This Lich Needs More Money

Melina watched her mother close the Codex of the Dead. Although she didn't know what the elders talked about, Melina felt that her mother was not in a good mood.

Although she couldn't see any changes in her expression, Melina had been with her mother for a long time and could sense that something was wrong with the Withered Rose.

Melina hurriedly walked to the Withered Rose and asked, "What happened?"

The Withered Rose shook her head and said, "Your father is coming. The business in the Kingdom of Rage has reached the final stage, and then I will go back to the Underdark. You stay with your father, otherwise you will be deceived by slaves to go mining when you go back."

Melina was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "It was an accident! At first, they said that the iron pickaxe they were given couldn't dig at all, so I proved it to them that it could be dug with one pickaxe. Then they said that the iron pickaxe would break after ten times of digging, so I proved it to them that it would never break after ten times! Later, they said it might not be ten times, but It's almost the same. I can only prove it to them..."

Dead Rose said helplessly: "Then you used an iron pickaxe to dig through a mine tunnel."

Melina said excitedly: "Finally I proved that the iron pickaxe is fine!"

Dead Rose looked at her daughter and said helplessly: "You will only drag your father down in the future. When can I expect you to help?"

"Ah? Father is in trouble again? Did he offend a goddess again?"

Melina is almost used to it now. Other people's fathers are just gambling, lustful, or have no opinions, are cowardly to others and domestic violence, or sell their wives and daughters as slaves when their family is in decline.

But her father is different. His father does not have those bad habits of ordinary people. Not only is he successful in his career, but he also takes special care of his family and friends. All those who have helped him have received ten times or a hundred times the return.

The only bad thing is that every time he gets into trouble, he offends the gods.

This is a bit too much for mortals.

There have been mortals who have offended gods in history, but there has never been one like Amberxiu who has offended so many people and has such a wide range of camps.

Withering Rose briefly explained that Amberxiu was targeted by Talos, and Melina was surprised and said, "This time it's the Lord of Storms? Father's ability to cause trouble is getting more and more exaggerated."

Even Melina can understand the horror of the Lord of Storms, and this makes Melina very worried. This time it's not the goddess that father is best at dealing with. Can he solve the problem?

"Mother, what should we do now? Has father thought of a solution?" Melina asked with concern.

Withered Rose shook her head and said, "Talos is not so easy to satisfy. Your father ruined a wedding that He had arranged. I suggested that he marry the princess of the Kingdom of Raging Tide, but he refused."

Melina said in confusion, "Ah? Mother, why did you suggest this? You were so angry the last time I said something wrong."

Melina said something too much last time, asking Amber to continue pretending to be Monger Grey River and marry Ariel, so that the Kingdom of Raging Tide would be completely stable. As a result, Withered Rose almost didn't give her a love education.

I didn't expect that it was Withered Rose who suggested it herself this time.

Withered Rose shook her head and said, "It wasn't a big problem before, and it could be solved without getting married. But this time, your father is in trouble again, and I can't help him."

In the past, Withered Rose could spend some money to borrow some people to help Amber solve most of the problems, but now all the troubles Amber encountered are related to the gods. Withered Rose feels that she can no longer help, but she has to find Amber when she encounters trouble.

What makes Withered Rose even more confused is when did she start to care about such things?

Does this have anything to do with destroying Ryan?

The Withered Rose is even a little worried now. When she dies, she doesn't know how Amber will react.

This feeling is too strange, and Amber doesn't know how to deal with it.

So when she heard about the wedding, Amber tried to ask Amber if he was interested in marrying the Princess of the Wrath.

In the eyes of the Withered Rose, the princess of the Kingdom of the Wrath is no different from those drow elves. If Amber likes her and can solve this trouble, it would be a good thing.

But after getting a negative answer, the Withered Rose felt a little happy.

And if Amber doesn't marry Ariel, how will he solve this problem? The Withered Rose can't watch Amber being punished by Talos.

The last lich targeted by Talos was turned into a subordinate god by Talos, and was tortured for countless years, and finally got away by luck.

Not every god is as lucky as Velsharon. If he can't escape, he will be tortured to death by Talos.

This feeling made the Withered Rose feel confused. What happened to her?

A feeling of irritability surged in her heart. It was the first time that the Withered Rose felt emotionally unstable because of something other than Ryan.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Princess Ariel suddenly came to the Withered Rose's room.

Ariel greeted the Withered Rose, and then said to Ariel: "I told you about going out to sea to hunt narwhals last time. There is a whale harpoon ship going out to sea today. Do you want to go together?"

Melina's eyes lit up immediately.

After spending this period of time together, Ariel and the Withered Rose can only be regarded as having a good relationship on the surface, but if you really want to talk about intimacy, it is still more fun to get along with this seemingly not very smart Melina.

Ariel doesn't have many friends her age, and Melina, who is so careless at first glance, is perfect for making friends, which can help Ariel escape from the heavy official duties and intrigues and relax her spirit.

After this back and forth, the relationship between the two became quite good, and they would often meet up to play together.

Melina glanced at her mother, and after receiving Apoptotic Rose's consent, she happily took Ariel's hand and left.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Apoptotic Rose suddenly had a strange idea.

When Ryan is destroyed and he dies, even if this Princess Ariel really takes her place, she should be very kind to Melina.

Apoptotic Rose shook her head, this was not something she should consider.

Having offended so many gods before, he couldn't do anything to that man. Talos thought it was the same, and I believed he could solve it.

Ambrose didn't know that his "emotional life" was so rich. He was now taking another lady with whom he was entangled to the depths of the sea.

The former elf queen Catherine was sitting on the Black Tide with Amber Xiu. Two months ago, Catherine would be very curious about airships.

But now, two routes have been established for the drow, from Silver Moon Highgarden to the Dwarf Capital, and from the Dwarf Capital to the Orc Empire.

There are a total of six transport airships in these two routes, with cargo capacity ranging from ten tons to fifty tons. They are all controlled by drow. Catherine personally trained each one until they were sent to the airship.

Of the thousands of drow around Catherine, only thirty people were finally able to enter the airship. It was only under the influence of Catherine's unlimited charm that thirty people were able to change their ways.

This shows how serious the "bad nature" of the drow is, and it is not something that can be changed overnight.

Each transport airship only has five drow, which are responsible for navigation, steering, handover with customers, etc. However, Amberxiu's airship is equipped with a large number of "intelligent undead", so the operation is relatively simple.

Just transport the goods to the designated location, and then both parties inspect the goods and pay the money. Unloading the goods does not require the drow to do it themselves.

In order to build a reputation, the first freight businesses barely made any money and barely offset the transportation costs. But the Drow Route has already gained a reputation, and as more goods are transported in the future, it can start to make money evenly.

But Catherine spent a lot of time warning these drows not to sell their bodies for advertising. If Catherine hadn't discovered it early, maybe these drows would have dared to use the airship as a mobile brothel to attract business. .

Amberxiu is very supportive of Catherine's decision. There is no distinction between high and low in business, but it depends on whether there will be mutual influence.

These routes he runs are to earn transportation fees and are part of the entire business map. If other things are mixed in, it will be difficult to manage and more likely to cause various accidents. When the time comes that the drow have had too much fun, what should they do if they take a shot at the console? Whose fault is it if it crashes?

If you crash an airship, the loss will be one million gold coins per unit. Flight safety must be strictly observed to prevent any accidents.

Catherine has been really busy lately, not only taking care of the drow routes, but also the undersea battles are still going on. Lane's generals went back to fight, but the generals on both sides of the elves and the Unholy Songs were still advancing the front in the volcanic sea. The relationship between tieflings and elves is not very good, and there is no general like Ange Watson who can crush others with pure skills on both sides, so they often quarrel.

Catherine not only has to take care of the drow routes, but also occasionally shows up to stop their internal fighting and ensure the smooth advancement of the battle line. Just when she was too busy to do anything, Amberxiu brought her out.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Catherine was sitting on the Kuroshio, sulking, and said to Amberxiu: "I'm really overwhelmed. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Amberxiu nodded and said, "Only you can help with this matter. I want to talk to the fish-man goddess Kuo Tao."

Catherine frowned and said: "Are you planning to blaspheme again? As a friend, I want to advise you that greed is a poison and will corrode your will. You already have enough wealth, even if you do nothing, you have countless gold coins They will also come towards you, why do you need to attack the gods again?”

Amberxiu said helplessly: "As you said, whenever I take the initiative to trouble the gods, isn't it always the gods who are looking for trouble for me? I am acting in self-defense."

Catherine laughed, and then said: "If there were a few more people like you in the world who were self-defense, I'm afraid the number of pages in the Book of Gods would be reduced by half."

"Catherine, you have actually learned to be yin and yang. You have been polluted after spending a long time with the drow. I'm afraid your pure and kind soul has been stained."

Catherine rolled her eyes at Amber, not even bothering to talk to him about such a topic.

"You'd better explain it quickly. I don't have a mouth blessed by the Prince of Lies. I can't help you with deceiving the gods, otherwise I will go back."

Amberxiu could only tell Talos's problem once, and then explained: "I need the help of the Kuo Taos mermaid goddess. Aiolos has let Talos down. As long as Ariel can go through Aiolos's script, , I believe Talos can be satisfied if he can survive these disasters.

"He just wants a hero, so it doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman. So this time I went to find the Kou Tao fish goddess, I just hope that he will continue the previous plan, but change the target from Aiolos to Ariel."

Catherine said in surprise: "You are too much. Last time you deceived the princess of the Kingdom of Wrath, and this time you pushed her out to experience hardships. You are too inhumane."

"Nonsense, I am a lich, where is the humanity." Amber asked back: "Just say whether you will help or not, this is related to the safety of your drow elves' route. If Talos is unhappy and sneezes, all our ships will crash."

Amber was not exaggerating. Talos's will will directly affect the weather in this world. He doesn't need to do anything. As long as he gets angry a few more times, thunderstorms will continue all year round, which will have a devastating impact on the airship route.

Catherine said, "I can't watch you push an innocent girl out to suffer. Even if the Lord of Storms is really angry about this, it is not a reason for you to harm innocent people. I would rather pray to the elves for help than to do this. You were not like this before. Even if you calculated others before, at least you maintained the most basic morality. You didn't even kill a single Ryan who kidnapped an entire city. That's why I have been helping you. How did you become like this now?"

Looking at Catherine's disappointed and sad expression, Amber was also stunned.

Catherine seemed to be right. Her moral level was plummeting, and the key was that Amber didn't even feel it.

This is the result of losing humanity. Amber will become more and more cold-blooded and less and less human.

Amber was silent for a moment, then said: "This may be my fate. From the moment I turned into a lich, no matter how hard I try, I will only fall into the evil camp. Otherwise, why are the undead born evil?"

Catherine said: "I don't believe it. Other undead can say that, but you are different. You don't even care about the gods. You can't solve this kind of thing."

"You think too highly of me." Amber shook his head and said: "No more nonsense, since you don't agree to send Ariel to suffer, then what do you say?"
