Chapter 145 You will go down in history
Experiments are fun, and so are liches.
After his self-destruction, Amber Xiu has been trying to rebuild his body.
Even with the help of the Withered Rose, this body of bones is still a little worse than before.
But I have been busy since then, and now I finally have some time, so I have to prepare well.
Ordinary undead creation must use corpses as the basic material, because dark magic runs more smoothly on corpses, the loss on other materials is very large, and the storage efficiency is extremely low.
Take the most basic skeleton as an example. The same dark magic can charge the skeleton for three minutes and make it move for ten years. If it is replaced with a metal body, it will take two hundred years to move in three seconds.
Therefore, the undead can only use magical effects to strengthen their bodies instead of directly replacing their bones with steel.
The material gap cannot be made up, otherwise the Death Knight would not need to wear armor and the longsword he used would be made of bones.
But the long-standing problem was solved by Amber.
The attribute granting of this legendary boon is really powerful, and it can add additional attributes to any substance.
In theory, it is even possible to give items extraordinary properties such as indestructibility or divine power.
Just charge the money.
Amber Xiu secretly tried to make a piece of bone the size of a fingernail indestructible.
The method of using this legendary favor is very insidious. You select the target, choose the attributes, and then start to recharge. It does not show how much money is charged, and you will not be prompted to use the ability until it is fully charged.
Bones as big as fingernails became indestructible. After charging hundreds of thousands of gold coins, there was still no end in sight, so Amberxiu decisively cut his losses.
Either the middleman, the God of Alchemy, made too much dirty money, or the properties were too extraordinary and the price was too expensive.
You can give up casting the spell, but the money will not be refunded.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were wasted, which made Amber Xiu grit his teeth and he had to give up the idea of achieving success overnight.
I guess the gods are not so easy to fool. It is impossible to transform your body into the appearance of a god by spending money.
However, becoming a god is not possible, but strengthening the body should be no problem.
Holding the legendary gold coin in his hand, Amberxiu began to use the gold to cast a spell, adding the attributes of a corpse to all the metal parts in front of him, and then began to assemble them according to the blueprint.
This is the most basic puppet blueprint, and even a half-baked technician like Amber can easily assemble it.
The mechanical puppet is about two meters tall and is made entirely of metal. Amber retained the original magic power furnace. If the souls of the undead could be placed in it, it would have double power. I hope it would give myself a little surprise.
Open the private space and invite the two brothers Dahei and Erha to come out.
Erha held Dahei's soul jar in his hand, came to Amber Xiu, and said excitedly: "My Lord, you finally remembered us."
In Amber's eyes, the two brothers had only been dead for a few months, but in the accelerated time state of the private space, they had been dead for dozens or even hundreds of years.
Erha was fine, as he had obtained a skeleton body and could move freely. But Dahei was kept in a jar, like he was in prison. If Erha hadn't been chatting with him, Dahei's soul would have been sold directly in hell. Tortured souls are hard currency.
Amber Xiu felt a little embarrassed because he was so busy that he forgot everything.
Amber Xiu patted Erha's shoulder and said, "It's okay. I will let you out for a walk more often in the future."
Erha: ...
Aren't they the subordinates of this lich master? Why do they sound like prisoners?
"Well, today is the day for you brothers to reunite. Come and show me how well this new type of undead body works."
Amber took Dahei's soul out of the jar and put it into the mechanical puppet.
Dahei is considered a century-old ghost, and his soul strength is quite good. Moreover, he has waited for this day for too long, so the integration process was very smooth and there was no rejection.
The energy furnace on the puppet's body began to rumble, the magic energy conduit began to glow, and the gears in the body's joints also turned... Everything went smoothly. Dahei sat up from the experimental table in disbelief and performed various actions under Amber's orders.
"It looks very smooth. How do you feel about it?" Amber Xiu asked Dahei.
Dahei, who had turned into a puppet, made a humming sound and was unable to speak for a moment. He also waved his fingers and pointed at his ears, as if to say that he could not hear anything.
"Don't be affected by your body. Although the puppet doesn't have a voice or a radio system, the undead don't need these. Think back to how you communicated with people when you were in the jar before!"
Amber Xiu sent these words directly into Dahei's soul with his thoughts. Dahei twisted his head nervously, and after a long time he made a strange sound.
"Phew, I'm suffocating. Sir, I don't feel well. Although there is no problem with my body movements, I feel very strange. Every time I want to move, it feels like someone is pulling my body. It feels like helping me to exert force, but in fact it affects my movements and it is difficult to control."
Dahei complained that this mechanical body looked inferior to his brother's skeleton body. It felt bulky and yet too flexible. He felt a little dizzy after doing a few movements. This was caused by the mismatch between consciousness and body movements.
"Because the puppet has its own power system, and the dark magic controlled by the soul acts on the body at the same time, so you are exerting double strength. It only takes a few days to get used to this feeling. Apart from this, do you have any other adverse feelings?"
The function of the Mana Power Reactor is to reduce the consumption of dark magic. After all, metal is heavy, and even with the attributes of a corpse, the consumption of the same action will still be high. But with the Mana Power Reactor, it is different. This thing can be charged in many ways, and the dual power can make the action more durable.
Amber Xiu's words made Dahei feel a little relieved. He tried to walk a few steps. Apart from the fact that he couldn't control his strength well and easily fell, there were no other problems.
Amberxiu simply sent Dahei back to the private space, waited for more than half an hour, and then let him out.
The effect of time acceleration is good. When Dahei, who had trained for hundreds of hours in the private space, reappeared, his steps were steady and his movements were precise. He would no longer lose control of his body.
"Sir, I feel good about this body! It's much better than when I was alive." Dahei said happily.
During the hundreds of hours in private space, he had sparred with Erha several times and felt that he had surpassed his predecessors in all aspects.
"If it's weaker than when you were alive, you're doomed. Your entire fortune back then was only a few thousand gold coins, which wasn't enough to buy the puppet, not to mention the enhanced effects I spent on it." Amber Xiu said with a bit of heartache.
The metal conversion corpse attribute is very expensive. The total cost of this body is close to 600,000 gold coins, and that's when Amber Xiu deliberately saved money. If you choose a more advanced body, more special materials, the gold coins consumed when converting attributes will be several times higher.
Dahei: ...
What Amberxiu said was too insulting. If it were in the past, Dahei would definitely be angry, but now... it doesn't matter. He is no longer a human being.
After the horrible experience in the sewer, Dahei no longer had many worldly desires, and at the same time realized that the bigger the fist, the more truth. If he was a legend, how could he be bewitched by the ghost woman and leave the most painful memory of his life. Now, whether he has become a ghost or a robot, he has finally completely gotten rid of his miserable first half of life.
To some extent, he was quite grateful to Amber.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Erha was also very envious and said to Amber Xiu: "Master, can I also change to a mechanical one? Look at these bones in my body, several of them are broken."
When they were fighting in private, Erha was able to bully Dahei at first because he was not very flexible, but later he was beaten unilaterally. His magic rifle was not powerful enough to cause damage to Dahei, who was made of all metal. The only effect was to scratch the paint.
If Dahei touches him casually, his bones will be broken. The difference in fighting power is so huge that Erha can hardly accept it.
"I have prepared it for you a long time ago, but not in this form."
Amber took out a vat of mercury and said to Erha, "What do you think of this?"
Erha looked at him a little strangely, and then said, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"You have seen living mercury. Their fighting power is very good, much stronger than a simple skeleton body. But this is not living mercury, just ordinary mercury. I think you can give it a try."
Living mercury solution can only have powerful magic resistance and metal swallowing ability when it is alive. Once it is given the attribute of "corpse", these two characteristics will disappear. Therefore, if Amberxiu wants to create a real mercury spirit figurine, he must specially create a "soul that has not yet died" so that it can be combined with living things.
Erha and Dahei were already dead, and it was impossible to reform them, so we had to do the next best thing and use ordinary mercury for testing.
Erha has seen the fighting power of living mercury, and its free transformation seems quite interesting.
After becoming an undead, the half-elf's requirements for appearance became lower and lower. Now, after being stimulated by Dahei, he only wants to be strong.
With Erha's consent, Amberxiu quickly stuffed his soul into the transformed mercury.
Then, Erha let out a soul-stirring wail: "My body... is so heavy!"
He originally tried hard to condense his body into a human form, but gave up after just a short while.
"It's like this. Mercury doesn't have a power reactor. It's all driven by your own strength. So don't think about maintaining a human form. It's the most energy-saving to be in a ball-like form like a slime. And don't think about walking with your feet. Roll! Once you get used to this form, you'll find that it's actually not that strenuous."
Amber Xiu patiently instructed Erha, then put him into the private space again and let him practice on his own.
After a while, when Erha was brought out again, this guy resigned himself to his fate and turned into a ball of silver slime.
"How does it feel?" Amber asked.
Erha made a strange sound and said, "It's okay. As long as you accept it like this, it doesn't seem to be a problem."
Rolling does save a lot of energy, and is easier than walking in skeleton form. Moreover, the undead use their souls to sense the surroundings, and don’t care whether they have facial features or not.
It’s just that the transformation is hard to master. It’s impossible for Erha to draw a bow now, but it’s okay to pull the trigger of the magic rifle.
Amber Xiu was very happy that his two generals had adapted to their new bodies.
Amber Xiu said in a very serious tone: "Very good, you two brothers are the first batch of transformed undead in the world! You are epoch-making undead, stars that will go down in history. You are responsible for revitalizing the undead. Today I will give you an important task."
The two brothers were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that changing their bodies would have such a great significance. But when they thought about it, it didn't seem wrong. Who had heard of mechanical puppet undead? Who had heard of mercury undead? This was a new race, a great deed that could be recorded in history, and they were the protagonists of the story. This was much more exciting than when they were alive. From two fraudulent adventurers to figures recorded in history, what an honor it was.
The two brothers said in unison: "Sir, please give us your orders. We will do our best."
Amber nodded and said with satisfaction, "Very good, very spirited. Your mission is to find a holy warrior and see if the Holy Slash can kill you."
Erha: ...
Dahei: ...
Let’s just give up this opportunity to go down in history.
