This lich needs more money

Chapter 271 Betrayed everyone

 Amberson crushed several virtual souls, and the pure soul power seeped into the hourglass, adding strength to the sleeping Arthur Lane.

The essence of a heroic spirit is a soul with a special state. The reason why it is difficult to recover its power is actually that the soul energy is scarce.

 Heroic spirits do not have the ability to recover by devouring their souls, and only Ambrose can control this power to recover Arthur Lane.

James Watson watched Umbersheu turning a pile of materials into blank souls and couldn't help but said: "Is this how those phylacteries came from? I was doubting at the time that you couldn't massacre hundreds of thousands of people without getting any information. nothing."

Amber Xiu scolded: "Massacre hundreds of thousands of people? You're crazy. If I had to kill so many people, the Alchemy City would have killed me long ago. Without the population, who will be the oxen and horses for those alchemists?"

This is one of the reasons why James Watson was willing to issue a pardon to Umbersheu.

This lich can create blank souls, so he may not have to kill living people to create a phylactery like other lichs, and his sin will most likely be smaller.

Arthur Lane's heroic spirit emerged and said strangely: "Why do I feel so much better? I am more comfortable than I have been sleeping in the past few days."

Amberxiu said unceremoniously: "That is naturally my credit."

Give this Holy King more presence. Amberxiu likes the character of Arthur Lane very much, and he doesn’t have to be an enemy when we meet again in the future.

Amberson adjusted his position when James Watson knelt down, then took out the memory crystal and took a picture of the scene in front of him, as if James Watson was kneeling to him.

 James Watson’s first task is to return this heroic spirit to Lion, and he must not be allowed to remain in the hands of this lich.

James Watson’s attention was focused on Arthur Lane, and he didn’t notice Umbershoe’s little movements at all.

His head was buried deep in the ground, and tears were dripping uncontrollably.

 Amberxiu did not leave any private space for the two of them this time. He decisively chose to move away a little bit and then eavesdropped on their conversation openly.

"Old man, you are mistaken. I am not your Majesty. I am just a heroic spirit who possesses part of his memory. The person you admire is not me."

 “Your Majesty…”

Arthur Lane only felt embarrassed. The old man in front of him looked much older than him. Being knelt down by such a person made Arthur Lane feel uncomfortable all over.

James Watson knew that he had no choice but to pretend that he did not exist.

However, Arthur Lane said: "Although I have always heard others say that Lane is the empire I built, I really have no real feelings about this country. You are a Lane person, so let me ask you a question, why Lane has Such serious racial discrimination?”

When Amberxiu heard this, he couldn't help but want to clap his hands. This is what he was waiting for.

Arthur Lane spent a lot of time getting James Watson to calm down, but the title "Your Majesty" still couldn't be changed.

Before James Watson raised his head, Umbersheu put away the memory crystal and returned to its original position.

 After just two words, James Watson choked up and could no longer say a word.

 James Watson has grown up listening to the deeds of His Majesty the Holy King since he was a child. He is the greatest hero and the greatest emperor of Lane. The reason why James Watson can become Lane's supreme judge is because he has regarded Arthur Lane as his idol since he was a child, and he holds himself to the strictest standards in every word and deed.

"Your Majesty, I am here to welcome you back to the country. The empire needs your guidance."

Now, finally seeing this great man, although it was just his heroic spirit, his appearance was exactly the same as that of the statue, and James Watson was moved to tears.

This is a precious image of Lane's Supreme Judgment kneeling before him. If encountered on the battlefield, it would be played directly in front of the two armies, making the Lane people think that their Supreme Judgment had long since rebelled, and might not fight by then. win.

James Watson's mood calmed down a bit, but his tone was still quite excited.

After James Watson saw Arthur Lane's heroic spirit, he was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then knelt in front of Arthur Lane.

“Your Majesty, I never thought I would be able to see you in person in my lifetime. I am so lucky.”

 Let's see how you Lane people explain it to Arthur Lane.

James Watson was completely unprepared. He didn't even understand why Arthur Lane would ask this question.

"Your Majesty, darkness and light are incompatible. Undead are deformed deaths. Liches need to kill humans to create phylacteries. Zombies like to devour the flesh and blood of living people. Even the lowest skeletons have extreme hatred for living creatures. Ryan wants to protect humans. , naturally we must be enemies with the undead.”

 After saying these words, James Watson also glared at Amberxiu, suspecting that this undead was stirring up trouble for their holy king.

James Watson thought he had explained it clearly, but Arthur Lane said: "Did you know that three of my companions who fought against the Dragon Tyrant with me were undead? Two of them even blocked me. Being hunted by the Dragon Clan, even his soul was shattered."

"Ah? This...is not recorded in the history books."

James Watson's eyes widened. He had never heard of it.

 Arthur Lane frowned and said strangely: "Then what exactly are recorded in your history books?"

"What is recorded in the book is that Your Majesty was brave and invincible. He killed the dragon tyrant and allowed mankind to regain freedom. As for the others, I only know that you, the Elf King of Silver Moon Highgarden, were once your companions. As for the others, they did not The detailed records only mention the sacrifice of dozens of heroes..."

James Watson’s voice became quieter and quieter as he spoke. He is not a person who studies history, and he has never thought there was anything wrong with such records before.

 But now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong.

Why don’t the heroes who jointly resist the dragon tyrant even have names? Even the Elf King was not mentioned in detail, just adding a name because he was still alive.

 Arthur Lane said with grief on his face: "If this is the country I founded, then I betrayed them."

During the reign of the demon dragon, all intelligent races were slaves of the dragon clan. Arthur Lane's journey was paved with their lives. It was the sacrifices of everyone that brought him to the front of the demon dragon.

 As a result, the Lion Empire is extremely racist?

 This is the cruelest betrayal!

“Let’s not talk about the undead, what about the orcs and dwarves? I heard that you are not only targeting the undead, but are the dwarf and orc kingdoms also invaded by you?”

 Arthur Lane's tone became excited.

James Watson hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Orcs and dwarves...we have always had a feud. Over the years, we have attacked each other, and it is no longer clear who invaded who first."

More than a thousand years have passed, and James Watson is about sixty years old. Before he was born, Lane was already at war with all his neighbors. He seemed to have grudges with all his neighbors. The specific reason was unclear. .

Arthur Lane said puzzledly: "What happened to turn you Lane people into the second dragon tyrant?"

James Watson quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is not so serious. At least we have always been very good to humans. Otherwise, Ryan would not be able to muster such a strong national power."

"The Dragon Tyrant was also very good to the dragons at the beginning, but this was based on enslaving other races." Arthur Lane raised his voice and asked James Watson: "Tell me, are there slaves in the Lane Empire? ?”

 James Watson replied shamefully: "Not much, but still."

 “Are these slaves human beings?” Arthur Lane continued to ask.

James Watson lowered his head and did not dare to answer any more, or even dare to look at him again. Lane abolished slavery, but only for humans. Many dangerous and hard jobs are left to slaves of other races, and dwarf and orc prisoners of war are particularly suitable for these jobs.

 Arthur Lane got the answer from his silence. He said sadly: "What on earth did I do? Why did my country become like this?!"

Amberxiu suddenly said at this time: "According to my investigation and research, the problem lies in the death of Arthur Lane. When the Holy King was on the throne, the Lane Empire got along well with other races, not only assisting other races to establish Whenever our kingdom encounters any natural or man-made disaster, everyone will work together to overcome it.

“At that time, there was no racial discrimination in Lane, and there were other ethnic groups settling in the country.”

After hearing this, Arthur Lane seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked, "Really? Are you lying to me?"

 Amberxiu was a little strange. He had already talked with Heki Stone and the old Elf King. Didn't he tell Arthur Lane these details?

 Thinking about it, you are right. You cannot say to Arthur Lane: "Your descendants fought with other races at your funeral and almost spread your ashes."

 This will make Arthur Lane very painful.

It is estimated that Heki Stone only asked relevant questions about the era of the Dragon Tyrant. He only briefly mentioned the events after the founding of the Lion Nation and did not mention the relevant details. As for the old elf king, he probably spent most of the time reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness with Arthur Lane. Before he could talk about the rest of the conversation, Arthur Lane fell into a deep sleep.

Hence, Arthur Lane only knew about Lane's general state, such as racial discrimination, extreme bellicosity, etc. The specific details were not very clear.

Amberxiu took out a pile of parchment and ancient books from his private space. This was part of the information he had obtained from Huggie Stone. He originally planned to study it himself, but he never had time.

Now, it’s time to use it to support his statement.

Arthur Lane is not the kind of person who loves to read. After flipping through it, he found that he couldn't understand it at all, so he had to ask Ambrose to help explain.

Ambrose quoted the scriptures according to Huggie Stone's statement, and Arthur Lane was completely convinced.

James Watson glanced at Amberxiu strangely. Does this lich even study history? He was also convinced by Ambrose. It seemed that the Lane Empire had problems after the death of Arthur Lane.

 The key turning point is Arthur Lane's funeral.

"There is a story among the elves. After the king died, the demons surrounded his body, trying to tear off a piece and swallow it. The king's wife sacrificed herself and drove away all the demons. This was talking about the mysterious funeral. "

James Watson said: "This story is too outrageous. How could His Majesty's funeral be so chaotic? What kind of devil dares to appear in Lane?"

"Then I don't know, but we can ask someone who knows the inside story." Amberxiu said.

 “Someone who knows the inside story? Who are you talking about?” James Watson felt that he could not keep up with Ambrose's thinking.

Amberxiu explained: "It goes without saying why this story is only spread among the elves, because it is the elves who made up this story. So who is most likely to make up this story? Of course it is Hildas Terra, This old elf king has lived since the age of the dragon. Everything points to him. Just ask him for answers."

 Arthur Lane said in surprise: "Hildas? Why didn't he tell me about this?"

Amberxiu didn't answer. He just walked to the door and opened it. The old elf king was standing outside the door.

Amberxiu said to the old Elf King: "After eavesdropping for so long, is it time to tell us the truth? Don't eavesdrop in front of the Lich next time. We don't rely on our eyes to see. Your life breath is so obvious, I think It’s impossible not to find out.”
