This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 134 It’s all about scheming

Hoffman Ironfist has completely given up the idea of ​​continuing to snipe the Elf Queen. Everyone is ready to withdraw their troops and go home. The dwarves should just follow the trend.

If something unexpected happens to Catherine now, the elves will change their strategy, and maybe they won't be so easy to talk to.

Although this informal meeting could not implement anything, after this exchange, Hoffman Iron Fist understood that the turning point for the dwarves had really come.

If the territory of the Alchemy City can be completely swallowed up, it will be equivalent to doubling the population of the Dwarf Kingdom and acquiring a systematic alchemy industry.

 Once, this was something unique to Alchemy City, and other kingdoms could only look at it with envy.

 The production cost of the same healing potion in the Alchemy City is half that of other kingdoms, while the output is more than ten times that of other kingdoms.

But there is nothing you can do about envy. This is a production line that took countless alchemists many years to build. Other kingdoms do not have this talent reserve, and it is useless to give them the blueprints.

With this alchemical industrial system, the dwarf kingdom will be able to produce large quantities of magic potions and enchanted equipment. Coupled with this doubled population, the military strength of the dwarf kingdom will be doubled.

 In this way, even if the Lion Empire breaks through the death line, the Dwarf Kingdom will still have the strength to fight again.

Hoffman Iron Fist couldn't wait to report the good news. There is no better result than this.

 After Hoffman Iron Fist left, Catherine said strangely: "Aren't you afraid that he will refuse if you open your mouth like a lion?"

The price offered by Amboxiu is a bit outrageous. The dwarf kingdom was beaten to a state of collapse and retreat by Ryan. How much manpower and material resources would be spent on migration? Amboxiu's request of tens of billions of gold coins at this time is not consistent with common sense. .

"I originally wanted to ask for a huge price, and I didn't think they could afford it, but now looking at Hoffman Iron Fist's reaction, I'm afraid we have underestimated the financial resources of the dwarf kingdom." Amber Xiu touched his chin and couldn't help it. Zhu asked: "Is it really so profitable to dig and rob graves?"

 Catherine asked again: "Why do you want to work for us elves?"

"Aren't you going to ask the dwarves for wages? I sold myself to the elves for love and peace. The dwarves have gained huge benefits from this. Isn't it reasonable to ask them for some work compensation?" Amberxiu replied.

 Catherine had nothing to say. The lich in front of her would really do anything for money.

But Amberxiu, who was just thinking about making money, suddenly changed his expression and said to Catherine: "Don't you think it's a little strange for Hoffman to come this time?"

Catherine showed a puzzled expression and asked: "What's strange? As the other party to the negotiation, there is nothing wrong with coming to inquire about the news after I was attacked, right?"

"That being said, I still feel something is wrong. He seemed to have another purpose when he came, but he seemed to have given up on this idea when he left...Forget it, people who play politics have dirty minds. Such people have complicated minds. , I can’t even guess.”

Amberxiu didn't pay too much attention to it, because it shouldn't have much impact on him, otherwise he would have felt it.

Everything is ready, we only have to wait for two days to sign the contract, and then we can wait to collect the money.

Amberxiu was happy. Although this melee still caused a lot of casualties, the number was much smaller than the real battle between the two countries, maybe just a fraction.

Not only that, Amber Xiu will also help the elves solve the problem of magic addiction, so that tens of millions of elves will not die in pain from the torture of magic addiction.

Taken all these things together, Amberxiu is really worthy of the slogan "Love and Peace". I don't know how many lives have been saved and how much pain has been avoided.

 Calculating it this way, I’m afraid the Goddess of Pain is already screaming and scratching and rolling all over the floor.

When he thought of this, Amber Xiu felt that his soul became clear. In the words of his previous life, his thoughts became clear, and his life felt sublimated.

Hoffman Iron Fist quickly returned to the castle that was about to be built with excitement.

 Hand can’t wait to tell the dwarf king this news, but there has been no response from the other side of the magic communication. The dwarf king may not be able to support his body and is resting.

At this time, no one dared to disturb the moody dwarf king. Hoffman Ironfist had no choice but to leave a message to the dwarf king.

As he was preparing for the next formal negotiation, he didn't expect the magic circle to light up uncontrollably, and an image of a ferocious dragon's head appeared on the magic circle.

Hoffman Iron Fist was shocked and angry. This was originally a single contact magic circle, but when he didn't take the initiative to contact the three-headed dog family, how did the other party transmit the image?

Geronimo said in a low voice: "Don't be so surprised. The dragon's control over magic is superior to that of all living things. It is not difficult to control this magic circle. I just sensed that you were using the communication magic circle, so I took it. You don’t mind if we connect both sides, right?”

Hoffman Iron Fist wanted to cut off the communication immediately and leave this place.

He has already got what he wants from the elves and does not want to have anything to do with this group of believers in hell.

But most people who believe in **** are lunatics. The half-dragon in front of him gives Hoffman Iron Fist an extremely cruel feeling. If the communication is disconnected now, there is no telling what the other party will do. Hoffman Iron Fist endured the disgust in his heart and said to Geronimo: "Then why are you looking for me suddenly?"

"Of course it's the previous cooperation. Didn't you say that you would help me create opportunities to catch the lone Elf Queen? Isn't it time to inform me of the time and place?" Geronimo asked.

Hoffman Iron Fist shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. I went to see the Elf Queen today, but unfortunately, I couldn't lure her out. It seems that our cooperation will be terminated."

Geronimo stared at Hoffman Iron Fist with a pair of vertical pupils, giving him a chilling feeling.

“End the cooperation? Just throw us away after using us in such a simple sentence? Isn’t it too easy to say it?” Geronimo said.

Hoffman Iron Fist snorted and said: "No chance means no chance. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. If you have the ability, break into the castle and kill them all."

Geronimo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since you said so, the cooperation will be terminated. In this case, I believe the elves' revenge will come soon, and we are ready to leave this place."

Hoffman Iron Fist breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if these **** believers left, and he would save himself trouble.

Hoffman Ironfist said to Geronimo: "It is your freedom to leave, and I wish you good luck."

"Haha, it's not that simple. Migration requires huge costs. Your Excellency, Hand of the King, is it not too much to give some support to former allies?" Geronimo said.

The words of this threat made Hoffman Iron Fist feel more at ease.

Hell believers are not good people. If Geronimo left so happily, Hoffman Iron Fist would be a little suspicious. Now they are asking for money, which is a good thing. They are more likely to leave sincerely.

Hoffman Iron Fist didn’t want to waste time and said nonchalantly: “How much do you want?”

Geronimo said: "Not much, half a million gold coins. I need it tonight. It's right here in my territory. You should know the location."

Hoffman Iron Fist was a little disdainful. He had just finished negotiating a tens of billions of transactions with Amber Xiu, and the figure of half a million gold coins was really not worth mentioning.

But the Three-Headed Dog family was originally just an ordinary little nobleman, and they didn't have much to offer with all their wealth. It was normal to ask for 500,000 gold coins.

 “Okay, I’ll have someone deliver the gold coins.”

"No, you'd better come in person, because I still have a gift to give you. I don't know, are you interested in the Gate of Hell?" Geronimo said.

 “Gate to Hell? You actually want to give up this thing?!” Hoffman Iron Fist said in shock.

"Of course, although the Gate of Hell can be moved before it is opened, the farther the distance, the more complicated the rituals required for movement. I not only have to leave the scope of the Alchemy City, but also cross half of the continent. Stay away from the territory of the dwarves, elves, and the Lion Empire. Rather than throwing it away, I would rather leave it to you."

“Your Majesty Hand of the King, I believe you will use these two gates of **** in the right place.” Geronimo said.

"You are willing to give me the gate of hell? Do you think I will believe it?"

 Hell believers would not be so kind, there must be a conspiracy here.

Geronimo didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and said to Hoffman Iron Fist: "Of course I won't give it to you so easily. Aren't you at war with Ryan? Ryan has already occupied a small half of the desert. I have only one request. Open the gate of **** in Ryan's territory and let these humans experience the meaning of hell.

"This is the request of the master I believe in. You know, if you want to say which kingdom has the worst relationship with hell, it must be Ryan. This is also a good thing for you dwarves, right?"

Hoffman Iron Fist hesitated. Although he still felt that what the half-dragon said was not entirely true, the two gates of **** were indeed very attractive. If these two **** gates are used properly, they can hold back the Lion Empire for a long time and make the dwarves' retreat and migration more leisurely.

After hesitating again and again, Hoffman Iron Fist nodded and said, "Okay, I will personally deliver the gold coins."

Geronimo opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and laughed.

 “Hahaha. Then I will wait for you in the castle.”

 The magic communication was disconnected, and Hoffman Ironfist left the secret room, and then he found his personal guard captain.

Hoffmann Iron Fist said to the guard captain: "Tonight I have a special mission. I need you to use transformation to transform into me to **** a batch of gold coins..."
