This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 371 Lord of the Dragon Tomb

Although they are both ghost ships, Ai Ge’s body feels a little different when sailing in the sea.

 Other ghost ships rely on a large number of ghosts to provide power, and they also have to separate the sea water to move forward. According to Amber Xiu's understanding, ghost ships can briefly turn into nothingness and avoid attacks. This ability is very short-lived, only about three to five seconds, and the number of times it can be used is also limited.

 But Ai Ge is different. Her body can always remain in a state of nothingness, with only a translucent shadow sneaking in the dark seabed.

 It cannot be seen or touched clearly, and it completely ignores the influence of sea water, so it can sneak very fast.

Moreover, not only the ghost ship itself, but also everyone and items sitting on the ship will enter a state of nothingness at the same time.

“Is your ship no longer in the main material plane?” Amberxiu asked.

Ai Ge smiled and explained: "I can't say the principle, but I can sail to wherever I want. This may be the blessing my father left me."

The old shipwright regarded the Ege he built as his daughter. His dying wish was that the ship could sail to every corner of the sea.

It is precisely because of this strong desire that his soul became the nutrient for the birth of Ai Ge, turning the ship into a ghost ship.

Ai Ge drifted aimlessly like this for a long time. Living beings were constantly attracted to the ghost ship, and then died on the ship. Infused with these flesh and blood, Ai Ge finally had her own consciousness. When she became an independent intelligent life, , the Codex of the Dead appeared on her ship.

 But it still took her many years to learn how to write and understand the use of the Code of the Undead.

 Aige is not smart enough, but she is powerful enough. This ghost ship can really sail to any corner of the sea.

No matter whether it is rocks, submarine volcanoes, or those giant sea beasts blocking the way, they will not have any impact on the ghost ship.

And if these sea monsters do not know whether to live or die, extending their tentacles or opening their mouths to attack Aige's ship, their bodies will quickly die under the corrosion of dark magic.

Amberxiu watched as the giant octopus with a sucker bigger than his head rotted into mud bit by bit, and then was quickly sucked in by the ghost ship, leaving no bones behind.

 Both flesh and soul can provide dark magic power to the undead, so this is also the biggest contradiction between the undead and living creatures.

 The undead don’t need to eat, but who doesn’t want to become stronger?

The ghost ship did not ride the wind and waves, but just sneaked in the depths of the sea in a ghostly manner. Amberxiu could not feel the speed of the water flow, and the topography of the seabed was much more complicated than that on land, so Amberxiu could not confirm how fast Ai Ge was. .

 I only know that everything is moving backwards at high speed, and it is easy to leave various schools of fish behind.

In the deep sea, it was difficult to tell time. Amberxiu only knew that Melina was tired of seeing the scenery around her, so she took out a small notebook and started writing and drawing.

Amberxiu asked her what she was writing, and Melina said seriously: "It's a travel note. My mother asked me to follow you to read and learn from it. I have to record your words and deeds, father, and study them later."

Amberxiu laughed out loud: "What can we learn from this?"

In fact, intelligence can be divided into many directions. An alchemy genius may not be able to hold a kitchen knife, and the cook in his family may be a romantic prodigal who will seduce his wife to join forces with him to kill the genius.

 Sophistication, logical reasoning, observation, association, emotional control, and the most unreasonable inspiration...many things add up to become what ordinary people think of as "wisdom."

  Wisdom is a tower. Everyone builds it in a different way. There will be differences in height and risk resistance.

Take Harvey as an example. This kid's talent is so high that even Amber is jealous. Using this innate talent as a foundation, Harvey can build this tower of wisdom very high.

But this guy doesn't have any quickness in the world of people, and he's even a little slow to react.

When this tower of wisdom encounters external influences, its structure will be unstable and it will easily fall over when hit. It will look like it is stupid and always being deceived.

As for Melina, Amberxiu thought it was still his own problem. He went astray when weaving the soul. Melina is a genius in combat. She was only born a few years ago, and her combat prowess is already so high that Zariel even invited her to join Hell. Melina's combat intuition is much stronger than that of ordinary undead, and combined with her golden eyes that can see through all disguises, she is simply invincible.

 In terms of combat, Melina's wisdom is not a tower, but a mountain.

 In fact, there is no need to pursue omnipotence.

Melina has an entire kingdom of the dead as a backstage, so just being herself is enough. She is not the Amber Xiu who just traveled through time. She has to rely on herself to eat, drink, and relieve herself.

Life beat him until he was covered with bruises, forcing Amber Xiu to learn to read people's hearts, learn alchemy, learn magic, learn to survive in the wild, learn history, religion, and theology... This process was not beautiful at all, and there was no sense of accomplishment. Looking back, I feel nothing but pain and irritability.

Although Melina is not his biological child, Amberxiu still doesn't want her to live the same unlucky life as him for hundreds of years. That would be too pitiful.

Therefore, looking at his daughter's clear eyes, Amberxiu patted her shoulder and said: "Melina, you are different from others. You don't need to waste time learning anything. Just be yourself. When will you be able to follow me?" Uncle Gareth gives it a 50 and then thinks about other things.”

Speaking of which, how powerful is Gareth?

Amberxiu has always been curious about this question. He knows that the members of the Mourning Poets Society each have their own unique skills, but Gareth's record is a bit too high. Ambrose had seen Gareth take action, but they were always bullying the weak, and he had never seen him go all out.

I can really let Meinna discuss with him. The headless knight is a professional counterpart to the death knight. It is the best sparring. Just as he was thinking about this, the ghost ship suddenly slowed down.

Ai Ge said to Amber Xiu: "We are almost reaching Dragon Tomb Island. Let's surface. Otherwise, the Dragon Clan may think we are here to cause trouble."

Amberxiu chuckled and said, "Trouble is bound to be inevitable, but you're right, it's better to be polite first and then fight. I'll send a message to Gareth."

Amberxiu took out the Code of the Undead and sent a message to Gareth: [Good brother, I’m almost at the Dragon Tomb. Say hello to the Bone Dragon and don’t cause misunderstanding. 】

Before going out, Amberxiu contacted Gareth and confirmed that he was waiting at the Dragon Tomb before they would come all the way.

This is already a very far away sea from the mainland, and the dragon would have to fly for several days to reach it.

　　【The Headless Horseman's Crown: So fast? Just wait, I'll come out to pick you up right now. Don't get close yet. Things are not going right lately and misunderstandings can easily occur. 】

 Is it really still a tense situation?

 It seems that after having their kin from the star realm, those giant dragons started to feel unhappy with the bone dragons.

 The ghost ship rose slowly and soon reached the sea.

  After the virtual state ended, Amberxiu felt the sea breeze blowing against his face. Well, with a bit of the rancid feeling of dark magic, it is indeed the dragon's tomb. Across such a long distance, the coast is just a thin line. Amber Xiu can also feel the dark magic contained in the air. The ordinary undead really can't Such momentum.

But the sea is very clean, and there is no Githyanki fleet, nor those ferocious dragons circling in the sky, only a white line... That is Gareth who is riding the waves.

The headless horseman rides his eight-legged horse and rides a noisy white wave on the sea.

This eight-legged giant horse must have some kind of magic blessing. It can run on the sea with such a huge body and its speed is so scary.

Gareth came from across the sea with a majestic attitude. This guy is always so exaggerated every time he appears.

Ambrose knew that Gareth didn't do it on purpose. He didn't want to keep his friends waiting for a long time before he came all the way like this. But he always pretends to be so inadvertently, no wonder women of all races are fascinated by him.

Aige looked at the headless horseman running towards him and said unexpectedly: "Gareth...it's strange, he has a cursed aura on him."

 “Curse?” Amber Xiu sensed it carefully, but found nothing wrong.

Ai Ge hesitated and said: "I always feel that he is trapped by something, like a warrior bound by countless shackles, struggling constantly. But this is the first time I have met him, maybe it is my illusion."

Amberxiu looked at the tall figure coming from across the sea... Still bound by shackles? How terrifying would it be if he were to take off his shackles?

Without waiting for Anbaixiu to talk to Age again, Garez had already held the reins. The eight -footed horses slipped at sea for a long distance and stopped before the ghost ship.

Gareth said enthusiastically: "Hahaha, good brother, and this senior Ai Ge, welcome, welcome to the Island of Sleep."

 “Gareth, why did you put your helmet on again?” Umberto asked.

Gareth is the headless horseman. His neck is hollow, but now he wears a heavy black helmet. He had to hide his identity before wearing it, now he still has to disguise himself at home?

Gareth said helplessly: "Canggu said it looks good like this. Now those Gith toads often appear near the Sleeping Island, Canggu asked me to pay attention to my image."

Amberxiu defended him and said: "What's wrong with the headless horseman? Without a head, there is no image? It's really a woman's opinion."

Aige glanced at Amberxiu, who quickly said: "Well, it's not unreasonable. Maybe women pay more attention to this aspect. Gareth, this helmet is good!"

Melina, who was standing aside, quickly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

 Ai Ge was a little speechless. Why did chatting with Gareth seem even more awkward after meeting Gareth?

After a few brief greetings, Gareth took the ghost ship to the resting island, which is where the dragon's tomb is located.

 As we get closer, the concentration of dark magic in the air is increasing.

When he arrived at the coast, Amberxiu saw a huge shadow appearing in the center of the island.

 A huge bone dragon was flying towards them.

Gareth pointed to the sky with a little embarrassment and said: "That is Canggu's father, the owner of this sleeping island, Severis."
