1369 City of Annihilation 1

His hands slowly closed in front of him, and Raymond carefully collected the extremely light black air that was repelled and pushed away by his senses in the air.

A faint red light flashed in his pupils, and the chip began to analyze and identify the types of this extremely light black air.

Raymond noticed that Trini was still thinking from the corner of his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he asked. "Before the old city lord sent you to the high tower to study, he adopted more than 600 children, and when you returned, there were less than five left. Do you know where those children went?"

The thinking in his expression was replaced by hesitation. Obviously, Trini had not thought about this question before, so after a moment, he answered very uncertainly. "It is said that they were sent out to study..."

"How long has it been since the old city lord died?"

"Twenty-seven years..."

"How many of the children who were sent out to study have returned?"

"..."

The three questions before and after finally changed Trini's face, especially the last question. Although he did not answer it, the answer seemed obvious.

Raymond sighed and sat down again. After glancing at the maid holding a large bottle of aged rum, she immediately came to Raymond and filled his glass with a smile.

With a slender figure and beautiful face, the gentle expression of the young maid made Raymond's depressed mood unconsciously relieved.

Smiling and nodding to her, Raymond sipped the wine in the glass and sorted out the clues he had at present.

Because he didn't want to end his life when his life was about to end, the old city lord of Lanhai Castle had the idea of ​​transforming himself into a lich, and after decades of hard work and research, he really found a way.

But after the old city lord constructed the talisman array to transform himself into a lich, he soon found some fatal flaws in the talisman array. He was in a state of entanglement and hesitation for more than ten years, but during this period he accepted the advice of the Supreme Council and began to transform Lanhai Castle into a fortress, and strengthened the suppression and control of the surrounding monster tribes, and greatly improved the lives of most residents of Lanhai Castle. .

However, the old city lord, whose life was coming to an end, was obsessed with the pursuit of almost eternal life, and finally gave up the good intentions in his heart. He set out to find and raise many children with wizard potential, and let them start learning and improving their strength according to the established plan.

After more than ten years of preparation, the old city lord, who was unlucky in the end, did not transform himself into a lich after activating the life form transformation array. Instead, he was found by his guard leader after disappearing in the secret room for more than ten days, and according to his will, he entrusted Trini, who was studying far away in the tower, to be recalled and become the successor of Lanhai Castle.

The many clues collected were interrupted at this point. Why did Trini eventually become a lich, and why did he turn the vast majority of residents of Lanhai Castle into zombies? These all have a weird taste, which makes Raymond unable to merge the gentle and self-proclaimed noble lord Trini with the bloody and ruthless lich Trini!

Since he can't figure it out, there must be a problem that has not been discovered yet.

Thinking so, Raymond stopped thinking, and after waiting for a while, he finally got the chip's analysis of the extremely light black air that filled the city!

The air of annihilation!

It turned out to be the air of annihilation!

This is an energy that should exist in the plane where ghost-like life is!

This is a necessary energy that can breed ghost-like life forms!

This is an energy that has a warming effect on ghost-like creatures, but it is like a chronic poison for ordinary creatures!

Raymond, who suddenly became clear, finally understood why the confusion in his heart could not be explained before.

The entire Lanhai Castle is now filled with this kind of annihilation. All residents will be in a state of loss of vitality, reduced life span, declining physical fitness and long-term weakness!

But after looking up, Raymond saw the expression that Trini seemed to reveal inadvertently.

Trini stood sideways, looking at the direction of the main city of Lanhai Castle. Raymond, who looked in the direction of his gaze, soon found that in an open window on the right side of the middle of the main city, there was a woman looking at this side infatuatedly!

The chip brought the visual distance closer. Raymond saw a pale and haggard face with a little shyness, and the fingers that were pressed on the window frame for too long and turned white.

"She was a girl adopted by the old city lord after me. When I succeeded the position of city lord, she was still learning to walk..."

As if she had noticed Raymond's gaze, Trini's cheeks flushed with emotion and slight embarrassment in her tone. "It's a pity that I can't transform her into a lich, not to mention that she doesn't have the strength to keep her original mind after the transformation is completed..."

"Do you like her very much?"

The sudden privacy question made Trini's expression become confused. He thought for a long time before speaking uncertainly. "I, I don't know... But seeing her every day is when I am happier..."

"Have you never liked anyone in these years?"

"Uh... I should say no..." After saying this, Trini, who was extremely confused, fell into deep thought. After a long time, his eyes regained clarity, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly at himself. "Lord Raymond, given my current situation, any emotional exchange is meaningless. I will send her away before the plane channel is established..."

Hearing this, Raymond grasped the message contained in it very keenly and immediately interrupted him and asked. "Do you also know that the environment of Lanhai Castle is not suitable for ordinary people to survive?"

"Yes, the old city lord wants to turn this place into a city of annihilation. He has a relevant description in the secret room..."

When Trini said this, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and bowed to Raymond. "Lord Raymond. There are many difficult-to-recognize words and graphics on the walls of the secret room in the main city. Can I invite you to take a look?"

Raymond picked up the notebook on the table, turned to the parts he couldn't recognize, and nodded in agreement after a little hesitation.

Because there were many unrecognizable strange lines and figures in the notes left by the old city lord. Although the chip analyzed and speculated that this part contained a lot of text, it was impossible to translate because there was no similar text in the chip.

As Trini entered the main city of Lanhai Castle, Raymond saw a fortress that had been transformed and looked like a fortress. The placement of many war instruments made the main city even more fierce!

But as Raymond walked along, the residents who looked like zombies gradually decreased, and the garrison forces wearing the uniforms of the city guards but should be puppets gradually increased.

And those garrison wizards who hid their bodies in wide wizard robes like mummies also cast their cold and emotionless eyes.

"The garrison forces in the city became like this overnight, but they still have the habit of obeying orders and accepting commands after becoming undead creatures..."

There was an apology and a little doubt in his tone. Trini, who introduced the various facilities in the main city along the way, revealed a message.

That is, when the old city lord was in office, the Supreme Council allocated a large amount of war resources every year, requiring the city deep in the area occupied by the monsters to be fully renovated so that its defense level could reach the standard of withstanding long-term siege!

Raymond, who felt the faint pressure around him when he entered the main city, thought of a question in vain when he passed through two walls and entered the courtyard. He immediately stopped and asked Trini. "Since this place has been renovated and transformed for decades, is the inter-city teleportation array unable to be activated because of the interference of the monster coalition?"
