Chapter 514: The hero is gone, but the world remains the same

The sky is thundering, and the ground is covered with flowers.

The former Storm Arena was built to please Talos, where the giants would fight to death and eventually disappear from this plane completely.

Now, a huge tombstone was built in the center of the arena, suppressing the huge silver dragon. Flowers were everywhere, and as long as there were people coming to pay tribute, these magical flowers would never wither.

The great Holy King Arthur Ryan sacrificed himself and used his divine power to penetrate the body of the Time Dragon and destroy his soul.

But the body of the Time Dragon did not rot. Instead, it kept flashing and jumping repeatedly at different time points.

This is the power of the Time Dragon. Even if the soul has been annihilated, the body still retains a powerful force of time. Every cell will instinctively control time in an attempt to recover from its injuries.

A big part of the reason why Arthur Ryan used the corpse of the dragon tyrant to make the artifact was because he was worried that the dragon would be resurrected.

Even if you cut these flesh and blood into pieces and burn them into ashes, it is not safe, because the ashes may flicker and regain activity in the next second.

But this time, the Ryan people were not qualified to deal with the more powerful corpse of the Time Dragon.

The troubles caused by the evil dragon armed forces had to be resolved only by their ancestors sacrificing themselves. After the news spread, the people of Ryan were so ashamed that they had no face to show themselves, and a large number of them committed suicide out of shame.

They would not hesitate even if committing suicide means going to hell.

The foolish actions of later generations caused the Holy King to sacrifice himself once again, and this guilt can only be eliminated through the torture of hell.

Allen hurried back after the funeral. Now he is the only one who can replace the Ryan royal family that has lost the support of the people and stabilize the situation in the country.

The orc army was ready to go, but the death of the orc king also had an impact on the orcs themselves. They had to consider whether to elect a new king first or take advantage of the civil strife in Ryan to invade. As a result, no one in the kingdom would submit to anyone else, and discussions turned into fights, resulting in the final opportunity for an attack being missed.

The food shortage could no longer support the army's operations, and the war between the two countries ended hastily.

Finally, after much discussion, the other kingdoms decided not to dissect the dragon's body, but to build a monument on the body at a huge cost of manpower and material resources. The monument clearly recorded the beginning and end of the dragon-slaying battle for future generations to remember.

In addition, this monument is also a huge sealing magic circle.

Its core is another time dragon. Naomi needs to stay here for a long time and use her own strength to absorb and neutralize the remaining time power on the dragon's body.

This process might be very long, but this method was proposed by Naomi. The druids only thought that this little girl was the most staunch believer of Silvanus, who was willing to sacrifice her life for the balance of the world.

Only Catherine understood that Naomi wanted to absorb the dragon's power and then try to resurrect her master.

After the battle, it’s not that no one has tried to use resurrection magic.

For some high-level priests, the intact body of a person who has died not long ago can be brought back to the human world through resurrection. As long as the soul has not fallen into the hands of the Lord of Hell, powerful spells such as perfect resurrection and wish can even snatch people from the Lord of Hell.

But unfortunately, the two heroes who died were unable to use these means.

Arthur Ryan was punished by Io, and his heroic body was completely shattered. There was no soul that could be resurrected, and there was not even a corpse. As for the other lich, he could have been resurrected through the life box, and he should have been able to be resurrected even if he went back in time and became a human.

However, Amber's death was not simply due to aging or falling from a height. The real reason was the dragon blood curse cast by the dragon before his death.

The last person to bear the dragon blood curse was the real Arthur Ryan, and his soul eventually dissipated completely.

The same was true for Amber. His soul had already been shattered before his body fell to the ground. The dragon used a curse to turn Amber's tragic memories of hundreds of years into a herd of beasts, tearing and devouring Amber's soul. According to countless professional investigations, it is believed that the soul of this hero has completely dissipated.

Perhaps, only Io's intervention or reversing time can revive him.

No matter how much people hated the lich during his lifetime, after this battle, they all bowed their heads in front of the monument and praised his great sacrifice.

Just turning around, these people began to discuss how to deal with the huge assets left behind by the lich master.

Everyone has seen the business of Gold Coin Island and Silver Coin Island. It can no longer be described by the word "making money". It is simply teaching gold coins to give birth to children.

In a short period of time, the lich built a business empire, and it was not destroyed much by his demise. The only thing affected was his cheap and useful undead troops.

But now countries will not go to war in the short term, so this business is not easy to do.

The real big profits come from logistics and shipping, alchemy factories, and various local specialties that are monopolized by the liches.

Things like magical materials from the elves, spices from the Unholy Hymn, and high-end equipment, etc., these were all negotiated when the lich was alive.

If you can get your hands on these product channels, you will be the goose that lays golden eggs.

Some people are still concerned about the influence that the Lich has just sacrificed for the whole world, while others have already begun naked embezzlement.

On the Gold Coin Island that had been turned into an alchemy factory, Harvey's face turned pale, because in front of them was the president of the New Alchemy Association, Gustavo Flynn, and what he brought was not the distribution profit that should have been delivered recently but a new profit-sharing contract.

Harvey casually flipped through it and found that the profit sharing ratio had completely changed. Originally, their teacher was supposed to take most of the profits, but with the new contract, all the profits went to the Alchemy Association.

Harvey grabbed the new contract and said in a serious tone: "Master Flynn, is this the latest decision of your Alchemy Association?"

Gustavo Fring looked at Harvey expressionlessly. His stern black face brought great pressure to the young man. It was said that more than one alchemist was scared to death by Gustavo Fring's eyes.

Harvey was also a little panicked, but after the teacher left, Harvey, who used to be an accountant, became the main person in charge of many businesses. Now he could only bite the bullet and negotiate with this greedy alchemist.

"Master Flynn, you should know clearly what this contract represents. It means that you are going to swallow up my teacher's business."

"When your teacher was still around, he also swallowed up countless people's businesses, provoked wars, resold arms, forged and counterfeited medicines, and so on. The world is so cruel, and it won't change just because your teacher becomes a hero. Harvey, you've followed that lich for so long, don't you see clearly the rules by which the world operates?"

Harvey sneered and said, "What's the point of talking to the prophecy wizard about the rules of the world, Master Flynn? All you see are the so-called unspoken rules of the business world."

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

Gustavo Flynn said without changing his expression: "We are only talking about business now. To be frank, if you have any ability like your teacher, I will not come to my door. Harvey, you should re-understand this world where the strong prey on the weak. For the sake of your teacher, I can leave you some profits, but the premise is that you must understand your position."

Harvey stood up excitedly and said angrily: "The Dragon Clan Alchemy business is a channel controlled by my teacher. Without raw materials, you can't do anything. What confidence do you have to change the contract?"

"Do you think the world will stop functioning during the time your teacher has passed away? We have sent people overseas to contact the dragon tribe. You originally promised the dragon tribe that you could let them enjoy food and luxuries from the mainland. But your teacher is gone. With your abilities, can you satisfy those greedy dragons?"

Harvey didn't expect the Alchemy Association to act so quickly and send people out to sea to contact the dragon clan? Why didn't he receive any news?

"You can choose not to accept this new contract, but can you keep your teacher's business? Do you want to fight against our Alchemy Association? Do you think you are the lich who can make gods fall with just your mouth?"

Gustavo Flynn did not look down on Harvey. The young man was also extremely talented. It was rumored that he was the prophecy wizard most likely to enter the legendary realm after the lich.

But many things depend on who you compare with.

During the time when his teacher was stirring up trouble, he almost trampled on all the geniuses in the world. In comparison, Harvey was so far behind, and it was difficult for those ambitious people to restrain themselves.

Gustavo Flynn really hopes that Harvey can see the reality clearly. If possible, he even hopes that Harvey can work for him, so that it will be much easier to take over the industry left by Amber.

Gustavo Flynn could see that Harvey had been shaken. This kid wasn't strong enough and wasn't qualified enough to inherit the lich's legacy.

Gustavo Flynn was also glad that this guy was a lich and not a human noble with a large family, otherwise it would not be easy to get his things.

Just when Gustavo Flynn was pressing forward, thinking he could make Xavi surrender, the young man suddenly suppressed all his emotions, grabbed the parchment with the new contract and tore it hard.

The fragments fell to the ground, and Harvey said to Gustavo Flynn calmly: "You are right, there is a big gap between me and my teacher. I can't keep his business, but you can't take it away either. Master Flynn, I am not good at business, but I am good at something.

"If you insist on doing such an indecent thing, then I guarantee that everyone in your Alchemy Association will have bad luck in the next ten or hundred years. You will accomplish nothing, you will encounter frequent accidents, and you will be spurned by the world. This is what I can do. I will sacrifice everything I have to fate in exchange for the destruction of your Alchemy Association."

Gustavo Fring frowned, but he didn't take the threat seriously.

The prophecy wizard is troublesome, but Harvey is just a teenager who has just graduated from his apprenticeship. Such threats are just bragging and have no practical significance.

However, just when Gustavo Flynn wanted to put more pressure on him, he felt his body stiffen.

The air around him seemed to start to get colder, and Gustavo Flynn could even see the breath he exhaled turning into white mist.

A crimson figure appeared in front of the two men, elegant and graceful, but the appearance of this beautiful figure made Gustavo Flynn's soul tremble.

How could she be here?! Harvey exclaimed in surprise!

"Ms. Rose, why are you here?!"
