This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 230

Chapter 230 If you can't deceive, use your fists

Harvey was awakened by the wind and sand, and realized that he had been fooled.

“This is wrong, should I die? How could I meet a liar at this time?”

Harvey couldn't understand, but he was not prepared to let these two liars go. How could he stop himself from rushing to his fateful end at the critical moment?

At this time, Hasting and Hareth were already hiding in a hotel in Manna City.

Takes off the disguise, revealing a strange body composed of machinery and mercury.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect to meet a fat sheep. Now the travel expenses are enough." Hasting's voice came out from the magic power furnace in his chest, and there was a strange echo.

Hares, whose whole body turned into a pile of mercury, also made a sigh of relief: "I don't know how many days have been wasted. We haven't even seen a paladin. Now we can finally cross the line of death and find those paladin. But this money is not enough, we also need to buy some equipment in Manna City to avoid being hacked to death by the paladin."

After these two were modified by Amber to become abnormal undead, they were given a difficult task.

Test whether this body can be restrained by the paladin's Holy Slash.

But Amberxiu only gave them orders, but didn't give them a single gold coin.

The two brothers came to the ground. As a result, the war between the dwarves and Ryan was over, and the death line in the desert became the dividing line between the two countries.

The two brothers knew that Harvey was a prophecy mage, but they still dared to lie to him. In fact, the original plan was for Hasting to lie and Hareth to tell the truth.

This scale was handed over by Amber Xiu when he handed in the task to the tavern. When no one was paying attention, Hares turned into mercury thread and sneaked into the tavern's warehouse and stole the scale, so it must not be used to hand in the task. People can spot problems.

Hares' mercury body squirmed, and then said: "I only found out after following the master. That boy had several secret spell-casting movements when he was gambling. The postures were exactly the same as our master's, just like a student following Teacher. Only a prophecy mage can win so much money at the gambling table."

However, after investigation, it was discovered that the people who came out to negotiate the price were all outsiders and had no idea where the hidden tunnel was. Only after paying the money will the person behind the scenes appear.

The pit dug by Hares is just a share of the mission bounty. He must find various ways to reduce Harvey's share and get the big share himself. In this way, you can make a small profit, and do it a few more times to collect enough funds for wiring.

　　It was Hareth who told Hasting that he had discovered a prophecy mage, and then they struck up a conversation with him. If it weren't for his brother's reminder, Hasting wouldn't even know that there is such a profession as a prophecy mage in this world.

Thousands of gold coins were delivered to them in this way. As a result, they had enough funds, and the two of them were ready to take the route to the other side of the desert at any time.

They spent a lot of effort to find someone who could help them sneak across. People on this side of the desert call it "walking the line."

It shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a few gangsters helping people route the cables.

In fact, it is a secret, special underground passage that can cross the line of death.

However, the person who controls this passage is not so negotiable, and the asking price is 10,000 gold coins per person.

At first, Hasting wanted to be tough.

If the two brothers take action directly, they will only alert the enemy and make the real people behind the scenes hide.

With no choice, they could only start their old business, accepting commissions in taverns to collect bounties, and working part-time as liars.

It is impossible to cross the death line on foot, even the body of a golem will be ground to pieces by the endless wind and sand.

After all, the two of them are no longer the same weaklings they used to be. Hasting's golem puppet is the latest model from Alchemy City, and with Hareth turning into mercury, it can be said that he has the power of a high-level adventurer.

“Who is that kid? Is he really a prophecy mage?” Hasting asked Hareth.

If Harvey really chooses Hareth, he will really use the scales to hand in the mission.

The two brothers didn't even have a single gold coin. They relied on the undead to survive for so many days without eating or drinking. Where did they get the money to run the line?

Originally, it was still a lot worse, but I didn't expect to meet Harvey, a fat sheep.

It's just that Harvey was easier to deceive than he thought. He didn't need to do anything, he just took the money and left.

Now that everything is almost ready, it's time to go to the paladin's territory and let others chop it with Holy Slash.

Hareth's mercury body squirmed and crawled onto Hasting's body. Then he put on his coat and mask, and the two of them became one person. Ten thousand gold coins were enough.

But neither brother expected that they would see Harvey standing at the door with a sneer as soon as they walked out of the hotel, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Hasting walked past Harvey very naturally, as if he didn't see him.

When Harvey saw this, he quickly said: "Hey, you, a liar, have this attitude when you see the victim coming to your door?" Hasting said in a doubtful tone: "My friend, are you talking to me? It seems we don't know each other, right?”

Harvey's eyes widened, never expecting that this man would be so shameless, and said angrily: "You cheated me of thousands of gold coins in the tavern, and now you say you don't recognize me? Do you think I'll just change your cloak and mask?" Don't you recognize me?”

Hasting didn't panic at all and said calmly: "Listen to what you said. The man you know wears a mask that is different from the one I wear. How can you say that we are the same person? Have you ever seen him? What does that person look like? Do you want me to lift the mask and check it out for you?"

"you!"

Harvey was surprised to find that he couldn't tell this liar. If his divination hadn't locked the person in front of him, he really couldn't be sure that it was the same person, but now he had no evidence.

“Okay, I'm very busy. Next time I encounter the liar you mentioned, I will remind him to return the money to you. Goodbye.”

Hasting finished this sentence politely, and then left Harvey again.

Harvey has realized that he can't win against a professional liar like this with his words, so he chooses to use his own method, and a die of fate falls on Hastings.

A few seconds later, there was a sound of cloth tearing, and gold coins began to fall to the ground from inside Hasting's cloak.

Hasting quickly reached out to fish it out. He had not paid attention when he was walking, and the mechanical seams on his body caught the money bag, and it was torn after walking for a few steps.

The two brothers don't have huge magic pockets, so they can only carry tens of thousands of gold coins on their bodies.

As soon as the bag was dropped, the golden coins rolled all over the floor.

This naturally attracted the attention of passers-by. A group of people came over with ill intentions and said enthusiastically: "Oh, why are you so careless? Let me pick it up for you."

The next moment, more than a dozen hands appeared on these gold coins. By the time these palms disappeared, half of the gold coins on the ground had been reduced.

Hasting angrily wanted to push the thieves to the ground, but they had already disappeared.

The folk customs of Ganlu City are so simple.

After putting away the remaining gold coins, Hasting discovered that there were only a little over six thousand gold coins left from the original ten thousand gold coins, and the money for wiring was not enough.

Hasting angrily grabbed Harvey's collar and lifted the young man into the air: "You are looking for death, aren't you?"

Harvey imitated Hasting's tone and said: "My friend, what are you talking about? I just stood aside and did nothing."

He originally thought that Hasting would be speechless by his words, and that he could treat him the same way as he did. However, what Harvey didn't expect was: "Try this trick with me, you Do you think I need evidence?"

After saying that, Hasting punched Harvey in the eye socket, making his eyes swollen.

Hasting still had a lot of strength left, otherwise he could have blown Harvey's head off with one punch.

Harvey was blinded by this punch. This liar's moral bottom line is too flexible, right? !

Harvey angrily threw the Dice of Destiny at Hasting, and then Hasting's body made a rattling sound, and several bolts fell from his cloak.

The power of the Dice of Destiny, wherever it can fail, it will.

Hasting's right hand was stuck, and seemed to be malfunctioning.

But when Harvey saw these bolts, he realized that he was not facing a living person, but a golem puppet.

“Wait a minute, you...were you sent by my teacher?” Harvey asked.

Harvey has seen the alien skeletons made by Amber Xiu and various puppet materials in his laboratory. He knows that this teacher likes to play with such strange things, but these are not enough to draw a conclusion. .

Harvey just intuitively believed that the demon puppet in front of him should be related to his teacher.

Hasting put Harvey down and asked: "Teacher? Who is your teacher?"

Harvey quickly said: "King of Elden!"

　　Bang, Harvey responded with another fist from Hastings.

Hasting grabbed Harvey, whose eyes were already black, and said, "I don't know the King of Elden! You kid, don't even think about leaving until you pay for today!"
