This lich needs more money

Chapter 267 Damn fate

 “You want to discuss with that lich?” The old elf king thought he heard wrongly.

This is an internal discussion among the elves. She wants to consult the lich?

What exactly did Catherine go through during this short journey that she would subconsciously ask this lich for advice?

“I know this is strange, but if you have spent time with him, you will understand that this person knows how to negotiate business best. He can balance the interests of all parties well, and I believe he can solve this problem.”

Catherine and Amberxiu went out for a walk. They didn’t learn anything else, but their self-knowledge improved a lot.

 She finally realized that she was an unqualified leader, as naive as a little girl who had not grown up. Therefore, when encountering such a major national event, she subconsciously consulted the lich who could solve everything.

 Catherine's trust in Ambrose was established after he performed miracles again and again.

This lich can make paladins kneel to him, make the Kingdom of Rage become his back garden, and can make the druids obey with just a few words... This lich's mouth must be blessed by the gods. , he can solve anything.

The old elf king couldn't help but look at his grandson, hoping that this grandson could express his opinion. This was the opinion of an outsider. Do you still want the face of the elves?

But Aldarian said without hesitation: "Okay, no problem, just do what sister Catherine said, let's go discuss it with the lich."

 The old elf king was completely convinced, and this grandson was hopeless.

After hearing Catherine's question, Aldarion said directly: "It's not that simple yet. Send an urgent letter and ask him to come directly to Silvermoon Highgarden."

However, the old Elf King no longer has the energy to quarrel with his grandson. Regardless of whether Aldarion's words were made up or not, what he said is true. As a person gets older and is blinded by past emotions, he is no longer able to make objective and rational judgments.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Amberxiu was led by Catherine to a small hall for receiving guests, where the newcomer Elf King Aldarion was waiting.

 Hence, it had been two hours since Ambrose got the letter.

Catherine was more excited than Amberxiu. After returning to Silvermoon Highgarden, she often thought of the days of adventures with Amberxiu, which were the most wonderful memories of her life.

Catherine's handwritten letter was quickly delivered to Amber Xiu. It only took an hour for Silvermoon Highgarden's expedited letter to be delivered to the desert regardless of the cost. But there was no way to send it directly to Amber Xiu. He could only send it to Harvey on the surface and let the young mage deliver it on his behalf.

Invite a lich to Silvermoon Highgarden. This may be the first time since Silvermoon Highgarden was established.

 With the support of Ardalian, Catherine felt relieved.

But fortunately, it’s not dark yet.

 But, the question is how to contact him?

 Long distance communication has always been a big problem. Catherine does not have an artifact like the Code of the Undead, which allows her to communicate regardless of distance.

Since Arthur Lane’s heroic spirit must be dealt with anyway, let’s take this opportunity to negotiate the price with Lane.

 In this case, leave it to Aldarion, he is the Elf King today.

 Walking through the corridor, Amber Xiu was led by several elf girls to a gorgeous palace.

But Ambrose had traveled with Catherine for a while and had become somewhat resistant, so he was able to greet her appropriately.

Silver Moon Highgarden is full of this kind of life breath that is beneficial to the human body. Not only do the elves live comfortably here, but humans can live to be a hundred years old without any disease or disaster.

 After several twists and turns, we finally arrived at the Silver Moon High Garden.

Amber Xiu put on an ordinary skeleton body, then transformed into the appearance of the black-haired boy before stepping onto the teleportation array, so as not to be discriminated against by the elves with the appearance of a skull.

 Thinking about it, with Silvermoon Highgarden acting as the middleman, James Watson would not dare to take action against him.

Amberxiu immediately saw Catherine. She was no different from before. She still looked stunning. Every time she met, she was so stunning that even the undead couldn't help but feel moved.

 After reading Catherine’s letter, Amberxiu hesitated for a moment before deciding to go to Silvermoon Highgarden.

As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, Amber Xiu could feel the rich breath of life. Why do the elves live long and are so beautiful? In addition to racial characteristics, the living environment is very important.

This young elf king also wanted to meet Amberxiu and wanted to know what ability he had that could make Catherine admire him so much.

However, as soon as the two met each other, Aldarian's eyes widened and his face was slightly distorted.

Ardalian's eyes widened, his face suddenly distorted, and his hands had tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if he was ready to kill this special guest in front of him with a sword at any time.

"It's you?!" Ardalian squeezed out these two words through his teeth, and his resentment was so strong that even the naive Catherine could detect it.

Amberxiu looked at the young elf king strangely. The atmosphere was wrong. Was the elf planning to trick him into coming to kill him?

 “Your Majesty, what are you doing?”

Catherine was about to ask for clarification, but Ardalian said: "Sister Catherine, let me talk to Mr. Lich alone for a while. This is my very solemn request."

 Although Catherine didn't know the reason, she rarely saw Ardalian behave like this. This matter was not simple, but Catherine could only leave temporarily.

As soon as the door to the room was closed, Aldarian walked up to Amberxiu without hesitation and stared at him regardless of etiquette.

 “Do we know this...?” Amberxiu asked strangely.

Ardalion walked up to Amberxiu with a dark face and whispered: "The tiefling's unholy ode to the kingdom of Red River Town..."

 “Red River Town?”

Amberxiu’s long-standing memory was brought back, the time before he became a lich.

 At that time, youth potions were not expensive, and one bottle could last for more than thirty years.

It was also in this place that he had a battle with a drow, going from bed to under the bed, and finally killed the drow in self-defense. This is not a big deal. If Shar hadn't said that this was Rose's divine choice, Amberxiu would have forgotten about it.

But what did the elf brother do when he mentioned Red River Town? What is the relationship between drow and high elves?

 “We met two hundred years ago?” Amberxiu asked.

 “No, it was more than four hundred years ago!” Aldarion said suppressing his anger.

"Four hundred years... I'm sorry, I don't remember." Amber Xiu must have been very young at that time, probably when he had just started to become a prophecy mage. It was really too long ago, and Amber Xiu really couldn't remember it. .

“You don’t remember?! You told me you don’t remember? I was defrauded of all my thirty gold coins at that time! I was hungry for half a month!”

 “Ah this…”

Amberxiu felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was the fat sheep who had been tricked by him.

 But even though Aldarion said it so clearly, Amberxiu still couldn't remember it. I really can't remember. Amber Xiu has tricked so many people in his life. With only 30 gold coins, it's really hard to leave a place in his memory.

 Compared with Amberxiu's calmness, Aldarion is completely different. My memory goes back to that time hundreds of years ago, when I was still a minor and followed my parents' example to become an adventurer.

As an elf ranger with outstanding talents, it was indeed smooth sailing at first. Just when Aldarion thought that adventure could only lead to happiness and harvest, he met the black-haired and black-eyed young man in front of him in the tiefling territory.

This man looked so strange, and his facial features were not similar to those of humans in any kingdom. Aldarion immediately became curious. The communication between the two went very smoothly. After a few glasses of wine, Amber's face was flushed and his ears were hot. Amberxiu's few words made Aldarian feel like he had met his soulmate. He was simply a close friend who understood him better than his parents.

Just as he was thanking the elven gods for their blessings, Aldarion soon realized what it means to have a sinister heart.

Amberson not only squandered all the gains from his adventure, but also borrowed a large sum of money in his name.

Ardalian didn’t even know when he signed the IOU.

Within one day, Aldarion was completely bankrupt and his reputation was ruined. He was considered by local adventurers to be an elf brat with no credibility. He must have been a whitened drow pretending to be a high elf.

This is a great insult to the elves, to the point where they can fight to the death.

But Ardalian could not refute that the IOU was indeed signed by him, although he did not get a penny of the money.

In the end, Aldarion spent a month paying off the debt, and finally had to return to his parents, admitting that he had underestimated the profession of adventurer. It was also after this time that Aldarian began to become cautious. It can be said that this was his first step towards maturity, but the price was too tragic.

“Why did you lie to me! I thought you and I were friends! I thought you were my first best friend in life!”

 Aldarion, the elf king, had his eyes red when he questioned Amber Xiu. That is the most cherished friendship of a pure boy.

He remembered his face for a lifetime. He thought it was only a little experience when he was a teenager. Unexpectedly, after seeing Amber Xiu again, his grievance and anger did not diminish at all. He wished he could kill the lich in front of him with a sword now!

Hearing Aldarian talk about his experience of being cheated in such detail, Amberxiu also slowly remembered part of the content.

Amberxiu explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I remembered. Maybe it seemed to you that an elf had a pleasant chat with a human, but in my opinion, you were the one with evil intentions at that time. "

 “How come I have bad intentions?” Aldarion asked angrily.

"Do you remember what you said in the first sentence? You said that my clothes are in tatters and I must be miserable. You also said that if I mess with you, you can protect me. Be reasonable and take risks. Everyone knows that this means that you are going to find an idiot to be cannon fodder!”

Amboi is also very particular about how he tries to trick people. Generally, he will not offend others unless they offend him.

Aldarion was an adventurer who had just become famous at the time. With his identity as an elf, he was naturally arrogant. When he chatted with Amber Xiu, he naturally spoke like a superior.

Aldarion was inexperienced, but Amberxiu was not. He already had many years of adventure experience at that time.

 A seemingly well-known adventurer said to a complete stranger, "Fuck with me and I'll protect you", and his attitude was particularly domineering. There is only one explanation for this, he needs a cannon fodder or a fat sheep.

An Boxiu has seen too many people like this, and he decisively chose to be conceited, and then took the money and ran away.

 He couldn't remember the specific details, but anyway, it was just an embellishment on his adventure.

Who would have thought that an elf he had deceived would now become the elf king?

Amberxiu couldn't help but think of his magnificent life. The first teacher in his life was the God of Alchemy. The drow he killed randomly was Rose's chosen one. The elf ranger he randomly tricked was the current Elf King... An Bai Xiudu began to wonder if the Silver Moon Knight also had a grudge against him when he was young, but he just forgot about it.

 What a **** fate!

However, Amberxiu did not feel guilty at all, but said to Aldarian confidently: "Your Majesty, four hundred years ago, you were an adventurer, and I was also an adventurer. It may have been a misunderstanding at that time, but I only have one life.

“As an insignificant person, I worry about saving my life all the time. Maybe I didn’t investigate clearly at the time. If you really want to worry about it, I can say sorry to you.

"But if I had it to do over again, I would still do it. Because I can't confirm whether your so-called good intentions hide malice. This is the daily life of adventurers."

This is the sadness at the bottom. Amberxiu was just a passerby who might be exposed in the wilderness at any time. Perhaps there have been countless such misunderstandings in this life, but it is precisely because of Amberxiu's cautious and vigilant attitude that he has survived until now.

 This is his past sin. He will not deny it, but he will not feel guilty either. As a person at the bottom, many times there is no choice at all.

If this Elf King really wants to pursue the case... Amber Xiu wouldn't mind blowing himself up again. Anyway, it's easy for him to change his body now.

After hearing Amberxiu's apology, Aldarian was silent for a long time, and then said to Amberxiu: "You are right, adventurers are like this. I only learned this truth later. But this time, don't If I am on your side, I will try my best to help Ryan so that your heroic spirit cannot be sold at a good price."

Since political excuses are not important, naturally your own emotions are more important.

Aldarion decisively chose to retaliate harshly. He would make Amberxiu vomit blood in order to avenge the thirty gold coins that year.

Amber Xiu looked at the still young Elf King and chuckled in his heart.

 When it comes to business negotiations, he is invincible!
