Chapter 184: No one has a clean background

Amber Xiu is very skilled in the art of transformation. Not only is his appearance exactly the same, but even his voice is exactly the same.

But playing a stranger does require time to practice. Amberxiu became so anxious that he forgot the basic character setting of Mung Gray River.

The Kingdom of Raging Tide is poor and remote, so there are not many talented people. The high-level magic scrolls that Mung Grey River needs to go to sea have to be prepared by these court magicians.

They had fought a battle with the Silent Night Pirates and lost so badly, and suddenly they said that they used a trick to lure the leader of the pirate group to come alone. This is really illogical.

Although these three court magicians are just workers, this war is likely to involve them. Listen to the noise outside. Is that something that ordinary legends can produce? This combat power is beyond expectations. Munger Gray River is still vague. Who can be at ease?

If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be dangerous for them to participate in the war? The court mage said to Amber Xiu very seriously: "I need an explanation. If not, please forgive me for not being able to participate in this war."

Amber was trying to recall the man's identity and it took her a few seconds to remember.

"Master Sharlock, you asked me why I didn't disclose the details? I would like to ask you why you care so much about the details. Isn't the fact that my plan was successful, and now time is urgent, but you are delaying here, why is that?"

Sharlock frowned. The Mung Gray River in front of him seemed like a different person. Why did these words turn the blame towards him?

Sharlock said excitedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the court mage of the Kingdom of Raging Tide. Everything I do is for the sake of the kingdom."

Amber Xiu sneered and asked, "Last year, you asked the kingdom for a variety of alchemical materials, including devil fungi, Namira rot fungi, fly agaric, bubble grass, etc., totaling nearly 30 tons. Even an alchemy apprentice can use these materials to refine more than 5,000 bottles of paralysis potion and corruption potion, but how much did you give to the kingdom? 1,400 bottles, of which 200 were ordered from you at my own expense."

Paralysis potions are generally used in whaling. Injecting this potion into a hollow special whale harpoon can quickly paralyze the whale and then suffocate it to death. But this potion is very expensive, and if it fails more than three times, it will lose money.

But if the paralyzing potion is not used, the whales in the deep sea will be able to overturn most fishing boats, or drag the fishing boats out of the channel, putting everyone on the boat in danger.

As for the putrefaction agent, once diluted to a certain ratio, it is particularly effective in cleaning barnacles from the bottom of the ship, which are extremely harmful to the hull, but if you dig them out forcefully, they will also damage the bottom of the ship. If you encounter a mutant species, they will spray out highly toxic juice when cleaning, and if it touches a person, he will be seriously ill for several months at the least, or die on the spot at the worst.

Therefore, this kind of corruption potion is needed to kill these barnacles and make them fall off naturally. It is also a potion that the kingdom needs on a daily basis.

These two items alone represent a huge amount of public expenditure.

Sharlock's face flushed immediately, and he could only shout, "You...what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know alchemy or do I know alchemy?!"

Munger Gray River didn't know alchemy, but Amber Xiu did. Amber Xiu was most sensitive to things related to money, so he was particularly concerned about the memory of Munger Gray River secretly spending money to buy paralysis potions. At that time, he wanted to complain that the Kingdom of Rage was being cheated.

I didn't expect this memory would come in handy.

King Fury was also surprised and asked Amber Xiu: "Mung, when did you learn alchemy?"

Amber laughed and said, "I don't know alchemy, but the various magic equipment and potions in the kingdom are too expensive and the production is too low, so I occasionally ask outsiders for relevant information. Although the elves have greatly increased the price of magic materials, even if the transportation cost is added, I still can't figure it out.

"Master Sharlock, if you want details, why don't we calculate it today? Let's go to your magic tower first and let me see how you make potions, how about that?"

Seeing how confident Amber was, Sharlock didn't dare to let him visit his magic tower.

Which alchemist doesn't cheat the client? If he doesn't collect some materials privately, is he still an alchemist? It's just that I thought that few people in the Kingdom of Fury knew alchemy, so I was a little too ruthless.

I don't know when Munger Gray River started to doubt me. We were cooperating well before, but he suddenly changed his attitude. It turns out that those who play politics have dirty hearts. The smiles before must have been fake.

Sharlock didn't dare to comment anymore, while the King of Rage showed a surprised expression and said to Amber: "Mung, you seem to have become a different person. Very good, I was right about you."

The Kingdom of Rage is sorely lacking in this kind of talent. It's not that they can't afford an alchemist, but that they don't have such meticulous talent who can analyze the problem from these clues.

Amberxiu was shocked by the king's words. He wondered if he was being too pretentious.

Just as he was about to hold back, another court wizard stepped forward.

"Why did the topic change to something else, Your Majesty? We are worried about the details of this so-called plan. If there is any accident, it will have a bad impact on the kingdom."

Amber looked at the man and recalled another name: "Master Weinstein, it's still the same reason, the same excuse. Those who say they are doing good for the kingdom, do they really care about the kingdom in their hearts?"

Winston said disdainfully, "Why, have you found any fault with me again? Could it be that the magic scroll I copied for you is inferior? Is there any one that cannot be used?"

Winston is a wizard, and his daily job is to provide magic scrolls to the kingdom.

The wizard copied the scroll using his own magic power, so this cannot be accused of embezzlement of public funds.

However, mage is Amber's main job, so it's easy for him to find the problem.

Amber recalled the memories related to Winston, and then said: "Of course there is nothing wrong with the magic scroll copied by Master Winston, but you asked the kingdom for a lot of talented children, saying that you wanted to train them as wizard apprentices, and then over the years, these apprentices disappeared one by one. You said that they died in magic experiments, but isn't the accident rate of magic experiments too high?"

Winston did not feel guilty at all, and said as a matter of course: "Magic experiments are of course dangerous. I did not give a corresponding report that time. Do you think I killed them? What's the point of this for me?"

"Yes, a wizard of the School of Protection, why would his magic experiments be so dangerous?"

Amber looked at Winston carefully, because at this time he had not found the real reason, but his intuition told him that the death of these magic apprentices was closely related to Winston.

Winston felt uneasy when Amber was looking at him. He now had the same idea as Sharlock. The man in front of him seemed like a different person.

Amber looked for a long time, and then saw something familiar on Winston.

Amber said in a serious tone: "Master Winston, you are not a mage of the School of Protection at all. You are actually a necromancer. Am I right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two court mages couldn't help but take two steps back, away from Winston.

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

Winston's face turned pale and he said excitedly: "What nonsense are you talking about?! You are slandering me!"

It's no wonder that he was so excited. Although the School of Necromancer was also one of the well-known schools of mages, its reputation was really not very good and it was even more despised than the undead.

It's very simple. There is a racial conflict between the living and the undead. But if a living person stands on the side of the undead... do you think this person will be hated even more? Necromancers are different from undead. They are alive and cannot generate dark magic by themselves, so they need to constantly kill living things to refine this power. Undead can lie for decades and do nothing, but if a necromancer does not kill for a period of time, his magic will decline.

Of course, there are also some necromancers who choose to be corpse collectors who do not actively kill. They will spend money to buy fresh corpses as experimental materials. However, the proportion of such necromancers is very low. After all, killing people is much easier, while buying corpses is expensive, troublesome, and unstable.

Even if the Kingdom of Rage is not Ryan, concealing the identity of the Necromancer is still a very serious problem.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Winston said excitedly: "What evidence do you have?! If you can't produce it, I will fight for my honor. I will challenge you to a duel!"

Amber Xiu said confidently, "Why are you so excited? Does a necromancer need proof? People who have been in contact with dark magic for many years cannot hide many things. Your pupils have turned gray, and your body is emitting a rancid smell. Do you think you can cover it up with perfume? The gaps between your nails have been soaked with blood, and nail polish can't cover it... There are too many disguises, but they are all meaningless."

Winston's face turned pale. Amber was right about all these details.

But he continued to argue, "These are just your own fantasies. My eyes are originally gray. The other so-called disguises are just figments of the imagination. There is no evidence at all! I can open the Mage Tower for you to check. Let's see what you can find out!"

He had covered up all traces of the Mage Tower very well, and he didn't want to believe that the other party could find any clues.

But Amber did not think about this at all, and just said to Winston: "Why bother so much, if you still don't accept it, just cast a withering spell on me now.

"Withering is a fourth-ring necromancy spell. Mages from other schools can also cast it, but when a necromancer casts it, the color of Withering is completely different and the power is much stronger. If you have the ability, change all the magic attributes for me."

Amber looked at Winston with disdain. The necromancer pretended to be innocent with a lich, which was just like playing with a beaker in front of the god of alchemy. He had no self-awareness at all.

Winston clenched his fists. He never expected that every word of Amber was to the point. Appearance can be disguised, but magical properties cannot be faked. And withering is the spell that can best show the difference in magical properties. When did this Monger Gray River master spells? He was just pretending before!

After Amber Xiu finished scolding Winston, he looked at the last court mage and asked, "What about you? Do you want to ask about the details of the plan?"

Finally, he hurriedly shook his head. His background was not clean either, and he didn't want to be exposed by Amber Xiu.

Seeing that the three court mages dared not speak anymore, Amber said to the king again: "Your Majesty, time is running out. We must act immediately."

The king's eyes were full of admiration. He was indeed a pillar of the country. It turned out that the Kingdom of Angry Tide had a prime minister who was talented. He really underestimated him before.

The king walked up to Amberxiu, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, evacuate the nearby people immediately, and then let the Raging Tide Legion begin preparations. Mung, everyone will follow your instructions."
