After giving the order, the mage handed Elizabeth in his arms to Marika, then stepped forward and picked up the remaining lich's arm.
There is a ring on the arm.
The king just put the ring away, then picked up the Lich's bag of spellcasting materials, then pointed at the robe and said, "We need to find a tailor with magic weaving ability to repair this robe."
The dwarf picked up the robe, shook out the bones that had turned to ashes, and looked at it carefully: "It's a very exquisite pattern. We can go to the dwarf neighborhood and see if we can find someone to repair it.
"However, elves should be better at this."
He turned to look at Nini: "Can you knit?"
Nini: "I can. But I can't repair the magic robe."
Gotrick silently picked up the sleeves that were broken into several pieces on the ground, folded them together and handed them to the king: "Here!"
After Wang took it, he stuffed it all into the dimensional bag.
"Let's go to the dwarf neighborhood first, and I'll study this ring on the way. After all, Minos City is so big, there's plenty of time to study it on the way there."
**
The military tent in the orc army.
The orc overlord Asule is actually not as big, strong or green as many humans imagine.
Because he is an orc.
Orcs must have been despised and bullied in the human world, but in the orc world, the orcs despised the orcs just because they were too weak. The orcs believed that human blood weakened the orcs' power.
In other words, in the world of orcs, as long as an orc is strong enough, he can gain respect.
Asule once fought as a gladiator in a human arena and learned a lot of human fighting skills.
Orcs generally like all kinds of axes or warhammers because these things are very powerful, but Asule likes to use "girly" daggers and daggers very much.
Since returning home, Asule has won every challenge he's faced - as long as he loses, he wouldn't be where he is now.
Of course, the wisdom learned in the human world is also the reason why Asule is in his current position. That's right, the performance of the orc troops now is different from that of ordinary people, not because of the lich providing staff advice, but because the new orc overlord is intelligent.
Now Asule was studying the terrain carefully in front of the map. Suddenly the Necromancer Apprentice Cloche, who was standing next to him, raised his head and said, "It's broken. The teacher got it wrong."
Asule was shocked: "The reinforcements from the Arcane Federation have arrived in Minos so quickly? How many high-level mages have come?"
Cloche shook his head: "Not coming. Our intelligence should be absolutely correct!"
Asule sneered: "Are you saying that the Austrian-French Federation may not immediately assist Minos due to differences?"
Cloche: "What we are saying is that we will not assist Monrovia. Recently, the lords of Monrovia have been giving less and less to the Federation. The Federation's Supreme Council is very dissatisfied with this, so we want to Let Monrovia suffer.”
Asule: "If it is true, although I welcome this as the leader of the orcs, I still despise humans."
Cloche said with a sympathetic expression: "Human beings are the most abominable, and it would be better if they were exterminated."
Asule: "Aren't you a human too?"
"Yes, so I hate myself very much. I study hard every day and want to transform into a lich like my teacher. My teacher said that the best choice is to upgrade and become a planeswalker, but I don't think that way. The important thing is to get rid of Human beings, get rid of this bastard!"
Asule: "But even if you become a lich, you still retain your human bones."
Cloche was silent.
When Asule saw this scene, he stopped mentioning it. He changed the subject and asked, "So how did your teacher get away with it? Who killed him? The paladin? Or the priest of Lancelot and Typhon?"
Cloche: "He just sent a message when his body was disintegrating, but he didn't say what happened. The message only mentioned one thing: don't let the king take out the staff that will bloom with huge light."
Asule was speechless: "King, huh, this should be the name of the person who killed your teacher. It seems to be the mage mentioned in the intelligence who came out to study from the tower of the legendary planeswalker. A few days ago, the Wolf Cavalry He was the one who was repulsed with a Yang Yan Explosion.
"It seems that the advantage of the nine-ring mage against the eight-ring is not as great as you described."
Cloche touched his chin and thought: "The Eighth Ring is really no threat to the Nineth Ring. After all, as long as the teacher's power is like a mountain, all of them will be immobilized and can only be killed by the howl of the banshee. "
Asule: "Then why did your teacher take off his clothes?"
"It may have been done by the paladin with the blessing of True Seeing. True Seeing can remove the invisibility effect provided by the illusion spell that is automatically activated on the teacher.
"Teacher's three nine-level spell slots all have spells, so he probably doesn't have a place to bring a spiritual barrier."
Chain Trigger is a ninth-level spell, so it naturally occupies a ninth-level spell slot. As Mighty as the Mountain and Banshee's Wail, as "star spells" of the ninth level, they naturally also occupy a ninth-level spell slot.
Therefore, the lich cannot bring a spiritual barrier.
The mind barrier can prevent spells such as true seeing from seeing through advanced invisibility. At this time, in Cloche's understanding, the teacher must have been exempted from the scene by a powerful caster who used true seeing, and then was approached by a paladin. He was hacked to death.
Paladins are inherently resistant to magic control spells because they are strong-willed—no, it should be said to be fanatical.
And depending on the god they believe in, paladins may also have additional resistance to spells cast by undead creatures such as lich.
In addition, the paladin is an expert in dealing with evil creatures, and the Holy Slash can completely break through the physical resistance of the lich.
Moreover, the paladin order is generally very wealthy, with a large amount of wealth donated by church believers, so the paladin is often very well equipped. Various weapons with the "evil-destroying enemy" attribute may be standard weapons in the paladin order.
Cloche explained all the above to Asule in detail.
Asule nodded: "I already understand. What you just said is to illustrate one thing. Even if the opponent does not have a nine-ring spell caster, the thousand-year-old lich may still be killed."
Cloche sternly corrected: "My teacher is not dead! We will immediately start resurrecting him, and he will return in just two months! If you destroy the city quickly, let us harvest enough souls in time, He will come back sooner!"
The orc overlord said with a sullen face: "You seem to take harvesting souls as a matter of course."
"That's right, my teacher has harvested countless monsters. He may be the most evil lich in the entire Gralia!" Cloche said this with a crazy and admiring expression.
Asule: "Your expression now is probably the same as that of those fanatical paladins."
Cloche: "Is there any problem? The paladin is no more noble than me because he is fanatical about those hypocritical gods!"
"That's it. Let's get down to business. How long will it take for you to prepare 'that spell'?"
Cloche: "It only takes a week! This is the first legendary spell developed by my teacher. It took him fifteen days to cast it, and he kept it in the sacred object given to us, waiting for the preparation of the ceremony. Done, we can bring about the complete fall of the never-fallen Minos.
"When the time comes, you...don't forget your promise to our teacher and carry out a bloodbath on Minos!"
Asule was silent, staring at the Necromancer's face for a long time, and then said: "Don't worry. I can suppress the troops without plundering here, which has already suppressed them to the extreme.
"Now more and more orcs are plundering privately. If we don't let them go after the city is broken, my position as the overlord may be overthrown."
Cloche nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

Inside the city.
Wang had been studying the ring seized from the lich while riding Xiaobai to the dwarf quarter.
Xiaobai saw that he had been studying it for so long and was very anxious.
Because she is still carrying the unconscious Elizabeth behind her, she will once again act like a dwarf dragging a rake when she turns back into a human being.
So Xiaobai could only keep shaking his head.
The dwarf was holding the edge of the basket on Gotrek's back saddle. Seeing this scene, he asked on her behalf: "What is going on? What kind of ring is that?"
When the king and the lich fought, the others were still controlled by Shenwei Ruyue, so they didn't know that the lich used the magic on the magic ring.
King: "I think this is a magic ring that stores a daily command: death."
The dwarf and the elf asked together: "What is that?"
Wang: "A nine-ring spell of the control system, an advanced version of the Finger of Death. The difference from the Finger of Death is that this one does not need to hit the enemy, but will take effect by default after specifying the target. (*)"
Dwarf: "I, it looks good, but this is a Lich's equipment. Does it only have this one function? Shouldn't it also have some special effects?"
Wang nodded: "It can make the person wearing it immune to the effects of death by law, but... this immunity effect is not as good as the anti-death enchantment. It is basically better than nothing. The same is true for lichs. After all, dead creatures naturally cannot Will die again."
Dwarf: "Then you can give it to one of us. It will at least make you immune to a nine-ring spell."
Barbarian: "High!"
The dwarf was about to continue talking when the barbarian pointed forward and shouted: "Front!"
The dwarf then turned his head: "Oh, we are here. This is the dwarf city of Minos. Let me come down. We should walk into the city, because most of the buildings in the city are very short. You ride in and be careful to meet each other."
Everyone looked at each other and dismounted together.
**
As soon as they entered the city, someone shouted: "Flint! You bastard! You still owe nineteen gold coins!"
The dwarf who spoke stood at the door of a store at the entrance to the city, holding a large spoon for sprinkling water and a bucket at his feet.
Flint: "Old Louis! Why are you still spraying water when the army is besieging the city?"
"What can we do if we don't sprinkle water? Anyway, the orcs will be blocked by Minos' high wall this time. The nobles are rushing to buy the scrolls like crazy, because they are afraid of death. Look, everyone, is anyone in a hurry?"
Wang: "From my observation, there are still many people who are very nervous."
"Hahaha," Old Louis laughed, "Humans are short-lived after all. Even humans, the older ones are very calm. And look at us dwarves!"
Old Louis pursed his lips.
Wang Chao looked in the direction of his mouth and saw a group of dwarves sitting under a pavilion on the roadside playing cards. Everyone had beer in front of them.
He asked in surprise: "Wait a minute, the enemy is facing us, why are the dwarf craftsmen so idle? Shouldn't they step up their efforts to manufacture and maintain equipment?"
Old Louis: "That is our usual job. We are not like humans who sharpen their guns before the battle. All the trebuchets and ballistae on the Minoan city walls are well maintained. As for adding arrow shields to the battlements, or preparing rolling logs and oil pans , there is no need for dwarves to do this kind of work.”
Xiaobai: "Is it because your legs are short and it's inconvenient for you to do it?"
As soon as the words came out, the dwarfs playing cards next door immediately stopped making noise and looked over together.
Then an impatient dwarf immediately shouted: "Aren't you also a short winter melon?"
Xiaobai suddenly turned into a giant wolf, as tall as several dwarves.
The wolf grinned and stuck out its tongue like a dog.
Dwarf: "Transformation doesn't count! I can reach this high even with the human giant transformation technique!"
Wang: "Probably not. The human giant transformation technique can only increase the body size by one size. It is a bit difficult to become taller than Xiaobai."
Several dwarves slammed the cards on the table, stood up from their chairs, and picked up the hammers at hand.
Flint hurriedly advised: "We are facing a powerful enemy, so don't hurt your friendship!"
Old Louis: "Then you still owe nineteen gold coins. It's been almost ten years, right? I thought you were probably dead."
Flint: "I'll pay it back right away!"
After speaking, he looked at Wang eagerly.
Wang took out the dimensional bag.
All the dwarves gasped together.
"Could this be it!" Old Louis' hands were shaking, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, "Infinite dimensional bag? It's not a good idea to use this to pay off the bill, isn't it?"
Flint: "How is it possible to use this to pay off the bill! Do you think someone with a bag like this will lose 19 gold coins from you?"
Wang put his hand into the bag and pulled it out at once. There was exactly ten gold coins in his palm.
He gave these gold coins to the dwarf and took out nine more.
Old Louis clicked: "It's indeed nineteen gold coins, Flint, our account has been settled. So what are you here for? Just pay back the money?"
Flint: "No, we have two things. The first is to find a magic weaver."
Dwarves are not called tailors, they are called weavers. In short, in the world view of dwarves, all craftsmen are craftsmen.
Old Louis: "Have you forgotten what I do? Just look for me!"
"Come on, you're a brewer!"
"I also know how to knit with some magic. I even knitted a magic scarf that makes you feel warm when you put it around your neck!"
"Oh," Flint shook his head, "I'm afraid that's a bit far from the skills we need."
"You want to fix something?" Old Louie asked.
The king had already taken out the fragments from the sleeve of the Lich's robe: "We want to repair this robe."
Old Louis gasped: “Then you can only go to Jenny’s shop.”
