This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 306: The Fountain of Youth Is Included in Military Supplies

Rachel Angelo is a strong man like a lion.

Everyone who has seen him will be impressed by his fluffy red hair, which is as thick as a lion's mane. Coupled with his sturdy body, many people subconsciously ignore his eighty-year-old age.

This iron-blooded lion has spent forty years on the frontier, guarding the frontier for the empire and establishing a great reputation.

Originally, there was a buffer zone between the Unholy Song and Ryan, in which various races lived, such as goblins, undead, lizardmen and gnolls.

Tiefling used these races as shields to isolate themselves from Ryan.

But since Rachel Angelo took over the position of the mayor of Liuyan City, these races have been almost killed by him.

Those huge goblin tribes with a number of more than 10,000 were trampled into bloody mud by Rachel Angelo's iron cavalry, and the legendary goblin warlock was beheaded by Rachel Angelo and is still hanging in his bedroom.

Rachel Angelo's strength is also one of the reasons why Tieflings are afraid of Ryan. All Tieflings know that once this iron-blooded general launches an attack, Tieflings are in danger of extinction.

Therefore, more gates of hell are imperative. They would rather be killed by the gods than be slaughtered by this terrible executioner.

The gates of hell make the Ryan people feel very troubled. Once this thing is opened, the monsters of hell will surge out. Hundreds of thousands of troops will surge out of the gates of hell in one day. Even if Ryan attacks with all his strength, he will suffer heavy casualties.

This is also what makes Rachel Angelo angry the most. His lifelong dream is to conquer a kingdom. The battle in the desert was inexplicable. The dwarves were too weak in the early stage, and the reckless raid of the Silver Moon Knights later caused heavy losses. It was really aggrieved for him to clean up the mess.

Later, when the Silver Moon Knight died in the expedition against the orcs, Ryan simply suspended the attack. When Rachel Angelo received the battle report, she cursed: "A bunch of idiots, Silver Moon is dead, and Ryan didn't rely on him alone to gain prestige! The city was captured with the lives of my Ryan soldiers, and you just throw it away?! A bunch of stupid and corrupt bureaucrats!"

However, Rachel Angelo was in a good mood recently, because there was news from the imperial capital, asking him to train his troops and prepare to receive a large amount of war supplies, including food, potions, weapons and equipment, etc.

Rachel Angelo understood at a glance that the war was about to start, and he was going to attack the blood descendants of the hell devils.

This time it would not be a small fight, it would be like the battle in the desert, a war to destroy the country!

Rachel Angelo was very happy that he could finally fight a war to destroy the country before he died. It was worth his efforts to make a vow until now, and it was finally time to realize his dream.

Ryan's system and culture are the best among all the countries on the continent, and humans are the most superior race. Humans should become the masters of this continent and let the light of the Lord of Dawn shine on every inch of land.

Conquest is to spread faith, which is the greatest dedication of believers to the gods!

It's a pity that Rachel Angelo has never felt the oracle of the Lord of Dawn. Even when he was promoted to Legend, the Lord of Dawn never glanced at him.

Rachel Angelo believes that it is because she has not been able to fulfill her oath that the Lord of Dawn is disappointed in her.

Now, it's time to fulfill her oath!

Rachel Angelo was excited and patrolled the city more frequently every day.

As a result, she encountered a strange thing today. A noble from the dwarf side was teleported to Liuyan City.

It is said that there was an accident during the teleportation, and the space distortion caused them to appear in Liuyan City when they were originally going to the Unholy Song.

Rachel Angelo didn't believe it at first. If it was so easy to teleport to the city by force, what's the point of the defensive magic circle? Just teleport some explosives or poisons in, and Liuyan City would be useless.

But after interrogation, it was confirmed that this was the case.

Asking the priests in charge of the city defense magic circle, a ridiculous answer was obtained.

The magic circle of Liuyan City can only defend against directional forced teleportation, that is, if someone is detected to forcibly break through the space blockade, the magic circle will automatically take effect to block this teleportation.

But if it is non-directional and just a random teleportation, the magic circle will not work.

The probability of a failed teleportation causing a positioning error to appear directly in the city is very rare, and it may not be seen once in a hundred years.

Ryan can't increase the cost of the city defense magic circle by more than ten times for such a low-probability event, which will also affect the operation of other defense functions.

Rachel Angelo doesn't know much about magic, but he believes that his subordinates will not make mistakes. This teleportation is really just a misunderstanding.

The subordinate asked hurriedly: "General, what should we do with the nobleman in the cell?"

"Thoroughly investigate his business partners. If they have any connection with the people on the wanted list, kill them directly. If not, let his family pay the money. He entered the Ryan border illegally and should be punished. All his goods will be confiscated..." At this point, Rachel Angelo asked again: "By the way, what is on the carriage? The packaging is quite exquisite."

The subordinate quickly replied, "It's the Fountain of Youth, a new type of youth potion that has emerged recently."

"Youth potion? So much?!"

Rachel Angelo was shocked. A bottle of youth potion is worth nearly 500,000 gold coins. How much is this carriage worth?

Even Rachel Angelo was shocked by this number. The youth potion in this carriage is almost equivalent to the military expenditure of Liuyan City for five years.

The subordinate quickly explained, "General, this is not the complete version of the youth potion. I heard that it has no real life-extending effect. It can only restore youth for a few days. After the effect of the drug wears off, it will return to its original state."

"So it's something that alchemists made to deceive people... Wait, when you say restore youth, do you mean simply the appearance?"

Rachel Angelo suddenly got a little excited and sat up.

"This... I don't know much, but I heard that the duration of the drug effect is to completely restore the state of youth. Those nobles use it as that kind of drug, and it should not only change their appearance."

Rachel Angelo hurriedly said: "Go check, and then send these fountains of youth to me!"

Watching his subordinates leave quickly, Rachel Angelo paced back and forth in his office a little anxiously.

He hoped that the effect of the fountain of youth was real and could really restore people to youth in a short time.

The Ryan Empire does not allow the use of youth potions to prolong life. This is an iron rule.

Once discovered, all property will be directly confiscated, the main offender will be sentenced to death, and the entire family will be exiled.

Even with the prestige of the Silver Moon Knight, he can only accept the burden brought to him by the years, and eventually die of old age on the battlefield.

"If he could be given a bottle of this fountain of youth, the Orc Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago!"

Although Rachel Angelo looked down on the Silver Moon Knight, a reckless man who could only swing a sword and had no command ability, he had to admit that the Silver Moon Knight's strength was beyond common sense. If he could be rejuvenated, even for just a few days, all the legends of the Orc Kingdom would just die.

Unfortunately, he is already dead.

But this fountain of youth is still useful.

Rachel Angelo was very excited. The fountain of youth could only temporarily return to the peak, and it had no effect of prolonging life, so it would not violate the rules to use it.

Rachel Angelo herself was eighty years old, and her energy was not comparable to that of her youth, but her current combat experience was not comparable to that of her youth.

If he were to return to his youth, he would become the nightmare of all enemies.

Most of Ryan's legends were over sixty. If everyone could drink a bottle on the battlefield, how strong would their combat power become?

Why didn't they tell him about this good thing?

It should be related to Ryan's rules. This kind of thing related to restoring youth is a taboo in Ryan, and most people don't even mention it.

Unexpectedly, she almost missed a good thing.

After a while, the carriage of the fountain of youth was delivered to Rachel Angelo.

The bottle was the size of a palm, and the potion inside was as bright as the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful. How much is this bottle of Fountain of Youth?" Rachel Angelo asked.

"It seems to be at least two thousand gold coins. I have asked someone about it. This potion can indeed restore the body's functions. This is the lowest-end category, and the effect can only last for about three days. There are also high-end Fountains of Youth, which can last up to ten days."

Rachel Angelo held the bottle of medicine and was reluctant to let it go. She asked again: "Are there any side effects?"

The subordinate replied: "I haven't heard of any side effects for the time being, but after the effect of each bottle of potion disappears, it cannot be taken for at least one month, otherwise symptoms of diarrhea and dizziness will occur."

Rachel Angelo hesitated for a moment, then ordered: "Go, catch a prisoner for me, an older one."

After a few minutes, a hunchbacked old man was brought to Rachel Angelo. He didn't ask what crime the man had committed, and directly poured the potion in the bottle into his mouth.

After a bottle of potion was poured down, only a dozen seconds passed, and the wrinkled old man turned into a young man in his twenties or thirties.

Rachel Angelo was full of surprise, but she still observed cautiously for a while and asked someone to check the body of the criminal.

It was soon concluded that this man had completely recovered from the inside to the outside to the state of his youth, and no other abnormalities were found. Three days later, the effect of the medicine faded, and the old man just returned to his original state without any abnormalities.

It was just that the priests of light who were in charge of the inspection did not notice that this disheveled old man had lost several white hairs in these three days.

This is normal, what is the side effect of hair loss?

Even if someone saw it, they would not think there was any problem. The prisoner was locked up in the prison without food, water, and water to take a bath. What was the point of losing hair? He was already considered to have strong vitality if he did not die of illness.

The result of the final report was that everything was normal and no side effects were found.

Rachel Angelo looked at the report and said excitedly: "Good! Good stuff! Write a letter to the imperial capital immediately to include this fountain of youth in military supplies procurement!"

Then he filled the bottle for himself, and Rachel Angelou wanted to experience the feeling of rejuvenation.
