This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

The rumors are indeed true, lichs are evil creatures!

It's so evil!

Isabel blushed and ran away from Amberxiu's study. If it were a human lord, she would have to spread some dirty gossip.

But in this gloomy old castle, no one cares about such insignificant things.

A group of restless people gathered in the center of the hall on the first floor of the castle. They all had their own thoughts and stared at Isabel on the stairs.

The land reclamation plan is finally announced, which is a turning point in their lives.

Isabel had never stood in front of hundreds of people and spoke. Even if she tried to muster the courage, she still struggled to speak.

"This...the Lich Master said that we can open up wasteland today...for specific arrangements, we will allocate them according to the number of young people..."

As a result, just halfway through speaking, someone asked impatiently.

Raul walked silently, and the alien skeleton followed silently behind him. The sound of footsteps and crawling bone claws echoed in the castle, as if it was even more deafening than the previous quarrel.

“Then what about our previous land? I had two acres of land and a house in the original territory!”

Seeing the chaos, Isabel was also a little panicked. The group of people became more and more excited as they talked, and they kept approaching her, as if they wanted to surround her.

This is the alien skeleton Kazik No. 1 created by Amber Xiu. Many people present have seen the power of this skeleton. When they fled, they were chased by the lord's troops. Thanks to this weird skeleton, they were able to defeat the lord's pursuers.

“I still have a cow!”

Everyone looked out and saw Raul standing in the hall with a cold face.

Raul carried the sledgehammer and walked toward the crowd step by step.

The crowd, who had been so excited just now that they wanted to rebel, now fell silent and took the initiative to separate on both sides and make way for them.

A group of people were talking, completely drowning Isabel's voice.

This skeleton looks weird, but its combat power is enough to crush a heavily armed militia squad.

Weren't you fine before? Why are these desperate refugees becoming so scary just as they are about to start a new life?

Just when Isabel was about to be frightened and run away, a harsh scratching sound came, like the sound of a sharp blade scraping on a stone.

Isabel didn't expect Raoul to speak like this, sounding like a loyal servant of Ambrose.

Raul interrupted: "Now is not the time to apologize. Have you done what the Lich asked you to do?"

The little girl had never seen such a chaotic scene before. She was so frightened that she turned pale and fell down on the stairs.

Raul walked all the way to Isabel and said seriously: "Stand up, Isabel, don't embarrass the Lich Master."

His right hand holds a large hammer, and on his left is a strange-looking skeleton. The harsh sound just now was the noise made by the skeleton's sickle-like arms scratching on the ground.

Isabel quickly stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."

“Yes, I also have an acre of land.”

“Didn't I say that everything would be fine when we came here? If we had to do it all over again, we would lose everything!”

Raul helped Isabel up, then turned to the cowardly refugees and said, "What do you think of the arrangement of the Lich Master?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the strange skeleton with claws and teeth. They had completely calmed down and remembered again that the owner of this territory was a lich.

Deep in the castle, Amberxiu saw everything that happened in the hall through magic projection. It was he who arranged for Raul to help Isabel stabilize the situation, and now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Raoul's transformation made Amberxiu quite satisfied. Once he personally tries to kill his own kind, no matter how docile a sheep is, he will start to transform into a ferocious beast.

Waving away the probing magic, Amberxiu focused his energy on research again.

He has already roughly read the book "Research on Ghost Reproduction". He may not have fully grasped the details of the experiment, but he has completely understood the basic principles.

Master Morgan found inspiration in the process of human reproduction.

Humans reproduce, and children are born in ten months of pregnancy. Newborns are born with souls. Putting aside the physical body, from a purely soul level point of view, two independent souls gave birth to a new soul in some way.

Similarly, all races with souls have some way to achieve an increase in the number of souls.

These newly born souls have not experienced the process of physical death, so they are not undead in nature.

As long as this soul growth process of one plus one is greater than two can be reproduced through magical means, the newly born soul can be made into zombies and become a special undead army that is not restrained by light magic.

　　It is very simple to say, but if you want to get rid of the assistance of the body and rely solely on the soul to reproduce, it is more difficult than it is for a mortal to become a legend.

Master Morgan spent thousands of years, and finally he created a special ritual magic that can achieve reproduction at the soul level. Master Morgan named this ritual magic "soul embryo".

The entire "Ghost Reproduction Research" focuses on explaining the ritual magic of "soul embryo", explaining all the principles in great detail.

Creation is difficult, copying is much easier.

Amberxiu is confident that he can reproduce this ritual magic. The only problem is that the cost is too high.

To successfully complete a ritual magic, the cost will be nearly 50,000 gold coins.

This is only the cost of a new soul. Next, you need to build a suitable zombie body for this fragile soul, otherwise the newborn soul will soon "die" due to the loss of physical support.

This death does not mean that the soul dissipates, but that it cannot remain "alive" and will quickly transform into the undead. Only specially made zombies can keep the soul active, and it can be dismantled and assembled at will like the undead soldiers. convenience.

And the production of the body of a zombie costs a lot of gold coins. If you want to have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, the amount is even more astronomical.

To create a zombie that is comparable to a high-level undead, the cost is conservatively estimated to be 200,000 gold coins.

Amberxiu said to himself: "I can get two hundred thousand gold coins to buy a zombie, which only has the combat power of a high-level undead. I might as well hire a few high-level human professionals to work for me with two hundred thousand gold coins. No wonder This thing is not popular, the cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective at all. ”

But Amberxiu was not disappointed. Instead, he was so excited that the fire of his soul burst out from his eyes.

Because he discovered that he could significantly reduce the cost of producing zombies.

Fake soul, this is a special magic that Amberxiu obtained when he was promoted to legend. He can create different souls according to his own needs. The reason why those alien skeletons can operate perfectly is entirely because Amber Xiu created exclusive souls for them. Otherwise, letting human souls control eight bone claws or something like that would definitely be half the effort with half the effort.

After reading Master Morgan's work, Amberxiu estimated that the magic of creating a soul can be used to replace the ritual magic of "soul embryo", and the cost will be greatly reduced.

As for the body of the zombie, Amberxiu looked at the large glass bottle on the table, which was the bottle of cheap living mercury. The living mercury, which has a body with high magic resistance but no soul, can perfectly fit into Amber's revised virtual soul with just a few modifications.

Magic research is really an interesting thing. I am afraid that Master Morgan would not have thought that hundreds of years after his death, a lich would obtain the legendary gift of creating a soul, nor would he have thought that those lunatics in the Alchemy City would Create the perfect Zombie material of living mercury.

Now, Amberxiu is standing on the shoulders of giants and is about to embark on a glittering road to wealth.

“Master Morgan, if you have not died, I really want to communicate with you.”

Amber Xiu sighed with emotion. If this master could live until now, I am afraid that the Alchemy City could really complete the mysterious god-making plan. This is the power of knowledge.

After sighing with emotion, Amber Xiu began to prepare materials.

The first Zombie manufacturing experiment is about to officially begin!
