This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 253 Melina’s Acting Skills

Shortly afterwards, there was a violent explosion in this gorgeous palace, and the loud noise spread hundreds of kilometers underground.

During this explosion, many slaves enslaved by the Undead Queen took the opportunity to escape.

 Amberson and Melina were among these slaves.

This is the first lesson Amberxiu taught Melina. If you want to deceive people, prepare all the details.

This is not a meaningless character play like the Elf Queen, but every source of identity must be closely related and targeted.

 If he just claimed to be a runaway slave, outsiders would not believe him.

 Only when there is a problem on the Queen of the Undead's side and a large number of runaway slaves really appear, there will be no problem with the identities of Amberxiu and Melina.

 There were many slaves who ran out together, including dwarves, drows, underground dwarves, some myconids and rare races.

This explosion was like exploding an ant nest. The undead were busy repairing the palace and had no time to care about these slaves.

This kind of escape is reasonable and no one can find any flaws.

"No one will care about what is delivered to the door. All we have to do is let them come to us. What we have to do now is not to find the group of rebellious drow, but to recover these scattered slaves. When we have enough power, the rebels will come to us to discuss cooperation. "

"If you try your luck like this, how can you be sure that those spider-shaped drow will jump out and invite you to join them instead of jumping out and eating you? Even if you are a female drow with a high status, they may eat me if they don't eat you. In this way, won’t your identity be exposed?”

Melina thought for a moment, and then said: "I remember which corridors they appeared in, maybe I can try my luck."

But fortunately, Amberxiu reminded them in time: "Tell these slaves, if you don't want to die, don't run around. Only by hugging together can you have a chance of survival."

"Understood? It depends on your ability. Recover these slaves and let them follow you." Amberxiu said.

 The truth is a big fist. It doesn’t matter whether you poison, assassinate or kill. This is drow.

Melina was immediately confused after hearing this explanation.

 Amberson rejected this suggestion.

“Oh! So it can be like this!” Melina was extremely shocked. She had never thought of this method at all.

 She is not very good at using her brain, but she is very professional when doing it.

Amberxiu answered decisively. The easiest way to recover the slaves is to take action. This is also in line with the drow's character.

Even without a mount and a lance, Melina could still use her fists to beat up a large group of slaves who were fleeing in panic.

 “That’s right.”

 How can you get in among those people if you don’t look for them yourself?

 You can’t let those people come here on their own, right?

 However, Amberxiu's next words made Melina see the difference in IQ.

　　It turns out that the previous bombing of the palace and sending away a large number of slaves was not only to shape their identity, but also for a second reason.

 With Amberxiu's consent, Melina felt excited that it was finally her turn to perform.

 But after beating them, Melina was stuck and didn't know what to say when she looked at the slaves who looked at her with "Why did you beat me?"

"How can we recover this... and beat them up?"

“Father, how do we find the mastermind now?” Melina asked Amberxiu through soul resonance.

Fortunately, Melina was not really stupid. She did not repeat word for word, but said in her own words: "Stupid waste, this is the Dark Territory. Don't you guys know what danger is? They ran separately, and the result was just They will die miserably, and only by staying together can they survive.”

Amberxiu did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

The slaves were thoughtful after hearing this.

They are all locals. There are indeed many dangers in the Underdark, but if they stick together, wouldn't they be waiting for the undead to chase them?

　　One drow spoke up and said: "If we run away separately, we may die, but if we get together, we will be dead if the undead catch up."

Melina was thinking about how to refute, but Amberxiu said: "Break his legs. You are a female drow. If a male drow dares to refute, his legs should be broken!"

Melina didn't hesitate at all to Amberxiu's order and walked towards the drow step by step.

The drow also knew that he had said the wrong thing. In his excitement just now, he forgot that he was facing a female drow.

He quickly lay down on the ground and said tremblingly: "Dear Sir, I was wrong, please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend, please forgive me." Melina didn't hesitate at all, walked up to the drow elf, One step broke his calf.

The drow let out a howl, but this time without Amberxiu's reminder, Melina had already slapped him and knocked him unconscious.

Amberxiu's voice rang in Melina's mind again: "Tell these slaves that most of the low-level undead are mentally retarded. As long as you drop a half-dead one every once in a while, you can slow down the pursuers. "

Melina continued to repeat, her tone becoming cold and ruthless, and she had unknowingly fallen into the drama.

  Undead are still on the evil side after all, and playing as a drow is much easier than playing as a paladin.

 Hearing Melina's cruel words, these slaves did not panic, but felt that what she said made sense.

This is the Underdark. Most of the races are cruel and selfish. It is nothing to throw out bait to delay the pursuers. This is far from reaching their moral bottom line. What's more, most of the dozens of slaves here are drow, and morality does not exist for them.

Melina's plan quickly gained their approval, and the slave team united easily.

Melina wasn’t kidding, she literally broke a slave’s legs every few kilometers, knocked him unconscious and threw him to the side of the road.

And after running for who knows how many kilometers, the smell of the undead can hardly be smelled anymore, and the pursuers under the banner of the black rose have not appeared.

Everyone thinks this is due to Melina. This female drow is really such a leader.

Melina was also very excited. Not long after she ran out, she had a group of subordinates? This is too simple. It is only a matter of time before the masterminds are tricked and killed.

But before Melina could be excited for long, a drow humbly came to Melina while everyone was resting and asked: "Dear Sir, we are far away from the mercury city now, but Where are we going next? We are all exhausted. We not only need rest, but also food and water."

Melina thought for a while and asked Amberxiu in her mind: "Father, what should we do now? We have no food. We can't kill a drow and roast it, right?"

Amberxiu wanted to roll his eyes. This kid was so into the show just now, but now he showed his undead nature. Although drow are cruel, they don’t eat their own kind. Male drow will only be sacrificed to the Lolthreads or sent to be fed to the spiders, rather than being eaten in pieces.

"Melina, what is our purpose? It is to get the rebels to come closer to us, not to care about the life or death of this group of drow. What you have to do now is not to consider this group of people at all, but to find ways to delay time. , until the rebels came to the door. Why are we looking for food? Why should we be led by this drow problem? "

“But, shouldn’t I answer?” Melina asked doubtfully.

“Ask him back. This guy is just here to gain a sense of presence. He won’t ask questions that he doesn’t have answers to. Just ask him back and you will know.”

Melina was still thinking about the meaning of these words and was lost in thought. The drow elf could not hear the soul dialogue between the father and daughter. She thought that her words made the drow lady think, so she quickly took the opportunity to say: "My lord , I know there is a very weak myconid tribe here, we can occupy their territory! We have food and shelter!"

Melina said in surprise: "Are you serious?"

It is exactly what his father said. This drow comes from Q&A. It is indeed insidious.

The drow said excitedly: "Of course, I swear to the Spider Queen, it is absolutely true, otherwise I will die from the spider's mouth!"

 The reason why he mustered up the courage to talk to Melina was because he knew the surrounding environment and hoped to win the favor of this drow master.

Male drow always want to be attached to a powerful female drow. This is their habit and nature.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Melina slapped him in the face, causing half of his face to become swollen, and roared: "You would have asked me if you knew this, do you want me to make a fool of myself?!"

The drow covered half of his face, knelt on the ground humbly, vomited blood and said, "No, no, no, sir, I was wrong. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me. I really didn't dare."

Amberxiu secretly admired that Melina has entered the drama again. This child is a great talent.

There is no doubt that Melina's performance once again consolidated her leadership status, letting these slaves know that they were following a violent but powerful leader. She can beat all the slaves to the ground by herself, and she doesn't like those subordinates who are playing tricks. Only by remembering these two points can you live well under the command of this female drow.

 Under such iron-fisted rule, these unarmed slaves lost their fear of the coming battle.

How can the myconids be as scary as this Lord Drow?

The next battle is really simple. Just like what the drow who was slapped in the face said, this myconid tribe is very weak, with less than thirty people old and young combined. Where are these vicious slaves? Opponent, Melina alone can sweep the tribe away.

The battle ended quickly, but the myconid tribe did not suffer much damage, because there was another myconid in this group of slaves. After showing their strength, this group of myconids immediately surrendered and took away all the food in the tribe. Contribute.

 After the battle, Melina no longer asked Amberxiu what to do next.

 Because her right eye had already seen the spider drow hiding in the shadows, and the group of rebels had found them.
