Chapter 1634 Okay
Curiosity is one of the driving forces of human progress, but curiosity actually has a negative meaning.
For example, it is closely related to seeking death...
Aldai raised her feet and walked towards the crystal statue of the illithid. Seeing this, Zola quickly said:
"Your Majesty asked us to go back as soon as we get the things."
"Don't worry, I haven't taken the treasure this guy left yet."
Upon hearing that there was a treasure, Nemea also became excited:
"Where is it? We didn't see any side roads along the way?"
"Maybe it's a hidden secret door, but there must be one."
Aldai pointed to the crystal statue of the illithid and said:
"That's either a statue or the illithid himself."
“.…..”
"Don't be afraid, it is not dangerous now."
"I just saw complex ancient elven language on the ceiling of the secret room. Although it is difficult for me to identify what is written on it, it should be a spell effect similar to runes."
"What's the magic effect?"
"Crystal Magic."
Aldai said:
"This is a spell that was listed as taboo in the ancient elves, but no matter how taboo it is, it is still recorded and passed down. It will transform the hit target into the appearance of the crystal. Considering that the builder of this underground palace It’s an elf mage, which makes sense.”
"But isn't the lich highly resistant to magic?"
In fact, it is almost impossible for most spells in the world to have an effect on an illithid lich above level 70.
In particular, the builder of the underground palace is not very powerful. After all, if he is really good, he will not be stabbed to death in the underground palace after it is completed.
"It's because it's so powerful that crystal magic is easy to use."
Crystal magic is a very special spell. Generally speaking, when the caster casts a spell on the recipient, whether it takes effect is closely related to the level difference between the two parties, especially this kind of spell that is similar to an abnormal state.
If the caster's level is higher than that of the recipient, the success rate will naturally be higher, and vice versa.
Judging from the level of the underground palace builder, it would be an overestimation to say that he is level 40, while the illithid lich is likely to be level 70 or above.
In this case, no matter whether it is a spell trap, a curse, or a spell cast close to the face, it will have no effect.
Crystal magic is just the opposite.
Whether this thing is effective has nothing to do with the level difference between the caster and the recipient, but depends on the amount of magic power the recipient possesses.
The more magic power, the higher the probability of effectiveness.
The illithid lich, who has both spiritual and spiritual skills, has a level of over 70, and his magic power cannot be small, so as long as he is hit by crystal magic, he will definitely die.
The reason why this thing is classified as a forbidden technique is that all the ancient elves are excellent mages. It can be said that using this technique to defeat the ancient elves is more effective than others.
On the other hand, if you use this thing to fight warriors, or directly use it to deal with gods, the effect will be lackluster, or even useless.
"Subia's family secret room can be hidden from ordinary adventurers, but it can never be hidden from the illithid lich. It must have discovered the secret room we just entered, but it cannot be opened normally without the blood of the royal family. But this guy is here When trying to crack it with force, the lich triggered a spell trap, but he didn't know that it was crystal magic. By the time it was hit, it was already too late."
"So the illithid lich is dead?" Zola interjected:
"The lich shouldn't die that easily."
Aldai shook her head:
"It is difficult to determine whether it is dead or not. Generally speaking, as long as the phylactery of a lich is not damaged, the body can be reborn within a week. But the difference between crystal magic and petrification magic is that crystal magic will trap the soul together."
Petrification magic is a spell that can turn organic matter into inorganic stone. In the classification of the school of change, it seems that one turns into stone and the other turns into crystal. But in fact, the principles are completely different.
Crystal magic does not have a spell to remove the curse, while petrification magic can use 'remove curse' or 'unpetrify' to remove the spell.
Moreover, the souls of people hit by crystal magic will be sealed in the crystal forever.
This is too restrained for the Lich.
Liches can be reborn because when they are killed, their souls return to their phylacteries from their bodies, waiting to be reborn.
And the crystal magic trapped its soul, which naturally equaled a bug.
"As long as we don't attack the crystal statue with spell effects such as dispel magic, its soul will always be trapped inside. And if we can find its phylactery and destroy it, then the soul in the statue will have nowhere to go. Can go to the Holy Land of Death”
"But the lich's phylactery is hard to find, isn't it?"
"It's hard to find. Liches will cover their phylacteries with a large number of defensive detection spells. Even the gods have difficulty finding a lich's phylactery by induction or spells."
Zola was about to say that if that's the case, let's leave quickly, but Aldai immediately said:
"But Aaron is not accepted by the illithid society, and whether he is a lich or an illithid, he is usually not accepted by normal society. This Aaron must be a refugee who fled to our plane. In this case , I am sure that its life box is definitely in this underground palace, and you can definitely find it if you search carefully..."
She pointed to the top of her head:
"The reason why the Lich's phylactery is difficult to find is that it can resist detection, but no matter what spell effect it is, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of God."
This is true. As long as the life box appears on the monitor screen, Li Chengqi can recognize it no matter what it is disguised as.
"And if you think about it, if an illithid lich with a level of over 70 wreaks havoc in our plane, the consequences would be disastrous. It is hiding underground just because it doesn't know the level of force in our plane. , I am afraid that I will be surrounded and beaten by other people with the level of destroying the country. If I let it know, I can only rely on you to go down to earth.”
As the saying goes, nip in the bud, the illithid lich is too powerful, and there is almost no one on Viola's side who can exceed level 50, let alone one who can confront the Destroyed Nation head-on.
This reason convinced Zola and Li Chengqi who were watching this scene.
Indeed, if left alone, if the crystal statue breaks and the lich's soul escapes, it can be reborn.
"There must be huge gold and silver treasures in Subia's family secret room, and these treasures are missing now. They must have been collected by the illithid lich. Although the crystallization magic caused all the equipment on its body to turn into crystal, if The treasure would definitely not be found in a dimensional pocket or something like that, but any treasure left by a level 70 or above person would be worth a lot of money.”
These words also convinced Nemea.
As an adventurer who has been afraid of poverty since childhood, no righteousness is as attractive as making money.
"Then where should we start?"
"There must be a secret door nearby, but it is hidden by a spell. With my ability, it would be very difficult to destroy the hidden spell of the illithid lich head-on, but your Majesty must have seen it."
Li Chengqi, who looked at the three people in front of the monitor, sighed.
OK.
