This Lich Requests More Remuneration
Chapter 383 - 356: Is My Reputation That Good?

Chapter 383: Chapter 356: Is My Reputation That Good?

[Mute: Faith? I’ve never really thought about that.]

Aige’s Silent Night Pirates were powerful, but few in number, and members admired Aige rather than worshipped him.

Occasionally some simpletons from overseas would feel awe or even offer sacrifices to this pirate gang.

But their number was so small it barely made an impact.

Now that Amberser mentioned it, it piqued Aige’s interest somewhat.

After the Kingdom of Impure Hymns disappeared, the whole continent gained a new understanding of diviner mages.

Playing the two Hell Lords like puppets, sending an entire kingdom and tens of millions of people to another world.

That was a miracle—unprecedented in the annals of history.

Just imagine if that kingdom hadn’t ascended, but instead crashed onto another kingdom... Tsk tsk, the so-called Eleventh-Ring Mountain Moving Spell is nothing compared to this.

Previously, Aige just thought Amberser was a lich with many tricks up his sleeve, but now he looked at him in a completely new light.

It’s not that Aige was opportunistic—it’s just how the world works. When you have the ability, your words carry weight.

[Mute: I’m not sure if the power of faith will be of any use to me, but we can give it a try. How do you plan to do it? Where will the faith come from?]

Amberser replied, [I think we could consider bringing those murlocs under my command. There are kingdoms on land, kingdoms underground, but no kingdoms in the sea. Why not give it a try?]​​

Having that group of murlocs clash with the Githyanki would also delay the return of the Dragon Race. If it could help Aige achieve deification as well, then Amberser would make a huge profit.

The God of Alchemy, Lady of Mist, plus Aige and the Elven Gods, Amberser’s backing wasn’t ordinary at all.

Let the Rose Spider Queen come seeking vengeance if she dares, he would crush her outright!

[Mute: I don’t quite understand how to gain followers.]

[Diga Ultraman: It depends on what kind of god you want to become.]

Aige fell silent for a long while, finally leaving a message: [Come to me, and let’s sit down and talk this over slowly.]

Aige didn’t really like discussing his privacy in a group chat, especially something as important as becoming a god.

Amberser agreed quickly as well, venturing out to sea was a must, and with Aige’s help, dealing with the Githyanki and the Red Dragons from the Star Realm would be much easier.

[Diga Ultraman: Let’s talk more when we meet, though it’s just an idea I have; it may not necessarily work.]

[Mute: Haha, no need to be modest. Who doesn’t know now that a diviner mage can create miracles? I believe you can do whatever you say you can.]

Amberser felt somewhat embarrassed, it was Uradimir who truly accomplished that feat, he just basked in its glow.

Just as he was about to modestly downplay it, Hake Stone, the vampire, suddenly asked: [What are you all talking about? What miracles, what diviner mage?]

[Crown of the Headless Knight: You don’t know? It’s such big news.]

[Dislikes Humanity: I really don’t know. I’ve been secluding myself to write a book recently, just finished the prologue and came out for some air. What’s the lich done now?]

Amberser had no choice but to explain: [I tricked Goddess Tiamat and Zariel, saved millions of Tiflin, and incidentally, banished the entire Kingdom of Impure Hymns to the Land of Chaos. I have a friend there who can take care of those Tiflin.]

[Not a Fan of Humans: Banish an entire kingdom, including the land and all its people?]

[Diga Ultraman: Yes.]

[Not a Fan of Humans: Heh, impressive. You’re now not only fooling me but also those veterans.]

Amberser was at a loss for words. This dwarf never believed him, despite him being such an honest person, not even slightly exaggerating.

And without Amberser needing to explain, his chat group friends quickly came to his defense.

[Headless Knight’s Crown: It’s true, Brother Hake, face reality. When has he ever made up things that don’t exist?]

[Withered Rose: Not only that, but he also caused Laine to suffer heavy losses. I’m still thinking about how to thank him.]

[Pale Little Skeleton: And that’s not all, he’s now on the Dragon Race’s blacklist because of the big fuss he created.]

Hake Stone fell silent once again, as if resigning himself to fate, and finally let out a sentiment: [I was wrong; I won’t doubt anything he says anymore.]

[Diga Ultraman: Really? I’ve just got a project that needs investment, with an annual profit of up to twenty percent. Do you want in? The first stage investment is only ten million Gold Coins.]

[Not a Fan of Humans: Get lost, you think I haven’t heard of such a classic scam? You’re insulting my intelligence.]

Amberser, feeling helpless, still wanted to keep a share in the international logistics for himself, after all, he turned the Dwarf King into a Vampire; that connection was solid.

However, this Dwarf Vampire had too deep a prejudice against him.

Amberser quickly focused on Miss Bone Dragon’s words.

[Diga Ultraman: Miss Bone Dragon, what’s this about me being on the Dragon Race’s blacklist? I haven’t done anything to them; I even want to do business with you guys.]

[Pale Little Skeleton: You banished an entire kingdom, and you destroyed the Githyanki’s Star Realm portal. Allen Watson left several Red Dragons crippled, using the magic weapon you gave him, rumored to be specifically against Dragon Race magic, targeting their eyes.]

How did this news get out? Damn it, did Allen spread this on purpose to screw me over?

This dark-browed and big-eyed kid turned traitor as well?

All Amberser could do was explain: [Rumors, absolute rumors, I never created such a weapon. That’s all Allen’s own skill.]

[Pale Little Skeleton: If you say there’s none, then there’s none, but the Dragon Race doesn’t believe you. They’ve decided that you’re the biggest obstacle to their return to the continent.]

[Diga Ultraman: Why, when I’ve done nothing? I’m just a plain and unremarkable Lich, that’s all.]

[Pale Little Skeleton: Now the whole world knows you betrayed your own race. You resolved the crisis of Alchemy City, you ended the war between the Dwarves and the Elves, you saved the Elf Tribe, although the details are unknown, but they even sent you the Elf Queen.

[You went to Fury Tide Kingdom and rescued Laine’s Founding Emperor’s Heroic Spirit; you prevented Fury Tide Kingdom from being plundered by Mute the senior. Then you stopped Laine’s invasion, rescuing the Kingdom of Impure Hymns from the Grand Duke of Hell’s hands... and you say you’re a plain and unremarkable Lich? You are a Lich who saves the world, the greatest obstacle to the Dragon Race’s return.]

[Headless Knight’s Crown: My wife’s right; brother, you’re outrageous. You’re even raising a bunch of humans in your domain and I heard you only take sixty percent in taxes. Brother, you’re being too kind-hearted.]

Amberser: ...

They made it sound so reasonable that for a moment, Amberser really couldn’t explain himself.

But since his reputation was so good and he had so many accomplishments, could he perhaps use that to his advantage?

Like, praying to the Lord of the Dawn, for instance, to become an Undead Paladin.
