Chapter 796 (2/2)
With the strength of Sean and others, even if they only face a lich who has been trapped here for countless years and has lost almost all its mana, they can't easily defeat it. Because the Lich itself is immortal. No matter how serious trauma and destructive attack, they can only temporarily lose their action power. If they want to kill the lich, they must destroy the life box, otherwise everything will be in vain.
”I think maybe we can talk.” Sean glanced around and didn't find the person who spoke just now, but he was very clear that since the other party spoke, it means that he can communicate. At least, he can't communicate at all like facing the fear knight. ”If you want to leave here, our purpose is the same.”
There was a silence.
Everyone looked at each other, but they could feel heavy pressure from each other's eyes. After all, they were likely to face a dead creature who had only wisdom and could communicate - if it was a lich. Of course, if it is a necromancer, he can still manipulate 20 necromancer warriors, and his power can not be underestimated. Therefore, Sean really doesn't want to fight if it's not necessary.
Because this is destined to be a fierce battle.
”No, that's interesting...” after a moment of silence, when the atmosphere was almost depressed enough to drive ordinary people crazy, a voice finally sounded, ”here, for a long time... No, living people... Appeared. So, I haven't communicated for a long time. ”
The sound was still sluggish and not smooth at first, but soon the sound became smooth. However, what really concerns Sean and others is not the surprising speed of the language recovery of the voice owner, but the information revealed in this tone shows that this person is really not hostile to Sean and others, and has a very strong tendency to communicate.
This may be a rare good news for Sean and others.
Because it also means that they can negotiate to avoid a fierce battle.
”Excuse me, are you...”
”Me?” After issuing a word, the owner of the voice fell into silence again.
After a long time - for those who have completely lost their sense of time, it may be more than ten seconds or ten minutes, or even several days - then they finally heard the owner of the voice say, ”forget Time is too long. May I ask, what time is it? ”
”... are you... Asking about the age?”
Sean originally wanted to use the honorific name, but he found that this distorted space caused people to completely lose their sense of time and direction, so it's hard to say whether the other party felt old because of the loss of the sense of time. If so, Sean's use of honorific names is likely to make people laugh, so after a little hesitation, Sean still didn't use honorific names.
”Age... Sort of.”
”It may be 1876...”
”Possible?” There was some doubt in the other party's tone.
”Our sense of time has been completely lost, so we don't know how long we have been in this place.” Sean answered, ”but when we entered this space, it was the end of May 1876.”
”Continental calendar?” The owner of the mysterious voice fell into silence again, but this time he soon spoke again: ”it seems that I should have stayed here for a long time, so long that I have forgotten many memories So the mermaid Empire has been destroyed? ”
This time, Sean heard that the other party had existed since the era of the mermaid Empire, and whether it was the old Mermaid empire or the new Mermaid empire in the ash age, it was enough to prove that this person had lived for tens of thousands of years. If the person who can live so long is not a lich, Sean will cut off his head: ”even the Atlantis Empire has been destroyed for a long time. Now... On the surface, human beings are dominating, and the activity areas of other races are limited. ”
”Human beings.” When the owner of the voice spoke of the term, he obviously had a bit of strange emotion.
But this time, the other party did not continue to hide, but finally came out of the shadow of a stone pillar. Sean and others noticed that the other mage's robe was very ragged. They could even see the white bones in the ragged robe. Such existence was undoubtedly a lich.
Because if they are necromancer or necromancer, at least their bodies still have flesh and blood. If it is skeleton mage or skeleton mage, they can't have the capital to transform the dead warrior, because skeleton mage exists at a lower level than the dead warrior, so let alone transformation, even manipulation is completely impossible.
A genuine Lich.
Sean and others swallowed.
”I mean you no harm.” The Lich seemed to feel the emotional fluctuations of Sean and others, and then said, ”my memory is very chaotic now, and many things have been forgotten by me Probably, in order to preserve my knowledge about mages as much as possible, I deleted all the unimportant memories during the transformation, so now I neither remember who I am nor completely forget what era I am. But... I remember who I was before I was transformed. ”
Speaking of this, the Lich gave out Jie Jie's laughter, probably to show his humor, but no matter how he heard it, it obviously looked extremely terrible: ”I'm a human.”
Sean and others echoed with a smile.
”AKAS is a gadget I made. I stuffed all the souls I could capture nearby. Now that AKAS's mount is with you, it proves that AKAS is dead.” The Lich didn't mind Sean's reaction and asked, ”but you can rest assured that I didn't intend to carry out any strange experiments on you. I didn't intend to come out, but I heard you say you have a way to leave, so I was in a hurry and summoned other slaves to intercept you. I apologize for this.”
At this point, the Lich even bowed slightly and apologized to Sean and others.
Sean was really curious. Why did the Lich delete his identity as a useless memory, but retain the etiquette of these ancient nobles? At least in Sean's view, if he was allowed to choose, he would certainly choose to forget these aristocratic etiquette and his identity. However, it was naturally impossible for him to ask about the Lich in front of him, especially it didn't look weak at all - in Sean's real eyes, the rich dark energy emitted by the Lich was more than ten times that absorbed by the black king before!
”We should be sorry. It's us.” Sean, you're welcome.
”No, no, no, it's my fault. The matter of AKAS is another matter, but it's really my problem to scare you. ” The Lich said, ”and I also know that as I am now, I don't have a good reputation in the outside world. But I've been trapped here for a long time, so long that I don't know how I live until now, so I urgently want to leave. I hope you can take me when you leave here. ”
At the same time, the Lich waved a little. Even if a dead warrior turned and left, he soon dragged a big pocket.
It's more a cloth bag torn by a mage's robe and tiled out. However, looking at the heavy appearance of this cloth bag, it is obvious that it contains a lot of things, and it is impossible to escape the ranks of ”treasures” that can make a lich feel valuable for collection.
”These things are regarded as my shock to you and my travel expenses to leave here.” The Lich ordered the dead warrior to open the cloth bag. For a moment, the pearly gas emitted from the cloth bag blinded Sean's titanium alloy dog eye. ”If you still feel uneasy, I can sign an ancient mage blood deed with your mage friends to ensure that I won't cause any harm to you after I leave.”
”I agree.” Sean nodded without hesitation, ”but the content of the blood deed must be formulated by me.”
”Yes.” This time, it was the Lich's turn to nod without hesitation.
Seeing that Sean and the Lich reached an agreement after a few words, everyone looked at Sean in horror. In the history of the whole miracle continent, Sean is the only one who dares to negotiate with the Lich and extract wealth from the Lich?
But Cecilia's reaction was different. She just yawned lazily.
Think that Sean not only fooled the madmen of the peace association, smashed the devil's field, but also killed the great figures of the Millennium covenant Empire, and even the goddess of life dared to pit. Now it's just a lich for a negotiation with no choice. Cecilia won't be shocked at all. On the contrary, she looked at the Lich with some sympathy. After all, she had experienced so many things with Sean. How could she not know Sean's temperament.
As long as he makes the rules, it's tantamount to letting Sean make the rules of the game. The rules of the game formulated by Sean must be observed by even God, let alone just a lich. At this moment, Cecilia was wondering how much blood Sean was going to let the Lich shed. Cecilia didn't care if she was the one signing the blood deed, because she knew that Sean would never pit her.
Cecilia has always had unconditional trust in Sean.
