Blooming Tower of the West Wind

"Lacrima said...it is a spell called 'language curse', which will make the spoken words become fragmented. It is a kind of shadow spell. There are only some vague records in the temple. It may be that the people who participated in the undead war people left behind."

The reason why the temple has such a great power is because the holy light spells are especially effective against liches and minions. At that time, everyone went to learn the holy light spells to save their lives, and the best people among humans were in the temple However, with the defeat of the lich, elemental spells have become the mainstream again, the reputation of the mage guild has returned to its peak, and the temple has gradually declined.

"There are also those terrifying shadows... as if they would swallow people up." She said with lingering fear, "So, the function of the keel is to gather shadows?"

"It should be like this. In the study of shadow magic, there must be a large category of 'how to extract shadow'. It stands to reason that this kind of energy is too easy to dissipate. Then it is how to let the dead energy erode the soul of the living. Do it according to the category A zombie, an undead minion, or a lich. Like the one Virgil encountered, or the black lantern, or the one that corrupted me."

"Maybe the body of a lich can gather shadows. Aren't they made of bones? The keel can gather shadows." She suddenly complained, "It's really unreasonable. If you don't let you study these things, you can't face witches. Aren’t you helpless when you’re a monster? Fortunately, we discovered the multiple uses of light mirrors temporarily, otherwise we would already be on the way to conquer the world now!”

Hipper was amused by her, "Tius is so brave, you are all brave, it seems that you usually get along well with the elemental creatures at home."

Theron shyly denied it, but to be honest, she didn't think about being afraid at all. The fact that she could sacrifice her life for Hipper was very tempting, and she even messed around for her and made all kinds of bad things for her. Doing what is possible and exhausting mana for her can give her a great sense of satisfaction.

But she just needs to know these feelings, for fear that Hipper might get suspicious. For this reason, she even thought of an excuse when she was asked about this matter: You once saved my life, and I will save yours in turn. Fair enough.

But Hipper didn't ask, she didn't mention it for so long, and it was as if nothing happened between them.

If only something could happen—the innocent girl hoped so, and couldn't help but imagine that this trip was some kind of hint from Hipper.But this is impossible, the relationship between the two of them has just returned to the normal level before, the archmage finally let go of her vigilance, and showed this kind of lighthearted expression that is not often shown to people in front of her, because of being unrestrained and unrestrained. Different kind of charm.

"And that bottle...is that the phylactery of the Lich? It's hard to imagine her...why would she keep her head?"

Hipper looked at her with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pinch her chin. The little apprentice's face blushed obviously, which gave her a kind of revenge-like repayment, um...

"Maybe... maybe she just likes her looks very much. No beautiful woman is immune. Even if I often say 'appearance is just a fleeting skin', it is always inevitable to be attracted by good-looking things."

Theron can understand this feeling very well now, and nodded with sympathy.

"However, there is also a possibility that it is only used to awaken your childhood memories, and when she wants to turn you into a lich, she will have the initiative."

Theron's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, "Me?! I thought her target was you? Did I just incidentally?"

Hipper withdrew the hand that was pinching her chin - which made Theron a little disappointed, and even wanted to hold the hand to keep it from going - pressed her forehead and said, "I don't know where to go Let’s start with the phenomenon itself. Before you came in, she drew a magic circle behind me, and I kept telling you not to approach me.”

"Yeah." That voice can be said to be very harsh. Even Hipper never spoke to her in such a harsh tone when they quarreled the most fiercely. Fortunately, she didn't understand what she said.

"She even leaned over herself, trying to push you in. Fortunately, Tius saw through it. I guess it's because it's particularly sensitive to bones."

Theron couldn't help laughing. Tius showed great courage in this battle against the Lich. This was in stark contrast to his usual gluttonous and timid appearance. It was definitely because the opponent was made of bones. of.

"The magic circle, I don't know what impression you have about it, but I think this magic circle is... I told you once, a lich sent the manuscript to the editorial committee, and the editorial committee sent us They were all called to participate in the discussion? Do you remember?"

"Yes, I remember. You mentioned an incident where you said you thought it had something to do with my mother . . . " She laughed suddenly. "Your judgment is absolutely correct."

Hipper smiled, and it turned out to be 100% related.

"Now I can tell you my conjecture and some facts. This magic circle is a very efficient transformation circle, and its function is probably only one, which is to transfer the resentment attached to the five magic weapons—or a high-level magic circle. Concentration of shadow, perhaps some kind of substance that stores shadow—transfers to a living mage, so that the transformed person can be efficiently transformed into a lich."

"So, she's trying to transform me into a lich? Is that what she meant by 'princess'?"

Hipper looked at her immature face, narrowed her eyes and said: "She is to transform you into a lich, her main target is you, and in her plan, I will be your most important subject, you will The greatest Witch-King of all time, bringing back the undead wars."

Theron was utterly startled, her eyes widened, and the carriage jolted and she almost fell.The archmage grabbed her quickly.

The innocent girl couldn't associate herself with the word "Witch King", as if she always felt that the development day had nothing to do with the two of them.

"Thetis is the surname of the Seti royal family. It is never mentioned in the history books. They only call their clan name 'Seti'. The ancient gold coins among the five instruments in the magic circle are used as 'portraits of the ancestors' Yes, and the magic circle has indeed worked, which can well show that at least your mother has the blood of the Thetis family, and it is very pure."

Theron frowned slightly and opened his mouth, but he hadn't thought of what to say.

She was preempted by Hipper, and the archmage said: "Of course, the mother knows best whether the child is her own. Since she can risk her life to bring the phylactery to you, it further shows that you also have the phylactery." The blood of the Tis family."

"I remember that day, the day she, she 'died', I saw that thing...that bottle."

Hipper was silent for a moment, and said: "'Mother's Urn'...I'm afraid I have a very sad guess. The Setis family was divided into two or more branches when the Ancient Seti Empire fell. The prince turned himself into a lich and wanted to restore the former glory of the Seti Empire. If the kingdom of the dead wants to expand, they can only extend their black hands to the living. I am afraid that they rely on this method to reap endless life You may have been chased by the Lich back then, so you had to run from the east to the west of the desert, and your mother... was made like this by her relatives, maybe her mother."

"With the same spell, with the same urn?"

"exactly."

"So she said... 'I'm so glad you survived the greatest threat of your life'?"

"That's theoretically correct. I don't know if you've noticed that all magic tools can be used repeatedly. Only the mother's urn...must be the mother's."

"And her ashes have been completely burned..."

"Even if it wasn't burned, it was scattered in the dust of the desert and could never be found again. And the black lantern was also melted by you. If you want to turn you into a lich again, you must use my method , from Lacrema's tone, she is obviously dissatisfied with this method, and the conversion efficiency is very poor."

"What is the standard for the quality of 'conversion efficiency'?"

Hipper shifted her position and put both hands under her head, watching Theron want her to rest on his lap.

"From previous records, I should have told you that after becoming a lich, there are many flaws. A lich will forget some people and some spells, which causes the thinking to be between 'before death' and 'death' After's incoherence, they can't wait to show off their new knowledge, so they will do a lot of stupid things, such as sending the shadow magic research manuscript to the editorial board."

"Yes, I did."

"You'd better lie down, aren't you tired from kneeling like this?"

Theron hesitated, but Hipper grabbed her by the tie.The little apprentice obediently gave in, and slowly lay down next to her, but felt restrained, afraid that he would accidentally touch Hipper and break through her boundaries, and then thought that they would probably have to share a room less than a width away when they went to bed tonight. A carriage that is two yards in size is bound to come across by accident.

To mimic tonight's strategy, she held her hands straight at her sides so that Hipper's curled arms were in the space above her shoulders, and nobody was in the way.

Contrary to her rigid thoughts, the old mage changed his legs and put them together, and continued: "But now it seems that Lacrema's transformation is quite successful, she probably remembers everything about you, she Her elemental spells are also quite powerful. It can even be said that she is just an evil person... Such a lich is very hidden. Because all known liches have been killed, but the technology to become a lich is still generation after generation This can only show that... the evil is hiding in the dark, watching everything in the dark."
