my demon

Chapter 73 Magic Book

On the twilight tower in the depths of Howling Icefield, four teenagers from the Merriman family woke up, and they found themselves lying in a gorgeous room.Although they were not on the bed, the white, slender and soft plush carpet and the warm indoor temperature made them feel comfortable.

The fragrance ignited by the priceless spices from the elf forest filled the spacious room, the corners of the bed were covered with crystal magic crystals, and there were four magic stoves in the four corners of the room, and the crackling of the flames made a slight soothing sound.

The wounds on their bodies have healed, and they also put on simple magic robes.

They looked at each other for a while and got up, the older boy said: "Go out and have a look."

The outside of the room is equally gorgeously covered with star-patterned carpets, but it is obviously cold outside, and you can feel the cold air blowing your face when you step out.Fortunately, the magic robes they wore resisted the cold, so they only felt the temperature change.

The bedroom is on the second floor, and meals are placed on the long table in the hall downstairs. They have already smelled the strong aroma of roasted nuts and syrup, as well as the mellow and attractive aroma of wine and meat on the second floor.The huge roasted lamb is placed in the center, still maintaining the perfection of the moment just out of the oven, and the golden skin baked with honey is bright and crisp.

They swallowed, but did not touch the food, but walked down the stairs, looking around to find the generous owner here.

A little girl whispered: "Is that the legendary guardian lich of our Merriman?"

Although their bodies were in a coma, their souls were always being tormented by the talisman array, so they saw the whole process of the exiled crown prince and the alchemist summoning and being killed by the summoned lich.They saw the lich lifting weights and killing people lightly, and then waving his hands to collapse the huge castle manor into ruins. It was a powerful magic that they had never seen before.

When the talisman array was destroyed, they really fell into a peaceful sleep.

"I heard that his name is Helios, which means Son of the Sun..."

An older boy hurriedly stopped: "Don't call Your Excellency the Lich by name..."

"Wake up and eat." A cold voice sounded from a high place, they raised their heads and saw a blond-haired and golden-eyed lich holding a magic book in his hand, overlooking the railing on the third floor of the tower. They: "After eating, you can leave on your own. Going east is the port."

The older boy hurriedly saluted the other three: "Your Excellency the Lich King, I am Ronis, and this is Luna, Troza, and Alisa. Our surnames are Merriman. Thank you very much for your rescue."

"you are welcome."

The Lich nodded slightly indifferently, turned around and was about to enter the library full of bookshelves, Ronis hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Lich! If you can go with us to meet our clansmen, they will be very happy with the old guardian. Returning!"

Lich simply said: "No, please go back, I'm busy."

Ronis asked, "Can we learn magic from you?"

The Lich said indifferently: "Your talent is too poor, you don't need me to teach you, any course in a magic school is enough to teach you." He turned around and walked inside again.

Embarrassment appeared on the faces of the four teenagers, and Luna asked again: "When the family encounters crises and difficulties again, can I come to you for help? I heard from the elders that you would bestow bone charms in the past, and once summoned, they will appear , to resolve Merriman's crisis."

The lich looked indifferent: "No, I have already slept peacefully, I was forcibly disturbed, and I no longer bear obligations and responsibilities. I will travel far in time and space, and will not accept any more summons."

Ten-year-old Alisa mustered up her courage, her voice was immature: "But, aren't you Merriman's Guardian Lich? Why are you so indifferent to us and ignore us?"

Troza, the youngest, added loudly: "Merriman needs you!"

The Lich turned his head and glanced at them, and that glance seemed to see through their thoughts: "No, the Lich can only deal with powerful enemies, and the powerful enemies that Merriman has encountered so far are mediocre and incompetent. Solve—it is even very possible that Merriman's decline and mediocrity were all caused by my excessive shelter."

Tears welled up in Luna's eyes: "It's not our fault that we don't have magic talent."

The lich has exhausted all his patience: "Lack of magical talent does not prevent being a great person. Mortals have mortal achievements, and if you don't understand this, you will never be able to stand up to mediocrity."

The cold wind blew, and the lich had disappeared in place.

The four boys and girls looked at each other in blank dismay, but they couldn't resist the hunger in their stomachs, so they could only go down to eat at the dining table and then opened the door.

Outside the door is the vast ice field, the howling cold wind rolled over the ice field, taking away the dense ice debris, they took a few steps timidly, and stepped outside the door, but found that the cold wind seemed to bypass them, as if they It's like having a talisman on it.

Looking back, they could no longer see the location of the white tower. They were alone on the vast ice field, only seeing the thick snow haze covering their sight, and only the soft and fragrant platinum-gold dawn star blooming on the ground. Like a shining road, extending all the way to the east.

They walked slowly along the dawn star, Luna wiped her tears: "He is so strong, why won't he help us."

Alisa said: "He despises our mediocrity."

"The family legend clearly stated that although he lost his human feelings and was indifferent and gloomy, he was responsive to the descendants of Merriman."

"But doesn't he have a body now? Why did he turn into a lich in the past?"

"I don't know... It seems that his body has always been weak and couldn't bear the overwhelming spiritual sea. After the transformation, his body was taken by his biological mother to the elf forest for burial. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by that bad guy somehow."

"Then is he dead or alive now?"

"I don't think he looks like a Necromancer..."

"Then if he is alive, will his body still not be able to bear his spiritual sea? That's why he refused to help us."

"He is afraid that we will be sad..."

Ronis remained silent for a long time before saying, "Actually, I think he is quite gentle."

"He's really good-looking."

"He clearly said he would ignore us, but he still saved us."

"He also makes sense. We need to become stronger. If we keep being mediocre, he can't protect us all the time, right?"

The wind and snow gradually subsided, they saw the port, and couldn't wait to find the boat back to the manor.

The Lich didn't know that he was set up with a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted character. He was busy looking through all the books about space-time turbulence and time-space magic in his collection of magic books, and sent the Merrimans away. Study hard in time and space magic.

Three months later, an uninvited visitor from the Howling Ice Field came uninvited, the elf queen Gloria of the elf forest.

When the Lich came out, his face was full of impatience, and Queen Gloria couldn't help crying when she saw him: "When I was a little bean, you hugged me to see your body, and now I am honored to see you again." To you, thank the Goddess of Nature for her great love——Forever Frozen Forest encountered a monster and destroyed the enchantment, and the ice coffin was stolen by someone. I thought..."

The Elf Queen choked up as she spoke, her tears rolled down translucently, her long silver-white hair hung down like moonlight, and the moonlight crown shone brightly on her hair.The elves' overly sensitive and delicate emotions often made it difficult for the Lich to adapt, especially when his mother's emotional abundance was even worse. He was too accustomed to this and had to wait silently for the Elf Queen to recover.

It took Queen Gloria a while to wipe away her tears and smile: "The king of men, the king of dwarves, and the pope should all have realized something, and they all sent me letters asking if they know the clues, and whether I need to hold a meeting for you. The banquet, to announce your return? And the Merriman family... When you participated in the Battle of the Black Sea, you single-handedly dragged the black demon into the endless void, and your achievements and sacrifices are still recorded in the epic."

The Lich shook his head and said coldly, "Needless to say, it's just a passerby."

Queen Gloria paused, her eyes turned red as if remembering something: "Yes... your body, although the soul body has returned to your body, still can't carry your spiritual sea? I just saw Rin outside. The wind enchantment is unprecedentedly powerful... Speaking of which, this so-called royal forbidden art has long been proven to be a pseudo-spiritual art. For some reason, it can really summon your soul back and resurrect it on your body. If you can find the reason, it is It's not a matter of getting rid of your body being too weak."

The Lich sneered: "It is true that I couldn't be summoned originally. If the laws of the other side of the world intervene, it will naturally be sent back. My soul body did not perish in the first place, but was involved in the turbulence of time and space and lost in another world." ...had been dormant for many years."

He was silent, fidgeting with the carved quill in his hand, and finally said: "I want to ask some knowledge about space-time magic. Are there any magicians in the world who are good at or proficient in it?"

Queen Gloria thought for a while, then showed a helpless expression: "Space-time magic is not ordinary magic. The Mage Guild is dying of talents, and most of them practice ice, arcane, and fire magic. I have never heard of anyone Study time and space magic. Or you can ask the church, I believe the church library will have corresponding records, or you can take the time to go back to the forest of elves, I will let the moonlight priests find relevant records for you, maybe it will help you .”

The Lich said: "That's troublesome, let's go now."

Queen Gloria: "You are still as tireless a quest for knowledge as ever."

The Lich said without hesitation: "It is the Lich's instinct to seek endless knowledge and everything unknown. I need your recommendation, otherwise they would not allow a Lich to enter those important libraries."

Queen Gloria looked at the blond-haired and golden-eyed Son of the Sun in front of her: "..."

Did he forget that he is a human being now? She kindly reminded him: "Don't forget that you are a human being now, and you will be very welcome wherever you go, just like before. I heard from the former Moonlight Priest that when you were human , There are countless female elves in the elf forest who want to pursue you, after you gave up your life and became a lich, many elves were heartbroken."

The Lich froze for a moment, looked down at his fingers, retracted his fingers and shook his palm, and suddenly smiled: "No wonder I drove people away indifferently in the morning, but I didn't receive the familiar disgust, fear, rejection, and vigilance."

It turned out that there was only one person who was unsuspecting towards him as a lich, full of expectations, nostalgia and admiration for him, and even boldly declared that he fell in love with him and wanted to be with him for the rest of his life.
