Chapter 324 Ryan's Power
Amber Xiu asked for 20 billion, and Rachel Angelo wanted to chop the lich with the Holy Slash right now.
But he knew that it was meaningless to do so. No matter how much he looked down on the Silver Moon Knight, the reckless man, the Silver Moon Knight had a skill that was superior to all the holy warriors.
The Holy Slash of the Silver Moon Knight could chase the soul of the lich and chop the life box together.
Without this ability, facing a lich, at most he could destroy his body, but he couldn't really take his life.
But 20 billion, this is impossible. Even if the entire Liuyan City was sold together with him, it would not be worth so much money.
Thinking of this, Rachel Angelo put on a friendly smile and said to Amber Xiu: "It was a misunderstanding just now, my friend, I apologize for my recklessness just now. But time is running out. Even if you don't tell me the truth, can you save Frodo first? Since you know the truth, you must know how to save him, right? You won't lie to me, right?"
Rachel Angelo deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
They are all insidious and cunning people. Amber Xiu immediately understood what Rachel Angelo meant.
Business can be discussed, but Amber Xiu must show something to prove himself, otherwise he will turn against her. Although Amber Xiu cannot be completely killed, Rachel Angelo will not let him off easily.
Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "How can I solve this mysterious method? If you want to save people, you must nip the source. As I said just now, this is a method of cooperation between the gods and tieflings. You either kill the Lord of Hell or destroy the Unholy Hymn, otherwise there is no way to save people. You can only delay at most."
"Delay is OK!" Rachel Angelo said excitedly, because Frodo's right arm has completely become undead, and his flesh and blood have begun to rot and stink.
Amber Xiu said, "Time stops! This is the only way to delay his death. Do you have a magic scroll for time stop?!"
"Time stop scroll?"
Rachel Angelo didn't care how expensive this thing was, and immediately asked someone to bring it over.
It must be said that the Ryans are really rich. Such high-level scrolls are priced at hundreds of thousands of gold coins. After all, copying such a scroll once can seriously injure the wizard. It is really a life-threatening task. They took out three of these precious things at a time.
The time-stopping barrier was opened, and Frodo immediately fell into a static state. In this case, all magic could not take effect, and the undead curse on him finally stopped.
But Rachel Angelo's expression was still ugly, because Frodo's shoulders and half of his chest had been turned into undead. If this part was cut off, he would not survive.
And this time-stopping barrier can only last for a few minutes. After a few minutes, the curse will continue, turning Frodo completely into an undead.
Rachel Angelo took a deep breath, turned to Amber and said, "Although we don't have much time, we can have a good talk now. Master Ultraman, how much do you know about this?"
"Not much, but I advise you not to use other methods to stop this undeadization, it will only make him more painful, it is better to give him a quick death. Oh, if you really can't bear it, I have a soul transplant operation here, which can let him return to a form to live..."
Rachel Angelo snorted and said, "Wouldn't it still become an undead? You really know how to give advice!"
In Rachel Angelo's view, the soul migration and change of form mentioned by a lich is not just to make people undead, at best to maintain a little self-awareness. But that is absolutely unacceptable. If the paladin is made into an undead, it will be a shame for the entire Ryan to be recorded in history.
Amber Xiu shrugged. He originally wanted to say that using the mercury figurine as the body shell to transfer the soul of the holy warrior there would definitely be considered a living creature rather than a dead soul, but slimes are not much better than dead souls, so forget it.
"Well, if you don't accept this suggestion, then you can try to reverse time. Stopping time can prevent the curse from taking place, and then rewinding time can naturally restore him to the time before he was cursed. Ryan has a way to rewind time, right? I heard that at the celebration of the Ryan Imperial Capital before, your emperor used the magic dragon weapon to rewind everyone's time for a whole year..."
Amber Xiu stared at Rachel Angelo's face. This was the key to his coming here, to inquire about the information related to the magic dragon weapon. Can this set of artifacts really be used unlimitedly?
Rachel Angelo didn't feel relieved immediately after hearing this plan. She just silently told others, "I will write to His Majesty right away. You send Frodo to the imperial capital and report my letter and the situation. Whether Frodo can survive depends on His Majesty's will."
Rachel Angelo's reaction made Amber Xiu very uneasy. It was just the life of a paladin. Rachel Angelo dared to ask the emperor to use the dragon weapon. Could it be that this thing can be used without limit?
Then who can beat Ryan on the battlefield?
A time reversal can turn all enemies into babies and turn the city into wilderness.
But Amber Xiu didn't dare to ask more. Rachel Angelo was definitely an old fox. It was the accident of someone around him that made him lose his composure a little. Now that the person was going to be sent away, he might not continue to reveal flaws and expose more information.
Therefore, Amber Xiu needed to create new flaws.
After Angelo finished writing the letter and sent it out, Amber said to him: "General Angelo, I believe I have expressed my sincerity, so can we talk about business? I will tell you everything about this matter, and you have to pay me a satisfactory reward."
Rachel Angelo shook her head and said: "Two billion is impossible, there is no need to talk about this. Moreover, I was a little out of control just now, but it does not mean that I am a fool. This curse must have some prerequisites. If it can be used without limit, I will definitely die earlier than Frodo. You can choose not to say it, but I will find the answer."
Amber asked: "Really? How long will it take, and how many people will die during this period?"
Rachel Angelo sneered and said to Amber: "Master Ultraman, you underestimate us holy warriors. We will panic because of the unknown, but we are not afraid of death. I will let my subordinates be prepared."
Amber did not refute, because this is the fact.
Other armies would lose morale if they suffered more than 30% casualties in frontal combat, but Ryan's Paladin Corps often achieved shocking results, and 70% to 80% casualties were not a big deal, and they often fought to the last man.
Otherwise, how could Ryan be invincible in the past thousand years? It was obviously a place of four wars, but it had to fight to the point that several neighboring countries were crying.
Although religious lunatics are easy to be used, they are really scary when they go crazy.
"Well, since we can't reach an agreement, I'll leave first. Good luck, General Angelo."
Amber was about to leave, but Rachel Angelo blocked his way.
"Master Ultraman, the information you know is of great importance. I can't let you leave for the time being."
"That doesn't make sense. I came to remind you with good intentions and provided useful information. Not only are you not going to pay for the information, but you are also going to imprison me? General Angelo, I am now an ordinary citizen of Ryan. Do you treat civilians like this?"
Rachel Angelo shook her head and said, "No, you are wrong. I am not keeping you here to imprison you, but I just wrote a letter to the imperial capital to explain the situation here. I can't afford so much money, but His Majesty may not be unwilling. Why don't you wait here for His Majesty's reply?"
Rachel Angelo's hand has grasped the hilt of the sword. Amber Xiu knows very well that this is just his excuse. If he really wants to leave soon, he will draw his sword and leave Amber Xiu's body here.
Amber thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll wait, but I want to rest quietly, isn't that too much?"
Rachel Angelo nodded and said, "Of course not too much, I will prepare a room for you, and make sure no one disturbs you."
Amber was sent to a simple little house by Rachel Angelo, a single-family house in the castle, surrounded by a large number of paladins and priests of light inside and outside, ensuring that Amber could not escape at all.
Amber was pushed into the house, but the moment they closed the door, Amber had walked out again.
Lila's real illusion, a powerful illusion that can even deceive gods.
After Leila became a god again, the effect of this illusion became even more powerful, and these dozens of paladins and priests of light did not notice that Amber had run away.
Thanks to Amber for getting the item that exempted him from the attack of the city defense magic circle when he entered the city, he would not cause an alarm if he walked freely in the city... at least not for the time being.
"It's hard to deal with an old fox, but unfortunately I don't have enough time."
Rachel Angelo is an old man who is not easy to deal with. He has a lot of experience, but his mind is as fast as that of a young man. Amberxiu tried to set a trap for him several times, but he was bypassed directly. Amberxiu didn't have time to waste with the old fox who didn't accept the challenge at all. He first investigated the reality of Liuyan City and then ran away.
With the cover of illusion, Amberxiu didn't alarm anyone and went around the city at the fastest speed.
Equipment depot and granary, just looking at these two places can roughly guess the troops that Ryan is going to gather. When the paladins go to the battlefield, they have special standard equipment, which is different from the usual training. They can be recognized at a glance, and the approximate number can be guessed by counting.
"A legion of paladins, that is 10,000 people, and a regiment of light priests, and then ordinary regular soldiers..."
Amberxiu roughly estimated that the number of troops that Liuyan City can support alone is close to 100,000.
This does not include the troops sent by other border cities. Even without the main force such as the Holy Knights, the number of Ryan's troops is still 300,000 to 400,000.
Ryan's ordinary soldiers are considered elite in other kingdoms. This is not a false number that takes into account logistics, but a real number of 300,000 to 400,000 elite soldiers.
Without the Gate of Hell, the unclean hymn will definitely not be stopped.
Amber Xiu sighed and said, "Alas, I'd better advise you to accept the reality. We really can't win this time. Hundreds of thousands of Ryan's elites, plus the magic dragon armed forces, and countless legends, the unclean hymns and the dwarf kingdom can't win, unless the druids and orcs are willing to send troops together to resist."
Just as Amber Xiu walked out of the armory and prepared to leave the Liuyan City, he suddenly saw a sneaky figure climbing down from the distant city wall, and then bypassed the patrolling soldiers at a very fast speed, turning left and right all the way towards Amber Xiu's position.
Amber Xiu was surprised when he saw the person running over clearly, and when he passed by him, he reached out to grab his shoulder.
But this person seemed to have a premonition, and when Amber Xiu reached out, he quickly hid aside. Although his posture was a bit awkward, he avoided Amber Xiu's sudden attack.
You know, Amber Xiu is now a legendary ranger. Although he is a fake among rangers, such a sudden sneak attack is still hard to guard against, and the other party avoided it.
After dodging Amber's grab, the man immediately drew out the sword from his waist and looked around vigilantly.
Amber broke the illusion and appeared in front of the man. Before he could exclaim, he first said, "Alan, what are you doing here?"
