This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 229: Harvey is about to die

 Catherine frowned and said, "You are so self-righteous. What you said is simply blasphemous."

How can anyone make a deal with the gods? Isn’t this just putting the gods on an equal footing? This practice is the most typical form of blasphemy.

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "No, this is definitely not self-righteous. After experiencing so many things, I have become more and more clear about my position. The elves and gods should also be able to see this, so they gave you that key Give me blessings to help me complete the test of my destiny. In that case, why not be more generous?"

Hundreds of years ago, Amber Hugh was just a meaningless passer-by in this world. But after the Alchemy City disappeared, he was walking step by step to the center of the stage in this continent.

Ryan canceled the wanted order for the undead for the first time. Silver Moon Highgarden was saved by Amber Xiu from the brink of annihilation. The Alchemy City was packaged and sold by Amber Xiu. The dream barrier of Emerald Dream Forest was controlled by Amber Xiu. The Rage Tide Over in the kingdom, Amberxiu can always go back and play the role of Mengg Gray River... Amberxiu walked to the center of the stage step by step, which is why so many gods threw olive branches to him, and even the elves and gods used roundabout ways to way to benefit him.

Amberxiu's leading role is finally about to take place. He may only have the chance to play the leading role once in his life, so he will naturally use this status to gain more benefits.

Although Catherine didn't understand where Amberxiu's confidence came from, she still agreed: "I will try my best to convey it, but... forget it, even if I say this will attract punishment from the gods, you won't care, right?"

"It seems you do know me quite well. Let's go, it's time to go back." Amberxiu said.

 Naomi transformed into a silver dragon, and then suspended the hourglass artifact in front of the dragon's head.

Amberxiu gave her a bottle of potion and asked her to have a good rest in her private space, and then said to Catherine: "Let's say goodbye here. I hope you can bring me good news next time we meet again."

 The two beauties beside him screamed loudly, even more excited than Harvey.

 It doesn’t matter what size it is, just throw it around with your eyes closed, no matter whether you win or lose, just to have fun.

Just when Harvey was having fun, suddenly a strange man in a cloak and mask walked up to him and said curiously: "Friend, you are a mage from the prophecy school, right?"

 Harvey looked at this weirdo carefully. His height was a bit exaggerated, already over two meters. This man was wrapped in a flaxen cloak. It was not surprising that this was a common dress among desert people, but his accent was not like a desert person at all. Moreover, he was wearing a mask and not even a trace of skin was exposed on his body. He must not be a good person if he hides his head but only his tail.

Catherine stood on the hot yellow sand and watched Amberxiu fly all the way to the end of the horizon.

 The hourglass turned upside down, and the fine sand like starlight fell down, and the desert began to change rapidly.

 The three of them are rapidly traveling through the past few months, returning to their original time.

At this moment, Harvey was throwing all his bets on the gambling table in the tavern.

She didn’t know what she was looking at. He was obviously a lich who was constantly trying to trick her for money, but seeing him leave like this, Catherine felt a little reluctant to leave.

 When the surroundings calmed down, Naomi fell down again, but this time she only released the transformation of the Time Dragon. She seemed very tired and did not fall into a coma completely.

Now all we have to do is wait for Harvey to team up with others for an adventure and then "die" in the mouth of this undead sand lizard.

Silver-white light surged out from Naomi's body and turned into silk threads wrapped around the hourglass.

  Anyway, I am destined to work for him until I cry, and I will definitely see him again.

 After saying this, Amber Xiu turned around and flew towards the direction of Manna City.

It was just a little emotion. Catherine quickly summoned her giant eagle and flew in another direction.

Amberxiu took a special look at the "Undead Sand Lizard" he had prepared. Sure enough, it was still lurking underground. Everything seemed to be going well.

After following Harvey for two days, these two beauties have already made a lot of money. The young mage in front of them is really young and rich, and it doesn't hurt at all to spend money. Harvey picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth. The wine was strong enough. After half the bottle, Harvey was seven points drunk. In the last stage of life, the most important thing is to be happy.

The strong wind stirred up sandstorms, setting off frenzied waves again and again, and then quickly subsided. In just a few seconds, the surrounding yellow sand rose and fell hundreds of times, and the sun and moon alternated like wheels, dizzyingly fast.

Amberxiu came to Manna City again. Although it only lasted less than half a day for him, for this city, the previous war was already several months ago.

 In normal times, Harvey would not want to deal with this kind of person, as it would easily cause trouble. But now that his death is approaching, he is willing to accept stimulation.

Harvey loosened his arms around the beautiful woman and asked curiously: "Almost no one knows about the prophecy school. How did you tell that?"

 Because it is too difficult to get started, this school has almost become an ancient legend. "Haha, let me introduce myself first. My name is Hasting, and I am an adventurer who has just arrived in Manna City. I have a commission here, and I need a prophecy mage like you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Hasting?" Harvey thought for a while and had no impression of the name, but his intuition told him that the name had something to do with him.

  Could it be that he is the "teammate" he saw in his prophecy?

The prophecy that Harvey saw was that he would go on an adventure with a team of people, and then be killed by an ambushed monster in the cave. After waiting for so long, is the prophecy finally going to come true?

 Harvey did not try to refuse the idea of ​​​​seeing what would happen. He had no desires and desires now, just waiting for death to come, without even the thought of struggling.

 After learning about the prophecy, Harvey spent half a month recording everything he could, and then persuaded the "Sawtooth Knife" to let the dying man go.

At first, the other party didn't believe it, but after Harvey accurately predicted the desert weather for several days and helped her catch the traitors in the tribe, Jagged Knife finally believed that Harvey could predict the future.

 Harvey left everything he had to the orc and began to enjoy the last part of his life.

 Now, what is supposed to come will come.

Harvey was about to agree, but suddenly he heard someone snort: "Don't listen to him, this Hastings specializes in tricking newcomers. The commission he accepted was to defeat the sand lizard, which is a legendary creature, but the commission fee was only three dollars. Qian, he can’t afford to hire you at all!”

Harvey followed the sound and saw a rather short masked man who was also wrapped in a cloak sitting in the corner of the tavern. It was this man who spoke just now.

 Harvey was a little confused. He was ready to accept his fate. Why did someone suddenly pop up to stop him from dying? Did you drink too much and have hallucinations?

 Strange, but interesting.

Harvey was going to see the play first, so he asked Hastings, "Really?"

Hasting said equally nonchalantly: "Half-truth, half-false, do you think he is trying to save you? Haha, this guy accepted the commission just like me, he just wanted to rob someone."

 Harvey looked at the dwarf and asked: "My friend, what do you say?"

Hasting interrupted directly and said: "I will pay one hundred gold coins. After completing the commission, the commission gold will be divided equally. Hareth, let me see how you can rob me?"

The dwarf named Harris didn't even look at the provocative Hastings. He walked up to Harvey and whispered: "Don't listen to this tall, stupid guy. What's the use of just bragging about the price? How dangerous is this mission? Everyone still has it." Don’t you know? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been hung up for so long without anyone answering. My friend, I have never thought about completing this task, but even if the task involving legendary creatures cannot be completed, I can still charge 10%. It’s a commission.”

Hares, the dwarf, took out a black disc and said to Harvey: "This is a sand lizard scale. After you team up with me, go around that place, and then use this to report, and say that we have fought with the sand lizard." , the three hundred gold coins were successfully put into the bag, and we will divide the bounty slowly, there is no danger at all. "

Harvey smiled and said: "Since you can use this thing in exchange for bounty, you can go alone. Why are you looking for teammates?"

Harris said mysteriously: "Don't you understand this? If I go to get the bounty by myself, won't others know that I'm cheating? That's a sand lizard, a legendary creature. I'll fight the sand lizard alone to survive. Come down, who can believe it? I have to find a few teammates and pretend to fight off the sand lizard. Don’t worry, I have found other teammates, and now I am missing a mage.”

Seeing the two people whispering, Hasting pulled Harvey aside roughly and said excitedly: "Don't listen to this guy, he is the liar. I promise to split the bounty equally with you. I have a way to deal with Sandy." Lizard, the chance of success is low. You are a prophecy mage, so you should know why I am looking for you."

These two people each have their own reasons. One seems to have low risk, but the return is also low, and the other seems to have high risk, but the return is also high.

 Harvey doesn’t care about the dangers and gains. What he cares about is, which of the two is his final destination?

When he died, who was standing by his side, and how could he reach the predetermined ending?

Harvey thought for a while, grabbed the gold coins on the gambling table and said to the two of them: "How about this? I'll give you money, and you two will cooperate with me to defeat this sand lizard."

Hasting and Hares were stunned for a moment. They never expected this result, but looking at the shining gold coins, they immediately agreed.

 Harvey happily put the gold coins into the hands of the two men, and then asked: "When will we set off?"

Hasting and Hareth said in unison: "Meet at the city gate in two hours."

 Harvey was stunned for a moment. Didn't the two of them have a grudge? How could they... subconsciously wanted to use lie detection, but he held back.

It doesn’t matter, it’s all destiny, why bother with these details?

 But soon, Harvey began to regret it.

 Because he waited at the city gate for five hours and did not see these two people show up.

The wind blew for a long time, and Harvey's alcohol smell finally dissipated for the most part. He thought to himself afterward: "I won't encounter a liar, right?"
