Earl Stark... Huruman Stark, the culprit who caused the war a hundred years ago? Wasn't it destroyed, or... in fact, it just pretended to be dead, waiting for a certain opportunity to return to the mainland again?
Causing chaos?
No, don't worry about it. The key is what it plans to do now and how she wants to get out of the current situation——
Jiuyue thought hard, but couldn't think of a way. The lich grabbed her waist with his skinny hands and picked up the girl in a weird posture. Then it opened its mouth and recited the incantation silently.
A black cloud enveloped the two of them, and she felt dizzy. When her vision recovered, her surroundings had completely changed.
She was surrounded by towering giant sequoia trees. Her bare torso was still upright, but it had long since withered and decayed. The snow under her feet was gray and black, as if stained with age-old stains that could not be washed away. There was a cold atmosphere in the air.
, the surroundings were quiet, without a breath of wind. There were strange sounds in the distance, and occasionally hoarse calls, but they were not the calls of any birds or animals that she was familiar with.
She probably guessed where this place was, but she didn't want to believe that fact.
As if reading her thoughts, the Lich spoke with a hint of complacency, "How does it feel to return to your hometown, your natural sage?"
She felt like a mess in her heart, and she wanted to ask for clarity, but she couldn't make a sound. So she tried to turn her eyes away and ignore it.
The Lich seemed to feel that this stalemate was a bit boring. It made a few strokes with its fingers to raise the ground, forming a rock cage, and threw September into it. Then, it pointed at the girl with its withered index finger, silently
What was recited.
The girl found that the numbness in her face, mouth and tongue gradually disappeared, but the rest of her body was still unable to move.
She turned her head and looked at her surroundings again. Through the remains of the trees, she saw something moving in the distance, but she could not identify the race of the other party.
"What do you want?" She calmed down her emotions and turned back to stare at the lich.
"The power in your body... is very powerful." The red light in its eyes danced, and it opened its mouth with a silent laugh, "I... will make you my undead attendant, guarding this place forever...
...This should be in line with your wish, right?" It changed the subject, with a hint of pity in its tone, "But before that, don't you want to know how I found you?"
The girl looked at it quietly without replying.
"That companion of yours...is his name Fister?" The Lich sneered, "He broke into the Desert of Souls recklessly. I caught him and threatened him, and he told me everything... Sure enough, human beings
, you are always greedy for life and afraid of death."
She tried to judge whether the Lich's words were true or false - but got no results. The other party was stronger than her. She didn't think the young man would betray her, but she was simply worried about his safety.
"Let's do this. In return for becoming my subordinate, I can help you realize a wish." The Lich said softly, "Tell me, what do you want, the head of the Elna man... or the tongue?"
September looked at it with a smile and shook her head calmly, "Those are meaningless. What we want is... wine, meat, and stories."
The Lich was obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately regained his composure. He turned his head and spread his hands, "There is no wine or meat here, so... tell me what story you want to hear."
The girl narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her pupils, "How...how did you make this place look like this?"
"A boring story." The Lich waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, "I brought the souls who died with resentment here, and used them to create new resentment. This is an endless reincarnation.
I have successfully proved that regardless of the Kamal people, the Elna people, the Belon people, the It people or the Fritz people, they will forget the lessons of past history because of immediate interests or disputes. Rather, it is better to say that human beings have always forgotten the lessons of history.
From the beginning, it was a "failure" created by the gods... wasn't it?"
"We don't want to hear what you said." She interrupted the Lich coldly, "Let me ask you, where are our companions who originally lived here?"
The Lich laughed softly, "That's another story, and it means nothing to you. After all, in a short time, you will become my loyal servant, and you will never remember those miserable guys again."
"Enjoy the rest of your life." It turned around and walked deeper into the forest, then suddenly turned back, "Oh, no, you will have eternal life. It's just that you...can't feel it yourself.
"
The lich disappeared. Yue Yue sighed in her heart and tried to use her will to restore her body's ability to move, but it had no effect. The instinct to incarnate all things was also bound deep in her body by magic, trapping her in her current form.
.
Time passed by minute by second, and the air after dark became colder, but it was nothing to her. There seemed to be ghost figures in the distance, walking among the withered trees, emitting a dark light.
"Hey, you!" she tried to call to them, "come here and let us see who you are -!"
They ignored her. Maybe because they couldn't understand her words, maybe because... they were just the girl's illusion.
She turned back with some disappointment, only to find ripples in the air not far away. She opened her eyes wide and saw a burst of starlight flash by, and two figures appeared in front of her out of thin air.
One is Fister, and the other is a huge white bear with a body length of more than ten meters - named Bai Li, who calls himself Uncle Bai, and is one of her companions who has a good relationship with her.
The white bear walked closer with small steps, and with a seemingly light slap, half of the rock cage that trapped her was lifted. The young man quickly picked her up and placed her flat on the white bear's broad back.
"You...you are such an idiot. You just want to die?" The girl complained in a low voice, but her heart felt warm. "Speaking of which, you were deceived by that lich. What happened?"
"Ah?" The young man scratched his head, unable to understand it at all, "After I left you, I tried to find out the whereabouts of your companions. Fortunately, I met Mr. Bai... and didn't meet any lich at all?
"He jumped on the back of the white bear, "Escape from here first, please, Mr. Bai!"
A beam of green light fell from the sky and hit the white giant bear's body, preventing it from trying to teleport away.
"You are so kind and righteous. You don't look like a 'normal person' anymore." The Lich's voice came from the air, full of ridicule, "Such a person... I'm afraid it would be better to die. He is an excellent servant."
What a great material.”
The young man sneered at this. He took off his longbow, jumped from the back of the white bear to the ground, took out two arrows from the quiver, and put them on the string together.
"Mr. Bai, you take September and leave, and leave this place to me." He stared closely at the Lich's every move without looking back, his words were full of confidence, "As for you - taking away September's account,
