This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 69 The Secret of the Sewer

 In the Alchemy City, two drow elves carefully followed Apoptotic Rose and held up a gorgeous umbrella for her.

They need to always pay attention to the pace of the Apoptotic Rose, not too fast, not too slow, and not to let the slightest bit of sunlight fall on the queen.

This little bit of sunlight will not cause much harm to a legendary queen of the undead, but as long as the Apoptotic Rose frowns, the two of them will become materials for making undead.

 In the Underdark, everyone knows the cruelty of Her Majesty the Queen. She is so indifferent to any living life and only uses it as a tool.

 Once this tool is no longer useful, it will naturally be thrown away.

Apoptotic Rose is also accompanied by two serious-looking administrators. These are the people sent by the Alchemist Council to monitor Apoptotic Rose. The famous Queen of the Undead in the Underdark suddenly visited, and everyone in the Alchemy City felt numb.

These two administrators are also unlucky. Even if Apoptotic Rose completely ignores their existence, just standing next to her, fear keeps invading their bodies like a virus.

This is the power of a real lich. As long as you don't deliberately restrain your power, just a little bit of the rich dark magic power is enough to pollute everything around you.

Apoptotic Rose naturally has no intention of caring about a few humans. She wanders around the alchemy city casually, occasionally buying some alchemy materials without asking the price.

 Three bottles among them were living mercury solution, which she planned to bring to Amber Xiu as a meeting gift.

Although I don’t know how the undead would fall in love, according to the other person’s personality, it should be right to give expensive gifts.

At this time, Gareth and his wife should be meeting at the third party's house. I don't know if they can hold it back. If they fight, it will be another trouble.

Apoptotic Rose originally wanted to see the **** love between the undead, and wanted to see if she could get some reference from it, but the people from the Alchemy City were always following her, and Apoptotic Rose was not allowed to keep the private affairs of the undead couple. exposed to others.

Hence, Apoptotic Rose could only go out alone and pretend to go shopping, but in fact it was to attract the attention of the Alchemy City.

However, this is only one of the purposes.

Amberxiu asked her to help investigate the secrets of the sewers, and Apoptotic Rose was also very interested in the secrets that the alchemy city kept silent.

Wandering all the way seemed aimless, but in fact, before she knew it, Apoptotic Rose had reached the vicinity of a sewer entrance.

Apoptotic Rose carefully observed the two administrative officers responsible for "accompanying" them. When they approached the sewer entrance, the two people clearly showed disgust, but they showed little vigilance and panic.

The disgust was probably due to the disgusting stench floating around, but without vigilance and panic, it seemed that these two people knew nothing about the secrets of the sewer.

 “If that’s the case, then you can be a little bolder.”

Apoptotic Rose pretended to be ignorant and walked towards the entrance of the sewer. The closer it got, the stronger the stench became, and the two administrators couldn't help but cover their noses.

Seeing that the Apoptotic Rose was about to continue moving forward, one of the administrators quickly said: "Your Majesty the Queen, the area in front has been designated as a restricted area due to the leakage of alchemy waste. Because it has not had time to clean up, it is full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. , not very suitable for visiting. I suggest going in another direction, there are several good enchanting equipment shops there.”

Apoptotic Rose pretended to be curious and said: "Alchemy waste leaked? It seems to be a serious accident. Alchemy City hasn't dealt with it yet?"

The two administrators were a little embarrassed, but they really didn't know what the problem was. They could only change the topic hesitantly, but they didn't notice that Apoptotic Rose took a few steps towards the sewer entrance full of stinky sewage. She didn't realize that her eyes were scanning the mosquitoes flying in the sky.

With just one glance, hundreds of little bugs died and were transformed into controllable undead puppets in an instant.    This is the legendary boon of the Apoptotic Rose—the Death Gaze.

As long as it is locked by her soul fire, a creature can be transformed into an undead without any other action. The time required for this transformation process is different depending on the vitality of the individual creature.

Even a high-level paladin like Fanxing will turn into an undead within a few minutes if he is not noticed in time. An insignificant little bug like this can complete the transformation almost in the blink of an eye.

“Well, it looks like there really isn’t much to see. Let’s go in another direction.”

Apoptotic Rose just turned around and left without arousing any suspicion from the two administrators. Even the two maids beside Apoptotic Rose did not notice the small movements of their queen.

 When they left, the insects that had been transformed into undead quickly got into the sewer.

Thanks to the increasingly poor sanitary environment in the Alchemy City, rats and bugs can be seen everywhere. Apoptotic Rose has gone all the way, and thousands of snakes, insects, rats and ants were quietly transformed into undead by her, and they began to explore in the sewers. Apoptotic Rose quickly revealed the map of the sewer.

With the excuse that she was tired of wandering around, Apoptotic Rose returned to the silver carriage that looked like a small palace, and then began to draw a map of the sewer.

 In just one day, Apoptotic Rose explored most of the sewers of the Alchemy City.

  Apoptotic Rose pieced together the fragmented maps into a unique pattern.

 “Why does it look like some alchemical magic circle?”

Apoptotic Rose is not very good at alchemy and can barely see some traces of it, so she directly sent these map fragments to Amber Xiu.

  【Apoptotic Rose: Look at the sewer map I drew, it looks like some kind of alchemical magic circle. 】

At the castle, Amber is removing the bones from Erha's body.

 After careful consideration, the half-elf ranger decided to choose a skeleton as his reincarnation form. It's not that they don't like to grow flesh, but it's very expensive for the undead to keep their flesh alive. It either rots or becomes a mummy. These two forms are not as good-looking as skeletons.

 As a half-elf, between the two options of very ugly and generally ugly, Erha chose the generally ugly skeleton form.

  Anyway, as undead with independent consciousness, there is not much difference between skeletons and zombies. Whether they can advance depends on luck and hard work. The Amber Order tried its best to give Erha as many innate spells as possible during the transformation process, such as basic skeleton summoning, cold touch, etc., so that he would have a certain combat effectiveness after reincarnation.

While the ribs were being removed, the Code of the Dead began to vibrate, and Amberxiu had to summon the hand of a mage to open the Code of the Dead.

 Poor Erha could only lie on the operating table, awkwardly keeping his heart open.

And when Amber Xiu saw the sewer map sent by Apoptotic Rose, he was so excited that he broke the bones in his hand.

Amberxiu didn't bother to connect Erha's bones, and quickly replied to Apoptotic Rose: [This is not an alchemy magic array, this is a modified wish magic array. These madmen are really creating gods! 】
