This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 290 Priesthood and Negotiation

Eren couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Did he earn a magic-breaking sword of 200,000 gold coins in vain?

At first he thought he was under an illusion, until his finger was cut by the edge of the sword. The pain made Allen understand that this was definitely not an illusion.

There is no paladin who would not like such a long sword, which is much stronger than the standard long sword that Allen received in the army before.

Eren couldn't wait to swing the sword, carefully feeling the center of gravity and other details of the sword.

 After groping for a long time, I finally found the feel.

But at this time, Gareth left and came back. The headless horseman hooked his fingers at Allen and said, "New weapons need to be used in actual combat. Come on, let me help you."

Putting away his armor as before, Gareth was no longer bare-handed. He had a long knife wreathed in black flames in his hand.

Gareth held up his sword and said to Allen: "Come on, I haven't found a decent opponent for a long time."

The long knife turned into an afterimage and struck towards Allen. In Allen's eyes, the momentum of Gareth's sword was like a dragon falling from the sky, trying to tear him apart completely.

Melina turned to Amberxiu and said, "This sister is so beautiful!"

Amberxiu didn't care about this at all. Gareth probably hadn't fought a legendary powerhouse for a long time and he couldn't bear it anymore. After finally meeting Allen, he would rather give up most of his strength to have a good fight.

Catherine took Melina's hand and sat with her next to Amber Xiu. Melina was completely unable to think due to this hold, and her golden eyes that could see through all hiding began to turn pink.

Trouble solved, it's time to complete the main objective.

Melina, a silly child, was even more stunned when she saw her. She couldn't help but said directly: "What a beautiful person."

Amberxiu was placed in a small garden with a quiet environment. After waiting for more than two hours, he finally met Catherine.

  The battle in the grove was not fierce. Both of them had restrained their strength. It was just a simple contest of skills.

Amberson believed that Gareth would not kill Allen, and as long as he didn't die, it wouldn't matter.

 Catherine had heard so many compliments in her life, so she said calmly and gracefully: "You are also very beautiful. I am Catherine. What is your name?"

But Allen was not panicked. He turned his sword and faced Gareth's long knife.

Selling the priesthood of the drow race to the elves, hoping to exchange it for the blessings of the elven gods so that Amberxiu can become a **** with peace of mind.

This former Elf Queen is still so beautiful. Even though her clothes have become much simpler, she can still attract the hearts of the undead.

 “I...my name is Melina.”

Probably the elf king had given an order. When Amberxiu revealed his identity, the elf mayor was startled and quickly said that he would immediately pass on the news of Amberxiu's visit.

This ferocious power surprised Allen. In the previous contest, the headless horseman was just teasing a child.

There is only one undead person in the world who can make the elves be so polite.

Melina is not like a normal undead in terms of personal emotions. She is a bit sentimental and gets depressed because she is stupid. Faced with Catherine's undifferentiated super charm, her resistance is far worse than Amber's.

 “The name is really nice.”

This respectful attitude made Melina admire her father even more.

Amberxiu said helplessly: "I know."

Therefore, Amberxiu no longer cared about the situation in the grove, and walked towards the mayor's mansion in Huayun Town with Melina.

 But Melina’s next words frightened Amberxiu out of his wits.

Melina said excitedly: "Father, I want to marry her!"

"ah?!"

"ah?!"

The two surprised "Ah"s came from Amberxiu and Catherine respectively, but Amberxiu was shocked by Melina's terrifying speech. How dare she say such outrageous words, letting the Elf King know that he was going to War with the Underdark.

What surprised Catherine was not Melina's proposal. She had been confessed to by countless people of the same **** and opposite **** in her life, and even the good sisters she had grown up with couldn't hold back several times. So this kind of thing wouldn't surprise her. What really surprised her was that Melina called Amber Xiu "father".

Oh my God, lichs can also have children?

Amberxiu quickly said to Melina: "Silly child, you have been charmed. Close your eyes and calm down."

Melina hesitated for a moment, but still closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down as Amber Xiu said. The nature of the undead finally took over at this time, and Melina finally realized what outrageous words she had just said, and she suddenly didn't know where to put her hands.

 Luckily, Amber Xiu was here. He snapped his fingers and used illusion to completely wrap Melina up, ensuring that she could not see or hear.

Amberxiu then said to Catherine: "Listen to my advice and wear a mask when going out from now on. This is a good thing for passers-by."

 Catherine didn't care about this and asked very excitedly: "She is your daughter? Then who is her mother?"

 “What you have seen is the Rose Queen of the Underdark.” Umbershoe replied.

Catherine couldn't help but ask: "How long have you been married when your children are so old? You didn't tell me before?!" Catherine's tone sounded like she had been deceived, and she looked aggrieved.

Amberxiu felt that his bones had become a little soft, and no one could stand this look.

"Don't be like this, it's a misunderstanding. I have no special relationship with the Queen of Rose. We just cooperated to create an undead, which is Melina. The Queen of Rose created her body, and I was responsible for weaving her soul. So, we say It’s true that they have children, but we are not a couple, so please don’t put me on Ryan’s wanted list.”

Apoptotic Rose is the first one on Ryan's wanted list. Amber Xiu finally got off the list. If Ryan really regards him as Apoptotic Rose's husband, the new and old hatreds will add up and he will not be directly added to the wanted list. Two names.

 Catherine put away her aggrieved expression, but was still a little surprised.

“Is this how the undead give birth to children? Then whose surname is Melina?”

“Of course it’s with her mother. Don’t think she’s stupid, she’s the princess of the Underdark.”

"It's not stupid, she may just be too naive. The simpler and more naive she is, the closer she will be to me. She is just not used to this feeling, so she mistakenly thinks it is love."

Catherine looked like someone who had come before. Ambrose quickly interrupted her. He was not here to talk about such boring topics.

“Have you read my letter? Regarding the issue of priesthood, what do the elves and gods say?” Amberxiu asked.

Catherine also put away her joking expression. When she received Ambrose's letter before, she was very shocked. That was a priesthood!

How long has it been since we last seen each other? Why did Amberxiu kill even the gods, and it was Queen Rose of the Spiders!

Any high elf will hear his parents tell him since he was a child: "If you don't obey me, the Rose Spider Queen will send spiders to catch you!"

This is not a threat or a story. Children who are disobedient and run around will really be captured by the drow and then brutally sacrificed.

The drow are the mortal enemies of the high elves.

And Amber Xiu not only deceived the Rose Spider Queen, but also stripped out the most important drow racial priesthood.

Had she not met Amberxiu, Catherine would never have believed it, and would have regarded it as a story made up by a boring person to attract her own attention.

But Amberxiu is different. Since Catherine got to know him, although this lich often deceives people, when it comes to discussing business, he can always come up with the quotations he makes and will never say anything casually.

No matter what the process is, if Amberxiu said that he has this priesthood in his hands, it must be true.

 Therefore, Catherine immediately prayed to the elven gods, hoping to get a response from them.

Soon, Catherine got a clear reply - it was true, she agreed to the deal, but on another condition.

This signal is so clear that compared with the previous oracles, it can be said to be too simple and straightforward.

 Therefore, after Catherine reported the matter to the Elf King, she rushed to Huayun Town without any delay.

 “The gods are willing to trade with you, but the conditions need to be changed.” Catherine said to Ambrose.

Amberxiu said: "It doesn't sound like good news."

 Catherine was a little embarrassed. It was indeed not good news, but she could only convey the meaning of the gods: "Your first request, the gods cannot fulfill it for you. You cannot join the elf pantheon."

Amberxiu nodded. He had expected this.

 It is indeed a bit outrageous for the lich to join the elven pantheon.

"What about the protection of the gods? If they take away my priesthood, they have to pay something, right?"

“This is possible, but the gods say that they can only resolve the hatred of one of the gods for you.”

 “Only one?”

 “Yes, after all, what you entrust is just a priesthood.”

This news disappointed Umbersio very much. He had offended many gods. To be more recent, he had tricked the Rose Spider Queen, and Shar had also picked peaches by him. Going a step further, Lavita, the goddess of pain, is a mortal enemy of him, as well as Tiamat, the evil dragon goddess.

There are already four of them, not counting the Lord of the Dawn, the most troublesome opponent.

The four evil goddesses combined may not be able to defeat the Lord of the Dawn, but even if Amberxiu asks the elves to help to ensure that the Lord of the Dawn will not cause trouble to him, the remaining four together can still crush him.

"The priesthood of the drow race is of great significance to you elves, isn't it more than this price?"

Amberxiu is not someone to be fooled. This can be said of other clergy, but the drow priesthood has the potential to lift the division of the elves and become a big loving family again.

　　This offer from the elves and gods is a bit bullying.

"You are right, but it will take countless years to resolve the enmity between the gods. The gods are willing to block one of the enmities for you, and the price is also very high."

Amberxiu said helplessly: "You are very insincere. I'd better give this priesthood to Shar. I think she won't hold me responsible anymore after receiving this priesthood."

Catherine hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I knew you would not agree. The gods also gave a second plan. If you can help me regain the entire drow race, we are willing to help you solve the trouble of the four goddesses. "
