They like to be with people who are beautiful in appearance and pure in heart. Simply put, they are similar to goblins. On the contrary, if their words and actions are too rough and savage, they will even scare away the goblins.
...Perhaps Auleta was indeed a handsome man before he became a lich, but now, with only a decayed skeleton left, he can scare a child to tears without any disguise.
But the real problem isn't actually that
Noticing Roland's gaze, Auletta just shrugged helplessly.
"Okay, Your Majesty... I know this is not normal. But please believe that Seruna's vision is normal."
"I know."
Roland nodded gently: "I understand. Aging has its own beauty. Birth, old age, illness and death, every stage of life has its own moving parts."
Auletta just sighed.
"...if it is a naturally aging appearance, it certainly has its own charm."
"There is no need to feel inferior, Auletta. All things are born from dust and shall return to dust."
Hearing Roland's words, the gray-white flames in Auletta's eyes suddenly jumped.
However, Roland understood that he was definitely not being touched, but was becoming wary of himself.
But Roland had no worries.
Because he knew in his heart that as long as Auletta figured out his purpose, he would never go against him.
Although this lich with only a skeleton left is not famous, his background is not simple.
If I could sum it up in one sentence, it would be the first generation of Arthur.
Both An Ruosi and later Arthur can be regarded as Auletta's descendants. He is the former secret keeper and the heir to Merlin's destiny.
In addition, he also has a more famous name, that is, the Gate of Natural Disaster.
The task Merlin gave him was to release Elucard, who was sealed by Tyr.
The reason why Oletta became an undead was not actually because he wanted to seek immortality, but because he believed that he had to enter Elkart in order to find a way to remove Elucardo from the seal.
In order to avoid suspicion, he had to give up his identity as the heir to the fifth tower, come here as a wizard who longed for immortality, accepted the transformation of the undead, and became a member of the new sect of undead.
This is actually quite reasonable. The White Tower in that era was far less powerful than it is now. The gods continued to persecute wizards for three hundred years. Many wizards who were not very determined left the White Tower in search of safety and security.
Life.
However, even if they themselves did not have such an idea, once they were caught, they might still expose the wizards of the White Tower. The White Tower in that era did not have the same relaxed research environment as the White Tower today. They
Not even a piece of land.
The reason why they call themselves White Tower Wizards is just because they live in a white tower that can be moved at any time. Once their location is exposed, they will immediately launch a teleportation array to move their position.
That white tower is now Merlin's fifth tower. And one of the responsibilities of the secret keeper is to teleport directly to the white tower after discovering that his position is exposed, regardless of whether there are colleagues who have just left the white tower.
They haven't come back yet. It can be said that those wizards who were unable to catch up with the teleportation in the White Tower due to unexpected events will basically never be able to come back in this life.
With such a lofty identity, it would be difficult for Auleta to fake his betrayal. Because he knows too many secrets, it is impossible for the White Tower to let him go.
So, in order to have a chance to enter Elkart, Anvilia finally sent a gold-level magician to hunt him down.
You know, Auletta was still very young at that time. Not only did he lack combat experience, but his own witchcraft level was only around the Silver level at best. Under the full attack of the great wizard who was unaware of the truth, Auletta
After trying all his strength, he was finally able to drag his body with only half life left into Elkart.
At that time, his left lung was cut in half, the scars on his right arm were so deep that the bones were visible, and there were more than 20 large and small fractures all over his body. His abdomen was cut open directly horizontally, and his liver was ruptured. If he hadn't covered his intestines with his hands,
It can flow all over the place.
The dying Oletta was discovered by a soul warlord. The soul warlord originally planned to make him an unjust ghost, but after he happened to recognize his identity, he did not dare to delay, but chose to immediately seek blood from his superior.
Countess Chris asked for instructions.
It can only be said that Auletta's life should not have been cut off, and he happened to encounter the relatively enlightened undead of the New King's Sect, so he could survive and be transformed into an undead. Even as long as the soul warlord ignored him, he would die soon.
However, even if Oletta was transformed into an undead, he still refused to use alchemical products such as living spines and blood worms to replace his body like ordinary undead, maintaining the activity of his body and the beauty of his appearance. Everyone
He thought that his dignity as a wizard did not allow him to use the research and development results of his mortal enemy, the alchemist, but only he knew that it was his will as a human that did not allow him to use this kind of material refined from his own kind.
Drugs maintain their false appearance.
He uses his own bones to remind himself that you are not undead, but you are no longer human either.
But by mistake, because of Auleta's own influence in the White Tower, many wizards followed him into Elkart and imitated his behavior, instead of protecting their bodies that collapsed due to negative energy.
, but carried out his own research wholeheartedly.
So, after repeating this for hundreds of years, these dark wizards who called themselves lich formed a considerable force in the White Tower. As the first lich, Auletta's status has surpassed that of the past.
Countess Bloodthroat has become a very important figure in the new royal sect.
In the original plot line, after Elucard came to Elkart, he first met Auletta. The main mission of the first chapter of Elkart begins with the Lich King who has been playing Infernal Affairs for hundreds of years.
The internal fighting among the undead, the mutual crusade between the forces, the white tower of the old era, the birth of the lich and the emotions that have been entangled for hundreds of years fully demonstrate this thousand-year-old decaying city.
There is no doubt that this cunning guy is not as decadent and gentle as he appears.
As the saying goes, those who are too old to die are those who are thieves. As one of the only seven people with the ability to open a channel to the outside world, if he was really just a simple scholar, he would have been crushed to death by the factional struggle in Elkatri's eyes.
In this case, the fairy who can stay with him will definitely not be that simple.
The real question is not that Auletta actually has a goblin friend; the real question is, why does Roland never know that a goblin who is so small can sit on Auletta's shoulders? It's like
It's the same thing that was conjured out of thin air.
...No, Seruna?
Roland frowned slightly.
Is it an illusion... Roland felt as if he had really heard this name somewhere. (To be continued.)
