5. Fat Lich Owo (Part 1)
. "What is the end of a normal life? It is the coldness of several epochs, the walking corpse, the twisted consciousness with only one thought: the hunger for living things!"
This is an explanation of the "undead creatures" by an ancient necromancer. This is a group of lives that are clearly dead but "living" through the power of magic because of their strong obsession. These "creatures" that exist in the world by relying on strong will, but are dead but still alive. Since the emergence of magic by intelligent creatures, they have been entangled in people and have written a strong mark in the history of this world.
The undead creatures are also divided into many levels. Most of them are just walking dead without self-consciousness, with only the strongest exceptions of the three types of undead creatures, such as mummies, vampires, and lichs. Among them, the lich who gave up * is even more the king of undead creatures.
To become a lich, powerful magic is the most basic premise. After that, he had endless time to study magic. Therefore, lichs are usually first-class magicians, and their personalities are generally evil and weird due to long-term negative energy erosion from maintaining their bodies. They were once ranked among the two worst things in the world with the evil dragon, and were constantly exaggerated under the artistic processing of bards, and finally they reached an incredible level.
In distant legends, most lichs hide in abandoned castles, deep tombs or frozen mountains, and use strange means such as living people to put them in a pot to study evil magic. At the same time, they are still in dark and humid, crawling with cows and rats, daydreaming of so-called dominance of the world, as if the street tramps came out of the sewer of "I want to be a high-ranking official".
In order to turn daydreams into reality, they constantly create zombie crazes, soul-devouring winds and other terrifying events, and from time to time they bring large numbers of dark creatures to the scene. Strangely, all attacks are usually done briefly, always giving victims the opportunity to search for "justice courage" all over the world, and even searching for decades. They are so kind that they are completely incompatible with the evil character of the lich. And they also make the location of their base very idiotically known, and they look like "Come and beat me".
Of course, these terrorist attacks are just side jobs of the lich, and their main job is to act as a villain. The brave men who emerged from some ghost place in their own nests kept pkating. Strangely, the powerful king team or church armed forces could not deal with the lich, but they often defeated the risk of a few rookies who had not grown hair, and were eventually stepped on by the "heroes of justice" in these legendary novels and brought to those rescued villages or kingdoms, becoming an important basis for beauties to throw themselves into their arms and the wealthy to spend their family property.
However, it was all the old almanac from a long time ago!
In this era, lichs no longer need to hide in deserted ghost places. Instead, they can live in the city openly. They have to work and earn money, pay taxes by law, embezzle and accept bribes, and be caught by usury debt collection to heaven and have no way out, and if they commit crimes, they will be stuffed into the forbidden demon prison. If they want to go into politics, they have to work hard to exercise their skills of talking to voters, and they must also cover up the skeletons that are unpredictable and dress up like a person using transfiguration techniques. Otherwise, they will not be able to win votes.
The current CEO of the Neseril Empire, Gan Melier, is such a politician lich. Not only did he find a way to get himself a beautiful and slender figure. In terms of debate and speech level, even Prince Cialique would be at a disadvantage. A large number of lawyers and people who are interested in politics competed to worship him as their teacher, he also published many monographs on speaking skills and current affairs. However, he was busy talking and writing books all day long, and had to deal with imperial government affairs. He really had no time to conduct any magic research. It is said that he had regressed to the point where he could not even use fireball techniques.
The fat old man in front of him obviously had no signs of life, but he was still able to speak and his thinking was clear. No matter how he looked, he looked like an undead creature. Since he did not have sharp fangs and had a more human-like appearance, his eyes flashed with red light unique to the lich, so the old man's identity was easy to judge.
"This old man is probably a lich who is doing a miserable and decent job."
Feili sat on the tiled floor, staring at the fat old man in the ice mattress, making his own judgment on the species division of this guy. But he still couldn't understand why the great arcane was trapped in his bathtub!
What is the Great Arcane? He is the king of the magician, the incarnation of wisdom and ability! It is understandable that a few mentally retarded lichs appear occasionally, but it is probably a mistake when they are transformed. However, it is really difficult to understand that the mentally retarded great arccane appears.
In order to accommodate the top figures from all over the world, the standard students of the Great Arcane Masters have been declining again and again. But no matter how the standards are lowered, the idiots who freeze themselves into the bathtub cannot be mixed in.
Moreover, this place doesn’t look like a forbidden demon prison, so the fat old man in the bathtub is not a dangerous prisoner who is imprisoned. So why does he act like such a funny look? Performance art? Or mental illness?
"Hey, old man, are you really a great arcane? You must not have stolen this dress!" Feili reached out and poked the old man's fat face, but now it was soft, not the hard zombie I imagined.
"Stop, you rude guy!" The old man was obviously a little angry, and the fat on his face kept stopping, "You actually suspect that the great, omnipotent great arcane Mr. Owo is a thief? You are a serious crime, slandering my Owo's reputation, and slandering a great arcane is slandering the Senate, the Empire, and the entire magic world..."
Although the fat old man kept squirting in the ice bathtub for a long time, raising Feili's words and deeds to the level of rebellion of the party and the country, Feili obviously only noticed the first sentence.
"Wait, old man, what did you say you're called? Owo?"
"Little guy, don't you know how rude it is to interrupt the senior? In addition, you should call me the great arcane Mr. Owo!" The fat old man who was interrupted was very unhappy and tried hard to look very majestic. Unfortunately, he was not worthy of the towel on his head, which only reminded Feili of the emperor's new outfit.
"The shame among the great arcane, the scum among the undead, the public enemy of women all over the world?" Feiri resisted the urge to laugh, and her face twisted out a series of words full of personal attacks.
"It was the bastard who lacked art cells who gave me so many ugly nicknames. This is an insult to the great Mr. Owo! I want to sue him for slander! Sue him for infringement of his personal reputation! Sue him..."
I understand, you are the shameless old man who likes to take a bath. Feili ignored Owo, who was still clamoring in the frozen bathtub, and finally couldn't help laughing loudly, laughing until his whole body was soft and he lay on the ground weakly.

Generally speaking, great arcanes are academic authorities with major innovations in magic research, and are also very important figures on the imperial political stage. These people are knowledgeable, rich in experience, strong sense of responsibility and honor, and usually show a very deep and majestic leader style to the outside world. Even those who are just making up for the numbers have been trying to get closer to such an image, even more like those real-life great arcanes, otherwise it will be difficult to get the recognition of the people.
However, when the forest is big, there will be any kind of bird. There are more great arcanes, and there are also a few very unique guys. Owo is the most representative of them. His behavior is ridiculous. Even the members of the punk band on Earth can only accept the disadvantage.
Speaking of which, Owo was not so unique from the beginning. Among the magicians around the world, he was quite old. He was one of the few ancient great arcanes who survived the First Empire of Naserel, and was also the first-class undead and powerful lich. He has always been famous for his cutting-edge technology of "life and death transformation". In the First Empire, Owo looked similar to other great arcanes who were dedicated to researching, focusing on his own subjects. Apart from his favorite experiments with students and killing many people, there was nothing surprising.
During the long years from the demise of the First Empire to the establishment of the Second Empire, Owo always lived in seclusion in the nest he had built secretly, studying magical knowledge, which was unknown. When Yinhun City just returned to the main material world, he also inquired about his news, but found nothing. Everyone thought he was finished when the empire was destroyed, so they gradually stopped going.
It was not until the end of the First Continental War and after Emperor Terramante Tanshul died, he suddenly appeared again and ran to the capital of the Naseril Empire, and asked the imperial government for office at that time to be an official. Everyone saw that he was experienced and knowledgeable, and the then imperial chief, and another great arcane, Ravok, who survived the First Empire era, said a lot of good things for him. So Owo entered the Imperial Senate very smoothly, presided over the magic research work, and assigned him a small floating city as a residence, which was very glorious for a while.
However, many years later, everyone, including Lavok, regretted the decision to take in Owo, because this fat man lost all the faces of the Great Arcane, the Imperial Senate, and the entire Naserel Empire!
