"How embarrassing..." Lin Li muttered hypocritically, but he did not hesitate to get a drop of blood. At this time, he never even thought about whether this was a trap, because there was no trace of it.
Necessary. There are hundreds of various undead creatures in the hall, plus a high-level vampire of at least level 18. It would be effortless to eliminate them. Why risk your freedom and set up a blood oath trap?
The blood on his fingertips was so hot. Lin Li felt the temperature coming from his fingertips and felt certain in his heart. Yes, this is indeed a real blood oath. As a vampire, as an undead creature, the blood is always extremely cold.
Only when they make a blood oath, will the drop of blood containing the fire of the soul become hot, just like the drop condensed on their fingertips now...
The hot blood was smeared on his forehead, as if a fire was burning. Before Lin Li came back to his senses, countless memory fragments suddenly turned into a torrent, and poured into Lin Li's mind suddenly. Various voices
Various pictures are mixed together, old and new, devouring each other and tearing each other apart, as fierce as a cruel war. And in this devouring and tearing, some originally fuzzy sounds and pictures gradually become clear, as if
One after another, the dusty scrolls appeared before his eyes. Lin Li knew that this was the soul fire of a high-level vampire. From the day it became an undead creature, until it sacrificed its soul fire and formed a blood oath,
At the end of that moment, all memories are contained in this drop of hot blood...
"Huh..." After completely merging these countless memory fragments, Lin Li finally let out a long sigh and glanced at the countless undead creatures in the hall one by one. At this time, there was no trace of violence or murder in them.
Some of them were just obedient and respectful. Lin Li could even feel that with just a command, he could make them do anything for him. Finally, his satisfied eyes fell on the high-level vampires.
"Nofele, can you tell me the origin of this tomb?"
"Nofele" was the name of this high-level vampire. From the trivial memory fragments, Lin Li not only knew his origin, but also knew that he had half human blood and half high elf blood. He was born in
In the legendary dark ages, before turning into an undead creature, he was even the personal bodyguard of a high elf noble.
"Follow your orders, my master..." Novel knelt on one knee, his voice full of obedience and respect.
The low and hoarse voice brought time back to 1,200 years ago. At that time, the high elves were still the masters of the earth, and Osric still ruled the Kingdom of France. However, this kind of dominance and rule was already somewhat limited.
There was a sense of turmoil, the human army destroyed six cities in the sky, and the last force that the high elves relied on was finally lost. The high-ranking high elf nobles began to panic, including naturally the one Nofele was loyal to.
According to Nofele, the high elf noble named Giovanni used to rule a large area of land north of the Breeze Plain before the war broke out. However, the subsequent war caused him to lose everything.
, so he had to flee to France and ask his half-brother Osric for asylum. Unfortunately, it was Osric's later years at that time, and the once amazing and talented lord was losing all his wealth.
All the energy was devoted to the construction of the mausoleum.
Perhaps because he understood his situation, perhaps because he was inspired by Osric, the desperate Giovanni found Osric after a night of thinking and asked him to give him the land of Demon Slayer Valley.
Osric did not refuse, and that afternoon, he withdrew the magic legion stationed in the Demon-Slaying Valley.
Since then, Giovanni has lived in the Demon-Slaying Valley. Not only did he build his own mage tower here, he also sent countless slaves to dig a real underground palace for himself.
Then, he began to study undead magic...
Among the high elves, undead magic has always been synonymous with taboo. The high elves who love life feel that undead magic is a blasphemy against life. In that era, a high elf who dared to learn undead magic would be regarded as a traitor and be burned.
Burnt to death.
Therefore, Giovanni's research on undead magic has always been a secret. Except for his close bodyguard Nophele, almost no one knows about it, including his half-brother Osric.
Giovanni's research lasted for almost ten years. As time passed day by day, the human army conquered more places. A loud horn sounded from the border of the Kingdom of France, and Osric, the ruler of this land,
It is getting weaker day by day, and everyone knows that the time of the great lord is running out...
That autumn, the human army finally invaded the Breeze Plains, and the great lord Osric finally came to the end of his life. The flames of war burned from the Breeze Plains all the way to Oranna, Osric's two sons.
, almost every day was spent fighting for dominance and fearing the human army, but at this time, Giovanni did something that no one expected - he turned himself into an undead creature.
To be precise, a lich.
Giovanni buried his soul mark in the phylactery and gained eternal life in another way.
After turning himself into a lich, Giovanni did not try to resist the human army. Instead, he transferred everything he owned to the underground palace at an extremely fast speed. On the day of completion, Giovanni used undead magic to
Killed all the slaves and turned them into his most loyal servants.
As for Nofele, because of his loyalty, he became Giovanni's right-hand man in ruling the undead army - he became a high-level vampire with memory and wisdom.
"Now, where is Giovanni?" When Lin Li heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.
"Lord Giovanni is dead. As early as 1,200 years ago, on the day he withdrew into the underground palace, his soul imprint disappeared..." Nofele's voice was still full of obedience and respect, but
When he mentioned his former master, his expression seemed a little complicated.
"Dead?" Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. Isn't this a little too fast? He had just turned into an immortal lich, why did he suddenly die? Lin Li clearly remembered that Anduin once told him
It has been said that every lich has an almost eternal life. Even if he is killed, he can be resurrected with the soul imprint in his phylactery. Even if this Giovanni has just become a lich, he is not so bad that he is inexplicably dead.
To the point of hanging up, right?
"Yes……"
Novel nodded and still kept kneeling on one knee. It turned out that when Giovanni led the undead army to retreat into the underground palace, he unexpectedly discovered an altar located in the center of the palace. This altar was actually
When the underground palace was being built, slaves had already discovered it, but most of those efforts were just civilians captured from various races, and they had no idea what this altar actually meant.
Only Giovanni knows...
Almost the moment he stepped into the underground palace, Giovanni felt an extremely powerful sacred power, and this sacred power came from the altar in the center of the underground palace. For Giovanni, who had just transformed into a lich,
Said, this is undoubtedly a big joke. An underground palace prepared for undead creatures contains an extremely powerful sacred power. What is the difference between this and a bonfire under a fish tank?
Maybe it was because he was too confident in himself, or maybe he wanted to avoid future troubles. In any case, as soon as he discovered the altar, Giovanni made a decision. He wanted to go deep inside the altar to have a look.
Feiler remembered that Giovanni went in alone at that time, without any entourage, including himself, the most trusted person.
And the accident happened at this time...
An hour after Giovanni went deep into the altar, Nofel suddenly heard a scream, and then saw Giovanni rushing out of the altar with his whole body burning. To this day, Nofel still remembers that scene.
The terror of this kind of flame is just like the legendary Doomsday Judgment. Even a tiny bit of flame will bring a devastating blow to the undead creatures. The moment Giovanni rushed out of the altar, countless undead creatures had already transformed into
If Novel hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and immediately turned into a bat and flew away, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to kneel there and talk to Lin Li now...
At the beginning, Nofeile, like Lin Li, thought that Giovanni, who had transformed into a lich, could survive the divine fire, but soon he found that he had guessed wrong, because he could clearly feel that Giovanni
The divine fire on his body was not only burning his body, but also burning his soul. Even the little soul imprint hidden in the phylactery was not spared.
Unfortunately, when Nofeile realized this, the last bit of Giovanni's soul imprint was completely burned away...
As a result, no one knew what Giovanni encountered under the altar, and no one knew what those flames that were comparable to the Doomsday Judgment were. Nofele only knew that Giovanni left something for himself before he died.
He said a sentence: "Twelve hundred years later, the Immortal King will open the door that has been sealed for a long time. Nophele, you must obey him and follow him..."
So, Nophele waited in the underground palace for twelve hundred years, until the moment Lin Li opened the door of the mausoleum...
"..." Lin Li touched his nose and said nothing, but secretly cursed in his heart, are you so evil?
