This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Negotiating Business with the Gods

　 Regardless of gender or race, the most unforgettable thing is often the first time.

Amber Xiu has traveled through many years and had many teachers, those who taught him magic, those who taught him lockpicking, those who taught him business, and those who taught him enjoyment...but these teachers are no longer here.

Immortality is still unattainable for most mortals. If becoming a spellcaster is one in ten thousand, then becoming a legend is one in ten million. And legend is only the threshold for immortality. There are many accidents that make legends The strong lose their lives.

The blind old man with a broken hand in front of him is the first teacher that Amber Xiu met after traveling through time.

At that time, Amber Xiu had just arrived and had no understanding of the world. As a time traveler, he didn't even have a system, so he fainted from hunger after three days of time traveling.

When he woke up, he was picked up by the blind old man in front of him.

What follows is a lackluster apprenticeship of eighteen years.

The old man didn't speak much. His eyes and one arm were blown off during an alchemy experiment. When he passed by, he found that Amberxiu was about to starve to death, so he picked him up out of kindness. At that time, Amberxiu thought he had met an expert hermit. He worked hard to take care of the old man and studied day and night.

The result disappointed him. Amberxiu didn't learn much from this teacher. At best, he learned the introductory knowledge of alchemy. At that time, Amberxiu knew less about alchemy than Isabel.

And this old man doesn't have any hidden treasures, secret inheritance, or extremely awesome special identity.

Nothing at all, this old man is just a very ordinary old man who was disabled due to alchemy. In the last days of his life, he picked up a young man who knew nothing, not only as a student, but also as a pension insurance.

The old man had a bad temper and was very venomous. He often quarreled with Amber Xiu, but the disciple was still very attentive. Amber Xiu was still grateful to him for saving his life, so he took care of the old man for more than ten years until he died. It was also from that day that Amber Xiu officially became an adventurer. Then came hundreds of years of wandering life, until recently transformed into a lich.

Originally, he thought this was just an unforgettable memory. He never expected to see this teacher here.

"It turns out you are not a bad alchemist. You have been pretending for eighteen years and let me raise you for eighteen years..." Amber Xiu's tone gradually became excited, and finally he roared loudly: "You are Aren't you sick?! You old bastard, you destroyed all the materials I had saved up before you faked your death, forcing me to dig your grave with my hands!"

Amberxiu was really angry. He didn't think there was anything bad about those eighteen years of hard life. He just regarded it as bad luck and encountered hardships in life. Thinking that the teacher himself was a disabled person, Amberxiu didn't have much resentment. Now that he saw this guy standing in front of him alive, pretending to be a boss, those eighteen years of suffering suddenly turned into a joke.

That is to say, being reincarnated into a lich can suppress emotions better, otherwise the old man would definitely throw three magic missiles at him now.

The crippled old man changed his appearance again and returned to the appearance of the young alchemist's gold coin. Then he said to Amber Xiu: "Don't be angry. I didn't fake my death. I really died at that time. But no one could have imagined that. After I died, I became a god."

“I believe you are a ghost!” Amber Xiu originally wanted to ignore the teacher who appeared out of nowhere, but suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

“Wait a minute, you said you were promoted to a god?” Amberxiu said doubtfully.

“Yes, I am the **** of alchemy, Arkham Solomon.”

“You said your name was Old Pete.” Ambrose sneered.

The young **** smiled and said: "After I became a god, this name became too common. I later changed it to the name from the story you told me. My students, are you interested in being my god's choice? ?”

Amberxiu no longer wanted to pay attention to this bastard. He turned to the president who had turned into a one-eyed tentacle monster and said, "I want to make a wish."

No matter whether the **** of alchemy is real or not, Amberxiu decided to get the benefits first.

However, the president seemed not to have heard what Amber Xiu said. The remaining one eye stared at the God of Alchemy and asked: "You are the God of Alchemy, why have you never favored us over the years?"

The God of Alchemy showed a strange expression and said: "You don't believe in me, and you even want to create a new **** to replace me, and you ask me why I don't favor you? I'm just further ahead in alchemy than you are. I'm just a senior, and I'm already very polite to a group of juniors who don't even have the least respect.”

The president immediately retorted: "But you cursed us so that alchemists can no longer create new formulas!"

The God of Alchemy changed his serious expression and explained to the president: "I don't have this ability. This is Ogma's punishment for you. The Lord of Knowledge believed that the alchemists at that time had seriously crossed the line. If your behavior is not stopped, it will have irreversible consequences. He discussed with me to temporarily ban your creativity. Of course, I agree, because I also feel that you have hit the bottom line.

"Gary Watts, don't you know what Alchemy City was doing at that time? Those experiments have gone beyond the limits of morality, and the devils in **** are ashamed. It's just that I regret it and shouldn't leave it to you. The opportunity to break the curse led to today's situation.”

Ogma, the Lord of Knowledge, the namer of all things, a powerful **** of the absolutely neutral camp. It is said that he can decide whether a new idea appears in the world, and it is not difficult for him to block the creativity of the alchemist.

Amberxiu also felt outrageous when he heard that it was possible for an absolutely neutral **** to inflict divine punishment. What did these alchemists do that was so outrageous?

The pupil of the president's one eye shrank, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

“You even created seven towers to humiliate us!” “Whether it's a humiliation or a reminder, it all depends on what you think.”

The God of Alchemy was quite disdainful of the president's questioning and said in a lecturing tone: "These seven towers represent the seven most common errors in alchemy and are the basis of almost all experiments. Those apprentices of yours over the years are Aren't the chances of basic errors greatly reduced?

“Of course it is. When you open your eyes and look at these seven towers every day, you will naturally avoid these seven stupid mistakes when doing experiments, but you actually regard it as a humiliation.

“Insignificant thing, don't use your mortal thoughts to guess the thoughts of gods.”

Amberxiu felt a little weird when he heard this. Wasn't this what the president used to scold Dipper just now? A short while later, the boomerang hit him on the head.

Seeing that the president was about to break his guard, Amberxiu said quickly: "Leave him alone, this man has a very vicious mouth! There is no point in arguing with him, come true for me!"

But before the president could respond, the God of Alchemy snapped his fingers, as if the whole world had become silent.

　　Not only is it quiet, but even the flow of the air is still. This is the effect of time stasis, but it is no longer the scroll spell that Amber Xiu saw, but the spell cast by the **** himself.

At this moment, the entire Alchemy City was stopped in time, including the two sides who were fighting fiercely on the ground.

The entire city came to a standstill, leaving only Amber Xiu and the God of Alchemy still able to move.

"Okay, now that we have time, we can chat slowly." The God of Alchemy conjured a set of tables and chairs from nowhere. Even tea was prepared. He waved to Amber Xiu and said, "My student. "Are you really not going to reminisce with the teacher?"

Amberxiu gritted his teeth, sat opposite the God of Alchemy, and said coldly: "Do I have any other choice?"

The God of Alchemy poured a cup of tea for Amber Xiu, and then said: "Don't be like this, you are the student I admire most. The first time I saw you, I was attracted by your clear eyes that were not contaminated by magic knowledge. "

Amberxiu said without mercy: "Come on, you were already blind when you met me! Also, isn't this sentence mocking my stupidity?"

“Look, this is where you are smart, you immediately discovered my flaw.”

The God of Alchemy sighed and then said sadly: "But I want to correct you. You are definitely not stupid, you are just too greedy. You want to learn everything, you want to know everything, but the result is nothing. I never doubt You can reach the stage of becoming a legend, but look at what you have done, what is the use of this legend? If you had insisted on alchemy, maybe you would be my disciple now."

After hearing this, Amber Xiu was not moved at all. Instead, he chuckled and said to the God of Alchemy: "You and I were so poor that we didn't even have enough to eat. It was you who misled me and made me think that the consequences of just learning alchemy would be Go beg for food! If I didn't learn magic and become a thief, we would have died of hunger!”

No matter how much he thought about it, An Boxiu felt that something was wrong. The old man didn't know much about alchemy at first, so how could he become the **** of alchemy? This bad old man must have hidden a lot of things, but he probably wouldn't tell him, and An Boxiu didn't know much about alchemy. Bai Xiu felt that there was no need to worry about it now.

"My teacher, please understand one thing. I have never been your believer. Don't try to use religion on me. You taught me the basics of alchemy. I have raised you for more than ten years. You are still mine after all. Damn it! So don't look so sad, as if I owe you. Now, let's get back to the point, what do you want to do?”

After becoming a lich, everything you had as a living person should disappear, and you should focus on the immediate interests. Now Amberxiu just wants to know the reason why the God of Alchemy appears here. Is he trying to cause trouble, or is he trying to pick peaches?

The God of Alchemy sighed and said: "Don't worry, I know you want the effect of the wishing spell. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and the teacher will not treat you badly. This wishing spell is yours, and the other gods have also agreed. ,you do not need to worry."

Amberxiu immediately discovered the problem and asked: "Other gods?"

The God of Alchemy took a sip of tea and then explained: "Yes, although Gary Watts is crazy, his wisdom has indeed reached the level of a god. He turned himself into an artifact that can perform prayers. He succeeded, but it surprised the gods. But, do you think the gods would just ignore it?

“The wish spell is originally the gap between mortals and gods. You can cast the wish spell without any restrictions. This is a godhead that can be used as soon as you pick it up. How could the gods let a godhead wander in the mortal world.”

Amberxiu thought for a while and agreed with what the God of Alchemy said.

"The nine kingdoms will fight over this artifact, and no one can escape. Because no matter what the fight is, as long as I grab this artifact, all the troubles will end. If I get this artifact, I will also be known by legends across the continent. Keep an eye on me and they will swarm me and tear me apart.”

The God of Alchemy nodded and said: "Yes, I know you can figure it out. If these legends unite, weaker gods will be killed by them. So I am here today to seal this artifact. Otherwise, the entire continent will be destroyed." They will all be destroyed by the war. However, there is nothing wrong with giving you a chance to make a wish before sealing it.

“How about it, the teacher treats you well, right?”

After hearing this, An Boxiu showed no sign of happiness. Instead, he said in disappointment: "That's it? I've been busy for so long, and the ownership of the wishing ritual was originally mine. You suddenly appeared and said you wanted to take it back, but... Give me a chance to make a wish, and you still say it's for my own good? Teacher, you are still so good at settling accounts.”

The expression of the God of Alchemy became a little stiff, and he said helplessly: "I knew it would not be that easy to negotiate, but, my dear student, did you make a mistake? This was decided after discussion by the gods. Do you have the confidence to go against the will of the gods?"

Amberxiu listened and smiled and said: "Gods? Is it the result of the discussion of the lawful gods? There are far more than one gods who want this world to burn."
