This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 181 Finding the Artifact

Ariel left with a smile on her face, apparently heading straight to the palace.

Amberxiu didn’t waste any time. After dispersing everyone, he dug directly in place.

　　Three days are probably not enough. The silly princess might come to her senses in half a day, and then lead the angry tide army to kill him.

 So, time waits for no one, so we must take action now.

 The advantage of the mage is reflected at this time. There is nothing more convenient than magic for digging holes.

As Amber Xiu's magic power circulated, a deep crack opened directly in the ground, as if it was drilled by an invisible drill, and a bottomless hole quickly appeared.

Amberxiu jumped directly inside and took the time to dig down.

I don’t know if he can find the artifact he needs before the princess reacts.

As for Ariel, she really thought that "Monge Gray River" had changed his temperament and became her confidant. For this like-minded friendship, Ariel went directly to the palace.

Ariel simply threw her hammer on the dining table, and then said to the king: "I knew that this day would finally come. Father, since none of us can convince anyone, let's use the most traditional method of the Kingdom of Rage to solve the problem. Bar."

A country like the Kingdom of Rage that advocates violence and destruction often has no way to reason and can only use fists to convince the other party.

Ariel quickly said: "Of course not... No, I really didn't force him, really."

Ariel couldn't bear the grievance and said excitedly: "Father, if you don't believe it, then come with me to find him and ask him personally."

"This..." Ariel tried hard to explain: "Although I did do something to him...but...it's not what you think, father. He really did it voluntarily."

The king looked at the electric hammer and asked in a deep voice: "You want to challenge me to a duel before the gods?!"

The king was still eating when Ariel rushed in unannounced, covered in dust and almost making the food on the table inedible.

The sparks and lightning along the way also brought up a trail of smoke and dust.

 Father and daughter both have hot tempers, and after this quarrel, they both couldn't control their tempers.

The king wiped the dust off his face and asked, "What's going on in a panic?"

"How do I ask, in front of you, and then wait for you to beat him up tomorrow? Don't I understand your character yet, Ariel, you can only use your fists to reason, just like me! "

The king rolled his eyes and comforted his daughter and said, "Okay, okay, I know everything. He wasn't beaten to death by you, was he?"

Ariel's face became embarrassed, and she could only explain: "I told him to duel with me, but he didn't agree. That's not the case, I didn't force him, it was his own free will."

The king glanced at Ariel, and then said seriously: "Did you go to him for a duel?!"

"You dare to say you didn't do it? Do you dare to swear to the gods that you didn't lift the hammer against him?!"

The king waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, just tell me how badly he was injured? Has he been sent for treatment?"

Ariel said excitedly: "Father, I, Monge Gray River, told me that he has a way to contact the Silent Night Pirates, and we can make peace and avoid a war."

Duel in front of the gods is considered to be the most advanced way to "resolve disputes". Both parties will duel in front of the statue of the Storm Lord. The winner will naturally be correct, and the loser must unconditionally admit that the other party is correct.

Ariel finally got angry and said loudly to her father: "Why don't you believe me?! He really did it voluntarily, I didn't force him!"

The king couldn't help it anymore and said in a very serious tone: "That's enough, Ariel, my tolerance has its limits. I order you not to use violence against him anymore. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson with my own hands."

The King of Rage is infinitely tolerant of this daughter, and the reason is very simple. Who makes this daughter the only legend? He gave birth to more than a dozen children, and he was the only one who could receive the blessing of the Lord of Storms.

 Dueling allows surrender, but in most cases it ends with the death of one of the parties.

“That’s right, you don’t believe anything I say anyway, so let the gods judge who is more correct!”

 Thunder light burst out from Ariel's eyes, and the powerful power caused free lightning to appear in the air.

This gesture, in other kingdoms, would be typical of patricide to seize the throne, but this is not the case in the Kingdom of Rage. It is tradition for the successor to challenge the previous king, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

 The king stood up. He was a head taller than Ariel and looked much stronger.

 The lightning that was originally like a gossamer in the air suddenly became agitated, and two different currents collided in the air, exploding countless sparks. The king lowered his head, looked down at his daughter, and then said to her: "Okay, you win, you are the new king, and you have the final say in everything in the kingdom from now on!"

 “I will definitely win!” Ariel said confidently.

The king sneered and said: "Haha, if bragging is useful, why do you need a hammer? Ariel, if you lose, you must obey my order and you are not allowed to disobey it."

Ariel promised fully: "You want me not to use violence against Monge Gray River, right? Okay, I promise you. If I lose, I promise not to touch a hair on his head."

 “No, I want you to marry him!” the king said very seriously.

 “Impossible! He is twenty years older than me!” Ariel refused without hesitation.

The king said seriously: "In the kingdom, which man of your age can be called a hero? Meng is already the best in the kingdom, otherwise would I let him take charge of such a great power? His age is A little older, but he just lost his wife a few years ago, so you want to marry him. Do you want to find a weak and incompetent husband? "

The talents of the Kingdom of Rage are inferior to each other. Men of Ariel's age are either stupid or stupid, weak or timid. This is precisely because there is something wrong with the country's governance method. The population has almost remained unchanged and the proportion of talents is getting lower and lower.

The old king only wanted to unite the best man and woman in the kingdom, hoping that they could give birth to a smarter and more powerful heir. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Rage did not know how many years it could last.

 It was impossible for Ariel to accept marrying an old man like Monge Gray River, but the king did not give her a chance to regret it.

"You initiated the duel before the gods. I paid for my position as king, and you have to pay a corresponding bet. It's just a marriage contract, which is already very cheap for you. Ariel, do you want to blaspheme the gods?!"

The king's words made Ariel grit her teeth, but she did not dare to take back her decision to duel. She could only say to the king: "I will definitely win!"

The king said proudly: "Haha, I have heard this countless times, but they are all defeated by my men."

The quarrel between father and daughter was paused in this more decisive way. A duel before a **** is a very sacred matter and requires time to prepare, not to mention a duel related to the succession of the kingdom, so the preparation time will be even longer.

The king has no intention to care about the Silent Night Pirates. Ariel's talent is extremely high, and he is not 100% sure that he can beat his daughter, so he needs to concentrate on preparing for the war.

Neither father nor daughter seemed to have thought about a problem. If they were both seriously injured after the duel, how would they respond when the undead of the Silent Night Pirates began to attack the country.

What they want now is to finish this duel quickly so that the long-standing dispute can come to a conclusion, and then the kingdom's power can be unified.

Originally, Ariel came to buy time for Amber Xiu, but she didn't expect that this happened accidentally. Now no one cares about what Mongo Gray River is doing.

Amberxiu drilled hard into the ground and estimated that he had drilled hundreds of meters deep, but the rocks and soil were still the same, and there was no trace of the artifact at all.

Standing deep underground, Amberxiu touched his chin.

“This is not right, what is the hint of fate? Is my understanding wrong again?”

 Fate will not give the wrong answer, it can only be that you do not understand it well.

The dead leaves resting on the head of Monge Gray River are not a reminder to this person that he knows where the artifact is, nor is it a reminder of where he is standing. So what exactly is it?

Amberson had to dig out all the information he had obtained before.

 First of all, the elves buried the artifact 1,700 years ago to prevent the dragon tyrant from going back in time so that he could be defeated by Arthur Lane. And this artifact can be used by no one except the Dragon Tyrant, so when the elves buried the artifact, they never thought about letting anyone find it.

"Artifacts generally have powerful power. The legendary level can already sense the existence of divine power, so it must be sealed with magic. And if you want to maintain this seventeen hundred years, it is not an ordinary sealing spell, but a certain Magical equipment that can seal for a long time..."

Amberxiu began to assume the role of the elves and tried to deduce the possible location of this artifact. Traces of the magic that the elves are good at should be able to be found.

But Amber Xiu sensed it carefully and still couldn't find any clues.

"No, no, according to Catherine, the previous Elf King was not good at magic, so the means of sealing the artifact was most likely not provided by the elves... It was Arthur Lane, who stole the artifact from the Dragon Tyrant. When he came out, he asked the elves to help hide this artifact.

"He can steal it, which means he can block the connection between the dragon tyrant and the artifact. This is not the method of the elves, but the method of the paladin. No, it should be said to be the power of the Holy Light of the Lord of the Morning. I probably think Understood."

Amber Xiu knew that he had made a mistake from the beginning. The dead leaves did indicate to him the location where the artifact was buried, but it did not point to the underground.

Amberxiu used the flying technique to return to the cave entrance, looked at the empty air, estimated the height of the dead leaves falling at that time, and then turned his perception into silk threads to entangle them.

After a while, Amberxiu finally found a strange feeling.

In the air, there is a small, invisible gap. Only when you use all your strength to sense it can you detect a slight abnormality. It is a space crack smaller than a hair.
