Chapter 25

[Lasi is so reliable. Even if something unexpected happens, he can change his mindset and solve the problem so quickly...]

With the end of the story about the magic of the Eye of Foresight, Lazarus quickly turned his attention to how to increase the strength of his disciples.

Seeing him heading to the City of Academics to trade the awakening ritual with a spell note, a bullet screen said with emotion.

[Yes, even we feel safe with him around. Even we. How could Xiaoman not care about the teacher?]

[233 Lasi was depressed. We knew that the kid was concerned and that’s why he hid from the teacher and studied the undead creatures secretly. He didn’t know!]

[It's so weird when I think about it, who still remembers that he is a lich? ]

[It’s a lich, and a very dangerous character that the supporting characters are very afraid of…]

[In other games, this kind of lasi must be at least level 300, with at least six health bars and two transformation rampage stages (I’m sure)]

[But this is the realm of pink stars! Pretty faces are all used to send gentle knives! I see through it haha! ]

[…I really care about what Lasi said to herself.]

[Me, me, I care too! What does "You must have enjoyed watching the play" mean! ]

[It's quite subtle, like "You're secretly happy to see me getting rich" or something like that...]

[Who is Lasi talking to? I'm curious. Is there a third person here? ]

[The sudden appearance of a new character violates the Ten Commandments of Knox! Not allowed! ]

[This isn't a mystery comic, how can I fix it! Look, I'm going to blow up these old and crappy rules!]

With the active jokes and casual discussions, readers gradually relaxed and showed their pleasing self-healing ability.

In the scenes that continue to advance, the author depicts the distant view of the city of learning and the endless and magnificent sea of ​​books inside the library in great detail and vividness. As long as you immerse yourself carefully, you can imagine what it would be like to visit the place in person.

This small part doesn't have any explosive points, it is what is commonly known as a setting episode. At most, it allows readers to see with their own eyes how the "Spirit of Knowledge" that was briefly mentioned in the previous information exists.

However, because the comics were updated frequently, and Lazarus rarely showed his true face outside, the sun shone through the skylight on the top floor of the library, and the ominous dark red hair of the lich sitting on the bench was even coated with a warm glow. The picture was still very pleasing to the eye, so readers had no objection and would not say that the author had squandered another issue.

At worst, those readers who love to research and ponder the scenes can stay and savor it slowly, while the rest of the readers can just turn to the next page after appreciating the beautiful pictures.

So they saw that after obtaining the information about the blood awakening ceremony that had been controlled by the royal family for many years, Lazarus returned to the small building where he and his disciples lived, and he fell into a deep sleep only in time to put the information away.

[This state of drawing wire... is not right! 】

[Don't lie to me, I'm not well-educated. Even the skeletons and zombies in the lawn mowing game are not so lifeless.]

[Who said earlier that Lasi didn’t have long to live? I’m so panicked now.]

[Pink Star, please stop killing me, please stop killing me. Do you remember that this is the third episode in which Lasi appears? ? ? ]

[That is to say! You should at least wait a little longer for the popularity to ferment before killing the character! ]

[Some office worker teachers with slow hand speeds haven’t finished drawing the beautiful line drawings in two weeks]

[I am dying of laughter because I haven’t finished the line drawing. It’s so real. So I have to eat lunch if I don’t finish drawing the line drawing. Do you think it is reasonable, Pink Star?! ? ]

[Please let Lasi live a few more days, we are willing to be cheated...]

[I think of the victim of the previous bento again, woo woo little fox, my little fox]

Fortunately, Lazarus did not intend to sleep forever, and the next morning, he walked out of the laboratory as usual.

The clear sunlight from the countryside shone through the layers of leaves, illuminating the lich's red hair. Lazarus placed his left hand, which was still intact on the tree trunk, with an unclear expression.

He just lay there motionless, with his head down in silence, watching the sunlight, which originally could not harm him, linger on the surface of his pale skin, slowly leaving black star-shaped burn marks.

Readers may be careless and forget about the characters they have just seen, but when they pay attention to a character, they would like to comb through every hair three times with their eyes. This small frame of the picture has not been overlooked by everyone's attention.

[You are not afraid of the sun before drawing, I say——]

[That's right! Although the bones and hands are covered when outdoors, there is no problem with other parts! ]

[The general setting of the Undead system is that the more complete the body is, the less susceptible it is to light damage, not to mention that the level of Brush is vulnerable to ordinary sunlight! ]

[I feel even more uneasy——]

Fortunately, on the next page, a cluster of glittering crystals was thrown towards him. Although it was caught by magic in time, it still successfully broke Lazarus's strange silence.

"This is..." Lazarus looked at the crystal for a moment, and after figuring out what it could be used for, he deliberately bowed slightly and respectfully in the direction where the crystal was thrown.

"I am deeply troubled by your concern, Your Excellency Bernardus."

[That Lasi actually speaks so elegantly... I can't tell if he's just being polite or if he's just being polite to us]

[Indeed, Lasi doesn't usually speak in this tone. In fact, he speaks in a polite and gentle manner like a scholar...]

[Thinking of Lasi when she was alive, she must have been such a gentle magician (crying)]

Following the sound, a tall figure emerged from the darkness and said impatiently, "Call me Belu. Don't make me say it again."

"—That's what you used to call me."

He appeared near Lazarus, who was as thin as a walking clothes rack. His powerful figure was made even more explosive by the lich.

Although he is roughly human in appearance, his extremely agile movements, strong limbs and rebellious handsome face all show that he must always have an extremely terrifying presence and pressure in the crowd.

In fact, Bernaludos only took two or three steps and was still a long distance away from Lazarus.

Under the bright and eye-catching golden short hair, the pair of earth-colored vertical eyes shining with the luster of minerals stared at the lich from afar, contrasting with the large piece of pure gem dangling on his pointed ears.

The brilliance focused on it is extremely charming and beautiful.

[Fuck, it’s the handsome guy!!!]

[A new handsome guy shows up so unexpectedly ahhhh, Belu-san, I have been pushing you since my last life——]

[Again, Fanxing is good at drawing, how did Mad draw it, my brother has a top-notch modeling face but the smell of petting is genuine]

[My sister raised this one, I can testify, it looks great without any scales on the face! ]

[So handsome, I love it so much!!!]

But then readers will be overjoyed and then sad.

"Your Excellency is always so obsessed with the old Lazarus." The lich shook his head slightly and simply stopped calling him by his name.

The angle of the picture at this moment is the lich that Bernaludus saw - underneath the exquisite shell that seemed to be still intact, there was a ball of soul fire that was about to completely fade into a grayish-white transparent state. It was covered with cracks from the inside out like a solid substance, and most of them looked like they had been worn out for a long time.

He looked like he was about to go out, and even before he went out, he might be shattered into pieces by the slightest external force.

[It’s over——It’s all over——La Si——]

[Pink Star, you, you, you are so vicious!!!]

[The feeling of being broken (really)... Lasi, you are so patient! I can't even see it! I'm really impressed]

[Pay attention to these wear and tear conditions. I'm afraid that even the backlash of foreseen magic is a drop in the bucket.]

[Indeed, it seems that he was probably like this before he appeared on the stage ()]

The readers began to grope for tissues in advance, and Lazarus continued talking to himself.

"Time can change a lot. I can't remember the emotions clearly, but at the same time, I admit that this heart that no longer beats says it is familiar with you. So I think Bernaludus can be and can become a friend of Lazarus again, and that's why I tacitly allowed you to linger and spy around here for a long time."

"Call me Belu." The man with blond hair and vertical eyes, whose face was almost covered with the word "Dragon", said stubbornly.

"..." Lazarus remained silent.

His expression was clearly reflected in the eyes of many people at the same time. He still had a flawless young face and a usually calm and rational expression, but now he was slightly dazed as important memories had been eroded by the torrent of time. It was also mixed with the helplessness of hearing unreasonable demands and the useless apology of knowing that he was in the wrong. It was simple but extremely complicated.

The eyes, which had been completely dyed dark red by death, were made even more confused and blurred by the emotions of a different world, like a rose-colored sea of ​​unknown depth. They formed a clear difference with the vertical pupils of the past friend who were still firm and clear. The contrast between the before and the after was extremely strong.

"Well, once again. Because in what you call 'once upon a time', and in what was a blink of an eye for me..." Bernaludos paused.

He lowered his head, his thick golden eyelashes raised a naturally aggressive look in his eyes, he lowered his chin which was originally raised with a bit of pride as if to seek credit, and with a distinctly depressed look, he stepped back step by step, and disappeared into the darkness again.

"...You've already rejected me once."

The new character chose to give in, and it was Lazarus who took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"I'm sorry. Although I don't remember clearly, if you really invited me to become the heir of the dragon, sir. Considering that I threw myself into death at that time and did not choose the path of worshipping the dragon clan as a 'father' who was nobler than myself, there must be a reason."

"That's why I hate you. ... You die easily and are easily forgotten."

This scene was also loaded into the screen as it happened.

Compared to the protagonist who accidentally interrupts the story without knowing anything, the readers who watch from the beginning feel more pain.

[I’m a long-termist! ]

Then there was sorrow everywhere.

After the episode finally ended with Xiaoman falling into a coma, everyone immediately turned to the forum.
