What is my relationship with this bad guy in front of me
I'm afraid it's already unclear.
There was a time when we were companions on adventures together, and then for more time, it was the relationship between the hero and the demon king. Of course, the relationship that lasted the longest was the relationship between the jailer and the prisoner.
Now the jailer says he's tired, old, and doesn't want to work, but intends to hand over the prison to the prisoners
"What a joke!! Are you going to give this city to me, the lich? I, the devil who almost destroyed the world? Stop joking!"
Adam smiled wryly.
"I don't think it's reliable either, so who do you think I can give it to?"
Yes, to whom? As a red dragon, Xiaohong fits her racial characteristics very well. She sleeps when she is full, finds someone to play when she wakes up, and goes to sleep when she is tired... But if she is the city owner, I am afraid she will sell it into gold coins the next day. .
Margaret, the last sage of the Big Three? She is shrewd and knowledgeable and should be the right person.
"Margaret was the first choice, of course, but she said no."
Of course others won't do it. She has spent more than a hundred years of her youth here. Now you don't know what to say, and you plan to sacrifice love across the river of time, and then leave your responsibilities to others, Margo. Rita has been very restrained without fixing you.
Looking at the unhappy man in front of me, I couldn't help but get angry, how could such a nice girl like Margaret like this idiot.
"Damn, if I had a good girl like Margaret to like..."
"Haha." Adam smiled proudly, making him want to cover his face and hit him hard.
"Bastard, you've been beaten."
Well, it's better to take action than to act. Now that I think of it, why should I hesitate? Give this old handsome guy a dark circle under his eyes!
Then the two continued to fight, but ten seconds later, due to my professional disadvantage, I was suppressed by force again. When he sat on my spine and started to pull my leg bones, I had no choice but to slap the ground and surrender.
"Stop it! The bone's going to be broken, it's going to be broken! It's broken! Asshole, if I were a Paladin..."
"Come on, say, are you going to take it or not!"
"Don't do it! It's hard to wait until I'm released. I still have my own things to do. I want to use the prisoner's position to tie the prisoner? What are you kidding me!"
"Prison? You still regard this city where our hearts are united as a prison that traps you? You are willing to watch it become a vassal of other dungeon masters because of the loss of its patrons."
"Of course..." I had originally said something like "Of course it's the prison, who cares about it", but halfway through, I hesitated.
Do I really let the city that I have built with my own hands for more than a hundred years be regarded as a prison that binds me? I have to say that in my long life, the days in Sulphur Mountain were the most pleasant.
Multi-racial mixed living, no major wars have been encountered for decades, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This strange city is probably different from any city on the Ashe Continent. We made it bit by bit.
"Well, it's really annoying to let these greedy pigs take possession of our hard-forged jewelry, so what do you want me to do, don't say let me be the city lord, you know I have my own things to do, I don't have the energy at all. Just tell the truth."
He understands me, and I understand him naturally. He should know that I cannot accept being the city lord. Maybe, the current rhetoric is prepared by Margaret, and it is impossible to make me accept something by retreating.
"Hehe, the reaction is exactly the same as what Margaret said. Since we can't continue to be the city lord, then let's hand it over to the next generation?"
"The next generation? We're all bachelors, so the next generation? You mean..."
"Yes, Ann, my disciple, your rumored girlfriend, the red-haired Ann, is back."
…
Ann, orphan, this year... about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Don't look at me like that. She is an orphan adopted by Adam. The last time we met was seven or eight years ago. Lichs are not sensitive to time. I haven't seen her for many years. It's good for me to know the approximate age.
As for the rumored girlfriend, it's just a joke. She was still a loli at the time. Seeing our brothers complaining that there is no girlfriend to hurt each other, she actually said that I was pitiful and wanted to marry me when I grew up, so the lich Roland The girlfriend who was also a necrophile became a laughing stock that was always mentioned over and over again.
"Stop joking, leave it to Ann?? Are you sure there's still Sulphur Mountain City left the next day?"
What kind of guy is Ann? Describe it in one sentence, bear boy! ! The most arrogant boy in the world!
When we first met back then, I was putting maintenance grease on my bones, high-grade stuff mixed with Yanze snake butter, just as I was happy with the rubbed shiny skull...
"Ha, shoot!"
With a loud shout with a childish voice, the scenery in front of me flew back, and the perspective in front of me kept spinning. That day, I learned that even a lich would be dizzy if he turned his head too fast...
Later, my head flew out for a few miles, my headless body, and scared countless passers-by, before I found the head that fell into the trash can...
Even without a sense of smell, that afternoon, I was sickened by all the rubbish and bed bugs.
Only later did I know that Ann, who was only six years old at the time, was obsessed with the football game I "invented". What she liked most at the time was to follow the instinct of living things, and to see the circle, whether it was a trash can or a small one on the road. The cat and the puppy then shouted and kicked out.
And the skull of the lich is also round, and the reflective head that was rubbed at that time is quite similar to the white ball...
I'm not a stingy person, and I don't care about my children, but it seems that the other party fell in love with the "feeling of feet" that vigorously volleyed.
"Those leather balls are for girls, and they fall apart with a lot of strength. Uncle Bones's skull is full of magic. It's much more interesting than those boring balls. It's especially fun to kick."
So far, I am deeply disgusted by the childish smile of the bear child.
The most incredible thing is that her attack has no warning, but she is not malicious, and most of the protection spells on me are activated with malicious intent... So, before I rewrote the protection magic, in those days, It's really unbearable.
So, every time we meet, it becomes a disaster.
In those days, I often only heard the iconic greeting "Hi! Uncle Bones", and then the vision in front of me flew back, the sky and the earth rotated, 360 degrees, and then accurately entered the hole...
I would hate bear children so much, and that's how it started.
Then, when percussion and rappers became popular, this bear boy didn't know where he heard that bones with magic power are the best material for magic drum sticks, which can be accompanied by a magic resonance effect that will turn the whole audience...
And the most advanced bone magic material, except for keel, is the ultimate undead creature - the lich.
Well, her band "Skull Rock" did rock the city, but if I'm not a member of the instrument, I'm not happy to be praised for the sound of the ribs.
When she heard about the Snow Castle and the Winter Mountains from the storybook, she actually held a bone-themed sculpture art exhibition in a whimsical way.
"We don't have ice or snow here, only sulfur... But a lot of sulfur is poisonous. However, we are also famous as the capital of the dead. Make sculptures with the dead! My artistic cells are burning."
When this girl left the city and went outside to harm the world, the whole city fell into a carnival, and the happiest, I am afraid, were the undead who had been harmed enough by her in the east of the city.
Headless Horseman Polo Competition, Skeleton Dance King Selection, Banshee's "I'm the King of Songs", she has absolutely no fear of the undead as normal people should, and the entire Dongcheng District was turned into a death-themed deceased by her paradise.
However, the current theme of undead tourism also originated from this idea, and the plan of "revitalizing the Sulphur Mountain City Economic Belt with undead tourism as a selling point" has become a reality.
"Don't say that, although that girl Annie is making a mess, it's not her mischief that makes the undead get a lot closer to other citizens. Don't you think that taking the lead in this city, what you need is not so much ability, but An equal view of citizens? Anne is the best in that regard."
"Hmph, Margaret told you again."
"Haha, that's what I thought too. If people weren't expecting high enough, how could everyone follow her to make a fool of yourself."
"...As the helmsman, it's not enough to have only the bright side and the reputation of the people, and the secret wrist is essential. So, what do you and Margaret mean to ask me to help her?"
"As long as she's on her way, it won't take long. And if you think she's not doing well enough, you can replace her entirely. There's basically no one who can stop you anyway."
Adam smiled proudly. "Besides, Little Annie is your fiancée. It's natural to help her."
But I didn't answer. Originally, I planned to refuse, but an unexpected situation disrupted all my deployments.
At this moment, a golden panel jumped in front of me.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you can trigger the optional epic quest, Phoenix's Nirvana."
"Task requirements: Identify and solve the crisis encountered by Sulphur Mountain, and train Anne Levine to become a leader before Adam dies."
"Quest reward: Epic discount coupon (buy any item below epic level in the system store for half price), the qualification for opening the main story quest."
"At least... before you leave your hometown, entrust your home to a reliable person. You wouldn't expect to see ruins when you come back."
"Mission failure penalty: Is it better to turn you into a skeleton with mushrooms? Or is it better to have mushrooms with skeletons? Neither? That's a skeleton with a mushroom head."
In the past, I have also triggered the sudden mission of this pit system, but it is often the first time that I have killed many creatures and given an unreliable honorary title.
But at this moment, I was attracted by its rewards. The "qualification for opening the main storyline mission" was well understood at the time, and it was finally time for the game's storyline to unfold. The so-called mainline storyline mission is probably the historical event experienced by gamers, then The irresistible seven purgatory catastrophe.
This was originally expected, but another reward was very exciting.
"Discount coupon? If I can buy the flesh at half price, can't I be resurrected earlier?"
But then, another task jumped out.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, triggering the optional epic quest, the Lich King is back (why do I have to say it again)"
"Mission goal: No matter what evil god or conspiracy he is, tremble in front of the Lich Lord. Absolute violence may not solve everything, but at least it can solve the protesters. Become the city lord in the shortest time, rebuild the Eternal Night Legion, let the The living should fear the undead disaster again."
"It's time to make those lazy bones in Dongcheng District move. Let them continue to mess around, it will really become a theme park for the undead, and they will almost forget their honor of the East Wolf of the Night."
"Task reward: The qualification for opening the lord system and the continental hegemony plot, a most perfect demigod-level lich body."
"Punishment for mission failure: To be honest, you are so cunning as a thousand-year-old scourge that you are unparalleled in the world. I really can't think of any reason for you to fail."
