Ghalib seemed to have guessed the shock in Catherine's heart. He tapped his fingers gently on the table in front of him, but did not continue to speak, and allowed Catherine to sit there in a daze. After a while, Catherine replied After she regained her composure, a suspicious expression appeared in her eyes, and she kept scanning Jialibu's body, as if hoping to find out the truth or falsehood of Jialibu's words.
Ghalib smiled slightly. He knew that Catherine had been moved by his words, but because of the fear of the demigod lich Kangs, he was still a little hesitant in his heart, so he simply put it aside and said: "Since ancient times, everyone has When a super strong person appears, there will always be a group of strong people growing up around them. This is true for the seven kings of the alien world, and the same is true for the demigod lich. It can be said that the appearance of a super strong person will make a person Races and even planes have also risen with it, and many times, in order to have more help around them, they will not hesitate to use various taboo methods."
"If I'm not wrong, the strength of the demigod Lich Kangs should have reached the level of a demigod. But why are there still seven kings of the alien world instead of eight? It's actually very simple, because his strength may be able to barely He competed with those seven kings, but the strength around him was far inferior to the other kings. The undead army sweeping across the continent seemed unstoppable, but in fact it was completely powerless when facing the main armies of other kings. You must know it very well. The undead army relies on huge numbers, and there are not many strong men in it. Moreover, this so-called number is only for a continent like Eslar. Such strength is for a demigod-level strong man. It’s a bit inappropriate.”
Seeing Catherine's listening expression, Ghalib continued, "With the power of my domain, I can help Ryan to forcibly upgrade the strength of his closest wife to the legendary realm, and this is not a unilateral charity. It's about the complementarity of both sides. As time goes by, when Ryan and Faras realize the power they inherited from each other, their strength will soon take a big step forward. From the time I started teaching Ryan martial arts to today, it's just a mere ten. It’s only been ten years. For a transformed Lich, it’s just a blink of an eye. But why is it, Catherine, that your current strength is still at the primary stage of a legendary powerhouse and there has never been any substantial improvement? ."
After listening to Ghalib's words, Catherine fell silent. Although she was unwilling to admit it, Ghalib pointed out the key point to the point. This made Catherine think deeply. She couldn't help but compare Ryan with herself and began to think about this. Regarding the questions inside, in terms of the qualifications of both parties, Catherine asked herself whether she would be inferior to Ryan. Even if she was not as good as Ryan, the gap between them was not very big. As for the time spent on magic research by both parties, Catherine surpassed Ryan by a few. Ten times. This huge advantage is enough to offset Catherine's other shortcomings. However, the current situation is that Ryan's strength continues to grow rapidly. Catherine is already feeling very strenuous. However, no matter how hard she tries, it is always difficult to find a step forward. This really discouraged Catherine, who prided herself on being a genius.
Galib's strength is definitely not as good as that of the demigod lich Cons, but Catherine has specialized in magic for hundreds of years under the guidance of her teacher Cons, while Ryan only learned some martial arts with Galib, and then went on to study in Germany. Lanai's men learned some magic skills, but relying on these things, Ryan actually grew up step by step. I recall that in the mines of Elmida, I could easily massacre the entire Ryan team with just one plane projection. , but now Ryan alone faced seven powerful men of the Undead Legion in Seike City at the same time, and escaped unharmed after killing and defeating several people. During this period, he also destroyed the entire plan of the Lich Lord Nicholas. , all this cannot be explained by just good luck,
Catherine began to desperately recall the years after she was transformed into a lich. She suddenly discovered that with the power of the demigod lich, there was actually a guy like the Millennium Mummy King existing near the Crazy Lich Tower. This was really abnormal. , you must know that when Catherine was reversed and transformed into a human, her strength had dropped to the level of a great magister because she had lost many of the powers unique to the lich form, but even so, Catherine could easily kill the thousand-year-old mummy alone. The king and his army, how come his teacher actually allowed that guy to exist near his station for thousands of years
There is another point that is even more confusing for Catherine. After any creature undergoes the Lich Transformation Ceremony, as long as it succeeds, it can greatly increase its own strength. Since the success rate of this ritual is not very high, the stronger it is before being transformed. , the easier it is to persevere to the end, and the strength improvement after success is more significant. However, the demigod lich actually allowed countless powerful legendary experts from other worlds to only look for their goals in the continent of Eslar.
"I remember that Nicholas used to be Alexander Andrew's chief magician. As a result, I became the teacher's student at that time, and now I am ordered to win over Ryan. Is this really a coincidence, or is the teacher actually targeting this? Plane, try your best to nip in the bud all the powerful people who may be born here." Thinking of this, Catherine suddenly shuddered, because she thought of a key point, and Ghalib saw the expression in Catherine's eyes. fear, and nodded with satisfaction, because he knew that his goal was achieved,
"If Kang Si really wanted to expand his power, then he should not have given up on the other world, but instead invaded this continent repeatedly for many years. If it is just explained by avoiding the sharp edges of the seven kings, this seems to be It’s hard to make sense.” Ghalib said slowly: “Catherine, if my guess is not wrong, there should be something that the demigod lich needs in this plane.”
"Huh." Catherine didn't dare to think about it any more. She could only express her position in this way, but even she didn't know whether she was scorning Ghalib's words or just to prevent the teacher from passing the test. Wisps of soul fragments know one's own thoughts,
"Well, I don't know what the secret is here, and I believe you don't know either. There is no need for us to continue to entangle ourselves." Ghalib knew what Catherine meant, so he changed the topic: " I know why you showed up in Cassano. It's probably because the demigod lich has taken a liking to Ryan again and asked you to find a way to win him over. Hehe, he has good intentions. Last time it was Andrew, and this time it's Andrew. Ryan.”
Seeing that there was no way to hide her inner secret in front of Jialib, Catherine instinctively had the idea of turning around and running away. However, the dragon aura emanating from Jialib made her quite attached to it. That kind of bloodline The feeling of connection was irresistible to Catherine. In this contradictory mood, Catherine chose to continue sitting on the chair, neither speaking nor expressing her position, as if she did not exist in front of Ghalib.
"I won't interfere with your choice, but I want to remind you that if you don't want to be as depressed as me, then don't hurt the people around Ryan. Remember, remember, Ryan can tolerate you. His rebelliousness can ignore your identity, but if you touch his rebellious scale, then it will only be you who will regret it in the end, Catherine."
"Bah, bah, what are you talking about?" Catherine originally planned to pretend to be a puppet, but she didn't know that Jialib's words made her unable to sit still, so she quickly retorted,
"Well, your appearance and scheming are exactly the same as your mother's, but unfortunately you also inherited a small flaw from her, that is, when you say something that you don't mean, your eyes will blink involuntarily. Give it a few strokes." Ghalib sighed: "If you have no interest in Ryan at all, and many of your previous reactions and behaviors are completely unexplainable, Catherine, my child, you have fallen in love with Ryan, and you are hopeless. I fell in love with him, just like your mother fell in love with me."
"You, you." Catherine didn't notice at all what Ghalib called her. The love she had buried deep in her heart was brought out by Ghalib in public. This caused Catherine's mind to become confused and she blushed. She opened her face and wanted to deny it, but was reluctant to say it. As a result, her face turned into a ripe red apple in the shortest time. This change made Catherine couldn't help but bury her head in her arms and never dared to look at Canada again. Libu's eyes,
Seeing Catherine's reaction, Ghalib knew that his guess was correct. In fact, he only saw some clues. Unexpectedly, he knew the result after just one trial. This made him jealous of Ryan, just like all fathers. He was jealous of his son-in-law, but he was more happy in his heart.
At that time, Ghalib was depressed for half his life because of his willfulness. Now he will never let Ryan make the same mistake again. This is why he did not hesitate to point out Catherine's feelings for Ryan when he talked to Catherine for the first time. He believed that Ryan would definitely He would not do anything to disgrace the women around him, so Ghalib would not worry about Catherine's future happiness. As for Ryan's slightly passive character, Ghalib believed that with him behind the scenes, everything would be solved. This was also done before,
The soul contract between Vivian and Adela is not so much that Ghalib helped Ryan's men improve their strength, but that he directly tied the two women tightly to Ryan until Ryan got used to it. The existence of these two women is naturally inseparable from them. Fulia dared to confess to Ryan, mainly because of the encouragement of Ghalib and what she said. Otherwise, maybe the elf queen would make everything happen. Deep down in his heart, the equal contract between Faras and Ryan was Calibu's deliberate idea. As Ryan's wife, if she did not cooperate with his strength, then this wife would not only be boring but also very painful.
Now it's Catherine's turn. For the happiness of his daughter, Ghalib naturally wants to find the safest way to solve the two most troublesome problems between the two of them: the soul fragments controlled by the demigod lich and the law. For the former, Ghalib only needs to spend some time thinking about countermeasures and spend some energy to solve the hostility between Lasi and Catherine. As for the consequences, if Catherine really does something that Faras cannot forgive, So even with Jialib's powerful strength, he is powerless. After all, he is not a god and cannot help a completely dead person to resurrect or reincarnate. That's why he gave the previous warning,
Seeing that what he said today, Jialibu achieved his goal. He successfully made Catherine suspicious of the demigod lich, so that she would no longer unconditionally carry out all the orders given by her teacher. He believed that Catherine must He will try his best to avoid the delay, and the demigod lich cannot completely destroy his subordinate just because of Catherine's temporary incompetence. This also gives Ghalib enough time to come up with countermeasures. As for the relationship between Catherine and Farasi, The grievances between us can really only be relied on by Catherine herself, so he waved his hand gently and said to Catherine: "Think carefully about what I said today. I hope you will not affect your life's happiness because of your willfulness. As strong men, our lifespans are very long. Do you want a person like me to wander aimlessly?"
Seeing Catherine sitting on the chair with blank eyes, Ghalib shook his head with a wry smile and quietly left Ryan's study. He waved to prevent others from disturbing Catherine's thinking, and then pulled Ryan and Ghalib together. Knowing where he had gone, by the time Catherine walked out of Ryan's study, it was already late at night, and the person who appeared in front of Catherine was Ryan's wife Farasi.
"Very good, I've finally waited for you." Faras said these words almost through gritted teeth.
If she had had a conversation with Ghalib before, Catherine would have definitely ridiculed her, and even used the power of her natural charm to fight back against Farasi. However, she no longer had the interest to do so, and just took out a sculpted sculpture from her arms. The earthen jars with countless magic spells were handed to Faras,
"What is this?" Faras did not expect that Catherine would do this, so she asked subconsciously,
"Ah, this is the soul jar." Victor's voice came from behind Faras. The archmage of the imperial capital was still worried that Faras would be unable to bear it and have a conflict with Catherine. Although Catherine, who belonged to the undead army, was in the imperial capital, She has done countless things that divided mankind, which can be considered heinous, but she is now the blood of the strongest man in the Human Alliance, Galib. This makes Catherine's situation very delicate. Victor does not want Farasi A violent conflict with Catherine at this critical moment would intensify the conflict and produce unpredictable effects. After all, Galibuken helped mankind because of his master-disciple relationship with Ryan. Now if this relationship has anything to do with the relationship between father and daughter, After the collision, Victor really didn't know what kind of choice the other party could make, so he quietly followed Faras.
Catherine stuffed the exquisite soul jar into Farasi's palm, then walked around her body and walked outside. Although Catherine did not elaborate, Farasi and Victor had already guessed that the soul jar contained What was it? The two people couldn't accept the fact in front of them for a moment. Faras's eyes filled with tears, while Victor's body began to tremble due to excitement. Fortunately, both of them were already He became a legendary strong man, so he quickly returned to his original state.
Looking at Catherine's figure that was about to disappear into the night, Faras said softly: "Although all this is caused by you, I still want to say... thank you."
"Humph, I can't imitate Vivian, nor is I Fulia. I am myself, Catherine Landy." Catherine's voice came from the deep night, and the last sentence had become louder. gossamer,
