Chapter 281 The Man Returning from Hell
The battle between gods was extremely brutal; the God of Alchemy himself was nearly hunted down and killed by the Rose Spider Queen.
If Amber hadn't helped him recover some strength in time, the God of Alchemy would not have been able to repel the Rose Spider Queen.
If the Rose Spider Queen had not had to worry about her allies who were definitely not good people, the God of Alchemy would have had no choice but to continue fleeing for his life.
Therefore, the God of Alchemy does not want Amber to become a god in this way.
If you fuse priesthoods that are not suitable for you, you will always be a weak god, the kind that is often killed by mortals in stories. The God of Alchemy gave up fusing priesthoods, partly because these priesthoods were not suitable for him.
For example, the three priesthoods of corruption, darkness and spider, after being merged, might turn alchemy into a technology that can only harm people. If this continues, the God of Alchemy will never be able to recover his original power.
Things that harm people will never be more popular than things used in daily life.
The only thing that is somewhat useful is the priesthood of the drow race. After the fusion, he can become the main god of all drow elves. The power will recover much faster, and there will be no side effects. The most is that the probability of alchemists appearing among the drow elves is higher.
But doing so would turn the God of Alchemy from a conceptual god into a god of faith. There is no difference between the two. It's just that in this way he would be influenced by his believers, which is not in line with the path that the God of Alchemy himself pursues.
Moreover, this is the most valuable of the four priesthoods.
If Amberxiu merged with the priesthood of the drow race, then he might be able to discuss with the Spider Queen Rose and make her a subordinate god. After finding a backer, his path to becoming a god would be smoother.
This student likes to take unconventional approaches, so as a teacher I naturally have to consider him more and arrange several backup plans for him.
"Let me see what this kid is busy with."
The God of Alchemy knocked on the table, and a huge crystal mirror rose in front of him.
This mirror appears smooth, but inside it are millions of lines that are imperceptible to the naked eye, and it contains powerful divine power.
This is a divine artifact created by the God of Alchemy himself. It is the highest realm of alchemy and a technology that mortals cannot understand.
Whatever you think in your mind, this mirror will reflect the corresponding image.
It was also thanks to this artifact that the God of Alchemy was able to detect the attack of the Rose Spider Queen in advance.
Amber's face soon appeared in the mirror, as well as in a dark alley, where a group of angry adventurers surrounded him.
The God of Alchemy feels a little tired. This kid is really causing trouble all the time.
It was already night in Ganlu City in the desert, and the cold wind was blowing, freezing water droplets into frost.
As soon as Amberxiu came out of the tavern, a group of adventurers blocked him in an alley near the tavern.
Amber sighed and said, "Why are there so many alleys like this near every tavern that are convenient for blocking people?"
Whether it is the Alchemy City or the Nectar City, they both have the same layout. This Adventurer's Tavern seems to be without light, and is surrounded by spider-web-like alleys in the center. If you want to leave, you must pass through such a dark space.
"It's this bastard!"
The orc ranger with a bandage on his face pointed at Amberxiu, his voice so miserable that it sounded like a wail.
The previous fight caused the orc ranger to break several bones. What was even more outrageous was that their leader was reluctant to even give him a bottle of healing potion.
The reason was that the adventure group had to pay a large sum of money to the tavern after the two were beaten up.
The tavern dared to ask for three hundred gold coins for a rotten table, and even the broken wine bottles used to beat people cost one gold coin each.
This price is crazy, it's not even worth a gold coin when it's filled with wine. And the reason they raised the price is that these bottles have been drunk by people, who may be future legends, and have great commemorative value, so they are worth so much.
The amount on the bill was enough to make their adventure group lose money and bleed.
The leader of the adventure group was suddenly burdened with such a huge debt and wanted to kill the two men on the spot, but the tavern didn't care how they handled it internally. If they wanted to continue to stay in Ganlu City, they had to pay the money.
Unable to swallow this humiliation, he naturally wanted to seek revenge on Amber Xiu.
Maybe they could get some compensation from the alchemist so that they wouldn't suffer such a huge loss. Alchemists are generally very rich.
When the night came and the wind was howling coldly, they finally trapped him in the alley.
"Boy, take out all your valuables, then cut off one of your arms, and we will consider sparing your life."
The speaker was a tall tiefling, wearing a heavy black armor that even covered his head tightly, and the patterns on it were very strange, making him look hideous and terrifying.
"Hell Knight? Tiefling Hell Knight, don't tell me this is your family heirloom armor?"
Amberxiu seemed very surprised. Being a Hell Knight was nothing special, but with the identity of a Tiefling, it was really extraordinary.
There once was a noble angel named Zariel. This angel despised his companions' weakness in dealing with the forces of hell, so he secretly formed an army and broke into hell to kill all the devil dukes.
Zariel was indeed extremely powerful, and at one point he achieved stunning results.
Unfortunately, not all the warriors following Zariel are as determined as the angels.
Some of them were frightened by the horrific environment of hell, so they chose to desert.
Zariel had prepared a fallback for this expedition, a portal that connected Hell and the mortal world powerful enough for angels to pass through.
However, in order to prevent their defection from being exposed, the deserters not only sneaked back to the mortal world through the portal, but also destroyed the portal.
The angel Zariel could no longer return to the mortal world. Facing endless demons from hell, the angel was eventually defeated and captured.
Zariel, who was defeated because of betrayal, finally failed to resist the corruption of hell, gave up his original grace, and fell into hell. The new devil duke became the master of the first layer of hell, and he was always thinking about the group of betrayed knights.
Among that group of Hell Knights, a large portion of them are Tieflings.
Tieflings, who originally possess hellish blood, are highly resistant to the hellish environment and should have been Zariel's greatest helper. However, who would have thought that tieflings were the fastest runners? Perhaps this is because the meanness in their blood has been activated by the hellish environment.
Anyway, that was a long time ago.
However, due to Zariel's fall, the facts of the betrayal of this group of Hell Knights have become ambiguous. Some people think that it was Zariel's fall that forced these Hell Knights to return, while others understand that it was the betrayal of this group of Hell Knights that led to Zariel's fall.
Amberxiu was because he once knew a Hell Knight who had lived for a long time. His body had been completely transformed into a demon, but he had blamed himself for his betrayal for so many years. Finally, he was freed with the help of Amberxiu.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Before he died, he confessed his mistakes to Amber, and even asked Amber to help destroy his soul completely in order to prevent his soul from falling into hell. This was also the first time Amber came into contact with necromancy, and it took him five days to completely tear his soul apart. This process was not comfortable.
But this Hell Knight still endured the pain that was like being tortured to death, and was eventually killed by Amberxiu.
Amberxiu also felt that if this Hell Knight had such a firm will when following Zariel, he would not have lived in guilt all his life.
The man in front of me, wearing the Hell Knight armor, is probably the one who holds a different view.
The tiefling leader did not expect that Amber would recognize the origin of his armor. He said proudly, "This is the medal of honor my ancestor won in his expedition to Hell. Since you still have some knowledge, I will spare your hand, but I will break at least one leg."
Amber rolled his eyes. This tiefling was obviously fooled by his ancestors.
But this is not important. Amber is not very interested in the dispute between the Grand Duke of Hell and the traitor.
Amber Xiu calmly said to the tiefling, "Captain, you just said you would break my legs and take away all my valuables?"
"Why, do you still think you have a chance?"
The blade has been unsheathed, the arrow has been aimed, and even the staff has been emitting a magical glow.
This is an experienced adventure group. They will not be careless when dealing with an alchemist. If he makes any unusual movement, they will give him a thundering blow.
Amber Xiu raised his hands and said, "Then let me open my magic space and take the things out."
"I advise you not to do anything stupid. Now, you can still survive, but if you anger us, no one will care if we kill you." The leader of the tieflings said threateningly.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't move." Amber Xiu opened the private space. As soon as the space crack opened, he continued, "But they may not obey."
Before the adventurers could react, more than a dozen drones flew out from the space crack and shot out large numbers of flying needles.
Screams rang out one after another, and those adventurers who had no armor protection fell to the ground.
Ambersu knew that the flying needles did not do enough damage, so he applied strong anesthetics on them. However, there were no elves among these adventurers and they were not immune to the effects of anesthetics, so they fell down when they were hit.
The only ones still standing were the heavily armored Tiefling leader and another lucky wizard, as he was blocked by his companions, so the flying needles did not hit him immediately.
However, after all his companions in front of him fell, he was also hit by a needle.
The mage's shield couldn't help him because his spellcasting level was too poor. The flying needles not only broke the shield, but also shot into his crotch.
In the end, only the Tiefling Hell Knight was left standing.
Although the captain was shocked by the fall of his teammates, after learning that the flying needles could not penetrate his armor, he raised his sword and pointed it at Amber.
"Cunning human! I have changed my mind. I will chop off all your limbs and stuff these garbage and scrap metal into your stomach!"
The long sword was emitting flames and was about to chop down Amberxiu.
However, the space crack did not close. Two huge black shadows flew out and pressed the Hell Knight to the ground. They were black gargoyles that were bigger than tigers. They were the ones that Herky Stone had given him a long time ago.
I never had the chance to use this thing before, and it’s a bit of a waste to use it now to deal with a Hell Knight who doesn’t look that good.
The obsidian gargoyle grabbed the tiefling's hands and feet and pinned him to the ground. No matter how he struggled, he could not move.
Amber walked up to the tiefling and said, "Look, I'm a man of my words. I didn't do anything rash. Now, let's get back to the topic of valuable things... I think your Hell Knight armor is pretty good. It should be worth a lot, right?"
