This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 151 But Lies Are OK (Additional Update from Alliance Leader)

 Prophecy cannot be changed, but if it is a false prophecy, there may not be no chance of change.

　　Just like the original Alchemy City, it forged a prophecy to make everyone think that the sewers held the secret to becoming a god. This caused many adventurers to commit suicide and turned it into the nourishment for people to grow into gods.

 In the end, Amberxiu deciphered this prophecy and obtained the real future.

The prophecies forged by Alchemy City will naturally not have the unchangeable nature of fate, so theoretically speaking, if Harvey sees a future forged by others, he may survive.

Catherine understood it this time, but couldn't help but ask: "How can you prove this? What if no one forged it at all?"

Who would frame an unknown prophecy mage? Others don’t know when he will predict the future.

Amberxiu crossed his fingers and placed them on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "The person who forged the prophecy can only be me. This is the only way to save him."

 “I can’t understand again,” complained Catherine.

　　She used to think that she was quite smart. After all, she was a genius in the second level of advancement. The teachers who taught her magic all said that Catherine was the smartest student they had ever taught.

 But after getting to know Amber Xiu, she discovered that this lich's mind was different from everyone she had seen before.

But since he said that, he must have thought of a way.

"All the power of destiny controlled by the prophecy mage cannot ultimately change his own destiny. This is the basic law of the prophecy school and cannot be changed. Accepting fate is the source of the power of destiny. If you want to change your destiny in your heart, you All power will fail.

 Catherine listened carefully and couldn't help but ask: "Then how can we prove that the prophecy is false?"

"Observing fate is to kill the possibility of fate and reduce it to only one result. This result must not be changed, whether it is seen by others or seen by yourself. There are never two contradictory prophecies , unless one of them is false."

"So, I have been thinking about a question, whether prophecies are really unchangeable, and whether fate is really so ruthless. I once thought about using prophecies to fight prophecies. In particular, whether the ability to weave fate can cover the problems that have already occurred. prophecy?

Amberxiu smiled and said: "It's very simple. Those who make forgeries naturally know whether the prophecy is true or false. If the prophecy that Harvey saw is a false prophecy written by me, doesn't that prove that the prophecy is false?"

 Catherine's eyes widened, surprised at Ambrose's boldness.

Amberxiu nodded and said, "Yes, that's pretty much the principle. This is the only way to save Harvey without violating the rules."

Catherine began to get excited. As expected, she couldn't gain knowledge by staying at home. It was a wise choice to practice with this witch.

"If you can succeed, wouldn't you completely avoid the side effects of the prophecy? If you encounter a problem, just go back to the past and modify your prophecy." Catherine asked excitedly.

He found a cure for the elves' helpless addiction in just a few days. He easily cracked and controlled the elves' wheel of fortune magic circle, and the elders were unable to resist.

"But, didn't you just hear about this? How is it possible..." Catherine seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "You want to go back to the past, fabricate this false prophecy for him, and complete the logic of this fate?"

 Going back to the past, this was no longer something that could be done with magic, but needed to borrow the power of the gods.

Can I witness history myself? Do you really see your destiny being changed?

If you can constantly correct your destiny in this way, what is the difference between it and the gods?

Amberxiu smiled bitterly and said: "It's impossible. When I thought of this method, I could no longer be saved by this method.

This knowledge related to fate is so profound that he knows every word but cannot understand it when connected together, but this lich is studying how to change the fate of a mortal person.

“I did a test. I predicted the death of a mouse, and then wanted to use Destiny Weaving to write a different future. As a result, I failed, and the ability of Destiny Weaving could not take effect.

Amberxiu didn't feel much excitement, and said to Catherine as if complaining: "Do you know what is the saddest thing about a prophecy mage? It is foreseeing one's own death, knowing that this future cannot be changed, and the feeling of waiting for death is very uncomfortable. , will drive most people crazy.”

“The goddess of destiny is a very idealistic deity. The most basic law of destiny is that you cannot change it once you know it.

"If I want to go back in time to influence my prediction, there will only be two results. One is that no matter how hard I try, there will be accidents in the process of going back to the past, and then the modification will fail. The second is that after I go back to the past, everything The power of destiny will disappear, and there is no way to forge a prophecy for myself.

“If you know it, you can’t change it. If you see it, the future possibilities will be reduced to one. This is an absolute rule.

"So I didn't tell Harvey about this method. He didn't know that there was this method, and there would still be a chance for him to change in the future. Once he heard about it or thought of this method, his future would also wipe out this possibility. Except. Even if I want to go back to the past to save him, I will be blocked by countless accidents." Catherine was extremely shocked and asked, "In other words, you can't even tell other prophecy mages about this method, because everyone who hears this method. All the prophecy mages have lost the chance of being saved.”

Amberxiu nodded and said: "Yes, after I thought of this method, all my futures were blocked from the possibility of being saved by this method. I once thought about writing this method into a paper and publishing it, but then I gave up, at least To leave a little hope for future generations, if I tell everyone this method in advance, it will be equivalent to turning this only solution into no solution."

Catherine never expected that Amber Xiu would have such a sentimental side, and couldn't help but say: "Is it possible that there was once a prophecy mage who thought of this method? The reason why it has not been passed down is because he thought the same as you. Anyway, There will be a genius who thinks of this way to save others, and he happens to meet the person he wants to save. It is really a dramatic story, and it should become a classic if it is written as a poem."

Catherine has already imagined many lamentable tragedies. The school of prophecy has such a long history. If you just dig up some information, you might be able to create many classics.

Amberxiu smiled and said, "I'm not as sentimental as you. I just don't want to hurt others and not benefit myself. If they set a higher standard for the manuscript fee of the prophecy school, I might submit it. You don't know, because the prophecy school is too It’s so unpopular that “Legendary Curse” sets the lowest price for this type of paper, and the royalties are not even enough to feed the dogs.”

 Catherine is not very convinced. She feels that the lich Amberxiu is quite humble sometimes.

“So, are you sure you can save people now?” Catherine asked.

Amberxiu explained: "Theory is theory, practice is practice. I haven't tried it yet. There are too many uncertainties. There is also a key question. How much do I have to pay if I want to reverse time and space and go back to the past?" The price? Is it worth it for Harvey?”

This is not a joke. No matter how much he appreciates Harvey's talent, Amberxiu must do what he can.

 Going back to the past is already within the power of the gods. I have never heard of any legend who can do it.

And if you want to get help from the gods, the price you have to pay must be very huge. If the cost is too high, Amberxiu will really give up. Then you can only blame the goddess of fate for being so cruel that she doesn't give her a chance.

"Back in the past...I've heard of this. During the time of the Dragon Tyrant, the Dragon Clan had an artifact that could reverse time and space, so they could always rule the world. Later, the founding emperor of the Lion Empire managed to steal this artifact, and they succeeded. Overthrown the rule of the dragon."

Amberxiu had also heard of the history that Catherine was talking about, but he said: "Isn't this unofficial history? I have read many books mentioning this artifact. Some say it can reverse time and space, some say it can be resurrected infinitely, and some say it can reverse time and space. It is said that this artifact can kill any giant dragon instantly...but it is all far-fetched and has no proof. "

When Amberxiu traveled through time, Lane had already been a country for a long time, and many records about the Dragon Age were only "rumors." Perhaps only the Lane Empire had the most detailed records.

Catherine said confidently: "What I'm talking about is definitely not fabricated wild history. You may not know that the last king of the elves was a friend of Arthur Lane. They spent their youth together and lived and died together. Adventure partners. We, the elves, have a strong say in the information about this founding emperor.”

 “Really or not?!” Amberxiu said in surprise.

Catherine said proudly: "Of course it's true. Our elves have a very long lifespan. The records of history by the immortal race must be more accurate than those of other short-lived races."

Amberxiu really didn’t expect to meet a historical figure, but the elves generally live long lives. Even if the old king is bragging, he is still a person who has lived from that era to the present, so what he said should be somewhat credible.

“Then does he know where this artifact is?” Amberxiu asked.

"I can ask for you, but I'm not sure if he can provide clues. If not, what are you going to do?"

Catherine was very interested in this story of reversing time and space to save people, and hoped to see a perfect ending, so she looked at Amberxiu with expectant eyes.

Amber Xiu didn't even understand what this little girl was excited about. She was not a prophecy mage, so whether she succeeded or not had nothing to do with her. However, in Catherine's expectant eyes, Amberxiu still explained: "If I can't find this artifact, I will try my luck with the gods. It just so happens that I know several gods."

"God? Are you asking the Lich God for help? But I heard that this **** is not keen on helping others." Catherine asked.

Amberxiu retorted: "What's the stereotype? I'm a lich, so I have to believe in the lich god?"

"Then which **** do you want to find? You are not your believer, and most gods don't bother to care. If you, a lich, don't go to the lich god, how can you go to the Lord of the Dawn? Don't expect me to help you beg the elves. Gods, I am now a sinner of the elves, and not being punished is the best outcome.”

Catherine didn't refuse, it was because she really couldn't help. Although she was favored by the elves and gods, this time it was really wrong. She hadn't heard the voices of the gods for a long time.

Amber Xiu said: "I didn't plan to ask you to help contact the elves and gods. I forgot to tell you that the God of Alchemy is my teacher."

 Catherine was stunned for a moment, then screamed: "What did you just say?!"
