This Lich Needs More Money

 Chapter 217 A destined disaster

 The Alchemy City was gone, and this incident shocked everyone in the entire continent.

The situation has changed suddenly, and the Dwarf Kingdom is eyeing the Alchemy City, so that all people coming from the Alchemy City have become objects of strict scrutiny, and even high bounties have been offered to arrest people.

 The unlucky guy Harvey was captured by a group of orcs who were half mercenaries and half bandits before he entered the city.

This is a group of orcs inherited in the form of a matrilineal clan. They stopped Harvey outside Manna City, and then swarmed up and tied him up.

Then, Harvey saw the female orc next to him, or half-orc and half-elf.

This female orc who calls herself "Jagged Knife" uses the simplest and most primitive method to extract confessions, and this is what Harvey looks like.

 Harvey began to doubt that luck was conserved. He had been prosperous for so long, and now it was time to be unlucky.

After receiving a beating, Harvey reluctantly convinced the group of orcs and proved that he knew nothing about the disappearance of the Alchemy City, but "Sawtooth Knife" was not happy about it. It took so much effort to capture the people and put in so much effort. Torture to extract confessions, but nothing comes of it?

Just when "Jagged Knife" was about to kill Harvey and sell it to those black market necromancers, Harvey loudly stated that he could make a lot of money for her.

Just as they were happily accepting one of Harvey's gold coins, the drow felt something was wrong. Because there was a lot of change on the big table on the other side, which added up to more than the price of one gold coin.

At the moment of life or death, the prophetic mage can always trust his own intuition.

 Harvey just threw a gold coin casually, and then said: "You shake yours, it's not like a bard makes money with his mouth, why do you talk so much nonsense?"

　　However, Harvey saw through Chuqianya at a glance and was completely defeated.

As soon as Harvey sat down, the adventurers who were gambling all stared at him and laughed mockingly.

The drow looked at the position of Havina's gold coin, which landed on the "big" position, and suddenly smiled.

As soon as the sieve cup was tapped, the drow opened it confidently. Sure enough, it was one, two, three, and six o'clock.

 Being a dealer, he naturally has the means. As a senior wanderer, it would be easy for him to roll out a small number.

He said he would cut off one of Harvey's fingers once he lost, but Harvey won thirty times in a row until the orc couldn't bear to cheat anymore.

 “I’m good at gambling!” Harvey said in a leaky voice.

"Huh? This pig head still has a temper? Okay, I will make you lose all the gauze to me today!"

This is a gambling table for playing dice, but the dealer is not the tavern owner, but some of the more prestigious local mercenary groups. Taverns on this continent seem to have an unwritten rule. The tavern owner only sells drinks and operates entrusted intermediary business, and does not engage in anything else.

Harvey had no idea that his unlucky appearance was noticed by Amber Hew, and he was forced to sit on the gambling table by the "serrated knife".

Although Harvey won this round, he made his boss lose money.

Not only did he bandage up Harvey casually, he took him to Manna City, hoping to make a lot of money.

Harvey, who had a bruised face and a broken hand, looked so miserable that Amber almost couldn't help but help him. But after thinking about it, Harvey didn't see any injuries on his body when he saw him again. It seems that he solved the problem by his own ability, so Amberxiu didn't take any action.

"Jagged Knife" saw Harvey's ability and immediately decided to keep this human in captivity.

After deciding to save Harvey, Amberxiu recognized the student, so he was also very interested in seeing how Harvey solved this trouble.

Of course the orc didn't believe it, so someone took out a few dice and played the simplest bet with him.

 The tavern is more of a platform for adventurers to play freely.

The drow biting the sieve cup also said loudly: "I have seen a lot of gambling ghosts, but this is the first time I have seen him come to gamble after being beaten like this. This is a person who has lost all his wealth and is ready to gamble for the last time in his life." Do you want me to introduce you to a loan? I know a lot of loan bosses."

Frowned his brows, how could he make such a stupid mistake? If you get angry with others and ask your boss to pay for it, you will be in trouble if word spreads about it. But this little money doesn't matter, just don't do it again next time.

Harvey threw down the second gold coin without changing his expression. It was still a big coin. This time the drow saw it clearly. There were many people buying the big coin, so it was better to use the smaller one.

The dice was precisely controlled by this drow elf, and it rolled a four, five, six, fifteen o'clock.

This time other gamblers complained and they also lost a lot.

 At this time, some people said that Harvey was a bright light and began to buy specifically against him.

Now the drow is in trouble. He can't compensate the boss, so he has to roll a point that Harvey can win.

But the drow was shocked to find that he couldn't shake it out this time.

No matter what Harvey bought, he kept losing, while those who bought against Harvey won big.

The drow's head was sweating. He had made his boss lose thousands of gold coins several times in a row. The drow patted the sieve cup and said to Harvey: "You kid, how dare you make a fool of yourself here?!"

Harvey said with an innocent face: "I keep losing money, and you still accuse me of cheating. Is there any more reason to argue? Besides, you are the one who rolls the dice and I haven't even touched it. How can I cheat?"

The drow couldn't tell, but he was certain that this guy with a bandaged face had done something.

 Otherwise, it would be impossible for the dice to disobey him this time.

 Harvey sighed and said: "Oh, even if you lose money, you will be called a liar. This is nonsense. I'm leaving."

 Harvey stood up and left, "Jagged Knife" quickly came over to help him, and the two walked out of the tavern together.

The drow felt very wrong because the female orc who came with Harvey did not place a bet, which meant that the two of them really lost money, which was confusing.

 However, not long after the two left, several orcs also walked out of the tavern.

They arrived earlier than Harvey, and had already pretended to be drunkards in the tavern to place bets. They were betting casually and lost a little money, but when Harvey showed up, they placed bets vigorously. Because it was spread among several people, it seemed like each person didn’t win much, but the total amount was five to six hundred gold coins.

 This is equivalent to their income for several months, which makes the orcs extremely excited.

"Jagged Knife" was happy and confused, and asked Harvey: "Why don't you just win money? It's so complicated, and with your ability, you can win tens of thousands in one day!"

"If a person wins so much, he is really not afraid of falling out. My teacher taught me one thing. When it comes to making money, you have to control the other party's bottom line. Now we can leave safely and there will be no danger. If we win too much, maybe If you see blood, I will die the fastest when the time comes."

  Harvey learned a lot from Amber Xiu, just like when Amber Xiu tricked him into setting up a magic circle, making him think that he was going to be a sacrifice, so he cleverly modified the magic circle to have a self-explosion effect. Although he finally found out that he had become a clown, it taught Harvey a good lesson.

 Sometimes flaws are deliberately revealed to cover up more important information.

 Harvey used himself as bait and successfully concealed the other companions. It is estimated that the drow will have to figure it out tomorrow.

 I have really grown up.

 Although "Jagged Knife" felt that Harvey was too conservative, he still made a fortune and said generously: "Then as agreed, I will treat you."

 I saw the "serrated knife" slapped Harvey on the body, and the palm began to glow with blue-green light.

 Harvey only felt that the broken bones in his arms began to itch, and then completely healed after dozens of seconds.

"Jagged Knife" gasped and retracted his palm, and said to Harvey: "That's it, my healing skills are just like this, I'll make do with it."

Orcs are not good at casting spells. Even the bloodline sorcerers among the orcs can only specialize in a few spells inherited from the bloodline. "Jagged Knife" is definitely not a warlock. Her spell-casting ability should be related to the blood of the half-elf.

Although the injury on his face has not healed yet, Harvey is very happy that his arm can recover. These orcs have kept their word, and his life has been saved.

“Let’s discuss a matter. I’ll help you win money. How much can you win before you let me go?” Harvey asked.

"Haha, don't think about it, how could I let a camel beast that pulls gold leave? From today on, you are my man, work for me for the rest of your life!"

 Harvey's eyes widened under the gauze and he said in shock: "What did you say?"

Jagged Knife laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. My mother captured a drow back then, so be careful when doing things. This is a family inheritance."

Jagged Knife picked up Harvey and ran towards the largest hotel in the city with rapid strides.

 “Help...help!” Harvey wanted to shout, but someone immediately stuffed a piece of moldy dried meat into his mouth, silencing him from shouting.

All this was secretly watched by Ambrose. He and Catherine used illusions to hide aside until Harvey was carried away.

Amberxiu sighed, this kid has made some progress, but not much. There is no way to expose your escape thoughts to the kidnappers. Of course, you should continue to let them relax their vigilance, and then look for opportunities to escape.

 “You’re not going to save him?” Catherine said in a very sympathetic tone.

 After confirming that the victim was a drow, Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not one of her compatriots. But I started to feel sad for Harvey again. How big of a psychological shadow was this?

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "I have already said that fate cannot be changed. If I take action now, I might accidentally push these two people onto the bed. This is fate's arrangement, and I believe Harvey will accept it. ”

Harvey had said at the beginning that if he had predicted that he would die tomorrow, he would have faced it calmly.

　　Isn’t it just losing your virginity? It’s inevitable when you are an adventurer. Once it’s raw, it’s twice cooked, and you’ll get used to it soon.

Amberxiu said to Catherine: "Let's take the time to rest. I have a hunch that this false prophecy will be completed soon. As long as the scene is finished, Harvey will be alive."
