Chapter 228: A Message to the Elves
The Lions retreated, and they ran in a rather awkward manner.
When Amberxiu's meteor exploded, they were able to maintain their original formation and their morale was not affected much. But after the Silver Moon Knight vomited blood and fainted, the army was in a panic from top to bottom, and they felt like they were fleeing in panic when they ran away.
If Amber was the commander, he would definitely order a hunt and kill. It would be a big loss if he didn't take the opportunity to teach Ryan a profound lesson.
However, after the Ryan people retreated, Hoffman just breathed a sigh of relief and had no intention of pursuing them at all.
In fact, Hoffman did not appear on the front line during the entire battle. Only after confirming that the Ryan people had retreated did he begin to command the cleanup of the battlefield.
The pension was distributed randomly, and then Hoffman was busy packing up the things left behind by the Ryan people.
This may be the only time the Ryan people were defeated since the war between the two countries, so they left behind a small number of corpses and a large amount of broken equipment, which all looked like useless waste.
But these things are all real achievements.
This is not a waste, it is clearly Hoffman's bright future. He has already thought about it, using this big victory as an excuse, he can
Hoffman has already seen his bright future, and perhaps he won't need to go to the front line in the future.
His thoughts were clearly written on his face, so after An Boxiu discovered this, he decisively said to him: "Sir Hoffman, you don't want people to know that this victory was the result of a passing dragon knight like me, right?"
The two discussed for a long time in the secret room, and boxes of gold were sent to the secret room.
A few hours later, Amber left happily, while Hoffman looked very sad.
In order to ensure that Amber would not compete with him for credit, Hoffman gave all his assets and all the gold reserves in Ganlu City to Amber.
All that needed to be done was done. When the Ryan people retreated, Amberxiu felt that his power of prophecy had been restored, which meant that the test given to him by the goddess of fate had been completed. Amberxiu successfully allowed the fate of the world to develop as it had originally been.
In order to save Harvey by breaking the bug of fate, one must complete an outrageous historical event for fate.
Just like the battle of Ganlu City, if Amber did not take action, the dwarf kingdom would not be able to defend this city. Ganlu City is the most important line of defense after the death line. Once it is lost, the dwarf kingdom will not be able to rely on the death line to resist Ryan and will not be able to continue to keep half of its territory.
Amber Xiu also thought, if he failed, would the Silver Moon Knight vomit blood and faint, and continue to complete this predetermined history?
The goddess of fate will never answer this question, so Amberxiu doesn't bother to care about how many coincidences and destinies there are in the middle. Anyway, this difficult journey back in time has come to an end.
Before leaving Ganlu City, Amber went to see Harvey.
It seemed that the boy was still out of the control of the orcs, but he did not think about escaping. Instead, he found a pile of parchment and notebooks, and was writing furiously with dark circles under his eyes.
Amber remembered what Harvey had said before. If he was going to die the next day, he would not struggle. The only thing he wanted to do was to record his life. It seemed that this guy had accepted his fate and wanted to leave as many traces of himself as possible in the world before he died.
"Haha, if this kid knew he would have to work for me for the rest of his life, I wonder how he would feel."
Ambersu did not rescue Harvey from the sea of suffering, because when he saw Harvey again, he had already solved these troubles himself. Ambersu did not need to worry about him being imprisoned by orcs for life.
It's time to go back.
Amber flew deep into the desert and summoned Naomi in a deserted place.
Although her wings were cut off when she turned into a time dragon, the druid's transformation was so magical that even if the dragon's skin was peeled off and the dragon's head was chopped off, Naomi would be unharmed as long as she canceled the transformation. It would just be a waste of some natural energy.
Naomi has already returned to her human form and is ready to transform into a time dragon again.
But Catherine was a little reluctant to leave. She had not experienced the past well since returning to the past. She was either stuffed into Ambersu's private space or used as a shield by Ambersu. This journey through time did not leave her with any good memories.
"After you go back this time, it's time for you to go back to Silvermoon High Court." Amber said to Catherine.
Catherine asked in confusion: "Why are you kicking me out? Don't you want to give me the 50,000 gold coins?"
Amber Xiu quickly retorted: "Am I that kind of person?"
Catherine didn't say anything, but stared at Amberxiu with her big eyes. She had learned her lesson and didn't want to argue with Amberxiu about obvious facts or give him any chance to quibble.
Amber Xiu felt a little embarrassed when Catherine stared at him. He actually thought about tricking this girl into forgetting the 50,000 gold coins, but this was not the point of getting Catherine to leave.
"You've been traveling with me for so long, it's time to take some time to calm down. Adventure can only increase your memory. Whether it can turn into wisdom depends on whether you have time to think and summarize. Many adventurers can only stay at the bottom of the society for their entire lives, and they don't make any progress in either their skills or wisdom. It's not because they are stupid, but often because they never summarize their experience and keep falling into the same trap."
Amber Xiu's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't have much sincerity, they were indeed sincere.
Catherine had been with him for so long, and her progress was obvious. She used to be a real naive person, but now she was a qualified adventurer. This was a critical moment. If he continued to let Catherine follow him, she would only be in a "learning" state and would not have time to think about what she had learned.
After listening to Amber's explanation, Catherine did not relax at all. Instead, she said doubtfully: "This is not like your style. Would you do something that has no benefit?"
"You have misunderstood me too deeply." Amber sighed, and then said: "After you return to Silvermoon High Court, tell the Elf King that Arthur Ryan's spirit is in my hands."
Catherine immediately shouted, "Don't even think about asking us elves to buy this heroic spirit. It's impossible!"
How much is Arthur Lane's spirit worth?
This is really hard to estimate, but Catherine knew that Amber would dare to offer an outrageous price that would not be enough to sell Silvermoon High Court as a whole.
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "You are not the Queen of Elves anymore. It is not up to you to decide whether the elves buy it or not."
Catherine smiled even brighter than him and retorted, "If I go back to Silvermoon High Court and tell them not to buy it, do you think they will object?"
While staying in Silvermoon High Court, Catherine had no clear understanding of her own charm. Although she was reminded from childhood that she should not show up in public easily, as her beauty would bring her big trouble, Catherine had only heard of this and had never truly experienced it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was not until she went on an adventure with Amber that Catherine realized how terrifying her charm was. If Catherine took the initiative to use her charm, no one in the elves would oppose her.
Amber was stunned by what Catherine said. After a while, he said, "You have become smarter. The tuition is still too low."
This girl knows how to use her strengths and grasp the key points. She has only been here for a few days, but she has made such great progress.
"But don't worry, I don't want to cheat... I don't want to do business with the elves. I guess your Silvermoon High Court can't come up with much money right now. If I want to sell Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit, I'd sell it to Ryan. How much do you think they will pay?" Amber said proudly.
"Why did you sell it to Ryan and ask us elves for help?" Catherine asked curiously.
Amber Xiu explained: "You don't understand this, right? This thing is just an antique, but I, a lich, have no say on whether it is ancient or not. If I say that Arthur Ryan is in my hands, won't the Ryan people just destroy me in the name of blasphemy against their founding emperor? If the former Elf King, Arthur Ryan's partner in the past, speaks up to prove that this is Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit, then it will be different, don't you think?"
This is how traditional scams work. If you put that thing up for sale, no one will pay attention to you, but if someone comes along and praises it to the sky, people will be fooled.
What's more, Amber Xiu doesn't need to brag at all, he just needs to spread the truth.
As for whether Ryan would try to rob it... haha, it's not that Amber is arrogant. After the Silver Moon Knight died, it would be impossible for Ryan to kill him quietly.
As a prophecy wizard, if Amberxiu wanted to escape, only the gods could stop him.
If the people of Ryan dare to rob it, Amber will dare to give the hourglass to the Dragon Clan. I believe that the amount paid by the Dragon Clan will not be much less than that of Ryan.
It would be an injustice to the name Arthur Lane if I didn't extort hundreds of billions from him this time.
Catherine hesitated, then said, "I'll pass it on for you, but I can't guarantee anything."
If it were before, Catherine would not agree to this request. What does Amber's plan to trick Ryan have to do with the elves? As Ryan's ally, she should stop him.
But after seeing Ryan's domineering nature, Catherine had other ideas about this ally.
Ryan became more and more extreme and warlike. He used to target only the undead, demons and other evil things, but gradually even the dwarves and orcs became so-called "aliens". If this continues, one day the elves will be treated the same as the undead.
Amberxiu wanted to use Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit to defraud money, and the elves were just helping to tell the truth. There shouldn't be any problem with this operation. Let's go back and discuss it with the elves' top leaders and see what everyone thinks.
"Okay, it's time to go back. Catherine, when you return to Silvermoon High Court, please convey one more message for me."
"To Silvermoon High Court?"
"To the Elven Gods." Amber Xiu said in a very serious tone: "I know that the war involving the gods will come soon, but I hope the Elven Gods can give me some clues about what form it will take. In exchange, I promise not to stand on the opposite side of the elves in this war."
