Lorraine's eagerness to leave was not to return and claim credit.

The merfolk at the bottom of the lake had an urgent matter to report to him. The darkfin merfolk used the power of water element to send a communication signal to the tidal amulet on his body.

The vibration from the water element made him slightly worried...

"Could it be that Tule failed to handle it and escaped to the bottom of the lake?"

With so many people around, Lorraine didn't want to reveal the fact that he could control the fishmen.

The control of large hordes of skeletons had already aroused the suspicion of War Overseer Minette, who considered Lorraine a spy for the Scourge.

Because only liches can control corpses!

Driven by a unique emotion, almost all members of the Forsaken are unwilling to be controlled or to fight with corpses...

They instinctively resent or fear liches or necromancers who devour souls and manipulate bodies!

.....

Lorraine learned from the Shadow Priest Orist that the Overlord was a spy for the Dreadlord. His information would soon spread among the Forsaken.

If he were targeted by the dreadlord Varimathras, he might be captured, interrogated, and studied.

They pressed him for details about his connection with the Scourge.

The sensitive forgotten people have an obsession with freedom, and the unwritten taboo is to devour their own kind and manipulate others!

......

It's already the seventh day. Now that the mission to temporarily rescue the gravedigger is complete, we need to get to Burnwood Village or Dalaran as soon as possible!

Lorraine didn't want her teacher to really suffer because of her...

......

Returning to Undercity is both an excuse and not an excuse.

The reason for returning to Undercity was, of course, that the Lich Book was the quest item mentioned by the Grand Archmage Aegwynn.

Aegwynn's rewards won't be too bad.

Strengthening our capabilities will make our upcoming adventures more secure, since the real battleground lies ahead!

......

Before returning to the city, there's something I need to take care of...

Once outside Wolfsburg, avoid the gaze of the gravedigger sentries standing guard above the castle.

I ventured into the grove, retrieved the tide amulet from the slope near the lake, and gently placed it into the water...

A ripple spread across the lake, and soon several fish-men emerged from the surface.

The leader was none other than the shaman priest of the Darkfin Murlocs...

"Tidebringer, you have finally called upon us! The lich you ordered us to capture is harming the people of the Tide God. Please save us..."

"What? Tule is still alive!"

The old merman looked deeply troubled; the two eye bags on his face seemed about to fly off...

“We pulled him into the water as the messenger instructed, for fear that he would control the zombie fish lurking underwater and kill them all.”

"He struggled for a moment and then died. But after he died, he transformed into a lich, freezing himself at the bottom of the lake and freezing all my people inside..."

......

"Is this even possible? The psychic is amazing! Take me to see it!"

"We've transported the ice block and the frozen people to another island. Messenger, please come with us..."

......

Lorraine turned her head to look around; there was no one else there.

He dived into the water and followed the old fishermen, swimming for three minutes before quickly reaching another small island.

The surrounding mist wouldn't easily reveal their location, and the fish-men were already waiting on the island. Many of them, their faces filled with fear, prostrated themselves before a massive block of ice...

"What are they doing?"

"The children believe this is the power of the water elemental god. So they are praying..."

......

Once you arrive on the island, you'll find a huge block of ice in the center.

Scattered around were several smaller ice blocks, within which fish-men of various shapes and sizes were embedded, some of whose eyes even seemed to move...

"Waaaaaaah! Wow..."

After the old merman led Lorraine to the island, he began to shout loudly.

Lorraine, of course, couldn't understand it.

The fishmen, as if they had seen a savior, stopped worshipping the ice blocks and instead bowed directly to Lorraine.

Lorraine was completely dumbfounded; this was even better treatment than what he had received from the Dark Tide tribe.

They worship him like a god... Is this Tide Amulet really that powerful?

It seems I've never really used the Murloc's treasures... The teacher said the Tide Amulet's effect is to stun someone for 3 seconds. It's a treasure that can be used in combat.

I've been using it as a token of my affection for a while now.

I completely forgot what it was used for!

......

"Your Excellency, please save your believers!"

"How to save?"

"Use your divine power to free the child of water from the imprisonment of the power of death!"

"What do you mean?"

.....

"It's about getting them out of the ice, I guess that's what the old merman meant..."

The teacher's voice came, and Lorraine suddenly realized...

"But teacher, I don't know how! I don't even know how they got like this. Didn't you say that humans can drown in water? How did this fellow human become like this!"

Inside the ice block in the center of the island lies the remains of a human, which belonged to the monk Tule.

However, looking into the ice from the outside, one can see that Master Tule has become a skeleton, his flesh and blood gone. Why did he turn into solid ice after death, freezing the surrounding fishmen as well?

.....

Roland didn't understand either; judging from its appearance, it resembled the effect of an ice mage's ultimate skill, Ice Barrier.

Encased in an incredibly hard block of ice, immune to all damage for 10 seconds.

Unable to move, unable to release, unable to attack...

【Ice Barrier】is the ultimate survival skill for ice-based archmages...

Could it be that this Tule has also learned this trick?

.....

"Lorraine, step back! The thing inside the ice might still be alive!"

Lorraine quickly retreated several steps, causing the old murloc and the surrounding murloc warriors to kneel and back in a circle...

"Teacher, are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure... but if it really is an ice barrier, it's possible that the necromancer could ignore all damage..."

"Didn't you say that a human would drown in one minute underwater?"

"Yes, but this human is a necromancer!"

Yes, necromancers' powers are too bizarre, and their abilities vary greatly.

Lorraine really didn't know how to deal with the ice, nor how to save the fishmen.

The best course of action is to leave immediately and get away from danger!

Time is of the essence...

......

"Excuse me, I have something urgent to attend to and I have to go!"

"My lord, please don't go! We are carrying out your orders, even if it means enduring the curse. The children are trapped. Please save them! They are still alive; I can feel their life force being absorbed by the ice!"

Lorraine was startled and turned around to ask:

"Is the lich in the ice still alive?"

"That lich is dead; we saw him breathe his last. But it seems there's a force protecting his remnant soul. Look, there's a cold flame burning above his head inside the ice..."

The master and apprentice stared intently at the ice block, sensing the presence of their kind, and indeed there was a faint aura of death.

"This time, it seems we can salvage the situation!"

.....

"There might even be an unexpected surprise!"
