Cause and effect, or rather, fate does exist. If there is no external influence, the apple will eventually fall to the ground, rot, and turn into seeds for the next year.
If a farmer comes to harvest the apple, then it is a natural fate for the orchard and the apple itself, because the farmer is also a part of the orchard, and being harvested is the predetermined fate of the apple.
However, if a foreign traveler passes by the orchard and conveniently takes the apple, then the apple will leave with the traveler, and the farmer won't be able to pick that apple. Everyone's fate will be changed because of the traveler's actions.
And the traveler from another world is the traveler who casually walks by and changes the course of everyone's fate.
His actions are not on the line of this world. His changes to the fate that should have been unchanging, in the end, created a chain of effects.
Every debt has a debtor, and the karma and fate that follows is shouldered by the traveler.
As for my system, it collects and converts them into Evil/Good Points. Then, under my will, it uses a mechanism similar to a wishing spell to influence the world.
Of course, this is only my own research. It may be correct, it may be wrong. But a coincidence, a game guide book from another world made this conjecture more probable.
"The Great War of Aichy Purgatory is the name of this game. And this guide book from the lottery system records the details of this classic game that has been in operation for 30 years."
And the name of the continent I am currently in … is Aichy.
The world we are in is just a game from another world? I am not surprised or shocked. There are precedents of parallel worldviews, dreamers who dream of another world, prophets who transcend the limits of time and space. This is common knowledge on the continent of Aichy, and it is enough to explain all of this.
As for Purgatory … seven large-scale updates, it represents seven upheavals of this world.
In the seven Catastrophes, the continent became a living hell. And just when I was filled with confidence, thinking that I am a hero from another world and that I can change everything, I was shocked to find that after the third update, Roland Mist is actually the name of the final BOSS.
"Demon Lord Roland Mist. He brought his demon army back from the Abyss of Hell. They swore to take revenge on all life. Endless armies of the dead and demons looted the entire continent. Countless lives were lost, and countless countries were destroyed. "
Roland Mist? Isn't that my name? I actually became the final boss that destroyed the world!?
Reality isn't a game. A Demon King might not necessarily be defeated. Or rather, I, who was hailed as the Child of Radiance back then, would have any reason to become an evil and chaotic demon.
However, all of this still happened. The deepest darkness of the Holy Church, the betrayal of those I trusted, and the royalty and nobles adding insult to injury caused me, a heroic Holy Knight, to gradually break away from my faith and enter the darkness.
But since I knew the trajectory of that damned fate, as a Transmigrator who was in control of my own fate, how could I allow all of this to happen?
So, I did more things in an attempt to change fate.
As a Transmigrator who bore the power of karma, it was not difficult to change one's destiny, but to change the trajectory of the entire world was not so easy.
After a series of 'coincidences', my efforts were in vain. I failed. The torrent of history, after easily crushing me, caused everything to return to its original point.
The current me, after dying over and over again, lived on as a Lich. Naturally, I was unable to become a Demon King that attempted to destroy the world. However, it was a pity that my foolish twin brother, Cavendish Mist, took the place of my worthless older brother and did many shocking things. In the end, he stepped into the Gates of Hell alone.
Perhaps, it would not be long before I would have to face the Demon King named Cavendish Mist.
Thus, no matter what, I had to live on. Even if I had to carry this incomplete and damaged soul, I had to live until the day Cavendish returned.
Thus, no matter what, I needed power. No matter which world that power came from, no matter if that power was righteous or righteous …
"This is the vow of I, Roland Mist, to clean up my own mess! Thus, even if I have to dirty my hands, even if I have to resort to unscrupulous means, I have to obtain enough Evil Points to revive myself, increase my power, and properly deal with that foolish brother of mine. "
"Lord Lich, sorry to interrupt you. May I know if this has anything to do with the current situation? Before you get too excited, please return to reality and look behind you. "
Just as I was getting emotional, my companion beside me poured a bucket of cold water on me.
I turned around to look. Those Dark Elf ladies were already closing in. Their eyes were bloodshot from not sleeping for the entire night. Their originally charming oval faces were twisted with hatred. Looking at their extremely hateful gazes, it seemed that this was not the time to be reasonable.
"Don't run, you bastards!"
"I will definitely tear you apart alive."
"Hehehe … Leave that bone to me, leave it to me! My dowry, after 30 years of hard work, it is all gone in one night! "
"Momo, I have already bought kelp and chili. Tonight, I want to eat pork ribs soup … The pork ribs in front, did you hear that? You are the main dish today! Stop right there, Momo! "
Looks like the hatred from yesterday's explosion was not small. I would be a fool not to run. Thus, I cast a Levitation Spell on myself and secretly increased my pace.
This time, the stakes were rather high. If I were to be caught by the fully armed Town Security, even if I was left with only my bones and couldn't be torn apart, I would still be torn apart and fed to the dogs.
However, I wasn't the only one being chased.
"Beyar Brothers, why are they chasing you as well? Are you selling fake goods again? "
The Beyar Brothers were famous for being unscrupulous merchants among the greedy goblins. As long as you paid, they would sell contraband goods, fake goods, and anything else. Furthermore, in order to save money and avoid taxes, they didn't even apply for a business license.
Of course, such illegal merchants had at least been attacked by the Town Security many times. Through these confrontations, we had also forged a deep revolutionary friendship.
"Who knows what's going on with these women. It seems like some idiot has offended these crazy women. Since yesterday afternoon, they've been conducting a manhunt of the entire city, saying things like 'For the sake of the law, strike down the criminals severely and swiftly', 'Strike down illegal merchants and perverts, return Sulfur Mountain City to its beautiful blue sky', pui!"
Jinya Beyar, a Master Engineer, was the older brother. At this moment, his thick hair had been shaved off, and he seemed to be displeased that he had been caught in an undeserved calamity.
In my vision, even though he didn't look impressive, it showed that he was already a LV59 Goblin Engineer, just a step away from LV60 Gold-rank.
"These women are too incredible. A small Town Security is actually made up of Holy Temple Knight and Holy Sword Knight. Their equipment is also good. Putting aside the fact that they are covered in Dwarven Mithril Heavy Armor, coupled with the Dark Elves' innate ability to resist magic, they are already as hard as steel cans. Yet, the captains are all equipped with God Equipment. With such equipment and formation, they are more than enough to participate in the War of Gods and Demons. Why are you Town Security? "
Yingou Beyar was the younger brother. His clothes were burnt, and in the process of being captured, his treasured Alchemy tools were all destroyed. Right now, he was also extremely furious.
A LV57 Great Alchemist should be good at saving lives. However, those related to Goblins were somewhat unreliable.
At the very least, in my memory, Yingou's medicine would cause half of it to explode. As for the other half? It would explode even if you don't eat it!
"Just bear with it. The rumor of Sulfur Mountain City's 3000 Town Security conquering the world isn't just a day or two. Cursed gold coins, their equipment wasn't so overpowered in the past! Just wait until I find out who it was that cut off my brother's escape route and sold them such amazing equipment for a small profit. I will definitely make sure that he can't survive in Sulfur Mountain City anymore. "
"Who else? Other than the big orange-headed dwarf from the brothel, other than him, a Blacksmith Master who specializes in armor, who else can make this level of Mithril Heavy Armor? When I have some free time, I will go and smash his shop. Who asked him to harm our brothers! "
Thus, I didn't say anything. If my comrades knew that I was the one who bought their Sacred Swords, that I was the middleman for selling their heavy armor, and that I was the one who let me off by enchanting their heavy armor, it would be impossible for us to be friends anymore.
"Old Bull, what happened to you? Don't they usually not care about you? What happened? Did you commit a crime again recently? "
Beside me, there was a tall Tauren Warrior. His square face had a silly smile and his honest eyes were filled with righteousness and confusion. It seemed like he still didn't know why he was being hunted down.
"I didn't, I just asked them for some milk to drink. Their breasts are so big, so they must have quite a lot of milk. Isn't it normal for Taurens to drink milk? Isn't it normal for Taurens who love nature to be naked? Why are they chasing after me? "
Although his square face looked righteous and his honest voice carried the grievance of being wronged, he was still a pervert. Even though his face was filled with righteousness and confusion, he was still a pervert who loved to run around naked.
At this moment, he was still completely naked. His muscular and wild body incited the screams of the women on the roadside. He, too, couldn't stop waving his arms to greet a certain object …
"The perverted Bull Demon King is out again!"
"Mom! So scary! I can't get married anymore! "
"Where? Where? Let me see what size toothpick you are waving around so casually. Oh oh oh, as expected of a Tauren. It's not a toothpick but a mace. The Tauren in front, stop, let me try. "
The screams and mysterious voices behind him made him even more pleased. As he ran, he did all kinds of bodybuilding movements, causing all kinds of screams.
Even though he was a monster, others might not know, but in my eyes, the Tauren Xueti was actually a level 89 Legend-rank Great Warrior. Even in Sulfur Mountain City, where experts were as common as the clouds, he could be considered one of the best.
But no matter how strong he was, he was still a pervert … Because it was very important, I had to say it twice.
"Damn it! They actually had silver arrows that had been blessed! Orloss's Sacred Emperor Sword, Angel Slaying Sword, f * * k, they actually have dozens of nameless evil swords. Even the luxurious Ottoman Empire wasn't as ridiculous as them. "
The one running at the front was Lilith Milan, known as the Prince of the Dark Night. She was famous throughout the city for being passionate but not promiscuous. She was the secret lover or dream lover of countless noble ladies in Sulfur Mountain City.
However, even though she valued her elegance as much as her life, she was still in a sorry state. Even a level 72 Gold-rank Blood Tribe Swordsman could only be crushed in front of a bunch of iron cans.
Yes, it's her, not him … People gave her nicknames, Crazy Wild Lily, Passionate Milan, Moving Obscenity, Female Pervert.
Due to being suppressed by the Town Security, we formed the Free Gentlemen Alliance (also known as the Perverted Alliance in the pugilistic world). The Naked Minotaur King, Moving Obscenity, and Explosive Maniac Brothers were our other nicknames.
When our comrades were all caught in the 'Strike Hard and Fast According to the Law, Strike Hard' campaign, we, the stronger higher-ups of the alliance, became the last survivors.
"Crazy Lich with water in his head! Even the weakest Lich is a Legend-rank. When we get back, we can use [Great Disjunction] to get rid of those women. "
"If it was 300 years ago, I could still try … Now that my phylactery is damaged, my control over it has decreased. [Great Disjunction] can be used, but it's not easy to control the target. I won't die, are you sure? "
[Great Disjunction] was the trump card of a top-notch Mage. Legend has it that it could destroy anyone it caught. However, I had no love for conventional magic, and now that my phylactery was damaged, of course I couldn't use it. But even if I lost, I wouldn't back down.
"Tsk, useless fool!"
As expected, when I mentioned the danger of losing control, they, who were afraid of death, wouldn't allow me to use it.
However, if I were to continue being chased by the Town Security, my reputation as a good person would go down the drain. Thus, I took action.
"Oil Spell!"
The instant cast of a 1-circle Arcane Spell created a large layer of slippery oil in front of us. However, as a Lich, it was basic to use magic to float. Thus, I floated over.
"… What is the use of a 1-circle Arcane Spell? The weakest of those fellows behind us is at least Bronze-rank."
In the eyes of the displeased Golden Tooth, 1-circle Arcane Spells were meaningless to any warrior with a bit of strength.
However, this common sense only applied to normal Mages. I was no normal Mage.
"Bam!"
Just as he finished boasting, Golden Tooth fell to the ground. Then, his legs kept slipping, and he couldn't stand up no matter what.
"Golden Tooth, you are just good at talking. Look at me … That's not right, I'm so slippery!!"
Right after that, his younger brother Yingou, who had just mocked his elder brother, followed in his footsteps.
"I can improve it."
Not only did I improve it, I created it from scratch.
A normal Oil Spell would only create a smooth grease made from animal fat. However, what I created was a lubricant for machinery from another world. Furthermore, I had also adjusted the friction of the road to ensure that there was zero friction.
After my level was locked, I was unable to grasp higher-rank spells. Naturally, I put in a lot of effort into improving my current spells.
A slightly more experienced Warrior would be able to disregard a normal Oil Spell. As for the new Super Oil Spell, even though it was only a 2-circle Arcane Spell, even a Gold-rank Warrior would have to be careful of it.
However, my arrogance was immediately smacked in the face by the cruel reality.
"Ha!"
That bull actually used his hooves as a skateboard and slid over as though he was skiing. As he slid, he even winked at the Town Security. That seemingly cumbersome body of his actually had excellent balance.
"Not bad, the Mad Lich's head isn't flooded with water even once in a while."
As for the cunning female vampire, she jumped onto the back of the stupid cow and hitched a ride with it.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Seeing the Town Security approaching, we ignored the Beyar Brothers who were still rolling around in the oil picking up the soap and sped away.
As expected, the group of Dark Elf Knight Town Security wearing heavy armor fell onto the oil one after another.
"Damn it, why is it so slippery!!"
The Vice-captain Victoria who was leading the group stood up with difficulty. Just as she was about to complain, she slid down once more.
"Save me!" The cries of the Beyar Brothers could be heard.
That Ox-Head was still planning to show off his muscles to save them, but Lilith pulled him along to run.
"Those fellows are wearing heavy armor, they won't be able to come over …"
"I'm not worried about them. If they realize that they can't escape, you can't have forgotten what the Beyar Brothers are carrying on their bodies, right?"
Ox-Head's reaction was just slow, but he wasn't stupid. He slapped his head and continued running with his head lowered.
"Boom!!" The explosion behind us proved that our judgement was absolutely correct.
Engineering and Alchemy specialize in explosions. If we add the prefix 'Goblin Engineering' in front of it, the chances of an explosion would increase by at least ten times. Not to mention the Beyar Brothers being driven into a corner, they were carrying too many random things on them. If they were to bump into them a few more times and fall a few more times, they might just explode.
"Bastard, catch those two idiots."
"They are running, hurry up and chase after them!"
Smoke lingered behind us. The oil created by the Grease Spell increased the intensity of the fire. However, judging from the curses behind us, such a small scale explosion could only be considered as a small inconvenience to the Mythril Heavy Armor Knight.
However …
"Grease Spell!" "Grease Spell!" "Grease Spell!"
Thus, our backs were all smooth. Foolish Elves, carry your heavy armor and slowly test your balance skills.
"Die!!"
Following a shout, I realized that I was celebrating too early.
The one who came from the corner of the street was the leader of the Town Security, Diana. The Sacred Sword in her hands, the Silver Avenger, was the one I sold to her previously.
We hurriedly turned in another direction, only to see a group of Dark Elf Knight rushing out from another corner of the street. The one leading them was the vice-leader of the Town Security, Yawen.
"Damn it, it's a trap!"
The three of them converged, we were cornered!
"Bastard! I thought that you were really a good person, but in the end … All the dresses I just bought were ruined! "
"And my snacks!"
"My cosmetics!"
"And Momo's mimi!"
"Isn't your mimi always this small?"
"No! It's my pet kitty mimi! Also, my chest size is at least bigger than yours. "
"I am a man, don't you feel embarrassed comparing yourself to me?"
"I'm sorry, little brother, you look too feminine. I really forgot that you are a man."
The noisy Dark Elf Knight surrounded us from three directions, ignoring the Dark Elf siblings who were quarreling among themselves. From the looks of it, they were rubbing their fists, ready to strike.
This situation was also within my expectations. The most important thing now is …
I did a somersault, dodging the slash coming from my back. Then, using a Levitation Spell, I forcefully rose a foot on the spot, dodging the pursuing rapier.
"Bastard, as expected, you are dragging us down again! How many times have you dragged us down this time?! "
As expected, the ones behind me were the apologetic but merciless Old Cow and the scolding Mad Lady Vampire.
… As expected, the most important thing now is to get rid of these two idiots who are used to betraying their comrades. They are much more cunning and difficult to deal with than these Dark Elves. After realizing that I was the one who caused them to be hunted down this time, they would definitely sell me out mercilessly.
If I were to be captured and sent to prison, even if the Dark Elves don't mistreat prisoners, these fellow prisoners would still take good care of me.
"Ah, I definitely can't be captured!"
Under the encirclement of two of the top ten Warriors in Sulfur Mountain City, I dodged awkwardly. The Knight by the side was also happy to see the dogs fighting each other. They had already moved their stools over to watch the show.
"Chance!"
However, how could these women understand the strong brotherhood that we had forged under oppression? With just a glance, we had already understood each other.
Bullhead grabbed me, grabbed Lilith, and threw us out.
"Bastard!"
By the time the Dark Elf Knight came to his senses, we had already escaped from the encirclement. The pitiful Old Cow, despite being the strongest, was pinned to the ground by a group of female Knight due to his senseless principle of not hitting women.
"Old Cow, I will remember your sacrifice!"
"Lich, what did you do!!"
"Yesterday, they captured me and I blew up their barracks."
"Well done! I have wanted to do that for a long time. "
I chuckled, seemingly pleased with myself. Then, I casually pointed at her.
"Word of Truth: Freeze!"
Thus, under my sudden attack, the defenseless female vampire froze.
Although my Word of Truth could only freeze her for a few seconds, it was enough.
Her eyes were filled with confusion. She had already escaped, so why did they still want to frame her?
But then, she came to a sudden realization. Wasn't this Mad Lich Roland famous throughout the city for harming others without benefiting himself? Otherwise, as a Lich who was the embodiment of terror, why would he be given the title of 'Brain Damaged'?
But with the arrival of the pursuers, Lilith Milan, who was pinned to the ground, no matter how angry and confused she was, all of it turned into empty words.
After she was pinned down by the Dark Elf Knight, the expected system notification finally arrived.
"Daily Quest: Betrayal completed. Quest Objective: Betray three comrades/friends/teammates who trusted you. The reward is determined according to the strength of the betrayer.
Mission Completion Details: Jinya Beyar, Yingou Beyar, Lilith Milan. The three of them possess a combat prowess of Gold-rank and above. Their combined combat prowess far exceeds the host's current combat prowess. Mission completed perfectly. Reward: 10 Evil Points.
"As expected, it was worth it to frame you guys."
Alright, the daily quest was completed and the reward was in my hands. Now, it was time for me to make my escape.
Walking to a secluded corner, I put on a unique silver robe with golden threads and a faceless silver iron mask. I stood there quietly, waiting for the pursuers to arrive.
"I … X. Sorry, my lord!! "
Turning around the corner, the Town Security who were filled with indignation just a moment ago turned into obedient little girls in front of me.
Very quickly, when Diana and the others arrived, their arrogance disappeared. It was as though they had seen their superior. All of them were as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak. Finally, as the leader, she mustered her courage.
"Supreme Judge Lord Wumianzhe, why are you here?"
That's right, I, the Lich Roland Mist, had another identity. I was the highest law enforcer of this city, Supreme Judge Wumianzhe. I wasn't their superior, but the superior of their superior's superior's superior.
