Chapter 2932 Ancient Tree and Lich (Ⅱ)
The ancient mythical tree examined this unexpected visitor vigilantly, and was ready to face a powerful enemy.
"Old Prophet, please don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions."
The mysterious purple-robed man spoke softly. He stopped across from the ancient tree and bowed while touching his chest, appearing very polite.
"Well... young man, is it convenient to reveal your identity?" Lao Bai asked cautiously.
"My name is Samael, from the Underdark."
The purple-robed man took off his hood with his backhand, revealing a skinny face that looked like a skeleton. Surrounding his mouth were six purple tentacles about five feet long. A layer of shimmering amber-like crystals made his head look like a dried octopus.
Lao Bai has lived for tens of thousands of years, so he can definitely be called well-informed. However, seeing the strange appearance of the purple-robed man, he still couldn't help trembling in surprise, and it took him a while to regain his composure.
"Are you... a lich transformed from a mind flayer?" Lao Bai asked tentatively.
The purple-robed monster nodded frankly: "In my hometown of Odis, people call me the Mind Flayer Lich."
"Hmm... Lich, I guess you are not welcome by your compatriots in your hometown."
"That's what you said, old prophet." Mind Flayer Lich Samael sighed, as if Lao Bai's words aroused unbearable thoughts, "It was because I was discriminated against in my hometown that I was forced to leave the underground. world, self-exile."
"Neither mind flayers nor liches are actually suitable for walking in the sun, let alone both."
"Fortunately, after so many years of experience, I gradually got used to the environment of the surface world, and I was lucky to make a few like-minded friends."
"Old Prophet, to be honest, I took the liberty to visit today because I was entrusted by a friend to dissuade you from going to Shizhu Town rashly."
"Oh? That friend of yours, isn't he a member of the conquest sect?" Lao Bai asked vigilantly.
The Heart Lich shook his head lightly, a smile appeared on his haggard and ferocious face... Although there was no malice, it could be called the most terrifying and eerie smile in the world.
"Old Prophet, my professor friend who does not want to be named is by no means your enemy, let alone a cultist, on the contrary, he asked me to prevent you from going to Shizhu Town, because he didn't want to watch you jump into the fire pit. "
"Lich, thank you for your kindness, but my brother's life is in danger, how can I ignore it."
Lao Bai sighed.
"Old Prophet, if you don't go to Shizhu Town, your brother will be safer. After all, he has a powerful helper by his side, but if you go, frankly speaking, you will hinder him instead."
Lao Bai thought for a while, and asked, "The powerful helper you are talking about is the little mage who captured the ice colossus?"
"Dr. Vader is a student of my professor friend, but according to the professor himself, Dr. Vader's strength has surpassed that of his teacher, and he is absolutely sure to single out the Ganthias Demon Tree." Samuel coughed twice, Pretentiously added: "Ahem...But if Dr. Vader has to be distracted to protect his companions, the result will be hard to say."
Lao Bai frowned and pondered for a few seconds, before slowly opening his mouth: "I already knew that Joan's child has great potential, and I don't doubt that he can fight against the Ganthias Demon Tree, but if the evil god Duolan Teresis also joins the battle, what will happen? It's troublesome."
"Old Prophet, just because there is an evil god watching in the dark, you can't even go to Stone Pillar Town, otherwise you will fall into the trap carefully laid by the 'Wood Destroyer', and you and your brothers and sisters will become Dolan Tracy Si seeks a sacrifice to the gods."
Samael seriously warned the ancient mythical tree: "It is to avoid this worst situation that I came here to persuade you to stay."
"If I don't go to Shizhu Town, who else can stop this disaster?" Lao Bai asked back, "Lich, will you help?"
"If necessary, my friends and I will intervene secretly. In fact, there is a high probability that it will not be our turn to intervene. Dr. Vader and His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East have already formulated a perfect strategy to deal with the evil god Teresis. There is no trouble that the two of them can't handle it with their hands, old prophet, just don't worry!" said the spiritual lich with a smile.
"Hmm...will even His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East intervene in this war?" Lao Bai's tree-patterned face stretched a little, "I don't need to worry about that, but then again, Lich, you and you Your friends are involved in this conflict, and why?"
"Haha...Old Prophet, if I say that it is to maintain world peace, you probably won't believe me, then I can only admit that I am bored and looking for something to entertain myself."
The Mind Flayer Lich raised his bony palm and caressed its tentacles. The fire of the soul shimmered in the sunken eye sockets, as if in thought.
"Old Prophet, you have lived for countless years and accumulated endless experience and wisdom. You must be able to understand the difficulties of the undead. , to feel the value of one's own existence, otherwise it would be better to lie in the grave and sleep until the end of the world, but in that case, there will be no difference between death and immortality."
"Hmm... Lich, unfortunately, I am not as wise as you imagined. I can feel your troubles, but I can't help you get rid of them. I can only wish you to find the road to relief soon."
"Old Prophet, thank you for your encouragement and blessing, there will be a period later."
Samael, the mind flayer lich, bowed deeply to the ancient mythical tree, and then disappeared in the teleportation array.
...
In the frost forest town of the polar region, in the forest where the third Ilminsur ancient tree took root, the rose field was as bright as fire.
Mr. Mage, dressed in a black robe, walked leisurely along the path of the flower field, and the roses of the magic palace flew up one after another, like a group of fiery red butterflies dancing around him.
Professor Moriarty stopped, stretched out his right hand, picked up a magic palace rose that fell on his fingertips, and sniffed the fragrance gently with his nose, an intoxicated expression appeared on his handsome face.
"Lich! Don't touch my rose!"
From the branch of the ancient tree behind him, the little girl shouted angrily.
Professor Moriarty ignored her scolding, still picked up the rose, and replied calmly: "These flowers are planted here by my student Joan Vida, not your roses."
"How do you know who planted the flowers?"
"Just smell it and you'll know."
"Crap!"
A little girl in a green dress, like a beautiful dryad, sits on a tree branch and puffs her cheeks angrily.
"Well, I'm not kidding anymore. It was actually the will of the roses' brood that told me. If you don't believe me, ask them yourself."
Professor Moriarty turned around and threw the magic palace rose in his hand to the little girl transformed by the spirit of the ancient mythical tree.
