This Lich Needs More Money

Mercury is not a rare thing.

In hell, even gold is not valuable, and it is not much more expensive than ordinary copper and iron.

But mercury usually exists in the form of ore, and the mercury in front of us is of high purity, as if it was specially smelted.

Not only that, the mercury flowing out of the space crack also has a strange smell, like the stench of demons, but it seems to be mixed with other things.

Parulier could only guess that there was a lot of mercury in this space channel where demons were infested. He barely opened it a little and let the mercury flow out.

Although it was unexpected, Parulier thought it was not worth worrying about.

The space in this area is chaotic. Let alone mercury, it would not be strange even if a dragon was opened.

Anyway, it’s okay to catch it. Parulier stabilized the space crack and fixed the position first before trying to open the crack. This is not a small risk. No one knows what the situation is on the other side. If a large number of demons pour in after opening it, or a clone of Demogorgon jumps out directly, it will be a big problem.

But Parulil is a madman, He doesn't care about this.

The huge magic power tries to stabilize the space crack and begins to expand the channel little by little, at least to accommodate one person to pass through and explore the situation on the other side.

And this so-called big does not refer to the size in the literal sense.

Shrinking is not a very difficult spell, and Parulil naturally knows it. What is really needed is the stability of this channel. In order to effectively block the battlefield, Bayer spent a lot of time to arrange various restrictions. Not only did he divide the Blood River battlefield into a maze, but more importantly, he suppressed the "access level" of these space channels. This battlefield was divided into the periphery, which was for those weak devil troops to deal with. Generally, there would be no Demogorgon clones to drill out and start mowing the grass.

What Parulil has to do now is to break this restriction and dig out a space channel that He can pass through.

This is undoubtedly a serious provocation to Bayer, but Parulil doesn't care. He is going to drill in now and take a look at what the Styx looks like.

Magic power began to flow into it, and the tiny space crack also grew larger, slowly turning from a crack into a hole, and began to be the size of a fist.

However, I don’t know what touched it. When the hole became as big as a basin, the originally sparse mercury suddenly surged in, splashing all over Parulil’s face like a fountain.

This is not water, but mercury, which has a higher density than most metals. Even though it is liquid, it still hits Parulil hard under high pressure.

The heavy mercury washed Parulil’s face fiercely, but He couldn’t hide or let go, because if He let go, the space crack that was not a problem would run away.

I don’t know how many tons of impact force Parulil was washed so hard that her skin was about torn, and only then did she barely stabilize the space crack.

However, when He let go of her hand, Parulil was violently shot to the ground by the mercury fountain.

At this moment, the location of the magic circle was covered with countless mercury, forming a small mercury pool.

Parulil climbed up from the mercury pool in a panic, looking at the still surging silver liquid column, and cursed fiercely: "Damn it, you underestimated the rules of the Blood River Fortress."

The space crack was stabilized and would not run around, but Parulil found that this state was already the limit.

In order to ensure that the demons would not run around, the Blood River Fortress had very strict restrictions on the entry and exit rules. Parulil just wanted to create a space channel large enough for him to pass through, but found that the card limit was too high, and gods like him could not get through at all.

If he wanted to continue to expand this space channel, he would have to dismantle the entire Blood River Fortress first.

What made Parulil even more helpless was that he had already triggered the magic countermeasure of the Blood River Fortress. After detecting that someone had expanded the space channel without authorization, the space channel was forcibly fixed.

In other words, Parulil couldn't even close this space channel now, and could only watch the mercury continue to pour out.

There are bigger troubles ahead. Blood River Fortress has probably sent elite troops to check. If Parulil can't give a reasonable explanation, Melina will be in trouble.

Parulil had no choice but to take out the magic mirror and contact Amber.

After briefly explaining the matter and letting Amber see the mercury lake that had already taken shape, Amber uttered a justified sneer.

"You can't even do this little thing well, Parulil, you are really depraved. You must have rusted your head after hundreds of years in hell."

Parulil gnashed his teeth in hatred, but this time it was indeed his fault. He had not been to the first layer of hell much, nor had he participated in the bloody battle, so he didn't know much about the details.

"I will take care of Zariel and Bayer, and I won't let Melina be punished."

Amber spoke very hard now, as if he was the one who opened hell.

Parulier looked at the mercury lake and was about to seal the hole, but she heard Amberxiu say, "Wait a minute, are you sure this space channel can lead to the Styx?"

"Theoretically... yes, but I haven't been in there myself, so I can't say for sure."

Parulier wasn't sure either, but the breath of the devil couldn't be faked. This pool of mercury was full of the stench of the devil. There must be a large number of demons on the other side. Even if they couldn't reach the tributaries of the Styx directly, they should be able to find the direction to the Styx.

Amber thought for a moment, then said: "Then I'll talk to Bayer, and this place will be unblocked for the time being."

"What do you want to do?" Parulil asked.

"I have a kind of creature that is quite suitable for this environment. Maybe we can ask them to help explore the way."

Amber was talking about the mercury figurines, but the mercury figurines now are no longer the same as before. The evil silver gradient is fat and sleek in the kingdom of the God of Alchemy, and the speed of its divine power growth is a bit incredible.

If it goes on like this, it will be easy to get out of control. The God of Alchemy is thinking about whether to disassemble the hell engine of the evil silver gradient again, but Amber found that this guy only grew in strength, his soul did not change much, and his personality was not affected, so he suggested that the God of Alchemy observe it more.

After all, this little guy has been with him for a long time, and reverse surgery can easily kill the evil silver gradient.

The God of Alchemy finally agreed with Amber's statement. Both the master and the apprentice are not the kind of scientific madmen who have lost their humanity, and they both understand one thing in their hearts.

Alchemy is destined to create creatures stronger than itself.

Other gods always create weaker creatures than themselves, because their creations are divided from their own power, and naturally they cannot be stronger than themselves by lending their own power.

But alchemy is different, just like humans forged swords, then swords are stronger than fists and teeth, and humans created puppets, then the power of machines is stronger than humans themselves.

Alchemy is such a concept, using materials, magic, and everything in the world to make up for their own shortcomings and complete impossible tasks for themselves.

If you are afraid that what you create is stronger than yourself, then you should never be an alchemist, because such an alchemist will never achieve anything in his life.

Since the evil silver gradient is not out of control, it should continue to be cultivated.

However, Amber Xiu is not talking about this increasingly powerful creation, but another batch.

The evil silver gradient has reproduced several times in the kingdom of God, and the offspring that split have indeed shown very obvious ability degradation. After three or four generations of continuous splitting, there are now thousands of mercury spirit figurines in the Alchemy Kingdom, and the abilities of the latest generation of mercury spirit figurines have basically solidified.

To put it in professional terms, the genes are basically stable, and there will not be much change if they continue to split and reproduce.

And the power of this kind of mercury spirit figurine is so weak that they can leave the kingdom of God and enter the main material plane.

Since a mercury pool has just been opened here, and he needs to explore the abyss underground, he might as well let these little guys do some work.

Although their power is far less than that of the evil silver gradient, that is compared with the "gods". This new generation of mercury spirit figurines retains a small amount of attributes.

They can still devour various magical items to strengthen themselves, but it can only last for a period of time. After digestion, the effect will disappear. Secondly, their resistance cannot be infinitely stacked, but they can also reach a level close to magic immunity through a short period of eating and drinking, and maintain it for a period of time.

There is one last point, which is also the most powerful part of this mercury spirit figurine-they have inherited wisdom and are smarter than most humans.

Humans need a lot of time to grow up from infants to adults, and they also need to acquire knowledge and wisdom through acquired learning. Mercury spirit figurines, a single-sex reproduction creature, can directly copy a memory when they split.

This allows the mercury spirit figurines to enter a "mature" state in a short period of time, saving a lot of learning time.

But it is not without disadvantages. After all, the ancestors of the mercury spirit figurines are artificial souls created by Amber Xiu, and when Amber Xiu started, he was completely researching in the direction of cost saving, so it is not perfect.

Therefore, the fifth generation of mercury spirit figurines have a lifespan problem. The mercury spirit figurines of this generation can only reproduce two offspring at most, and then the soul will quickly weaken until death.

Amber Xiu has tested it with time acceleration. The lifespan of the fifth generation of mercury spirit figurines is only five to seven years. Even if the split reproduction is intentionally restricted, the longest lifespan is not more than ten years.

This characteristic is actually a good thing. At least it limits the number of mercury spirit figurines to a certain extent. Otherwise, Amber Xiu really dare not release them.

And the most suitable place for mercury spirit figurines to live is not the environment in front of them.

Let them explore the unknown space channel, that is the best.

However, how to put a large number of mercury spirit figurines into hell is a problem. These little guys are just born, they are not sinners, and they will not go to hell after death. Even if Ambersu cruelly orders them to commit suicide, the result is that they will only be transformed into various devils after going to hell, and it is impossible to maintain the original race.

Unless, like Melina, directly use the artifact given by Zariel to open the door to hell.

But it is okay for Melina to enter hell alone, but Ambersu wants to let a whole race in, so the door to hell cut by a sword is far from enough.

Hell is not a good place, but it is not something you can come to whenever you want.

Either get Zariel's consent and open a passage directly, or find another way. Ambersu has a few books about hell in his house, so he can go back and read them.

Ambersu didn't think Zariel would agree, or he was ready to be slaughtered by him.

However, when Ambersu appeared in front of Zariel with the idea of ​​giving it a try, the fallen angel showed him a puzzling smile.

When Amber Xiu explained his request, Zariel agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I told Bayer about Melina's situation a long time ago. Your magic mirror is already the most important combat material in hell. Melina's little trouble is nothing. The demons of the abyss have thought about breaking through the space blockade more than once. We have seen too many such things, so it's not worth mentioning. As for the mercury spirit figurine you mentioned, I will give you a scroll of the gate of hell at that time, and you can set the position of the gate at will."

Amber Xiu looked at the scroll handed over by Zariel and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

This is unreasonable. When did Zariel become so easy to talk to.

"Xirik, you again?" Amber Xiu asked in a deep voice.

Obviously, the protective effect has just been strengthened, but it was broken by this damn prince of lies so quickly, and he created an illusion for himself again?

Zariel frowned and said: "Xirik? What are you talking about?"

Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment. This time, the illusion did not break. Was Xirik playing a double hint or was it because he made a mistake?

Amber Xiu simply said frankly: "Nothing, it's just that your reaction today made me feel unreal, Grand Duke Zariel, although we are in a cooperative relationship, you seem to be too easy to talk to today."

"Hahaha." Zariel laughed and said to Amber Xiu: "You are used to speculating about others with a vicious mind. You have also been assimilated by hell. You are also a qualified devil."

Amber Xiu shook his head and said: "You think too much. I was like this before I went to hell."

Amber Xiu didn't say the second half of the sentence. Zariel's laughter just now was to change the subject. He must be hiding something. There won't be any problem with this scroll of the gate of hell?

But Amber Xiu couldn't figure out why He had any reason to do something here. He didn't want to get it for free. He just made a price and everyone could talk slowly. What's the situation with this conspiracy?

Zariel didn't want to explain. After throwing the scroll to Amber Xiu, he threw the magic mirror out directly, regardless of whether Amber Xiu agreed or not.

Zariel wiped the cold sweat from his head only after Amberxiu disappeared in the palace.

He was too eager and had aroused suspicion from others. But there was no way, the Heaven Mountain was right in front of him. Zariel wished he could grow a few more pairs of wings and fly back. He had no time to negotiate with Amberxiu.

Moreover, it was difficult to maintain his condition now. Zariel didn't dare to talk to Amberxiu for too long, for fear that he would see through the changes in his body.

"It's not the time yet, but I'm almost able to turn back into an angel. Then I'll confront him and ask him to help contact the Lord of the Dawn."

Zariel knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly: "Ao, please give me some more time. This is my last chance. Even if I die completely, I will not stay in hell anymore!"
