This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 546

Chapter 546 Hell Bank Opens

 Hello's external statement has always been that "Bair has never betrayed Zariel's subordinates from the beginning to now."

Amberxiu didn't know much about Bayer. He only asked the God of Alchemy and the Goddess of Wealth for some secrets about **** after going to hell, so he knew that these two people had some unpleasant pasts.

As for the specific details, Amberxiu is not sure. Maybe only the two **** lords can tell clearly.

Logically speaking, Amber Xiu just wants to keep a low profile now and doesn't really want Melina to provoke those old lords of **** from the beginning.

 Let alone a particularly sensitive character like Bayer.

A **** lord who once rebelled against Zariel and succeeded in ascending to power, but was defeated by Zariel and became his younger brother again, also has the title of Chief General of Blood River.

This kind of big man cannot be underestimated in terms of wisdom or personal strength. For Melina, this kind of opponent is still too high.

 But the other party came to the door in person, and Amberxiu could only deal with it hard.

Read the invitation letter carefully. This **** lord, nicknamed the Pronghorn Butcher, is Melina's neighbor. The distance between the two territories is less than 20 kilometers, separated by wilderness and a small lava lake, Cambion. It only took half an hour to spread our wings and fly.

　　Melina's annexation of territory and the construction of large-scale construction projects attracted the attention of this neighbor.

Following the devil's habit, the Pronghorn Butcher hopes to meet with Melina to confirm whether this new neighbor is a good person, or whether he should be prepared for war as soon as possible.

　　It doesn't sound like a problem. Compared with other **** lords, this kind of straightforward meeting and negotiation can be regarded as "above and aboveboard".

 But the time and place were determined by the Butcher of Jijiao.

 He invited Melina to go to a **** tavern called "The Pig and the Sloth", and the time was set in three days.

Amberson didn't know much about hell, but judging from the content on the invitation letter, it should be a very famous place. Because the other party only left a name, no specific coordinates, and no more description.

 Obviously, the reputation of this "Pig and Sloth" tavern is so great that no one knows it, so it doesn't need to be described too much.

It's okay to fight with the devil, but be careful when the other party asks you to have a fight. When you get to the agreed place, a hundred thousand troops may rush out to surround you.

With the devil's moral integrity, they can do anything.

However, this pronghorn butcher is suspected to have a deep relationship with Bayer, and Amberxiu cannot ignore the other party's invitation, otherwise war will begin sooner or later.

 After thinking for a moment, Amberxiu replied to the Pronghorn Butcher in the name of Melina.

 The content is very brief, the meeting place remains unchanged, but the time is postponed for one month, and the reason is also very simple: "I am preparing to meet with Grand Duke Zariel, but I have no time to get away to meet him at the moment."

Melina has now gained the authority of the Hell Lord. If Zariel is interested, he can find out by just looking up.

So it can't be concealed for long. Anyway, the authority has been obtained, and Amberxiu has also negotiated the follow-up cooperation with Zariel. This is a good opportunity for Melina to officially appear.

Even his daughter was sent to **** to work for Zariel. I think this devil's guild was very satisfied with his "certificate of submission."

Amberxiu replied like this, and then ordered someone to find out where the "Pig and Sloth" tavern was and what its origins were. At the same time, we also need to inquire about Bayer's situation. The Crooked Horn Butcher may have come to communicate with Melina under the instruction of Archduke Bayer. Amberxiu must be prepared.

Hundreds of years of experience have taught Amberxiu that the outcome of negotiations is often decided before a formal meeting, and the actual meeting is just a formality according to the process.

 After handling this matter, Amberxiu became more concerned about Melina's territory construction.

 Because the lordship rights exchanged by Melina are helpful for the construction of the territory, in a short period of time, the new fortress has built internal and external walls.

 Amberxiu referred to the characteristics of the Underdark, transformed the territory into two areas above and below ground, and then divided the functions according to the ordinary devil's fortress.

From the surface, Melina's territory is slightly larger and seems a bit empty, but the real key part is underground. Only races that live underground all year round can adapt to the nine-and-thirteen-turn terrain.

 With the rise of this new territory, those harvested soul fragments attracted many demons to join forces. Although most of them are weak individuals such as lemures and little timid demons, Amber Xiu welcomes everyone who comes, which is completely inconsistent with the habits of other **** lords.

 This is a world where the weak can eat the strong, especially those who guard the territories on the edge of the Blood River and are also responsible for hunting lone demons.

Most of these weak devils are transformed from the souls of sinners, and any farmer can kill them with a dung fork. Such weak devils should be turned into food for other devils. They are not even cannon fodder on the Blood River battlefield, and are only used as rations for the devils.

Melina has such a fertile territory and also accepts a group of little devils with no fighting ability. What on earth does she want to do?

Cambien has warned Melina more than once that the territory has just started to operate and cannot collect so much waste that is a waste of food. Even if the output of soul fragments is high, it cannot sustain such a waste of these wastes.

 But Melina ignored Kambien's suggestion and just said coldly: "This is my father's arrangement."

This sentence carries enough weight, because Cambien already knows who the father of this lord is.

 In the whole hell, if there is any devil who has not heard that name, he really deserves to die.

The famous fraudster, the ruthless man who had to admit his fault even when the Archduke of Hell was cheated, I heard that he is now the guest of Archduke Zariel again.

Such a big man must have some deep meaning, and it is not something that a small Cambion can question. But Cambian is not stupid either. He doesn't understand Amberxiu's order, but that doesn't mean he will ignore it. He began to carefully observe the little cowards and lemures in the territory, trying to figure out what the deceiver wanted to do with these wastes.

Then Kambien discovered a pattern. Every once in a while, there would always be a few little cowards or lemures received by Melina, and they would look completely transformed after they came out.

 Obviously, these lucky people have received a lot of soul coins. If the devil wants to become stronger, it cannot do without the soul, especially these sinners who have just been transformed. It is when they are at their weakest that they can quickly upgrade with just a little resource.

Chambien originally thought that the fraudster was selecting talented devils and then cultivating them to become the real power of the territory. But in fact this is not the case. These little devils will leave the territory after gaining a certain strength.

Every devil who leaves here will bring one or several magic mirrors that can enable instant communication, and a high-spirited look on his face, as if he is leaving this place to accomplish some great cause. Seeing this, Kambien couldn't inquire any more.

 Be careful as a subordinate. Information that can be known at a casual glance can be obtained, but deeper things are not worth the risk of digging deeper. Knowing it may not be of any benefit to you, but it may offend the fraudster.

 Just when he dreams in the middle of the night, Kambien will always think about this question, what on earth is that adult doing?

Cambien acted as his steward in the territory with doubts, until Melina took him to Zariel's mansion.

Cambien was stunned for a few minutes when he heard this order. He didn't expect that he would still be qualified to step into the residence of Archduke Zariel in this life.

That is the most noble place in Avernus! Not long ago, I was just a Cambion wandering in the wilderness. How long has it been since I was able to set foot in a place like this?

At this moment, Kambien became more determined to follow Melina.

This lord does not look very smart, but her father is too powerful. No, it should be said that he has exceeded the limit of the word "powerful".

Melina took only two of her subordinates, Cambien and Monica, to Zariel's mansion, and the process was uneventful. It was Zariel who greeted Melina with a smile on his face, and then enthusiastically expressed his intention to promote Melina to become the captain of his personal guard.

Melina agreed to be a member of the personal guard, but she still stayed in her own territory to continue her business. She would only come to serve the Archduke of Hell when called by Zariel.

This bargaining made Cambien and Monica sweat all over their bodies, especially when Melina said her refusal. Cambien and Monica thought they were going to die here, but they ended up getting stabbed. Grand Duke Riel was surprisingly easy to talk to and gave Melina a chance to choose.

 In the end, Melina took on the name of a personal guard, but she was still free to move around. Not only Melina, but also Cambian and Monica were rewarded by Zariel.

 The rewards that should have been given to those who had outstanding military exploits on the Blood River battlefield were now listed in front of these two little characters, allowing them to choose.

Cambien did not hesitate and decisively chose a drop of Anzu Demon's blood. Although Cambion is not weak, the devil's blood in Cambion is too mixed, and he is a garbage body that has no future at first glance. For a devil with no talent like him, even if you give him a lot of soul coins, he will become stronger more slowly than others.

  Anzu Demon's blood can help Kambien purify his body's blood, making it much easier to become stronger in the future. In hell, fists are more useful than tongues.

Monica's own bloodline is very advanced, and she has the bloodline of the Desire Demon and the Elf. Both of them contain powerful magic power, but it's just difficult to use it at ordinary times. So Monica chose a very good staff, which can greatly enhance her spellcasting ability.

Even the subordinates brought by Melina were rewarded. In the eyes of others, Melina was Zariel's most favored rookie.

 But from Ambrose's point of view, Zarrell still didn't believe him.

There is no need to check at all. The blood of the Anzu Demon in Cambian must have been tampered with by Zariel, and the same goes for Monica's staff. But Ambrose had to accept it. This is the art of mutual compromise.

Zarrell couldn't get involved in the bank's business, so he used this other way to keep an eye on Melina.

Amberxiu didn't have any objections to this. After all, Zariel was the Duke of Hell, so he couldn't really give him no face at all.

With this meeting, Melina's status in **** is completely stable, and there are no longer any hidden dangers.

 So, after Melina returned to her territory, Amberxiu also frankly told Zariel about the meeting between the Pronghorn Butcher and Melina.

“The Pronghorn Butcher?” Zariel frowned and asked, “What is this?”

The status gap is too big. Zarrell has probably never heard of this little devil who has dozens of layers of relationship with Bayer.

"It may have something to do with Archduke Bayer. I don't know this person, so I politely asked for your opinion." Amberxiu carefully organized his words and said to Zarrell: "I don't know this. What is the situation with Grand Duke Baier, and what attitude should I take towards him?"

When Zarrell heard the name Bayer, he immediately showed an angry expression, but he quickly calmed down and said to Amber Xiu: "Don't worry, Bayer has only one mission now, which is to keep an eye on the blood for me. River Fortress. Fighting with the devil forever is his mission and his only mission."

"Is it that simple? Then Melina's meeting with the Crooked Butcher..."

Zarrell waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't bother me with such boring little things. The bank will officially open soon, and Mammon has already found its first batch of customers. Strictly speaking, your soul belongs to me. We You can't be outdone by Mammon here. You should pay more attention to business matters and don't let Mammon take over everything.”

Hello Bank is almost ready, and the funds provided by Ambrose have been successfully received, so it's time to open.

In order to gain momentum, Mammon attracted business worth hundreds of millions at once, and served customers including the devils from several other levels of hell.

 In the plan, Amber is just a money printing machine that provides necessary guidance and does not participate in the specific work. Zariel is qualified to participate, but he does not have the ability or talent in this area, and now he looks like he only gets dividends. According to the development policy designed by Amber Xiu, the bank's profitability in the early stage is very poor, and it must make a huge profit at the time of harvest.

Zarrell felt that he was at a disadvantage and could only continue to ask Amberxiu to help with ideas.

Amberxiu chuckled and said, "I've been prepared for this for a long time."

Amberxiu's figure on the magic mirror slowly faded away, replaced by a series of data. The complex and changeable numbers dazzled Zarrell, but he could still identify what was displayed on it.

 “This is... scattered savings? Does it add up to so much?”

Amberxiu replied: "Yes, Mammon's resources for high-end customers are unparalleled in Hell, but Hell is so huge, and it's not just the Hell lords who have money.

"Thirty or fifty soul fragments can be compressed into a soul coin of poor quality. However, this process is complicated and ordinary devils do not have this ability. Only those **** lords can collect and compress coins on a small scale. And the soul fragments are... It's worthless and is only used as food. But what if these soul fragments can also be regarded as wealth?”

Amberxiu appeared on the magic mirror again. He waved his hand and said excitedly: "If each of the billions of devils in the nine hells saves one penny, how big will their wealth be?"
