Chapter 544 Chapter 541 End of Life Plan
After drinking the skin capsule healing potion, his mouth and tongue suffered a lot, but the rest of his body recovered quickly. A few minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng felt that the blockage between his chest and abdomen had disappeared, and the confusion in his mind had also been dispelled. He slowly stood up, looked down at the blood on the ground, took out the body bag from his pocket, unfolded it, rubbed the soil with vomit with his hands, and put it in.
Why did he do this? Zhuang Xuteng thought about it afterwards and was a little confused. He didn't have mysophobia at ordinary times, and he would never clean up for people when he arrived at a place. As for avoiding the leakage of his biological information, it was even more impossible-he was in the home of the Lich Master, and it seemed that the company's people could not enter, and his biological information was not a secret to the Lich Master at all. What was there to hide?
Only the Lich Master looked at Zhuang Xuteng's actions thoughtfully. He began to wonder if his thoughts were felt by Zhuang Xuteng, and then subtly influenced his behavior. The Lich Master cherished the last corner of the world that belonged to him and didn't want it to be tainted by any foreign things. Zhuang Xuteng's footprints, body hair, and breath are all pollution to this corner, not to mention the vomit on the ground.
No expression does not mean no mood, and not mentioning this matter does not mean that he has not thought about it. When he saw Zhuang Xuteng's blank expression after cleaning, he was more certain of his thoughts: a part of himself must have been lost in Zhuang Xuteng's place, otherwise he would not have been able to come in and would not have taken the initiative to clean up.
What happened? What went wrong? It involves major issues such as identity authentication, soul unity, and uniqueness of spellcasting ability, especially "uniqueness of spellcasting ability". If there is a mistake, it is likely to cause a disaster.
The so-called "uniqueness of spellcasting ability" is the problem of who the spell listens to in large and super-large spells that require a long time to build, control and adjust. This kind of spell definitely requires the mobilization of a large amount of mana, but the mana cannot be isolated when casting. The mana of the spell cannot be casually mixed with the mana of the external environment. The "independence" and "unity of nature" of the mana used in the spell must be maintained.
However, Zhuang Xuteng was able to penetrate the Wall of Sighs, which means that some of his characteristics would make him a lich master. If it was just a simple "characteristic" mistake, it would be just a matter of identity verification, but Zhuang Xuteng was a disciple of the lich master and learned necromancy, so there are great similarities in terms of mana composition. The mana cast by Zhuang Xuteng has the possibility of connecting with the lich master's spells. Although this kind of thing rarely happens, probably one in ten thousand, but the thing that penetrated the Wall of Sighs happened, and the lich master had to be on guard.
"Zhuang Xuteng, come with me." The Lich Master said, "This is my last home, and it is also the burial place of my loved ones, just like a tomb. Every building is a tombstone, so I don't like anyone to touch or move here. Can you understand my feeling?"
"No problem, I understand." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Why don't you teleport me out, such as to a safe place next to the Salt Lake Shadow Realm Passage?"
"I still have things to do, I need to stay for a while, and I may need your help." The Lich Master said, "Come with me, I will arrange a place for you to live. It's my house, not someone else's tombstone, so you can live there."
Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, so the Lich Master took him to the town under the hill.
"It looks quite new here, and it doesn't look like it has been damaged by wind erosion." Zhuang Xuteng looked around, whether it was a wooden plaque or a metal chain, it looked like it was just made yesterday. "It's not damaged, it should be the effect of magic, right?"
"The spell of the building itself has no permanent effect. I added spells to preserve the style of this place." The Lich Master pointed to an inconspicuous wooden house on the side of the road and said, "That's my house."
Zhuang Xuteng was stunned and a little bit unbelievable. Compared with the surrounding buildings, the wooden house he saw was quite shabby. It was no more than one floor high and no more than ten meters wide. There was only one door and one window on the front. The flat roof had only a short chimney. There was no front or back yard, no horse stable or flower bed... Compared with the residence of the Lich Master, it was more like a warehouse. No, a warehouse doesn't need such a big window. A small grocery store? No, there is no second floor or attic, and there is no additional storage room. The grocery store is not easy to use.
Opening the door, Zhuang Xuteng was even more disappointed: a hard bed built with bricks and covered with wooden boards, a stove with coal, a set of desks, chairs and bookcases, a round iron table that served as a dining table and stove, plus a toilet and a basin filled with water. This is not a residence for the Lich Master. Even if it is for the gatekeeper, it is too shabby. Eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping are all done in the same room. Are you sure this is not a prison?
"The water in the basin can produce 50 liters a day. You can clean it yourself, wash your hands and face, and it will become clean after a minute and can be drunk directly. If you feel uncomfortable, you can also pour it into the pot and boil it. The cooking utensils are all on the lower layer of the bookcase. You can see them when you open the door." The Lich Master said: "There is a mithril spoon in the cooking utensils. The spoon head is like a bowl, and there are some hollow beads around it. It is easy to identify. You put it on the water. Under the stability of the hollow beads, it can float. After a few minutes, rice paste will appear in the spoon."
Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up and asked: "Is it delicious? How much can I eat?"
"Rice cereal can be produced up to ten times a day, which is enough for ten people. This refers to the amount of food for ordinary adults. A warrior like you consumes a lot of your body and can probably be counted as two or three people. If you are in the Ge Gong Dao, you have to press Counting four or five people. As for whether it tastes good, I have never eaten it. When this magic product was invented, I had already become a lich, with no tongue, esophagus, and stomach pouch, and a hole in my chin."
"I'll try it later and let you know how it tastes."
"It makes no sense. Your comments about food can only be based on what you have eaten, such as the meat of a certain thing or the aroma of a certain flour. The food in the two worlds is different, and I have never eaten you. Those foods, so your metaphor is meaningless to me. After you eat it, just tell me whether it tastes good and whether you will die from it.”
Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, and it was true that as Master Lich said, without a common cognitive basis, there would be no meaning of analogy. "Master, there is one thing I still don't understand: why is the accommodation they arranged for you so shabby?"
"Oh, this... it wasn't like this before." Master Lich said: "From the outside, this is just a small room, but when you open the door, it should be a palace inside. Using space magic, it was created up and down. There were many floors, and the creation expansion spell was used to add furniture and various facilities. The total area was 100,000 square meters, enough for five to six hundred people to live in. After the great destruction, the more I looked at this place, the more uncomfortable I became. The spell was removed, and all the mana was transferred to the protective barrier outside. After the spell was removed, only the things that were placed inside the house before the spell was cast: the inexhaustible water basin, the inexhaustible spoon, and the infinite fire charcoal stove."
"Wow, I really want to see the grand scene of 100,000 square meters." Zhuang Xuteng smiled, then pointed to the toilet and said, "Can this bucket hold unlimited amounts of feces?"
The Lich Master looked down and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I really forgot about this." He pointed with his hand, and a yellow-green ray hit the toilet bowl, and thousands of mysterious runes flashed for a moment. Then sink into the toilet bowl.
"Okay, feel free to use it. The contents inside will be automatically processed." Master Lich put away his fingers and said, "I'll probably use it for about ten days. Just stay here and don't go out. There are some in the town. Protective spells, wandering around is risky.”
"I'm not going out." Zhuang Xuteng stamped his feet on the ground and said, "I'm just going to stay here."
The Lich Master snapped his fingers and disappeared. Zhuang Xuteng guessed that he had gone to the Mage Tower. Next, the first thing Zhuang Xuteng had to do was to take off the remaining tattered protective clothing, and then find the "hungry spoon" from the cabinet.
"What kind of silver is mithril? It's so light in your hand, it feels like it's made of paper." Except for a circle of hollow beads that make it balance and float, the spoon is ordinary and without decoration, which exhausts the possibilities of Kaho. Even with the observation ability of the eyes, I can't see things like spell runes.
Zhuang Xuteng was dubious about the magic of conjuring food out of thin air. He carefully placed the spoon flat in a basin of fresh water. As expected, the spoon floated stably on the water on its own. After a while, rice paste began to appear at the bottom of the spoon. Not only was it steaming, but it also accumulated more and more. Soon it filled more than half of the spoon, and then stopped growing. Zhuang Xuteng found a rice bowl and poured out the rice cereal, which was just a small bowl. It’s amazing that the inner surface of the spoon is clean, leaving no residue, and there are no suspicious holes where rice paste can form.
The rice cereal in this world does not taste the same as the rice cereal in Zhuang Xuteng’s place. He could taste the sweetness of the starch, and the rest was the plant flavor. It felt sweeter and more delicious than the flour paste or instant porridge he had eaten. After taking a few bites, he discovered the special features of rice cereal: it has high calories and a strong sense of satiety caused by nutrients. Its ability in this regard is comparable to portable foods such as compressed energy bars.
"What a good thing! It would be great if I could take it away." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and started thinking. "Master Lich cherishes the last pure land in the world very much. He treasures his friends' things very much and always uses spells to keep them from damage. However, the things in this house belong to him, not his friends. Maybe he is willing to give them away Give me?"
Next he tried the basin and the stove. The fruits in the water basin can be cleaned by themselves and can always be replenished to the original position. It seems that the 50 liters is probably no problem. As long as the charcoal fire is lit in the stove, there is no need to add anything to it. The charcoal does not decrease, and there is no charcoal residue falling. It is just that the firepower is not strong, and it can barely cook things.
There was an eerie and terrifying atmosphere in the commode. It was so dark inside that you couldn't see the bottom. It seemed to lead to a bottomless abyss. To be honest, Zhuang Xuteng didn't want to sit on it at all. He couldn't get rid of a nightmare in his mind, that is, a terrible creature crawled out of the toilet and attacked him. While beating him, he yelled: "You are the one who pooped on my head?! "
"Eat less, poop less, and persist for these ten days." Zhuang Xuteng set a difficult goal for himself.
Everything in the house was magical, and he would take it all away if possible, except the commode.
"As long as things are taken out, they will be destroyed by the shadow energy from outside, and they will not be able to persist in the shadow realm passage. Therefore, how to prevent things from contacting the external environment is the key. They use more or less mana to build things. From the ruins outside, Judging from the situation, I'm afraid nothing here can be used as a container." Zhuang Xuteng saw the broken protective clothing on the ground, and then slapped his head: "Yes, isn't this ready-made? Isn't the company's protective clothing used to isolate the outside environment? ?"
The stove definitely won't fit into the protective suit, but there might be hope for the basin, and Zhuang Xuteng's favorite rice spoon will definitely be fine! Now there are two key issues left: where to get another set of clothes, and ask the Lich Master to give these things to me.
Protective suits, everyone in the company is wearing them. The pioneer research team is too strong, and Zhuang Xuteng doesn't want to meet them again. Relatively speaking, the base of mining may be easier to break through, and there must be spare protective suits inside. Zhuang Xuteng sat down and thought about this problem quietly.
At the same time, the Lich Master began to arrange the magic circle in the magic laboratory of the Mage Tower. Countless mysterious runes flew out of his skull and floated to the designated position in the air. This is the prototype of the magic circle. After it is built, it will be filled with corresponding magic materials to form the final magic circle. The magic circle he is constructing is called the "Soul Repair Magic Circle". Although its repair function is not necessarily needed, it originally has excellent soul damage detection. If the "uniqueness of spellcasting ability" is affected, it will definitely affect the health and integrity of the soul at the same time. Use this spell to test, if there is a problem, solve it at the same time.
He suspected that the accident that blew him into pieces also affected his soul. Part of it was absorbed by Zhuang Xuteng, and the rest might be absorbed by other people who were present at the time. But it doesn't matter, the loss can be restored through treatment, which is just a matter of spending some time and consuming some spell materials.
Spell materials...
The lich master stopped his work, and all the mysterious runes that were already in the air disappeared instantly. These runes are just mana, and the lich master has plenty of them. He can just use them again. He has more important things to worry about.
Opening the storage room, most of the spell materials have been consumed in various experiments in the past thousand years, and the warehouse is empty. The materials for building the soul repair array are definitely enough, more than enough, but the lich master is worried that if he sets up the array again, it may affect the array that destroys the "company world".
He hesitated for a while, then floated to the window of the wizard tower and looked outside. If he could destroy the world over there and use it to pull back all the gods who have ascended to kill them, his wish would be fulfilled. He expected that after fulfilling his wish this time, he would no longer have new desires, and his fate of becoming a skeleton was inevitable. Study spells? Learn new knowledge? Who should he study and explain to? The Lich Master calmly calculated his fate: destroying the world, destroying himself, and dying.
"If it succeeds, there will be no meaning here; if it fails, there will be no meaning here either." The Lich Master muttered to himself, and then made a decision: "If the spell materials are not enough, then tear down the whole town and use the materials of mana bricks. If it is still not enough, then tear down the defensive array, the magic tower, and even myself. Well, I think this must be enough."
So, he turned around and continued to cast spells. One by one, the mysterious runes flew out, as steady and precise as before.
