This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 313 The so-called noble glory

 Ambrose and Mr. Fortune, two hundred-year-old guys, were walking on the street.

Looking at the huge statue from a distance, Mr. Fortune began to sigh: "Remember, when I brought you to the royal capital, you were shocked by the statue of Arthur Lane, and you vowed to become like Arthur Lane. 's hero."

Amberxiu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I thought there were some pretty girls in the orchestra, so I wanted to attract their attention."

Mr. Fortune:…

 The **** lich has painted the memory with a touch of gray.

The two of them passed by the huge square, where a hundred-member orchestra was playing with all their heart.

Amberxiu can sense that there is something special about the surrounding air, which seems to form an invisible echo barrier, ensuring that the sound of public performances can be heard clearly and without loss by the people around him.

Amberxiu said in surprise: "The orchestra conductor is a mage. He is the one who controls the surrounding air walls. I didn't realize this at the time."

“You and I were both apprentices of magicians back then. The oath you swore at that time may have been false, but I was true. I wanted to save this country and wash away the unclean name of the usurper for my ancestors.”

Mr. Fortune was also very emotional. Although he could see this square, this statue, and hear these endless carols for most of the rest of his life, this was the second time that he stood with Amber Xiu after so many years. it's here.

Mr. Fortune opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing how to refute.

“Just think that I am here for these tens of millions of tieflings. As I said before, saving the world should be rewarded. I don’t want to be the king of your tieflings, just give me money.”

Amberxiu chuckled and said: "If I were a tiefling, would I want thirteen normal people to rule this kingdom in the form of a parliament, or would I want a three-year-old child to be arbitrary and tyrannical because his father is a hero?"

Mr. Fortune looked at Amberxiu, but couldn't see any expression on the lich's face.

"Yes, most people recognize that praise is considered honorable. Let me ask you, how many people in the entire Tiefling Kingdom recognize the rule of the Injustice Council? How many people really think that a three-year-old child should Is the king more worthy of praise? We predict that mages are the best at calculations. Do you dare to make a bet with me and figure out which side has more people agreeing with it?"

In the end, he could only sigh and say: "Then come with me. It's almost time to go."

Amberson followed Mr. Fortune, left the caroling square, and walked all the way towards the largest building.

Mr. Fortune retorted: "The glory of our fathers should bless our descendants. Otherwise, what is the point of working hard to win these honors and wealth?"

Mr. Fortune was stunned for a moment, and then said: "None of the thirteen unclean ones contributed in the battle against the dragon. They were just cowards hiding behind, but in the end they got the right to rule the entire kingdom, even the blood of the hero. They all disappeared, isn’t that wrong?”

Mr. Fortune said angrily: "You! This is blasphemy! I didn't expect that after so many years, not only did you not get better at all, but you got worse. No wonder you turned into a lich!"

Since the complete demise of the Unholy Song royal family, the original palace has been transformed into the Unjust Parliament. Although the entire Parliament only has thirteen members, this place is big enough to live in for tens of thousands of people.

That's all he would say to his old friend Amberxiu. If it were anyone else, Amberxiu would only say "Ah, right, right, right."

"Your meaning, just stay in your family. Monetary rewards, territorial rewards, and even a few sets of artifacts, but don't use national events as glorious rewards. The hero did save the world, but let him If a three-year-old child becomes king, are you going to cause harm to the people he is going to save again?”

Amberxiu asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Mr. Fortune nodded and said, "Yes, our ancestors have felt guilty all their lives for taking away the honor that should have belonged to heroes. The ideal of everyone in our family is to make up for the mistakes of our ancestors."

　　One of the high-spirited young men has now turned into a lich, and the other has turned gray-haired.

After hearing what Amberxiu said, Mr. Fortune was silent for a long time and asked: "Then why do you want to help me? Don't tell me because we are friends, I will definitely not believe it."

"Uladimir, the so-called glory of the nobility is only something that the small circle is happy with. Don't force everyone to accept it, okay? More than a thousand years have passed. Even if the original hero left full glory, it would have taken so long. It’s all deducted. In my opinion, it is just for thirteen normal people to make decisions for a child, but now it seems that these thirteen people have also fallen.”

Mr. Doom said disdainfully: "What's the point of sophistry? Only actions that are recognized and praised by the majority of people are considered honorable. If everyone thinks that massacre is just, you might as well ask why this is the case. Substitute the concept There’s no point in arguing, we’re not kids anymore!”

Umbershoe looked up at the statue of Arthur Lane and said to Mr. Fortune: "I remember that your ancestor was one of the original thirteen unclean ones, and later gave up his seat, right?"

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "This is the reason why we couldn't reach an agreement in the end. Senior brother, your ambition is not to benefit all people. Your ambition is to restore the glory of the family. Once massacre is considered an honor, you will not Do it with mercy.”

 Unclean people are nominally required to break away from their families and live in this huge building complex. Domino Lawley, as one of the thirteen unclean people, usually lives here.

There are still twenty minutes before her time for afternoon tea. Mr. Fortune has quickened his pace and leads Amber Xiu along the way.

Just like before, no guard could see the two of them, and the infiltration this time was extremely smooth.

Amberxiu is becoming more and more envious of Mr. Fortune’s ability. The thread of fate is completely different from the Dice of Destiny, and it seems to be much easier to use. It's a pity that Amberxiu can't learn it. This is not his path.

Perhaps Harvey can combine the strengths of both families, but it will take a few more years before he grows up.

The two of them passed through countless corridors and arches, and finally came to an exquisite small garden.

Domino Lawley was sitting in the garden at this time, quietly sipping black tea.

Amberson looked at this legendary tiefling. By the standards of a female tiefling, Domino Lawley looked very tall, probably close to two meters tall, including the horns on her head.

He is indeed a former Hell Knight. He followed Zariel to fight in Hell. Without any skills, he would never come back.

However, as a knight, turned into an alchemist halfway, and achieved achievements recognized by the alchemy city, this woman is really not an ordinary person, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to call her a genius.

Now Domino Lawley has taken off her armor for a long time. She is wearing a special evening dress, which makes her tall body look somewhat charming. In addition, she has a good-looking face, which is quite tasteful. A lady, the best among mature women.

 You can tell at a glance that you have taken youth potions regularly. There are many clear wrinkles on your palms, but your face looks young. This is a typical sign that the effect of youth potions has begun to weaken.

This thing is drug-resistant. Depending on the individual's constitution, the first bottle can restore youth for fifty years, the second bottle can restore youth for forty-nine years, and another person may only restore youth for thirty years. Before Amberxiu transformed into a lich, he had to take a bottle of youth potion every year. The figure of 500,000 a year really made him collapse.

As drug resistance increases, the youth potion may only be partially restored. This Domino Lawley's face is very young, at most thirty years old, but the wrinkles on his hands are at least fifty or sixty years old. This is a typical drug. If you drink too much, you won’t be able to cover your hands with the effects of the medicine.

Mr. Fortune said to Ambrose: "Don't get closer. Domino Lawley is too entangled with me. If we get closer, the broken thread of fate will heal quickly, and she will find us."

Now the two of them are about thirty meters away from Domino Lawley. If they want to cast spells, this distance is enough.

Amberxiu said to Mr. Fortune: "Just wait here."

"What are you going to do?" Mr. Fortune said worriedly. Once the thread of fate heals, their invisibility effect will disappear. This is the royal capital of Unclean Ode. He is still a wanted criminal. Once discovered, it will be really over.

 “Calm down, I’ll go talk to her, but not here.”

Amberxiu walked towards Domino Lawley alone, approaching step by step, and soon shortened the distance to twenty meters, ten meters... This distance should have disabled the invisibility effect long ago, but for some reason, Domino Lawley Li was still enjoying his afternoon tea quietly, not noticing Amberxiu's presence at all.

Layla’s true illusion is a powerful spell that can deceive even the gods. Hell Knight and Alchemist are not professions with strong perception, and they are completely unable to detect the existence of Amber Xiu.

Mr. Fortune just watched helplessly as Amberxiu summoned a large number of dice of fate and hit Domino Lawley on his body.

  The Dice of Destiny can only be seen by the Divination Mage. This invisible and colorless attack does not even affect the air.

Domino Lawley was the same. He was completely unaware and was hit by the dice of fate everywhere on his body.

 Then, Amberxiu took out a small bottle and sprinkled some gray-black powder into Domino Lawley's cup.

 After doing all this, Amberxiu returned to Mr. Fortune.

Mr. Fortune said excitedly: "What did you do? You poisoned her?!"

Amberxiu laughed and said: "You are so nervous, and you still say that she is not your old lover?"

Mr. Fortune blushed and explained: "No, I have nothing to do with her. She is one of the original thirteen unclean ones, and she is more than a thousand years older than me!"

“I understand, you like mature older sisters, right? It’s normal, I understand.”

 “You bastard, what on earth did you do?! What fate did your die of destiny set for her?!”

Amberxiu patted Mr. Fortune on the shoulder and said, "What's the hurry? I just made her magic defense equipment malfunction for a few seconds. The magic circle was worn out and I forgot to recharge it. I've done all these things again." . After all, what if she has some testing equipment on her body?"

“What drug did you give her?”

"Don't be nervous, just let her have a good sleep." Amberxiu took out the gray-black powder and said to Mr. Fortune: "Come on, Vladimir, let's meet her in her dream!"
