"Mr. Rhine. Why are you here?"
Lucian asked full of doubts, his voice came out sincerely, and his heart hung high fell back to its place, although he was still vigilant, but he no longer had the heartfelt sense of horror when he heard laughter before.
Holding a wine glass and swaying in tribute was his acquaintance "Observer" Rhine, who had no contact with Lucian Alto after parting ways, and he actually appeared in the projection of the Necromancer's Withered Castle, and his relaxed appearance looked like he was waiting for Lucian here.
The magnificent golden throne specially created by Count Witt, symbolizing his glorious glory in the nearly hundred years of war, is monotonous and boring in the necromancer, as if everything valuable when alive, such as feelings, glory, loyalty, treasures, food, etc., here, after death, will be the same dead silence, the same paleness, and no meaning.
However, the Rhine on this throne completely displayed silver, red and many other colors, as if in a stagnant world, in a decaying and rigid corpse, leaping into a living person, colorfully stirring everything but so out of place, full of a strong sense of repulsion.
Rhine shook the wine glass in his hand, watched the scarlet liquid sway and rippled, and chuckled: "Of course I'm here to wait for you, Lucian."
"Mr. Rhine, don't be kidding......" The corners of Lucian's mouth twitched slightly, and sure enough, he was still familiar with the joking Rhine, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
However, Lucian didn't believe that Rhine was waiting for him here, because he hadn't been in touch with him for a long time, and he didn't even know what happened to him after arriving at the Magic Council and what tasks he was assigned.
Rhine shook his head, put down his wine glass, and stood up slowly, with two huge bat wings behind him, completely covering the hall of the Withered Castle, and the black light swayed slightly like rippling water waves.
"It's a vampire indeed...... Is he a legendary powerhouse?" After seeing this scene, Lucian was finally sure. Even when Lucian had guessed this as early as when he met Rhine's "grandson" Viscount Karenerdia, Rhine was so mysterious that he could only truly know for sure by witnessing it with his own eyes. Of course, sometimes, seeing is not necessarily believing.
Rhine slowly walked down the steps of the throne and smiled leisurely: "Lucian, I'm really waiting for you, and for this reason, it was specially projected into Count Werther's dream."
Although he acted very relaxed and easy, Lucian suddenly had a strange feeling that he had used all his strength to maintain his current existence, and it seemed that he was not the real Rhein in front of him, but just a projection of him!
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Rhine? Do you also know the necromancer? Have been exploring here?" Hearing him mention Count Wert, Lucian's expression became serious and he asked seriously.
Rhine nodded: "Originally, I was entrusted by the Dark Council to do something in Alto, but then I accidentally discovered the existence of the true seal of the 'Silver and White Lord'. Since it is related to a sacred event that has caused a sensation in the world before the sacred calendar, related to the entry of the necromancer and the secrets of the depths, I changed my mind at the last minute and cooperated with the original enemy side."
"Cardinal Salder?" Lucian speculated thoughtfully that he could cooperate with Rhine, a mysterious figure suspected of being a legendary powerhouse, and had previously been qualified to be regarded as an enemy by him, and only Cardinal Sald had this strength in the entire Alto - the other two legendary powerhouses in the principality were in the Northern Fortress, they were the leader of the Holy Sword Knights and Natasha's teacher "Divine Radiance" Beria, and the "Chaos Serpent" Milton, who was close to the Violet family, "But a Holy Spirit Priest cooperates with the vampire 'Ancestor', it's really weird and ridiculous ……」
Rhein smiled handsome and praised: "Yes, very smart. Later, we barely achieved our goal, but when we were exploring the Necromancer, we encountered something, and Tsale was hiding very deeply, so I was trapped somewhere deep in the Necromancer, similar to the Maskeline I left you with a talisman."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lucian's chest.
"How ...... you?" Lucian asked in surprise, but soon realized that before Rhine entered the necromancer, he clearly knew his whereabouts, knew that he was a magician, and he must have inquired about the collapse of the "Grand Cross Stand" maze.
Therefore, when they face each other now, he, a legendary powerhouse, can easily discover the existence of the "Crown of the Sun" talisman if he senses it carefully.
Perhaps he may have encountered Maskelin in the depths of the Necromancer......
The surprise dissipated, and Lucian asked suspiciously: "Mr. Rhine, you are trapped like Your Excellency Maskillin, why are you in different states? What secrets are hidden in the depths of the necromancer?"
This is a question that has troubled Lucian for many days and nights, especially after discovering that Muskillin is likely to be related to the emergence of the Church of Truth. At this time, Lucian finally met a strong man trapped in the depths of the necromancer world to "show up and speak", of course he had to ask a good question!
Rhine spread his hands in style: "I have always been careful, I have made some preparations in advance, and I can borrow someone's power, so even if I am trapped, I have not completely lost my ability, and there is still a way to project it. If you want to communicate with the main material world, you can only choose the kind of creature that is on the verge of death and can vaguely sense the breath of death, and then project it into his dream."
"Because what happened to Count Witt is somewhat related to some 'guys' in the necromancer, I have been projecting attention, and then learned about your arrival from the dream of the shapeshifter Miaka who was almost killed by you."
"Given that you may have learned about the existence and mystery of the Necromancer from the arrangements left by Maskelin, given that you and I are close, hey, a familiar friend, given that you are the worst of all the people who know this secret, you will not think of anything else for the time being, and since I am unable to project it into your dreams, I decided to lead you into the Necromancer and communicate with you well, and then, I got in touch with Count Witt."
"So the things behind it are so complicated......" Lucian sighed in a low voice, "Mr. Rhine, what does this matter have to do with the necromancer? Are the secrets of the necromancy related to the gods? Do you want me to save you from trouble? Before I became a legendary magician, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go deep into the necromancer."
A series of questions exposed Lucian's shocking and complex inner emotions.
Rhine's expression was rare serious, and he nodded slightly: "I don't know what the secret of the necromancer world represents in the eyes of others, but in my heart, judging from many information and secret stories, it is indeed related to gods, related to true immortality, but unfortunately I have neither met Muskielin nor the others, nor have I been able to go deep there, so I can't answer what it is, maybe you will have your own answer when you explore it yourself in the future."
"As for this matter, it was the property of a guy who knew about the existence of the Necromancer and was even as close to the secrets of the gods as Maskilin as he sent his subordinates to plot against the seriously ill Count Werther.
"And what I ask you for help is divided into two stages, one is to wait for you to become a high-level magician, go to a few dangerous places to activate the arrangement I left in advance, and look for a certain being, if everything goes well, I can get out of trouble without the second stage, if it fails, then wait for you to become a legendary magician, preferably after the great arcanist, and then come in to help me get out of trouble, just like the request that Maskilin may leave."
Lucian was a little surprised by Rhine's request, he actually left such a sufficient arrangement, and then said seriously: "Mr. Rhine, you have helped me many times, I have always kept it in mind, if I can become a high-level magician, I will try my best to fulfill your request, as for the legendary magician, now it is difficult for me to say whether I have the ability to be promoted."
"It's really a personality that I understand and like. In short, I can only ask for such a dangerous thing, and I will not let you make an oath or leave a promise, it all depends on whether you are willing or not." Rhine smiled as if he was not trapped at all, "Moreover, I won't let you take risks simply for love, when you become a high-level magician, you have enough ability to go around my treasure place and take the three items you like in the first few floors. If I can get out of trouble or you become a legendary magician, then open the bottom floor of the treasure room and pick one of my treasures."
"Don't refuse, the stronger you will be, the greater my certainty of getting out of trouble."
Lucian nodded lightly: "Okay. And as an arcanist, knowing such an important secret in the necromancer, I can't control my desire to explore."
This is in addition to a keen interest in knowledge and the unknown, but also in the fear of death and aging.
In addition, Lucian suspected that the mysterious guy Rhine had other backstrokes, and did not simply pin his hopes on himself.
"Lucian, until you have legendary strength, never tell others about the necromancer world and ask them for help. Whether it is the epic knight of the Holm Kingdom, or the great arcanist and legendary magician of the Magic Council, after knowing this necromancer world related to gods and immortal secrets, the biggest possibility is to kill you to silence you." Rhein solemnly reminded.
Lucian agreed equally seriously and cautiously, this is the biggest secret in the world, and once it is leaked, it will set off a storm of terror.
After a few seconds of silence, Lucian continued to ask: "Mr. Rhine, can you tell me more secrets about this matter?"
"Lucian, it's not good to know some things too early, don't be too anxious, when you are qualified to know, I will project it into your dream and tell you." Rhine's words were a bit contradictory to before, and then a handsome smile appeared again, "By the way, I'll pay a little in advance now."
Rhine had already walked in front of Lucian at this time, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, firmly suppressing Lucian in place, unable to move. Then his white and neat teeth bulged out four fangs with a shiny silver luster.
It is not terrifying, but has a strange beauty.
"Mr. Rhine?" Lucian didn't panic too much, because according to the overwhelming momentum shown by Rhine, it was very simple for him to kill himself, and there was no need to be long-winded before.
Rhine lowered his head, bit his teeth into Lucian's neck, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's not the first time."
A slight tingling came from his neck, Lucian was a little dizzy at first, and then felt the blood in his whole body begin to boil, strangely transforming into an invisible and inexplicable force, flowing towards his soul.
Lucian's body weakened rapidly, but his soul quickly became stronger!
