Starting From Zero

Chapter 193: The Lich’s Backer

In fact, the reason why we want him to agree to our request is to ask him to relax mentally, and it is at this moment of relaxation that the princess's mental induction is completed. Even the lich who specializes in the spiritual system can only reach the level of ordinary people after being suppressed by Ling, a retired goddess. In addition, as soon as he relaxed his spirit just now, he was immediately penetrated by the princess. However, the princess is also a master in this area. She knows that the soul of a lich cannot be randomly searched, so she did not immediately read all the memories of the lich. Instead, she began to secretly cooperate with Ling, but the lich He didn't know that someone had left a backdoor in his head.

The princess's backdoor will only detect the most active part of the lich's current thinking, which means that the princess will only feel what he is thinking. Although the effect is relatively poor, it is better than being safe and concealed, even if it is a lich. Can't find it either. What we need to do now is just to start a topic to make him think of information about his master.

"Is your master a god?" This is news that has been basically confirmed, so it is safer to start with this.

"Yes." The lich replied affirmatively.

The princess synchronously displayed all the relevant issues she saw next to me. While the lich was answering the question, he had already thought of a lot of things, and I saw some of the things I needed in them.

"Is your master a high-level succubus from Europe?"

Succubi are extremely rare even in Europe. Contrary to their well-known special abilities, the number of individuals of this race is absolutely shockingly low, so as soon as I mentioned this issue, the lich immediately brought it up Be wary. Before, he expected that we wouldn't be able to get too much information about his master just by answering questions like "yes" or "no", but he didn't expect that my question would be so targeted. He immediately realized something was wrong, just because of the princess's charm. 'Confusion' was so hidden that although he realized what went wrong, he couldn't find what went wrong.

"Please answer my question, is your master a high-level succubus from Europe?" I emphasized the question again, but this time it was to stimulate his nerves more. It seemed that as long as his mood swings increased, what he thought of would There will be more, and the information I can get from them will also increase.

After a slight hesitation, the lich nodded, but before he could say anything, I continued to ask: "She was driven out by Ditans?"

The Lich still nodded. This was not important information. Since he could guess that he was a succubus from Europe, it would not be surprising to think that he had a relationship with Ditans. After all, succubus is an advanced dark biological system in Europe. Zhongye is considered a high-end existence. If it hadn't been for the dispute with Ditans, he would never have been forced to leave Europe.

Compared to the lich who thought the news was no big deal, I read more while getting a positive reply.

"Has your master ever been to China?"

The lich nodded again. "But we didn't stay there long, China's local power was too strong!"

I nodded to confirm his answer, and then asked: "Is your master injured?"

The lich raised his head sharply when he heard this question. It could be seen from his expression that he was very nervous, but he had not made any extreme reaction yet. "Are you stealing my memory through some method?" The lich finally discovered the problem. Although he has not been able to find the power of the princess to penetrate into his mind, the lich can also 'manipulate' the soul after all. He is a master who knows this whole set of techniques very well. Looking at my questioning style and jumping question structure, he can easily guess what we are doing. In addition, I just asked the key question, so he suddenly changed. Got nervous.

After the guy's expression changed, the image transmitted to me by the princess also completely disappeared. Before I asked the princess, she consciously whispered to me: "He raised his mental barrier, and my mind theft was isolated."

"Is there no way to recover?"

"If I force a breakthrough, I will definitely be able to infiltrate, but it will also attract the opponent's attention. Although I can definitely fight him, but in the end I can only get some memory fragments, and then the lich will be turned into an idiot by my mental shock. .”

"I understand, don't move yet, I will handle it myself." There is only one Lich, and the key clues to the entire mission are on him. If he is fooled, the rest of the mission will be declared over. , so I can't take the risk. After thinking about the current situation, I said to the lich again: "Yes, you are very strong. You can even detect the mental induction released by my demon pet!"

"Your demon pet is much stronger than me. I didn't realize what he did to me. I just guessed that someone was reading my surface consciousness."

"I see." I nodded with a smile, and then continued: "You are so nervous about me finding out that your master is injured, are you worried that I will take the opportunity to hurt your master?" I grabbed it before the other person could say anything. Said in front of him: "But you don't have to worry, because we won't hurt her at all."

"Do you think I will believe you if you just say anything?"

"You don't have to believe me, you just need to know the laws of nature. Everyone does everything for a purpose or a reason. I have no grudge against your master, so why should I hurt her? I'm not People from the Temple of Light.”

"You are not from the Temple of Light?" The lich was obviously surprised, but then his expression changed very strangely, as if he was stuck in thinking about some complicated problem. It took about ten seconds for him to recover. . "Speaking of which, it's really hard to determine your camp. I saw a very powerful angel before you entered that stone, but you have so many dark creatures at your disposal. These two absolutely opposing camps It’s really strange that we can coexist peacefully here with you!”

I was also startled when I heard this lich's words. "What? You were watching before we entered the cave?"

"Yes. I saw one of your companions enter the cave first, and then her body was burned by the dark power. Then you summoned an angel to come out and help treat her injuries."

I frowned and asked, "That doesn't make sense! My ghost beetle followed your negative energy trajectory all the way here, but how could you... I understand!" Halfway through, I suddenly remembered. "I forgot that your master is a god-level succubus! I didn't expect that a god-level succubus can even hide energy fluctuations. It is indeed much stronger than ordinary succubi!"

"Of course, my master is the strongest succubus in the world. No succubus can surpass her existence."

"I believe this. After all, succubi are rare in the first place, and it is even more difficult for gods to appear! But since your master is so powerful, why aren't you willing to introduce him to us?" Seeing that the lich was interested To refuse, I quickly added fuel to the fire. "Yes, injuries will indeed affect the performance of one's strength, but your master is a succubus! She doesn't have to fight in person, so getting injured shouldn't be a big deal to her, right?"

Just like my magic pet is my main combat power, the succubus relies on the slaves it charms to help me fight. So from another perspective, the succubus can actually be regarded as an alternative. Tamer. Even if I am injured during the battle, my magic pet can still produce strong combat effectiveness, so unless I encounter special circumstances that restrict my magic pet from fighting, generally speaking, whether I am injured or participate in the battle is actually of little significance. Similar to me, when a succubus is injured, her combat effectiveness is reduced. Her charm does not depend on physical strength, so being injured has little impact on her combat effectiveness. Besides, once the succubus reaches the advanced stage, it can use the soul mark. As long as the creature marked with this mark can be completely controlled by the succubus, even if the succubus is about to die, it will not cause the creature with this mark to be killed. Rebellion.

The lich hesitated for a moment after hearing my words, but he quickly shook his head again. "No, I will never take you to see the master."

"Didn't I say it before? You have to have a motive to do things. We have no enmity with your master, so why bother her?"

"Enmity is not necessary to have bad intentions. Profit is also a good motive. For a beast tamer, the succubus itself is a resource. You have so many magic pets, and they are not simple. They came here because of your reputation and voluntarily surrendered to you, right? Don't think I'm an idiot, I know exactly what your plans are."

To be honest, I was really wronged this time. I never thought of catching that succubus as a magic pet before. After all, god-level powerful people are not that easy to deal with. Take Ditans as an example. Everyone knows this guy's strength. When we are not at odds with each other, we can still be polite. If we really make it clear that we are risking our lives, I will probably turn into ashes in a matter of minutes. The few god-level demon pets I have now, except for Ling, are either victims of conflict or unlucky ones. So far, none of them have been conquered by force with my true strength. Moreover, I also know myself. With my current strength, If you really want to conquer a god-level powerhouse, it's about the same as picking up a hundred yuan when you go out. Although it can't be said to be absolutely impossible, the hope is very slim.

I was thinking about how to convince the lich to take us to meet his master, when the succubus suddenly intervened and asked: "Isn't your master's injury on his face? "

"Huh?" The eyes of the lich and I suddenly focused on Ling's face, and then I showed an expression of realization, while the lich had a nervous look on his face. There was no need for him to answer now. Looking at his expression, Ling probably guessed it right. I asked why the succubus didn't dare to come out to see people even after being slightly injured! It turned out to be a bruise on the face, you can understand it now that you think about it.
