This lich needs more money

Amberxiu really didn't expect that the censorship of tieflings would be so strict now. He also lamented that he hadn't been back for hundreds of years and couldn't even recognize the appearance of his hometown.

Amberxiu explained to this tiefling: "I haven't been back to Red River Town for many years. Maybe it has changed a lot, but I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell me how to check."

The tiefling mage breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Amber Xiu: "In fact, it's not troublesome. There is a contract here, which lists all the terms that are not allowed to be done. As long as you sign the contract, it will be fine."

Amber Xiu took the magic contract and checked it carefully.

The terms are not excessive, that is, you are not allowed to violate the laws of the kingdom, and you are not allowed to do any behavior that endangers the safety of the kingdom. Once violated, the punishment is not serious, but a red light pillar will be generated above the head, which can be seen from a distance. To that kind.

This is actually a means of protection. Criminals can detect it immediately and arrest them to reduce losses.

This seems reasonable, if not so specific.

Amberxiu pointed to the strange patterns on the contract and asked, "What are these?"

The tiefling explained: "This is an anti-counterfeiting label to prevent anyone from forging our contract and causing us trouble."

"Yeah?"

Amberxiu chuckled and used Thought Detection on this tiefling.

It turned out that this tiefling meant what he said. He indeed believed that these patterns were anti-counterfeiting labels. His superiors probably told him so.

Amberxiu sighed. There was indeed something wrong with this kingdom. The soldiers below didn't even know that these patterns were the words of the devil in hell.

The nature of the originally reasonable contract has completely changed after adding these devilish words.

The content of the contract becomes that every day in the Kingdom of Unclean Ode, one illegal act must be stopped, otherwise the contract will be violated and the soul will be taken away by the devil.

This rule is outrageous. You have to maintain law and order when traveling. Besides, what if you don’t encounter any illegal behavior?

The devil's contract doesn't matter so much, and its coercive power is super strong. If Amber Xiu signs his name, when the contract comes into effect, he will only have a chance to struggle. An ordinary person will definitely go to hell.

"How long has it been since this contract was implemented?" Amber Xiu asked.

The tiefling replied: "It's only been a few months, but the inspections have been stricter recently. There are fewer and fewer outsiders, and they are rarely used."

"Then if you don't sign, you won't be able to enter the country, right?"

"Sorry, that's the rule."

"Okay, I'll sign it."

Amber Xiu picked up the pen and left an elegant signature on the contract.

The tiefling looked at it and then said respectfully: "Thank you for your cooperation, Master Arthas."

Amberxiu nodded and left the teleportation array smoothly.

There is little point in signing a false name on the devil's contract, because the contract only requires you to actively sign, not your real name. The devil in hell only cares about his own real and fake name, but not the name of his victim.

Therefore, Ambrose did not sign under a false name. He used illusions to make others think that he signed. In fact, he did not write at all.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after Ms. Mist became a god, the effect of Laila’s real illusion spell seemed to have become a little stronger. Amberxiu did not spend much magic power to make all tieflings present fall into the illusion.

"I heard that after sleeping with the goddess of magic, all the spells you master will become stronger. According to the same principle, if you sleep with Lady Mist... tsk, it's not impossible to sacrifice if necessary."

Putting aside the idea of ​​sacrificing himself for the time being, Amber Xiu walked into the border city of Black Gate City.

There were not many people on the road and it seemed a bit depressed. Amberxiu went straight to the tavern and found that there were very few adventurers inside.

Thinking of the previous devil's contract, Amber Xiu chuckled.

"It seems that many people have fallen into the trap. Hell will make a lot of money this time."

Amberxiu came to the bar and said to the bartender: "Have a glass of Midnight Fire."

The bartender asked doubtfully: "Guest, I've never heard of this kind of wine. Is it a specialty of other places?"

After working here for almost ten years, he has never heard of wine with this name.

The tiefling bartender looked at Amberxiu in confusion. This customer looked very young. Could it be that it was his first time at the bar, so he just made up the name of a drink to show off?

Amber was about to explain, and an old man next to him said: "One portion each of blackthorn wine and ale beer, add devil's pepper powder and stir. This is the Midnight Fire. This is the wine that antiques from hundreds of years ago liked to drink."

The bartender was stunned for a moment. The old man next to him was a frequent visitor to the bar, so he probably wouldn't team up with this young man to lie to him. The bartender followed the old man's instructions and started to prepare this cup of "Midnight Fire".

Amberxiu reached out a little and quietly opened the soundproof barrier, then turned to the old man and said, "Uladimir?"

This old man is Mr. Fortune. It seems that he has been waiting for Amber Xiu here for a long time.

Mr. Fortune said with a cold expression: "I haven't heard that name in years."

Amber Xiu comforted and said, "It doesn't matter. I can call you a few more times in the past few days. If you want to hear it next time, just come to me and call me by name. I won't charge you."

Mr. Fortune glared at Amber Xiu, this lich is always so irritating!

"Didn't I tell you that it would be two months later, and you're here just half a month ago?! You bastard, will you never keep your promise?"

Amber Xiu chuckled and said: "Don't be so excited. You are already old and I don't want to make you a lich. However, you can expect that I will appear here, but I don't feel anything... Senior brother , you are finally better than me."

Mr. Fortune snorted coldly and said angrily: "I've always been better than you! You cheated that time, otherwise I would have won!"

"Okay, if you win, I'm here to help you save the world. It looks like the Tiefling Kingdom is in big trouble."

Amberxiu told Mr. Fortune about the situation he encountered at the teleportation array, and said with emotion: "They signed a contract with the devil. These tieflings are really seeking death. Are they really not afraid of the punishment of the gods?"

Mr. Fortune was helpless: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

"Such a big decision cannot be completed by one person. How can most of the members of the Injustice Council agree?"

Amberxiu remembers that their Unjust Council has thirteen seats. It’s impossible for more than half of them to agree to this method, right?

Mr. Fortune said helplessly: "I don't know, I have left the palace for a long time. They didn't trust me from the beginning, so it is difficult for me to get exact information."

When a prophecy mage says that he cannot get exact information, it means that the goddess of fate does not allow him to pry into this, otherwise he can get the result by divination.

Amberxiu naturally understood this truth and immediately felt very troublesome.

"If fate does not allow us to get the answer easily, it means that the impact of this answer is very great. Senior brother, let me ask a question first, who proposed such extreme measures in the first place?"

"Domino Lawley, she is the oldest member of the Injustice Council and a Hell Knight who has returned from hell. But in the past few hundred years, she changed her profession and became an alchemist."

"Domino Lawley? I know this name. She is a famous person. She was included in the list of famous scholars in the Alchemy City, and she ranked very high. A Hell Knight became an Unclean One and changed his profession to an Alchemist. ? This doesn’t sound right.”

Mr. Doom shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't sense any relevant information."

Amberxiu sighed and said: "Uladimir, you are indeed further ahead on the road of destiny than me, but you are too dependent on this power, can't you use your brain to think?"

Mr. Fortune fell silent, perhaps this was the price of the prophecy mage.

When you are faced with a difficult problem and the correct answer automatically appears in front of you, what else can you do but copy it?

Mr. Doom has tried to use another way to solve problems, but often finds that his method is far less simple and direct than what fate reveals. Hundreds of years have passed, and this has become a habit. Once fate no longer gives him answers, he will be confused.

Amber Xiu did not continue to mock his senior brother, but continued to ask: "Then what do you mean by two months later?"

Mr. Doom said calmly: "I predicted the day when Ryan would attack."

Amberxiu nodded, and his guess was about the same. These two months were the time he had to delay, but it could only be that long at most. With Mr. Fortune's confirmation, it seems that Lane's invasion is a definite and unchangeable future.

"Okay, then let me solve the tiefling problem in more than a month. At least before the war begins, we don't need to worry about the tiefling kingdom falling into hell."

Mr. Fortune frowned and said, "It's up to you? Goddess Fate won't let me see the future of the kingdom. Do you think you can?"

"Look at you, you are always trying to copy the answers. I have my own way."

Perhaps it is related to his background. Nobles like Mr. Fortune did not need to think too much since he was a child. He has been using it since he got the power of destiny, and it has always been easy to use. There is no pressure.

Amberxiu came from a poor background and encountered countless troubles. He understood that when taking risks, he could encounter any kind of troubles, so he had to know a little bit about everything and the same problem would only be safe if he had different solutions.

Mr. Fortune had no choice but to ask Amber to come over and asked, "What do you need?"

"First, I need all the information about Domino Lawley. Second, I need you to introduce me to the Injustice Council."

Mr. Fortune nodded and said, "Okay, just tomorrow. I can complete both of these things for you."

"That's fine."

Amberxiu smiled and picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the spicy taste that he had not seen for a long time. Although the effect of using soul perception was completely different, it still reminded him of the past.

Mr. Fortune asked: "Why did you light the Midnight Fire? Didn't you say this wine is spicy as hell?"

"Because it was the first glass of wine you invited me to drink. Wasn't it just to tease me? After so many years, I still miss it." Amberxiu drank the wine in the glass, and then said to Mr. Fortune said: "Brother, thank you."

Mr. Fortune asked strangely: "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for saving Harvey. If you hadn't been waiting for him here, he wouldn't have been able to return within a day, and he would have gone to hell long ago." Amberxiu said.

Since everyone who enters the city has to sign a contract, Harvey must have signed it as well. I am afraid this kid did not understand the devilish writing on it and was deceived. Thanks to Mr. Fortune, Harvey would have gone to hell if he had stayed here for more than a day.

After hearing this, Mr. Fortune was silent for a long time, and then said: "I have never found a suitable disciple in my life, but you, a bastard, can find such a talented disciple. I can't bear to let such a genius die like this. "

Mr. Fortune said slightly sadly: "It seems that no matter how hard I try, Goddess of Fortune loves you the most."
