The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Ersie and Xio stared at each other, and after a long time, they turned their attention back to those strangely changing glass bottles.

"This... this grows too fast, doesn't it?"

Erxi twitched the corners of his mouth, leaned over to pick up a quidi seed from the broken bottle, and examined it intently.

The originally light and transparent sphere has now turned into a bright orange-yellow—a layer of crisp skin like an egg shell has grown on its surface, perfectly wrapping the plump and plump fruit in it.The brighter the color of this layer of shell is, the better the quality will be. Now at a glance, all of them are big and yellow quidi species that are growing well. Erxi, who is well-informed, can't help swallowing secretly. saliva.

It's all money! ! !Lots and lots of money! ! ! !

Resisting the urge to quickly sweep these quidi into the storage ring, Ersie turned to look at Xio.

"Could it be that your death energy has mutated?"

Xio's face twitched a bit: "...you, think too much."

"Then what's going on here? It can't be that someone showed kindness and came to help us reinfuse our dead energy..." Erxi's words were meant to be teasing, but he suddenly froze in the middle of speaking.

He and Xio looked at each other in surprise at the same time, and thought of the same possibility at the same time.

"The guy from last night?" Ersey narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Xio walked quickly to the glass bottle, he spread his right hand, and a tiny silky red worm nimbly crawled out from between his nails, and then nimbly jumped into one of the glass bottles filled with black liquid.

After a while, the red worm crawled out again, but it crawled crookedly, as if it was drunk, and it was only after Xio hooked it with his fingers that it managed to get back under Xio's nails.

"There's no problem with this spirit of death." Xio glanced at the black liquid in the bottle with a complicated expression, "And, the power is very strong."

"Compared to the Lich King?" Ursi asked.

Xio's tone was particularly dignified: "If there is anything more than that, there is nothing less than it."

Erxi quickly went through all the powerful liches he knew in more than 200 reincarnations in his mind, but none of them could rival the Lich King.

In fact, Erxi and the Lich King have dealt a lot. Although that guy has a weird temper, his strength should not be underestimated. Otherwise, he would not have dominated the cruel and treacherous Lich World for so long.

A while ago, I heard that there was a turmoil in the Black Mountains on the edge, and the whereabouts of the Lich King were missing. Erxi was very surprised. Although the outside world said that it was a suspicious human race that caused all this, Erxi, who knew the details of the Lich King I don't believe it at all.As a result, such a mysterious lich of unknown origin suddenly appeared again, and for a while Erxi doubted whether his reincarnation memory of the lich was reliable.

"No need, worry too much." Seeing that Erxi was lost in thought, Xio thought that the other party was too worried, so she added, "He has no malicious intentions."

For liches, the word "trust" hardly exists, because the quickest way for them to increase their strength is to devour their own kind.This caused them to be wary of others all the time, and all the Lich skills they used also had hidden tricks inside - even a wisp of necromantic energy was often highly poisonous.

But after the test just now, Xio was sure that that person didn't leave such a trick - for a lich, harming people is an instinct, and harmless things need to be specially arranged.The man's necromantic aura is extremely pure, which shows that the other party has deliberately removed the poison, which can be said to be quite "intimate".

"It's good to have no malice, but it's very unpleasant to be sneaky." Erxi snorted coldly, "Break into a private house without authorization, and infuse death energy on his own initiative. Does he think we will be very grateful to him?"

stop:"……"

Then what do you mean by using the storage ring to clean up this pile of quid seeds while disgusting it! !

"Since it has been confirmed that there is no problem, don't reject the things delivered to your door for nothing." Erxi flicked the storage ring that had just been packed, with a confident expression on his face.

To put it bluntly, you really want it! !

Xio rested his forehead speechlessly, and was about to seriously discuss this unexpected guest again, when he saw Ersie stretched out his left hand - that hand was wearing another storage ring, the young man waved his hand lightly, and a pile of Kui The glass bottles of ground seed sprouts flew out, neatly arranged in several rows, and piled up in the center of the room.

stop:"……"

"Don't leave your name behind when you do good deeds?" Ersie smiled evilly, "Hmph, I want to see how kind he is."

***

Xio is very pessimistic about Erxi's eagerness to reap another wave of Quetta.

Although I don't know what the purpose of that person is, but this kind of behavior of obviously waiting for the other party to do free labor, let alone a lich with an unpredictable personality, no one would be willing to be taken advantage of by this kind of person.

At least from the point of view of a lich, Xio felt that if he saw the other party being so brazen, he would definitely be furious on the spot, and he might even demolish the attic in a fit of anger...

So before leaving this time, he deliberately strengthened the enchantment in the secret room of the attic, and set up many traps around it—even if he knew that the other party had a powerful force that he couldn't compete with, but the same kind who didn't know the details so easily entered the room, He, the owner of the house, was still very uncomfortable.

—and then, the next night.

On the floor of the secret room in the attic, fully mature quid species are neatly arranged.This time, it can even be clearly seen that the other party intentionally controlled the dosage of the dead energy, and it did not appear that the quidi species swelled too much yesterday and broke the glass bottle, and the dead air in the liquid in the bottle was absorbed perfectly, showing a Transparent light blue, without any trace of excess dead air overflowing.

Ersie: "..."

stop:"……"

The two were silent for a while, and Ersie suddenly looked at Xio.

"You used to be on the edge of Montenegro, do you have any old acquaintances with good relationships? Could it be that you came to join you but were embarrassed to show up?"

"Do you think that a person whose strength is comparable to the Lich King is useful, come to me!"

"That's true," Erxi nodded, crossing his hands, "Your strength is not good, and it's not bad to go to me."

stop:"……"

Ersie put his hands behind his back and circled the pile of glass bottles a few times.

"What the hell is this guy trying to do..."

He pondered for a moment, and bluntly collected all the quidi seeds, and then threw a dozen glass bottles containing quidi seed sprouts from the storage ring.But this time he didn't arrange them neatly, but spread them out, one by one, filling the entire room.

"This time..." The demon prince squinted his eyes, and his smile was a little dangerous, "I see if you dare to come."

***

Sure enough, he didn't come this time.

Erxi tampered with the dozen or so glass bottles, and he would be able to sense anyone who stepped within one meter of where the bottles were, and the other party would be locked immediately, even if he found something wrong and quickly left the room, Still can't escape his follow-up.

Because the bottles were placed very scattered, this arrangement was basically equivalent to: once someone stepped into this room, they would definitely be sensed by Ersey.But after a whole day, Erxi's side was quiet and did not receive any abnormal information, indicating that the other party did not show up.

In the evening, Ersie and Hugh routinely came to the secret room in the attic.When the barrier dissipated and the real contents of the room were revealed, Ersie's face darkened instantly.

The dozen or so glass bottles were all there, in exactly the same position as before they left last night, untouched.

—but the quid seeds in the bottle are gone.

Not one was left, not even the nutrient solution was left, only a dozen empty transparent glass bottles remained.

Ersie: "..."

This guy! !Obviously he was provoking him, right? !

Erxi really didn't expect this result. Although the trap arrangement last night was a bit rudimentary, he has reincarnated so many times, except for the failure at Heluomi - now he already knows that it is all because of the "protagonist halo" for the sake! ——In other people's eyes, this tracking technique has never failed at all.

Being defeated by a small character who didn't look down on him at all, Ersie was in a very bad mood.

And this bad mood directly soared to the peak when Ersey left Hughin's house.

Xio sent him out, and as soon as the two opened the door, they saw more than a dozen quidi species neatly placed at the door.Under the reflection of the moonlight, these Kuidi seeds looked extraordinarily plump and plump, and a small note was pressed under the largest one.

——【Don't think too much.I will give as much as you want. 】

The person who needs the Quidi is Erxi, so these words are obviously addressed to Erxi.

——Obviously, this uninvited guest came for Erxi.

"Ha, what a breath!"

Ersie was so angry that he tore up the note, feeling that his dignity had been seriously challenged.

Sneaky thing, does this king still need a handout from you, a lich? !

If you have the ability, get out of here with dignity! !

Xio looked at the confetti that had been reduced to shreds, and at the neatly stacked quinces in excellent condition at the door, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"You, do you have a good acquaintance, Lich?"

"No!" Ersie said unhappily, still in a fit of anger.

"Really?"

"What are you going to say?" Ersie turned his head and stared at Xio with a grim expression.

"This feels a lot like..." Xio hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts, "Repaying the favor."

"what?"

"In fairy tales, don't they often have such stories, don't they?" Probably recalling childhood memories, Hugh's expression softened slightly. At that time, his greatest pleasure was listening to his brother read those funny stories to himself before going to bed every night. "A poor boy with a kind heart rescued a helpless little monster. To express his gratitude, the other party sent his own food to the door of the benefactor's house... something like that."

"Do you think I'm kind-hearted, or do you think I'm a poor boy?" Ersie asked fiercely, staring at Hugh.

stop:"……"

Hugh shook his head quickly and desperately.

"I think that guy is probably playing tricks on us." Ersey said viciously, scanning the dark night outside the house unhappily, "Maybe he is watching from the dark right now, enjoying himself so much!"

... How could anyone send expensive magic plants to their door again and again, just to trick people? ?Hugh thought silently.

Moreover——Xiu looked at the row of quidi species with excellent appearance at the door, and his expression became more and more subtle—if we put aside the fabricated things like fairy tales and look at it from a perspective closer to the habits of liches, this kind of behavior ...Actually, it's more like a lich's "courtship"...

After all, among liches, the highest state of expressing affection for an admirer is to give the other party a gift without traps.

Of course, Xio didn't dare to make such a guess.

Because he always felt that if Ersey found out, something more terrible might happen...so he silently chose to shut up.

Although Erxi was angry and annoyed at this mysterious lich who "dare to play tricks on the king", he couldn't continue to pursue it.On the one hand, he no longer has any reserves of quidi sprouts, and on the other hand——

——The delivery date agreed with Haslan has arrived.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

Before I met the Lich King, I heard many rumors about him.

Some say that he is moody and erratic, some say that he is sinister, cunning and scheming, and some say that he is extremely cruel and perverted, and likes to swallow human flesh and drink raw human blood.

Of course, I didn't take these rumors seriously, because everyone used to say the same thing about me——"Son of the Devil", it seems that I'm sorry for this title if I don't exaggerate it and make it scary.

However, the rumors about the Lich King may have affected me more or less, so when I first met him, I didn't connect this guy with the Lich King at all.

It was the time when I was most interested in dark witchcraft. I spent a few reincarnations catching liches to study, but I didn't feel satisfied, so I went directly to the edge of Montenegro.

In fact, a long time ago—that is, those days when I swore to kill Heluomi—I also tried to find the Lich King, hoping to join forces with him, but unfortunately this guy’s whereabouts are strange, I can't find it at all, so I can only resort to Yeji's ability to design and frame Heluomi. Of course... all of them failed without exception.

In fact, I still don’t quite understand what the conditions are to attract the appearance of the Lich King. I feel that I didn’t do anything in the edge of Montenegro. I just stayed in a certain cave and threatened the captured Lich to teach me dark witchcraft. While thinking about learning to master it, I don't know when that guy appeared.

At first I thought it was an ordinary little monster, with a dark body and smooth and shiny fur. At first glance, it looked a bit like a black cat with a strong and flexible body.When I threatened and tortured the lich, "it" just stood by and watched, unable to drive them away. The more miserable I made those liches, the more excited "it" seemed to be.

Until one time, when I was clumsily trying out a newly learned dark witchcraft, the little monster lying lazily and staring at it suddenly raised its head gracefully while wagging its big fluffy tail, While speaking slowly.

"It's not like that," "It" said, with a smile in its laziness, "They're lying to you, haven't you realized that you've been working for nothing?"

After all, I have studied liches for a long time, and I immediately realized that this "monster" that can speak human language should be a clone of a certain lich.

So, these days, this guy has been watching me torturing his kind, not only did he not stop him, but he enjoyed watching it with relish? ?

It's also ruthless enough.

"Let me tell you, the correct way should be like this..."

Then it said a lot in a serious manner, waving its little paws from time to time, as if it was demonstrating.

I ignored it.

It's not the first time I've dealt with a lich. I'm only going to believe a lich of unknown origin when I'm out of my mind, and judging by how indifferent it is to its kind, it must be an extremely perverted guy by nature.

Facts have proved that I guessed right, the thing taught by that guy is even more outrageously wrong, and even I can get involved in an accident, and it has no good intentions from the beginning.

Probably because it found that its plan hadn't succeeded, it stopped for a while, and then began to use its force - lying on the side, watching me, and attacking me immediately when it saw that I couldn't draw my hand.

The power of a lich is greatly restricted by its avatar. No matter how powerful its main body is, if its avatar is not strong enough, it will not be able to exert its power.Although it did cause me a lot of trouble, but after tossing about such a small monster body, I could deal with those attacks effortlessly-of course, I also tried to kill it during the period, but it It's too cunning, and it runs fast. The final situation is that both sides are at a stalemate. You can't kill me, and I can't kill you.

This guy's brain is really turning very fast. Seeing that the hard ones can't work, he started to change to soft ones again.Every time it leaves, it will leave something for me, often very precious and rare ones, such as some high-grade large magic crystals, rare magic plants in the devil's abyss, or even extremely rare high-level magic crystals. Artifact, wait.

Ha, let's not talk about me, a demon prince who has been reincarnated more than 200 times. I haven't seen any rare and precious things; just because of his status as a lich, an idiot will touch these things, so every time it leaves, I Immediately destroy these things far away.

It went on like this for a while, probably because it found that material temptations could not shake me, so it finally gave up.

"Oh, don't play anymore, don't play anymore, you are so difficult."

Saying this, the monster lying on the ground lazily stood up, and suddenly a light-colored mist appeared from its body, and the mist became thicker and thicker, from which it could be seen that something in the middle was constantly rising and elongating, and finally faintly A tall and slender figure appeared.

A lich usually has many avatars. I don't know if this is his main body, but what is certain is that "he" has changed his body. Unlike the previous monsters, this is a humanoid avatar.

He waved his hand to disperse the mist, and the first thing he showed was his feminine and beautiful face.His complexion was so pale that it was almost transparent. His long jet-black hair hung down from his shoulders and was placed on a dark red robe. The hem of the clothes extended to the ground, like blood gurgling down, making his coquettish eyebrows even more attractive.

He looked at me with a smile, the corners of his rosy lips were slightly raised, and a pair of strange-colored pupils were curved.The pupil color is extremely strange, one black and one red, but it is not scary.

Or in other words, before the heart of fear arises, the mind will be taken away by that full of eyes.His eyes have the power to seduce people's hearts, and he can easily fascinate people's minds. Even if he knows the danger, he still cannot extricate himself from being fascinated by him.

——It is a flower blooming in the abyss.

"How about it?"

He slowly approached me, his voice was gentle and lazy, so good that it was intoxicating: "Do you like me like this?"

I looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

His looks did not charm me.Compared with those insignificant appearance problems, what I care about is that he has a dark purple tattoo under his left eye, which looks like an upside-down skull crown.

——I have heard countless people talk about this sign.

"It seems that you are not satisfied." He smiled. "Okay, I will introduce myself now. I don't have a name, call me whatever you want, but they usually call me...the Lich King."
