This lich needs more money

 Chapter 503 He is a money-making genius

 In the Lane Palace, Ange Watson came to this deserted place alone again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that every time I come here, Ryan's palace is colder than before.

It should be a place shrouded in holy light, but I couldn't feel the warmth of the morning sun.

"It should be because too many royal family members died."

Ange Watson comforted himself in this way. Even though all the bodies were disposed of, there were still many rumors about the uncleanness of the palace. Too many people have died, and not even the Holy Light can clear away all the resentment at once.

But Ange Watson thinks this is a good thing.

The emperors of Lane in recent years have all been puppet-like fertility machines. Now this is the real emperor, and Lane, ruled by him, is slowly recovering from the crisis of division.

Ange Watson is also very confident that if he gives His Majesty more time, Ryan will return to his most glorious time.

Walking into the empty hall, the young emperor was still sitting alone on the throne, looking a little lonely. Seeing Ange Watson arriving, the emperor put down the heavy ancient book in his hand.

Angor Watson couldn't help but take a look and saw the name "Introduction to the Prophecy Mage" on the cover.

Why did Your Majesty start reading such magic books?

The little emperor put down the book without covering up, and then said enthusiastically: "Ange, you are finally back. How is the situation on the island?"

Ange Watson reported quickly.

"Your Majesty, the construction of various facilities on the island has begun, and it is estimated that it will be completed in less than a month. This lich specifically chose to hold the meeting after two months. I think he still has a conspiracy.

"I noticed traces of a large magic circle on the island, but I couldn't tell what type of magic circle it was. When I asked the lich, the answer I got was that it was used to defend the venue and prevent conflicts, but I'm sure it wasn't. He said it so simply."

The little emperor chuckled.

"How can the lich be so simple? I'm not surprised at all by this method. I care more about other things. Ange, I heard that the lich recently held an auction on that island. What is the specific situation?"

Ange Watson became even more excited when he heard the emperor ask this.

"Your Majesty, this auction is really exaggerated. Hundreds of millions of gold coins have entered his pocket. I never expected that he really captured all the dragons overseas. Those high-end magic equipment have become a hot commodity. Good thing. This lich did it on purpose. He wanted to put more pressure on us."

Angor Watson is also a knowledgeable person. Sending those high-end magic equipment to the orcs will significantly enhance the combat effectiveness of the legendary orcs. Especially the "Blood Wedding" specially made for the orcs. If this two-handed ax fell into the hands of the orc king, Ange Watson would really worry about whether he could defend the city.

The original Silver Moon Knight could influence the outcome of the war alone. Although the Orc King was not as good as the Silver Moon Knight, with this ax he could exert a destructive power close to that of the Silver Moon Knight.

The little emperor didn't pay attention to this and just asked with a smile: "Tell the truth, how much did it cost? I remember that before departure, I approved a quota of 50 million gold coins for you."

Angor Watson lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "Your Majesty...the fifty million gold coins..."

"All spent?"

Angor Watson nodded, but seemed to have something to say.

The little emperor was immediately surprised and asked: "Isn't it enough?"

Ange Watson knelt down directly and said rather apologetically: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I signed a loan of 40 million gold coins from the lich in the name of the Watson family and did not use Ryan's wealth. This is to prevent Let the orcs grab this batch of magic equipment,"

The little emperor's hands were shaking. For the entire Ryan Empire, this money was not much. But in the past few years, Lane has been fighting everywhere and has suffered many unnecessary losses, which has affected the economy. It’s not that people won’t have enough to eat, but hundreds of millions have been spent in just a few days, which is really heartbreaking.

Why borrow money in the name of the Watson family? James Watson can't sell himself for so much money. In the end, he has to let the Lane Empire advance the money, otherwise the lich will dare to swallow all the previous deposit, and then do the same. Give the equipment to the orcs.

The little emperor rubbed his brows. It was just a problem that needed money to solve, so that's fine. I'm afraid there might be something else.

As soon as this idea came up, Ange Watson said: "Your Majesty, there is another small episode related to Ryan."

The little emperor's fingers are trembling. Isn't this enough?

"Ange, if you have anything to say, you should finish it all at once."

Angor Watson hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's right, there is a **** dwarf vampire on the island signing copies of his books, and the contents inside are unsightly."

"Signing?"

The little emperor was a little confused. Although it was strange for a vampire to sell books, what did this have to do with Ryan?

Wait, dwarf vampire? This sounds so strange.

"Your Majesty, that **** vampire sells... taboo novels that **** after the Ryan royal family, and he sells them in a high-profile manner in front of everyone. I have no choice but to spend money to buy all his books."

The little emperor closed his eyes in despair. This money was wasted. What does the chaos of the Ryan royal family have to do with him? But he couldn't say this, and Ange Watson really couldn't ignore it.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to this slander." The little emperor changed the question: "Did all the kingdoms bleed at the auction, or were we the only ones who spent a lot of money?" Ange Watson breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor didn't care about him. The matter of spending money indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty, it's not just us, even the druids of Emerald Dream Forest have suffered losses, and they were forced to do so."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment. Didn't this lich invite other kingdoms to support him? Why did he cheat his guests?

"What's going on? What did the lich do?"

Ange Watson explained: "The lich found many special species from overseas, such as deep-sea piranhas, evil vultures and poisonous plants. He said they were going to be transplanted to the mainland and prepared to be sold to the Alchemy Association of the Dwarf Kingdom for research. . The people from the Alchemy Association said on the spot that they would domesticate and raise these species, and the druids became anxious.

"The Emerald Dream Forest does not allow this kind of environmental damage to occur. We have to pay a huge price to buy these alien species and then release them."

The little emperor could imagine the expressions of the great druids. The lich just grabbed some overseas animals and plants. The Alchemy Association of the dwarves must have cooperated with him in his acting. It cost almost nothing. Just after extracting a large amount of money from Druid... the little emperor couldn't help but sigh: "He is a genius who makes money! I almost want to pry open his skull and study his soul!"

After being reminded by the mysterious man, the little emperor also believed that he had no essential conflict with the lich. He just wanted to make money. With Ryan's help, he would only make more.

It's time to have a good talk with this lich. Maybe it's a good choice to invite him to Lane for a chat in advance. Lane can definitely offer a price that makes him happy.

Just as he was thinking about how many days in advance he would meet the lich, Ange Watson reported again: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this. Our magic mirror has been successfully developed."

Ange Watson presented two palm-sized metal mirrors.

The little emperor quickly reached out to take one of them, and quickly found the familiar operating button. After opening it, the two magic mirrors began to transmit images.

The sound and image are synchronized without any delay or blur.

The little emperor said excitedly: "It's exactly the same!"

Ange Watson also said excitedly: "Yes, functionally there is no difference."

The little emperor stroked the two mirrors and asked, "Has the safety and confidentiality been tested?"

"According to tests, neither the lich's magic mirror nor the magic mirror made by the Alchemy Association can communicate with each other. And they are not affected by remote control. In theory, they will not be discovered or controlled remotely."

This is the new type of magic mirror that Lane's skilled craftsmen have spent a lot of time and energy researching. They did not hesitate to pay heavy compensation, dismantled three magic mirrors to explore the principles inside, and secretly sent spies to the Alchemy Association to steal the magic mirror manufacturing technology.

The war made Ryan exert his powerful power. These alchemists who were once ignored finally made a breakthrough under the care of the Holy Light and completely mastered the method of making magic mirrors.

This thing is so ingenious yet so simple.

From now on, Ryan no longer has to worry about the lich turning off the use of all magic mirrors. This is a magic mirror that belongs entirely to Ryan.

"Your Majesty, I have left some members of the mission on the island in the name of security supervision. We can use this to contact them at any time."

"Good job, let me try it."

The little emperor opened the remote communication and soon saw a Lane person appearing on the mirror. Just as the other party was about to kneel down and salute, the little emperor said: "Don't move around, don't make any noise, take the magic mirror and walk around the island. I want to see the traces of the magic circle on the island."

Those who can be entrusted with important tasks by Ange Watson are not ordinary people, and they immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The mirror is covered with a translucent gauze, making the picture a little hazy, but you can still see it clearly if you look closely.

As his vision moved, the little emperor saw everything on the road.

There are bustling construction sites everywhere, magnificent exhibition stands, and magic lines all over the island.

The little emperor looked at it for a while and couldn't help but frown.

Why is the pattern of this magic circle so weird? It doesn't look like the current spell structure, but more like some kind of spell from ancient times.

Generally speaking, the structure of spells is constantly being optimized. For the same magic effect, modern spells must be more energy-saving and more effective. Only those "forbidden spells" that are forbidden to be studied for various reasons will stop because no one improves them. change.

What is this magic circle? The little emperor vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere.

Perhaps, you can find it by checking the library of the Ryan royal family?
