Chapter 279: The Lich in the Manor Basement



Carl's eyes sparkled as he examined the spearhead in his hand: "Although it is incomplete, the shape is exactly the same as what I saw on the mural on Tortuga Island. It should be this one."

"God-killing Spear!"

The God-killing Spear is a product of mortals.

It is a weapon created by the humans in another world out of desperation in order to resist the oppression of the gods.

pity.

The human race's resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by the gods, and even that period of history was lost in the long river of time, with only a few records left in the ruins of Tortuga.

However, this weapon became a symbol of the civil war among gods, which can be regarded as indirectly fulfilling its mission.

Rather than being a weapon, the God-killing Spear is more like a strange poison, a strange poison that is born from faith.

To ordinary people, it is just an ordinary weapon, and it is even rusty.

But for the gods who devour the faith of their believers for survival, it is a strange poison that is difficult to eliminate.

Even the Moon Goddess, who had reached the level of a main god, was nailed into the void by it.

Shaking his head, Carl put the spearhead fragment aside and looked at his data panel.

Name: Carl

Constitution: 45.3 Mental Strength: 42.2 Essence: 445 Such a large amount of essence, even if it is a ratio of ten to one, can increase a value by dozens.

If you get it early...

"Hey!"

"There is no use in thinking too much."

After a little thought, the value in the mental power column jumped slightly and instantly reached the 50th level.

Fifty points of mental strength means a three-ring wizard.

As for advancement, the three-ring wizard is the easiest. After all, Carl had constructed the three-ring wizardry as early as the second level.

"boom!"

It was like lighting an oil barrel; raging mental power roared out from between his eyebrows and swept towards his limbs and bones.

In an instant.

The world seemed to be in chaos, with all things mixed together, like an egg or a fetal egg, with a bright light gestating inside. Suddenly, the chaos broke and the bright light burst out. From here, earth, fire, wind and water were born, and all things emerged.

Three rings!

This breakthrough was unprecedentedly smooth, with almost no obstacles, and it crossed the boundary smoothly.

Carl's body was suspended in the air, surrounded by flames and his eyes bursting with thunder, like a god descending from the sky.

"Is this the three-ring wizard?"

He raised his hand and looked at his palm, and a feeling of being in control of everything naturally emerged in his mind.

With a wave of hand.

A fire dragon roared out.

A thought came to my mind.

A fireball with a diameter of several meters appeared above the head and quickly compressed into the size of a ping-pong ball.

Although the size has changed, the power has not weakened at all, and it has even become stronger due to compression.

"The power of the law of fire!"

Carl looked thoughtful:

"The inheritance of the Secret Society is indeed extraordinary. He has just advanced to the third ring wizard and can master the power of the law proficiently. If he practices other inheritances, he should reach the middle third ring to achieve this level."

"Now, I don't need to build a spell circuit. The first-level fire magic of the Natural School can be cast with just a thought, and the second-level magic is not that troublesome either."

With each step, his understanding of wizards became deeper and deeper.

"Wizard apprentices build spell circuits, master spellcasting techniques, and increase their mental strength; full-fledged wizards undergo a spiritual transformation, perceive the astral realm, and explore the principles of witchcraft; second-ring wizards move closer to the astral realm..."

"As for the three-ring wizard, they have completely completed the transformation, and their mental power has reshaped their physical body. They can walk in the astral world to a certain extent, becoming a 'celestial creature'."

No wonder wizards look down on knights.

No matter how powerful a knight is, he cannot use astral energy to travel between worlds and grasp the truth of the universe.

"Even gods are not as convenient as wizards in this regard."

Although gods can go to other worlds, their strength will be greatly reduced if they leave their own kingdom and are away from their believers. Therefore, if the gods want to go to a certain world, they often let their followers lead the way and expand their own beliefs.

Coming back to his senses, Carl sighed again.

"pity!"

"The Eastern Kingdom in the main world has many gods, and wizards cannot use the energy of the astral world at all. The other world also has the barrier of the Moon Goddess, and the strength is also limited. I still have to go to the wizard continent in the future..."

"I didn't expect that the increase of mental strength could actually cause certain changes in the physical body."

The physical value has not increased, but the body is more flexible and some complex movements can be performed easily.

also.

It means that your affinity for fire increases.

If there is a martial art with fire attributes, Carl can master it quickly and it is more powerful than others.

"The divine skill cultivated by the Fire God bloodline..."

“Even if I can’t practice it, I can try to integrate it into the Ten Thousand Buddhas’ Hands to increase the power of my palm technique.”

"Now!"

"Solve the historical problems."

* * * Manor.

Carl, dressed in a white robe, walked slowly down the stairs and came to the door of the basement engraved with runes.

After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and gently stroked the door.

“Wow…”

As he moved, the runes on the door disappeared like melting spring snow, revealing a dark red door.

After knocking gently on the door, Karl smiled and walked in.

No one had entered the basement in many years, and it was full of cobwebs and filled with a damp smell.

“Da…da…”

Footsteps sounded in an orderly manner.

Carl flicked his fingers, and several soft halos appeared around him, illuminating the entire field.

There wasn't much in the dark basement, just a row of wardrobes against the wall and a desk.

There is a painting hanging on the wall behind the desk.

Carl was very familiar with the face of the person in the painting; it was Addison, the lord of the Black Swamp and the gray-robed wizard.

"We meet again."

Looking at the portrait in the painting, Carl sighed softly, "It is true that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. He faked his death in the Black Swamp and possessed the Enchanted Forest. There is actually a trace of his soul left here."

"call……"

Before he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew in the field, and the face in the portrait blinked as if it had come to life.

Hmm? Karl frowned, and the next moment he found himself in front of an ancient manor.

"Illusion?"

“So real!”

"I remember you." An old voice came from the manor:

"You were a wizard apprentice decades ago. Who would have thought that you would become a three-ring wizard in such a short time?"

"Yes." Carl shook his sleeves, a staff appeared in his palm, and he looked at the figure in the manor:

"No wonder I always felt something was wrong and never came down. You are actually a third-level residual soul!"

If he came down early, he might not even be able to escape under the illusion mode prepared by the other party.

certainly.

That was in the past.

Now he is already a three-ring wizard, while the other party is just a remnant soul of a third-level lich.

That’s right!

The grey-robed wizard Addison is apparently a second-ring wizard, but in fact he is a third-level lich.

"I come from the continent of Kalim and I'm a wandering wizard."

Addison looked at Karl and said slowly:

"Because of a special experience, I was teleported to this restricted area for wizards and was trapped here. In order to free myself, I had to think of other ways. The Addison you met was a part of my consciousness that was possessed and cultivated."

“Karl!”

"You have become a three-ring wizard because of your own experiences. However, I have lived for nearly eight hundred years, so I must have some knowledge and experience that you don't have. Why don't we join forces? As long as you help me get out of my current predicament, I am willing to teach you everything I know."

"No need." Carl raised the staff in his hand:

"I have a way to access your memory."

"..." Addison's face darkened: "It seems that you think you have me in your hands."

Hmm? Karl narrowed his eyes, and his heart suddenly sank.

Oops!

I'm afraid I was a little careless this time.

The aura emanating from the other party was so powerful that it was beyond his expectations, and was far from being at the early third ring stage.

When Addison is at his full strength, he could be a great wizard in the late third or even fourth ring.

Fortunately...

Only a remnant soul was left of the other party.

Even if there were some means, Carl was not afraid, at most he would have to pay a price, but the result proved that the price was far more serious than he imagined.
