Necromancers believe in the god of death and the god of the underworld, which is a very religious and mysterious sect. The ancient sect of the ruins of the ancient tomb of thousands of corpses is somewhat similar to the Church of the Necromancers, the only difference may lie in the question of whether they have faith or not.
Anyway.
This kind of monk who deals with ghosts and corpses is kept at a respectful distance by most people. Back when Greenland City was still prosperous, Lich brought a large group of necromancers to Greenland City. They drove thousands of ghost corpses. They were simply excellent hard labor that would never get tired. They dug mountains to build cities for the half-elves. Make great contributions.
It is precisely because of this that the half-elves allow the Necromancer to build temples in order to develop believers and increase their influence. Who knows that over the years, the power of the Necromancer has become stronger and stronger, and there is even a faint tendency to threaten the half-elves, especially the outbreak of the plague , which is clearly a masterpiece of the Necromancer Cult.
Clark led the half-elves to surround the Temple of the Dead.
The Necromancer Temple is a gray castle with pointed round arches. A large number of gargoyles turned into stone statues squat up and down the castle like sculptures. They look like decorations, but they are actually dangerous death monsters.
At this moment, several circles around the castle were surrounded by the Guardians of the Green.
Thousands of elite half-elfs gathered around the entrance of the Necromancer Temple, and they were confronting the necromancers. The two sides were at war with each other, and they looked like they would fight at any time.
Clark's face was full of anger: "Samuel, do you really want to be an enemy of Greenland City?"
"Hehehe." The leader of the necromancer priests sneered: "Clark, Greenland City is no longer a half-elf. You should be very clear about this. Even if you are an enemy of Greenland City, what does it matter to you? Come out like a city lord, I really want to see what kind of person it is, who let you half-elves shamelessly send to the city and bow their heads."
This man was extremely mean.
Chu Tian raised his brows, showing displeasure, and Dolores whispered in his ear solemnly: "Samuel, an important priest of the Necromancer Temple, his strength is quite good, probably the third level of the true spirit, It is estimated that it can be ranked among the top five among the necromancer priests here."
"Then why isn't he a lich?"
Samuel is not a lich, but a living person, but his body is covered with bandages, and he is wearing a huge cloak, which makes it impossible to see the appearance, so it is impossible to distinguish the race.
"Do you think every necromancer is a lich?" Dolores rolled her eyes angrily, "Lich transformation is one of the top rituals of the Necromancer Church, and only truly outstanding and powerful people are eligible , and people with such qualifications may not necessarily be suitable for transforming into a lich. In the entire Greenland Necromancer Church, there is only one lich, the founder. It is said that it is an old monster that has lived for two thousand years. Those old elves in the forest are even older!"
"Is an inferior existence like a lich worthy of such admiration?" Chu Tian curled his lips in disdain: "Your thinking is hard to understand."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who doesn't envy liches!" Dolores retorted, "Liches are immortal. Immortality is the dream of many people. How many kings and emperors in the mainland hope that they can become Immortal lich, I don't believe you don't pursue immortality."
The lich in people's hearts has always been a very mysterious existence. This kind of undead monster is directly transformed by living beings through some kind of ritual. Lich is theoretically eternal.
"Your views are completely wrong." Chu Tian said lightly: "Don't think that liches are so good. They have no breath, no heartbeat, no senses, no need to eat, no need to reproduce, and at the price of depriving all the joy of survival, in exchange for What's the point of an immortal body?"
If you can't taste delicious food, you can't appreciate beautiful women, you can't enjoy the pleasure of men and women, you can't appreciate the beauty of the world with your eyes, you might as well just die.
"You can't deny the benefits of being a lich, either."
"The lich is indeed near immortality, but only almost, not really immortal."
"What? Could the lich still die?"
"Theoretically, a lich has an unlimited lifespan. Some powerful liches can even strip their souls to make a phylactery, so that even if the body is destroyed, they can still be reborn through the phylactery hidden elsewhere. However, the witch The existence of demons is not eternal, and what liches get rid of is the aging and destruction of the body, and they still cannot escape the aging and exhaustion of the soul."
There are many creatures or non-living things in this world that claim to have immortal life, such as the flower spirits that Chutian met. These life theories do not have an upper limit of life. In fact, flower spirits are more fragile than most lives, and they are extremely dependent on the environment. , if the living environment is destroyed, it is difficult for the flower essence to survive for a long time.
The body, spirit, and soul of living things have always been interdependent. Matter determines the will, and the will determines the soul. Without material support, the will will gradually become flat, and finally lose its humanity and even self-awareness, and the soul will also perish in this process.
Once a creature becomes a lich, they must use secret methods to simulate and maintain emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but this method cannot last forever. After living for a thousand or two thousand years, most liches are already very numb to emotional fluctuations. The will becomes colder and colder, and eventually loses humanity and self-awareness completely, and the instincts of creatures will fade, and finally become an undead.
Chu Tian knew how a lich could transform, but he was not interested in this kind of monster at all.
These words attracted the attention of the people around, even the people from the Necromancer Temple looked over.
"Acting city lord!"
"The acting city lord is here!"
The half-elves chattered and cast odd glances at the young humans, most of them suspicious and distrustful. It is unacceptable for a half-elf to let a human be the city lord here. The plague in Greenland City has been so severe recently that the so-called acting city lord has not shown up until now, which is really unreasonable.
"Who am I to dare to talk about the great Lich?" Samuel looked at Chutian, his eyes were full of ridicule and anger: "Is the half-elf desperate? Such a useless waste of human beings Can be a city lord? It would not be surprising if this city is destroyed."
Dolores immediately asked: "That is to say, you admit that everything is caused by necromancers?"
"Don't you understand? This is not important or the point at all." Samuel's eyes were full of sarcasm, "The tens of thousands of half-elves infected with the plague may not survive for two days. This is the point."
"You deceive people too much!"
The half-elf was outraged.
This thing is 100% the masterpiece of necromancers.
There must be a reason why Samuel dared to be so arrogant. That damned lich didn't show up, so what's the use of killing these necromancer priests in front of him now? The half-elf still couldn't solve the situation in front of it, not to mention tens of thousands of tribesmen were infected, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of hostages being held by them. The half-elf couldn't ignore the tribesmen, so they were destined to be threatened by these despicable necromancers.
Anyway.
Let's save the tribe first.
Clark couldn't help but asked loudly: "What are your conditions! Tell me!"
"The half-elf really wants the tribe to survive. It's very simple. Give up the position of the city lord and let the great Lich rule the Greenland City. Otherwise, this little plague is just the beginning."
"Dreaming! Lich is also worthy of owning Greenland City?"
"A trash human can be your city lord, but the noble and knowledgeable Lich can't? Clark, please understand, I'm not joking with you, think about the tens of thousands of people who are struggling in pain, I swear Except for us necromancers, no one can do anything." Samuel pointed at Chutian: "Of course, you still have another choice, that is to kill this human being, send his head to the eternal forest, and then take refuge in Longling , From then on, you will be loyal to Longling, so you half-elves are still the masters of this city. Not only will the Church of the Dead not be an enemy of your Greenland Church, but it will also become your solid ally."
It is impossible for the Lich to sit on the throne of the city lord.
It's not that the Necromancer Priest is ignorant of this. Samuel deliberately made such a request, but it was actually just paving the way for the second request.
Kill Chutian.
Sever ties with the Everforest.
This is what Longling wants to see.
The lives of tens of thousands of half-elves are in the hands of necromancers. This should not be a difficult choice. After all, half-elves don't like humans either, so why give up the lives of their clansmen for a mere human
"You should know the old and stubborn people in the Eternal Forest." Samus added fuel to the fire and said, "I don't think the Elf King personally sends someone to take over Greenland City, it's not that he doesn't value Greenland City, but he doesn't care about it at all. Choose, the elves don't like to be involved in disputes, your choice to seek refuge in the Eternal Forest was wrong from the very beginning, and what is before you now is an opportunity to correct your mistakes."
With a swipe sound, he drew out the Nether Sword.
"I think you're talking too much nonsense." Chu Tian walked out with a long sword in his hand, "Do you really want me to die? Then Uncle Chu Tian will give you a chance. Now I'm standing here, and I'll kill you if I can." me."
Samuel sneered and said, "You also want to cooperate with me?"
Chu Tian laughed: "If you didn't hate me so much, I wouldn't be too lazy to dirty my sword!"
A wave of anger surged from Samuel's body. He stretched out a dead branch-like finger and began to mutter words. Suddenly, a strong corpse smell filled the surroundings, and a ball of dark green fire rapidly expanded at the fingertips.
"Human beings who are overconfident, let you see how powerful the Yinsha Corpse Fire is!"
This green fireball containing a strong corpse smell directly hit Chu Tian's feet, and that strong, disgusting smell immediately gushed out in all directions, causing the others to back away involuntarily.
Green flames suddenly soared into the sky.
Chu Tian didn't make any moves, and was instantly engulfed by the flames.
Dolores was shocked, no way, that guy is powerless to resist
The half-elves were also taken aback. Although they knew that the acting city lord was definitely not strong, they didn't expect to be so weak that they didn't even have room to resist
Samuel sneered, "What a joke."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Youzai walked out of a figure in the sea of fire. Originally, the raging fire completely engulfed his body, and no one felt the power fluctuation on Chutian. It was just very strange that the flame passed through his body, but it did not cause any damage. Not a single hair, not a single corner was hurt.
"What's going on here?"
Everyone at the scene showed horror.
Someone discovered a very strange phenomenon, Chu Tian's originally pitch-black pupils turned white at this moment, and the aura of his whole body completely disappeared.
He is standing here on the surface.
But it doesn't feel like it exists.
If a few high-level personnel of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce would recognize it here, this set of exercises is the spatial movement method "Void Escape" that Chutian once taught Vivian, and now Chutian is able to perform it by himself!
