This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 409 The End of the Lich

 In a deep ditch in the sea.

There is a bizarre ecology on the seabed thousands of meters deep. In places where sunlight cannot reach, the appearance of various marine creatures can only be described as casual.

  Aiolos was lying in a huge shell. As he turned his fingers, the water flow gathered on his fingers to form a vortex.

Not far away, a strange fish with a mouth larger than its body was sucked in. On the way, the scales were scraped off by the razor-like water flow, and the flesh and blood were crushed. All soft things were stirred into a thick juice. Flowed into Aiolos' mouth.

The white skeleton of this strange fish slowly floated down and fell into the deeper seabed.

Aiolos has been living in this trench for several days. At first, he got lost and got hungry while swimming in the sea. When he was hungry, he chased the fish and came to this place.

The terrain of this trench is too complicated. After circling for a long time, I couldn't find a way out, so Aiolos simply stayed here.

 But he is not really bad. In the past few days, Aiolos has mastered many new abilities. Also controlling the water flow, Aiolos no longer needs to set off huge waves. He can now control the water pressure and crush these strange fish in the deep sea. If it falls on a living person, the water pressure can crush the person into a pulp.

In addition, Aiolos has learned to feel the sea currents and can distinguish the smell of sea water. Compared with a few days ago, Aiolos can be said to be completely different.

 This is the gift of the gods, which allows a newborn to control such powerful power.

Aiolos felt that he had rested long enough. After finishing his meal, he swam towards the sea surface in the direction of the current.

It took Aiolos less than two minutes to reach the surface from a thousand meters deep sea. The waves formed huge waves under his feet, pushing him forward quickly.

 This time, we must find Ariel’s whereabouts.

It’s just that Aiolos doesn’t know yet that the direction he is heading in is completely opposite to that of the Raging Tide Kingdom. The front is not where Ariel is, but the territory of the Sharkfish.

 It will probably take a long time before Aiolos can find Ariel's whereabouts.

While the son of the **** was running around in the sea, Apoptotic Rose had already set off for the Kingdom of Raging Tide, and was aboard Amber Xiu's Kuroshio.

The two brothers Hasting and Hareth were operating the Kuroshio cautiously, not daring to look towards the Apoptotic Rose. The two brothers have now transformed from useless thugs under Amber Xiu to captains of the Kuroshio. However, even though they are captains, the two brothers still have a heartfelt fear of the Apoptotic Rose.

This Queen of the Undead is different from their master. She exudes a dangerous aura all over her body. Even the undead dare not approach her, for fear that she will crush him to death with her fingers if she is unhappy.

Apoptotic Rose has been the queen of the Underdark Realm for many years, and her hands can no longer be described as covered in blood. Behind her seems to be an endless sea of ​​​​blood. Undead creatures are very sensitive to these murderous intentions. The two brothers transformed into undead in a very short time. , almost couldn't stand still in front of her.

The two brothers also sighed in their hearts. In comparison, their master who was desperate for money was quite easy to talk to. If the two brothers were allowed to follow the Apoptotic Rose, they would probably be reduced to scrap metal in a few days.

Apoptotic Rose noticed that these two strange-looking undead were afraid of her, but she didn't take it to heart. This kind of thing was too common. Apoptotic Rose is now looking attentively at the information given to her by Amber Xiu, which is all about the transformation plan of the Rage Kingdom. The design drawings of the alchemy production line, manpower requirements, material requirements, lighting and water supply requirements for the factory, etc.

Apoptotic Rose has only dabbled in alchemy and has never studied it seriously. This information is really difficult for her to understand. However, Amber Xiu had already prepared it. In addition to the original information, there was also a simplified version, which contained no relevant principles but only requirements.

Apoptotic Rose Just follow the contents of this list and talk about it one by one.

However, this makes me look useless. Not thinking about the reasons and just following orders is also a very unfamiliar experience for Apoptotic Rose, so she still tries her best to understand the information to avoid any mistakes during the negotiation.

But Apoptotic Rose has this patience, but her daughter Melina cannot do it. Apoptotic Rose handed her the simplest part, and within a few minutes Melina's body was twisting restlessly. , even after asking, he didn’t read a word.

Apoptotic Rose is helpless. Why doesn’t this daughter look like her parents? And it looks like neither.

Melina said helplessly: "Mom, I really can't understand it, the words on it seem to be dancing!"

"How will you inherit my kingdom in the future if you are like this?" said the Apoptotic Rose.

Without even the most basic patience, Melina will be tricked into mining again by the slaves below sooner or later.

“Mother, you are a lich and you will not die. Why can’t I always be a princess?” Melina retorted.

Apoptotic Rose sighed and said: "Who said I won't die? After completing the plan to destroy Ryan, I will leave this world."

 “Huh? Why?” Melina said in surprise.

"Because I have fulfilled my wish. The undead have no feelings. If it were not for this obsession, I would be no different from a corpse. When your father helps me fulfill my wish, I should start the next journey." No matter if I go to **** or die, I will leave."

 Apoptotic Rose was incredibly calm when she said these words, and even had a hint of expectation. Memory gives emotions, and emotions support the continuation of life. The undead have lost all senses that can obtain happiness, and the world is just a boring instruction manual for the lich. The only thing that can give a lich emotional fluctuations is that powerful obsession. If even this is lost, then the lich will have no meaning in continuing to exist.

 It is like a machine. Even if it can still be used, as far as the machine itself is concerned, it is a dead thing.

The body of the Lich is a dead thing, and even the soul has become insensitive. When the long-cherished wish is fulfilled, the Apoptotic Rose will completely lose the way to feel happiness, and the soul will become stagnant water, with no desire to continue functioning. At that time, with Being dead makes no difference.

Apoptotic Rose is a special case among lichs, because most people who transform into lichs just want to live. Immortality is the most common wish of lichs, so they will never be satisfied.

The same goes for Ambrose, because money has no upper limit, and he can always maintain this impulse to pursue wealth and live forever.

The moment Apoptotic Rose transformed into a lich, she knew very well that she would perish with the destruction of Lane, but this could not stop her will to destroy Lane. She wished she could die with this disgusting empire now.

So everything in the Underdark is not important to her. Wealth, power, slaves... none of these things can make Apoptotic Rose take it to heart. She just wants to completely eliminate the hatred in her heart and relieve this eternal torture.

Melina heard the news for the first time. She opened her mouth in shock, and then said excitedly: "No, mother, you can't just leave like this! Even if Ryan is gone, don't you still have me? And father, Are you willing to leave us? Can’t we become your obsession?”

Melina's series of questions made Apoptotic Rose stunned for a moment. Apoptotic Rose couldn't help but think of the lich that made her heart beat.

She still can't tell whether her heart moved because Amberxiu helped her destroy Ryan, or whether it was simply because of Amberxiu's specialness that her heart, which had been dead for many years, started to beat again.

Looking at Melina's panic expression, Apoptotic Rose smiled and said: "Melina, I envy you very much. Your soul is not as alive as an undead. But it's too early to say this now. Wait until Ryan is destroyed. Let’s talk about it, I believe your father will find a solution when the time comes.”

 Leave everything to that man. If he is willing, he should be able to find a reason for himself to live. And if he doesn't want to, then what else can he miss?

 Apoptotic Rose looked down at the information again, as if she was completely unaffected.

But Melina couldn't calm down. She never thought that one day her mother would leave her. This was an absolutely unacceptable future.

Melina frowned and fell into deep thought: "My mother's only obsession is hatred. Can I let her turn love into obsession like Aunt Canggu? No, I have to let my father study it carefully and never let my mother leave. "

Although Melina is not very smart, she knows that she is not very smart, so she decided to rely on her omnipotent father for this matter. After this negotiation, Melina decided to stay with Amber Xiu and beg him every day until he found a way.

The Kuroshio carried a mother and daughter with different ideas to Storm City in the Kingdom of Rage.

Storm City is the capital of the Kingdom of Rage, located on a high mountain in the center. Storm City has a population of 100,000 and is the most prosperous place in the entire Raging Tide Kingdom. It is surrounded by island groups of different sizes. Most of the people in the Raging Tide Kingdom regard living in Storm City as their highest goal in life.

So although the Kingdom of Rage is poor, the City of Storms still looks quite prosperous.

With the permission of Princess Ariel, the Kuroshio was able to land directly near Storm City, on a hillside on the outskirts of the city.

Ariel also received the notice early and brought a group of storm priests to greet them here.

 The ceremony was very simple, but the people present had enough status, so the welcome specifications could be considered grand.

Ariel saw the legendary Queen of the Undead for the first time, and was a little surprised by how cool and noble the Queen of the Undead was. Compared with her, her own princess seemed to have less aristocratic aura.

But Ariel will not feel ashamed because of this. She is a girl born in the sea. Only thunder and storms are the goals she pursues. Her aristocratic temperament is incompatible with the Kingdom of Rage.

 I just don’t know why the negotiation target was changed to this Undead Queen, and all the previous preparations were in vain.

I don’t know what the character of this undead queen is. How can I get her to give up more benefits?

Ariel just said hello to Apoptotic Rose. Before she could say anything, Apoptotic Rose smiled brightly and said, "Princess Ariel really surprised me. I have never seen anyone as handsome as you." The sassy female general is much better than my daughter. Can you be my tour guide? I want to see where you grew up and let my daughter learn from you."

Before Ariel could react, Apoptotic Rose had already taken her arm and stood closely with her.

Ariel was stunned for a moment. Is this Queen of the Undead so kind? It's completely different from the cold and cruel rumors.

Everyone in the Furious Tide Kingdom was stunned. Only the people from Amberxiu knew what was going on.

Hasting looked at the scene in front of him and sighed in his heart. She was indeed the Queen of the Undead who could become a pair with her master. The methods of deceiving people were so similar.
