…
Restart the present world.
This is the biggest difficulty the dragon lich encounters in its slumber!
The world that Cisco and Roger are in now is the "Green Whisper Mountains", one of the multiple histories.
This historical world is in the process of returning to the present world.
So corresponding.
At a certain point in time.
This historical world was once contained.
And at the same time that the Green Language Mountains were taken in.
A brand new world will start again.
This is something that has happened on the planet Mystra a dozen times.
The Andean Bronze Book in Roger's hand possesses such magical power.
It was just because he himself did not carry out the will of Asgard.
So we know very little about the restart of the present world.
So he asked a few more questions.
Unfortunately, Cisco doesn't know much—
Although he spent a very long time with the dragon lich.
But most of the time Besad was in a daze.
What he said was also inconsistent and illogical.
The content that he occasionally revealed when he was sober also confused Sisko.
He could be sure of only one thing.
That was when the Green Tongue Mountains were contained.
Bethard suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He engaged in battle with an extremely powerful being.
According to Roger's speculation, this powerful being should be the receiver of this history - possibly a member of Asgard; or possibly a person from heaven.
In short, the two of them had a fierce fight.
It’s a pity that Besad was seriously injured.
I'm no match for that guy at all.
After defeat.
The man seemed to want to kill the dracolich.
In order to seek a chance of survival.
Besad was forced to hide in the outside world hidden under the Green Whisper Mountains.
That is the place where the cosmic dragon is sealed.
At that time, the relationship between the outside world, the Silent Sea and the Green Mountains was very subtle.
The dracolich did not explain this to Sisko.
The latter only knew to avoid the shelterer.
Not only was Bethard further damaged, the fire of his soul was like a candle in the wind.
Moreover, he himself, from the dragon lich's life box to the undead body he used, was trapped forever in this terrible dragon abyss!
Can't leave.
…
According to Cisco's understanding.
This Demon Dragon Abyss is the place where the Pingsha Sect used to suppress monsters from ancient times.
The entire Demon Dragon Abyss exudes a faint murderous aura.
The further down you go.
The pressure of murderous aura is sufficient.
This murderous aura can not only destroy people's will.
It can even directly crush the monster's body!
Accompanied by the ravages of time.
Very few monsters sent into the Demon Dragon Abyss can survive.
Not to mention escaping!
The previous cosmic dragon was just an exception.
…
therefore.
Besad, who hid in the Demon Dragon Abyss, soon found himself jumping from one pit into another larger pit.
His condition was getting worse.
He completely lost control of himself.
Gradually.
He became confused and even split into two...
in this case.
Replace it with any other existence.
I'm afraid their lives have been consumed by the powerful force of the Demonic Dragon Abyss.
But Besad was worthy of being the most powerful creature on this planet.
His knowledge and will kept him struggling on the brink of death!
In this purgatory woven of murderous intent.
Besad's thoughts are divided into good and evil.
And with the support of the idea of ​​seeking life.
These two thoughts of good and evil work together.
He actually took control of part of the power of Demon Dragon Abyss!
After obtaining a small amount of power from Demon Dragon Abyss.
The dracolich gasped.
He found a way to continue living.
But Bethard's luck ended there.
After losing the existential crisis.
The two thoughts of good and evil began to attack each other.
The high intensity of internal friction made him completely lose the possibility of escaping from the Demon Dragon Abyss.
He was confused all day long by extreme thoughts and unreal fantasies.
He completely degenerated into a horrible monster.
…
It was in this context that Cisco and Stephanie came into Bethard's sight.
Bethard at that time.
Although he has already hidden in the Demon Dragon Abyss.
But there are still many spies in the Dragon's Tomb, the base camp that has been operated for many years.
The duo had just stepped into the dragon graveyard.
Besad sensed it.
The dragon lich, who was greedy for power and indulged in illusions, had not seen such a fresh human being for a long time.
Soon he set a little trap.
Invite Psyker and the other two who were in the dragon cemetery to the outside world!
After accidentally entering the outside world.
Before Cisco and Stephanie could figure out what was going on.
They were shocked to find that their gender had changed!
The discovery overwhelmed them.
Besad took the opportunity to enter.
He used his advanced soul magic.
Briefly absorbed Cisco and Stephanie's minds.
They were further lured into the Demon Dragon Abyss.
So far.
The two of them fell completely into the clutches of the dragon lich.
This started a nightmare that lasted for more than twenty years!
…
At the beginning.
In fact, Cisco still had a glimmer of hope.
Because we get along.
He found that Bethard was not as unreasonable as the traditional villain.
Quite the opposite.
On the surface, a dracolich appears to be elegant, refined and easy-going.
He demonstrated the demeanor and bearing of a wise man and senior.
Regarding the matter of luring them into the Demon Dragon Abyss.
Bessard gave another high-sounding explanation:
He claimed that he just needed a little help from the two young men out of desperation.
After the success, he will definitely give extremely generous rewards.
In addition to restricting personal freedom.
Besad did not impose any further restrictions on the two.
Even after the two of them ate all the food that Cisco brought with him.
Bethard also taught them a dragon spell that they could use to make their own food.
Although the food is not very delicious.
But they barely managed to save their lives.
And in the process of getting along with each other in daily life.
Bethard doesn't appear much.
Every time it appears.
Basically, good intentions prevail.
At this time, Bessard would take the initiative to tell Cisco some stories about his past.
In a sense.
The kind-hearted Besad is actually no different from the ancient golden dragon of that time.
He hoped to get rid of two innocent young people, Cisco and Stephanie.
It’s a pity that the existence of evil thoughts prevented him from doing so.
Cisco also experienced several changes of Bessard's face.
Only then did I realize that the evil thoughts in this dragon lich with split personality were much stronger than the good thoughts!
…
The discovery dismayed him.
At the same time, he also lost hope that Besad would let him go.
The two began to secretly plan a plan to escape from the Demon Dragon Abyss.
What a pity.
Cisco's strength is already among the best among young people.
Even in Mistra, he can be considered a top expert.
But he was still ridiculously tender in front of the dragon lich.
After several failed escape attempts.
The actions of the two seemed to arouse even greater evil thoughts in Besad's heart.
The latter almost killed Stephanie in a rage!
And Cisco himself was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.
The cruel reality reminded the two young men of the strength of their enemy.
Those who survived no longer actively tried to escape.
Instead, try to follow Besad's wishes.
…
In the following period of time.
They accompanied Bethard in conducting some absurd and bizarre experiments.
In order to please Bethard, Stephanie even learned some chapters that only bards could master.
One day.
After listening to Stephanie's music.
Bethard left in silence.
Some time passed.
When the dragon lich appears again.
He threw some books and music at Stephanie.
And a variety of musical instruments.
Stephanie found out after reading it.
These are all Bard related props.
Especially those books.
It can help her advance to become a formal bard!
And the music and poetry provided by Bethard are also very exquisite.
But upon closer inspection, I discovered that all these chapters were works praising Bessard himself.
Now they both understood.
These hymns were created by humans in the ancient golden dragon's territory to praise Besad.
Even if he has already fallen into a dragon lich.
Besad still misses the days when he was the ancient golden dragon protecting the world...
…
They both felt this was an opportunity.
So Stephanie studied hard and became an excellent bard.
And Cisco also tried hard to please Bessard with his words and skills.
Time goes by day by day.
The relationship between the two sides seems to be getting more harmonious.
Besad did not show any signs of being possessed by evil thoughts in front of them.
The two gradually became optimistic.
They felt that if they could become closer to Besad, they would have a chance to leave.
However, just one year later.
Just when the two young men were still frantically trying to increase the favorability of the dragon lich.
Suddenly Bethard found them.
And proposed a whimsical idea to Sisko——
He wants to resurrect the Cosmic Dragon!
…
According to Bethard.
My current state is very painful.
The time that good thoughts can dominate the body is getting shorter and shorter.
But the power of evil thoughts is growing stronger!
As one gains, the other loses.
It won't be long before the evil thoughts completely take over the dragon lich's body.
At that time, good thoughts will naturally disappear.
The fate of the two young men is self-evident!
In order to solve this situation.
Bethard tried numerous methods.
final.
A compromise was formed between good thoughts and evil thoughts.
Good thoughts hope that evil thoughts can give up this body.
And Evil Thought also agreed to this proposal.
But the prerequisite is that he wants to obtain a more perfect body!
…
Fortunately.
The pure human blood of Cisco and Stephanie was of no appeal to Bethard.
Otherwise, the two of them would have been possessed by another body long ago.
What Besad really cares about is the corpse of the Cosmic Dragon!
The power of the cosmic dragon is very strong.
at this point.
Besad, who had fought with him, knew it very well.
And as time goes by.
Bethard discovered.
The corpse of the Cosmic Demon Dragon was not completely destroyed by the power of the Demon Dragon Abyss like other species.
Quite the opposite.
Its integrity is almost unaffected!
And recently, a little life has emerged from the corpse!
This situation caught Besad's attention.
He believed that the Cosmic Dragon would be resurrected in due time!
But this resurrection requires an opportunity.
According to Bethard's research.
As long as you can grasp the little bit of vitality in the soul realm of the Cosmic Demon Dragon.
It may be possible to control this body with infinite possibilities in the near future!
…
The soul is no longer a secret to the dragon lich.
Therefore, Besad only needs to separate the evil thoughts from his body.
Just enter the soul realm of the cosmic dragon and gain dominance.
But the cunning dragon lich obviously wouldn't do that.
He is wary of risks.
According to good intentions -
The evil thoughts are afraid that the good thoughts will actively attack after the former leaves the undead body.
This may lead to the failure of the evil mind's plan to take over the body of the Cosmic Dragon.
therefore.
In order to ensure that the evil thoughts can take over the body successfully.
He asked Psyker to explore the soul realm of the dragon!
Hear this.
Cisco actually already understood.
The dracolich needs a cannon fodder with a strong soul!
Recalling the past year.
The knowledge about the soul realm that Bethard revealed from time to time.
Cisco just felt cold sweat all over his body!
At that time, he still felt that this knowledge was worth learning.
So I recited it carefully.
But now think about it.
Besad was clearly just building up his durability as a cannon fodder!
After all, there are only two humans in the Demon Dragon Abyss now, him and Stephanie!
He is dead.
The available cannon fodder is reduced by half!
Sisko did not resist.
Bethard did not give him any room to resist.
After confirming that we are about to explore the dragon's soul realm.
Bessard began to train Psyker's soul.
Three months later.
Cisco's soul is twice as powerful.
Under the ceremony presided over by Besad.
He gritted his teeth and went to explore the dragon's soul realm.
The process of exploring the soul realm is very troublesome and dangerous.
Especially beings like the magic dragon.
Their soul realm is often astonishingly vast.
At the beginning.
They could explore only a small part of the darkness.
And after each exploration.
Cisco needs to rest for a long time.
Bethard showed patience.
In addition to dropping two forbidden spells into Sisko's soul mark.
He didn't even push Sisko to increase the frequency and duration of his explorations.
that's all.
The days go by.
About a month passed.
Psyker finally explored the outer periphery of the Cosmic Dragon's soul realm.
The whole process was difficult.
But the result is still satisfactory.
The dragon's soul realm is very solid and clean.
At least there is no danger outside.
Next is the core area.
Sisko prayed that the subsequent exploration would go as smoothly as before.
But just as he stepped into the core area of ​​the soul realm.
The little bit of life on the dragon's body suddenly lit up!
A terrifying thought erupted deep in the soul realm.
That moment.
Cisco understood——
That is the roar of the dragon's soul!
He is not dead.
He was just using the state of suspended animation to resist the terrifying power of Demon Dragon Abyss!
…
After the dragon awakens.
Cisco felt that he was finished.
So he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
But no one expected it.
The dragon's soul did not attack Psyker.
Instead, he charged towards the edge of the soul realm!
Immediately following.
Psyker saw a dark red will-o'-the-wisp floating before his eyes.
That will-o'-the-wisp is naturally the dragon lich.
turn out to be.
Bethard followed behind Sisko from beginning to end.
Silently.
