This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 64 The Wisdom of the Lich

Fanxing felt top-heavy and couldn't even mobilize the power of the Holy Light. When he was dizzy, he clenched his right fist. There was a ring on it, which could activate pre-prepared magic and expel most toxins.

However, as soon as he reached out, a wine bottle hit his arm.

 The wine bottle shattered, not injuring him at all, but it also interrupted his clenching of fists.

The orc bartender held half of the wine bottle and looked at the tin can in front of him with a regretful expression. This guy has never taken off his armor, and it's difficult for him to make a sneak attack.

Fanxing knew that he had been plotted and had no time to think about why. A holy light lit up on his body, making his mind suddenly clear.

There is more than one divine spell to get rid of abnormal conditions, and he has more than one piece of magic equipment.

But as soon as he regained his consciousness, a tall orc hit him with a hammer on the head.

 The golden shield lit up on Fanxing's armor, removing most of the power of the hammer, and Fanxing had quickly grabbed his sword. While drawing the sword, he slammed the hilt of the sword into the orc, knocking him several meters away and knocking down a group of adventurers who wanted to besiege him.

 The stars drew the sword in their hands, and the dazzling holy light had already wrapped the long sword.

Although the adventurers in the bar surrounded him, they were forced back by the aura erupting from the stars.

He pointed the edge of his sword at the orc bartender and said slowly: "I don't know why? But you are planning to assassinate me with just two glasses of poisoned wine. Are you underestimating the Knights of Conviction?"

The orc bartender shrugged and said, "I told you that this amount of medicine is not enough, but the boss said that if you add too much, you will be discovered."

 “Oh, are these your last words?”

Fanxing raised his sword high and swung a Holy Slash at the orc bartender.

 The intense holy light illuminated the entire bar as if it were daytime. Before the blade of the sword fell, the blazing light had already scorched the wooden bar counter black.

 But this sword failed to cut down in the end.

Two silver long swords stretched out from under the bar at an incredible angle, penetrated the table, and stabbed toward Fanxing's crotch.

If it is an ordinary sneak attack, Fanxing can be completely ignored, because the enchanted armor on his body is enough to withstand most cold weapon attacks.

But just when the two long swords were about to pierce his armor, Fanxing suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. Holy Sword suddenly turned a corner and cut off the two long swords.

The orc bartender was also able to escape. He bumped his body backwards and entered a rotating secret door, and escaped directly.

　　Without waiting for the stars to pursue him, the sneak attacker hiding under the bar had already jumped out.

 “What the **** is this?!”

Hongxing only saw a silvery white, mercury-like thing rushing towards him.

Fanxing quickly gathered the Holy Slash to kill this weird thing.

However, at this moment, Fanxing felt a slip under his feet, and he didn't know when the ground was filled with greasy liquid.

 “Grease?! When!”

 The Grease spell can be called a universal oil spell and can be used on almost any battlefield. The effect is to create a slippery oil on the ground, making people slip.

Although Fanxing did not fall on the spot, the sudden grease spell still caused his movements to deform, and the Holy Slash could only cut off a small part of the monster's body.

Although the ball of mercury screamed, most of it was still stuck on his body.

The enchanted armor on his body began to shine with magical light almost immediately, bursts of blue smoke came out, and Xingxing's armor was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fanxing placed his long sword on the ground, and the cloak behind him lit up with purple magic light.

There was a loud thunder, and a violent shock wave erupted from Fanxing's body, not only blowing away the mercury clumps on his body, but also shattering the bar next to him.

Fanxing was panting. The successive sneak attacks just now made him sweat on his forehead.

What on earth was that mercury? It caused the armor on him to be damaged in the blink of an eye, and several enchanting effects were broken, leaving him extremely embarrassed.

The situation today is not right. Could it be that the people in the Alchemy City are going back on their word?

Fanxing was about to use the Lost Step to teleport away, but suddenly found that the surrounding space was strangely distorted. “Space confinement?!”

This is a very advanced spell, and there is a powerful spellcaster hiding aside.

Fanxing didn't dare to delay any longer. People who could cast space confinement spells were very difficult to deal with. Even in one-on-one situations, he was not 100% sure of winning.

 There are still a dozen adventurers of unknown strength around now, and he does not dare to fight such a high-level mage under such circumstances.

Fanxing just wanted to escape and return to his teammates as soon as possible. He even began to worry that such an assassination would be staged elsewhere, and his teammates would be in danger.

The Holy Sword opened the way, and the stars ran wildly on the greasy ground, but every step was taken extremely steadily, and they rushed out of the bar in less than two seconds.

However, what Fanxing saw was not the busy Southern Cross Street, but a thick black fog.

  Another simple, but practical spell—darkness.

 Create a darkness that is so thick that it cannot be broken away, covering everyone's sight. Even the shining holy light from the stars cannot break through this darkness.

In this invisible environment, Fanxing heard a deep voice: "Tsk, tsk, toxin protection, thunder waves, dexterous steps... How many spells are enchanted with this equipment of yours? It's really luxurious."

Fanyxing throws a ball of holy fire in the direction of the sound. This is also the paladin's signature spell. It has low power, but also consumes little money, and it is very fast to cast.

The holy fire submerged into the darkness, and seemed to hit something, but the other party's voice did not change at all.

“Awesome, you are worthy of being an elite member of the Lion Empire. Your intuition is almost as good as that of a mage from the prophecy school.”

Fanxing did not dare to be careless, and continuously blessed himself with protective spells, turning himself into a huge light group.

"Delaying for time? He is a smart man. He guessed that we would use assassination methods and did not dare to make a big fuss. Let the people from Alchemy City intervene. How awesome, the paladin of the Lane Empire."

　　Although the tone was complimentary, Fanxing only felt sarcasm when he heard it.

 The young paladin quickly thought about how to deal with it, and finally chose to take a risk. His feet lit up with light, and then he jumped twenty meters away, directly out of the darkness.

 Enhanced Jump, a special ritual spell enchanted on his leg armor.

Up to now, Fanxing has only used his own strength to perform Holy Slash twice and still retains most of his physical strength. However, he has dealt with deadly threats again and again, which shows the importance of enchanted equipment.

After jumping out of the darkness, Fanxing finally saw his real opponent—a lich suspended in mid-air.

Fanxing's pupils shrank, knowing that he was in big trouble, but he suddenly laughed and said confidently: "You are the lich, right? You are much weaker than I thought. Are you really a legend?"

If it was really a legendary caster, Fanxing would never have been able to handle it so easily, and he might have been seriously injured long ago.

Amberxiu shrugged and said, "I'm just a scholar who focuses on academic research, and I'm different from you who fight and kill."

Fanxing sneered and said: "A scholar who likes assassination? You undead are really shameless. Oh, I forgot, you have no shame in the first place."

Amber Xiu felt nothing about this provocation and said to himself: "I have never dared to be careless before, let alone arrange an assassination, just because I couldn't figure out your methods. These wallflowers in the Alchemy City are not the same." Xiangbang, you didn’t even give me any information. You were really afraid that if you acted first, you would fall into the trap you prepared. Only recently did you realize that you were so careless and didn’t even think that I would take the initiative? "

After hearing this, Fanxing suddenly became suspicious.

The lich said this. Did someone leak the news?

His companions will never betray. I am afraid that the problem lies with the 300 people who have just been recaptured.

"But so what? Not only did your assassination fail, but you also exposed your own weakness. If I had known you were so weak, I could have purified you by myself." Fanxing said confidently.

Amberxiu nodded and said, "It's true that you guys are not legends, but each of you has a set of super luxurious equipment, so I'm not necessarily your opponent."

 “You mean, you want to surrender?” Fanxing sneered.

 Amberson shook his head, and then said: "No, I found a more suitable opponent for you. Gareth, leave it to you."

As Amberxiu finished speaking, a suffocating figure appeared on the street.

Well, the sound of the chain shaking came, and a huge sword that was huge than the star in the star was cut off.
