This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Everything goes well

Catherine looked at the wooden wine glass in Amber's hand and said doubtfully: "The bet is still the same?"

Ambershoe said casually: "Of course, as long as you can take the cup out of the city, I will do whatever you say."

Catherine looked at Amber Xiu several times, grabbed the wine glass, and quickly left the bar.

But not long after, Catherine returned to the bar dejectedly and said angrily: "You plotted against me. I was stopped again when I left the city. They said there must be something wrong with me leaving so quickly. As a result, the bar was smashed by them during the inspection. Broken!"

Amberxiu smiled and said: "It's not me plotting against you, but destiny. After experiencing these two times, you should understand that things that seem simple can be impossible at all. You may still be thinking now, As long as you persist and rush out of the city, you will win, but it is useless, no one can change the fate that has been set, not even the gods."

Amberxiu used his destiny-weaving ability to weave two failed fates for Catherine. So no matter how hard Catherine tried, she couldn't win.

However, only this kind of small bet can weave the fate at will. It is impossible for Amber Xiu to make up a fate for the Lion Empire that will perish tomorrow. Doing so will 100% fail to cast the spell, and then suffer the backlash of fate.

This ability can be understood as extending an oar into the river of destiny and using the oar to control part of the direction of the river water. It's okay to create a few small eddies, but trying to block the flow of the entire river with an oar will only cause the oar to break. Unless Amber Xiu himself is the dam blocking the river, trying to change the fate of those behemoths will definitely end in being shattered into pieces.

Although Catherine still did not fully understand these, she believed Amber Xiu's words and did not dwell on the topic related to Naomi. Instead, she said with emotion: "If it is like what you said, then the prophecy mage will be too miserable. It's like being a slave to fate.”

But before that, we need to make some preparations.

“Catherine, let's go pick up a commission later.” Ambrose said.

But Ambrose did not come for reward, he came to prepare Harvey for his "death".

The Underground Sand Lizard is a monster in the Underdark. Adult sand lizards can reach the legendary level, but their numbers are rare. This kind of monster rarely appears on the surface, so this commission only requires investigation, and the reward of thirty gold coins is already very good.

It is said that there may be underground sand lizards haunting this cave. Adventurers need to go to investigate and find definite evidence of the existence or non-existence of underground sand lizards. The reward is thirty gold coins.

Catherine asked: "Accepting a commission? What commission?"

“Don't ask so many questions, you will know when the time comes.” Amberxiu said.

“Ah, aren't we waiting for your students here?” Catherine asked strangely.

The pub gives beauties free of charge in order to let the beauties help attract men who have excess male hormones and are in urgent need of release.

Catherine covered her head and suddenly did not dare to speak anymore. It was too scary to be bald and so on.

Amber Xiu didn't even need to go to the cave to check. He could confirm by throwing a die of destiny that there were no underground sand lizards there at all. It was probably the presence of other monsters that had left similar traces.

“It doesn't matter, as long as it's exploration-based, underground ruins, monster caves, or anything else. Wait until you take off your mask and ask the bartender to recommend one to you.”

Amberxiu nodded. Harvey brought Amberxiu's phylactery to this city and appeared in this tavern. Calculating the time, Harvey will appear in two days at most.

Someone in Manna City has issued a commission to investigate a magic cave outside the city. Because the situation is tense now, no one knows when Ryan will reach Manna City, so the price of these commissions for exploration outside the city has doubled.

Amberson:…

“Say any more and I will weave a bald future for you!” Ambrose said angrily.

This little girl still doesn't know what “free bill” means?

After a while, Catherine asked again: "What should we do now? We just wait here for Harvey?"

Catherine could only be obedient and walked to the bar to chat with the orc bartender. Catherine, who took off her mask, not only received the best commission recommended by the bartender, but also received the promise of free admission to the pub for life. Catherine showed off to Amber Xiu with free sea buckthorn fruit wine, but only received a blank look from Amber Xiu.

Catherine's beauty did not live up to the trust, and it was clear at first glance that this commission was a pure profit.

But seeing how happy Catherine was, Amberxiu didn't bother to expose it and started studying the commission.

In the prophecy that Harvey saw, he would go to a dark place to explore with a team of adventurers, and then encounter an ambush by a monster. Harvey himself died in the raid.

But because Harvey himself couldn't see many details clearly, his description to Ambrose was quite vague.

What Ambrose has to do is to fabricate this false prophecy for Harvey and control everything in the prophecy in his own hands. You can have adventures, you can have teams, you can have warcraft, you can have them, but you can't have death.

The easiest way is undoubtedly to find a commission yourself, and then arrange a script for Harvey to get him out of the shadow of death.

This commission to find the underground sand lizard is very suitable and is the best stage.

No wonder he brought Catherine with him. Thank God, everything was an arrangement of fate.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Amberxiu took Catherine out of Manna City and came to the Warcraft Cave. Amberxiu checked it for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.

This is not an underground sand lizard, just a nest of sandworms.

Sandworms and sand lizards sound similar, but they are actually completely different things.

The underground sand lizard that can hunt on its own is at least fifteen meters long. Its mouth can be opened to swallow the strongest orc in one bite. Its teeth are highly venomous and its scales are so hard that it would take several Holy Slashes for a paladin to break through. This thing is also good at sneaking into the ground to launch attacks. Generally, adventurers are swallowed up without even being able to see the opponent clearly.

Sandworms are very weak desert creatures that are almost harmless to humans, but they are also good at burrowing in the ground. Therefore, the traces left by a large nest of sandworms crawling underground are very similar to those of sand lizards.

Amboxiu could just catch a few sandworms and go back to deliver the mission, but naturally he wouldn't do that.

I saw Amber Xiu opening his private space and taking out a large pile of white bones.

Catherine frowned because these bones were full of putrid smell.

“This is...the bone of the Underlos beast?” Catherine asked.

"Yes, my friend gave it to me. I used these bones to assemble several skeleton tanks before and taught those paladins a profound lesson. But now, I want to combine them into something else."

Amberxiu moved very quickly, pieced together the bones according to his wishes, and soon turned into a lizard-like skeleton.

The Diros beast was originally a herbivore, so Amberxiu took some human canine teeth and inserted them into it to create a large mouth full of sharp teeth.

Following that, Amberxiu pinched another fictitious soul and stuffed it into the bones.

The skeleton of this "sand lizard" started to move like this. Although it looked awkward, it was quite powerful.

Amberxiu then used Laila's real illusion on the "sand lizard", covering him with a layer of fake sand lizard skin, which looked no different from the real sand lizard.

Catherine was also amazed. If she hadn't seen how Amberxiu made the fake with her own eyes, she would have thought it was a real underground sand lizard.

But this thing looks ferocious, but in fact it is just a larger low-level undead. It will probably fall apart after a few hits with a hammer.

Amber Xiu looked up and down, refined the various details, and then said with satisfaction: "If it's just a lie, it should be almost the same. Get into the ground and have a sleep first, little guy, now is not the time for you to appear."

With Amber Xiu's order, the undead sand lizard clumsily opened up the yellow sand on the ground and buried its body in it.

This speed cannot be compared with the real sand lizard, but as long as it is hidden in the sand, it is not easy to find.

With everything ready, Amberxiu took Catherine back to the bar, and then submitted the "evidence" of the underground sand lizard.

The evidence is also very simple, a broken underground sand lizard scale is just a collection of Amber Xiu.

This kind of monster scale is an unpopular alchemy material, and Amber has a small amount of it in stock.

The orc bartender couldn't tell the year of the scales, but after submitting it, Amberxiu was quickly rewarded with thirty gold coins. The original commission to investigate the cave was changed to a subjugation of the underground sand lizard, and the price was also raised to one Thousand gold coins.

It's a pity that no one is willing to pick up the adventurers in the tavern.

If it is an adult underground sand lizard, then it is a legendary rank. Who can do it with only one thousand gold coins?

But it is impossible for the client to pay according to the legend. What if it is not a legend?

Anyway, if the task is pending for a long time, there will always be someone willing to take it.

Everything went as Amberxiu imagined, so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.

After waiting in the city for two days, Harvey appeared in the tavern in Manna City just as Amberxiu had planned.

It's just that Harvey looked much more embarrassed than Amberxiu imagined. His head was wrapped in yellow and black gauze, and his right hand was also hung with a bandage. It seemed that he had been beaten severely.

And Harvey is not just him, there is also a dark-skinned...

Catherine saw the girl helping Harvey into the tavern, frowned and said: "This is a mixture of elves and orcs!"

The black-skinned girl in front of her has the long ears of an elf and the fangs of an orc. Her facial features are softer than that of an orc, but rougher than that of an elf. She is obviously a mixture of the two races.

However, elves generally do not combine with foreign races. Occasionally they do, and they mostly combine with humans, and most of them are handsome boys and beautiful women.

There is often only one possibility for a hybrid between orcs and elves. Some poor elf was kidnapped by the orcs, and then... only then could there be a hybrid of the two races.

In other words, the appearance of this girl represents the tragic fate of an elf.

Catherine clenched her fists. As the Elf Queen, she felt extremely heartbroken just by imagining it.

Amberxiu comforted him and said, "Don't be sad, maybe it's the drow that's mixed up."

Catherine glared at Amberxiu. Although she felt that what Amberxiu said was very immoral, the thought really made her relax a lot. She really didn't know whether to call him vicious or gentle.

Amberxiu didn't have so many other thoughts. Harvey had already appeared, and he was just waiting for the moment he realized what he wanted to do to complete his redemption.
