Chapter 1399 Leah
After separating from Rhodes and his party, Rowling seemed to think of something. The joy she felt at the recovery of Rhodes' figure instantly turned into bursts of worry.
After explaining the orders from Rhodes to the president of the potion guild, Rowling came to a corner of the city, and saw Leah's figure in a room guarded by a group of corpse witches.
Looking at Leah, who was thin in the room and only had a protruding abdomen, Rowling's face showed unstoppable worry.
Seeing Rowling's arrival, Leah frowned, but she still got up and greeted, "Lord Rowling."
"We brought North back, and he is now locked in a dungeon in the city." Rowling sighed.
When she heard Rowling's first half sentence, Leah's joy that she had just shown was immediately washed away by the second half of the message: "Why did you treat him like this...I'm going to see him..."
Rowling hurriedly explained: "You can't go see him, his consciousness is occupied by an ancient lich, and he is no longer the original him."
"Then what should I do..." Liya asked absently.
"There is still a part of consciousness remaining in his mind. As long as he is awakened, there is still a chance to break free from the control of the Lich." Rowling said slowly, "My brother told me that North has the potential to become a hero. His will is extremely strong, as long as his will can be awakened, he will be able to wake up."
Liya asked, as if she had some hope, "How can I awaken his will?"
Seeing Leah looking at her like this, Rowling shook her head tremblingly: "I don't know... There has never been an accurate answer to this kind of thing, but I think the key to awakening him should be related to you."
"Is it related to me?" Leah asked anxiously.
Rowling nodded: "When your name was mentioned, North's will was touched, causing the Lich to lose control of his body for a short time. I think his consciousness still remembers everything before, and he wants to wake him up. I must have your help."
"In this case, why don't you let me see him? Why don't you let me try?" Liya asked painfully.
"No... my brother issued an order to seal the depths of the dungeon, and no one is allowed to come into contact with him, not even approaching him." Rowling explained, "I don't know what other tricks that lich has. If you get close, you may be killed by him, and there is no possibility of waking North up again."
Liya felt lost for a while, then lowered her head deeply.
Rowling couldn't bear it, but she still said: "...Did he give you any tokens? I think these tokens should help wake him up."
Hearing what Rowling said, Leah seemed to think of something, she got up and tried to take something out of the side cabinet, seeing this, Rowling hurried forward, and took out the things in the cabinet for Leah.
What Rowling held in her hands was a manuscript and several bottles of sealed potions. I don't know how long they had been left here.
Perhaps because of frequent cleaning, there is no dust accumulated on the surface of these things.
Rowling quickly checked the manuscript, and found that all the records on it were refining records related to manipulating spirit potions, and outsiders without knowledge of potions could not understand them at all.
"North left in a hurry, and was taken away by Lord Rhodes without even saying goodbye." Leah sighed, "These are the research records I found when I checked his room, and the records were not completed. I wanted to put it away for him to see if he needed it in the future, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”
Rowling didn't know how to comfort Leah in front of her. After pursing her lips, she put the manuscript and potion into the space ring, and prepared to send these things to the dungeon.
"One more thing..." Rowling was about to leave when Leah suddenly stopped her, "Ask me if he has decided on his child's name."
Rowling turned her head abruptly, looked at Leah behind her, and finally said nothing, leaving Leah's room silently.
Rowling sighed deeply after coming out of the room until she could no longer see Leah's figure.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Rowling's question,
Destined not to be answered. There are some things that even real heroes don't know how to deal with.
Rowling jumped over the blocking guards, went straight to the deepest part of the dungeon, and stood in front of the imprisoned Erich.
"It's you?" Erich said in a deep voice, "It seems that you have recovered with the fountain of life, otherwise you would not have appeared in front of me in this form."
Under the effect of the domain of the dead, the flesh and blood on Rowling's body no longer existed, and turned into the form of a skeleton.
"Do you recognize these?" As she said, Rowling put the manuscript and potion she got from Leah into the prison.
"The potion for manipulating the mind..." Erich said with disdain after simply flipping through the manuscript, "It's a pity that a real lich will never lack the manipulating spirit, and there is no need for the help of potions."
Erich closed his eyes, slowly pushed the potion back, and said, "Take them away, I don't need these."
Rowling shook her head: "This is the potion you developed, or rather, it was you."
Erich was unmoved: "Are you talking about North? It has nothing to do with me now."
Rowling frowned, and scolded Erich: "Do you remember Leah? She is still waiting for you in the city. She asked me to ask you if you have decided on your child's name! North, wake up Wake up, don't let the lich's will take your body away..."
Under Rowling's affectionate persuasion, Erich remained silent, and a special emotion flashed in his eyes.
Rowling just thought her persuasion worked, but only heard the blond man sneer: "I said, I am Erich, the great revealer of the dead, the immortal ruler of Diya, not the weak and pitiful Nuo Si! Your words are destined to have no effect."
Rowling was silent, unable to say anything, and finally left slowly from the dungeon.
Following Rowling's departure, the entire dungeon fell into silence again. After an unknown amount of time, footsteps came from afar.
"Aisha." Seeing the figure appearing here, Erich's expression turned cold, "Why did you betray me?"
"To be honest, I don't like you now." The woman with long black hair said slowly.
"Aisha, our agreement is still valid." Erich stood up and said slowly, "As long as you release me, after I recover all my strength, I will rule Diya and become the king of the kingdom of the dead, and you will become the king of the kingdom of the dead. My queen, with a human body, enjoys all the glory."
Aisha didn't say much, and slowly sat down on the ground outside the prison: "I prefer the former North, and I hope he can come back."
"North, North." The blond man scolded angrily, "Why do you all care so much about that weak necromancer, why am I not stronger than him?"
"North is dead. I, the great revealer of dead souls, will one day rule Landdia." Erich said in a deep voice.
"It seems that you won't understand." Aisha sighed, "That's fine, I will stay with you in my human body until the end of the world."
