This lich needs more money

When Amberxiu was busy with his own affairs, he was dug out by the God of Alchemy and asked to attend the meeting of the nations. Amberxiu clearly expressed his refusal.

"The meeting hosted by the Lord of the Dawn appears to be about Ryan's apology and compensation, but in fact it is the Lord of the Dawn asking everyone to show off their face. What's so interesting about this? Isn't it just to see how much benefit the Lord of the Dawn gives?"

Amberxiu didn't like this boring cake-sharing game, especially when the knife for dividing the cake was held in the hands of the gods.

In addition, he now has a good relationship with the Lord of Dawn, so there is no need to conflict with the Lord of Dawn for such a small benefit in the mortal world.

"This was Flynn's suggestion. It's rare that he figured it out."

The God of Alchemy told Amberxiu about Gustavo Flynn’s thoughts. However, Amberxiu showed no joy after hearing this. Instead, he sighed and said, “Teacher, I think you just see him as pitiful, that’s why you believe it.” After hearing his nonsense, I suddenly realized that the probability of it happening to someone like him is too small.”

The God of Alchemy touched his chin and said doubtfully: "Are you too suspicious? What other conspiracy can he have? Now that the Alchemy Association has been messed up by you, even if he borrows money from the goblins, the final result will be It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. As alchemy knowledge continues to spread, this old method of dividing profits will not last for a few more years.”

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "I'm not saying that he has any conspiracy to hurt us, I just...forget it, I'll talk to him personally. Don't you want me to give advice to the dwarves? I'm just right Take this opportunity to talk to the new king of the dwarves."

The magic mirror can make Amber Xiu everywhere, so there is no need to waste time on the road. In the blink of an eye, he can appear in the secret room deep in the dark underground.

After seeing Ambrose wearing a clown mask, Gustavo Flynn's eyelids jumped uncontrollably, but he quickly put on a smile and said, "Old friend, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Amber Xiu said hello rather perfunctorily, and then looked at the young dwarf aside.

Although Seth Uri already knew who he was facing, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw Amber Xiu.

Seth Yuri said excitedly: "Ultraman Master? Is it really you?"

Amber Xiu also said politely: "Your Excellency Yuri, I didn't expect to meet the descendants of the Alpine Clan. When I was a novice adventurer, I met a dwarf warrior from the Alpine Clan. His name was Named Zane Yuri.”

"Uncle Zane? Do you know Uncle Zane? But I have never heard him mention your name." Seth Uri said in surprise.

Amberxiu recalled it for a while, and then said: "We are close friends... Oh, I used another name when I was an adventurer. Let me think about it, when I went on adventures with Zane, my name was It’s called Taff.”

"Taf!" Seth Uri's originally excited expression instantly became a little embarrassed.

“This name, well, Uncle Zane does mention it often.”

Seth Uri was a bit speechless, but his heroic uncle did often mention the name. But most of the time it is "that greedy and cunning human mage", "I have never seen such a vicious guy", "his brain is a precision instrument made of gold, but he can only count money."

But whenever he encounters trouble, this uncle Zane will also say with emotion: "It would be great if that guy Taff was here."

When he returned from the battlefield against the invasion of Lion, the old dwarf warrior rarely mentioned the past events, but before his death, he still mentioned, "That bastard Taff still owes me a glass of the best wine." .

Seth Uri grew up listening to these stories. Although he didn't quite understand whether the two were friends or enemies, there was no doubt that Taff was an old friend that dwarves would talk about for hundreds of years.

But no one thought that Tafu was the great hero who died together with the dragon.

"Is Zane okay?"

Amberxiu saw Seth Uri's embarrassment, but he didn't care at all. He knew what he had done in these years, and he wouldn't be alive today if he was not shameless.

Seth Uri said with emotion: "Uncle, he returned to Moradin's arms twenty years ago."

Years of fighting and injuries, based on the lifespan of a dwarf, this uncle Zane can be considered to have died young.

"Oh, that's a pity. I still owe him a glass of good wine." Amberxiu said with emotion.

Although it was not the first time that he heard about the passing of his friend, Amberxiu also felt a little sad.

"Well, since we are the descendants of our old friends, let's forget about those useless politenesses. Your Excellency Yuri, are you ready to replace the current dwarf king?"

Seth Uri also regained his composure and showed the demeanor of a rebel leader who secretly rebelled.

"I only dedicate myself to my faith. I have no greed for the position of the Dwarf King. Moradin asked me to bring the dwarf faith back on track. The first step is to get rid of this vampire."

"In other words, the meeting of nations is actually not too important to you. What you are fighting for is status and righteousness, not so-called interests."

Seth Uri nodded and said: "Faith is my goal, but I also don't want the kingdom to suffer too much loss. I heard from Master Flynn that this meeting will affect the development of the Alchemy Association, which is enough to affect the development of the Alchemy Association." This is a big event for the entire kingdom, so I also hope you can help us fight for greater rights.

"After all, Ultraman Master, you are also one of the victims of Ryan's atrocities, aren't you?"

Amberxiu's identity as a lich was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that even though the Amboxiu in front of him seemed to have changed into a different form, Seth Uri still subconsciously treated him as a lich.

However, Amberxiu shook his head and said: "Arthur Lane is my friend, and the accounts between Lane and I have been settled long ago. Moreover, I personally don't like to add too many personal grudges when talking about interests, which will make the negotiation of interests difficult." It’s not pure enough and looks very unprofessional.”

Will adding personal grievances make interest negotiations less pure?

This is the first time Seth Uri has heard this argument, but it sounds really reasonable. As expected of the world-famous lich, his views are really novel.

"Then what is your suggestion, Master Ultraman? Are you willing to fight for greater interests for our dwarf kingdom? Of course, in return, we will try our best to meet your requirements."

Amberxiu smiled and said: "My suggestion? My suggestion is that no matter who you send to this negotiation, it is the same, because from the beginning, the meeting of the nations was not a negotiation between mortals. The divine grace of the Lord of the Morning has shrouded it again Ryan, any excessive request is a provocation to this god.

"Your Excellency Yuri, although you are the lucky one who has been favored by the gods, the Soul Forger must have communicated with the Lord of the Morning. This meeting is just an extension of the negotiations between the gods. The terms signed by mortals on paper are just the gods testing each other. The result of the compromise is the only small part that can be shown.

"So, don't argue with the gods. I believe that the dwarf gods have already prepared everything for you. So, for Zane's sake, I sincerely suggest that you just focus on the internal issues of the dwarves. The meeting of the nations There’s nothing to worry about.”

Seth Yuri felt a little incredible after hearing this, and quickly asked: "Ultraman Master, why did you say that? Did you know something in advance?"

The behavior of gods is not something that mortals can guess at random. Just thinking about it in your mind is a sin. The legendary hero in front of him spoke with certainty, as if he had known it for a long time.

Why?

None of the dwarf gods told him, so why should this person say that the gods had already discussed it?

This chat gave Seth Uri a strange feeling, as if the Ultraman master in front of him was not only a legendary hero, but also a being higher than mortals, like a prophet who conveyed the will of gods in mythology.

Wait, something is wrong, he is obviously the prophet.

Seth Uri is the true favored person of God. He walks in the mortal world with the orders of God and implements the will of God. He is a prophet.

This weird feeling made Seth Uri suspicious. Is this lich lying to him?

Amber Xiu is not surprised. His current state is indeed very special. Although he is a mortal, he has met too many gods in person, including those who were tricked by him, those who cooperated with him, and those who gave him blessings... Having seen more gods, Amberxiu's stance naturally changed.

It is difficult for him to call himself an "ordinary mortal" anymore. Even saying this makes him feel pretentious.

Amber Xiu is above mortals and is not yet full of gods. This weird state makes everything he says and does seem a bit illogical in the eyes of mortals.

But there was no way to explain this. He couldn't say to Seth Uri: "If you don't believe it, ask the dwarf gods."

Not every person favored by God treats the Kingdom of God as a back garden and can go wherever they want.

At this time, the best way is not to explain.

Amberxiu changed the topic and said to Seth Uri: "I know that such a suggestion will make people very suspicious, but I can't let the gods testify for me. But this time you invited me to help, So I can choose to refuse. I don’t want to participate in the meeting of various countries, and I don’t want to waste my time.

"Also, I have another suggestion. Regarding the plan to kill the Dwarf King, I do not recommend you to use the wish spell."

Seth Uri and Gustavo Flynn changed their expressions when they heard this.

This is the core of all plans. Use the wish spell to kill the dwarf king and completely eliminate this blasphemous undead. Why is it "not recommended" to come to Amberxiu? Could this lich want to stop their plan?

Does the vampire dwarf king have any relationship with this lich?

Seth Uri looked at Gustavo Flynn. This was the one he invited, and he should be the one to solve the problem both emotionally and rationally.

Gustavo Flynn also reacted very quickly. He said to Amber Xiu: "Old friend, I kindly gave you all the benefits, but you came to trouble me?"

"Flynn, don't be nervous. You have been there before, and you should know why it failed last time. It is a serious crime for a mortal to try to use the prayer spell in this way. If my teacher hadn't tried his best to save most people's lives, we wouldn't have been able to do it. The Alchemy City is not the only one that has been destroyed, and you cannot survive the wrath of the Lord of Knowledge."

What Ogma hates most is this kind of harmful knowledge. If the God of Alchemy hadn't sacrificed himself and shouldered most of the backlash, Ogma would have turned all the alchemists involved into idiots and then wiped them out. All records of Alchemy City.

Destroying harmful knowledge and deleting useless memories are the powers of the Lord of Knowledge.

"But this time it's different. The wishing spell is a one-time use." Gustavo Flynn said excitedly.

"Similarly, use blood sacrifice to perform the prayer spell. Once you succeed, this plan will be passed down, and there will be more knowledge in the world about killing lives and blaspheming the gods."

The biggest problem with alchemy is not its own danger, but its replicability.

The ability of a wizard to cast a spell depends on whether his intelligence level is high enough. Otherwise, he will not understand the principle of the spell, and he will be killed by the spell.

Alchemy is different. It is a simple replicable technology.

Seth Yuri relied on self-study of alchemy and the help of the goblins to improve the entire magic circle structure without the help of the legendary alchemist.

Even with the help of Moradin's blessing, the bigger reason is the replicable nature of alchemy itself.

If this thing succeeds, it will be improved again and again, and sooner or later it will be revised to the original state, and even optimized and upgraded.

Continuously sacrifice and continuously cast the wish spell. As long as you have power and influence, you can try the feeling of becoming a god. This technology is too terrible. If it is left unchecked, it will only destroy the world.

Amber has already anticipated the result of their use of the wish spell. Either Oghma will slap everyone to death with a slap, or the wish will fail and the backlash will fall on everyone.

Amber explained patiently, and Seth Yuri turned pale. He never expected this result.

"But why didn't the gods remind me?"

Seth Yuri had been preparing for this for a long time. If it really led to failure, why didn't the dwarf gods give any hints?

Amber said lightly: "Perhaps, you are not the only one favored by the gods. Seth, the gods will not bet on a mortal, let a group of gods work towards a common goal, use various methods, and finally only one person will complete their orders.

"As for who wins in the end, it doesn't really matter."

Seth Yuri was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "I see, thank you for clearing my doubts. It turns out that even if I fail, it will not affect the gods' plan, then I am relieved. "

Amberhau shrugged. He was not surprised by this answer. He had seen many fanatics.

Amberhau turned to look at Gustavo Flynn and said to the frowning old man: "Old friend, do you understand? Your acting skills in your whole life are not as good as the true feelings of the fanatics."

Gustavo Flynn's face flashed a trace of panic, but he immediately denied it and said: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Amberhau sighed and said to Seth Uri: "Seth, let the two old men have a private chat. "

Seth Yuri smiled slightly and generously gave up the secret room. Although he was a little shocked, he also gained a lot today. Although the Ultraman master prevented him from killing the Dwarf King with the wish, he did not oppose his assassination plan. At most, he could change another way.

I believe that this master can be discussed. With his help, there may be a simpler way to solve the problem of the vampire Dwarf King.

Seth Yuri is very patient, and we will talk slowly later.

Gustavo Flynn and Amber were the only ones left in the room. Gustavo Flynn was stared at by Amber and felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help asking: "What do you want? I have given you everything!"

"Come on, we have known each other for a long time. I still know who you are. You have never been a broad-minded person. You are selfish, jealous, and vicious. You are like me... We are all people who can't control our desires.

"I died twice, twice! Even death couldn't change my nature. How can people like you and me suddenly wake up?

"On the surface, you gave up the interests of the Dwarf Kingdom and the power of the Alchemy Association, but you didn't do it because you figured it out. You just knew that you lost. Your smart brain chose a safer and more decent way to lose, not because you really figured it out. "

Gustavo Flynn's eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice: "You know everything, you are always the smartest, but so what, I have already admitted defeat this time, what else do you want? ! I really didn't dig a pit to deceive you, I just want to pay these things in exchange for a moment of peace, what else do you want? "

Amber Xiu shook his head and said: "A moment of peace, and then what? After a few years, when everyone has forgotten about it, you will find a way to win it back? This kind of forbearance, calculation, and then rebellion again, to be honest, is very boring. "

The specific method of betrayal may not have been thought out yet, but Amber Xiu knows this operation too well. It is the kind of revenge that a gentleman takes ten years too late. If he admits defeat today, he will hold his breath and win it back in a few years. If he finds any opportunity, he will test it all the way. In the end, he will betray boldly.

"You are the winner. Of course you can say that." Gustavo Flynn no longer hides his inner hatred.

Gustavo Flynn just wants to bury his hatred, either wait for time to heal this hatred, or let him find an opportunity to win it back fiercely. He may not have thought it through himself, but he is indeed just deceiving the God of Alchemy.

There is no such thing as sudden awakening, no such thing as letting go. Who can really walk forward without looking back after falling down while holding a precious vase on the road?

The reason why saints are rare is that most people cannot be so open-minded.

Amber Xiu laughed and said confidently: "Yes, I am the winner, but you have seen me lose before. If I keep winning, will I become a lich? You were a high-ranking noble in the Alchemy City, and I was just a poor legend who was transformed into a lich."

Gustavo Flynn couldn't help roaring: "Then what's the difference between you and me?!"

Gustavo Flynn wanted to punch the mirror in front of him and tear off the clown mask that made him angry.

However, Amberxiu was even more excited than him. Amberxiu said angrily: "The difference between you and me is that no matter how greedy or selfish I am, I will never be sorry to anyone who treats me well. Flynn, my Teacher, He really has mercy on you, and He really wants to forgive you. He gives blessings to all geniuses and helps them enter a higher realm. He bears your sins and is even punished by Ogma.

"Even so, He is still willing to believe in you and give you a last chance. But you are acting in front of Him, thinking in your heart that one day you will stab Him in the heart!"

Dozens of huge mage hands appeared and pressed Gustavo Flynn to the ground. No matter how much magic equipment he had on him, it was meaningless under the suppression of Amberxiu's huge magic power.

Amberxiu continued to roar: "This is the difference between you and me. I can tell who is really good to me and who really hates me. I have killed many people, I have done many evil things, I can't even tell the gods." I don't look down on them, but I will never plot against any of my friends. I will try my best to repay anyone who treats me well. This is the principle I adhere to in my life.

"I used to think that this was just the most basic requirement for being a human being. Compared with those saints, I was just an ordinary person worth mentioning. But after living for hundreds of years, I discovered that scum like me is already pretty good. There are only a lot of ungrateful bitches like you in this world.”

The power of the mage's hand became stronger and stronger, and the magic protection on Gustavo Flynn was crushed bit by bit. He felt like an insect about to be crushed to death.

When did this damn lich become so terrifying?

After transforming into the spirit in the mirror, all the reserves left in the magic mirror are the source of his magic power. The total amount of magic power that Amber Xiu can mobilize has long reached the realm of gods, and it is not something that mere mortals can resist.

As the power of the mage's hand became stronger and stronger, the bones in Gustavo Flynn's body broke one by one, as if they were about to be completely crushed.

"Go to hell, I don't want to waste time on you anymore." Amber Xiu said in a deep voice.

With a click, the bones in Gustavo Flynn's body broke one by one, and he was about to die on the spot. Suddenly, a golden light fell on him.

The magic hand controlled by Amber Xiu began to collapse, and then turned into pure magic and disappeared.

The seriously injured Gustavo Flynn took a breath and tried to struggle to escape, but found that the golden light also trapped him in place, making him completely unable to move.

A sigh came from the void.

"Flynn, I will take away everything that is in alchemy. From now on, you can take care of yourself."

In the golden light, Gustavo Flynn's eyes became dull, as if he had lost his soul. His old body slowly shrank, and finally turned into a dark-skinned child. The child blinked and looked at everything around him curiously, as if he didn't know anything.

The next second, the child disappeared in mid-air, and the mage's hand that Amber Xiu had re-concentrated was all in vain.

Amberxiu said angrily: "Old guy! You saw it just now, are you still soft-hearted?!"

The helpless voice of the God of Alchemy came: "Otherwise, they are all the children I watched grow up!"

Every legendary alchemist is a child favored by the gods, but they don't know it. Even the most blasphemous guild president, Gary Watts, was not the God of Alchemy who was soft-hearted and bore the blame for him in the end.

The God of Alchemy comforted him and said: "Don't worry, I have deprived him of all his memory. He doesn't even know his own name now, and he will never learn alchemy again in the future. Let him live a mediocre life."

"Pooh!"

Amberxiu couldn't help but spit, but found that the body of the spirit in the mirror couldn't spit, which immediately made him even more irritated.

"Damn it, I don't want to talk to you right now!"

Amberxiu cursed and then controlled the magic mirror to float out of the room.

Seth Uri waited outside the door for a while. The room was extremely soundproofed and he didn't know what was going on inside. When he saw the door open and only Amber Xiu came out, he was suddenly surprised.

What about the legendary alchemist?

Amber Xiu was still angry and said to Seth Uri: "Come with me, nephew of Zane, I owe your uncle a glass of wine. I will kill the vampire dwarf king and I will pay it back to him. "

Seth Uri was confused. Why did the topic suddenly jump to this? What did he miss?

Amberxiu didn't want to explain too much. He was so angry at the God of Alchemy's soft-heartedness. He was not a lich and couldn't suppress his anger. It was bad luck for the dwarf king. Anyway, when the Alchemy Association embezzled its own property, the dwarf king was also behind it, and this guy had a right to die long ago.

"Wait, Uncle Taff!" In this excitement, Seth Uri even called the wrong name, but he didn't care about it and asked quickly: "Didn't you say that the wish spell can't be used? What about the dwarf palace guard? Sen Yan, since the blasphemer turned into a vampire, he has been hiding in the deepest part of the palace, and there is no way to sneak in and assassinate him. "

Amberxiu sneered and said: "Sneaking into the assassination? No need at all. Come with me, it's time to let those ungrateful guys see my anger."
