This Lich Needs More Money

In the Ryan Palace, Anger Watson came to this deserted place alone again.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that every time I come here, Ryan’s palace is colder than before.

It should be a place covered by holy light, but I can’t feel the warmth of the morning light.

“It should be because too many royal family members died.”

Anger Watson comforted himself in this way. Even if all the bodies were dealt with, there were still many rumors about the uncleanness of the palace. There were too many deaths, and even the holy light could not eliminate all the resentment at once.

But Anger Watson thought this was a good thing.

The emperors of Ryan in recent years have all been puppet-like reproductive machines. Now this one is the real emperor. Ryan, ruled by him, is slowly recovering from the crisis of division.

Anger Watson is also very confident that if he gives his majesty more time, Ryan will return to its most glorious time.

Walking into the empty hall, the young emperor still sat alone on the throne, looking a little lonely. Seeing Anger Watson coming, the emperor put down the heavy ancient book in his hand.

Ange Watson couldn't help but take a look, and saw the title of "Introduction to the Prophecy Mage" on the cover.

Why did your majesty start reading this kind of magic book?

The little emperor didn't hide it, put the book down casually, and then said enthusiastically: "Ange, you are finally back, how is the situation on the island?"

Ange Watson hurriedly reported.

"Your Majesty, various facilities on the island have begun to be built, and it is estimated that it will be completed in less than a month. This lich specifically chose to hold a meeting two months later. I think he still has a conspiracy.

"I noticed traces of a large magic circle on the island, but I can't tell what type of magic circle it is. I asked the lich and got the answer that it is used to defend the venue and prevent conflicts, but I can be sure that it is definitely not as simple as he said. "

The little emperor laughed.

"How could the lich be simple? I am not surprised by this method. I care more about other things. Ange, I heard that the lich held an auction on the island recently. What is the specific situation? ”

Hearing the emperor ask this, Anger Watson became even more excited.

"Your Majesty, this auction is really exaggerated, hundreds of millions of gold coins have entered his pocket. I never thought that he really captured all the dragons overseas, and those high-level magic equipment have become hot commodities. This lich did it on purpose, he hopes to increase pressure on us. ”

Anger Watson is also a knowledgeable person. Those high-level magic equipment sent to the orcs will significantly enhance the combat effectiveness of the orcs' legendary strongmen. Especially the "Red Wedding" specially made for the orcs. If this two-handed axe falls into the hands of the orc king, Anger Watson really has to worry about whether he can defend the city.

The Silver Moon Knight at the time could determine the outcome of the war alone. Although the orc king is not as good as the Silver Moon Knight, with this axe, he can exert a destructive power close to that of the Silver Moon Knight.

The little emperor didn't care about this, but just smiled and asked: "Tell me the truth, how much did it cost? I remember that before I set off, I approved a quota of 50 million gold coins for you. "

Ange Watson lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Your Majesty...the 50 million gold coins..."

"Spend it all?"

Ange Watson nodded, but seemed to have something to hide.

The little emperor was surprised and asked: "Not enough?"

Ange Watson knelt down and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I signed a loan of 40 million gold coins to the lich in the name of the Watson family, and did not use Ryan's wealth. This is to prevent the orcs from snatching this batch of magic equipment. "

The little emperor's hands trembled. For the entire Ryan Empire, this money is not much. But in recent years, Ryan has been fighting everywhere, and there have been many unnecessary losses, which have affected the economy. It's not to the point that people are starving, but it's really heartbreaking to spend hundreds of millions in just a few days.

What about borrowing money in the name of the Watson family? James Watson can't sell so much money even if he sells himself. In the end, the Ryan Empire will have to make up the money, otherwise the lich will dare to swallow all the previous deposits and send the equipment to the orcs.

The little emperor rubbed his eyebrows. It's okay to solve the problem that only needs money. The most feared thing is that there are other things.

As soon as this thought came up, Ange Watson said: "Your Majesty, there is a small episode related to Ryan."

The little emperor's fingers were shaking. Isn't this enough?

"Ange, you should say it all at once. "

Ange Watson hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's like this, there is a damn dwarf vampire on the island who is signing his books, and the content inside is disgusting."

"Signing?"

The little emperor was a little confused. Although it was strange for a vampire to sell books, what did this have to do with Ryan?

Wait, a dwarf vampire? Why does this sound so strange.

"Your Majesty, the damn vampire sold... taboo novels that fantasized about the Ryan royal family, and he was selling them in front of everyone. I had no choice but to spend money to buy all his books. "

The little emperor closed his eyes in despair. This money was spent in vain. How chaotic the Ryan royal family was had nothing to do with him. But he couldn't say this, and Ange Watson really couldn't ignore it.

"Forget it, don't care about this slander." The little emperor changed the question: "Did all the kingdoms bleed heavily at the auction, or did we spend a lot of money alone?"

Angor Watson breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor didn't care about his spending money.

"Your Majesty, it's not just us, even the druids of Emerald Dream Forest have suffered losses, and they were forced to do so."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment. Didn't this lich invite other kingdoms to support him? Why did he cheat his guests?

"What's going on? What did the lich do?"

Ange Watson explained: "The lich found many special species from overseas, such as deep-sea piranhas, evil vultures and poisonous plants. He said they were going to be transplanted to the mainland and prepared to be sold to the Alchemy Association of the Dwarf Kingdom for research. . The people from the Alchemy Association said on the spot that they would domesticate and raise these species, and the druids became anxious.

"The Emerald Dream Forest does not allow this kind of destruction of the environment to occur. We have to pay a huge price to buy these alien species and then release them."

The little emperor could imagine the expressions of the great druids. The lich just grabbed some overseas animals and plants. The Alchemy Association of the dwarves must have cooperated with him in his acting. It was almost zero cost. Just after extracting a large sum of money from the Druid... the little emperor couldn't help but sigh: "He is a money-making genius! I almost want to pry open his skull and study his soul!"

After being reminded by the mysterious man, the little emperor also believed that he had no essential conflict with the lich. He just wanted to make money. With Ryan's help, he would only make more.

It's time to have a good talk with this lich. Maybe it's a good choice to invite him to Lane for a chat in advance. Lane can definitely offer a price that makes him happy.

Just as he was thinking about how many days in advance to meet the lich, Ange Watson reported again: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this. Our magic mirror has been successfully developed."

Ange Watson presented two palm-sized metal mirrors.

The little emperor quickly reached out to take one of them, and quickly found the familiar operating button. After opening it, the two magic mirrors began to transmit images.

The sound and image are synchronized without any delay or blur.

The little emperor said excitedly: "It's exactly the same!"

Ange Watson also said excitedly: "Yes, functionally there is no difference."

The little emperor stroked the two mirrors and asked, "Has the safety and confidentiality been tested?"

"According to tests, neither the lich's magic mirror nor the magic mirror made by the Alchemy Association can communicate with each other. And they are not affected by remote control. In theory, they will not be discovered or controlled remotely."

This is the new type of magic mirror that Lane's skilled craftsmen have spent a lot of time and energy researching. They did not hesitate to pay heavy compensation, dismantled three magic mirrors to explore the principles inside, and secretly sent spies to the Alchemy Association to steal the magic mirror manufacturing technology.

The war made Ryan exert his powerful power. These alchemists who were once ignored finally made a breakthrough under the care of the Holy Light and completely mastered the method of making magic mirrors.

This thing is so ingenious yet so simple.

From now on, Ryan no longer has to worry about the lich turning off the use of all magic mirrors. This is a magic mirror that belongs entirely to Ryan.

"Your Majesty, I have left some members of the mission on the island in the name of security supervision. We can use this to contact them at any time."

"Good job, let me try it."

The little emperor opened the remote communication and soon saw a Lane person appearing on the mirror. Just as the other party was about to kneel down and salute, the little emperor said: "Don't move around, don't make any noise, take the magic mirror and walk around the island. I want to see the traces of the magic circle on the island."

Those who can be entrusted with important tasks by Ange Watson are not ordinary people, and they immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The mirror is covered with a translucent veil, making the picture a little hazy, but you can still see it clearly if you look closely.

As his vision moved, the little emperor saw everything on the road.

There are bustling construction sites everywhere, magnificent exhibition stands, and magic lines all over the island.

The little emperor looked at it for a while and couldn't help but frown.

Why is the pattern of this magic circle so weird? It doesn't look like the current spell structure, but more like some kind of spell from ancient times.

Generally speaking, the structure of spells is constantly being optimized. For the same magic effect, modern spells must be more energy-saving and more effective. Only those "forbidden spells" that are forbidden to be studied for various reasons will stop because no one improves them. change.

What is this magic circle? The little emperor vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere.

Perhaps, you can find it by checking the library of the Ryan royal family?
