This Lich Needs More Money

"Master Ultraman, why is the last Holy King's spirit in your hands?"

Ariel's tone was very serious, her eyes fixed on Amber.

Amber said expressionlessly: "It was given to me by Ai Ge. We are both members of the Mourning Poetry Society, and our relationship is pretty good. Haven't you asked about what happened on the sea recently? I'm helping Ai Ge seize control of the volcanic sea area."

"I heard that although it happened in the deep sea, it is also closely related to us humans living on the sea."

Ariel said this, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart.

She didn't know what she had discovered, but the sense of déjà vu along the way made her feel something was wrong!

This feeling was very strange. Obviously nothing happened, but she was restless in her heart.

Therefore, Ariel couldn't help asking, "Have you known the owner of the Silent Night Sea for a long time?"

"Not too long, oh, this is counted as a ghost, I joined the Mourning Poetry Society for less than a hundred years. But from a human perspective, we are old friends who have known each other for most of our lives."

This answer is also correct, but Ariel's doubts did not disappear.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

But what is the problem?

Ariel was about to continue asking, but saw Arthur Ryan draw out his sword, pointing to the distance and said: "You two, I'm afraid it's not the time to chat now, there seems to be something in front."

The two followed Arthur Ryan's gaze.

There was originally a fog behind the huge arch, but now, a large shadow appeared in the fog, as if some huge monster was about to rush out of the fog.

Amber was about to sense it, but found that the black shadow in the fog quickly dissipated, not knowing whether it hid or left.

"It seems that Talos's blessing can't let us walk sideways here. Let's cheer up, this place may cause death. Princess, I don't think you are going to become a ghost, right?"

Ariel also knew that the time was not right, so she could only pick up the hammer again and look ahead vigilantly.

Umbert waved his hand and said to Arthur Ryan: "Your Majesty, please lead the way in front."

Arthur Ryan smiled bitterly, did not refute, and walked towards the fog with big strides.

Although Arthur Ryan was not good at lying, he also heard that the conversation just now was wrong. He accidentally said the wrong thing and let Umbert start to lie to the little girl again. It's better for me to keep my mouth shut, otherwise this lich can do anything.

The holy light on Arthur Ryan was shining, and he strode into the fog.

The holy light was still conspicuous in the thick fog, like a guiding light, leading Umbert and Ariel forward.

The three of them were vigilantly watching their surroundings, not letting go of any disturbance.

This might be the most powerful warrior-mage-priest trio in the world.

Arthur Ryan is the most famous paladin in history, the absolute chosen of the Lord of Dawn, and the great hero who killed the dragon tyrant.

Ariel is the chosen of Talos, a storm priest holding a divine weapon.

As for Amber, he is a dual practitioner of prophecy and necromancy, and possesses several legendary graces. Perhaps all the mages in the world combined do not have as many tricks as him.

Together, this trio really doesn't have to worry about any enemies.

It's just that they have been deep into the fog all the way, but they have not encountered any danger, which makes the three of them feel that they have overworked.

But it's not that they didn't find anything. Amber soon found the traces left by the Githyanki.

There are many footprints and a small amount of blood on the severely weathered ground. I think they are carrying the wounded.

They should have entered from the underground maze. I don't know how many people they sacrificed to get here without the blessing of Talos. Amber simply followed the footsteps of the Githyanki and soon came to a huge platform.

This looked like an altar, with a diameter of about 200 meters. There were three clear lightning reliefs on the ground. The material used was the same as the arch, and it could still maintain its original appearance after countless years.

The three lightnings were the mark of Talos. This was obviously the altar of Talos.

Amber turned around and found that the three lightning marks led to three different directions. They were three passages built on the water, extending into the depths of the fog.

Unfortunately, Amber didn't know much about Talos's beliefs and didn't understand the difference between the three passages.

Fortunately, they had a devout believer of Talos here.

Although Ariel didn't live in ancient times, she knew the meaning of the three lightnings very well.

"This is the emblem of Talos from ancient times. The three lightning bolts should be green, blue and red respectively, but no one has maintained it for too long, and the colors have all been erased. According to ancient records, the three colors of lightning represent three different tests, green is disaster, blue is destruction, and red is rage. But I am not very clear about the specific content.

"According to my guess, this should be the entrance to the Storm Arena. The warriors participating in the duel need to complete the first sacrifice to the Lord of the Storm on this altar, and then choose a direction to enter. After passing the test, they should be able to enter the final arena and compete for the final victory."

After saying this, Ariel looked at Amber. It was still up to him to decide which path to choose in the end.

Amber Xiu didn't care about the content of the test, but carefully observed the traces left on the three passages. Then he found that there were bloodstains and footprints of Githyanki on two of the passages, but the footprints were very messy, and it was a bit difficult to tell which direction they were going, and it was also impossible to judge how many Githyanki there were.

"Look, these footprints and bloodstains are interesting."

Ariel asked doubtfully: "Did they split into two groups?"

Arthur Ryan said: "No, they should have entered one of the roads, then retreated and chose the second road again. You see, there are more footprints and more bloodstains on the passage of the Trial of Destruction. I guess the Githyanki chose this road first, but failed the trial, so they returned the same way, and then chose the Trial of Fury."

Amber Xiu nodded and agreed with Arthur Ryan's inference.

As expected of a legendary figure who started from scratch, such details can only be noticed by people with rich adventure experience. Before Arthur Ryan raised the banner of rebellion, he had been traveling and accumulated rich adventure experience.

Although Ariel is also a young genius, she has always been the princess of the kingdom, so she has less experience in this area.

"Then let's follow them?" Ariel asked.

Ambershu came here to find the Githyanki. Now that the Githyanki have run into the Fury Trial, it is natural for them to chase them.

But Ambershu said: "No, I think we can follow the path where the Githyanki failed. Princess, don't forget the words of the Lord of the Storm. He wants us to reproduce the gladiatorial combat of the year. Follow the Githyanki. Whether we kill all the Githyanki or we pass the trial with the Githyanki, this may not be what the god wants to see."

The bear child god is now watching the mortals fighting with great interest. If Ambershu follows the Githyanki to pass the test or sneaks in advance, Talos may not be happy.

Ariel understood what Amberhsu meant. As expected, she was chosen by the gods. She could still understand what the Lord of Storms wanted. Ariel had to reflect on herself. She had been confused since she entered this place.

"I should cheer up. Now I should focus on completing the test of the gods!"

Ariel's face changed. The hammer in her hand was dancing with lightning, as if responding to her inner thoughts.

Amberhsu pointed to the passage where the Githyanki were defeated and said, "Let's choose the test of destruction. If we can solve the opponent that the Githyanki can't beat, I think Talos will be very happy."

Ariel immediately admired Amberhsu. The courage shown by this lich at the critical moment was worthy of Talos' favor.

But in fact, Amberhsu thought that the difficulty of these three tests was about the same. The road of destruction had been passed by the Githyanki once, so it should be weakened a little. Maybe he could get a bargain.

Since the decision was made, the three of them walked towards the middle passage.

Walking on the road paved with the blood of the Githyanki, they entered the mist of another stone archway.

After walking for about three or four hundred meters, they finally came to a huge platform from the narrow water passage.

The moment they stepped onto the platform, violent thunder fell from the sky and kept hitting the surroundings.

Except for the relatively stable time intervals, there was no other regularity.

I think this trial of destruction is to let the duelists fight in this thunder.

Amber Xiu had already put up the mage shield, and these lightnings fell on his body without any pain. The same was true for Arthur Ryan. His body was not afraid of ordinary lightning, and he didn't even dodge.

As for Ariel, she was already wrapped in the light of lightning, and she was integrated with the thunder around her. Not only was she not affected, but she seemed to be able to use this power.

The Chosen One is so powerful. The power of Talos will bring powerful blessings to Ariel.

When the three of them walked into the field, three huge figures also fell from the sky.

The loud rumbling made the ground shake violently, and Amberxiu almost lost his balance. Before they could see clearly what jumped out, a giant hammer was already spinning and flying towards Amberxiu.

The hammer head was almost as big as the carriage. This huge object weighing countless tons was thrown with a whistling sound. What kind of monster was it?

The giant hammer was constantly struck by lightning during the flight. The power of thunder gathered on it and emitted a dazzling light. If it was hit by this thing, it would first turn into fragments and then into charcoal.

However, Amberxiu didn't need to worry about this. Arthur Ryan's long sword had already met the giant hammer. With a flick of the sword, the thunder hammer flew out diagonally.

Arthur Ryan didn't spend much effort, but he had already resolved the thunder strike. This was the swordsmanship he had practiced for thousands of years.

At this time, they could see the person coming clearly.

The three giants, with an average height of more than four meters, held axes, hammers and giant swords in their hands, and each of their fingers was thicker than their thighs.

"For Talos!"

The three giants roared, and then rushed towards Amber and his men in three directions.

This might was like the charge of the Headless Knight Gareth.

Amber was dumbfounded. What the hell is this called a trial?

Were all the followers of Talos so brave back then? Who could beat this? !
