Chapter 72 Can I Trust You?

The box is full of life boxes.

Each one is only the size of a palm, made entirely of mithril, with powerful defensive magic attached, and full of the aura of the undead. It is impossible to distinguish them from the outside. Only after breaking the magic and opening the box can you confirm what is inside.

This box of life boxes cost Amberxiu a lot of gold coins. It can be said that this box of life boxes is the most valuable thing in the entire castle.

Amber picked one at random, sent it to Rose Decay through the Codex of the Dead, and then sent a message: [Ms. Rose, please, I'm leaving my life in your hands. This is a secret between you and me, please don't tell anyone.]

【Dead Rose: Don’t worry.】

Amber closed the Codex of the Dead with satisfaction, and then took Harvey out who was reading in the cell.

Harvey has been living a very comfortable life these days. He has a lot of magic notes and ancient books to read, he has no worries about food and drink, and he doesn't have to do anything. Even the skeletons monitoring him look handsome now.

Harvey was a little surprised when Amber suddenly pulled him out. He thought some ceremony was going to be held again.

As a result, Amber placed a delicate little box in front of him and said, "Harvey, can I trust you?"

Harvey was confused and didn't know how to respond.

I feel like a prisoner?

But if he denied it, he would probably end up in a bad situation. Harvey could only bite the bullet and say, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"

Amber said: "I am about to get into trouble, so I need someone I can trust to help me do something. Harvey, can I trust you?"

Amber asked again, this time with a more serious tone.

Harvey did not dare to be perfunctory and said very sincerely: "Sir, although I am your prisoner, I have benefited a lot from your care during this period. If you have any instructions, I will do my best to do it."

This was a sincere statement. Harvey had never seen a boss as generous as Amber. For a place like a library, others would definitely add hundreds of locks and charge per second when borrowing. How could they open it to you for free?

For this reason alone, it is not an exaggeration for Harvey to call Amber Xiu teacher.

Harvey also knew that he would have to pay back sooner or later for taking such a big advantage. The last time he presided over the prophecy ceremony was just the beginning. After all, his food allowance was two gold coins a day, and other expenses were calculated separately.

"Okay, I knew I could count on you." Amber handed the small silver box to him and said, "Take my life box and leave here. Leave the Alchemy City. The farther you go, the better."

Harvey's eyes widened. He thought that he was asked to preside over the second magic ceremony, but he never expected that the life box would be handed over to him.

This is the lich's life box, how could he hand it over to him... a prisoner? "My lord, you are not kidding, are you?"

"Who is kidding you? Take my life box and leave, then bury it somewhere. Don't tell anyone. The fewer people who know, the safer I will be." Amber Xiu said very seriously.

Harvey felt his shoulders become heavy. This trust came too suddenly and was too outrageous that he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

I stared at Amberxiu's face carefully, trying to find some clues, but there was no expression on the skull no matter how hard I looked at it.

After thinking for a long time, Harvey asked a question in a serious tone: "Sir, there are many books related to the School of Prophecy in your library. The author is 'King of Elden', and many of them are unique copies. I have never seen them anywhere else. Do you know this author?"

Amber Xiu said with a little embarrassment: "This... Actually, this is my pen name. Some books have not been published, so they are not unique copies. They are just my own research notes."

In the hundreds of years after crossing over, Amber gave himself many nicknames and used many pen names when submitting his books. When he entered the prophecy school with high spirits, he gave himself a second-year pen name, King Elden, but later he gave up the power of prophecy and never used this name again, and the rest of his manuscripts were not published.

Harvey smiled with relief, and then said, "I understand, my lord. I will keep your phylactery safe. Goddess of Magic, I will defend this phylactery with my life."

This change surprised Amber Xiu. What happened to this man? Why did he suddenly become serious? Swearing an oath to the gods was no small matter. Even if you were not a paladin, you would not dare to do it.

"Why are you suddenly asking about my pen name?" Amber Xiu asked curiously.

Harvey showed a strange expression and said, "You may not believe this, my lord, but I became a wizard apprentice because I accidentally got the "Introduction to the School of Prophecy" you wrote. Strictly speaking, you are my teacher."

"Wait, you mean, you got into the school of prophecy just by reading books and teaching yourself?"

Amber was surprised. The prophecy school was the most difficult to enter. Even if there were teachers who taught by hand, they might not be able to produce qualified students. Harvey was able to enter by self-study. Isn't his talent too high? Harvey smiled and said, "I just figured out now why my intuition told me to charge with the Holy Knight Allen when the war started. For me, being captured is indeed my greatest luck."

In fact, Harvey had already noticed something, because the magic structure used by Amberhu when designing the previous prophecy ritual was very similar to the style of the "King Elden". As the saying goes, an expert knows the door, Harvey has guessed that Amberhu has some relationship with the "King Elden".

I thought they were friends who had exchanged magic, or maybe they were master and apprentice...but I didn't expect they were the same person.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Harvey bent down to Amberxiu, bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, teacher. You not only helped me become a wizard apprentice, but also made me a true wizard of the School of Prophecy. I will do my best to protect your life box."

"Ah... Actually, there's no need to work so hard..."

Amber Xiu was a bit appreciative of talent. This kid was more talented than he had imagined. He would be even more valuable when he was used in the future. It would be a bit of a loss to let him die.

Harvey, however, did not understand the question in Amber's words and said firmly, "Teacher, I will leave now. When you finish your work, you can come to Sarokma to find me."

Sarokma, also known as the Golden Desert Kingdom, the Kingdom of Time, the Kingdom of Dreams... is a country where humans, dwarves, and many desert races live together. Like the Alchemy City, it is also a country where the undead can walk freely.

"You kid, you've actually been planning to run away for a long time, right?" Amber Xiu said.

"A prisoner who doesn't want to escape is also an incompetent." Harvey smiled and said, "Goodbye, teacher."

Amberxiu nodded. With Harvey's current abilities, as long as he was careful, there would be no problem going to Sarokma.

"By the way, when you go out, let Raul come find me." Amberxiu ordered.

Harvey quickly agreed, and then left quickly with Amber's life box. After a while, Raul came to Amber with trepidation and said respectfully: "Master, what can I do for you?"

Amber took out a delicate little box again and said to Raul, "Raul, can I trust you?"
