This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 195 Speculations about Dreaming

 Previously, Amber Xiu believed that the Dream Barrier was the wonder of the Emerald Dream Forest.

Maintaining such a huge magic barrier must be very expensive. It is entirely because of Ryan's troubles that the druids chose this kind of operation that wastes people and money.

But when Amberxiu heard that the dream ritual also covered the entire Emerald Dream Forest, he had a guess.

 The dream enchantment should be modified based on the dream ritual.

 The reason is very simple: it saves trouble, money and manpower.

The dream ritual requires a pre-code, which is probably a secret prayer text unique to the druids. After reciting it and falling asleep, you can enter the natural dreamland.

Dream enchantment means that as soon as you enter the range, you will fall asleep immediately.

Then we might as well break it down and look at it. The effect of falling asleep and the dream state are two different parts. The dream enchantment forcibly drags people into the dream, but does not allow outsiders to enter the natural dream state.

Amberxiu felt that the probability of his guess being correct was not small, but it needed to be verified.

Naomi shook her head and said: "The master didn't say it too carefully, and I don't know very well. But he has a princess from the Raging Tide Kingdom as a bodyguard. The master's status in the Raging Tide Kingdom should be quite high."

Catherine could only comfort herself by saying that her decision to follow Amber Xiu out for experience was the right one. In just a few days, she had learned more than she had in the past hundred years.

 It is perfectly normal for a ranger to let his beast companions roam free and hunt by themselves.

The religious lunatic in Lane had to kneel down after sending him money, and the fighting maniac in the Kingdom of Rage also had to send a princess to be his bodyguard. It was so outrageous that the bard couldn't even make up such a story when he was drunk.

First of all, he needs to have an environment that allows him to sleep peacefully. Although the transformation does not require him to continue to control it, and it will not be automatically released when he sleeps, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen after he falls asleep. If the transformation fails, his identity will be exposed. .

Amberxiu could only live in a wooden house, while Catherine lived in a castle made entirely of trees. The great druids customized it for her on the spot and asked Catherine about her preferences while building the house. , for fear of neglecting the other party.

Catherine's eyes widened. Isn't this lich too outrageous? No matter where he goes, he is given power, status, money and beautiful women. This is so unreasonable.

 Therefore, Naomi did not alert anyone when she came back. At most, the druids only knew that the Elf Queen's contract partner had run away, and they did not care at all.

As soon as Naomi returned to the exquisite giant wooden castle, Catherine couldn't wait to ask: "Have you seen that guy? Did he have any orders?"

This cannot be tricked into making Sares say it. If he is not careful, it will arouse his vigilance and cause an accident.

 As a noble elf queen, the treatment she received in Emerald Dream Forest was of the highest level.

On the other side of the dense forest, Naomi sneaked in the night and soon returned to Catherine.

Secondly, if you want to verify it, you have to get the druids’ dream prayers.

"The master said that he hopes you will continue to inquire about the details of the dream ceremony, and also to promote a three-party meeting..." Naomi repeated Amberxiu's order in full, without omitting anything.

 Catherine was shocked when she heard this.

"Three-party talks? Didn't he go to the sea to find the artifact? Why did he suddenly become the envoy of the Kingdom of Rage?"

 “And bring a princess as a bodyguard?!”

And Catherine didn't have to force the druids to remove surveillance like Amberxiu did. The druids didn't dare to send people to monitor for fear of making the elf queen dissatisfied.

Naomi looked at the elf queen, thinking that if others heard her words, she would faint from fright.

Amberxiu could only pray in his heart: "Catherine, please give me some strength and help me dig out this secret."

It’s no wonder that the druids treat them differently. The elves and the druids have always had a good relationship and can be regarded as allies for thousands of years. Catherine is the queen of elves and has irresistible charm. This kind of treatment is not an exaggeration at all.

 It turns out that this is how power is played, it turns out that wealth can be deceived in this way, and it turns out that people's hearts are so complex but easy to be manipulated.

Since Amberxiu asked her to continue to inquire about the details of the dream ritual, Catherine could only do it.

"But how do I inquire about it? This is all the druid's secret. Even if I ask, the other party won't tell me, right?" Catherine said a little helplessly.

But Naomi said: "Sister Catherine, you think too much. As long as you ask, there is no secret that cannot be revealed."

This is absolutely true. A certain archdruid is madly pursuing Catherine and has reached a state of obsession. Catherine has to stay shut in the house for the past two days to avoid being entangled by him.

As long as Catherine opens her mouth, no secret will be a secret anymore.

 But Catherine was unwilling to do this.

The last time I helped Amber Xiu deceive Ryan's paladin, although I thought the acting was very exciting at first, but then I thought about it carefully, it was using the reputation of the elves to work for Amber Xiu. If Amber Xiu hadn't given it to her in the end, If the reputation is restored, the impact will be huge if word spreads.

The former Silly Sweet Queen has now begun to understand how to think about the overall situation. She can help Amber Xiu get information, but she must not use deception. She now represents the entire elves. No matter what time it is, the elves are above all else in Catherine's heart.

It is definitely not possible to use seductive methods to deceive information. This will definitely bring shame to the elves. We must find other ways to obtain relevant information.

 What should we do? What would the lich do if he were in her position?

Catherine began to think of Ambrose in her mind, and carefully recalled everything she had with him, especially the words Ambrose used when he deceived others. She only regretted that she had not copied down the entire text and recited it.

 Seeing how miserable Catherine was, Naomi also began to help think about it, but the two girls couldn't think of any solution until dawn.

 And there was another knock on the door.

“I have brought the most beautiful flowers from the Green Dream Forest and the sweetest honey, dedicated to you, my beloved goddess!”

The passionate voice came from outside the castle. It was the archdruid who was madly pursuing Catherine—Brandir Sanda, a legendary druid who was only thirty-eight years old.

Naomi stuck her head out of the window and looked downstairs.

The tall and handsome blond man stood there holding a bouquet of flowers. When he saw Naomi, he gave her the brightest smile.

From the appearance, this is indeed a very attractive man. In terms of status, the Archdruid of Emerald Dream Forest can be regarded as one of the rulers of the kingdom, and he is also considered prominent. When it comes to personal ability, being able to become a legend at the age of thirty-eight is naturally a true genius, one of the best in the Nine Kingdoms.

 However, Naomi felt that he was not worthy of Catherine.

 A man who has been captured by Catherine's charm has completely lost himself. He is like a slave. He cannot stand beside Catherine as an equal. How can he become Catherine's husband?

But the Archdruid didn't think so. He had already fallen in love with the Elf Queen at the first sight of Catherine. How could there be such a perfect person in this world? It was a shocking feeling. The beauty kept Brandir awake all night long.

However, this crazy look startled Catherine. In the past, there were other elves in Silvermoon Highgarden to help her block these crazy suitors. Now she is in Emerald Dream Forest, which is the territory of druids. You can figure it out yourself.

Even if she declined once, Catherine could only stay away.

Even though he hasn’t seen Catherine for two days, the feeling in Brandier’s heart not only does not subside, but becomes stronger and stronger.

Brandir has sworn to the Oak Father that he will not marry anyone in this life except Catherine. No matter what the cost, he will get the love of this elf queen.

It doesn't matter if he gives something away, as long as Catherine is willing, she can even take his life.

Other archdruids felt that this was inappropriate and rude, but they were of equal status and it was difficult for others to stop Brandir. Besides, if he really succeeded in his pursuit, it would be a good thing for Emerald Dream Forest.

 So, many druids also secretly helped, hoping to find out about Catherine's hobbies, which might lead to a good story.

With the support of his own race, Brandir became even more attentive. He gave gifts for breakfast, lunch and evening. He also asked many people for advice, wrote love poems and asked birds to deliver letters, and made up love songs to sing loudly downstairs.

He is not afraid of embarrassment or being laughed at. He only has eyes for Catherine.

　　Naomi sighed, jumped out of the window, and landed in front of Brandir.

Brandier quickly took out two pieces of fragrant dried meat and placed them in front of Naomi, and asked carefully: "Good boy, how is your master's mood today? Would you like to see me?"

　　While talking, Brandir also cast the magic of animal communication, but it was just a waste of effort. Naomi was not a real leopard.

Naomi bit into the dried meat in one bite and swallowed it into her stomach in two or three mouthfuls. Suddenly, a comfortable feeling spread throughout her body. This is specially processed jerky that is rich in natural energy and is great for the body. Just these two pieces of dried meat placed outside can be sold for one hundred thousand gold coins. This archdruid really spent a lot of money to please Catherine.

　　After eating the dried meat, Naomi shook her head at Brandier, indicating that Catherine still didn’t want to see him today, so it was considered that she was not eating his food in vain.

Brandil suddenly showed a disappointed expression, but he quickly cheered up and continued to inquire: "What kind of man does your master like? I promise that I can change him to be exactly the same."

The skeletal appearance of Ambrose appeared in Naomi's mind. If this druid knew that Katherine was working for a lich or giving money to her, I wonder if he would have a nervous breakdown.

 But just as she was about to turn around and leave, Naomi suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.

I saw her stretching out her paws and writing a sentence on the ground: "The master has been disturbed by you in her sleep recently and has been very uneasy at night. Is there anything you can do to make her have a good dream? If I can make the master If you have a good rest, I’ll say something nice to you!”

Although I don’t understand why this leopard wants to write, and it’s not like the druids can’t understand the language of animals, it doesn’t matter anymore. This is the first time Brandir has seen the light of day.

 “Just wait a moment, I’ll go get ready and make sure Catherine has a sweet dream.”

 After saying this, Brandir turned around and ran away.

Naomi looked at the other person’s back and smiled.

It is not convenient for Catherine to seduce Brandir into revealing the secret. Her "beast companion" does not have to worry about this. As a pet, it is reasonable to care about the health of its owner. As for whether she accidentally found out the Druid's secret, that has nothing to do with her. What evil intentions could a little leopard have?

With this move, do you know how much of your master’s skills you have learned?
