This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 273 The Lich who most hopes that Ryan will grow stronger

 The truth was revealed, and James Watson felt that his life had taken a major turning point.

 Everything I believed in before seemed to be sin covered with a veil of holy light.

Amberson's last words made James Watson think deeply. He once thought it was an artifact to protect Ryan, but it turned out to be a prop needed for the resurrection of the dragon tyrant.

If it could be exchanged, James Watson wouldn't mind giving away this dangerous thing called the Dragon Arms.

“Unfortunately, the Dragon Arms belong to the royal family. Even I, the Supreme Judgment, have no right to deal with them. This set of artifacts has been hidden deep in the palace, and no one except the royal family can touch it.”

 “Can’t you steal it and give it to me?”

 “Then why don’t I just rebel?”

“That’s okay, let’s make an appointment to meet outside.”

 “You’d better shut up, lich!”

Umbershoe believed that Arthur Lane was telling the truth. This hero never broke his promise.

 …

Everyone looked at Amberxiu strangely, why is this so important?

Amberxiu gave Arthur Lane a thumbs up and praised: "The Holy King is the Holy King, selfless. Unlike some people who discriminate against the undead with prejudice."

Amberxiu continued: "You have just seen that I can make souls out of ordinary materials. This is how my life boxes are made. Have you discovered the key to the problem?"

 “Foolish kid?!”

 He couldn't help but look at Arthur Lane's heroic spirit, let this holy king make the evaluation.

Even Arthur Lane’s heroic spirit did not agree with such drastic measures, and said that if Ambrose wanted to use him to split Lane, he would hide in this hourglass for the rest of his life.

"The key point has been made. If the undead eat the meat of livestock instead, there will be no conflict with humans. Because if they need souls, they can buy them from me. They can obtain souls and flesh and blood without killing humans. Are there any conflicts between the undead and you?"

James Watson said: "You'd better get to the point quickly. I don't have much time to stay here. I need to get back to Lane as soon as possible."

James Watson wanted to refute, but when he thought that Amberxiu was a lich who had lived for hundreds of years, and he was a human who was less than a hundred years old... he could only endure it.

Amberxiu sighed and explained: "Why do you all regard me as a villain? I am the one who least wants Ryan to be destroyed."

Amberxiu said even more disdainfully: "You, a little kid who was deceived by the descendants of the demon dragon, can't understand my big picture. It's normal. I don't blame you."

 In his own words, if the royal family continues to fall, the hundreds of millions of people in Lane will be innocent.

Seeing that none of these three noble people responded, Amberxiu could only continue to explain: "Isn't the reason why the undead are so evil because they crave flesh and soul?

"Let's not talk about flesh and blood. Humans also eat the meat of livestock. This is not a problem. The undead do not have to eat human flesh. As long as they eat livestock meat instead, it doesn't matter whether they are eaten raw or not by the paladin. wrong?"

Even though Umberthew gave James Watson a shocking truth, the Supreme Judge still seemed unwilling to betray Ryan.

 James Watson was too lazy to refute this statement. He just wanted to know what the "key" of Amber Shugang was.

Arthur Lane said without hesitation: "Of course, no matter how philanthropic the Holy Light is, it cannot make people stop eating meat."

 James Watson was stunned by these words. He could have refuted it without hesitation. It seemed to make some sense, but he had just experienced a wave of reshaping of his outlook on life, and now he was a little hesitant to express his opinions randomly.

Once James Watson raises the flag of rebellion, Lane will definitely fall into division, and other kingdoms will definitely take advantage of it, and too many people will die by then.

James Watson said disdainfully: "If you say this, do you think we will believe it?"

James Watson retorted: "They can also buy souls from you now, why not buy it? Because they are cruel and evil by nature, and they must murder living people to feel satisfied..."

“Wrong, because living slaves are cheaper.”

James Watson was really stunned this time. He never expected this result.

Amberxiu glanced at James Watson with disdain and continued: "Of course the undead are naturally cruel and evil, but this has never been the key issue. A very simple example is that humans need laws to limit their behavior, which is to use punishment. With the price, human beings are forced to choose law. "Even if everyone in the Lane believes in the Lord of the Dawn, when have the criminals in the country disappeared? A friend of mine became an undead because he was betrayed and killed by the Lane people many years ago. You should remember the name Gareth, right? "

 James Watson shut his mouth.

This name is Ryan's eternal pillar of shame. The process was exactly as Ambersho said. A power-hungry officer framed his comrades, took the credit of the other party, and killed Gareth.

Later, Gareth transformed into a headless horseman and returned to Lane to kill all the officer's descendants.

This incident caused an uproar in Lane. The paladin legion they sent out to hunt down the Headless Horseman suffered heavy casualties, and in the end they were run away by the Headless Horseman.

 Later, the headless horseman appeared in the Alchemy City, adding new shame to Ryan.

But no matter what the crime of this undead was, it could not change the fact that he was framed, and the person who framed him did get a reward in Lane and established a family of his own.

James Watson can make many excuses. For example, the legion has just surrendered and has not yet completely converted to the Holy Light. It can also be said that the mistake made at that time has been corrected. Ryan did not hide this mistake, but chose to help Gareth. Revealing the truth... But after saying all that, it meant nothing to Gareth.

Whether delayed justice counts as justice needs to be evaluated by the parties themselves. Gareth obviously does not recognize this kind of justice.

James Watson felt that he was getting more and more confused. Why was it that when a priest of light argued with a lich, he was the one at the moral disadvantage?

An Boxiu took advantage of the victory and continued: "Now you should understand that rules are the key to restricting evil deeds. Everyone has the nature to do evil, and they only follow the rules because they are restricted by rules. The same is true for the undead, even if we have innate Evil, but if the behavior of the undead can be restricted, they will not be much different from humans.

"Ryan did a good job. Your strength greatly restricted the movements of the undead, making it difficult for them to kill them at will. But unfortunately, the strength was not enough. Here in the Alchemy City, a human slave only costs dozens of copper coins. The price of a drink in a tavern. At this price, who would ask me to buy a virtual soul that is close to the price of a silver coin?

“If the rules are not strong enough and the cost is lower, then the undead will naturally choose to kill humans. Just like you humans choose lower-cost materials when doing business, there is no difference between us.

"So now you understand, I most hope that Ryan's rules will cover the entire continent, then they can only buy souls from me. In this way, you will get a group of undead who abide by the rules, and I will get the market. Do you think this is a win-win situation?”

After Amberxiu said this, the three people present showed the same surprised expression. A lich said that he hoped that Ryan would grow stronger. It was obviously such an irrational thing, but when it came out of Amber Xiu's mouth, it was so logical. But everyone knows that the Lich is obsessed with money, so what he said is "true and reasonable."

The old Elf King couldn't help but sigh: "Don't come to Silvermoon Highgarden anymore."

 If he comes two more times, I'm afraid the whole kingdom will be deceived by him and go bankrupt.

Amberxiu ignored this little incident and continued: "So, now you have to understand my position. I want Ryan to grow stronger, and I don't want you to be divided internally and then completely collapse. That will lead to the carnival of the undead, so that But because of this, how long can you maintain the unity of Ryan? In your opinion, how long is it before internal division?"

 James Watson thought for a moment, and then said: "If everything goes well, Lane can last at least a hundred years. But if there is a little surprise, I'm afraid collapse is around the corner."

 The success James Watson mentioned naturally refers to military success.

If Lane can digest half of the dwarf desert, and can hold the line on the orc side, and if other kingdoms do not attack him, then Lane may really be able to continue to maintain his position.

 After all, the Lane royal family has fallen again, and the system established by Arthur Lane during his lifetime is still functioning.

The royal family cannot continue to live, and power must be distributed to the supreme judge and important ministers in other departments. The royal family seems to only have the right to enjoy it, and has no way to act arbitrarily.

In addition, the top leaders of Ryan are all "upright people" recognized by the Holy Light. The strength of this kingdom is not unreasonable.

 However, once the war is lost, many problems will arise.

 As can be seen from the death of the Silver Moon Knight, Ryan's army has also shown signs of decay. The death of a hero does not inspire young people to be motivated, but demoralizes them. If there are more defeats, this atmosphere of decadence will in turn spread into the country. Once people's hearts are broken, collapse will come quickly.

"So, I have a suggestion." Amberxiu stood up, as if this was the most important thing he said: "James, go back and be prepared. No matter how much you and I don't want Ryan to be destroyed, Ryan's Split is inevitable, the sooner Ryan prepares, the less he will lose."

 A lich thought deeply about Ryan's future, and James Watson felt that the world was crazy. But he still acknowledged what Ambrose said and responded: "I will definitely be prepared."

"Alas, the current Ryan is not qualified to let His Majesty return. I will return to China and do what I should do. I believe that the future Ryan will be qualified to make Your Majesty proud."

James Watson felt that he could no longer stay here and hurriedly said goodbye to the old Elf King.

Amberxiu didn't stop him either. If this man couldn't get the magic dragon weapon, there was nothing to talk about. The value of Arthur Lane's spirit couldn't really be measured in gold coins.

 The meeting dispersed, everyone had different thoughts.

Amberson waited until he was alone, took out the Code of the Undead and wrote: [Friends, I just instigated the rebellion of Ryan's Supreme Judgment! 】
