This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 246: Ryan’s Secret

Amberson has no way of knowing about the battle in the Underdark.

 He is very busy now, because the parts for the magic essence refining furnace have been delivered, and large and small wooden boxes are piled up in half of the castle.

“It’s really the most advanced magic essence refining furnace. Doesn’t this old guy Flynn want to take advantage of the price difference?”

After opening a few boxes to inspect the goods, Amberxiu found that these were really all good parts, and there were no shoddy parts at all.

 Gustavo Flynn's already dark skin turned even darker after seeing Amber Xiu unboxing and inspecting the goods. He said angrily: "Do you think I am a profiteer like you?"

“Haha, who tricked me into leaving the castle last time and then asked the paladin to raid my hometown?”

Gustavo Flynn snorted coldly. He was used to Amber's method of settling old scores, and he didn't bother to refute anymore. Anyway, the lich wanted money, even if he won his quotation in a quarrel. It will be a gold coin cheaper, so it is better to save effort.

Amberxiu did not pursue the issue any further and decisively changed the subject: "Flynn, you finally succeeded in becoming the president. What are your plans next?"

“Let’s stabilize the dwarf king first. That guy Dole Baker tricked me once in the end. The relationship between the parliament and the kingdom is not very good now.”

Amberxiu was going to ask Heki Stone to talk to the dwarf king. The development of alchemy cannot be separated from the support of the kingdom. If the dwarf kingdom can be built into a new alchemy city, his teacher's power can be restored. .

He also wanted his old rival to be the vice-president, but the other party refused outright and even quit the Alchemist Council.

"You're crazy. What kind of persecution delusions do you have? Am I that kind of person? If you don't believe it, just don't do anything in the past few days and see if the Dwarf King will change his attitude toward you. If it works, give me money. ”

 Isn’t this deliberately provoking a conflict between the Parliament and the Kingdom?

As a result, not long after he became president, a bunch of chiefs from various departments in the kingdom came to investigate, either for tax or security inspections, which made Gustavo Flynn sweat profusely.

Gustavo Flynn thought that the other party could not afford to lose, but later he figured out what he meant.

This is obviously intentional. The Parliament has just been established and has not even started to promote alchemy. Where can we check the taxes? Where does the security need to be checked come from?

Why should this Lich be talking to the Dwarf King? After the last peace talks between the two countries, all the King's Hands of the Dwarf Kingdom died, and Amberxiu is the key person in charge of the peace talks. It's already considered a big deal if the Dwarf King doesn't trouble him. So generous.

 “Just you?” Gustavo Flynn said disdainfully.

 When the votes were finally counted, Gustavo Flynn looked calm on the surface, but in fact his palms were soaked with sweat.

The Dwarf Kingdom is dissatisfied with Gustavo Flynn. He must find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the Parliament will be unable to move forward.

"Okay, okay, even if I give it away for free, considering the quality of your magic essence refining furnace, I will help you for free." Amberxiu said.

Now that Dole Baker has lost and has withdrawn directly, it means that the kingdom's influence on the Alchemist Council has been greatly reduced.

“Hehe, I have many friends. Just wait. I believe there will be results soon.”

"As for the Dwarf King, I can write a letter of recommendation for you, which may be of some use." Amberxiu said.

 “Asshole, I didn’t even say I wanted to give you money!” Gustavo Flynn wouldn’t be fooled.

"hehe."

Dol Bek was originally the court alchemist of the Dwarf King, and represented the kingdom’s position to a certain extent.

 Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and he was finally allowed to take the position of president.

With the support of Isabel, Gustavo Flynn really got the votes of most of the young alchemists, and finally won his old opponent with a very slim advantage.

Gustavo Flynn thought for a moment and then suddenly asked: "You bastard, do you want to wait for me to get through the relationship with the Dwarf King again before you jump out and say that you wrote a letter to provide help? In fact, what's wrong with you?" He didn’t do anything, just to defraud me of my money!”

Gustavo Flynn doesn’t refute or agree, it’s free, right? Just pretend you don’t know and just keep doing what you should do anyway.

　　Although the two finally broke up on bad terms, their cooperation will not be interrupted.

Amberxiu handed over the youth potion to Gustavo Flynn for production. He gave him the formula and everything, and he was not afraid of him cheating him, because the main material of the potion was the special mucus that kept pouring out of the castle. This is a monopoly on materials. You can’t make the recipe even if you give it to others.

 Gustavo Flynn can find a ready-made alchemical assembly line and can promote production immediately. Isabel only needs to provide raw materials in regular rations, and this medicine can be mass-produced immediately.

 But Amberxiu set a rule for agents. When promoting potions, they must deliberately mention the history of the development of alchemy. It doesn’t need to be said much, other than to mention the impact Alchemy has had on the world over the years while bragging about the product.

On the surface, he is bragging that this potion can change the world, but in fact he is constantly instilling in his customers the concept that alchemy can change the world.

From the day the first bottle of vitality potion was invented, the limits of the human body were broken; from the day magic construction science appeared, the mechanical structure of the entire continent changed; from the day the magic power furnace was invented, productivity became qualitative Change...Alchemy has long been inseparable from the world. Amberxiu just reminded people and reminded them of this matter.

Isabel's potion is just one of them. Amberxiu needs to use more products to open up the market. Perhaps he can also bind his brand to the God of Alchemy. If everyone says "Praise Alchemy" by the way when using the potion, "God", maybe the teacher can be upgraded to a powerful god.

Don’t underestimate this simple sentence. Even if you don’t mean it sincerely and just say it habitually, it is enough to generate the power of belief.

Just imagine how many people around the world need to use alchemy products. A little adds up to a lot, and the combined power of faith is enough to make all the gods envious and jealous.

 But the Youth Potion alone is not enough. This thing looks cheap, but the price of thousands of gold coins is aimed at nobles. This thing does not cheat the poor.

 Therefore, Amberxiu still needs to seize the market of ordinary people, and needs an alchemy product that everyone can afford and use.

 I can't think of it for a while, so Amberxiu can only find time to study it slowly.

With the magic element refining furnace in hand, the formation is now complete. The next task is to return to the dungeon and start building your own alchemy factory.

After saying goodbye to Isabel, who was a little reluctant to leave, Amberxiu returned to the desert, but instead of going home, he came to Huggie Stone's underground city again.

The doorkeeper was still the same dwarf vampire from before. When he saw Amber Xiu this time, he crawled on the ground to report the news, and no longer dared to say anything about the taste of blood.

 After a while, Amberxiu was invited into the underground city of Heki Stone. This city was not as big as Amberxiu's, but it was equally empty and filled with gold.

Herkey Stone has no sense of aesthetics and likes to pile gold all over the room. When Amberxiu walked into the golden hall, he almost couldn't help but summon the Golden Throne to **** wildly.

Hucky Stone noticed something was wrong in Amberxiu's eyes, and quickly said: "Old friend, if you have any questions, just come to me in the Code of the Dead. Why do you always like to come to me?"

This dwarf vampire has decided to find a house without gold to entertain this lich next time. Otherwise, he is really afraid that he will go crazy and steal all his treasures. Heki Stone probably can't defeat this lich. .

Amberxiu said very frankly: "The temptation here is too great for me. I'd better get down to business as soon as possible. I'm here to ask you for a favor. I have a friend who is jealous of the dwarf king..."

Amberxiu elaborated on Gustavo Flynn's problem, but Heggie Stone said awkwardly: "It's not that I deliberately shirk it, but the relationship between the Dwarf King and me is not as close as I thought."

 “He is your blood descendant!” Amberxiu said.

Anyone bitten by a vampire will obey the vampire's orders. Even if there is no master-servant contract like a brand, the Dwarf King and Huggie Stone are true blood relatives who have exchanged blood, a relationship closer than that of father and son.

"Haha, we do have closeness by blood, but how much family affection does a king have in his heart? Even if I were his biological father, are there very few cases of killing my father to fight for the throne in history? On issues that have nothing to do with politics, I don't care about this The king's influence is okay, but when it comes to politics, he is ruthless. "

　　That said, Amberxiu didn't force it. Anyway, it was just a favor. I believe that Gustavo Flynn would also find a way to open up the relationship on his own. The probability of both parties working together is higher.

Huggie Stone also agreed casually, and was about to ask Amberxiu for some hard work money, when Amberxiu said: "By the way, when are you going to ask questions about Arthur Lane?"

 As soon as he heard this, Huggie Stone forgot all about the hard work and expense.

Archeology is the life of dwarves, probably because he was exposed to it since he was a child. Huggie Stone was very interested in history and once aspired to be a historian. It turned out that the dwarves cared more about the gold in the ancient tombs rather than who the owner of the tomb was. who.

Hodge Stone was also forced to be realistic. He spent his whole life digging graves and had no time to study history carefully.

After going around in circles until he became a vampire, Huggie Stone picked up his childhood interests. As time went by, he became a veritable historian.

Arthur Lane has extraordinary significance to him. Money is not important anymore. He just wants to know the truth of history.

"I have almost sorted out the relevant information. How about today, I will go to your place to handle this matter later. By the way, the question you asked me before, regarding the development of Ryan's racial discrimination, I also A lot of information has been compiled, and according to my research, maybe racial discrimination really has nothing to do with Arthur Lane.”

Hodge Stone had a whole box of parchment brought in and delivered to Umbershoe.

"If my research is correct, the source of everything lies in Arthur Lane's son." said Huggie Stone.
