Chapter 295 What a big pot
Amber was shocked by the choice of the withered rose and asked quickly: "Sha'er? Why did you choose Sha'er? You should know that we have tricked her together, right?"
The one who worked the hardest at that time was Amberxiu, followed by Withered Rose. She brought a large army and slaughtered most of the drow elves.
Why would she go to Shar? Isn't that just walking into a trap?
Withered Rose smiled bitterly and said, "Only this goddess would be willing to respond to my wish."
Amberxiu also fell silent. Withered Rose was different from him. He only wanted benefits and could negotiate for any blessing from the gods.
But the Withered Rose wants to destroy Ryan, or at least help her destroy Ryan, a request that few gods are willing to make.
The elves were reluctant to have conflicts with the Lord of Dawn because of the drow elves, and the same went for the other gods.
Only a god like Shar, who was once at the peak but now has fallen to the lowest point, would not fear anything. She has offended many powerful gods, not to mention the Lord of Dawn.
"What price did she offer?" Amberxiu still remembered the last time he discussed business with Shar. The so-called blessing she offered was really worthless. She was so stingy that Amberxiu thought she was a stingy priest.
Withered Rose shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of priesthood I can offer yet, so I don't know what reward I can get in return. But now that you are here, I am not worried anymore."
To be honest, the reason why Withered Rose was so kind to Amber in the past was because she admired his abilities, but now all her words are from the heart.
Withered Rose subconsciously wanted to rely on Ambersu and let him handle these major events.
At that moment, Withered Rose thought she could no longer destroy Ryan, and it was Amber who comforted her and cheered her up. The undead had no emotions and were absolutely rational. They only had strong emotions when facing their own obsessions, as if they were alive again.
When the Withered Rose was at its most vulnerable and most like a living person, Amber appeared, and the relationship between the two changed.
The Withered Rose brought Amber to a huge altar.
Amber recognized it at a glance. This was the summoning altar he had set up. He only needed to sacrifice something that Shar liked in order to summon the dark goddess to come.
Amber sacrificed a broken artifact at that time, which made Shar satisfied.
The Withered Rose had no artifacts to sacrifice, but she had a large number of slaves, and she had not killed all the drow rebels she had captured before.
Hundreds of drow elves were sent to the altar and were soon swallowed up by the huge darkness. Then the darkness condensed into a huge head - Shar's head.
I don't know why this dark goddess seems to like dealing with mortals in this way, with only her head showing and looking down at them, which is quite oppressive.
Withered Rose quickly bowed to show respect to the dark goddess.
No matter which god it is, they are superior to mortals. Even the queen of the Underdark must remain in awe of the gods.
But Amber gently pulled the arm of the Withered Rose and made her stand up straight.
Amber reminded him, "Don't be like this. We are talking about business, not selfless dedication. Don't lose momentum at the beginning."
Gods are a very special kind of existence. They have a strong control over their believers and can punish them at any time. But this is not the case for outsiders. Ambersu does not believe in the Lord of Dawn, so He cannot punish Ambersu.
Being too humble when facing gods is actually an act of suicide, because the more tolerant you are, the more room the gods have to manipulate you.
Amber was always polite to the gods in words, but in reality he was neither humble nor overbearing, so no god could do anything to him. When he met a fearless Rose Spider Queen, he ended up being severely punished by Io.
Therefore, when Shar saw Amberthor, she did not hide her disgust. She would rather see her "good sister" Selune than see this lich.
Shar said in her multi-echoing voice, "You again, lich!"
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "It is my honor to be remembered by you, the goddess."
Shar really wanted to slap the lich to death, but she had seen what happened to the Spider Queen Rose, and she really didn't dare to go against Io's rules.
Shar decided to ignore the annoying lich Amber and turned to ask the Withered Rose: "Tell me, which priesthood do you want to offer?"
Withered Rose learned her lesson this time and did not directly answer Shar's question. Instead, she said, "Dear Dark Goddess, the priesthood is his trophy, and he only gave it to me out of our old friendship. So, everything is up to him."
Shar snorted coldly: "Queen of the Underdark, if you listen to this lich, what kind of queen are you? Just give this kingdom to him."
Withered Rose smiled and said, "Not impossible. After I destroy Ryan, I will give him everything here."
Shar stared at the Withered Rose. She really didn't expect her to say such words. Shar finally understood that the relationship between these two undead was extraordinary.
Amberxiu was not happy at all. He just felt that Withered Rose was much smarter than other women he knew. She spoke in a set way and blocked Shar's words.
As for the entire Underdark... just think about it and you'll know it's impossible. It's just a joke used to mock Shar.
"Lady of the Night, let's not waste our time on probing. I believe your time is valuable, so let's get down to business. I have one priesthood, Corruption and one, Darkness. You can choose one of these two priesthoods. But I also want to hear your offer."
Shar didn't bother to care about the lich's rudeness, and said frankly: "You already know the price. I can increase the power of her dark magic."
Amber Xiu was surprised and said, "No way, no way, do you think this blessing can be compared with any priesthood? Goddess, I thought you were just targeting me, so you deliberately lowered the price when you quoted last time. Now it seems that you didn't deliberately lower the price, but you can only give this little bit."
Everyone understood Amber's subtext - Shar is poor.
Even the Withered Rose was frightened by Amber. Is it really fearless to mock the gods in person?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But thinking about how he had just trapped the Rose Spider Queen half to death, it seemed nothing to mock Shar.
Amber was very effective because Shar couldn't let the word get out.
What if everyone said that He was a poor god? Even if it was true, we couldn't let everyone know.
Unfortunately, she couldn't kill him to silence him. Shar could only snort and say, "Foolish mortal, don't look at the gods with your narrow eyes. There are many things I can bestow, but the two priesthoods of corruption and darkness are not worth that much."
Amber Xiu quickly said: "How is that possible? That is the priesthood that was snatched from the Rose Spider Queen."
"Haha, I am the Dark Goddess. This dark priesthood is of no use to me, just like the scraps removed from a carved gem. The corrupt priesthood is also dispensable to the Rose Spider Queen. Even if a mortal merges with it, it is just a weak divine power and is not very useful at all. If you take out the priesthood of the drow race, I can consider changing to something else."
After hearing this, Amber said with regret: "Is that so? It's such a pity. I have given the drow race to the elves. Goddess, now I am protected by the elven gods. Praise the King of Avandor, and may his glory spread throughout the world."
Shar showed a surprised expression and asked in disbelief: "You gave the god of the drow race to the elves?!"
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "How can I say it's a gift? It's an exchange, in exchange for the protection of the elven gods. Goddess, after I become a god, if you want to cause trouble for me, you will have to face the entire elven pantheon."
Unexpectedly, Shar laughed harshly and said mockingly: "I see, so that's how it is. Fate has already made it clear, and everything is because of you. Damn lich, do you know that you just provoked a war among the gods?"
Amber Xiu was a little confused and asked, "Goddess, I am not your believer. The riddle-like oracle should be left to your believers. If you have anything to say, please speak clearly."
Shar seemed to be in a good mood. She didn't keep Amberxiu in suspense and said directly: "The drow elves are the most important priesthood of Lolth. I got it just to get some benefits. It would be better to re-ally with Lolth. But you gave this priesthood to the elves, and the elven gods accepted your dedication, which means that they want to take the drow elves back."
This makes sense. The elven gods asked Amber to help them in order to reconquer the drow elves.
"But what does this have to do with the war of gods?" asked Amber.
"The biggest problem in taking back the drow elves is not mortals, but Lolth. Corellon accepted this priesthood, which means he wants to settle the previous feud with Lolth. And Lolth is the main god of the dark Seldarine gods. No matter how many intrigues there are between Lolth and her allies, they will unite at this time. The elven pantheon will go to war, and this war will definitely affect many gods, including me.
"Lich, you are indeed a chess piece favored by fate. Rose's priesthood was separated because of you, and you personally handed it to the elves. The war of gods started because of you, and countless gods will fall because of you. But I wonder if you can bear the consequences?"
Withered Rose couldn't help but hold Amber's hand tightly. This news was too terrible. How could a mortal bear the responsibility of provoking a war between gods? But Amber patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. No matter how fierce the fight between gods is, it has nothing to do with us mortals."
After saying that, Amber looked up and said to Shar: "Goddess, please don't use such means of framing me. The war between the elves started because they have an old grudge. The explosive barrel is filled with the explosive called betrayal, and it was the Rose Spider Queen who ignited it. I am not even the fuse. At best, I am a spark of burning. There is a saying in my hometown that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. You can't hold me accountable for any debt."
