This lich needs more money

The carriage bumped forward on the road. Isabel sat in the carriage and looked at the castle getting closer and closer, with a complicated mood.

After the paladin arrived, all the humans in the castle were dismissed, and Isabel had to return to her original territory.

The lord who once persecuted her was dead, and the territory was annexed by the Porcupine Knight. So after receiving Amber's order, the Porcupine Knight quickly found Isabel and her brother, and then sent them to the castle in a carriage. .

Raul, who was sitting next to Isabel, seemed a little too excited. He kept rubbing the skeleton controller in his hand. Even though the alien skeleton connected to the controller had been damaged, Raul was still reluctant to throw away this useless thing.

This was proof that he had been a master, and it was also the first time he felt the benefits of power.

So when he returned to the castle and returned to the master's command, Raul looked very excited and couldn't wait to serve the lich master again.

Unlike her brother Raul, Isabel is not that eager to return to this place.

Although the Lich Master appears to be more benevolent than other lords, if humans follow an undead, the final result must be to be made into zombies or skeletons, right?

Even if he is reformed after his death, it is still the result of eternal slavery.

Is this result really a good thing?

Isabel worked so hard to become an alchemist, but she was actually a little unwilling to accept the status quo. I don’t want to be like other people my age, who just randomly find a similar man to marry, and then be exhausted by the heavy work, and close my eyes forever after having children for a few years.

She doesn't want to be buried in a grave in her thirties or forties, she wants a different life.

Fortunately, Raul is very supportive of her, so Isabel can have some free time, so that she can learn to read and "steal teachers" everywhere. I finally became an alchemy apprentice, thinking I could change my life through hard work, but found that my teacher had taught me nothing for several years.

Alchemy is the supreme knowledge, and hard work alone is far from enough to pay the tuition.

Originally, it was not bad to be an apprentice for the rest of my life. I would make more money than plowing the fields, and it would not be so tiring. I might be able to live to be over fifty.

Who could have imagined that unexpected things would happen one after another, including tax increases, persecution, escape, and then becoming a servant of a lich.

Isabel's mind kept thinking about everything she had experienced in the castle. Will she spend the rest of her life there?

Isabel felt very confused. She was just a little girl who grew up in the countryside. Being an alchemy apprentice was already the pinnacle of her life. Her wisdom and vision were not able to answer this complicated question.

But inside, I am always a little unwilling.

If she also had a good teacher, would her life be different?

Speaking of the teacher, what came to Isabel's mind was not the unsmiling bald old man, but the young ghost she had seen rarely in the castle.

The teacher only gave her a few pointers, but she learned more than she had in the previous years combined.

"By the way, since Master Lich is fine, the teacher should stay in the castle well. Maybe we can ask for advice when we meet next time."

Thinking of the generous teacher, Isabel immediately felt much relieved.

Anyway, I am still young now and there is still time before I become undead.

The wheels rolled and arrived in front of the castle.

There is still the familiar gloomy atmosphere, even on a sunny day, the castle seems to be shrouded in shadow.

Entering the castle, Isabel saw the majestic Lich Lord, and the skeleton was as scary as ever.

When he saw Isabel and Raul, Amberxiu didn't mean to say anything. He directly threw a new controller to Raul and then ordered: "The paladin has made a mess in the castle, Raul, there is a You are responsible for restoring the skeletons to their original appearance after batching them for construction.”

Raul held this new undead controller and was shaking with excitement.

As for Isabel, Amberxiu took the little girl directly to a new laboratory and used the hands of a mage to move a pile of heavy materials.

"You have one night to read these materials. Starting tomorrow, the assembly of the alien skeletons will be left to you. This is my design for the alien skeleton production line, and you are responsible for assembling this small production line."

Amberxiu's words made Isabel confused.

What alien skeleton, what production line, what only lasts for one night?

But Amberxiu had no intention of explaining. He threw a small book to her and said, "This is the catalog."

With these last words, Amberxiu left the laboratory, leaving Isabel alone in the laboratory in a daze.

There were no greetings of reunion, no concern for what happened to her, and no blaming her for running away. This straightforward feeling was still the same as before.

In the eyes of this lich master, he is just a tool with wisdom.

Isabel reluctantly picked up the small book called the catalog, opened it and took a closer look. It contained brand-new alchemical knowledge.

After a while, Isabel was mesmerized.

Creating undead should originally be a category of necromancy. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with alchemy. It can also be said that it is fundamentally different. Isabel has no spellcasting ability, and her alchemy is still at the level of mixing various materials to obtain results. Therefore, it is impossible for Isabel to resurrect the skeleton and turn the bones into undead.

But Amberxiu modified the manufacturing method of alien skeletons. Isabel did not need to directly create real undead. Her job was more like preparing materials in large quantities.

After these skeletons are processed according to Amber Xiu's requirements, and then sent into a furnace filled with dark magic, these skeletons will automatically become undead and become qualified puppets.

It sounds simple, but in practice it is not easy.

Even though Isabel was just an executor, she was confused by the complicated formulas and principles in it. This small book was just a simple summary, and the real execution details were still in the thick stack of information.

It's hard to imagine how much thought this lich master put into dismantling and transforming complex necromancy spells into assembly-line technology that mortals can operate.

If the core dark magic furnace can be solved, then any small lord in a territory can produce his own undead army.

Isabel admired the abilities of this lich master immensely. Regardless of his race, he was a respectable and profound scholar, and he was no less impressive in a place like the Alchemy City where geniuses gathered.

I just don’t know why I haven’t heard his name before.

Isabel put away her worries about gains and losses before. Now is not the time to think about the future. She must complete Lord Lich's mission first, otherwise she is likely to become one of the materials for the mission.

On the other side, Raul is also working hard.

Amberxiu prepared several specially shaped skeletons for him and asked him to be responsible for repairing the damaged parts of the castle. When the paladins dug out the phylactery, they destroyed the castle to a great extent, and many of the pits were not filled in time. Raul's work tasks are also quite heavy, and although these skeletons are obedient, they are not as flexible as humans when working. He can't help but think, if the Lich Master arranges dozens of humans as his subordinates, Then it will be much easier to work.

But Raul did not dare to make requests to the Lich Master. Raul, who was used to working under the lord, knew his position very well. He had to complete the tasks assigned by the lord before he was qualified to make suggestions to the lord.

Both brother and sister began to work hard, and Amberxiu returned to his personal laboratory with confidence.

He never forgot the pair of magic-absorbing daggers of the elves, and always felt that there was some special secret here.

The enchantment effect on the dagger is not complicated. From Amber Xiu's understanding, it seems to be based on the special abilities of creatures like the Felin Demon Sunflower. This monster looks like a long cloth bag with claws, but the mouth of the bag is full of sharp teeth, which makes it look very ferocious and scary.

It looks like it attacks with claws and sharp teeth, but in fact the Phaeling is a monster that is very good at casting spells. What's even more outrageous is that it has strong magic resistance. At the same time, the Phaeling has mastered a A unique spell that can destroy the effects of most spells.

The combination of these characteristics makes this monster the nemesis of spellcasters. There was once a great magical civilization that was destroyed by this monster.

The enchantment effect on this dagger is somewhat similar to this effect.

After hitting the target, it will destroy the magic effect existing on the target, and at the same time absorb and transform the magic power into the user's body.

To put it simply, this dagger is simply a mage killer, and Amber Xiu was almost assassinated.

But as subtle as it is subtle, there is still an important issue that Amber Xiu can't figure out. It stands to reason that the person who uses this kind of weapon will have already disabled himself when he absorbs the magic power for the first time. What happened to this elf?

The elves have grown new magical organs that can neutralize these magical powers? Or are they receiving new blessings from the gods?

"Ah, I really want to dissect a few of them and have a look."

After discovering the topic he was interested in, Amber Xiu felt his bones itching. If those elves hadn't been sold at a good price, he really wanted to put the elves on the operating table and take them apart bit by bit to study them.

But an autopsy may not be fruitful. If nothing is found after an autopsy, isn’t it a waste of money?

In the end, the expectation of ransom suppressed the pursuit of knowledge.

However, although he could not perform anatomy, Amber Xiu would not leave it alone.

The elves are about to invade in a big way, and Cicero is definitely not the only one to possess this kind of demon-breaking weapon. If he didn't want to die from the assassination of this demon-breaking weapon, Amber Xiu needed to find a way to restrain this weapon.

After thinking for a long time, Amberxiu felt that he could start from the research direction of mercury zombies.

Amberxiu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Now that the Alchemy City has become a melee area, there is no need to buy those mines, you can just grab them. Then the large-scale breeding of mercury zombies should also be put on the agenda.

"No, no, how can you have such an idea? Ms. Qiangwei has agreed to give me money to buy mines, how can I use such an uncivilized method of robbing. I should first ask Ms. Qiangwei to get the money, and then talk to those mines The boss talks about the price, it’s my ability to lower the price as much as possible.”

Amberxiu made up his mind, and took out the Code of the Undead to send a message to Apoptotic Rose: [Ms. Rose, I think the breeding plan for mercury zombies can begin. I talked about the plan to purchase a mining farm before. Is it time to put it on the agenda? 】

Two updates of 6,000 words, but I feel that the medicine has no effect at all. I will probably go to the doctor tomorrow. The update may be delayed at noon tomorrow. I will try my best to ensure that it does not take too long, sorry.
