This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 30 Great Harvest

The hag lay on the ground laughing until she almost suffocated, but she was completely unable to escape the effect of the laughter spell. It was not until the druids tied the hag tightly with vines that Amberxiu lifted the spell.

It didn't last long, but the ghost woman's body was already severely damaged. She almost laughed her lungs out just now, and now her mouth is full of blood and she can't even speak.

The druids of the Golden Vine tribe stood warily at a distance. They did not dare to approach the powerful lich Amber Xiu, so they could only pull Naomi and ask carefully about the cause and effect.

Of course, Naomi would not hide it. She told Amber that she and Amber met in a tavern and then cooperated to rescue people in the sewer.

All the druids found it incredible when they heard this. It was simply unheard of for this druid to cooperate with the undead. According to Silvanus's deal, undead beings that subvert the balance of nature should be purified immediately.

 But the powerful druids of Amberxiu all see it, and if they take action now, they will definitely die.

 For the sake of Amberxiu saving them, this time, the gods’ teachings will not be implemented.

 This is what the druids convinced themselves.

Van Jones had a hard time accepting the fact that he was saved by the undead, and then began to teach Naomi a lesson.

 Collaborating with the undead does not count. Taking the risk to the sewers can be said to be Naomi's concern for everyone, but her appearance with the statue of Silvanus is a treasonous crime.

Van Jones said angrily: "Naomi, how dare you steal the statue! Do you know what the consequences will be. Even if all of us die here, it is not as important as the statue. What will happen if this artifact appears? If it fails, the entire Golden Vine tribe will be destroyed!"

Naomi said excitedly: "This is the order of the great elder. He asked me to take the statue away!"

 Van Jones asked in surprise: "How is it possible? The great elder is crazy?"

Naomi said, "The Great Elder must have seen the future again. Didn't we follow his orders this time?"

Van Jones originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but the Druid next to him quickly took his arm and glanced in the direction of Amber Xiu.

Van Jones quickly shut up. This kind of tribal secret is not suitable for debate now.

Amberxiu, however, paid no attention to this group of druids. He had just taken away several pieces of magic equipment from these customers. Enchanted rings, leather armor blessed with natural spells, and a magic short bow... these things together are almost enough for 10,000 gold coins.

 After receiving the money, Amberxiu had no interest in these druids at all.

He was now standing in front of Ranger Erha and said to him: "Look, you are saved now, entirely because of me. In terms of universal rationality, I am your savior, right?"

Erha nodded repeatedly. He wanted to trick the opponent before, but who would have thought that this lich could be so fierce. He was really deceived by lard, and he even wanted to take advantage of such a big shot.

Erha said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Lich, for saving me. I'm really grateful."

 “I am a lich, what do I want from your human gratitude? Let’s be practical.”

Amberxiu stretched out **** and rubbed them gently.

Erha understood this gesture very well, but he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lich, I am a poor man and I can't afford much money."

 “How many can there be?” Ambrose asked.

Erha took out his shriveled money bag. This was no longer a space money bag. When he opened it, he saw that there were only two gold coins and some scattered copper coins. "That's it?" Amberxiu said dissatisfied.

Erha said awkwardly: "Master Lich, we two brothers are poor and we really can't afford more money."

"That's it." Amberxiu said helplessly, "Okay, I see your skeleton is amazing, and it might be useful to make it into a skeleton."

When Erha heard this, he was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he quickly said: "No, no, no, I have money, but I just didn't bring it with me. We brothers can't afford a space wallet, but we have it at home, Mr. Lich." If you send us back, we will definitely send the money.”

Amberxiu was a little satisfied and said to Erha: "Look, I am not an unreasonable person. I collected 10,000 gold coins and saved six druids. You two brothers, I will charge you two druids each." A thousand gold coins as a thank you fee is not excessive, right?"

Erha clasped his fingers and said, "Sir, is there something wrong with the numbers? Six druids have 10,000 gold coins, each of whom is less than 2,000."

 “Have you never heard of rounding?” Amber Xiu asked back.

The fire of the soul in the skull's eye sockets is burning brightly, as if Erha will be turned into a skeleton in the next second. Erha said quickly: "I've heard it, I've heard it, I'm really good at mathematics."

 “Well, yes, he is a smart man. Come on, sign this IOU.”

Amberxiu took out a piece of parchment and wrote clearly the debts owed by Dahei and Erha. Even the interest after delaying the payment time was clearly listed, which was far from the usury standards stipulated by the Alchemy City. Just a little bit missing.

 No one can find fault with this contract.

Erha signed his name sadly, looked back at his unconscious brother, and said to Amber Xiu: "Master Lich, my brother is still unconscious, let me sign for him."

Amber Xiu said: "It's so troublesome."

 A ray of magic light fell on Dahei, and the thief with an afterthought expression quickly woke up.

Dahei was in a daze and shouted: "Goddess? Goddess, where are you?"

Just as the effect of the illusion faded, Dahei began to be in a daze. When he saw the hag tied tightly by vines, he vomited.

Seeing Dahei's painful expression, An Boxiu suggested: "I can forget the spell, three hundred gold coins once, to ensure that the specified memory is accurately deleted without causing any adverse effects. Do you want to use it?"

Dahei decisively signed the contract. Not to mention three hundred, he had to sell iron to get enough of the three thousand gold coins. Otherwise, he would have a psychological shadow for the rest of his life and may have permanent functional defects.

Amberxiu kept these contracts with satisfaction. He was not afraid that Dahei and Erha would not pay. He had plenty of ways to squeeze the bones out of these two evil adventurers.

 Next, Amberxiu took out the parchment and asked Naomi to draw the location of the slime gathering place on it. Now that this little girl has joined the tribe, it is unlikely that she will continue to act with Amber Xiu. Naturally, Naomi did not dare to violate the contract, and carefully drew the slime gathering places she knew before leaving with her tribe.

 After collecting all the valuables, Amber Xiu looked at the dying hag.

In this trip to the sewers, the most valuable thing was not the magic equipment or tens of thousands of gold coins, but the ugly monster in front of me.

Amberxiu walked up to the hag and said very seriously: "Now that we have time to chat, please tell me more about the prophecy of the sewer gods."
