"Your Majesty, what is this important matter? Even in such a quiet city of plague, do you think it is unsafe to speak out? Do you have to condescend to come into my little castle?" Liu Yifei looked around with some amazement.
Visit,” said Toradre.
"Humph~ Ignorant person... Every holy city is not only a potential powerful territory for a race, but also a heavy and eternal memory.
You must know that the identification of any holy city means that there was once a hero who was at least the legendary peak level buried here, and he must have had infinite protection for his people before he died.
Only this kind of strong emotion can trigger divine favor, bless this city, and upgrade it to the level of a holy city~
Generally speaking, how many holy cities a race has will directly determine the overall strength of the race.
This is a major event involving the rise and fall of a clan. Therefore, in history, any holy city is a place where clan members compete to visit. Almost all strong men will go to the holy city to seek God's favor and listen to God's voice~
However, this glory suddenly ended many years ago. During that period, one after another the holy cities on the mainland lost the glory of God's grace, and then continued to be inexplicably ruined and destroyed~
Even if the strong men of various races tried their best, they still could not reverse this weird decline ~ until eventually, all creation disappeared from people's eyes...
Okay~ These are all old things~
What you need to know is that facing a holy city, even if it has just recovered and is relatively dilapidated, for a being like me, it must be examined and touched with reverence~"
"Um... Then your Majesty is not really here to visit and worship, is he?" Liu Yifei asked with a drop of sweat on his head.
"That's not the case, it's just happening by the way. In fact, the reason why I wanted to talk to you alone is related to that stubborn bone dragon~"
"Ah? Gregory? What's wrong with it? Is there any problem with the contract?" Liu Yifei was startled and asked.
"That's not true~ It's just that when we made the contract, I learned that it actually learned information about the recovery of 'Inheim' from you. I wonder if this is true or false?"
"Oh, this is true. What's going on?"
"Well... that is to say, you originally knew the name of the ancient hero 'Inheim'? Where did you know it? The names of these ancient heroes have long been completely buried in the dust of history. Generally speaking,
Only in the materials left by the kings of previous dynasties can there be a few mentions or vague descriptions.
As a strong man at the same time, it is not surprising that Gregory knows something about them~ But in your state... I am very curious, how do you know about 'Inheim'?
Even the previous team of adventurers sent by Solna to perform the mission didn't know anything about 'Inheim', and their names were all
Can you tell me your source of information?"
At this point, Toradre's body, which had been facing away, suddenly turned around. Two contemptible eyes on a stern face looked directly at Liu Yifei, wanting to directly see through Liu Yifei's soul. Liu Yifei suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.
The chill climbed up my spine~
"Um...well...Your Majesty~ This matter is rather troublesome to explain, I..."
"If it's troublesome, let's talk it over slowly. Today, I have to figure this out~" With that said, Toradre actually found a chair and sat down, as if he didn't intend to let it go easily.
Liu Yifei's appearance.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei felt more and more confused. How should he explain this? Could it be that he told the NPC in this game world that he had played the stand-alone version of Heroes of Invincible 3 in the real world outside, so he must understand this
Inheim?
Oh my god~ Toradre is a ghost if he can understand it
What to do?
Making up lies?
It seems that can only be the case...
Then, Liu Yifei could only start talking nonsense~ Considering that it was very early when he first met Gregory, he had to find a point of agreement at this time, otherwise he would probably be killed by this old immortal guy
Ask what flaw is there~
Therefore, Liu Yifei made up a super exaggerated "life experience" for himself, saying that as an adventurer, before coming here, he actually briefly stayed in the Jiuxin City of the Human Race's Jiuxin Empire, and then accidentally stole
I talked about entering the tomb of the late king.
In order to appear more convincing, he even briefly mentioned some other historical things mentioned in the tombs of the former kings.
It's just that Toradre was obviously unmoved. No matter how brilliant Liu Yifei said, he remained unmoved. He just sat there quietly with a pensive expression, as if he was judging whether what Liu Yifei said was true.
Fake.
"...The above is all, so all my understanding of Inheim comes from there." Liu Yifei concluded with a sigh.
After finishing speaking, both parties fell into a brief silence. Only the irregular sound of Toradere's fingers tapping the armrest of the chair echoed in the room, impacting Liu Yifei's heart.
"Whether what you say is true or false..." Toradre suddenly spoke, "I can't find any possibility to prove that you are a spy sent by other races~"
"Ah? How could His Majesty say that? This is absolutely impossible."
"I said, I can't find this possibility, so you don't need to be overly nervous. I just need to use this to prove that Solna's death has nothing to do with you. After all, people who can know the deeds of ancient times are not simple.
Putting this character in your body really makes me puzzled, so I can only come out and ask you directly.
If it weren't for that stubborn bone dragon and I don't know where you got the news, I would have known everything as early as in the soul space~"
"Um...then what is your Majesty's order? This...does this have anything to do with Inheim?" Liu Yifei asked confused.
"Because, that Inheim is our destined enemy," Toradre suddenly said in an unquestionable tone.
"Ah? What? Our enemy? Your Majesty...this...are you going to send me a mission?" Liu Yifei said with a frown.
In fact, the biggest trick when communicating with these advanced NPCs is a sense of immersion. If players want to obtain more information and tasks, they must enter the game world and explain to them with a sense of immersion, in order to gain their recognition~
However, many times this kind of substitution can also cause some trouble~
Just like now, it was obvious that Liu Yifei's past performance made King Toradre very satisfied. The "we" he said without even thinking about it shocked Liu Yifei. He didn't understand when he became "we" with him.
"Could it be said that this is because of the "best friend" relationship?
Fortunately, Liu Yifei has not received any system prompts yet, indicating that he still has time to correct this small mistake~ If he wants to reject this commission, he can just pretend to be dumbfounded~
After all, if Liu Yifei had to fight a pervert who could kill a group of people instantly, Liu Yifei would rather have his head bitten off by Gregory...
"No, no, no~ Lord Liuyun, I think you may have misunderstood me~
What I want to say is that this Inheim is the enemy of our entire ghost clan, not you and me, but all the deceased of the entire ghost clan.
He is the destined enemy of the deceased."
"Ah? What? What...what's going on? After Inheim's resurrection, wasn't he himself an undead? Could it be that it was because he killed King Solna?" Liu Yifei asked in confusion.
"If it's just because of these 'irrelevant' reasons, no matter how powerful this Inheim is, he is just my personal enemy. As a former comrade, I have the obligation to avenge Solna.
As a new king, I have the obligation to avenge the previous king.
Publicly and privately, this Inheim has a great grudge against me~
However, the anger is not enough to destroy my sanity. Just because of these words, I will not define him as the enemy of the entire ghost clan in any case.
What really makes him stand on the opposite side of us is actually his identity..." At this point, Toradere's voice gradually lowered and seemed quite heavy, which further aroused Liu Yifei's curiosity.
~
"Identity? What identity can he have? Even in Erathia in the ancient times, he was a powerful hero lord, but today, the former human camp has long been split into several kingdoms of varying sizes.
And the current human kings will definitely not be so kind as to admit the status of an 'old hero' who lived countless years ago. This is simply a challenge to their dominance, not to mention that this person still exists as an undead right now?"
"No, no, no, these are just 'insignificant' things compared to the real reasons. What you said is too pale, my dear friend..."
If that's all, then I can just sit back and ignore it~ After all, a hero who is no more than a legendary hero is not enough to change the current continental structure.
What I'm really worried about is the identity of the other party's 'lich'..."
"Lich??? Oh... When I think about it, I still remember that Inheim himself mentioned this word, saying that he was resurrected as a lich. At first, I said it was a corpse witch, which seemed to make him angry.
." Liu Yifei recalled.
"What? You actually confused the lich with the corpse witch? Oh, my God, you are simply insulting a powerful man. If it were me, how could I let you go?
I can kill you on the spot...and even make you suffer more painfully than death."
"Oh, my great and wise Majesty, I beg you to stop being so pretentious and explain to me what is the difference between the so-called lich and the corpse witch?" Liu Yifei asked with a grimace.
"Well, in fact, as a necromancer of the ghost race, I am very curious that you don't know this issue~ How ignorant a necromancer must be to be unable to distinguish between a corpse witch and a lich? In order to prevent
If you go out and continue to be embarrassed, even if you don't ask, I will tell you about it...
First of all, you should have had some contact with corpse witches, right? Those guys are normal undead. As fifth-level creatures, they have a stronger strength foundation and higher growth potential. They are the backbone of the ghost army and are also
The leading provider of long-range firepower.
Corpse witches are actually what is commonly referred to as 'magicians', undead units that awaken after death or can be transformed into undead units.
Not only do they retain most of their magical power during their lifetime, but due to the strengthening of death energy and soul power, they will master a considerable amount of necromancy magic again after resurrection. As long as they are successfully awakened, even if the opponent was once a professional illusionist
, and will also instantly possess a large amount of necromancy magic.
In addition, magicians usually fall into the madness of pursuing the supreme power of magic. Many magicians have the urge to actively seek corpse witch transformation. After all, they think that they will get almost unlimited time and can continue.
Get lost in the wonders of the world of magic research.
However, after completing the sacrifice and rebirth, in fact most of the sacrifice magicians will lose their consciousness and become elite corpse witch 'soldiers' who only know how to act according to orders. Compared with their expected existence, these
Soldiers are actually cannon fodder, and those who sacrificed failed without exception...
Then let’s talk about the lich
By the way, do you know what some people said about the people of the gods?" Toradre, who spoke well, suddenly asked.
"People favored by gods? I've never heard of it~" Liu Yifei thought for a moment and shook his head seriously.
"The so-called people blessed by gods are actually easy to understand~it can be explained by their general strength.
Just like some rare dragon clan unknown to the world.
The number of these dragons is very small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them~
Compared with ordinary giant dragons, these rare dragons do not have ordinary soldier-type creatures. As soon as they are born, these rare dragons are strong at least spiritual level, so they are also called "people of the holy spirit" and even some extremely
Everyone born in the rare dragon clan has the strength of the legendary realm. They are the typical "legendary people".
And the lich...
They are very, very rare ‘Legendary People’…”
"What? Legendary people??? Your Majesty, you mean...all lichs have at least legendary level strength? This...how is this possible?" Liu Yifei exclaimed.
"Although it is ironic, I have to say that these incredible races do exist in the world. However, although the people of the Holy Spirit and the people of legend are rare, they are considered normal. After all, they are all naturally existing life forms. Even if they are powerful, they are only
can be attributed to the strength of its ancestors.
But the title of "legendary people" for lich is just that. In fact, lich is not a natural race at all. Just like corpse witches, they are also a group of sacrificed and reincarnated dead. Therefore, other races
No one recognizes the title of "Legendary People" of Lich.
The biggest difference between a lich and a corpse witch is the difference in the body of the sacrifice.
As mentioned before, corpse witches are all magicians. The power they control is arcana, spells and other similar powers. As you know, Emoni, the lord of the City of Suffering, is a very typical legendary level corpse witch.
, although I suggested that she switch to the vampire race when she was reincarnated...
As for the lich, their sacrificial body is..."
"Priest? Or... magician?" Liu Yifei blurted out~
"Smart~ As you said, the lich's true form before sacrifice is indeed a magician. Generally speaking, this includes high-level monks, bishops, even ascetics, and beings such as illuminators.
These high-level magicians use secret techniques to change their biological form and become a permanently moving skeleton. They can resist beings with weaker willpower, and even have their souls sucked away just by seeing them.
What's even more troublesome is that since they mastered quite powerful divine arts during their lifetime, after they are reborn as immortal undead, they have almost unlimited time to delve into these most familiar divine powers.
The final result is that they are able to directly use divine power.
For example, some laws and phenomena that directly produce effects allow them to have the ability to directly change the form of surrounding material existence without relying on magical power. This has reached the point where it is almost enough to become a god.
Therefore, usually for a powerful lich, the world's name is "demigod lich", which not only indicates their power, but also indicates the nature of their power."
"That means...could it be that all lichs are enemies of the ghost clan? But why? Aren't we all undead?" Liu Yifei was even more puzzled~ Since the ghost clan wants to face
Wars and challenges to other races, so in order to increase their strength, these extremely powerful lichs should be the existence that they try their best to win over. Why do you say that they are all the enemies who killed their fathers?
"No~ you completely misunderstood
In fact, no matter how strong the lichs are, they are always the deceased. We all remain consistent in terms of alignment~ and the priests of dark gods such as the Lord of Darkness are more likely to form powerful lichs.
Therefore, generally speaking, lichs are also an extremely powerful branch of the ghost clan and are not the so-called enemies.
The special one is just this newly formed lich named Inheim~"
"Ah? There is such a thing? But... but why is this?" Liu Yifei was really confused now~ Could it be that... ancient heroes are discriminated against nowadays?
