This lich needs more money

The sea breeze in the Kingdom of Raging Tide will never be gentle.

The followers of Talos prefer the feeling of fighting the wind and waves, even though the kingdom no longer needs fishing for a living.

With the continuous establishment of alchemy factories, the Kingdom of Raging Tide has gradually changed from a small fishing country to a wealthy country dominated by manufacturing and trade.

The lich has kept his promise, and people in the Kingdom of Raging Tide will no longer starve to death.

But they can no longer do without alchemy, and their faith does not seem to be so pure.

However, Talos has no opinion on this. At least the king can still listen to the oracle, and Talos has not used any major disasters to show his anger.

There are rumors among foreign travelers that it is not that Talos has become kind, but that he has given the Kingdom of Raging Tide a certain degree of preferential treatment for the sake of a certain big man.

Moreover, although the faith is not so pious, the believers have doubled. The number of pious people cannot be said to be more or less, which is not a loss or gain for Talos.

Anyway, that's how it is. The newly appointed King of Nuchao is very satisfied with the current situation. The only thing he is not satisfied with is that he, the king, does not have the final say in the country.

The real people of Nuchao know that it is not the king who has changed the kingdom, but the princess who has been widowed for nearly 30 years.

But this kind of life is over today.

The princess finally ushered in the moment of ascension.

It is a great honor for a mortal body to be recognized by the gods and to ascend to the kingdom of God.

It's a pity that the princess refused the grand farewell ceremony and just wanted to wait quietly for that moment to come by the sea.

This is in line with her character. She has never been particular about any enjoyment for decades, and she is not even interested in the position of king.

In the end, the previous old king could only exert his spare strength and gave birth to a child again, who is the new king today.

At this moment, the princess is standing on a deserted island isolated overseas.

There are only a few bare reefs here, surrounded by surging waves, which is just right for her ascension.

The believers of Talos always like to be accompanied by wind and waves.

Ariel is now over fifty years old, but the power of the legendary strongman keeps her face young. The sea breeze can't age her face or turn her red hair white.

She looks the same as before, but only Ariel knows that she is indeed a little tired.

After seeing the Kingdom of Raging Tide really develop, Ariel feels that she has achieved the biggest goal of her life, and it is time to stop and take a break.

At this time, Talos also gave his oracle in time.

As long as she completes the last test, Ariel can ascend to the Kingdom of God, become a heroic spirit under Talos, and enjoy eternal life.

Talos' test is as simple as always, just fighting.

As long as she kills the upcoming opponent on this isolated island, Ariel can ascend to the eternal Kingdom of God.

Ariel doesn't think there is anything wrong. Even though she hasn't fought for many years, there are still blood stains on her hammer that can't be washed clean.

Wealth will attract robbers. The Kingdom of Raging Tide is rich, and there are naturally many people who covet these riches. Over the years, Ariel had smashed countless pirates' heads.

Although she was older now, she had more combat experience than when she was young.

But when she saw the figure riding the silver dragon descending from the sky, Ariel almost lost her grip on the hammer.

The former Monger Gray River appeared in front of her, which made Ariel stunned for a moment.

I thought she would just swing the hammer and hit herself with a lightning bolt, but Ariel just smiled bitterly and said: "You still want to lie to me today?!"

Hearing this, Amber sighed, restored his original appearance, and then sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I lied to you back then."

Looking at this unfamiliar face, Ariel could see many familiar details in it.

Ariel didn't seem to want to talk about what happened that year, but just asked in confusion: "I heard that you have become a big shot in hell now, how come you are here?"

Amber explained: "Talos hopes that you can really leave this mortal world without regrets, and I need Talos to owe me a favor. So, if you need revenge, I can let you destroy this clone."

Ariel looked up at the sky, and a thunderstorm was brewing above the sky, as if Talos' eyes were looking at her.

However, Ariel did not swing her hammer, but said calmly: "That may disappoint the gods, I have no regrets in my life."

"This is a bit surprising to me." Amber said.

Ariel said calmly: "At that time, the entire Kingdom of Raging Tide lost its way, and even I didn't know where the future was going. Although I wanted to change, I was isolated and helpless in the entire kingdom. No matter whether you were pretending to be Monger or the lich, and no matter whether what you said was sincere, at least you stood by me at that time and were willing to support my proposition.

"I have been sailing on the sea all my life. The fog and storm will make me stop temporarily, and you are the island where I once docked. Even if you are just a mirage, I still get the strength to move forward from it.

"Now that I have reached the end of the channel, why should I hate an island where I once docked?"

Amber was silent for a long time, and then said: "Princess, it seems that I didn't have a good vision and underestimated you."

Hearing Amber Xiu's praise, Ariel narrowed her eyes and said slightly proudly: "Don't think of the Storm Lord's followers as that kind of fragile little girl. I am the one who changed the fate of the kingdom."

"So, you're not going to blow my head off with a hammer? What about your ascension trial?"

Amberxiu also knew very well that the oracle Ariel received was to ask her to kill him before she could ascend to the divine kingdom of Talos.

Ariel shook her head and said, "A battle without murderous intent is just a hypocritical drama. Even if I swing a hammer at you, it will not satisfy my god."

"Well, it seems..." Amberxiu was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Amberxiu raised his head and said loudly to the storm in the sky: "Talos, you see, I said that Ariel would not take action against me. You lost this bet!"

Ariel's eyes widened and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief!

The next second, there was thunder in the sky, as if Talos was really angry.

"You damn liar!"

Ariel roared, and the hammer in her hand burst out with billions of thunder, falling on Amber Xiu's head.

All the rocks were shattered, the seawater turned into flames, and the violent thunder bombarded for several minutes until everything in sight was turned into powder.

Ariel then took back her hammer while panting.

The abominable liar had disappeared, as if he had been shattered to pieces.

Divine light descended from the sky, enveloping Ariel and guiding her to the stormy kingdom of God.

Ariel flew high into the sky in the divine light, finally looked at the place where Amberxiu disappeared, and gritted her teeth for the last time and cursed: "You damn liar!"

When the light disappeared completely, the sea returned to calm, leaving only half of the destroyed island.

The silver-white dragon flew across the sky, and Amberxiu's figure appeared on its back at some point.

"Master, you did it on purpose, right? Even if you really made a bet with the Storm Lord, you didn't need to say it outright on the spot."

Amberxiu said unexpectedly: "Naomi, you have become smarter. In these years, you have absorbed not only the power of the Time Dragon, but also wisdom!"

Naomi, who transformed into a dragon, said proudly: "What kind of wisdom can a dragon have? It's far behind my master. I learned from you."

Amber Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sure enough, the pet would become more and more like its owner.

"Master, where are we going next?" Naomi asked.

"Whatever, go where you want. Maybe, go to the Exiled Land to meet your old grandfather? If you want to beat him up, I can help you hold his head down and make sure he doesn't hit you back." Amber Xiu suggested.

Naomi said indifferently: "That's not important, Master. It's not just Princess Ariel who has such a big picture in this world. I have long since stopped thinking about the past."

Amberxiu showed a comforting smile and said to Naomi: "Then go wherever you want. When you have enough fun, you will be busy later. Tiamat said, over there with the Dragon Clan I want you to be the new demon dragon to ensure the interests of the dragon clan in the mortal world. We will decide whether to be the demon dragon or not, but we should get the benefits first."

The silver-white dragon flapped its wings and flew into the distance, finally disappearing at the end of the horizon.
