This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 636 Postscript 2 The future belongs to young people after all

The candlelight flickered, and the tip of the quill rustled on the parchment.

Although magic mirrors have been completely popularized in today's hell, handwritten notes have become an old thing that cannot keep up with the times, but Huggie Stone still likes the feeling of writing on paper with the tip of a pen.

How many world famous works were written tenderly or passionately by lonely authors in such quiet nights.

As a scholar, Huggie Stone still prefers to record history in a traditional way.

"In the eighty year of the Fraudulent Calendar, Avernus is celebrating the eightieth anniversary of the Grand Duke's assumption of office.

"Among all the devils, he is probably the only one who gets the heartfelt love from all the devils. But the devils don't understand that their lives today are not much better than they were eighty years ago.

"The **** battle that can lead to death at any time has been replaced by the undead. Most devils no longer need to worry about the **** battle, but they need to work hard throughout their lives, and the money they earn can be enough to 'hire' the undead to join the **** battle on their behalf.

"But they don't know that the value they create is actually enough to exchange for a good territory. It is obvious that zombies can be mass-produced by just throwing in a piece of stinky meat, but it takes the devils to work for a whole year to exchange them, and this undead even went to the The battlefield will be scrapped due to various reasons in less than one time..."

Reinserting the quill into the inkwell, Huggie Stone blew on the ink.

Hell has changed drastically in just a few decades, and horrific inflation has been accepted by the devils in another way. It seems that tortures such as death and violence have decreased, and life seems to have become better and more convenient, but the smarter the devil, the more he can see the problems of hell.

The devils in the past could still think about fighting for a future, but in Avernus today, there is no future at all.

All devils can only be swept up in the torrent and then drowned.

Of course there will be unwilling careerists. In the past eighty years, there have been more than forty rebellions, large and small, but the result is the same every time.

The so-called rebel army collapsed on its own without the deceiver Archduke lifting a finger. Either they were torn apart by the fanatical devils who supported the Archduke the Deceiver, or they fought among themselves due to internal discord.

To paraphrase the words of that adult: "Hell is the least fearful place for rebellion, because heroes will not appear here, and the proportion of self-righteous idiots is too high. Even if they cooperate on the surface, everyone is thinking of taking advantage and taking advantage of loopholes."

Every rebellion only served to fill the Devil's treasury even more.

All in all, Avernus flourished under the stewardship of the Archduke the Deceiver, and the various souls it produced became increasingly refined.

What, a soul that resists heroically and is not afraid of death? It doesn't even rank among the collection of the Grand Duke of Deceiver.

Only those who are born smart and can see through everything, but are unable to change it no matter how hard they try, and who ultimately end themselves in various ways, are qualified to be put up for auction and become the collection of the Devil.

Such a **** satisfies the gods and the laws of hell.

Torturing these sinners should begin spiritually.

The whole **** has been hearing the screams caused by torture for tens of thousands of years, and is tired of hearing them. Instead, it is the despair of drawing a sword and looking around, and the laws of **** have just tasted a little bit.

This caused the Grand Duke of Deceiver to control more and more power, so that the smiles on the faces of the Demon Dukes in other levels of **** became brighter and brighter, well, fake smiles were also smiles.

This deceiver will not remember who is particularly polite to him, but he will definitely remember who is not polite enough to him.

It is precisely because He treats you equally and indiscriminately carries out mental torture regardless of whether you are a low-level evil devil or an archduke of devils, which makes the position of the archduke of deceivers more and more secure.

Huggie Stone couldn't help feeling that he was lucky and was in the right position, so his life was pretty good now.

And there are many lucky people like him.

Gareth, the good brother of the Archduke the Devil, eventually became a god, and after his promotion, he set up an ambush with the Archduke the Deceiver. All the evil gods who habitually came to fight the autumn wind and bully the new gods fell into trouble. Several evil gods with surnames were crushed to death and turned into decorations of Gareth's kingdom.

It was just that there was a clear opportunity to compete for the priesthood of the God of Death. In the end, Gareth became the race **** of the Headless Horseman with the help of Yeager.

It's strange to say that the Headless Horseman is just an undead. How can the undead have any race? The undead that creates different shapes are still undead.

However, Yeager is still powerful, and he helped Gareth become the **** of the race, just like the King of Ghouls.

From now on, the Headless Horseman will become an undead unit that cannot be created with necromancy, and become a "sub-undead" race that can reproduce on its own.

Like ghouls and lichs.

Ghouls are transformed through special viral infections, lichs reproduce through special rituals, and the headless horseman can now be transformed through a special head-cutting ceremony, but only if Gareth, the **** of the headless horseman, does not will block. In other words, as long as Gareth is not willing, it will be difficult for a new headless horseman to appear in this world.

Now the mortal necromancers will have a headache. If these undead continue to play like this, it will be difficult to create even skeletons and zombies in the future.

Huggie Stone felt that it was a pity. The God of Death was so good, he thought about it too, but now it seems that no one has this qualification.

The former members of the Mourning Poets Society have not changed much, but they have become gods one after another, and the gold content of the members has increased a lot.

The job of the God of Death is still pending. The ghoul Yugashi, who most desires to become the God of Death, has been expelled because he was on the wrong team and violated the rules that members of the poetry club cannot fight each other.

But ten years ago, Yeager brought a young child into the poetry club.

I heard that he is only twenty-six years old and is a talented necromancer.

Although he is a necromancer, it is the first time for a living person to join the Mourning Poets Society. It can only be said that Kelanwo really didn't want to do it anymore, so Jaeger was a little anxious.

Huggie Stone turned his head and looked at the wall. There was a huge oil painting hanging on it, which was the memory of the time when the Mourning Poets Society gathered together.

Huggie Stone still remembers that he had to remind Amberxiu to transform into a human form, otherwise he would look like a skeleton in front of a group of legendary undead.

The Mourning Poets Club at that time was really lively.

Huggie Stone looked away and said with emotion: "Oh, but according to the president's standards, who else is qualified to be the God of Death besides that guy?"

Jaeger's standards for the God of Death were too harsh. He no longer wanted to find a candidate who would get bored after working for a few years and give up. However, the job of the God of Death was too boring, yet very important, and the mental pressure was high.

The undead's emotions are stable enough, so it would have been the best choice. But the undead will go crazy when encountering obsessions, and it is inevitable to become gods.

Yeager is a typical person who wants both. He wants the undead to be emotionally stable, but also wants the undead to transcend his own obsessions.

Who else, of course, is the Duke of Deceiver.

Ever since he met the goddess of fate, the life of the Grand Duke of Deceiver suddenly became clear. He had ruled Avernus for decades with a smile on his face. Many devils felt that this Grand Duke was too kind and too kind. Easy to talk to.

This old friend is no longer obsessed with resisting the illusory fate, and his life should not be too comfortable.

And precisely because it was so comfortable, Jaeger's invitation was unattractive to him.

In a few years, this **** may not belong to Asmodeus anymore. Why give up this and become a lonely **** of death?

The God of Death has too many rules, and Yeager is still keeping a close eye on them, so it is impossible to let Amber Xiu mess around.

Therefore, Yeager was ultimately unable to convince Amber Xiu and could only choose to continue training new people.

After his thoughts wandered for a while, Huggie Stone picked up the quill again and began to write his history of **** again.

"Although the Grand Duke of Deceiver has no intention of invading and plundering other planes, the magic mirror he created continues to have an impact on all heavens and worlds. The magic mirror has been integrated into every aspect of each plane, almost monopolizing the spread of knowledge.

"After dark, recite the spell in front of the magic mirror, and the omniscient blue devil will appear and answer any questions you have. You can exchange the same knowledge, but if you cannot provide the corresponding knowledge, you must use Pay the price with your own soul.

"This dangerous contract has attracted countless ambitious people. The mages pursue dangerous magical knowledge, the powerful pursue the secrets and weaknesses of their opponents, and the humble hope to obtain life-changing pursuits from the devil. These greedy souls are It is the most precious commodity in hell, and this business has prevented the Grand Duke of Deceiver from actively printing soul coins for many years. His wealth cannot be spent at all.

“The gods of Paradise Mountain were quite critical of this, and even Ogma, the Lord of Knowledge, once believed that this was a wrong way to spread knowledge, but in the end they were unable to curb the greed of mortals for the unknown.

“After all, gods are not omnipotent.

"The same is true for the Grand Duke of Deceiver, but he is a devil who is easier to satisfy and knows how to restrain his desires. A few years ago, there were rumors that Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, hopes to let the Archduke of Deceiver and his daughter live together. If it really succeeds, then the Deceiver Duke will undoubtedly be the next Lord of Hell.

"But rumors are just rumors after all. This Devil Archduke is emotionally single-minded. The goddesses who had had bad rumors with him were ultimately proven to be just pure friendships. Oh, except the Misty Lady Laila.

"This goddess took the initiative to invite more than once, and she never concealed the idea that she had nothing to offer in return but to offer her body, but in the end she failed to get what she wanted. But the Grand Duke of the Deceiver also said more than once that friendship is friendship, and transactions are Don’t involve too much personal emotion when trading and cooperating with each other. This is unprofessional. “But in private, the author also asked the fraudster what he really thought, and his answer was more straightforward. He believes that momentary happiness is not worth spending tens of millions of years in the rest of his life to pay the price. His family is happy now, so why should he put himself in the pain of having to settle old scores tens of millions of years later just for a small gain?

“Such a transaction is undoubtedly a loss.

"As the author said, this devil master knows how to restrain his desires better than other devils. Even if the other party is a goddess, a believer of the Lord of Storms, or a pet he keeps by his side..."

When the pen tip was written here, Huggie Stone suddenly trembled and felt a little floating. This description is not quite right.

Hurry and burn the one in front of you and write it again.

"The Grand Duke of Deceiver is a devil who knows how to restrain his desires. This is what distinguishes him from other great devils. The author has also heard rumors that when the Lord of Storms used his followers as gifts, he gave the Princess of the Sea Country to When he was the Grand Duke of Deceiver, he immediately saw through the Lord of Storms' sinister intentions of sowing discord.

"The Archduke the Deceiver said that he believed that a great woman who devoted her life to her faith and country would not only have love in her heart. Sending Ariel as a tool to sow discord is like using pearls as sand and pebbles buried in a wall. It is the most disturbing thing. What a waste of money.

“And the Storm Lord rarely admitted that his prank ended in failure, gave Princess Ariel true freedom, and promised to protect the Kingdom of Raging Tide from any natural disasters within a hundred years.

“Eventually, the Archduke returned to his underworld, and Princess Ariel ascended to the divine realm of Talos.

"A friend of the author once met the princess by chance and asked her if she was really relieved. Princess Ariel smiled and said, compared with the future of millions of people in the entire Raging Tide Kingdom, that scene The encounter was just a beluga whale seen on the waterway. It was a pity to miss it, but it was only a bit of a pity.

“Having witnessed that meeting again across a long period of time, the author believes that although the identity and race of the two are very different, at this moment, they can be called close friends.

"Young maniacs always like stories of love and desire, but for those legendary figures, it is the most intense and impetuous emotions that are first worn away by time. Only true ideals and pursuits can be polished into bright gems. …”

This paragraph was written quickly, and Huggie Stone felt that he had a great time writing it.

Although I have added a lot of subjective opinions, writing a book without stuffing it with personal information is worse than not writing at all.

Just as he was about to polish it up again, he heard a loud bang and the door was kicked open!

Huggie Stone was quite annoyed, and every author whose thoughts are interrupted has the urge to stab someone with a knife. But when Huggie Stone saw a little girl in her early ten years rushing in, he suddenly had a smile on his face, rubbed his hands and said.

"Donia, why are you here?"

This little girl has flowing blond hair, a perfect face like an elf, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars, which is incompatible with the environment of hell.

If she were to walk on the road, she would probably attract a lot of horrible devils who would eat her alive.

But in Avernus, no devil dared to lay his claws on the girl.

Because her name is Tonya Lotorev, and she is the recognized second princess of Avernus.

As for the first one, it is Her Royal Highness Melina who likes to run around on a war horse.

However, Tonya is not the child of the Archduke the Deceiver and Mrs. Rose. Tonya is a student of the legendary mage William Harvey, and Archmage Harvey’s teacher is the Archduke the Deceiver.

This disciple seems to be a step away, but everyone knows that the Grand Duke the Deceiver loves the Second Princess as his own, and his treatment is no worse than that of Princess Melina.

As a little princess who grew up in hell, Tonya is not a good girl, so kicking down the door is considered polite.

With a sweet smile on her face, Tonya said to the dwarf vampire: "Grandpa Stone, Tonya is here to ask for your help. I heard that you are going to the mortal world to collect information recently, right?"

Huggie Stone is now a famous writer in hell. Every once in a while, he can leave **** in the name of collecting wind. In fact, he is giving himself a vacation and enjoying the wonderful blood of the mortal world.

"Donia, you don't want me to take you out of hell, do you? I don't dare!"

Tonya stared at Heggy Stone with her big innocent eyes. However, Heggy Stone would never dare to take the little princess away privately. If anything happened, there would be an earthquake in the Nine Hells.

But as soon as the words of rejection were spoken, Tonya's eyes began to sparkle, and her pupils rolled crazily like dice until she looked at the oil painting on the wall and said slowly: "Grandpa Stone, those manuscripts behind the oil painting , "Love of Hell and Ocean", "The Night of Rejecting the Goddess"..."

"Nine levels of hell, Tonya, stop reading!"

Huggie Stone's eyes suddenly popped out of his head. With a wave of his hands, the door that had just been kicked open was instantly closed and locked with several magic locks.

Tonya showed a sly smile and said to Heki Stone: "Grandpa Stone, you don't want others to see these manuscripts, right?"

Thirty layers of magic circles were used to cover it up, and she discovered this? ! He is indeed a child raised by the devil!

Huggie Stone said helplessly: "Tonya, why do you want to run away from home suddenly?"

Tonya said firmly: "I want to find my teacher! He said he would come back in three years. This is already the sixth year. I must catch him!"

Huggie Stone remembered that he hadn't seen Harvey for several years. After being promoted to legend, this kid was just like his teacher, looking like he was old and wanted to take care of his days.

At that time, Tonya was just a soul embryo, and Harvey's main task was to raise her. This process lasted for decades, and by the time Tonya hatched, Harvey had turned into an old man with white hair.

It was obvious that a bottle of youth potion could solve the problem, but Harvey didn't seem to care about his aging. When Tonya became sensible, he left **** and went to who knows where.

Logically speaking, Harvey is the Goddess of Destiny's chosen one, and usually there won't be any problems, but being missing for so many years does make people worry.

It makes sense for Tonya to go find her teacher.

But Huggie Stone only felt that the problem of their master-disciple lineage would bring bad luck to him?

Huggie Stone said quickly: "If the Duke of Deceiver can't find him, what's the use of you going there?"

In all the worlds, who has the most connections? The Deceiver has recognized the second, and no other **** dares to recognize the first. This is a big man who can accommodate both good and evil. He can't find Harvey, so what's the use of this little girl Tonya?

But Tonya said confidently: "Of course I have a way. The goddess of fate gave me a divine message. Now it's time to go find the teacher!"

Huggie Stone asked: "Then did the goddess of fate tell you what will happen if I take you out of hell?"

Tonya said: "I can give you a divination, but once you see the future, you can't change it. Are you sure you want to divination?"

"Stop! No, thank you! Starting from your teacher's teacher, your line of prophecies has never been good!"

Huggie Stone was afraid that Tonya would blink and tell him that her death date was tomorrow. Destiny was a very evil thing, so it was better not to divulge randomly.

"But since it is the oracle of the goddess of fate, you can just tell the fraudster directly, why bother secretly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door that had just been closed was kicked open again!

This time, the heavy wooden door was kicked to pieces.

Her Royal Highness Melina, the First Princess of Avernus, appeared in front of the two of them with her hands on her hips.

"Are you two discussing escaping from **** privately?!"

Huggie Stone looked at the debris on the ground and thought, had the two princesses agreed to trick him?

Tonya panicked as soon as she saw Melina.

Who is the scariest person in Avernus? It's not the deceiver Grand Duke who smiles all day long, nor the Lady Rose, but Aunt Melina.

Although she usually seems silly and easy to deceive, if she suspects that you are lying to her, she will immediately draw her sword and kill you. Yes, even if you have any suspicion, you will take action. This is the way Princess Melina lives in hell. No one in **** dares to hold Her Royal Highness accountable.

Huggie Stone was about to explain, but he heard Melina say: "You ran away from home, why didn't you take me with you?!"

…

An hour later, the door to **** opened, and two **** princesses, one big and one small, came to the mortal world with vampires looking like they wanted to die.

When the gate of **** slowly closed, Amber Xiu and Apoptotic Rose appeared.

"You just let these two little guys run away like this?" Apoptotic Rose complained: "Do you know how many enemies you have? What if Melina and Tonya encounter an accident?"

Amberxiu said: "On the day Tonya was born, the goddess of fate appeared in person to give her a blessing. There will be no accidents with this child. Even if there is, it will be training. Melina has been domineering in **** for so many years. If she is not allowed to experience it, I'm afraid she will be a fool forever. Let them go, and I also want to know where Harvey went without even leaving a message."

Seeing that Apoptotic Rose was still uneasy, Amber Xiu held her hand and said, "Children will grow up eventually. It's time for us old guys to recognize their old age. The rest is their story."
