The low words reached North's ears. There was a vague feeling of lack of strength in the words, but no one could underestimate the owner of the words.
The person who said these words was Asri, one of the only two legendary lichs in the entire Dia. At this time, she did not show the impressive momentum in the lich gathering, but instead looked like an extremely powerful person.
An old creature.
Looking at the towering dark castle in front of him and feeling the howling wind all around, North felt a chill for no reason.
North knew that the castle in front of him was the seat of the Dia royal family, and was called the City of Shadows by other creatures.
After leaving the Tomb of Death, North followed Asri to her territory. He waited until she finished sorting out the transformed undead creatures, and then came here with her.
"Necromancer, your condition is very bad. You have too many questions occupying your thoughts."
In the process of long-term survival, the experience accumulated by the lich, combined with its keen perception, can easily see through the thoughts of most creatures.
Along the way, North saw everything about the lich, and was still full of doubts in his heart. However, due to the gap in status, he did not dare to ask Asri, but he did not expect that he would still find out.
North nodded: "I have always wanted to become a real necromancer. I want to know in what state the lich spent its long years. Great Mother of the Earth, can you tell me the answer?"
"What other status can there be? It's just researching spells and accumulating undead creatures. It's not much different from a necromancer."
Asri's answer was not the answer North wanted, so he added:
"I'm referring to the state of my heart. In the long process of accumulating undead creatures, won't the lich get tired? What kind of will supports you through the long years? As a lich who has escaped the limitations of the human body, you should
There is a will far beyond that of a necromancer."
North's inquiry stirred up some memories of Asri, but she just answered lightly:
"Liches don't have such thoughts when they live their own lives. Living does not require the support of any will, just like a necromancer. Have you ever seen a necromancer who is tired of his life?"
After a pause, as if he thought of something, Asri added:
"If there is a will that is believed by many lichs, it is the prophecy circulated among lichs. Many lichs, including me, firmly believe that a necromancer holding two artifacts
The arrival will completely change the situation in Diya."
"The undead creatures that the Lich has accumulated over countless years, excluding those that have long since decayed, will demonstrate their power in this battle, and you are fortunate to be able to join it."
After hearing Asri's words, North immediately understood who she was referring to. The necromancer holding two artifacts was none other than Rhodes, whom he had originally been loyal to.
From North's point of view, Rhodes seemed to have anticipated all of this, including North's selection as a puppet, which was also done under Rhodes' instructions.
Looking at the thoughtful North, Asri continued:
"You said you wanted to become a real necromancer. Now that you have been recognized by a group of lichs, it won't be long before you become the most prominent being in Dia. Even the current king of Dia will do it.
I respect you a lot, no one is more worthy of being called a Necromancer than you."
"All you need to do is to reveal your identity as the master of the artifact with my help, and you will be able to achieve all this."
Asri's words reached North's ears, but North did not show any excitement at all. It seemed that the things that other necromancers longed for could not attract his attention at all.
Transforming a large number of Corpse Witch Queens for Asri, in order to allow North to better complete the task, Rhodes specially transformed ten Corpse Witch Kings for him and gave them to him to control. At this time, these ten Corpse Witch Kings also passed through
After passing the gate of time and space, follow North and wait for his orders.
The corpses used to transform the Corpse Witch King all came from Asri's territory. Such a powerful lich would naturally not care about this.
These ten Corpse Witch Kings are all the undead creatures controlled by North. Apart from this, he does not control any undead creatures.
Rhodes did not expect North to achieve any amazing results by relying on these Corpse Witch Kings. He transformed the Corpse Witch Kings for him, just so that when other necromancers questioned North's ability, he could use the Corpse Witch Kings to perform ordinary Corpse Witches.
conversion.
The City of Shadow is one of the few undead cities that places the teleportation monument outside the town. The vast majority of towns, whether they are undead cities or not, will not make such a choice.
The decision to place the teleportation monument outside the town was made by the current king of Diya. It is said that it is to ensure the safety of the town, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a sign of fear.
Those who can make King Diya feel fearful are naturally not ordinary necromancers. Only real lichs are worthy of such treatment.
As the nominal agent of the lich, King Diya, most of the undead lords cannot ignore the orders he issued. No one knows what the orders contain, what the king himself means.
, or what those lichs mean.
The powerful undead lord can ignore King Dia's orders, but he dare not ignore the existence of those lichs.
The arrival of North is bound to change all this, and even the king's own status will be seriously threatened.
This was something that Rhodes had been worried about before. If it were Phoenix, he might not be afraid of King Diya's threat at all, but if it were North, the situation might be different.
In order to ensure that North would not be easily disposed of, Rhodes collected tokens from other lichs, hoping that these things would be of some help to him.
Outside the City of Shadows, even though Asri did not release his momentum, the Corpse Witch King following North and the pitch-black Gate of Time and Space still attracted the attention of the creatures in the city.
This kind of gate of time and space that is completely eroded by the energy of death is a symbol of the lich in Dia. Only a real lich can transform its own magic into this form. The existence of this gate of time and space means that
Equivalent to the arrival of the lich.
Compared with the shock caused by the appearance of the Lich, the Corpse Witch King following North seemed inconspicuous.
Just after North and his party appeared, no necromancers dared to take another look here. Instead, they all chose to avoid it. No more creatures came in or out at the city gate. The reputation of the lich had already penetrated into the hearts of all the necromancers here.
