Normally, Sherlock should be in a wilderness in the shadow plane that is similar to the material plane, but obviously, he is in a room now, and he can see that the color of his eyes is yellow.
Yes, that proves that this place is not the shadow plane.
Either there was some problem when he was traveling across planes, which caused him to end up in this messy place.
Or, it's all just an illusion!
Blue Frog Transformation! Vision of Truth! Concentration of Heart!
Everything is still the same, nothing has changed, not even the eyes have moved, and there is still a trace of disgust and helplessness in the looking eyes.
"Meow!" With an indifferent meow, Zi turned around and walked towards the only staircase in the room with elegant steps.
Isn't it an illusion? Or is it that the effect of the illusion is too strong?
Sherlock was confused, but he had no better choice at the moment. He transformed into the shadow cat form and followed him. Firstly, it was easier to escape when he encountered danger. Secondly, it was to communicate better with the Azusa.
A highly intelligent creature like Azusa is not very powerful in combat. If five of them are of the same level, they can't defeat one Blue Feathered Bird Snake. But in terms of intelligence, ten Blue Feathered Bird Snakes can't compare to one Azusa.
"Hey, bro, where is this!"
This is his most common greeting phrase when facing strangers, but for a noble Azusa, this sentence seems a bit frivolous.
The black cat who walked up turned his head and took a meaningful look, and finally said helplessly: "My name is Karen Seslund, and my master asked me to take you up."
As soon as he heard the surname Seth Lund, Sherlock knew where he was. A cat had the surname of the Twilight Lord, and even a fool knew whose territory this was.
The Gate of Twilight was originally created by the other party, so it would be easy to do something during the plane transfer, but I just didn't know what the other party wanted to do with him.
Although he has been thinking about the throne of the Twilight Lord, in fact he is not ready to explore this mage tower. After all, the Twilight Lord is no longer the king who loved his people like his son, but has transformed into an evil lich.
.
All lichs are evil. Even if a good and upright paladin becomes a lich for some reason, he will gradually become corrupted when using those powerful and evil magics, and their good intentions will also change.
Then it became corrupted.
He may have become a lich in order to protect the town during his lifetime, but after turning into an evil lich, the paladin may decide that the best way to "protect" the town is to surround it with villages, towns, and farms.
destroy.
Of course, you have to ask whether there have been good lichs in the history of Faerûn, just like the good red dragons, they have always existed.
Sherlock had met Silinxi before. She had guarded the Cormanthor Forest as an elf lich for seven hundred years. Later, she was raped by the second goddess of magic, Mythra, when Myth Drannor was established.
Plastic surgery restored life and youth, and she embarked on the path of becoming an ageless loli.
But I won’t talk about these few cases. Almost every time they appear, they are accompanied by some major events. By the way, the most direct reason for the demise of Myth Drannor is the appearance of a red dragon from the good camp.
"I don't know what the Twilight Lord wants to do with me, Miss Karen!" The fact that Sherlock was teleported here was obviously the work of this lich, and this Azusa should be the other party's pet or servant.
"You will naturally understand this when you meet the master!" the black cat replied and then said nothing again.
What he is currently in should be the Twilight Lord's mage tower. The internal facilities are not much different from those of ordinary mage towers. The main difference lies in their servants.
As the level he was in increased, Sherlock finally saw various powerful undead creatures such as banshees, witch spirits, vampires, black knights, etc., as well as shadow creatures such as shadow spirits, shadows, ghosts, night shadows, etc.
However, without exception, these creatures maintain a certain degree of respect for Karen, the black cat.
No matter what method an Azusa uses, it can surpass many powerful creatures, which proves that the other party is not simple.
When they reached the top floor, the two shield guards opened the dark door and welcomed them in.
Well, after seeing these two large constructs, Sherlock finally understood how rich this lich was. He definitely took away all the treasures in Sesiren Valley back then.
In the huge room, apart from the flickering lights, there was only a thin figure in gorgeous clothes.
On the skeleton-like body, withered muscles are tightly attached to the exposed white bones. The eyes have long been decayed, but the crimson pupils still shine with evil light in the empty eye sockets.
"Nick, it's been almost 100 years, why don't you come out and meet your old friends?" The Twilight Lord recalled the memories of that year and said hello in a feigned familiarity.
This ordinary greeting surprised Sherlock. Isn't Nick dead?
No, even though I didn’t know how to kill the opponent at the beginning, normal methods cannot completely eliminate a ghost unless it is dispelled.
Could it be that Nick has been resurrected and has been living in his body?
"Forgot, you are now living on a flower."
Before Sherlock had time to ponder the mystery of these words, a burst of magical energy shot into him.
System prompt: You are affected by the domination of humans, your perception judgment fails, and you lose control of your body.
Dominate Human Beings is a magic control spell with extremely high judgment requirements. In theory, it can control the target creature to do anything, but in practice, it is not as effective as suggestion.
Of course, this also depends on who the caster is. This lich has withstood the attacks of those Shar followers on its own. Its level must be above 80. It is easy to control a level 30 druid.
Moreover, his order was not an action with a strong sense of resistance such as suicide, but just asked Sherlock to summon Huayidi.
When Nick's body floated out of the eternal dream, all these secrets began to be unraveled layer by layer.
"Oh, Mr. Seslund, I really didn't expect that the good king who justly accused me back then would choose the same path as me in the end." Nick did not scream out of his wits when he saw his old friend and enemy, but instead
He mocked in a humble tone.
"Nick, I have to admit that you were right back then. When I faced aging and death, I did not have the courage or willingness to end my life like this. Transforming into a lich may be the most correct thing I have ever done in my life.
choose."
"Yes, the most correct choice..." After saying this, Nick, who was calm at first, suddenly roared: "It was because of this choice that you killed your magic advisor and best friend, and now you say this is
