This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 29: Prophecy of Becoming a God

 “How many gold coins can you offer?”

When Amberxiu asked this question, not only Naomi was stunned, but even the hag didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and it took her a long time to react.

The hag said excitedly: "You want money? OK, I can give you five thousand gold coins!"

Naomi's heart was tight, would this lich break the contract for five thousand gold coins?

 Probably not, after all, they had discussed 10,000 gold coins before, and the druid gave more.

As expected, Amberxiu did not agree, but he said to the hag: "It's only five thousand, it's not enough. The druid offered me a price of fifty thousand gold coins."

Naomi:…

 The self-comfort just now is completely meaningless now. This lich has the kind of character that comes when he opens his mouth!

The hag was also shocked. The price of 50,000 gold coins was too outrageous. Killing all these druids and selling their skins and flesh wouldn't even be worth 50,000.

“Oh, hehe, this lich is more deceitful than a hag. I don’t want to waste my time with you. The only gold coins I can get are 20,000. It’s a fixed price. Can we make a deal?!”

 The hag’s offer once again frightened Naomi, which was already double her price.

With the character of this lich, maybe he will actually agree.

As if to prove Naomi's worries, Amberxiu suddenly turned around and waved his staff towards Naomi.

Before Naomi could react, she felt the statue of Silvanus being snatched away from her hand.

 Look carefully, it is a luminous arm suspended in mid-air.

 Mage's Hand, like Ice Ray, is a very basic spell that almost everyone knows. But it's really not that easy to perform it as fast as Amber Xiu did.

Naomi was inexperienced after all. Unexpectedly, Amberxiu would change his mind faster than flipping through a book. The statue of Silvanus had just been snatched away, and Amberxiu's next spell fell on her.

The dark red light formed a huge cage, trapping Naomi in it. The Druid girl found that she couldn't even move her fingers.

 Human Immobilization, this is a relatively high-level spell that has special effects on humanoid creatures. Until the effect of the spell ends, Naomi will remain in this state of being at the mercy of others.

After doing this, Amberxiu turned to look in the direction of the hag and said to her: "Pay the money with one hand and the person with the other. By the way, I want to take away the statue of Silvanus."

The hag made a weird laugh, and a mutated mouse walked out of the darkness, with a small money bag on its back. It was obvious that this was another space bag.

Amberxiu carefully controlled the mage's hand to grab the money bag, and after repeatedly checking to make sure there were no magic traps, he opened the bag and checked it with peace of mind.

Soon, Amber Xiu frowned and said, "Why is it only more than 18,000 gold coins?"

The ghost woman said angrily: "My space pocket is worth at least three to four thousand gold coins. How dare you count two thousand gold coins with me?!"

Amberxiu said: "Okay, I will suffer a little loss and give you a discount."

The hag was almost angry to death by Amber Xiu. This lich was really shameless for money. If she couldn't beat her, she would definitely tear this lich down and make it into a toilet.

The transaction between the hag and Amberxiu was clearly seen by the druids in the illusion. The black-skinned Druid Van Jones saw Naomi being immobilized by Amberxiu's spell, and his fists clenched loudly.

It is a pity that Van Jones can do nothing at all and can only hope in his heart: "The undead are indeed despicable and evil things! Your Majesty, Silvanus, please save your believers!"

However, the gods did not seem to pay attention to the prayers of several little druids. Amberxiu and the hag still stood there fine, without suffering any punishment from the gods.

But after Amberxiu collected the money bag, he did not rush to hand Naomi over. Instead, he asked slowly: "The Alchemy City has been really lively recently. The paladins of the Lion Empire came to this sewer, and the druids came to this sewer." Sewers, even ghosts like you go to the sewers...Why are you here? What's the benefit of this poor place?"

The hag replied casually: "Don't you know? With your power, you are considered a big shot among the undead. Haven't you heard of the prophecy? The sewers of the Alchemy City contain the secrets of the gods. As long as you find it, Can be promoted to god."

"ha?"

Amberxiu seemed to have heard some big joke. Can he become a **** in this poor place?

Hearing the disdain in Amberxiu's tone, the ghost woman said angrily: "Do you think this is fake?" Amberxiu did not answer, but changed the subject and said: "Then have you found any clues to becoming a god? "

The hag sneered and said, "Even if there were, would I tell you? Even if I told you, would you believe it?"

Amberxiu nodded and said, "That makes sense. It seems there is nothing to ask."

When the ghost woman heard Amber Xiu's words, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The strong sense of crisis made her body stiffen.

 Obviously she was in darkness, and she had already prepared the teleportation spell. The ghost woman is not good at other places, but her escape ability is definitely the strongest, otherwise how could such a cruel monster live for a long time.

Although she didn’t know where the crisis came from, the ghost woman still decisively chose to run away.

 The teleportation spell has been prepared for a long time, and now it can be cast with just a thought. This spell can allow the hag to randomly teleport hundreds of meters away. In this sewer with complex terrain, even if it is only teleported ten meters, it may be separated by several walls, which is enough for the hag to escape smoothly.

However, just after the teleportation spell was cast, the ghost woman was shocked to find that she appeared in front of Amber Xiu, and the distance between the two was less than ten meters.

"How can it be!"

 A random location within a radius of several hundred meters was delivered right in front of the enemy?

The hag was startled, but immediately cast a second teleportation spell. The ghost woman's understanding of teleportation is unparalleled. When she uses it continuously, it is still very smooth, and there is almost no pause.

 However, this teleportation shocked the ghost woman again, because this time she flashed in place, moving less than one meter.

Amberxiu floated quietly in front of the hag, and then saw the hag teleporting like crazy, but the result of each teleportation was the same.

The hag said in shock: "The spell to replace the result, you, you are a mage of the prophecy school?!"

Amberxiu said approvingly: "It's rare that there are still people who remember the prophecy school. I thought this school had been submerged in the long river of time."

 The hag knew that she was in big trouble. The teleportation spell had lost its effect and she couldn't escape at all. The only way now is to fight hard.

Just when the hag was about to use attack magic on Amberxiu, the magical light from Amberxiu's staff had already fallen on the hag.

 The next second, she seemed to be stimulated by something and began to laugh uncontrollably.

This laughter was extremely unpleasant, but the hag couldn't stop.

In just a few seconds, the ghost woman laughed until she doubled over, laughed until she coughed, and laughed until bloodshot eyes almost appeared in her lungs and throat. In the end, she couldn't even stand and could only lie down and roll on the dirty ground.

Tasha's Laughing Spell is a very common control spell. After hitting it, the target will fall into uncontrollable laughter and can no longer do any other action except laughing.

 After Amberxiu cast the Laughing Technique on the hag, the light of the Holding Technique on Naomi also dissipated.

Amberxiu said to the confused Naomi: "Okay, the hag is now under my control, and your people should be safe too."

Naomi stared at Amberxiu blankly, unable to tell what was true and what was false.

"Why are you in a daze? Do you really think I will break the contract?" Ambrose explained.

"But you took her gold coins and I haven't paid yet..." Naomi said softly.

Amber Xiu said proudly: "Hahaha, you think I can't get these gold coins if she doesn't pay? Innocent little girl, if you kill this hag, the gold coins will still be mine. I'm just trying to trick her, I want to know this It’s just a sewer secret.”

Naomi felt that her outlook on life had been greatly impacted in a short period of time. The world was so terrible, and she wanted to return to the tribe.
