This was the first thing Lily said to Jill when she saw him again.
"What's wrong?" the female mercenary looked at the other party - when she came to the center of the forest, the black-haired woman was already waiting there, which made her a little disappointed, "Shouldn't it be that the two places you are dealing with are out of control?"
What's the problem?"
"Of course not." Gil spread his hands, "You know, I won't come here to be lazy before I finish my work."
"So, how did you do it?" Lily glared at her, "With the time we spent, even just rushing is not enough for you?"
The black-haired woman chuckled, as if she had expected Lily to ask this question.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you." She said easily, "Thanks to Bayard, in this forest, I can complete the teleportation through the astral world." She made an invitation gesture towards Lily, "How about, do you want to
Don't you think about joining us? At least you're welcome."
"Forget it." Lily shook her head and rejected the other party's proposal, "We want to become stronger, but freedom is also necessary. How about you, don't you consider joining our mercenary group?"
"When you try harder for a while, maybe I can think about it." Jill also declined Lily politely, and turned her gaze to the blue-haired woman behind her, as if she had just noticed her, "What's going on? Your new
A member of the group?"
She hoped so, Lily secretly cursed. Along the way, this Celestial Clan named Ariel kept persuading her not to disturb the plans left by "Lord Stark". The female mercenary was very suspicious, if not
The forest is indeed filled with the smell of death and uncleanness, and the other party will even attack them directly.
Lily even suspected that this Sky Tribe's brain was broken, but apart from insisting that "Lord Stark" was a good person, the other party's communication and logic were all normal. In the end, the female mercenary could only blame it on some mysterious thing.
, a "brainwashing method" that can simply change the target's impression of a certain person.
Okay, she knew that this statement was very unreliable. However, even An, the most knowledgeable person in the team, could not give a convincing enough explanation for this completely unreasonable situation.
"Maybe that lich was originally a good person, but later turned bad." The girl thought for a while and wrote this in her notebook, "After all, everyone will change."
In the end, this issue could only be shelved. After her and An's efforts to persuade, Ariel finally agreed to confirm the current situation of the forest with them. Of course, according to the other party, it was to "prevent them from doing too rough a move."
".
"That's it." Lily sighed helplessly and simply explained the above situation to Jill.
The black-haired woman stared at the Sky Clan seriously for a while, and then spoke, "So, Ariel, right?" Her next words were shocking, "There is a head near here that was killed by your Stark
Sir, the black dragon has turned into a dracolich, now I have to find a way to kill it, what are you going to do?"
"Give us a moment -" Before the Celestial Clan could reply, Lily reacted first, "You mean...dracolich? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Not only her, Ann, Grum, and even Alphonse, but everyone who knew something about this showed some disbelief. After all, if the dragon is a creature that lives in seclusion from the world, but can still be seen occasionally.
, the existence of Dracolich itself is an out-and-out legend.
According to history books - or myths, 'creatures' like the Dracolich were born at the end of the last era. In order to fight for the hegemony of the continent, the intelligent races of the previous era killed a large number of giant dragons and launched a war.
Making their corpses into undead that completely obeyed the instructions while retaining the dragon's talent, spellcasting ability and a certain degree of independent judgment. In fact, it was also considered to anger the 'Father of the Gods' and cause the collapse of the previous era.
One of the main reasons.
However, the method itself is rarely good or evil. If a seemingly cruel spell is used to deal with evil people, it may not necessarily be evil. And Decdura is obviously not a good dragon - back then it could compete with "the living god"
They were living in peace and harmony, but when it left the forest to 'hunt', countless travelers and traders probably died at its hands. This was evident from the various treasures piled up in its lair at that time.
But now is not the time to worry about whether the other party deserves to be like this - or whether "Count Stark's" behavior can be regarded as evil. Obviously, they need to face a huge trouble: the Dracolich
Its combat power is by no means weaker than the dragon itself, and it becomes even more troublesome because of the addition of certain undead characteristics.
After all, the ultimate battle weapon from the previous era - just the name is scary enough.
"Of course, there is no benefit in lying to you." Gil shrugged, "It's a bit difficult for me to take down that guy by myself, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get anywhere. So, let's join forces this time."
Lily nodded silently, then turned her head and looked at the female Celestial Clan who was following along with the black-haired woman.
"Lord Protodis said that Dracolich...should not be allowed to exist in this continent." Ariel pondered for a long time and finally gave an answer, "If what you said is true, I...will look at the situation.
Decide what to do.”
"It's really not frank." Jill raised the corner of her mouth, "But there's no problem. Come with me."
Lily responded and followed the footsteps of the black-haired woman. They walked through the deep forest and headed towards the direction that the female mercenary could clearly feel was filled with the aura of death - that was the center of the entire forest.
The surrounding environment became more and more oppressive, and the temperature seemed to have dropped to the point where people started to shiver. The instinct of her body kept reminding Lily, asking her to stop moving immediately and stay away from this dangerous place. She ignored all the warning signs.
Continue to follow Jill until the dense forest suddenly cuts off in front of you.
It seemed to be an invisible line that completely separated life and death. On one side of them, even if it was surrounded only by dying trees and decaying soil, it was still a place that could accommodate the world. However, a few feet in front of them
Far away is, without exaggeration, a pure realm of death.
There is complete nothingness there. No life - not even the tiniest and tenacious moss or mold - can survive in that environment. If it weren't for some kind of "enchantment" that restrained the power of death pouring out from within, I'm afraid
It will spread to an area far wider than the immediate area, turning most of the forest into a forbidden zone for life.
Lily squinted her eyes and looked in. Through the faint light coming in from the outside, she confirmed that the huge "death" itself was lying in the center of nothingness, which was completely different from her memory.
