Chapter 364: Lich Servant
When he came indoors, Henry didn't know that there was almost an inside bar outside, and he was busy fighting the two stone golems on the second floor. As you can see, this one is called Lake. Gasla's guy will definitely not be too low in casting level, whether it is the two well-made golems in front of him, or the demon bats on the first floor that have been killed, it is enough to prove this.
However, with the strength of his current legendary mage, as well as the luxurious equipment on his body, it is still very easy to deal with these guys who have little intelligence. The two summoned Demon Duncan's swords slashed the two golems into potholes in a minute, and even the control center hidden in the chest was destroyed.
Looking at the golem on the ground that had been cut into pieces, a satisfied smile appeared on Henry's face. This level 7 spell is the most suitable to deal with enemies who can't cast spells, after all, the longsword that has been created can only be damaged by the purest magical energy, otherwise no matter how you attack, it will not be damaged in the slightest.
Although he had finished the battle as fast as he could, he inevitably alarmed the owner of the house. I saw an old man with a round head, gray hair and beard walking down from the top of the stairs. As soon as he saw a stranger, he immediately shouted, "Don't move! Uh, what are you! What are you going to do when you break into my house late at night? ”
Henry noticed that the other party was wearing a badge of a masked mage senior member on his chest, which meant that the old man in front of him was at least a mage above level twelve. Unhurriedly, he took out his badge from his pocket and shook it, then said, "Don't be nervous, I think this should make you think about what to start with." ”
"The most ...... The highest member! "Lake. Gezra was so surprised that he couldn't even speak. As a veteran member, he knew deep down that this kind of badge would only be awarded to one kind of person, and that was the Legendary Spellcaster.
Seeing the old man's eyes in awe. Henry's vanity was greatly satisfied. Since absorbing (desire) desire. He enjoyed more and more the feeling of being feared, flattered, and praised.
"Since you know each other. I'll give you a choice now. It is related to life and death and the choice of the road in the future, and it must be carefully considered. Remember, you only get one chance. ”
Lake. Gazra bowed her head and bowed deeply. "Please, Master, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse." He now felt that he was sweating up and down, and he was afraid that if he accidentally angered the other party, he would die on the spot.
"It's easy! You should know that as a member of the highest rank, I have the right to recruit any one of my subordinates, and this is a privilege granted to legendary mages by the guild. I need a loyal subordinate right now. I don't know ......" Speaking of this, Henry deliberately stopped. He believed that the old man would understand what he meant, and that there were some things that did not need to be said in full.
Lake. Gazra wiped the sweat from her forehead. The pressure on him from the legendary mage was too great, and the power of direct access to primordial magic was simply not something that ordinary mages could compete with. In some kind of chengdù, they can even twist and control the magic net around zhì, and interfere with the success rate of the opponent's spell casting on some kind of chengdù.
"Master...... I...... I'm in charge of intelligence, and if I leave in a hurry...... I'm afraid it will offend a lot of people. "Lake. After Gezra said this, his entire back was soaked. He also wanted to join a legendary mage, so that he could not only get some magical guidance, but also greatly improve his status.
But the problem is that you don't dare, you must know that the top leader of intelligence work is also a legendary mage. It's called Corina Spike. It is said that this master has a rather fierce personality, and anyone who makes a mistake will be tortured to death. I have to say. It was not a pleasant feeling to be caught between the two ends, and look at the old man's current appearance, his head bowed, sweat sliding down his cheeks to the ground, as if he was a prisoner waiting for a death sentence.
"What if I had a way to get you to change your identity? For example, give up this aging body and then change the name. Henry touched his chin and continued to hint.
Lake. Hearing this, Gessra took a breath of cold air, raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... means...... Help...... Help me transform into a lich? ”
"I was going to resurrect you with wishing and put on a young body. However, if you prefer to transform into the undead, I can grant that wish. ”
"Master...... Please give me a few minutes to think, after all...... This is an important decision for the mage. "Lake. Gazra bowed deeply, and his brain began to calculate rapidly.
Although theoretically speaking, it is possible to perform the Lich Transformation Ritual as long as the casting level reaches about level 10, but not many people have actually mastered this technique. First of all, in order to perform this ritual, you must be proficient in necromancy and have a black diamond or some other material more precious than gold.
Then brutally kill yourself in the course of a soul ritual, and the whole process must not go wrong in any way. In the end, I must also accept my fate to resist the instinctive recognition of death by the soul. It can be said that the whole process is full of pain, and the probability of surviving without the help of outsiders is no more than one-third.
Obviously, Henry has this knowledge in his possession, and has never intended to use it on himself, despite the numerous immunity that can be gained after transformation. Because he found out that the lich is an undead creature with strict defects, not to mention the life box of the pit father, the incompleteness of the soul alone is a huge problem.
As an intelligent being, the soul is the most essential, pure, and important part, and if it is mutilated, then it means that it has lost the favor of fate. Little by little, it will manifest itself in various aspects, such as becoming more and more cold and cruel in character, such as becoming unscrupulous in doing things.
It can be said that except for a very small number of great lich who have more than thirty casting levels and basically don't come out to provoke right and wrong, the rest of the guys will die sooner or later due to various conditions. The reason why they have survived to this day is probably because they have used some unknown magic or ritual.
Lake. Apparently he didn't know this, and after thinking about it for a long time, he resolutely chose to transform into a lich. Henry didn't have anything to say about this, and directly handed over a bottle of poison blessed with five or six kinds of magic. The old man quickly pulled out a necklace that looked very precious, made it into a life box, and then slammed the whole bottle dry.
The toxicity of the potion is very strong, Lake. From the moment he drank it, he lay on the ground and began to struggle desperately. His expression was so painful that he even scratched his throat with both hands. Fortunately, the torture did not last long, and after a few convulsions, the old man died with his eyes open.
A black smoke emerged from the necklace and burrowed into the blackened corpse, then ripped the soul out of it and sucked it into the life box. Henry stood silently, knowing that the ritual had been successful, and now it was only necessary to wait for the lich to build his new body, which would normally not take more than ten minutes at most.
"This feeling! This power! I did it! I'm finally a powerful lich. With this excited shout, the necklace emitted a puff of black smoke again, and a very much like a dried corpse appeared in its place. His sunken eyes flickered with cold white flames, and his body kept exuding a rich negative energy around him.
"Looks pretty good! But I'd better pack your things and get out of here. After all, such a powerful energy fluctuation could easily attract the attention of the Mage Tower, and maybe someone would soon be sent to see what was going on here. Henry reminded as he stood aside.
The lich nodded immediately, and without hesitation, he offered his life box with both hands. "Master, please accept this. From today onwards, Lake. Gaisra is dead, and my name is Oleg, a fifteenth-level spell lich and your loyal servant. ”
"Very good, I am quite satisfied with your watch. Well, you go and stay in Am's Mage Tower for a while, and then come out after the limelight is over. With that, Henry picked up the necklace and put it in the dimensional bag. It might be a little difficult for him to control a legendary lich now, but this is not a problem at the moment.
The lich quickly stripped his robes, staff, and other magical items and scrolls from his dead body, then scavenged the house for something of value, and finally bowed slightly and disappeared in place using teleportation. He must take refuge in the Mage Tower before the Masked Mage's Guild initiates large-scale magic detection, otherwise the consequences of defecting if he are caught will be quite severe.
Henry also knew that he could not stay here for long, so he cut off one of the corpse's ears and quickly left the building. As soon as he went out, he noticed the eerie atmosphere in the doorway, where Kogan and Viconia were constantly fiddling with their weapons and making a threatening gesture from time to time.
"Head, you can figure it out, otherwise I don't even know what to do." Feder ran over and told him what had just happened.
After learning what happened, Henry's icy eyes stared at Kogan. Obviously, the whole thing was provoked by this bloodthirsty dwarf, and although the Queen of the Poisonous Tongue also has some joint and several responsibility, but that's not the point.
"Don't be angry, listen to me. At that time, I was just talking about my previous adventures, and I didn't mean to provoke. Kogan noticed that something was wrong and quickly explained awkwardly. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being accused again, it was too bad.
"Remember, this is the first and last warning. I hate guys who do little things behind my back, so ...... If there is a next time, I will let you experience what it means to live rather than die. ”
Heng used his cold attitude to scare everyone at once. Viconia bowed her head of pride and admitted her mistake at such a time, and even Fed's was terrified. She felt that her new boss was a bit like the patriarch of the Deladrurgis family, especially when she was angry.
