Twenty Sided Dice

"Interfering with my destiny, what do you say?" Siegel leaned forward, put down the pipe in his hand, and asked in a curious tone. 92Ks.Com

"Do you still remember the earthquake on the volcano, and the shadowy ghost that appeared in Bacon Town." The Doctor's eyelids drooped and he looked weak, but what he said shocked Siegel. "I've been following you since you chose to go north at the pre-war meeting, applying magic through my Falcon familiar. I thought this time would be as successful as before, allowing you to complete the Macab much more smoothly. Da's sabotage mission, but I didn't expect the backlash to be so serious."

The fingers of his right hand trembled slightly, and he saw a soft pad covered with a blanket floating over. The Ph.D. lifts the blanket, and Siegel sees a bird shaped like a skeleton. Its feathers seemed to have been burnt out by flames, and its skin was covered with acid corrosion marks. One of the bird's eyes was already blind, and the other's pupil seemed to be covered by a protein-colored film, almost completely blind. In addition to being seriously injured, this bird has almost no life to support it, and one foot has already been put into the grave, just like its owner.

"Isn't there a cure?" Siegel's first concern was the health of others. "You are a ** teacher, or a Ph.D., there is always a way."

"If I say no, I'm deceiving you." The old man gently covered his familiar with a blanket and let it continue its endless sleep. Then he took a small platinum box from his breast pocket and used different spells on its six faces in turn - none of which Siegel could identify. After the box was opened, he saw a small crystal bottle as thick as an adult's thumb, which contained a black potion.

Siegel asked what it was and if it was an antidote. The Ph.D. nodded and then shook his head: "This is the potion that turns a mage into a lich. After drinking it, I won't be dragged down by this body again, and maybe I will live another hundred or two hundred years before I lose my mind. .Although others call me a Ph.D., I really don't have the experience of becoming an undead."

The young mage looked at his senior in awe. Staring at the tiny drops of potion in his hand. Achieving immortality is a feat that every life wants to accomplish, and the stronger the individual, the stronger the desire. Even gods can hardly be said to last forever, so the mortal world is more researching ways to deceive death.

Speaking of research. Who in the world can go further than the Master in this regard? Lich transformation is an innovation of the wizard. When a spellcaster's spell ability, magic circle knowledge and monster manufacturing skills reach a certain level, he can try to make a lich potion for himself. (This chapter is updated by 77nt.Com) Then pick your best day. Drinking this medicine will gradually lose flesh and blood within ten days, leaving only a skeleton covered with a magical rune array. Unlike Siegel's transformation into a skeleton, the lich's skeleton is extremely strong, and ordinary swords can't cause any damage to it at all. The new body contains magical energy and undead power, and the combination of the two will also form new changes. Such as the numbing touch, the breath of terror. Of course, the most important point is that the remnants of the old body will form something like crystalline stone. There is only one. Liches will keep this crystal stone properly, and use the safest and safest method to make a container for protection, called a phylactery, and then hide it in a place that only they know. If the lich's body is destroyed - although this is difficult, it is still possible - the lich will congeal a new body out of thin air next to the phylactery and be reborn again.

The existence of this method is well known, but the specific recipe and details are kept secret and hidden in the secret locations of various magistrates.

"Here, take it." The old man threw the bottle to Siegel, and the young mage quickly caught it. In a rush, he almost fell to the ground.

"Are you nervous?" the old man asked.

"A little bit." Siegel admitted with a smile: "After all, this thing is very precious."

"It's a pity that it can't solve my current predicament." The Doctor sighed, and then said: "If I drink this potion, I can indeed survive in the state of a lich for a while. I can do it when my original time comes. , will still be dissipated in this world. I have not used up my life, but my destiny."

"I don't understand." Siegel said frankly. "Is this related to the shadow of the dead?"

"Your intuition is right," the Doctor said. "I have dealt with them before, and they have helped me improve the effectiveness of my divination spells, allowing me to see the future more accurately. I know that if Macabuda's shipbuilding If the factory is not completely destroyed, Waterdeep City will inevitably face the fate of being breached. Although there are male lions, with the help of the transcontinental teleportation formation, the Mages Association will still stand, but the price to pay is too great. So. I cheated."

Having said this, the old man stopped for a while. Seemingly thinking, Siegel waited patiently and politely. There was only the sound of the dripping bell and the green smoke rising from the pipe in the room. Other than that, everything seemed to stand still.

But time will flow, and death will come. The old man continued: "I have seen a possible future, the vision is clear, stable and solid, and it is a good future. In that future, you went to Macabuda, causing the shipyard to be completely destroyed. So Waterdeep avoided After the catastrophe, the battle of the whole northern orcs also ended quickly, and the Mages Association became stronger. Many details of this future are vague, but all the keys are on you. You must go to Macabda."

"That's why I was left for that meeting?"

"Yes, young mage, that is an important choice." The Doctor said, "If you do not take the initiative to go to the north, then even if I order you to join Count Maxime's expedition, even if you eventually follow him into Maca Bud, the future will also be different, and it will lead to a more tragic ending. So when you made up your mind, I was really relieved."

"I think I should be able to make a difference in the north, and reading at the Three Peaks Pagoda all day will reduce my sensitivity," Siegel said. "I really didn't think too much about it at the time."

The old man nodded and asked Siegel to bring him a glass of red wine. After moistening his throat, he continued: "After that, I was too impatient, and used various means to make you go to Macabada faster. When in danger, I can't help but use magic to help. I have been warned again and again, but because it is not from the Keeper of Knowledge (another name for the God of Knowledge), I ignored it, and finally got bad results. The last time I cast a spell It was in Bacon Town, asking for help from Shadow of the Dead. They responded to my request, but then attacked me."

"What? Why is this happening?" Siegel exclaimed in surprise.

"Even the shadows of the dead have factions, and some of them think that I have done too much, so they form a vortex in the river of fate and **** me in. There is no magic to use there, I broke free with willpower Come out, but death is unavoidable, and my journey of destiny ends prematurely." He pointed to the Lich Elixir in Siegel's hand, and said, "This thing is useless, so I want to give it to you ."

"What happens after I drink this?"

"No doubt, it will die," said the Doctor. "And don't expect to stand up in the form of a lich. This thing is made for me and can only be used by me. If you don't like anyone, Just give him this thing, it's more effective than any poison."

"I'm relieved if that's the case." Siegel put the vial up and said, "I think it's the most powerful poison in the world."

"Very good." Faranis said, "You are a promising mage. I don't need to predict the future, just look back at the past. You have successfully completed the mission in Macabuda, what do you want? ?"

Siegel thought about it, there is one thing that is very urgent, and maybe only the ** teacher can know. He asked: "I want to know the whereabouts of Sir Bill, Janet and Evan."

"Is there no His Royal Highness that you are loyal to?" The lore scholar smiled, his beard shaking happily. Siegel felt ashamed, Prince Aaron was his own canonizer after all, and there was still the word "royal" before the title of baron. Seeing Siegel's embarrassment, Faranis became extremely happy for some reason. For a time, it seemed that the breath of death also dissipated a lot, and his face was radiant again.

"After my falcon discovered your whereabouts, it has already reported to the royal family of the Star Kingdom. This time, the Dawn Temple lost face and actually seriously injured His Royal Highness. It was only by relying on the members of the Mage Association to be saved. Thanks to you. , the relationship between the Star Kingdom and the Deepwater Dominion has eased, whether it's warships or aid can be sent continuously. As for your friends, they did stay in the Black Blood Castle for a while, similar to prisoners, but now they are all right Three great priests from the Temple of Dawn came, and brought a whole team of Paladins~www.readwn.com~ The starry royal family also sent mountain cavalry, with a size of fifty people, riding on six-legged lizards. They took over After the Black Blood Castle, the Slint family was imprisoned and awaiting release. Even the Kingdom of Saus would not dare to ask for redemption at this time, how could it be after the battle with the orcs. Your friends They are still in the Black Blood Castle. Since the war is not over yet, the troops guarding the prince dare not act rashly. After all, there is a good defense behind the city walls. It's a pity that none of those guys know teleportation spells. If they don't speak, the Federation will not take the initiative. help, no?"

"I think you're right." Siegel let out a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Janet will be safe with the prince. The Star Kingdom has a deep heritage. Although it is lacking in the New World, the power they can mobilize is still strong. After the introduction of the Ph.D., the Star Dynasty requisitioned the teleportation array of Xuecheng to express its gratitude, and sent hundreds of tons of military rations to Waterdeep City. It's been a good year for the past few years, and they've shown their muscles to this dominion while clearing out their inventory. Now many civilians in the city began to talk about the benefits of the Starry Kingdom again, and this situation made the Council of Masked Lords a little embarrassed.

But the lord council must endure it, otherwise where will the sea route be smooth?

"The past is basically finished, and now it's time to talk about the future." The Doctor coughed twice, let his smile disappear, and put on a solemn expression: "I only ask for one thing from you, a guy with a strange fate. To be continued)
