This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 21 The Lich of Hundreds of Years Has Too Much Mind

Amberxiu counted the gold coins and even took out a piece of parchment to write down the contents of the contract and nailed it to the notice board of the tavern as a notarization.

 After so many rituals, Amberxiu said to the paladin: "Come on, use your evil detection."

The paladin reminded: "If you use magic to resist and it cannot be detected, it will be regarded as your breach of contract."

Amber Xiu said: "If you are worried, you can block my magic power first."

 The paladin shook his head. This was not necessary. It was impossible for him not to know whether the evil detection was affected. Amber Xiu is still extremely confident until now, and the paladin somewhat believes that he has a clear conscience.

  The light of the spell lit up and fell on Amber Xiu's body.

Evil detection is a spell that relies on light to identify its effect. A pure and kind person will naturally be covered in flawless white light, while a person with evil intentions will have black spots or dark red spots. The higher the level of evil, the higher these filthy rays.

Generally speaking, evil thoughts in the hearts of ordinary people will cause a few dark spots the size of a finger to appear on the light, which is almost the same as greed for money and beauty but not putting it into practice.

Cultists who believe in evil gods have mostly dim light, which has reached a serious level of pollution. It is obvious at a glance that they have done a lot of evil things.

And when the evil detection spell fell on Amber Xiu, a darkness that was so thick that it couldn't be broken spread out, completely covering Amber Xiu's whole body.

 Harvey:? ? ?

 Paladin:!

 Tavern guest: Huh?

 …

Everyone thought they were under an illusion. How dark is this? Even the cultists are not that outrageous. Could this person be the evil **** himself?

The paladin reacted quickly and roared loudly: "You are an undead creature!"

If there is anything other than evil gods that can achieve this effect in the evil detection spell, it is only undead creatures.

This is not a question of whether an individual has done evil, but that the undead race is the opposite of other living beings. It can be said that for living creatures, the undead are inherently evil and belong to class contradictions.

 So all undead are dark, without exception.

Amberxiu waved his hand nonchalantly to disperse the thick darkness, and then said: "I will accept five thousand gold coins with a smile."

The paladin's anger almost turned into reality. The long sword was unsheathed, and the holy light condensed on the sword's edge.

 This is the most famous move of the paladin - Holy Slash.

 With one strike of the sword, ordinary undead souls will be instantly wiped out into ashes, leaving no ashes behind.

The paladin said angrily: "Dirty undead, what qualifications do you have to take this money?"

Amberxiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the contract on the bulletin board.

"What the contract says is that I take the risk and accept evil detection. This money is my moral compensation. It doesn't say that I have to be pure and flawless to receive compensation, right? You see, my identity as an undead has been exposed, and everyone knows it. , shouldn’t we get some compensation for something that hurts our self-esteem?”

As soon as Amberxiu finished speaking, the guests immediately reacted and began to curse.

“Yes, yes, I hate the undead the most, they are dirty and shameless things.”

“That’s right, the undead are the most despised. What’s the matter with skeletons?”

 “Kill the undead, and the light will last forever!”

 “Ah, I was drinking in a tavern with the undead, and I was going to vomit.”

 …

The extremely exaggerated acting skills made the paladin's hand holding the sword hilt tremble slightly. It seemed that he was on the verge of explosion.

Amberxiu shrugged and spread his hands.

“Look, if my reputation has been damaged, this money is compensation.”

 “Despicable, shameless!”

The paladin only had these two sentences over and over again. Being well-educated is sometimes a problem. There were not even a few curse words, and it had no attack effect at all for Amber Xiu. Seeing that he could not help but wield the Holy Slash, Harvey quickly came over and advised: "Sir, in the Alchemy City, being an undead is not a sin, but if you want to purify the undead here, you will violate the laws of alchemy. The law of the city.”

  Harvey winked, letting the paladin notice the small movements of the other guests in the tavern.

On the nearest table, two lizardmen warriors have already grasped the long handle of the axe; the drow in the distance are winding their crossbows; even the dwarf singer who has been howling like ghosts has put down his lute and pulled out a short Sword; what's even more outrageous is that the orc bartender took out a pile of empty wine bottles and placed them in the most suitable position for people to get them.

 Looking around, the room is full of enemies.

 When you discriminate against all non-human races equally, you will also bear the hostility of all races. Facing the paladins of the Lane Empire, they would rather stand with the undead.

 Paladins are not very popular in the Alchemy City, and they have fallen into the pit dug by Amber Xiu. If they attack directly, the entire tavern will take advantage of them and rob them.

Although the paladin is strong, it is impossible for him to cope with the siege of dozens of adventurers in a narrow terrain like a tavern. The paladin could only watch as Amber Xiu put the gold coins away, and then reluctantly put the sword back into its scabbard.

"Sure enough, I made the right choice to go out for training. In Lane, I may never have the opportunity to learn this lesson. Thank you, Master Ultraman Tiga. Next time we meet, I will use my sword to purify you gloriously. soul."

 Leaving such a sentence, the paladin left the tavern with his teammates.

 He can pick it up, put it down, and calm down quickly. This paladin is quite a character.

　　The guests in the tavern cheered as if they had won a battle, and whistled and booed to send off the three paladins. When he was about to walk out of the tavern door, Harvey turned his head and took a deep look at Amber Xiu.

He had a vague hunch that the undead disguised as a human in front of him was probably the owner of the old castle. There is no basis, just a simple intuition from the mage of the prophecy school.

If his guess is correct, today is not a bad thing. At least when inviting the paladin to deal with the lich, his chances of agreeing will be much higher. Maybe they'll meet again soon.

Amberxiu also looked at Master Harvey curiously. Although he claimed to be a magic apprentice, Amberxiu intuitively believed that this young man was not simple, and was even more noteworthy than the paladin. His feeling has no basis, it is also the intuition from the former mage of the prophecy school.

Before reincarnating into a lich, he advanced to legend as a mage of the prophecy school. Unfortunately, the legendary favor he received had nothing to do with the prophecy school.

The three paladins left, but the excitement in the tavern did not stop. A drow elf shouted: "With just a few words, the paladins spent five thousand gold coins on you. I'm afraid you, the undead, will be on the wanted list of the Lion Empire." ”

The lizard man on the side agreed: "Yes, you won't live long anyway, so why not take the money and spend it. How about buying everyone a drink?"

“Five thousand gold coins, it’s enough for everyone to drink for a month!”

 “Yes, give me ten cups first!”

Cheers came and went, but Amberxiu didn't hesitate at all and said categorically: "Don't even think about it! You just said that drinking with the undead would make you vomit! You just called me dirty and shameless! And you, you said that you are a dog with bones and bones. If you don’t want to eat! Why don’t I invite you to drink? Why don’t you pray to the God of Wealth to rain down gold coins?”

“No, I didn’t, don’t slander me!”

The drow who just said "what the **** is a skeleton?" retorted excitedly. Drow has always been the only one who deceives people, so how can anyone be cheated by others? It's so outrageous.

 The drinkers were also angry. Isn’t this a performance to match yours? Turn around and turn your back on the person?

 “The stingy **** undead, even us!”

 “Is this also part of your calculation? How shameless!”

 “Save the gold coins to buy the coffin!”

 “The undead really have no heart!”

“He should have been given a taste of the Holy Killing just now!”

 “xxx!”

 “xxxxx!”

 …

The curses gradually grew to an unbearable level, and Amberxiu didn't care at all. Are you kidding me? Can you, the atmosphere group, really be a legend and not be able to beat that paladin?

 A group of little kids are really overestimating their abilities compared to hundreds of years old monsters.
