Chapter 30 Great Harvest
The hag lay on the ground, laughing until she was almost suffocated, but she was completely unable to get rid of the effect of the laughter spell. It was not until the druids tied up the hag tightly with vines that Amber lifted the spell.
It didn't last long, but the witch's body had been severely damaged. She almost laughed her lungs out, and now her mouth was full of blood and she couldn't even speak.
The druids of the Golden Vine Tribe stood vigilantly in the distance. They did not dare to approach the powerful lich Ambershu, and could only pull Naomi aside to inquire about the whole story.
Naomi naturally would not hide it and told him about how she met Amber in the tavern and how they worked together to rescue people in the sewer.
All the druids found it incredible that a druid would cooperate with the undead. According to Silvanus's deal, the undead, which subverted the balance of nature, should be purified immediately.
But the druids have all seen how powerful Amber is. If they take action now, they will definitely be the ones to die.
Considering that Amber saved them, this time, they will not follow the teachings of the gods.
This is how the druids convince themselves.
Van Jones had a hard time accepting the fact that he was saved by the undead, and then began to teach Naomi a lesson.
Cooperating with the undead doesn't count, and venturing into the sewers can be considered as Naomi's concern for everyone, but her appearance with the statue of Silvanus is a heinous crime.
Van Jones said angrily: "Naomi, how dare you steal the statue! Do you know what the consequences will be? Even if all of us die here, it is not as important as the statue. Once anything goes wrong with this artifact, the entire Golden Vine Tribe will be destroyed!"
Naomi said excitedly: "This is the order of the Great Elder. He asked me to take the statue away!"
Van Jones asked in surprise: "How is it possible? Is the Great Elder crazy?"
Naomi said, "The Great Elder must have seen the future again. Aren't we carrying out this action according to his orders?!"
Van Jones originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but the druid next to him quickly grabbed his arm and looked in the direction of Amberxiu.
Van Jones quickly shut his mouth. This was a tribal secret and it was not appropriate to argue about it now.
Amber Xiu, however, did not pay any attention to these druids. He had just taken several magical equipment from these customers, including enchanted rings, leather armor with natural spells, and a magic shortbow... These things added up to almost 10,000 gold coins.
After receiving the money, Amberxiu lost all interest in this group of druids.
He is now standing in front of Ranger Erha and says to him: "Look, now you are saved, all because of me. In terms of universal reason, I am your savior, right?"
Erha nodded repeatedly. He had wanted to take advantage of the opponent before, but who could have thought that this lich would be so powerful. He was really blinded by his greed to actually target such a big shot.
Erha said excitedly: "Thank you, Master Lich, for your help. I am really grateful."
"I am a lich. What do I need your gratitude for? Let's be practical."
Amber stretched out two fingers and rubbed them gently.
Erha understood this gesture very well, but he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Lich, I am a poor man and I can't afford much money."
"How much can there be?" asked Amber Xiu.
Erha took out his shriveled purse. This was not a space purse. When he opened it, he saw only two gold coins and some scattered copper coins.
"Is that all?" Amber Xiu said dissatisfiedly.
Erha said awkwardly: "Master Lich, my two brothers are poor and we really can't afford more money."
"Is that so?" Amber said helplessly, "Well, I see you have amazing bones, so making a skeleton of you would be useful."
When Erha heard this, he was so scared that his legs went limp. He quickly said, "No, no, no, we have the money, but we don't have it with us. My brother and I can't afford a space money bag, but we have one at home. If you send us back, Master Lich, we will definitely send the money back."
Amber Xiu was slightly satisfied and said to Erha, "Look, I'm not unreasonable. I received 10,000 gold coins and saved six druids. I'll charge you two brothers 2,000 gold coins each as a thank you fee. Isn't that too much?"
Erha counted on his fingers and said, "Master, is there something wrong with the numbers? Six druids cost 10,000 gold coins, which means less than 2,000 gold coins per person."
"Have you ever heard of rounding off?" Amber Xiu asked back.
The soul fire in the skull's eye sockets burned fiercely, as if it was going to turn Erha into a skull in the next second. Erha said quickly: "I've heard it, I've heard it, the master's math is really good."
"Well, not bad, you are a smart man. Come, sign this IOU."
Amberxiu took out a piece of parchment and wrote down the debts owed by Dahei and Erha clearly. Even the interest for delayed payment was listed clearly. It was just a little short of the usury standard stipulated by the Alchemy City.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
No one can find fault with this contract.
Erha signed his name sadly, looked back at his unconscious brother, and said to An Boxiu: "Master Lich, my brother is still unconscious, let me sign for him."
Amber Xiu said, "Why bother?"
A beam of magic light fell on Dahei, and the thief, who had a savoring expression on his face, quickly woke up.
Dahei was in a daze, still shouting: "Goddess? Goddess, where are you?"
But as the effect of the illusion wore off, Dahei began to become dazed. When he saw the witch tied up tightly with vines, he vomited all over the place.
Seeing Dahei's painful expression, Amber Xiu suggested, "I know the spell of forgetfulness. It costs 300 gold coins per use. It guarantees that the specified memory will be accurately deleted without causing any adverse effects. Do you want to try it?"
Dahei signed the contract without hesitation. He would have to sell everything he had to get three thousand gold coins, let alone three hundred. Otherwise, he would suffer from psychological trauma for the rest of his life and might even have permanent functional defects.
Amberxiu collected the contracts with satisfaction. He was not afraid that Dahei and Erha would not pay. He had plenty of ways to squeeze the two thieves’ adventurers dry.
Next, Amber took out the parchment and asked Naomi to draw the location of the slime gathering place on it. Now that the girl has joined the tribe, it is unlikely that she will continue to act with Amber. Naturally, Naomi did not dare to violate the contract, and carefully drew the slime gathering place she knew, and then left with the tribe.
After collecting all the valuables, Amber looked at the dying witch.
The most valuable thing on this trip to the sewers was not the magic equipment or tens of thousands of gold coins, but the ugly monster in front of him.
Amber Xiu walked up to the witch and said very seriously: "Now we all have time to chat. Tell me more about the prophecy of the sewer spirit."
