This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 48 The Dice of Destiny Replaces the Future

 The light of the magic circle lit up, and the gold coins on the high platform began to melt rapidly.

Countless lights and shadows lit up, looking like videos from various angles of the Alchemy City, and there were many blurry figures that were condensing and dissipating.

 Havi said excitedly: "Success! I'm connected to destiny!"

 Harvey has indeed improved a lot, but it is still a bit reluctant for him to control this powerful magic circle.

 After these lights and shadows appeared, he only felt a big mountain pressing on him. The huge pressure came, making Harvey's heart beat faster and his body seemed to be shaking.

Amberxiu immediately reminded: "Don't resist, you are capturing a fragment of the future, not resisting fate. Don't you believe in fate? Death will come sooner or later as scheduled, it doesn't matter if it happens now or not!"

 Harvey smiled bitterly. No matter how much he accepted his fate, he could never be indifferent to death. It was easier said than done.

 Harvey could only try to focus his attention and try to find something he wanted from these ever-changing pictures.

 “The secret of the sewer…”

Harvey thought about this silently, and the flashing images began to slow down. The images of the city began to decrease, and the dark and damp sewers began to occupy more space.

 “Well done!” Amberxiu praised.

This kid is really talented. I don’t know who his teacher is. It’s very difficult to get started in the school of prophecy. It’s rare to have such a smart student. If you don’t keep him by your side and educate him well, he will be released to serve as a consultant to the poor little lord. It’s really It is a waste of natural resources.

With Harvey's efforts, the picture changes more and more slowly, and the light and shadow begin to freeze, turning into a fragment of shimmering blue light.

Harvey said excitedly: "Success, this is fate!"

This fragment seems to be a small piece stolen from the long river of time, playing the same scene over and over again.

A blurry figure appeared in the sewer, holding a luminous artifact in his hand. Powerful power fell from the sky, penetrated the surface of the earth, and fell into the man. The divine personality began to condense, and the shadows of countless gods appeared. Under their blessings and In a curse, a mortal ascends to the status of a god.

 A very detailed picture. Except for the vagueness of the person who became a god, and the unclear attributes of the godhead, all the other details are very real, as if it would really happen.

Harvey was about to dissipate the magic and cancel the ritual, but Amberxiu said: "Don't relax, this is a false fate."

 “False destiny?” Harvey said in surprise.

Amberxiu explained: "Yes, the madmen in the Alchemy City created a false destiny and misled all creatures with the ability to predict. I met a group of druids and a hag in the sewers before, and they were all prophesied. Seducing people into sewers.

“Prophecy is originally a glimpse into destiny. You can’t expect every peeper to see the same scene through the same peephole, unless someone deliberately falsifies it.”

 Harvey really didn’t expect that there was such a statement, which could create a false future and deceive all the prophets? What kind of magic is this? I'm afraid it has surpassed the level of legend, right?

"What now?" Harvey asked. He couldn't even tell the truth from the prophecy, let alone find the hidden truth.

"Use your power, the power of the prophecy school! Don't tell me that you haven't prepared anything these days. Whether it's to escape from prison or to kill me, you should have prepared many futures!" Amber Xiu explain.

 Harvey suddenly felt very embarrassed. It turned out that all his little actions were under Ambrose's observation.

 Prepare for the future, this is a very mysterious statement, and it is actually very mysterious.

  Mages of the prophecy school can materialize their destiny through meditation, such as turning it into a twenty-sided die.

 Throw this die before the future arrives to fix the number.

 Then, you can use the point rolled by this die to replace the future result. Replace a bad future with a large number of dice and turn it into a good thing. Replace a lucky future with a small number of dice and turn it into a bad thing. What’s even more outrageous is that this die of destiny not only replaces one’s own future, it can also replace someone else’s.

  Amberxiu used this method when he met the hag in the sewer before, replacing the future that the hag randomly teleported to, so that she would always be teleported to a nearby location and never be able to escape.

 This is the ability of the prophecy school to modify the results, just like the gods.

No one can tell clearly whether this displaced future can be regarded as a modification of destiny, or whether the act of replacement itself is destined.

Amberson has done many tests, but the result was that he was disoriented and did not get any answers.

 Now, Amberxiu wants Harvey to replace this future with his own dice.

If this is a false prophecy, it can be smashed to pieces with the Dice of Fate.

 Harvey took a deep breath and began to gather his strength.

Dices emitting the light of stars emerged one after another and began to fly around Harvey. This was him materializing his power of prophecy.

Seeing this scene, Amber Xiu was not very happy, and thought unhappily: "Tsk, only five dice... In my plan, at least seven dice can safely defeat this false fate."

  Harvey didn't know that Amber's opinion of him had dropped. He was now concentrating on controlling his Dice of Destiny, trying to use the power of the Dice of Destiny to modify the fragments of prophecy in front of him.

A dice flew out and fell into the debris, leaving only ripples.

 The picture in the fragments remains the same, and the blurry figure has become a god, as if nothing has changed.

 When Harvey saw this situation, he became heartbroken and smashed all the remaining four dice of destiny.

This time, the false prophecy fragments finally changed, a large number of cracks appeared, and then completely exploded.

Amberxiu sighed, dozens of destiny dice appeared around him, blasting all these broken futures into smaller pieces, and the entire laboratory was like a rain of light.

 The endless light fragments re-condensed after disintegrating and turned into seven tiny crystals, reflecting a different future.

Amberxiu sighed, and finally asked him to take action.

But having given up the way of prophecy, every time he uses the power of the prophecy school, it will be more difficult for him to enter a new path, and he will always be a parallel legend.

But now that it has been used, Amberxiu quickly checked the new future without caring about his emotions.

 In the first fragment, Amberxiu saw a small gold mountain, and millions of gold coins appeared in his laboratory.

 Very good, very good, God’s will, you deserve to be rich!

But what does this have to do with sewers?

From the second fragment, there appeared a strange beauty with a noble temperament, but her skin looked like white paper. She was holding Amber Xiu's head... only the head.

 The thing that Amberxiu feared most appeared.

 A future that is beneficial to me is God’s will. Should a future that is harmful to me be determined by me and not God?
