This Lich Needs More Money

The first layer of hell has been quite lively recently.

The first batch of soul coins of Ambershu, a full 10 million, has been delivered to Zariel and Tiamat.

This is the product that Ambershu has been busy working on for "several years" in his private space.

All souls are set to various extreme emotions, such as bravery, resentment, desire, etc. But it only has the effect of extreme emotions. If it is really stuffed into a skeleton, it will probably fall apart directly, after all, the cost must be reduced.

Anyway, as long as the souls in the coins are not liberated, there will be no problem on the surface.

And Ambershu has already mentioned this to Zariel, and he is not afraid that the devil archduke will find a reason to count him as a breach of contract.

Zariel is not in the mood to dig a hole now, because He has been attracted by these soul coins. He has never seen so many soul coins piled together.

In hell, the value of souls is very precious and has a wide range of uses.

The elite troops under Zariel are often equipped with hell engines, which are a device created by hell magic that can greatly enhance the power of demons. This hell engine does not burn gasoline, but soul coins.

Many special species of demons even need to devour souls to survive, just like food, if they are short of food, they will starve to death.

It can be said that souls are not only hard currency in hell, but also consumables.

Even though there are many planes connected to hell, and souls continue to fall here to be punished and tortured, but one point of the nine layers of hell, plus daily consumption, really makes the lives of all demon lords tight.

Zariel and Tiamat looked at the tens of millions of soul coins neatly stacked, and the two demon dukes had the urge to kill each other and take the wealth for themselves.

However, in the end, both of them held back.

This is just the first phase of the lich's investment, and there will be more later. There is no point in killing each other now.

After the soul bank is opened, it will not be enough to rely on one demon duke alone, and there must be a guarantee in terms of military strength.

Therefore, the two devil dukes suppressed their greed and started to build a soul bank.

In fact, it is not that no devil has thought about building a bank. After all, there are goblin banks in the mortal world. It is technically not difficult for the hell devils to copy them. The real problem is that it is difficult to prepare the capital.

The soul consumption is too large. The Lord of Hell seems to have calculated the consumption of all the devil lords and controlled the number of soul coins to a state where everyone is not starving to death, but no one is full.

In this case, you can't take out the capital even if you want to run a bank.

Other devils are not easy to fool. If you don't have this ability, no one will deposit or loan money in your bank.

Now that the capital is available, what is lacking is talent.

If you want to find talents in this area, you can only go to Minauros, the third layer of hell.

The owner of this layer is called Mammon, who is an absolute miser and capitalist in hell. Perhaps because he had a forcibly broken up relationship with the daughter of the Lord of Hell, Mammon's life after the breakup is only about accumulating wealth.

In the whole hell, Mammon has the most soul coins and the most goblin capitalist slaves.

These goblins calculated all kinds of expenses for Mammon carefully, and calculated all kinds of contracts for him carefully, so as to make more mortals pay their souls for the contracts.

However, hell is separated from other planes by a layer, and this behavior did not allow Mammon to gain an absolute overwhelming wealth advantage, but he was more relaxed than other hell lords.

Therefore, when Zariel took the soul coins to buy those goblin capitalists from Mammon, Mammon's first reaction was that this Zariel was fake.

When did this perverted battle maniac become interested in the souls of capitalists?

But no matter who it was, the soul coins were not fake, so Mammon still sold the souls of those goblin capitalists to Zariel. However, Mammon also kept a watchful eye and quietly put his own mark on the souls of several goblin slaves so that he could monitor their actions at any time.

Then Mammon saw a huge amount of soul coins that almost made his eyes pop out through these goblins.

Mammon's first reaction was that the soul coins were fake, and Zariel, this bitch, was actually making counterfeit coins!

However, when He stuffed the soul coins into the Hell Engine, He found that the quality of the soul coins was very good and there was no problem at all.

"Where did Zariel get so many soul coins?! Did He swallow up the Tiefling Kingdom?! The so-called failure before was all fake?"

Mammon tried every way to find out, and finally, with His unremitting efforts, He finally found out that Zariel and Tiamat were going to open a soul bank.

The bank wanted to do business with all the lords of Hell, so it was originally necessary to advertise it widely, so there was no way to hide it.

Mammon was panicked.

Once this soul bank was established, He would not be the richest devil in Hell.

Mammon came to the door without thinking and asked to join the business of this soul bank.

However, Tiamat and Zariel disagreed.

Although the two devil dukes of the first layer of Hell were not good at financial management, they also knew that the bank made a lot of money, so why should they give you, Mammon, a share.

How could Mammon accept this? After losing his love, he had no other desires in life except making money. Not letting Him join would be tantamount to torturing Him, and that torture would drive Mammon's soul crazy.

Why don't we discuss this with these two people again today? Mammen would rather share less in profit distribution and join the banking business anyway.

Zariel and Tiamat were almost annoyed by him, and they discussed whether to suppress it directly with force. Anyway, Mammon couldn't defeat them together.

Finally, when the three hell lords were about to fight in darkness, Zariel's magic mirror lit up, and Wojin, transformed into the god of alchemy, appeared on the mirror.

Waking looked at the three hell lords and knew what was happening with a little induction.

All transactions cannot escape the touch of the goddess of wealth, even those that have not yet been agreed upon.

"Oh, it seems I came at the wrong time."

Zariel glared at the entangled Mammon, and then said to the magic mirror: "God of Alchemy? What do you want from me?"

Although Zariel knew that the magic mirror was a product of the God of Alchemy, he usually contacted Amber Xiu. This damn god of alchemy can turn on the magic mirror at will, without his consent at all. Now that Mammon is still there, the situation is a bit awkward.

"Just to remind you that the appointed time has come. Bribodup has fallen into a state of madness and weakness. It is time to solve His problem."

Zarrell said in surprise: "It's been solved? How?"

To be honest, Zariel only wanted Amber's money and was not prepared to fulfill his duties at all. Kidnapping a goddess who is still hiding in her own kingdom is a complete joke. Zarrell originally wanted to urge Amber Xiu to pay all the soul coins so that he could make a lot of money in hell, and then there was nothing more.

Just kidding, if the gods could solve it so easily, the gods would have been in chaos long ago.

Zariel himself can't deal with the Kuo-Toa mermaid goddess, so what can a mere mortal do?

How long has it been since then? How did it get resolved?

Zarrell didn't want to work for Amber Xiu, so he made an excuse and said, "Well, I've been a little busy recently. Maybe I need to postpone the day of action."

Mammon had already heard the problem and said quickly: "Is this kind of cooperation? Although I don't know how you obtained a large amount of soul coins, I can help with things that Zariel doesn't want to do! I'm with you He charges the same fee and guarantees no additional charges!”

Zariel gritted his teeth with hatred. He could have prostituted for free, but this guy Mammon was causing trouble.

This is what Waking is waiting for. Only with competition can there be room for bargaining.

Because of Mammon's fanatical pursuit of wealth, she couldn't wait to express her position, and Woking would naturally not let him go.

"Very good, then it seems the contract needs to be revised."

Watkin's divine power seeped into this negotiation, and the three Hell Lords were unknowingly affected.

Zarrell couldn't care less and said quickly: "Don't listen to this guy's lies. He is the greediest devil in hell. Cooperating with him is the stupidest choice."

Mammon said quickly: "But I have the best reputation! I will never find excuses to refuse the promises I made, unlike some devils who don't even have the most basic spirit of contract."

Tiamat said angrily: "This has nothing to do with you, idiot! We have agreed on a total of 20 million soul coins, and none of them belong to you. Don't try to steal our money!"

Mammon suddenly said crazily: "Ten million per person?! How can there be so many?! Damn it, Lord of Hell, I have to join this deal, I have to join, no one can stop me!"

Tiamat roared immediately and split into five ferocious dragon heads, about to attack Mammon.

Zariel also drew his long sword, looking like a two-on-one fight.

But at this moment, Watkin said doubtfully: "Ten million each? Isn't that right? I remember that the total price offered by my students was 80 million gold coins, 20 million belonged to Zariel, and 60 million belonged to Tiama. Special, isn’t it?”

The five dragon heads that were about to spit out fire suddenly froze, and then all turned to Zariel.

"Sixty million? It was only six million when you first told me!"

Zariel's expression was stunned. He never expected that the God of Alchemy would reveal the true price at this time! Damn it, the lich said he wouldn't be exposed... No, it was the God of Alchemy who said it. It had nothing to do with the lich, but he couldn't activate the contract to punish the lich!

"Zariel! You lied to me!"

Tiamat angrily rushed towards Zariel, and the five dragon heads began to spit fire crazily.

Zariel had to spread his wings to dodge everywhere. Tiamat in his crazy state was really not easy to deal with.

The dragon's flame melted everything around it, and the rocks wherever it touched instantly turned into magma. Tiamat looked like she was going to demolish the place, leaving Zariel, who was unreasonable, unable to fight back.

Waking looked at this chaotic scene and felt the long-lost feeling of being in control of the negotiations.

It's wonderful, haggling in business is always so pleasant, but it's a pity that the opponent is too rude.

When the two hell lords were about to break the magic mirror, Wojin continued: "Since Zariel concealed the offer, the contract has been terminated. Now it seems that we need to make a new offer. I think maybe we can hold a small auction, what do you three think?"
