This Lich Needs More Money

Hell is not a good place. It tortures every sinner equally.

The lower-level devils have a hard life. They are either killed or enslaved. The higher-level devils also have a hard life. The bloody battle is a continuous torture. Many times when there is a shortage of troops, the Grand Dukes of Hell will force conscription.

No one can escape this conscription. Any lord of Hell needs to provide equipment or soldiers according to orders, otherwise he will be caught on the battlefield.

Even the Grand Dukes, as the supreme rulers of Hell, have to consider all kinds of troubles, otherwise they will face the punishment of the laws of Hell.

Zariel can't even take revenge. He must let Bayer, the traitor, live. Even if he is trapped in the Blood River Fortress, every time he sees him, he will think of the painful memory of being tortured.

Hell tortures every sinner equally, but the situation has changed slightly recently.

In Melina's territory, there was a brief feeling that the devils seemed to be able to lie down.

Here, it seems that you can eat without much effort, and you don't have to worry about a devil coming over to cut your neck and use your flesh and blood as a spellcasting material.

Many sinners who have just entered hell come here to seek refuge, and soon they live a stable life of working comfortably and lying down.

Let these devils get used to the magic mirror system.

Melina's territory has established complete trading rules. Every devil will store soul fragments or soul coins in the magic mirror system and will never carry them with them.

This directly led to the disappearance of thieves.

You can't open the authentication after stealing someone else's magic mirror, and you can't take away the other party's soul coins. Of course, hard robbery still happens occasionally. After all, the guards who maintain order cannot prevent all crimes from happening, not to mention that many of them are bribed.

This is the evil nature of the devil, which is really hard to avoid.

But anyway, this place can be regarded as a "paradise" in hell.

However, this comfort is based on Amber Xiu's reverse situation.

Amber Xiu, hiding in the magic mirror, looked at a lot of data and felt a little headache.

Under normal circumstances, Melina's territory should be able to support more than 800,000 demons, but as a large number of demons began to lie down, the output of soul fragments in the territory began to decrease.

This is not because Blood River Fortress made a move when exchanging territory rights, but because the laws of hell are at work.

This is a place to punish sinners, not for you to lie down.

The more demons enjoy peace that they should not enjoy, the laws of hell will naturally play a role.

Eat too much, right? Then don't eat at all.

This is hell.

The lords of hell are not fools. It is easy to win people's hearts by giving some benefits on the surface. Those heroes who go to hell are not unable to do it, but they really can't do it.

In other planes, you can get a lot of support by buying people's hearts.

In hell, if you buy people's hearts and let the demons live well, you are against the world, and all kinds of bad things will happen to you.

Although Amber's spiritual involution plan has been recognized by hell, it has not yet reached the level of involution. The demons enjoy lying down first. No matter what happens in the future, this group of devils who enjoy life has triggered the punishment mechanism of the law of hell.

Now it is just to reduce the production of soul fragments. If Amberxiu doesn't whip these devils quickly, there will be more troubles waiting for him.

This is a world that does not allow you to be good to others, and Amberxiu cannot be an enemy of the world for the time being.

During this period, he has paid a lot of souls to feed the devils pouring into Melina's territory.

"Sure enough, the will of the world is not so easy to reverse. It may not be easy to end the bloody battle."

A mere territory, whether it is a loss or a profit, Amberxiu did not take it too seriously, because the Hell Bank has already started business. Mammon began to work hard under the guidance of Amberxiu, and absorbed a lot of funds in a short time.

And these soul coins were used by Mammon to provoke the lord war in the third layer of hell.

A large amount of lending allowed the lords to upgrade their territories, from soldiers to equipment, to large magic circles, etc.

If your neighbor hoards grain and you hoard guns, then your neighbor is your granary. Everyone knows this rule. It was not so easy to stock up guns before, but now it is easy to borrow money. If others lend you money, you are doomed.

So the fighting in the third layer of hell has been quite lively recently, almost like a small bloody battle.

Although countless borrowers died and caused bad debts, Amber's money printing machine issued currency indefinitely, and also stuffed the magic mirror system into the hands of all the lords of the third layer of hell.

In a short period of time, the amount of soul coins handled by the bank exceeded the amount of Mammon's previous hundred years.

It is difficult to calculate whether this account is a loss or a profit, but Mammon's control over the third layer of hell is rising sharply. Now whoever wants to win will win, and he can mobilize it however he wants.

This is entirely due to the special nature of soul coins. This thing is food, arms, and currency. It is an equivalent that is closely connected with all demons.

Mammon now understood why Amber said that he was too narrow-minded. After owning the Hell Bank, there was really no need to worry about the interest, because now the world laws of the entire third layer of hell were applauding his behavior, making Mammon feel that he had become stronger, which was an effect that could not be achieved even if he swallowed hundreds of millions of soul coins.

Now Mammon did not ask how much the bank made, but only asked which hell lord in the third layer of hell had not loaned him money.

He does not allow any lord who does not owe him money to exist. Everyone is in debt, everyone is a slave, and no matter how hard they try to roll inward, they will always be slaves.

What a wonderful feeling!

And Mammon's "friends" saw this situation and began to increase their efforts to promote the Hell Bank and the supporting magic mirror system. The Nine Hells began to be rapidly corrupted by Amberxiu, so that the God of Alchemy had to put down his research and work overtime to upgrade the magic mirror. Otherwise, Amberxiu would be stuck into a statue by a large number of operations and it would be difficult to maintain his thinking ability.

Amberxiu should have promoted these in the first layer of hell, instead of just increasing investment in Melina's territory.

But Zariel didn't know what was going on. Recently, he seemed to be completely attracted by other things and didn't care about this promotion at all. Without the help of this first-layer master, Amberxiu alone could only promote it. It was really limited, and there was no way to drag other lords into the vortex of borrowing. Amberxiu could only continue to pay money for Melina's territory.

If this continues, Amber will have to raise taxes in Melina's territory, otherwise the punishment of the law of hell will come soon.

"What is Zariel thinking?"

Amber was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the first layer of hell belonged to Zariel. If this fallen angel really wanted to trip him up, he really had no choice but to wait for time to ferment slowly.

"If it really doesn't work, let Melina start a war against other territories. Fighting can also stop the punishment of the law of hell and force other hell lords to take war loans."

Expanding influence is a must. If you want to quell the bloody war, the premise is to have enough influence on the entire hell, and this influence must be large enough to influence this war.

At that time, Amber will be qualified to say that the war is over.

But there are still many things to do now. The God of Alchemy has almost cracked the technology of the hell engine, and the concept of alchemy will soon be further expanded. This is a very critical period. Perhaps mastering the technology of hell cannot allow the God of Alchemy to directly enter the powerful divine power, but with the influence of the magic mirror in hell, the God of Alchemy will receive powerful blessings and become the most powerful among the medium-level divine powers.

What's interesting is that every upgrade of the God of Alchemy will bring a revolutionary "alchemy".

This is different from other gods. When other gods upgrade, they will become more powerful, and may bring some benefits to their believers or races.

For example, if Silvanus becomes stronger, the druids who believe in Silvanus will receive blessings in spellcasting, and various natural spells will become more powerful. The same is true for the Lord of Dawn. If the Lord of Dawn becomes stronger, the Holy Warrior's Holy Slash will also be more powerful. If the racial god is upgraded, perhaps the newborns of the race will become healthier and have better talents.

But the influence of these gods is ultimately limited, and the technical upgrade of the God of Alchemy is completely different.

Because alchemy products are not picky, everyone can use them. After the last upgrade, the God of Alchemy created the magic mirror, and everyone knows the influence of this thing.

Whether you are a human or a devil, the magic mirror can be used, which makes the impact range of alchemy upgrades very large.

Once the new "technology" of the God of Alchemy can also achieve the impact of the magic mirror, the God of Alchemy will once again expand its influence and the power of God will soar again.

Like a snowball, the upgrade speed will be amazingly fast.

But if the influence of this technology is not very good, then alchemy will fall into a long-term bottleneck. The God of Alchemy cannot expand the believers like the Lord of Dawn to upgrade slowly. Once there is no genius to break through this bottleneck, then He will always stay outside the threshold of powerful divine power.

The concept of God is a double-edged sword, and you can't just take advantage without suffering losses.

However, Amber Xiu has confidence in the God of Alchemy. This teacher and he are both from poor families, and they especially understand what life is like for the lower class. Alchemy really affects the lower class, and it is a productivity innovation from the bottom up. Only by standing on this point can alchemy continue to develop.

Amber is now waiting for the God of Alchemy to complete this upgrade, and waiting for changes in hell, such as the enemies he expected.

Two months have passed since Amber publicly stated that he would end the bloody war. Except for those young people who shouted for war and killing, Amber has really reconciled with some enemies.

The strongest among them are the former tiefling nobles of the Unholy Song.

Amber teamed up with Mr. Doom to sell these millions of tieflings in a package, and he cheated them hard before sending them to hell. The soul coins that these tiefling nobles sold their pots and irons for were taken away by Zariel as soon as they went to hell, and all the millions of nobles became paupers.

A large part of them were sent to the worm pit, chewed up, digested, and pulled out again, and then transformed into various weak demons, but rulers like Domino Lawley were different. These former members of the Tiefling Council chose the simplest way and sacrificed their families directly.

Domino Lawley's family has over 10,000 people. After she confirmed that she was being tricked, the former female knight of Hell directly sacrificed her family. She was very familiar with the devil's methods, so she quickly transformed these relatives into soul coins, and after handing them over to Zariel, she was exempted from some punishments. Then, after a series of tortures, she was transformed into a lust demon.

Lust demons are also relatively powerful demons, and they are very suitable for Domino Lawley to play.

Other nobles of the Unholy Song followed suit. Millions of nobles went to hell and shrunk to only a few hundred thousand in just a few days. But this sacrifice that completely disregarded family affection also gave these hundreds of thousands of nobles great power. Almost all of them were high-level devils. As long as they worked together, they could sweep across many territories and become a huge force.

This was not difficult. After all, everyone knew each other well, and none of them were good people. No one would choose to bring up the past at this time.

Therefore, Domino Lawley quickly regained power and reorganized the Unholy Council, wanting to make a name for herself in hell.

Then... she was forcibly recruited by the Blood River Fortress.

Sorry, the blood battle is supreme, and all devils must obey the signs. You hundreds of thousands of high-level devils are excellent soldiers, and Bayer is not blind.

Domino Lawley became a soldier on the blood battle battlefield without any preparation. Although he obtained a large amount of magic equipment and Grand Duke Bayer did not disperse their troops, hundreds of thousands of devils were not enough to be thrown into the blood battle.

In the first month, half of the hundreds of thousands of people died.

When they really faced the demons, they realized that the war on the main material plane was just a piece of cake. In other races, fearlessness is a characteristic of the most elite troops, but in the bloody battlefield, fearlessness is just the standard of the demons.

There are many demons whose bodies are chopped up and their mouths are still biting wildly.

Anyone with a little less willpower will go crazy in this cruel battlefield in one day and become food for the demons.

Domino Lawley still survived. After all, she was one of the Hell Knights who followed Zariel into Hell. She was more adapted to Hell, and the combat qualities that had been lost for many years were picked up again in the cruel test of life and death.

When Domino Lawley brought other tiefling "survivors" to the door, Amberxiu almost didn't recognize them.

As a member of the enemy list, although not very high, Domino Lawley wisely chose "peace".

Unlike other idiots who yelled and wanted to fight, Domino Lawley was restrained from the beginning and said directly that she wanted to meet with Amber, and her request was quickly responded to.

Amber was also surprised by the changes of the former tiefling queen, not only the change in appearance, but also the most important thing was her temperament.

Domino Lawley did not mention anything that happened in the past, not even the name of Mr. Doom, and directly asked Amber how she wanted to cooperate.

In Domino Lawley's view, the reason why Amber disclosed her identity and attracted her enemies was definitely not to kill them and print money. Facing this fraudster who could even deceive the gods, Domino Lawley no longer had the idea of ​​playing tricks at the beginning, and only wanted to get benefits in the simplest and most direct way.

"Hell still trains people."

Amber was full of emotion, and then talked to Domino Lawley about the issue of employment.

There are less than 50,000 tieflings who went to hell who are still alive now.

Although their numbers are much smaller, after the baptism of war, they can be regarded as a famous unit on the Blood River battlefield. Not only that, because of their many contributions, the war zone that Domino Lawley is responsible for has a "shortcut" directly to the Blood River Fortress.

This is the authority granted to them by Bayer. When encountering an enemy that is really unstoppable, a small number of them can quickly return to the Blood River Fortress to save their lives through this shortcut. On weekdays, this shortcut can also be used as a means of transporting important materials.

Only those troops that have truly made contributions on the Blood River battlefield have this "reward".

This is what Melina met Cambion when she went to hell. This Cambion said that he knew a shortcut, which was the transmission channel controlled by Domino Lawley. But Cambion was bragging at the time. He had no relationship with Domino Lawley. He just dealt with the bottom soldiers of this unit. He knew there was such a shortcut, but he could not guarantee that he could really borrow it.

At the end of the conversation, Domino Lawley obtained a huge loan from Ambersu, enough for her troops to change their equipment. And what Domino Lawley had to pay was not much, just a little interest, which shocked Domino Lawley. When did Ambersu become so easy to talk to?

Worried that Ambersu had prepared a trap, Domino Lawley repeatedly confirmed the terms with him.

Ambersu was too lazy to talk to her. Domino Lawley was only a nail placed on the Blood River battlefield for Ambersu. Now it was not of much use, and it could only be said that it was better than nothing.

What really concerned Ambersu was another piece of news he had just received. After hearing this news, he directly abandoned Domino Lawley.

One of the three names finally had news.

Salvador, the clerk of the second layer of hell!
