Chapter 12: The Son-in-Law of the Bone Dragon Family
Amber Xiu looked at the trembling Isabel and wanted to praise her, but he thought that he would scare her to death if he opened his mouth.
She didn't have this attitude before.
Haha, this is a human being who only cares about appearance.
With a wave of his hand, Isabel escaped from the laboratory as if free, and then Amber placed two bottles of living mercury solution on the laboratory table very solemnly.
Soundproof barrier, anti-detection barrier, prophecy counter-attack... After a series of magic spells were cast, the laboratory was completely sealed off by Amberxiu, and even the air could not flow.
Only liches can bear it. Anyone living here would suffocate to death.
Feeling that everything was ready, Amber opened one of the bottles of living mercury solution.
The bottle that costs five hundred gold coins.
The bottle is as big as a human head and is filled to the brim, but it’s a pity that it’s mixed with real mercury.
Mercury is not worth anything, but compared with the living mercury inside, it is really a bargain.
After taking out various tools and separating the mercury, Amberxiu obtained living mercury that was not much bigger than a fist, and it was living mercury that had completely lost its activity.
"How shameless! This bottle of 500 gold coins doesn't contain any real stuff at all."
But what Amberxiu wants now is the corpse.
Ambersau stretched out his fingers, and magic power gathered between his fingers, then turned into a faint light and fell on the lifeless ball of mercury solution.
Necromancer: Manipulation of corpses.
Standard casting movements, perfect magic structure. As a legendary lich, even the corpse of a dragon would have to blink under the effect of Amber's spell.
However, the mercury solution showed no reaction.
The spell that controlled the corpses fell on this thing, exploding it directly into a ball of light, and the magic power dissipated without leaving any trace.
"Shit! Magic resistance?! Is that so outrageous?!"
Amberxiu thought of many possible failures. He could accept even the possibility that the mercury solution could not be identified as a corpse. However, what he never expected was the magic resistance.
"Are you crazy? What on earth are those lunatics in Alchemy City planning to create?!"
Creating new life is already an outrageous proposition, but the Alchemy City has been working tirelessly for this for hundreds of years, so Amberxiu can accept it.
But to create a mercury slime with strong magic resistance, have their brains been kissed by the Goblin God?
Magic resistance is a very rare trait, except for certain naturally noble races, such as the high elves whom Ambershu hates the most. They are born with very strong magic resistance, and ordinary magic has little effect on them, especially charm magic, to which they are directly immune.
The same is true for dragons. It is difficult to break the defense of dragon scales with magic that is not of legendary level. The most popular dragon-slaying magic is to set a fire explosion for yourself, and then blow up the dragon's internal organs when the dragon swallows you. But later, this trick was used so many times that even the inheritance memory of the dragon clan added this sentence: "Humans, cannot be eaten raw!" The dragons eat people only after they are roasted by dragon flames.
Back to the topic, magic resistance is a very rare trait. Slime itself does not have magic resistance. It must be that the madman in the Alchemy City gave it to them in some unknown way.
"They definitely didn't intend to create low-level creatures like slimes in the first place. After failing, they resorted to false propaganda to cover up their real plan. They are sick. Are they trying to blaspheme the gods again? Do they think seven shitty towers are not enough and want more?"
Amber Xiu felt that he was accidentally involved in the bloody relationship between the Alchemy City and the God of Alchemy. You said that as a god, you could just strike them to death directly, but instead of killing them, you humiliated them for hundreds of years, fearing that you would not create an enemy who would kill the gods.
It turns out that the thoughts of gods cannot be guessed by ordinary people.
Although he cursed, Amber would not give up. He had spent several thousand gold coins, so he couldn't just waste them.
Several more magic spells were cast, and without exception, they were offset by the magic resistance of the mercury solution. However, Amberxiu also tested that the magic resistance of this thing was not as terrible as that of the dragon. With the effect of the legendary halo, the corpse of the mercury slime could still be successfully controlled.
After all, it is a legend. Even if Amber has improved a little, the strengthening effect on magic is still there. By using the power of legend, she can break through the magic resistance of mercury slime.
But the magic to control the corpse was not easy to use. This thing was just a pool of mercury, and no one knew what the Alchemy Association had done to it. It did not have the organs of an ordinary slime. It was a completely unfamiliar thing to Amberxiu, and he even had difficulty controlling the mercury slime to move.
And after checking, Amber came to a conclusion.
This mercury slime was a complete failure. They created a deformed, soulless shell. It was more like a corpse that had its soul extracted but not completely dead than a living creature.
No, that's not enough.
This is a machine that is missing many parts, and even the operating system was not written when it left the factory. When it was taken apart, only the screw holes for the motherboard were left inside, but there was no trace of the motherboard.
Therefore, these mercury slimes produced had no reaction and only devoured the metal based on biological instinct. Moreover, due to the lack of organs in their bodies, they could not live long even if they were fed regularly, and would only continue to die slowly.
It's a pity that this thing has no soul, otherwise, it would be a mass-produced "tortured soul", and the lich simply loves this kind of thing. In the world of the dead, this tortured soul is hard currency, better than gold coins.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Unfortunately, my simulated soul is also a fake soul. It does not have the soul characteristic of generating resentment after being tortured. Otherwise, it would be a way to make money."
Amber Xiu is still thinking about how to make money with this thing. If it doesn't work, he has to restore the metal swallowing effect of living mercury, otherwise how can he explain to the headless knight? The deposit has already been received and there is no possibility of refunding the money.
After studying for a long time, Amber Xiu came to a conclusion. He knew too little about creatures like slimes, and he had several ideas for transformation in his mind, but he couldn't deduce any further.
He doesn't have much material on hand and can't waste it.
"We still need to check the information."
Amber opened the Code of the Undead, opened their lich chat group, and typed this sentence.
[Ultraman Tiga: Dear seniors, does anyone know more about creatures like slimes? I have some questions to ask you.]
[Crown of the Headless Horseman: You kid, are you trying to cheat me? ]
Amber: ...
How could he tell something was wrong with just one sentence? A Dullahan, a headless undead, you are so smart, you are not doing justice to your race! Having underestimated the Dullahan's sensitivity to private money, Amber could only answer honestly.
[Ultraman Tiga: It's not fraud, it's just a way to complete the order. The finances of the Alchemy City are in big trouble, and prices are rising across the board.]
Amber Xiu told what he had seen and heard, but concealed the fact that he sold fake products for testing. He only said that he couldn't order the goods for the time being, so he planned to figure out how to make the mercury slime himself.
Unexpectedly, after reading Amber's story, the Dullahan brother replied arrogantly: [Isn't it just adding money? I'll add it! The most important thing is to be fast! ]
Amber Xiu was shocked by this heroic statement.
Brother Wutou, how much private money do you, the son-in-law, have hidden? ! An Boxiu began to consider whether he should find a bone dragon to live on.
