Chapter 8: Sandru's Memories
There was a hint of satisfaction in Conse's tone: "Very well, Sandru, from now on, you can use your real name. ”
The woman replied respectfully, "Yes, my teacher, then from now on, I will use my pre-lich human name." By the way, let me think about it, what was my original name? Hundreds of years, a lot of memories have faded. ”
The woman fell into deep thought, and the memories that had been sealed for a long time came to her mind one by one.
"I remember that I used to be an excellent human female mage, and I was still young at that time, and I was about 25 years old according to human calculations, right?"
"The Magic Guild, yes, I used to study there, it's a city in the south, I can't remember the name, but you can see the bright moon there every night. Bathed in the moonlight, my magical power grows very quickly."
"I won! In the competition of the Magic Guild, I defeated my rival, the son of a certain minister. I stood there, receiving the cheers of the crowd. Watching the handsome faces of my competitors become distorted, the frustration and resentment in their eyes, I felt an indescribable pleasure. Defeating a civilian, whom he has always looked down upon, should teach him a very profound lesson, right?"
"Everywhere I went, I received countless flowers and letters. In the eyes of these men, I am simply **naked**, and who really appreciates my magical abilities? Yes, I have achieved a great fame and become the center of attention. Unfortunately, all this is illusory, and I am already tired of coping, spending my precious time every day entertaining these pesky flies. My heart is incomparably empty, and I have exhausted my mental strength to deal with them, can it be that gaining fame can only bring endless emptiness?"
"One day, I sneaked out and went out into nature to feel the power of the wind. That time, without the harassment of others, I had so much fun, the wind swept by me, the fawn and the edelweiss whispered beside me, I haven't felt this way for a long time. ”
"A middle-aged man appeared in my field of vision, I wondered, this place is full of level 8 demonic beasts, how did this man who looks weak and can't help but wind come here? He spoke to me: 'Little girl, do you feel empty? Do you want to have a power that is dozens of times stronger than now?'"
"Joke, I studied magic so hard just to have great power. But how could such a middle-aged man give me all this? I smiled and rejected him. ”
"Soon the king learned everything about me, and he decreed that he would take me as his wife. Oh my God, I almost broke down when I heard this news, and I was 25 years old, and I was going to marry that 80-year-old man who even had grandchildren older than me. Seeing this dying guy in front of me, my heart was very confused. ”
"I overheard the palace maid say that the king had taken me because I had defeated the son of one of the king's most important ministers. It turned out to be him, this guy who looks personable. Unexpectedly, the human heart was so sinister that it could not defeat me head-on, so he told the king through his father: 'The son born to a magician will have a great talent for magic.' 'It's ridiculous, my parents are ordinary people, how did I get my magical strength? ”
"I decided to run away. Soon, the king learned of my escape, and he, the dying old fellow, had sent the King's Guard to hunt me down. I fled desperately for three days, running out of magical energy, and ended up surrounded by more than 20,000 knights on a high hillside. Even the vampire demon Nasir, who killed countless people back then, only sent 20 knights symbolically. ”
"The knight conveyed the king's order, go back or die! I finally understood what the old man meant, what I can't get is destroyed! It turns out that this world is so cruel, I remember how hard I have tried, but I still can't get rid of the control of those in high positions. ”
The middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside me, still asking me in a slow voice if I wanted to pursue greater strength. With tears of disappointment in my eyes I said to him, 'If you can destroy the 20,000 knights in front of you, I will go with you.' ’”
An evil smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and a powerful, shocking power surged from his body. God, I never thought that a person could have such great power! A huge magic array formed under the guidance of his fingers, and the sky suddenly turned red. This vision terrified the knights, and I could hear the commotion of the horses under the knights' seats on the high hillside. ”
"Suddenly it started raining. No, it's not rain, it's blood, it's raining blood from the sky!"
The rain of blood drifted, and there were faint mournful sighs in the sky. The knights were scared, they could fight opponents who were several times their size, but the situation in front of them was beyond their comprehension. They desperately tried to escape, to run out of the bloody rain. The middle-aged man unleashed a second spell. A huge shock wave emanated from under his feet, and the ground seemed to rise and fall like the tide of the sea, spreading this powerful force out, and the violent oscillations made it impossible for the knights to stand on their feet, and they all fell to the ground. The rain of blood poured down on them, and I saw that their bodies were gradually corroded and then turned into white bones! 20,000 elite knights, all of them were wiped out in this instant! Seeing these knights rolling on the ground in pain, listening to their painful cries in my ears, my heart could not be expressed. ”
"The words of the middle-aged man reminded me in my ears that if you want not to be bullied, you must first have the strength to bully others. Have you thought about it? I nodded subconsciously, he was right, if my strength was stronger, would the king dare to send someone to hunt me down? Do I still need to put my fate in the hands of someone else?"
"In order to have great power, I decided to transform into a lich with the help of a middle-aged man, my teacher, Lord Cons, and although I lost my body, I must gain everything I lost, and I could instead leave everything behind and devote myself to the exploration of magic. Believe me now, I can easily wipe out more than 100,000 King's Guards, right?"
"I will never forget the moment I walked out of the magic circle, it was a gray, painful memory, after the infinite pain, I lost my body, a body that I couldn't help but touch myself!
"Wait, I remember, my human name is ......"
"Katherine Landy!"
