This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 189

Chapter 189 Listening to the founding emperor tell the story of the past

The sea breeze is slightly cool, and this is a rare calm weather.

Boxes of gold coins were lifted onto the plywood and then put into the boat. A total of 10 million gold coins, the "employment fee" for the first year.

　　It is said to be a hiring fee, but it is actually a yearly coin, but to make it sound nicer, the contract states that the Silent Night Pirates will not take the initiative to attack ships of the Rage Kingdom, but they must also provide assistance as much as possible. For example, if there is a storm and the Silent Night Pirates happen to be nearby, they will have to rescue people.

This "just" is actually a fig leaf.

The Kingdom of Rage knows that the Silent Night Pirates are unlikely to help, so if they don't help, just pretend they are not nearby. But after adding this sentence, 10 million gold coins are the hiring fee for the escort, not war compensation.

Small boats were filled with gold coins and floated towards the middle of the sea. There was a huge whirlpool there, which was the place where the transaction was agreed.

As all the boats carrying gold coins were swallowed by the whirlpool, Ariel came to Amberxiu and said, "Now, go directly to Emerald Dream Forest?"

Amberxiu tried his best to remain calm. Although the gold coins he had just thrown away could still be recovered from the Ai Singer, according to his plan, he should have taken the gold coins and ran away.

Who would have thought that King Wrath would ask Ariel to accompany Amberxiu on a mission to Green Dream Forest.

The reason was also too much for Amberxiu to refute.

Amberxiu scolded the **** dozens of times in his heart and had no choice but to agree to the plan.

On the contrary, Arthur Lane, who is an artifact spirit, rested for most of the day, which actually allowed him to regain a little strength and be able to evolve his body again.

Ai Ge did not hesitate to give this artifact to Amber Xiu, not because it was not precious, but because Ai Ge knew he would not use it when he got it.

Amberxiu has never seen the power of the dragon tyrant, and he doesn't know whether what Arthur Lane said is true or false, but he believes that he will not make a joke with the secret that he has guarded for seventeen hundred years.

Amberxiu quickly walked into the cabin and entered his own room.

“I said you didn't believe it before, why do you believe it now?” Amberxiu asked strangely.

"Mengge, it's not that I look down on you, but you are smart, but your strength is too weak. Ariel is by your side, so I can protect you."

Just because Ariel followed, Amberxiu had to think of another way.

Arthur Lane sat across from Amber Xiu very familiarly and explained: "Because this artifact has left the seal, it stands to reason that the tyrant will appear immediately and **** the artifact away, but it has been more than half a day and there has been no movement. So what you said may be true.”

It is not easy to deceive a legend, and it is even more difficult to frame Ryan.

"Your Majesty Lane, the Dragon Tyrant is indeed dead, and even his body has been made into a heritage artifact of the Lane Empire, so don't worry, your mission has been completed. Next, I need to borrow the artifact Use your strength to save someone. Please help me when the time comes.”

It's okay if you don't agree. Once you run away, the Kingdom of Rage is likely to find that it has been deceived, and maybe it will immediately break up with the Silent Night Pirates. What about the millions of gold coins every year? How could Amber Xiu be willing to give up directly?

Originally I wanted to write a script, saying that Monge Gray River met the assassin sent by Lane in the Emerald Dream Forest, and was killed. Even the body was gone, and he could retire with success. Anyway, the Kingdom of Rage and Ryan have a feud, so multiple lives have nothing to do with it.

Amberxiu said to Ariel: "Your Highness, you will be at the helm for the next journey to Emerald Dream Forest. I have been exhausted mentally and physically these past few days and need a good rest."

The Kingdom of Rage has officially sent an envoy to Emerald Dream Forest this time. Therefore, the ship can be considered very luxurious. Amber Xiu's room is very large and spacious, not cramped at all.

Damn Monge Gray River, as a man who believes in the Lord of Storms, you are such a waste.

　　Seeing Amber Xiu opening the barrier so grandly, Arthur Lane was not worried about his own safety. Instead, he asked curiously: "The tyrant is really dead?"

Ariel nodded and said, "Have a good rest. You are indeed tired. I will order the servants not to disturb you."

Compared with before, the illusory and uncertain human figure in front of me can probably be blown away in one breath.

Amberxiu carefully checked around the room to make sure there was no surveillance method. Then he cast several layers of barriers to isolate all sounds and breaths, and then he took out the hourglass artifact with confidence.

The same goes for Amber Xiu. This is an artifact of the Dragon Clan, and even only the Time Dragon can use it. No matter how Amber Xiu inputs magic power, the hourglass still has no reaction.

The reason why Amberxiu is so polite is because Arthur Lane's heroic spirit and the artifact have been perfectly combined. There is no way to destroy this heroic spirit without completely destroying the artifact. It would be very troublesome if Arthur Lane interfered when rescuing people.

But business can be discussed, and it's not like he has never done business with the Holy Warrior. Amberxiu believes that he can reach an agreement with the Emperor of Heroes.

Arthur Lane was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Amberxiu: "Is there any wine?"

But just after he finished speaking, Arthur Lane smiled bitterly and said: "Look at me, I'm starting to say stupid things. Dead people can't drink."

Amberxiu did not speak, but took out a small wine bottle from his private space, which contained a pitch-black wine.

Umbershoe handed the bottle to Arthur Lane and said to him: "Try this."

"What is this?" Arthur Lane opened the bottle cap curiously and wanted to smell it, but as a heroic spirit, he had long lost his sense of smell.

Amberxiu explained: "The wine that the undead can get drunk also contains trace amounts of abyssal toxins." He got this from Phil, the zombie fishman, and copied the other party's brewing recipe. I was going to go back and improve it, but I didn't expect that this last vial would come in handy here.

Arthur Lane was not afraid that Amberxiu would deceive him, so he took a sip directly to himself.

The dark magic contained in the wine gave him a spicy feeling, and the abyssal toxin made him feel dizzy instantly. His state was too weak, and he was already drunk after just one sip.

But Arthur Lane still happily praised: "Good wine! I haven't had such a good wine in a long time!"

"It must be that you haven't sung about the taste of wine for a long time, right? Your Majesty Ryan, you have drunk the wine, is it time to tell me a story?" Amberxiu said with interest.

Arthur Lane's eyes were blurred and he said lazily: "Story? What do you want to know? My life is actually quite boring. I was poor and hungry when I was a child. When I grew up, I met a paladin who accepted me as his disciple, and then... A very ordinary adventure, a very ordinary life. In fact, there is nothing worth mentioning in my life.”

“You are too humble, Your Majesty Lane. If your life is not worth mentioning, then no one in this world can call it a legend.”

Amberson said this sincerely. Regardless of his stance, Arthur Lane was a hero who liberated the continent.

He is still curious about what kind of person Arthur Lane was back then, and how he stole the opponent's natal artifact from under the eyes of the Time Dragon. The original historical records were unclear, and Amberxiu wanted to hear it. The words of those who have experienced it.

The small book has been prepared. The second author of the paper should be Arthur Lane. Let's see if the editor dares to reject the paper.

Arthur Lane nodded and said: "Okay, you can ask whatever you want. However, if you ask a question, you must also answer me a question. In return for this jug of wine, I can give you three questions for free. Until the Four, let's exchange again.”

Amberxiu picked up the pen and asked: "The first question is, what was the opportunity that made you want to kill the dragon? The tyrant at that time was so powerful, how could a paladin think of going against this tyrant?"

I thought I would hear an exciting answer, but unexpectedly Arthur Lane said calmly: "Then you are at a loss, you probably won't like this answer. The reason why I want to kill the tyrant is only because of the teacher's last wish .

"I was born as a very ordinary serf. I never even met my parents. I lived with great difficulty for a few years, and then I was adopted by my teacher. It was he who told me that there are tyrants in this world, and it was he who pointed it out to me. direction.

"A paladin must have an oath. I was young at the time and didn't know how difficult it was to make an oath to save the entire continent. But now that I have made an oath, I can only keep working hard. To be honest, if it weren't for You told me that the tyrant was really dead, and I thought I had failed."

This answer is indeed surprisingly bland.

But Amberxiu was not disappointed. How many people can spend their whole lives working hard for the vows they made when they were young and frivolous?

Legendary figures always have something special about them, and it is not necessarily just talent and luck. Willpower is also an important factor that separates them from their peers.

More importantly, this is different from what the Lion Empire brags to the outside world. According to Lane's historical records, the founding emperor was of noble birth and had compassion for others since he was a child. When he was young, he passed by a disaster-stricken village and was inspired by the Lord of the Dawn while fighting against monsters. He then swore an oath to kill the tyrant and liberate the entire continent.

With this alone, the Lane people can spend hundreds of millions as hush money, making a lot of money.

“Second question, how did you steal the magic dragon's artifact?” This is what Amber Xiu was most curious about.

Stealing his artifact from the Time Dragon sounds unbelievable. That's a time dragon. It can control time but is it still afraid of sneak attacks?

“This question is worth talking about. Do you know about the Dragon Worship Cult?” Arthur Lane asked.

Amberxiu replied: "I have heard that during the reign of the devil dragon, the Dragon Worship Cult was very prosperous. They claimed to be the servants of the dragon and took the dragon as their god."

Arthur Lane explained: "Yes, the Dragon Worshipers used to be people who served giant dragons, so the tyrant has always been at ease with them, but there is a friend of mine in the Dragon Worshipers. He told the time when the Dragon Sacrifice Ceremony would begin. During the duration of this ceremony, the tyrant needed to concentrate on digesting the power of faith collected from all over the continent, so I took advantage of the tyrant's distraction to steal his artifact."

“Is it that simple?” Amberxiu felt that it sounded a bit ridiculous.

"It's that simple. The power of faith is actually the key to the tyrant's failure. He has not condensed his godhead and tried to use the power of faith. Although it will become stronger in a short time, this power is uncontrollable and will cause various problems. In digesting faith When the power of the tyrant is reached, the tyrant completely loses his ability to respond to the outside world."

Amber Xiu expressed his understanding. If ordinary things want to use the power of faith, they can only use it as a plug-in. For example, Red Hat uses the power of faith to obtain a short-term magic immunity effect, and Amber Xiu uses the power of faith to condense into a golden throne. . But these have nothing to do with the main body. If you want to force the fusion, it will be very strong, but the side effects will be great.

“Last question, about your wife…”

Amberxiu wanted to ask about the hundreds of versions of Queen Lane's unofficial history, but Arthur Lane quickly interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not married yet, where can I get a wife!"

Amberson:…

This guy was not married when he stole the artifact? Those **** of Lane are making up history again. The fact that Arthur Lane kissed his wife affectionately goodbye before the battle with the dragon was indeed made up to trick the little girl into crying.

Arthur Lane's expression became excited and he said to Amberxiu: “I've asked the three questions, now it's my turn to ask.”

Umbershoe wanted to say that these three questions were for nothing. He should ask them again before it was Arthur Lane's turn to ask them back.

But it doesn't matter, just think of it as paying tribute to this legendary figure who liberated the continent and giving him a question for free.

“Ask, what do you want to know?” Amberxiu said.

Arthur Lane said with a little anticipation and a little nervously: "You said that after I killed the tyrant, I established an empire. Can you tell me what this country looks like?"
