This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Becoming less and less humane

Melina watched her mother close the Code of the Dead. Although she didn't know what the elders were talking about, Melina felt that her mother's mood was not quite right.

Although there was no visible change in her expression, Melina had been with her mother for a long time, and she could tell that something was wrong with Apoptotic Rose's mood.

Melina quickly walked to Apoptotic Rose and asked, "What happened?"

Apoptotic Rose shook her head and said: "Your father is coming over. The business in the Kingdom of Rage has reached its final stage, and then I am preparing to return to the Underdark. You should stay with your father, otherwise you will be deceived by slaves into mining when you go back." ”

Melina felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "It was an accident! They said at first that the iron pickaxes sent to them couldn't dig at all, so I proved to them that they could dig with just one pickaxe. Then they said again This iron pick will break after digging ten times, so I will prove to them that it will definitely not break after ten times! Later they said it may not be ten times, but it is almost the same, so I can only prove to them..."

Apoptotic Rose said helplessly: "Then you used an iron pickaxe to dig through a mine tunnel."

Melina said excitedly: "Finally I proved that the iron pickaxe is fine!"

Apoptotic Rose looked at her daughter and said helplessly: "If you act like this, it will only hinder your father in the future. When can I expect you to help?"

"Ah? Father is in trouble again? Did he offend another goddess?"

Melina is almost used to it now. Other people's fathers are at worst a gambler, a womanizer, or they have no independent opinions in doing things, they are cowards to others and violent at home, or they have fallen into trouble and sold their wives and daughters as slaves.

But her father was different. His father didn't have the bad habits of ordinary people. Not only was he successful in his career, he also took great care of his family. He was also kind to his friends. Everyone who helped him was rewarded tenfold and a hundredfold.

The only bad thing is that every time he causes trouble, he offends the gods.

This is a bit much for mere mortals.

There are not many mortals who have offended the gods in history, but there are really no such number of mortals who have offended the gods as much as Amber Xiu, and the range of camps is so wide.

Apoptotic Rose briefly explained the matter of Amberxiu being targeted by Talos. Melina suddenly said unexpectedly: "It's the Storm Lord this time? Father's ability to cause trouble is getting more and more exaggerated."

Even Melina can understand the terror of the Storm Lord, and this also makes Melina very worried. This time she is not the goddess her father is best at dealing with. Can he solve the problem?

"Mom, what should we do now? Has father thought of a solution?" Melina asked with concern.

Apoptotic Rose shook her head and said: "Talos is not so easy to satisfy. Your father ruined a wedding arranged by him. I suggested that he marry the princess of the Kingdom of Rage, but he refused."

Melina said doubtfully: "Ah? Mother, why would you suggest this? You were angry when I said something wrong last time."

Melina said something too much last time, letting Amber Xiu continue to pretend to be Mongo Gray River and marry Ariel, so that the Kingdom of Rage could be completely stabilized. As a result, Apoptotic Rose almost didn't give her a love education.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Apoptotic Rose who suggested it herself.

Apoptotic Rose shook her head and said: "It wasn't a big trouble before, and it could be solved without getting married. But this time, your father is in trouble again, and I can't help him."

In the past, Apoptotic Rose could still spend some money and borrow people to help An Boxiu solve most of his problems, but now all the troubles An Boxiu encountered were related to gods. Apoptotic Rose felt that she could no longer help, but instead Whenever he encounters any trouble, he always goes to Amber Xiu.

What makes Apoptotic Rose even more confused is, when did she start caring about this kind of thing?

Does this have anything to do with destroying Ryan?

Apoptotic Rose is even a little worried now. When she dies, she doesn't know how Amber Xiu will react.

This feeling was so strange that Apoptotic Rose didn't know how to deal with it.

So when she heard about the wedding, Apoptotic Rose tentatively asked Amber Xiu to see if he was interested in marrying the Raging Tide Princess.

In the eyes of Apoptotic Rose, the princess of the Raging Tide Kingdom is no different from the drow. If Amberxiu likes her and can solve this trouble, that would be a good thing.

But after getting a negative answer, Apoptotic Rose felt a little happy again.

And if Amberxiu doesn't marry Ariel, how will he solve this problem? Apoptotic Rose can't watch Amberxiu being punished by Talos.

The last lich targeted by Talos was turned into a slave **** by Talos and tortured for countless years. Finally, he was lucky enough to escape.

Not every **** is as lucky as Velsalun. If he cannot escape, he will be tortured to death by Talos.

This feeling made Apoptotic Rose feel confused. What on earth was wrong with her?

A feeling of irritability surged into her heart. This was the first time that Apoptotic Rose felt emotionally unstable because of something other than Ryan.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Princess Ariel suddenly came to Apoptotic Rose's room.

Ariel said hello to Apoptotic Rose, and then said to Ariel: "I told you last time about going out to sea to hunt narwhals. Today there is a whaling harpoon ship going out to sea. Do you want to go together?"

Melina's eyes suddenly lit up.

After this period of getting along, Ariel and Apoptotic Rose can only have a good relationship on the surface, but when it comes to intimacy, Melina, who doesn't look too smart, is more enjoyable to get along with.

Ariel doesn't have many friends her age, and Melina, who is so careless at first glance, is perfect for making friends, which can allow Ariel to escape from the heavy official duties and intrigues and relax her spirit.

After this back and forth, the relationship between the two became quite good, and they often met up to play together.

Melina glanced at her mother, and after receiving Apoptotic Rose's consent, she happily took Ariel's hand and left.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Apoptotic Rose suddenly had a strange idea. When Ryan is destroyed and he dies, even if this Princess Ariel really takes her place, she should be very kind to Melina.

Apoptotic Rose shook her head, this was not something she should consider.

Having offended so many gods before, he couldn't do anything to that man. Talos thought the same was true, and I believed he could solve it.

Ambrose didn't know that his "emotional life" was so rich, and he was now taking another lady with whom he was entangled to the depths of the sea.

The former elf queen Catherine was sitting on the Black Tide with Amber Xiu. Two months ago, Catherine would be very curious about airships.

But now, two routes have been established for the drow, from Silver Moon Highgarden to the Dwarf Capital, and from the Dwarf Capital to the Orc Empire.

There are a total of six transport airships on these two routes, with cargo capacity ranging from ten tons to fifty tons. They are all controlled by drow elves. Catherine personally trained each one until they were sent to the airship.

Of the thousands of drow around Catherine, only thirty people were finally able to enter the airship. It was only under the influence of Catherine's unlimited charm that thirty people were able to change their ways.

This shows how serious the "bad nature" of the drow is, and it is not something that can be changed overnight.

Each transport airship only has five drow, which are responsible for navigation, steering, handover with customers, etc. However, Amberxiu's airship is equipped with a large number of "intelligent undead", so it is relatively simple to operate.

Just transport the goods to the designated location, and then both parties inspect the goods and pay the money. Unloading the goods does not require the drow to do it themselves.

In order to build a reputation, the first freight businesses barely made any money and barely offset the transportation costs. But the Drow Route has already gained a reputation, and as more goods are transported in the future, it can start to make money evenly.

It's just that Catherine spent a lot of time warning these drows not to sell their bodies for advertising. If Catherine hadn't discovered it early, maybe these drows would have dared to use the airship as a mobile brothel to attract business. .

Amberxiu is very supportive of Catherine's decision. There is no distinction between high and low in business, but it depends on whether there will be mutual influence.

These routes he runs are to earn transportation fees and are part of the entire business map. If other things are mixed in, management will be difficult, and various accidents will be more likely to occur. When the time comes that the drow have had too much fun, what should they do if they take a shot at the console? Whose fault is it if it crashes?

If you crash an airship, the loss will be one million gold coins per unit. Flight safety must be strictly observed to prevent any accidents.

Catherine has been really busy lately, not only taking care of the drow routes, but also the undersea battles are still going on. Lane's generals went back to fight, but the generals on both sides of the elves and the Unholy Songs were still advancing the front in the volcanic sea. The relationship between tieflings and elves is not very good, and there is no general like Ange Watson who can crush others with pure skills on both sides, so they often quarrel.

Catherine not only has to take care of the drow routes, but also occasionally shows up to stop their internal fighting and ensure the smooth advancement of the battle line. Just when she was too busy to do anything, Amberxiu brought her out.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Catherine was sitting on the Kuroshio, sulking, and said to Amber Xiu: "I'm really overwhelmed. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Amberxiu nodded and said, "Only you can help with this matter. I want to talk to the fish-man goddess Kuo Tao."

Catherine frowned and said: "Are you planning to blaspheme again? As a friend, I want to advise you that greed is a poison and will corrode your will. You already have enough wealth, even if you do nothing, you have countless gold coins They will also come towards you, why do you need to attack the gods again?”

Amber Xiu said helplessly: "As you said, whenever I take the initiative to trouble the gods, isn't it always the gods who are looking for trouble for me? I am acting in self-defense."

Catherine laughed, and then said: "If there were a few more people like you in the world who were self-defense, I'm afraid the number of pages in the Book of Gods would be reduced by half."

"Catherine, you have actually learned to be yin and yang. You have been polluted after spending a long time with the drow. I'm afraid your pure and kind soul has been stained."

Catherine rolled her eyes at Amber, not even bothering to talk to him about such a topic.

"You'd better explain it quickly. I don't have a mouth blessed by the Prince of Lies. I can't help you with deceiving the gods, otherwise I will go back."

Amberxiu could only tell Talos's problem once, and then explained: "I need the help of the Kuo Tao mermaid goddess. Aiolos has let Talos down. As long as Ariel can go through Aiolos's script, , I believe Talos can be satisfied if he can survive these disasters.

"Don't he just want a hero? Men and women shouldn't have much to do with each other. So this time I'm looking for the Kuo Tao mermaid goddess. I just hope that he will continue his previous plan and just change his target from Aiolos to Ariel."

Catherine said in surprise: "You have gone too far. Last time you deceived the princess of the Rage Kingdom, and this time you pushed her to go through hardships. You are too inhumane."

"Nonsense, how can I, a lich, have any humanity?" Amberxiu asked, "Just say whether you can help or not. This is related to the safety of your drow routes. Talos will sneeze on us if he is unhappy. All the ships crashed."

Amberxiu is not an alarmist. Talos's will will directly affect the weather in this world. He does not need to take action. As long as he gets angry a few more times, thunderstorms will continue all year round and have a devastating impact on the airship route.

Catherine said: "I can't just watch you push the innocent girl out to suffer. Even if the Lord of the Storm is really angry because of this, that is not the reason for you to harm innocent people. I would rather pray to the elves and gods for help. I don't want you to do this kind of thing. You were not like this before. Even if you were plotting against others, you at least maintained the most basic morals. You were not willing to kill even one of the Lane people who kidnapped an entire city. Die. Because of this, I will always help you. Why are you like this now?"

Seeing Catherine's disappointed and sad expression, Amber Xiu was also stunned for a moment.

Catherine seems to be right, her moral level is declining off a cliff, and the key is that Amberxiu himself doesn't even feel it.

This is the result of the loss of humanity. The Order of Amber is becoming more and more ruthless and less human.

Amberxiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Maybe this is my fate. From the time I transformed into a lich, no matter how hard I try, I will only fall into the evil camp. Otherwise, why are undead inherently evil?"

Catherine said: "I don't believe it. Other undead people can say that, but you are different. You don't even take the gods seriously. It's impossible that you can't solve this kind of thing."

"You think too highly of me." Amberxiu shook his head and said, "No more nonsense. Since you don't agree to send Ariel to suffer, what do you want to do?"
