Chapter 469 Remembering the past
After getting what he wanted most, Amberxiu was no longer prepared to stay in this barren place.
Amberxiu looked at these Githyanki, mentally debating whether he should just kill these toads. But then I thought about it, would slaughtering these Githyanki groups be of any benefit to me?
On this trip, apart from getting the information I wanted, all other expenses exceeded the limit. If you get a magical reward, you won't be able to use it for a while, and you have to spend a lot of time and material costs to experiment before you can turn waste into treasure.
In other words, I was at a loss on this trip.
This was a fact that Amberxiu couldn't accept. He had to find a way to earn it back from other places, otherwise it would be like ants crawling on him until he made money again to eliminate this feeling.
Amberxiu looked at these Githyanki until their heads began to turn into the shape of gold coins, then Amberxiu said, "It's hard for you to live here, right? Although the Githyanki have strong vitality, they only eat I'm afraid there's not enough fish for you to maintain your fighting power, and there's not enough food here either. It's already the limit to feed the current population, right?”
The Githyanki leader squinted his eyes, he really couldn't figure out the purpose of the three people in front of him.
After all the hard work to get to a place like this, the result is to ask for some information about the Mind Flayer? This sounds counterintuitive.
If the fallen Githyanki hadn't been in a coma, both parties might not have been able to talk calmly.
Now, the necromancer named Kel'Thuzad is finally going to reveal his true purpose?
"What exactly are you trying to say? We Githyanki don't like to beat around the bush, so just say what you need."
After hearing this, Amberxiu stopped being polite to him and said bluntly: "What else do you Githyanki have to be proud of? Isn't it just your aggression and strong fighting power? A race like yours where everyone is a soldier. , it would be a waste not to fight.
"I have channels that can help you join the war as mercenaries, and as a reward, you will receive food, weapons, alchemy potions and other supplies. And to show my sincerity, I can help you freely enter and leave this place shrouded in thunder. "
This sea area is shrouded in thunderstorms, and the only way out is the bottom of the sea. However, there are a large number of sea beasts in the undersea labyrinth. It is unknown how many casualties there will be after entering and exiting.
And Amberxiu was blessed by Talos and could be protected from attacks by sea beasts, so it would be no problem to bring them out.
This condition actually excites the Githyanki.
The character of this race is not the type to be content and contented. They are predators from the star realm. They enter each plane and learn from the mind flayers to slaughter and enslave the creatures in the plane. They constantly absorb nutrients and then discard them directly after eating. .
Even with their losses, violence is still in the Githyanki DNA.
They will definitely leave this place and rejoin the battle. If they can enter and exit freely, this will be the best secret base.
"Do you really have a way to come and go freely?"
"Of course, you can verify it at any time. The Lane people and the orcs are at war recently, and there should be many places for you to play. Anyway, you have a grudge against the Lane people, and you can get money and take revenge with the power of the orcs. For you, It should be a good thing, right?”
Previously, I originally wanted to form an army of heroic spirits and put them on the battlefield in the form of mercenaries to make money from the war.
The same holds true now, the Githyanki are also very high-quality mercenaries. As long as they are used properly, these toads can completely replace the heroic troops to work for them, and it also saves them the trouble of subsequent maintenance. The Githyanki can take care of themselves. .
Amberxiu discussed with the Githyanki leader for a long time, then took him under the sea to prove that he could drive away sea beasts, and finally everyone made a preliminary intention to cooperate.
Amberxiu left a magic mirror as a contact method, and then took Ariel and Arthur away from this terrible sea.
Along the way, Amberxiu was still calculating how much price difference he would have to bear as a middleman.
This group of Githyanki has a bad reputation, and if I vouch for them, they must eat 70% of them, or else it will be in vain.
Amberxiu was too focused on settling accounts and didn't notice Ariel looking at him along the way.
For Ariel, that indescribable feeling of déjà vu became more and more obvious.
The lich in front of me is really strange. How come the way of deceiving people by opening his mouth is so similar to that of Monge Gray River?
"Is it my own imagination?"
Ariel wasn't sure, because if you compared the two carefully, there was actually no similarity between them.
The tone and speed of his speech are completely different, and his wording habits are completely different. Meng Gray River will often say some proverbs that are unique to the Kingdom of Rage to enhance his persuasion.
But this lich didn't. His accent was more like a mainlander, and his actions were more like a scholar, rather than a general leading troops to sea.
But for some reason, Ariel still felt they were very similar, like a pair of brothers who grew up in different places and had different living habits, but they were very similar.
Just because you can't see any flaws doesn't mean you won't doubt it. Women are much more emotional than men. Ariel couldn't find any evidence, but she intuitively felt that something was wrong.
Therefore, when the two returned to the Gray River, Ariel couldn't help but ask: "Ultraman Master, do you have any brothers or sisters? Or, do you have other blood relatives?" Amber Xiu was stunned, no. I know why Ariel asked that.
But this question is easy to answer.
"I'm afraid I don't know for sure. After all, I've lived for hundreds of years, and I had some romantic encounters before I was reincarnated into a lich, so I can't be sure whether I have any biological descendants. However, if you want to talk about brothers and sisters, If so, then there should be no such thing. Why did Her Royal Highness suddenly ask about this?"
Ariel was a little embarrassed. It was really impolite to inquire about personal privacy, but she still said honestly: "I once knew a friend. He is nothing like you, but I just think you two are very similar." Similar, I really don't understand why, that's why I ask this, I'm really sorry.”
Amberxiu's soul fire pulsed secretly.
No, this little girl can relate to herself? Ambrose can definitely say that there are no flaws in his acting skills.
The waistcoat is turned on too much, and Amber Xiu is very attentive in every performance, and strives to fit the character in every detail, otherwise it would be impossible to trick an entire big family on the side of the orcs and destroy them.
Therefore, Amber Xiu is extremely confident that there will not be any traces of Mengg Gray River on his body. As for the so-called "smart people" issue, most smart people in the world are similar. They speak appropriately and hit the point. It is a common point and cannot be used as evidence at all.
How did this little girl associate it with him?
Amberxiu didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Oh, the friend Her Royal Highness is talking about is that General Meng Gray River, right? I have heard of this man's great achievements, and Your Highness also uses his name. He came to name this spaceship, he is indeed a nostalgic person.”
Ariel seemed to be lost in memories and said slowly: "Actually, I only really knew him for a few days. Before, I only thought this man was a flattering man with no ability, but later I found that he was the only one who could understand me... "
Ariel slowly told the story of the two of them.
The Kingdom of Raging Tide is influenced by the faith of the Lord of Storms. The top officials in the country are all fighting maniacs, and they are fighting maniacs who have no self-awareness.
Militarism is the biggest problem of the Kingdom of Rage, but it is surrounded by opponents it cannot afford to offend.
Ariel grew up in this environment, but she was the first person in the kingdom to discover problems.
But even as a princess, her original claim was still questioned by everyone.
You want peace? So how do you face the Storm Lord?
How can a coward who endures hardship inherit this kingdom?
So Ariel had a heated argument with her father more than once about the Silent Pirates. Even her biological father didn't understand her, and Ariel only felt extremely lonely.
And Monge Gray River was the first person to support her.
And it wasn't just support. Mengg Gray River had to bear the pressure of the entire kingdom to accomplish this impossible thing. Ariel watched the whole audience, watching this man help her realize her dream.
The kingdom no longer needs to fill it with people, nor does it need to mobilize the entire population to fight against a group of undead. The people of the Wrathful Tide Kingdom can live peacefully for a period of time without worrying about starving to death.
Ariel couldn't describe how she felt, there was so much more besides shock and gratitude.
Unfortunately, before Ariel could figure out her thoughts, Mongo Gray River died without warning, leaving only a pile of ashes.
Ariel frantically tried to find the truth, but in vain.
The heavy responsibility of the kingdom falls on her shoulders, because she and Monge Gray River are the only two people who firmly follow the line of cooperation. Now that Monge Gray River is dead, Ariel must persevere alone.
Then the heavy work numbed her nerves. For a long time, Ariel forgot about Mengg Gray River and herself.
But when she has some free time, those few days of getting along will emerge clearly.
Now being asked by Amber Xiu, Ariel even wanted to cry a little bit, but Ariel hadn't cried again since she was four years old.
The dwarf vampire who had been hiding in the spaceship and lazily seized the opportunity, and the quill flew again: "Her Royal Highness the Princess whispered softly, pouring out her endless thoughts. Her eyes were shining with the light of memories, as if they could penetrate the mists of time, Touching those warm moments again. At this moment, she is not a princess, but a girl who is intoxicated with the joy and sorrow of the past. Unfortunately, she does not know that the indifferent lich in front of her is the previous passerby, under the stiff skeleton. Has the fire of the soul ever beat for this..."
Amberxiu looked at Ariel with red eyes in embarrassment. This time it seemed a little hurtful. They had only been together for a few days, but their feelings were so deep? I'm afraid this princess has never been in love in her entire life. Her resistance in this aspect is negative.
This can't go on like this, Ariel's intuition is a bit scary, and she must find a way to divert her attention.
Amberxiu said to Ariel: "Your Highness Princess, you just said that General Meng Gray River left ashes and words, saying that he would come back sooner or later?"
