This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 455: The mortal enemy of the Kuo-Toa people

If you want to find out the preferences of a god, it is actually easier to start with the camp and priesthood.

Bribodup belongs to the neutral evil alignment, but when he is sick, he becomes chaotic evil.

The same goes for believers. Kuo-toa people seem stupid, but they are not kind at all. Kuo-toa people like to kill and destroy, not just for survival. Kuo-Toa like to kill other creatures and dismantle various parts to decorate their homes and build statues of gods.

Another point is that there is almost no morality among the Kuo Tao fish people, and the social environment is very barbaric.

Therefore, Brie Bodup is not going to do anything good and is a neurotic shit-maker.

But this does not help how to lure Bribodup to leave the Kingdom of God. You can't expect him to rush out of the Kingdom of God and go crazy after his own illness. Amberxiu's destiny weaving cannot affect the real gods.

And what Amberxiu objects to the most is not doing anything and waiting for the goddess of fate to deliver benefits to his door. He is accustomed to choosing his own goals, trying his best to achieve them, and then giving the goddess of destiny a chance in the process so that she can provide some benefits. help.

Because waiting for good luck often results in waiting for death.

Therefore, Amber Xiu did not give up. If he could not find any flaws in Kuo Tao, the fish-man goddess, he could only find a solution from her opponent.

After all, the person who knows you best is definitely your enemy.

"I remember reading a book with relevant records."

Ninety percent of books related to gods are roadside histories, either hyped by fans or trolled by anti-fans. There is a lot of true and false content, and it is very difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Therefore, Amber Xiu reads most books related to gods as novels, then puts them aside after reading them, and does not carry them with him.

So these books were placed in Amberxiu's hometown.

Amber Xiu passed through the teleportation array and came to the castle he had not seen for a long time.

Back then, Amber Xiu was so poor that this castle was the only one left, and the decoration inside was quite shabby, to the point where he could only use boiled water to entertain guests.

Now that I'm back, this castle is much more popular.

There were many maids cleaning the castle. After seeing Amber Xiu, they were just stunned for a moment, and then they saluted respectfully and called Amber Xiu "Master".

Amberxiu nodded casually, thinking that Isabel had specially trained these maids, and they would not be like last time, and they would not even know the owner of the castle.

But this time he didn't come here to catch up with Isabel. Amber Xiu went straight to the randomly placed bookshelves and started rummaging through them.

Amberxiu's character is a bit sloppy, and he doesn't care about details that don't affect the results of the experiment, so the most common thing in the castle is the bookshelf.

Amber Xiu is used to looking at and putting things away as long as he doesn't throw them on the ground. Anyway, the lich lives forever and has plenty of time.

As a result, it is quite troublesome to find it now, and I can only rely on my memory to find it bit by bit.

"Let me think about it, it seems to be here." Amber Xiu rummaged through the bookshelf and took out an ancient book that looked familiar. ""The Goblin Guards in Lane's Harem"...yeah, it's a pity it's not this one."

Amber Xiu dug out a lot of unofficial histories on the bookshelf one after another, such as "The Troubles of a Young Drow", "The Eighty-Year-Old Loli Elf Wife Part 6" and so on. After searching for a long time, I confirmed that it was not this bookshelf. The bookshelf on it was all filled with supplementary novels, which Amber Xiu had collected before he transformed into a lich.

Just as he was about to change his position and search, Amberxiu saw Isabel appear in front of him.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time. You finally come back to take a look sometimes. I reported to you before that I have slightly renovated the laboratory. You can just check it out when you come back to see if it suits you."

After not seeing her for a long time, Isabel seemed to have matured a lot, and her face had lost the restraint and nervousness she had when she was an apprentice.

However, Isabel was still very surprised when she saw Amber Xiu.

Amberxiu shook his head. He no longer had any use for the castle's laboratory.

"As long as you like it, Isabel, have you seen the collection of books I have placed around here?"

Amber Xiu's question made Isabel stunned for a moment. She looked down at the books on the ground and blushed immediately.

"No, no, I...I haven't seen it..."

Isabel's hesitant look made Amberxiu feel a little regretful. It seemed that he couldn't count on her anymore.

"Okay, you go about your business, I'm just looking for a few books when I come back."

"Teacher, I have nothing to be busy with today," Isabel said to Amberxiu, as if she had made up her mind, "I will accompany you to find it."

Of course it is a good thing to have more than one person helping. Amber Xiu said: "Chronicles of the Gods, Memoirs of a Deep Diver, Clash of the Ocean Gods, and Atlas of Deep Sea Creatures are just a few of them."

"Ah?" Isabel was stunned again. Wasn't that the kind of book she was looking for? After breathing a little sigh of relief, Isabel followed Amberxiu and carefully helped him search the dusty bookshelves.

Many books have been there for many years, and Amberxiu did not read them a second time.

Isabel didn't dare to mess with Amberxiu's collection of books, so she kept them there. Carefully stroking away the dust and reading the text carefully, Isabel and Amber walked the entire floor, but still couldn't find the book they wanted.

While going upstairs, Isabel couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, did you encounter any trouble?"

Amber Xiu nodded and said casually: "Be prepared to deal with a shrimp-headed goddess and come back to find some information. Alas, I should have classified them carefully at the beginning, but now it is really troublesome to find them."

Isabel didn't show any surprise. In her eyes, Amberxiu was almost like an omnipotent god. During this time, the teacher's name spread across the continent and he became a hero in an epic story.

With such a reputation, it is not surprising to be promoted to a god.

It's great, but it's a pity that I can't stay with Amber Xiu all the time.

Amberxiu noticed Isabel's slight sigh and asked, "What's wrong? What trouble have you encountered recently?"

Isabel is now making a lot of money for Amberxiu every month. The magic potion of the Fountain of Youth has become Amberxiu's best-selling product, and the profit is higher than selling undead arms.

This is a little hen that can lay golden eggs, so Amberxiu naturally needs to be concerned about it.

Isabel hesitated, and finally confessed to Amber.

"Everything is fine with me. He is my brother. He has quarreled with me several times recently. He wants to start a slave business in the dwarf kingdom and hopes that I can give him support."

Amberxiu said doubtfully: "Slave business? It can't be said that this thing is not profitable, but it is really not easy to do well. How could he think of doing this?"

The slave trade can be regarded as the bloodiest business, but if done well, it can not only make money, but also build relationships between all classes.

It's just that this business is not something ordinary people can do. First, you must have official permission to become a "legal" slave owner.

Free people are always precious. If the kingdom wants to be stable, it is impossible to turn free people into slaves on a large scale, so it is not allowed to turn civilians into slaves at will. Ordinary slaves could be traded for dozens of copper coins, but if freedmen sold themselves into slavery, the price would be very high, and the procedures would be very complicated. If free people are captured by force, they will generally be severely punished, including but not limited to being demoted as slaves to the whole family.

Secondly, you must have enough force, otherwise how will you capture slaves, transport them, and keep them in captivity?

Then there are the sales channels, who different slaves want to sell to, and how to sell them quickly to save some food. These are very particular things that ordinary people cannot do.

Raul must have never been exposed to this business, so it would be a bit strange to suddenly want to do this.

Isabel explained: "My brother has always wanted to gain power. In his opinion, being a slave owner can make him feel spiritually satisfied. Originally, I wanted to arrange for him to do other jobs, but he has been unwilling. So, we There was a fight.”

Isabel was a little sad. After becoming Amberxiu's student, the relationship between the brother and sister became more and more distant. At first Raul was willing to break into the lich's territory for her, but today he had a big fight with her over the purchase and sale of slaves.

Isabel couldn't understand her brother's thoughts. She was almost sold as a slave, so Isabel rejected this industry from the bottom of her heart. Who would have thought that one day her brother would aspire to be a slave owner?

"Everyone has his own ambitions. You are all adults, and you should decide your own future. Since your brother has this idea, just let him do it. If you don't support it, just ignore him. If it's because of this little thing, If you give up, then he doesn’t like it that much.”

Amber Xiu is a very open-minded person, and he lets others think whatever he wants if it doesn't affect him.

He also has no moral obsession. The slave business has been a tradition in this world since ancient times. Raul is a local, so it is not surprising that he wants to work in this industry.

Isabel said: "However, I think my brother has been influenced by others. Recently, a woman has been very close to him. And my intuition tells me that the woman has ulterior motives."

"That's more normal. Once you become famous, have money and status, Raul will also be affected. When a man has money and power, there will naturally be countless women with ulterior motives around him."

Amber Xiu's indifferent attitude made Isabel a little anxious, and she couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, I can't just watch my brother being deceived."

"Then use your own method to solve the problem. Isabel, you are now the most outstanding alchemist among the younger generation. Gustavo Flynn has hinted more than once that he wants to accept you as his disciple. Although this old guy has a bad heart, his vision in alchemy is much better than mine. Isabel, don’t think of yourself as a helpless little girl. This little problem shouldn’t trouble you.”

When Isabel was thoughtful, Amberxiu suddenly walked quickly to a bookshelf and took out a thick ancient book from it.

"Atlas of Deep Sea Life, finally found."

Amberxiu happily opened the pages of the book and quickly found the relevant content about the Kuo Tao fish people. Amberxiu quickly read the text above, and after reading what he already knew, he finally found this paragraph.

"During the heyday of the Mind Flayer Empire, a large number of Kuo-Toa were enslaved as slaves and food. According to the author's research, there are no records related to the Kuo-Toa goddess during the existence of the Mind Flayer Empire. It is suspected that the birth of this deity was It’s related to the past of the Kouta people being enslaved.”

Amber Xiu laughed, he finally found the biggest enemy of the fish-man goddess Kuo Tao.
