This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 387 If the enemy is that lich

Silver Moon Highgarden, in the green Elf Palace, the young Elf King Aldarion sat on an oak chair, staring blankly at the magic mirror in front of him.

Ardarion didn’t know what to say after seeing hundreds of meteorites falling from the sky and easily destroying the Githyanki army.

 He once suspected that this was a false illusion.

 But unfortunately, based on his understanding of this lich, his lies will never be exposed.

 All the promises he shows you by patting his chest and guaranteeing them are true. The real lies will be hidden by him so well that you won’t even notice after you have been deceived.

If this lich didn't deliberately defy logic, it means that the elves had far underestimated him before.

Aldarian looked to both sides. The people sitting in this hall were all high-level elves. It could be said that all the elites of the entire elves were here.

“Everyone, the lich deliberately let us see this. What do you think?”

Everyone was silent. The scene of hundreds of meteors falling was too shocking. Elves lived a long time, but elves who had not experienced the dragon war had never seen such a big scene.

 But now that the Elf King asked, they had to bite the bullet and answer.

“Perhaps, we can give him more magic materials every year, so that we can build a better relationship.”

Aldarion looked at the elf who spoke. He looked like a middle-aged man, but he was also eight or nine hundred years old. This could be regarded as the finance minister of Silvermoon Highgarden. He gave Amber the thousand dollars every year. He is responsible for all magic materials. Now, half of the first batch of materials are being sent out one after another, and the remaining parts can just be given a little more.

Aldarion looked at the elf and asked, "What do you think of is giving more money to bribe this lich? Our elves have become so weak that we have to use this method to curry favor with others?"

"This..." the old elf couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, most of the young men of our elves have had their magic power sealed, and now is when we are at our weakest."

Aldarian snorted coldly and asked, "Am I not going to know? On the first day I took office, I read the list of these addicted patients hundreds of times. I know exactly who they are, how old they are, and where they are in the bank." Distribution in Yue Gaoting. But they are just sealed with magic power, not dead. They can live normally without using magic power. Are you treating them as patients who have to stay in bed?

Aldarion stood up excitedly and said loudly: "I have been patrolling throughout Silvermoon Highgarden during this period, and I discovered a serious problem. How on earth do you comfort these addicted patients? Except Besides letting them rest more, will you do anything else?

"Elves are inherently sentimental. These demon-addicted elves can be said to be disabled. Are you letting them rest more because you are afraid that they will not have enough time to think about things? They are feeling sorry for themselves because of the disappearance of their magic power, thinking that they have become useless people. You are still Are they really going to be left to rest at home as useless people? Is there no work left in Silvermoon High Court?"

Those high-ranking elves were scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up. They didn't expect that this would make the Elf King angry. This lich had committed a heinous crime.

Stared by Aldarion's angry eyes, most of the elves lowered their heads and dared not speak. Although this Elf King is young and has low qualifications, he has already established his own prestige, which he established before. Merit, now these old guys are not qualified to rely on their old age.

However, the elves are a race that maintains good moral character after all. They do not bear grudges against Aldarion because he said it was normal. They started to think new under the guidance of Aldarion.

Soon, someone said: "We can hand over some tasks that do not require magic to the sealed elves. The magic forging furnace cannot be used, and ordinary forging furnaces can achieve the same effect. There is also the cultivation and cultivation of alchemy and magic materials. Most of them don’t require magic.”

"Yes, although it takes a lot of time, it is better than turning these elves into useless people. If the magic power is gone, we elves can also become warriors."

 Someone opened their mouths, and soon various suggestions were put forward.

Ardalian did not speak again this time. Although in his opinion, many of the suggestions were nonsense and pure delusions, this atmosphere was still much better than the lifeless atmosphere just now.

The elves have never been afraid of crisis. They have the most powerful elven gods as their backing. No matter what the road is, as long as they can maintain this pride, the elves will not perish. The worst fear is that the elves will give up and force the gods to punish them.

 When they were almost done talking, Aldarian said: "You can discuss these suggestions later and go back to the original problem, how should we deal with what the lich is showing now."

This time, there was no need to be silent. Someone immediately replied: "Your Majesty, actually we don't need to worry too much. These hundreds of meteor bursts are nothing. Our Silver Moon High Court also has a lot of large-scale magic of this level."

Aldarion said: "This lich has only been out to sea for a few days. How many years did it take to build the magic circle in Silver Moon Highgarden?"

"This...offense is insufficient, but the defense is sufficient. As long as Silver Moon Highgarden is still there, the elves will have enough time to change everything."

Aldarion said with satisfaction: "Very good, you finally look like elves. But don't forget this detail. No matter how powerful this lich is, it is impossible to use such powerful magic by itself. Observe carefully The hit rate of those meteor bursts is really frighteningly high. This must be the power of the prophecy mage.

"What is it that supports him to use such huge magic power? Didn't you think of something?" Someone immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you are talking about... the magic network?"

Elves all have strong spellcasting talents. They are naturally able to master one or several tricks. It is also very easy to become a mage. We are all elites here, so we can naturally discover many things.

Even though Amber Xiu tried very hard to hide it, when the hundred-fold meteor burst appeared, the huge flow of magic power still left obvious traces.

 There is no doubt that there is something special that controls these magic powers for him, forming a system similar to the magic network.

  The Magic Network was created by the goddess of magic to calm down the wild magic and make it easier for mages to cast spells. This is why she created such a great system.

This lich seems to have a magic network of its own.

This is the same conclusion reached by the elves when they did reverse cracking before. The seal on the body of the addict is like a small magic net, which allows the addict to balance the out-of-control magic power.

 There has been little progress in the reverse cracking method. They know that the sealing scroll uses this principle, but the specific details and how it is used, the elves are still at a loss.

Aldarian said: "I am certain that this lich must have obtained some forbidden knowledge from somewhere, probably from a certain god. And with the character of this lich, as long as he is given enough He can even pack up and sell the gold coins. Everyone, be prepared. The mainland will soon face war. No matter what form it takes, we must protect the elves. "

 All the elves stood up and agreed in unison.

　　Ardalian waved his hand to dismiss the meeting, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.

After a while, a gray-haired old man walked in. This is Aldarion's grandfather, the former Elf King Hildas.

"Well done, you are more suitable to be the king of the elves than Catherine and I." Hildas said with emotion.

Aldarian did not open his eyes, but said with a tired face: "It's useless to be suitable, it will be difficult after all. Grandpa, we don't know what kind of future we are going to face, and the gods don't want to give me any hint.

"I can't figure it out. Now that the lich has taken care of the Githyanki, it won't be a problem for dragons to come overseas. So what's the problem? With such a lich that is constantly saving the world, what else could cause this world Falling into complete collapse? Grandpa, if the real reason is not found, the elves will be in great danger."

Aldarion is different from the previous two Elf Kings. His grandfather had outstanding achievements, participated in the Dragon War, and became a hero with Arthur Lane, and then succeeded to the throne. Catherine is considered the next elf queen appointed by the elven gods, and there is no difficulty in succeeding to the throne.

These two, to put it bluntly, Ardalian, are not leaders.

In other words, the great cause of the Elf clan can withstand the torment of two Elf Kings. Aldarion may not be able to defeat these two, but he is a real politician and a competent king.

 Aldarion saw further than all the elves.

The world will inevitably fall into war. This is a given future, but where exactly the war will start and how it will spread, Ardalion has no idea.

Hildas comforted and said: "When war comes, we elves can only work hard to prepare. Didn't you do a good job just now? Don't be too upset. You are the king of our elves. You need to take care of yourself."

Aldarian opened his eyes, looked at his grandfather, and said with a wry smile: "If it were any other situation, I believe I can handle it. But Grandpa, have you ever thought about the possibility that this war will be caused by this lich, and He was the one who pushed it.

“If this lich wants to destroy everything, how can we elves resist it?”

Hildas wanted to say that the elves were still strong and not afraid of any enemy, but this lich... Hildas couldn't confidently believe that the elves could withstand it.

The strength shown by this lich is not that it is very strong, but that he will always hit you hard in unexpected places.

Like the Githyanki, they would never expect to encounter hundreds of meteors on their way, and every one of them would hit its target.

How can the elves resist this kind of enemy that cannot be predicted using common sense?

The only thing that can comfort Hildas now is Ambrose's recent behavior. He seems to really like saving the world.
