Chapter 496 The Arrangement of the Goddess of Destiny
What happens in youth often affects one's entire life, and the elves are no exception.
Aldarian was originally a naive, kind-hearted boy with a little traditional elven pride.
But he was unfortunately met Amber Xiu in his childhood. This man who could have become his best friend gave him the most unforgettable experience of being deceived in his life.
From that day on, Aldarian knew his own weakness.
The elves embody all the beauty in the world, but facing this dangerous world, beauty alone is far from enough.
Hundreds of years later, Aldarian became better than most elves, but also more cold and resolute.
He was more accustomed to thinking about issues from the perspective of the entire elf race.
When the demon addiction disease first broke out, Aldarian had suggested to Catherine that she should abandon half of the patients in exchange for the protection of the elven gods. This was the choice that best served the overall interests of the elves.
Unfortunately, Catherine didn't listen to him.
Although the ending was not bad, Aldarian knew very well that it was not because Catherine made the right choice, but because of the protection of the elven gods. It was the gods who gave the elves a new life through the lich.
No matter how much Aldarian loved his sister, he knew very well that Catherine was an unqualified elven queen.
After Aldarian inherited the position of Elf King, the lich Amberthus became his biggest enemy. Others were thinking about how to cooperate with this lich, or how to kill this lich, but Aldarian thought further.
He was thinking about what changes this lich could bring to the world, which changes would be caused by the lich's change in attitude, and which changes would not be affected by personal choice.
Apparently, the lich's greed is as eternal as the sun's rise.
What he said before was actually just bargaining words. The revival of the dragon is a bad thing for all races. It is difficult and unnecessary for the elves to remain unaffected.
Just as Amberxiu said, if we don't destroy the magic dragon when it has no help, do we really have to wait until the magic dragon recalls the dragon clan to rebuild the empire before waiting for him to come and attack?
But bargaining is necessary. We can't wait for the elves to give everything and only get a few high-sounding words of thanks in the end. The benefits must be obtained.
Aldarian could see that as long as Amber could reveal the dragon's identity, Ryan was destined to decline, regardless of whether he could kill the dragon in the end.
If that's the case, then why can't the elves get a share of the benefits? Amber looked at the young Elf King and confirmed once again that this man was different from other elves. This guy was not only good-looking, but also had the "profit first" spirit that other elves did not have.
And Amber hates this kind of people the most.
You elves are good-looking and rich, born with magical talents and artistic temperament, long-lived and healthy. You have all the advantages. How can other races survive without being a little stupid? Do you have to charge money for such a great cause as defeating the dragon?
"Ryan hasn't even collapsed yet, and you're already thinking about dividing the money!"
"You are still the same!"
Amberxiu tried and found that the Elf King was unmoved and insisted that Amberxiu give up some of his interests.
Helplessly, Amber Xiu could only make a promise that he would talk to the elves about Ryan's problem after the plan was successful, and Amber Xiu promised not to take all the benefits for himself. As for the final share, it depends on how much Ryan has left after this collapse.
Aldarian also knew that this promise was ambiguous, but he also understood that this was the only promise that Amber could make. As he said, there was no point in talking about these things until the dragon was dealt with.
Aldarian asked, "What is your complete plan? You can't just invite everyone here and then reveal the dragon's identity, right?"
Amber Xiu nodded and said, "It's actually not that complicated. You don't really think that the strong men from all the countries gathered together, plus a large number of elite troops, can't defeat a demon dragon, right?"
Aldarian was not as confident as Amberthau, and frowned and asked, "How many people will be killed or injured?"
Unlike other races, the elves live too long, and the heroes who have fought against the dragon are still alive. Aldarian understands the power of the Time Dragon better than others. This is an opponent that can only be defeated if human lives are piled up.
Amber shook his head and said, "It is impossible to defeat the dragon without sacrifice."
They had practiced this many times in their synesthesia dreams. The dragon was stronger than ever before, but it was impossible for it to be the enemy of the entire world. As for how many people would die in the end, Amber was unable to judge.
But if you think you can solve the problem of the Dragon Tyrant without any deaths from the beginning, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
"I let Catherine know about this in advance so that you elves can be prepared. When the battle begins, my friends will have a better chance of survival."
Aldarian looked at Amberth in surprise and said in astonishment: "My Lord, I don't know whether to say you are cruel or kind."
Amber said proudly: "You can save the option of being cold and ruthless. Now people outside call me the benevolent lich who saved the world."
Aldarian looked at Amber with disdain, and then said: "The point is not here. Have you ever thought that the magic dragon's winning rate is not high, but with the power of the time dragon, it is still very easy to escape."
Amber Xiu said proudly: "That's perfect. Once the Demon Dragon's identity is exposed and he finally chooses to escape, the bet between the Lord of Dawn and the Dragon Gods should be over. The Demon Dragon can no longer parasitize the Ryan Empire, and the brutal rule of the Dragon Clan is overthrown. The Lord of Dawn should have won this bet.
"At that time, the Lord of Dawn will no longer be restricted and can explain the truth to the people of Ryan and grant oracles. At that time, it will naturally be the Lord of Dawn who will solve the problem of the dragon. After all, Ryan is the first to bear the brunt of it."
Aldarian said: "You really don't take the Dragon Gods seriously? The Lord of Dawn may have won, but it is not difficult for the Dragon Gods to cause trouble for you."
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "I helped the overseas dragons solve the problem of food. Why do they want to deal with me? Are they so unreasonable? Besides, even if the dragon gods want to cause trouble for me, I am not afraid."
Tiamat, the dragon goddess, is also one of the dragon gods. The soul bank of hell is about to be opened, and Tiamat will do everything she can to protect her own soul.
Amber has already considered all the consequences, and with the lich's ability to survive, there won't be any problems this time. If he is forced into a corner, he will dive into the sea and lie in a trench, and the dragon will never be able to find him.
Although Aldarian despised Ambersh's methods, he still recognized the feasibility of this shameless plan. The elves just needed to be prepared not to be dragged down as scapegoats. As for whether people in other kingdoms would die, that was not a problem that the Elf King needed to consider.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"You have indeed thought of everything, but there is one last question."
Aldarian took two steps closer, grabbed Amber's wrist and asked, "Have you ever thought that your greatest strength is that you can do anything to make money, but this is also your greatest weakness. What if the dragon offers enough chips? A greedy lich like you, will you really sell out others for money?"
Amber Xiu laughed and did not argue. It was about the obsession of the undead, and no matter how Amber Xiu promised, it was useless, because he knew very well that if the dragon could come up with more valuable chips, he would definitely rebel.
Therefore, Amber said to Aldarian: "Then you should offer a higher stake to guarantee my loyalty, such as giving me all the share from Ryan..."
"Don't even think about it." Aldarian would not be fooled. This dividend would definitely belong to his elves.
However, the young Elf King did not say anything final. Instead, he said to Amber Xiu mysteriously: "However, I can give you something, which is exactly what you need right now."
"I need more money all the time." Amber replied with the same firmness.
Aldarian said: "What you need now is someone who can be your assistant. I just happen to have a suitable candidate here."
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't want any garbage. Don't just find an accountant to cheat me."
"Don't worry, the person I sent to you is definitely suitable for you, because he is a prophecy wizard, and he said there is a prophecy about you."
Prophecy mage?
Prophecy masters are extremely rare in this world.
After hearing what Aldarian said, Amberxiu remembered that a long time ago, when Heki Stone first arrived at the Gold Coin Island, he had mentioned this matter. A prophecy wizard found him, a vampire, and wanted to meet with Amberxiu.
But later he was so busy that Amber Xiu completely forgot about it.
Thinking about it now, Amberxiu quickly took out the Code of the Undead and asked the vampire about it, but he got a reply that made him laugh and cry.
[I don't like humans: I forgot about it too. I was busy writing a book about your kidnapping of the goddess, and I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't reminded me. The prophecy mage has left, leaving a letter saying he was heading to Silvermoon High Court.]
Amber closed the Codex of the Dead and asked Aldarian, "You just said that this prophecy wizard also brought a prophecy about me?"
Aldarian nodded and said, "Yes, and I heard it is very important, but the other party has tried countless ways to pass you by every time, as if fate does not want you to meet."
Amberxiu couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Everything had gone smoothly before, and he thought the goddess of fate was just giving him a wink this time.
The moment he heard the "prophecy", Amber Xiu immediately felt that the sweeping kick of the goddess of fate was finally coming towards him.
