Chapter 52 The Last Chip
"Regarding Alan Watson, I still need you to cooperate in a play."
Hearing what Gustavo Flynn said, Amber replied without thinking: "Acting? It costs extra money."
Gustavo Fring said with suppressed anger: "You haven't even asked what the play is."
"All plays require extra money. I'm not targeting you. This is my principle in life."
Gustavo Flynn sneered and said, "A lich is considered a human?"
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "Racial discrimination? Then I will renegotiate the price!"
Gustavo Flynn could only grit his teeth and discuss with Amber.
Before setting off, Gustavo Flynn actually already knew the final decision of the parliament. No matter what the cost, Alan Watson had to be obtained, but he couldn't send it to the Ryan Empire so easily.
The Alchemy City needs the help of the Ryan Empire, but if it is just to send the son back to the Supreme Judge, this favor is not big, but it is not small. Maybe it can gain the personal friendship of this big man, but it is probably not enough to ask him to promote major cooperation between the two countries.
After all, the Supreme Judge chose the toughest way to deal with his son's capture, and obviously did not care about his life or death.
This would reduce the value of Alan Watson.
Therefore, the Alchemy City needs Amber's help to add fuel to the fire.
Didn’t the Lion Empire send ten Knights of Judgment to rescue people? The Knights of Judgment is a powerful legion second only to the Lion Guards, and its members can be said to be the future pillars of the Lion Empire.
If all these Knights of Judgment were captured, and the Alchemy City redeemed them, then this favor would be many times greater. James Watson ignored his son's life and death, and others would say he was a noble man, but if it were the other ten promising paladins, James Watson would be scolded if he remained indifferent.
Amber Xiu refused and said, "It's a good plan, but you want me to deal with these ten holy warriors by myself? You think too highly of me. The Knights of Judgment were specially formed to deal with the undead. They must have mastered the means to completely restrain the undead. I don't think I am their opponent. Even if I hide in the castle, I can't win."
"Do you think they won't cause trouble for you if you don't agree?" Gustavo Flynn felt that he had caught Amberxiu's handle.
The Knight of Conviction came for Alan Watson, and there was no way Amber would be able to escape. It was absolutely impossible for him to use this excuse to get more money.
Amber Xiu laughed and said resolutely: "At worst, I will tie Alan Watson to the castle gate and run away. The world is so big, how can I, a legendary lich, be afraid of not being able to find a place to conduct experiments? If we break up, I won't get the formula, and you won't get the chance to do me a favor."
Gustavo Flynn retorted, "You are reluctant to part with these 32 formulas and blueprints. You should know very well how much wealth this is."
"Of course I know, but these formulas are meaningless if the phylactery is broken. If you want me to take a risk, then offer a price worthy of my risk. My old friend, you know me very well, just as I know you very well. Your presence here means that the council has already made a decision. There is no need to beat around the bush. Offer your final price."
Amber was very confident because the prophecy fragments had proved that the Alchemist Council was unable to control the crisis in the sewers and they were the ones who were forced into a desperate situation.
The Alchemy City is a huge place and it cannot be abandoned at will. All Amberxiu needs to do is draw a teleportation array and pack up the valuables in the castle and take them away.
He has a way out, but Alchemy City does not, so he definitely has the upper hand in this negotiation.
The result of the negotiation was just as Ambersu had expected. Gustavo Flynn was not stupid, but Ambersu had long seen through his true colors. This was an unfair gamble, and in the end, he had to reveal his cards in front of Ambersu.
"I can promise you that if you can cooperate in this scene, the parliament will allow you to use the wishing machine once."
After saying this, Gustavo Flynn felt somewhat relieved. The trump card had been revealed, so there was no need to hide it anymore. He only had to wait for Amber to agree or refuse.
When Amber Xiu heard the words "wishing machine", he was surprised and said, "You...really made this thing?"
Many years ago, before the mysterious president retired to the background, a piece of news spread in the Alchemy City: the Alchemist Council was going to solidify the powerful magic of prayer into magic props and create a wishing machine that could fulfill wishes.
The art of wishing can be said to be the most powerful spell under the gods. In theory, as long as your wish is described accurately enough and it is a wish that the gods can help you realize, then it can be realized.
For example, a lich could be transformed back into a human being, or a person who was completely dead and whose soul had dissipated could be brought back to life.
This is the most commonly used direction of prayer. Resurrecting loved ones and friends has always been the dream of most people.
Of course, if one is ambitious, one can use prayer to allow a mortal to be promoted to a legend and gain powerful strength.
It’s a pity that even a legendary wizard may not be able to use the wish spell. This spell is too difficult and requires talent, hard work and luck.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Could it be that this group of lunatics really solidified the art of wishing into their magic equipment?
Wouldn't that mean that the prayer spell would be used infinitely?
Amber thought for a moment and then taunted, "Although I am a ghost, you are kidding me. If you really made a wishing machine, what crisis can't be solved?"
Gustavo Flynn explained: "The wishing machine really exists, but it cannot perform perfect wishes. After many years of hard work, we have given the wishing machine the power to indicate the right path. I know that you had an accident when you were promoted to Legend, and you gave up the almost divine power of the Prophecy School. So among the legends, you are at the bottom..."
"If you scold me again, I will charge you more money!" Amber Xiu said coldly.
Gustavo Flynn finally couldn't help rolling his eyes and had to change his words.
"Anyway, you know it yourself. If you abandon the power of prophecy, you will not be a qualified legendary lich. The wishing machine can help you find a solution to this problem. It will guide you to find new power. Of course, if you feel that this wish is not enough, you can also ask other questions. The wishing machine will definitely give the most correct and detailed answers."
Amber carefully observed Gustavo Flynn's expression, and his intuition told him that this guy was not lying.
Amber hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Deal. I will hand over the Knights of Judgment and Alan Watson to you."
