Under the cover of night, the two pirate warships slowly left the harbor and headed for the Nälancer Islands in the southwest. Henry watched them disappear between the sea and the sky before turning away, he had done everything he could, and it was up to him whether he succeeded or not. There's a lot more to come, the most important of which is to subdue the half-lich Kangus.

After all, it's quite dangerous to risk with a bunch of life boxes. Normally, the lich will be resurrected after one to ten days, and if they appear one by one, it is better to say, once two or three are resurrected at the same time, it will be a lot of fun. These cunning undead creatures don't even need to communicate at all, and will immediately join forces to take their own life box.

This is why Henry has always been reluctant to try to control the lich with the life box himself. Unless they are a lot higher in terms of cast level and experience, these guys are unlikely to be obedient. They will constantly try to retrieve the crate by all means, and if necessary, they will definitely stab them in the back.

However, it would be different if you had obtained the allegiance of Congus. With the Half-Lich's powerful magic immunity, it's easy to cut off these guys' unrealistic thoughts. After all, legendary magic basically takes about a minute to prepare, and that long time is enough to destroy several life boxes.

No one jokes with their lives, and even more so the Lich. Most of them are a group of unbelievers, otherwise they would not let go to the kingdom of God to live happily, but instead transform themselves into ugly undead creatures. A well-known scholar once said, "Anyone who voluntarily transforms into a lich or vampire is terrified of death, because they care more about being alive than any other creature." ”

It's ironic, but it's true. Most of the time, as long as you master the life box, it is equivalent to controlling the whole of a lich. Of course. If you're smart enough. Won't be fooled by these highly intelligent spellcasters. You must know that in essence, this is no different from using a gun to threaten someone else's head loudly, it seems that everything is under control, but in fact, the other party still has a certain ability to resist.

Walking along the filthy streets of the docklands, Henry returns to the underground hall where Congus was imprisoned. Since the thieves of the union had already been here, everything from the gold glued to the walls and floors to the very valuable coffins had been looted, not even the candles and precious stones on the huge stone statues on the sides.

It was pitch black all around, but the night vision ability blessed by the "Gus Ring" came into play at this time. He looked left and right and muttered, "This looting is too clean." It's just that there is no grass growing everywhere you go. It seems that the professionalism of these thieves is really good, and they haven't left anything of value behind. ”

However, Henry's visit this time was obviously not emotional, but to complete an important job. He didn't have time to wait for the half-lich to slowly and naturally resurrect, so he had to use guò magic to artificially speed up the whole process. Since the ritual produces a lot of negative energy and evil aura, it has to be carried out in such a remote place.

Preparation is a hassle. First, it takes about an hour to draw a complex magical pattern on the ground with a small amount of living human blood. Secondly, it is necessary to prepare several complete souls, which act as nourishment, and the more they provide, the shorter the time for resurrection. At last. A level 9 spell slot also needs to be vacated to guide the process.

It can be said that this is an authentic evil magic ritual that allows the lich to devour souls to complete self-repair. The presiding officer will undoubtedly want to skew the evil camp. But fortunately, Henry has been doing a lot of good things not long ago, so he doesn't have to worry about turning back to evil neutrality for the time being.

He moved quite quickly, and it only took him about three hours to complete all the preparations, and he carefully checked it twice. In order to ensure a successful first attempt, all the souls that had been collected before were taken out. There are Edwin, Maiva, the undead of the Talisman Society, and so on, and there are more than a dozen of them in total. They were all sealed in colorful gems, and there was no way to escape.

Seeing that it was ready, Henry first blessed himself with two protective spells, and then held the eight soul gems belonging to Congus in his hand to start the entire ritual. As the sound of the chanting spell sounded, the patterns drawn by the blood on the ground began to glow with crimson magical aura, and the gems containing the sealed souls all floated, and if you looked closely, you would find that faces full of fear appeared on them.

In a deep voice, he sang: "Here are the souls of the innocent, led by blood." They're crying! Struggling! Screaming! Great immortal, please taste and accept this gift. Engulf...... Resurrection ......"

When the last word was pronounced, the eight soul gems instantly emitted bursts of ghostly light. I saw that one soul after another was pulled out of the gem by an unknown force, and then devoured by the soul gem of the half-lich. The process looks horrific and is accompanied by piercing screams. Fortunately, the sound insulation in the underground hall is good, otherwise it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

After ten minutes, the patterns drawn with blood on the ground began to dissipate, and a large amount of negative energy began to gather in mid-air. Henry could feel that the eight soul gems in his hand were a little uncontrollable, and he wanted to fly out and merge with the dark negative energy. Clearly, this is a call from the soul, and Congus is about to be resurrected.

As the negative energy gathered more and more, there was already a prototype of a skull, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took out a magic black hole to prepare for the legendary magic "Sunrise". After all, it's quite difficult to coerce a half-lich into swearing, so a strong deterrent is essential.

A minute passed quickly, the powerful negative energy completely condensed into substance, and a pale golden skull appeared in midair, and after devouring so many souls, Congus finally came back to life.

At the same time, Henry had completed his spell, and a very small ball of light floated on the ceiling, emitting a terrifying, dazzling light. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he used the most powerful version this time, as long as he detonated the whole of Ascatla, he would be sent to the sky.

The two of them faced each other silently, but it didn't take long for Congus to get tired of the stimulation and finally couldn't help but speak. "Humans, we don't seem to have any unresolved hatred, we can sit down and talk about the conditions. You know, I have a lot of wealth and knowledge, and whatever you want, it's okay. ”

Henry sneered and shook his head. "I'm only interested in you right now. So you'd better hurry up and swear allegiance to me with your soul, or these soul gems will be destroyed by the powerful positive energy explosion in no time. ”

"Soul Oath? I think you should know that this kind of thing is not binding on a powerful spellcaster like us. As he spoke, Congus whispered a spell, and in the blink of an eye, an ice mirror appeared out of thin air. I saw that the scenery of another plane kept emerging inside, rich in rare minerals, gems, gold, magical plants, animals, etc., and there were quite a few ancient species, even including terrifying apex predators like Tyrannosaurus rex.

In a seductive voice, it said, "See? Aside from the absence of sapient beings, this is the equivalent of a condensed primary plane. You can find the magic material you want here, and I will exchange it for my own soul gems. ”

You must know that although there are a lot of half-planes, most of them are quite harsh and not suitable for human habitation at all. It's incredible that not only is there an abundance of products, but it's also expanding steadily. It seems that the Half-Lich is indeed quite good at dimensional exploration, and normally no one can resist such temptation.

As someone who spent all day worrying about the funding of legendary spell development, Henry's eyes lit green. However, after reading it, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said to the half-lich, "Very nice place, I like it very much." But the conditions remained the same, either swore allegiance or were completely destroyed. ”

Hearing this, Congus was almost blown up. The cold light in its eyes flickered constantly, and it took a while to hold back its anger and ask, "Why?" Why do you have to make such useless vows! There must be some conspiracy here, right? ”

"If I were you, you would be obedient. You know, you don't have any negotiating capital at all, as long as that small ball of light explodes, these so-called hardest gems in the universe will be turned into dust in an instant. In the last ten seconds, if you don't get a satisfactory answer, then ......"

Henry deliberately left the last point unspoken. Of course, it is impossible to really detonate, and he has not lost his heart to that kind of Cheng dù. What the hell is it to scare the half-lich, this guy in the province is procrastinating, always holding on to luck.

Congus was silent for a few seconds staring at the white ball of light that was constantly emitting a blinding light, and finally made an oath under the threat of death.

"Me! The half-lich Kangus, who swears by his soul that he will always be loyal to the master in front of him, and will never betray. ”

As soon as the words fell, the logo of a system was directly branded into the depths of the soul. As a powerful half-lich, a master of the soul realm, it instantly sensed a change in itself, and at the same time shouted in panic: "This...... What a power this is! You...... What exactly have you done to my soul?!!! ”

"Nothing, a guarantee of absolute loyalty. Incredible, isn't it? Don't snack on it, you'll get used to it in no time. Henry smiled with satisfaction as he spoke. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the white ball of light. Countless positive energy was dispersed, and it returned to Heavenly Mountain along the passage.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, in the end, Kangus was successfully subdued. Now it's finally time to start building a stealthy group of spellcasters to fight against infiltrators like the Harpermen's League, the Santarin Society, and the Rune Society. Obviously, these lichs are the core of the team. (To be continued......)
