This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 149 Foreseeing Death

 Catherine finally understood why the elven elders had not advised her to go out.

Even though she has turned into an orc, she is still a stunning beauty in the eyes of the orcs.

 Originally, Catherine stood blankly next to Ambrose, wanting to hear how he chatted with the bartender.

 But not long after she stood, she found that many people in the tavern were staring at her, which made Catherine quite uncomfortable.

 Has there been any flaw in yourself?

Trying to observe the orcs in the tavern, Catherine quickly discovered her own problem—not rude enough.

  No orc will stand like Catherine, their posture is always curved.

Before sitting at the bar, you need to bend down and support the table with your elbows. When sitting on a chair, you need to lean back and spread your legs as far as possible. Even if you are standing, you need to find something to lean on to make a point.

Catherine is a habit of the elves. She must maintain an elegant posture at all times, and the core of the body must be stable. She cannot stand or sit or sit down. This is very impolite to the elves.

 Catherine thought this was why she attracted attention.

 Another wealthy man shouted loudly: "How dare you give me this little pocket money? Beauty, come here, brother, these are all yours!"

Such a woman makes the wealthy man very excited, so he can’t wait to give her money. For other women, tipping would only be done after taking advantage of her, and just touching her little hands would be enough.

 At first, Catherine thought the orcs throwing dice were playing some kind of game. Until a black-skinned orc who was full of the aura of a nouveau riche came over and said very bluntly: "Hey, beauty, don't you want to play with your hands?"

 Chips representing hundreds or thousands of gold coins were thrown out at will, and this wealthy man seemed to be more powerful.

 Yes, it’s temperament. This female orc has a unique temperament that makes her so different and unforgettable at first sight.

Catherine was almost dazzled by the gold ring on his hand and the gold-encrusted fangs, and she frowned even more because of the smell of alcohol on this man's body.

Facing this black-skinned orc, Catherine decisively refused and said: "No, I don't know how to play."

“Don’t be shy, come on, come on, I still have a lot of chips here, I’ll teach you how to play, if you win, it’s yours, if you lose, it’s mine.”

Catherine looked around and was about to find an empty seat to sit down on. She just spread her legs and leaned on the back of the chair. This action would not be difficult for a legendary ranger.

I don’t know why, but this female orc doesn’t look like an orc, but after a few more glances, I feel that she is very beautiful, with a beauty that goes beyond her appearance.

 In the custom of the elves, this is a clear rejection, and the other party should retreat gracefully.

 So, she wants to try to change.

Orcs are used to straight-forward things. Generally speaking, beautiful people are beautiful and ugly people are ugly. However, the female orc in front of me reminds the rich man of the word temperament.

　　It’s just that Catherine had no idea that she was sitting at a gambling table.

 The wealthy man didn't even see Catherine's movements clearly, and when he grabbed her, he only caught air.

The rich man said that he was about to sit down next to Catherine. No matter how much money he spent today, he would win over this beautiful woman with a unique temperament.

 But how could there be only one wealthy person on the same gambling table.

  But for the orcs, they don’t know how to play? Then can I teach you?

The black-skinned orc laughed and said, "Don't worry, if I lose, it's mine."

But the idea of ​​touching the hand of a legendary ranger is too unrealistic.

This wealthy man grabbed a handful of chips and was about to put them into Catherine's hand. He also wanted to touch Catherine's hand.

Several other orcs also saw Catherine and felt her special charm. Who could resist such a special beauty?

 Catherine looked confused. It was not that she had never been pursued by men, but the ones she had met before were all elves, and she was a queen. Who would dare to be so rude in front of her.

This method of throwing money directly made Catherine very annoyed, and she wanted to take out her wallet on the spot.

Hence, a few hundred gold coins are nothing. Her private money is worth tens of millions.

But the voice of the second wealthy man seemed to be too loud, which quickly attracted the attention of other guests.

 Then...more orcs noticed Catherine's presence.

Each orc seemed to have been pierced by the arrow of love in the heart. The rich ones opened their wallets directly, and the poor ones began to bulge their muscles intentionally or unintentionally.

 Wealth and power are the most traditional pursuits of orcs.

This bustle made other guests of other races in the tavern look over, and many people began to think deeply. They actually thought that this female orc had a pretty face... Could it be that the tavern had given them fake wine?

Catherine panicked, what did this large number of smelly orcs surrounding her mean?

The panicked elf girl had no choice but to ask Amber Xiu for help, and her eyes met with Amber Xiu's after finishing the business deal.

Amberxiu sighed, opened his left hand and made a fist with his right hand, and then hammered it hard into the palm of his hand.

Amberxiu: Do you understand?

 Catherine: Huh?

Amberxiu rolled his eyes, forgetting that this girl was a newbie, not an experienced person he had traveled with before, so he couldn't understand this gesture at all.

Amberxiu could only say to Catherine: "Kick them hard!"

 Because the number of female adventurers is rare, in places like taverns, female adventurers who are harassed have unlimited rights to fight back.

  Don’t complain even if you are beaten to death. They are all adventurers who lick blood from their swords. Women deserve to be beaten.

This kind of unequal rules full of machismo and discrimination against women are common in mainland China.

Catherine couldn't understand the hand signals, but she could understand them by looking at Amber's mouth.

 Catherine narrowed her eyes, and when another orc tycoon tried to grab her hand, she took off the long sword from her waist.

 The scabbard of the sword came first and struck the orc in the face.

With a popping sound, this orc rich man had already flown out, and people were already rolling their eyes in mid-air.

The unfortunate guy spun three and a half times in the air and smashed two tables. At this time, half of his face was swollen like over-fermented black bread, and even one of his fangs was broken.

 Half of her face was swollen, and even one of her fangs was broken. This power shocked the whole audience.

The ranger's main attribute is agility, but Catherine should not have too many magical equipment. The power of the equipment is enough for her to compete with the hill giant.

Such a violent and domineering power shocked everyone in the tavern.

Catherine seemed to have turned on the violent mode, and the orcs who wanted to take advantage were sent away by her, smashing one table after another.

Catherine was very restrained. She did not draw the sword out of its sheath, but just flapped it. Her superb martial arts was enough to crush this group of orcs.

 As the strong orcs were beaten away one by one, bursts of cheers erupted in the tavern.

 “Well done!”

 “Well done!”

 “Sister! I want to hang out with you!”

 “I’ll buy you a drink!”

 …

They are all people who do not take things too seriously. Catherine lost herself in the cheers and compliments and couldn't help but curl her lips.

 Is this an adventure? So exciting and fun.

Amberxiu sat quietly at the bar and did not stop when he saw Catherine excitedly pouring herself wine.

　　Many people were whispering in the corner, their eyes turning towards Catherine. Amidst all the compliments, cups of ale were delivered to Catherine, making her cheeks glow.

Even though she looks like an orc, Catherine still makes many people take a breath and start to doubt their own aesthetics.

The orc bartender wiped the glass calmly. Anyway, someone would compensate for the broken things, usually the loser, so he was not worried at all.

However, after looking at Catherine a few times, the absolutely neutral orc bartender couldn't help but said to Amber Xiu: "Why don't you remind your companions? There are several drow who are ready to add spices to her wine glass."

Amberxiu said calmly: "Tavern brawling is a compulsory course for adventurers. If you don't experience it once, no matter how much you remind me, it will be useless. She will blame me for spoiling the fun."

　　The orc bartender said disdainfully: "Tch, man."

 Amberxiu discovered that the bartender was a woman.

The main reason is that orcs generally have well-developed chest muscles. This orc bartender probably has a flat chest, which is extremely rare among orcs. It is really impossible to tell the difference between male and female just by looking at the face.

No wonder she was so calm and not much affected by Catherine.

However, the absolutely neutral bartender can also remind her that the charm of this elf queen is still too outrageous. Let her transform into a skeleton next time.

 No one is in love with skeletons.

Just as she was about to see if Catherine could notice that the wine glass had been filled with wine, a figure wrapped tightly in her body suddenly came to Amberxiu's side.

 The man lowered his voice and whispered: "Teacher...is that you?"

Amberxiu turned his head and said slightly surprised: "Harvey?"

Harvey lifted the scarf on his face and said excitedly: "It's really you! Teacher, long time no see!"

Amberxiu said with emotion: "You can recognize me, Harvey, you have made progress again."

Amberxiu doesn't look like the black hair and black eyes now, and the clothes on his body are exactly like a ranger. Harvey can recognize it, it must be that his prophecy ability has become stronger again, and it is definitely not Amberxiu's. There's something wrong with disguise.

Harvey was very happy. He sat next to Amberxiu and asked, "Teacher, why are you here? Have all the troubles in the Alchemy City been solved?"

Amberxiu nodded.

 “Everything has been settled, so I have some free time, so I came to the desert for a walk.”

"That's great." Harvey drew a picture with his fingers, opened a small space pocket, and took out a small silver-white box from it and handed it to Amber Xiu.

“Teacher, the phylactery is intact and has been returned to its original owner.”

　　The last time we were separated, Harvey took Amberxiu's phylactery away with him. At that time, he said he would come to the desert, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon.

Amberxiu said in surprise: "It seems that your progress is greater than I thought."

  Directly using magic to create space pockets is not something ordinary mages can do. Harvey was just a mage apprentice not long ago, and the speed of his progress is too amazing.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not impossible.

 Harvey is extremely talented, otherwise it would be impossible for him to become a prophecy mage by reading books and thinking blindly. When working for Amber Xiu, he read and took notes every day, and with Amber Xiu's guidance, these supplements supplemented his foundation.

 With complete basic knowledge and outstanding talent, you will make amazing progress after a little practice.

Many legendary mages have had this experience. In just one or two months, it's like they have changed into a different person, and then they have made rapid progress and reached the legendary realm.

Amber began to cherish her talents and regained control of the power of prophecy. Now it is more than enough to be a teacher for Harvey. It would also be good if she really taught him a legend.

"Harvey, do you want to come back with me? I can officially accept you as a disciple."

 Although Mr. Harvey calls Amber Xiu teacherly, in fact, the two of them are not really masters and disciples. The true master-disciple relationship is as close as father and son. Amber Xiu has only had few disciples in his life, and those who had previously passed away due to various accidents.

Hearing what Ambrose said, Harvey was surprised at first, but then quickly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Amberxiu frowned and asked, "Did you... see your own death?"
