Lord Chronicle

Chapter 149 Lich
Flipping his wrist and putting the dagger in his sleeve, Kip looked around, stepped back and disappeared into the shadow of the ground.

On a section of the wall, Sol watched Chip kill the necromancer, and said happily, "It should be all solved, right?"

Walsa beside him shook his head: "No, there must be necromancers alive, otherwise these zombies will fall if they lose the source of undead magic."

Although there are not many left, the zombies and skeletons in the field are still wandering around, without any signs of falling apart.

Secretly thinking that these guys are really no different from mice, Sol said distressedly: "Then what should I do?"

Walsa spread his hands: "Don't ask me, I don't know how to find him."

Jessica comforted: "It's okay, there are only a few zombies left, even if there are necromancers alive, it won't cause too much harm."

Sol scratched his head: "That's what I said, but who knows what tricks that guy will pull up, it's always worrying."

Following him, he waved and called Kress: "Take someone to search nearby, remember to be careful."

While Saul and Jessica were dealing with the aftermath, Walsa turned his head and looked around, just in time to see Hitches not far away.After thinking for a while, he slid down the sloping city wall and walked over there.

"Mr Hitches."

Hitches, who was muttering and squatting on the ground, didn't know what he was doing, turned his head when he heard the words: "Oh, it's you."

Walsa said: "You saved me just now, right?"

"What? I don't understand what you're saying." Hitches exaggeratedly "exclaimed".

"I'm not mistaken. It's a high-level defensive alchemy. No one else can use this territory except you." Walsa said eagerly.

Hitches glanced aside with a guilty expression: "I, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Walsa stepped up to him: "Don't pretend, I know it's you. I really don't understand, as the best alchemist in the guild, why are you hiding here and..."

Before he finished speaking, Hitches covered his mouth and dragged him aside: "Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Do you really want to thank me?"

With his mouth covered, Walsa could only nod his head.

Hitches whispered: "Okay, then you promise me that you will not tell anyone about seeing me here."

"Why?" Walsa finally found a chance to speak.

"Oh, you're still young, you won't understand." Hitches shook his head slowly, his face full of regret.

Walsa: ...You, you are just perfunctory me...

"Anyway, anyway, I have my own reasons." Hitches was embarrassed.

After his face straightened, he said solemnly: "I don't want to go back to the guild anymore. If you weren't Albert's son, I would never make an exception and use alchemy again."

Looking at him intently, after a while, Walsa nodded seriously: "I understand."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hitches patted him on the shoulder. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the exclamation of many people from the city wall: "Look, what's going on?"

The two hurried over, and everyone was looking at the battlefield in surprise.In the arena, the remaining zombies and skeleton soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

"What's wrong with these guys?" Saul asked strangely.

After being stunned for a while, Walsa said ecstatically: "They lost the support of necromancer magic, so they returned to the state of corpses. This shows that there are no necromancers nearby."

"Really? You mean, all the enemies have been killed?" Sol asked quickly.

Walsa nodded: "As long as you clean up the battlefield, you can...Huh?"

As he said that, he looked into the distance. In the pitch-black mountains at the end of the battlefield, a spot of scarlet slowly rose into the air, which was extremely eye-catching under the reflection of the raging fire below.

"What is that?" He couldn't help stretching his fingers.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw the scarlet.But the distance is too far, no one can see what it is.

At this moment, the red dot rose into the air, and then quickly floated towards this direction.

Soon, everyone was able to take a rough look by the light of the fire. It was a human-shaped object in a tattered red robe. The wide robe was fluttering in the night sky with the wind, and there seemed to be nothing inside.

"Strange, it looks like a necromancer, but how can he fly?" said Boqi with the best eyesight.

Lesta waved his ax excitedly: "Who cares so much about him, this guy dared to show up and see how I split him in half."

Chip had a serious expression on his face: "It's not right, I always think it's not that simple."

At this time, Walsa suddenly murmured: "It's over..."

"What?" Thor didn't hear clearly.

With a wry smile, Walsa raised his head: "Saul, I'm sorry for you, I still got Lovell in trouble after all."

Noticing his unusual reaction, Jessica asked in surprise, "What the hell is that?"

Before Walsa could speak, Hitches suddenly said, "It's a lich. I didn't expect that little Lovell could even attract it."

"Witch, Lich!?" Thor looked at the ghostly red figure in midair in disbelief. Is this the most advanced form of a necromancer?
"Whatever he is, get ready to fight!" Lester jumped up.

Walsa shook his head: "It's useless, we can't be his opponent, even running away is futile, Lovell is finally finished..."

At this time, his face was pale and despairing. How could he still have the shadow of the optimistic young man he was usually?It can be seen that the appearance of the Lich has completely destroyed Walsa's confidence.

"Damn, don't be kidding, what Lovell is over, can't we still live well? What about the lich, I don't believe that he has three heads and six arms." Sol was vicious, showing his true nature as a ruffian.

Jessica looked at Hitches next to her: "Mr. Hitches, are liches really so scary?" She knew that this bad middle-aged man was the most knowledgeable among them all.

Hitches sighed: "I should have guessed it when I saw the spirit body bone spear, I just thought that there would be nothing attracting the lich here, so I was lucky, but I didn't know that he really came .”

Hearing the meaning of his words, she seemed to agree with Walsa's words. Jessica asked in surprise: "Could it be that you can't even deal with him?"

Hitches shook his head with a wry smile, and added in a low voice: "Alchemy is not good at fighting. I am no match for that guy at all. Besides, I don't want to break my oath anymore."

Following him, he clenched his fists in frustration: "It's a pity that I haven't mastered the practice of magic. If you give me a few more years, maybe there will be a way. I'm really not reconciled..."

Sol on the side couldn't help wiping off his sweat. At that time, you might be able to wipe out the Lich and Lovell together.

But even Hitches said such dejected words, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

At this moment, the Lich had already flown to the front, and he descended slowly until he reached the level of everyone's line of sight, just suspended in mid-air quietly.

This was the first time that Sol observed the Lich at close range. The other party was covered with a worn red magic robe, the hem of the robe was torn, and the torn cloth strips were blowing in the wind.However, looking in from under the robe, nothing can be seen except a thick darkness, only two red lights exposed under the hood of the magic robe, showing his existence.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, everyone from Lowell, Collins of the Necromancer Guild." The Lich spoke first, unexpectedly, unlike the cold feeling that Necromancers used to give people, his tone was no different from that of ordinary people.

"Do you want..." Thorben wanted to ask "what do you want to do", but felt that this was superfluous.

Facing the silence of the crowd, Collins laughed slyly: "Everyone, what's the matter with you, am I so scary? Don't worry, I just want this young man." As he said, his eyes looked at Wo elsa.

Under Collins' gaze, Walsa gritted his teeth and walked out: "If I leave it to you, can you let the people in this territory go?"

Before Collins could speak, Jessica suddenly said, "Walsa, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. I think they planned to wipe out Lovell from the beginning."

"Giggle..." Collins let out a low laugh, "What a smart girl."

As he spoke, he faintly floated back and forth in the same place, like a person pacing back and forth while thinking: "Your combat tenacity really surprised me, those three trash are quite capable necromancers in the guild, no It still disappoints me in the end.”

Suddenly, Collins stopped fluttering, and said in a very serious tone: "No way, the information this kid stole from us is too important, and I can't let go of any possibility of leakage. So everyone in Lovell, I'm sorry, please rest assured Come into the arms of the Underworld God."

Click!In an instant, everyone on the scene clenched the weapons in their hands tightly. This self-talking, careless guy in front of him made everyone feel a bone-chilling chill.

"Hey, don't be so nervous. To be honest, you are really worthy of praise for forcing me to do it myself. So, in return, I should also show some sincerity."

While speaking, Collins raised his right hand lightly: "Come out, the great dragon soul that belongs to the nether world, my summoning will satisfy your desire for blood, flames, fighting and killing. The creatures in front of you, this town, are for you The ritual of showing up."

In an instant, a huge ring with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly appeared on the ground behind Collins. The white brilliance on the surface of the ring was constantly dancing, like a pool of shining light.

Then something began to slowly emerge from the center of the ring, rising higher and higher, and finally jumped out of the light.When it showed its full size, what appeared in front of everyone was an extremely astonishing and terrifying thing.

This is a huge dragon skeleton, with countless large and small bones forming an exquisite skeleton full of killing aura.It spread its wings with only bones left, hovering in the air, its huge body still carried the majesty of its life.

"Oh my god, it's the bone dragon..." For a while, everyone whispered in horror.

Seeing this, the residents in the rear who helped defend the city and transported supplies became even more chaotic.People screamed, ran, and expressed their inner fear with the loudest movements and voices.

Thor finally understood why Walsa was so desperate. Just the bone dragon in front of him could easily razed Lovell to the ground.The most powerful undead creature can be easily summoned, and the horror of the lich is undoubtedly revealed.

Could it be that Lovell is really hopeless?

Seeing the reactions of everyone below, Collins nodded as if enjoying himself, followed him by raising his right hand high, and the body of the bone dragon above his head was retracted, and he immediately made a pre-attack posture.

The air seemed to condense at this moment, and everyone's mind went blank, and they all stared blankly at the Lich's hand.Because with this hand falling, there will be no more living people present.

At this moment, in the night sky on the right side of the relic forest, a white beam of light shot up into the sky, straight into the sky.The beam of light is like a white line on a pure black drawing board, extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

Startled, Collins suddenly turned his head away.

Looking at the beam of light shooting directly into the night sky in the distance, the cloth robe outside his body couldn't help shaking, and the soul fire under the hood was even more wobbly, showing that the Lich was extremely excited at the moment.

"There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong, it's this thing, I didn't expect that I would meet here..." He couldn't help but muttered.

Suddenly, the lich's body floated up and landed on top of the bone dragon's head. Then, to everyone's surprise, the bone dragon didn't attack them, but flew towards the direction of the beam of light like lightning.

With a loud bang, the bone dragon passed over its head, and immediately brought a gust of wind.Everyone bent down involuntarily, and after the gust of wind dissipated, how could there be any shadow of the Lich at the scene?
Everyone looked at each other in blank amazement, what's going on?Why did you run away suddenly?
"Is it because of that?" Thor couldn't help turning his head to look at the beam of light in the distance, he had already seen that it was the direction of the relic forest.

What was it that made Collins abandon everyone and leave without hesitation?

"Then... will that thing come back?" At this moment, a guard asked.

Although he was lucky enough to escape, no one is sure whether the Lich will never return.With the nightmarish experience just now, no one wants to experience it a second time.

"I don't know, but it's best to evacuate the residents immediately." Chip said calmly.

"Is there still time?" Walsa couldn't help but ask, there are quite a few residents in the town, and it may not be possible to evacuate them all in a short while.

Jessica rolled up her sleeves skillfully: "We can only buy time as much as possible, we must not stay here and wait to die. Take the necessary supplies and the injured, and we will leave immediately."

As expected of Lovell's most trustworthy steward, as soon as her words came out, everyone immediately took action, and the scene was in a hurry, with busy figures everywhere.

Suddenly, Jessica noticed that Sol was still looking at the beam of light, and couldn't help saying: "Lord, let's go, we don't have time."

Saul didn't respond as if he didn't hear her words.He didn't turn his head until Jessica yelled again: "You guys go first, I want to go and have a look."

"What?" Jessica was shocked: "Are you crazy?"

Saul exhaled: "No, I don't know why, I always feel that something important is happening over there."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Jessica also became serious: "You mean, it might be the ruins?"

Sol nodded, back and forth, the Adventurer's Guild, the Necromancer's Guild, and even Elebena were more or less involved there, but when Collins saw that strange light, he didn't care. Letting everyone go without hesitation made him believe that there was something incredible in it.

Another reason why Sol was unwilling to speak was that the key that Bravella entrusted him to find was in the ruins at the moment.That is related to whether he can get the treasure of Kajirido, and he will spend the rest of his life profligately. If there is something wrong, it will be too late to cry.

Therefore, both public and private, he has a reason to follow up and take a look.

Jessica was a little anxious: "But that lich has already passed, who knows what else is there, do you want to die?"

Sol is not worried about this, he said: "I'm just going to take a look, and then just hide away, there should be no danger. Besides, don't forget that the ruins are the heart of the Adventurer's Guild. Do you think a Lich appears?" Are they going to ignore it there? I can't wait to see the action."

"You..." Jessica couldn't help being angry because she didn't expect him to still be joking and chatting leisurely.

"If we're lucky, the Adventurer's Guild will kill that Lich, and we won't have to abandon our homeland. So follow along, there's no harm," Thor said again.

Jessica was finally moved: "The ruins are far away from here, how do you plan to get there?"

Thor spread his hands: "I have no choice but to use the pure agent again. I hope Simba can be obedient for a longer time this time."

Jessica said anxiously: "How can this work? The potion is very unstable, and you almost died because of it yesterday. What if Simba throws you off halfway? Even if you don't die, you fall into the ruins forest alone... "

She didn't say the following words, but the meaning was obvious: Then you are dead.

Sol felt helpless: "Then what to do, the winged horse is still in Diviji Castle, not here."

After hesitating for a moment, Jessica suddenly said, "Let me go with you."

"You?" Saul looked at her in surprise.

Jessica nodded: "I can control Simba well, with me following, at least nothing will happen to you on the way."

"But what to do here?" Saul couldn't help but ask.

Jessica said: "I will ask Chip and Kress, and Grandpa will also help. You are right, it will take a whole night to evacuate everyone, and once the Lich comes back, it will be over. Even if we can escape, little Even the town can't be kept, in this case, it's better to try your luck."

Seeing her serious face, Sol considered for a moment and finally nodded: "That's good, but remember, no matter what happens, we can't get involved."

"Don't worry, it's not just once or twice to mess with you." Jessica said lightly.

Although the tone was flat, it revealed the trust and tacit understanding formed by the two of them for a long time supporting each other and going through hardships together.Sol felt warm in his heart. He understood that although there were some reasons on his lips, the reason why Jessica would follow was actually entirely for himself.

Jessica walked over, pulled Kress and whispered a few words, Kress glanced at Sol in surprise, and then nodded.

"Okay, let's go." She walked back to Thor.

In order to prevent the residents from making unnecessary guesses, the two came to a hidden place nearby. Sol called out Simba, and then the two rode on the Griffon and flew towards the relic forest.
