
"Good!" Henry the Cynic had lost all interest in the Lich Body since reliving his bliss of returning to the human body, and he would now rather die than live in this skeleton shell.
"My talisman is buried at the heart of the Frost Dragon. Henry the Cynic whispered.
"You put the talisman box on the Frost Dragon, aren't you afraid that the dragon will be killed, and you will die with it?"
"If I didn't use my talisman to suppress the Frost Dragon's dragon soul, I wouldn't be able to drive this Elder Dragon away. Henry the Cynic sighed.
"You don't really want to live. Lei Changye sneered. It is indeed not a wise move to put the talisman on the charging class, but looking at the spirit of Henry the Cynic, he will not be a lich for long, I am afraid that he will give up on himself a long time ago.
"However, if you remove my talisman from the Frost Dragon, you will need to suppress the Frost Dragon's dragon soul with additional power. Henry the Cynic said in a deep voice.
"I don't need to suppress any dragon souls. Lei Changye shook his head.
"Well, maybe there's another way to deal with dragons in your Middle-earth Datang. Henry the Cynic's chin tilted, as if he were about to pout.
"Before I got your talisman case, I had a question. Listen to Princess Linda, you have a lot of experience in the melting and refining of dragon crystals?" asked Lei Changye.
"That's right. Not only am I the master of dragon crystal refining and forging, but I was also Aquitaine's greatest Crystal Dragon Hunter and Dragon Ruins digger. Henry the Cynic said proudly.
"I have recovered all the dragon crystals in your Dragon Crystal Castle, and I need you to teach me how to melt them. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"If I taught you the method of casting, would you make me an adult?" asked Henry the Cynic eagerly.
"If you can teach me the method of melting in three days, I will give you the opportunity to teach me how to refine and extract the magic energy of the dragon crystal. During the teaching, I will of course keep you in human form. Lei Changye said with a smile.
"Really?" Henry the Cynic was excited, and then he calmed down, "Wait, what will you do to me after I teach you how to refine and extract the magic energy of the dragon crystal?"
"It's all up to you. If you embody your worth, I will continue to keep you in human form. If you really prove yourself and have contributed enough to me, I, as the master of the Tang Martial Alliance, will naturally keep my promise and give you a completely free human form, so that you can return to your original life. Lei Changye said solemnly.
"Uh......" Henry the Cynic suddenly asked again, "You just said that the people of your Martial Alliance are all immortals?"
"Do you still want to ask me about the method of immortality?" asked Lei Changye coldly.
"Why not. What if I contribute more than you can imagine?" asked Henry the Cynic eagerly.
"Immortality is a very expensive privilege in Datang. Unless your contribution is enough to make you a member of the Martial Alliance, you should never want to be on the edge of immortality. Lei Changye said coldly.
"I am a necromantic archmage, my talent and potential are limitless, and I will prove myself to you. Henry the Cynic said impassionedly.
"Morale is available. Lei Changye smiled slightly. For the sake of immortality, for the sake of adulthood, Henry the Cynic has to fight.
