Chapter 456 I Accept Your Heart

The bad feeling in the mage's heart reached its peak, and he finally realized that he had entered a trap.

His teammates were no longer reliable. He triggered a portal prop without hesitation and disappeared from the spot.

But the next moment, his figure returned to the same place again.

"I'm afraid you can't leave here without my permission."

Tang Sen said casually, raised his hand and patted the other party.

There was a crisp sound in the void, and the magic shield around the mage was shattered by brute force.

Then Tang Sen drew his sword lightly and pierced the opponent's chest.

"You -" the mage opened his mouth wide. He had no room to resist this series of actions. He did not expect that his death would come so easily.

No. Wait!

Why doesn't it hurt?

He lowered his head and saw that the long sword had clearly pierced his body.

"Don't worry, you're still useful." Tang Sen said calmly. He cut it with his sword blade, and a square crystal floated out. Inside the crystal was a beating heart.

Seeing this scene, Milos couldn't help but tremble all over, and couldn't help but touch his chest.

"I will accept your heart." Tang Sen raised his hand and held the heart.

"What did you do to me?" The mage opened his collar and saw that there was no scar on his chest.

But then, he felt a sharp pain. He raised his head with a distorted face and saw Tang Sen slowly squeezing his heart in his hands.

"It's obvious, my friend." Tang Sen relaxed his fingers and looked at the pale-faced mage who collapsed to the ground: "I control your life and death."

He stepped forward and looked down at the other person condescendingly: "Tell me, are you willing to give your life for the Serre Revival Society?"

The mage gritted his teeth, looked at Milos who had been standing next to him, and then lowered his head deeply toward Tang Sen.

"Your will is my will."

Mages who grow up in an environment like the Red Robe Mage do not have the quality of loyalty. From the moment they become a mage apprentice, all Sergei will have the trait of betrayal firmly engraved in their hearts.

In comparison, Milos seems more tough-minded. After all, he is a priest.

Tang Sen didn't want to waste time trying to plant the Mark of the Dark Lord on his opponent. He was just a seven-ring mage and had little use value.

"Now, let's change places and continue the topic we just talked about." Tang Sen put his heart away casually.

"Below the tavern just now is where Lyle and I rested and lurked." Milos said proactively: "The captain went to meet with the vice president and has not come back yet."

"Your captain? The nine-ring protective mage who once appeared in Neverwinter City?" Tang Sen asked.

"That's right." Milos nodded: "In addition, we have another team member who is a wanderer, but died in the conflict with Serge some time ago."

"Can a person born in Ser die? Didn't you transform him into an undead creature?" Tang Sen raised his eyebrows.

Milos hesitated for a moment and said: "His body was preempted by Serge."

Tang Sen didn't care about this and just asked: "Is your captain a lich?"

"Not yet." The answer this time was actually a mage named Lyle. Apparently he had accepted his situation and hoped to perform well in front of Tang Sen: "The captain doesn't want to wait until he is fully sure. Performing the Lich Transformation Ritual, his lifespan has not yet come to an end.”

He said quickly:

"You must know that even ordinary high-level spellcasters can also obtain the secret of transformation by proposing a deal to the devil."

"However, the weaker your magic power is and the less knowledge you have, which means the lower the success rate of the Lich Transformation Ceremony."

Tang Sen nodded. The reason why lichs are rare is also because of this. There are many spellcasters in the world who want to have eternal life to study the secrets of magic, and most of the ways they can choose are to transform into lichs. kind.

But most of the spellcasters failed. Although they were determined to give up their bodies and morals, contact the evil gods, kill intelligent creatures with cruel means, and sacrifice their souls, but after they drank the venom and sacrifice The moment they received the Transformation Potion of Blood, their bodies died, but their souls failed to enter the life box as they wished.

In the entire Faerûn, the place with the largest number of lichs is Ser. Because of this country's profound knowledge of necromancy spells and its admiration for the existence of undead creatures, it is very good at transforming lich rituals, even for nine rings. Most of the red-robed mages have successfully transformed themselves into lichs.

And they are often not forced to transform because their lifespan is approaching, but they do so actively in pursuit of more powerful power.

For example, the female disciple of Sazastan who appeared in Neverwinter was obviously very young before she became a lich.

Tang Sen currently has no way to completely kill a lich, unless his divination skills are powerful enough to divine the specific location of a lich's hidden phylactery. Obviously, this is unlikely.

The divination ability granted by the potion system has no effect on high-level spellcasters.

After hearing the news that the other party was not a lich, Tang Sen fell into deep thought.

Originally, his plan was just to inquire about information from the Ser Revival Society through Milos, but regarding the secrets of Sazastan, it might not be easy for Milos to gain access to them at his level.

If you can control a captain, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

The only thing you need to worry about is that the other party is a genuine nine-ring mage.

Even though Tang Sen can easily deal with a seventh-level mage, a ninth-level mage and a seventh-level mage are completely different. Seventh-level spells are just the threshold for high-level spells. Although some are magical, they are not so unsolvable. The Nine Ring Mage has begun to get closer to the secret of controlling magic.

Although in terms of combat, the Nine Ring Mage is weaker than the adult black dragon, and is far inferior to the Balor Balrog, but as a spell caster, the mage has many more methods.

It is also far more difficult to deal with than a simple monster.

This was also the reason why Tang Sen was not willing to face off against the Nine Ring Mage even if he had Smaug.

Of course, the mage's methods also depend on what magic he has prepared that day. As a nine-ring mage of the protection system, although the opponent can definitely not only use protection system spells, but among the daily spell slots, the nine-ring imprisonment The magic and the eight-ring anti-magic force field must be prepared.
