Golden light was released from his whole body, and bathing in this burst of light could not help but make people feel warm in their hearts.
"I contacted Lord Rhodes for you, but unfortunately, he is not in Saou City."
The person who answered his words was a human-looking woman. The woman was wearing well-fitting armor and had a cold face. She did not look like an easy-to-get-together being.
"Where is he now?" Hearing the woman's answer, he asked hurriedly.
"How do I know?"
The woman spread her hands: "Not even the people closest to him know this question. If you ask me, I can't answer it. However, according to my understanding of Lord Rhodes, he should be hiding and secretly
What are you planning? After all, the battle has just passed not long ago, so it’s time to avoid the limelight at this time."
"I can't hold on for long..." The man's brows furrowed and his whole face was distorted, as if he was suffering from unbearable pain. "Recently, those horrific memories have been occupying my spirit... I can't imagine,
If everything is true, that lich named Erich must have such terrifying power."
He sat slumped in the small prison, with a look of despair in his eyes: "If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive Lord Rhodes' return, and I will be completely lost in those memories. I will no longer be who I am..." The woman gave him a flat look: "Is it like you pretended to be?"
The man gritted his teeth: "Those memories have been guiding me, wanting me to go to a place in Erathia... I don't know what is there, but I can feel that there are definitely some bad things there."<
/p>
Noticing the seriousness in the man's expression, the woman looked at him carefully and advised:
"Staying in the prison will only make you face the memory of that lich. Even if you want to divert your attention, you will have nowhere to escape. It is better to come out for a walk. Although the City of Shadows is a city of the undead, its prosperity is
, no less than the towns of Erathia."
"No... once those memories are out of control, I don't know what I will do. Before Lord Rhodes comes here, I will not go anywhere. Staying in the prison is undoubtedly the best choice."
He immediately rejected her proposal, and the fear in his eyes became even worse.
After hearing what he said, the woman could only sigh slightly when she saw that she couldn't persuade him.
Bathed in the golden light, the woman raised her hand, with the back of her hand facing her, and her eyes fell on the flat nails.
"Your ability is very interesting... No matter how you disguise yourself, a vampire cannot have a real human body, but you can give undead creatures such power and let them have a human body." She praised.
"This is not my power, it belongs to the lich. I just borrowed his ability." The man shook his head.
"Borrowing? You mean, there will be a day to repay it?" She seemed to hear something from the man's words, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The man did not answer, but stared at the empty front, as if he was thinking about something, or just distracted.
"On the way to Saou City, I discovered an interesting thing." Seeing that the man's pain had improved, the woman thought for a while and said proactively.
"The people there don't seem to like you. After hearing your name, they showed even more hostile expressions. North, what have you done? Could it be that you killed important people in Saou City?
”
Hearing her question, North fell into silence. After a while, he said: "I just pursued strength and gave up some unimportant things, some things that disturbed my heart."
"Really?" Seeing that North was hiding something and didn't seem to want to talk about it, the woman glanced at him and then said, "Then you should be happy. Now you have the possession of the legendary lich.
Strength."
At this time, North showed a confused look.
Seeing this, the woman finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you all like to pursue power? Apart from power, aren't there other things that make you nostalgic?"
"Because that's what Lord Rhodes taught me." He replied with a firm look, "I can feel his will, and I want to be like him..."
"Is that really what you are after?" The woman shook her head and asked, "In my long life, I have seen many human beings. But there is no existence like Rhodes. You simply can't
If you don’t know what you want, you are just imitating him and losing your own will.”
"My will?" He repeated the woman's words.
"Even if you can't become a hero, you still have to use your own will. Think about what you have done. What is your will?" the woman asked him.
"This is my will." As he said this, he closed his eyes and did not look at the person in front of him.
Seeing this, the woman shook her head, with a look of regret in her eyes: "Do you know what will happen to babies born in an environment rich in death energy?"
"Why are you telling me this?" His expression changed slightly, and he opened his eyes and looked at the woman.
"Because I just remembered that the last time I arrived in Saou City, I happened to meet a pregnant woman giving birth. You must not know what happened at that time..."
North's body was trembling slightly. He was just about to say something, but he felt the entire prison wall trembling.
Strong mana fluctuations, coupled with the shock caused by the huge force, continued to come from above the underground prison. Both North in the prison and the woman not far away noticed something was wrong.
"An enemy has come to the City of Shadows." The woman analyzed immediately. At the same time, her voice also turned cold, "What kind of enemy dares to run wild in the royal city of Diya?"
"She...she..." On the side, North opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could finish the words, the woman turned around and left quickly towards the exit of the underground prison. p>
Looking at her leaving back, North sighed deeply and put down his hand.
After being freed from the golden light and walking out of the prison, the woman's body had undergone great changes. Her tall body became stooped, her fair and round face became dull and swollen, her eyes became blood red, and fangs sprouted from her mouth.
.
"Damn..." Feeling the changes in her body, the woman spat.
I don’t know what she did. In a very short period of time, her appearance returned to the way it was when the golden light shrouded her.
"The realm of the dead... this is really a troublesome ability." After sighing for a moment, her expression returned to a cold expression, and she walked towards the location where the abnormality came from.
