This lich needs more money

Chapter 389: Even the Lord of the Dawn doesn’t believe it

James Watson was puzzled by Ambrose's confidence.

 “Do you really know what the Blood of Lathander is?” James Watson asked.

Amberxiu replied: "I've heard that it is a sword stained with the blood of the Lord of the Morning, right?"

"It's not that simple." James Watson said with great solemnity: "The Ryan Empire has three major artifacts. The first is naturally the dragon weapon, and the second is Lathander, which can turn people's faith into the power of holy light. Crown. But these two artifacts are generally unusable, so the one that has been used the most in recent years is the Blood of Lathander.”

Amberxiu nodded, and then said: "Master Morgan was killed by the Silver Moon Knight using this artifact. I have heard this story."

The Ryan Empire will not tell the outside world the details of the crusade against the undead, but Apoptotic Rose knows it very well. She was an eyewitness at the time.

Apoptotic Rose originally escaped from Ryan and was hunted down all the way. She was forced into the Underdark and plunged into the mercury sea.

Master Morgan protected the soul of Apoptotic Rose and helped her transform into a lich.

Master Morgan is the author of the theory of zombies. He is also a powerful lich. He has countless undead under his command, as well as many zombies who are not afraid of the holy light.

Silver Moon Knight led his troops into the Underdark. This complicated maze-like place limited Ryan's military advantage. In the repeated sneak attacks and wars of attrition, the Lane people brought by the Silver Moon Knight also suffered heavy losses.

 Master Morgan is also accompanied by the Apoptotic Rose, whose death gaze ability is also the nemesis of the living.

 But even so, he was eventually killed by the Silver Moon Knight all the way to Master Morgan.

 Not only because the Silver Moon Knight is powerful, but more importantly because of the blood of Lathander.

"If I'm not mistaken, this blood of Lathander has two effects. It can resurrect the user after death, and it can also make the undead blind. Is that right?" Amberxiu asked.

James Watson was a little surprised at first, but considering the Lich’s connections, it doesn’t seem to be surprising.

"That's true. The resurrection effect is the second. If you can kill the user of the artifact, resurrection is just another death. The real most powerful effect is the second one. The blood of Lathander can isolate the perception of the undead. .

“You will not only become blind, you will also become deaf. You will completely enter the void, and you will not be able to feel the destruction of your soul. This is also the mercy of the Lord of the Morning, granting you a painless death.”

 The undead have no eyes and ears, so they rely on perception to experience the world. The world is like a detailed instruction manual. And if he lost his senses, Amberxiu wouldn't even be able to tell whether he was lying down or standing.

This is where the blood of Lathander is most powerful, it is the true nemesis of the undead.

When James Watson saw that Amber Xiu was silent, he continued: "Not to mention these two effects, the blood of Lathander was originally the sword of the Holy King, the sword that killed the dragon tyrant, and it was stained with The blood of the demon dragon has its own permanent acceleration effect and can resist the influence of most of the time..."

The former supreme judge talked a lot, all talking about the power of this artifact.

Amberxiu became impatient and said to James Watson: "Why are you talking so much? I'm not prepared to face this artifact myself."



“You set up such a big stage just to show others your strength. It’s impossible for you to avoid battle.”

"Haha, I never said to avoid fighting. Originally, I was a little worried that these seven legends would be in trouble, but after hearing your introduction so excitedly, it seems that neither the legendary paladins nor the light priests are important, only the artifacts are important. In that case , they will only lose worse.

“Did the Lord of the Dawn teach you to place your hopes of victory on an artifact? On the battlefield, if there is any problem with the artifact, what do you think they will do?”

James Watson was stunned for a moment by Amberxiu's words, and said doubtfully: "There's something wrong with the artifact? Can you still... wait, you got his oracle?!"

James Watson was startled by the thought of himself, a lich, receiving an oracle from the Lord of the Morning? Did the Lord of the Dawn tell him that this artifact couldn't be used?

 He definitely didn't believe it before, but now that James Watson knows about the corruption of the Ryan royal family, it's hard to say whether Ryan can still be protected by the Lord of the Morning.

Not to mention, Arthur Lane's heroic spirit is still in Amberxiu's hands. It's really hard to say whose side the Lord of the Morning is on.

Amberxiu patted James Watson on the shoulder and said: "What are you thinking? Even if the Lord of the Dawn wants to give me an oracle, I can't stand it. Holy light and dark magic are energies that are in conflict with each other. He wants God to descend on me." It exploded immediately.”

James Watson was slightly relieved after hearing this. Although it was true, he always felt that Amber Brother had some outrageous means.

 “What on earth can you do?” James Watson asked doubtfully.

“Tell you, can you promise not to spread the word?” Amberxiu asked.

James Watson said: "You know who I am, and I will definitely do what I promised. And you also know my current identity, and you can tell me everything." After finishing speaking, James Watson also said with sincerity He looked at Amber Xiu with his eyes.

Amberxiu said: "You boy, you should agree first. If you agree, then use your words to get around me. I got tired of using this trick three hundred years ago!"

After talking for a long time, James Watson did not promise not to spread the news. He just changed the subject and urged Amberxiu to explain. This Supreme Judgment has also learned how to use language to deceive people.

James Watson blushed. He really wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Amber Xiu right away. This lich is indeed cunning!

“Then what do you want? I’ve come all the way here to remind you that you don’t even have this little trust?” James Watson said excitedly.

"Wow, you are playing moral kidnapping, right? Have you ever seen the undead talk to you about morality? If you want to know, yes, you swear to the Lord of the Dawn, no matter how vicious, cruel, or insidious the plan is, you will You can’t tell anyone in any way, even talking in sleep will be considered a violation of your oath.”

Those who break their oaths will go to hell, especially believers who swear by gods. The consequences will be even more dire after breaking the oath.

 James Watson originally thought about not saying anything, but when he heard Amber Shoe adding so many prefixes, saying something vicious and cruel, James Watson really didn't dare to swear.

Even though he has left Ryan, he is still a believer in the Lord of the Dawn. If Amberxiu's plan is extremely cruel, as a light priest, he cannot pretend not to have seen it, let alone stand idly by.

However, if you become a coward because of this and ignore this evil deed, wouldn’t you also be disrespecting the teachings of the Lord of the Dawn?

James Watson is at war with nature and feels like he has reached a crossroads in his life, not knowing which direction to go.

Failing to stop Amberxiu may allow an extremely cruel plan to be implemented. If Amberxiu is stopped, the Lion Royal Family will continue to corrupt the empire and corrupt everyone.

This kind of moral torture is particularly effective for people with high moral standards. James Watson only felt a pain in his heart and a feeling of being out of breath.

It would be nice if he was still the supreme judge and left everything to Lane's law to judge. But after he resigned, this cold but effective rule became ineffective, leaving James Watson in confusion.

James Watson is wavering like this. He wants to be a good person but is incapable of being a good person, but he also cannot be a bad person, so he cannot lead the Lane people to revolution.

Amberson happily admired James Watson's struggle. It's time for this old boy to repay his debt for rejecting the manuscript.

Seeing the old man covering his heart and looking like he was about to die of anger, Amberxiu said to him: "Well, we are all old friends. I think I will give you a discount based on our old friendship. It was planned. I definitely can’t tell you the details, but if you give me one thousand gold coins, I will kill one less Lane person. If you dare to give me tens of millions of gold coins, then none of the Lane people’s army will have to die. What do you think? ?”

When James Watson heard this, he immediately roared: "How can I give you any money?"

 They have all resigned, and even their salaries have been lost. James Watson has never done anything like corruption or bribery. Now that he has left Ryan, he really has nothing to lose. Not to mention a thousand gold coins, he can't even get out a single gold coin.

Amberson suddenly lost interest and said to James Watson: "Then get out of here, I don't provide food here!"

 After saying that, he was sent away and he didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.

 It’s no good that the gods don’t care about you, let alone the lich.

  James Watson is driven out by a group of undead and once again boards the ship on which he came.

Looking at the island that was submerged in the illusion again, James Watson couldn't help but open a magic bag and took out a magic mirror.

In order to increase the power of the God of Alchemy as soon as possible, Amberxiu gave away this magic mirror for free to many people. James Watson also had one.

He could have communicated with Ambrier directly with the magic mirror, but James Watson thought about it or decided to send a letter in person. He didn't want to believe the safety of this alchemy product. Such important news was better to send it in person.

 Unexpectedly, I need to use it now.

 But James Watson did not contact Amber Hew, but contacted his son Cade Watson.

A drunken appearance of Cade Watson appeared on the magic mirror. James Watson angrily scolded his son. Since he was a child, this boy has been the most greedy for pleasure and the laziest. But this time, he really had no one to discuss with.

The eldest son has completely broken up with himself. Allen is now too busy every day. Although Cade is lazy, James Watson knows that this son is the smartest one in the family and the one with the most spare money.

 After telling Cade about his experience, James Watson asked: "How much money do you have? Lend me all of it. This lich is desperate for money. If you give him money, you will know his plan."

Cade Watson's head was not yet fully awake, but after hearing this, he quickly said: "Father, what are you thinking? You were deceived by the lich again. You told me that all the heroic spirits of the Holy King are here His hand, and it was voluntary. Although I don't know what the lich's plan is, the Holy King has recognized the kindness and justice of this lich, how can we doubt it?

"To be disrespectful, father, how many people have you saved in your life compared to a fraction of this lich? Will he commit a massacre? Even the Lord of the Dawn doesn't believe it."
