Chapter 1634 Okay
Curiosity is one of the driving forces of human progress, but curiosity actually has a negative side.

For example, it is closely related to committing suicide...

Alde walked towards the crystal statue of the Illithid. Seeing this, Zora said quickly:
"Your Majesty, let us get the things and go back quickly."

"Don't worry, the treasure this guy left behind has not been taken yet."

When Nemea heard about the treasure, he became excited:
"Where is it? We didn't see any forks along the way?"

"It may be a hidden secret door, but it's definitely there."

Alde pointed to the crystal statue of the illithid and said:
"That's either a statue or the Illithid Lich himself."

"..."

"Don't be afraid, it's not dangerous now."

"I just saw complex ancient elven language on the ceiling of the secret room. Although it is difficult for me to decipher what is written on it, it should be a spell effect similar to runes."

"What spell effects are there?"

"Crystallization magic."

Alde says:

"This is a spell that was taboo in the ancient elves, but no matter how taboo it is, there are still records that have been passed down. It will transform the target into the appearance of the crystal. Considering that the builder of this underground palace was an elf wizard, it makes sense."

"But doesn't the lich have a high resistance to magic?"

In fact, for a mind-thirsty lich above level 70, it is almost impossible for most spells in the world to have any effect on him.

Especially the builders of the underground palace were not that powerful. After all, if he was really powerful, he would not have been stabbed to death inside the underground palace after it was completed.

"It's because it's so powerful that crystal magic works so well."

Crystal magic is a very special spell. Generally speaking, whether a spell is effective when cast by a caster on a recipient is closely related to the level difference between the two parties, especially this kind of spell that is similar to an abnormal state.

If the caster's level is higher than that of the recipient, the success rate will naturally be higher, and vice versa.

Judging from the level of the builder of the dungeon, saying that he is at level 40 is an overestimate, and the mind-thirsty lich is likely to be above level 70.

In this case, no matter whether it is a spell trap, curse, or casting a spell close to the target, it will not have any effect.

Crystal magic, on the other hand, is just the opposite.

Whether this thing is effective or not has nothing to do with the level difference between the caster and the recipient, but depends on how much magic power the recipient possesses.

The more magic power you have, the higher the probability of it taking effect.

The soul-sucking lich who practices both spiritual and magical arts is over level 70, and its magic power cannot be small, so if it is hit by crystal magic, it will surely die.

The reason why this thing is listed as a forbidden technique is that all the ancient elves are excellent wizards. It can be said that using this trick to fight the ancient elves is extremely effective.

On the other hand, using this thing to fight warriors, or directly against gods, the effect will be lackluster, or even useless.

"Subiya's family secret room can be hidden from ordinary adventurers, but it can never be hidden from the mind sucking monster lich. It must have discovered the secret room we just entered, but it can't open it normally without the blood of the royal family. But when this guy tried to break it by force, it triggered the spell trap. The lich thought he was immune to the threat of the spell trap, but he didn't know that it was crystal magic. By the time he was hit, it was too late."

"So the Illithid Lich is dead?" Zora interrupted:
"The lich shouldn't be that easy to die."

Oldie shook her head.

"It's hard to tell whether it's dead or not. Generally speaking, as long as the lich's life box is not damaged, its body can be reborn within a week. But the difference between crystallization magic and petrification magic is that crystallization magic will trap the soul as well."

Petrification magic is a spell that can turn organic matter into inorganic stone. In the classification of the School of Transmutation, it seems that one turns into stone and the other turns into crystal are very similar, but in fact the principles are completely different.

There is no spell to remove the curse of crystal magic, but petrification magic can be removed by using 'Remove Curse' or 'Remove Petrification'.

Furthermore, the souls of those hit by crystal magic will be sealed in the crystal forever.

This is too restraining for the Lich.

The reason why a lich can be reborn is that when it is killed, its soul will return from its body to its life box and wait for rebirth.

The crystal magic trapped its soul, which naturally meant a bug.

"As long as we don't use spells like dispel magic to attack the crystal statue, its soul will always be trapped inside. If we can find its life box and destroy it, the soul in the statue will have nowhere to go but to the sanctuary of the god of death."

"But the lich's life box is hard to find, right?"

"It is difficult to find. All liches will cover their phylacteries with a large number of defensive detection spells. Even the gods find it difficult to find a lich's phylactery through induction or spells."

Zora was about to say that if that was the case, let's go, but Alde immediately said:
"But Aaron is not accepted by the illithid society. Regardless of whether it is a lich or an illithid, it is usually not accepted by the normal society. This Aaron must be a refugee who fled to our plane. In this case, I am sure that its life box is definitely in this underground palace. As long as we look carefully, we will definitely find it. What's more..."

She pointed to the top of her head:

"The lich's phylactery is hard to find because it can resist detection, but no matter what the effect of the spell is, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of God."

This is true. As long as the life box appears on the monitor screen, Li Chengxi can recognize it no matter what disguise it is in.

"And think about it, if a level 70 or above Illidan Lich wreaks havoc on our plane, the consequences will be disastrous. It hides underground only because it is not aware of the military strength of our plane and is afraid of being surrounded and beaten by other country-destroying characters. If it knew, we would have to rely on you to descend to the mortal world."

As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. The mind-sucking lich is too strong, and there are almost no people on Viola's side who can exceed level 50, let alone be able to confront the Nation-Destroying Monster head-on.

This reason convinced Zora and Li Chengxi who was watching this scene.

Indeed, if left alone, if the crystal statue ever breaks and the lich's soul escapes, it can be reborn.

"Subiya's family secret room must have a huge amount of gold and silver treasures, but now these treasures are gone. They must have been collected by the mind-thirsty lich. Although the crystallization magic caused all its equipment to turn into crystals, if the treasures were placed in a dimensional pocket or something like that, they would definitely not be found now. But any treasure left by a character above level 70 is worth a lot of money."

This also convinced Nemea.

As an adventurer who has been afraid of poverty since childhood, no great cause is as attractive as making money.

"So where should we start looking?"

"There must be a secret door nearby, but it is hidden by a spell. With my ability, it would be very difficult to directly destroy the hidden spell of the Illithid Lich, but Your Majesty must have seen it."

Li Chengxi sighed as he looked at the three people in front of the monitor.

Fine.
