Chapter 32 Are you so stingy?
In a corner of the sewer, a large number of slimes were forced into a corner.
Amber stood in front of a magic circle that he had just drawn, waiting for these disgusting and wriggling monsters to fall into his trap.
When one comes, it is teleported away instantly.
Cages have already been prepared in Ambershu's castle, and these slimes will be teleported inside and trapped firmly.
The location Naomi marked was not wrong; it was indeed the gathering point for a large number of slimes.
Amberxiu collected most of the slimes, but he did not exhaust all the resources. He only caught 40 or 50 slimes and then stopped. He then prepared to leave a secret teleportation array in this place, so that any slime passing by would be teleported.
Although this approach is a bit inefficient, it may be possible to deliver experimental materials continuously.
After solving the slime problem, Amber returned to the Alchemy City and put the equipment he received from the druid on consignment. According to the current market conditions, it would take an estimated half a month to sell all of them.
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 of the sewers in the Alchemy City. He intuitively thought that those lunatics were plotting something, and anyone who went to the sewers to take risks now would most likely become a little rabbit that ran into a trap.
Once he enters the experimental state, Amberxiu is fully focused.
And because of the extra income from the trip, Amber added several luxurious designs to his experimental plan.
This way, the experiment went much more smoothly.
After all, slimes are just low-level monsters. Because they are scavengers, their body structure is relatively simple. In addition to their muddy bodies, they have simple digestive organs and nerve organs. Slimes have very low intelligence, and most of them only have the instincts of predation and division and reproduction.
However, these slimes captured from the sewers of the Alchemy City are slightly different. Their intelligence is slightly higher than their counterparts, and their muddy bodies have different degrees of metallic mutations.
This is probably related to the indiscriminate dumping of alchemical waste in the Alchemy City. After swallowing these wastes, the slimes became "pathologically ill".
Yes, this is not evolution, but a serious and potentially fatal disease.
The slimes' lifespans have shortened, their temperaments have become more violent, and there have even been 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 the slime under normal conditions.
Although it took some time, after dissecting more than three-digit slimes, Amberxiu finally advanced his experiment to the second stage - transforming living mercury.
Living Mercury is a deformed slime that has gained powerful 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.
What Amberxiu needs to do now is to replenish the missing organs of the living Mercury so that it can become a perfect body that can be used to house the "bionic soul" he created.
Amberxiu carefully studied the characteristics of this mercury mutation and found that the group of lunatics in the Alchemy City were indeed extremely smart and crazy in this kind of research. The alchemical technology used in it amazed Amberxiu.
If it hadn't failed, it would definitely be considered a new invention comparable to legendary spells.
Innovation is difficult, but reproduction is much easier. Amberxiu quickly found a way to mercury-turned slime through reverse hacking.
Although it is not a 100% restoration of the original, the missing organs have finally been completed.
The whole experiment did not take long, but the cost was really high.
All in all, the cost exceeded 120,000 gold coins, and he spent several bottles of living mercury potion alone. Although they were all fakes, Amberxiu was still heartbroken.
If the potion made from the witch's scalp had not been sold at a high price, Amber would not even have enough money to complete the experiment.
This is why Legend is also poor. If he just lay down and lived, Legend could definitely live a rich life. But for a scholar like Amber Xiu who is focused on research, the cost of each experiment is sky-high, and no matter how much he earns, it is not enough to spend.
In the laboratory, Amber Xiu solemnly placed a memory crystal and began recording.
"New Zombie Manufacturing Technology Optimization Experiment, Round 46.
"After many experiments, I have created a relatively complete zombie body. The modified living mercury not only supplemented the missing organs and could stay alive for a long time, but also gained a new talent - Transfiguration.
“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, we need to create a zombie warrior, and the simple slime form really lacks sufficient combat power.
"Now let me fuse the bionic soul with the living mercury body and see if I can successfully complete the creation of the zombie..."
As Amberxiu explained, he took out the bionic soul that he had prepared earlier and placed it on the body of the living mercury.
As the spell was chanted, the bionic soul quickly merged into the living mercury. The originally quiet mercury body began to ripple a little, and then it continued to shake. It took about a minute or two, and finally two black dots appeared on the smooth surface of the mercury, which looked like a pair of eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then, the living mercury began to wriggle inside the glass jar, as if it was a newborn baby eager to leave the cage and explore the world.
Amberxiu quickly released the little guy. The living mercury began to wriggle happily on the table, and then swallowed all the metal it encountered.
After eating up all the metal on the table, the living mercury jumped happily into Ambersu's arms, and its heavy body almost broke Ambersu's ribs.
Amber touched the little guy's head and could feel the connection between their souls.
As his own creation, Ambersu would naturally add some insurance to the soul. This little guy would be particularly close to Ambersu and maintain the utmost loyalty.
Just as they were about to continue testing the ability of living mercury, Isabel suddenly knocked on the door of the laboratory. Isabel's anxious voice came: "Master Lich, something bad has happened. An army has appeared outside the castle. They are very large."
Amber Xiu was just a little annoyed after hearing this, but not too surprised.
So many days have passed, it's time for some movement.
Amberxiu knew that he had accepted so many free people, and the nearby lords would definitely be very dissatisfied. It was beyond his expectation that they could tolerate it for so long.
"It's time to resolve this matter once and for all."
Amberxiu left the laboratory and just walked out of the castle gate, he saw an unexpected scene.
The holy warrior of the Ryan Empire, who had been cheated out of thousands of gold coins by him, was actually standing in this army.
No way, this holy knight is so stingy that he would directly lead his troops to attack?
