Chapter 2212 What Is the Essence of the World
In the corner of the tavern, a figure in a black robe sat quietly, with a glass of amber wine in his hand.
The face was covered by shadow energy, completely hidden in the darkness, the limbs exposed outside the black robe were all wrapped in white bandages, and the whole body carried a strange aura.
When Luo Chuan saw this figure, he almost guessed her identity.
A member of the Council of Elders, the owner of the Dead Woodland, a powerful lich - Elizabeth.
"Boss, Elizabeth seems to have something to do with you." Giant Axe patted Luo Chuan on the arm as he passed by, "I think you should go and see, she's not very good-tempered."
In the entire Council of Elders, Elizabeth's character is one of the most irascible.
Coupled with her strong strength, basically no one would be idle to provoke her. After all, behind Elizabeth, there are still the undead of the entire Dead Woodland.
Not to mention that when the natural disaster happened a few years ago, it injected a lot of new power into the Dead Woodland.
"Well, Xiaoyan told me." Luo Chuan nodded and walked in the direction of Elizabeth.
Xu is due to knowing Elizabeth's identity, coupled with the cold atmosphere that strangers should not be near, the surrounding area has become a restricted area in a sense.
Luo Chuan naturally didn't care about this, and sat down opposite Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth."
Elizabeth raised a glass to Luo Chuan, and then put it to her mouth.
The veil made of shadow energy disappeared, revealing the lower face. The white skeleton was quite eye-catching, and the blue soul fire burned in the eye socket.
How should I put it, Luo Chuan just felt a little curious.
He had only seen the lich creature in the game, and it was the first time he had seen it in reality, and it was much more oppressive than the game.
Of course, it was of no use to him.
"Luo Chuan." Luo Chuan also briefly introduced himself, he smiled, "Of course, you can call me the boss directly like them."
In Yuanyuan Mall, maybe many customers don't even know Luo Chuan's name, they only know that he is the boss.
The Hearthstone Tavern seems to be the same, and almost none of the dwarven customers call him by name.
Speaking of which, it seems that only Yao Ziyan was called directly by his name.
Well, forget it, I don't want that much.
Luo Chuan quickly put these thoughts behind him.
"Boss..." Elizabeth nodded lightly after pondering for a while, "I see."
Luo Chuan took out a bottle of fruit wine, opened it and took a sip.
Originally, he wanted to drink Coke, but considering that the Hearthstone Tavern does not sell this product yet, he can only exchange it for fruit wine for the time being.
The soulful fire in Elizabeth's eyes stared at the bottle in Luo Chuan's hand. She didn't realize where Luo Chuan took it from, and there was no place for the other party's clothes.
This can only explain one truth, either the opponent's strength is far beyond the scope of what she can explore, or...
...
[Ah, by the way, according to the information I got, if there is no accident, the real identity of the owner of the Hearthstone Tavern should be an outsider]
...
The words of King Gulas emerged in Elizabeth's ears.
outsider.
Elizabeth is no stranger to this name, and she deliberately touched it when she first knew it.
Specifically, waiting in the forest for them to hunt and kill monsters, or perform other dangerous missions. Deaths and injuries are common during this process. When she takes the corpse back and turns it into an undead, many doubts will naturally be answered.
Even if the soul dissipates, the memory remaining in the body is enough to support it.
But what...
What Elizabeth couldn't understand was that even if these outsiders died, they would not leave any corpses behind.
When night falls, it disappears like a phantom.
In other words, it's like... it doesn't exist in this world at all, but is the product of the confusion between fantasy and reality!
"Then, boss, why did you open a tavern here?" Elizabeth asked the question that had been in her heart since she first knew about Hearthstone Tavern.
"Why open a tavern?" Luo Chuan took a sip of fruit wine, "Does this need a reason? If you insist, it's just pure interest."
"interest?"
"That's right, just like you Liches always like to study all kinds of lost knowledge, dwarves like to dig into the ground to dig, mages like to do all kinds of deadly behaviors, and my hobby is to open a shop and be a boss." Luo Chuan went on to the end. 's summary, "An ordinary boss with an interest."
"Interested... Ordinary boss?"
Elizabeth whispered softly, pausing slightly in the middle, apparently not understanding the description of "ordinary".
But she didn't ask much.
"Well." Luo Chuan nodded, he always called himself that.
Just like when Anweiya asked this before, he also said the same.
Elizabeth let out a light breath (she doesn't need to breathe after becoming a lich, so it's just a formality), she decided not to worry about this apparently strange topic, and her eyes fell on the wine glass in her hand, compared to the others This is what she cares most about.
"There is one last question." Elizabeth drank the last of the wine in the cup, and even the last drop was wrapped in magic and sent into the mouth. Only after she could not taste the taste of the food would she understand how precious delicious food is. The gift, "Why can the things in the boss's shop be eaten by the undead?"
Why can she taste the taste of Wangyou wine?
This is the question Elizabeth wants to figure out the most.
Undead can't eat food, and they won't digest it in the normal way. Of course, a very small number of undead still have this ability, but that is a special case.
Obviously, it is beyond the ordinary concept that the liquor in the Hearthstone Tavern can be eaten by a lich with a skeleton body.
Luo Chuan was not surprised by Elizabeth's question, Yao Ziyan had already told him about it.
"How do you say it?" Luo Chuan touched his chin, then stretched out a finger and shook it, "Do you know the essence of the world?"
"The essence of the world?"
The fire of the soul in Elizabeth's eyes twitched a few times. Luo Chuan's extremely jumpy topic made her a little bit unable to keep up with it for a while, but the Lich Lord still answered the question seriously.
"In the past, I felt that the world was made of energy, and the most obvious manifestation of it was the magic that filled the world."
Elizabeth's words reminded Luo Chuan of the answer given by the latter when he asked Wang Gulas before, and he also gave this answer - the essence of the world is energy.
