Chapter 164: Lich Mercator



Bordering the City of God's Creation are the Dailan Throne, the Glorious Throne, and the Rouge Throne.

Nans's airship landed at the edge of the territory of the Dailan Throne. For the rest of the journey, airships were not allowed to enter from high altitudes, but there were special cars from the royal city to pick them up.

When they got off the airship, they could already see a number of airships from other thrones parked on the tarmac. The people from the First and Second Wizard Towers of the Brilliant Throne who arrived with them were also nearby.

Ash also saw a familiar face.

Lawton Bloomer, the grandson of the first wizard tower master, doesn't have much strength. It seems that his grandfather brought him to see the world.

Lawton apparently saw Ash as well.

He immediately remembered the pain and humiliation of being kicked unconscious before, and cowered to hide behind his grandfather. Then he suddenly realized that he now had a backer by his side, and he should not be afraid of that young man anymore!

Relying on the fact that his grandfather from the First Wizard Tower was not far away, he immediately walked over with his chest held high and his head held high, looking very proud.

Of course, he didn't come over here to do anything. It's true that Lawton is usually arrogant and domineering, but he is not completely stupid. In an occasion where the top leaders of the Wizarding Association gather, even if his grandfather is there, he dare not make a loud noise, let alone make any eye-catching noise.

Perhaps out of a desire to show off his status, he swaggered over to Ash, wandered around, and even pretended to be friendly and said hello: "Hey, Ash, did you get a place to enter the city too?"

Ash nodded, his eyes fell on the identity badge on his wizard robe, and asked in confusion: "You are still... a mid-level wizard?"

It has been almost a year, and both Ash and his friends have improved in strength.

So, for Ash, it was very strange for someone like Lawton who was still standing still.

Lawton: "..." Damn, do you think everyone is as weird as you? A mid-level wizard of his age is already a genius, you know!

His face alternated between blue and white, looking extremely ugly.

In his ears, Ash's words were automatically translated into "When I was a wizard apprentice, I could beat you up easily. Now that I am a mid-level wizard like you, I can beat you up even more easily!"

Full of vicious threats!

"You!" He was so impulsive that bad words came to his lips, and he wanted to curse back with the most vicious words.

But as he was about to say this, he saw the black coffin next to Ash.

Inside is... the Scarlet Moon?

He gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words, turned around angrily, and went back to his grandfather in frustration.

He has a grandfather, but Ash also has a partner! They are not inferior at all.

This little episode did not attract much attention. Only Meng saw the "undercurrent" confrontation and laughed and commented: "It's so stupid that it makes me cry."

Ash didn't take it seriously and soon started talking to Lan on his shoulder.

"This is the Dailan Throne," he said, "It was once the territory of Lord Mercator."

The first king of Dailan was Mercator, who named his throne after Dailan.

Ash applied what he had heard from Uncle Meng immediately and told Lan: "Now the wizards of Iluv have always believed that the reason why the throne of Dailan is named Dailan is because the most powerful potion at present is Dailan in color."

Lan smiled sweetly: "Dark blue potion? I know, that's the potion Mercator prepared for me."

Ash nodded. So, the current misunderstanding of the meaning of the Delan Throne by the world is not that far-fetched. At least it has something to do with the truth.

They didn't have to wait too long, and soon, a wizard from the City of Creation came to lead the way for them.

They were guided into a luxuriously designed vehicle, which slowly drove out of the helipad and headed towards the City of Creation.

The scenery along the way is superb, with green mountains and clear waters, fresh and bright, with bright colors and vitality that are rarely seen in the north.

Ash raised his hand and touched the coffin, wanting Sigourney to see this view as well.

But before setting off, Sigourney sternly warned him not to use the contract to exchange bodies for trivial matters. Now he couldn't use this trick to get Sigourney out.

Pity.

He simply closed his eyes and poked Sigourney in the spiritual world.

Since Sigourney couldn't see with her own eyes, he would temporarily serve as Sigourney's eyes, describing the beautiful scenery to Sigourney in the spiritual world.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"……Um."

Before night fell, the vehicle arrived at the edge of the City of Creation.

While still far away from the City of Creation, Ash saw the entire city.

Just as the rumors said, it is a city suspended in mid-air.

The whole body is white, solemn, majestic and magnificent.

Now that the distance is closer, the feeling is even deeper.

When they got off the car, what appeared in front of them was a huge five-pointed star magic circle embedded in the ground. The intricate inscription stripes showed no sign of wear and fading despite the passage of time, sun and rain. They were clearly visible and shining. Even before it was activated, people could feel the powerful energy coming towards them.

"A radiant array?" Ash muttered, his hand resting on the black coffin beside him.

"Yes." Meng replied while glancing at the coffin. A vampire actually dared to get so close to the glorious magic circle. He was a little frightened when he saw this scene.

Nance added slowly: "Don't be afraid. The magic circle has not been activated - the glorious magic circle has not been activated for many years." The cost of activating it once is also terrible, and it is not so easy to activate.

However, the glowing magic circle that had not been activated also emitted bright light at night, like dense starlight, swaying and shining towards the suspended city above. The picture alone was exceptionally beautiful.

The magic circle has not been activated, and these star rays are just a visual effect and cannot actually harm the dark creatures.

So Ash took the black coffin and, under the guidance of the wizard, walked to a corner of the magic circle and stood on a large face flower that was blooming wildly.

After standing on it, he was keenly aware of some kind of prying and scrutiny. The identity badge on the wizard's robe flickered. He knew it was the identity verification mentioned by Nance, so he did not panic.

It seemed that the verification was passed. After he stood firmly, the big-faced flower began to grow rapidly, becoming taller, thicker and stronger, carrying him all the way up to the wide platform extending out from the periphery of the City of Creation.

The wizard said, "It's getting late. Would you like to have your meal in the restaurant or have us deliver the food to your rooms?"

Nance: "Send the room."

The guiding wizard took out the communication prop, gave an instruction, and took Nans and the others to the assigned room.

The City of God's Creation is actually not very big, but it is majestic and looks particularly oppressive from the outside.

The internal buildings are arranged in a very regular manner and divided into thirteen areas, guarding the most central and eye-catching meeting hall.

Ash and his companions followed Nance to the area of ​​the Brilliant Throne, and naturally, the people from the First and Second Wizard Towers also went with them.

However, not only did they not have the friendship between the same forces, but they were hostile to each other. They couldn't stand each other and put on a cold face, as if they didn't know each other.

The resting places are also wizard towers. Nothing can make wizards feel relaxed and practical even when they are away from home better than wizard towers.

Nance chose one at random and took his people in to settle down.

After entering, he waved his hand to set up the next secret space, then turned to look at Lan: "What did you want to say just now?"

When Lan saw the Radiant Array, she looked a little strange, but she couldn't speak out, so she kept it to herself until now. She didn't expect Nan Si to notice her hesitation.

"I have a contract with Merktor. The contract allows us to sense each other's whereabouts." She said, "The connection of the contract was very weak before, but just now, when I walked to the edge of the Radiant Array, I found..."

She said with a strange look: "The direction of the contract is under the Radiant Array."

Meng was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's good! We have determined the direction right away, so we don't have to search around the city like headless flies."

Nan Si also pondered and said, "It's a good thing to have a clear direction. But the Radiant Array is extremely important to the City of God's Creation. If we want to sneak under the array quietly, we have to think of another way."

Ash also said, "Also, how are we going to wake up Lord Merktor then?"

Now that we have confirmed that the person is there, this problem should be solved first.

They all looked at Lan, thinking that Lan should have the answer.

Lan: "Just wake him up."

Nance: “Wake up?”

Shouldn't there be some ritual or spell?

Lan nodded: "Just wake him up. He is just sleeping."

Isn't that right? It must have been sleeping since ancient times until now, it must have relied on some magical means, otherwise it would have turned into a pile of bones long ago, right?

Facing everyone's confused looks, Lan suddenly realized: "Didn't I tell you that Mercator is... a lich?"

Lich?

The undead lich that had long since disappeared from Iluf?

Never said that!

Of course I didn’t say that!

"Haven't you ever doubted it?" Lan smiled sheepishly, as if she had made a mistake. "How could a human being sleep from ancient times to the present?"

Everyone: "..." So they all think it's some kind of magic! The magic of the ancient times is not something they can speculate on.

"So, a lich is sleeping under the Radiant Circle now?" The coffin was opened, and Signy came out, smiling, "He really chose a good bed."

Several people coughed lightly, and finally understood the strange expression on Lan's face when he said "the direction of the contract is under the glorious magic circle".

Maybe I was shocked by my partner's choice.

Nans calmed down and said, "Alright. Now we only have one problem left - how to sneak into the Radiant Array."
