This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 53: Cautious Amber Hugh

Alchemy City moved very quickly. All the formulas and drawings required by Amber Xiu were prepared in less than a day and sent to Amber Xiu.

 Gustavo Flynn knew Amberxiu’s abilities very well, so he did not tamper with these formulas. It can be said that he was very sincere.

In addition, Gustavo Flynn also brought a piece of news.

The Knights of Conviction have already sent envoys, and they will officially arrive in the Alchemy City in three days. With various diplomatic procedures, Amberxiu may only have about five days left, and by then the Knights of Conviction will get Intelligence from Alan Watson.

Amberxiu sat in his laboratory for several hours, briefly looked at all the drawings and materials, and then drew a lot of parchment drafts.

 Fortunately, the lich didn't have to eat, drink or urinate, so Amberxiu didn't have to waste a single minute.

Looking at the pile of drafts in front of him, Amber Xiu frowned and said: "Five days, I'm a little nervous. I hope Isabel won't let me down."

 After saying this, Amberxiu picked up a lot of things and found Isabel who was preparing potions.

 “Put aside everything you have in your hands,” Umberto said to Isabel.

Isabel was startled. The glass bottle in her hand suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke, and all the materials inside were scrapped.

But before Isabel could apologize, Amberxiu had already placed two glass boxes and several pieces of parchment in front of her.

"Stop talking and listen carefully. The next mission is very dangerous. If you make any mistakes, you will be dead."

Amberxiu’s words were serious. Isabel suddenly became nervous and quickly took out a small notebook to take notes.

Amberxiu pointed to the two glass boxes and said: "What is contained in these is the protozoal virus. Have you heard of this thing?"

Isabel shook her head and said, "No."

 “Alas, I usually read more books, this is a failed alchemy product...”

Amberxiu could only patiently explain to Isabel.

 Osteovirus was originally called a bone-healing biopharmaceutical. It was originally used to treat patients with fractures or disabilities. It can promote rapid bone regeneration. The experiment was successful at first, but later it was found that the success was too much.

People infected with this biological virus can heal quickly regardless of any bone damage. Broken bones can grow back in a few seconds. Disabled people can also regrow corresponding limb bones in a few minutes. .

But the effect was so good that after a few days all the patients who were injected with the drug began to experience serious side effects.

This virus cannot understand what fair wear and tear is.

There are more than 300 bones in the human body. Even if you lie still, your breathing and heartbeat will drive the displacement of the bones, which will naturally cause slight wear and tear. Just like running too much will injure your knees. It is not a big deal in the first place, but the osteoarthritis virus does. in spite of.

 As long as you are injured, you will grow and heal, and this growth has no control.

 At first, patients only feel joint pain, as if they have rheumatism. But over time, the joints will become stiff, and countless bone spurs will grow from the body, piercing the muscles and skin, and eventually the human body will be completely calcified into a bone statue.

 This process is irreversible and can be extremely painful.

“Your mission is to cultivate more reproductive viruses for me.”

“I have already written down the improved culture process for the virus. Follow the steps and make sure you don’t make any mistakes. You must pay special attention when transferring the culture dishes. If you accidentally get infected, you will not be saved.”

Isabel's hands were trembling. She was just an apprentice. Will she have to face such a terrible experiment so soon?

Amberxiu saw Isabel's expression and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, the virus is not very infectious, so if you pay attention, you will be fine. Even if you are infected, don't be afraid, just come to me directly."

 Isabel was a little touched just now, but she felt something was wrong and asked: "Sir, didn't you say that this virus cannot be cured?"

"Yes, there is no cure, but it doesn't matter. I can help you become an undead, so it won't hurt. As for the problem of bone hyperplasia, once you are completely dead and lose your nutritional supply, the virus will soon die. ” ˆ ˆ Isabel:…

Amberxiu patted Isabel on the shoulder and added: "Don't worry, you can choose between skeletons, zombies, ghosts, or other types. Even if you want to be a death knight, I can think of a way."

 After saying that, leaving Isabel alone, Amberxiu quickly left the laboratory.

 There is not much time, he still has many things to be busy with.

 The direct flight technique came to another laboratory. What was placed here was not materials such as bones and medicinal materials, but a bunch of large and small mechanical parts.

 Amber Xiu took out a large stack of drawings and began to select parts for assembly.

  Originally a portable magic cannon newly produced by Alchemy City, it uses wind pressure as the principle. It can be used as a cannonball by directly placing stones. After being launched, it is a purely physical attack. It can avoid many magic-type protective shields and has a first-class siege effect.

Amber Xiu has known about this thing for a long time, but the magic cannons he bought are all anti-cracking, so they are useless as soon as they are dismantled. Now with the drawings in hand, Amber Xiu quickly found the key point. The core of the magic cannon is the magic array that condenses air. This magic array is exquisitely designed, has low consumption, is amazingly efficient in compressing air, and more importantly, is stable. It is not easy for the chamber to explode.

This magic circle structure alone can be sold for millions of gold coins. If the Alchemy City hadn't been at the end of its rope, it would have been impossible to come up with this core technology.

With the detailed diagram of the magic array, it was very easy for Amber Xiu to modify it. In just a few minutes, he assembled a long tube-shaped device. A long, slender metal tube replaced the original barrel, and the magic cannon became a strangely shaped magic gun.

 With a snap of his fingers, Kazik's Type II skeleton appeared at Amberxiu's feet.

  Skillfully removed the sickle claw of the alien skeleton, and then installed the magic gun, which perfectly fit the reserved buckle on the bone.

 Under the control of Amber Xiu, the successfully changed skeleton started the barrel of the gun towards him.

　　咻!

With a soft sound, the strong wind pressure pushed the bone bullet out of the barrel and landed on Amber Xiu's shield.

 The bullet spun wildly and finally hovered in mid-air.

The alien skeleton emptied the magazine, and all the bullets were intercepted by Amber Xiu. Although he failed to break through Amber Xiu's shield, he was very satisfied with the effect.

"The power is very good, stronger than ordinary crossbow arrows, and it is simple to operate and easy to aim. There is no need to make arms for the skeleton to wind the bow... It just consumes a lot of energy. The magic circle can shoot up to nine bullets and it will consume all the energy. It's a pity, no Time Design Interchangeable Magic Magazine.”

The time is too short and it is impossible to turn all the alien skeletons into riflemen, but by selecting some and equipping them with this magic rifle, you can form a surprise army. It's a pity that there is still too little time. To deal with these paladins, no matter what kind of undead they are, they can be easily restrained. The most suitable unit should be the mercury zombies.

 But even if all the information about living mercury has been obtained, there is really no way to create this thing in a short time.

Amberxiu quickly started to assemble more magic guns. In addition to these, he still had a lot of things to prepare. It was necessary to prevent the paladins from even entering the castle gate.

At this time, the headless brother walked in with a smile on his face and said to Amber Xiu: "Brother Diga, Ona and I have already reached an agreement. The bar will be transferred directly to you, and she is also ready to move... Well, you are here What are you busy with?”

Amberxiu said without raising his head: "The Knights of Conviction are coming soon, shouldn't I be prepared to deal with it?"

 He said confidently: "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Amberxiu said speechlessly: "Of course I know you are here. You will never watch others kill me, right?"

The headless brother patted his chest and said, "Of course, I don't pay attention to just a few paladins."

Amberxiu said: "But even if you protect me with all your strength, I still only have one head left."

The headless brother fell silent immediately. The prophecy was indeed quite scary, and he quickly put away his contempt.

"That pale-skinned woman is most likely one of these paladins. Gareth, even if the future is doomed, my head will definitely be taken off, but I hope that my life box can be preserved. You It’s my best hope and guarantee, but I don’t want you to have any accidents due to negligence.”

Amberxiu put down the parts in his hands, put his hands on the shoulders of the headless brother, and said very seriously: "Gareth, my phylactery is left to you, please do your best!"
