This Lich Needs More Money

Cyric has always advocated the way of controlling others by staying out of the matter.

Just like what he himself said, lying should not affect oneself whether it succeeds or fails. This is the right choice.

Therefore, Cyric is rarely caught. Even when he is crazy, he acts according to this instinct, so the enemies such as the Lord of Dawn can never catch him.

It is good enough for Amber to catch an insignificant clone.

But Amber wants more than just this. If Cyric is defeated and then tries to plot against him, it will be very annoying.

Therefore, Amber hopes to solve the problem at one time.

And the easiest way to solve Cyric is to directly deprive him of his priesthood.

Amber is not Io, and he is not qualified to deprive the priesthood of the gods, but there is no way to deal with Cyric.

Just like Zariel finally failed to keep his position as the devil's archduke, now as long as Amber can spend some time, there may be a chance to snatch Cyric's priesthood.

The method is also very simple. Win over Xirik in the matter of lies, and it is a complete victory. This will probably make Xirik's priesthood automatically stripped and transferred to Ambersu.

At that time, Xirik will become a mortal again.

And Xirik's clone is exactly what Ambersu needs.

It is difficult for sinners to leave hell. Now Xirik even finds it difficult to commit suicide.

Ambersu mobilized huge divine power in front of Xirik, and layers of mysterious magic arrays appeared in front of Xirik, layer by layer, forming a huge magic array that can cover the sky.

Xirik looked at what was in front of him and was surprised to find that he couldn't understand it.

With his knowledge, he couldn't understand what Ambersu was doing. He could only feel that this huge magic array consumed a lot of divine power, but he couldn't feel the effect at all.

Xirik didn't bother to be polite with Amber Xiu, and asked directly: "What are you doing?"

Amber Xiu didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and pinched it, and the magic circles that had just been stacked up quickly shrank and merged into Amber Xiu's palm, as if nothing had happened.

After doing all this, Amber Xiu said to Xirik: "I'll give you a chance, let's bet."

Xirik asked doubtfully: "What bet?"

"Betting on whether I can solve the problem of these five demon lords without taking action."

Xirik said disdainfully: "Why should I bet with you?"

"Because this is your only chance to beat me. Of course, you don't have to accept it. I won't block your mouth. I will take you to meet your five allies. You can use your wisdom to stop me."

Amber Xiu took Xirik in the cage and walked out of the library in one step and came to the Blood River battlefield.

There was a large area of ​​lava below, but countless black lightnings kept falling above the lava. This was someone breaking through the space of hell and forcing his way into hell.

Amber Xiu did not stop him, but stretched out his finger and gently swiped it, and a huge space door appeared in front of him.

Countless eye demons rushed out from it, and various magic lights shot everywhere. However, there were no demons stationed here for a long time, only Amber Xiu, the lord of the plane.

These intensive magic attacks could not shake the devil duke, but Amber Xiu fixed him with a look.

After a while, a huge eyeball appeared in the space door.

The moment he saw the eyeball, Amber Xiu felt nauseous and dizzy. Although it was not too obvious, this uncomfortable feeling still surprised him.

This eye demon mistress would not come in her real body, the effect of mental disturbance was too exaggerated.

But this did not affect Amber Xiu's confidence. Amber Xiu said to the big eyeball: "Welcome to my hell, but it seems that the door is still too small. I need to open it a little wider. Would you please come in?"

The pupil of the big eyeball contracted, as if he did not expect Amber Xiu to say such a thing.

He came to invade, and this devil duke opened the door directly?

Is there a conspiracy?

There must be a conspiracy.

Although the Eye Demon Mother is also a demon, she is of a relatively high IQ and has complete logical thinking.

Sensing that something is wrong, the demon's suspicious nature began to take over.

He glanced around and soon saw Xirik in Amber's hand.

At this moment, the Eye Demon Mother felt something was wrong.

Xirik was the contact person for this joint invasion. How could his clone be in the hands of this demon? If so, all the plans have been known by the other party.

Even if he knew, this demon still appeared in front of him so calmly.

Something is wrong.

Didn't Xirik say that this demon had lost most of his divine power, but he didn't see that from his performance just now.

Could it be that...

At this moment, Amber sighed: "Alas, you are worthy of being the Eye Demon Mother. You saw through it."

Amber spread his hands, making the space gate even bigger. The huge body of the Eye Demon Mother appeared on the opposite side of the space gate, like a mountain body suspended in the chaotic void.

Amber made an inviting gesture, waiting for the powerful demon lord to enter his territory.

The body of the Eye Demon Mother exuded powerful magic power. Without deliberately using it, countless black lightnings appeared and disappeared around her body. That was the effect of the mutual repulsion between the power of the abyss and hell.

This kind of black lightning slowly appeared on Amber Xiu's body. It was the mother of beholders trying to invade hell with her power.

The two gods didn't even move a finger, but the battle of power had already begun. Just a moment later, the beholder mother's big eyes shrank to the size of a pinhead, and she roared at Cyric: "You are indeed the prince of lies, I almost fell into your trap!"

After leaving these words, the mother of beholders issued a silent order for all beholders to quickly retreat from the space gate.

Cyric didn't even react. Why did the Mother of Beholders leave so easily?

"What on earth did you do?!" Cyric asked Amberxiu angrily.

Amberxiu said with a smile: "You have seen with your own eyes what I did. I just invited the Beholder Mistress to come in, but she refused to come."

After thinking for a few seconds, Cyric explained himself: "It was you who scared him away. Beholders are not good people. It is their nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. I found that you still have the power of the devil, and he did not dare to enter hell. He did not dare to Enter your kingdom."

Amberxiu said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's more than that. When you contacted these demon lords, you must have given them many promises. My strength is weak is just one of them. You also told them that no gods will take action. Help me, right? Since my divine power has not been weakened, then your previous promise that no other gods will help is also false. "

Cyric was speechless.

For these demons, if there is even the slightest crisis in trust, everything will evaporate.

Not only the Mother of Beholders thinks so, but other demon lords may also think so.

That's why he vowed to make all five demon lords quit without using any violent means.

As if to cheer himself up, Cyric said loudly: "No way, you can't do it!"

"Then why don't you take a gamble? There are still four demon lords waiting for me. I believe you know their characters better than me. I allow you to speak at any time. When I persuade them with words, you You can absolutely refute it. So, this condition is already very generous to you, right?"

Cyric now understands why Ambox is so powerful. Compared with Zariel, this lich is indeed more like a devil.

He seems ready to make you an offer you can't refuse at any time.

If he can really allow himself to refute at any time, then no matter what conditions Ambrose puts forward, Cyric can refute them on the spot, whether it is deception or threats, as long as he forces Ambrose to use violent means, then he will win. Why not try such a simple bet?

"What's the stakes?" Cyric asked.

The prince of lies finally couldn't help but be moved.

"It's simple, if you lose, your priesthood, your wealth, soul and body, everything belongs to me. On the contrary, if I lose, then everything I have belongs to you. Win everything, or have nothing, How about it? It’s exciting, right?”

Cyric wanted to agree, but he hesitated after hearing the bet.

He always likes to stir up dissension in other places, whether it is spreading rumors or lying, there is one premise, that is, it never involves himself. But if you make a bet with Amber Xiu, you will really lose everything if you lose.

Amberxiu didn't give him time to think, and moved to another location in hell again, tearing open the second space door.

This time, what appeared in front of them were the six-armed snake demons pouring out like a tide, and the six-armed snake demon king Shakatri.

Seeing this demon lord, Cyric suddenly became excited.

Shakatri is not an ordinary demon lord. If anyone in the entire abyss is the most enthusiastic about participating in bloody battles, it must be Shakatri.

He is the most active demon lord in the bloody war, as old as the bloodline of the Lord of Hell, and the most traditional tanar'ri demon in the abyss. Therefore, Shakatri was particularly keen on participating in bloody battles and once achieved brilliant results. It is said that the reason why the devil princes in ancient times were replaced by new generations was because Shakatri killed them.

This man once almost captured the Blood River Fortress and could be said to be a role model among demons.

But later I heard that he was plotted by three mysterious demons, and they teamed up with Shakatri’s enemies to imprison him. Therefore, this demon lord has not been seen on the Blood River battlefield for a long time.

A few years ago, Shakatri successfully escaped from trouble. Although he was still very weak, his hatred for the devil must have become stronger.

Cyric spent little effort in persuading Shakatri. Shakatri, who came for revenge, could not be scared away by Amber's words.

Just when Cyric was about to accept the bet with Amber Xiu, Amber Xiu said politely to the snake demon queen: "Beautiful lady, are you planning to let me open the door to welcome you in? Or do you want to leave like the mother of beholders?"

Without thinking, Cyric immediately said loudly: "Don't listen to this devil, he is deceiving you, Shakatri, rush to hell, other demon lords are working hard to invade, as long as you join forces, he is definitely not yours opponent."

The snake demon's eyes were blood red after seeing Amber Xiu, but he hesitated and stopped after hearing Cyric's voice.

Amberxiu did not stop Cyric from speaking. Instead, he stretched out his hand and sent the cage containing Cyric to the door of space, making it easier for Cyric to face the snake demon queen.

Shakatli's vertical pupils stared at Xirik, and she asked in a low voice: "Is this your plan? The Great Mistress has retreated?"

Shakatli's voice is uniquely hoarse, and it makes people's bones numb when they hear it, as if countless poisonous snakes are crawling inside. Xirik is now just a clone, and it is difficult to bear this pressure, so he can only grit his teeth and persist.

Faced with Shakatli's questioning, Xirik didn't think about it, and habitually said: "The Great Mistress is just watching temporarily. The power of this devil is not as weak as imagined. The Great Mistress has opened up the space and can support at any time."

"Is this your plan?!" Shakatli roared again.

The Great Mistress ran away when she saw that the situation was not right, and now Xirik is still fooling himself to keep moving forward?

Although the Snake Demon Mother hates the devil more, the Demon Lord is not a fool, and he will not jump into it even though he knows there is a pit.

How can the devil archduke who has not been weakened by divine power and has the power of the whole world be blessed?

Shakatri had just been released and was still weak. It was fine to fight a favorable battle, but if she rushed into hell alone to face the devil duke, Shakatri would be suppressed quickly.

If others didn't know it by then, she would definitely suffer a great loss.

Xirik had also reacted now. Now he should appease the Snake Demon Queen and dispel her doubts. The best way was to let her wait for a while... Wait, if he did that, wouldn't this devil solve another demon lord?

No, the Snake Demon Queen must be allowed to rush into hell, otherwise other demon lords would choose to wait and see, waiting for others to die first.

In this way, Amberxiu could really solve all the demon lords without bloodshed.

The plan went wrong at the beginning. He misjudged the remaining strength of Amberxiu, and all the subsequent arrangements were misplaced.

Xirik must make up for it now.

He must provoke the anger of the Snake Demon Queen and let her continue to invade with her demons.

"Shakatri, I thought you were the most evil demon, the Abyss Lord who hated demons the most, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of such a small danger. It seems that the days you were imprisoned have worn away your sharpness and will. You only need to divide a little power and create a powerful clone to enter hell, and you will immediately understand that the devil in front of you is just bluffing.

"Maybe his power has not completely disappeared, but the five demon lords joined forces, even if they only transformed into clones, it is enough to kill this demon in your hands. He is just a mortal who has just been promoted. Can this scare you so much that you dare not take action? If so, then I shouldn't have cooperated with you in the first place. It is really a shame for the demon lord. "

Xirik chose the provocation method. Now he had no more cards to throw out, so he could only choose the provocation method, hoping that Shakatri had not completely forgotten the hatred in his heart.

And the provocation method really worked. Shakatri's eyes ignited with blood-red flames, and anger became real.

Recalling the scene of being plotted against by those demon lords, the days of imprisonment and torture, his hatred drove him to hell.

Even in a weak state, Shakatri can still swing the sword. He is still the most evil demon.

At most, it just consumes a little power...

The chaotic and warlike nature of the demons prevailed at this time. Not every demon lord is as rational and restrained as the great mistress. Most of them are the type who will go berserk after a little chicken.

Xirik could see that his plan was successful. He was looking at Amberxiu proudly, and then he heard Amberxiu, who had been silent for a long time, speak: "Snake Demon Queen, although I am a demon and I am hostile to you. But I understand the feeling of being imprisoned and tortured. When I was a mortal, I also experienced countless tortures. It's not just the loss of freedom, but also torture and humiliation.

"The prisoner's self-esteem is trampled, and his body and mind are tortured, so revenge is a natural position. I understand you very well, really."

Shakatli's squirming body was stunned. What is this devil talking about?

Did he think that he would give up revenge like this?

The long knife in Shakatli's hand reached Amber's throat and roared: "Put away your eloquence, devil, I won't listen to your nonsense anymore!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Xirik was so excited that he wanted to shout.

Quick, fight, fight now, this devil will not dare to be arrogant anymore.

What can repel all demons with words alone? It's just his self-boasting.

Only one step away, as long as Shakatli walks into hell and swings a knife at Amber, even if it doesn't hit, Xirik can win the bet.

But just as Shakatri was about to command the snake demon army behind her to charge, Amber said the last sentence: "Revenge is the right choice, but if the revenge target is wrong, it will be useless. Shakatri, I have just been promoted from a mortal, so your previous imprisonment has nothing to do with me. If you consume a lot of divine power today, how many years will you have to wait before you can take revenge on your real enemy?

"How long will it take for the demon lord to recover his original strength? One thousand years, or five thousand years?

"If you waste your energy in vain and then fall into weakness again, aren't you afraid that you will be caught by the mastermind again and imprisoned and humiliated again? Maybe the moment you take action, you will fall into the trap again."

This time, Shakatri had to stop twisting her tail.

When Xirik saw that something was not right, he said quickly: "Don't listen to him, no devil will help him, this is his test!"

Amber Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, no one will help me, because of this, other devils never mind using me as bait in exchange for a little benefit. Even if I have no resistance, what can the invasion of demons do in the end? Conquer the Blood River Fortress, slaughter the devils on the first floor, and then be driven back by other devil dukes.

"In this process, you just killed a devil who has no grudge against you, and you not only have to risk stepping into the trap, but also completely lose the opportunity for accurate revenge. "

Shakatli said excitedly: "Damn devil, what are you talking about? !"

Xirik said angrily: "No, don't listen to him! "

However, Shakatri was already attracted by Amber's words. She ignored Xirik's shouts and just stared at Amber waiting for his next words, expecting this devil to say what he cared about most.

Amber did not disappoint Shakatri and said without hesitation: "Please retreat for the time being. If you are willing to give me this face, I will find the devils who framed you and help you get revenge."

Shakatri roared: "Why should I believe you, cunning devil!"

"Betting on my honor as the devil's grand duke, you should know that the devil values ​​contracts, and you can also inquire about my reputation. I promised Talos to offer him a goddess as a bride, and finally succeeded. I promised to build a soul bank for the devils and completely monopolize the soul transactions in hell, which also succeeded.

"At that time, I was just a mortal. Now I just want to find those devils hiding behind the scenes. As the master of the first layer of hell, can't I do it?"

The promises of the devils are not good things, but the conditions thrown by Amberxiu are too attractive, and the examples he cited are too convincing.

The fact that Talos married the goddess of Kuo-Tao fishmen is known to all gods, and it is a feat that can be passed down for thousands of years.

Shakatli recalled the various news she had heard. It was indeed as Amberxiu said. No matter how incredible the things he promised were, they were successfully completed in the end.

This reputation is much better than that of Xirik, or more trustworthy than any devil.

Shakatli looked at Xirik again, hoping that the prince of lies could say something.

It's not that Shakatli wants to give Xirik a chance, but in negotiations, multiple people bidding can always force more benefits.

However, Xirik has nothing to say now.

All of Xirik's previous transactions were to stay out of it and never harm himself. Now, Xirik couldn't offer any bargaining chips, and couldn't agree to let Shakatri help find the devil who framed him. Even if Xirik was willing to lie, Shakatri wouldn't believe it.

This time, Amberxiu won again.

What hurt Xirik even more was that before agreeing to cooperate, Shakatri taunted him fiercely, saying, "Xirik, you are really just a useless person who talks nonsense. Compared with this fraudster, you are just a clown."

The Snake Demon Queen cut her palm and threw out a drop of poisonous blood, which mixed with the blood between Amberxiu's fingers.

The devil and the devil made a contract, Shakatri would retreat, and Amberxiu would find an enemy for him and help him complete revenge.

The contract was established, and the devil retreated.

The second demon lord also left.

Amber closed the space door and said to the gloomy Xirik: "I don't know what you were busy with just now. Have you forgotten that you haven't signed a contract with me yet? Even if Shakatli really swung the sword at me just now, I directly suppressed Him, you still won."

Xirik kept silent. Fortunately, he didn't sign a contract, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Two of the five demon lords have died, and there are three left. Is there still a chance?

Amber seemed to see through Xirik's thoughts. His palm lit up with a fiery red light, and the magical contract was suspended in it.

Amber said to Xirik in a seductive voice: "Yes, there are still three chances? The King of Ghouls, the Demon Prince, and the Doom Girl, what are the personalities of these three people, and what are their weaknesses, you know better than me, right?

"Three bets, as long as you win once, I lose. How about signing a contract with me? You better hurry up, the later you go, the lower your chances of winning. "
