"Is it right here?" Looking at the palace in front of him, which was obviously taller and more conspicuous than other buildings, Rody said with reverence in his eyes.
"Yeah." Ye Zuxi looked at the envelope in his hand and put it away.
Crow rubbed his hands and went up to push the door open.
Accompanied by the dull sound of mopping the floor, what lay ahead was not the magnificent hall that everyone thought, but an endless darkness. Only a few crystal white light spots could be vaguely seen in the sky.
Such a huge building looks like this from the outside, but this is what it looks like inside.
The contrast is surprising.
After carefully stepping into it, Clay gestured back after confirming that his feet could be firmly planted, and then everyone followed him in.
"Nothing?" Rody looked around in the darkness. If it weren't for the faint light brought by the white light spots in the sky, they might not be able to see clearly.
"Anyway, let's continue to explore forward." Ye Zuxi said.
Everyone had no objections and gathered together to be careful of possible dangers around them.
When they traveled to a certain extent, the light spots in the sky changed. They scattered and began to gather in front of Ye Zuxi and others, and finally outlined an illusory white door.
"This is..." Crowe was confused.
Luo Di and Ye Zuxi also looked at each other. It was unclear whether this was some kind of mechanism inside the building or the result of the envelope brought by Ye Zuxi.
But at this time it seemed that the only way out was in front of them, and they had no reason to retreat.
Passing through the white door, accompanied by a burst of dazzling white light, everyone lost their vision for a moment.
When they opened their eyes again, they were already in a bright hall. At the end of the hall, there was a beam of light rising into the sky.
"That's..."
"The Death Boundary Monument, this familiar energy reaction is exactly the same as when the Red Spirit was suppressed." Rody said dullly.
Miss Han and Crowe were both very surprised.
They have now arrived in front of the Death Boundary Monument that has been passed down for a long time in the Immortal City!?
But apart from being surprised and excited, they also noticed a thin figure standing in front of the beam of light.
Molea?
Ye Zuxi thought so at first, but the melody coming from that figure made him feel something was wrong. It was different from the melody he used in response to Rody's ceremony.
Or is it the Lord of Death?
"Oh, what a surprise. I never thought that this backhand would be activated." Just as everyone was suspicious, the figure in front of him spoke. The vague and hoarse voice sounded like torture to the eardrum.
"Who is your Excellency?" Rody said solemnly.
"It's not important." The figure turned around slowly, tapping the dry gray staff gently on the ground. His head was tightly wrapped in a black bandage, with only two slender white horns sticking out.
But Rody did not give up: "I once heard that a lich with white horns suppressed the restless city in the first year after joining the Immortal City.
"However, the lich disappeared during the Red Spirit Rebellion. Some people speculated that it was dead, and more people thought that it took the opportunity to escape..." Rody said, looking at the figure in front of him again, "I didn't expect you to be here, in the most mysterious place in this immortal city."
"Oh! I seem to have an impression when you say that." Crowe slapped his forehead, and it seemed that this description also evoked a little memory.
Miss Han did not speak, but looked at the other party with more vigilance.
"I never paid attention to the eyes of the deceased." In this regard, the figure in front of him just said casually, but undoubtedly acknowledged Rody's identification of his identity.
"You are no longer an ordinary lich." Roddy said.
Ye Zuxi had already reacted when he heard that the other party was a "lich". Now when he heard Rody's certification, he immediately realized something.
If it's not an ordinary lich, what else could it be?
Great Lich!
Ed asks for the investigation target of his second mission!
"You are very smart. Among all the wandering souls I have seen, it is very rare that you can achieve this kind of thinking ability with only a tenth memory." The white-horned lich did not hesitate to praise Rody.
.
But then he shook his head: "But even so, you still can't get over the high wall."
Its sight turned to Ye Zuxi: "Living people are rare, but it is expected. Did you bring changes to this ruthless city?"
"Are you a great lich?" Ye Zuxi was too lazy to consider the other party's words, and just wanted to confirm the other party's identity.
"Sure enough, it seems that my activities have indeed aroused the ideas of some people from the outside world. Even the closed Indais has a way to enter. I have to sigh." The white-horned lich also confirmed to himself.
"It seems right."
"I am the great lich you are looking for. Are you sent by some existence to deal with me? No, if you are here to deal with me, then you can go directly. In other words, do you just want to pass the Death Boundary Monument investigation? Hmm
, reasonable." Lich said calmly, placing a completely different emphasis on Ye Zuxi than on Roddy and others.
"It was you who spread that drug to the outside world." Ye Zuxi frowned, recalling in his mind the fate of people who took that drug.
"I have no intention of justifying my plot, but human beings' depravity does not need to be tested. All I did was give him a gentle push." The Lich said.
"what are you up to?"
"I want to experience it." The Lich said deeply.
"Experience?"
"I am a lich that was born from a certain necromancer's spell mistake. Unlike other lichs transformed from the dead, I have no emotions. That kind of thing does not belong to the dead, and I have not 'lived'
"I have been able to bring this to me." The Lich said slowly, not hiding what he was thinking.
"After my mage was killed, I inherited his legacy of knowledge and escaped. But among those legacy, I discovered his diary.
"That diary describes the story of a poor human child struggling in the slums, raising his younger brother and sister, and doing his best. He picked up a formula for death magic by accident. With good luck, his
His talent was suitable for this, so he became a wild necromancer.
"In order to make a living, he did a lot of things he should and shouldn't do. At the lower level of mankind, he learned how powerful magic is, even death magic that would be ostracized by ordinary people.
"But what he did was not for himself. The wealth he gained was all for his younger brothers and sisters. However, how ironic that he killed his sister's lover during the mission, who was a nobleman of that country. It was him
His sister's protection for the rest of her life. Although he doesn't think so himself, he makes money for his younger siblings to study in the hope that they can achieve happiness through their own abilities like him.
"However, happiness only exists in longing. He took a life indifferently, and because of his neglect of his relatives, his younger brother discovered the clues. His younger brother reported him because what his younger brother learned in school was not what he learned.
The idea of self-improvement was about 'justice' in that country. And he himself was surrounded and suppressed and died because of this.
As the Lich narrated, everyone present was silent for a while.
After the Lich finished telling this story, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Is it stupid? Is it ridiculous? I don't think so. I'm just curious. I want to know what is the motivation that drives him to insist on taking care of his relatives, and what is the justice in his brother's heart?
What is it, what is the psychology of abandoning his brother who protects him in every possible way?
"So I went to research. I caught his younger siblings. Because they lost their brother as their source of income, their lives became difficult again. I checked their bodies, minds, and souls, but I still couldn't see through them."
The lich stretched out his withered hand, seemingly in a trance.
"From that time on, I decided that I wanted to get, experience, and understand the...emotions that cause human beings to move and degenerate each other."
