This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 270

Chapter 270 The Supreme Judgment of Distinguishing Public and Private Distinctions

Politics is all about testing. Before the final meeting, many things have been agreed upon in advance. Formal talks are often the time for signatures or hammering.

This has the advantage that on the surface there is a harmonious atmosphere, which is not ugly and difficult to break up.

But there is a problem with this, that is, both parties must have a certain consensus. If it is a completely unresolved situation, then discussing in advance is almost the same as breaking up in advance.

This is the situation now. Aldarian originally helped Amberxiu negotiate with James Watson.

But because of his grudge, the young Elf King "accidentally" revealed the fact that Amberxiu came to Silvermoon Highgarden.

James Watson immediately stated that he would not make a deal with the Lich, and let him continue to preserve Arthur Lane's heroic spirit, and then wait for the paladin to come.

No matter how big the desert is, Ryan will rummage through it inch by inch until he finds Amber Xiu.

When Aldarion came back to convey the meaning of the supreme judge, Amberxiu stared at the young elf king and asked: "Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

"Of course it was accidental." Aldarian smiled like an innocent child.

　　Ardalian immediately put away his smile and said to Amberxiu: "Blagging about things that don't exist does not prove your ability."

"hehe."

“Artifact?!”

"Tch, it's not that I'm not interested in betting on artifacts. It's because I misunderstood. I thought that the elves are favored by the gods and have many more artifacts. I didn't expect that you, an old elf king and a young elf king, can't even get a artifact. Come out. Alas, I have three artifacts as a Lich. The elves really let me down."

Amberxiu took back the dagger and turned to leave, but Aldarian quickly stopped him.

“Okay, what's the bet?” Aldarian asked quickly.

Aldarian's expression changed. He really didn't have a divine weapon.

Amberxiu took out a pitch-black dagger, put it into Aldarian's hand, and said, "This is the artifact Shar gave me. This is my bet."

Seeing Aldarian's expression, Amberxiu said in surprise: "It's really not true. Even if I didn't say anything, for Catherine's sake, I won't embarrass you."

“Change your bet, don't you like money very much? I'll bet you 300,000 gold coins!”

This is the biggest advantage of Ambrose over Aldarion. When a person wants revenge, his reason will be overwhelmed by hatred. Aldarian knew that Amber Xiu was digging a hole, but he still wanted to take a gamble and win it back.

　　Ardalian gritted his teeth and said: "I know you are deliberately irritating me! You want to force me to bet with you."

Aldarion took over the throne under special circumstances and did not receive the exclusive artifact given by the gods.

"Then why don't you take a bet? If I can get James Watson to sit down with me and negotiate the price, I'll win. Of course, it doesn't matter how much we negotiated in the end. Anyway, Ryan is the one paying me, so you lose. "

Silver Moon Highgarden's treasury contains several inherited artifacts, but these cannot be used for bets.

Four hundred years of hatred broke out after seeing Amber Xiu today. Aldarion really wanted to win.

The elves and gods put all their love on Catherine. Whether they were blessings or artifacts, they all belonged to her.

Amberxiu was not troubled by such a small problem, and just calmly said to Aldarian: "I have been a lich for many years. Do you think this is the first time I have dealt with this supreme judge? Ryan does not deal with lichs. It's not the first time I've heard of demons making deals.”

Amberxiu also said frankly: "Yes, I just deliberately provoke you, but can you feel better after you think about it? This is your last chance to win back in the past four hundred years. After today, I may You will never come to Silver Moon High Court again. If you lose, it will only be two losses to me. If you win, you will have your revenge."

　　Ardalion looked carefully at the dagger in his hand, and he could indeed feel the aura of evil and darkness. This turned out to be the real thing. Did you think that the lich would come up with a fake to deceive you?

“Why, the majestic Elf King doesn't even have a divine weapon?” Amber Xiu asked.

How could this lich make fun of Sister Catherine's reputation? This must not be allowed! Aldarion not only wants to bet with Amberxiu, but also wants to win a lot of money from him.

After clenching and releasing his fists several times, Aldarion finally calmed down and said to Amberxiu with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If you don't come to Silvermoon Highgarden, I will bring the Twilight Guards to find trouble for you. I won't I must fall into the trap you designed. Your lifespan is unlimited, and I will not live more than these few years.

"Wait, Lich, there is an Elf King who is always thinking about revenge on you. It should be a good feeling."

After saying this threat, Aldarian decisively turned around and left, without giving Amber Xiu any chance to refute.

Amberxiu didn't expect that this kid was quite tolerant. He was worthy of being the new Elf King. The old man, the young man, and the grandson were all hard to fool.

“Damn it, why haven't there been any fools for me to make a good fortune lately?”

With full of resentment, Amberxiu went directly to find James Watson. This visit to Silvermoon Highgarden could not be in vain, he had to get some benefits.

　　Through the gorgeous corridor, Amberxiu came to another living room. When he walked into the room, he happened to see James Watson standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, seemingly admiring the unique artistic window decorations of the elves.

And when Umbersio came closer to him, the supreme judge of Llane said: "Don't come any closer, lich, I'm afraid I can't help but purify you."

Amberxiu chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Although speaking with your back to others seems very dignified, it is very rude."

James Watson turned around and looked at Umberto Hugh, with undisguised anger on his face.

"Lich, this is the kingdom of elves. I don't want to fight with you here, but if you think you can provoke me unlimitedly, then I will let you know the taste of the Holy Light." The most fearful thing about business is to come with emotions. , James Watson's disgust for Amber Hew is completely undisguised, and if he cannot chat calmly, it will be difficult to reach an intention to cooperate.

Ambrose stood some distance away from James Watson and said to him: "Old friend, I have known you for a long time, but this is the first time we have met formally like this. I heard that you signed my amnesty order. Why? Are you still looking like you are at odds with me?"

James Watson explained coldly: "The amnesty is because you eliminated the war and saved many human beings, so according to legal principles, this amnesty should be granted. I am Lane's supreme ruling, so naturally I should issue it. But this It is the law of the empire and does not represent my personal feelings. Judging from your behavior, you have done great things, but I understand your character. In your eyes, you only have benefits. I'm completely two-way.”

"There is a clear distinction between public and private matters, but why was my paper rejected in the first place? Ask your conscience, is the quality of my paper not good enough for publication? If you are so clear-cut between public and private matters, why did you reject my manuscript?"

This matter can be regarded as something that Amber Xiu has been worrying about for a long time.

James Watson said indifferently: "Humph, I am the supreme judge of Ryan. Only those related to Ryan need to be fair. The editing work of "Legendary Curse" is just a hobby. Personal interests are of course based on personal preferences. "

Amberxiu said loudly: "Isn't it too shameless? Doesn't such double standards count as blasphemy against the Holy Light?"

James Watson did not answer, he just looked at Ambrose and sneered, looking arrogant as if he had the final say.

Amberxiu secretly swore that if he didn't trick the old man into vomiting blood, his hundreds of years would have been wasted.

“Okay, now that you understand the situation, is Arthur Lane's heroic spirit considered a business matter or a private matter?”

James Watson would not fall into this language trap. He retorted directly: "We haven't confirmed whether it is true or false. There is no point in discussing public and private issues."

"Okay, just treat it as a lie. We have nothing to talk about, so I'm leaving."

Amberson turned around and left immediately, leaving James Watson with a puzzled look on his face.

James Watson knew that Ambrose was here to ask for a price, so how could he leave so easily?

“What on earth are you doing?” James Watson said loudly.

Amberxiu stopped, but did not turn around. He turned his back to James Watson and said: "There is no trick. I have already said that the heroic spirit is fake and has nothing to do with you Ryan. So, how to deal with this heroic spirit is mine. It has nothing to do with you Lane people. Think about it, many evil gods will be interested in this heroic spirit. Even if it is not Arthur Lane, the heroic spirit itself is very valuable, isn't it? "

James Watson watched Amber Xiu leave quickly, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, I said it's unknown whether this heroic spirit is true or false. If it is true, you will be doing your best to Ryan." Provoke, are you ready to make an enemy of the entire Ryan?"

"As you said, wouldn't Ryan be my enemy now? I'm a lich."

"After the wanted order is withdrawn, you are no longer Ryan's enemy. As I said just now, I only have a personal grudge against you. But if you make another move to provoke Ryan, it is not impossible to refill your name on the wanted order. "

Amberxiu looked at James Watson's face and said with a smile: "It seems that you are willing to talk to me about this heroic spirit now?"

"Trading is impossible. I will never compromise with the undead, nor can I make any transactions with the undead. This is Lane's iron law, and I will never violate it." James Watson emphasized.

“Then what do you mean? Let me give it away for free?” Amberxiu asked.

James Watson immediately said with certainty: "That would be best. We Ryan will remember this favor."

“Can favors be exchanged for money?” Amberxiu asked.

"This..." James Watson hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If a friend encounters difficulties, then it is appropriate to provide some help."

Does this mean that it can be negotiated? Although it was said in a different way, he was actually still willing to give money. It seemed that the threat of sacrificing heroic souls to the evil **** was quite effective.

Although James Watson's tone softened, Amberxiu did not pursue the victory. Instead, he said with emotion: "Old friend, based on my understanding of you, you will not approve of this kind of self-deception. It seems that Ryan The problem is so serious that even your code of conduct has been affected.”

James Watson finally fell silent.

"In this case, why not talk to your Holy King first? I believe that after talking to him, you should be able to make a more accurate judgment."

Amberson's words really touched James Watson's heart.

Before this, he was someone who could even disregard the life of his own son. Allen was captured by Umberto, and James Watson directly refused to pay the ransom and sent paladins to hunt down Umberto.

In the end, it was the Alchemy City that came forward, which allowed the paladins to survive.

In fact, this time, it can also be transferred through the elves, that is, Ryan gives money to the elves, and the elves give money to Amber Xiu, which does not count as Ryan doing business with the undead.

But it's not James Watson's place to bring this up.

The matter of flexible bottom line should not be decided by the supreme judge himself.

It seems there is no difference, but when James Watson thought he could play like this, his position changed.

Others can do this, but he is a priest of light who is favored by the Holy Light. The consequences of deceiving oneself and others are generally very tragic.

Amberson is no longer interested in James Watson's offer. He is more interested in knowing the extent of the chaos inside Lane.
