Chapter 292 Eternal Love
The central area of the distant sea swamp.
Although this wetland swamp does not have the tall primeval forest like the Hurek Forest, there are still low trees growing everywhere on the ground.
Deep in the ruins of the glass palace left by the ancient star elves.
After Balerius swung his sword to lift the cloak of the corpse, he saw clearly the true face of the 'Death Screamer' in front of him.
This was a 'Death Screamer' whose strength reached the legendary realm they encountered while exploring the ruins. The instantaneous "Banshee's Wail" forced them to only parry.
The moment he lifted up his cloak, the old swordmaster Balerius was stunned.
Although the ‘Death Screamer’ is also a dead person, there is still a difference between the two.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Balerius was the body of an elf girl.
Looking from the appearance, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looks pretty and cute. It seems that it is due to long-term malnutrition. The elf girl has a sallow face and thin skin, and her complexion is livid and black. She seems to have been dead for a long time. .
But the strange thing is that she did not rot, but still kept her body intact.
At this time, everyone gathered around and were startled when they saw the girl in front of them.
Following Balerius to the depths of the swamp to explore the ruins of the ancient city, in addition to Salo and the tiefling warlocks, there was also Archbishop Tysonde of the Temple of Knowledge.
Originally, he planned to find a wizard, but although there were many spellcasters in Mokou Town, the only ones with strength above level 4 paragon were the moon elf mage who was busy establishing the Arcane Academy in the demiplane. Ruyin.
In desperation, he could only go to the distant sea swamp with four people.
Death screamers from the depths of the far-sea swamps frequently appear within the territory, which has seriously threatened the security of the territory.
Of course he knew that the only way to solve the problem once and for all was to find the source of the death screamers.
"Is this... a lich?" Dragon Warlock Salo looked at the body of the elf girl and expressed his guess in an uncertain tone.
It’s no wonder that he has such a guess. After all, the death screamers they encountered in the ancient city ruins have no flesh and blood. Most of them are skin and bones, except for existences like abhorrent zombies. Other than that, they are basically skeletons.
The lich is naturally no exception. It can even be said that as a condensed body of magic power, the lich itself has completely eliminated the physical body.
But now this 'lich' looks like an ordinary elf girl except for her thin face and yellowish flesh.
"Did we kill a living person?" Archbishop Tysonde, the God of Knowledge, asked slightly uneasily.
"No, she died long ago. What we are fighting is just her corpse."
A tiefling warlock in a dark red robe walked to the corpse In front, the thick dark red tail rustled in the slight swing.
He lowered his head with obsidian-like ram's horns, stretched out his right hand with sharp claws, and tore open the clothes on the elf girl's chest.
This action of the warlock made Balerius and Tysonde frown.
But before he could say anything, his eyes widened and he was stunned by what he saw.
A piece of ice blue crystal is inlaid in the center of the elf girl's chest. Around the blue crystal, something like a blood vine is deeply rooted in her skin and spreading in all directions. Drive away.
But now, this ice-blue crystal is dim, like a gray, inconspicuous stone.
"What a pity." The tiefling warlock knelt down, stretched out his finger and poked the elf girl's stiff cheek, then stood up and said regretfully:
"Ah, what a pity. It's already frozen to the bone. Salo, do you want me to heat it up for you and then give it a try while it's still hot?"
"Are you kidding? You think I'm like that? "The handsome Salo put the warhammer on his shoulder dissatisfied, glanced at him, and said softly: "At least wash it and disinfect it before talking."
"Better. You have thought carefully."
The magician smiled, two sharp fangs showing at the corners of his mouth, then his dark red face straightened and said:
"Okay, nonsense. So far, this should be the 'Puppet Corpse Witch', which is a technique developed by the Lich. To put it simply, the Lich connects his soul with the corpse of the person being casted through the 'Life Stone', and then Manipulated like a puppet."
"But it's not uncommon if it's just like this. There are countless evil spells used by undead creatures. What's special about 'puppet corpse witches' is that they can not only act as 'spies' for the lich, but can even Inheriting and using all the power of the Lich in a short period of time is almost equivalent to a clone of the Lich, with similar strength to the main body, but when the clone is destroyed, the main body will not suffer any damage because the Lich will do this. The damage is entirely left to the person being cast."
"It's really cruel." Upon hearing this, Pastor Tysonde frowned in disgust and looked at the corpse in front of him.
“Why do those evil undead creatures use this method?”
“Even undead creatures are not really immortal, even those with phylacteries like lichs. "
The magician spread his hands and said:
"Indeed, creatures like vampires and lichs will be resurrected quickly if their main bodies are not defeated, but resurrection requires a process after all, and no matter what, they themselves will be severely injured in the previous battles. , this kind of trauma acts on the soul level and cannot be eliminated for a while, and we are not the only enemies of the undead. I think you are also very clear, old priest, the struggle for power within the undead has always been serious. If any lich accidentally gets killed by us, maybe by the time he uses the power of his phylactery to resurrect, his few acres of land will have already changed hands, so they created the 'Puppet Corpse Witch' . They will choose those victims whose soul fluctuations are similar to their own as vessels, and engrave life stones on their bodies. In this way, these victims are equivalent to a clone of the Lich, and the Lich can manipulate them to exert themselves. power, and even if it encounters attacks and injuries..."
Speaking of this, the magician made a gesture, "...just like just now, he can make the person who was cast the The soul acts as a shield to block our attacks, and he can return to his own body leisurely. In this way, he only sacrifices a puppet at most, but he can ensure that his strength will not be damaged. For undead creatures, this is a good deal."
"As far as I know," Balerius nodded thoughtfully and expressed his doubts, "Whether it is a lich. , or necromancers, they never care about the appearance of puppets and undead creatures, and the puppet in front of them not only retains the appearance of life, but also..."
"You guessed it right" Warlock. Interrupting his words, he said slowly: "The lich hiding in the dark is a believer of the immortal beauty Ye Yao."
"I don't think this is the time to discuss who the lich's followers are. "Saluo looked around worriedly, "You just said that this puppet is a clone of the Lich. Does this mean..."
"Boom!"
As if in response to Salo's words, the dull sound suddenly echoed in the silent ruins of the city, making it extremely loud.
After hearing this voice, Balerius quickly clenched the shadow lightsaber in his hand and looked around vigilantly. Priest Tysonde and Salo were waiting intently for the enemy's arrival.
Only the tiefling warlock still looked indifferent, wagging his tail leisurely and looking ahead with narrowed eyes.
A huge black shadow slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"This is..."
Looking at the terrifying monster in front of him, even Balerius couldn't help but gasp.
It was a fat monster over five meters tall, condensed from countless corpses.
It has two ugly, disgusting heads that look like they have been burned by fire, with only flesh and no skin.
As the monster turns its head, you can even see the muscles on its face contracting with the movement.
Four thick, huge arms held heavy boning knives. Countless fishy, dark green liquid dripped from its body, exuding a stench that even made people dizzy.
“Here, what the hell is this?” Salo looked at the magician.
"This is the Necromancer, a gadget of the Lich. It seems that we are getting closer to the goal." The Warlock said, walked forward, raised his head, and stared at the sight. monster.
At this moment, the undead guard has also discovered everyone. It turned its head and roared angrily. In Elvish language full of mucus, it roared:
"You shouldn't come here, don't you?" Riel's secret belongs to him! Now, you must die!"
Then, it slowly walked towards everyone, leaving a series of disgusting traces on the ground.
The movements of the undead guards were not fast, and their pace was slow and faltering, but this did not make Balerius relax his vigilance.
He knew very well that the advantage of the monster in front of him was not speed.
But power!
“Whoosh!!”
The advantage of the Necromancer is not speed, but for Balerius it is the opposite.
In just the blink of an eye, Balerius, who was standing next to Salo, raised his shadow sword and flew past with a series of afterimages to the feet of the undead guards.
Then, Balerius jumped up.
The reaction of the undead guard was indeed slow enough. When Balerius came to his feet, it raised the knife in its hand as if it suddenly discovered the enemy, and then swung its four arms down violently.
However, at this time, Balerius had already jumped up, which made the undead guard's attack completely in vain and did not hit him at all.
However, the powerful strength advantage of the undead guards was highlighted. On ordinary days, a failed attack would not pose any threat, but for Balerius, this was not the case.
Although the Necromancer missed its blow, just as its blade swung down, Balerius immediately felt a strong air flow coming towards him, and he originally jumped into the air. His body couldn't hold on anymore and was blown away.
Seeing Balerius being blown away, everyone couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
——"Supernatural ability: Avenging Angel!"
Balerius was obviously prepared for this. Just as he felt the fierce air flow, a pair of translucent souls Wings appeared behind him and abruptly stopped his castration.
——"Weakness Insight!"
——"Lifting Qi Slash!"
The moment Balerius' body paused in mid-air, it then turned into a sword again at an extremely fast speed. The afterimage rushed towards the undead guards.
Priest Tysonde and Dragon Vein Warlock Salo also immediately released long-range attack spells to support the old sword master's attack.
The lightning flashed away.
The sharp shadow lightsaber was like a plow, cutting a shockingly long gap in the body of the undead guard.
Not only that, the huge shadow lightsaber went straight forward and penetrated the body of the undead guard in an instant.
I saw a wound more than one meter long suddenly appeared in the center of the fat and huge body of the undead guard. Corrupted internal organs mixed with blood flowed out of it, which looked shocking.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the brilliance of divine magic and magic were intertwined, and a gorgeous magical flame burst out from the bloated body of the undead guard.
If it were a living creature, this would be enough for it to endure.
But for undead creatures, they have no concept of pain.
So the undead guard immediately twisted his body, raised the knife with all four arms at the same time, and swung it down towards Balerius.
Facing this scene, Balerius also looked gloomy.
How could he not know what this undead guard wanted to do? Sometimes simple is the best. The undead guard was slow to respond, which gave him some room for maneuver.
But its power is really great, and ordinary people can't resist its attack at all
Balerius immediately rolled upwards, and then quickly retreated. At the same time, the undead guard's The four knives also came down with a bang and hit the ground heavily.
"Boom!!"
The dull collision sound made many people's hearts jump, and along with the bombardment of the undead guards, smoke and dust scattered on the ground, covering everyone In the smoke.
Then, the smoke suddenly shrank inward, and a thick arm stretched out from it, grabbing Balerius.
But just as that arm tore through the smoke and grabbed Balerius, a black shadow suddenly whizzed past and tightly wrapped around the arm of the undead guard.
Not far away, from the ghost staff of the warlock that emitted hot fire, two groups of ghostly ghost fires rushed out, turning into ferocious green skulls, biting fiercely. The arm of the Necromancer.
"Get out of the way!" the magician shouted.
Balerius flapped his wings and moved away from the undead guards.
With a loud noise, the thick, even swollen arm of the undead guard immediately burst open, and blood and flesh flew everywhere for a while, and a fishy and pungent breath rose into the sky.
The smelly liquid flew away and sprinkled on everyone like rain.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
The vicious laughter resounded throughout the hall, and the voice of the undead guard with bright red blood oozing from his body was like the last scream of the dying person. The scream was eerie and terrifying, and his face was distorted by extreme pain.
What frightened Balerius and the others was that the screams that began to fill the air were corroding their spirits and souls at an extremely fast rate.
In just a few seconds, a faint feeling of dizziness occupied their minds.
"Back away!" The magician shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't get too close to it."
The four of them immediately retreated to the entrance of the hall.
"Roar!"
The seriously injured undead guard did not pursue, but roared, raised his only three remaining arms high, and smashed them to the ground.
“Boom!!!…”
After being reminded by the warlock, Balerius and the others had naturally dodged away and were not involved in the attack of the undead guards.
But this huge force caused the entire ground to tremble, and then I saw that the ground in front of the undead guards began to crack rapidly. The cracks extended all the way forward. In a moment, the ground in front of me was completely destroyed. Cracking, falling downward.
Under the light of the ghost fire, you can vaguely see the dark bottomless abyss inside.
"Click! Click!..."
"Click! Click!..."
Waves of tiny noises came from all directions. They were not loud, but they made people feel creepy, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Then, a pair of withered white arms stretched out from the edge of the huge hollow.
Then, dozens of undead creatures climbed out of it using both feet.
Corpse hounds appeared in the sight of the four people. If you look closely at their bodies, you will find that this monster is actually composed of countless rotting humanoid corpses. A strong stench permeates the air. in the air.
Bluish ice flames suddenly appeared in the blank eyes of the corpse hounds, and then they locked all their sights on those living lives.
"Damn, we're in big trouble. These dozens of hounds are all undead creatures of level four or above." The magician's expression became very ugly, "I'm afraid we have provoked something we shouldn't have provoked."
Even if the magician didn't remind him, Balerius could see the general strength of this group of hounds.
Even though he had upgraded his strength to the legendary realm in the jackal war a few days ago, he was not sure he could face so many enemies at the same time.
“Retreat!”
Without any hesitation in his heart, the magician immediately called for everyone to retreat.
"Boom!"
However, just when they were about to escape from this place, something happened that made everyone even more desperate. With a roar, the heavy adamantine door slammed shut automatically.
The corpse hounds also galloped towards them like arrows.
“The space is blocked.” Pastor Tysonde, who was about to open the portal and leave, his face darkened, and he told an even more desperate news.
——"Half-Dragon Transformation!" The escape route was blocked. Facing the undead creatures crawling out of the abyss like ants, Dragon Vein Warlock Salo immediately stepped forward to meet them.
He held the handle of the flaming war hammer with both hands, and then swung it forward with all his strength.
Soon, under the flickering light of the fire element, the powerful and heavy adamantine warhammer whizzed past, flying away all the undead creatures crawling towards the crowd like a broom.
For a time, the remains of undead creatures were everywhere, but this did not stop the undead creatures from moving forward.
Under Salo's attack, their attack only slowed down slightly, and then they continued to move forward unscrupulously.
Balerius and Priest Tysonde also took action immediately.
The old sword master waved the shadow lightsaber, spread his wings, and leaped up under the cover of the priest's magic. The lightsaber in his hand drew a long line in the void.
A narrow, hot sacred flame immediately appeared on the originally empty land. Like a fiery snake, it moved forward under the guidance of Balerius's sword, killing all the undead creatures. Devour it.
The priest also raised the Holy Emblem, and with the flash of divine light, the dispelling divine spells turned into golden light arrays, melting the undead creatures.
The tiefling warlock stared at the battlefield with a gloomy expression, and then raised his ghost staff high.
As his left hand quickly drew several strange characters in front of him, and the moment he whispered the last syllable in a low voice, a huge circular red magic circle suddenly appeared directly above the entrance of the abyss, sealing the originally dead The hole opened by the spirit guard.
The undead creatures who were desperately climbing up, after coming into contact with this magic circle, trembled as if they were electrocuted.
Then, streaks of white smoke emerged from their bodies, and then these undead creatures let go of their hands, allowing themselves to fall back into the original abyss.
This is just a temporary measure.
Although the warlock sealed a cave, the undead guards and dozens of corpse hounds were already roaring and striding towards them.
Although most of the undead creatures crawling out of the abyss were eliminated by Balerius and others, most of the remaining ones were still surrounded by the prey in front of them from all directions under the leadership of corpse hounds.
Looking around, there are rotten deaths everywhere at the moment. They are lying on the ground and on the ruins, like overwhelming locusts, which is disgusting.
In the view of the warlock, in order to end this battle, at least one legendary wizard who can calm the situation is needed.
High-end battles will never be without a legendary wizard.
First of all, the wizard's survivability is strong enough, so there is no need to worry about being killed instantly, and secondly, the legendary wizard is intimidating.
Priests can't do this, and neither can magicians.
They have the ability to cast spells, but in the realm of legend and above, they are kept away by the wizard.
“I can only hold on for ten minutes at most.”
The warlock looked at Balerius, who was already entangled with the undead guards, and felt anxious in his heart, “If this continues, It is very likely that the group will be destroyed here.”
At this moment, a light from the teleportation circle suddenly appeared, making the magician look shocked.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Brian and the female lord Arabe break through the sealed space and appear in this hall.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Along with the explosion of fireballs the size of washbasins.
The dense undead creatures suddenly fell down in pieces. Even the corpse hounds that had reached the fourth level of strength fell to the ground and died in the exploding fireball.
The arrival of Brian and Myrcella instantly reversed the situation on the entire battlefield.
"Back off!"
After giving an order to Balerius, who was fighting with the undead guards, he entered the battle.
——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration Technique!"
——"Advanced Dispelling Magic!"
With the assistance of the Super Spellcaster, Brian released it without any scruples Use your own magic.
He could feel that the undead guard in front of him had high resistance and strong recovery ability.
In this case, the most effective tactic is to remove the various resistance spells enchanted by the creator on the opponent.
One after another, the magic aura shattered.
The undead guard's bloated body was like popcorn, with an explosion-like effect. At least five enchantment spells were lifted, and all the weapons held by its three arms were decomposed. .
——"Ice explodes with rage!"
Sharp icicles rose up one after another. With Myrcella's assistance, Brian cast spells at an astonishing speed. Just by raising his staff, the spell came out and turned into a cage to seal the undead guards inside.
"Boom!"
With a roar, the ice cage was shattered by the brute force of the undead guards, and three arms roared towards him like long whips.
——"Flash!"
Along with a magical light, Brian's figure disappeared.
The undead guard suddenly raised its head, then opened its big mouth, and with a deafening roar, an icy cold air comparable to the breath of a mature white dragon spurted out from its mouth, instantly covering Brian's figure. .
"Lord?!"
"Your Excellency Brian!!"
Seeing this scene in front of them, the expressions of Balerius and others changed slightly.
The surging icy cold air gradually disappeared.
Brian was still floating quietly in mid-air, but at this moment, his legendary staff, which condensed terrifying arcane energy, was pointed at the undead guards who were still breathing ice.
——"Legendary Spell: Collapse Singularity!"
The space where the undead guards were located suddenly collapsed and shattered, and a terrifying space crack appeared, pouring out a surging force of death. The force washed away its dilapidated body.
“——!!”
In just the blink of an eye, the body of the undead guard suddenly twisted and compressed, as if an invisible big hand was kneading its limbs like dough. It was rubbed, torn, and crushed with the body, and then forcefully stuffed into a crack in some space.
In the entire hall, the undead guards could no longer be seen.
Brian's figure fell from the sky, and the female lord walked up to him and whispered, "This undead creature is not dead. I sense a terrible energy interfering with your attack."< br>
“I feel it too.” Brian nodded slightly, his expression becoming a little ugly.
This was indeed beyond his expectation.
According to the plot in the game world, there is no undead guard, just a death screamer whose strength reaches the legendary realm.
She was the elf girl killed by Balerius and others.
But now, the ruins of the ancient star elves in front of us are obviously quite abnormal.
The weird aura just now, the undead guards, corpse hounds, and the large number of undead creatures pouring out of the cracks, Brian had never encountered before.
As long as you kill the Death Screamer, you will be able to find the teleportation array, leading to a star elf demiplane called 'Hildeyou'.
Thinking of this, Brian made a gesture with a solemn expression.
Seeing his gesture, everyone who had finished cleaning up the undead creatures immediately gathered together.
At the same time.
A strange silence suddenly covered the entire ruined city. For a while, no one could hear any sound in their ears. It seemed that the only thing left here was silence.
This feeling of danger made Brian feel like a tsunami was coming.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and the cold, bone-deep icy breath began to spread.
"Boom!!!"
A sharp bone thorn, as big as a stone pillar, suddenly shot up from the ground and stabbed towards Brian and the others.
In the face of this sudden attack, everyone reacted very quickly, dodging and dodging. Although they were a little embarrassed, they finally managed to escape the attack of these bone thorns.
However, they soon discovered that these bone spurs were obviously not used to deal with them, because at this moment, these tall and smooth bone spurs had been completely connected to form a solid wall, surrounding everyone.
Just when Brian was considering whether to run away, a cold, chilling laughter suddenly sounded.
"Hey hey hey hey, I really didn't expect it. I thought someone could defeat my cute subordinates... I didn't expect it to be like this..."
With the sound of speaking, a person was covered in black. The figure in the robe slowly emerged. He was floating outside the bone wall, and his pair of flashing red eyes stared at everyone with an ominous brilliance.
"The paladin and the warlock, the binder's priest and... the legendary super magic user, and one, huh?... turned out to be the great arcanist of Nese?" The black-robed wizard turned his gaze. Locked on Brian's body, he showed a surprised expression:
"Tsk tsk... It's really an interesting and fresh combination, and it almost killed my lovely undead bodyguard. But before that, I As a host, I welcome all guests to my city. Please relax and enjoy... Hehehehehehehehe..."
The figure shrouded in the robe shook his shoulders again and made a chilling cry. laughter.
The sound sounded to everyone's ears like fingernails scratching on a blackboard.
Bryan and others frowned, and the dragon vein warlock Salo on the side raised his hands to cover his ears in an exaggerated manner.
Although I have already been mentally prepared, after all, reality is different from the game, and it is very likely that situations will occur that are different from what I expected.
But when the change did happen in front of Brian's eyes, he felt extremely complicated.
After all, in the game, the difficulty of the Ancient Star Elf Ruins dungeon will change depending on whether the player completes the quest line or not.
But whether it was the dungeon that Brian forced his way through, or the dungeon that players opened later through missions, the final BOSS was just a death-screaming star elf girl, not this unfathomable figure who could see through his identity as an arcanist at a glance. Black robe wizard.
Otherwise, the challenge level of this copy should not cap at level 15, but start at the legendary level.
Brian once again stared at the black-robed wizard in front of him.
Under his dark robe, his eyes with negative energy are not as dazzling as those of the Lich, but they carry a soul-stirring deep chill, which is obtained by truly dedicating one's soul to the immortal and evil gods. strength.
And beside him, Brian could sensitively detect a dark aura.
That was the coercive aura that every lich possessed, but there was a chill in this majesty that frightened him.
“Are you a believer in eternal love?” Brian subconsciously expressed his guess.
The immortal beauty Ye Yao.
Also known as: Eternal Lover, a weak goddess of absolutely neutral camp.
She is popular with immortal seekers, lovers, and the undead.
Anyone who has received love but lost it, or who knows love and is worried about its end one day, is a potential servant of Ye Yao.
Her servants are basically undead, or they become undead after serving her for a period of time.
Ye Yao taught:
Desire is everything, and the desire for love must not end just because of the passage of time.
Those loves that transcend life should pursue eternal life under the blessing of immortality.
Perfect embalming can refrigerate love and keep it forever.
Although the tragic end of love can be partially prevented by resurrecting lovers who have unfortunately passed away, there is no way to prevent the ultimate call of age - except accepting immortal life.
Ye Yao also taught:
Love never dies. If the body can be kept in a proper state, then love can last forever.
"So, you are Morel Twilight Walker, the chosen one of the eternal lover Ye Yao."
Brian recalled some of the information he had searched in the Glass Palace and guessed the identity of the black-robed wizard.
Decades ago, star elves lived deep in the distant sea forest, which is now the distant sea swamp.
Facing the Netherese invaders who continued to colonize the ancient forests along the Wizarding Bay, the star elves decided to withdraw from the main material world.
So, a familiar scene appeared again.
The high elven mages built a glass palace deep in the forest, as well as a network of stone rings covering the entire forest.
They then run an extremely powerful high elven spell through these stone tablets.
If this spell is successful, most elves will leave the main material world and come to a country called: Hildeyou.
A beautiful and mysterious demiplane, a place eternally illuminated by the dim light of the stars.
However, during the operation of the ritual, a high star elf mage named Morel Twilight Walker, out of his desire for corruption and power, attempted to control all star elves.
When fighting for the highest control of the demiplane, this high-level star elf mage even did not hesitate to use evil power to fight against other high-level mages.
As expected, an unexpected surprise occurred.
The ceremony of the high-level star elf mage, during the battle, tore open an unknown demiplane, and the terrible corrupt energy poured out from the crack. All the star elves known as the "Masters of Singing Magic" , all were transformed into 'death screamers' full of death power.
“Yes, descendant of Nese, dozens of centuries have passed, it’s rare that you can still recognize my identity.”
The blood-red eyes of the black-robed wizard flashed across With a touch of surprise and emotion, he immediately said: "You disturbed my sleep. I should have kept you all here, but I think we might be able to make a deal."
"It's about The Immortal Lord Orgas?" Brian said calmly.
This is not some secret news. During the 'Year of Turbulence' and the 'Arcane Catastrophe', the demon prince Oqisi has always regarded his eternal lover as the number one public enemy and chased him everywhere.
After all, both of them are gods of the Immortal Sect, and there is an obvious conflict in doctrine.
"I just like to communicate with smart people." A smile appeared on the face of the black-robed wizard hidden in the hood, and he whispered: "If you have the courage, come with me."
Ignoring the female lord’s comforting eyes, Brian followed without hesitation.
