This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 12 The son-in-law of the Gulong family

 Amber Xiu looked at the trembling Isabel. He originally wanted to praise her a few times, but he estimated that he would be able to scare her into fainting if he opened his mouth.

 She did not have this attitude before.

 Haha, this human being looks at his face.

With a wave of his hand, Isabel escaped from the laboratory as if relieved. Amberxiu very solemnly placed two bottles of living mercury solution on the experimental table.

Soundproof barrier, anti-detection barrier, prophecy counterattack... After a series of magics were cast, the laboratory was completely sealed by Amber Xiu, and even the air could not flow.

As far as the lich can bear it, any living person will be suffocated here.

  Feeling that everything was ready, Amberxiu opened one of the bottles of living mercury solution.

 The bottle of five hundred gold coins.

The bottle is as big as a person’s head, and it’s full of weight, but it’s a pity that it’s filled with real mercury.

Mercury is not valuable at all, but compared to the living mercury in it, it is really a bargain.

Took out various tools to separate the mercury, and Amberxiu obtained living mercury that was not much larger than a fist, and it was also completely inactive living mercury.

“You are so evil. This bottle of five hundred gold coins has absolutely no genuine substance at all.”

But now what Amber Xiu wants is the body.

Amberxiu stretched out his fingers, and the magic power condensed between his fingers, and then turned into a shimmer and fell on the lifeless mercury solution.

 Necromancy·Manipulation of corpses.

With standard spell-casting actions and a perfect magic structure, as a legendary-level lich, even the corpse of a giant dragon would have to blink under the influence of Amber Xiu's spell.

However, the mercury solution showed no reaction at all.

The spell to control the corpse fell on this thing, and it exploded into a ball of light, and the magic power spread out without leaving any trace.

 “Fuck! Magic resistance?! Is it so outrageous?!”

Amberxiu thought about many possibilities of failure. Even if the mercury solution could not be judged as a corpse, he could accept it. What he never expected was the magic resistance.

"Are you crazy? What on earth do those lunatics in Alchemy City want to do?!"

 Creating new life is already an outrageous proposition, but the Alchemy City has been working tirelessly to do this for hundreds of years, and Amber Xiu is not unacceptable.

But to create a mercury slime with strong magic resistance, have their brains been kissed by the Goblin God?

Magic resistance is a very rare characteristic. Except for some naturally noble races, such as the high elves that Amberxiu hates most, they are born with very strong magic resistance. It is difficult for ordinary magic to work on them. Especially charm magic, which is directly immune.

The same is true for giant dragons. It is difficult for magic that is not a legendary level to break through the defense of dragon scales. The most popular dragon-slaying magic is to set yourself an explosive fire spell, and wait for the dragon to swallow you in to explode the dragon's internal organs. . But later on, this trick became more common, and even the dragon clan's inherited memory added this: "Humans, cannot be eaten raw!" When giant dragons eat humans, they are cooked through dragon flames before they are eaten into their mouths.

 Back to the topic, magic resistance is a very rare characteristic. Slime itself does not have magic resistance. It must be a lunatic in Alchemy City who doesn't know how to get it.

"They definitely didn't intend to create low-level creatures like slimes at the beginning. Later, they failed, and ended up using false propaganda to cover up their true plan. You are sick. Are you trying to blaspheme again? It's like disgusting Qizu Shi. The tower is not enough, do you want more?”

Amberxiu felt that he had accidentally been involved in the **** relationship between the Alchemy City and the God of Alchemy. You said your gods would kill them directly, but if you don't kill them, you will humiliate them for hundreds of years, for fear that you will not be able to raise enemies who kill the gods. Come.

 Sure enough, the thoughts of gods cannot be guessed by ordinary people. Although he cursed a lot, Amberxiu would not give up. I've spent several thousand gold coins, I can't just waste it.

Several more magics were cast, but without exception, they were offset by the magic resistance of this mercury solution. However, Amber Xiu also tested and found that the magic resistance of this thing is not as terrifying as the dragon, plus the effect of the legendary halo. After that, he could still successfully control the body of the mercury slime.

After all, it is a legend. Even if Amber is a little watered down, the strengthening effect on magic is still there. Using the power of the legend, you can break through the magic resistance of mercury slime.

But the magic to control the corpse is very awkward to use. This thing is just a puddle of mercury, and I don’t know what the Alchemy Association did to it. It has no organs of ordinary slimes. To Amber Xiu, it is a complete It was such a strange thing that he had difficulty even controlling the movement of the mercury slime.

And after inspection, Amberxiu came to a conclusion.

This mercury slime is a complete failure. They created a deformed, completely soulless empty shell. It is not so much a living thing as a corpse that has not completely died after the soul has been extracted.

 No, this description is not enough.

This is a machine that is missing many parts, and the operating system was not even written when it left the factory. When it was disassembled, only the screw holes of the motherboard were left inside, but there was not even a trace of the motherboard.

 So these produced mercury slimes have no reaction and only rely on biological instinct to devour metal. And because of the lack of organs in the body, even if it is fed regularly, it will not be able to live for a long time, and it will only die slowly.

It’s a pity that this thing has no soul, otherwise, it will be a mass-produced “tortured soul”, and the Lich simply loves this kind of thing. In the world of the undead, this kind of tortured soul is the hard currency, which is more useful than gold coins.

“It’s a pity that my artificial soul is also a fake of Mo De’s soul. It does not have the characteristics of a soul that produces resentment after being tortured. Otherwise, it would be a way to make money.”

Amberxiu is still thinking about how to make money with this thing. If it doesn't work out, he has to restore the metal devouring effect of living mercury. Otherwise, no matter what the Headless Horseman tells him, the deposit has already been collected and there is no possibility of refunding the money.

 After studying for a long time, Amberxiu came to a conclusion. He knew too little about creatures like slime, so he had several ideas for transformation in his mind, but he couldn't deduce them.

He doesn't have much material on hand, so he can't waste it casually.

 “It’s better to check the information.”

Amberxiu opened the Code of the Undead, opened their lich chat group, and entered this sentence.

　　【Ultraman Tiga: Dear seniors, does anyone know more about creatures like slimes? I would like to ask some questions. 】

　　【The Headless Horseman's Crown: You boy, are you trying to trick me with a lie? 】

 Amberson:…

How could he tell something was wrong with just one sentence? The majestic headless horseman, the undead without even a head, you are so smart that you are sorry for your race!

　　Underestimating the sensitivity of the Headless Horseman to private money, Amberxiu could only answer honestly.

　　【Ultraman Tiga: It's not about counterfeiting, it's about trying to find a way to fulfill the order. There is a big financial problem in the Alchemy City, and prices are rising across the board. 】

Amberxiu told what he saw and heard, but concealed the issue of selling fake products for testing. He just said that he couldn't order it for the time being, so he planned to figure out how to get the mercury slime on his own.

Unexpectedly, after reading Amber Xiu’s story, the Headless Horseman immediately replied domineeringly: [Isn’t it just to add money? I'll add it! The most important thing is to be fast! 】

 Amberson was shocked by this heroic speech.

 Brother Wutou, how much private money has your son-in-law hidden? !

Amber Xiudu began to think about whether he should find a bone dragon to feed him.
