This lich needs more money

Chapter 76 Believe in fate

Although lichs can continue to regenerate, few lichs detonate their bodies before reaching a desperate situation.

The Lich's body can only be created by continuously condensing dark magic power. It is a high-level undead. The magic power Amberxiu needs when casting spells is all accumulated little by little.

Such a body is no less precious than a life box.

At any time, the destruction of the body is a heavy blow to the Lich, so no one thought that the Amber Order would self-destruct on the spot.

The dark magic power that was condensed to the extreme burst out instantly, forming a pitch-black wave that swept in all directions, and all the summoned demon puppets were enveloped in it.

Wherever the black waves went, the air began to be filled with a suffocating stench, and countless twisted and deformed monsters appeared, including double-headed spiders, sarcoma-like centipedes, and worms with eyes all over their bodies... These weird creatures were not entities. It's a curse formed because the dark magic is too strong.

Just as rotten things gather together to produce poisonous gas, when the concentration of dark magic reaches a certain level, a vicious curse will naturally occur.

Even the lifeless demon puppet was quickly corroded in the black waves, and soon became scrap metal.

Dipper can only continue to use his legendary power to repair his personal car, otherwise he will be corrupted by Amber Xiu's decisive self-destruction.

The turbulent black wave lasted for two or three minutes, and after it dissipated, only rusty iron wreckage was left everywhere.

Dipper looked at the debris on the ground and cursed viciously.

However, Amberxiu could no longer hear. After self-destruction, his consciousness had broken through the blockade of space and returned to his life box.

Lich Phylactery, this is a very special thing.

Many people mistakenly believe that the phylactery is the lich's weakness, the place where the soul rests.

In fact, this is not the case. The soul of the lich has always been in the body. Otherwise, how can it react quickly and cast spells instantly? There must be a delay in remote control.

Amber Xiu's soul fire has always been in his body, but after the body is destroyed, he can break through any blockade and allow the soul fire to be transmitted directly to the prepared phylactery.

The phylactery is the escape route, an absolute escape route.

No one in the history of the mainland has been able to isolate the connection between the lich's soul and the life box. No dimensional anchor, no space isolation, no exile... can block the escape effect of the life box.

A wish spell might work, but no one would use a wish spell to make such a boring wish.

When the soul enters the phylactery, the lich can begin to regenerate.

The time of rebirth depends on the lich's usual preparations. If a new body has been prepared long ago, it will naturally be reborn quickly and there won't be much difference in strength. This is the most powerful thing about the Lich. If you run out of mana and drink all the potion, he will come back to life on the same spot. This is a nightmare for most adventurers.

That's why there is a saying in the Nine Kingdoms: You must first find the lich's life box before you can kill a lich, otherwise your efforts will be in vain.

Amberxiu's soul returned to the phylactery, which was a larger space than an ordinary coffin.

It was filled with dark magic that was almost condensed into liquid. Amberxiu began to quickly absorb this dark magic to prepare for rebirth.

This is undoubtedly a very long process, but there is no way. After all, Amberxiu did not become a lich for a long time. Unlike those old guys who have been around for thousands of years, he does not have so much time to prepare, so it is troublesome to be reborn.

But it's not a big problem. His phylactery is in a very safe state and will not be discovered.

Not only because Amberxiu made a lot of fakes, but in fact these so-called fakes are the shells of life boxes. Amberxiu's real life box is not hidden in a certain shell, but is constantly being transferred between these shells.

Each mithril box has a space magic circle carved by Amber Xiu. In addition to expanding the storage space, it also has the effect of mutual teleportation.

As long as the mithril box is not opened in a normal way, the space magic array inside will be destroyed, and the real life box will never be transferred to this broken empty shell.

In addition, there are many additional restrictions.

For example, if there are other empty shells within a certain range, the life box will not be transferred to this location. Only the mithril shell stored separately may have the real life box. The main purpose was to prepare for the current situation, where the house was demolished and hundreds of life boxes were put together, waiting for Amber Xiu to throw himself into a trap.

These gathered empty shells automatically become fakes, and the true life box will never be transferred into this pile of empty shells. Only by re-dividing them and collecting them separately over long distances will they become transportable empty shells again.

Empty shells with holy light energy nearby cannot be teleported, and empty shells that have been moved frequently within a certain period of time cannot be teleported... Anyway, all conceivable settings have been added.

Therefore, although Amberxiu was not sure where his phylactery was, it was definitely in a safe state.

In fact, there is a better choice. There is a legendary spell called Ovo's Shattered Phylactery, which really divides the phylactery into countless fragments. As long as one of them is still there, it can ensure the rebirth of the lich. However, Amber Xiu is not good enough. , unable to cast this spell.

Therefore, he could only rely on his imagination and quantity to imitate Ovo's broken phylactery spell, which was an inferior alternative version of the miracle-making power.

The body is being reconstructed bit by bit. The first thing to be restored is the skull. This is where the soul fire is placed. Only with the brain can there be other things.

Although his own safety was no problem, Amberxiu felt a little unwilling to be forced to self-destruct by Dipper.

He originally thought that all the energy of the Alchemy City was placed in the sewers. He could escape from the tower first, then find an opportunity to sneak into the sewers, and then wait for the opportunity to seize the final fruit of the wishing technique.

Just leave that high tower. The Alchemy City is so big. It shouldn't be too easy to hide.

He had obviously already reached the door, but was blocked by Dipper.

Could it be that the prayer ceremony in the sewer really had nothing to do with him? These bastards couldn't do this. That was the reward for handing over those paladins. He was cheated out of his money. This fact made Amber Xiu prick all over.

No, I should calm down. In the previous prophecy, there was a scene where I appeared in the sewer and presided over the ceremony. At that time, I didn't understand what the ceremony was, but now it seems that it should be a prayer technique. With my character, They will not jump out to host the ceremony unless they can definitely take advantage. Therefore, it is impossible for them to complete the ceremony before I am reborn.

The prophecy will definitely come true, destiny is mine!

Amber Xiu comforted himself and quietly waited for rebirth.

The skull has slowly grown out, but the dark magic contained in the phylactery has been almost exhausted, and it feels like it can grow at most half a neck.

Oh, just give me a few hundred more years. Like some professions, lichs become more powerful as they get older.

The bones were loaded with levitation skills, and when the coffin lid was opened, Amberxiu's head left the phylactery and returned to reality.

Such a big skull popped out of the mithril box, and the moment the box was closed, the True Life Box was once again sent to another location to prevent Amber Xiu from being opened and killed.

Amber Xiu then tried to look around and felt that something was wrong.

In front of him was a dimly lit but extremely gorgeous room, which seemed to be made entirely of silver, with intricate patterns painted in gold. This is not just for luxury. Amber Xiu recognized at a glance that these patterns were the lines of magic arrays. They were layered and blessed with many kinds of magic effects.

Take a closer look and you will see that this is not ordinary silver and gold, but mithril and fine gold... The value of these materials alone is more than the combined value of Amber Xiu's life boxes.

What a luxurious palace. Have I ever been to a place like this? Or did someone collect the life boxes I threw around here?

This conjecture is very convincing, because Amber Xiu's phylactery was placed on an altar, and there were also complex magic circles painted around it.

Amberxiu felt that the situation was not good, because this was probably the inside of a certain spellcaster's mage tower. He would not be so unlucky that he would be killed as soon as he was reborn, right?

The dark magic power in the phylactery has been used up. If you want to be reborn again, it will take at least twenty or thirty years.

No, I believe in fate.

Amberxiu began to comfort himself with the thought of wealth and honor, preparing to quietly leave this gorgeous room and escape from this strange mage tower.

A trace of dark magic floated out of Amber Xiu's mouth, and he cautiously explored the surroundings.

As soon as they left the altar, the surrounding magic circle emitted a bright light, followed by the sound of burning magic scrolls.

A ball of translucent energy spread, covering the entire room. Amber Xiu's head could only stay in the posture of spitting out black smoke, and could no longer move. Even the dark magic power he spit out was solidified in the air by this transparent energy. among.

Amberxiu's extensive knowledge came into play and he immediately recognized this as the effect of the time stasis spell. A quasi-legendary level spell that can seal things within a certain range and put them in a state where time stops. It is said to be a stop, but it is impossible to completely stop time. In fact, it is to greatly slow down the loss of time, and it looks like a complete stop.

Moreover, this spell is still cast through a scroll, which will burn at least half a million gold coins.

Amber Xiu was a little flattered, and he was reluctant to spend half a million gold coins to protect a life box.

And Amber Xiu, who has only one head left, is in a weak state at this time. Even if he knows the way to break the spell, he can't use it at all now. He can only be like a little bug sealed in amber, waiting for others to release him. .

Probably, it won't take long.

Being able to use such a high-level defensive magic, the opponent should value this phylactery very much. Now that the spell has been triggered, the master of the mage tower should appear soon, right?

Who is the one?

In Amber Xiu's nervous and curious state of mind, a group of mighty death knights rushed in. They held the black flame sword tightly and vigilantly searched for traces of the intruders.

After the death knight came in, a graceful beauty wearing a black robe appeared at the door of the room.

After seeing Amber Xiu, she showed a surprised expression, walked quickly to Amber Xiu, and said to the skull: I thought it was a fake life box, but you actually gave me the real life box for safekeeping?

Thank you for your support. In one day, the first order was as high as 3,000, which is the pinnacle of my life. I was really nervous and couldn't sleep yesterday, so I got up at ten o'clock in the morning and quickly wrote a chapter. In order to celebrate the first order result, today is also over 10,000 words. This chapter is 3,000 words long, and there are more to follow. As for the update time, it will generally be updated from 12:00 to 1:00 noon and once from 11:00 to 12:00 in the evening. Thank you all again, I'm going to code, thank you very much!
