This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 38

Chapter 38 What a coincidence

I still remember when I was training, the teacher specifically reminded me that the common swordsmanship of the paladin is only most effective against humanoid enemies. When you encounter an opponent who is particularly huge, has many arms, or has a weird shape, don't think about relying on it. Swordsmanship suppression, direct use of divine magic!

Now he fully understood the meaning of the teacher's words. When you encounter an opponent who is not a human, many swordsmanship skills lose their meaning and will instead become fatal flaws.

After only two or three rounds of fighting, the paladin was hit by several swords. If the armor on his body had not been strong enough, he would have been torn into pieces. After the restrictions were completely released, the living mercury was like a child who found a new toy, attacking more excitedly, and gradually no longer adhered to sword skills, but transformed his body into various incredible forms, from directions that the paladin could not even imagine. Attack.

Seeing that the situation was reversed, the holy warrior's sword once again lit up with holy light, and not only the holy light, but also the thunderous light wrapped around it.

It is the Holy Slash again, and it is an advanced version, which comes with strong lightning damage.

Originally, I planned to save it to deal with Amber Xiu, but I didn't expect that I would be cornered by a weird monster again, and now I don't care so much anymore.

The thundering Holy Slash fell towards the living mercury. Even if the opponent raised several mercury swords to block it, this sword was still unstoppable. The power of this advanced version of the Holy Slash can already break through the magic resistance of living mercury and cause horrific damage.

It's a pity that the last sword only cut off one arm of the living Mercury.

“Missed?! How is this possible?!”

The paladin looked at his crooked sword in disbelief. How could this sword that had been tempered for thousands of times be chopped crooked?

The severely injured living body Mercury was completely enraged, and he directly wrapped the paladin in it without caring about recovering from his injuries. The paladin missed his strongest blow and was unable to dodge at all. His body was completely wrapped, and the living mercury immediately activated its ability to devour metal.

The paladin struggled hard, his body constantly lighting up with holy light, making the living mercury seem to boil, but in the end it was all in vain. His armor and weapons were swallowed up by the living mercury, leaving only a thin shirt.

Blonde, handsome, strong, elegant... The true face of this paladin is so dazzling that it would make countless girls fall in love with him elsewhere. However, this appearance is ineffective against living mercury. This angry little guy once again condensed his sword, To pierce the body of this paladin.

Without the protection of armor, a paladin is certain to die.

But at this moment, Amberxiu said loudly: "Don't kill him, the paladin is very valuable!"

Although Living Mercury was still quite angry, he would never disobey Amber Xiu's order. He could only angrily press the paladin's head to the ground, smashing the paladin's handsome face into disfigurement.

Amberxiu said with a smile: "You are still not convinced, little guy? I helped you escape that Holy Slash just now, otherwise you would have been killed long ago."

Amberxiu underestimated the strength of this paladin. The one who can use the advanced version of Holy Slash must be a high-level paladin, and he is so young. He is probably the leader among the younger generation of the Lion Empire, maybe Emperor Ryan. Personally canonize the decorated paladin.

What a pity, the equipment of the high-level paladin is very valuable, but now it is all useless.

No, the ransom must be doubled!

Amberxiu looked at the paladin who was struggling to get up, and reminded him: "Don't waste your energy, your companions have already fallen into my hands. If you don't want them to lose their lives, just be prisoners." "

After hearing Amber Xiu's words, the paladin said firmly: "We are all servants serving the Lord of the Dawn. We died in the holy war. Our souls will ascend to heaven. If you want to threaten me with this, Impossible, we have long been prepared to sacrifice ourselves!” ˆ ˆ ˆ “Haha, but you have a companion who is not a believer in the Lord of the Dawn. Are you prepared to let him die with you? Did you take the oath of dedication? Paladin, isn't it one of your creeds to protect the weak?"

Amberson's words surprised the paladin. He didn't expect that Amberxiu knew him so well.

Every paladin will swear an oath in front of the gods. The oath of dedication, the oath of the ancient sages and the oath of revenge are the three most common oaths. The oath of dedication requires the paladin to act justly, abide by integrity, and protect the weak, even when facing No despicable means should be used against the enemy.

Harvey is their fighting partner. If Amberxiu threatens Harvey's life, the paladin cannot put his companions into desperate situations because of his beliefs. This is a violation of his oath.

Once a paladin breaks his oath, the consequences will be very serious.

"What do you want? I will not cooperate with the undead. Even if you threaten me with the mage's life, I will never cooperate with you." The paladin said firmly.

"Who asked you to cooperate? I just asked you to save your energy and be a prisoner. When the Lane Empire pays a ransom, I will naturally release you." Amberxiu said.

He has already made a calculation in his mind. The priest of light has 800,000 gold coins and the paladin has 1 million gold coins. It doesn't matter if he loses even one gold coin.

It sounds like some lions are talking too much, but this may involve pricing issues.

Just imagine, if this paladin is so valuable, how much is the living mercury worth that is 50/50 or even slightly better than the paladin?

Living mercury may be Amberxiu's biggest business in the next few hundred years, and it must not be sold cheaply.

But after hearing Amber Xiu's plan, the paladin sneered and said: "Then you don't have to waste your efforts. The empire will not pay any ransom for prisoners. The Lion Empire will never be threatened by anyone, let alone the undead." The threat. If you ask for ransom from the Lion Empire, it will only lead to a crusade from the Paladin Legion."

Amberxiu said nonchalantly: "Wouldn't that be more in line with your wishes? So what reason do you have to stop me from dying? Now, tell me your name."

The paladin did not expect the Amber Order to be so determined. Could this lich really dare to challenge the Lion Empire head-on for a mere gold coin?

Although he couldn't understand it, he knew that he could only accept the fate of being captured unless he wanted Harvey, an innocent man, to die because of his stubbornness.

The paladin said calmly: "Alan Watson, this is my name."

“Watson?” Umberthew heard this surname and asked: “Who is James Watson, the editor-in-chief of “Legendary Curse”, to you?”

The young paladin said strangely: "Do you know my father?"

The fire of the soul in Amberxiu's eyes was blazing and about to burst out. He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "That's such a coincidence. I have known your father for many years."
