This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 23 Gift from the God of Destiny

A druid said to the undead that he would not accept payment for help and was willing to give his life to protect the undead.



Amberxiu snorted coldly and said to her: "Don't tell such boring lies. Free things in this world are the most expensive. Only by telling your true purpose can I consider cooperating with you."

The Druid Girl looked around, and then said: "We can find a private place to chat."

Amber Xiu snapped his fingers, and a dark barrier enveloped the two of them.

Amberxiu said: "It is soundproof and lightproof, and ordinary detection spells cannot penetrate this barrier. Now you can tell."

The Druid girl looked at the dark curtain in shock. She was also a spellcaster, and she could tell how powerful Amber Xiu was with just one spell.

Spellcasting requires spells and movements, which are the most basic things. Silent spellcasting is already a very high-end thing. Not only did Amberxiu not use spells, he also deployed the barrier in an instant. If he were in a battle, how fast would this man throw fireballs? The famous Three Fireball God Cult in the mainland could only fire three fireballs in a row within six seconds.

 This undead spirit is far more powerful than imagined.

 I have indeed found the right person.

The druid girl took a deep breath, and then said to Amber Xiu: "I went to explore the sewers of the Alchemy City with my people before, and then I encountered something very scary. My people were trapped inside, and I They need to be rescued."

"Your clan members are all trapped, and you are the only one who can save them? If you want me to take action, it won't be as simple as a free guide, but you will have to pay extra." Amberxiu said strangely.

"No need, I have my own way. You just need to help me find them. You are an undead. You are more sensitive to the light of life of the druid and can accurately find their location in the sewer. In exchange, I will help you. Find the slime you want."

Amberxiu pondered for a moment and asked, "How long have they been trapped?"

This druid chick was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's been more than two months."

 Amberson:…

 Two months, I am afraid that all the bones are gone, where will the light of life come from?

Seemingly sensing Amber Xiu's thoughts, the druid girl said anxiously: "My people have the ability to protect themselves. They are just trapped. As long as I can find them, I can help them get out of trouble. They will definitely Still alive!"

 The last sentence seemed to be what she said to herself, and her voice was already crying.

Amberxiu became more interested in the secrets of the sewers. This poor place attracted not only paladins from the Lion Empire, but also druids... There couldn't really be a legendary dragon hiding in the sewers, right?

 “What did you encounter in the sewers?” Amberxiu asked.

 The Druid girl also knew the value of this information very well, and said to Amberxiu: "You have to promise me first, otherwise I won't tell you more."

“No problem, I can sign a contract with you now. If your people are not dead yet, I will try my best to help you find their location.”

Amber Xiu thought about it and did not refuse.

This Druid girl is more cost-effective than the other two guides.

The dangers of the sewers will not change depending on the choice of guide. On the contrary, this girl has seen the horrors of the sewers, which is actually an advantage.

The druid girl couldn't wait to sign a contract with Amber Xiu,

　　Naomi Watts, Amberxiu only now knew the name of this Druid girl.

This surname is not like the style of Druid. Most Druid surnames are related to nature, and there will be special adaptations according to different associations. For example, the surname Lunar Eclipse is the inherited surname of a certain Moon Society Druid, and it is quite famous.

Watts...sounds more like the style of a human noble, and it is estimated that the family has something to do with thunder and lightning.

It seems that this druid girl also has many mysteries about her life experience.

However, Amberxiu was not curious about other people's gossip. He only wanted to know information related to the sewers. "Now please tell me what's in the sewer? Miss Watts."

Naomi Watts recalled: "I'm not sure what kind of monster we encountered. I was originally exploring the sewers in South City, but the dirty sewers suddenly turned into a beautiful garden, like our hometown." …”

The Druid girl carefully described everything she encountered. To Amber Xiu, it sounded like a large-scale high-level illusion. There were many disguised dangers in this illusion. Like an apple that bites people, a sheep that suddenly grows claws, etc.

Although they are very insidious, they are not too powerful. These druids are just trapped in the illusion and cannot leave. As for the Druid girl in front of them, it was the other druids who worked together to send her out of the illusion. Go back and ask for help.

"So you came back alone? Where are the other members of your tribe? The entire Druid tribe is not in the sewer, right?" Amberxiu asked.

 “This has nothing to do with our cooperation.”

"Haha, okay, I won't ask any more questions. But according to what you said, this monster is not difficult to deal with."

Although large-scale illusions are very powerful, the need to use illusions to trap people shows that the opponent does not have strong frontal attack capabilities. If a mage from the evocation school who specializes in the Three Fireball God Cult can blow all these druids to ashes in just six seconds, the sewers might even collapse.

Several monsters that are good at using illusions flashed through Amberxiu's mind, and he felt that he should be able to deal with them.

 “Then don’t waste time, let’s set off now.”

Ambesio removed the barrier and filed the contract in the tavern, which was considered notarized. All taverns where adventurers gather have this service to reduce disputes. Most city-states also recognize the legal validity of this kind of adventure contract.

Had it not been for this kind of service, watered sour wine and the song of the dwarven howler alone would not have attracted so many guests.

 After walking out of the tavern, Naomi couldn't wait to take Amber Xiu to the entrance of the sewer.

 But Amber Xiu grabbed her and then cast an advanced invisibility spell.

 The figures of the two people quickly became transparent, and finally disappeared completely into the air.

Naomi was startled, not knowing what Amber was doing, but she soon saw two male adventurers walking out of the tavern, it was the thief and ranger who had just interviewed together.

Looking at their appearance, they are actually in the same group.

Moreover, the two of them started looking around as soon as they left the door of the tavern, obviously preparing to follow Amberxiu and Naomi.

The ranger even summoned a hound to try to track the two men by scent. However, the hound turned around several times and still could not find the presence of the two of them.

 Druids are in harmony with nature, and their scent blends perfectly with the environment. As for Amber Xiu, although he is a lich, the odor represents foreign matter and the experimental results may be contaminated, so he has always paid attention to cleanliness. Even the body of the lich has no smell at all.

However, the two of them still did not give up and walked towards the entrance of the sewer, seeming to want to continue following.

 After the two of them left, Amberxiu lifted the invisibility effect.

Naomi said doubtfully: "What do these two people want to do?"

Ambrose explained: "One acts like a crappy liar, one offers prices that seem reasonable but inflated, the same old tricks. They haven't fooled me now, so they want to follow us and pick up some bargains." , If we encounter any trouble in the sewers, they will not hesitate to step on us and steal everything of value. "

This is what adventurers are. Where there are no rules, their minimum limit is not much different from that of bandits.

"Then what should we do now?" Naomi is obviously a rookie with little adventure experience. Otherwise, she would not have waited for so long in the Alchemy City and failed to find a suitable teammate, so that she found Amber Xiu as if she was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. This undead helps.

Amberxiu said matter-of-factly: "Of course, follow them. They won't give up and will definitely enter the sewer. They want to take advantage of us, why can't we take advantage of them."

Amberxiu smiled happily. He had missed an opportunity to take advantage of others, but now he had made up for it. He thanked the God of Destiny for sending him a fat sheep.
