Chapter 13 A tough guy becomes a married man
Amber Xiu repeatedly emphasized that this thing was not worth the price, and he wanted him to rush it to his door and build a special teleportation array that could teleport living things, which would cost more.
Although a small bottle can dissolve tens of millions of gold coins and store them in a special form in the small bottle, it is really not cost-effective.
But Headless Brother still insisted and added money generously.
This left Amberxiu with no excuse to refuse, so he had to go to the Alchemy City again. There, he bought a bottle of genuine living mercury solution under the shocked expression of the saleslady.
Amber has tested the product and it is the real thing.
Then Amber returned to the castle to build a teleportation magic circle. It took him half a day to send this thing to Headless Brother. In the end, he earned 20,000 gold coins with tears in his eyes.
It's not that he is unscrupulous. The price of your product has increased, so it's reasonable for him to increase his agency fee in proportion, right? You can't make 3,000 yuan from a business of 10,000 gold coins, and still make 3,000 yuan from a business of 100,000 gold coins.
Also, the price of the teleportation magic circle is not cheap - the materials are not expensive, but the technology is expensive! It is really fair for a legendary spellcaster to make only 20,000 gold coins for the teleportation magic circle plus the agency fee. Amber Xiu can pat his chest and say that there is no other lich in the whole continent who charges as fair as him.
Looking at the golden coins rustling in front of him, Amber felt that his soul was satisfied to the greatest extent. Satisfying his obsession was the only way for the lich to make himself happy.
Of course, it would be even more satisfying to curse those bean sprouts in Silvermoon High Court while counting the gold coins.
One day, Amber will make these bean sprout elves understand that driving up the price of magic potions will bring retribution!
The business of Headless Brother has come to an end, and next we should focus on the orders of Withered Rose.
It is not so easy to create a high-level undead that can break through the walls of the Lion Imperial Capital. Even if it is just a rough design, it takes a long time to study. And because there are two bottles of fake living mercury solution, Amber Xiu does not want to waste it. Maybe he can use the living mercury to make some new designs.
With financial support, Amber could be bolder in his experiments.
————————————
In the far west, in a dark tomb across the ocean, the light of the teleportation array slowly went out.
The burly knight stretched out two fingers and picked up the glass jar containing living mercury.
The headless body was terrifyingly tall. If Amber stood in front of the headless knight, he would probably be only as tall as his knees.
He was wearing heavy black armor with layers of magical patterns emitting a mysterious glow, and a soaring bone dragon was embroidered on the cloak behind him with exquisite craftsmanship.
He is the son-in-law of the Bone Dragon family, the legendary headless knight - Gareth Alcanos.
The surname was added after he married into the family. Gareth was just an ordinary human knight who died on the battlefield. He was killed by his companions and should have become a war hero, but his head was chopped off by the enemy.
More than a hundred years after Gareth's death, more than two hundred heads were hung at the place where he was executed.
The companion who plotted against him became a war hero and a noble, and his family flourished for more than a hundred years. But more than a hundred years later, Gareth sent all the members of this family to the guillotine.
This killing made Gareth the most wanted criminal in the Ryan Empire. The most powerful human empire sent out an entire legion of holy warriors to hunt down Gareth.
Gareth fought his way from the Lion Empire to the Golden Kingdom of Salokma, and traveled 3,000 miles in five years. He escaped from thousands of holy warriors and chopped off hundreds of their heads. Gareth was promoted to the legendary rank in a desperate situation, causing the Lion Empire to suffer the greatest loss since its founding.
At that time, Emperor Ryan almost called out his ancestors' dragon weapons and wanted to use the power beyond the legend to kill Gareth.
But later, this legendary headless knight suddenly disappeared, and even the Ryan Empire could not find his trace. Such a legendary man suddenly became a son-in-law.
Fortunately, not many people knew about this. Even the members of the Mourning Poets Society didn’t know that the Headless Brother in the chat group was the tough guy who forced Emperor Ryan to lead the army in person with his magical weapon. Otherwise, the Ryan Empire would be so angry that it would die.
Gareth, who once chopped down thousands of paladins with a two-handed giant sword, now acted like a timid little monk, holding the bottle of living mercury and running to the wall on tiptoe.
He tapped on several places on the wall with his fingers, and several magic lines suddenly lit up on the wall. At this time, Gareth's chest shook, and a few rhythmic muffled sounds came out. The stone wall slowly cracked, revealing a space portal.
A few simple actions, including password unlocking, magic unlocking, voiceprint unlocking, triple protection. If there is any mistake in the triple unlocking, what appears after the wall is opened is not a portal, but a room full of love letters.
If his wife finds out, the love letters all over the house will serve as a romantic twist to help him escape.
Gareth has transformed from a tough man who chopped off heads without mercy into a cunning married man. I wonder what Emperor Ryan would think if he knew about this.
Gareth walked into the portal with a focused expression at this moment, and the next second he appeared in another room full of love letters.
That’s right, for the love letter trick, he prepared two rooms.
Even if his wife found the portal, she would still have to open another secret door to find the location of his real safe.
After turning several turns, I entered the real vault, and a mountain of gold coins appeared before my eyes.
Amber had bargained with the young lady from the Alchemy City for a long time for the 10,000 or 20,000 yuan discount on his cultivation level, but to Gareth, it was just a small amount of money that was not worth mentioning.
Gareth opened the glass bottle and placed it in front of the mountain of gold.
Then, Gareth stretched out his hand towards the mountain of gold.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A huge amount of dark magic power surged out, dyeing the hundred-ton gold mountain black. Gareth's chest made a muffled sound, and the hundred-ton gold mountain was lifted up by him with one hand.
The gold coins scattered and turned into a tornado.
The gold coins fell with a clatter and landed accurately in the small jar.
The golden coins fell into it and disappeared in an instant. The gold coins gathered like a stream and poured into the small glass jar, disappearing like magic.
Such a huge mountain of gold completely disappeared in a short time, and only the jar of living mercury solution remained in the empty secret room. The gold would be stored in a special energy state, and even magic that specializes in detecting treasures could not detect the gold swallowed by the living mercury.
Gareth carefully capped the small glass bottle and said with emotion: "You really get what you pay for. Brother Tiga is a real man. I'll do business with him again next time."
Just as he was about to go back contentedly, as soon as he turned around, a translucent ghost appeared in front of Gareth.
This is a strange ghost with a graceful figure, beautiful face and a pair of horns on his head, commonly known as the Dragon Soul.
The beautiful dragon soul crossed her arms and sneered at Gareth, "Who do you want to do business with?"
With a snap, the glass jar in Gareth's hand fell to the ground, and the living mercury immediately poured all over the ground.
"Honey...honey...what are you doing..." Gareth was incoherent. He never expected that even after all the defenses he had put in, he was still caught by his wife.
The beautiful dragon soul took out a book of the Code of the Dead, opened the last page, and quickly wrote a sentence.
[Pale Little Skeleton: Sister Qiangwei, thank you for your reminder. I will invite you to the Dragon Tomb for tea next time.]
[Dead Rose: You’re welcome. I’ll consider the two bone dragons you gave me last time as a return gift.]
[Pale Little Skeleton: The Headless Horseman's crown probably won't be restored in the next few years, so don't worry. ]
[Ultraman Tiga: ???]
