Chapter 373 The Concept God Called Death
Severis did not know Amberthau. He only had a few impressions of this lich: a prophecy wizard, a lich, a member of the Mourning Poetry Society, and he seemed to be an alchemist.
Judging by his stale brain, Amber Xiu is just a small-time character who knows a thing or two.
As for the exile of the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, what Seferis heard was that the leader had sacrificed himself, and Amber was just a middleman who smooth-talked in front of the Grand Duke of Hell.
This lich was once so short of money that he took in his son-in-law and lived on his rent.
Seeing the situation like this, Severis even suspected that the president was so drunk that he allowed such a lich to join the Mourning Poets Society.
If it weren't for the name of the Dead Poets Society, Severis would not think highly of this lich.
Therefore, when Seferis heard Amberxiu say that he wanted to find the best of both worlds, his first reaction was: "Just you?"
But unfortunately, the current dragon clan is not as strong as before, and they dare not offend a powerful organization like the Mourning Poetry Society. Moreover, they came to avenge their daughter, and it is not reasonable to turn friends into enemies.
Seferis sighed deeply, and his huge body turned into an old man in a white robe. He said to Amber, "Then please follow me. I will tell you everything."
At this time, Seferis still didn't know who he had brought into the Dragon Tomb.
Behind his father-in-law's back, Gareth secretly gave Amber a thumbs up.
This brother is really amazing. He can even make up a lie like revenge for Cang Gu. This excuse is so impeccable that even the stubborn old man Seferis has no choice but to accept it.
Amber smiled at Gareth, and took Aige and Melina to catch up with the old man who was walking fast.
It took a full twenty kilometers to walk from the shore to the real dragon tomb.
No wonder Seferis walked so fast, otherwise he would have walked until dark.
It's not because this island is particularly huge, but because the island of sleep is arranged with layers of space mazes. If you take one step forward, you have to take three steps back. If you fly up and drill down, you must follow Severis into it, otherwise you will get lost in this space maze.
Melina walked for a while and couldn't help but use her soul connection to ask Amber Xiu: "Father, is it so troublesome for the dragons to go home by themselves?"
"Silly boy, this old dragon is demonstrating to us. This road is not only a space maze, but also many powerful magic traps. It is telling us that the dragon clan is not to be trifled with, and hopefully it can make us give up the idea of causing trouble."
Melina said doubtfully, "If it's so troublesome, why don't you just say it directly? For the sake of our elders, Uncle Gareth and Aunt Canggu, we can't possibly fight him."
"Because he doesn't just want to protect himself, this old man is still thinking about other dragons. He wants to tell us not to provoke other dragons easily. It's really interesting. Aren't all dragons selfish? Why does this old man care about other dragons so much that he is willing to protect them even if he dies?"
Dragons live alone. In the past, there was only one dragon in each city. Unless they were blood relatives, there was no affection between them. What happened to Seferis that caused him to behave like this? Was it related to the contract?
Amber Xiu became more and more curious.
However, it is good to care about fellow tribesmen, but the most worrying thing is that this old dragon will close the dragon tomb and sleep in it without caring about anything. If he wants to care, it will be equivalent to exposing his weakness.
Amber Xiu was thinking about his inner thoughts, and he picked up a dragon bone vine that he saw on the road. It was an alchemical material worth thousands of gold coins. It would be a waste if he didn't take it. This was already the fifteenth precious magic material that Amber Xiu found on the road. In addition to the dragon bone vine, there were also mushrooms that looked like dragon eggs, broken dragon teeth, etc.
Seferis suddenly stopped and turned to Amberxiu and said, "Don't you know the etiquette of being a guest? It's ok for you to take one or two dragon bone vines, but you put everything you saw on the road into your pocket. Aren't you going too far?!"
Amber Xiu showed a surprised expression and said to Seferis, "Ah? Is this already the Dragon Tomb? Sorry, Lord Seferis, we have been walking for a long time, I thought we were still on the road. Sorry, sorry, I thought it was just growing on the side of the road, so I just picked up some garbage you don't want, but I didn't expect it to be something from your home."
Although he said sorry, Amberxiu had no intention of taking out the things.
Seferis was so angry at Amberxiu that his face turned black. He originally wanted to walk a few more laps to let them see the huge magic circle of the Dragon Tomb, but he didn't expect Amberxiu to protest in this way.
Although these things were insignificant compared to the entire Dragon Tomb, Seferis knew that he could no longer take a detour. This guy really dared to "pick up" things along the way.
This lich is so insidious!
Seferis waved his hand and opened a passage, and the originally distorted and changing space instantly became a smooth path.
This time, Amber finally saw the appearance of the dragon tomb clearly.
This is simply... simply a mass grave!
Countless dragon skeletons covered the visible ground, and huge dark magic power floated in the air. There was no need for anyone to control it. This place naturally turned into a horrible burial ground that no one was allowed to approach.
The dark magic that was born from death seemed to have life. Amber tried to sense and control it, but found that the dark magic actively avoided his perception.
It was clearly dark magic, but Amber was unable to control it and couldn't even extract a trace of it.
Not only Amberxiu, but Aige and Melina also felt this, and both of them behaved a little unnaturally.
This feeling is so strange, it's like there is a feast in front of you, but when you want to eat it, it runs away. This weird feeling makes the undead unable to adapt.
Amber Xiu said with emotion: "It's really interesting. The dark magic in the dragon tomb seems to have something extra that outsiders can't use."
Seferis laughed and said to Amber, "We dragons certainly have some abilities of our own. Otherwise, how can we survive in this cruel ocean?"
Amber asked, "Do you mind if I look around?"
Seferis said casually, "Whatever. However, if you want to explore the secrets of the Dragon Tomb, I advise you to save your energy. This is not knowledge that mortals can understand."
After hearing this, Amber was slightly stunned.
Knowledge that is not something that mortals can understand? The soul fire trembled, and Amber once again released his perception, trying to capture the dark magic that kept dodging.
And this time, Amber succeeded.
His perception was successfully covered by a ray of dark magic, and under his control, this power merged into Amber's palm and turned into a layer of bright green light.
"Dark Eclipse Aura?!"
This time it was Seferis's turn to stare with wide eyes! He could sense the process of Amber's spellcasting. Could this lich actually control the dark magic in the dragon tomb? This was...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"An exquisite design!" Amber Xiu said with emotion: "You are extracting geothermal heat to maintain the operation of the magic circle. The death of the dragon is just a trigger... You gather the deaths of countless creatures in the ocean here and directly extract power from the concept of death? You are really bold, aren't you afraid that the gods of death will cause trouble for you?"
Seferis said to Amber in shock: "How did you know that?! This is not knowledge that mortals can master!"
"Haha, I'm familiar with quite a few gods."
Amberxiu smiled. This was really a coincidence. If Leila hadn't shared the knowledge about gods with him, he really wouldn't have been able to understand the truth about this dragon tomb.
If I had to describe it, this dragon tomb is a very weak "concept god", which may not even be considered a weak god, and has no consciousness of its own. But concept gods are concept gods, and they can draw power from the concept of death.
To be specific, it's like the magic circle in the Alchemy City, which can transform Gary Wozniacki into a god-like state, allowing him to use the wish spell countless times.
This dragon tomb is a successful example, but they have erased any possible "god's will" and used the dragon tomb as a tool to continuously provide added dark magic.
"But I'm quite curious, what do you want to do by taking the risk of extracting divine power?" asked Amber Xiu.
The plundering of faith was enough to make the gods hate it, it was like slapping the gods in the face, but to extract power directly from the concept of death? That was like shitting on the gods' heads.
The concept of death...which god controls death now?
Amber suddenly found that he couldn't remember who it was. Melkor, Lord of Bones? Baal, God of Murder? Cyric, Prince of Lies? Or... Many names of gods appeared in Amber's mind, but he suddenly couldn't remember who the important priesthood of death belonged to.
It has been so long that Amber Xiu can't remember the last time he looked up information related to gods. Maybe he got it a little mixed up.
Never mind, this is not important, what is important is what these bone dragons want to do? If you slap a god, at most the god will spit on you, because Io is watching here, but if you shit on the god's head, Io will close his eyes, and the god can fight back at will.
If someone wanted to seize the concept of alchemy, Amber's teacher would not hesitate to use an alchemical bomb to blow all participants to ashes.
It is also for this reason that the "gods" created by the Alchemy City have nothing to do with the concept of alchemy, otherwise this plan would simply not be possible.
The question now is not how the dragons did it, but what on earth are they doing? Why don't the gods of death slap them to death?
Seferis' attitude had changed, and he no longer dared to look down on the lich.
There are no useless members of the Mourning Poets Society; it's just that they have been dead for so long that even their thoughts have begun to decay.
At this moment, Seferis even thought about silencing the witness.
But how can the lich silence the witnesses? If he takes action himself, his son-in-law may not help him. And if Gareth tries to stop him, even if Seferis uses the power of the entire Dragon Tomb, he may not be able to kill Ambershu. This is not to mention the owner of the Silent Night Sea and the mysterious undead girl.
Since silencing is impossible, Severis can only say to Amber: "I shouldn't have brought you in. But now I think it must be fate. We have a lot to talk about now. The contract signed by the dragons, the choice brought by the Githyanki, and the secret of the dragon tomb. Which one do you want to talk about first?"
Amber said: "Of course we should get down to business first. Let's talk about the content of the contract."
Seferis replied, "The content of the contract is very simple. All living dragons must stay away from the continent and are not allowed to return during their lifetime, otherwise they will become weak and die. The way to cancel it is also very simple, that is to obtain the forgiveness of all the kingdoms on the continent."
