This lich needs more money

Chapter 288 Allen Arrives

 When it comes to luxury goods, the most famous ones on this continent are naturally those produced by the elves.

“I have a good relationship with the elves. I can help you buy luxury goods. As for food, you can make a list. I also have a good relationship with the druids. I can get as much meat as you want.”

Amberson said this, which made Gareth startled.

“I know that the elves have done business with you, but you also have a relationship with the druid? You are a lich!”

The druids currently in power in Emerald Dream Forest are all factions hostile to the undead, right? Unpopular factions like the Spore Society, which are closer to the undead, have never had a voice.

“You always say that I am bragging, but in fact, which of what I say is not true? If I say I can provide it, I will never lie to you.”

The dream barrier is all under his control. When the time comes to ask these druids to send some livestock, they will not obediently obey.

Amberxiu's words were very convincing. Gareth thought about all the things he had done with Amberxiu. Even though this lich usually made his **** tremble when he boasted, he was really telling the truth.

"In this case, I will discuss it with the Dragon Clan. There is no need to decide this matter now. I will ask them to make a list and talk about it slowly when I get back."

Melina said nothing, just watching the two elders chatting, and her admiration for Amber Xiu deepened in her heart.

Amberxiu recognized this embarrassed young man at a glance, Alan Watson, a paladin who had been captured by him.

 The tables and chairs in the tavern are very expensive, so don’t fight here.

Allen ignored the looks of other guests, looked towards the tavern, and immediately locked onto the table where Ambrose was sitting.

His body was as sloppy as if he hadn't taken a shower in years, but his eyes were as bright as stars. Even though he couldn't see clearly, his eyes made him look extraordinary.

 But at this moment, the troublesome feeling appeared again.

As for Gareth and Melina, they followed Amberxiu closely, especially Gareth. He also recognized Alan and was already eager to beat him again.

Amberxiu took Allen and ran far away, until he ran into a small forest.

Alan looked confused and was pulled out of the tavern by Amber Xiu.

“Tell me, did you kill those civilians?”

Just when he was wondering, the tavern was pushed open, and a man in ragged clothes and an unkempt face walked in.

 Accidentally developed another big customer. Amberxiu was also very happy and handed the small box of the Spider Priesthood to Gareth.

Father can indeed do anything. Not only do the elves want to give him face, but he also has the final say over the druids. He is really awesome.

This kid, why are you here?

In this way, the deal between the two priests was completed. After he finished talking to the elves, Amberxiu took Melina home.

 The barrier was opened, cutting off all possible surveillance. Only then did Amberxiu say to Allen, "Don't say you are here to trouble me."

Happily drinking down the wine in the bottle, Amberxiu was about to leave the tavern to send a letter to Catherine.

There seemed to be a lot of excitement. Many guests crowded to the window and stared at Amberxiu and Allen.

Alan was stunned and said in surprise: "It's you?!"

Eren also reacted now. Regardless of whether it was fate or not, he still pulled out the tattered long sword.

Amberxiu understood that this was where the trouble lay. Although he didn't know how this kid came here, Amberxiu stood up and said, "Don't do anything here. If anything happens, let's go outside and solve it."

Amber Xiu was surprised. How could those old farmers who were part-time bandits influence the elves' territory from hundreds of kilometers away?

Thousands of miles of tracking, a dusty journey, Allen came to avenge those few civilians, no matter who the opponent was, he was fearless.

 However, Amberxiu replied without thinking: "Those five civilians? I didn't kill them."

Alan said angrily: "I didn't say how many there were at all!"

Such a clumsy lie, for this lich to be able to say it, is simply an insult to his intelligence.

Amberxiu did not feel any embarrassment when his lie was exposed. Instead, he said with certainty: "I killed five robbers who wanted to stab me to death, not the civilians you mentioned."

　　“You killed people and you still slandered them?!”

The long sword in Allen's hand has begun to emit a holy light. This power made Amberxiu look surprised.

 "You boy! Are you really promoted to legend?! I thought it was Ryan who was making false propaganda!"

 This guy is only in his twenties!

Amberxiu is really jealous. Did the Lord of the Dawn come last time to do this kid any favors? A legend in his twenties, this is clearly a cheat! Seeing Allen's serious expression, Amberxiu said helplessly: "You are so stupid, I guess you won't listen well unless I beat you down."

Alan's eyes were focused on Amber Xiu. He had been humiliated by Amber Xiu before and had no power to fight back. Today is finally the time to avenge his shame!

　　However, Amberxiu’s next words were: “Gareth, it’s up to you, teach this boy a lesson!”

Gareth laughed loudly, walked up to Allen and said, "Boy, do you still remember me?"

Eren's pupils are as narrow as the tips of needles, it's the Headless Horseman! The man's body shrank and the appearance of his armor changed. Allen didn't even recognize him just now.

　　He was severely punished by Gareth, and he couldn't even win against him.

 Poor memories came to mind, but Allen did not panic at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course I remember, but I am no longer the same person I was before."

The long sword was swung out, and the dazzling holy light turned into a sharp blade, slashing towards Gareth's chest.

This sword already has some of the original demeanor of the Silver Moon Knight.

Gareth made a sound of surprise. After not seeing him for a short time, Allen seemed to be a different person.

The sword came to him, and Gareth reached out to grab it, crushing the holy light energy that restrained the undead with his five fingers.

But before Gareth could fight back, Allen had already flashed behind Gareth, and the long sword wrapped in holy light stabbed Gareth's armpit. This is the gap in the armor, the most likely place to be punctured.

As long as the sword edge can penetrate Gareth's body, the power of the holy light can flow into it and destroy the undead's body.

However, the sword did not hit as Allen thought. Gareth seemed to have eyes behind him and could sense all of Allen's movements without turning around. He bent his right arm and struck an elbow with Allen. The long swords collided together.

Huge power came, and Allen almost lost his grip on the sword, and quickly stepped back to relieve the unrivaled power.

Gareth knocked Allen back with one blow, then turned around and said approvingly to Allen: "Not bad, really good, you have made great progress. You have just advanced not long ago, and you are not a parallel importer."

Amberxiu rolled his eyes, this headless son-in-law, who are you mocking?

Allen stared at Gareth cautiously. The enemy was stronger than he thought. He might not be able to win, so he might need to retreat temporarily.

His legendary favor is unlimited teleportation, so it shouldn't be difficult to run away.

Just when Allen was about to make a strategic retreat, Gareth hit himself **** the chest.

The black armor turned into a thick black smoke and was sucked in by his belt.

Gareth took off his armor and wore only a thin gown. He said to Allen with his bare hands: "Come on, let me see your ability. The sword just now was not your full strength, right?!"

This was a naked provocation. Allen took a deep breath and swung his sword at Gareth again.

The sword light poured out like moonlight. Gareth also stretched out a hand to grab the flawless sword light and crushed it easily. What he did just now was not because his armor was powerful. Even if he took off the magic armor, he could still crush the sword light with his bare hands.

 But this time Allen did not make a sneak attack again, but chose an upright attack.

The long sword was like a dazzling light in Allen's hand, and the trajectory of the long sword could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.

Gareth no longer took the sword with his bare hands as arrogantly as before, but used his flexible body skills to avoid Allen's attack. While dodging, he said: "It feels a bit like back then, when I was being chased by a group of paladins. , some of them are as good at swordsmanship as you, but it’s a pity that they are not legends, otherwise I would have died long ago.”

Allen didn’t express any opinion on Gareth’s praise, he just tried his best to apply everything he learned.

　　The swordsmanship he practiced hard since he was a child, the skills taught by the Silver Moon Knight, and everything he learned from his enemies on the battlefield. Facing a powerful enemy like Gareth, Allen melted these sword skills into one under pressure. There are no longer any restrictions on moves. Every move is as magical as an antelope hanging its horns.

 Gareth also dodged calmly at the beginning, but later had to block.

 “This boy is so talented, he is treating me as his teacher!”

Gareth sighed in his heart, and then added a little more strength.

Allen found that no matter how he swung the sword, no matter what angle he used to attack, Gareth was always one step ahead of him. His broad palm could always wait for his wrist to hit him accurately, forcing Allen to hit him. You can only keep changing your tactics.

Several minutes passed like this, and neither of them even touched each other.

Amberxiu was a little impatient and said loudly: "Gareth, stop playing, I'm in a hurry."

 Just after Amberxiu said this, Alan's wrist was grabbed by Gareth. With just a click, Allen's wrist was crushed to pieces, and the sword could no longer be held and fell to the ground.

No matter how talented Allen is, he is still not as good as Gareth, the headless horseman who has been fighting for hundreds of years from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Time is a friend of genius. The longer the time, the greater the distance between you and your peers. But time is also the enemy of genius, because their opponent is another genius, hundreds of years ahead of him.

Amberxiu walked to Allen and said slowly: "Now, please listen to me carefully."
