This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 497

Chapter 497 A suicide note

Regarding fate, Amber Xiu has always had complicated feelings.

When Amberxiu first became a prophecy mage, he wished he could kneel in front of the goddess of destiny and kiss her toes. It's so cool to predict the future, and the probability of changing it is so powerful, it's like the power of a god.

But every time when Amberxiu was about to get carried away, the goddess of fate would give him a headbutt, knocking him dizzy.

Now Amberxiu still remembers the first time he failed to interpret the prophecy, which resulted in the head of the noble lady he was protecting being beheaded. Before he died, he looked at Amberxiu with those innocent eyes, as if he wanted to ask why he followed It's different as promised.

Be trusted by others, but ultimately let them down.

This feeling made Amberxiu decadent for a long time, so much so that his attitude towards fate changed.

In the following time, Amberxiu kept swaying from side to side. Every time the power of fate was used, for him, it was like applying various colors of paint to the canvas. From blank space to colorful, and finally more and more pigments, only a dirty black mass remains.

There is nothing you can do about it. When you increase your intelligence with all your strength and develop in the direction of a legendary mage, your memory and understanding will get better and better. The reason why Amber Xiu was so decisive in transforming into a lich was partly because of the lack of money, and partly because of these heavy memories.

It wasn't until he threw away most of his feelings and everything about fate that he began to feel relaxed.

Therefore, even though Amberxiu knows so many gods, he has never thought about asking the gods to restore his human body. Amberxiu has never been addicted to everything in synesthetic dreams that can simulate human feelings.

The reason is very simple. Life is too hard. It's hard to escape, so why jump back?

When you have various desires such as appetite, lust, greed, and desire for expression, you need not only material enjoyment, but also other people's recognition, emotional resonance, and various emotional values and self-satisfaction. Then your troubles It's all the things you can't ask for.

When you only like money, your only worry will be poverty.

It sounds like an escape, and it is, a shameful but useful escape.

After being reincarnated as a lich, Amberxiu had the easiest time in his life. As long as he made money, he didn't have to worry about anything.

But fate still followed him like a shadow, as if it didn't want him to feel comfortable.

The person whom Aldarion called the prophecy mage was quickly sent to Amber Xiu. She was a young girl with a very ordinary appearance, the kind who would never be recognized among the crowd.

But the moment he saw this girl, Amberxiu suddenly remembered something, and asked before the girl introduced herself: "Do you recognize the name Selwyn?"

The girl was stunned for a moment and said in a serious tone: "The unrevealed destiny is hidden in the shadows, and I avoid my destined death in the shadows. Dear Master Ultraman, Selwyn is my teacher, and I am now Inherited the name."

Amberxiu recalled an old man with unkempt hair and a beggar-like face, an opponent he met by chance in the wilderness many years ago.

Amberxiu still remembers the interesting bet the two had at that time, which was tossing a coin.

Amberxiu bets that the coin will stand up, but the old man bets that it won't.

Finally, the coin flew into the sky and was picked up by a crow.

The most interesting part of this bet is that Amberxiu's die of destiny has been thrown out, and he has seen the future where the coin is standing, but this old man named Selwyn has not been able to change the future that Amberxiu has locked up, so His method is to obscure this future.

No one can see the coin standing up, so no one can confirm whether fate has arrived.

At that time, Amber Xiu thought that this old man was just cheating, but later he figured it out. This man was better than him.

After the destiny is revealed, it cannot be changed. The old man's method is to prevent this destiny from being revealed and postpone the arrival of the destiny indefinitely.

For a prophecy mage who hangs out with the Goddess of Destiny, this move is almost tantamount to blasphemy.

Perhaps there are countless ways to interpret fate, and each prophecy mage chooses a different path, and the goddess of fate is more tolerant than imagined.

The inconspicuous little girl in front of her looked exactly like the old man back then. She was clearly standing there but seemed to be standing in nothingness. If Harvey were here, he would find that the threads of fate involved in this girl are many times less than those of ordinary people, as if she has many fewer connections with the world. Amberxiu said with emotion: "Since you said you inherited the name Selwyn, I guess my old friend is no longer here."

The girl said calmly: "Master Ultraman, according to what the teacher said, you just met once and you robbed him of all the money."

Amberxiu said without any embarrassment: "Your teacher refused to admit defeat. Of course you have to pay the price for cheating."

When the crow took the coin away, Amberxiu beat the old man and took away his wallet. Since fate has given Amber Xiu a fist, he cannot let it go!

The girl seemed to already know who Amberxiu was, and had no respect for the old man at all. She just calmly handed a scroll to Amberxiu.

"The teacher asked me to give this to you. My mission is now completed."

Amberxiu took the scroll in his hand, but did not open it. Instead, he asked the girl, "How long have you been looking for me?"

"Thirty-seven years."

"Thirty-seven years ago, your teacher asked you to give this to you? Then you were very slow."

Amber Xiu was a little suspicious that this girl had never used the teleportation array, otherwise how could it have taken thirty-seven years for a scroll to be delivered.

"The main time is wasted in determining your identity. Ultraman Master, do you know how many pseudonyms you have used?"

"As a prophecy mage, if you can't even find the right direction, it seems you haven't learned Selwyn's skills."

The girl who inherited the name of Selwyn was not angry, but said to Amber Xiu: "This is the second reason why I came to you. Master Ultraman, I want to be your student."

Amberxiu said doubtfully: "Your teacher and I have completely different paths."

The girl said helplessly: "I am not suitable for the name Selwyn, nor am I suitable for the path chosen by the teacher. However, the teacher only found me as a student who could get started until the day he died."

Amberxiu understood this feeling very well. After living for hundreds of years, he only picked up Harvey as a student, and this kid was not very easy to use. Amberxiu's senior brother Mr. Fortune is even worse. He has never met a successor in his life, and in the end he has to compete with Amberxiu for Harvey.

The profession of prophecy mage is really about talent, and the meaning of hard work is not very big.

Amberxiu didn't agree or refuse, he just weighed the scroll in his hand and said, "I'm afraid I have no chance to be your teacher. What is recorded in this scroll is my unlucky future."

Good things don't come in this way. The gifts of fate are usually delivered directly to you, with only the price tag inside hidden. It took thirty-seven years to get something delivered. You don't need to think about it to know that it is the price that Amber Xiu has accumulated along the way.

Come to think of it, it's time to be unlucky.

The girl who inherited the name of Selwyn shook her head and said: "I don't know the content inside. The teacher said that only you are qualified to view it. However, we prophecy mages are like this. Since you have a premonition of something bad, it is probably not a good thing."

Amberxiu patted the **** the shoulder and said, "Yes, it seems you have realized something."

After Amberxiu said this, he no longer hesitated and reached out to open the scroll in his hand.

Destiny is irresistible. The girl in front of her has this awareness, and Amber Xiu is not even worse than a child.

He originally thought that what was recorded on it was the prophecy that Selwyn left for him, maybe it was a specific picture, and maybe his death was recorded on it.

Amberxiu thought he was ready, but the last thing he saw was a letter.

It was a suicide note written by Selwyn to him thirty-seven years ago.
