This Lich Needs More Money

Gustavo Flynn was stunned when he heard the words of the goblin president.

The prayer spell is the closest spell to the gods that mortals can touch.

Compared with the useless spells like Karsus's ascension spell, the prayer spell is the thing that can really make wishes come true.

At the beginning, the Alchemy City spent countless manpower and resources just to let mortals master this power, but in the end it failed for various reasons.

Their group of top alchemists spent so much time and failed, why can a group of goblins spend so little time and be close to success?

Gustavo Flynn said in disbelief: "What you lack is just a legendary alchemist to preside over this ceremony?"

Donald Grandet laughed and said confidently: "Money is a very powerful force. It can not only buy materials, but also knowledge. Master Flynn, you probably don't know how many alchemists are cooperating with our bank, and many of them have not joined the Alchemy Association."

"This is not something that can be solved by the number of people alone."

Gustavo Flynn said this, but he was still very curious in his heart.

Did the goblins really reproduce the entire design of the Alchemy City?

He couldn't care less about the Alchemy Association's mess now. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether what the goblins said was true.

Donald Grandet was very happy. It seemed that his countermeasures still had some problems. If he had known that the alchemist was so curious, he might have saved a lot of money.

"Master Flynn, since you have agreed, then follow me. However, I would like to state in advance that you can still choose to withdraw now. After seeing everything, you must join in and never regret it, otherwise..."

Gustavo Flynn also understood this rule. Some secrets, after knowing, either be sealed or can only join. The original Alchemy City did the same thing, but the original Alchemy City could sacrifice the entire capital as a sacrifice. Could this group of goblins also sacrifice the Dwarf King?

Does the Dwarf King know about this?

But no matter what, the Dwarf King is not a good thing.

Gustavo Flynn had no feelings for the Dwarf Kingdom. From top to bottom, they were just interested in each other, and the Dwarf King had taken advantage of him.

The rich and noble Goblin President personally held the lamp and led Gustavo Flynn into the secret passage.

It was not surprising that there was a secret passage in the President's Office, but what surprised Gustavo Flynn was that the secret passage went all the way down, and the depth was very dangerous.

It was not a problem of ventilation, these small problems could be solved by magic.

But it was common sense for everyone that no place on the entire continent could dig too deep.

Because under the continent was the endless Underdark.

This was a space that was wider than the surface world, and no one knew how big and deep the Underdark was. Even the Queen of the Underdark only occupied several huge spaces. Compared with the entire Underdark, her territory was only a small piece, but it was very close to the surface, so most people had to deal with the Queen of the Undead.

The secret passage going down, aren't these goblins afraid of digging into the Underdark?

There are all kinds of things in there, maybe some monster will pop out.

Every country has similar legends, where an underground passage is accidentally dug, and then people in the village start to die inexplicably, which actually means digging into the Underdark.

At this depth, it is obviously beyond the safety line. The rocks around have changed color, and Gustavo Flynn can even sense the faint dark magic in the air.

This is definitely the range of the Underdark. Did they set up a huge magic circle in the Underdark?

This conjecture was soon verified. After passing through the deep corridor, they finally saw a vast space.

The smell of blood and rot hit them in the face. Gustavo Flynn didn't even need to look to know that this was the effect of blood sacrifice. A large amount of flesh and blood was being sacrificed as the core of the magic circle.

The Alchemy City did the same thing, but they used the city's sewers and various magic potions to spawn a large number of dangerous monsters, and then tempted those adventurers to explore, accumulating sacrifices little by little in this way.

What did the Underdark use as sacrifices?

Gustavo Flynn walked forward and soon saw a large number of tied-up slaves.

"Underground gnomes and dwarves? How dare you..."

Gustavo Flynn was shocked. These underground gnomes and dwarves are close relatives of the surface dwarves. How dare they use these races as sacrifices?

Donald Grandet said: "Don't be so surprised, Master Flynn. For you alchemists, all life in the world is the same and can be used as experimental subjects, isn't it?"

"But in the Dwarf Kingdom, this is illegal!"

Although the Dwarf Kingdom is a multi-ethnic kingdom on the surface, the dwarves as the main race naturally have many preferential treatments. The simplest one is that the kingdom has slaves, but dwarves cannot be slaves. Anyone who dares to harm a dwarf or a close relative of dwarven dwarf descent will be punished with death.

"Don't get too excited, Master Flynn. Strictly speaking, this place is no longer part of the dwarven kingdom. The Underdark has never belonged to any kingdom."

Donald Grandet raised the light in his hand, and countless lights lit up in front of him.

The full picture of the magic circle finally appeared in front of Gustavo Flynn. Thousands of goblins were waving whips and driving the slaves into the sacrificial area. One by one, their lives melted into the magic circle.

Flynn took a casual look and found that the magic circle had been greatly modified.

There are also capable people among the goblins. Although this modification is not an improvement, it is not a mess. Instead, it makes the magic circle that could be used infinitely become a one-time one.

Seeing things related to his profession, Gustavo Flynn didn't care about the slaves.

"You only need to use the prayer spell once?" Gustavo Flynn asked.

This change is still easy to recognize. After all, it is a project that he has participated in for decades. The magic patterns on it are more familiar than the bed at home.

The goal of the Alchemy City is to allow the original president to gain the ability to use the prayer spell infinitely, so that the president can bypass Io and gain power comparable to that of the gods.

But these goblins are obviously not greedy. They only want to use the prayer spell once.

This greatly simplified the structure of the magic circle and reduced most of the burden. No wonder they were able to complete most of it so quickly. The workload was much less than the original version of the Alchemy City.

Donald Grandet smiled and said, "We are not that greedy."

Gustavo Flynn sneered and said, "Goblins are not greedy? This is a good joke."

Just as elves are synonymous with elegance, most goblins will be affected by racial characteristics throughout their lives. Greed and cruelty are their inextricable nature. Perhaps the rules can make them restrain themselves a little, but it is impossible for them to truly change their nature.

"Human prejudice is also the heaviest among many races. This may be related to your chaotic nature. You can have the noblest saints like Arthur Ryan, and you can also have alchemy madmen like the Alchemy City who are inhumane. Master Flynn, you should understand that the best of each race are people who have overcome their own shortcomings and are determined.

"Although goblins are greedy, I know how to restrain myself. I know what I want, so our Goblin Bank can operate until now and has always been profitable. "

When he said this, the temperament of the old goblin changed, and his hunched body seemed taller than anyone else.

Gustavo Flynn did not refute. This old goblin was indeed a character.

But he was still very curious about it and couldn't help asking: "What wish do you want to make?"

Donald Grandet shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, Master Flynn, I will take you to see someone first."

"One person, is there someone else behind you directing you?"

"Of course, Master Flynn, why do you think I, a banker, should take such a big risk? Of course, it's because I have a very important client. Come on, I should explain things to you today. After all, we don't have much time. "

Gustavo Flynn followed the old goblin, passed through the magic circle, and passed through a passage full of magic traps, and then came to a huge room.

Donald Grandet knocked on the door respectfully, then opened the door and said to Gustavo Flynn: "Master Flynn, Lord Yuri is waiting for you inside. "

The old goblin acted as if he was not qualified to enter, so Gustavo Flynn had to push the door open and walk into the room.

The room was large, but the decoration was simple. There were many kinds of books in it. Gustavo Flynn took a glance and found many alchemy-related contents.

Could it be that this Lord Yuri was the builder of the magic circle?

Who is this legendary alchemist? Why have I never heard of this name?

After looking for a long time, he didn't find anyone else in the room. Just as he was wondering, a short figure walked out from behind a pile of books.

The short figure was holding a thick alchemist's notebook in his hand. After closing the book, he politely saluted Gustavo Flynn and said, "Dear Master Flynn, hello, I am Seth Yuri. "

Gustavo Flynn looked at the other person carefully, and then came to a conclusion that puzzled him.

This Seth Yuri did not have green wrinkled skin and pointed ears, but had a solid body of muscles... This was not a goblin at all, but a dwarf, and judging from his beard, this dwarf seemed quite young.

Seth Yuri smiled and said, "Master Flynn, it seems that you are very surprised. Don't worry, we still have enough time to solve your doubts. Please sit down."

The young dwarf waved his hand, and many roots grew out of the ground. These plants automatically twisted together and turned into a set of simple tables and chairs.

"What a powerful natural spell, are you a druid? ”

Druids are messengers who practice the way of nature. They are not limited to any race. As long as they follow the teachings of the Oak Father, they can become a druid. But becoming a druid often also means abandoning one's own race and country, a bit like some religions.

Seth Yuri sat on a chair and said to Gustavo Flynn: "I just have some research on natural magic. I admire those druids who practice the way of nature, but I can't be an ascetic monk. By the way, there is no tea, but I can treat you to a cup of flower dew."

Seth Yuri knocked on the table, and two bright flowers grew out, pouring some sweet nectar into the wooden cup on the table.

Gustavo Flynn was not in the mood to drink nectar. He only knew that the dwarf in front of him was not simple. He could cast natural spells of this level even if he was not a druid. This man's magical talent was terrifying.

This is a dwarf!

Dwarves are a race that is notoriously not good at magic.

Just like the old goblin said before, every leader in the race is a big shot who has broken through his own limitations, but how come he has never heard of such a powerful dwarf.

As long as he showed his skills in the kingdom, he would be put into great use by the king immediately.

"I think we should get to the point as soon as possible. Mr. Yuri, what exactly is your cooperation with President Grandet, and why do you need me to preside over this ceremony. I just saw the magic circle and it has been almost modified. , it can be completed in two months at most, there shouldn’t be any bottlenecks for you.”

Seth Uri praised: "Yes, Master Flynn is indeed an expert. He can see the progress of the project at a glance. This is exactly why I need your help, because we can't wait two months, we need three days." Complete this magic circle within 10 seconds, even if you don’t come to me today, I will come to invite you in person.”

"Three days? This... why is it so urgent?"

Gustavo Flynn didn't quite understand. They had been secretly starting this project for so long, so why did they suddenly want to speed it up? Could it be that this magic circle has been discovered by the dwarf kingdom?

Seth Uri seemed to have seen through Gustavo Flynn's thoughts, shook his head and said: "No, we have been very careful in our work, and there is no risk of being discovered. But in three days, the meeting of the nations is about to begin. . "I must complete the prayer before the meeting of nations begins."

Gustavo Flynn asked doubtfully: "What are you going to do? What is your wish?"

Seth Urie said: "I hope you can stay calm after listening to this."

Gustavo Flynn laughed and said: "Back then, we even abandoned the entire Alchemy City. What could be crazier than this?"

Seth Uri nodded and said: "Yes, you are exactly what I need. Then I might as well tell you the truth. When the ceremony is completed, I will make a wish to let the current dwarf king die."

Gustavo Flynn's eyes widened, this was really beyond his expectation.
