Chapter 2 An order has come in

: "Living mercury solution?"

Amberxiu knocked his head. He had heard of this alchemical potion. It seemed to be a defective product just made by the Alchemy Society. It was a by-product of the new slime breeding program.

The Alchemist Council has been suffering from the lack of new creations in recent years, which has made those arrogant alchemists very anxious. After all, in their view, magicians, sorcerers, and gods are not as good as the bottles and jars in their hands.

They were obsessed with the great fantasy that alchemy could create everything, and hundreds of years ago they even wanted to create a real god through alchemy. But they forgot that the god of alchemy really existed.

The gods could not accept such blasphemous behavior, so they gave these arrogant alchemists an unforgettable defeat.

The plan to refine a god failed completely, and the god of alchemy punished all alchemists. No alchemist could get inspiration from his divine power anymore.

The great alchemy city of Alchemia had not seen any new potion formula for two hundred years. It was not until many years ago that the current president of the Alchemist Council finally broke the seal of the gods and created a new potion formula, which saved Alchemia from gradual collapse.

The speaker was also a legendary figure. He broke the curse of the gods and saved the City of Alchemy. He also modified the rules of the City of Alchemy, no longer restricting the entry of talents of any race or nationality. He also provided a large number of affordable potions as welfare, which attracted a large number of talents in a short period of time. It finally took decades to revive the city.

Amberxiu only came to the Alchemy City in recent decades, and it was because of the Alchemy City's tolerance that he dared to reincarnate as a lich here.

But as this legendary figure aged and gradually retired, the alchemists began a new round of suicide. They became obsessed with creating new species that did not exist in the world, one of which was to create metal slimes.

But without the participation of the genius speaker, the experiment failed again and again. The metal slime created was nothing more than a pile of slime corpses, so it was changed to a living mercury solution, which could only be used to melt and decompose metal.

In addition, other messy experiments on new species also failed one after another, wasting a lot of resources in the Alchemy City, leading to a very tight financial situation. As the economy went down, the elves of Silvermoon High Court quickly took advantage of the situation, and the large-scale price increase of magic potion raw materials made the financial problems of the Alchemy City even worse.

The result was that a large number of potion-related industries went bankrupt. Even undead creatures like Ambershu were affected. Various investments suffered losses and the company fell into a complete financial crisis.

Damn high elf!

Amberxiu cursed again before replying on the Codex of the Dead.

[Ultraman Tiga: You want this for an experiment? I heard that this potion is a failure, and all the slimes that were turned into mercury have lost their activity.]

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: I know, but this solution still retains the property of slime to eat everything. I have a special situation here and need living mercury solution to deal with some metal waste. ]

[Ultraman Tiga: Private money? ]

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: What private money? Goddess of the Dead, please don't make up rumors out of thin air! ]

[Dead Rose: It seems like it was really private money. Why would a dead soul like you get married for no reason? And you married a bone dragon.]

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: You don't understand the beauty of marriage. Stop talking nonsense, brother Tiga. Just tell me whether you can get it. At worst, I'll pay for the transfer.]

[Ultraman Tiga: I can try, but it will probably be very expensive. Recently, the Alchemist Council has tried every possible way to reduce costs and increase efficiency. This failed product has also been hyped up by them. It seems that they want to get some of the cost back.]

[Crown of the Headless Horseman: 20,000 gold coins per bottle. I can pay half of it as a deposit.]

A picture slowly appeared on the yellowed pages of the book. It was a precious magical material called "Dragon Bone Vine".

Rumor has it that only a legendary bone dragon that has been sleeping for a hundred years will have this kind of vine growing on its body. It is an essential extractor for many high-level potions.

As the image became clearer, the dragon bone vine emerged from the pages and turned into a physical object. One of the special functions of the Codex of the Dead is that some small objects can be sent through the Codex of the Dead.

This Dullahan brother really gave what he said. No wonder he married a bone dragon. It seems that the dowry is really big. With the high elves constantly driving up the price of magic potions, this dragon bone vine is worth at least 12,000 gold coins. This deposit is too much. It seems that this brother has a lot of private money to hide.

"Fuck you high elves, I will tear down your Silvermoon High Garden sooner or later!"

Amber cursed, then replied to the Dullahan brother: "I will place the order right now, and it will arrive in five days at most."

After closing the Codex of the Undead, Amberxiu immediately gathered his magic power and created a magical crow.

This little spell is too easy for a legendary spellcaster.

This crow has only one ability, which is to help Ambersu send letters with purchasing information to the Alchemy City. In a few days, a caravan will deliver the living mercury potion to Ambersu's castle.

A magician's life is so convenient.

However, after writing the purchase letter, Amber took out a pile of corpse bones from the cabinet and prepared to continue his experiment.

"Humph, you are discriminating against the undead, right? I will let you know that there is absolutely no problem with my thesis."

Amber Xiu waved his hand, and the originally neat skeleton was disassembled by an invisible force and turned into pieces of bones.

These bones were suspended beside Amberhu, and Amberhu fell into deep thought.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The reason why the skeleton is clumsy is that the structure of human bones is too complex and the damage caused by death to the human soul is too great.

Every necromancer has to go through this novice stage, and the undead creatures they create have low soul quality, so they move clumsily. The skeletons created in this way are like a mentally retarded person controlling a Gundam. It takes many years of practice to accurately control every joint.

Therefore, most wild undead creatures need a lot of time to exercise their control, which is meaningless to Amber. The soul is a computer, and its computing power is limited. If it wastes resources on balancing the body, won't the movements be clumsy? "Why do skeletons have to become humanoid? Why do they have to walk on their feet? Wouldn't it be easier to turn into four wheels?"

The structure of bipedal walking is inherently unreasonable, and intelligent life evolved the ability to walk upright in order to use tools with its hands, but this action is very difficult. Even a living human child needs about a year of growth before he can stagger, and even after four or five years, he may not be able to run without falling.

But since they are already undead, why bother with two legs or eight legs? If the original form is stable enough, there is no need to worry about falling. The saved balance power can be used for other actions, and naturally it can be done better. If other actions are limited to some simple and repetitive split actions, then the soul will be easier to operate.

Amber opened several scrolls, on which were several new skeleton forms that he had carefully designed. These designs had originally been published in "Legendary Spells" and discussed and studied with a large number of necromancers.

Now, Amber can only create new skeletons according to the original design.

There are already many skeletons for housekeeping in the castle, but if Amber wants to impress his undead colleagues, he needs to create a skeleton warrior with lower cost but higher combat effectiveness.

"Traditional skeleton warriors can only rely on cold weapons to fight..."

Amber began to carefully disassemble the bones and piece them together. Then he took out a glass jar and took out a ball of translucent light.

This is the simulated soul, which can not only create a soul out of thin air, but also modify it. The computing power of this soul is so low that it is far from enough to control the entire skeleton body, but if it only controls one or two joints, it can be easily handled, just a little modification...

Amber was busy when suddenly a scream came from outside the castle. Amber immediately put down the bones in his hand, and the soul fire in his eye sockets condensed together, just like the shrinking of human pupils.

The magic trap he designed was triggered, and someone invaded his castle by abnormal means.
