Chapter 271: Betrayed Everyone

Amberhout crushed several simulated souls, and the pure soul power seeped into the hourglass, replenishing the power of the sleeping Arthur Lane.

The essence of a heroic spirit is a soul in a special state. The reason why its power is difficult to recover is actually largely because its soul energy is scarce.

The heroic spirit does not have the ability to recover by devouring souls, and only Amber can control this power to recover Arthur Lane.

James Watson watched Amberhau turn a pile of materials into blank souls and couldn't help but say, "Is that how you got those life boxes? I was doubting it at the time. You can't massacre hundreds of thousands of people without any news."

Amber Xiu cursed: "Massacre hundreds of thousands of people? What a psycho! If I had killed so many people, the Alchemy City would have killed me long ago. Without the population, who would serve those alchemists as slaves?"

This is also one of the reasons why James Watson was willing to issue a pardon to Amber.

This lich can create blank souls, so he doesn't necessarily have to slaughter living people to create a life box like other liches, and his sins are likely to be smaller.

Arthur Ryan's spirit emerged and said strangely: "I feel much better, more comfortable than I have been sleeping for a few days."

Amber Xiu said bluntly: "That is naturally my credit."

Make the Holy King's presence more felt. Amberxiu likes Arthur Ryan's character very much, and they don't have to become enemies when they meet again in the future.

After seeing the spirit of Arthur Lane, James Watson was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then knelt in front of Arthur Lane.

"His Majesty……"

After just two words, James Watson choked up and couldn't say another word.

He buried his head deep in the ground, tears already dripping uncontrollably.

James Watson grew up listening to the deeds of this holy king, the greatest hero and the greatest emperor of Lane. The reason why James Watson became Lane's supreme judge was because he regarded Arthur Lane as his idol since he was a child, and he held himself to the most stringent standards in everything he said and did.

Now, he finally met this great man. Although it was only his spirit, his appearance was exactly the same as the statue. James Watson was so excited that he shed tears.

When James Watson knelt down, Amber adjusted his position, then took out the memory crystal and captured the scene in front of him, as if James Watson was kneeling down to him.

This is a precious image of Ryan's Supreme Judgment kneeling to him. If they encounter this on the battlefield, they can play it directly in front of the two armies, making the people of Ryan think that their Supreme Judgment had already betrayed them. Maybe they will win without fighting then.

Before James Watson raised his head, Amber put away the memory crystal and returned to his original position.

James Watson's attention was all on Arthur Lane, and he didn't notice Amber's little movements at all.

"Your Majesty, I never thought I would be able to see you in person in my lifetime. I am so lucky."

Although James Watson had calmed down a little, his tone was still quite excited.

Arthur Ryan only felt embarrassed. The old man in front of him looked much older than him. Being knelt down by such a person, Arthur Ryan just felt uncomfortable all over.

"Old man, you are mistaken. I am not your Majesty. I am just a heroic spirit who possesses some of his memories. The person you worship is not me."

It took Arthur Lane a long time to calm James Watson down, but the title of His Majesty could not be changed.

This time, Amberxiu did not leave any private space for the two. He decisively chose to move away a little bit and eavesdrop on their conversation openly.

James Watson knew that he had no way to deal with this lich and could only pretend that he didn't exist.

"Your Majesty, I am here to welcome you back home. The empire needs your guidance."

James Watson's first priority is to send this heroic spirit back to Ryan and never let him stay in the hands of this lich.

However, Arthur Lane said: "Although I have always heard people say that Lane is the empire I built, I really don't have any real feelings about this country. You are from Lane, so let me ask you a question, why is there such serious racial discrimination in Lane?"

When Amber Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but want to clap his hands. This was what he had been waiting for.

See how you Ryans explain this to Arthur Lane.

James Watson was totally unprepared, and he didn't even understand why Arthur Lane asked this question.

"Your Majesty, darkness and light cannot coexist. The undead are a distorted form of death. Liches need to slaughter humans to create life boxes. Zombies like to devour the flesh and blood of living people. Even the lowest level skeletons have extreme hatred for living things. Ryan wants to protect humans, so he must naturally be the enemy of the undead."

After saying this, James Watson glared at Amberxiu, suspecting that this undead was stirring up trouble for their Holy King.

James Watson thought he had explained it clearly, but Arthur Ryan said, "Did you know that among the companions who fought with me against the Dragon Tyrant, three of them were undead? Two of them even blocked the pursuit of the dragon for me, and in the end their souls were shattered."

"Ah? This...is not recorded in history books."

James Watson's eyes widened. He had never heard of this before.

Arthur Ryan frowned and asked curiously, "Then what do your history books record?"

"The book records that Your Majesty was brave and invincible, and that you killed the dragon tyrant and restored human freedom. As for the others, I only know that the Elf King of Silvermoon High Court was once your companion. As for the others, there is no detailed record, only that dozens of heroes sacrificed their lives..."

James Watson's voice became quieter as he spoke.

He was not a historian and had never thought there was anything wrong with such records.

But now that I think about it, something is definitely wrong.

Why didn't the heroes who fought against the dragon tyrant have a name? Even the Elf King didn't mention it in detail, but he was given a name because he was still alive.

Arthur Ryan said with a sad face: "If this is the country I built, then I betrayed them."

During the reign of the dragon, all intelligent races were slaves of the dragon. The journey Arthur Ryan had taken was paved with their lives, and it was the sacrifice of everyone that brought him to the dragon.

So, the Ryan Empire is extremely racist?

This is the cruelest betrayal! "Let's not talk about the undead for now, what about the orcs and dwarves? I heard that you are not only targeting the undead, but have you also invaded the dwarf kingdom and the orc kingdom?"

Arthur Lane's tone became excited.

James Watson hesitated for a moment, then said, "Orcs and dwarves... we have always been enemies. Over the years, we have attacked each other, and it is no longer clear who invaded whom first."

More than a thousand years have passed, and James Watson is only in his sixties. Before he was born, Ryan had already started wars everywhere and seemed to have hatred with all his neighbors. The specific reasons are no longer clear.

Arthur Ryan said puzzledly: "What happened to make you Ryan people become the second dragon tyrant?"

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

James Watson said quickly: "Your Majesty, it's not that serious. At least we have always been good to humans, otherwise Ryan would not be able to gather such a strong national strength."

"The Dragon Tyrant was also very good to the dragon race, but this was based on the enslavement of other races." Arthur Ryan raised his voice and questioned James Watson: "Tell me, are there slaves in the Ryan Empire?"

James Watson replied with shame, "Not much, but it's there."

"Are these slaves human?" Arthur Lane continued to ask.

James Watson lowered his head and dared not answer, or even look him in the face. Ryan abolished slavery, but only for humans. Many dangerous and hard jobs were assigned to slaves of other races, and dwarf and orc prisoners of war were particularly suitable for these jobs.

Arthur Lane got the answer from his silence. He said sadly: "What did I do later? Why did my country become like this?!"

Amber Xiu suddenly said at this time: "According to my research, the problem occurred after Arthur Ryan's death. When the Holy King was in power, the Ryan Empire got along very well with other races. Not only did it help other races to establish their own kingdoms, but when they encountered natural disasters or man-made disasters, everyone would work together to overcome them.

“There was no racial discrimination in Ryan at that time, and there were other races settled in the country.”

Arthur Lane heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and asked: "Really? You are not lying to me?"

Amber was a little puzzled. He had talked to Heki Stone and the old Elf King, but didn't they tell Arthur Ryan these details? Come to think of it, he couldn't tell Arthur Ryan, "Your descendants fought with other races at your funeral and almost scattered your ashes."

This would make Arthur Lane very painful.

It is estimated that Heki Stone only asked questions related to the era of the Dragon Tyrant, and only briefly mentioned the events after Ryan founded the country, without going into any details. The old Elf King probably spent most of his time reminiscing about the good and bad times with Arthur Ryan, and before he could talk about the rest of the story, Arthur Ryan fell into a deep sleep.

Therefore, Arthur Lane only knew Ryan's general condition, such as racial discrimination, extreme militancy and so on, but the specific details were not very clear.

Amberxiu moved out a pile of parchments and ancient books from his private space. These were some of the information he had asked for from Hecky Stone. He had originally planned to study them himself, but he just didn't have the time.

Now, it is a good opportunity to prove his statement.

Arthur Lane was not a book lover. After flipping through the book, he found that he could not understand it at all and had to ask Amber to help explain it.

Ambershoe quoted scriptures according to what Herky Stone said, which made Arthur Lane completely convinced.

James Watson looked at Amberxiu in surprise. This lich even studied history? He was also convinced by Amberxiu. It seemed that the problems of the Ryan Empire occurred after Arthur Ryan's death.

And the key turning point is Arthur Lane's funeral.

"There is a story among the elves that after the king died, demons surrounded his body and wanted to tear off a piece and swallow it. The king's wife sacrificed herself and drove away all the demons. This is talking about the mysterious funeral."

James Watson said: "This story is outrageous. How could His Majesty's funeral be so chaotic? What kind of demon dares to appear in Ryan?"

"Then I don't know, but we can ask someone who knows the inside story," said Amber Xiu.

"Someone who knows the inside story? Who are you talking about?" James Watson felt that he could not keep up with Amber's thinking.

Amber explained, "Of course, why is this story only spread among the elves? Because it was the elves who made up this story. Who is most likely to have made up this story? Of course it is Hildas Terra, the old elf king who has lived from the dragon era to the present. Everything points to him, so we just need to ask him to find out the truth."

Arthur Lane said in surprise: "Hildas? Why didn't he tell me about this?"

Amberxiu did not answer, but walked to the door and opened it. The old Elf King was standing outside the door.

Amber said to the old Elf King: "You have been eavesdropping for so long, isn't it time to tell us the truth? Next time, don't eavesdrop in front of the lich. We don't rely on our eyes. Your life breath is so obvious that I can't help but notice it."
