This Lich Needs More Money

Aiolos promised Talos that he would not reveal his origins.

But this time, he broke his promise.

The result of violating the contract was that Talos had a chance to punish him personally.

At this moment, Talos could destroy Aiolos himself without violating the rules of Io.

However, the angry Talos ignored Aiolos who was already crawling on the ground, but projected a jumping lightning, floating in front of Amber.

Talos said to Amber, "Lich, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I didn't expect that this is such an inappropriate opportunity."

Amber did not dare to be disrespectful to this powerful god, and hurriedly said politely: "Respected Lord of Storms, I am just a mortal. How can it be an inappropriate time for you to meet me?"

Talos's anger subsided, and he said to Amber with a smile: "Haha, the rumors are right, your mouth must have been blessed by some god."

"Using the blessing of the gods to please the gods is also a good use of it." Amber continued to say humbly.

Talos said sarcastically: "Pleasing the gods? You have harmed more gods, lich, I am not Shar, nor Lolth, my anger is recognized by Io, that is to say, I can do more than them."

Talos is the main god of the furious gods, and he can form such an alliance, which shows that what Talos said is not a lie.

Different gods have different "privileges". Shar was punished lightly for her mistakes, but Talos might be "killing mortals is wrong, but killing one does not count as killing".

Of course, this is all Amber's guess. I don't think Aiolos would be so hypocritical.

But no matter what Talos's authority is, his madness is known to everyone, and we can't bet on whether Talos dares to do it.

Therefore, Amber could only explain: "Lord of the Storm, with your wisdom, you should be able to understand the cause and effect. I am not the kind of mortal who accepts everything. The gods want to harm me, so I can only fight back. If I don't even have this courage, I would have died on the road of adventure."

Talos laughed and said, "Yes, I have investigated your life. You have never lacked courage, which I admire very much. Unlike some trash, they have completely lost their fighting spirit after experiencing this little setback."

At the end, Talos' tone was already full of disgust, as if Aiolos had disappointed him very much.

Amber did not help to defend himself, but just asked curiously: "Great God, was your original plan really to let him marry Princess Ariel?"

Talos said: "I originally thought so, but now, this rubbish is not worthy of my most devout believer."

"Then I am very curious, can't you just give an oracle?" Amber asked curiously.

How much suffering has Aiolos suffered? Until now, he has not even seen the real Ariel. Is Talos doing this on purpose?

Talos said: "This is too boring."

It is very simple to directly order the two to get married, but Talos will find it boring.

He originally wanted to cultivate a hero and create a classic story of a hero and a princess, but Aiolos does not look like a hero at all now.

He gave Aiolos the power of immortality, not to let him be played by others, but to give him the opportunity to stand up again after making mistakes again and again. As a result, he turned out to be like this now, and Talos was ready to eat Aiolos directly.

Amber was speechless. It seemed that the description of Talos in the book was not accurate enough. He was not only irritable, but also a naughty kid with bad taste. He was a bit too bookish. It turned out that Aiolos did not lie at the beginning.

Who would have thought that Talos would change the subject and say to Amber: "Since I answered your question, it's my turn to ask."

"Uh, what do you want to ask?" Being stared at by Talos, Amber had a bad feeling.

"You could have asked for more just now. According to the rumors, shouldn't you make good use of this waste? You only asked who sent him, and you agreed to help him? Tell me, what trap is left in your question?"

Talos looked very excited, as if he was sure that Amber could unravel dozens of layers of conspiracy and tricks in every sentence.

Amber Xiu explained awkwardly: "It's not a trap, just to confirm my own doubts. I thought Aiolos was the chosen one of the Kuo-Tao fish goddess before. After seeing each other just now, I found that I was wrong, so I confirmed it with him."

"Is it that simple? This answer disappoints me. I thought I could hear some interesting answers."

Talos seemed very dissatisfied with this answer.

Amber Xiu shouted a few words in his heart, "Aio, please take care of this madman", but it seemed to have no effect. He could only continue to say to Talos: "For the great gods, the unknown may only represent surprises, but for a prophecy mage like me, the unknown is often something that is linked to life. So, you may think this question is boring, but for me, this question is the answer to many questions, and it is also of some value to me.

"Besides, if I want Aiolos to work for me, I should not threaten him at this time."

Hearing Amber Xiu's words, Talos really became interested and asked excitedly: "Oh, tell me, why is that? "

Amber Xiu knew that he couldn't satisfy the curiosity of this naughty kid today, so he had to explain: "I have been an adventurer for hundreds of years in my life, and I have seen many good people, bad people, and enemies.

"Some people don't care about emotions but only about interests, like my partner Gustavo Flynn. He is ambitious, and pure emotions are just a spice for him. When working with such people, how to divide the interests is the key The key. So if it were him, I would not hesitate to blackmail him into giving out more benefits, because if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I will miss the opportunity.

"But other people are completely different. Aiolos sacrificed so much for the creation of a Kuo Tao fish goddess, and even gave up his dignity to beg me for her. Such people value feelings rather than interests. I use interests. I went to make an exchange with him, and he agreed now, but in the end he just returned the favor to me. But if I just helped him, he would spend his whole life trying to find ways to repay me.

"If you think about it this way, it will naturally be more advantageous to bind Aiolos with emotions."

Talos let out a laugh that shook Amberxiu's soul.

"Hahaha, it's interesting. This kid is still grateful to you after being eaten up by you. He is indeed a mortal who can even plot with gods." Talos said to Aiolos: "Did you hear that, you loser, you know Who are you facing? Are you still begging him now?"

Amber Xiu sighed in his heart. Talos's character was too bad. Now he would add insult to injury and stir up discord. He was trying to force Aiolos to die.

However, what Talos didn't expect was that Aiolos said: "If he can save my lover, nothing else matters. Father God, before I came into this world, everyone was lying to me. The first one The person who deceived me cut off my head, and the second person who deceived me was God, who confused my mind... Only this friend did everything above board and never deceived me."

Talos laughed angrily at him and said sarcastically: "Idiot, don't you understand? He is using his emotions to deceive you and make you feel grateful to him!"

Aiolos asked doubtfully: "If he can help me rescue Ariel, I should be grateful to him. Is this considered cheating?"

Amber Xiu sighed again, just like when they first met, this fool has a good outlook on life.

The two had a fight when they met for the first time. After confirming that it was a misunderstanding, Aiolos immediately settled the differences with Amber Xiu. At that time, Amber Xiu lamented that this man was a bit stupid, but his views were quite upright.

After all this time, Aiolos still hasn’t forgotten his original intention. Is this really Talos’s child?

Talos didn't seem to expect that Aiolos would answer like this. He was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to be angry or emotional. He was originally planning to destroy Aiolos directly, but now he suddenly felt that this waste was a bit interesting and not as boring as before.

Talos thought for a while and said to Amberxiu: "Are you going to help him?"

Amberxiu nodded and replied: "As you can see, I am preparing to use my emotions to kidnap him to work for me, so of course I want to help. However, if you think it is inappropriate, then of course I will give up."

Talos pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can save him if you want. I'm also very interested in reading the story about this trash."

Amberxiu got Talos's permission and didn't waste any time.

After carefully examining Aiolos's soul, he quickly began to repair it.

When it comes to souls, Amber Xiu is an expert. He just stitches the broken soul back together. This is not too difficult. On the contrary, Aiolos can tear the soul apart by himself. This perseverance and will really make Amber Xiu Marvel.

The operation was successful, and within three hours, Aiolos' missing arm grew back.

And the lobster girl Ariel also regained her consciousness and embraced Aiolos excitedly.

Amberxiu reminded: "Your souls are very weak now. Rest more and remember less about the past. You should be able to fully recover in a month, but it may cause partial memory loss, similar to amnesia. There is no way to solve this sequelae. , but it won’t affect your life later.”

Aiolos thanked Amberxiu profusely, but before he could finish his words, Talos kicked him out.

In Amberxiu's private space, only he and the lightning were left.

"Haha, you did something wrong just now, right? The girl's soul has actually disappeared completely, right?" Talos asked.

Amberxiu sighed and said: "Sure enough, you can't deceive the great gods. Yes, Aiolos' soul can be reborn, but the girl's soul cannot. Before they met me, they were unstable due to the tearing of their souls. And after being reborn many times, the part that belonged to that girl has long since completely died, and it was just Aiolos who occupied an empty shell with part of his own soul."

Talos continued: "Then, you just read the memories in Aiolos's soul, and based on these memories, you created a similar new soul for him and put it into the girl's body. Didn't you save Aiolos? Lover of Los, you are just like Bribodup, creating a false lover to deceive Aiolos.”

"Yes, you are absolutely correct." Amberxiu admitted this.

Moreover, he didn't just make up a fake soul, because what he created was an undead soul. He created a "living" soul in the same way as he created mercury zombies, so that it can be perfectly integrated with the body of the lobster girl. .

"Why do you do this?" Talos asked curiously: "Just to deceive this fool? Are you afraid that the favor he owes you will be compromised?"

Amber Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, just as you said."

"Haha, liar!" Talos said proudly, "Although I am not good at identifying lies, your lie is too poor."

"You misunderstood."

Amber Xiu was about to explain, but Talos said nonchalantly, "Don't talk nonsense, but I don't care. You showed me something very interesting today. I can let Aiolos live. You can lie to him as much as you want. But he is no longer qualified to marry the real Ariel.

"Lich, you ruined my plan, you owe me a good show of marriage. Have you thought about how to repay me?"

Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment. What does this have to do with him? This Talos is too shameless!

But Talos didn't give Amber Xiu a chance to distinguish, and continued, "Remember, you must repay what you owe me, otherwise, I will not allow the Kingdom of Rage to be an alchemy factory for you."

"Wait, I don't understand what you said, how can I repay you a wedding? "Amber Xiu asked excitedly.

Talos laughed loudly, like a naughty child who had played with someone else's glass. He said to Amber Xiu: "You are so smart, you must understand. Don't let me get bored, Lich. I have waited for many years to find something interesting. Don't let me down.

"If you do well, I will reward you, and I will never be as stingy as the God of Alchemy. As a reward for today's good show, I will give you the opportunity to use the Revenge Storm once a day for free."

The golden lightning in front of him sank into Amber Xiu's palm, like a brand, imprinted into his palm. Amber Xiu could sense the violent thunder power left on it.

Nine-ring spell-Revenge Storm, the power of a single unit may not be as strong as that of a meteor explosion, but in terms of group lethality, the Revenge Storm is much stronger. The Revenge Storm includes the effects of various extreme weather such as acid rain, thunder, strong winds and hail, and covers a wide range, which is more than enough to destroy a city without a defense system.

But Amber was speechless. If possible, he would rather not have this reward.

Give him a wedding? How to repay?

Should he persuade the Kou Tao fish goddess to let this psychopath marry Talos?
