This Lich Needs More Money

The second level of hell, Steel Fortress.

A magic mirror was sent to Salvador.

Looking at the huge mirror, the scribe sighed and reached out to open the magic mirror.

Amber Xiu's face appeared on the mirror, and the two looked at each other for a long time, but they were both silent, as if neither one knew how to speak.

After not seeing each other for three hundred years, Salvador became the devil, while Amberxiu became the spirit in the mirror. They once fought side by side, and finally turned against each other. There are so many stories between the two that I don’t know where to start.

In the end, it was Salvador who spoke first and said to Amber Xiu: "I haven't seen you for so many years. I'm surprised that you haven't been promoted to a god yet?"

Amber Xiu laughed at himself and said: "How can it be so easy to become a god, especially for a greedy and uncontrolled person like me? There are too many greedy people among mortals, and I am just one of them."

Salvador smiled and said: "Greedy... It seems that you have changed a lot in the past few hundred years. The you I knew back then assassinated me seventeen times for the justice and justice in your heart, which lasted for several years."

Amber Xiu:......

Unexpectedly, the meeting between old enemies was not tense, but an indescribable embarrassment.

It would be nice if I were still a lich, then I could block out those useless emotions and talk to Salvador about cooperation with a flawless fake smile.

But after the feeling of a living person is restored, emotions will become very complicated. You can only accept the good and the bad together, and you cannot only be happy like taking drugs.

But after all, he was an old man who was hundreds of years old. Amberxiu quickly calmed down and said to Salvador: "I believe you have heard the news I released. I need your help. I want to end the bloody war."

Salvador didn't show any excitement at all, but said calmly: "Let's not talk about whether I have let go of the hatred in the past. Even if I am just a stranger, why do you think I will help you, and why do you think you can do this? Impossible?"

"If you don't try, how do you know it's impossible?" Amberxiu said.

Salvador said: "There is no point in using words to get around me. You have already used this method back then. I may not have as dexterous a tongue as you, but I will not be fooled by appearances. You are crazy, and there is no reason. I don’t know the underlying reason for your madness, but I will never do anything for a madman, no matter how much benefit there is.”

Amberxiu didn't care at all when he was rejected. Instead, he smiled and said, "That means, if I wasn't a madman, you would help me?"

Salvador raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I told you, don't use language traps..."

Amberxiu interrupted directly and said: "This is not a language trap, this is the truth deep in your heart. Salvador, hundreds of years have passed, and I am not the same person I was before. I have now learned to read other people's expressions. Even though you are already a devil, you still can't control your expression."

El Salvador:…

Amberxiu looked at the silent scribe and threw out the last sentence: "Now Ryan is no longer extremely fanatical. The Lord of the Morning has won the bet, and the Holy Light will once again envelope Ryan, but unfortunately, This future has nothing to do with you.”

Salvador clenched his fists uncontrollably and smashed the thick stack of documents into powder.

Amberxiu said unexpectedly: "You don't know? It's impossible. It's impossible for the secretary of the second level of hell not to know about Ryan's changes. Is the information you read every day made up? So many people go to hell, How could you not know about such a big event? Oh, I understand, you dare not inquire. After hundreds of years, you still have not let go of Ryan, and you still have not forgiven your past self. You have all the information related to Ryan. Don’t dare to look, don’t even dare to hear a word…”

"Shut up! You damn piece of shit!"

Amber Xiu said disdainfully: "I have been a devil for hundreds of years, and this is all I can do to curse people?!"

Salvador shut his mouth. Although he was confident that he could see through all of Amber's schemes, he would still be angered by him. That was a past he could not forget, and it was his most persistent belief in his previous life.

Even though the Lord of the Morning denied his choice and let him fall into hell with his sins, Salvador never resented the Lord of the Morning. Because Salvador himself also understood that killing innocent dwarves was wrong in the first place, and it was meaningless no matter what kind of righteousness he used as an excuse.

Sin is sin, and Salvador does not feel that he is atoning for his sins by spending hundreds of years in hell.

He was just being punished, and the days and nights of regret and shame were the torture specifically aimed at him.

And now, Ryan's problem has been solved?

Has the Lord of the Dawn finally favored his followers again?

Salvador's eyes were red, and something hot seemed to be flowing out. Salvador lowered his head and said through gritted teeth, "Tell me what happened."

Originally, he could check it out by himself, but Salvador still wanted to hear the ending from Amber Xiu's mouth. This was the reason why the two turned against each other back then, and now it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

Ambrose no longer angered Salvador and told everything that had happened before in the shortest but most precise language.

When he heard that Arthur Lane's heroic spirit had dissipated in order to completely kill the dragon, Salvador finally couldn't bear it any longer. The powerful secretary lay on the table and burst into tears.

Arthur Lane is special to all Lane people, and is the pillar of life second only to the Lord of the Morning. Amberxiu didn't know what Salvador was thinking about now, whether he regretted not being able to fulfill his ideal and let Arthur Lane sacrifice again, or whether he felt that he was also an accomplice in killing the holy king.

The cries alerted the guards outside, but the moment they rushed in one by one, they were torn into pieces by invisible forces.

Only when the devil's flesh and blood covered half of the ground did Salvador raise his head again.

Although his eyes were still blood red, he finally calmed down.

Amberxiu looked at the flesh and blood and couldn't help but say: "Your ruthless methods have not changed at all."

Salvador said coldly: "I am not a priest of light now, but a devil, a cruel and vicious devil. Is there any problem?"

"After wiping away my tears, I became tough when I spoke."

Salvador's eyes widened and he cursed angrily: "Damn you... do you still want me to help you?!"

"Can you still refuse to help? I saved Ryan, I helped the Lord of the Dawn win the bet, and I am also a close friend of Arthur Ryan..."

"Don't mention that name!" Salvador said excitedly: "You must have deceived His Majesty the Holy King. Even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it! How do you have the right to call yourself his friend?!"

Amberxiu shrugged. He didn't believe it. Even if Arthur Lane came back to life, he would not deny it.

Amberxiu said to Salvador in a pretentious manner: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. I want to end the bloody war. How can you help? Don't tell me that you can't give any good advice after being a secretary for so many years." ”

"I knew you would be like this, that's why I avoided you." Salvador said helplessly: "Ending the bloody war is the slogan you shouted. If it is just a cover, then I advise you not to think too much about it. This is impossible, Not to mention you, all the devils in the Nine Hells combined cannot end this battle, because bloody battles are a part of the laws of hell and the key to punishing sinners. Unless you destroy the Nine Hells, what qualifications do you have to change the laws of hell? "

It is impossible to destroy hell. Only Io may be able to do it. The sleeping lord of hell only controls the authority of the nine hells and is similar to a king. But the king cannot destroy his own kingdom. At most, he can only abdicate and make way for others.

"Don't pour cold water on me first. First tell me the origin of this bloody battle. I'll think about it carefully." Amber Xiu said.

"There's nothing to say about that. The endless River of Styx runs through countless planes, and one of its huge tributaries connects the abyss and hell. It's the river of blood you see, but that's only a small part of the River of Styx..."

Salvador began to explain to Amber Xiu the causes of the bloody battlefield and the distribution of various areas on the battlefield.

These are basic common sense that all the Devil Archdukes know. Salvador has been the secretary to the Iron Archduke for many years. He has also been responsible for transporting troops and equipment to the Blood River Fortress over the years, so Salvador is very familiar with bloody battles.

Amberxiu listened for a long time and only heard two key points.

First, the devil can rely on this tributary of the River Styx to come to hell. For countless years, the devil has been unable to completely close this tributary, so the bloody battle will last forever.

Theoretically, as long as the River Styx can be cut off, all problems can be solved.

But this is as difficult as kicking Io away and becoming a god himself, so basically you don't have to think about it.

Second, the laws of hell are constantly being replenished. The bloody battle was not a means of punishing sinners with death at the beginning, but the bloody battle lasted too long, and the nine levels of hell have already acquiesced to the existence of the bloody battle and incorporated it into the laws. . If you want to end the bloody war, you are going to be an enemy of the will of the nine hells.

Amberxiu would be counterattacked by the laws of hell even if he lay flat in Melina's territory. Want to stop the bloody battle? That backlash could easily destroy Melina and everything she owns. Amberxiu may be able to escape some of the punishment by relying on his own characteristics, but he will definitely not escape unscathed.

Strictly speaking, he is also a sinner who went to hell.

It sounds like both of these are unsolvable, but Amberxiu feels that the second one is not without a chance. Since the Nine Hells can recognize bloody battles, is it possible for the Nine Hells to recognize something else as a substitute, and then be destined to block the invasion of Styx?

Amberxiu told Salvador about this idea, and the scribe immediately laughed and said: "War that has not changed for hundreds of millions of years is such a cruel torture. Where can you find a corresponding punishment that can satisfy the nine hells?"

"This... I have no idea now, but it's not absolutely impossible." Amberxiu said.

"Okay, even if you can do it, how can you let the Nine Hells expel the Styx? The Styx is not a river, it is a very special plane, and what is connected there is the abyss, cutting off the connection between the planes. That’s something even powerful gods may not be able to do.”

Amberxiu touched his chin and said, "It's not like this can't be studied."

He has never tried to exile a plane, but he has tried to exile a kingdom, and he plans to participate in the whole process. Perhaps, when Harvey, a talented student, is promoted to god, he can be sacrificed to let hell cut off the branches of the River Styx.

It doesn't mean that Harvey must be sacrificed. In short, this can be studied.

Salvador didn't know where Amberxiu's confidence came from. He just felt that this was getting more and more abnormal and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't this a pretense? Do you really want to end the bloody war?"

Amberxiu nodded and said, "I have this idea, and I didn't say it was a pretense."

"Are you sick? Why do you want to end the bloody war?"

Salvador looked at Amberxiu in shock. Isn't this guy joking? Putting aside whether he can do it or not, why would he do it just because he is crazy?

"I think this is my chance to be promoted to a god. Mortals always have to shine in order to be seen by Io. If gods and gods can't see me, then how can I be promoted to a god."

"You are really sick. Even if Ai Ou really sees you at that time, he will crush you to death with one finger!"

Ambrose retorted: "Who can say accurately what God's hobbies are?"

"Don't talk about Io, you are making such a big noise, are you really afraid of disturbing the sleeping one? The master of the Nine Hells has never had a reputation for good temper. At that time, Io had not been given the godhood, and the main god of the devil was Take out your soul first. You don’t think you can be safe by hiding in the mirror, do you?”

Salvador can also sense that Amberxiu is in a special state. The general prince of hell may not be able to do anything to Amberxiu, but Asmodeus is different. He is the incarnation of hell. Legend has it that he was born at the same time as hell and cannot use the so-called power. Divine power to speculate on His power.

Perhaps Asmodeus is not very good at fighting, but he is definitely on the same level as Corellon, the Goddess of Magic and other gods.

Corellon's arrow can instantly penetrate countless planes and lock onto Amber Xiu's soul. No one hiding in the Kingdom of Alchemy can escape this arrow. The goddess of magic can easily break the magic circuit of the magic mirror, and then grab Amber Xiu from the mirror.

Asmodeus must have similar means.

In this state, the Magic Mirror Weapon Spirit can only bully Zariel, which is definitely not enough in front of Asmodeus.

"Don't be in a hurry, haven't I just started bragging? The Lord of Hell won't wake up and kill me if he hears the news. I still have time, so I can study and arrange it slowly."

Salvador confirmed that Amberxiu had no intention of giving up, and could only shake his head and said: "Then I can't help you. Only gods are qualified to intervene in this kind of thing. The power I have was given by the Iron Duke. I can't help you after leaving the second level of hell." It’s not easy, the bloody battlefield is in the first level of hell, and there is nothing I can do to help.”

"Don't look down on yourself so much. Even a piece of toilet paper and a piece of mud can be effective, let alone the secretary of the second level of hell."

"Thank you for your sarcastic compliment. It's nothing. You can go away and don't bother me again."

El Salvador did not hesitate to evict the guest.

Amberxiu smiled and said: "Is this called disturbing? I can help you tie a knot. Ryan has been reborn, and this is my credit. Arthur Ryan and I are equals, so you should address me with respect. "My lord."

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Salvador couldn't help but grab the desk and wanted to throw it over.

This table made of pure obsidian weighed more than ten tons, but in Salvador's hands it was like chicken feathers.

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore." Amberxiu put away his joking expression and said very seriously: "Salvador, no matter whether you regret the evil deeds you committed or not, but since you have gone to hell, my friend The whole family was led to the kingdom of the dwarf gods, and I avenged them with my own hands, so everything was settled between us.

“I will not use past crimes to blackmail you, nor will I use Ryan to force you to do things for me.

"But let me tell you, when you wanted to change Ryan on your own, did you just throw away your ambition? What a great feat it is to end the bloody war. Think carefully about whether you want to join this great cause. Inside. You don’t want to think that others only know you as the clerk, but they don’t even know your name, right?”

Salvador didn't speak, put down the desk, then reached out a little and turned off the magic mirror screen. But after Amberxiu disappeared, the scribe was silent for a long time, and finally said to himself: "The bloody battle... is so ancient that it is difficult to access the information."

Ambrose did not force the magic mirror in front of Salvador to open. He had already obtained enough information from this meeting and at least found a seemingly promising direction.

Banish the Styx tributary, and then find an alternative method of punishment. No matter how difficult it is, at least you know what to do.

But Amberxiu was not in a hurry to do this. He immediately came to the other magic mirror and said to Melina who was exercising: "The little lemure who provided information about El Salvador before is here."

Melina quickly ordered the little lemure to be brought over, and then took the opportunity to ask: "Father, what's wrong? Is there any new information?"

Amberxiu said: "There is information, but that's not what I'm going to talk about later."

The little lemure was quickly brought to Amber Xiu, and when they met again, the little lemure seemed to be much better. It was probably due to the good food and drink during this period, and he felt that his strength had become stronger. point.

But after all, he was just a little evil devil. He didn't dare to breathe in front of Amber Xiu. He could only lower his head and wait for Amber Xiu's lecture.

And the first sentence that Amber Xiu spoke scared him half to death.

"Did that crazy woman Paruliel send you here? Where is she?"

This wasn't Amberxiu's intention to scare him. Salvador himself didn't even spread his name. How could a little lemure know such a secret name?

There must be someone behind him, and he wants to cause trouble even if he offends a big shot like Salvador... It's probably just that crazy woman!

Before the little evil demon could speak, a enchanting figure appeared in front of Amber Xiu.

"Oh, ha ha ha, long time no see, you are still as sharp as before."

Paruliel stood in front of Amber and asked: "Do you miss me, my old friend!"
