What is the relationship between me and this bad guy in front of me?
I'm afraid, I haven't been able to explain clearly for a long time.
There was a time in the past when we were adventure companions, and then for more time, it was the relationship between the brave and the devil. Of course, the longest lasting relationship was between the jailer and the prisoner.
Now the jailer says he is tired, old and doesn't want to work anymore, but he plans to hand over the prison to the prisoners?
"Are you kidding?! Are you going to hand over this city to me, a lich? I, the devil who almost destroyed the world? Stop joking!"
Adam smiled bitterly.
"I don't think it's reliable either, so who do you think I can leave it to?"
Yes, who should I leave it to? As a red dragon, Xiaohong is in line with her racial characteristics. She sleeps when she is full, finds someone to play with when she wakes up, and goes to bed when she is tired... But if she is the city lord, I am afraid that
It will be sold into gold coins in two days.
The last sage of the Big Three, Margaret? She is shrewd and knowledgeable, so she should be a suitable candidate.
"Of course Margaret was the first choice, but she said no."
Of course others won't do it. She has spent more than a hundred years of her youth here just to do it. Now you are so ignorant that you are planning to sacrifice your life for love across a long river of time and then leave your responsibilities to others, Marge.
Lite didn't try to fix you, she was already very restrained.
Looking at the unhappy man in front of me, I couldn't help but feel angry. How could a good girl like Margaret fall in love with this idiot.
"Damn it, if I could have a good girl like Margaret..."
"Haha." Adam smiled proudly, a smile that made people want to hide their faces and hit him hard.
"Asshole, you've already been beaten."
Well, it’s better to act than to think. Now that I think about it, why should I hesitate? Let’s give this old handsome guy a black eye!
Then the two men continued to fight, but ten seconds later, due to my professional disadvantage, I was suppressed by force again. When he sat on my spine and started to pull my leg bones, I had no choice but to surrender.
"Don't give up! The bone is going to be broken, it's going to be broken! It's really broken! You bastard, if I were still a Paladin..."
"Come on, tell me, will you take over or not?"
"No! I finally waited until I was released after serving my sentence. I still have my own things to do. Want to use my position as a warden to tie up prisoners? Are you kidding me!"
"A prison? You still regard this city, where we have devoted our efforts, as a prison that traps you? Are you willing to watch it become a vassal of other underground city masters because it has lost its protector?"
"Of course..." I originally said, "Of course it's a prison, who cares about it" or something like that, but halfway through, I hesitated.
Do I really regard the city that I spent more than a hundred years building with my own hands as a prison that binds me? I have to say that in my long life, the days in Sulfur Mountain City were the most enjoyable.
Multi-racial people live together, there has been no major war for decades, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This unique city is probably different from any other city in the Ashe continent. We have made it bit by bit.
"Okay, it's really annoying to let these greedy pigs take possession of the jewelry we worked so hard to create. So, what do you want me to do? Don't ask me to be the city lord. You know I have my own things to do.
I don’t have the energy at all. Just tell the truth.”
He knows me, and I naturally know him too. He should know that I cannot accept being the city lord. Maybe the current rhetoric was prepared by Margaret. He cannot make me accept something by retreating.
"Haha, the reaction is exactly the same as what Margaret said. Since we can't continue to be the city lords, then let's leave it to the next generation?"
"The next generation? We are all singles. What about the next generation? You mean..."
"Yes, An, my disciple, your rumored girlfriend, the red-haired An, is back."
----------------------------------------------
An, the orphan, is... about seventeen or eighteen years old this year.
Don't look at me like that. She is an orphan adopted by Adam. The last time we met was seven or eight years ago. Liches are not sensitive to time. We haven't seen her for many years. It would be nice if I could know her approximate age.
As for the rumored girlfriend, it was just a joke. She, who was still a loli at the time, saw our two brothers complaining about not having a girlfriend and hurting each other. She actually said that I was pitiful and wanted to marry me when she grew up. So, Lich Roland
That girlfriend who was a necrophiliac became a laughing stock that was always mentioned again and again.
"Stop joking, leave it to An... Are you sure there will be anything left in Sulfur Mountain City the next day?"
What kind of guy is An? To describe him in one sentence, he is a naughty kid! The naughty kid king in the world!
When we first met, I was applying grease to my bones. It was a high-end product mixed with salt snake butter. Just when I was happy that my skull was shiny...
"Ha, shoot!"
With a loud shout in a childlike voice, the scenery in front of me flew away, and the perspective in front of me kept spinning. That day, I realized that even a lich would be dizzy if his head turned too fast...
Later, my head flew several miles away, and my headless body scared countless passers-by into tears before I found my head that fell into the trash can...
Even without a sense of smell, I was disgusted by the garbage and bed bugs that afternoon.
I later found out that Ann, who was only six years old at the time, was obsessed with the game of football that I "invented". What she liked most at that time was to follow the biological instinct and see round objects, whether they were trash cans or small objects on the road.
Cats and puppies, then they shouted loudly and kicked them out.
The Lich's skull is also round, and the reflective head was very similar to the white ball...
I am not a stingy person, nor do I care about my children, but it seems that the other person fell in love with the "feel of the feet" of the powerful ejaculation.
"Those leather balls are for girls to kick. They will fall apart if you use too much force. Uncle Bones's skull is full of magical feeling. It is much more interesting than those boring balls. It is particularly exciting to kick."
At this point, I deeply hate the naughty child’s childish smile.
The most incredible thing is that her attacks came without any warning and were actually without any malicious intent. Most of the protective spells on my body were activated with malicious intent... So, before I re-programmed the protective magic, that paragraph
The days are truly unbearable to look back on.
So, every time we meet, it becomes a disaster.
In those days, I often only heard the iconic greeting "Hi! Uncle Bones", and then the vision in front of me flew away, the world rotated, 360 degrees, and then accurately entered the hole...
That's when I started to hate naughty kids so much.
Then, when percussion and rappers became popular, this naughty kid heard somewhere that magic bones are the best material for magic drum sticks, and can have a magic resonance effect that can shake up the entire audience...
.
The most advanced bone magic material, besides dragon bones, is the ultimate undead creature - the lich.
Well, her band "Skeleton Rock" did shock the city, but how could I be happy if I was praised for the excellent tone of the ribs when I was not a member of it as an instrument.
After she heard about ice castles and winter mountains from storybooks, she unexpectedly decided to create a sculpture art exhibition with bones as the theme.
"We don't have ice and snow here, only sulfur... But a lot of sulfur is poisonous. However, we are also a famous city of the undead. Use the undead to make sculptures! My artistic cells are burning."
When this girl left the city and went out to cause harm to the world, the whole city fell into a carnival, and the happiest people were probably the undead in the east district of the city who had been harmed by her.
Headless Horseman Polo Competition, Skeleton Dance King Selection, Banshee's "I am the King of Singers", she has no fear of the undead that normal people should have, and the entire Dongcheng District has been turned into a death-themed dead.
paradise.
However, the current theme of undead tourism also originated from this idea. The plan to "revitalize the Sulfur Mountain City Economic Belt using undead tourism as a selling point" has become a reality.
"Don't say that. Although that girl Anne is acting up, it is not her acting up that has brought the undead people much closer to other citizens. Don't you think that being the leader in this city requires not so much ability, but rather
Is it the view of treating citizens equally? In this regard, Anne is the best, right?"
"Humph, it was Margaret who told you again."
"Haha, that's what I thought too. If she wasn't highly regarded, how could everyone follow her and cause mischief?"
"...As a leader, it is not enough to have a bright side and popularity. Secret skills are essential. So, what you and Margaret want is for me to help her?"
"It's enough as long as she's on the road. It won't take long. And if you think she's not doing a good enough job, you can completely replace her. There's basically no one who can stop you anyway."
Adam smiled proudly. "Besides, little Annie is your fiancée, so it's natural to help her."
But I didn't answer. Originally, I planned to refuse, but an unexpected situation disrupted all my plans.
At this moment, a golden panel jumped in front of me.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have triggered an optional epic mission, Nirvana of the Phoenix."
"Task requirements: Find out and solve the crisis encountered in Sulfur Mountain City, and train Annie Levin to become a unique leader before Adam dies."
"Task reward: Epic-level discount coupon (half price for any item below epic level in the system store), qualification to open the main plot mission."
"At least... Before you leave your hometown, entrust your home to a reliable person. You won't think that you will see a ruin when you come back."
"Punishment for mission failure: Is it better to turn you into a skull with a mushroom head? Or is it better to turn you into a mushroom with a skull head? Neither is good? Then it would be a skeleton with a mushroom head."
I have triggered sudden missions from this cheating system before, but they usually involve killing so many creatures and giving them unreliable honorary titles. But this is the first time for me to do something so serious.
But at this moment, I was attracted by its rewards. The "qualifications for starting the main plot mission" were easy to understand at the time. It was finally time for the game plot to unfold. The so-called main plot missions are probably historical events experienced by game players. Then
The seven irresistible catastrophes of purgatory.
This was originally expected, but the other reward was very exciting.
"Discount coupon? If I can buy a physical body at half price, wouldn't I be able to be resurrected in advance?"
But then, another task popped up.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, triggering the optional epic quest, the Lich King is back again (why am I saying it again)"
"Mission goal: No matter what evil gods or conspiracies he is, tremble in front of the Lich King. Absolute violence may not solve everything, but at least it can solve the protesters. Become the city lord in the shortest time, rebuild the Eternal Night Army, and let
Let the living fear the undead scourge again."
"It's time to get those lazy people in Dongcheng District active. If you let them continue to fool around, it will really become a theme park for the undead. They have almost forgotten their honor as the Eastern Wolf of the Night."
"Task reward: the qualification to start the lord system and the continental hegemony plot, and the most perfect demigod-level lich body."
"Penalty for mission failure: To be honest, you are unparalleled in the world for being so cunning that you have caused such a scourge for thousands of years. I really can't think of any reason why you would fail."
