Chapter 273 The Lich Who Most Wants Ryan to Become Stronger

When the truth was revealed, James Watson felt that his life had taken a major turn.

Everything I believed in before seemed to be sin disguised as holy light.

Amber's last words made James Watson fall into deep thought. He once thought that it was a divine weapon to protect Ryan, but it turned out to be the prop needed to resurrect the Dragon Tyrant.

If he could change it, James Watson wouldn't mind sending away this dangerous thing called the Dragon Armor.

"Unfortunately, the Dragon Arms belong to the royal family. Even I, the Supreme Judge, have no right to deal with them. This set of artifacts has been hidden deep in the palace. No one except the royal family can touch them."

"Can't you just steal it for me?"

"Then why don't I just rebel?"

"That's fine, let's make an appointment for a time to cooperate with the outside forces."

"You better shut up, lich!"

…

Even though Amber gave James Watson a shocking truth, the Supreme Judge still seemed unwilling to betray Ryan.

In his own words, no matter how corrupt the royal family is, the hundreds of millions of people in Ryan are innocent.

Once James Watson raises the banner of rebellion, Ryan will inevitably fall into division, and other kingdoms will surely take advantage of the situation and rush in. By then, too many people will die.

Even Arthur Ryan's spirit disagreed with such drastic measures, and said that if Amber wanted to use him to split Ryan, he would hide in this hourglass for the rest of his life.

Amber believed that Arthur Lane was telling the truth, and the hero never broke his promise.

Amber sighed and explained: "Why do you all think I'm the bad guy? I'm the one who least wants Ryan to be destroyed."

James Watson said disdainfully: "Do you think we will believe what you said?"

Amber Xiu said with even more disdain: "It's normal for you, a little kid who has been deceived by the descendants of the dragon, to not understand my big picture. I don't blame you."

"Furry kid?!"

James Watson wanted to refute, but when he thought about the fact that Amber was a lich who had lived for hundreds of years, and he was a human who was less than a hundred years old... he had no choice but to bear it.

Amber continued, "You all saw it just now. I can make souls out of ordinary materials. That's how I made my life boxes. Have you discovered the key to the problem?"

Everyone looked at Amber Xiu in surprise. Why was this so important?

Seeing that the three noble men didn't react, Amber Xiu could only continue to explain: "The reason why the undead are so evil is because they crave flesh and souls, right? " "Let's not talk about flesh and blood first. Humans also eat livestock meat. This is not a problem. The undead don't have to eat human flesh. As long as they change to eating livestock meat, it's none of your business whether they eat it raw or not, right?"

James Watson was stunned by these words. He could have refuted them without hesitation as they seemed to make some sense, but after having just experienced a reshaping of his worldview, he was now a little hesitant to express his opinions.

He couldn't help but look at the heroic spirit of Arthur Ryan. Let this Holy King make the judgment.

Arthur Ryan said without hesitation: "Of course. No matter how benevolent the Holy Light is, it cannot forbid people from eating meat."

Amber gave Arthur Lane a thumbs up and praised him, "The Holy King is the Holy King, selfless. Unlike some people, who discriminate against the undead with prejudice."

James Watson was too lazy to refute such remarks. He just wanted to know what Amber Xiugang's "key" was.

James Watson said: "You'd better get to the point quickly. I don't have much time to stay here. I need to get back to Ryan as soon as possible."

"The key point has been made. If the undead change to eating livestock meat, there will be no conflict with humans. Because if they need souls, they can buy them from me. They can obtain souls and flesh without slaughtering humans. What conflict is there between the undead and you?"

James Watson retorted: "They can buy your soul now, why not? Because they are cruel and evil by nature, and they can only feel satisfied by killing living people..."

"Wrong, because living slaves are cheaper."

James Watson was really stunned this time. He never expected this result.

Amber looked at James Watson with disdain and continued, "Of course the undead are naturally cruel and evil, but this has never been the key issue. A very simple example is that humans need laws to restrict their behavior and use punishment and cost to force humans to choose order.

"Even if everyone in Ryan believes in the Lord of Dawn, when have criminals ever disappeared in the country? One of my friends was betrayed and killed by a Ryan many years ago, and eventually became an undead. You should remember the name Gareth, right?"

James Watson kept his mouth shut.

This name will be Ryan's eternal pillar of shame. The process was exactly as Amberxiu said. A power-hungry officer framed his comrades, usurped the other party's credit, and killed Gareth.

Later, Gareth transformed into the Headless Horseman, returned to Ryan and killed all the descendants of that officer.

This incident caused an uproar in Ryan. The legion of paladins they sent out to hunt down the Headless Horseman suffered heavy casualties, and in the end the Headless Horseman escaped.

Later, the headless knight appeared in the Alchemy City, adding new shame to Ryan.

But no matter what the crimes of this undead were, it could not change the fact that he was framed, and the person who framed him was indeed rewarded in Ryan and established his own family.

James Watson could find many excuses, such as that the legion had just surrendered and had not yet completely converted to the Holy Light, or that the mistake at that time had been corrected. Ryan did not conceal this mistake, but chose to help Gareth reveal the truth... But after saying so much, it was meaningless to Gareth.

Whether delayed justice is justice or not is something that needs to be judged by the parties involved. Gareth obviously does not recognize this kind of justice.

James Watson felt more and more confused. How could a priest of light be at a disadvantage in a debate with a lich? Amber continued, "Now you should understand that rules are the key to restricting evil. Everyone has the nature of doing evil, but they only follow the rules because of the restrictions. The same is true for the undead. Even if we are born evil, if we can restrict the behavior of the undead, they will not be much different from humans.

"Lian did a good job. Your strength has greatly restricted the actions of the undead, making it difficult for them to slaughter them at will. But unfortunately, the strength is not enough. In the Alchemy City, a human slave is only a few dozen copper coins, which is just the price of a drink in the tavern. At this price, who would come to me to buy a virtual soul that is close to the price of a silver coin?

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

"The rules are not strong enough, and the cost is lower, so the undead will naturally choose to slaughter humans, just like you humans choose lower-cost materials when doing business. We are no different.

"So now you understand. I most hope that Ryan's rules will cover the entire continent. Then they can only buy souls from me. In this way, you get a group of law-abiding undead, and I get the market. Don't you think this is a win-win situation?"

After Amber Xiu finished speaking, the three people present all showed the same surprised expression. A lich said that he hoped that Lion would become stronger. It was obviously such an irrational thing, but it was so logical when Amber Xiu said it. But this lich's character of being obsessed with money was already known to everyone, so what he said was "really reasonable."

The old Elf King couldn't help but sigh: "Don't come to Silvermoon High Court anymore."

If it happens two more times, I'm afraid the entire kingdom will be bankrupted by him.

Ignoring this little episode, Amber Xiu continued, "So, now you have to understand my position. I hope Ryan will grow stronger, and I don't want you to be divided internally and completely collapse. That will lead to a carnival among the undead, and make my products even harder to sell. But because of this, James, how long can you maintain the unity of Ryan? In your opinion, how long will it take for Ryan to split internally?"

James Watson thought for a moment, then said: "If everything goes well, Ryan can last at least a hundred years. But if there is even a little bit of an accident, I'm afraid collapse is imminent."

The success that James Watson referred to was naturally military success.

If Ryan can absorb half of the dwarf desert and hold the orcs' front line, and if other kingdoms do not attack him, then Ryan may be able to continue to maintain it.

After all, no matter how corrupt the Ryan royal family is, the system established by Arthur Ryan during his lifetime is still effective.

The royal family is not allowed to renew their lives, and power must be divided among the Supreme Judgment and important officials of other departments. It seems that the royal family only has the right to enjoy, but has no way to do whatever they want.

In addition, the top leaders of Ryan are all "righteous people" recognized by the Holy Light, so the strength of this kingdom is not without reason.

However, once the war is lost, many problems will arise.

From the death of the Silver Moon Knight, it can be seen that Ryan's army has already shown signs of degeneration. The death of a hero did not inspire the young people to make progress, but instead made them demoralized. If there are more defeats, this decadent atmosphere will in turn be swept into the country. Once people's hearts are scattered, collapse will come quickly.

"So, I have a suggestion." Amber stood up, as if this was the most important thing he had ever said: "James, go back and get ready. No matter how much you and I don't want Ryan to be destroyed, Ryan's division is inevitable. The sooner you are prepared, the less loss Ryan will suffer."

A lich spoke seriously about Ryan's future, and James Watson felt that the world was crazy. But he still acknowledged what Amber said and responded: "I will definitely be prepared."

"Alas, I think Ryan is not qualified to ask Your Majesty to return now. I will go back and do what I should do. I believe that Ryan in the future will be qualified to make Your Majesty proud."

James Watson felt that he could not stay here any longer and quickly said goodbye to the old Elf King.

Amberxiu did not stop him. Since this man could not produce the magic dragon weapons, there was nothing to talk about. He could not really use gold coins to measure the value of Arthur Ryan's spirit.

The meeting ended with everyone having different thoughts.

When Amber Xiu was alone, he took out the Codex of the Dead and wrote a sentence: [Friends, I just instigated a rebellion against the Supreme Judgment of Lion! ]
