This lich needs more money

Chapter 269 Is the artifact ruined?

 The exchange between the three ended with Aldarian completely admitting defeat.

Four hundred years have passed, Aldarion has grown up, but why has Amberxiu stayed still? There is no shame in losing to the current Amber Xiu, after all, even the gods have been tricked by him, and there are more than one.

Although Catherine sensed that the two of them were hiding something from her, she couldn't figure it out based on her intelligence.

 The final result is that Aldarian will test James Watson's offer for Amberxiu. If he is smarter, he will help Amberxiu get more benefits from James Watson, otherwise the elves will have to pay the bill.

On the other hand, Amberxiu approached the old elf king and asked him to meet the heroic spirit of Arthur Lane, which would be regarded as rectifying the name of this heroic spirit and allowing the two old friends to reminisce about the past.

Amberxiu didn't even move, and he didn't wait long before he saw the old elf king with a vicissitudes of life on his face.

The old elf king seemed to have a lot of objections to the lich Amberxiu. He didn't even say polite words and said bluntly: "Let me see Arthur."

Amberxiu didn't care about the customer's attitude, so he took out the hourglass artifact and placed it on the table.

 The shadow of Arthur Lane emerges from the hourglass.

 The old Elf King's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Arthur, it's really you!"

 “Then...one trillion gold coins.” Amberxiu said casually.

 Arthur Lane said proudly: "That's not me. I will never get older now. I will always be the most handsome paladin on the continent."

“You’re crazy, do you know what this number is? This amount of gold could fill an entire city.”

When he returned to the room, Amberxiu found that there were still tears on the old elf's face that had not been wiped clean. It seemed that he had cried hard.

 After waiting for about four or five hours, the two heroes were still chatting inside. If Arthur Lane's heroic spirit hadn't been a little weak, I'm afraid they could have talked for days and nights.

“How much do you want? Just give me a price and I’ll find a way.”

Arthur Lane looked at the wrinkled face and said sadly: "It's been more than a thousand years. I never thought I would see you grow old."

 But now, the Lane royal family has long since fallen, Arthur Lane is just the form of a heroic spirit, and they have a hundred ways to destroy this heroic spirit.

"That's right, we can't let him return to Ryan. He is still the impulsive and reckless character he was back then. If he returns to Ryan, he will only be killed by those corrupt royals. I watched him die alone back then, and I can't do it again today. repeat."

 The old Elf King said disdainfully: "Humph, unless they can turn all the people of Lane into gold."

Amberxiu smiled and said: "It depends on which city, the Lion Empire will definitely not be able to fill it. One trillion gold coins sounds like a lot, but for Ryan, it may not be impossible to get out."

The old elf chuckled and said, "I've also seen you grow older, and you're far worse than me."

The heroic spirit of Arthur Lane looked at the old elf king, frowned and thought for a long time before he recognized it.

This old elf finally shed tears. After more than a thousand years, he finally saw the friend who fought side by side again.

Amberxiu said strangely: "What do you mean by this? The elves are preparing to **** the heroic soul of the founding holy king from Ryan?"

Seeing that both of them had tears in their eyes, Amberxiu also said goodbye knowingly, leaving this place to the two heroes who jointly defeated the dragon.

Amberxiu did not make fun of this matter. He also said straight to the point: "It seems that there is no need to ask about the result. This is Arthur Lane's heroic spirit."

 “Are you...Hildas?!”

The old Elf King said in a deep voice: "Please make a price."

"Although the reasons are different, I don't mind multiple buyers. However, you are no longer the Elf King. With your own wealth, I'm afraid you can't afford the price."

Arthur Lane's memory is stuck before challenging the dragon tyrant, and he knows nothing about the subsequent establishment of the empire. More than a thousand years ago, he was the Holy King, the hero who defeated the dragon, and no one could challenge him in his status.

“Isn’t Arthur Lane worth the price?”

“The numbers you just mentioned don’t mean anything. All the kingdoms combined cannot produce so much gold.”

"Of course there isn't that much pure gold, but I don't mind using other things to offset it. Didn't the elves use magic materials to offset it before? I believe Ryan can get something precious enough, such as... magic dragon weapons. "

The old elf king said disdainfully: "Let's not talk about the importance of the magic dragon weapon to Ryan. Even if they give it to you, what's the point besides collecting it? The magic dragon weapon must be of Arthur's blood before it can be used. Even if he gives it to you, All the heroic spirits can’t be used, what are you going to do?”

"Like you said, it's for collection. It's a magic dragon weapon. It doesn't matter whether I can use it or not. The key is that Ryan doesn't have to use it. You should also know very well that I am a lich, and Ryan and I are destined to be mortal enemies. It makes a big difference to me whether there is Ryan armed with the dragon or not.”

Old Elf King tentatively believed what Amber Xiu said. The magic dragon weapon was indeed an artifact that could change the situation on the mainland. But Lane would not agree. Even if Arthur Lane himself came back to life, the Lane Empire would never exchange this set of artifacts.

This thing has become a symbol, something that suppresses the fate of the country. Without the magic dragon arm, Ryan will definitely decline.

“You’d better put your thoughts aside. I can give you an elven artifact in exchange for Arthur’s heroic spirit.”

The old elf king took out a very ordinary-looking ring, as if it was made by polishing oak wood. It didn't even have any gems. Amberxiu couldn't sense any special magic fluctuations, but the old elf king said it with just one sentence. Let Amber Xiu understand the value of this ring.

“The person wearing this ring will be marked, and a perfect resurrection spell will be activated after death.” “Perfect resurrection spell?!”

 Amberson was shocked.

Many priests can use the resurrection spell. If the person died not too long ago and the body is still intact, the resurrection spell can be used to restore the person. But the premise is that the soul must be intact. If the soul is gone, there is nothing we can do.

Just like Aige's father, the shipwright planted a seed in the pirate ship, then turned his soul into nutrients, watered the seed to grow, and turned the pirate ship into a ghost ship.

 Once the soul dies, it can no longer be resurrected by resurrection.

 But the perfect resurrection technique does not have this problem. It is not a problem if the soul is gone or the body is gone. It can completely bring the original person back to the mortal world. There is no difference at all. Even if you are terminally ill, you can be cured.

Even if Amberxiu's phylactery was smashed and his soul was torn into pieces and stuffed into the belly of the Demon Lord, he could still be resurrected.

 This is the perfect resurrection technique.

Amberxiu immediately thought of Ai Ge, maybe he could help her resurrect the old shipwright, but after the old elf king explained the purpose of the ring, Amberxiu gave up the idea.

You must wear the ring while you are alive and imprint the magic mark of perfect resurrection on yourself. It will only take effect after death and cannot be effective on others.

“When Arthur went to challenge the dragon tyrant, he also wore this ring.”

"Then how do you know that the effect of the ring is still there? Maybe he used it when he fought against the dragon tyrant?" Amberxiu asked.

“Perfect Resurrection can be used repeatedly, but the interval between two uses is at least a hundred years. Now, more than a thousand years have passed, and the ring can be used again.”

 Perfect resurrection occurs once a hundred years. For humans, it may not be possible to wait until the second hundred years.

But Amberxiu is a lich, so a hundred years is not a big problem for him. He can't be so unlucky that his life box was smashed twice in a hundred years, right?

Amberxiu was very moved, but the price was not enough.

"Although the Perfect Resurrection Technique is very good, the price of Arthur Lane is more than this. The hourglass he possesses is an artifact in itself. If you exchange one for one and add the heroic spirit of the Holy King, I will lose a lot on this deal. ”

The old elf king said angrily: "It's useless for you to negotiate the price. All I can get is this ring. Everything else combined is not worth a fraction of this ring."

This is the truth. The old elf king is not as beloved by the gods as Catherine. He has three artifacts on his body and countless blessings. This ring is his only artifact. Other magic equipment is really not worth mentioning, let alone savings. Elves do not like to accumulate wealth. The old elf king only has food and drink, but does not have much cash.

“Let’s talk about it then, let me hear Ryan’s offer.”

“Ryan will never take out an artifact in exchange for it. Do you know what an artifact is? Do you think you can find it anywhere on the street?”

“I have many artifacts.” Amber Xiu took out a black dagger and slapped it on the table. "This is the artifact Shar gave me. It was given to me when she asked for my help."

Before the old elf king could carefully sense the divine power on the dagger, Amberxiu dropped another gold coin and said, "This is the gold coin that the God of Alchemy gave me, and he begged me to accept it."

Finally, Amberxiu pointed to the hourglass on the table and said: "This is the artifact of the Dragon Tyrant more than a thousand years ago. I picked it up on the road. To me, artifacts are all over the street. Is there any problem? ?”

The old elf king was speechless. He, the majestic elf king, only had a magical weapon!

Is this lich Io’s biological son?

  The final result was naturally no longer agreed upon. Amber Xiu coveted the artifact with the perfect resurrection technique, but he would definitely not just sell the most valuable thing in his hand. Although resurrection is good, it is still far behind compared to the magic dragon weapon.

The old elf king was about to continue bargaining, but Amberxiu decisively changed the subject and showed Trisna's body to the old elf king.

 As a result, the old elf king recognized it immediately.

"It's her! You really helped us take revenge this time."

Amberxiu asked curiously: "This drow massacred your people?"

  The old Elf King said with emotion: "Yes, and more than once, three entire villages, two thousand elves' lives. Thank you, I accept this favor."

Amberxiu confirmed that the drow was useful, and said to the old elf king: "Since it is useful, how about adding this favor to the artifact dagger Shar gave me in exchange for your resurrection ring? An artifact coupled with this favor , you took advantage."

 The old elf king said doubtfully: "Does this dagger have any side effects?"

Amberxiu said quickly: "You are blaspheming, you know? As a collaborator of the goddess, I can't pretend that I can't hear this!"

"I am even more sure now that there must be something wrong with your dagger! You can ask my grandson to settle the bounty of the drow elves for you. I am no longer the Elf King."

Probably afraid of being tricked by Amber Xiu, the old elf king decisively chose not to talk to him, stood up and was about to leave.

Amberxiu said loudly: "Don't leave, or I can make up some money!"

 After hearing this, the old Elf King left faster.

Amberxiu had no choice but to wait for the old man James Watson to make a bid. This supreme judge had one or two artifacts, right?
