Arknights, my information is updated every day

Katia took a step forward and cautiously protected Magna and Ermengarde behind her.

Ermengarde frowned slightly and grasped the staff in his sleeve.

Magna stood on tiptoe, jumped over her husband's shoulder and looked curiously at the heavy transport truck blocking the road.

"It looks like a long-distance freight box truck. How did it get here?"

"Magna, don't forget those mysterious people who came to see us before!"

Hearing her husband's reminder, Magna instantly became serious.

Although I don't know why the two geologists were targeted, if trouble really comes, there is no other way except to deal with it actively.

As for who sent the invitation last time...

After a secret investigation, the couple discovered that it was most likely the remnants of the Witch King!

"If you encounter danger later, don't worry about me, just run to the camp!"

As Katya finished speaking, the truck door suddenly opened and a fat penguin jumped out.

"Haha! I didn't expect you to actually fly over the border mountains from the wasteland plains and get here!"

The emperor flapped his short flippers and jumped around, looking a little funny.

After shouting for a few rounds, he suddenly noticed three people standing not far away.

The whole penguin suddenly froze, as if an invisible hand was pinching its throat.

Damn it! Why are there people around the volcano in the middle of the night?!

The Naumanns were so frightened that their wool stood on end.

Where did this lunatic who suddenly appeared, Liberi, come from?

Ermengarde looked strange as he calmly put away his staff. He had not expected to meet a beast master here.

But as Chen Xiu got out of the car, the lich girl's lazy eyes suddenly widened.

Holy crap! A Cyclops!? Are these guys finally willing to come out for some fresh air?

No, why does it look like it’s just a cub that hasn’t reached adulthood yet?

And he looks very weak. Has he been injured recently?

Chen Xiu also noticed the three people standing like punishment not far away.

The two big sheep should be Eyjafjalla's parents. As for the one next to them, Liberi...

Chen Xiu frowned and looked at the false waves on Ermengarde's chest. So the lich also cares about this?

Ermengarde suddenly felt very uncomfortable with the gaze from the opposite side.

Could it be that my disguise has been seen through?

If that's the case, then this little guy is really capable.

"Sorry, we'll move the car right away." Chen Xiu raised his hand and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then, Chen Xiu grabbed the emperor and pulled him back into the car, still yelling.

"Boss, what's wrong with you again? I told you to follow the map, but you insisted on doing it. You've even come all the way to the volcano and you're still not giving up. There's no way out if you go any further inside!"

"Who are you saying is sick? I'm not sick!"

The Naumanns were a little hesitant at first, but they immediately felt relieved when they saw the emperor's reaction.

Ermengarde was lost in thought, feeling that there must be some hidden secret here, but it seemed that there was no chance to delve deeper.

The heavy transport truck blocking the road was quickly driven away, but when they returned to the camp, they saw each other around again.

It seemed that because it was getting late, this group of people who had taken the wrong path due to their unreliable boss were also preparing to settle down here.

"I'll keep watch," Ermengarde volunteered. "Don't you have to pick up Adele tomorrow morning?"

In the end, the Naumans chose to accept this kindness and wanted to meet their daughter in the best spirits.

Ermengarde casually cast a silent barrier around their tent, then moved two chairs and sat by the campfire.

If that handsome little guy really saw through his disguise, he would definitely find a chance to talk to him.

The crackling of the burning firewood, mixed with the sound of Ermengarde turning pages, echoed in the silent night.

Suddenly, a figure sat down on the chair next to me, and a greeting was heard.

"Good evening, Miss Lich."

Ermengarde closed the book and looked up at Chen Xiu who had come uninvited.

"Good evening, Mr. Cyclops? Um, isn't it a little too early to call you sir, little one."

"I heard that liches often use wisdom to judge how to get along with a person, rather than looking at their age."

Chen Xiu looked at Ermengarde and made up something that sounded reasonable.

Ermengarde's attitude turned serious, and he raised his hand to create a barrier.

"I apologize for any offense I've caused you, my fellow tribesman who has come from afar."

The figure of Miss Lich became blurry and her disguise was removed, revealing her true appearance.

Under the wide black witch's hat is a delicate little face the size of a palm. Gray-green hair cascades down from the hat like flowing water, falling all the way to the flat waist and abdomen.

The translucent black one-piece dress was wrapped around her slender body, extending from her round shoulders to her delicate toes, but there was a large hollow area on her chest, revealing an inverted triangle-shaped hole.

The corners of Ermengarde's mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of teasing in her smile, like a witch.

Of course, she is indeed quite despicable.

After all, he was a bad guy who could push his work onto Niv and trick her into working overtime for him.

Chen Xiu glanced at Miss Lich's chest obscurely, and deeply understood what regret was.

Even in the generally poor Sakota, there is still some vegetation if you squeeze in.

But Ermengarde is real steel plate, the 45-gauge kind.

Miss Lich keenly noticed Chen Xiu's gaze.

But before he had time to analyze it, the witty Chen Xiu changed the subject.

"I heard that a lich's life knot is connected to its body through a hole in its chest. I finally got to see it today."

"Has the Cyclops lived in a remote and cold place for so long that he almost forgot what the other people in his tribe look like?"

Ermengarde looked at Chen Xiu carefully, sensing his almost exhausted physical condition from close range.

"By the way, didn't those old guys teach you not to use your prophecy skills carelessly?"

"I've taught you. I got into this situation because I was trying to escape. Is there any way to recover?"

Seeing Ermengarde take the initiative to bring up the topic, Chen Xiu immediately took the opportunity to climb up.

Ermengarde was stunned for a moment, and her long, pointed ears twitched cutely.

She just asked casually and didn't say that she would help solve it!

Just as she was about to retort that she was going to go back to her parents, she looked up and met Chen Xiu's expectant eyes.

"It's said that the lich is the gatekeeper of the Hall of Knowledge and the most intelligent being among the Sarkaz. You must have a way, right?"

Ermengarde's words were stuck in his mouth, and he suddenly felt that he had been tricked by this kid.

Is this guy really a Cyclops? This doesn't seem like something a Cyclops would do!

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't open his mouth to refuse.

Miss Lich took out her staff with a look of disgust and said, "Sit still, I'll help you take a look."

Then, a large number of Sarkaz witchcraft that dazzled Chen Xiu fell on him.

Looking at Ermengarde's leisurely look, it seems that this level of spellcasting is as easy for her as eating and drinking water.

Among the existing Sarkaz races, only the Banshee can compete with the Lich in spellcasting, and even the Bloodseeker relies on physical attacks.

After a long time, Miss Lich lowered her hands.

The frown on his face suddenly relaxed, and the expression of annoyance on his face disappeared.

"I can't solve your problem. I can only help you alleviate it. You have to go find my teacher."

Chen Xiu's expression froze. He didn't expect that the Lord of the Lich King would have to take action personally.

That old man should still be teaching in the capital of Leithania.

After picking up Mostima this time, I will return to Longmen and will not pass by Trilintelme on the way. It seems that I can only wait for an opportunity to meet the old lich in the future.

"Ms. Lich, it would be fine if it could be alleviated. How exactly do I do that?"

"I can help you prepare the potion, but be forewarned, it's very expensive. One bottle costs three thousand ducats."

The Ducat is the official currency of Leithania.

Because it is a gold coin, it has a very high exchange rate internationally.

Three thousand ducats can be exchanged for at least thirty thousand Longmen coins, which is indeed a high price for a bottle of medicine.

Ermengarde's original intention was to make Chen Xiu give up. After all, his problem was not fatal, so he could be treated at any time.

But Chen Xiu took out a black gold card on the spot and said with a confident smile: "Money is not a problem."

Just swipe the Emperor's card first, and then help him make up for it after we settle the account.

Chen Xiu is still quite confident about making money.

Ermengarde stared blankly at the shiny black and gold card, and the urge to complain in her heart finally gave way.

We are all Sarkaz. How come you can do so well in other people's territory?

She is so miserable that she even has to work part-time to earn the money for her experiments!

Not only is life very tight, but I can't even save any money throughout the year.

Sometimes I even have to work three jobs.

Three thousand ducats is just the cost price. I haven’t made a penny from the beginning to the end!

Originally, she didn't think Chen Xiu could afford it, but now Ermengarde wished she could travel back a few minutes and slap herself.

Chen Xiu didn't expect that Ermengarde would be short of money. It seemed that the lich was not living well in Leithania.

That’s right, after all, I live under someone else’s roof, and even have to disguise myself when I go out.

Seeing how regretful she was, she probably felt that she was going to lose less money.

Chen Xiu immediately came up with a plan and knew what to do next.

"Three thousand ducats is just the cost price, right? How about we charge six thousand per bottle?"

Ermengarde suddenly looked up and suddenly felt that Chen Xiu was shining in her eyes. She thought he was handsome no matter how she looked at him.

"No problem, boss!"

Poor Miss Lich instantly went into business mode.

"However, I have limited materials on hand right now, so I can only prepare ten bottles for you at most."

"Can I ask about the effects of the medicine? You didn't say much just now."

This time, Ermengarde seemed particularly patient.

"Simply put, your body is now like a cup full of cracks, and because of the excessive overdraft of strength, it is unable to accumulate any strength at all."

"My potion can help you mend the cracks temporarily, allowing you to use this time to accumulate some strength and maintain a state of leaking and taking in water at the same time."

Taking out her staff, Miss Lich started writing and drawing on the ground, as if she was giving a special report to her sponsor. The complicated calculations in the report made Chen Xiu sleepy at one point.

"I understand basically. As for the money, how about I give you half of the deposit first?"

"Thank you for your patronage!" Ermengarde immediately bowed, obviously conquered by the power of money.

Chen Xiu was very satisfied with this.

It is said that liches have no desires and are only interested in the pursuit of truth.

It now seems that as long as you are still in human society, you need capital to pursue the truth.
