This Lich Needs More Money

Tiamat didn't expect Amber to ask the goddess of fate a question. She thought about it and then replied, "I think you are not asking about the twin goddesses of Luck and Doom. Do you want to know the story of their predecessor, the goddess of opportunity, Tyche?"

Amber shook her head and said, "I have heard this story many times. Mortal scholars say that the goddess Tyche was corrupted by the god of corruption and turned into a monster. She was finally killed by Selune and split into the twins, Luck and Doom.

"But if the goddess who controls fate can be hurt by a thorny rose, is Tyche really fate itself? ”

There are very few prophecy wizards, but every prophecy wizard has never given up the pursuit of the true meaning of destiny.

Amberxiu has naturally heard of the goddesses of luck and misfortune, including their origins and stories.

It is said that every influential person will meet the goddesses of luck and misfortune when he is born.

The goddess of luck Tymora will take out a gold coin with her portrait printed on it and play a coin tossing game with the girl of misfortune Benbasha.

If the girl of misfortune can guess the front and back, then the newborn will be cursed by the girl of misfortune, otherwise he will be blessed by the goddess of luck.

Only a few true legendary heroes will have the coin stand up when they toss it. This shows that neither of the two goddesses can interfere with his life, and he can control his own destiny.

This story sounds very fantastic, but it is precisely because Because of this widely circulated story, all prophecy wizards understand that these two goddesses cannot represent the true destiny.

Perhaps, they are just a higher level of the profession of prophecy wizard.

After the legend, there are these two goddesses.

But they are definitely not destiny itself.

The way everything in the world works, the integration of all past and future, cannot be simply expressed as luck and misfortune.

For the stone, there is no luck or misfortune, but it does not mean that the stone does not have its own destiny.

The same is true for heroes. If you can jump out of the control of fate so easily, then there should be no such concept in this world. Everything should be chaotic and unclear, and predicting the future should not exist.

So, the reverse reasoning can be obtained.

As long as the accuracy of predicting the future has never been broken, it means that That incomprehensible fate must exist, and everything that has been written cannot be modified, so there must be an infinite power to maintain this rule.

If the goddess of luck and the girl of misfortune are not fate itself, then what about their predecessors?

The goddess Tyche who was corroded and died by a cursed rose?

This is too funny, a pit that even prophecy wizards would not step on. How could the goddess of fate wear the incarnation of corruption on her head and not find it until it was purified by Selune?

This story is too stupid, and it is more like a little story imagined by mortals.

For this reason, Amber Xiu specifically consulted the gods he knew.

The God of Alchemy was young and could not know the truth; the Lord of Dawn was embarrassed and said nothing, it was rumored that the goddess Tyche was once his lover; Ogma said he did not want to answer this question; Jaeger said he never cared about fate; the Lord of Storms The Lord said that he seemed to have heard of it, but he was not familiar with it... Amber Xiu originally thought that he had a wide network of contacts in the circle of gods, but after asking around, he still couldn't find his own answer.

Very good, it fits the mystery of fate.

This also deepened Amber Xiu's idea that the goddess Tyche is not fate itself.

Can this infer that the god of fate itself does not exist, but is just an imaginary venting object for the prophet mages when they encounter misfortune?

Amber Xiu thought about this question seriously and finally denied this negative conjecture.

The reason is very simple, because he himself is special.

If every prophet mages were tossed a coin when they were born, then when the two old guys, Mr. Doom and Selwyn, were born, the doom girl must have won. And after Harvey was born, it should be the goddess of luck who won.

What about Amber Xiu?

The answer is that when he was born, the two goddesses did not play the coin tossing game.

Amber Xiu traveled through time, and he traveled with his physical body.

Amber Xiu initially imagined that Io personally summoned him, and he was the follower of the god above the god, the real son of luck.

After traveling through time for a hundred years, he gave up this boring fantasy.

So besides Io, are there any gods who can rescue people from another world?

The answer is yes, and there are many.

There are so many boundless planes that even Oghma cannot know everything, so the situation of a traveler like Amber Shu is not very special, until Amber Shu came into contact with fate.

Until now, all the gods have heard of his name.

But until now, Amber Shu still cannot see the true face of fate.

It is impossible that all gods do not know the existence of fate, and even Jaeger does not seem to want to talk about this topic, which makes Amber Shu feel more and more wrong.

After being ridiculed by Paruriel, Amber Shu vaguely felt that something was wrong. There must be a key to explain his experience and reveal where the goddess of fate is.

However, even Tiamat, the mother of dragons, could not provide any effective information. Does he really have to go and talk to the goddesses of luck and misfortune himself?

As the devil's duke, Amber Shu is qualified to send an invitation to the two goddesses, but Amber Shu always feels that this is not the right direction.

Assuming that today's luck and misfortune are just smoke bombs released by the real goddess of destiny, then why should you rush into them?

The real key lies in himself. Amberxiu can only assume that it was the goddess of fate who pulled him here, but for what purpose?

Tiamat looked at Amberxiu's troubled look and felt a bit gloating. This guy was also in such pain. If he had known this, he should have sprinkled salt on this wound.

However, Tiamat was not here to talk about faith with Ambrose. She was still more concerned about Ambrose's plan.

"Now Cyric has contacted those abyss demons, but he did not tell me how to lead you to the abyss. You are not a fool and will not go there yourself."

Amberxiu nodded and said: "Yes, so Cyric must want to seize my handle, grasp the conditions that I cannot refuse, and then force me to go to the abyss in person."

"Is this the bait you threw out again?" Tiamat asked.

"It's not a bait, it's a game." Ambrose said very seriously: "Cyric is not a fool. He will know what I mean. I use my weakness to seduce him to take action himself. He can bet against me. It's him. Even if I catch you, He will eat my bait and force me to go to the abyss.”

Tiamat said: "What if He doesn't gamble? No matter what bait you throw down, He can definitely encourage those mindless demons to take action. Cyric's favorite lie to stay out of trouble, no matter whether it will be exposed or not , has nothing to do with Him.”

Amberxiu said confidently: "Yes, I now call him a fun person who harms others but does not benefit himself. But baits must be alive to be useful, right? Those crazy demons will only crush the baits, In the end it was of no use.”

Tiamat's face was full of doubts. She felt that Amberxiu still had many secrets that she had not told him clearly. This plan sounded crude. For the sake of that possibility, would she send the things she cared about most to a dangerous place? This sounds very unreasonable.

Tiamat bet her two dragon heads that the damn trickster must have some hidden plan waiting for Cyric to crash into him.

However, Tiamat did not ask further questions. Just as Ambrose said, she originally did not want to get involved too deeply. Now she has the capital to watch the show, but if she continues to understand more, she may become part of the bait.

Tiamat stood up and turned around to leave, but in the end she reminded him: "Since you are ready, I won't be polite to you. Our cooperation ends here. If Cyric If I really find an opportunity, I will help you without hesitation. I believe you understand this? Your name will be added to the revenge list."

Tiamat smiled and said: "It's as if you didn't write it down. I never believed you could forget the past. By the way, give Zariel a message. If you can't go back to Paradise Mountain, you can come to me. There, the Dragon Clan will leave a place for Him.”

"Are you starting to poach now? Zarrell just agreed to work for me." Amberxiu said with a smile.

Tiamat said no more and turned into a blaze of flames and completely dissipated.

The moment Tiamat left, Amberxiu stopped smiling.

The thick Code of the Undead appeared in Amber Xiu's hand, and he moved his fingers, and soon left this sentence on the group chat: "Friends, my preparations have been completed, let's proceed as planned. "

Usually, as long as Amber Xiu sends a message, someone will always reply immediately.

But this time, there was no response from the Code of the Undead for a long time.

Amberxiu did not wait for a reply, closed the Code of the Undead and closed his eyes.

The huge body seemed to have fallen silent and merged with the entire large library. Amberxiu's consciousness had been immersed in the magic mirror, and all his attention was focused on the undead army that was about to leave.

Ange Watson was stuffed with a bunch of demands. He didn't look like a wage earner at all, but like a client making demands. However, Amberxiu still fulfilled his request and spent time discussing it carefully with Ange Watson. Optimization of various military types.

Amberxiu has the memory of his previous life. Although he only knows many things but does not know why, just a change in appearance can inspire Ange Watson. This military genius can quickly draw inferences about other cases. New ideas.

Amberxiu spent a lot of money to speed up time, and then he assembled such an army of undead.

As for the specific combat effectiveness, it must be tested through actual combat.

The undead do not need military exercises or political commissars to do ideological work. They will rush to the battlefield with an order. This is the best weapon of war.

A huge space channel opened in front of the Blood River Fortress. Ange Watson gave orders in an orderly manner through the magic mirror, and the vanguard, mainly the death knights, rushed into it.

Hundreds of large magic mirrors are combined into a comprehensive lens, showing every detail of the battlefield in front of Ange Watson.

Opposite the space door is the chaotic space deep in the Blood River. This is a strange world composed of countless space fragments connected by spider web-like roads.

Most demons don't know which way leads to the Blood River of Hell, and they all follow the large army. Anyway, they are huge in number and will always find the direction by "overflowing".

After passing through the space gate, this undead army, mainly composed of death knights, appeared on a rotten and blackened grassland. It was unknown which layer of the abyss it was. After stepping into this area, countless monsters like silkworms drilled out from the ground, trying to crawl onto the skeleton horses to eat flesh and blood.

But as the death knight's fear aura unfolded, these silkworms with sharp teeth spasmed and rolled on the ground.

The breath of the undead spread, and these dangerous little insects began to die in large numbers.

Although the creatures of the abyss are dangerous, the undead are not good things either. Dark magic is highly toxic to all living things.

The reason why this area was chosen as the first choice for attack is because this rotten grassland is full of these demon parasites. Ordinary demons need to consume a lot of magic to clean it up, and it will be very difficult to move.

But the dark magic of the undead just restrains these weak insects. Wherever the death knight's iron hoof goes, the corpses of these silkworms lie all over the ground.

"Send out the reconnaissance troops, search all nearby demon settlements, and clean them all up..."

Anger Watson gave an order, and several strange undead that appeared with the Death Knight took heavy steps and spread out in a fan shape.

These giant undeads look very strange, with only six thick thighs and an upper body that looks like a beehive egg.

Without arms or mouths, it seems that they are just a movable flesh and blood platform, specially used to move this huge beehive to the battlefield.

When these six giant beehives spread far enough, the thighs of these behemoths will be deeply inserted into the ground, and every hole on the beehive will open automatically, and countless black shadows will fly out in an instant.

These black shadows are all strange flying insects the size of ordinary people's palms, with streamlined bodies, but with bulging abdomens and a pair of small wings, which look not suitable for flying at all.

But when the beehive ejects these alien insects, the butts of these insects begin to eject high-speed airflow, and they fly in all directions at a very fast speed like a small jet plane.

This is a new type of undead that integrates micro jet engine technology. It is a fusion product of alchemy and necromancy. The cost is not low, but the effect is also very good.

Each insect nest has tens of thousands of such flying insects. Six insect nests have more than 60,000. The wave released just now only has 10,000, but it looks like a dark cloud covering the sun, which looks extremely terrifying.

These flying insects fly very fast, and the fastest speed can be close to the speed of sound, far exceeding the limit of flying, and the maximum flight distance is 120 kilometers.

However, the limit here means that they will not return.

These insects are both scouts and suicide drones. Just like the deep-sea fish troops at the beginning, they will automatically lock onto life forms and charge and then explode. The undead toxin is also fatal to demons.

This time, Anger Watson is fighting an unprecedented rich war, so he doesn't need to be stingy with his troops.

All reconnaissance flying insects will attack at their limit and suicide attack all demons within a radius of 120 kilometers. Once these flying insects die, the insect nest will also be sensed and mark the direction and distance of death.

Through the number and location of the death of these flying insects, Anger Watson can calculate the distribution of demons in this range.

Soon, dozens of different locations of different sizes were marked on the map. These were the places where a large number of flying insects died.

Anger Watson sneered and ordered the death knights to go to these locations to strangle the remaining demons.

Anger Watson did not have to worry that the death knights would not be able to defeat them, because this time it was the daughter of the devil duke next to him, Melina, who led the charge.

Melina, wearing heavy armor, charged forward. This time, she did not shout excitedly as usual, nor did she summon the Whispering Tree to support the forbidden magic barrier.

She just charged silently and easily tore the demons in front of her.

Even if she did not use much strength, people who were familiar with Melina could sense that this adult seemed to be stronger than before.

Otherwise, how can we say that hell trains people? It has only been a short time, and this death knight seems to have been reborn.

Amber Xiu did not intervene in the command, leaving the professional matters to the experts. Anger Watson's ability to lead troops was countless times better than his, and he certainly would not do a mindless operation like ordering the Death Knight to move 50 meters horizontally.

Amber Xiu's eyes were only fixed on the figure charging forward.

This was the bait he threw out, and now he just had to wait for Xirik to take the bait.
