Chapter 240: Amberxiu's Booming Business
Late at night, the castle's laboratory was lit by candlelight, and Isabel was busy sorting out the experimental data from the whole day.
Before Amber returned, Isabel didn't have so much information to sort out.
It’s not because Isabel is not diligent enough, but because her speed in completing experiments is far slower than that of Amber.
This lich teacher can control the hands of more than a dozen wizards at the same time to perform operations. One person is equivalent to an assembly line.
Not only that, Amber has a much more solid foundation in alchemy than Isabel. He can think of several different formulas and related preparation processes in an instant.
Although the final result of the potion cannot be inferred out of thin air, every adjustment is targeted, so Amberxiu can obtain an astonishing number of experimental results in a day.
Isabel might not have so much data to record in half a month.
And it's not just about recording, it also needs to be organized into different categories.
In order to confirm the final effect, Amber spent half an hour explaining to Isabel how to list statistics, how to make bar charts and pie charts, etc.
Isabel said that she had never heard of this statistical method from her previous teacher, or maybe the teacher had kept it hidden from her.
Anyway, Isabel thought about it herself and found that this statistical method was clearer and more concise. Even when she was making the table, she had a clearer understanding of the differences in the amount of those materials used.
"Sure enough, the gap between me and the teacher is still too big."
Isabel felt a little emotional. If it was Amber who discovered the mucus, he would have made more and better potions long ago.
My enthusiasm for learning is at an all-time high, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with staying up late.
But the maid Cardina beside her was a little distressed and advised Isabel: "Miss, don't you want to rest? Can these things wait until tomorrow?"
Isabel said without even looking up, "No, that won't do. The teacher told me to send it to him tonight after I finish it. Please bring a bottle of vitality potion."
"But..." Cardina couldn't help but complain: "Alas, your teacher is too harsh."
Isabel had been looking down at the information, but when she heard what Cardina said, she immediately raised her head and warned her seriously, "Cardina, don't say a bad word about the teacher. You absolutely cannot do that. Do you understand?!"
Cardina had been with Isabel for some time, but she had never seen this young lady speak to her in such a harsh tone. Cardina knew that she had said something stupid. It seemed that the relationship between the young teacher and Miss Isabel was closer than she had imagined. She couldn't even say a single unpleasant word.
Could it be that these two people... Cardina thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Isabel was very beautiful, and that adult looked young and handsome. From the outside, the two of them were quite compatible. It was just that Miss Isabel was too nice, and that adult was so harsh. He didn't look like a good person at all.
Cardina was worried that Isabel was deceived by a bad man, but Isabel was more worried than the maid. She was worried that Amber heard what Cardina had just said. You know, this teacher is a lich!
Isabel saw with her own eyes how Amber disemboweled two adventurers who invaded the castle and turned them into undead. Isabel also helped clean the laboratory.
Although Amber was nice to her, Isabel always reminded herself not to anger him. Cardina was a good person, and Isabel didn't want to see her body on the dissection table tomorrow.
The two of them started tonight's overtime work with completely different thoughts. Amber Xiu lay in the chair he had not seen for a long time and chatted with his friends in the Mourning Poetry Society.
Although the previous journey through time was extremely costly, the rewards were also huge.
Apart from anything else, the heroic spirit of Arthur Lane alone is a huge and earth-shaking gain.
Previously, Withered Rose had been secretly collecting materials in the mountains among the orcs, so she had no time to pay attention to Amber. Now that the orcs have ceased fighting, Withered Rose has returned to the Underdark. It's time to talk about the issue of Arthur Ryan.
[Dead Rose: Are you sure that is the spirit of Arthur Lane? ]
[Ultraman Tiga: No, so I have sent a message to the elves. The previous Elf King and Arthur Ryan have been adventuring together for many years. I believe he can make an accurate judgment. According to Catherine's news, the Elf King should come to me in half a month.]
According to Catherine's reply, the old elf took this very seriously. If the elves didn't have many troubles to solve, he would have wanted to fly to Amberxiu to meet his old friend right now.
[Dead Rose: Let’s wait until we have confirmation. ]
The Withered Rose did not seem to care too much. Amberxiu thought that she would be very eager to meet this ancestor, or would want to transform Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit into a ghost?
This deal can be negotiated. If it doesn't work out, Amber can lend it to her for a few days so that she can beat up Arthur Lane. I guess she is willing to spend money on this.
However, the withered rose was indifferent to this, so Amber Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "You don't seem to be interested in Arthur Ryan, but he is your ancestor and the founding emperor of Ryan? Even if you hate him, you should care about him, right?"
[Dead Rose: Why should I care? It wasn't Arthur Lane who made that country what it is today. ]
Hey, there seems to be an explanation here. If it wasn’t Arthur Lane who made the Lane Empire what it is today, then who did it?
Amber Xiu didn't bother to be polite with Withered Rose and asked directly: [Is there any special information you can share? ]
[Dead Rose: There is nothing special. I haven't studied these carefully. I only know that when Arthur Ryan was still alive, the Ryan Empire did not discriminate against or even persecute aliens like it does now.]
When Withered Rose was young, she was a member of a branch of the royal family. Until one day, her father became the emperor. The reason was also outrageous. It was because his Ryan bloodline was stronger, and the previous emperor could not give birth to a more suitable child, so he had to pass the throne to Withered Rose's father.
Then, Withered Rose was lucky enough to be able to control the Dragon Armed Forces and became the next heir.
Then, the Withered Rose didn't want to be locked up in the palace as a breeding machine, so she chose to escape from Ryan.
It can be said that the Withered Rose does not know much about the real royal secrets, or that many generations ago, the royal family itself had lost most of the secrets.
Many people don’t even understand why they have to work hard for the royal bloodline generation after generation. Anyway, the dragon weapon is kept in the treasury and has not been used in more than a thousand years.
Even without using the dragon weapons, Ryan is still the most powerful country on the continent.
There are also many people in the royal family who think that there is no need to go through so much trouble. Not only will it cause many tragedies, but it will also make the Ryan royal family worse with each generation.
Bloodline alone is not enough to manage an empire. It also requires careful training from childhood, rather than just randomly pulling anyone into the chair.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But now, whoever can make the silver-white armor in the treasury glow a little can become the emperor. Wouldn't it mean that each generation of Ryan is getting worse than the previous one?
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Amber Xiu started talking about other cooperation.
[Ultraman Tiga: I have settled down in the desert. It is a huge underground ruin, large enough for us to cultivate. We can now try to cultivate the mercury spirit figurines I mentioned to you before on a large scale.]
[Dead Rose: Okay, tell me what you need. How about this, I'll have someone dig an underground passage to connect the Underdark with your dungeon, so that it will be convenient to transport various supplies.]
Amber hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant to agree.
It is of course a good thing to exchange what you have with the Withered Rose, and the transaction cost can be greatly reduced. But once this channel is opened, it is equivalent to handing the house key to the Withered Rose. Another point is that the mercury spirit figurine can self-divided as long as there is enough metal. Amber Xiu does not want the Withered Rose to know this. If she finds out this, she can just take one or two mercury spirit figurines and cultivate them herself. Then how will Amber Xiu collect the balance? But if he refuses, will it make the Withered Rose suspicious?
After thinking for a moment, Amber replied: [It would be great to open it up, but I'm afraid it's not that easy. I don't know what civilization left this underground ruins, and the building materials are incredibly strong. Catherine and I tried it, and after spending half a day, we only left a shallow scar on the city gate.]
[Dead Rose: How is this possible? Even you and the Elf Queen can't destroy it together? 】
Amber took out the memory crystal, which he had taken when he was in the dungeon. He was also planning to ask someone about the material of the city gate, and now was the perfect time to send it to Withered Rose.
After reading the contents of the memory crystal, Withered Rose replied: [This is outrageous. How could there be such a strong material in the world? How did a civilization that possessed such a material perish? ]
[Ultraman Tiga: Who knows? I'm curious too. Let's put it this way, forget about digging a tunnel, let's stick to the old rules and build a stable teleportation array. Although the cost is a bit higher, this is the only way to be more convenient.]
[Dead Rose: Okay, let's decide. When the teleportation array is built, I will come to see your new home. By the way, I said before that I had snatched the legendary corpse from the orcs. I will send you the specific requirements. Please help me make the soul as soon as possible. I need it urgently recently.]
Urgent need?
Amber was a little curious. Would the Undead Queen want to attack Ryan now? Although the Silver Moon Knight was dead, Ryan still had the most legends on the continent and the strongest military force.
Amber Xiu couldn't ask more, so he could only suggest: "Well, if you really need it, you can ask other people for help. I believe Gareth and the others will be happy to help."
[Dead Rose: Haha, don't worry, I'm not going to fight Ryan now. I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry. It's just that there are some troubles in the Underdark that need to be resolved.]
Amber Xiu was relieved and replied: [Don't worry, I promise to help you do it. By the way, the cost may not be low. ]
【Dead Rose: You name your price.】
[Ultraman Tiga: Although the soul's rank cannot be legendary, to control a legendary undead body, it would cost at least 10 million gold coins.]
[Dead Rose: I'll give you 20 million to help me do my best. 】
Amber Xiu sighed, she is worthy of being the queen, after deducting the cost, this business will make at least 18 million.
