This lich needs more money

Amberxiu spent a lot of time returning to his alchemy factory from the underground.

Those who have teleportation don't think there is any problem with long-distance travel. After losing the ability to teleport, Amber Xiu realized that traveling is really a troublesome thing.

I finally returned to my hometown, but as soon as I came back, I saw Catherine sitting at the gate of the dungeon, holding her legs with her hands and burying her head in her knees.

Why does this posture look so familiar?

Oh, Melina was sitting on the bed in the same position last time when she was teased as an idiot.

Amberxiu said in surprise: "What's going on? Not long after I left, you became depressed?"

Catherine raised her head, her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

"They, they all lied to me..."

Catherine cried and explained everything to Ambrose.

Originally, Catherine was full of confidence and wanted those drow to be loyal to her. Her operation was also very simple and direct. She first let the drow have a good rest, eat and drink enough, and then started talking to them one by one.

It was good at first. These drows went from being wary to opening up and telling Catherine their tragic experiences.

Catherine felt the same after hearing this. She did not expect that the life experience of these drow elves was so miserable. From birth, they will be assigned a cute little spider, who will grow up with the drow. As soon as they learned to speak, they had to learn vicious magic spells. After mastering this spell, the first person they cast the spell on was the little spider they had raised since childhood.

This kind of education that is contrary to human nature is designed to make the drow lose kindness and love from an early age.

After completing this ritual, the drow will begin to undergo rigorous training. Assassination, poisoning, lurking, torture...everything is eroding the humanity in their hearts. Until they reach adulthood, they will go to the surface to hunt a high elf, sacrifice it to the Rose Spider and become a real drow. Mistress.

Of course, these captured drow elves are all minors, but after years of torture, they have already become cruel monsters that are completely inhumane.

When Catherine talked to them, the drow were very resistant at first. It was not until Catherine "influenced" them with her sincerity that the drow opened their hearts to her, and some even cried with her.

After crying, the faces of these drow no longer looked alert and wary, but began to smile.

Catherine also believed that she had completed her mission of reformation. She took these five drows who were close to her with her and almost ate, drank and slept together.

Then, just as Catherine lets her guard down, she is stabbed.

Legend, when unprepared, is only flesh and blood, and Catherine's body in pajamas cannot block the blade.

However, perhaps it was Catherine's charm that played a role. The knife did not stab her vitals, but only caused her severe injuries.

Then the five drow whose souls were unbound by Amber Xiu took Catherine as a hostage and wanted to leave the dungeon.

As a result, they succeeded.

The undead guards along the way did not stop them, allowing them to successfully escape to the gate of the dungeon.

Then, they fell into a magic trap.

Amber Xiu had prepared this a long time ago. He knew that the drow would definitely cause trouble, so he casually set up a body-holding trap.

All the drow were hit, and then two undead guards, Dahei and Erha, appeared from the corner. They first moved the injured Catherine aside and filled her with healing potion, and then captured all the escaping drow. Put him in a cell.

Catherine was hit hard, not physically, but mentally.

Obviously, they have talked about everything, and Catherine has promised to give them a better life, so why do they still betray her?

Catherine could not think of any reason why these drow would rather risk death and escape than stay with her and live a good life.

After listening to her statement, Amberxiu asked strangely: "Why do you think what they say is true? Catherine, they are drow elves!"

Catherine buried her head back into her knees in shame.

Amberxiu walked over, patted her on the head and said, "Don't worry, it's not your fault that you were deceived, it's the fault of the person who deceived you. Now you know what's going on with the drow, right? Before you understand them thoroughly, , put away your kindness. Now come with me, and we will deal with the escaping drow."

Catherine raised her head and asked a little excitedly: "What are you going to do to them?"

"Why, do you still want to let them go?" Amber Xiu asked.

Catherine originally really wanted to beg Amberxiu to let them go, but she hesitated when the words came to her lips, and finally said: "No, I will listen to you."

I really don't have the ability to recover the drow.

In this case, just listen to this lich. As for the drow, Catherine recalled the time when they had a long conversation, and then recalled the scene when they stabbed her body with a knife.

Since they chose to betray, Catherine would no longer plead for them.

Amberxiu said happily: "Yes, there has been progress. But don't worry, I am not going to kill those betrayers."

"Huh? Why? This isn't like your style."

Catherine couldn't believe that Brother Amber would let those betrayers go. This lich dared to attack gods, and he was usually very ruthless.

"Killing must be meaningful. I will never do meaningless killing or abuse without reason. I respect every life equally."

Amber Xiu said this very piously, and this was also his greatest realization after reincarnating into a lich.

Transforming from a human to a lich is like changing a species. Amberxiu looks at all life from another perspective, a more just perspective - to see who is more valuable and how to maximize its value.

Including Amber Xiu himself, he is also on this scale, and only in this way can it be considered fair.

The betrayal of these drow elves is actually part of Amber Xiu's plan. There are only twenty of them, and if five of them are killed at once, what's next?

Besides, these drow elves are so valuable when sold, how can they be killed casually?

Amberxiu took Catherine to the cell. The five drow were chained and all hung on crosses. Each of them looked bruised and swollen, as if they had been severely punished.

"How can these two guys slap each other in the face?" Amber Xiu said unhappily.

Catherine was just thinking that Amberxiu sympathized with these drow elves, but his next words were: "If you lose face, you won't be able to sell it for a price."

Catherine looked at Amberxiu in surprise and asked, "Are you going to sell them?"

Amberxiu nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise what use would they have? Many nobles want a drow as a family heirloom. Maybe they can give birth to a half-elf and improve the family's bloodline."

"How could you do this? If you do this, you might as well kill them!" Catherine cannot accept this result. It doesn't matter if the betrayer is killed, but buying it as a "heirloom" for the nobles is more painful than death. Catherine can't even imagine them. What kind of abuse will be suffered.

However, as soon as Catherine finished speaking, the five drow elves said loudly: "No, no, no, don't kill us. We are willing to be slaves and sell them to anyone. Please let us live!"

Catherine's eyes widened, not expecting that the drow would choose this outcome.

Amberxiu smiled and said: "You still don't understand the drow. Chastity is completely unimportant to them. As long as they can survive, it doesn't matter if they are an heirloom elf. There is always a chance to escape. As long as they live, right? They don't take any insult to heart. Because they have little sense of shame, the drow will betray without any scruples."

Catherine was speechless by Amber Xiu's words. She was indeed too naive.

What I think is good is not good for the drow. Is it because of this different concept that the drow betrayed me?

Catherine fell into deep thought, but Amberxiu said to the five drow: "Katherine is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see you suffer, but I also know that this favor means nothing to you. Every drow is born It’s ambitious. So, I can give you another option.”

Amber Xiu's words confused the five drow elves. The lich in front of them was obviously much more powerful than the stupid elves. They didn't have any good expectations for the future.

Amberxiu didn't care what they thought, he just said: "I know you want freedom, so let's make an agreement. I still have fifteen drow elves under my command, and there will be more in the future. I will transfer these drow The elves are left to you to lead, and what you have to do is very simple, assist Catherine and make these drow elves willing to obey Catherine's orders.

"Each of you, as long as you can make a hundred drow elves voluntarily obey Catherine's orders, you can leave. I swear in the name of the God of Alchemy that I will never violate this contract! If you are willing, I will be with you. Leave a magic mark on your body, and when you complete the contract, I will let you go.

"Of course, you can also choose the second one, and I will kill you now."

Without any hesitation, these five drow elves chose to sign a contract with Amber Xiu, and then each of them was assigned three drow elves. At this point, the twenty drow elves were divided into five groups.

Amberxiu gave them enough time to discuss among themselves, then took Catherine aside and whispered: "These drow elves will be left to you, and the only thing you need to do is to respond ambiguously no matter what they say. Don’t agree or refute, and then record everything they say and do in detail. Do you understand?”

Catherine said a little doubtfully: "I will do it well, but why do you let the drow elves take care of the drow elves? Isn't it more dangerous for them to unite?"

Amberxiu wanted to say that Catherine's fate was to work overtime for herself until she burst into tears. She would never die before completing this future.

But Catherine would definitely be angry with him, so Amberxiu told her: "The drow are the ones who know the drow best. There is a hierarchy between them. How to make the drow loyal, only they can I know, all you have to do is record this method. As for the danger, why are you afraid of being stabbed? "

Catherine said firmly: "I'm not afraid. This is a task assigned to me by the gods, and I won't be careless anymore!"

"Very well, then I'll leave it to you."

After Umbershoe finished his instructions, he returned to his laboratory, took out a piece of parchment, and thought about how to write a letter to James Watson.

After thinking about it, Amberxiu decided to talk about the two hundred thousand gold coins that Allen owed him.
