Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 221 An Ode to the Dead

"Everyone starts out drunk, and when they reach a turning point in their life, they can choose to be sober like a smart person, or stay drunk like most idiots."

"That's why you were still looking for a bottle of wine before we set off?" Standing on the upper floors of the Bloody Rose Bar, Beatrice and Lyle arrived here after being teleported from Naslan Castle.

"That's because I need it, you human idiot. Every second I spend with you, I need to quench my hunger, to resist my urge to bite your throat." Beatrice rolled her eyes at Lyle , eventually pulling out a tan glass bottle. "I need a bottle of spirits."

"Oh, thank you for your patience, Beatrice."

"Thank you for my dignity, it made me realize that you are just a nasty bug that can't be swallowed."

Beatrice was obviously not interested in chatting anymore, so Lyle, who looked at his expression, began to find something to divert his attention.He saw a crystal ball placed on the table, which happened to be the situation in the bar at this time, because it was still in the morning, so the passenger flow was relatively small, but there were still many people reveling.Most of the waiters have already changed shifts or rested, and in the projected image, Lyle only knows two of them.

"Candy has become an official waiter." The delicate boy in the picture is taking orders with a smile on his face. His face is still childish, but his expression is much more mature than before.Then, Lyle's eyes widened suddenly because of what he saw next.

He looked at Beatrice in surprise.

"Why is William in Bloody Rose, or a cleaner?"

"How do I know? When Anna brought him to me and said that this guy wanted to be a cleaner, I was also very surprised. But under Anna's eager eyes, I accepted, maybe this elementalist can still be in the ball Set off some fireworks to add to the fun."

"You mean, William is pursuing the succubus Anna?"

"Maybe, maybe not. After all, you men's eyes are blank, and you can't see your thoughts. I don't know if your thoughts are well disguised or just blank." After picking out enough wine, Beatrice was ready to go up. "Now, want to go down and catch up with your cleaner brother?"

Lyle waved his hand, "No, that would put us in a very awkward position with each other. Is there any other exit, such as a fire exit or something?"

At the moment Lyle lost his mind, Beatrice opened her bat wings, "We use flying, raise your hands."

The moment Lyle's finger was higher than his hair, Beatrice turned into an afterimage, grabbed his arm and flew out of the window.Feeling the emptiness of nothing under his feet and the dizziness of the high-altitude swing, the tension caused Lyall to start talking and distracting.

"Beatrice, can you actually carry me or... hold me?"

"Mr. Lyle, when you are at 50 meters, you should learn not to offend the driver."

"But Miss Beatrice, may I have a look at your pilot's license? I want to make sure it's not illegal to fly under the influence of alcohol in Wandering City."

"Of course, sharp-mouthed sir, do you want me to burn it to you?" Beatrice made a 360-degree spin in the air to shut Lyle completely. "Because of someone, the laws of the Wandering City have limited effect on me. You don't have to worry about the subsequent judicial disputes. After all, your Andrei team of lawyers is entrusted by outsiders."

Lyle didn't speak any more, he felt the breeze in the air current to endure the stomach acid that was about to rush into his throat, he was wearing a mask now, and he didn't want to wash his face with vomit.

When Lyle came to the teleportation array in the Dark Ten District, he was kneeling and touching the ground.Beatrice's bat wings gradually degenerated and retracted into the flesh, revealing the originally clean and flawless back. She took out a gauze and draped it over her shoulders, grabbed Lyle's shoulders and started teleporting.

"Teleport, dark area."

The dark area is the ghost area, where there is only one building, a huge gothic opera house.The front of the opera house is already filled with creatures from the chaotic side, although at first glance, there are more undead creatures like ghosts and liches.

Lyle gasped in place for two or three minutes before standing up again, looking at the crowd of "people" who were already queuing up, Lyle breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing I'm not late, Beatrice, when will Arianna's concert start?" ?”

"Eight hours later."

"Eight hours later? Then why did you send me here in such a hurry? We have enough time to find a place to land and walk over slowly."

Beatrice looked at Lyle with only a smile that you can do nothing to me.

Lyle took two deep breaths, "Where is Arianna?"

In a separate room backstage at the opera house, Lyle saw Arianna flipping through the score.She was wearing a gown as red and bright as a flame, and the veil covering her face was like thin smoke billowing on the flames.Just looking at her calm profile, Lyle felt as if the impetuousness in his heart had been washed away.

Lyle didn't make a sound, he paced gently behind her, looked at her from the mirror facing her, with his palms gently resting on her shoulder blades through the clothes.As reflected in the mirror, Arianna looked at the figure coming behind her from the world outside the mirror. She looked at the mirror, tilted her head slowly, and rested her head on Lyle's wrist.

"A surprise?" The voice without the body was not so vivid, but it was enough for Lyle to feel her joy.

"You are so beautiful." A simple exclamation is enough to express his sincerity.Arianna let out a hollow laugh under this compliment, she got up from the chair, turned her body and looked at the person in front of her.

"In the past I should have put on my disguise and responded to your compliments, but I'm sorry, Lyle. I need to maintain a lich state to find a feeling now. This kind of big singing needs me to take it seriously."

Feeling Arianna's fingers clasped with his own, Lyle smiled. "Of course, Anna, that's your singing. Of course I hope to hear your voice with all your strength. Anna, I want to participate in this concert."

Arianna hesitated for a moment, her voice was full of uneasiness and apprehension. "Of course... Lyle, I'd love to have you at my concert, but you might not be the one to listen to me, I mean, honey, you're a human being, and that's bad for you. And, today There is a difference between the late performance and the first time you attended, I think you should have seen it at the entrance."

"what did you see?"

Arianna turned her head to look at Beatrice leaning against the wall.

"We didn't go through the main entrance, we came in through a special passage."

Arianna looked at Lyle. "For tonight's concert, tickets will only be open to audiences above the five-lock level or the four-lock level with ethnic groups. If you are a living being, you need to bring your own resurrection device."

"Lyle, tonight's concert is a mourning song, and people will really die."
