This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 73 Must be a traitor

The most important thing for a lich is its phylactery, so every lich will try every means to hide its phylactery.

Some will choose to bury it deep underground, some will choose to build a perfect magic defense chamber, and some will be suspicious of carrying the phylactery with them.

 Amber Xiu chooses them all.

He built a secret room in the castle specifically for placing the phylactery. He dug a deep pit under the secret room to hide another phylactery. He carried one phylactery with him all the year round, and hid several phylacteries everywhere he went. Phylactery.

Gareth will give one, Apoptotic Rose will give one, students will give one, servants will give one...the main one will be given away rather than lacking.

As for which one is true, haha, I’ll keep it a secret for the time being. Anyway, no phylactery is completely useless.

After finishing the work, Amberxiu went to the cell and took out all the paladins, tied them one by one with chains, sealed them with magic, packed them into coffins, and then transported them outside the castle.

 The airship from the Alchemy City has already been waiting here, and old friend Gustavo Flynn has been waiting outside for a long time.

Amberxiu transformed into a human and gave Gustavo Flynn a bright smile: "Old friends, it seems you are quite anxious."

“The people from the Lane Empire have arrived. If you don’t send them over, I will treat them to a meal. If we solve the problem quickly, I can save some time to go back and do experiments.”

Gustavo Flynn's expression is still so serious, and his dark skin and frightening eyes make him look more scary than the lich Ambrose.

 “Oh, who came so quickly, who is it?” Amberxiu asked.

 “Haha, I’m also your old friend, the supreme judge of the Lane Empire, James Watson.”

The smile on Amber's face suddenly disappeared. If there were any emotions left in his heart after reincarnating into a lich, hatred for James Watson was one of them, and it accounted for a large proportion.

“It’s a pity that this old man can’t carry his son’s coffin for a state funeral.” Amberxiu said through gritted teeth.

Gustavo Flynn smiled at this, he was happy to make Amberxiu angry.

This **** lich not only rejected the president's invitation back then, but now he is being ridiculed as well. Gustavo Flynn does not feel that his level of alchemy is worse than Amber's, but the two have different research directions, and his research is not of much help to this plan.

Things that were not professionally compatible were actually used to ridicule him for his lack of intelligence. This made Gustavo Flynn wish he could dismantle Amberxiu's phylactery right now.

But don’t worry, you will get what you want soon.

Thinking of this, Gustavo Flynn couldn't wait to say to Amber Xiu: "Get on the airship. I hope you can be prepared. The use of the wishing machine is a bit complicated. We still need several hours of practice."

"So troublesome? I thought I could just make a wish on the machine and be done with it," Amberxiu said.

"How can it be so simple? This is a great machine that we have spent countless efforts to create. If we want everyone to be able to make a wish, we naturally need a more complicated process. Please remember the precautions carefully for me later. Otherwise, if there is any problem, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Amberson looked at Gustavo Flynn's face and couldn't see any flaws in it.

 This old boy acted just like the real thing.

Ha

Now, two veteran actors, Amber Heard and Gustavo Flynn, who are over a thousand years old together, are competing with each other in their acting skills. It’s a pity that there are no film critics shouting 666 next to them.

Amberxiu took the prisoners onto the airship. As soon as he entered the cabin, he found that he was trapped in a space that blocked the teleportation magic.

Gustavo Flynn saw the change in Amberxiu's expression and explained: "This is the latest model to prevent others from using teleportation magic to jump into gang fights."

  Haha, believe me, who engages in gang warfare during air combat? The airships are all directly bombarded by magic missiles.

Probably because he was really impatient, Gustavo Flynn didn't care whether Amberxiu believed it or not, he directly drove the airship at the speed of a monk and returned to the Alchemy City in the shortest possible time.

Not long after the airship left, a group of fully armed paladins appeared outside Amberxiu's castle.

This time it is still the Knights of Conviction, but their number has doubled.

Moreover, the person responsible for leading the team was none other than the supreme judge, James Watson.

When Alchemy City talked to Amber Xiu, they said that returning the paladin would be considered a favor, but when talking to the Lion Empire, the favor also included Amber Xiu's castle.

Alchemy City was responsible for taking Amber Xiu out of the castle. While the legendary lich was not in his mage tower, the Lion Empire personally took action to completely destroy this evil place.    This is also part of the deal.

James Watson stood in front of Umbershoe's castle and gave the order with a cold face: "Destroy the evil in front of you and purify all the dirty undead."

The paladins responded in unison, raising their swords high, and the holy light connected together.

When these paladins rode towards the castle on celestial horses, the castle's automatic defense system was automatically activated, and the dark energy of the sky was still raining down.

But the necromancy spells that are fatal to ordinary people, with the various defense blessings of the paladin, become a breeze blowing in the face, without any effect.

This is the terrifying thing about the Lion Empire. Their magical effects are particularly suitable for large legion operations. The larger the number, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

The skeleton puppets outside the castle did not pose any threat, and were purified by the power of the holy light before they even got close.

 The journey was overwhelming. The castle gate was broken down, the traps at the door were detected in advance, and a rock-making spell was used to completely fill it in... Without human control, these defense facilities could only operate mechanically, and most of the effects were lost.

The paladins were unstoppable and completed the task in less than ten minutes.

 The paladin who came to report said respectfully to James Watson: "Sir, Supreme Judgment, we have completely captured the castle, but...there are some casualties."

 When it came to the last sentence, the paladin was a little embarrassed.

James Watson also frowned and asked: "Casualties? It's just a magic castle without lich control, just skeletons. Are you telling me that there are casualties in the Knights of Conviction?"

 It seemed as if I heard something incredible.

The paladin legion is good at legion combat and has various healing arts. It is simply a shame to fight such a battle and still have people die.

“Sir, we have encountered several kinds of weird skeletons. They have weird shapes, use magical weapons, and their ammunition is very weird...”

The paladin explained the process in detail, which made James Vaughn frown.

 The advance was very smooth at the beginning. The ordinary undead and magic traps could not have much impact on the paladins. The real danger was the sudden appearance of alien skeletons. There is only half a body, but the skeleton gunman is holding a magic rifle, hanging upside down from the ceiling, and the skeleton tank is blocked in the wall hole, with only a little bit of the gun barrel exposed.

Every time these monsters attack, people are caught off guard. What's even more frightening is that once their bullets cause wounds, human bones will grow abnormally. Several paladins were only scratched, and then were torn alive by the proliferated bones while wailing.

However, no magical treatment works for this terrible symptom, as if it is not a magical curse, but a terrifying power that they have never seen before.

Fortunately, the number of this type of skeletons is very small. After confirming the location, they can be eliminated directly with the Holy Slash. The huge skeleton tank only suffered a few more Holy Slashes, and it was too clumsy to dodge because of its huge size. It was completely A living target.

James Watson didn't expect that Amberxiu had such vicious methods. Is there actually undead magic in this world that cannot be purified by the holy light?

The paladin then reported: "Sir, there are many human slaves outside the castle, they should be compatriots enslaved by the lich."

James Watson waved his hand and said, "As usual, give them enough food and let them go free. We didn't take them away this time."

“But, my lord, there is a priest of light in the castle. He said he is your son’s attendant.”

James Watson frowned, why is there still a priest of light? Haven't all the hostages been handed over to the Alchemy City?

 “How is he doing? Is he seriously injured?” James Watson asked.

The paladin hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "He seems to be unharmed, and he doesn't seem to be lacking food and water. He looks...very healthy."

James Watson said angrily: "How could he have escaped unscathed?"

Even though the article was written, Allen had to endure inhuman torture every day, which made James Watson burst into tears. How could this light pastor remain unscathed?

James Watson said angrily: "You must have betrayed your faith, interrogate me severely! Also, dig out the lich's phylactery as soon as possible!"
