In a simple room in the Ice City, Anna Luofang inserted her fingers into her messy hair and rubbed her scalp vigorously, trying to soothe her head that was numb from overexertion. When she took her hand back, she found that there were a few drops on her fingers. A hair, which made her mood worse.
"If this continues, all my hair will fall out, ahhhhh!!" Anna said frantically: "I'm just a princess, why do I have to do these things!!"
"Because your brother is missing." In the shadow of the corner, a thin black figure folded his arms and responded slowly.
"Damn Luther, he was supposed to do these things, he is the first pick!" Anna was even more maddened. Her bullshit brother who was in the first place quietly ran away and threw all these things to her.
Things were handled well with no benefits, one day brother came back, the position of the city lord was still his. Handle it badly, the one who takes the blame is her, it's simply damaging herself and benefiting others, making her mentally unbalanced.
"You don't have to deal with." The black shadow in the corner said.
Anna shook her head and her expression became serious: "No, that abominable devil is still hiding in this country and raided our poorly defended planting area. If we don't find him, we will fall into a serious food shortage next year." .”
The black shadow was silent for a while, and sighed helplessly, "Indeed it's too vicious, our planting areas are too scattered, and some of them have caves connected to them in all directions, so all it takes is for a demon to sneak in quietly and set the fields on fire everywhere, resulting in the extinction of our food harvest. And we have no other way but to futilely disperse our soldiers to every food producing area to surround him."
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely catch them. When I catch them, I will tie him up and throw him to Lich City, and let the lichs tear him to pieces with his soul." Anna said viciously.
"You may have some misunderstanding about lichs. They have stopped tearing out souls a long time ago, but it's not important. How can you catch the devil with the information on the table?" Black Shadow asked in confusion.
Anna's mouth curved into a confident smile, "Every event that occurs reveals a lot of information, for example, events one through three, all of them occurred consecutively, but events three through four, there was an interval of three days in between, but the two locations were only a day's journey away, so for those two days in between, where did he go?"
Black Shadow thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Tired?"
"Yes, that's right. Centering on the planting area where these two incidents occurred, are there any places where you can rest within a two-day journey? The person who set the fire was probably the lava demon. He likes magma best." Anna opened a map , put it on the table.
The black shadow couldn't help but step out of the shadows in the corner, revealing a wrinkled face and a thin figure. The exposed face and arm skin were covered with rune-like tattoos.
If anyone who knows this kind of tattoo is present, they will definitely exclaim - Holy Light Corpse Witch! Moreover, they are corpse witches who have been purified by the church. Those tattoos are the traces of purification magic patterns branded on the skin.
In the human world, undead creatures are classified as heretics by the Church, and will be purified when they are captured. The Church believes that ordinary methods cannot kill a witch demon, and that only by purification can their bodies plus souls be eliminated together, or else even if their heads are chopped off, their souls can escape as undead.
The Holy Shroud is rolled up and burned with fire until body and soul are reduced to ashes.
This is actually reasonable, because some lichs cannot be killed by ordinary methods because they can refine phylacteries.
Refining your heart into a phylactery, placing it in a special container, hiding it in a safe place, and replacing the heart with soul fire. In this way, even if you are killed, you can be reborn through the phylactery.
For this kind of lich, the church has also invented a corresponding method. It is first wrapped in a holy shroud, and then burned in flames, including the body and soul. In this way, the lich reborn with the help of the phylactery will lose everything memory, and there will be a mark on the body that cannot be erased even after rebirth.

Black Shadow is a lich who was purified and reborn, but she has lost the memory before her rebirth. She does not remember who she is or how she died. She only sees one word from the badge engraved on the life box - —Lan, so her name is Lan now.
Lan came to the table and took a look, and quickly found a name on the map: "Here, Molten River."
"Yes, it's in the molten river. This is the only place where there is magma. It's the demon's favorite environment." Anna said.
Lan nodded: "It makes sense, but these are all speculations. You have no evidence to prove that your speculations are true."
Anna smiled and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lan: "I have sent people to investigate, and the devil's footprints were indeed found on the road leading to the molten river. There were indeed devils passing nearby during that time.
Lan was silent for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "You are so awesome, you really caught his traces."
"That's right." Anna raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "That's how I deduced that he is a lava demon, and thus judged that he needs lava to restore his strength. As long as you know his rest interval, and pay attention to places with lava. , there is always a chance to block him.”
"We have to do it as soon as possible. If he sets a few more fires, we will have a big gap in food next year and many people will starve to death." Lan said.
"Don't worry, I have contacted the human world through the teleportation array. They have a good harvest of food there. As long as they can afford the price, they can use a large teleportation array to deliver one-way food and send dozens of tons of food at a time."
Lan shook his head: "The cost is too great. Just opening a large transfer station requires more than a dozen magic crystals. We don't have a corresponding large-scale teleportation array here. The world transfer station here has long been unable to be opened. Otherwise, more than a dozen magic crystals are needed enough, but one-way delivery requires hundreds of magic crystals. Even if we looted all the valuable things in our dungeon, we couldn't get so many magic crystals.
Anna scratched her scalp frantically and said irritably: "What can I do? Are you waiting to starve to death? Lich City is also short of food. Some time ago, they sent people to buy food, but I refused. If they have a lot of food, it would be great if they could support us."
Just when Anna was scratching her head in annoyance, the soldier came to report: "Reporting to Her Royal Highness, Lisa Augustus of Lich City is asking to see you."
"Lisa Augustus? Who is it? Wasn't it always Eske who came here before? Why is there a new person this time?" Anna murmured in confusion.
Lan's eyes sparkled: "This is not a newcomer. This is the real master of Lich City. This old witch hasn't appeared in hundreds of years. I thought she was dead. Go and meet her. This old lich is not simple."
"The real owner of Lich City? Isn't the city owner Mr. Feilin?" Anna's curiosity was aroused, and she quickly put on her makeup and clothes, preparing to go to the meeting.
"Feilin is afraid of his wife. This is his wife."
When they arrived at the reception room, there was only a plump young woman with fair skin and a black gauze skirt sitting there. There was no 'old witch' as Lan described.
Lan's attention did not fall on the young woman in the black gauze skirt. Instead, she looked towards the door of the reception room and asked unceremoniously: "Where is your old witch named August?"
The young woman in the black gauze skirt turned her head, with a careless smile on her lips, and said lazily: "Are you talking about me, the old witch named Augustus?"
Listening to this familiar voice, Lan turned his gaze to the face of the young woman in the black gauze skirt in shock, and frowned.
She and Lisa met in the lich state, and the Lisa she knew was a corpse-witch who was as dry, thin, dead, and withered as she was, and how did this plump, watery woman in front of her look a little bit like that old hag with her eyebrows? How did she sound like that old hag? What's going on here?
The young woman in the black gauze skirt slowly opened her mouth and said: "Lan, from now on, it seems that only you can enjoy the title of old witch."
Lan's expression changed dramatically, and he said angrily: "It turns out it's really you! August, you're so abominable, you actually invaded the body of a living person?! I'll beat you to death!"
"What?! No, no, no, you misunderstood, this is my body, hey, stop, oh, don't slap me in the face, stop, you slap me again."
Seeing Lisa and Lan fighting in a ping-pong-pong ball, Anna, who was still trying to help, suddenly came to her senses and stopped.
The two thousand-year-old lichs did not use magic, but fought with bare hands like children. If they really fought, Anna would dare to eat the chair.
Sure enough, after fighting for a while, the two lichs stopped with disheveled hair, but the shriveled and thin Lan had disheveled hair and was extremely embarrassed, while the plump and moist Lisa had disheveled hair, but had a different kind of charm.
Lan asked angrily and jealously: "Why did you become like this? Are you really not occupying the body of a living person?"
Powerful lichs and undead have the ability to invade the bodies of living people, but the living people will die and the body will lose activity. It can only remain active for two or three days before starting to decay. If it weren't for encroachment, Lan couldn't think of any way to make a lich so alive.
Lisa smiled slightly and asked lightly: "If you have the opportunity to restore your body's activity and become like me, what price are you willing to pay?"
