Arriving inside the City of Shadows, with the gathering of necromancers, the death energy in the city has become so intense that it is unimaginable. But the place where the death energy is most intense is the palace in the city, where Gretel is also
The destination of a line.
"These necromancers have no idea what kind of existence they admire, and all their wishes will probably come to nothing in the end."
Sensing the piety and yearning on the faces of all nearby necromancers, the woman next to Gretel let out a cold snort, and her words were full of disdain.
"Tamik, do you know something?" Grete asked with some doubts after hearing what she said.
"Of course I know...but it's useless to say anything now. These necromancers won't listen to what I say." The woman shook her head and said in a deep voice.
Gretel fell silent for a moment. He felt that Tamik obviously knew some secret, but she was vague about it and seemed unwilling to say more, so he changed the topic and said:
"You also said that these necromancers came to the City of Shadows to express their awe and loyalty to the holders of the artifacts. So in addition to the necromancers, how do vampires, one of the undead creatures, view the artifacts?
The holder’s?”
Tamik glanced at him and replied: "Vampires are not ordinary undead creatures. We are superior to any undead creatures. As for the holder of the artifact, he may be able to get the allegiance of the necromancer, but he is absolutely
Unable to gain approval from vampires."
Gretel didn't know how to refute for a while, so he just said: "But in the eyes of those necromancers, corpse witches are the best undead creatures."
"I understand what you mean, that's because of the existence of the artifact. If there were no artifact, those necromancers wouldn't think so."
There was a bit of dissatisfaction belonging to her in Tamik's words.
"Vampires are undead creatures born from a curse. The one who truly deserves the respect of all vampires is the ancestor of our family, a powerful vampire hero... Unfortunately, he has long lost his will and finally died in the undead.
In the hands of the mage."
Shaking her head, she continued: "No matter how powerful a being is born among the necromancers, it has no meaning to our vampire family. I came here not to make a pilgrimage like you, but to do something for another person."
Something..."
Grete seemed to understand something, so he nodded, and the two of them stopped talking and quickly headed towards the palace in the City of Shadows.
Outside the palace, many necromancers stopped here, waiting quietly. Although they did not know when the holder of the artifact would appear, no matter what happened in the future, they could not shake their will. p>
Grete noticed that Tamik seemed to have been to the City of Shadows and was very familiar with everything in the city. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the outskirts of the palace.
"Necromancer, you can't get close to this place without the permission of the holder of the artifact." As the two Gretels continued to approach, a necromancer wearing a black robe soon stopped them. p>
Looking at the necromancer in front of him, Tamik did not take him into consideration at all, and said in a deep voice: "I am a death knight affiliated with the Lich. Now get out of the way. I want to see the holder of the artifact." "The death knight of the Lich?" Hearing Tamik's identity, the guard outside the palace sneered disdainfully, "It seems you haven't understood the situation at all. Even the real Lich has to wait here.
You are just a death knight, what qualifications do you have to enter the palace?"
The guard's rank is naturally far inferior to that of the vampire king in front of him, but what he represents is the holder of the artifact in the palace behind him, which also gives him extreme confidence.
"What?" Hearing the guard's words, Tamik was stunned, and then asked: "You said that real lichs have to wait here? Where is the lich now?"
"I'm here." A low voice came from the side, and Tamik followed the sound and saw a creature she was familiar with.
That is one of the few remaining lichs, the vampire lich Shante. Shante was promoted to a lich as a vampire. Tamik, who was the king of Dia a hundred years ago and is also a vampire, is naturally very familiar with him.
,
"Lich Shante." Seeing the appearance of this lich, Tamik's eyes became solemn, "It seems that you have completely surrendered to the holder of the artifact."
"Surrender? No..." Shante replied slowly, "I just found what I have been pursuing. I will dedicate everything I have to the holder of the artifact!"
"..." Looking at Shante in front of her, Tamik fell silent for a moment. She clearly felt that something was wrong with this lich. The fanaticism in this lich was far beyond what she had seen.
The other necromancers seemed to be controlled by some magic.
This discovery also made Tamik secretly grit her teeth. In her memory, before Lich Stephen left the Tomb of Death, he was in the same state. He was a completely different person. p>
At that time, Tamik didn't know what happened to Stephen, so he just handed her the Terror Knight Troop he had trained. However, the Terror Knight Troop was completely destroyed in the Battle of Standwick, and the Lich Stephen also did not die.
Can return.
More than half of the lichs in Dia died in that battle. Tamik didn't know what happened there, but she had to investigate it all no matter what.
For this reason, when Tamik saw Gretel who was going to the City of Shadows at the risk of his own life, he made up his mind to follow him to investigate the real cause of death of those lichs.
"That..." Just as Tamik's expression darkened, beside her, Grete took the initiative to release the unique aura existing in her body.
After feeling this unique aura, before Grete could continue to say anything, the expressions of the guards outside the palace changed, and there was a look of disbelief in their eyes. After quickly confirming the perception in his memory, he said quickly:
"Please forgive my offense. You must be the person chosen by the great holder of the artifact, Mr. Rhodes. Please come with me into the palace."
"Lord Rhodes..." From the guard's mouth, Gretel learned the name of the holder of the artifact.
Gretel turned sideways, looked at Tamik and said, "She came with me."
"This..." The guard hesitated, and after sensing Gretel's aura again, he said, "Okay, you can all enter the palace."
