Chapter 229: Harvey's Death Is Approaching
Catherine frowned and said, "You are so self-righteous. What you said is simply blasphemy."
How can you trade with gods? Isn't this putting gods on an equal footing? This practice is the most typical blasphemy.
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "No, this is definitely not self-righteousness. After going through so many things, I have become more and more clear about my position. The elf gods should also be able to see this, so they gave you the key blessing to help me complete the test of fate. In this case, why not be more generous?"
Hundreds of years ago, Amber was just a meaningless passerby in this world. But after the disappearance of the Alchemy City, he is gradually stepping to the center of the stage of this continent.
It was the first time that Ryan revoked the wanted order for the undead, Silvermoon High Court was saved by Ambershus from the brink of extinction, Alchemy City was sold off by Ambershus, the dream barrier of Emerald Grove was controlled by Ambershus, and in the Kingdom of Wrath of Tide, Ambershus could go back to play Mung Greyriver at any time... Ambershus was walking step by step to the center of the stage, so so many gods extended olive branches to him, and even the elven gods gave him benefits in a roundabout way.
Amber Xiu's role as the protagonist is finally about to be performed. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play the leading role, so naturally he has to use this identity to gain more benefits.
Although Catherine didn't understand where Amber's confidence came from, she still agreed and said, "I will try my best to convey it, but... forget it, even if I say that this will cause punishment from the gods, you won't care, right?"
"It seems that you really know me. Let's go, it's time to go back." said Amber Xiu.
Naomi transformed into a giant silver dragon and then suspended the hourglass artifact in front of the dragon's head.
Silvery-white light poured out from Naomi's body and turned into silk threads that wrapped around the hourglass.
The hourglass turned upside down, and fine sand like starlight fell, and the desert began to change rapidly.
The strong winds stirred up sandstorms, which created a frenzy again and again, and then quickly subsided. In just a few seconds, the yellow sand around rose and fell hundreds of times, and the sun and the moon alternated like wheels, so fast that it was dazzling.
The three of them are quickly traveling through the past few months, returning to the time when they were originally there.
When everything around her calmed down, Naomi fell down again, but this time she only canceled the transformation of the Time Dragon. She looked very tired and did not fall into a complete coma.
Amberxiu gave her a bottle of medicine and asked her to have a good rest in the private space. Then he said to Catherine, "Let's say goodbye here. I hope you can bring me good news when we meet again next time."
After saying this, Amber turned and flew towards Ganlu City.
Catherine stood on the scorching yellow sand and watched Ambershu fly all the way to the end of the horizon.
She didn't know what she was looking at. He was clearly a lich who was greedy for money and kept cheating her. But seeing him leave like this, Catherine felt a little reluctant.
But it was just a little emotion. Catherine quickly summoned her giant eagle and flew in another direction.
Anyway, I am destined to work for him until I cry, and we will definitely meet again.
Amberxiu came to Ganlu City again. Although it was only less than half a day for him, the previous war in this city was several months ago.
Amberxiu took a special look at the "Undead Sand Lizard" he had prepared, and sure enough, it was still lurking underground. It seemed that everything was going well.
Now all Harvey has to do is team up with others to go on an adventure, and then "die" in the mouth of this undead sand lizard.
At this moment, Harvey was in the tavern throwing all his bets on the gambling table.
It doesn't matter what the size is, just throw it with your eyes closed, not caring about winning or losing, just doing it for fun.
The two beauties beside him screamed loudly, even more excited than Harvey.
After following Harvey for two days, the two beauties have made a lot of money. The young wizard in front of them is really young and rich, and he doesn't feel bad about spending money. Harvey picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth. The wine is strong enough. After drinking half a bottle, Harvey is already 70% drunk. In the last stage of life, the most important thing is to be happy.
Just when Harvey was having fun, a strange man wearing a cloak and a mask suddenly walked up to him and asked curiously, "Friend, you are a wizard from the prophecy school, right?"
Harvey looked at this strange man carefully. He was a little too tall, more than two meters. He was wrapped in a linen cloak, which was a common dress for desert people, but his accent was not like that of a desert person. He was also wearing a mask, not even a bit of skin was exposed. He must not be a good person.
Under normal circumstances, Harvey would not want to deal with such people, as it would easily cause trouble. But now that his death was approaching, he would accept any stimulation.
Harvey loosened his arms around the beauty and asked curiously, "Almost no one knows about the prophecy school anymore. How did you figure it out?"
Because it is so difficult to get started, this school is almost becoming an ancient legend.
"Hehe, let me introduce myself first. My name is Hastings, and I'm an adventurer who has just arrived in Ganlu City. I have a commission here, and I need a prophecy mage like you. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Hasting?" Harvey thought about it and had no impression of the name, but his intuition told him that this name had a lot to do with him.
Could it be that they were the "teammates" he had seen in the prophecy? The prophecy Harvey had seen was that he and others would go on an expedition, and then be ambushed by monsters in the cave. After waiting for so long, was the prophecy finally going to come true? Harvey did not try to reject the idea of seeing what would happen. He had no desires and was just waiting for death to come. He did not even think of struggling.
After learning of the prophecy, Harvey spent half a month recording everything he could, and then convinced the "Sawtooth Knife" to release him, the dying man.
The other party didn't believe it at first, but after Harvey accurately predicted the desert weather for several days and helped her catch the traitor in the tribe, Sawtooth Knife finally believed that Harvey could predict the future.
Harvey left everything he had to the orc and began to enjoy the last days of his life.
Now, what is coming will come.
Harvey was about to agree when he heard someone snort coldly, "Don't listen to him. This Hastings specializes in cheating newbies. The commission he accepted is to subjugate the sand lizard, which is a legendary creature, but the commission fee is only three thousand. He can't afford to hire you!"
Harvey looked in the direction of the voice and saw a masked man who was also wrapped in a cloak but was quite short sitting in the corner of the tavern. It was this man who had spoken just now.
Harvey was a little confused. He was ready to accept his fate, so why did someone suddenly appear to stop him from dying? Was he drunk and hallucinating? It was strange, but very interesting.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Harvey wanted to watch the show first, so he asked Hastings, "Really?"
Hastings also said nonchalantly: "Half true, half false, do you think he wanted to save you? Haha, this guy accepted the commission just like me, he just wanted to rob someone."
Harvey looked at the short man and asked, "My friend, what do you say?"
Hastings interrupted directly and said, "I'll pay 100 gold coins. After the commission is completed, we'll split the commission money equally. Hares, let's see how you can compete with me?"
The dwarf named Hares didn't even look at Hastings's challenge. He walked up to Harvey and whispered, "Don't listen to this tall and stupid guy. What's the point of just talking about the price? Don't you know how dangerous this mission is? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been unanswered for so long. My friend, I tell you, I never thought about completing this mission, but even if I can't complete a mission involving legendary creatures, I can charge a 10% commission."
The dwarf Hares took out a black round piece and said to Harvey, "This is a sand lizard scale. After you team up with me, go to that place and take this with you. Then, tell them that we have fought with the sand lizard. Then you can get three hundred gold coins. We will divide the reward slowly. There is no danger at all."
Harvey smiled and said, "Since you can exchange this thing for a bounty, why do you need to go by yourself? Why are you looking for teammates?"
Hares said mysteriously, "You don't understand this, right? If I go to collect the bounty alone, won't others know that I'm faking it? That's a sand lizard, a legendary creature. Who would believe me if I survived the battle alone? I have to find a few teammates and pretend to fight off the sand lizard together. Don't worry, I've found other teammates. Now we just need a mage."
Seeing the two men whispering, Hastings roughly pulled Harvey aside and said excitedly, "Don't listen to this guy, he is a liar. I promise to split the bounty with you. I have a way to deal with the sand lizards, but the chance of success is not high. You are a prophecy wizard, you should know why I am looking for you."
These two people each have their own reasons. One seems to have low risk, but the return is also low, and the other seems to have high risk, but the return is also high.
Harvey didn't care about the danger and the reward. What he cared about was, who would be his final destination? When he died, who would stand by his side? How could he reach the predetermined ending? Harvey thought about it, grabbed the gold coins on the gambling table and said to the two men, "How about this? I'll give you money, and you two can cooperate with me to defeat this sand lizard."
Hastings and Harris were stunned for a moment. They never expected this result, but looking at the glittering gold coins, they immediately agreed.
Harvey happily stuffed the gold coins into their hands and asked, "When do we leave?"
Hastings and Harris said in unison: "Meet at the city gate in two hours."
Harvey was stunned for a moment. Didn't these two have a grudge against each other? How could it be... He subconsciously wanted to use lie detection, but he held back.
It doesn’t matter. It’s all fate. Why bother about these details?
But soon, Harvey began to regret it.
Because he waited at the city gate for five hours, but the two men did not show up.
After a long day of blowing wind, Harvey's alcohol smell finally dissipated. He thought belatedly, "Is this a scam?"
