Chapter 282: Breaking the Sound Barrier
Amber Xiu looted the adventurers and got more than 3,000 gold coins in cash, a set of 70% new Hell Knight armor, an elm staff, and some miscellaneous items.
Amber estimated that the total value of this ticket was 60,000 to 70,000 gold coins, and the most valuable item was a full set of Hell Knight armor. This was no ordinary antique, not only had historical value, but was also a truly usable armor. Moreover, the historical background was not just an ordinary epic, but a mythological epic about a fallen angel.
A set of armor that has been to hell, a set of armor of a traitor, if it meets someone who likes to collect this kind of armor, it will be worth more than 60,000 or 70,000 gold coins, and it is not surprising to sell it for hundreds of thousands.
These adventurers are really rich, but after being plundered by Amber, I wonder if they can pay the tavern's orders? I'm afraid that many of them will be captured and used as slaves to pay off their debts.
So sometimes you can't act impulsively. Without figuring out who your opponent is, you can't just make the situation so chaotic that there is no room for negotiation, forcing the other party to have no choice but to turn the table. The result is that if something unexpected happens, you will lose everything.
Amber was about to return with her spoils contentedly when she suddenly sensed some strange changes in her private space.
After changing the place, Amberxiu quickly opened it to check, only to find that it was the Hell Knight's black heavy armor that was glowing.
Dark red, scorching light, like the flames of hell.
Amberxiu walked over curiously and saw a phantom made of flames appear on the armor.
It was an old tiefling with a weathered face, opening his mouth and spitting out the flames of hell at Amber.
Amberxiu waved his hand and easily dispersed the flames, then shot out three red magic missiles with a touch of his fingertips, blowing the armor away.
Although it was blown away, the Hell Knight armor did not seem to have suffered much damage. The flaming shadow sank into the armor, as if a living person was wearing the armor, and began to rush towards Amberxiu with big strides.
Amber Xiu chuckled and did not move. The heavy armor burning with flames was frozen in time, and even the blazing flames were frozen in time.
This is Amber's private space, where he can control the flow of time at will.
Amber slowly walked to the immobilized armor and said in surprise, "Hellfire, Wrathful Spirit... This combination is really rare."
The shadow of the tiefling was somewhat similar to that of the unfortunate leader of the adventure group. Amberxiu estimated that it was most likely an ancestral spirit, but it looked full of resentment.
"Because he became a traitor, his resentment could not be eliminated. After his death, he attached himself to the armor. Because the descendants of this armor are using it, the resentful spirit did not harm the user. It was not until the armor was stolen that this guy started to make trouble... That's about it."
As Amber Xiu was reasoning, he reached out and grabbed the fixed vengeful spirit.
With a hook of his finger, a fiery red silk thread was pulled out, followed by skillful unraveling of the thread. The vengeful spirit from hell was directly pulled into a ball of thread by Amberxiu.
After dismantling the ghost, Amberxiu also learned about the ghost's past from the memories within it.
It was almost as he guessed. The betrayer had cheated away too much wealth and glory, and in his later years he was afraid of falling into hell and facing the master he had betrayed again. He turned into a vengeful spirit out of extreme fear.
The vengeful spirit attached itself to the armor and was passed down to his sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons.
Until this generation, they left the Kingdom of Unholy Ode and came to the desert to form an adventure group.
From the memory of this vengeful spirit, Amber found another interesting point. The Hell Knights who had betrayed the angel Zariel were being liquidated.
Even though most of the people back then were dead, their descendants were being liquidated. That was why these tieflings left their hometown and came to the desert to make a living.
Because he was once a noble and had a good heritage, the leader formed a not-so-small adventure group, which achieved some success. However, he was unlucky to meet Amber Xiu.
"Interesting. Why did the Unholy Song hunt down the descendants of the Hell Knights? This kingdom is making a deal with Hell again... No way, these descendants of the Hell Knights are meant to be given to Zariel. They use the descendants of the betrayers as gifts in exchange for Zariel's help."
Amber Xiu felt that his guess was very likely.
To be honest, Zariel became much stronger after her fall, and it was not difficult for her to control a kingdom.
However, the tieflings probably didn't cooperate too deeply with this fallen angel, otherwise the gods in heaven would have intervened long ago.
"Alas, the madman in Alchemy City wanted to become a god but ended up in failure. Silvermoon High Court wanted to play the elves rise but failed. Tieflings cooperated with Hell and are not far from death. It seems that any kingdom that wants to commit suicide will end up in failure... It doesn't make sense. Why is Ryan still so strong after committing suicide for so long?"
Amberxiu only hated the injustice of the gods, who should bless a lich like him who benefits the world. Religious lunatics are more terrifying than cultists.
After complaining for a while, Amberxiu picked up the vengeful spirit thread in his hand and started weaving it again.
This is a good vengeful spirit with a very strong soul. As long as some memories are deleted, some emotions are removed, some functions are added, and then it is marked with Amber's mark... The original vengeful spirit of hell was modified by Amber into a very special undead.
Ambersu stuffed the undead into the original Hell Knight armor, and a raging fire suddenly ignited. The armor directly separated into dozens of pieces and flew towards Ambersu.
These parts were precisely fitted to Amber's frame to dress him in this Hell Knight armor.
Not only that, after putting it on, Amber's legs and hands began to spew out a large amount of hellfire, and the powerful spray force pushed his body slowly upwards.
Amberxiu cast the Feather Fall Technique on himself, and his body became as light as a feather. Propelled by the jet of flames, he flew back to Ganlu City from the private space.
The flight rushed into the night sky from the alley, leaving a beautiful arc of fire. Amber flew directly out of Ganlu City to avoid having to explain to the lizardmen in the city defense why he violated the no-fly order.
Amber Xiu felt the air current passing by him at high altitude and roughly estimated the flying speed, which was about two hundred kilometers per hour.
It’s not fast, but it’s much faster than the 60 to 70 kilometers per hour of flying magic.
"Can it be combined with a jet engine? And then paired with my Mithril body, maybe I can try to break the sound barrier."
Amberxiu flew from night to day, stopping from time to time to adjust and redo it. When the sun came out, he had already changed into the latest version of the Mithril Mecha.
There is an extra layer of thick black armor on the body made of mithril, as if he was wearing two sets of armor.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although it is a bit bloated, it is useful.
Flying technique, feather falling technique, and then the jet engine... After adding everything that could be added, Amberxiu ignited his whole body and activated the jet engine behind him at the same time.
Amberxiu went straight into the sky, and his speed was so fast that Amberxiu's soul was about to be thrown out.
After the huge explosion, Amberxiu realized that his speed had exceeded the speed of sound.
Unfortunately, the jet engine modified from the magic cannon was still not very stable. It exploded with a bang after flying a thousand meters high.
Amberxiu was blown to the ground and fell several times, and he finally managed to steady himself.
Only the Lich's immortal body can be played like this. If it were a living person, your explosion would be enough to make a strong orc faint, and then fall from the sky to the ground and turn into a meat paste.
"I still need to take some time to research the jet engine. I'd rather reduce the power a bit than enhance its stability. As long as it doesn't explode, it should be able to break the speed of sound stably with my armor."
Speed is always an important attribute that cannot be ignored.
The last time he was able to walk a group of legendary paladins like dogs, it was because his jet engine far exceeded the speed of flight magic.
If he didn't have this thing, he would have been chopped into bone powder by a group of holy warriors.
If Amber could maintain this speed stably, he would be invincible in air combat in the future.
The sword of the Silver Moon Knight might not be able to catch up with him. From now on, he will be the only one to beat people, and no one else can touch him.
Amberxiu could easily bomb several cities in Ryan in one day, throwing a few meteor bombs here, and then go to another place half an hour later and throw a few more meteor bombs.
A legendary wizard with great mobility and magical power as strong as an entire mage group is terrifying to think about.
Just as he was thinking about the bright future, Amber found something even more wonderful appearing in front of him.
The God of Alchemy descended directly beside him and handed him four finger-sized boxes.
"I have already stripped away the priesthood. Take it."
"Why four?" Amber asked curiously. It was agreed that one would be left for the God of Alchemy.
The God of Alchemy said, "None of these priesthoods are suitable for me. So, you have to exchange them for something else. Just give me this set of equipment that breaks the sound barrier and all the technical information. I vaguely feel that there will be a breakthrough in alchemy."
