Chapter 158: Silver Moon Knight's Request
Ryan is the mortal enemy of the undead, so Amber will naturally pay special attention to news about Ryan.
This white-haired Silver Moon Knight was very famous. Although Amberxiu had never seen him, he had heard of him.
Master Morgan, who created the zombies, died at the hands of this Silver Moon Knight, and not even his ashes were left.
Even after seeing it with his own eyes, Amber Xiu still found it hard to believe.
The Silver Moon Knight looked very weak.
His steps were unsteady, his face was sallow, his breathing was short... He looked like a dying old man, not the strongest paladin in the empire.
Facing the salute from the entire bar, the Silver Moon Knight simply waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone get out."
The young paladins didn't dare to ask any more questions and left the tavern immediately. The remaining guests also left in a hurry, seeing that the situation was not good.
Catherine was hesitating whether to leave with the crowd, but the Silver Moon Knight had already sat opposite her and politely said, "Your Majesty, please inform us in advance next time you visit. It is impolite of us, Ryan, to entertain you like this."
"Ah? What did you say?" Catherine was flustered and began to recite the lines according to her own background setting: "Sir, you misunderstood. My name is Irene. I am the only daughter of a small noble family. This time I came..."
"Well, Catherine, you've been caught, and it would be rude not to admit it."
Amber sighed, and the skull emerged from the mercury zombie, and the rest of the body flew out of the private space and reassembled.
When the lich's body was revealed, the magic circle of Sand Shadow City immediately responded. A large amount of holy light began to condense, trying to completely purify Ambersu.
Amber was about to cast a spell to resist the holy light, but the Silver Moon Knight recited a spell and the condensed holy light slowly dissipated.
"Aren't you going to fight me? I'm ready to self-destruct." Amber Xiu asked straight to the point.
Silver Moon Knight coughed and said, "The Empire has no reason to attack you. Don't you know that? Your name has been removed from the wanted list. I should be right, right, Master Ultraman?"
Amber Xiu said strangely: "The Ryan Empire still uses wanted orders to deal with undead creatures? Your paladins kill undead creatures on sight. When did you talk about procedural justice?"
"It has always been procedural justice and imperial law. All undead creatures found will be considered enemies by default. Those that cannot be killed on the spot will be reported for wanted notice."
At this point, Silver Moon Knight couldn't help coughing again, and then continued: "However, you are the first one to withdraw the Undead Wanted Order, and there is really no precedent to follow.
“For this reason, I specifically consulted the Supreme Judge, and he gave the final verdict. Unless you take the initiative to attack anyone in the Ryan Empire, or commit any evil deeds that harm humanity, Ryan will not purify you.
"This is your reward for mediating the war and saving tens of millions of lives."
Amber didn't know what to say. He might be the first undead in history to be rewarded by Ryan.
But why does it sound like I'm a traitor? If this gets out, will people call me an undead traitor who betrayed my race?
Amber said to Silver Moon Knight: "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to hide so hard. I should have walked in openly. I would have seen the expressions of a group of paladins who are disgusted with me but can't kill me."
Silver Moon Knight said: "Then I will not shield you from the Holy Light's lock, and you will be subjected to continuous bombardment."
Amber said proudly: "It doesn't matter. It's more handsome to enter the city under the bombardment of holy light. Those holy warriors will be even angrier when they find that the holy light can't do anything to me."
Silver Moon Knight said in confusion: "I thought you were a kind and wise man who didn't like fighting, but I didn't expect you to be as childish as a wild cat with its fur standing on end."
Amber Xiu sneered and said, "If this conversation gets out, it means that I, a lich, am unmoved by the Lion Empire's solicitation and I am righteously denouncing your hypocrisy. Other undead will not regard me as a traitor. Mr. Paladin, I still want to stay in the organization."
"Spread it out?" Silver Moon Knight was a little confused.
Amber said: "If I had been polite to you, who knows if you would have taken a picture with the memory crystal. If you spread it after I leave, the other undead will transfer their hatred for Ryan to me."
Silver Moon Knight: ...
He really didn't have such an idea.
This lich is so dark inside that he can harm people without even opening his mouth.
Silver Moon Knight glanced at Catherine and wondered why the elven queen was hanging out with a lich.
When Amberxiu entered the city, he caused a reaction from the Holy Light Magic Circle. Although it was very weak, the undead reaction was the highest alarm, so it was immediately reported to the Silver Moon Knights.
The old man saw Catherine's disguised appearance through the monitoring magic circle, and he realized something was wrong at first glance, and quickly confirmed that it was the legendary Elf Queen.
The battle in Sand Shadow City was over and the Silver Moon Knights were all ready to leave. Who would have thought that such a big shot would show up in the last few hours of the rotation?
Silver Moon Knight had to go out in person to figure out what was going on.
As soon as he entered the bar, he sensed the breath of the undead hidden in the mercury figurines.
An elven queen and a legendary lich, this combination was too strange, even the Silver Moon Knight was not sure what they were here for.
Silver Moon Knight decided to get to the point as soon as possible: "Your Majesty Catherine, I wonder why you suddenly visited me?"
Seeing that she had been exposed, Catherine stopped pretending and could only confess, "We really just want to borrow the mainland teleportation array. Our destination is the Emerald Dream Forest."
Silver Moon Knight frowned.
An elven queen and a legendary lich, sneaking in disguise just to borrow a teleportation array? This doesn't sound right.
Amber said: "Don't worry, open the teleportation array for me now, and I will leave now. Who likes to stay in Ryan's territory?"
The Silver Moon Knight thought for a moment, then said, "It is of course possible for Her Majesty Catherine to borrow the teleportation array. But this..."
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "I knew it. The price is going to go up, right?"
He is very familiar with the tactic of raising the price.
Amber said to the Elf Queen: "Catherine, help me fill it in."
Catherine took out her little gold-thread purse very obediently and asked the Silver Moon Knight, "How much do you want to pay for this?"
Silver Moon Knight: ...
The relationship between these two people is even more outrageous than I imagined. They look like master and servant.
Catherine wanted to pay, but how could Silver Moon Knight accept it? His purpose was not to get money.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Actually, I would like to ask Master Ultraman for a favor. It's a rare opportunity for a legendary lich to visit us, I wonder if you can cooperate with our Ryan to conduct an exercise?"
Amber was stunned by the request of Silver Moon Knight, and then he said in surprise: "You want me to be your sparring partner? And then take this opportunity to kill me?"
This lich has a very dark heart.
Silver Moon Knight shook his head and said, "I will not disobey the order of the Supreme Judgment, and naturally I will not set a trap to frame you. However, the dwarves were defeated too quickly in the battle in the desert, and these guys won it with almost no difficulty."
Amberxiu's mouth opened wide. If the dwarf heard this, he would probably commit suicide out of shame.
However, Ryan did fight beautifully in this battle. He crushed the dwarves from beginning to end. The dwarves couldn't even fight back and directly lost half of their country.
If the Alchemy City had not collapsed and allowed the dwarves to take advantage, this Golden Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago.
"This battle in the desert was their first. They won too easily and started to become frivolous and impetuous. With this mentality, they will suffer a great loss when they encounter a real fierce battle. Since you happened to be passing by, why not teach them a lesson.
"I heard that you are the best at capturing people alive. If you are willing to help, I can write a letter of recommendation for you to ensure that you will have no problems on your future journey."
Amberxiu was a little tempted by what the Silver Moon Knight said, because it would take three transfers to teleport to the Green Dream Forest, and all three transfers were within the territory of Ryan. With the guarantee of the Silver Moon Knight, it should be possible to save a lot of trouble.
"You want me to pretend to be an undead and attack the city?" Amber asked.
"It's up to you. There is no certainty in war, and there will be no advance coordination. You can use all the means possible. Just make sure the number of casualties is less than one thousand."
"One thousand? You are really cruel."
Amber was shocked by this number. Are the people of Lion so cruel to their own people? Silver Moon Knight said, "Even though they had detected the presence of the undead, the soldiers guarding the gate let you in and even helped you write a letter of guarantee. What if it was another legendary lich that entered the city? There would be more than a thousand casualties. These guys really disappoint me."
The old and frail Silver Moon Knight had an iron-blooded aura when he was excited, which made Amber Xiu feel under tremendous pressure.
But he was really overthinking it. There was a second legendary lich in the world, but there was no second Catherine.
"I am not against this request. It is a rare opportunity to teach a holy warrior a lesson. However, a letter of recommendation alone is not enough."
If Amberxiu wants to take action, it will require a large amount of gold, so the cost must be calculated carefully.
"I have heard a little about your hobby. If you want to be paid, we can discuss it."
Amber Xiu smiled and said to the Silver Moon Knight, "How about this, in order to prevent you from thinking that I am not working hard, let's use the final results to speak for ourselves. For every Lion captured, you will give me 10,000 gold coins, how about that?"
Silver Moon Knight quickly shook his head and said, "My casualty quota is set at 1,000 people. Shouldn't this battle cost at least 10 million gold coins? This price is too outrageous."
It's not that we can't pay money, but ten thousand for a prisoner is too outrageous. If this price is agreed, all the Silver Moon Knights will be sent to a military court.
Amber Xiu said again: "Don't worry, a holy warrior is 10,000, an ordinary soldier is 1,000, and a civilian is 100. Is this price acceptable?"
The Silver Moon Knight estimated that most of the holy knights in Sand Shadow City had been transferred, and there were less than a hundred people left. Even if they were all captured, the value would be less than one million gold coins. As for the soldiers, there were less than two thousand, so it was still acceptable if they were all captured.
Besides, does Amber Xiu really have the ability to capture everyone in the city?
Silver Moon Knight said: "Civilians don't count. This military exercise cannot involve civilians. I can agree to the other two."
"What about the militia? You have quite a few of them, right?"
"Militia? Just count them as normal soldiers."
Sand Shadow City is a newly recovered city. It is composed of only about a hundred locals, regular military and militia, and those who help maintain law and order, and there aren't many of them.
Amber Xiu said with satisfaction: "Very good, you swear to the Holy Light, I promise to teach the Ryan Empire an unforgettable lesson."
