Chapter 25: The Lich and the Dragon (2)(1/2)

Brutu looked at Andrew, and the soul fire in his eyes was burning. There was a faint cloud around him. Combined with the shriveled bones, the picture was creepy.

Andrew's expression froze, holding his breath, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

There was silence around.

A breeze blew, lowering the sparse and yellow weeds around.

You have to ask what is in Andrew's mind at this moment? This is more complicated.

When he saw Brutu for the first time, his mind was blank and he was stuck. After a brief silence, his first reaction was to escape. However, he soon felt the powerful magic pressure on the other party.

This is not Gray, this is an extremely powerful lich. The feeling of pressure is even many times stronger than Andrevich.

No need to think about it, he knew that he could not escape no matter what.

Then what? Then what else can he think? Of course, his mind continued to be blank. His legs began to become weak unconsciously.

Just when Andrew had basically concluded that he was dead and had no plans to escape, something strange happened.

Brutu tilted his skull slightly, and the soul fire in his eyes turned into two question marks.

"Huh, what does this mean?"

Before Andrew could figure it out, the little orc standing next to him was already screaming. Then, he turned around and ran away and ran away desperately.

Well, this is the most normal manifestation of seeing a lich.

At the same time, maybe it was impacted by Turu's scream. Andrew opened his eyes wide, his legs became weak, and he sat on the ground in one go.

"Hey, you don't need to be afraid of me! I am a righteous lich! Have you ever heard of the Holy Light of the Bone?" Brutu shouted quickly: "I'm just going to ask you the way!"

After this sentence, Andrew was stunned.

What's the situation? The other party didn't recognize him?

Well... this is a question that is actually quite simple, but must be answered from two dimensions.

First from Andrew's perspective.

Has Grey issued a wanted order for Andrew? Yes. Is Andrew the number one wanted criminal in the Bone Light Vatican? That's right. And not only that, Andrew is also the only wanted criminal in the Bone Light Vatican. Yes, the only one.

According to normal understanding, Gray must be desperate and looking for him all over the world. Once he is caught, Andrew's fate will definitely not be good.

Andrew thought so too.

However, the fact may not be so. Gray has never wanted anyone. He wanted someone, and his original intention may be "retrieving him back" and not "what to do to him". Moreover, this person is actually not very important, but just remembering that he should be retrieved. The reason why he is number one is not because Andrew is so important, but because he is the only one looking for... The situation is similar to that you haven't eaten sweet dates for a long time, and suddenly remembering them, so you said, "I want to eat sweet dates." Yes, you did say that this is the only thing you wanted to eat at that time. But this does not mean that you would tell them to everyone: "Help me find sweet dates." It does not mean that you are willing to pay for the price to eat sweet dates. Maybe... you forget after you say that, after all, you have something more important.

To put it simply,... Andrew overestimated his importance.

Another angle is from the perspective of Brutu.

Does Brutu know Andrew?

I definitely know.

Where did you know?

From there, the Lich Council began to follow the Silver Moon Knights, starting from Black Dragon City. Andrew had already separated before Grey entered Black Dragon City. He and Jones and Dora were left at Mount Azrant together. Even if Andrew defected later, Grey knew from Jones. After leaving Mount Azrant, Grey never saw Andrew again. Brutu, of course, he had never seen him.

As for Brutu, does he know that Gray is wanting an elf named Andrew?

Maybe you know, or you don’t know, and someone might tell him, but he has forgotten it. After all, who would remember the name of a minion for nothing?

This is a normal reaction, right? Even if a reader has not appeared in two volumes of a character, at least half of them have forgotten who this guy is. Well, from this point of view, Brutu is obviously a qualified reader. As for Andrew... well, he is obviously an unimportant role in the Silver Moon Knights, and his status is lower than Jones.

So, the current scene appeared.

Brutu felt that the other party's fear was a normal reaction, after all, it was not the first time he was scared.

As for Andrew... he was as smart as Andrew, he quickly thought it through. Although he found out that he was not important and was hurt by being completely worried before, at least the current situation is a good thing.

After a brief silence, the little orc Turu, who had already run away for a distance, ran back, trying to pull Andrew away. Andrew grabbed him, took deep breaths, looked at Brutu and said, "Don't be afraid, he is from the Holy Light of the White Bone, and must be a good person!"

When he heard this, the little orc was stunned. Brutuze smirked: "Of course, I must be a good person. Elf, I admire you very much, you have a good vision. So, have you ever seen a dragon?"

As he said, Brutu opened his jaw slightly, his eyes fro between Andrew and the trembling little orc.

Andrew was already sweating profusely, and was still holding up a smile and asked, "Do you want to find a dragon?"

"Yes, a golden dragon."

"Golden Dragon? Not a Green Dragon?"

"No, no, no, it's not a green dragon. I'm very sure what I'm looking for is a golden dragon. A group of orcs said they saw the golden dragon. Then again, why did you suddenly say the green dragon? There are green dragons nearby?" Brutu's eyes began to glow.

"Uh..." Andrew's mouth twitched slightly: "What are you doing when you look for dragons?"

"In the name of justice... let him donate a little money. You know, dragons are very rich."

"You mean... robbery?"

"Yes, that's right. Oh no, no no no, no no, not that, did I say the word 'robbery'?"

"You didn't say it."

"Yes, I didn't say it, so it's not robbery. How can a just thing be called robbery? I mean, I hope they sponsor a just cause. In short, that's it, you know." Brutu said seriously: "If you introduce it to me, I can give you a little commission. Of course, it's just a little bit, after all, our just cause is also very expensive."

Andrew slowly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat. Although he didn't understand why the Lich wanted money, at least from the current situation, the crisis was lifted.

Oh, not only is the crisis lifted, but it also has a strong help. A bold idea appeared in Andrew's mind.

"There is indeed a green dragon nearby, but she is poor and not suitable for robbery, oh no, I mean, not suitable for sponsoring a just cause."

"That's a pity." Brutu spread his hands helplessly: "Of course, I am still willing to give her blessings from the Holy Light of the Bone, after all, we are fraternal."

Andrew became nervous: "What you mean by 'blessing' means..."

Brutu shrugged and said indifferently: "It is true blessing. Pray, baptism, and then another word of thanks, probably that's it."

"Oh." Andrew's heart was relieved. Now he was very sure that this was a lich who wanted money. So he lowered his voice and said, "There are three golden dragons nearby."

"Three heads?" Brutu was stunned.

"Yes, three heads, not one of you." Andrew said seriously: "They are nearby and have been there all these days. But I'm not sure if you can beat the three heads of Golden Dragon. After all, they don't seem to support the cause of justice, and you may need to 'influence' them."

Brutu raised his head and thought for a while, then said, "I have two companions, I can call one over."

"Why just shout one?"

"Because I don't want to share money with two people. Hahaha..."

...

The clear and transparent but dark bottom of the lake, Christina stayed quietly, her long golden hair floated slightly with the lake water. She was so bored that she started playing with scissors and stone cloth with her left hand and her right hand. She laughed from time to time, and looked up from time to time, hoping that Andrew would appear.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind: "Andrevich--! I know you are here! Get out of here immediately!"

Christina was shocked.

...

Also shocked were more than ten kilometers away searching for Christina's two golden dragons.

In amazement, they slowly faded away the protective color on their bodies and showed their original appearance.

"Who is this? It's not Christina's voice." As he said, the stronger and larger golden dragon looked at Andrevich on the side.

Andrevich was stunned: "I don't know, I've never heard of this sound before. It sounds like a lich, a very shriveled sound."

"Go and take a look." As he said that, the golden dragon with a larger body had turned around.

...

"As long as you shout like this, he will come over? Are you sure?" Brutu, standing on the top of the rock, asked Andrew.

"Yes, I promise. The golden dragon will come soon. You can let them sponsor the cause of justice as much as you like." Andrew said, and he had already turned over and climbed down the rock.

"I thought he would hide from us, but it turned out that he would come out just by shouting?" Simon, who took off his helmet, reached out and touched his bare skull, looking at Andrew who was running fast.

"Who knows, you won't suffer any loss if you shout it."

...

"Quick! Let's leave here quickly!" Andrew grabbed the still confused orc from the ground, carried it onto his shoulders, and then ran towards the oasis.

...

"At the end, how big is the range of your mental shock just now?"

"A hundred kilometers, what's wrong?"

"Eckreon may hear it, he is in this range."

"No, he won't hear it. I've blocked him especially. Hahaha. It's just us who are apart, I don't want a third person. Think about the scene where we two appeared on the battlefield with the entire undead legion wearing silver moon armor, let him envy it!"

"Gagahaha! This is a really good idea. If there are not three golden dragons, but only one, are you not going to tell me?"

"No, don't think so, my brother Simon. I will notify you as soon as possible after finishing my work and invite you to be the first to visit my Knights."

"So you still don't plan to give it to me? I'll know!"

...

In the sky, two golden dragons were flying slowly towards the direction of the sound, and faintly, they had some unknown premonition.
