This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Evil Detection

“Oh, why can't I control these hands?”

Rubbing the gold coins in his hands, Amber Xiu sighed from the bottom of his soul.

The team, which was preparing to venture into the sewers, generously gave an "interview fee" of one gold coin. Even if there was no cooperation in the end, Amberxiu could still earn a gold coin in vain.

Although the profession of mage is very expensive, it is very reasonable for adventurers to invite mages to join the team and give them an "interview fee". But the interview fee of one gold coin was too extravagant. It was as arrogant as rewarding the dwarf singer and telling him to shut up.

Amber Xiu, who was still a little hesitant at first, could not refuse after receiving the gold coin.

Just after receiving the money, Amberxiu's inner worries became more intense.

The profession of adventurer is often similar to that of a jobless refugee, and few of them are purely good people. Being willing to spend so much money, in addition to your own strength, often means that the task is extremely difficult, or you have a conspiracy to deceive your teammates.

After all, mages are in most cases wealthy people. If you get a few pieces of enchanted equipment from a mage, you may earn thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins.

But if that were the case, Amberxiu would be even happier.

Who doesn't know how to eat black and white?

If he fights back in self-defense, Alchemy City will have no excuse to cause trouble for him. Amber Xiu can wipe out this adventuring team and make a small profit.

Parallel import legends are also legends. With the advantage of hiding the identity of the lich, wouldn't it be simple to bully a group of adventurers?

The real trouble is the difficulty of the mission. If this adventure team wasn't trying to trick their teammates, they must have spent so much money on hiring a mage because they encountered extremely difficult trouble.

You can't take advantage of others, and you have to deal with big troubles. I feel that this deal is not so profitable.

Of course, if it really doesn't work out, you don't have to cooperate, and earning a gold coin in vain is acceptable.

Amberson was sitting in the corner of the tavern, quietly waiting for the adventure team to arrive. According to the orc bartender, they came from outside the Alchemy City and would probably have to wait until the early morning to arrive.

During this period of time, Amberxiu thought of several plans to win over others, as well as several bargaining techniques.

However, when the adventuring team appeared, Amberxiu immediately knew that his efforts were in vain.

This is a three-person team, a fully armed knight with his head wrapped in a full-face helmet, a war priest wearing chain mail with a hammer as big as his head hanging on his waist, and the remaining one is dressed as a mage. The young man looked particularly shabby in this team.

“Paladin and War Priest of the Lion Empire?” Umbershoe said in surprise.

This is impossible to admit, because the equipment on two of them has the unique rose and dragon emblem of the Lion Empire. These are not ordinary goods, but a mark that can only be possessed by members of the Royal Paladin Legion.

In terms of titles, both of them are at least viscounts with independent fiefdoms.

No wonder they were so generous. Compared with those adventurers, these two were considered wealthy and powerful men.

But how could the paladins and priests of the Lane Empire appear in the Alchemy City? The relationship between these two families is not very good. The Alchemy City equally discriminates against all Muggles who do not understand alchemy and magic, while the Lion Empire equally discriminates against all non-human races. Just like the bad guys themselves hate bad guys, the two countries with different standards of discrimination have always despised each other. .

The Lion Empire feels that there are all kinds of races in the Alchemy City, and it is simply a country of heretics. Alchemy City feels that the Lion Empire shouts about Holy Light, Evil, and Glory every day and rushes to kill people, which is no better than barbarians.

Although there is no explicit opposition, the friction has always been considerable.

The appearance of these two people seemed so strange that everyone in the tavern stared at them as soon as they entered. Everyone knows the style of the Lion Empire. There are also a few lizards and drows drinking here. Who knows if they will directly shout "Holy Light, the evil ahead is worth fighting."

In this tense atmosphere, the shabby mage next to the two people came out to smooth things over.

“Hahaha, it's my second time here, this pub is still so lively. You guys sit down first, and I'll order two glasses of fine ale.”

Amberxiu also didn't know that the young mage in front of him had some connection with him. He was the mage apprentice Harvey who followed the Porcupine Knight around outside his territory.

Hearing Harvey say these two words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's not your first time here, so you shouldn't take action, right? Last time, I didn't hear of a bad diplomatic incident in this tavern that resulted in many deaths and injuries, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Although this is true, there are still many guests who leave after leaving their drink money. Sitting in the same room with a paladin and a man with evil intentions is simply torture. The paladin and the priest seemed to be used to this situation of being alienated, and they naturally sat in another corner of the tavern.

They are all wearing full body armor, and they even sit against the wall while drinking. They are worthy of being well-trained paladins, and they know very well who their enemies are.

Havi was busy and soon he was sweating profusely.

　　In order to win over these two big figures in the Lion Empire, Porcupine Knight also spent a lot of effort. Although I still can't figure out the purpose of these two people coming to the Alchemy City, they finally succeeded in recommending Harvey to them as a guide.

The two of them suddenly said they wanted to explore the sewers of the Alchemy City, and Harvey could only act as an errand boy for them. Just applying to enter the Alchemy City almost exhausted him to death, and then there was also the adventure permission and the search for his teammates.

The Paladins of the Lion Empire want to find people to form a team, and it may be easier to find teammates elsewhere.

Although they have a rigid style and racial discrimination, there is no doubt that the Paladins are powerful, and they will not violate their oaths to harm their teammates. They can be said to be very reassuring teammates.

But this is the city of alchemy, and the proportion of human adventurers here is very small. What they are looking for are mages who are good at a certain kind of special magic, and the number is even smaller.

The few mages I found before ended up not being able to reach an agreement, and some of them broke up on bad terms.

The interview fee gradually increased to one gold coin. Today they received a magic message and found new teammates, so they hurried over.

The orc bartender introduced Amberxiu to Harvey enthusiastically.

“Hello, I am William Harvey, mage's apprentice.”

Harvey took the opportunity to say hello to look at the black-haired boy who looked a little younger than him.

Harvey was surprised to find that Amberxiu's hair color, eye color, and facial features did not match those of humans in any area he knew. Instead, he had a sense of elf elegance and beauty, but he couldn't tell what kind of elf was mixed in. bloodline.

But it's useless to be good-looking. Mages use their intelligence to cast spells, and they are not like warlocks and sorcerers, who rely on charm.

"Hello, I am Ultraman Tiga." Amberxiu directly took out his chat group name.

"Hello, Master Ultraman, I believe you should know our requirements. We need a mage who is good at ice magic..."

As soon as Harvey finished speaking, Amberxiu raised his palm, and a ball of ice and snow energy condensed in his palm.

Looking at the magic configuration, Harvey recognized it as freezing ray, a low-level ice trick. It is not difficult to perform magic tricks. Even a mage apprentice can master it as long as he practices diligently. Just as he was about to question, he saw the ice energy in Amber Xiu's palm split into two groups.

Double cast? The warlock's method... No, this is pure magic control.

As soon as an expert takes action, the superiority and inferiority will naturally be clear. Harvey had nothing but admiration for Amber Xiu. The words Ultraman Master just said were just polite words, but now they are well-deserved.

Harvey looked at the paladin and nodded to express his recognition of Amberxiu's ability. Harvey is only responsible for confirming Amber Xiu's ability. Whether he can cooperate or not depends on the opinions of the two people in the Ryan Empire.

“Two adults, this is already the fifth one, and it may be our last chance, so...”

Harvey gave a very subtle reminder, meaning don't get into a quarrel like before and almost fall out, then it's really impossible to have teammates.

The paladin was indifferent to Harvey's words, and said to Amber Hugh in an almost emotionless voice: "Sir Ultraman, my faith does not allow me to cooperate with evil people. I want to use evil detection on you. Please tell me." do you agree?"

Amberson:…

There is one more chapter in the evening, and the contract is completed. The update time should be stable before ten o'clock every night. Before it is put on the shelves, it will be updated twice a day. After it is put on the shelves, it will be updated depending on the situation. Thank you for your support. I have the nerve to ask for a vote. I am very grateful.
