Chapter 1038 Catherine 2
The latest website: Hearing these words from Asri, not only Catherine on the Skeleton Throne and the people around him were shocked, even North beside Asri was also stunned for a moment for a moment.
The meaning of Asri's words can be clearly heard by any creature in the field. The necromancer holding the two artifacts is exactly North beside him. North himself also understands this.
What puzzled North was that Ashri's words at this time were different from what those liches had discussed at the beginning.
In North's view, if King Diya is eligible to join the Lich Gathering, he should obviously know his true identity, but it is just to attract the attention of the enemy, the declared holder of the artifact, not the real holder . The real artifact holder should be Master Rhodes.
Before that, North originally thought that Asriel would at least tell King Catherine his true identity. As a king, he should also know this. in the eyes.
At this time, according to Asri, she obviously didn't want to tell anyone here this information, but chose to hide them all, and directly let North show herself as the holder of the artifact.
In this way, only real liches know the real situation of the artifact, and everyone else, including King Diya, will only think that North is the holder of the artifact, which can confuse the enemy's intelligence very well, which is beneficial The battle goes on, but at the cost that North will be in greater danger than before.
North himself, of course, has no way to refute the words of the Lich. Whether it is the difference in identity or strength, North dare not have any resistance, and can only behave according to what Asri said.
The previous conversation in the quiet room also made North realize that Ashley did not make such a decision randomly. She was willing to tell the truth about the history of the Diya royal family, and naturally hoped that she could live longer , will not let oneself die at will.
Obviously, the choice made by Asri has her own thoughts. Although North doesn't understand why, she can only act according to the words of this lich.
There was a little panic in his heart. In order to prevent this from being seen by other creatures, North could only sink his face completely, and faced other creatures in the field with a gloomy expression, just like the most common vigilance of necromancers. .
Seeing North's expression in his eyes, all the creatures in the field naturally had different thoughts in their hearts.
By sensing the death energy on Noth, other creatures in the field can't really see that the artifact holder in Asri's mouth,
What is so special about it.
"I don't believe that he is the holder of the artifact, unless he can show the power of the artifact in front of me."
It was not Catherine on the throne who said these words, but the human man beside him.
From Catherine's eyes, the human man got such a hint, understood the meaning of the king, and immediately raised his doubts to Asri.
Just after Ashley announced North's identity, the human man's words like this are undoubtedly a deep offense to Ashley, just like questioning the authority of a lich. If other liches raise doubts, It may not be a big deal, but it is a kind of disrespect for Diya's necromancer to propose at this time.
Perhaps knowing this, Catherine did not dare to inquire in person, and could only ask his subordinates to say these words on his behalf.
Feeling the offensive meaning in the human man's words, Ashri said coldly.
"I'm talking to the king of Diya, which round will someone else interrupt?"
A chill spread in the palace, and even North, who was at the side, could feel it deeply. Accompanied by the rapid concentration of death energy, Ashri's voice came out slowly.
"Punishment."
As he spoke, Asri raised his hand, and a black mist made of death energy instantly enveloped the questioning man in front of him.
A painful howl came from the black mist. Perhaps it was due to consideration that in the royal palace, the deliberately low tone could not alleviate the heart-piercing feeling in it at all. Just listening to the roar, other creatures in the field can feel the pain that the man endured.
The black mist lasted for a long time, until the man in it could hardly even scream, and then Ashley waved his hand again, dispelling the casting of the spell.
As the black mist dissipated, the man's figure reappeared in the eyes of all creatures in the field.
The formerly burly man, after enduring the envelopment of the black mist, was covered with traces left by the erosion of death energy. There was not a single intact part of his body, and a large number of festering traces made his skin become rotten. It was grayish brown, and it looked as if a half-rotten corpse had been forcibly transformed into a walking corpse, and the face of a living creature could not be seen.
Seeing the tragic situation of the man at this time, North was startled. He never expected that Ashley, who was kind to himself along the way and answered his questions many times, would be so offended by a single sentence. This kind of punishment was given to the man just now.
After witnessing the tragic situation of this man with his own eyes, North seemed to begin to understand where the prestige of those liches in Diya came from.
Recalling what he saw at the Lich Gathering, in North's memory, Rhodes at that time was not so polite to the Lich, but he was not punished by the Lich at all. Rhodes has a new understanding.
After dispelling the black mist, Ashri's words came out again: "I didn't deprive you of vitality, but just destroyed the original structure of your body and let it suffer from the erosion of death energy. The pain you endure also comes from This is the punishment for your offense."
Looking at the man who was eroded by death energy and saying these words, Ashley's expression did not change at all, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
"After offending the Lich, you can still leave a life, even without any loss of life force, this is already a gift from the Lich to you, Strike, get up quickly, thank the Lich for giving you this painting appearance."
Catherine's words resounded in the field, and for some reason, North felt that he could feel a burst of anger from it.
Kneeling half-kneeling on the ground and supporting his body, Strik did not reply, as if the previous erosion of death energy had taken away a lot of his energy.
Hearing Catherine's words, Asri turned his head and looked at the Diya king.
