This Lich Needs More Money

The relationship between Bayer and Zarrell can no longer be described as "bad". The relationship between the two is already a life-and-death relationship.

When Zariel was parachuted in and became the boss, he tortured Bayer a lot. When Bayer rebelled, he also tortured Zariel. When Zariel got out of trouble, he also tortured Bayer to death.

It can be said that these two devils have scars left by each other on their bodies, and these scars have been deeply imprinted in their souls.

If it weren't for the real Lord of Hell pressing down on them, only one of these two would have survived.

Now that he learned from Cyric that something was wrong with Zariel, Bayer couldn't wait to put aside the matters on the Blood River and run to verify it.

But it is a pity that he cannot leave the Blood River Fortress. This is a rule. If he violates it, the consequences will be very serious.

Although Cyric's words are conclusive, there is no evidence so far.

Bayer said to Cyric: "I can't believe just because of your words. You are the prince of lies."

Cyric smiled and said: "It is precisely because I am the Prince of Lies that I can sense what Zariel is hiding. Of course, you won't believe it, but you can't have a way to test it. Just give it a try. knew?"

Bayer shook his head and said, "There is a price to pay for temptation."

Cyric was speechless. These devils really wanted to discuss profit in everything.

"Okay, to show my sincerity, I can also contribute." Cyric concentrated his divine power and turned it into a skull badge. He handed it to Bayer and said, "This is an artifact that I transformed with my power. The effect is very simple. It can detect lies three times and there will be no mistakes. Even the gods can't lie in front of me. Don't tell me that it costs money just to contact Zariel."

Bayer took the skull badge and immediately sensed its usefulness, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said to Cyric: "Sign a new contract."

Cyric shrugged helplessly. What could he do if he was unhappy? Who could ask for help from others?

The two renegotiated the new terms to ensure that no one would resort to tricks, and then Bayer contacted Zariel, who was in retreat.

The fallen angel condensed by the flames looked no different from before, except that Zariel had an undisguised expression of disgust on his face. He asked Bayer, "You'd better contact me if you have something important to do."

Bayer did not immediately question Zarrell if there was a problem, but said in an insinuating way: "Those ants you indulged are now in big trouble. One area of ​​the battlefield turned into a mercury lake, completely blocking the devil's path. Now that the demonic forces are adjusting, the pressure on other war zones will increase. If this continues, there will be problems on the front. "

It's not that Bayer didn't know the movements of Amberxiu's mercury figurines, he was quite surprised that these inconspicuous little things could do this. As for the impact on the battlefield, they were actually minimal.

The Blood River battlefield is too big, and the changes in such a small area are completely worth mentioning. Every day, new war zones collapse, and old war zones clean up all the demons. The battle line has always been in dynamic balance. Bayer is just exaggerating to test It's just Zariel's attitude.

In the normal situation of Zariel, if Bayer questioned his orders in the slightest, he would definitely suffer a round of punishment.

There is a strict hierarchy among devils. How can subordinates have the right to question their superiors? Even if the superiors are wrong, this is a kind of blasphemy.

Bayer was waiting. If Zariel chose to change the subject, or showed any signs of embarrassment, he would immediately directly question him about his situation and whether the laws of the first level of hell had changed.

However, Zarrell's reaction was a bit unexpected. Zarrell did not punish Bayer harshly, nor did he judge him either way. Instead, he followed Bayer's words and said: "It's good for problems to arise. Problems are what I want. This bloody battlefield should change. Bayer, I order you to change your tactics and push back all those demons, regardless of any losses!"

Bayer's eyes widened in confusion, not understanding why Zarrell was so crazy.

Although the devils are also ants who are willing to die, the number of devils is far less than that of devils. They must rely on the current blood river front to stabilize. A forceful counterattack is not impossible, but the casualties will be very terrifying. It will take away the wealth of the hells, and it will also require the full support of the devils from other levels of hell.

But the question is, why do this.

Bayer quickly said: "This makes no sense. A temporary counterattack cannot last long. Instead, it will cause gaps in our troop replenishment, and the Blood River will be lost by then."

"Hmph, idiot, you have no idea what hell has become like now. There are too many lords bankrupt in Hell Bank due to debt, and the nine levels of hell have been affected. These lord-level devils were originally No need to participate in the bloody battle, but now they have no choice but to sell themselves.

"Mammon is already sorting out the list. The first batch of prisoners will be sent soon. Their strength is not comparable to that of ordinary slaves. If you don't consume them as soon as possible, they will make great contributions and destroy the people of Blood River Fortress. The warehouse was emptied."

Zariel's statement not only shocked Bayer, but also Cyric, who was hiding aside to watch the show, was stunned.

They all know about Hell Bank, but is its influence already so strong?

The idea that sinners go to hell to be tortured is actually not quite correct to a certain extent. If you have the ability and brains, even if you are a heinous sinner, you can still live a good life in hell.

By becoming a little lord in hell, you can be carefree for hundreds of years, transfer your pain to the devils below, live by squeezing others, and have no worries about food, drink, and entertainment.

As time goes by, these lords become stronger and stronger, and they are careful not to fight with devils of the same level. This will form a solidified class, resulting in the same group of devil lords hundreds of years ago and those hundreds of years later.

The main reason is that it is too difficult for latecomers to compete. Most devils are immortal. Time will accumulate strength and wealth for them, and latecomers cannot compare with them.

So where are these evil people suffering in hell? They are clearly here to enjoy blessings.

After the promotion of Hell Bank, these hell lords were forced to engage in an arms race, and then they were forced to start fighting, and they were forced to start fighting each other.

As a result, a large number of established lords were finished, either directly killed in the battle or going bankrupt. Not to mention those who died in the battle, naturally there would be successors who would inherit everything they had. Those who go bankrupt will have all valuable things swallowed up by the hell bank, and even themselves will become slaves.

So where is the need for slaves?

Of course it was the bloody river battlefield.

Each level of hell has the obligation to provide equipment and troops to the Blood River battlefield. This is the law of hell and cannot be violated.

Of course, these bankrupt hapless ghosts are sent to the battlefield. A new hell lord needs to take over, and the old guys cannot be tolerated to continue to exist. Staying in the original place is still a factor of instability, so of course they must be sent away as soon as possible.

Therefore, Blood River Fortress is about to see a large-scale increase in combat effectiveness. These hell lords who have lived for many years are all very capable. It is definitely not possible to arrange troops in the previous way. It is too easy for these old guys to gain meritorious service. .

No matter how stingy the Blood River Fortress is, it will be difficult to stop this group of powerful devils from bullying the little devils. Then the financial pressure will be all on the Blood River Fortress.

Therefore, counterattacking the Abyss is a good choice and a way to maintain stability.

Bayer was unknowingly taken away from the topic and began to think about how to arrange a counterattack. It was necessary to consume the sudden increase in combat power without losing too much and causing the front to collapse. This was a headache.

Zariel sneered and was about to disconnect the communication when Cyric quickly gave Bayer a reminder.

The skull coin in Bayer's palm vibrated, causing him to wake up. Now is not the time to talk about this. Bayer said quickly: "Then you need to give me permission to re-modify the spatial barrier on the Blood River battlefield."

As a commander, the only thing Bayer can control is the troops of Blood River Fortress. Things related to the laws of space and time are not truly designed to be called. Every time, Zarrell needs to delegate authority.

According to Zarrell, adjustments should be made in advance, but Zarrell hesitated and said, "What's the hurry? We'll wait until Mammon delivers the people."

This time, the coin in Bayer's hand started to heat up, which showed that Zarrell was hiding something.

Bayer was very moved. Could it be that what Cyric said was true? Is there really something wrong with Zariel?

Bayer quickly asked: "When will this wait? I must get the list now, and then make adjustments according to the list. When those prisoners arrive, I can immediately adjust the front line and start a counterattack. Give me the authority to hell now!"

Zarrell suddenly said angrily: "Bayer, who do you think you are talking to?"

The skull badge in Bayer's palm is getting hotter and hotter, proving that what Zarrell is hiding is becoming more and more obvious.

"I'm talking to the owner of the first level of hell." Bayer said solemnly: "But now it seems that there is something wrong with you, the fallen angel. Zarrell, don't tell me that you lost the first level. The power of the law of hell!”

Zarrell glanced at Bayer and did not answer the question. He just said calmly: "Then you can try and take back this bronze fortress again."

After saying this, Zariel completely disconnected the communication without any explanation.

Bayer threw back the skull badge that was so hot in his palm, and then said to Cyric: "You are right, something is wrong with Zariel, he must be in some big trouble."

Cyric smiled and said, "Then are you ready to take action now?"

Being able to see the two devil princes fighting desperately was not a bad trip at all.

However, Bayer shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. I can only confirm that something is wrong with Zariel, but I don't know how weak he is, let alone why he is weak. What if this is a trap? "

Cyric shook his head and said, "It won't be a trap, I'm sure."

Lies, verbal traps, double traps... No matter what kind, Cyric can sense it. This is his power. No one can deceive him except himself. Even if he just has this thought, Cyric can sense it.

This is also the reason why Cyric is so confident in what he does. As long as he doesn't go crazy, he can handle everything.

Bayer said: "Even if it's not a trap, we don't know what happened to Zariel. Let me tell you the truth, even without the help of the laws of hell, Zariel himself is stronger than me."

Zariel was formerly a brave and fearless angel.

When Heavenly Mountain discovered that the hell devils were slacking off in their work, causing the devils to roam everywhere in the heavens, and the Blood River battlefield retreated again and again, it had reached a very dangerous situation, so Zariel was sent to supervise the battle.

Zariel was angry at the cowardice of the devils and the over-caution of Mount Heaven, and made an impulsive decision. He wanted to punish those cowards personally, so he took the initiative to invade Hell to hunt down those devils, breaking the tacit understanding between Mount Heaven and Hell. Therefore, Zariel was captured by the devils of Hell and then severely trained to become a fallen angel.

He was fallen, but if Zariel himself had no ability, he would not have been sent to the Blood River to supervise the battle.

Bayer had seen how powerful Zariel was, and even if he did not use the laws of Hell, he could not beat him.

Therefore, Bayer felt that he should first figure out what happened to Zariel, but Xirik was too lazy to waste time with him.

"In that case, you can investigate slowly and give me what I want first."

Bayer said coldly: "It is stated in the contract that you have to help me deal with Zariel, don't think about shirking your debt!"

Cyric said: "Wait until you make a decision before coming to me. I can't wait for you to investigate slowly for decades. The souls I want to save can't wait until that day."

Dealing with Zariel is not a problem. Cyric already has a lot of enemies, and it doesn't matter if there is one more fallen angel. Moreover, He throws out only a clone, so it doesn't matter if there is any accident.

So Cyric doesn't intend to shirk his debt.

It's just that Harvey must be rescued now, otherwise there will be no second suitable candidate.

Obviously, Bayer also understands this, so he can only lend the furnace that can repair souls and provide Cyric with a small amount of soul coins.

Bayer reminded, "Let me make it clear first. This thing can indeed repair the damage to the soul, but it does not mean that there are no side effects at all. So if there is any accident, I will not be responsible."

The technology of Hell is notoriously simple and crude, with huge side effects, because it is all used on the devil, and there is no need to have any mercy on sinners. For example, the Hell Engine is directly inserted into the body through live dissection.

The same is true for the furnace used to repair the soul. It directly turns the soul coin into soul essence and repairs the soul damage like pasting a wall. The precision is definitely not good, and it is very likely to cause side effects such as memory loss or dizziness and headache. Bayer must explain it clearly to Xirik, so as not to cause trouble for himself later.

Xirik did not care about this little problem. He just asked Harvey to be a sacrifice. It didn't matter whether it would have any impact on the soul. As long as Harvey remembered the evil thoughts in his heart and could complete the ceremony, it would be enough.

However, to be on the safe side, Xirik did not take the things back, but directly repaired Harvey here in the Blood River Fortress.

Poor Harvey, he was not dead yet, but he went to hell first.

Harvey was simply and roughly stuffed into the incinerator-like machine, and then it began to burn soul coins to replenish Harvey. This machine can automatically find defects in the soul and automatically repair them at the same time, which is more professional than Xirik doing it himself.

The machine rumbled, and soul coins began to be consumed continuously.

The huge repair progress was displayed on the machine.

"The current soul repair progress is 1%... Insufficient fuel, please add..."

Xirik and Bayer were dumbfounded when they looked at the thousands of soul coins that had just been poured in. What's wrong with this kid? To repair his soul, at least 100,000 soul coins are needed? !
