Academic gathering with a lich-Chapter 615 - 568: Crown Charging (Date Cake’s Task 2/6)

"So, the trick to taming it is ’Raymond’?" The Giant Dragon began preparing the area while the Lich Crown was already smeared with Nia’s saliva.

"Yes, Mr. Raymond is the king recognized by the Lich Crown, the most suitable person to wear it."

"...Being a lich, I can always feel the self-destructive tendency of this race..." The Giant Dragon acknowledged Lyle’s meticulousness, "Although a shortcut has been found, only you can use this shortcut. Liches would definitely prefer to weaken the power of the Lich Crown rather than submit to Raymond and be ravaged. You haven’t let me down, child. However, with such favorable conditions, let’s perfect every single detail."

"Perfect every detail?"

"The power of the Lich Crown has been drained by me, and since you can ensure that it will always submit, then it is best to enhance the power of this crown of the race to the highest level. We need to enhance its power."

"Power enhancement?" Lyle was somewhat puzzled; the Lich Crown in his hand seemed excited by this and immediately drew a detailed portrait of that man in the air.

Mr. Raymond, the Lich Crown wants Raymond to charge it with Holy Light.

"No, not to mention whether as a magical item you can withstand the devastation of Holy Light, the Holy Light is also a dangerous substance for our experiment." The Giant Dragon immediately rejected the idea; this power would act upon his own body, and if it were destroyed by Raymond’s Holy Light, Mr. Giant Dragon thought he would top the list for the most foolish death of a lich. "Moreover, as the crown of a race, the power it contains is extremely strong and pure, and not many types of energy can rival the power of the race. A powerful spellcaster..."

Seeing Mr. Giant Dragon fall silent, Lyle asked, "Teacher, doesn’t Andrey have a suitable candidate?"

"No, Andrey does have a suitable candidate. It’s just that his kind of ’universal’ solution is always the best under any circumstances, but it feels a bit troublesome to ask for his help again." Mr. Giant Dragon compromised, spreading his hands and twisting his own Ring of Andrey.

"My old friend, I need your help!"

A cerulean portal opened in front of Lyle, and beneath the exquisite mage’s robes were floating silver chains, with a bronze mask worn on the face. As always, Scholar Sir was reliable today.

The Blue Dragon Priest, Humanoid Magic Net Node, King of Magic, the strongest ’Universal Socket,’ stepped out of the portal.

Scholar Sir first looked around, sliding his fingers through the ripples in space-time, murmuring to himself, "A strange node, this world still has places that feel strange to me..."

Mr. Giant Dragon opened his arms, warmly welcoming his old friend.

"Welcome to my home, Scholar."

"Your home..." The Scholar put his confusion aside as this was the territory of the Giant Dragon, a retreat of a master of Spirit Summoning Studies. The complex restrictions were understandable. "How do you need my help... I understand now."

The Scholar’s gaze fell upon the crown in Lyle’s hand.

"Andrey’s Crown of the Lich."

The Lich Crown actually responded to the Scholar’s greeting, producing a Mana Silk Thread in the air to wave and greet the Scholar. Unlike the annoyance it showed towards other professors, keep in mind that when Mr. Giant Dragon had intended to approach earlier, the Lich Crown nearly slipped out of hand and attempted to launch a suicidal attack.

"Scholar Sir, was it perhaps once favored by the Crown of the Lich?" An ex-boyfriend appears?!

The Scholar shook his head slightly, "We merely know of each other’s existence. After all, I was once very close to donning the crown of the age. To the embodiment of a race’s power, I might also be considered somewhat special. But this is probably also the reason why the Lich Crown won’t touch me, after all, I am not only a lich but also a Dragon Priest."

Understood, Mr. Scholar would indeed be a suitable husband for Andrè’s Crown of the Lich, even though he’s suitable, it won’t do, still no match for Mr. Raymond, the golden bachelor. Lyle thought crookedly in his heart and came upon a doubt.

"But isn’t Mr. Raymond a pioneer of the Age of Holy Light? That means this era’s crown belongs to him, he is the king of this era’s races, so why can the Lich Crown accept Mr. Raymond?"

Mr. Scholar pondered slightly, gazing at the distant mountain wall that soared into the clouds, its peak invisible.

"Maybe Raymond has never considered himself a ’king’, even if the crown is already in his hands, he has not donned the crown."

He foresaw the king’s demise early on, hence he rejected that loneliness. Or perhaps, he deemed such loneliness beneath his consideration.

"Although the Lich Crown will not accept me, it surely won’t resist my magic," Mr. Scholar approached Lyle and extended both hands, the abundant Mana Silk Threads entwined around the Lich Crown, devoured by the crown.

Around Lyle, a Mana Storm whipped up, a result of Mr. Scholar slowly lifting the Lich Crown, creating Mana Overflow. The magic net node connected this planet’s magic net, channeling infinite magical power into the increasingly mighty Lich Crown.

The style of the crown became more and more extravagant, the glow more and more dazzling. It slowly rose in front of Lyle, like a fireball. The Mana Storm reached a critical point and then quietly dissipated, leaving Lyle smoothing his clothes that had billowed messily. He watched the artifact in front of him with a glow that was now subdued.

The appearance of Andrè’s Crown of the Lich had not changed in Mr. Scholar’s hands, and was even less eye-catching than before. But when Lyle used Mana Sensing, he saw that the Lich Crown had become a vortex of magic, the sole dominator of power in this part of the world.

Mr. Scholar gently placed the crown upon Lyle’s head, fiddled with the chin of the Dragon Priest’s mask again and again, then made slight adjustments to the Lich Crown atop Lyle’s head and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"There’s some presence now, Lyle," Mr. Scholar patted Lyle’s shoulder reassuringly, "So we’re counting on you for our future, keep it up, kid." He reopened a summoning portal, and the utilitarian scholar prepared to leave quite directly.

Mr. Giant Dragon called after him. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I thought you would naturally join our plan. Although Zhiyan managed to obtain the Firstborn of the Dragon’s physical information, he surely knows less than you, who has lived alongside the Giant Dragon. Moreover, as the strongest Mage, your presence would certainly be of great benefit to Lyle."

"But not this time, my old friend," Mr. Scholar frankly refused the Giant Dragon’s invitation, "I understand how important your experiment is, but I also have a very important job right now. We need to gather our racial power to prepare for the creation of your ’Dragon Crown’."

"A coronation ceremony? But we haven’t even completed the dragon creation plan yet. If we fail, wouldn’t the efforts of you five be in vain?"

"You are right, so please avoid such a situation, don’t let our efforts go to waste," Mr. Scholar, half his body disappearing into the portal, said, "I’ve given you all I can offer, the information on the Giant Dragon, the creator abilities of the Evil God, and the support of the Five Great Dragon Followers. Compared to these, my presence is negligible."

"There’s just one thing you need to pay attention to."

"Trust in the power of the Evil God, Lyle, trust in your own judgments."

Mr. Scholar disappeared into the summoning portal with a meaningful expression.

"This saying can sometimes be equated with truth..."

"Existence, is necessity."
