This Lich Needs More Money

In Gianna's young mind, her teacher was a great man as pure and kind as an angel. Not only is she beautiful, smart, and kind, but she is full of strength.

When he finally escaped, he fainted when he ran to the castle with wounds all over his body. When Jaina woke up, she had been rescued by Isabel.

Although she was grateful for Isabel's help, Gianna had to confess to her that she was not an ordinary escaped slave. She injured the buyer when she was about to be sold, and then escaped.

For slave traders, this is an absolute capital crime. They must be captured, tortured and killed before the buyer can be given an explanation.

From Gianna's point of view, she could not implicate the angel-like Isabel.

However, Isabel just said plainly: "Those slave traders have already been here and your matter has been solved. Don't worry, they don't dare to trouble you again."

Jaina never expected that she would hear these words. Those terrifying slave traders would actually let her go? I wonder what price this kind sister paid?

Later, Jaina found out that Isabel didn't pay anything at all, she just bought her at the lowest price, and the slave traders didn't dare to say a word.

Because Isabel is a famous alchemist, and the former owner of this castle was an even greater being, a big shot that Gianna could not touch in her life.

But Gianna didn't expect that just a few days after studying with Isabel, she would meet the legendary figure.

Is this the legendary Ultraman Master?

In Jaina's eyes, Amberxiu was the most powerful slave owner. Others were just selling people, but he could sell gods.

Even the Duke of Washington, who claimed to have sold hundreds of thousands of slaves, couldn't compare with this one.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Gianna became. She could only hide behind Isabel and tremble, making Isabel feel embarrassed.

The student he accepted originally wanted to introduce him to Amber Xiu. If he could get the guidance of this master, it would be the best opportunity for Jaina, but the little girl was afraid for some reason.

Isabel also couldn't figure it out. Her teacher was obviously so approachable and had no pretensions at all. He should be very popular with children. When she first saw her teacher like this, she thought he was definitely a good talker.

This kid really doesn't know how to take chances.

Isabel had no choice but to focus on chatting with Amber Xiu.

But now Isabel is no longer the ignorant apprentice she was at the beginning. After listening to Amber Xiu’s conversation for a few words, she almost guessed what he was thinking, and suggested: “Teacher, if you want to recruit the middle and lower levels of the Alchemy Association, a party like this The model is a bit outdated.”

Amberxiu asked: "Why do you say that?"

Isabel explained: "There are too many members of the Alchemy Association and they are all over the place. Although I know some of them, if you want to pass the news through gatherings, it will be very inefficient. And most of them are very loyal to the Alchemy Association. Many people I will guess what you are thinking, and some of them will definitely remind the top management of the Alchemy Association, which will further hinder the spread of the news. "

There are not many senior members of the Alchemy Association, and most of them are in the royal capital. It is not difficult to invite them, but the middle and lower levels are troublesome. They are the backbone of various alchemy factories and generally cannot get away.

"But they all have magic mirrors. When you left, teacher, the Alchemy Association increased its investment in magic mirrors. Almost every alchemist has one. The Alchemy Association usually communicates with each other through this thing. Teacher, if you If you want to publish any news, it will be faster to use the magic mirror.”

Ambrose shook his head and said, "I know this, but I don't want Gustavo Flynn to know that I can control the magic mirror at will."

The magic mirror currently used by the Alchemy Association is a product made by themselves. In theory, it is two systems made by Amber Xiu, which are not related to each other and should not be able to communicate with each other.

Of course, this is just theory.

The core of the magic mirror is in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy, and Amber Xiu has long been integrated with the true body of the magic mirror. The state of the spirit in the mirror gives him the ability to control any magic mirror at any time. Whether it is the magic mirror of the Alchemy Association, the magic mirror developed by Ryan, or the magic mirror made by the devils in hell, there is no difference.

But it's best not to expose this secret right away. Amber Xiu still wants to hide it as a trump card.

If the magic mirror were to be used forcefully, Gustavo Flynn might just cut off his wrist and throw it away.

Isabel didn't expect Brother Amber to say that. She thought for a moment and then asked: "Teacher, the Alchemy Association has added many functions to their own magic mirror, such as recording experiments, automatically organizing data, etc. You should also You can modify the function of the magic mirror at will. If you modify it in my name, it should not easily attract their attention. "

"That's a good suggestion. Let me think about it. Isabel, how do the members of the Alchemy Association upgrade?"

Amberxiu began to think about how to achieve his goal. He wanted to make these alchemists dissatisfied with their current situation, and then destroy the current ascending channels and classes of the Alchemy Association. Then he needed to understand the ascending channels first.

Isabel was very familiar with these, and under her detailed introduction, Amber Xiu's inner thoughts were almost formed.

The Alchemy Association is now attached to the Dwarf Kingdom, so the rules have changed.

The Alchemists in the Association are divided into four simple levels, namely, apprentice, junior, intermediate, and senior. Apprentices are half-servants who don't need money, and they are exploited at will.

But you need to have connections to be an apprentice. If you don't spend money to find connections, no alchemist will be willing to accept you.

Apprentices have no human rights. How much they learn depends on the teacher's mood and their own intelligence.

But there is a way out for apprentices, that is, to take the formal alchemist exam. If you pass it, you can become a junior alchemist. The content of this exam is very simple for Amber Xiu, but it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for most apprentices.

This is to blame those alchemists who like to hide. In order to ensure that their technology is not leaked, they rarely teach real things. If you want to learn the relevant basics by yourself, it is difficult to find textbooks, and the things written in the textbooks may not be correct.

Just like someone's book on pharmacy, it only tells you which raw materials are used in the formula, but only briefly mentions the proportions, configuration methods and other details. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to learn by themselves.

After becoming a junior alchemist by chance, you can apply to learn more advanced knowledge. This is clearly marked in the Alchemy Association. What level of alchemist can exchange what knowledge with points is listed in great detail.

But many of the knowledge in it are restricted. You can only learn it yourself, not spread it. You must sign a contract before learning it, and there are various restrictions, just to reduce the spread of this knowledge.

From the primary to the intermediate level, you still need to take an exam, and the difficulty increases by dozens of times. However, the intermediate alchemist can serve as the supervisor of the alchemy factory, and the income is quite good at this time.

As for further promotion, it is not an exam, but to provide resources for the Alchemy Association, hand in alchemy products, exchange points with work, or contribute new formulas and new processes that you have researched to the association.

Senior alchemists can receive support from the association and can host large alchemy projects and earn commissions from them. They will not lack money for their lives, but it may not be enough to support their continued research.

As for moving up, they will become members of the Alchemy Association's parliament, then vice presidents and presidents.

To become a decision-maker, you need to be nominated by the current parliament members and then voted to join. The president also has a veto.

In short, Gustavo Flynn holds the power of the entire Alchemy Association and uses knowledge as a shackle to lock up those who pursue knowledge.

Amber carefully studied the number of members of the Alchemy Association. Apprentices could not be counted because they were not on the list at all. There were 28,000 junior alchemists, which was the old foundation left by the Alchemy City. Most of them were not qualified to live in the ascended city, but escaped.

There are only more than 700 intermediate alchemists left, and less than 50 senior alchemists. As for the senior members of the Alchemy Association, there are only nine including Gustavo, and only three of them are legendary.

This is the personnel composition of the Alchemy Association, and Amber Xiu's eyes are on the junior and intermediate alchemists.

"It's too easy to get promoted by taking the exam. Isabel, you reminded me that I don't need you to come out in person to attract attention. I just need to do this..."

Amber Xiu's hands moved in the air, and various lights and shadows began to appear on the surface of the magic mirror, and finally gathered into a special icon.

Isabel looked at this strange icon, which was a burning mirror, very hellish, and there was a sentence under the icon.

Isabel subconsciously said this sentence: "Mirror, mirror, tell me?"

And just after she said this sentence, the icon instantly enlarged and covered the entire mirror. A devil with flames all over his body appeared in front of Isabel and said in a seductive voice: "Mortal, what do you want to ask?"

Isabel was stunned for a moment, and then casually asked a question related to alchemy.

The devil laughed strangely, and then replied: "Knowledge needs to be exchanged for knowledge. If you can answer my question, I will tell you the answer. If not, you need to exchange it with your soul."

Isabel was shocked by this answer. She asked in surprise: "Teacher, are you serious?"

The devil disappeared, and Amber Xiu appeared on the mirror again. At this time, he said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I don't really want to take their souls away. It's just that people will only suspect that there is something wrong with the things given away for free.

"And the devil abides by the contract very much, everyone knows this. They will not doubt that the knowledge they have obtained is false, they will only worry about whether they can pay the price.

"Spread the news. When night falls and the sun sets, recite that sentence to the magic mirror to summon the most knowledgeable devil in hell. You can get all the knowledge you want from him, but you have to pay a little price.

"I will allow a large number of junior and intermediate alchemists to be promoted, and the Alchemy Association simply does not have enough positions to accommodate them. Those alchemists who have paid a heavy price find that they cannot get the corresponding benefits after being promoted, then my goal will be achieved."

With a bang, Amber Xiu turned into a devil again, smiling and said: "They will only think that the devil of hell has cracked their magic mirror, but when they want to stop it, they find that everyone can't do without the magic mirror. They can't resist the temptation of easily obtaining knowledge!

"Besides, all the responsibility lies with hell, and it has nothing to do with you or me."
