Chapter 502: Do your best and leave the rest to fate
In Aldarian's opinion, a hundred dragon tyrants are not as scary as the Storm Lord. The scary thing about this god is not only his strength, but also his madman-like mental state.
If this god suddenly becomes interested, he really dares to release the heroic spirits of his own kingdom of God and force everyone to play a deserted island battle royale game with him.
Amber Xiu said innocently, "What does this have to do with me? You also know that he is the Lord of Storms, a high and mighty god. How can I control him? What do you mean I dragged Him into this? It was the Lord of Storms who wanted to do this. What can I do?"
"You think I'll believe it?"
If someone else had said this, Aldarian would have believed it. After all, gods are high above and cannot be controlled by mortals. But it is different for Amberhu.
Aldarian swore that it was definitely a conspiracy designed by him, and the Lord of Storms was just a part of his plan.
"If you don't believe me, you can take this."
Amber handed a ring to Aldarian, which seemed to contain powerful magic.
Aldarian let go of Amberxiu in confusion, took the ring and examined it carefully, then asked in confusion: "Is this a spell to identify lies?"
Amber nodded and said, "Yes, it is a constant lie detection. If someone lies to you, the ring will glow red, otherwise there will be no reaction."
Aldarian asked in confusion: "You are a prophecy mage, why are you giving me this?"
Isn't the spell of detect lies the most popular one among prophecy mages?
"Don't worry, this ring is not a simple thing. It is made by the God of Alchemy and has the highest level of lie detection effect. Not to mention a mortal like me, even gods can't fool the detection of this ring. Oh, except for those with the priesthood of deception."
Amberthau enthusiastically put the ring on Aldarian's finger, and then urged, "Come on, try to ask me questions."
Aldarian was skeptical and asked, "How much of the money that originally belonged to us elves in the drow elves' shipping route business did you put into your own pocket?"
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? When I do business, I always ..."
Before Ambersh had finished speaking, the ring on Aldarian's hand began to glow a bright red.
Aldarian narrowed his eyes and looked at Amber, unable to help but sneer on his face.
Amber Xiu said helplessly: "Well, the food expenses and health check-up expenses of the drow elves were falsely reported, but that was to appease the emotions of the drow elves. We can't really let them work for nothing. This part of the money is regarded as the drow elves' pocket money."
The red light on the ring remains.
Amber: ...
"Well, according to the old rules of doing business, a small portion of this gray income is a kickback to me."
The red light on the ring still did not go out.
Aldarian sneered and said, "A small part? What percentage do you have?"
"I take 70%, but the remaining 30% is really a subsidy to the drow elves."
The red light on the ring slowly went out.
Amber sighed and said, "Why do you have to ask such a tricky question? You might as well ask me if I took advantage of Catherine."
Aldarian said calmly, "You don't have that ability."
A pile of skeletons, when they were alive, we didn't even know whether they were male or female. How stupid would you be to worry about this? And since this lich dared to say so, there was no doubt about it.
Aldarian was not joking with Amberthau, and continued to ask, "Did you really not let the Lord of Storms get involved?"
Amber laughed and said, "Now you are sure that this thing is genuine... Well, I admit that I did guide the Storm Lord's thoughts a little. I just boasted to Him about how important this peace conference is and how it will be recorded in history. When the Storm Lord heard about this, he naturally decided to participate. He couldn't wait to let us mortal politicians witness His greatness."
Aldarian asked again: "What is the purpose of luring the Lord of Storms here?"
"For safety, my friend, and to provide a backup plan for this meeting full of people with their own agenda, I will not only have the Storm Lord hold the wedding at the meeting site, but I will also invite all the gods I know to attend the ceremony. Although they will only come as incarnations, with the presence of these gods, the protagonists of this meeting will be replaced."
"Change people?"
Aldarian frowned and thought for a moment, then nervously said to Amber: "Master Ultraman, your soul can touch the future. Please tell me, did you see the future where our plan failed?"
The original plan was to reveal the identity of the dragon at the meeting, make Ryan the enemy of the emperor, and then unite the forces of all races to kill the resurrected dragon.
The plan sounds very general, and many parts need to be adjusted according to the situation at the time, but as long as the identity of the dragon can be exposed, the rest will not be a problem.
But no matter how the adjustments are made, the gods should not be involved unless the plan changes.
This time, Amber Xiu did not play any word games, but honestly admitted: "I do see a bad future, and this is the solution I prepared."
"Didn't you prophecy wizards say that the future cannot be changed? The worst result has already occurred. Will it be useful even if we bring in the gods?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The future we have seen cannot be changed, but we can try to recover the losses." Amber patted Aldarian on the shoulder and said, "Some people are destined to die, but some can survive, and this is the backup plan I prepared for you. I also guessed that you would come to me, so I hope you can convey my words to the elven gods and ask them to send a god to attend this meeting."
Aldarian finally understood the seriousness of the matter, but the young Elf King still couldn't believe it.
"What went wrong?"
Amber shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to think about this. Go back and get ready. You will know in two months. By the way, I need the support of the elves recently."
"What support?" Aldarian asked puzzledly.
"Some magical materials. I hope you can gather them as soon as possible."
Amber handed over a list, which recorded in detail a large number of magic materials. The quantity of each type was small, but many of them were rare magic materials. Aldarian also had to check the elves' inventory.
Aldarian read the materials carefully with a frown on his face.
He must have seen these materials somewhere before. Among them, several kinds of magic fruits were very special, as if they had been specially cultivated for some ancient magic from the very beginning.
But I just can't remember what kind of magic it is.
"Why do you collect these things?" Aldarian asked curiously.
Amber said as a matter of course: "Of course it is used to deal with the dragon. Is there any need to ask?"
Aldarian saw that the lie-detecting ring had not changed, and was too lazy to ask for details.
Now the elves and the lich are allies in the same boat. Since he doesn't want to elaborate, I won't ask.
Aldarian said, "I will try my best to gather them, but I am afraid I cannot get the elven gods to participate in Talos' wedding. You'd better find another way."
Amber nodded and said, "Then let us do our best and leave the rest to fate."
