Chapter 231 Harvey's Return
Time flies, and it has been five days since Amber Xiu and Catherine parted ways.
A large new area was excavated in Ambershu's underground city. Fortunately, there was a lot of gold in this area, most of which were daily necessities.
"This underground civilization is really luxurious. They even eat out of golden bowls."
Amber held the golden bowl that was bigger than his head and thought that this was indeed a civilization created by giants. The size of each utensil was amazing.
But giants are good, because it is because of giants that we have such a big rice bowl. It would be better if it were bigger so that we can harvest more gold.
Amberxiu commanded the alien skeleton to continue digging. It felt great to keep digging out gold.
However, his enjoyment was soon interrupted by someone.
In the dark dungeon, three shadows are approaching.
Amber Xiu sensed the other party's presence and went to meet him.
The one walking in front holding a torch was Harvey who looked disheveled. The two behind him were the puppet Hastings and the mercury-looking Harris.
The bruises on Harvey's eyes hadn't completely disappeared, but when he saw Amber, he smiled and said, "Teacher, I'm back."
Hastings body trembled when he heard this.
He is truly the master's student. I was too harsh on him.
Amber Xiu asked in confusion: "How did you three get together?"
Amber knew that Harvey was able to survive, but he really didn't know how these three had gotten together in the past few days.
Harvey said awkwardly: "Teacher, can you let me take a break first?"
Harvey was in a particularly miserable state at this moment. His wizard robe was covered in mud and sand, and he had several wounds on his body. Although they had been bandaged, he was indeed very weak.
Amber gave Harvey a healing spell and said, "Come with me."
Leading the three people back to his laboratory, Amber handed Harvey several bottles of medicine, some for treatment and some for recovery. After he drank them all, Harvey's face finally regained its rosy complexion.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Amber asked.
Before Harvey could speak, Hastings spoke first, "Master, this is what happened. Hares and I were trying to save up money to cross the death line and cause trouble for the Holy Knights, but we met your student. Harvey was very generous. He knew that we had some trouble with money, so he agreed to help us complete a commission with a high bounty. In the end, the commission was completed, but he suffered a minor injury."
Hares in the mercury state said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, we see that he is injured, of course we can't just focus on our own mission, he is your student, so we should give priority to bringing him back. Now that we have sent him to you, our master, we should continue our mission. Brother, let's go."
The two brothers, in unison, prepared to leave the laboratory.
Amber Xiu sneered and said, "You lied to me, you have to practice for another five hundred years, stand aside."
The two brothers didn't dare to say anything and quickly stood in the corner, motionless, looking like they were just decorations.
Harvey saw the two people's well-behaved appearance and thought he was seeing things. These two guys didn't treat him like this before. As expected, the teacher is still good. The teacher can easily solve the problems that the students can't handle.
Amber turned his skull face towards Harvey, the fire of his soul burning fiercely, looking a little scary.
But Harvey was already used to it, so he carefully told Amber what had happened in the past few days.
Harvey was deceived by the two brothers and was beaten. Fortunately, he said Amber's other name at the critical moment and revealed his identity as a lich, which made the two brothers let him go.
Although they were still skeptical, as Harvey revealed more information about Amber, the two brothers had to believe his identity.
Harris and Hastings are high-level undead created by Amberhu, and can be said to be Amberhu's slaves, while Harvey is Amberhu's student. The difference between their identities is obvious.
Harvey has already determined that everything is arranged by fate. He is about to die, so he doesn't bother with the two brothers. So he lets them take him to "complete" the task of defeating the sand lizard.
The two brothers didn't understand why he was interested in such a dangerous mission, but they didn't dare to disobey Harvey's order. The three of them formed a team and went to the cave where the sand lizards appeared, and as expected, they encountered a sudden attack by the sand lizards.
The terrifying sand lizard swallowed Harvey into its stomach and chewed him a few times.
Harvey thought that his destined death was about to come, but after he closed his eyes and waited for death for a while, he heard a crackling sound.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sand lizard was torn apart by Hastings' fist. It was not a sand lizard at all, but just a pile of bones.
Although Harvey had many wounds on his body, the damage caused by these low-level undead was very ordinary and far from being fatal.
Harvey couldn't understand why the deaths in the prophecy would be unexpected.
"At that time, I doubted whether fate could be changed," Harvey said to Amber.
"What now?" Amber asked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Harvey smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't understand at first, but then I figured it out. Teacher, you saved me, right? Although I don't know what method you used, I guess you went back to the past and forged this prophecy, perfectly recreating everything I experienced. Only in this way can I not die in the prophecy, because it was originally false."
Harvey really couldn't figure it out at first, but when he looked closely at the skeleton sand lizard and saw the strange shape composed of various bones, Harvey knew that it was the work of Amberxiu.
There must be more than one lich on this continent, but Amberxiu should be the only one who can create this kind of alien skeleton.
Thinking of this, Harvey understood everything.
Amber Xiu had to admit that Harvey was really talented in the prophecy school. He figured it out in just a few days? This method of circumventing the bug took Amber Xiu decades to think of.
"You kid... are too smart. Alas, when you understand this logic, you can't be saved a second time." Amberxiu didn't intend to tell Harvey from the beginning. As long as Harvey didn't know, Amberxiu could save him a second and third time.
Who would have thought that this kid would figure it out on his own.
Harvey seemed to have expected this, and instead comforted Amber Xiu, saying, "It's okay. If fate really makes me meet my own death again, I believe you won't be able to save me a second time. After all, fate is not so easy to negotiate."
This is indeed well said. The goddess of fate probably won't let Amber Shocker bug twice, but what if? As long as it's not 100% certain, there is always hope.
And now, hope is gone.
Harvey went on to say, "Teacher, don't worry too much. Maybe one day, my student will also encounter the same situation. If I don't figure it out, won't I just have to watch him die? But now, I have a way to save him. Thank you, teacher, you not only saved my life, but also gave me the power to save others."
This is exactly the problem with the school of prophecy. Only the prophecy mages who are not smart enough can be saved, and the way to save them is to sacrifice a smarter prophecy mages.
Amber Xiu said disdainfully: "With your level, you still want to accept students?"
Harvey said nonchalantly, "So I'm back now, right? Teacher, I want to continue learning from you."
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "I was waiting for you to say that. From now on, you can only work for me for free until you pay back the 180 million gold coins you owe me."
Harvey was smiling just now, but he couldn't help asking after hearing this: "One hundred and eighty million? Where did you get this number?"
Amber Xiu said coldly: "Do you think you can go back to the past without paying?! I've already given you zero, don't think it's okay if you can't pay it back, you have to keep working for me even if you die!"
