Chapter 455: Kou Tao's Deadly Enemy

If you want to find out a god's preferences, it is actually easier to start with his camp and priesthood.

Bribble Dup is neutral evil, but when he becomes ill, he becomes chaotic evil.

The believers are similar. Although they seem stupid, they are not kind at all. They like to kill and destroy, not just for survival. They like to kill other creatures and dismantle various parts to decorate their homes and build idols.

Another point is that there is almost no moral sense among the Kou Tao fish people, and the social environment is very barbaric.

So, Bribotup won't do anything good, just be a neurotic troublemaker.

But this is of no help in luring Bribodup to leave the Kingdom of God. You can't expect Him to rush out of the Kingdom of God and go crazy after he becomes ill. Ambershu's weaving of fate cannot affect the real gods.

What Amberxiu is most opposed to is doing nothing and waiting for the goddess of fate to bring benefits to him. He is used to choosing his own goals, doing his best to achieve them, and then giving the goddess of fate a chance in the process so that she can provide some help.

Because waiting for good luck often results in waiting for death.

Therefore, Amberxiu did not give up. Since he could not find any flaws in the Kuo Tao Fish Goddess, he could only find a way from his opponent.

After all, the person who knows you best is definitely your enemy.

"I remember reading a book that had a related record."

Ninety percent of books about gods and spirits are just gossip, either written by fans or haters, with a lot of true and false content, making it very difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Therefore, Amber Xiu read most books about gods and spirits as novels, put them aside after reading, and never carried them with him.

So these books were kept by Amber in his hometown.

Amberxiu passed through the teleportation array and arrived at the castle he had not seen for a long time.

At the beginning, Amber was so poor that he only had this castle left. The decoration inside was also very shabby, to the point that he could only use boiled water to entertain guests.

Now that I'm back, this castle has become much more popular.

There were many maids cleaning the castle. When they saw Amberxiu, they were stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully and called Amberxiu "Master".

Amberxiu nodded casually, thinking that Isabel had specially trained these maids, and they would not be like last time when they didn't even recognize the owner of the castle.

But this time he didn't come to reminisce about the past with Isabel. Instead, Amber went straight to the haphazardly placed bookshelves and started searching.

Amber is a bit unkempt by nature, and he doesn't care about details that don't affect the experimental results, so the most common things in this castle are bookshelves.

Amberxiu was used to looking at things and putting them down casually, as long as he didn't throw them on the ground. After all, the lich was immortal and had plenty of time.

The result is that it is now quite difficult to find, and I can only search bit by bit based on my memory.

"Let me think, it seems to be here." Amber looked through the bookshelf and took out an ancient book that looked familiar. "'The Goblin Guards in Ryan's Harem'... Tsk, it's a pity that it's not this one."

Amber Xiu found a lot of unofficial histories on the bookshelf, such as "The Troubles of a Young Drow Elf", "The Eighty-Year-Old Lolita Elf Wife·Part 6", etc. After searching for a long time, he confirmed that this was not the bookshelf. All the novels on it were those supplementary novels, which Amber Xiu collected before he transformed into a lich.

Just as he was about to change his position to look for her, Amberxiu saw Isabel appear in front of him.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time. You finally came back to visit me. I reported to you before that I had slightly renovated the laboratory. Now that you are back, it's a good opportunity to check it out and see if it suits your taste."

After not seeing her for a long time, Isabel seemed much more mature, and her face no longer had the stiffness and nervousness she had as an apprentice.

However, Isabel was still very surprised when she saw Amber.

Amber shook his head. He no longer needed the laboratory in the castle.

"It's all up to you, Isabel. Have you looked at the collection of books I have placed around here?"

Amber's question stunned Isabel for a moment. She looked down at the books on the ground and her face turned red.

"No, no, I...I haven't seen it..."

Isabel's hesitation made Amberxiu feel a little regretful. It seemed that he could not rely on her.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I just came back to find some books."

"Teacher, I don't have anything to do today," Isabel said to Amber Xiu as if she had made up her mind, "I'll help you look for it."

It is of course a good thing to have more people to help. Amber Xiu said, "There are only a few books, including "Chronicles of the Gods", "Memoirs of a Deep Diver", "Conflict of Ocean Gods", and "Atlas of Deep Sea Life".

"Ah?" Isabel was stunned again. Wasn't that the kind of book she was looking for?

Slightly relieved, Isabel followed Amberxiu and carefully helped him search the dusty bookshelves.

Many of the books had been put away for years, and Amber had never read them a second time.

Isabel didn't dare to touch Amber's collection of books, so she kept it there. Carefully brushing off the dust and reading the words on it, Isabel and Amber walked through the entire floor, but still couldn't find the book they wanted.

While going upstairs, Isabel couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are you in any trouble?"

Amber Xiu nodded and said casually: "I was preparing to deal with a shrimp-headed goddess and came back to find some information. Alas, I should have sorted it well at the beginning. It's really troublesome to find it now."

Isabel didn't show any surprise. In her eyes, Amber was almost like an omnipotent god. During this period, the teacher's name spread across the continent and he had become a hero in an epic story.

With such reputation, it is not surprising that he was promoted to a god.

That’s great, but it’s a pity that I can’t always be with Amber Xiu.

Amber noticed Isabel's slight sigh and asked, "What's wrong? What trouble have you encountered recently?"

Isabel now makes a lot of money for Amber every month. The Fountain of Youth, a magical potion, has become Amber's best-selling product, earning more profit than selling undead munitions.

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

This is the little hen that lays golden eggs, so Amberxiu naturally has to care about her.

Isabel hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed to Amber.

"I'm fine. It's my brother. He and I have had a few arguments recently. He wants to do slave business in the Dwarf Kingdom and hopes I can support him."

Amber Xiu said doubtfully: "Slave business? It's not that this thing is not profitable, but it's really not easy to do well. Why did he think of doing this?"

The slave trade can be considered the bloodiest business, but if done well, it not only makes money but also builds relationships among all classes.

But this business is not something that ordinary people can do. First of all, you need official permission to become a "legal" slave owner.

Free people are always precious. If the kingdom wants stability, it is impossible to turn free people into slaves on a large scale, so it is not allowed to turn civilians into slaves at will. Ordinary slaves can be traded for dozens of copper coins, but if free people are sold as slaves, the price will be very high, and the procedures are very complicated. If a free person is forcibly captured, he will generally be severely punished, including but not limited to the whole family being reduced to slavery.

Secondly, you must have enough military force, otherwise how can you capture slaves, transport them, and keep them in captivity?

Then comes the sales channels, who the different slaves should be sold to, and how to sell them quickly to save food. These are all very particular things that ordinary people cannot do.

Raul has probably never been involved in this business before, so it's a bit strange that he suddenly wants to do it.

Isabel explained: "My brother has always wanted to be powerful. In his opinion, being a slave owner can make him feel spiritually satisfied. I wanted to arrange for him to do other work, but he was unwilling. So, we had a quarrel."

Isabel was a little sad. After becoming Amber's student, the relationship between the brother and sister became more and more distant. Raul was willing to enter the lich's territory for her, but today he had a big fight with her over the slave trade.

Isabel couldn't understand her brother's idea. She was almost sold into slavery, so Isabel rejected this industry from the bottom of her heart. Who could have thought that one day her brother would aspire to be a slave owner? "Everyone has their own aspirations. You are all adults. You should decide your own future. Since your brother has this idea, just let him do it. If you don't support him, just ignore him. If he gives up because of such a small matter, then he doesn't like it that much."

Amber Xiu is a very open-minded person. He doesn't care what others think as long as it doesn't affect him.

He didn't have any moral obsession. The slave trade was a tradition in this world since ancient times. Raul was a local, so it was not surprising that he wanted to work in this industry.

Isabel said, "But I think my brother is being influenced by someone else. There's a woman who's been very close to him lately. And my intuition tells me that woman has ulterior motives."

"That's even more normal. You've become successful, famous, rich, and powerful. Raul will also be affected. When a man has money and power, there will naturally be countless women with ulterior motives around him."

Amber Xiu's indifferent attitude made Isabel a little anxious, and she couldn't help asking, "Teacher, I can't just watch my brother being deceived."

"Then use your own method to solve it. Isabel, you are now the most outstanding alchemist among the younger generation. Gustavo Flynn has hinted more than once that he wants to take you as his disciple. Although this old guy is black-hearted, his vision in alchemy is much better than mine. Isabel, don't think of yourself as a helpless little girl anymore. This little problem shouldn't stump you."

While Isabel was lost in thought, Amber suddenly walked quickly to a bookshelf and took out a thick ancient book.

"The Atlas of Deep Sea Life, finally found."

Amber happily turned the pages of the book and quickly found the relevant content about the Kuo Tao fishmen. Amber quickly read the text above, and after reading the content he already knew, he finally found this paragraph.

"During the heyday of the Mind Flayer Empire, a large number of Kuo-Toa were enslaved and used as slaves and food. According to the author's research, there were no records of Kuo-Toa goddesses during the existence of the Mind Flayer Empire. It is suspected that the birth of this deity is related to the enslavement of Kuo-Toa in the past."

Amberxiu laughed, he finally found the biggest enemy of the Kuo Tao fish-man goddess.
