The knight in the abyss

Chapter 804 Lich's Principle

"The one fighting it should be a senior priest of Melkor..." Lancelot touched his chin, "Can't even this kind of person completely wipe out the Lich?"

"The identity of a lich is a high-level spellcaster first, and then an undead creature. A kobold legendary spellcaster stands in front of you, will you despise it because it is a kobold?" Kelenvor reminded gently, "Besides, if nothing unexpected, it should have happened to be the period of the Saint's catastrophe. After losing the ability to cast divine spells, it was not easy for the priest to win. However, for the Lich, the time between being killed and being destroyed There is no necessary relationship."

"I've also heard some information about liches... After they are killed, their souls will not leave the current plane, but will return to a special device to be resurrected?"

"Yes, they will use the phylactery to bind their souls. If they are killed, the soul of the lich will return to the phylactery instead of floating to the outer plane. The phylactery will disappear within a few days. Prepare a new body for the Lich, in theory, any kind of body is fine, but undead is the safest choice."

"Thank you for your answer, my lord." Lancelow nodded politely and respectfully, then turned his head to look at the princess again, "Now there is a bad situation, in order to enter this secret room, we may, perhaps, probably , unintentionally helped Peyton Derek regain his strength. Please don't show that expression, you are absolutely safe here, after all, the great Lord of Death sits in person... But we still have to try to defeat Peyton, so as to relieve this A curse on the land. Can you advise on this? Anything that might help us win."

"Did you defeat Peyton..." A self-deprecating smile appeared on the pale face of the princess, "I used to think I was his weakness, but it seems that he has overcome this weakness. He even said with a smile that he would take the coffin Open, and take a portion of my body as a souvenir, after I expressly refused to be her queen."

"Why do I feel as if I know someone who also has this habit..." Brutal said with his brows furrowed, "Who is it..."

"The person who brought us here." Aramir reminded, "Lord of Oasis Castle, 'Necrophilia' Molo...I'm really sorry, ma'am, I don't mean any offense..."

"It's okay, I'm indeed a corpse."

"Even so, you still look very hot."

"Oh? You mean, under this cold corpse?"

"Yes, like a song of ice and fire."

"Hahahaha, that sounds so sweet, oh damn Peyton, what did you make me miss..."

"Damn..." Tanya quietly tugged at Aramiel's cloak, and whispered, "Are you sure?"

"I'm a priest of Lady Love." Alamel winked at his companion, "I'm immune to many diseases."

"Is there such a benefit?!" The half-elf looked shocked, "But that's too..."

"Ahem!" Lancelot couldn't help it anymore, and interrupted loudly, "Your Highness, please forgive my presumptuousness, but did Payton say at that time, which part of your body it wants to take away?"

"Of course, but I'm afraid it's not what you think." The young lady gave Lancelot a wink, "He said he wanted a thigh bone of mine so a part of me could stay with him forever , and every time I walk, I hit his... other leg bone."

"Your thigh bone?" There was a trace of strangeness in Lancelot's voice, "Do you think it is possible that its own bone is missing?"

"Maybe." The princess shrugged. "To be honest, I would feel a strong nausea when I think of my bones being mounted on a skull. Fortunately, there is nothing in my body to vomit." gone."

"Lancelot, do you know the whereabouts of that leg bone?" Kelemvor asked suddenly, "Where is it?"

"The Lady of the Wolf King's Embrace in Chadgori, known as the Baroness, has a suspicious item in her collection. Considering that she has been recruiting adventurers to explore this tomb, I am very surprised. Do you believe that bone has nothing to do with Peyton Derek..." Lancelot frowned and thought, "Could it be that the lost bone of the lich is one of their weaknesses?"

"For ordinary people, no, but I am not an ordinary person." Kelenvor smiled, "Do you know why liches can be resurrected infinitely?"

"Didn't you explain it just now, because their souls are bound in the phylactery..."

"That's true, so the question is, why can the phylactery bind the souls of the lich so that they don't have to go to the realm of obscurity after death?"

"Because of the aggregation of the soul?" Karaline on the side spoke first, "The lich cuts off a small part of the soul and stores it in the phylactery, so that when they are killed, the soul will be bound in the phylactery first. Partially attracted, thus returning to the phylactery on its own, rather than going to the Outer Planes..."

"That's very good, I really deserve to be the one chosen by midnight." Kelenvor nodded towards the scholar, "The reason is indeed that. However, if I can hold a part of its body, be careful not to leave it after death Corpse, then when it is killed, I can forcibly 'pull' its soul over and lock it in that bone. At that time, it will either be destroyed by me directly, or it will let go of the restrictions on its own and return to the Crystal Tower with me stand trial."

"This sounds... a bit like the resurrection of a high-level demon through the essence talisman..."

"It's not like, these two methods are basically multiplied in the same vein." Kara Lin said again, "The first lich was born in the hands of the 'Undead Lord' Ocus, one of the three giants of the abyss. However, there has always been a view in the academic circles that Orcus, who was once an archmage, was the first to invent the essence talisman..."

"However, it's not that simple to separate souls, is it?" Lancelow looked at Kelemvor with a strange look, "In this multiverse, it seems that only gods can separate souls. "

Cultivators can too, Lancelot thought silently in his heart at the same time.It's just training to the stage of distraction... that's all.

"Divinity-like power can cut a small piece from a complete soul without completely destroying that soul." Kelemvor sighed softly, "The Lord of the Abyss and the Grand Duke of the Devil all meet this requirement." One condition, but they usually put forward some very harsh exchange conditions, and unless your own strength has reached an astonishing level, you can force that kind of existence to obey your will, otherwise the seemingly powerful Lich is nothing more than a certain Eternal slave to an evil being..."
