This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 168 A special way of traveling

I really don’t blame Amber Xiu for saying so. After all, as a lich, he has to do evil things occasionally to keep his true intentions. Otherwise, if he is kowtowed and worshiped by the paladin every day, he is not considered an undead. What will other undead friends think of him?

Even if the average undead takes out other people's souls, it is difficult to read the memory perfectly.

 The soul is fragile. Control and struggle. If the two forces collide with each other, the soul will be damaged. This is why most undead are stupid and weak-minded.

 Only those who are willing to become undead can maintain most of their sanity.

But Amberxiu is different. With his ability to fabricate souls, he can fabricate a soul out of hand. After studying it for many years, his understanding of souls far exceeds that of the world.

This goblin's soul was drawn into threads by Amber Xiu, and the memory is on these soul threads, without missing a single bit.

"Let me see, hunting, eating, sleeping, eating, eating, eating... you are a waste of money! Ah, this part, what a miserable bard... isn't it, even the tree holes are spared..."

Amberxiu read the memory of the goblin bit by bit. Most of it was boring and meaningless eating, drinking, and eating, and the rest was some extremely heavy-mouthed and disgusting content.

 The thread of the soul was broken and shattered in Amber Xiu's hands, turning into starlight and scattered. After spending a lot of time skimming through the meaningless things, Amberxiu finally found what he needed from the goblin's soul, but this information made him quite embarrassed.

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "No, no, my original plan was to go to the west coast together first and take out the artifacts hidden by the elves. But I didn't expect the Druids to be in such a tense situation now. Now my plan has changed."

Catherine stared at Amberjack with suspicion.

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I have always... always dealt with money in a reasonable way. I have always followed the agreed rules. Don't spread rumors. I have never cheated anyone." An Bai Xiu defended himself for a few words seriously, and then continued regardless of Catherine's contemptuous eyes: "I mean, the druids are very nervous now. They are afraid that Ryan will do something to them, so your appearance is a big surprise to them." Very important."

"Why else? It's because of Ryan's mess. The Kingdom of Gold has been completely defeated and has withdrawn from half of the desert. Emerald Dream Forest is afraid that Ryan will fight with them, so it started preparing for the war a long time ago. Just half a year ago After completing the ceremony, the dream barrier enveloped the Emerald Dream Forest, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.

 Because of the blessings of the elves and gods, elves have absolute free will. Their spirits will not be affected by drugs and spells, and things like sleepy black tea are completely ineffective on them.

Each kingdom has its own specialty, and the Emerald Dream Forest is named after the Emerald Dream. Just like the City of Auroville is a restricted area for the undead, even the legendary undead will end up being purified.

Catherine retorted: "Me? I only represent myself. I am no longer the Elf Queen, you know."

 “Why? Why doesn’t everything go smoothly wherever we go?” Catherine complained.

 Catherine appeared next to Amberxiu and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Can't find a suitable way?"

This kind of barrier created by integrating all the power of the entire kingdom cannot be resisted by individuals. Weak gods will also suffer big losses when they come.

“You mean, let me take you through this dream barrier?”

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "No, you underestimate the ability of these druids. The effect of the dream enchantment is that no matter whether you need to sleep or not, if an outside insect enters the dream enchantment, it will fall into a deep sleep." , even if this bug only lives for one day and won’t sleep at all.”

 “You want to steal the druid’s money again?!”

Amberson wished he could kill Ryan right now. This group of religious lunatics were causing trouble every day, making the nearby neighbors tremble.

Catherine is a little eager to try it. The last time she went to act alone with a group of paladins, although it was very nervous, it was also very exciting. She now feels that she is a mature adventurer and can try to act alone.

Catherine retorted: "It's the same for you, the dead don't have to sleep."

"There is a road, and it's not far from the west coast. But the problem is that we need to pass through several druid tribes in Emerald Dream Forest, and the Druids of Emerald Dream Forest have just made a decision to use the Dream Knot to The world covers most of the Green Dream Forest. Once an outsider approaches, they will fall into eternal sleep."

That is, if the elves and gods are strong enough, their blessings can withstand the dream barrier.

This otaku elf has come to her senses now. The last time she tricked the paladin, she almost ruined the reputation of the elves. But if Amber Xiu hadn't come back, she would have really become a partner with the undead to trick people. Liar.

“These goblins were also expelled by these two enchantments. Emerald Dream Forest is now in a state of war, so many tribes that are usually disobedient have been expelled.”

But Amberxiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Catherine: "No, I can't go, but you can. The elves will not be affected!"

"No, you don't understand what I mean. The elves are in a weak state now. Who is your biggest opponent? Is it the dwarves? Your real threat is your allies, those people who shout Holy Light, Justice, etc. A religious madman who can kill people. This is a very good opportunity for the elves to strengthen their ties with the druids of Emerald Dream Forest."

Amberxiu said seriously: "I didn't ask you to lie to them, but to have a formal meeting with the Druid to talk about what the two countries can cooperate with for mutual benefit. Although the distance between your two countries is It’s very far, but if you spend some money, it’s not impossible to build an ultra-long-distance national teleportation array, and then we can take care of each other.”

“Isn’t our goal an artifact? Why are you suddenly asking me to talk to Druid about cooperation between the two countries?”

Catherine stared at Ambrose, as if she wanted to read his thoughts.

Amberxiu explained: "Because the Druid is in a special situation now, I changed my plan. Think about it, they are full of uneasiness now. If you come to visit on behalf of the elves, they will definitely welcome you. If this talks well, Isn’t it the best opportunity for Naomi to secretly learn some Druid skills?”

If you want to save Harvey, you need the help of the Time Dragon to go back to the past, so you want Naomi to transform into a Time Dragon. There are two conditions for transforming into a Time Dragon. The first is that Naomi's own Druid ability is enough to transform into a Time Dragon. As a dragon, the second one is the artifact of time.

Amberxiu originally planned to work together to obtain the artifact and gain some benefits from the Druid, but now he feels that it is more efficient to split the forces into two groups. After all, Naomi does not know how long it will take to master the power of transforming into a dragon. Catherine visited in a public capacity, and then asked Naomi to pretend to be Catherine's pet and exchange experiences with the legendary druids about the wild form. This would definitely be better than learning secretly.

 But this way, it would be difficult for Amberxiu to follow Catherine. No matter how disguised he is, Amberxiu, the undead, is incompatible with the natural environment and cannot deceive the druid with strong senses.

 So, in order to avoid trouble, it is better to work separately.

Amberxiu analyzed it carefully for Catherine, and Catherine finally understood what he meant. There is no need for her to lie to others this time, she just needs to visit the Emerald Dream Forest in the most normal way.

Although doing this is not that thrilling, Catherine doesn’t want to trick anyone anymore. After all, most druids have a good relationship with the elves.

“But how are you going to get through this dreamy realm by yourself?” Catherine asked.

Amberxiu does not have the ability to resist the enchantment. Once he enters the enchantment, he will fall asleep.

 “I’ll take a detour.”

 Amberson chose the simplest method.

 “Won’t it be a waste of time? How long will the detour take?” Catherine asked in surprise.

Amberxiu said: "If I take you with me, it will take seven or eight days, but if I am the only one, it will only take one day."

"How is this possible? Do you think I will hold you back?" Catherine said unconvinced.

She is also a legendary mage. Although she is from the transformation system, she can also fly and fly. This is the only way a mage can get on the road. What else can a prophecy mage like Amber Xiu do?

"I can't explain it to you. Some methods can only be used by the undead."

Catherine wanted to get to the bottom of it, but as a worker, Amberxiu didn't want to say that she had no choice but to obediently take Naomi to the nearest Druid tribe.

Amberxiu drew a map for the two of them and pointed out the specific direction. He believed that with Catherine's ability, she would not get lost in the forest.

 After sending these two away, Amberxiu got directly into his private space, and then adjusted the flow of time to the fastest speed.

Amberxiu dug out a large pile of metal materials from the laboratory. These are special metals that have been transformed into corpse properties. Originally, An Boxiu planned to let Dahei and Erha test his body before changing his body, but these two guys probably didn't know where to go to stall for time, and An Boxiu didn't have time to catch them back.

It doesn't matter whether he can withstand the Holy Light now, what Amberxiu needs now is strength.

A piece of silver-white metal fittings was taken out by Amber Xiu. These were not ordinary silver, but very expensive mithril. Mithril is strong but much lighter than steel, making it the best armor material. The output is small and very expensive.

But the problem is not big, Apoptotic Rose is the largest mine owner, and he can buy things like mithril at the best price.

 Mithril is combined with some special alloys, and with the magic power furnace carefully manufactured by Amber Xiu, a perfect mechanical body is completed by Amber Xiu.

 The fire of the soul separated from the original skeletal body and merged into the mithril machine.

A few seconds later, the magic power furnace in his chest lit up, and Amberxiu came back to life.

Clenched his fists and walked a few more steps, Amberxiu said in surprise: "After loading the power furnace, the strength of the mechanical body is indeed much stronger than the skeleton."

And there was another discovery that surprised Amboxiu, that is, after he gained the power of the legendary ranger, he had very strong control over his body. He had completely mastered his new body after just a few minutes of activity. He didn't need to do anything like Daikoku spent hundreds of hours practicing like that.

 “It’s better than I imagined, it will save more time.”

Amberxiu, who had replaced his mechanical body, walked out of his private space, and a huge magic cannon came out with him.

Amberxiu calculated the direction a little, pointed the muzzle at the sky, then opened the barrel and got into a special cannonball.

 Special cannonballs also made of mithril allow him to hide in them and then use the power of the magic cannon to shoot out the cannonballs.

The flying technique can only reach sixty or seventy kilometers per hour at most, but the magic cannon he modified can accelerate the cannonball to a speed of more than a thousand kilometers per hour. If the feather falling technique is added to the cannonball itself to reduce its weight, the speed will be Even more terrifying.

Of course, this is a theoretical value, and Amberxiu has not tested it.

Today is the perfect time to try it.

 “This can be regarded as my dedication to science.”

Amboxiu entered the cannonball, and then used magic power to activate the magic cannon.

After more than ten seconds of charging, the magic cannon made a loud noise, and the mithril-made cannon shot across the sky, leaving a white turbulence.
