Chapter 328 The Role of Mr. Doom
Amber looked at Mr. Fortune in the mirror and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Why would Zariel exchange a contract with Mr. Doom? This is obviously a losing business. Why would he do this? Is it because Mr. Doom is a prophecy mage? Although this profession is rare, it is not as bad as the collapse of an entire kingdom.
Even Tiamat is not just earning the souls of these millions of people. Once the Unholy Hymn collapses, more tieflings will die in the war, and a large part of these tieflings' souls will fall into hell.
Why not take this kind of good thing? Amber thought for a moment and asked, "Have you signed the contract?"
Mr. Doom shook his head and said, "Not yet. Once I have a list of all the people that need to be saved, I will talk to Zariel about it, but it's basically been decided."
"Then don't sign the contract and leave here. I remember that your ancestors gave up their identities as unclean a long time ago. Your family is not within the scope of this transaction. As long as you leave the unclean hymn, you can survive."
Although Mr. Fortune's family is prominent, as the earliest unclean, they are relatively few in number. The reason is that when the Unjust Council first gained power, Mr. Fortune's ancestors thought that doing so was a blasphemy against heroes, so they withdrew from the Unjust Council.
At that time, Zariel had not yet signed a contract with the Injustice Council.
So Mr. Doom is not on the list of people going to hell. If he wants to, it is easy for a prophecy wizard to run away. Mr. Doom smiled bitterly and said, "I have worked hard for this kingdom all my life, to wash away the shame of my ancestors. If I run away when the kingdom is in danger, what is the meaning of my life?"
Even if they are not undead, they always have their own obsessions.
Mr. Fortune has dedicated his entire life to the land beneath his feet. He may not be unaware that Zariel is lying to him, but he really has no other choice.
Changing the fate of a kingdom was beyond his ability.
Seeing Amber's silence, Mr. Doom said with a smile: "Don't be like this, you are a lich, why are you so sentimental?"
Amber Xiu replied calmly: "I just think this deal is too unprofitable. How can I tolerate doing a business that I know will lose money?"
Mr. Misfortune said helplessly, "What else can you do? To be honest, if you can help me solve this problem, I will give you my life. It is better than falling into hell."
Amber touched his chin and said, "Let me think about it. What I'm confused about is that the nobles of the Unholy Hymn should belong to Tiamat. Why is it Zariel who is negotiating a deal with you?"
Mr. Fortune explained, "Zariel said that Tiamat gave him full authority to negotiate with me. Do you think he was lying to me?"
Amber shook his head and said, "No, the devil won't tamper with something you know, otherwise the contract cannot be established. For example, if you ask the devil for one million gold coins, the devil will give you one million without any compromise, because this is something you know. But the devil will tamper with this matter in some way, it can be a pension, it can be compensation, it can be stolen money to frame you.
"Not a single gold coin will be missing, because this is a fact known to the contractor. Since Zariel said that Tiamat would leave this matter entirely to Him, it cannot be false. Tiamat agreed to the deal between Zariel and you. This is exactly what I cannot understand the most. Why did He agree?"
This time, the contract of the Unholy Hymn was divided into two parts. The gate of hell was successfully opened to block Ryan's army, and the entire Unholy Hymn fell into hell. The gate of hell was destroyed, and the thirteen unclean families all fell into hell.
These two bets may seem different, but they have one thing in common – they can be split evenly.
Zariel and Tiamat can settle accounts soul by soul, and they can always be separated.
But this new deal is different. The key point is Mr. Fortune's loyalty, which cannot be divided. We cannot let Mr. Fortune serve two lords of Hell at the same time.
Impossible. Both Tiamat and Zariel are control freaks and would never allow themselves to have two loyalties.
It is also impossible to cut Mr. Fortune into two halves. The most valuable thing about Mr. Fortune is his identity as a legendary prophecy wizard. If his soul is gone, everything will be wasted.
Amber told Mr. Fortune about his doubts, and Mr. Fortune thought for a while: "Will they replace me with something else? For example, all the other souls belong to Tiamat, and I become Zariel's subordinate."
Amber laughed and said, "Then Tiamat suffered a huge loss, losing millions of souls for nothing. If He didn't agree, wouldn't it be more profitable for him to simply split his soul with Zariel?"
In the new contract, the original millions of souls became hundreds of thousands, shrunk to one tenth. Tiamat was at a great loss, so how could she agree to it, unless Zariel pinned Her to the ground and beat Her to death.
However, this probability is very small. The lords of Hell are all cunning. Even if Tiamat cannot defeat Zariel, she will not be bullied to the point of being speechless. Since these two lords of Hell have cooperated, they must have the ability to maintain their autonomy.
Amber touched his chin and thought, "So, now half of the answer has been found. Zariel doesn't want you as a person, but what you can do for him. I think this thing should also allow Tiamat to earn enough benefits, more than those millions of souls. But the question is, what can you do for the Lord of Hell?"
Mr. Doom smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't learned as much as you have. I just know more about the power of destiny. This is the only power that can be used by others. But does the Lord of Hell also need to predict the future?"
Mr. Doom felt that Amber's guess was a little wrong. After all, he was just a mortal. How much use could his power have against the Lord of Hell? Amber shook his head and said, "It is definitely wrong to predict the future, but it must be related to your ability. As for what it is, it is impossible for us to guess. Without any clues, relying on imagination alone, we will be wrong 99% of the time. Brother, you really don't have any hidden tricks that you didn't tell me?"
Mr. Fortune rolled his eyes at Amber.
"If I have any hidden abilities, why don't I show them now? I'm going to go to hell. If you can't guess, don't guess blindly. It won't help the current situation at all."
Mr. Misfortune had just had a little hope, but it was immediately extinguished. No wonder he couldn't predict the future of the kingdom. Now it seemed that the goddess of fate was kind to him and didn't want him to despair for too long.
As a result, he and Amber Xiu, two disobedient children, insisted on digging out the bloody truth, and the final result was naturally tragic.
Mr. Misfortune wanted to persuade Amber Xiu to stop making such troubles and not to get himself involved.
"Arthas, I have never begged you in my life. This is the request of my whole life. Even if I reach an agreement with Zariel and save most of the tieflings, I am not sure how long they can hold out in the face of Lion's invasion. If you have the energy to spare, please help them."
An Boxiu laughed and said, "You don't have to tell me. I just set fire to Liuyan City."
"ah?"
Mr. Doom was shocked. Burned Liuyan City? How did this lich do it? Ryan's cities all have powerful holy light magic circles. It may not be very powerful against other races, but it doubles the attribute restraint effect on the undead. As soon as you get close, you will be burned to ashes by the holy light, right?
"Don't you dare joke about such things!" said Mr. Fortune excitedly.
"Who are you kidding? Not only did I burn down Flowing Flame City, I also planned to ask Zariel to see what He wants you to do."
Amber Xiu said this so seriously that Mr. Doom was a little confused. Could this guy be serious?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Who gives Zariel the right to tell you?" Mr. Fortune asked.
"Let's try it. What if He tells me?"
Mr. Doom didn't know where Ambershut got his confidence from. He was able to find out about Tiamat's contract before, but that was because this contract only brought despair and there was no chance of breaking it.
Now Amber is going to ask again, and it is such a crucial thing. Why should Zariel tell him?
When doing business, you always hide your cards. If you show your cards at the beginning, how can you negotiate the price? However, Mr. Doom was still very touched, because Amber Xiu could have just walked away, but for his own sake, he was willing to take the risk again.
Thinking of this, Mr. Doom sincerely said to Amber, "Arthas, I was too impulsive and too idealistic back then. We have been separated for so many years. I am mainly responsible. I am sorry."
"A sorry is not as real as gold coins. If I save you this time, you will owe me hundreds of billions."
Mr. Fortune chuckled.
"What tens of billions? Even ten times as much is no problem."
Looking at Mr. Doom with a bitter face in the mirror, Amberxiu silently disconnected the communication and teleported to the Underdark.
There was a 99% chance that Zariel would never tell Amber the truth, but it was still worth a try.
When they arrived at the Dark Hell, Amber gave the hair he had collected to Withered Rose and said to her: "The curse is very effective, don't let them idle."
Withered Rose was extremely welcome to cause trouble for Ryan. She took the hair and began to cast a spell. It seemed that there would be no peace in Liuyan City in the next few days.
"Melina, you'll just stand here for a minute."
Amber placed the ignorant Melina on the altar and began to recite the devil's language.
Every devil has his own summoning ritual. Amberxiu is now reciting the summoning words that are unique to Zariel, but after reciting it, a fierce fight is usually required as a summoning sacrifice.
The Grand Duke of Hell has different habits from other demons. She has no interest in slaughtering the weak. If you let two powerful warriors fight a life-and-death battle, it is possible that the Grand Duke of Hell will come to watch the battle.
But Amber didn't have time to find two warriors to fight here, so he let Melina stand for a while, thinking that she should be able to make Zariel look at her.
Sure enough, when Amber was halfway through reciting the summoning words, Zariel's body forged from flames appeared above the altar.
Zariel stared at Amber with indifference and said, "Lich, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, this blasphemous summoning is enough for me to punish you severely."
