Chapter 1637 Life Box


Chapter 1637 Life Box

The value of magic items is very high. It should be said that anything related to magic is not cheap.

As the level increases, the value of magic items will increase exponentially.

A simple enchanted elite-level long sword can be purchased for less than 10 gold coins, while the price of an excellent-level enchanted long sword usually soars eight times.

If it's a perfect grade, it's more than ten times as high as an excellent grade, and most of the time it's priceless.

This is still a magic item that can be bought or customized. Legendary and epic magic items cannot be measured by money and cannot be bought at all.

A legendary star armor, even if it is considered a national treasure, it would be considered an insignificant thing.

However, Li Chengqi said that this thing was sealed and could not be used temporarily.

It may be that the Lich was afraid that someone would find traces of Star Genjia through magic, so he sealed it and evaded detection.

It is true that Li Chengqi can break the seal easily, but the prerequisite for him to break the seal is that the seal is completely destroyed, and he uses divine power to force it.

If you use the same operation on the Star Armor, even the legendary magic item will probably be irreversibly damaged.

So this thing can only be installed first, and later Aldai will slowly study how to break the curse.

This adventure is no longer as simple as being fruitful. For the average adventurer, it means that they have earned ten lifetimes worth of money for food, drink, and fun. They even have to spend these ten lifetimes, otherwise they won't be able to spend it all.

If Nemea knew how much the Star Genjia was worth, she would probably have a heart attack on the spot. She was so excited just now because she found a box of magic gems.

But after all, they were looking for the Lich's Life Box, so they couldn't forget this.

Opening the last box, this time the contents seemed ordinary, just a box of fragments of pearls and gems mixed together.

Although this thing is valuable, compared with the things just now, it feels like I'm too lazy to pick it up if it's left on the ground.

But she couldn't speak too early. Aldai dumped the contents of the box on the ground. With the pearls rolling all over the floor, an amethyst box rolled out.

Detection magic showed that it was just an ordinary box. Although the workmanship was relatively fine, it was still a pretty good-looking handicraft.

But Zola was stunned for a moment almost at the same time, and then said:

"Your Majesty told me that this box is the lich's phylactery."

Nemea was surprised and said:

"Is it that simple?"

A phylactery does not have to be a box. When a lich chooses a phylactery, there are many kinds.

To put it simply, the ritual of transforming a lich is to prepare the phylactery in advance, and then drink the prepared poison to kill yourself in an instant. After that, the soul will be transferred to the phylactery according to the effect of the spell.

As for the most critical choice of phylactery, there are no special requirements. Some lichs will use the skulls of their enemies to make phylacteries, and some will just use a palm-sized wooden box, which is not very particular.

Some lichs even split their phylacteries into hundreds of pieces, which is more cruel than Voldemort's splitting into seven, just to prevent themselves from being killed.

Of course, the illithid lich is not that awesome yet. Although it has covered a large number of spells on the phylactery, making it just an amethyst box no matter how you probe it, there is nothing to hide from the eyes of God.

Aldai opened the box with a mage's hand. It was empty, and there were no magic circles or runes that could be seen at a glance. If Li Chengqi hadn't clearly told them that this was a phylactery, it would have been regarded as a phylactery. Ordinary loot.

The next step is to destroy the phylactery, which is actually not difficult.

The Lich's phylactery is relatively strong and won't break if dropped on the ground, but it only needs to be placed on the forging table and hit hard with a hammer.

This thing is going to die.

However, Aldai looked at it carefully and said:

"Can I study it first?"

Damn this fucking desire for research.

Aldai plans to turn herself into a lich in the future. She has even made preparations for this in the first few years. Now there is a ready-made example in front of her for reference. No wonder she wants to study it. "Don't worry, I will seal it with magic. When I get back, I will copy its data and destroy it immediately."

What you say is really not very reassuring...

"Then it's settled. When I get back and get the tools, it only takes two hours, no, one hour is enough."

Before Li Chengqi said anything, Aldai quickly took out a few curse belts and tied them up tightly.

The phylactery wouldn't fit in the magic pouch, so Aldee stuffed it into the breast pocket of her wizard's robe.

"The matter is settled, let's go out now."

Aldai is now eager to return home and has something to study.

Zola and Nemea looked at each other, always feeling that Aldai had this character and would play tricks, but considering that Li Chengqi was watching, it should, probably, maybe...

No problem?

The two followed Aldai, and the three of them walked quickly towards the door.

But almost the moment Aldai stepped through the door, the three of them suddenly heard a loud, vague boom, accompanied by violent vibrations.

This forced the three of them to crouch on the ground, and even Nemea, who had the best balance, could not stand up at all.

"What happened?"

"It sounded like something exploded!"

The shaking lasted for about three or four seconds, then slowly decreased in amplitude and tended to stop.

The three of them were wondering what was going on, and then heard another buzzing sound.

Looking back, I saw a portal with a burning flame-like outer ring opened in front of the two illithid statues deep in the room.

Two tall, grotesque creatures stepped out.

The creature has a face that looks like that of a wild boar, but it walks upright and has a bloated, fat body covered in brown pig hair.

But there are two black ones stuck on the back of this thing, which look like crow's wings, but the size of the wings is too small and does not match its fat body, making it look a bit ridiculous.

It is about seven meters tall and can reach the ten-meter-high ceiling with just one hand. It is a large monster.

When this monster appeared, it was also accompanied by a clear stench, like the smell of rotten eggs.

It smells like sulfur.

Ao Dai suddenly shuddered:

"That's the soul-judgement demon, hurry up!"

Zola had already put on a fighting stance, and upon hearing this, the three of them quickly ran away from the door.

Almost at the same time, bright colorful spiritual light shot out from the door and hit the wall facing the door.

Even though the sound and light effects are quite nice, the name of this thing is ‘Evil Light Strike’, which is the magic-like ability of the Soul Judger Demon.

The evil light attack will center on the soul-striking demon and spread to the surroundings. All non-demon creatures hit will be affected.

If the save fails, you will immediately fall into a coma.

As for how long the coma lasts...

It doesn't matter, he will be dead if he falls into a coma anyway.
