Doomsday Code

Chapter 730 The Damned Lich

At dawn, Sheli walked in from outside the yard and saw the magic circle painted in the yard and Chen Cheng sitting at the stone table in a daze.

"Lord."

Hearing Sheli's voice, Chen Cheng came back to his senses. Then he stood up and stretched, and saw that it was already bright outside.

"Wait a moment. I'll go wash up and see Elder Herlous later."

He thought about it for a long time last night. Although he knew that the things in the last ring were all good things, he still wanted to show the things to Herlous when he thought about the inexplicable appetite he had when he opened the box.

If it's of no use to him, you can just send it to Herlous to deal with.

After washing up, the two asked the servants in the mansion to come to the courtyard where Melos was.

After knocking on the door, Herlous waved and opened it.

"I'm visiting you so early in the morning, Elder. Please don't blame me for disturbing your sweet dreams."

Melos had already washed and dressed and was sitting on a chair in the yard. Three breakfasts were already placed opposite her. It seemed as if she knew that Chen Cheng and the others were coming to see her.

"It seems that the elders have already guessed that I would come."

"Please take a seat."

Chen Cheng nodded, and then sat down with Sheli.

"Breakfast, please."

Chen Cheng picked up the breakfast, looked at it, and said with a smile:

"I know without even trying it, this must be your cooking, Elder. After all, some of the ingredients for this breakfast are not available here."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

After finishing his breakfast, Herlous waved his hand to put away the dishes, and then called for a pot of hot tea to be poured for the two of them.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Chen Cheng let out a long breath.

Then he took out the red space ring.

"I think the elder must have discovered something last night. I wonder if the elder can help me solve this mystery."

Chen Cheng handed the ring to Herlous and released his spiritual imprint on the ring, allowing Melinda to open the ring and take out the item.

Herlous took the ring, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he studied the ring in his hand and said:

"Sir, do you know that this space ring can only be made by the dwarves in the entire continent, and each space ring has its own origin and heritage."

Chen Cheng didn't know why Herlous said this, but he thought it had something to do with the ring.

So Chen Cheng did not interrupt, but listened to Melos's next words.

"And this ring, or rather, including the remaining two, these three rings have never appeared in the manual of space rings made by the dwarves."

"Legend has it that the dwarves mastered the forging of these space rings because their ancestors once obtained a ring from outer space, and within that ring lies the greatest secret of the dwarven weapon masters."

Having said that, Herlous returned the ring to Chen Cheng.

"So, sir, please keep these rings and don't give them to outsiders."

Chen Cheng finally understood that the three rings he touched on the corpse were most likely the same ring obtained by the dwarf ancestors, and were alien objects.

However, Chen Cheng was still somewhat puzzled:

"Although I understand what you mean, Elder, how did you make that judgment? Could it be that these three are inferior products made by the dwarves, and therefore not included in that manual?"

However, Herlous smiled upon hearing his words and said:

"Young Master, you may not have truly come into contact with advanced spatial magic. Once you do, you will know that when creating a spatial ring like this, there will be no inferior products. There will only be perfection and failure."

In fact, when Chen Cheng saw the smile on Herlous's face, he knew that he had asked another stupid question. He had read so many books in his previous life. If the ring space he created was an unstable and inferior product, it would have exploded long ago.

"Sir, please take out the item you want me to identify."

Chen Cheng nodded with a red face.

Then the first thing he took out was the small wooden box from last night.

He carefully held the wooden box and handed it to Herlous, saying:

"Elder, be careful. I suspect the thing in here is some kind of demon, because it will amplify people's appetite."

Herlous smiled and said:

"Please rest assured, sir."

She took the box, weighed it, and then said:

"It looks like there are quite a few runes carved in secret gold."

Then she opened the box, and a ball of something that looked like gold but not gold, and like water but not water appeared in front of everyone.

But this time Chen Cheng didn't feel any appetite.

When Herlous opened the box and saw what was inside, he was stunned at first, then shook his head and sighed.

"A good treasure has been turned into waste."

As soon as Chen Cheng heard it, he knew that Melos knew the treasure inside. Since she called it a treasure, the thing inside must be a treasure.

She put the box down and said:

"Don't be afraid, sir. This thing won't affect you now."

"What is that thing in here, Elder?"

Hearing Chen Cheng's question, Herlous sighed again, and then said:

"The one inside is the Golden Crystal of Good Fortune, the most important treasure for achieving the epic and legendary level of enlightenment. If the Kui Yi you mentioned earlier could have such a Golden Crystal to help him, then he would definitely be able to successfully break through."

After hearing this, Chen Cheng's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock. He hadn't expected that this lich was so rich that he even had treasures of this level.

However, Herlous' next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, almost making him die of anger.

"But what's placed inside is the melted Golden Crystal of Creation. It can no longer be used as a natural treasure for the Dao. It's almost like its greatest use has been wasted."

At this moment, Chen Cheng really had the urge to pick up his knife and kill that damn lich again.

After calming down for a moment, Chen Cheng asked:

"Does this kind of natural treasure even have a shelf life?"

Although he didn't know what the expiration date meant, Herlous could roughly guess it.

She shook her head and said:

"It's impossible for such a natural treasure to change over time. The lich must have intentionally caused the Creation Golden Crystal to become like this. I don't know what method he used to melt the Creation Golden Crystal."

When Chen Cheng heard this, his heart ached.

He closed the lid of the box and then took out the remaining four small wooden boxes.

He broke off the lock and opened all the doors. Melos's reaction almost scared Chen Cheng to death.

After seeing the contents of the four boxes, Herlous jumped up from his chair.

At this moment, Herlous, like Chen Cheng, had the urge to revive the lich and then kill it.

"Earth Brain, Water Spirit, Scorching Flame, and this spiritual branch, this is simply a waste of natural resources."

What appeared in front of the two of them at this time was half a rotten and smelly brain, filthy and turbid water that emitted a cold smell, a ball of hot fire that was on the verge of going out, and a piece of dead branch.

It can be said that the Lich has gathered all the natural treasures in the world that can help practitioners enter the demigod level by himself.

You have to know that this kind of treasure is so hard to find that even the Kingdom of Moss cannot produce a complete one.

The Lich collected all five and destroyed all five of these treasures.

After Chen Cheng finished listening to Herlous's story, he was lucky that he had been hit by the Golden Crystal of Creation before, otherwise he might have fainted from anger.

Chen Cheng might have felt very happy if these treasures were still on the Lich, but now these treasures are his trophies, and he is the one who feels sad.

Herlous picked up the dead spiritual branch from the box. What really made her angry was this dead spiritual branch, because this spiritual branch could only grow from the main trunk of the World Tree.

And over the years of their development, the elves have given away many of these spiritual branches, and the recipients were all their friends.

And now seeing a piece of dead branch, it means that one of their elven friends has fallen into the hands of this lich.
