This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 184: No one’s background is clean

Chapter 184 No one’s background is clean

Amberxiu's transformation technique is very skillful. Not only does his appearance look exactly the same, but his voice is exactly the same.

 But playing a stranger requires time to practice after all. Amberxiu became anxious and forgot the basic character of Mengg Gray River.

Because the Kingdom of Raging Tide is poor and remote, it does not have many talents. The high-level magic scrolls needed by Mengg Gray River to go to sea must be prepared by these court magicians.

  After clearly fighting a battle with the Silent Night Pirates and losing so miserably, it was indeed very illogical to suddenly say that they were using a trick to lure the leader of this pirate group to come alone.

Although these three court magicians are just workers, this war is likely to involve them. Listen to the noise outside, is that something that ordinary legends can do? This combat power has exceeded expectations, and Meng Huihe is still speaking vaguely. Who can feel at ease?

If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be dangerous for them to participate in the war?

The court mage said to Amberxiu very seriously: "I need an explanation. If not, please forgive me for not participating in this war."

Amber was trying to recall the identity of this person, and it took her a few seconds to remember.

"Master Sharok, you ask me why I don't disclose the details? I would like to ask you why you care so much about the details. The fact is that my plan was successful, but now that time is urgent, you are stalling here. Why is that? ?”

Shalock frowned. The Meng Huihe in front of him seemed to have changed. Why did these words turn the blame on him?

Sharlock said excitedly: "What are you talking about? I am the court mage of the Kingdom of Rage, and everything I do is for the kingdom."

Paralysis agents are generally used for hunting whales. Injecting this agent into a hollow special whaling harpoon can quickly paralyze the whales and then suffocate them to death. But the potion is very expensive, and if you miss it more than three times, you will lose money.

The Kingdom of Rage is too short of such talents. It’s not that they can’t afford alchemists, but they don’t have such meticulous talents who can analyze problems from these clues.

Just as he was about to calm down, another court mage stood up again.

But if paralysis drugs are not used, this deep-sea whale can capsize most fishing boats, or drag the fishing boats all the way out of the channel, putting everyone on the boat in danger.

As for the corruption agent, as long as it is diluted in a certain proportion, it is particularly effective in cleaning up the barnacles on the bottom of the ship. This kind of thing is extremely harmful to the hull, but if it is dug hard, it will also damage the bottom of the ship. If a mutated species is encountered, highly toxic juice will be sprayed out during cleaning, which can cause severe illness for several months at worst, or death on the spot in worst cases.

Seeing Amber Xiu's confident look, Shalok dared to let him visit his magic tower.

Monge Gray River originally didn’t understand alchemy, but Amber Xiu did. Amberxiu was most sensitive to things, of course, things related to money, so he was particularly interested in the memory fragment of Monge Gray River privately spending money to buy paralysis potion. At that time, he wanted to complain that the Rage Kingdom had been cheated.

 I didn’t expect this memory to be useful.

Shalock's face suddenly turned red and he could only say loudly: "What...are you talking nonsense? Do you know alchemy or do I know alchemy?!"

These two items alone represent a large amount of public expenditure.

"Why did the topic turn to other things? Your Majesty, we are worried about the details of this so-called plan. If there is any accident, it will have a bad impact on the kingdom."

I don’t know when Meng Huihe started to doubt himself. Didn’t he cooperate well before? As a result, his face suddenly changed. As expected, these people who play politics have dirty hearts. The smiling faces before were definitely all fake.

Amberxiu was startled by the king's words, wondering if he was pretending too much.

 Therefore, this corruption potion is needed to kill these barnacles and let them fall off naturally. It is also a potion that the kingdom needs daily.

Amber Xiu sneered and asked: "Last year, you requested a variety of alchemy materials from the kingdom, including little devil fungus, Namira rot fungus, Amanita muscaria, bubble grass, etc., which added up to nearly thirty tons. Even if Even an alchemy apprentice can use these materials to refine more than 5,000 bottles of paralysis potions and corruption potions, but what is the output you gave to the kingdom? 1,400 bottles, of which 200 are mine. I paid for it and ordered it from you.”

Which alchemist doesn’t cheat Party A? If you don't dig up some materials yourself, is that still an alchemist? It's just that I thought that few people in the Kingdom of Rage knew alchemy, so I was a bit too harsh.

“Master Sharok, if you want details, why don’t we do the math today? Let’s go to your magic tower first and let me see how you refine the potion. How about that?”

Shalock did not dare to express his opinion anymore, but King Angry Tide showed a surprised expression and said to Amberxiu: "Mengge, you seem to be a different person, very good, I saw you right."

Amber Xiu chuckled and said, "I originally didn't understand alchemy, but the kingdom's various magic equipment and potions are too expensive and the output is too low, so I occasionally ask outsiders for relevant information. Although the elves have significantly increased the price of magic materials before, even if the transportation costs are added, I still can't understand the calculation.

King Angry Tide was also surprised and asked Amberxiu: "Mengge, when did you learn alchemy?"

Amberxiu looked at the man and recalled another name: "Master Weinstein, it's still the same reason, it's still the same excuse. You say you're good for the kingdom, but are you really thinking about the kingdom in your heart? "

Winston said disdainfully: "Why, did you find any fault with me again? Could it be that the magic scroll I copied for you is defective, and which one cannot be used?"

 Winston is a mage, and his daily job is to provide magic scrolls to the kingdom. The mage used his own magic power to copy the scrolls. This cannot be accused of embezzling public funds.

However, being a mage is Amber Xiu’s job. It’s not easy to find problems.

Amberxiu recalled the memories related to Winston, and then said: "Of course there is nothing wrong with the magic scroll copied by Master Winston, but you asked the kingdom for a lot of talented children, saying that you wanted to train them to become mages. Apprentices, these apprentices disappeared one by one over the years. You said they died in magic experiments, but the accident of this magic experiment was too high."

Winston had no guilt at all and said matter-of-factly: "Magical experiments are of course dangerous. I didn't give a corresponding report that time. Do you think I killed them? What does this mean to me?"

“Yes, a mage from the School of Protection, why are his magic experiments so dangerous?”

Amberxiu looked at Winston carefully, because at this time he had not found the real reason, but his intuition told him that the death of these magic apprentices was closely related to Winston.

Winston felt very frightened when he saw Ambrose. He had the same idea as Sharlock now. The man in front of him seemed to have changed.

Amberxiu looked at it for a long time, and then saw something familiar on Winston.

Amberxiu said in a serious tone: "Master Winston, you are not a mage of the protection school at all. You are actually a necromancer. Am I right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two court mages couldn't help but take two steps back, away from Winston.

Winston's face changed drastically and he said excitedly: "What nonsense are you talking about?! You are slandering and slandering!"

 No wonder he was so excited. Although the necromancy school is also one of the well-known schools of mages, its reputation is really not very good, and it is even more despised than the undead.

 It's very simple. There is a racial conflict between the living and the undead, but if a living person stands in the shoes of the undead...do you think this person will be hated even more?

Necromancers are different from the undead. They are alive and cannot generate dark magic by themselves, so they need to constantly kill living creatures to refine this power. The undead can lie there for decades doing nothing, but if a necromancer does not kill for a period of time, his magic power will regress.

Of course, some necromancers choose to be corpse collectors who do not actively kill. They will spend money to buy fresh corpses as experimental materials. It's just that the proportion of such necromancers is very low. After all, killing people is easy, but buying corpses is expensive, troublesome, and unstable.

Even if the Kingdom of Rage is not Lion, concealing the identity of the Necromancer is still a very serious problem.

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Winston said excitedly: "What evidence do you have?! If you can't show it, I will fight for my honor and challenge you to a duel!" "

Amberxiu said confidently: "What are you excited about? Does the Necromancer still need to prove it? People who have been exposed to dark magic for many years cannot hide many things. Your pupils have turned gray, and your body You think it’s enough to cover up the putrid smell? The gaps between your nails are soaked with blood, and you can’t even cover it up with nail polish... There are so many disguises, but they all mean nothing.”

Winston's face turned pale, and these details were all explained by Ambrose.

But he continued to quibble and said: "These are just your own fantasies. My eyes are originally gray, and other so-called disguises are just speculation without any evidence at all! I can open the Mage Tower for you to check, let me see What can you find out!"

He has covered up all traces of the Mage Tower very well, and he does not want to believe that the other party can find any clues.

 But Amberxiu didn’t think about it at all, and just said to Winston: “Why is it necessary to go to such trouble? If you are still unconvinced, you can just cast a blight spell on me now.

"Blight is a four-ring necromancy spell. Mages from other schools can also cast it. However, when a necromancer casts it, the color of Blight is completely different and the power will be much stronger. If you have the ability, just use all the magic attributes. I have changed."

Amberxiu looked at Winston with disdain. The necromancer pretending to be innocent with a lich was like playing with a beaker in front of the God of Alchemy, without any self-awareness at all.

Winston's fists clenched. He never expected that Amber Xiu's words were to the point. Appearances can be disguised, but magic attributes cannot be faked, and blighting is the best way to see magic. Spells with different attributes. When did Meng Huihe become proficient in magic? Sure enough, it was all pretending before!

After Amberxiu finished scolding Winston, he looked at the last court mage and asked: "What about you, do you also want to ask about the details of the plan?"

The last person shook his head quickly. He was not clean at all, and he didn't want to be exposed by Amber Xiu.

Seeing that the three court mages did not dare to speak anymore, Amberxiu said to the king again: "Your Majesty, there is no time, we must act immediately."

The king's eyes were full of admiration. He was indeed the pillar of the country. It turned out that there was another prime minister in the Kingdom of Rage. He had really underestimated him before.

The king walked up to Amberxiu, patted him on the shoulder forcefully and said, "Okay, evacuate the nearby people immediately, and then let the Raging Tide Legion start preparing. Meng, everyone will listen to your arrangements."
