This Lich Needs More Money

Raul experienced the longest two minutes of his life.

Screams, roars, running around, and the sound of crying and begging for mercy...the chaos made Raul's ears buzz.

The carefully fortified castle was torn to pieces as if it were made of cardboard. The mage consultant hired with a lot of money teleported away after throwing a fireball. The mercenaries who were usually well fed and fed were trampled to death after a few of them were trampled to death.

Everything he had worked so hard for was completely destroyed in just two minutes.

Until the black knight, covered in blood, walked to the highest point of the castle and came to Raul, everything was destroyed.

The Black Knight casually threw the mercenary's body with his head crushed in front of Raul and asked, "Do you still want to resist?"

Raul looked at the bloody scene in disbelief and asked with a trembling voice: "Who are you? I have never offended you, why do you want to..."

The black knight interrupted impatiently: "Have those slaves ever offended you? How old are you, and you are not a child who has never seen the world, and you still ask such questions?"

Hasting was an adventurer when he was still alive and had seen more life and death than Raul. Even if he had a tragic past of being fucked by a hag or being turned into an undead by a lich, he still wouldn't. Would be childish like Raul.

In the end, Raul stopped resisting and looked like he was at the mercy of others.

Hasting grabbed him, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked: "Where is the woman who gave you bad advice?"

Raul was stunned for a moment. Why would the black knight ask this? He knew about Ivy's existence?

"Who are you?" Raul asked excitedly.

"You don't even recognize me... Oh, that's normal. My armor is new. I'm Hasting, remember?"

"Hasting?!"

Raul has an impression of this name. Isn't this the undead under the lich? Why did he suddenly appear here and kill his own manor?

Raul said angrily: "Did Isabel ask you to come?!"

Hastingti walked away from Raoul and looked around but did not see Ivy's presence. He said a little impatiently: "You have a somewhat weak IQ. I told you that my master ordered me to come!"

Raul's eyes widened and he said to himself in shock: "Master...how is this possible...he..."

Hasting was too lazy to pay attention to this reckless guy, and knocked on his chest. A ball of mercury flowed out from the gap in the armor, and then quickly condensed into a human form.

Hasting ordered: "Hares, go find that woman and kill her directly."

Hares said hesitantly: "Ah, this is not good, the master said, no one will live or die until you resist. This person has been caught."

Hasting snorted coldly and said: "Master, how can I care about the life and death of such a woman? This bitch is making trouble and causing you and my brother to make this extra trip. Isn't this right?"

Hares nodded quickly, then melted into a ball again, began to swim quickly on the ground, and disappeared after a while.

Hasting continued to hold Raul and walked down the castle. Before he could reach the bottom, Hares came back. Wrapped in the mercury was a dead human head, which was the woman who was lying in Raul's arms just now.

Raul stared at the head blankly, unable to understand what happened to him, and then he felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted.

After confirming that Raul was completely unconscious, Hares complained: "Brother, why are you doing so much trouble? We still have to perform this act in front of him. It is obviously to give Miss Isabel a vent, and it is said that we want revenge. ”

Hasting snorted coldly and said, "I think you don't understand at all. Just let Miss Isabel know about it. If Raul knows about it, this idiot might blame his sister again." Do you think we are selling favors or sowing discord?

"Now that Raul hates us, Miss Isabel has to accept our favor. Sooner or later, this favor will be useful. Working under our lich master is not only about fighting and killing, but also about being friendly and worldly."

Hares said helplessly: "It's more complicated than when we were adventurers."

"Of course, in the past, we used to fight against the bottom class, but now who is not the top person in the world? We are just ordinary adventurers. You are a ranger and I am a thief. We don't want to be eliminated like this idiot. , then you have to understand your status clearly." Hasting was educating his brother, and suddenly said: "You were not that stupid before. Don't you understand this because you sleep for too long? , So you became stupid?"

Hares said helplessly: "This is how you become an undead. You will gradually lose all kinds of desires, and naturally you will also lose the ability to think. That is, the master added some materials to our souls, so that we can survive until now. You If you don't get enough sleep, your will will fade faster."

"That won't work. I have to tell the master about this when I get back. I don't want to become a zombie that drools all day long."

"Yes, if I lose consciousness I will really turn into a pile... I think those mercury zombies are living quite comfortably. The earliest batch can already work as workers on the assembly line."

The two brothers chatted and took the unconscious Raul back to the castle.

Amberxiu didn't ask for specific details and asked the two brothers to wake Raul up.

Seeing Amber Xiu in the mirror, Raoul trembled and said, "Master, it turns out you are really resurrected."

Amberxiu said with a smile: "Why, if I hadn't been resurrected, you still think you were right, right?"

Raul said reluctantly: "Where did I go wrong? I just tried my best to climb up. In the end, I just didn't know that you were resurrected. If I knew, how dare I..."

"But Isabel didn't know that at first."

Amberxiu's words made Raul silent for a moment, and then he said even more excitedly: "That's because Isabel is a woman, she is different from me! I have to climb up, I have to gain power in this cruel world Only then can I save my life, otherwise I will be easily destroyed by you like today.

"I know the despair when waiting to die. Every time I have a nightmare, I will dream about that scene. I just want to control my own destiny. What's wrong? I don't have as much power as you, sir. I can only rely on making money to buy protection. With my own strength, I have to deal with people when doing business. In this dwarf capital, the Alchemy Association is so powerful, what's wrong with me cooperating with them?

"If you were still alive, master, I would never do this. If you could give me even a little help, I wouldn't need to ask those alchemists! Why should I be wrong? Anyone in my position would do it No one is willing to bow to fate if they make the same choice!"

Amberxiu was not impatient. He waited for Raoul to express all his grievances and did not refute. He just said calmly: "Yes, no one wants to be controlled by fate. Including me, we are all following fate." Fight.

"But you lost."

Raul looked at Amberxiu in surprise, thinking that this wise man who had been transported by the world would have a long speech, but this is the result?

Amberxiu said strangely: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Raul was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Did you lose? He had indeed lost. The territory he had finally built was easily broken through, the mercenaries escaped, and all the slaves took advantage of the chaos. He would definitely lose money until he went bankrupt. This was not a loss.

But, is that all?

Ambrose knew exactly what Raoul was thinking, and just said calmly: "Raoul, the world is not that complicated, and I don't want to tell you any big principles. If you think that everyone in your position will do the same thing, Choice, also think that you have done everything you can do to the best, so what is there to be unwilling to do?

"If we do it again, wouldn't the result be the same?

"You feel like you worked very hard, but you still lost. Choice is greater than hard work, and luck is greater than choice. That's how fate sometimes is."

Raul said excitedly: "Then what's the meaning of life?"

"Find your own meaning. I don't care about you. Now, go and apologize to Isabel, and then go to work on Silver Coin Island and think about the meaning of your life on the factory assembly line."

Amberxiu waved his hand impatiently and asked Hasting to throw the person into the teleportation array.

After Raul disappeared, the two brothers Hasting and Harris approached the magic mirror with playful smiles.

Amber Xiu knew that something was up with them as soon as he saw the appearance of these two guys, but seeing that they were doing things quite safely, he reluctantly listened to what they wanted to say.

When Hasting and Harris mentioned the negative effects of the undead's constant loss of will, Amberxiu clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I would have forgotten about it if you didn't mention it. It just so happens that I have an experiment here, maybe it can To completely solve this problem, there is a lack of experimental materials... Oh, no, do you want to try it?"

Hasting:…

Harris:…

Just now, did the Lich Master talk about the experimental materials?

Hasting couldn't help but ask: "Master, can you ask about the dangers of this experiment?"

Amber Xiu said confidently: "Don't you understand my methods? Even if your soul is broken, I can sew it up and patch it up for you. I guarantee you won't die."

Hasting and Harris looked at each other, and both read the meaning of "something bad happened" from the other's posture.

They knew this master's habits very well. He promised that he would not die. That was true, but it meant that this experiment would most likely shatter his soul.

However, just because they understood Amber Xiu's habits, the master's eyes lit up. Even if they refused, this experiment must be done.

At this time, can they still refuse?

Hares spoke first: "Master, we are 100% willing to be volunteers, but last time I was transformed into an undead first, while Hasting was locked in a container for a long time. This time, I can't be the first. Please let me come first."

"ha?"

Hasting looked at his brother in shock. This kid, who said he had become stupid before, now seems to be completely faking it!

Serving this master is indeed not about fighting and killing, it is all about worldliness.
