This lich needs more money

In a deep trench in the sea.

There is a bizarre ecology on the seabed thousands of meters deep. In a place where the sun cannot reach, the appearance of various marine creatures can only be described as random.

Aiolos lay in a huge shell, and the water gathered into a vortex on his fingers as he turned them.

Not far away, a strange fish with a mouth bigger than its body was sucked over. Halfway through, it was scraped off its scales by the razor-like water flow, and its flesh and blood were crushed. All the soft things were stirred into a thick juice and flowed into Aiolos' mouth.

The white skeleton of the strange fish slowly fell and fell into the deeper seabed.

Aiolos has lived in this trench for several days. At first, he got lost and swam in the sea and got hungry. He chased the fish school and came to this place.

The terrain of this trench is too complicated. After wandering around for a long time without finding a way out, Aiolos simply lived here.

But he was not really giving up. In the past few days, Aiolos had mastered many new abilities. Aiolos no longer needed to create huge waves to control the water flow. He could now control the water pressure and crush all the strange fish in the deep sea. If it fell on a living person, the water pressure could also crush the person into meat paste.

In addition, Aiolos had learned to feel the ocean current and could distinguish the taste of sea water. Compared with a few days ago, he was completely transformed.

This was the gift of the gods, which allowed a newborn to control such a powerful force.

Aiolos felt that he had rested long enough. After eating this meal, he swam to the surface of the sea in the direction of the ocean current.

It took Aiolos less than two minutes to reach the surface of the sea from the thousand-meter deep sea. The waves formed huge waves under his feet, pushing him forward quickly.

This time, he must find Ariel's location.

But Aiolos didn't know that the direction he was heading in was completely opposite to the Kingdom of Rage. The front was not where Ariel was, but the territory of the Shark Hua fishman.

It will probably take a long time for Aiolos to find Ariel.

While the son of the gods was running around in the sea, the Withered Rose had already set off for the Kingdom of the Raging Tide, and was on the Black Tide of Ambershu.

The brothers Hasting and Hares were trembling in the control of the Black Tide, not daring to look at the Withered Rose. The two brothers have now changed from useless thugs under Ambershu to captains of the Black Tide, but even as captains, the two brothers still have a kind of fear of the Withered Rose from the bottom of their hearts.

This undead queen is different from their master. She exudes a dangerous aura all over her body. Even the undead dare not approach her, for fear that she will crush them to death with her fingers if she is unhappy.

The Withered Rose has been the queen of the Underdark for many years. Her hands can no longer be described as stained with blood. Behind her seems to be an endless sea of ​​blood. The undead creatures are very sensitive to these murderous auras. The time it took for the two brothers to transform into undead was very short, and they almost couldn't stand in front of her.

The two brothers also sighed in their hearts. In comparison, their master who was obsessed with money was quite easy to talk to. If the two brothers followed the Withered Rose, they would probably be torn into scrap metal in a few days.

Withered Rose noticed that the two strange-looking undead were afraid of her, but she didn't take it seriously. This kind of thing was too common. Withered Rose was now concentrating on the information given to her by Amber Xiu. It was all about the transformation plan of the Kingdom of Rage. The design drawings of the alchemy production line, the requirements for manpower, materials, and the requirements for light and water sources in the factory area, etc.

Withered Rose only had a little knowledge of alchemy and had never studied it seriously. These materials were a bit difficult for her to understand. But Amber Xiu had already prepared it. In addition to the original information, there was also a simplified version, which did not have relevant principles but only requirements.

Withered Rose only had to talk about the contents of this list one by one.

However, this made her look useless. Not thinking about the reasons, just following orders, this is also a very unfamiliar experience for the Withered Rose, so she still tried to understand the information as much as possible to avoid any mistakes during the negotiation.

But the Withered Rose has this patience, but her daughter Melina can't do it. The Withered Rose handed her the simplest part, and Melina's body twisted restlessly after a few minutes. When asked, she didn't read a word.

The Withered Rose was helpless. Why doesn't this daughter look like her parents? And she doesn't look like either of them.

Melina said helplessly: "Mother, I really don't understand, the words above seem to be dancing!"

"How can you inherit my kingdom in the future?" The Withered Rose said with regret.

Without the most basic patience, Melina will sooner or later be deceived by the slaves below to go mining.

"Mother, you are a lich, and you won't die. Why can't I always be a princess?" Melina retorted.

Withered Rose sighed and said, "Who said I won't die? After completing the plan to destroy Ryan, I will leave this world."

"Ah? Why?" Melina said in surprise.

"Because I have fulfilled my wish. The dead don't have any feelings. If it weren't for this obsession, I would be no different from a corpse. When your father helps me fulfill my wish, I will start my next journey. Whether it's going to hell or extinction, I will leave anyway."

Apoptotic Rose was incredibly calm when she said these words, and even had a hint of expectation.

Memories endow emotions, and emotions support the continuation of life. The undead have lost all senses that can obtain happiness, and the world is just a boring instruction manual for the Lich. The only thing that can give a lich emotional fluctuations is that powerful obsession. If even this is lost, then the lich will have no meaning in continuing to exist.

It's like a machine. Even if it can still be used, as far as the machine itself is concerned, it is a dead thing.

The Lich's body is a dead thing, and even the soul has become insensitive. When the long-cherished wish is fulfilled, the Apoptotic Rose will completely lose the way to feel happiness, and the soul will become stagnant water, with no desire to continue functioning. At that time, with Being dead makes no difference.

Apoptotic Rose is a special case among lichs, because most people who transform into lichs just want to live. Immortality is the most common wish of lichs, so they will never be satisfied.

The same goes for Ambrose, because money has no upper limit, and he can always maintain this urge to pursue wealth and live forever.

The moment Apoptotic Rose transformed into a lich, she knew very well that she would perish with the destruction of Ryan, but this could not stop her will to destroy Ryan. She wished she could die with this disgusting empire now.

So everything in the Underdark is not important to her. Wealth, power, slaves... none of these things can make Apoptotic Rose take it to heart. She just wants to completely eliminate the hatred in her heart and relieve this eternal torture.

Melina heard the news for the first time. She opened her mouth in shock, and then said excitedly: "No, mother, you can't just leave like this! Even if Ryan is gone, don't you still have me? And father, Are you willing to leave us? Can’t we become your obsession?”

Melina's series of questions made Apoptotic Rose stunned for a moment, and Apoptotic Rose couldn't help but think of the lich that made her heart beat.

She still can't tell whether it was because Amberxiu helped her destroy Ryan that made her heart beat, or whether it was simply because of Amberxiu's specialness that made her heart beat again, which had been dead for many years.

Looking at Melina's panic expression, Apoptotic Rose smiled and said: "Melina, I envy you very much. Your soul is not as alive as an undead. But it's too early to say this now. Wait until Ryan is destroyed. Let’s talk about it, I believe your father will find a solution when the time comes.”

Leave everything to that man. If he is willing, he should be able to help him find a reason to live. And if he doesn't want to, then what else can he miss?

Apoptotic Rose looked down at the information again, as if she was completely unaffected.

But Melina couldn't calm down. She never thought that one day her mother would leave her. This was an absolutely unacceptable future.

Melina frowned and fell into deep thought: "My mother's only obsession is hatred. Can I let her turn love into obsession like Aunt Canggu? No, I have to let my father study it carefully and never let my mother leave. "

Although Melina is not very smart, she knows that she is not very smart, so she decided to rely on her omnipotent father for this matter. After this negotiation, Melina decided to stay with Amber Xiu and beg him every day until he found a way.

The Kuroshio carried the mother and daughter with different ideas to Storm City in the Kingdom of Rage.

Storm City is the capital of the Kingdom of Rage, located on a high mountain in the center. Storm City has a population of 100,000 and is the most prosperous place in the entire Raging Tide Kingdom. It is surrounded by island groups of different sizes. Most of the people in the Raging Tide Kingdom regard living in Storm City as their highest goal in life.

So although the Kingdom of Rage is poor, Storm City still looks quite prosperous.

With Princess Ariel's permission, the Kuroshio was able to land directly near Storm City, on a hillside on the outskirts of the city.

Ariel had also received the notice long ago and brought a group of storm priests to greet them here.

The ceremony was very simple, but the identity of the people present was sufficient, so the welcome specifications could be considered grand.

Ariel met the legendary Queen of the Undead for the first time, and was a little surprised at how cool and noble the Queen of the Undead was. Compared with her, her own princess seemed to have less aristocratic aura.

But Ariel will not feel ashamed because of this. She is a girl born in the sea. Only thunder and storms are the goals she pursues. Her aristocratic temperament is incompatible with the Kingdom of Rage.

I just don’t know why the negotiation target was changed to this Undead Queen, and all the previous preparations were in vain.

I don’t know what the character of this Queen of the Undead is. How can I get her to give up more benefits?

Ariel just said hello to Apoptotic Rose. Before she could talk to him, Apoptotic Rose smiled brightly and said, "Princess Ariel really surprised me. I have never seen anyone as handsome as you." The sassy female general is much better than my daughter. Can you be my tour guide? I want to see where you grew up and let my daughter learn from you."

Before Ariel could react, Apoptotic Rose had already taken her arm and stood closely with her.

Ariel was stunned for a moment. Is this Queen of the Undead so kind? It's completely different from the cold and cruel rumors.

Everyone in the Angry Tide Kingdom was stunned. Only the people from Amber Xiu knew what was going on.

Hasting looked at the scene in front of him and sighed in his heart, worthy of being the Queen of the Undead who could be a pair with her master, the means of deceiving people were so similar.
