Chapter 205: Munger Gray River Dies Without a Complete Corpse
Ryan's offensive against the mountain orcs stopped. Although no news was released, everyone who cared about the war guessed the reason.
The terrible Silver Moon Knight is finally dead.
Having lost the strongest paladin of the empire, the arrogant Lion had to stop his invasion. When the orcs learned of this, they launched a full-scale counterattack, and as a result, four of the five cities that Lion had originally occupied returned to the control of the orcs, leaving only the last city, Fang City, firmly guarded by the Lions.
The orcs attacked several times, and had to give up temporarily after leaving behind thousands of corpses of orc warriors.
Ryan occupied the Fang City at the gateway to the mountains, but they lost a Silver Moon Knight. It is unclear whether it is a loss or a gain.
But Amber has made money recently.
After waiting for two days by Naomi's side, Naomi finally woke up from her dream.
As Naomi's master, Amber has sensed her changes.
Before, Naomi was just an ordinary druid girl, with no talent or skills. After she made a contract with Amber, she was forcibly brought to the legendary level by Amber, which was a bit like forcing her to grow too fast. She slept for two days, but actually spent a long time in a dream.
This natural dream can perfectly simulate everything a druid needs. Naomi is also diligent enough. After waking up this time, she is completely reborn.
"Can you transform into a dragon now?" Amber asked.
Naomi nodded. "Although I only tried it in my dream, I am confident that I can do it. Besides, my wounds have healed."
Naomi pointed to her neck. Originally, there was a wound that cut her throat, which was in a state of existence and non-existence. Now, the wound has completely healed, which means that Naomi has integrated the time power at the wound and has completely controlled it.
The hourglass artifact also contributed to this. Amber had no feeling for this artifact, and Catherine was the same, and was completely unable to use it. But when Naomi touched the hourglass, the remaining time power in her body began to resonate with it, allowing Naomi to control this special power more quickly.
Catherine said a little excitedly: "Then let's try it now?!"
Going back to the past is a new and novel experience for the Elf Queen.
Amber Xiu said quickly: "If she turns into a time dragon here, the castle will be blown up. Besides, this is the druid's territory. Who knows what the consequences will be if she uses the ability to go back in time."
Catherine asked, "So you mean it's time to leave?"
Amber nodded. It was indeed time to leave. However, the real trouble was to give an explanation to the Kingdom of Raging Tide.
Mung Gray River has sworn so many evil oaths, it is time for him to be torn to pieces.
After leaving Catherine's tree house castle, Amber returned to the small ravine.
The illusion he created was still playing out very diligently. Amber's instructions to him were to "be in low spirits" and "stay in bed for a long time", and of course to refuse all treatment.
The illusion was performed perfectly. At least Ariel and the druids didn't notice anything wrong. They just thought that the Son of the Storm was not used to the druids' diet. The old man Sales even caught some fish for him to improve his diet.
The effect of this illusion is really powerful. It can be said to be the most outrageous spell that Amber has mastered.
Back in his room, Amber Xiu cast an illusion again and transformed himself into Monger Gray River. But this time he added some extra ingredients to his disguise, making his face look sickly, with a grayish-white face and dark blue blood vessels, anyone who saw it would think something was wrong.
As soon as Amber Xiu went out, he saw Ariel standing outside, fiddling with something in her hand, which looked like some herbs.
Seeing Amber appear, Ariel said in surprise: "Your face...what happened to you?"
Amber Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Looks serious? Haha, there is no mirror here, I can't even see my face."
No matter how stupid Ariel was, she could sense that something was wrong with Amber's tone, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
An Boxiu did not answer this question, but asked: "Your Highness, Princess, you came to Cuimeng Youlin with me this time. You should have learned a lot, right?"
Ariel frowned and began to have a bad feeling. It sounded like a last will.
Seeing that Ariel didn't say anything, Amber continued, "Well, it seems that you won't be willing if I don't tell you the truth. Do you think I have changed a lot in the past few days, as if I have become another person?"
Ariel nodded.
"You are indeed a different person. You are much smarter than before."
Amber Xiu smiled and explained: "People's wisdom is mostly innate. As they gain more knowledge, it will improve a little, but in the end, talent is more important. It's impossible for a person to become smarter than before in just a few days, right?"
Ariel was confused by Amber and asked quickly, "What are you talking about? Did you pay a price to become smarter?"
"Yes, Princess, you guessed it right. I used my life to exchange for the wisdom of these few days. Fortunately, the gods blessed me. Although it was only a few days, I successfully turned the situation around for the kingdom. The Silent Night Pirates are no longer a threat, the Emerald Dream Forest also has the intention to cooperate, and even the elves have exchanged gifts with us. Princess, as long as you continue to adhere to these diplomatic policies, even if the kingdom encounters any danger, it can be turned into safety."
"Wait, what are you talking about? What do you mean by exchanging your own life?!" Ariel was very excited and reached out to grab Amber's arm.
This force made Amber's bones crackle. If it was before, this force would be enough to break the effect of Amber's transformation. But now this real illusion is so effective that even if the bones are broken, it will not be discovered.
Therefore, Amber could perform to his heart's content.
"Your Highness, I can't explain it too clearly, because the one I exchanged with is an unspeakable existence. I can only tell you that I died at sea on the day I failed to ambush the Silent Night Pirates. It was a great being who gave me a chance to use my last moments to serve the kingdom.
"I have been highly appreciated by His Majesty in my life, but I have not made any achievements over the years. Instead, I have caused the kingdom to fall into failure again and again. It was not until I died once that I realized my mistakes. Therefore, I suddenly realized that the previous way of governing the country was wrong, and your ideas are correct."
As Amber Xiu spoke, he started coughing violently, and suddenly a large pool of blood appeared on his palm.
Ariel was stunned, and quickly helped him to a chair, reaching out to heal him with magic. However, as soon as she raised her hand, Ariel cursed fiercely.
She was wearing the bracelet, and casting magic on her would only make her fall into a deep sleep.
Ariel was about to ask the druid to come and help, but was stopped by Amber.
"Your Highness, I don't have much time. You must listen carefully to what I am going to say next and remember everything."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber was so solemn that Ariel could only suppress her anxiety and said to him, "Hurry up and tell me. I'll take you back for treatment after you finish telling me!"
"Your Highness, my life is about to end, but after I disappear, you must not make any noise. Return to the kingdom quietly, do not hold anyone responsible, and do not talk about this matter with the druids. We have finally reached a basic cooperation intention, and we cannot let any accidents affect this cooperation. Moreover, my life and death have nothing to do with the druids, so there is no point in looking for them.
"Secondly, don't investigate the cause of my death. Death does not mean complete extinction. I will find a way to return. But if you want to trace the ins and outs of the matter, you will anger that great being, and I will be tortured.
"Finally, after you return home, pay more attention to those court mages, especially the necromancer. You must keep a close eye on him."
Ariel listened carefully, but her expression became more and more ugly. She couldn't understand what was going on, but she knew that there was nothing she could do now.
"Don't give up. The greatness of the Lord of Storms needs no further explanation. If we pray to him, maybe..."
Amber Xiu interrupted quickly and said, "No, the gods cannot be involved. This is the price I paid for the Kingdom of Rage. If I ask the gods to intervene, all my previous efforts will be in vain. Princess, remember, death is not complete extinction. As long as you do what I say, I still have a chance to return. But if you make a big deal out of it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to come back."
Ariel gnashed her teeth, her heart filled with rage, but she didn't know who to vent her anger on.
The accident came too suddenly and she was completely unprepared.
But Amber did not give her any chance to think. He grabbed Ariel's hands and said excitedly: "Your Highness, I regret not understanding your ideas earlier. I regret that the country has wasted so many resources and manpower. But I am satisfied to be able to change all this before I die.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon, I promise!"
The dark blue blood vessels became more obvious, covering Amber's face like a spider web.
After saying this, his body quickly cracked and then turned into a pile of ashes in front of Ariel.
Ariel's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at the ash on the ground in disbelief.
Really dead? Really died in such an unclear manner?
Amber hid aside and carefully observed Ariel's behavior. The silly girl was at a loss for several minutes, then carefully collected the ashes on the ground, and even dug up the soil and took it away.
Ariel did not make a scene with the druids. Instead, she held the ashes with a nervous look and left quickly with her followers.
Amber looked at Ariel's back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are many loopholes in the scene just now, but as long as Ariel doesn't find out that she is a fake, they should be able to fill in the gaps with their own imagination.
After all, those ashes were real, and they couldn't find any problems no matter how they tested them.
The only possible surprise is the Lord of Storms.
Ariel might ask this god for help, but Mung Grey River is not a devout believer and should go to hell directly. There is no soul of his in the kingdom of the Storm Lord, and it is not so easy to track it down. The Storm Lord will not go to hell to make deals with those lords for such a small matter.
Everything is ready, it's time to leave Cuimeng Forest and start this journey through time.
