Chapter 449: Dark Red Chain, Mysterious Opportunity
"Of course." The skeleton Mage said excitedly, "We need to absorb a batch of fresh blood every once in a while, otherwise we will die.
The blood of the Lich Mage contains strong death and curse, which can make us transform quickly.
If you kill the Lich Mage, I'll give you half the reward! "
"Oh?" Li Ang showed an expression of interest, "What reward?"
Skeleton Mage raised his arms and fiddled with his waist.
Click!
He pulled open a dark red chain, and dragged out a fist-sized Black ball from inside.
The black ball is oval in shape, as if it is made of crystal, emitting a faint light, and there seems to be faint arc fluctuations inside.
Li Ang stared at the black ball, his pupils shrank suddenly, "Thunder crystal?!"
"That's right."
Skeleton Mage shook the ball, and said in a flat tone: "This is the thunder crystal solidified from the lich's corpse.
Although it contains very little energy, it is the purest, stable, hardest elemental crystal that can enhance our Magic power.
If you can help me complete my transformation, all these thunder crystals will belong to you.
If not, I will leave as soon as possible and reshape my physical body.
After all, staying here, I will become weaker and weaker, and even more fragile. "
Li Ang was silent.
Skeleton Mage continued to persuade: "We are all ancient beings in the abyss, and we have lived for an unknown number of Thousand Years.
Your human body cannot carry our soul at all.
What's more, before the doomsday catastrophe, you didn't even have the foundation for cultivation.
In this era, your Martial Skill and Cultivation Technique are incomplete, far from matching your strength.
As long as we merge, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and you can even be promoted to legend. "
Li Ang narrowed his eyes and looked at the skeleton Mage, "It sounds very tempting."
Skeleton Mage cheered up and asked eagerly, "You agreed?"
"No no no."
Li Ang waved his hand, and said calmly, "Is the lich Mage you mentioned just now called Francis Evanson?"
"Hey, you know him?"
The skeleton Mage was stunned, "You two are the same guy?"
"Not only acquaintance, but also hatred."
Li Ang shrugged, "Francis, that guy almost killed me."
The will-o'-the-wisps in Mage's eye sockets lingered endlessly, and he hesitated, "But he is my master."
"Uh..." Li Ang froze suddenly, "What?!
Lich Mage is your master? "
A picture emerged in his mind——
A white-haired old man, covered in bandages, was lying on a hospital bed.
The old man's cheeks were sunken, his lips were bruised, his skin was shriveled like dead branches, and his eyes were closed.
There is an arrow stuck in its chest, piercing through the heart.
This is Mage, a lich on the verge of death.
And at this moment, beside this tragic picture, stood a high rank lich with a silver body and a slender skeleton!
Skeleton Mage explained: "Francis is a wandering wizard who was picked up by me more than a hundred years ago.
I raised him and gave him life so that he could live on.
It's a pity that Francis' aptitude is too dull, no matter how you teach him, it won't help. "
"I see."
Li Ang suddenly realized, no wonder the skeleton Mage would find him.
"Since he is your master, I will definitely not be able to take away his things." Li Ang spread his palms and said helplessly.
The skeleton Mage shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. As long as you are willing to retrieve his body for me, I will give you the remaining Thunder Crystals!"
"Really?"
Li Ang's eyes lit up, "Then what are you going to exchange?"
Skeleton Mage grinned widely, showing sharp teeth, "You can offer any reward, and I will accept it.
But in the meantime, I want to talk to you about a deal, about the 'Thunder Crystal' deal. "
"Huh?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows.
"Thunder crystals have a very important effect on the Lich King." The skeleton Mage pointed to a certain position on the wall outside the ward. "The core mechanism of this building is arranged by the Lich King himself."
"The core mechanism?" Li Ang looked in the direction pointed by the skeleton Mage, and saw many grooves and lines on the wall, faintly flashing the obscure magic rune, "What is this?"
"This is the 'guiding magic circle', which can speed up the operation of magic." The skeleton Mage explained: "As long as this facility is activated, the air circulation rate inside and outside the entire building will be greatly improved.
These magical lines, like the blood vessels and meridians of the Lich Mage, are the precious wealth left by the Lich King to the Lich. "
"I see."
Li Ang nodded thoughtfully, and then said puzzled: "But I remember that this building was built within three days after the catastrophe broke out.
Logically speaking, it should have stopped working, or damaged? "
"Yes, when the catastrophe broke out, I felt that there was something wrong with the core mechanism of this magical building.
I tried to check the whole building but couldn't figure it out. Skeleton Mage sighed and said: "I have no choice but to give up here, leave here, and look for a more suitable place to live."
Not long after, I found an abandoned town in the swampy area to the south.
On the square in the center of the town, I found the set of 'guiding magic circle'.
I studied it carefully and confirmed that this guiding magic circle was indeed out of control.
I spent several years and tried various methods, but I still couldn't save the operation of the magic circle.
In desperation, I decided to disassemble it and throw it away.
But when it was about to be disassembled, I suddenly felt an inexplicable danger.
So, I fled in a hurry and came to this desert to hide and heal my wounds.
Who knew that my luck was so bad that I met you...
wait, are you...
You are a Knight Templar!
The skeleton Mage stared at Li Ang with wide eyes, "How did you get in here?"
Li Ang touched his nose, "Should I ask you this?"
"This is the secret stronghold I created. No one knows about it. How did you find it?" Skeleton Mage frowned.
Li Ang smiled softly and stretched out his left arm, "See clearly, this is my badge."
On the wrist of the right hand, there is a Mithril Medal of Silver White, engraved with an intricate and ornate rune.
"Mithril Medal?" The skeleton Mage was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Are you... a member of the Knights Templar?!"
"Let me introduce formally. I am Li Ang. Buffett, a second-level combat knight of the Knights Templar." Li Ang proudly puffed out his chest.
Skeleton Mage's eyes rolled slowly, as if he was judging the truth.
Li Ang raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can search your soul to see if you can read my memory."
"No no no, no need."
Skeleton Mage waved his skinny palm in panic, and said quickly, "I believe in you, I really believe in you."
Li Ang chuckled, "Then you are not going to tell me about Francis?"
