This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 154 The whereabouts of the magic dragon artifact

 Ambrose extended an invitation to Naomi, hoping that she would become his "beast companion". Catherine, who had been silent, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

 “How is this possible? You are going too far!”

From Catherine's point of view, this is entirely relying on the power of the gods to coerce the other party. This is not a contract beast partner at all, but clearly a slave.

Moreover, Naomi is a human, which is completely inconsistent with the rules of the ranger looking for beast companions.

If it is this kind of contract with the nature of possession and servitude, it should be impossible to complete.

Catherine couldn't care less and said to Naomi quickly: "Don't agree, don't give in because of the power of the gods. This contract cannot be forced. As long as you refuse in your heart, the gods cannot force you to become someone else's slave!"

 The God of Alchemy rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Now he is a bad guy.

Amberxiu also said helplessly: "Why are you a slave? You have several wild beast partners yourself."

"I have never forced others to sign a contract! It is wrong for you to do this. Forcibly enslaving others is not a real ranger at all, and it cannot exert real power."

 Catherine only thought that Amberxiu was eager for quick success and wanted to persuade him.

However, Amber Xiu said: "You said it yourself. This thing depends on fate. When fate comes, you will naturally respond. Now I think she is quite suitable."

 “It’s impossible to lie!”

 Catherine did not believe that humans with complete intelligence often did not have such pure ideas and were unable to complete such a contract of full devotion.

This lich is just preparing to take advantage after hearing that the other party may transform into a time dragon. He is not sincere at all.

Catherine was about to explain to Amberxiu that this is not how the Ranger's beast partner is found. It requires love and care... A group of green light lit up between Amberxiu and Naomi, turning into complex magic runes. , were imprinted on two people respectively.

Catherine looked at Naomi in surprise. The little girl's body was surrounded by countless magical lights and shadows. These abilities were constantly entering her body and fully strengthening her.

Once the contract is established, the ranger and the beast partner will strengthen each other. The level gap between Naomi and Amberxiu is too big, so Amberxiu doesn't feel anything. However, Naomi has gotten a big advantage, and the magic power in her body is increasing at an extremely high rate. Fast growth.

"How can this be?"

It is clear that the contract requires the sincere consent of both parties, so how could this girl be willing to become Amber Xiu's pet?

Amberxiu also felt very strange. When he saw Naomi, he faintly felt that the power in his body was about to move. This may be what Catherine was saying before, when you meet the right beast companion, the power will answer itself.

 As for why Naomi is suitable, Amberxiu is a little confused.

 Perhaps druids are also considered beasts... right?

 After all, many beasts are no less intelligent than humans. Dragons can make contracts, so why can’t humans?

　　The rapidly growing power stimulated Naomi and she fell into a coma. Amberxiu quickly picked up her fainted body and carefully placed her on the hotel bed.

 “What’s going on? Did you faint?” Ambrose asked Catherine.

"After the contract is completed, the beast companion will share its power with you. This girl is too weak, so she is being strengthened by your power, which may take a long time." Catherine explained, and then couldn't help but ask: " How could she agree? She should know what this contract means. Although the ranger and the beast companion are relatively equal, they are one master and the other a servant. How could she agree? "

Amber Xiu didn’t quite understand it before, but after completing the contract, he could vaguely feel her thoughts.

Amberxiu could only explain awkwardly: "Probably, it's because I am the only one in the world who has ever been kind to her."

For Naomi, her previous life was too bad. All the good memories were fake. When the truth broke out, all her relatives became enemies. On the contrary, it was Amber Xiu, a stranger who had been around for several years. reached out to her for the first time.

In the Alchemy City, druids are discriminated against. Naomi spent a long time trying to save her people, but in the end no one was willing to pay attention to her. It was Amberxiu, a lich, who helped her when she was helpless. .

 The second time, she fell into panic, not understanding what happened and why everyone suddenly became her enemy. It was Amber Xiu who took action and told her the cruel truth.

The third time, when she was betrayed by everyone and was about to fall into madness, no one cared about her life or death. It was Amberxiu who took action and put Naomi into a deep sleep with a gesture of mercy.

 It’s really ridiculous. As a druid, only lichs have been nice to her in this life.

 Naomi has been hit by reality and has mental problems, so she chose to commit suicide after waking up.

 As a result, the most vicious person even deprived her of the right to die, leaving her in this half-dead state. Naomi was tired and didn't want to struggle anymore.

When Amberxiu showed her the contract, Naomi agreed without any hesitation. She is the only person in the world who is kind to her, and has powerful power to protect her from harm, so why should she hesitate?

 It can only be said that the more miserable a child's childhood is, the easier it will be to be easily deceived when they grow up.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this attitude of almost self-sacrifice that Amberxiu felt inspired.

As mentioned before, Amberxiu has become accustomed to the lifestyle of the undead, and it is a bit difficult for him to infect a wild beast with love and patience. Therefore, when he met Naomi, he felt that he had met the most suitable "beast partner".

This is not very good, everyone gets what he wants, Amberxiu is happy, Naomi is happy, the God of Alchemy is also happy, and the only one who is unhappy is Catherine.

Even though she understood Naomi's thoughts, she still felt that Amberxiu was taking advantage of others' danger.

Amberxiu said strangely: "I find you are quite racist. Why can a black panther be a pet, but not a human being?"

Catherine retorted: "Humans and elves are both humanoid races. We are intelligent beings with similar appearances. Naturally, we cannot accept each other as pets. Isn't this a normal idea?"

Amber Xiu chuckled and said, "But I'm a lich, and I'm not a humanoid race. I can now transform into the form of a spider or a giant dragon! People can keep black panthers as pets, but what's wrong with me, a lich, raising a human being?" ?”

Liches really cannot be considered a humanoid race, because they are essentially undead. They can change their skeletons however they want. Amber Xiu was so happy that day that he could turn himself into a bone dragon, but his soul is not a dragon soul. That’s all.

 “This…this…”

 Catherine, a little girl who had not seen much of the world, could not refute immediately, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Amberxiu didn’t blame her. Most humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves had this idea. Treat creatures that are similar in appearance to yourself as "same kind" and be willing to treat each other as equal beings.

 Judging people by their appearance is not only a habit of the elves, but also of other intelligent races.

But who made most of the gods to be in humanoid form... This makes the humanoid race accustomed to being superior to other races. If you try to make all the gods become slimes, it is estimated that slimes will be respected in this continent. .

Amberxiu doesn’t want to discuss this ideological issue too much. Anyway, the contract has been made, and you can’t go back on it even if you want to.

While Naomi was receiving the baptism of power, Amberxiu asked Catherine to contact the elves quickly to see if she could get the artifact.

 Harvey has less than two months left, and Ambrose needs to seize every minute and every second.

 Catherine was very unhappy, but she could not find a point of rebuttal either in language or theory, so the elf queen could only contact the elves angrily.

 Catherine is a character who will never take her anger out on others no matter how angry she is. Harvey is innocent, Catherine reminded herself.

 So despite her reluctance, Catherine worked hard to contact the elves.

Probably because she was very concerned about the safety of the former Queen, as soon as the message was sent back, the elves immediately responded. First, there was a long period of greetings, wanting to know how Catherine was doing outside, full of an old father's mentality, and confirming that nothing happened to Catherine and she didn't suffer much. Only then did the elves give what Amber Xiu wanted. news.

At that time, when Arthur Lane was dealing with the Dragon Tyrant, he indeed stole the artifact that could reverse time from the tyrant in advance, so that he could successfully kill the Dragon Tyrant.

It’s just that this thing can only be used by dragon blood, so Arthur Lane secretly gave this artifact to the elves for safekeeping. According to the old king’s memories, he hid the thing deep in the sea.

It has been too long, and the old king can only give Amber a rough location now, but there is no way to confirm which location it is.

“Why don’t you put the artifacts of your elves in your own treasury?” Amberxiu asked in confusion.

Catherine said with a little embarrassment: "Back then, who would have thought that the Dragon Tyrant would really be killed by Arthur Lane? If this artifact is placed in Silver Moon Highgarden, the Dragon Tyrant will definitely feel it, and maybe he will It's coming. Besides, this artifact can't be used by the spirit, so it's more suitable to seal it in the depths of the sea."

 Simply put, I just don’t want to hide this hot potato at home.

The reason is this, but after the death of the dragon tyrant, they did not take out this artifact, which is really a waste. If you can't use it yourself, you can also exchange it for some gold coins for the Dragon Clan. I believe the Dragon Clan overseas will be happy to buy this artifact back.

“Okay, now that the coordinates have been found, let’s go find this artifact quickly.”

 Catherine has just experienced the fun of adventure, and she can't wait to do it again.

 The sea, she hasn’t seen it yet.
