Chapter 77 The Most Important Sacrifice
Amberxiu came out of the state of time stop, and his head was held in the hands of the beautiful woman carved from white jade, just as shown in the prophecy.
Amber looked at the noble beauty in front of him, then looked at the mighty death knights on both sides, and had already guessed her identity.
"You are...Ms. Rose?"
Amber Xiu's tone was a little awkward. He never expected that he would meet this big customer under such circumstances.
It turns out that the head that was removed was not really removed, but only a head grew back by itself.
Withered Rose smiled and placed Amber's head on the table beside her, then stretched out her finger and pointed at the Death Knight beside her.
The fingers of the Withered Rose seemed to be a black hole, which directly sucked the Death Knight in. The flesh and blood, the armor, everything was crushed and turned into pure dark magic.
Then, the Withered Rose pointed her finger at Amber's head.
These dark magic powers turned into thousands of threads, starting from Amber's neck, and continued to interweave and combine. Amber only felt his bones itching, and with the help of this power, new bones quickly grew and he returned to the appearance of a skeleton. Although it was impossible to fully recover to his peak state, he could already exert 30% to 40% of his original strength.
Amber Xiu stretched his body and said with emotion: "Ms. Rose, compared with you, my control over dark magic is like that of a child."
The move of the Withered Rose amazed Amber. This was no longer a difference between the strong and the weak, but a difference in the control of dark magic. As expected of the Undead Queen of the Underdark, Amber could not catch up with her in necromancy even if she rode a bone dragon.
Withered Rose smiled and said, "We just have different specialties. I can't see the secret of the Alchemy City, but you only saw a little bit of the incomplete map and discovered the truth."
Withering Rose was not being polite. In her opinion, although Amber was a fake legend, he was truly knowledgeable. Perhaps it was because he knew so much that he was able to create such a special creature as the Mercury Zombie.
"However, I was surprised that you actually gave me the life box for safekeeping."
Amber Xiu felt extremely embarrassed. It was hard to say it was random.
Damn fate, there is really no room for maneuver. But having my head picked up by the withered rose is better than having it held in the palm of the hand by the paladin.
Amber Xiu could only bite the bullet and say, "You and I are partners, so of course I choose to trust you. Moreover, even if you think this life box is fake, you still spent a lot of effort to protect it. The magic scroll that freezes time, your generosity makes my soul tremble."
The last sentence is what Amberxiu really thinks. This Ms. Rose is really not short of money.
Withered Rose didn't explain or be polite. She really valued Amber Xiu and was very happy to work with him. One was rich and the other was skilled. They were a match made in heaven.
Over the years, the Withered Rose has only encountered one undead, Amberxiu, who can improve the zombies.
No matter whether the core technology was obtained from others or not, the research on magic was originally based on the achievements of predecessors. Amberxiu was able to combine the technology of the Alchemy City with the zombies, and this creativity was his achievement.
If her teacher Morgan knew this, he would probably be very happy.
Because of this, the Withered Rose hesitated for a long time, wondering whether she should take this opportunity to enslave Amberxiu, as his life box was right in front of her.
But to enslave an undead, one needs to tamper with the other's soul, which is just like human brain surgery and cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.
If Amberxiu wanted to resist, his soul would most likely be severely damaged, causing him to become a real puppet and completely lose his own will.
What the Withered Rose values is his wisdom rather than his strength, and turning him into a fool would be more trouble than gain.
There is an 80% chance of making him a fool, a 10% chance of completely destroying his soul, and the last 10% chance of perfect control.
If Amberhu was a reckless undead like Gareth, the Withered Rose might have given it a try, but Amberhu worked with his wits, so the risks of doing so would far outweigh the rewards.
Sure enough, it’s better to try to bind the other person with feelings.
After all, he had already sent the life box to me before I did anything. Withered Rose felt that she might have mastered the method to make the undead fall in love, but she just hadn't figured it out yet. She could talk to the Bone Dragon lady next time, maybe it would work.
Amber Xiu didn't know what the Withered Rose was thinking. After all, as long as the undead didn't deliberately make expressions, they could remain expressionless. The micro-expression reading of humans was meaningless to the undead. The beauty in front of him, who looked like a human, just kept a polite smile. Don't try to see any clues.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, each with their own thoughts, and Withered Rose asked about the plans for the Alchemy City.
Withered Rose asked enthusiastically: "You are here in such a mess, it seems that something went wrong with the plan, do you need my help?"
When Amber heard this, he was actually a little tempted, but he still shook his head and said, "Ms. Qiangwei, I can't pay you enough for asking you to help me. I can't give you the opportunity to perform the wish spell."
He had never thought of asking the Withered Rose for help before, but just passively accepted the other party's information.
The main reason is that this prayer technique can only benefit one person.
Don't think about making a long list and then making a wish saying, "My wish is to achieve everything written on this piece of paper."
Don't try to use such tricks. A wish is just a wish. Otherwise, the laws of the world will seriously teach you how to be a human being.
But the Withered Rose said: "The wish spell has no meaning to me. You should have understood my persistence. I want to destroy Ryan, but the wish spell cannot do it."
Amber thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, the Lord of Dawn will not let the wish destroy Ryan."
The Lord of Dawn is an extremely powerful deity, and the essence of the wish technique is to change reality through the power of the world's laws, which is a piece of cake for the deity.
The Lord of Dawn only needs to make a slight move and the effect of the wish will completely disappear.
This is the benefit of faith. When you believe in a generous and powerful god, you can really get protection. Of course, the premise is that you must live according to the teachings of the god, otherwise the backlash effect will be very terrifying.
"Even if you don't need the prayer, I can't give you an equivalent reward." Amber hesitated for a moment, then said, "Or, can I give you a discount on the subsequent payment?"
Withered Rose laughed, and then said to Amber Xiu: "Just think of it as an advance investment. Maybe you can become a god through this prayer."
Amber shook his head and said, "I won't make such a greedy wish. Besides, you can also wish to become a god, right? Your chances of success are greater than mine."
"But then I can't destroy Ryan myself. Gods have their own rules. Otherwise, why can't the gods of those countries invaded by the Ryan Empire take action? I am still in the material plane, facing the Ryan Empire. Once I become a god, I will face the direct intervention of the Lord of Dawn, and my chances of winning will be even smaller."
What a clear-headed person! This Queen of the Undead has done a lot of research and preparation for her hatred, and has taken every aspect into consideration.
"So, are you really willing to help?" Amber asked with some anticipation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Of course, you entrusted the life box to me for safekeeping, so I have to repay this trust. Moreover, I think you should have made a perfect plan long ago. The only reason for the accident is that you are too weak."
Amber: ...
Although what Withered Rose said was a bit hurtful to her self-esteem, Amber knew it was the truth. If he hadn't used the power of the Prophecy School by force, he would have been beaten by the alchemist riding a puppet. If he couldn't exert the power of a demigod, it would be meaningless no matter how much he learned.
Amber said to Withered Rose very seriously: "In this case, I'll leave it to you. Ms. Rose, please help me one more time. If you need me in the future, I will do my best."
"Is it free?" asked the Withered Rose.
Amber Xiu was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "The consultation fee is free, and the rest... I can give you a discount, really a discount."
The withered rose was laughing so hard that its branches and branches were shaking, and its long hair was hanging down, giving it a unique kind of beauty.
But this could not shake Amber's will. No matter how beautiful it was, it was not as beautiful as the gold coins.
After laughing wantonly for a while, Withered Rose regained her dignified appearance and said to Amber Xiu: "Let's get started. What do you need me to do for you now?"
"First of all, I need to know where I am? This should be your palace, right? Have you returned to the Underdark?" Amber asked.
"No, we are still in the Alchemy City, just hiding temporarily."
Amber was surprised by what the Withered Rose said. Didn't the Alchemy City ask the queen to leave? How did she hide this from everyone? The Withered Rose seemed to have guessed Amber's doubts and explained, "Those alchemists who were responsible for sending me away were transformed into undead by me and became my puppets. Therefore, the reports received by the Alchemy City were all false, and then I hid myself."
After listening to this, Amber Xiu could only praise him as amazing.
The time interval between sending out the order and reporting to the higher authorities should be very short. How could he turn those administrative officials into undead puppets in such a short time without attracting anyone's attention? How powerful is this necromancy? I can only say that he is worthy of being a legend. A fake like him cannot compare.
Thinking of this, Amberxiu became even more eager for the art of prayer.
Amber continued, "Since we are still in the city, it will be more convenient. The prayer ritual is still missing two keys. One is the legendary sacrifice. They originally wanted to sacrifice me. Although I ran away, they must have a backup plan. But for the second key, they should not have a substitute, so we need to find this second key first and get it in our hands in advance."
"Oh, what is the second key?" asked the Withered Rose with great interest.
"A druid girl named Naomi Watts. She should be imprisoned somewhere in Alchemy City. We need to find her. If I'm not mistaken, she should be imprisoned in the most famous Hall of Wisdom in Alchemy City."
Withered Rose repeated doubtfully, "A druid? The key to the wish?"
"I also think it's outrageous, but my inference should be correct."
This was not entirely inferred. In the prophecy obtained at the beginning, the druid girl appeared abruptly in the prophecy. At that time, Amber Xiu could not understand how this girl had anything to do with the destruction of the Alchemy City.
It was not until he saw the map drawn by the Withered Rose and the true and false information in the tower that he pieced everything together.
"What's so special about this druid?" asked the Withered Rose.
Amber Xiu did not hide anything and expressed his biggest guess: "She is most likely the blood relative of the president of the Alchemist Council, and the most important and irreplaceable sacrifice."
Recommend a friend's new book. "Zhang San, please respect yourself!" is an extremely funny article. It makes you laugh until your abs are full and makes you feel strong. If you are interested, you can take a look.
