People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Isn't it normal for your life knot to not be in your body? Don't you liches always hide your life knot in the place known as "the beginning and end of a thousand threads"?

"That's right. We liches have always hidden our Fate Knots in the [End and End of a Thousand Threads], but the teacher is different. I once asked the teacher where the Fate Knot was hidden, and the teacher beat me up. But he still told me that the Fate Knot is indeed in the same place as ours, just deeper, and... in someone's hands."

In someone's hands?

The dignified Lich Lord gave his life away?

After hearing this conclusion, Kal'tsit became more certain of what she was thinking.

Although this idea is extremely crazy, but...

After eliminating all the impossible, the one that remains, no matter how absurd and bizarre it is, will be correct.

After exchanging glances with Fang Ark, Kal'tsit and Fang Ark decided not to reveal the answer for the time being. If this matter were to get out, Letania would probably be in chaos.

Fang Ark was a little surprised that Kal'tsit could guess the answer. He was able to come up with this answer because he had read the script. He knew that the Witch King was not dead yet. A remnant of his soul relied on Fremont's life knot to survive in the warp, which the liches called "the beginning and end of a thousand threads", and built the palace Pavillon.

The palace of Pavillon holds on to "existence" in the wilderness and keeps "nothingness" out of the palace. The Witch King is not here, but his palace still protects his Letania.

But it seems a bit strange that Kal'tsit was able to deduce this conclusion. Just based on Ermengarde's few words, she deduced that Flemont's life was in the hands of the Witch King and then concluded that the Witch King was not dead. Should we say that her thinking is meticulous or fanciful?

"But anyway, since Frémont is dead, even if his life knot wasn't directly destroyed by Tracys, it should no longer exist."

The Fate Knot and the Lich are like they are bound to each other. No matter which one dies, the other one will be destroyed. However, even if we trace the history back to the time when Sarkaz was still Tikaz, or even before that, when the concept of Tikaz had not yet been born, the second situation has never occurred. Now it is just Logos's guess.

But this is not necessarily the case.

Frémont's fate may be...

Ark felt the power of time still remaining on the Lich Lord's body.

He already had some guesses as to how Tracys had killed Frémont.

If that method is used, it may not affect Fremont's life knot in the subspace.

It is known that the Witch King built his palace Pavillon in the Warp to resist the invasion of evil demons, and the possession of the Witch King's existence is precisely Fremont's life knot. If the latter disappears, it is only a matter of time before the Witch King's soul, which has lost its possession, dissipates. By then, Pavillon will collapse, and the evil demons, without any resistance, will soon defeat the fragile Warp crystal wall of the Leithanian capital, now known as Trilinterme.

Fang Zhou frowned when he thought of this.

Tracy probably didn't know about this, or rather, apart from the Witch King himself, only Fremont probably knew a little about it. In other words, if it wasn't stopped, according to the worst-case scenario, it wouldn't be long before Leithnia would...

Kal'tsit and Amiya glanced at Fang Ark's fingers that kept tapping on Flemont's coffin.

"Doctor, have you come up with anything?"

irritable.

Amiya was keenly aware of Fang Ark's current mood.

"Well, there are some things. If Flemont's life knot is really destroyed, Leitania will probably be finished soon."

Without prior preparation, Ark did not believe that the Twin Queens could re-seal the subspace at the cost of a queen's voice, as they did during the 1100th Queen's Celebration in the Eigenworld. Even if Helinmart risked his life to block it, Trilinterme and even the surrounding areas would probably be contaminated by the collapse.

Even Ark couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the central area of ​​a core circle country radiating collapse body demonic pollution to the surrounding areas.

"Letania?"

"what?"

Ermengarde felt that her mind was a little confused.

"Well... although I don't deny that the teacher is very strong, and the Lich Clan does have a deep cooperative relationship with Leitania, even if the teacher died, it shouldn't cause such a serious situation in Leitania."

Although he respected his teacher very much, Ermengarde believed that no matter how powerful a person was, his death would not directly lead to the destruction of a country... Well, it seems that this is true.

The "Witch King" Herhunzoron and the former Emperor of Ursus, Vladimir Ivanovich, both of them left unimaginable influence on this land whether they were alive or dead.

The latter, in particular, is the true embodiment of the ballad "One monarch stirs up the whole earth."

“Are the consequences really that serious?”

Thinking of the consequences that Fang Zhou mentioned, Ermengarde didn't even care about being sad about the death of her teacher.

"There's still room for recovery. If Fremont's life knot is truly destroyed, we must prepare for the worst and be ready to deal with it. If not, then that worst-case scenario won't materialize. Of course, we still have another option."

"what?"

Fang Zhou glanced at everyone present and shook his head. In a voice that only he and Kel'tsit could hear, he said, "Believe it. Believe in Helhunzollon."

Kal'tsit looked strange, while the others were in an even heavier mood.

"Alright, alright, there's no time to be so depressed, Ermengarde. You said earlier that the Blood Demon Lord and Tracys killed your teacher in Leithania, and that you were affected. The Scavenger King attacked your Life Knot, and it hasn't healed yet."

"Ah."

"So, what brought you to Longmen? I have no idea what made you decide to come to Longmen after Frémont's death."

Fang Ark's words made Ermengarde shudder and remember the most important thing at the moment.

"That's right! Yes, I have to tell you about this."

"Ms. Ermengarde, please don't get excited. Your current condition will only worsen if you become overly emotional."

Amiya hurriedly supported Ermengarde, who was about to get up from the bed because of excitement, and slowly calmed her down, calming the excited Ermengarde.

"What do you want to tell us?"

Logos felt a little uneasy. The fear that emanated from Ermengarde's eyes in her excitement just now made him feel restless.

"I was hunted all the way to Longmen, from Trilinterme to Syracuse to Ursus. He has been chasing me until now..."

"Calm down, Miss Ermengarde. There's no need to be afraid. No one is chasing you here. It's safe here."

Hunting, fear, Warfarin.

Whether it was Kal'tsit, Logos, or Askalon, their expressions turned gloomy.

"The one chasing you is..."

Although he already had the answer in his mind, Ascalon still wanted to confirm it from the person involved. If it was really that guy, then Rhodes Island would probably sound the highest level alarm.

"It's Ducare."

This name struck the hearts of those present like a heavy hammer.

"Blood Demon Lord, Dukare."

Chapter 180: The hopes of three races rest on you. It must be very stressful.

"Blood Demon Lord, Dukare."

Although it was expected, everyone present was silent for a moment when the name came out of Ermengarde's mouth.

boom!

"Oh no! Everyone, I know why Miss Ermengarde is so afraid of me. It's not because I did any illegal medical procedures or that I'm trying to scare people. It's because of that old fellow, the Blood Demon Lord! Miss Ermengarde was chased to Longmen by the Blood Demon Lord! Now that old man is probably approaching Longmen at a rapid speed! We have to take countermeasures quickly!"

Huafalin's sudden entry prolonged the silence in the ward.

It was not until the former realized something was wrong and glanced at everyone in the ward that he spoke hesitantly.

"Hmm, am I bringing out outdated information again?"

Silence is Mon3tr's mood tonight. He is very unhappy that Warfarin, whom he had "invited" to leave, suddenly breaks in.

What? You're just trying to show off my incompetence? Are you trying to put me in a bad light?

"**menacing growl**"

A threatening growl came out of Mon3tr's mouth. It was not until he was stopped by Kal'tsit that the former reluctantly shrank into an octagonal crystal, hovering behind Kal'tsit and pressing the mute button on himself.

"all in all……"

Fang Zhou was about to say something when he saw Ermengarde beside him began to tremble uncontrollably again when he saw Warfarin. He raised his hand without saying a word, and the power of the sheep talisman enveloped the lich's soul.

Ermengarde suddenly took a deep breath. The long-lost peace of mind in her soul made her a little greedy for this feeling of peace of mind. She looked at her hands in disbelief.

After nearly a month of fear and anxiety, she had long forgotten what it felt like to feel at ease. She used to feel at ease staying by her teacher's side, but it was not until her teacher's death and she was hunted by the Blood Demon Lord for a month that she realized how precious that feeling of peace was.

What we pursue in life is a sense of security.

Ermengarde suddenly had such a profound experience.

"Because he was being hunted by the Blood Demon Lord, he developed a fear of blood demons. It's a psychological disorder. The power of the Sheep Charm can only temporarily alleviate it. We'll have to arrange for a psychiatrist to come and mediate later... Kal'tsit, I remember there are psychiatrists on Rhodes Island, right?"

"Psychiatrists are standard for ore patients, and they're readily available on Rhodes Island. Miss Ermengarde's symptoms are already severe. She's likely to go into a coma simply by seeing the blood demon. I'll arrange for the most suitable psychiatrist for you, don't worry."

Kal'tsit already had a candidate in mind. That place was usually very quiet, and generally only some children or people who also sought quietness would go there to rest. She would later notify the perfumer to prepare a place for Ermengarde to live in the sanatorium courtyard.

"Thank you, Ms. Kelsey."

Ermengarde also knew that her current situation was abnormal and very rude to Warfarin. Under the effect of the sheep spell, she felt temporarily at ease and was finally able to look Warfarin in the face and apologize to her.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Warfarin, what just happened has caused you considerable trouble."

"It's okay, it's okay. To be honest, I'm somewhat used to it. Those patients who just came to Rhodes Island knew I was a blood demon and didn't feel afraid of me for a while, but they got better after that.

Ultimately, it's all the fault of our old guys. They've completely ruined the Blood Demon's reputation."

No. Did the Blood Demon Clan really have a good reputation in the beginning?

Ark's memories diverged, and he found that because of their feeding habits, the Blood Demon race had been notorious on the Terra continent from the very beginning, and even had the worst reputation among the Sarkaz.

"Then Miss Ermengarde, please rest here in Rhodes Island for a while. Don't worry, there's no need to worry about the safety inside Rhodes Island. You can rest here without worry. Also..."

As Fang Zhou spoke, the magic of the horse spell covered the hole in Ermengarde's chest. The latter's face instantly became strange, with a hint of crimson in his paleness, but soon, this expression was replaced by a sense of relief. Then he looked in surprise at the hole in his chest and the silk thread that had returned to its original state and was connected to his life knot.

"This one……"

"I have already cleansed you of the corrupting power of the Scavenger King. After a few days of recuperation, you should be able to use your lich magic again. This should be more reassuring to you than our meaningless comfort. Also, please let us take good care of Mr. Fremont's body. Although you have been using magic to keep it incorruptible, it must be reaching its limit now. Threads are coming out. So, let's leave the subsequent treatment to our professionals, okay?"

“…I’m counting on you.”

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Fang Zhou spoke with a smile and then gestured for everyone to leave with him first, giving the little lich some time to rest quietly alone.

"and many more!"

But just as Fang Zhou and others were about to leave, Ermengarde called them. Although she called them, her eyes were always fixed on one person.

"Miss Ermengarde?"

Amiya noticed Ermengarde's gaze, her slender ears twitched slightly, and she looked at her with a puzzled look.

"You are the current Demon King chosen by Her Highness Theresa."

"Huh? Well, yes, I am the Demon King now."

If Amiya was suddenly called out in this identity before, she would still feel uncomfortable and make excuses, but now she is no longer like that. Openly admitting it is also a quality that a king should have.

"Demon King... so are you, Kamen Rider Zi-O?"

Amiya suddenly became serious.

Why did Ermengarde know that he was Kamen Rider?

He became Kamen Rider when Chernobog rescued the doctor. After that, Rhodes Island and his activities were limited to Lungmen and the surrounding areas. At that time, Terra only had the level of information exchange of intercity Internet, so the liches far away in Leithania should not know about Kamen Rider.

So……

Amiya suddenly thought of a word that Fang Ark had rarely mentioned recently.

The time robber.

A madman who returns from the future to the past in an attempt to tamper with history.

But if it were them, they would definitely know that they were Kamen Riders, and...

Yes, the Doctor said before that there is a time robber on Tracy's side, and that time robber might even be Tracy himself.

If that were the case, the lords of the royal court gathered around Tracys must have known about it. Then the reason why Ermengarde knew about it was...

"Did the Blood Demon Lord reveal it to you?"

Amiya's face was serious. If that was the case, some questions could be answered.

Why would a lord of the royal court chase a little lich who had lost his spatial abilities for over a month without catching up? It wasn't that he couldn't catch up, but that he didn't want to. If he did, he wouldn't be able to reach Longmen, and he wouldn't be able to... find him.

"Yes."

Ermengarde's affirmative answer made Amiya nod.

Sure enough.

"Did that guy come here for Amiya from the beginning?"

There were no fools among the people present, and Ermengarde also understood the key point after being reminded of this.
