This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 194 The forgetfulness brought by time

Amberxiu just wanted to find an excuse to hang out with the druids to avoid the dark power coming towards him. Who would have thought that he would be related to Sares just by casually saying the name in his memory.

Sarace stared at Amberxiu and asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

It’s not surprising that Sares was surprised. This grandmother Alina Sanda passed away three hundred years ago. If it weren’t for the elders from the same family tree who had contributed to the tribe, Sares might not be able to remember her name. .

This son of the storm came to inquire about a druid who had been dead for more than three hundred years in the middle of the night. Everything seemed wrong.

Amberxiu could only reply: "One of my elders once mentioned this name. He lived for many years, and his memory has long been blurred. There were not many names that he could remember before he died. Alina Sanda It’s one of them, so I took this opportunity to inquire about it.”

This is at least half true. Amber Xiu has met too many people, but in the end, few can remember their names. Under the wear and tear of time, many people can only leave a vague impression. Become dust in the corner of memory.

 “You choose to ask this in the middle of the night?” Sares looked unbelieving.

"I am an envoy representing the kingdom during the day, and this is a private matter. I can only inquire about it at night. You have to distinguish between public and private affairs. Of course, I am really sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night. I will give you a small gift as an apology."

 Amberson took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Sares.

In Sares’s memory, Alina Sanda was once the chief elder of the tribe, and seemed to be just a hair away from becoming a member of the parliament. When this grandma was in power, the tribe had conflicts with goblins. She once turned into an owlbear and beat dozens of bugbears into meat paste, scaring the goblins into fleeing in panic.

 Looking at these rare seeds, Sares finally looked better and said to Amberxiu: "What do you want to ask?"

Sarace originally wanted to refuse, as property was of little significance to druids, and there was not much gold in the entire Emerald Dream Forest. Druids are basically self-sufficient, and Emerald Dream Forest can provide all their daily needs. Occasionally there are things that need to be traded, and most of them are barter.

It is precisely because of this achievement that Alina Sanda is very famous in the tribe, and even after more than three hundred years, people still remember her name.

Sarace is indeed very interested. Most druids like to collect different animals and plants, so the Druid tribe is like an original zoo. The Kingdom of Raging Tides is an island environment, and many plants are different from those in Emerald Dream Forest. Although these seeds are not valuable, they are more useful than gold.

 But after taking the cloth bag, Sares discovered that it was not filled with hard gold coins.

 The Druid's natural spells are quite convenient.

Amberxiu said: "These are the seeds of some native plants in our kingdom. I believe you druids will be very interested."

This is not because the Druids are socially backward, but because they do not need to "buy" food, clothing, housing and transportation.

 There is a lack of pricing for this basic material, and Emerald Dream Forest is relatively closed and rarely communicates with the outside world, so the value of gold is a bit "unstable" for druids.

As for life, Emerald Dream Forest is a druid's paradise. If you don't have to worry about food and drink, it will naturally be good.

Sares closed the door of his house and pointed outside the door. A bunch of vines grew automatically and turned into tables and chairs.

Sarace's last words surprised Amberxiu, and he quickly asked: "You will never get married for the rest of your life? Why is that?"

 The two of them sat down, and Amberxiu asked, "Alina... uh, how is this old man doing in the Emerald Forest?"

 Things that are of no use are naturally not attractive to druids.

Saares still stared at Amberxiu with strange eyes. This shouldn't be a question asked by his juniors. But this is not a secret, so Sares said to Amber Xiu: "It's been too long, and I don't know the details very well. My grandma is quite famous in the tribe, otherwise I wouldn't remember this." name."

“It’s a pity that this grandma never got married in her life.”

 Before setting off, Amberxiu asked the Kingdom of Rage to prepare many such small things.

 “How about we find a place to sit down and chat?” Amberxiu suggested.

Although the dark power has disappeared, it is still safer to chat with the Druid all night long.

 When I opened it, I saw many seeds of different shapes.

"Who knows, there was a great druid who proposed to her, but she rejected them all. Many people speculated that she probably met someone she liked when she was adventuring outside. Some people said that she actually didn't like men. , the female friend who often follows her is actually her lover, but it’s been so long ago that no one knows the specific details.”

 “She doesn’t like women.” Amberxiu sighed.

"How do you know." Sares asked: "Did your elders tell you? Wait, your so-called elders are not the men this grandma met during her adventures, are they?" Amberxiu smiled , and then said: "Who knows, it's been three hundred years."

Sarace stared at Amberxiu. He always felt that there was something wrong with the Storm Child in front of him, but he didn't know what the problem was. It has indeed been more than three hundred years. Although Alina Sanda is recorded in the tribe, to the druids of the entire Emerald Dream Forest, it is just a very common name, and it is not worthy of anyone's concern. Years.

Amberxiu's expression did not change much, but there was a little melancholy deep in his soul.

Amber Xiu is not an innocent boy who has lived for hundreds of years. He already had a girlfriend before he traveled through time. After traveling through time, he was involved in everything from food, drink, prostitution, and gambling.

An adventurer who is wandering around and risking his life will naturally be drunk today. No matter what happens tomorrow, he should feel good today first.

 So, in the first half of his life, he had a lot of romantic relationships, which were the kind where they were forgotten after one fight.

Among these women, there are not many whose names can be remembered by Amber Xiu, and Alina is one of them.

It seems that only the name is remembered, and other details of the relationship have been blurred. Amberxiu can't even remember how old he is this year. Is it three hundred years old, four hundred years old, or even longer... Maybe you have to look through history books to find the corresponding memories from major historical events.

 Why did the two of them separate in the first place?

 It seemed like a quarrel, but the reason for the quarrel was forgotten. Is it an uneven distribution of the spoils? Or do you have three different views? Or is it just a boring little question?

Amberxiu originally thought that Alina was just like everyone else in his life, just a passerby, but he never expected that someone would never marry for him.

"Did I have such great charm at that time that women would remember it for a lifetime?" Amber Xiu was a little confused. A poor mage can only be regarded as an inconspicuous passerby in this world. "It's better not to be so pretentious. Maybe Alina will meet another man who will be unforgettable to her after breaking up with me."

Although hearing the news about his old friend made Amberxiu a little melancholy, Amberxiu just sighed a little. The past is over, and you still have to live in the present. Oh, the same goes for being a lich.

  After chatting for a while, Sares gradually let go of his guard against Amberxiu.

In the eyes of this old man, Amber Xiu is not like those reckless and rude sons of the storm, nor is he frivolous and naive like young people. On the contrary, he has a lot in common with old men like him, and they both like to use the standpoint of "experienced people". Look at everything.

 Sares even forgot that this man looked to be in his forties, and almost called him brother.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Amberxiu asked indirectly about the dream ritual.

"The name of Emerald Dream Forest seems to have been circulated for many years. I can understand everything else, but this dream should not only refer to the dream enchantment, right? I heard that you druids have something to do with dreams. It’s just that the rumors outside are outrageous, saying that a group of druids were dreaming together and doing shameful things inside..."

Sares said angrily: "Where do these rumors come from? This ceremony is very sacred. Who dares to slander it like this!"

"Who else can it be, the Lane people? In their eyes, all aliens are evil, and humans who don't believe in the Lord of the Dawn are heretics. In their mouths, druids are almost the same as cultists. We in the Kingdom of Rage are also the same. Same, isn't he being hunted down by Ryan as a cultist?"

Whether it is or not, it's Ryan's fault anyway.

Sares suddenly had a feeling of sharing the same enemy. Isn’t the reason why the Emerald Dream Forest had sealed off the entire territory because of Lane’s external expansion? This group of Lane people were extremely xenophobic and had almost become the public enemies of the mainland.

An Boxiu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "But you can't blame people outside for believing the rumors. Cuimeng Youlin is too closed. People outside can only rely on guessing. I have no idea what this ritual is. , there is no other way but to believe the rumors.”

"This is slander! The dream ceremony is a sacred ceremony for the great druids to understand nature. The dreams that everyone enters are different, and the dreams are not connected at all." Sares explained.

Amberxiu asked strangely: "If this is the case, who knows what these druids dream about? Elder Sares, have you ever tried this kind of dream ritual?"

Sares quickly said: "Of course I have tried. Every druid has the opportunity to fall into a dream. There is only a natural dream blessed by the father of the oak tree, without any unclean things."

Amberxiu said: "Elder Sares, are you bragging a little too much? There are so many druids in Emerald Dream Forest, how is it possible that everyone can fall asleep? This ritual must be exclusive to the great druids. If you haven't tried it, There’s no need to brag, it’s so embarrassing.”

Sares's face flushed with excitement and he said loudly: "Who says it can't be done! The dream-entrance ceremony is held every five years and can cover the entire Emerald Dream Forest. All druids can enter the blessed realm by praying to the Father of Oak. In a dream. If you don’t believe me, I will let you see if I am qualified to live here for two years.”

The next dream ceremony is still two years away... This news disappointed Amberxiu.

Even if Naomi can get the qualification to enter the dream, he can't wait here for two years.

It’s just that Sares said that this dream ritual covers the entire Emerald Dream Forest, and the dream barrier also covers the entire Emerald Dream Forest. Both of them make people fall asleep. Could it be that there is any connection between them?

Amberxiu suddenly had the idea to sleep in this forest.
