"I can answer all your confusions, Mother Earth, you can trust me." In the cell, Erich replied quickly, with a little haste in his words.
Asri raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you still remember who you were before you became a lich?"
"Of course I remember, although countless years have passed, I will never forget these things."
Errich's expression remained unchanged, and his words were full of conviction.
"I was once a devout priest, serving those angels, and gained great power through this. However, due to my disagreement with my ideas, I finally gave up my former identity and became a lich."
Deep in the dark dungeon, Asri was not touched by Errich's words. Instead, he asked: "The ideas are inconsistent? What specific ideas are they?"
"Why are you asking these irrelevant questions?" In the cell, the blond man looked extremely dissatisfied and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you here to rescue me? When I return to Diya, I will be the king of the entire Diya.
”
Rhodes and Rowling looked at each other, and they both saw something unusual in Errich's reaction.
On the side, Aisha just watched all this silently without saying anything.
"Answer my questions with peace of mind. Don't you even have the most basic patience?"
Facing Asri's continuous questioning, the blond man pursed his lips and said slowly: "Those angels adhere to the concept of destroying evil and purifying all undead creatures, and I believe that undead creatures can be redeemed, so
I ended up becoming a lich."
However, facing the blond man's story, Asri shook his head: "It seems that you still haven't figured out what Erich's identity meant. In other words... you are not Erich at all."<
/p>
After hearing her words, several people present had obvious reactions.
Rhodes hugged his bones in front of his body and said nothing. Aisha had a smile on her lips, while Rowling felt stunned.
Among them, the blond man in the cage had the strongest reaction. His face became ferocious and he asked: "Are you questioning my identity?"
"Erich is not just a priest." Asri looked calm and explained, "He is the most devout priest in the entire human kingdom. He is known as a saint walking in the world. His heart is full of love for all things.
Mercy was given the power of the 'Holy Word' by angels."
Rhodes was startled. He got a lot of important information from Asri's words.
"As you said, his ideas went against the teachings of angels. In the end, he gave up everything in the human kingdom and became a lich, and with the help of the power of the realm of the dead, he always guided the lost undead creatures
."
Looking at the blond man in the prison, Asri's eyes showed a sense of nostalgia.
"Erich has all the good qualities worthy of praise. He is respected by all lich as the 'Revelator of Dead Souls'. He doesn't look like any other lich, but like those angels who guide souls." In the end,
She sighed, "I wanted to come here to meet my old friend, but unfortunately, you are not him at all."
"No..." In the prison, the blond man's body trembled. His brows were furrowed as he stared at Asri outside. "People will change. Even the will of a hero cannot remain unchanged forever.
This alone cannot explain anything at all."
His defense only earned Mother Earth a shake of her head: "Do you know what the Holy Word represents? The Holy Word represents beautiful qualities that will never die. Even after death, their faith will not be lost.
Any wavering, only in this way can they use the power of the 'Holy Word'."
"..." As if he had thought of something, the blond man lowered his head, and no expression could be seen on his face.
"If you were really Erich, how would you treat North, who is possessed by you?" Asri seemed a little dissatisfied, and his tone became a little more serious, "You would feel indebted, even if North is just an ordinary person.
Necromancer, you will also find ways to make up for him, and you will never do anything like causing North to be separated from his wife and children."
As if thinking of something, Asri closed his eyes.
"No... maybe from the beginning, when he realized that his awakening required destroying the consciousness of an innocent human being, he gave up the plan of awakening and instead opened his memory to that innocent human being, hoping that
This man can inherit his will. Am I right, North?"
As these words fell, Asri opened his eyes again, staring sharply at the blond man in the prison.
On the side, Rowling was so surprised that she could not speak. She pointed her finger at North tremblingly and her jaw kept trembling.
"Oops." Next to Rhodes, the black-haired woman chuckled, "It seems that someone's identity has been discovered."
Ignoring Aisha's taunts, Rhodes slowly stepped forward, only a fence separated him from the blond man.
At this time, the blond man seemed to have lost all his strength, and he was kneeling on the ground, with only his hands tightly holding on to the fence.
"Is what she said true? You are not Erich, but... North?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice.
Rhode's question came to his ears, but the blond man did not answer, but lowered his head deeply so that no one could see his expression.
Although he did not give a positive answer, his actions at this time undoubtedly confirmed Asri's words.
"Hmph." Rhode snorted coldly, with a hint of unkindness in his words, "I didn't expect that you could even deceive me."
"It's the easiest thing to deceive you, Lord Rhodes..." Finally, the blond man raised his head with a sad smile on his face. "You have never looked at me once, so how could you notice this?" "North, why are you pretending to be Erich?" After knowing the true identity of the person in front of him, Rhodes asked in a deep voice, "Has the power made you forget yourself? Or do you want to resist me?"<
/p>
"None of them..." The blond man raised his head and looked at Rhodes with complex emotions of reverence and despair in his eyes. "Only by becoming Erich and becoming the king of Dia can I stand on an equal footing."
In front of you, you taught me all this, and I just implemented my own will."
"Is this your will? You don't even dare to stand in front of me as North, and you only dare to use the identity of Erich as a cover. It seems that you will never become a real hero." p>
After saying that, Rhodes turned his head and stopped looking at the blond man in the prison.
