Chapter 263 Cemetery Rose
After the banquet.
"Espeth, since you know Liu Li, you should arrange his accommodation."
Emmanuelle pushed Liu Li to Espes without giving her time to speak.
In the night wind.
Elspeth and Liu Li looked at each other.
"Liu Li!" Felix, reeking of alcohol, walked towards Liu Li, with several maids supporting him from behind. "The Empire is a great place, you'll definitely love this feeling! I won't go back to sleep tonight, you and Gotrek can do whatever you want... hiccup..."
"Remember to enjoy life while you can, brother."
"See you tomorrow."
Felix patted Liu Li's shoulder ambiguously, and then walked away with the help of the maid.
"I have to go see an old friend."
Gotrek yawned and said to Liu Li.
He didn't really fit in at the party the whole night, and even sent away the maid who was pouring wine. He ate and drank to his heart's content by himself.
The Empire's attitude towards dwarves is better than that towards other races.
But I still feel a little bit dissatisfied inside.
"Okay, see you later." Liu Li nodded.
The three of them separated one after another, leaving Liu Li alone sighing.
Felix is originally from the Empire.
Returning to the Empire was like returning home.
Although Gotrek was disliked by many, there were still some dwarves willing to deal with him.
So Liu Li was the only one left in the empire.
"I'll find a hotel and we can talk about Nagash tomorrow."
Liu Li turned around and looked at Espes, who had a puzzled look in his eyes.
"See you tomorrow."
Liu Li waved his hand and walked into the darkness whistling.
"Forget it!" Elspeth suddenly called out to Liu Li, "Come back, don't go."
"What's wrong?" Liu Li looked confused.
"Let's go to my place." Elspeth sighed. "My place is more convenient. The inn is not suitable for the hero of Nuln."
"All right……"
Elspeth's residence, isn't that the Black Tower in More's Garden?
The location of the Imperial Death God.
"Don't be in a daze, follow me."
Seeing that Liu Li was still standing there in a daze, Espes urged with a dark face.
Liu Li during the Battle of Nuln was completely different from the Liu Li he is now.
Even though we were only together for a day or two.
Espes clearly felt that Liu Li was hiding something in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't always look so worried.
"Liu Li, how old are you?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Elspeth asked the question he wanted to ask most.
"About five hundred years old."
Liu Li spoke without thinking, causing Elspeth to frown.
But this also made Elspeth at least certain of one thing.
Liu Li's actual age is as young as he looks.
"I'm curious, how did you know Tamur Khan's purpose?"
Elspeth breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask Liu Li with confidence.
Since the other party is not an old monster who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, he can't be that bad.
"I can see part of the future," Liu Li said seriously. "I tried to stop Tamer Khan when he set out, but failed."
"The power of prophecy?" Elspeth nodded.
People with this ability were rare, but Elspeth knew of many.
Although most of them are believers of evil gods, there are also many who can simply see scenes of the future.
Liu Li smiled faintly.
As expected, vague statements make people more believable.
"I've also seen other prophecies..." Liu Li continued to reveal, "The destruction of Middenheim, and the rise of the black pyramid in Sylvania..."
"Middenheim? Black Pyramid?" Elspeth might not be clear about the former, but the only one related to the Black Pyramid was Nagash.
"Yes." Liu Li nodded, "So I thought of you. When it comes to death magic, no one except you can fight against Nagash."
Even Elspeth found it hard to hide his smile upon hearing such a comment.
Death magic is not mainstream in the empire.
To avoid suspicion, Elspeth also changed his name to Amethyst Mage.
Liu Li is powerful and has the power of prophecy.
Being recognized by such a person, Esperston felt much more relaxed.
"You're wrong, Liu Li." Elspeth immediately put away his smile. "No one can stand up to Nagash. He is the god who controls the magic of death."
"But what if the wind of Shaxu is added?" Liu Li asked back.
In the Warhammer world, the eight winds of magic can be said to be the eight elements that make up the world.
As long as you can obtain one of the eight winds.
It means being invincible in the world.
"The Eight Winds of Magic have long been sealed by the Elf Mage. How could there be a chance of obtaining it?"
Elspeth shook his head silently, thinking that such a thing was a fantasy.
Liu Li nodded slightly. Knowing the plot at the end, he was not panicked at all.
"So why do you insist on me going to Aurora? Is there anyone there who can help us?"
Elspeth had subconsciously changed his words to "we", and it was obvious that he accepted Liu Li in his heart.
Liu Li smiled.
"Because there is a living god of death in Aurora, she is the only one in the world!"
"The living god of death?" Elspeth was stunned.
"You'll understand when you meet her." Liu Li kept it a secret.
He was referring, of course, to the poet Yama.
Since the Battle of Chilei, the sealed part of Liu Li's memory has been successfully unlocked.
He recalled his experience in Shi Yama's mausoleum.
There is also a poem in which Yama gives warning to himself.
What does "not yet time" mean?
It seems that this cheap aunt of mine is not simple either.
The black tower was not far from the two of them.
It didn't take them long to get there.
"There's a different world."
Inside the black tower, Liu Li was amazed by the luxurious decorations.
When Espes saw Liu Li like this, he felt a sense of pride inexplicably.
"Hasn't the descendant of the Zhendan Dragon ever seen a place like this?"
"I've never seen one." Liu Li sighed, "Either they sleep in the barracks, or in a small cubicle, with basically just one bed."
Liu Li's confession surprised Elspeth.
At his age, he should be more concerned about his reputation.
Liu Li had indeed never seen a residence carved entirely from gems and crystals.
Moreover, in order to prevent dust from falling, hiring someone to clean the house will cost a lot of money.
Seeing this, Elspeth felt a little bored, so he took Liu Li to a guest room.
Although it feels like no one has ever lived in it, the furnishings are still luxurious.
"Liu Li, you never told me the detailed prophecy of the Battle of Nuln..."
Espes and Liu Li sat in the hall, savoring her collection of fine wine, which was many times better than the one at the banquet.
"What is the end of Nunn in the prophecy?"
Elspeth wanted to know what Liu Li saw in the prophecy.
Liu Li silently took a sip of wine, then met Espeth's eyes with an extremely serious expression.
"Nun waited for the Empire's support, and Tamur Khan and Theodore perished together..."
"And me?"
"You're going to die, so I'm here."
