This lich needs more money

Ariel raised the hammer in her hand, and a vortex of thunder and ocean currents gathered in front of her.

With a flick of the brush, the vortex spread, covering all the Kuo Tao fishmen within a hundred meters.

Amber Xiudu was numbed for a moment by the electric current coming from the sea water, and all the Kuo-Toa fishmen enveloped by the thunder whirlpool died.

It's so terrifyingly powerful. This move is no better than Revenge Storm, at least at the level of an eighth-level spell.

Ariel looked at Amberxiu and said to him in sign language: "Ultraman Master, I told you that you will be in danger alone."

This is a bit embarrassing, obviously it looks like a god descending to earth, but after this sign language is done, the momentum is reduced by half.

The result was also obvious. The Kuo Tao fish people were not yet dead, and they began to surround them again.

Amberxiu could only say one thing to Ariel: "Repel the enemy first!"

When the two of them cooperated, the Kuo-Toa suffered disaster. Originally, their combat power was not as good as the two legends Amberxiu and Ariel. Amberxiu's various methods kept the Kuo-Toa busy.

Although Ariel doesn't have that many tricks, the magic weapon in her hand is very powerful. She just discharges electricity and discharges it in various ways. The sea is Ariel's home turf, even turning the area into a giant fish soup.

The battle lasted less than three minutes. The Kuo-Tao fishmen left behind a pile of corpses, and then they all retreated amidst weird cries.

Although he won, Amberxiu still failed to find the illusionist hiding in the dark. He was probably a legendary strongman among the Kuo Tao fishmen. This guy hid from the beginning and didn't show up until the end. He was really insidious.

Be prepared in the future to avoid such trouble again.

It’s just an illusionist, but it’s not like he’s never been encountered before.

Amberxiu's greatest asset may be his hundreds of years of adventure experience. He has seen basically all types of enemies and can find ways to deal with them. The next time we meet, he will definitely catch the Kuo-Tao fishman illusionist and turn him into his undead puppet.

Ariel hung the hammer on her waist again and came to Amberxiu's side.

Her body still carried a slight electric current, and her skin jumped out with a little electric light from time to time, which even the sea water could not cover up.

"Ultraman Master, are you okay?"

Amberxiu quickly replied: "I'm fine, no injuries at all."

There are some scratches on the Mithril mecha, but it doesn't matter. As long as you don't care about this small flaw, it doesn't even need to be repaired.

Ariel asked: "Now do you still think your guess is correct? Could it be that these Kuo-Toa people are controlling the sea beasts to prevent them from attacking, in order to lure us into their trap?"

Amberxiu did not answer the question, but just raised his right hand and said, "I don't know, so now we ask someone who knows to answer it for us. Great Storm Lord, I just completed your test, right?"

The mark on the palm once again pulsed with thunder, and the tall projection of Talos appeared in front of them.

As soon as Ariel saw the appearance of the god she believed in, she couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship. But Talos did not look at Ariel, but just stared at Amberxiu and said: "I'm not very satisfied with what you said. After all, it was my believers who helped you. I also want to see how you can get rid of the influence of that chaotic thought." , it turns out that the Kuo Tao fish people are really useless.”

Talos never liked such anticlimactic battles, but the Kuo-Toa refused to listen to him and left after suffering heavy losses.

Ariel never expected that the ambush just now was arranged by the Storm Lord. Could it be that she had destroyed the arrangement of the great god?

Just as he was about to ask the gods for forgiveness, Amberxiu spoke first: "If you want to see a more interesting battle, why not go watch the battle between Ryan and the orcs. They will definitely fight to the death, and they will definitely be better than me in a small battle." It’s much more fun to make a fuss.”

Ariel was stunned. Why did this lich speak so casually? Does he know who he is facing?

In Ariel's heart, Talos represents destruction. There is no god more majestic or more terrifying than him in the world. Isn't this lich afraid of offending Talos and being punished by him?

What shocked Ariel even more was Talos's attitude. He didn't seem to care about Amber Xiu's tone, but said enthusiastically: "Thanks to you! If you hadn't given Ryan a few magic mirrors, they would have lost. . If you hadn’t given Ryan a general with outstanding military leadership skills, Ryan would have lost. However, you also gave the orcs a lot of undead troops, which can be considered an equal match. Now they fight every day, and there is something good to watch every day. ”

This time it was Ambrose's turn to be stunned and asked in surprise: "Ryan will lose? How is this possible?"

In Amber Xiu's impression, the orcs fought without any rules. Perhaps their individual strength was better than Lane's average, but without cooperation in large army operations, they were no more than cannon fodder. But Talos said that without the help of the magic mirror, Ryan would lose?

Talos laughed loudly and explained to Amber Xiu: "You don't know? The orcs have a gifted young man who can communicate with any orc from a long distance. The orc who originally only relied on instinct to fight suddenly became a He has defeated all the elite players, and under his control, Ryan has lost several games.

"After all, the gap in combat power is not too big. This orc general can give orders to all soldiers at the same time. This kind of command ability is too terrifying. The key is that long-distance communication is no longer a problem for the orcs. A commander who can control the overall situation will fight How easy is it to start a war? If you hadn't sent a few magic mirrors to Ryan, their border city would have been lost."

Amberxiu was very surprised and said: "Gruush also started to give blessings to smart people instead of blessings to the strong?"

Talos smiled and said: "Do you think only mortals can see the changes of the times? The gods have seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations. We know the signs of the world's changes better than you. The blessings of the gods will become more and more abundant. , until it approaches the bottom line set by Io.

"Your war weapons are constantly changing the form of war in this world. Maybe one day the Lane people will come to you to order undead weapons. That would be so interesting!"

"Thank you very much for the reminder. I will continue to pay attention."

Amber Xiu also hopes to see that day when no one will be killed in the fighting. Just use drone warfare. War costs money anyway, so why not give him the money?

But Amberxiu was not concerned about this issue now. He continued to say to Talos: "Lord of the Storm, although this test is a little unexpected, but I think that if you are as great as you, you will never break the contract, right? Then my reward ?”

"No wonder the gods say you, a lich, are greedy. How dare you bargain with me? Well, since your performance is compromised, so is the reward. I can give you news about the Githyanki you are looking for. It is here. I can also tell you that they are able to hide here because I allow them to survive."

Talos' words made Amberxiu fall into deep thought, and after a moment, he came up with a bold guess.

"This sea of ​​thunder was created by you yourself, right? That's why Ariel and I are able to frighten the sea beasts in this sea, not because we are legends, but because Ariel carries your artifact, and I have With your mark.”

Talos admired Amberxiu's intelligence very much. This lich could really associate many things from various clues.

"Yes, this is indeed a sea area that I personally created. I might as well tell you that a long time ago, there was another name here - the Arena of Storms, which was a gladiatorial arena used by my believers to please me. Unfortunately, This place has been abandoned for a long time. Little Skull, are you interested in taking another test?"

As soon as Talos finished speaking, Amberxiu asked: "Do you want to restart this arena?"

"Yes, you are really smart. Get into it, you should know how to satisfy me."

"this……"

Amberxiu was a little hesitant, he didn't want to waste time on such a thing. He is not a natural warrior, and has no interest in fighting in the gladiatorial arena.

However, Talos seemed to have guessed what Amberxiu was thinking, and then said: "Many souls who died in the arena are still wandering in this sea area..."

Upon hearing this, Amber Xiu said without hesitation: "It is my honor to offer the grandest duel to the great Lord of Storms! It is my responsibility to find a home for those warriors who died heroically! Leave all this to me! "

That was a heroic spirit that died in battle, and could still linger in this sea area for countless years. How powerful a heroic spirit must it be?

This time when they go to sea, it doesn’t matter whether they can find the Githyanki and the Mind Flayers, it’s these heroic spirits that are the most valuable harvest.

Talos wanted this effect. Seeing that Amberxiu had taken the bait, he turned to Ariel, who had been crawling on the bottom of the sea, and said: "My devout believer, you have done a good job. The two times you have cooperated with this lich are Wise choice."

Ariel quickly said respectfully: "Glory belongs to you, great god."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Ariel felt a little confused.

Two collaborations? Does it refer to the alchemy factory in the Kingdom of Rage and this outing adventure?

"Hahaha, keep working hard, your dedication will be rewarded!"

Talos's projection slowly dissipated, and Amberxiu's bracelet also lit up again.

Ariel stood up again, and she said to Amber in surprise: "I didn't expect that you were also blessed by the Lord of Storms, and it was indeed right to cooperate with you. However, He mentioned cooperation twice just now, I also have a strange feeling, as if I have known you for a long time..."

"This is not important." Amberxiu interrupted Ariel's thinking, and then immediately changed the topic.

"Go on, the Githyanki are inside, as well as those gladiator spirits who have been wandering here for who knows how many years. Your Highness, Princess, this is a test Talos has given to the two of us. Please forget about those unimportant things right away. You don’t want to let Talos down, do you?”

Ariel suddenly changed her serious expression, and she said firmly: "Absolutely not, I will dedicate my glory to my Lord!"
