This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 457 The Beginning of a Great Cause

The biggest fear in doing things is not the difficulty, but the fear of having no direction.

As long as you find the direction, all that's left is to work hard to solve the difficulties. Amberxiu immediately sent his request to the Kingdom of Unholy Ode, hoping that they could pay attention to the movements of the mind flayers in the chaotic space.

Unclean Ode now relies on Amber Xiu as a liaison to maintain contact with its homeland. Naturally, it does not dare to neglect, saying that it will fully assist and notify Amber Xiu immediately if there is any news.

The communication had just been completed when Amber Xiu received a private message from the dwarf vampire: [Brother, where are you? I have something to ask you. 】

Amber Xiu was a little confused. This guy just said he couldn't help. Why did he suddenly come over and get close to him?

[Ultraman Tiga: Why are you looking for me? 】

[Don’t like humans: You said before that you wanted to tie up the Kuo-Tao fishman goddess and send it to Talos. Are you serious? 】

[Ultraman Tiga: Of course I am serious, but what does this have to do with you? 】

[I don’t like humans: I want to follow you, witness the whole process, and record all your actions. Regardless of success or failure, this is a great feat that can be recorded in history. I am a historian and I want to see it all with my own eyes! 】

Amber Xiu didn't expect this to be the reason, but it didn't matter, he could come whenever he wanted.

[Ultraman Tiga: No food or travel expenses included, you can come whenever you want. 】

[Don’t like humans: Do you scratch your bones every day, for fear that some rotten flesh will fall off and you will suffer? Are you embarrassed to be stingy like this? ! 】

[Ultraman Tiga: Love comes or not, I’m already taking good care of you without charging you any money, otherwise I’d record it with a memory crystal and then find someone else to write a book and sell it, which wouldn’t make more money. 】

After Amberxiu said this, he quickly took out the memory crystal and put it in his pocket.

This dwarf vampire really reminded him that this is completely okay. I believe this record can be sold for a sky-high price!

At most, giving this dwarf vampire a small discount during the auction would be considered worthy of him.

Huggie Stone came very quickly, directly teleporting to Amberxiu's side, still followed by the blood slave orcs he had just accepted.

I don’t know how Heggy Stone trained him. This orc who once resented Amberxiu is now numb. He follows Heggy Stone obediently and holds a lot of food for him like a servant. s things.

Ambrose didn't bother to look further and just asked Heggie Stone: "Are you really going to follow me? Do you guys have to go to such trouble to do history?"

Huggie Stone wore a robe, wrapped his body tightly, and flew half a head taller than Amberxiu. When Amberxiu said this, he said condescendingly: "What do you know? You can only tell if you see it with your own eyes." It’s history. Who knows how many words you, a lich, said will be true when I ask you later?”

Amberxiu asked: "Slander! As a historian, you use this kind of prejudice to record the protagonist of the story. Is what you write still history?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not just you who has a vest! It's not like I don't have a pen name that specializes in writing wild history! Have you read "The Goblin Guards in Lane's Harem"? I wrote it, and the supplement of "Legendary Curse" has been the best-selling one for three consecutive years. If it hadn’t been interrupted later, I would have won five consecutive championships!”

What Huggie Stone said was so proud that even Amber Xiu was shocked.

This book was actually written by this guy, which is really amazing. There were times when he forgot about food and sleep to catch up on updates.

However, this dwarf vampire stuffed all his resentment towards Ryan into the book, and the Ryan royal family in it looked so green.

"No, you mean, you came here specifically to write my unofficial history?! That won't work, unless you pay more!"

Amberxiu was quite angry. It would be fine if this dwarf vampire came to sing his praises. If he came to write an unofficial history, he would have to pay more. At least half of the royalties would be shared after the publication!

But Huggie Stone said excitedly: "What the heck, when did I say I was going to write an unofficial history about you? How can you, a bone-crunching lich, write an unofficial history?! Who would read it?! You don't even want to add any material. Faga!”

The two argued for a long time about the royalties, until Isabel brought a large pot of boiled water to the guests.

This is very true to Amber Xiu's example. Even if you are a vampire, you will still be given boiled water.

Huggie Stone took a drink of his own and spat directly into the cup. This stubborn lich has so many beautiful girls in this castle, but he doesn't even give him a sip of fresh blood.

However, for the sake of his great book, Huggie Stone decided not to argue with the lich, but asked Amberxiu: "How far has it progressed now?" An idol was too lazy to argue with Huggie Stone anymore. This dwarf vampire seems to have some discrimination against lichs. I really don't plan to write additional content, so let him do whatever he wants.

"Senior Poet reminded me that there may be mind flayers in the Land of Chaos, the garbage dump of the gods. I have asked tiefling to help me search for them, but I don't know how long it will take."

Under normal circumstances, Gary Watts can cast the wish spell many times. It shouldn't be difficult to find someone, but it depends on whether the tentacle monster from the land of chaos is willing to pay the price to help. The casting of the wishing spell requires the consumption of materials. How many things can he consume in the land of chaos?

"Of course, I'm not going to place my only hope on tieflings. Although you said that the mind flayers are extinct, what if there are still a few of them lurking? I heard that the lifespan of the mind flayers is quite long. Regardless of survival, They can live for more than a hundred years no matter how bad the environment is, and they only need to eat one brain per month to survive. This requirement is so simple that it is not surprising that a minority of people survive.”

Hearing Amberxiu question his opinion, Huggie Stone was not angry, but helped him think.

"Your statement makes sense. The Githyanki were also one of the slaves of the Mind Flayer Empire at the beginning. Their rebellion led to the collapse of the Mind Flayer Empire on the Material Plane, but the two sides were also at odds for a long time. It is very possible that the inner demon is not dead, but it is too difficult to find such monsters. Their camouflage ability is very strong and their breeding methods are also very insidious. "

The way the mind flayers reproduce is to plant mind flayer tadpoles into the bodies of intelligent beings. As the tadpoles grow, the brains of the intelligent beings will be eaten and replaced by tadpoles. When the tadpole reaches full maturity, the intelligent being is transformed into a mind flayer.

Regardless of the original race, after the transformation, it will turn into a strange appearance with an octopus head, and the body will be completely transformed into the mind flayer race, and the original memory and appearance will not be retained.

Perhaps in the mind flayer's view, only his own race is perfect, and other races, even dragons, are just inferior creatures with huge flaws.

The incubation period of this mind flayer tadpole can be as long as ten years, and the mind flayer is good at mind control spells. It can easily control a large number of ordinary people to cover for itself, and it is very simple to hide.

"I can try to predict it, but I don't think I will get a very good result."

Every mature prophecy mage can sense something before making a prophecy. This is actually a reminder given to you by the goddess of destiny. I know that it feels wrong, but I force divination to make up for this uneasiness, and the result is that I will be kicked in the face by the goddess.

Therefore, Amber Xiu would rather find information slowly by himself than use such a tricky method to divination.

"I heard that your prophecy mages avoid a lot of things. I really don't know what the use of this ability is."

Huggie Stone complained, then picked up a small book, curled up a quill at the corner of his robe and wrote down on it: "Even if blasphemy has become Ultraman Tiga's habit, what happened this time The difficulty still made him frown deeply. He stared at the yellowed ancient scroll in front of him, tapping his forehead from time to time, as if he was having a fierce debate with the sea of ​​knowledge deep in his heart..."

Amberxiu didn't know what he was writing, and was still thinking about how to find traces of the mind flayer on the mainland.

After thinking for a long time, Amberxiu asked again, "You seemed to say just now that the Githyanki overthrew the Mind Flayer Empire?"

Without raising his head, Huggie Stone continued to write the next sentence carefully: "Even Master Ultraman Tiga has problems that he cannot solve. In the end, he can only close the book and ask his wisest and most knowledgeable teacher. Mentor the greatest historian Huggie Stone for advice..."

After writing this sentence, Huggie Stone raised his head and said to Amberxiu: "What did you ask just now?"

"I was asking about the fall of the mind flayer empire, and you said they were overthrown by the Githyanki?"

Umbersheu repeated it, and Heggy Stone explained: "There are many theories for the fall of the Mind Flayer Empire, and Githyanki resistance is just one of them. There are also theories of internal struggles and divisions, and there are also theories of large-scale divisions. The idea of ​​a virus outbreak. But if you want to talk about the Githyanki, that's where they got their name. The Gith is the hero who liberated all the Githyanki, and the Githyanki are named after him. People do hunt mind flayers in countless planes, and they are the best mind flayer hunters.”

Amber Xiu nodded, this was another clue.

Huggy Stone continued to write and record: "With the guidance of Huggy Stone's mentor, Ultraman Tiga was like finding a star guiding the direction in the dark night. Huggy Stone's wisdom traveled through time and space. "

"Then I can talk to the Githyanki." Umbershoe said to himself.

Compared to the mind flayers, who have no clues, the Githyanki are easy to find. They still have thousands of living people, and there aren’t many places where they can survive. You can find them just by asking around. .

Huggy Stone was recording and mockingly said: "You go talk to the Githyanki? What are you talking about? You just slaughtered thousands of their brethren. Githyanki are the most vengeful. How dare you show up?" , they dare to fight you."

Amber Xiu chuckled: "There is no business that cannot be discussed."

"Okay, send me some Githyanki virgins later, their blood tastes good."

After Huggy Stone said this, he wrote another sentence: "Hucky Stone's kind advice was not recognized by Ultraman Tiga. The lich was still prepared to use the most cruel method to force him to find out what he wanted. Heji Stone can only pretend to ask for prisoners from Ultraman Tiga to save the lives of a few Githyanki."
