This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 197 A little tacit understanding

 The three-party talks were facilitated by Amber Xiu in a very strange way.

Brandir, a love brain, has no doubts about Amberxiu's ulterior motives. From his perspective, what's the problem even if people from the Kingdom of Rage are allowed to meet Catherine? Silvermoon Highgarden and the Kingdom of Raging Tide cannot unite to invade Emerald Dream Forest because of this meeting. Isn't this a joke?

 So, everything is going well.

Brandier met Amberxiu at noon, and during dinner in the evening, he informed them to attend a dinner specially prepared for foreign guests.

　　It was not a formal occasion, but it was enough for Ambrose and Catherine to meet each other.

 Deep in the green woods, a vast open space is carefully laid out.

 Fine moss covers the ground, as soft as the most expensive plush carpet when stepped on. The moonlight shines through the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow, making the entire venue look peaceful and soft.

 The tables and chairs are all grown directly from the ground, covered with soft and smooth animal skins, and they look and feel very comfortable.

Despite the fact that druids have so many rules, they look like extreme environmentalists to outsiders, but they are completely different from the environmentalists Amberxiu saw in his previous life.

They can really live in peace with nature and rationally utilize everything in nature, living in harmonious coexistence rather than unilateral destruction and plunder.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is wise now and listens to Amber Xiu in everything. Anyway, just leave it to him and any problem can be solved.

 But no matter what others thought, Amberxiu came to Catherine like this, and then sat down with a calm expression, making eye contact with Queen Catherine.

Brandir wanted to get closer, but the other great druids stared at her fiercely, fearing that he would really pack up the Emerald Dream Forest and sell it, so he was absolutely not allowed to get close to Catherine.

 But Ariel was a little afraid to get close. The sight from behind put a lot of pressure on her. In fact, it wasn't just her. Everyone at the banquet subconsciously kept a distance from Catherine. Standing next to Catherine would make them look like a clown, which was very annoying.

Amberxiu walked over with Ariel. He hadn’t seen Catherine for several days, and he still missed her a little.

Ariel was also surprised and said: "She is the Queen of Elf, she is so beautiful."

 And this is not all the high-end power of Emerald Dream Forest. There are thirty archdruids in the council.

 Simple and direct greetings, there is no problem in terms of etiquette. But facing the Elf Queen, introducing oneself in such a crude manner seemed a bit disrespectful.

Catherine seemed to be glowing. There was no shortage of women at the banquet. Ariel was also a rare beauty, but compared to Catherine... even compared to her back, there was a very obvious gap. .

Green Dream Forest is a parliamentary system. Their teachings believe that all life is equal and a part of nature, so there is no distinction between superior and inferior positions at the banquet. Tables and chairs were randomly distributed throughout the venue. Squirrels carried trays of food to the tables and in front of the guests. It was unknown how many of these little animals were druids.

 Doesn’t this person feel a little awe after seeing Catherine’s appearance?

Ariel followed Amberxiu step by step and asked, "Where should we sit?"

 It is indeed an old kingdom with a long history, and it is really not something that a poor guy like the Rage Kingdom can compare with.

 As a result, when Ambrose walked towards Catherine, everyone's eyes fell on him.

However, by the time Amberxiu and Ariel arrived, the venue was already very busy and there were not many free seats.

Amberxiu stretched out his hand and said, "Don't you think about it? We're here to see the Elf Queen, so of course we're going to sit with her."

 Looking along Amber's finger, Ariel saw an elegant back. The long golden hair that seemed to be glowing covered the gorgeous robe. Ariel only thought that the hair was more beautiful than the exquisite patterns on the clothes.

This son of the storm doesn’t look that good, he’s dark, fat and old. How dare he get close to the Elf Queen?

“Your Majesty Catherine, I am Monge Gray River from the Kingdom of Rage. It is a great honor to meet you here.”

Amberxiu glanced at it. Counting Brandir, there were thirteen druids in total. Intuition tells Amber Xiu that these thirteen druids are all legends.

 “Let’s go and say hello to this Elf Queen.”

That's what Brandir thought. He didn't understand how Amberxiu could be so calm. When he first saw Catherine, he was stunned for two minutes.

Ariel was the same. After seeing Catherine's face, her eyes widened and she was shocked by this impeccable beauty.

 As both women, it has been a long time since I recovered from this shock.

 This is the charm that goes beyond appearance and temperament, coming from Catherine's pure and kind soul and the blessings of the elves and gods.

Catherine didn't recognize Amberxiu at first. His transformation skills were really impeccable. Perhaps only the paladin could detect something was wrong. But as soon as Amberxiu opened his mouth, Catherine recognized him. This was exactly the tone of the lich. Speaking habits. Also, the other party is not affected by your own charm at all, so only the undead who have lost most of their feelings can do it.

Catherine looked at Ariel next to her. Did this guy really kidnap a princess? He even became the messenger of the Kingdom of Rage, which is really outrageous.

 Catherine tried very hard to control her expression and be polite to Amber Hugh.

The conversation between the two was very ordinary. Ariel listened and didn't hear anything wrong. Amberxiu just talked to Catherine about the kingdom's cooperation as planned. As in the past, cooperation between countries cannot be finalized in a few words. What the two talked about was only their intention to cooperate.

Although Silvermoon Highgarden is now closed to the country, Catherine came to Emerald Dream Forest just to find allies. Although the Kingdom of Rage and Silvermoon Highgarden are far apart, there is such a thing as the teleportation array, so cooperation is not completely impossible.

Ariel listened carefully. She felt that Amberxiu must be planning something again. Just like Brandir's change of attitude before, the elf queen should also show shock while chatting with Amberxiu. expression, and then you were deceived by him, right?

Ariel was looking forward to it, but until the two of them finished chatting, Catherine still maintained her original elegance and calmness without any change.

"Well, let's stop talking today. It's my greatest honor to chat with Her Majesty Catherine. This is a small gift and not disrespectful."

Amberxiu handed over a small box, and Catherine did not refuse. She said thank you and accepted the gift. Catherine took out another exquisite small box and handed it to Amberxiu and said, "As a courtesy, this is the spice of Silver Moon Highgarden. I hope you like it."

Amberxiu also accepted it with a smile, then stood up to leave.

Ariel didn’t know why, but she could only follow Amberxiu.

　　After walking a long distance, it wasn't until Amberxiu started to pick up the fruit and start chewing it that Ariel couldn't help but ask: "Just now...you didn't perform well?"

Amberxiu gave her a strange look and asked, "What are you talking about? I had a very happy chat with Queen Catherine, and we have already agreed to talk about cooperation next time."

Ariel said excitedly: "No, shouldn't you use your mouth to stun her and then obey your words? Just like you lied to that druid."

 Amberson:…

What on earth is this little girl thinking about? How come her image in her mind suddenly becomes so outrageous?

"Don't talk nonsense. We are having normal diplomatic negotiations. Don't spread unnecessary rumors."

Ariel agreed, but then asked: "But didn't you agree to that druid to help inquire about the Elf Queen's hobbies? But you didn't inquire about this at all just now. Aren't you lying? ?”

Before Amberxiu could answer, Brandir had already appeared in front of the two of them.

 “What did you talk to Catherine just now?” Brandier asked very excitedly.

There was expectation and jealousy in his eyes. Brandier couldn't even talk to Catherine now, but Amberxiu had chatted with Catherine for so long just now, and they were even laughing and joking. Brandier wanted to die with his body. Instead.

"Don't worry, I've already found out what you want to know." Amberxiu said comfortingly.

Ariel glanced at Amberxiu and thought: It's true, here he is, his trick of deceiving people is about to come out again!

Brandir had no idea what Ariel was thinking, and just looked at Amberxiu expectantly.

Amber Xiu said calmly: "From the conversation just now, I probably already know her hobbies."

Brandier urged anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what does Catherine like?"

 Amberson replied: "She likes elves."

 “Isn’t this nonsense? She is the Elf Queen.”

Brandir showed an angry expression. He began to feel that the son of the storm was lying to him. Why is it strange that the queen of a country likes her own people? This was not what he asked at all.

Amberxiu explained: "What I'm saying is that she only has the elves in her heart. For her, the ethnic group is above everything else, including love, and even herself."

 “What are you talking about? Catherine would betray herself, how is this possible?!” Brandier didn’t believe it at all.

Amberxiu said categorically: "It's up to you to believe it or not, but I'm 100% sure that this Elf Queen will sacrifice everything for the Elf Race, including herself. If you want to be favored by the Elf Queen, don't miss you. Instead of doing what you can do for Catherine, think about what you can do for the elves.”

After saying this, Amberxiu ignored Brandir and left the banquet with Ariel.

Brandir really wanted to teach Amber a lesson, but the other person was the envoy of the Kingdom of Rage, so he could only endure it. When Amberxiu left, Brandier calmed down a little, but couldn't help but recall Amberxiu's expression when he spoke, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"Is what he said true? What should I do for the entire elves? But where do the elves need the help of me, a druid?"

Brandir was in deep thought, but Amberxiu had already returned to the original tribe with Ariel.

Ariel originally wanted to ask what happened tonight, but Amberxiu used the excuse of being tired to drive her out.

When Amber Xiu was the only one left in the room, he opened the small box that Catherine gave him, stretched out his fingers to dig into the powder, pulled out an exquisite oak ring, and shared it with Nao The ones Mi brought were exactly the same.

Amberxiu said with emotion: "This little girl has really become smarter."

Last time Naomi came to see Amber repair, she found that the druids treated her differently, and only gave Amber repair a bracelet that could not cast spells. Naomi reported this to Catherine, and Catherine prepared this gift for Ambrose.

The two did not discuss how to pass the items on, but Catherine thought of hiding the oak ring in the powder box. When Amberxiu took out the gift, she naturally "reciprocated the gift".

From this point of view, Catherine and Ambrose already have some tacit understanding. Many details do not need to be stated explicitly, and they can naturally cooperate with each other.

 After getting the oak ring, Amberxiu quickly put it on himself, then took off the bracelet and performed a simple mage's hand.

The magic power runs smoothly without any hindrance. As expected, this oak ring allows people to cast spells at will in the dream enchantment.

 With this ring, Amberxiu no longer has to worry about his own safety and can run away at any time when in danger.

More importantly, with the ability to cast spells, Amberxiu can implement his plan to enter the dream.

 But there is no rush now, Amberxiu still needs to wait for a suitable time.

"Catherine, it's time for you to go back. Hurry up and open the 'gift' I prepared for you."
