This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 14 The Gate to the New World

 “Poor headless brother, what exactly does marriage bring to a man?”

Amberxiu sighed with emotion, feeling lucky for his decision to stay single until now.

That Bone Dragon sister is actually a member of the Mourning Poets Society. This is really shocking. Amber Xiu has never seen this person speak in a group chat.

The chat group behind the Code of the Undead does not have a list of group friends. If you don’t talk in the group, no one will really know. Amberxiu has only been a member of the organization for a short time and has only met four or five names. He doesn’t know how many members there are in the Mourning Poets Society.

 Without a moment of mourning for the fate of the headless brother, Amberxiu immediately entered the experimental state again.

According to the requirements of Apoptotic Rose, Amber Xiu needs to design an undead unit that can attack the Lion Empire head-on. This is a very difficult task.

 The Lion Empire is the strongest human empire, with the largest number of light priests and paladins in the continent, as well as the largest number of legendary level experts.

 The walls of the imperial capital are blessed with countless defensive magics, especially to restrain the undead.

Even though Amber Xiu is a legendary lich, if he dares to appear within the limits of the Lion Imperial Capital, the anti-undead magic on the city wall alone can smash him into pieces without the help of those legendary powerhouses. The strongest empire in the mainland is not just a boast, it is built through countless glorious achievements.

 General undead troops will be destroyed by just getting close to them.

Until Master Morgan's "Research on Ghost Reproduction" was published, this issue was finally given a final word - ghosts can also reproduce.

 Among the undead units, zombies are the most special type. It's not that they are very powerful, but that zombies can't even be considered undead to a certain extent.

 The most obvious feature is that this new soul is not restrained by light magic and does not seem to be considered undead by the laws of the world.

 Thanks to the strong backbone of the editor-in-chief of "Legendary Curse" at that time, he adhered to the bottom line of a scholar in the face of the oppression of the Lion Empire, so that Zombie technology could have enough time to spread. Although Master Morgan's manuscript has been destroyed and many details need to be figured out by everyone, the Zombie technology has not been lost.

This is a very special magical construct created by the great legendary lich Master Morgan. The famous "Research on Ghost Reproduction" is his work.

 Whether souls can give birth to offspring was once an academic problem in the world of the undead, and countless necromancers argued fiercely about it every year.

 The zombies created with this special soul are the most special type of undead soldiers. They have almost no undead aura and cannot be restrained by light magic.

It is a pity that after the zombies were created by Master Morgan, this senior in the world of the undead had his phylactery smashed by the Lion Empire, and ordered the "Legendary Curse" to take back the honor given to Master Morgan, and even demanded that all zombies be destroyed Relevant research information.

Although the conditions are extremely harsh and the success rate is very low, after tests by countless necromancers, this result can be reproduced, and the new souls bred from ghosts seem to have become a race independent of the undead.

 Originally, Amberxiu was planning to get some puppets to solve the problem of the undead being restrained.

Amberxiu naturally knows the technology of making zombie figurines, but he has not studied it in depth before. This subject is too high-end. New lichs like him don't have enough knowledge of undead magic. Forcibly studying it will be a waste of time.

 But now Amber Xiu dug out the dusty book "Research on Ghost Reproduction" from the bookshelf. This is the core basis for the creation of zombies. Today, he must read this book thoroughly.

"Hey, it started with the reproduction of living humans. That's really...hiss, this illustration is so detailed..." Amberxiu became obsessed with learning. Researching new technologies was his second hobby besides making money.

Just after turning a few pages, Isabel appeared in Amberxiu's study tremblingly.

“Lord Lich, the rock softening potion for reclamation has been prepared. My brother has brought back a total of one hundred and twenty-three people in the past few days. There is no room in the castle, and the food is a little short..."

Isabel carefully reported the results of her recent work.

Amberxiu put down the magic book in his hand and said to Isabel: "You moved very quickly. You brought back hundreds of people in just a few days?"

In the past few days, Isabel's brother Raul has been helping Amberxiu collect the fleeing free people. Although the alien skeletons can only be used at night, there have been too many people running away due to the tax crisis recently, so if you just promote Amberxiu's "preferential policies", naturally many desperate free people will come to seek refuge.

Anyway, you will die if you go back, and you will die if you are caught by the lord. So what's wrong with trying your luck in the lich's territory?

 Seeing the vast wasteland behind the castle and the promise that everyone would have land, these free people could not help but praise the benevolent Lich Lord, who was simply kinder than the God of Light.

Just after staying for a few days, the patience of these free people was almost exhausted.

 Mainly because they were crowded in this gloomy old castle all day long, and the legendary Lord Lich never showed up, they began to have a lot of worries. Will the promised land be really given? How will food and drink be provided during the reclamation period? How will reclamation be carried out without tools, seeds, or livestock?

These problems will continue to erode their sanity and make people restless, and they will intensify this uneasiness by repeatedly infecting people like a virus.

Now the situation has almost reached an unstoppable level, so Isabel mustered up the courage to report to Amber Xiu.

"Well, the progress is very good. Now that the potion has been prepared, we can officially open up the land today. Make a list of them, separate young adults from women and children. These free people should have occupations such as blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. Careful statistics are needed to divide the land and allocate medicines, but they are required to work cooperatively during reclamation. If anyone behaves selfishly, such as fighting for land, falsely reporting the number of people, taking more medicines, fabricating career information, etc., do not waste it. Time, just rush out..."

Amberxiu kept talking, and Isabel quickly took out a notebook and quickly wrote it down. This is a good habit for an alchemy apprentice. Anything the teacher says may become an opportunity for you to rise to fame, so you must always be ready to take notes.

 Isabel wrote quickly, recording Amberxiu's instructions verbatim.

 After writing several pages of parchment, she discovered that Amberxiu had a detailed and clear plan for the resettlement of the people. Is this something that lichs usually study?

Isabel began to become curious about this benevolent lich. For humans, undead creatures are usually described with words such as dirty, despicable, and evil. However, after getting along with each other for the past few days, this lich behaved indifferently and kindly. Apart from being strict, there doesn't seem to be anything evil about it.

Furthermore, to speak without prejudice, Amberxiu is the most knowledgeable and wise scholar Isabel has ever seen, and his attainments in alchemy are unparalleled by Isabel's teachers.

“Could it be that the world has some misunderstanding about lichs?”

Isabel curiously glanced at the things on Amber's desk, wanting to see what kind of magic this benevolent witch master usually studied.

As a result, Isabel's beautiful eyes widened with just one glance. The girl who was ignorant about certain things seemed to have opened the door to a new world at this moment.
