This Lich Needs More Money

Deep underground, hundreds of ferocious ghouls were still digging sand and stones frantically.

Their fangs and claws were constantly broken due to excessive force, but they were constantly regenerated under the cover of the huge dark magic.

With these groups of crazy and tireless miners, the gravel and sand were quickly cleared, revealing a huge passage.

The elegant ghoul in a dress walked through his servants and went all the way to the depths of the passage.

A huge arch appeared at the end of the passage, a flesh and blood door that was stronger than steel.

The ghoul Yugashi reached out and knocked, but the subtle movement made a huge sound, and the vibration was repeatedly transmitted underground, shaking countless sand and stones above to fall.

Until the passage was mostly buried again, Yugaxi sighed and said, "Are you still asleep? How good is your sleep quality, old friend!"

There was still no response from inside the gate. Yugaxi sighed and said helplessly, "I really don't want people to see me like this."

The next second, Yugaxi's body swelled up like a blow, and the gentleman's suit on his body was completely torn. Those huge muscles seemed to have turned into tumors, and each piece had its own heart beating wildly.

In this form, Yugaxi swung his claws.

The scarlet light attached to the claws. At the beginning, the members of the mourning poetry society were powerless to the corpse of the Rose Spider Queen, and it was difficult to even cause damage, but Yugaxi could disembowel the corpse and prevent the Rose Spider Queen from automatically regenerating.

Now facing those flesh and blood that are harder than steel, Yugaxi can still tear them into large pieces and stuff them into his mouth.

"Tsk, it's so disgusting!"

Yugaxi complained.

These specially processed flesh and blood are very hard and chewy, which is a very good food for ghouls, but they can only provide energy, and the taste is not very good, just like chewing tasteless bacon, which is only greasy and disgusting.

But ghouls are not picky eaters, and this form consumes a lot of energy, so Yugaxi must eat something to replenish it.

After a while, Yugaxi dug a big hole in the gate.

This legendary ghoul restrained his strength and returned to his skinny appearance. His dress was already tattered, but he still tidied it up a little before walking into the gate.

After entering the door, Yugaxi said loudly to the darkness: "Old man! How long are you going to sleep? Arthur Ryan is resurrected, don't you want to see your old comrades?!"

In the darkness, two red lights lit up, and the earth-shaking earthquake came.

Yugaxi narrowed his eyes and transformed into the tumor-shaped ghoul again, blocking his claws in front of him.

Just as he was about to take a stance, a huge fist hit him in front of him. The fist alone was bigger than Yugasi's body.

The huge force pushed Yugasi out more than ten meters and plowed several scratches on the solid ground.

Yugasi blocked the punch, then smiled and said, "Old man, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still so irritable when you wake up?!"

The giant fist was retracted, and the two red lights in the darkness became more conspicuous. A deep voice came: "Arthur Ryan? He is dead!"

Yugasi regained his human form again and patted the dust on his body.

"Old man, you have been sleeping for too long. Arthur Ryan has indeed resurrected. Do you want me to tell you what happened recently?"

The red light in the darkness was much less, and a deep voice came: "Recently, what year do you mean?"

Yugasi said: "Then let's talk about the last thousand years."

...

In the darkness, two old antiques who had lived for who knows how many years were talking about major events in the past thousand years. One was talking and the other was listening. After who knows how long, the topic finally came to the recent.

"This lich is very interesting. Arthur Ryan was dug out by him. I don't know the specific details yet, but I can be sure that it is the real thing."

The shadow in the dark was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I will let him die again! I will kill him with my own hands!"

"I thought you and he were comrades-in-arms?"

"Yes, that's why I want to kill him."

"Reason?"

"You don't need to know."

"That's great, I just need your help. Old man, you should still remember the reason why the Mourning Poetry Society was established?"

"Well...but it has nothing to do with me."

Yugasi laughed sharply.

"I know, that's why we can be friends. Aige has already embarked on another path, she will not be my competitor, Gareth has been bound, and he has lost his qualifications. In the Mourning Poets Society, I had no rivals, but this lich... the president seems to be very optimistic about him."

"I'm not interested, why are you telling me this? The members of the Mourning Poets Society are not allowed to kill each other. Even if you want to eliminate your competitors, what can you do? Do you dare to violate the rules of the Mourning Poets Society?!"

Yugasi tapped his knees lightly with his nails, and said calmly and firmly: "If necessary, of course I dare. But the final decision is made by our president. If I violate the rules he set, I will lose. So, I will use other methods to solve it."

The giant in the dark was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yugasi, have you ever thought that you are obviously the first member to join the Mourning Poets Society after the president and vice president, but for so many years the president has been constantly absorbing new people instead of directly giving you the final reward. Perhaps, it's because you don't meet the qualifications."

"It's possible." Yugashi's calmness surprised the giant in the darkness, and the elegant ghoul continued: "But the president didn't announce my failure, so I still have a chance. And as long as there is a chance, I won't give up. Those young people don't know the real secret of the Dead Poets Society, they don't even know when they are disqualified from participating in this competition, and this is my advantage."

The dark giant was silent again, and then sighed.

"I don't understand your thoughts, but just tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as it doesn't violate the rules of the Dead Poets Society, I can help you."

Yugaxi said happily: "I know you are reliable. Of course I will not let you break the rules. I just want you to seriously help the newcomers get through the difficulties at hand. I hope that this lich can be promoted to a god as soon as possible, then he will also You will lose the qualification to compete with me.”

"How far is he from becoming a god?"

"I don't know, he is very weird. Logically speaking, as a mortal who provoked the war between gods and deceived many gods, he should have been recognized by Io long ago. But he has never responded. I guess the president stopped him. Promotion, or other reasons, but that doesn't matter. If he continues to be arrogant, Io will not sit back and let the gods interfere with mortals at will, nor will he allow a mortal to become a god or destroy him at will. This is his final fate.”

"Okay, I'll help him, but I have to kill Arthur Lane."

"You can handle this yourself. I don't doubt your determination, I only doubt your ability. You were no match for Arthur Lane when you were still alive. Now you have become an undead. The Holy Light restrains you. The effect is stronger, can you block Arthur Lane's Holy Slash?"

"I don't know, but Arthur Lane must die!"

"Then don't be impulsive. Wait until you are absolutely sure. Now, please stretch your muscles and bones. It's time to see this new world, old guy."

When Yugaxi walked out of this underground ruins, there was a five-meter-tall monster behind him.

If Amber Xiu were here, he would be able to recognize him at a glance. Isn't this the giant puppet he saw in the Arena of Storms?

Comparing the two, this giant is just bigger and looks stronger.

Bathed in the sunshine, the dark giant raised his hand to cover the vicious sun. Although the sunlight had little effect on him, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the golden sea of ​​sand in front of him, the dark giant couldn't help but roar.

The huge sound wave shook the sand and dust everywhere, as if a small sandstorm had been set off.

After venting for a while, the dark giant asked Yugashi, "Now, where are you going?"

Yugashi pointed forward, and then said: "Speaking of stretching the muscles and bones, of course hunting is the first step. Old guy, have you ever eaten the meat of a paladin? With your size, you can take just one bite."

"Paladin...I forgot."

"Then eat more and you will remember it soon."

A bloody storm rolled up, and the two powerful undead disappeared. The bloody storm flew towards the nearest city of Lane.

Two hours later, this small city of thousands of people was captured, and dark magic enveloped the entire city. By the time reinforcements from the Lane people arrived, the city had become ruins.

Thousands of residents were all missing, leaving no bodies behind except bloodstains on the ground.

This incident alarmed the entire Lane, who thought it was the Dwarf Kingdom launching a counterattack, and the already tense situation in Lane deteriorated again.

Lane's need for weapons of war was even greater.

Amberxiu receives urging from Ange Watson every day, hoping that he can complete the transaction as soon as possible.

Amberxiu didn't expect that the dwarves could suddenly cause trouble. He went to the dwarves overnight to inquire about the news, only to find that it was not the dwarves who had done it. Ryan's border town in the desert was not destroyed by the dwarves at all.

In the end, Amber Xiu could only sigh with emotion, this Lane man has so many enemies.

However, selling airships is definitely not impossible. Amber Xiu does not want to sell the most powerful war weapon to this little emperor who is suspected of being a dragon tyrant.

In the end, Amberxiu only sold a few jetpacks, but the effect was the same. Let Ryan's paladins put on jetpacks and fly in the sky with the magic mirror, and they could still complete the battlefield reconnaissance work.

It's just that the efficiency is definitely not as good as that of an airship. The endurance of an airship is much better than that of a jetpack. It can fly for several hours without landing.

The jetpack's longest battery life is only half an hour, and then it must land to replenish its magic power.

A jetpack is cheap and is a personal equipment. Its operation requirements are simpler than that of an airship. It can also relieve Ryan's urgent need.

After regaining the information advantage, the threat posed by the orcs to Ryan has also been reduced a lot, and there was even a feeling of evenness after several frictions.

The orcs can be micromanaged, but they only have one excellent commander, while Lane has a large number of frontline commanders who are better than the orcs.

If one person cannot accurately control tens of thousands of troops, then change it to two hundred.

Ange Watson took advantage of Ryan's strength, directly breaking it into parts, monitoring the entire scene through the magic mirror in the air, and then relying on the lower-level officers on the front line to respond to the situation. The effect was surprisingly good, repelling the orcs' tentative attempts again and again. attack.

The battlefield between the orcs and Ryan finally entered a "bad war" state. It means that both sides know the basics and know that sending troops is useless, but they are forced to take action.

War is no longer a game of tactics and courage, but has become a simple tug-of-war and attrition, depending on who can't hold on first.

This kind of war of attrition can destroy morale and spirit the most. After a month, both sides unanimously chose to temporarily cease the war.

There was no mutual announcement, but the orcs no longer sent troops to try to cross the river, and Llane no longer sent warships to fire at the orc docks from a distance.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone needs a truce.

Perhaps when the river freezes over, the two sides will fight again.

At this time, Amber Xiu finally waited for the reply. The orc commander finally took the time to meet with him. At Amberxiu's request, the orc commander will meet with Amberxiu in the capital of the orc kingdom.

The terrain of the Orc Kingdom is composed of various undulating peaks, and the capital is also the same. It is a city built on a mountain. The population is not too large, but it is one of the best in terms of grandeur.

Half of the palaces built on the mountain are hidden in the clouds, and countless thunder and lightning strike these palaces all the time. These thunders will become the source of magic power for the entire orc capital, providing various life conveniences for the orcs.

It wasn't Amber Xiu's first time here, but he still admired the designer's idea. It not only solved the problem of thunder, but also provided the city with an endless supply of magic power. I heard that this was a technology from a lost magic civilization. Magic pipes were laid throughout the city, turning the capital into a huge magic circle.

It's a pity that the development of magic technology of the orcs is very average. The magic power converted from these thunder and lightning is only used for water supply and heating. The rest is the magic power converted into city defense.

Amberxiu felt that this was a complete waste. This was already the core area of ​​the orc kingdom. If the enemy attacked here, there would be no need to attack at all. The orcs would automatically collapse after being surrounded for a few years.

Therefore, Amber Xiu felt that there was no need to build magic defenses for war here. If these magic powers were used to develop people's livelihood, the Orc King's capital would probably become the richest city in the mainland.

"What a pity, these orcs don't understand economics at all."

Amberxiu sighed with emotion, and entered the royal capital under the leadership of a group of orc soldiers.

The gleaming swords and guns were raised high, setting up a direction sign for Amber Xiu's path forward. This is the highest welcome courtesy of the orcs. As long as a warrior can walk through this cold and shining passage without changing his expression, he will gain the respect of the orcs.

But keeping a straight face was too simple for Amber Xiu. The undead had no expression at all if he didn't want to show any expression. He didn't think the orcs would have someone throw a cup in order to let these orc soldiers hack him to death with knives.

Therefore, Amberxiu may be the fastest guest in history to walk through the attack corridor. When he arrived at the One-Eyed Inn at the end of the journey, all the orcs cast admiring glances at him.

This lich is really powerful, every step he takes is so steady, and he is definitely not pretending to be calm.

Amber corrected her intention to ask about the location of the meeting with the orc commander, but suddenly she felt a little strange.

Amberxiu quietly took out a gemstone from his private space, which was emitting a faint red light, and the red light turned into an arrow, pointing at the door of the hotel.

The telepathic gem reacted at this time?

The orc soldier who was responsible for guiding the way said respectfully to Amber Xiu: "Master Ultraman, General Pacheco is waiting for you on the third floor."

Amber Xiu remained calm on the surface, but couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Are these orcs crazy? They found a mind flayer as their commander? !
