quicksilver blood

Chapter 552
This skeleton... actually has a goblin friend?
Roland raised his eyebrows in surprise.

You know, all goblins are color control.

They like to be with those who are beautiful in appearance and pure in heart-in simple terms, they are like fairies.On the contrary, if the words and actions are too rough and brutal, it will even scare away the goblins directly.

...Maybe Oletta was indeed a handsome man before he became a lich, but now he has only a decayed skeleton left, which is enough to scare children to tears without any disguise.

But the real problem is not actually here -

Noticing Roland's gaze, Auletta just shrugged helplessly.

"Well, Your Majesty... I know this is not normal. But please believe that Seruna's eyes are normal."

"I know."

Roland nodded gently: "I understand. Aging has its own beauty. Birth, old age, sickness and death, every stage of life has its beauty."

Oletta just sighed.

"...If it is a natural aging face, it has its own charm."

"Don't be humble, Oletta. Everything is born from the dust, and it will return to the dust."

Hearing Roland's words, the off-white flames in Auletta's eyes jumped suddenly.

However, Roland understood that he was definitely not touched, but that he had begun to be wary of himself.

But Roland had no worries.

Because he knew in his heart that as long as Oletta figured out his reason for coming, he would never fight against him.

Although this lich with only a skeleton is not well-known, his background is not simple.

If you can sum it up in one sentence, it would be the original Arthur——

Both An Ruosi and later Arthur can be regarded as Oletta's descendants.He was the former Keeper of Secrets, the heir to Merlin's destiny.

In addition, he also has a more famous name, that is the door of natural disasters.

The task Merlin entrusted to him was to release Elucado, who was sealed by Tyre.

The reason why Oletta became an undead was not because he wanted to seek eternal life, but because he thought he had to enter Elcate in order to find a way to unseal Elucado.

In order to avoid suspicion, he had to give up his identity as the heir of the fifth tower, come here as a wizard who yearns for longevity, accepted the transformation of the undead, and became a member of the new undead.

This is actually quite reasonable.The White Tower in that era was far less powerful than it is now. The gods persecuted wizards for 300 years, and many wizards who were not very determined left the White Tower to seek a safe and secure life.

However, even if they do not have such thoughts themselves, once they are caught, they may still expose the wizard of the White Tower.The White Tower at that time did not have the same relaxed research environment as the White Tower today.They don't even have a piece of land.

The reason why they call themselves White Tower Wizards is because they live on a white tower that can be moved at any time. Once their position is exposed, they will immediately launch a teleportation array to transfer positions.

That white tower is now Merlin's fifth tower.And one of the responsibilities of the secret keeper is to teleport the White Tower directly after discovering that his location has been exposed, regardless of whether there are colleagues who have just left the White Tower and have not returned.It can be said that those wizards who failed to catch up with the White Tower's teleportation due to accidents will basically never be found in this life.

With such a lofty identity, it is very difficult for Oletta to forge her own betrayal.Because he knew too many secrets, it was impossible for the White Tower to let him go.

So, in order to have a chance to enter El Carter, Anvilia finally sent a gold-ranked crafty knife wizard to hunt him down.

You know, Oletta was still very young at that time.Not only is he lacking in combat experience, but his own level of sorcery is only around the silver level at best.Under the full attack of the great wizard who didn't know the truth, Auletta tried her best to finally drag her half-life left body into Elcate.

At that time, his left lung was cut in half, the scar on his right arm was deep enough to show bone, and there were more than [-] fractures all over his body. His belly was cut horizontally and his liver was ruptured. It can flow all over the place.

The dying Oleta was discovered by a soul warlord at the time.The soul warlord originally planned to turn him into a wronged soul, but after he happened to recognize his identity, he didn't dare to delay, but chose to immediately ask his superior, the Countess of Bloodthroat, Chrissy, for instructions.

It can only be said that Oletta's life should not be lost, and he happened to meet the relatively enlightened new king's undead, so he could save his life and be transformed into an undead.Even as long as the soul warlord ignores him, he will die soon.

However, even if Oleta was transformed into an undead, he still refused to replace his body with alchemy products such as living spines and bloodworms like ordinary undead, so as to maintain the vitality and beauty of his body.Everyone thought that his dignity as a wizard did not allow him to use the research and development results of the alchemist who was his mortal enemy, but only he knew that it was his will as a human being that did not allow him to use his own kind as raw materials to make alchemists. The medicines produced maintain their hypocritical appearance.

He is using his own bones to remind himself all the time—you are not an undead, but you are no longer a human being.

But by mistake, because of Oletta's own influence in the White Tower, many wizards followed him into Elcate, and imitated his behavior, not to maintain their body that collapsed due to negative energy , but wholeheartedly carrying out their own research.

As a result, after hundreds of years of repetition, these black wizards who called themselves liches formed a considerable force in the White Tower.As the first Lich, Oletta has surpassed the Countess of Bloodmaw, and has become a pivotal existence in the New King's Faction.

In the original plot line, after Elcardo came to Elcate, he met Oleta first.The main task of Chapter 1 of the Elcate chapter starts from the Lich King who has been playing Infernal Affairs for hundreds of years-the infighting among the undead, the mutual crusade between forces, the White Tower in the old age, the birth of the Lich, and The emotions that have been entangled for hundreds of years fully show this decadent city of thousands of years.

There is no doubt that this old and cunning guy is not as decadent and gentle as he appears.

As the saying goes, to grow old and not die is to be a thief.As one of the only seven people who has an open channel to the outside world, if he was really just a simple scholar, he would have been crushed and killed by the factional struggle in El Catrige's eyes.

That being the case, the goblin who can stay with him will definitely not be so easy.

The real problem is not that Oletta actually has a goblin friend; the real question is, why does Roland never know about a goblin who can sit on Oletta's shoulders so well?It's like it came out of thin air.

...No, Seruna?
Roland frowned slightly.

Is it an illusion... Roland felt as if he had really heard this name somewhere.
