This deep gaze from afar seemed to penetrate the ever-dark and gloomy sky of the Kingdom of the Dead, and was directly locked on the Lich Amber. It seemed that even her soul was clearly penetrated by it.
This caused all the bones in her body to tremble slightly, and the two wisps of green soul fire in the skull's eye sockets were beating incessantly, and a long-awaited and almost forgotten emotion welled up in her mind.
After recalling it for more than ten minutes, Lich Amber finally remembered that such emotions should be called 'fear' and 'panic'
After becoming a lich, she had not experienced such fragile human emotions for a long, long time.
The Kingdom of the Dead is a divine kingdom, which naturally has the advantage of being shielded from prying eyes and unable to perform divination. The lich nesting inside should be very safe.
But that gaze was looking straight into the soul of the lich Amber...
However, after the initial panic, she quickly regained the calmness that an undead creature should have. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that her life box should have been found by some powerful guy.
The man was prying into the mystery of the phylactery, which was why she felt like her soul was being scrutinized.
She suddenly remembered that not long ago, the owner of the Kingdom of the Dead, the Lich King Modo, had issued an order to allow all lichs to return to their phylacteries stored in the living world.
Lich Amber naturally did so, but in the end she left one behind and placed it with her former teacher, the supplicant Karl.
She has great trust in the teacher's strength and character, because she is his most proud student, so there should be no accidents in the phylactery, and this arrangement can also be her last resort.
But now, something went wrong in this link where there should be no surprises.
Something happened to the teacher? His treasure house was invaded?
How is this possible? With the teacher's strength and attainments, no one in the world can be his opponent. Even Lord Modo must prepare a large number of elite undead legions in advance to fight against him...
Is there any being in this world who dares to be an enemy of the teacher?
Lich Amber pondered for a long time, then rode on the bone dragon, went to the Lich King's laboratory, and reported the matter to him.
After listening to her description, Modo's soul fire flickered slightly in his eyes, and then he began to chant and cast spells, blessing Amber with several protective magics, and at the same time activated the laboratory's multiple protective barriers.
Such behavior made Amber feel a little confused.
"Your Excellency? Why is this?"
Modo opened his mouth and explained:
"There is an insidious sect in this world that has mastered the method of directly attacking souls. Angmar and his students fell to this method..."
"This move is very dangerous and poses a huge threat to us. That's why I ordered you to take back the phylactery in this world."
"You left a phylactery with the supplicant. There should be no problem, but who knows..."
After An Beier heard this, the soul fire in her eyes beat even more fiercely.
But Modo changed his words and said:
"But I can't be sure whether your phylactery fell into their hands."
Lich Amber nodded and subconsciously wanted to use divination to see who had touched her life box.
But as soon as she took the divination posture, she was quickly interrupted by the Lich King.
"Stop your stupidity! Don't do divination!"
"Angema caused the disaster of killing because of his hasty divination!"
"It was a god who did it, but I don't know who did it, and I don't understand why his power can come directly to the kingdom of the dead... But in short, divination is very dangerous, so don't try it!"
Amber was more stunned than him, stopped quickly, and asked in confusion:
"But didn't you say that the gods have too much time to take care of themselves? Why would they want to target a little lich like me?"
The Lich King did not answer directly, but paced around the laboratory, lost in thought.
While thinking about it, he reached out and broke off his ribs one by one, played with them, and then put them back one by one.
Every lich has one or two small actions that help with thinking, just like Amber polishing the bone dragon, which has a similar meaning.
There are even some lichs who like to pluck off their own heads when thinking and keep throwing them around, or swap hand bones and leg bones. In short, in various ways that look strange to outsiders.
Doing this will help keep their minds active.
After Modo repeatedly broke and reattached the ribs on his body ten times, he finally figured out something and said:
"Since you are still alive, it means that the other party is not eager to take action, otherwise you would have perished long ago."
"Perhaps the other party is not the arrogant and unreasonable guy before, but another accident?"
You thought about it for so long and came up with this?
Amber couldn't help but cursed.
Although lichs have an almost endless lifespan, it is not without cost. Their thinking activity is much slower than that of ordinary humans. They often need to spend an inexplicable long time thinking about an originally simple problem, which will appear
Quite slow and sluggish.
This is the price of eternal life, and it is also the main reason why the supplicant has never dared to make up his mind to transform into a lich.
Amber also thought for a while, and then said:
"My teacher, the supplicant is the most powerful existence in the world. It is impossible for anyone to snatch the life box from his treasure house. Even if it is true, he has sufficient time and means to warn me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a ghost suddenly appeared beside her. It was her messenger, responsible for communicating with the outside world.
The ghost stretched out a pair of sharp claws, put aside his stomach, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Amber.
Amber quickly opened the envelope and got up.
The letter was indeed sent by the supplicant, and it seemed that he did have sufficient time to warn his students.
The content is credible but somewhat difficult to understand.
"Dear Amber, my eternal student..."
"There is an extremely noble and powerful being who plans to visit your country of the dead..."
"I don't know his specific intentions, but if you can, I suggest you stay humble and friendly enough to him, and never become an enemy of him..."
"If you can't decide your position, try to find a way to escape. I can provide you with some shelter..."
"Please believe me, this is the most serious advice!"
"Your teacher, Carl."
Amber gave this letter of belief that she couldn't understand to Modo, and the soul fire in the latter's eyes also flickered, faintly twisting towards the shape of the '?' number.
It means that there is a guy who wants to break into the Kingdom of the Dead, and he wants us to open the door to welcome him without resistance?
When is this a public toilet? Come when you want and leave when you want?
Come in and try? I can’t kill you!
Modo felt a long-lost anger, and a green evil flame flashed in his hand, burning the letter to ashes.
But the anger was fleeting, and he calmed down almost instantly. After becoming a lich, he was no longer as angry as humans.
It can be regarded as a kind of intimidation in a second, right?
He then turned to ask:
"Prayer, you are not the kind of person who likes to make bad jokes, are you?"
Amber nodded seriously.
"Teacher, he has always been known for his seriousness."
"I think his suggestions are of great reference value and we should consider them carefully."
So the two lichs began to think again. One kept breaking his ribs, and the other took out a delicate and small, toy-like bone dragon from his pocket. He took it in his hand and polished it repeatedly.
After thinking for a while, the Lich King spoke again:
"Since it is an existence that can make supplicants fear it, then don't act rashly and try to contact it first."
--------------------------
On Gallo's side, he felt a little helpless when it came to this phylactery.
He could easily destroy it, or kill the lich, but he didn't know how to use this thing to help him open the door to the kingdom of the dead.
Actually...it's not completely impossible.
Just like how he dealt with the lich before, he could transfer the power of power through this phylactery and use it to create a gap in the realm of the dead.
It is equivalent to using this phylactery as a stepping stone for the lich.
But if you do that, the owner of this phylactery will definitely not survive. To open a gap in a divine kingdom, it requires a lot of strength. Under the pressure of power, the soul of the lich naturally cannot bear it.
Even existence will be erased.
Logically speaking, Gallo would be very happy to eliminate an evil lich, but it happened that this guy had some unclear relationship with the supplicant, which made him go out of his way to plead for mercy.
Considering the importance of the supplicant in the future, Gallo still had to take care of his emotions to some extent and directly attack him. After all, it was not appropriate.
Therefore, this method can only be used at the end. At the moment, we should try a relatively mild method. Unfortunately, we don’t have a good idea yet.
But just when he was in a bit of trouble, the phylactery suddenly shook, and a hoarse and interfering voice came from inside:
"Excuse me, who are you? Why do you come to the kingdom of the dead?"
He asked the question straight to the point, and seemed to know that Gallo was going to the kingdom of the dead. It seemed that the letter written by the supplicant had been delivered.
Gallo didn't say anything about this. He himself allowed the supplicant to tip off the information, not to mention that he had no intention of concealing his intention.
So he said very directly:
"I need the realm of the dead as a new prison for Eas."
It sounds like a very simple sentence, but it contains a lot of information.
The phylactery suddenly fell into silence and remained silent for a long time.
Gallo almost fell asleep.
Fortunately, the phylactery made a sound again in time:
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't seem to understand what you mean?"
Concepts such as evil gods, Easis, and cages are too advanced for a lich who has not yet become a god, and it is normal for them not to understand them.
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. Why did it take so long to respond?
These lichs are worthy of being born as mages, how rude!
Gallo cursed in his heart and continued:
"It's just a simple literal meaning..."
"To prevent the destruction of the world, I need to commandeer your realm of the dead."
The other party obviously did not expect that there would be such a rude person in the world. He was silent for a long time before he asked:
"What if we choose to say no?"
A sneer appeared on Gallo's face and he replied in a deep voice:
"Then destroy!"
The phylactery suddenly trembled violently, indicating that the other party's mood suddenly became extremely excited.
After a while, another sound came out:
"Then please forgive me for refusing!"
"What I like most about Modo is saying 'no' to self-righteous 'people'!"
"I will be waiting for you in the kingdom of the dead!"
After saying that, the trembling of the phylactery stopped, and it seemed that the conversation would no longer continue.
Gallo smiled, feeling relieved that things had developed to this point.
He was willing to negotiate with these evil creatures and gave them a chance, which was considered as giving the supplicant enough face.
Who knew that this group of lichs could be so evil and vicious, knowing that the world was in crisis, yet unwilling to cooperate with them.
Then for the sake of world peace, I can only take action forcefully.
The rest is very simple.
So Gallo simply stopped studying, put the phylactery back into his sleeve, then took off his clothes and went to bed.
The opponent cannot run away, so there is no need to rush and adjust the state first.
Rushing into the opponent's base camp to fight is still quite hard, and you need to be in better condition.
Wait until it gets dark tomorrow night.
Gallo lay back on the bed, made up a random excuse to confess to the goddess, and then fell into a deep sleep.
To be honest, he had thought about whether to sleep together in the dormitory room.
But his strong self-control controlled himself!
In this way, after a comfortable night's sleep, Gallo got up early the next morning, sat at his desk, wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and made preparations to attack the Kingdom of the Dead.
When he was studying the phylactery last night, he also thought about how the other party maintained a divine kingdom for a long time without gods.
Through observing the phylactery, he gained more or less information about the kingdom of the dead.
It turns out that the components there are no longer just divine power, that is, the power of authority, but mixed with some other power components, such as the power of the barrier and the evil power of the lich's undead.
They made an exquisite mixture of the two powers, using divine power as the basis and the evil power of the dead as the pillar to support the kingdom of the dead.
These improvements were obviously planned by the God of Death before his death.
As a result, this divine kingdom does not seem as pure as the divine kingdom of Visa.
But this isn't bad news, it's good news.
This kind of different divine kingdom is more suitable for use as a prison!
