This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Are you so stingy?

In a corner of the sewer, a large number of slimes were forced into a corner.

Amberxiu stood in front of a newly drawn magic circle, waiting for these disgusting and squirming monsters to fall into the trap.

As soon as one comes, it will be teleported away instantly.

And Amberxiu's castle has already prepared a cage, and these slimes will be designated to be transported inside and trapped firmly inside.

　　The location marked by Naomi was correct. It was indeed a gathering point for a large number of slimes.

Amberxiu collected most of the pile of slimes, but he did not catch all the slimes and stopped after grabbing forty or fifty slimes. Then prepare to leave a secret teleportation array in this place. Whenever a slime passes by, he will be teleported.

Although this is a bit inefficient, it may be possible to continuously send experimental materials.

　　After solving the slime problem, Amberxiu returned to the Alchemy City and put the equipment received from the Druid on consignment. According to the current market situation, it is estimated that it will take half a month to sell all the equipment.

Returning to the castle in a good mood, Amber Xiu devoted himself to the experiment again.

Amberxiu didn't want to get involved in the so-called prophecy in the sewers of the Alchemy City. He intuitively believed that the group of lunatics were playing some conspiracy. Most of the people who ventured into the sewers now would become little rabbits that fell into a trap.

Once in the experimental state, Amberxiu is fully focused.

And because of the extra income from this trip, Amberxiu added several extravagant designs to his experimental plan.

In this way, the experiment will be much smoother.

Slime is just a low-level monster after all. Because it is a scavenger, its body structure is relatively simple. In addition to its mud-like body, it has simple digestive organs and nerve organs. Slimes have very low intelligence, and most of them only have the instincts of hunting and dividing to reproduce.

It's just that these slimes captured from the sewers of the Alchemy City are slightly different. Their intelligence is higher than that of their peers, and their mud-like bodies have varying degrees of metal mutation.

This is probably related to the fact that alchemy waste was dumped randomly in the Alchemy City. After devouring these wastes, the slimes developed "lesions".

Yes, this is not evolution, but contracting a serious and potentially fatal disease.

Slimes' lifespan is shortened, their temperament becomes more violent, and there are even cases of racial cannibalism.

This caused a little trouble for Amberxiu, because he needed to eliminate the influence of the disease before he could study the physiological state of slime under normal conditions.

Although it took a while, after dissecting more than three digits of slimes, Amberxiu finally advanced his experiment to the second stage - transforming living mercury.

Living Mercury is a deformed slime that has gained strong magic resistance, but has lost many important organs and even has no soul, so from the moment it is created, what follows is a slow and torturous death.

Amberxiu now needs to fill in the missing organs of the living mercury, turning it into a perfect body that can be used to house the "bionic soul" he created.

Amber Xiu carefully studied the characteristics of this mercury mutation and found that the madmen in the Alchemy City were indeed extremely smart and crazy in this kind of research. Amber Xiu was amazed by the alchemical technology used in it.

Had it not failed, it would have definitely been a new invention comparable to a legendary spell.

Innovation is difficult, but reproduction is much easier. Amberxiu quickly found a way to mercury slime through reverse cracking.

Although it is not a 100% restoration of the original version, it has finally completed the missing organs.

The entire experiment does not take long, but the cost is really high. The total cost was more than 120,000 gold coins, including several bottles of living mercury potion. Although they were all fakes, it still made Amberxiu extremely heartbroken.

Had it not been for the high price of the potion refined from the hag's scalp, Amberxiu wouldn't even have enough money to complete this experiment.

This is why Legend is also poor. If he just lays down and lives, Legend can definitely live a prosperous life, but for a scholar like Amber Xiu who focuses on research, the cost of each experiment is sky-high, and no matter how much he earns, it is not enough. Flower.

In the laboratory, Amber Xiu solemnly placed a memory crystal and started recording.

“New Zombie Manufacturing Technology Optimization Experiment, Session 46.

"After many previous experiments, I have created a relatively complete zombie body. The modified living mercury not only supplemented the missing organs and can remain alive for a long time, but also gained a new talent - transformation technique.

“This is the inspiration I got from the shapeshifter. I imitated its talent and gave the living mercury the ability to change its appearance. After all, what we need to create is a zombie warrior, and the simple slime form really lacks sufficient combat effectiveness.

“Now let me fuse the bionic soul with the living mercury body and see if I can successfully complete the creation of zombies...”

As Amberxiu explained, he took out the bionic soul that he had prepared earlier and placed it on the body of the living mercury.

With the chanting of the incantation, the bionic soul quickly integrated into the living mercury, and the originally quiet mercury body began to show a little ripples, and then continued to tremble. It took about a minute or two, but two black dots finally appeared on the smooth mercury surface, which looked like a pair of eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the living mercury began to squirm inside the glass jar, as if a newborn baby was eager to leave the cage and explore the world.

Amberxiu quickly released the little guy. The living mercury squirmed happily on the table, and then swallowed up all the metal it encountered.

After eating up all the metal on the table, the living mercury jumped happily into Amberxiu's arms, and its heavy body almost broke Amberxiu's ribs.

Amberxiu touched this little guy's head and could feel the connection between souls.

As his own creation, Amberxiu will naturally add some insurance to his soul. This little guy will be particularly close to Amberxiu and remain loyal to the maximum extent.

Just as she was about to continue testing the ability of living mercury, Isabel suddenly knocked on the door of the laboratory hurriedly. Isabel's anxious voice came: "Master Lich, something bad has happened. An army has appeared outside the castle. There are many of them."

Amber Xiu was just a little irritated after hearing this, but he was not too surprised.

After so many days, it's time for some movement.

Amberxiu knew that after he had collected so many free people, the nearby lords would definitely be quite dissatisfied, and it was beyond his expectation that they could endure it for so long.

“It's time to resolve this matter completely.”

Amberxiu left the laboratory and as soon as he walked out of the castle gate, he saw a scene that surprised him.

The paladin of the Lane Empire who had been cheated by him for thousands of gold coins before was actually standing in this army.

Isn't it true? This paladin is so stingy that he directly leads his troops to attack?
