Chapter 340: Doing Business with the Unclean
The situation between Ryan and the Unclean Song is becoming increasingly tense.
The death of the iron-blooded General Rachel Angelou did not calm the war, but instead caused Ryan to deploy more troops on the border.
Not only that, Ryan also spread the news that the emperor would lead the army in person and come to the front line to assist the soldiers.
There is no doubt that Ryan used all his strength, which made the tieflings of the Unholy Hymn quite nervous.
However, the content of the tension between the upper and lower class tieflings is different.
The people at the bottom were worried about whether the gates of hell could stop Ryan's invasion, while the people at the top were worried about the news that Domino Lawley would bring back.
Mr. Doom wants to stop their plan and send these nobles to hell.
This may sound like a far-fetched story, but they all knew what contract they had signed. If the gates of hell were successfully opened and Ryan's army was successfully resisted, the entire kingdom would fall into hell, and the benefit they, the nobles, would get was that they would not be tortured in hell, but would become devils under the command of the Grand Duke of Hell.
The plan has been discovered, rumors are spreading, and Mr. Bad Luck is against them.
Domino Lawley had seen how elusive the prophecy wizard was, and he didn't even have the chance to call for help.
Two whole days passed, and whenever she closed her eyes, she could see the terrifying scene. She was like a bug caught in a spider web, the more she struggled, the tighter she was bound. She tried every trick she could, but in the end, she didn't even know how she fainted.
But even if they escaped, it would be useless, time was passing and the invasion of the Ryan people would not stop.
If they want everything to go according to plan, these Tieflings must get rid of Mr. Doom.
But this person is so elusive that we can't find him no matter what method we use.
Domino Lawley thought about it for two days but couldn't come up with any solution. Just two days later, a strange alchemical product was delivered to her.
It was a huge full-length mirror with a very complex mechanical structure behind it. Domino Lawley was also an alchemist recognized by the Alchemy City, but she looked at it for a long time but still couldn't fully understand how the mirror worked.
Now, everyone at the meeting looked at Domino Lawley, because it was Domino Lawley who told everyone the information about Mr. Doom.
Seeing the worried and confused looks of these unclean people, Domino Lawley sighed and had the mirror pushed out.
"Everyone, someone sent this mirror yesterday. I don't know who sent it, but the other party left a note saying that if you want to solve your current troubles, use this mirror to find him."
Domino Lawley passed the note to the other unclean ones, and everyone's expressions became very ugly after reading it.
This was clearly a threat, but they had no way to deal with it.
Domino Lawley also knew that they had no choice but to activate the mirror according to the instructions on the note.
A moment later, a young man with black hair and black eyes appeared in the mirror.
"Hey, fellow unclean ones, I thought you would need a few more days to think about this. It seems that you are all smart people and act decisively."
Domino Lawley frowned. She felt somewhat familiar with this face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
She shouldn't be mistaken for such a special face and eye color, but where had she seen him before? Domino Lawley was thinking, and the other unclean ones couldn't help themselves.
"Kid, who are you? Are you working with that traitor?"
The unclean one who was speaking was named Sadio Luz. He was the richest noble in the Unholy Song. His family loved doing business and controlled many key industries in the country, with mountains of gold coins coming into their accounts every day.
The person in the mirror was naturally Amberxiu, but he had turned into a human.
Facing the question from the tiefling, Amber smiled and said, "Ask me who I am? My name is not important, just like I don't want to ask your name, because what we are going to talk about next has nothing to do with names. Everyone, do you want to fall into hell and be burned to charcoal by the hellfire?"
Domino Lawley listened to Amber's voice, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He said to Amber, "Master Tiga Ultraman, is that you? I have seen your portrait in the Alchemy City, and I have also read your works."
Amber smiled and said, "It is my honor, Master Laurie. I also sincerely admire your achievements in alchemy. That is why I am making a deal with you at this critical moment to help you through your difficulties."
Domino Lawley frowned. She could sense that Amber was being falsely polite.
My so-called reputation is meaningless. This person is just making up an excuse. This negotiation will probably be very difficult.
"Master Ultraman, first of all I need to confirm one thing, are you cooperating with the traitors of our Unholy Hymn?" Domino Lawley asked.
Amber Xiu said without hiding anything: "Yes, he is my old friend. To some extent, we are students taught by the same teacher. So, I was invited by Mr. Doom to help him with his actions."
"Do you know that you are making an enemy of the Unholy Hymn by doing this?!" Domino Lawley threatened, "We can send a hundred thousand troops to hunt you down. No matter where you hide, we will find you!"
Amber listened to the threat calmly, and then said, "I thought your time was precious and there was no need to waste it on such boring temptations. But now it seems that you are quite open-minded about going to hell and are not in a hurry at all."
Domino Lawley was about to retort, but Amber suddenly said loudly: "Your time is worthless, but it doesn't mean that my time can be wasted. Domino Lawley, let's throw away those boring red tape and negotiation procedures. I'll be frank, Mr. Doom knows the contract you signed with the Lord of Hell, and he knows the whole content.
"And now, he has signed a new contract with the Lord of Hell. The Kingdom of the Unholy Hymns will not fall into hell, but you unclean ones will endure thousands of years of torture in hell. The situation now is that you can't do anything but wait to go to hell and wail in the flames of hell for hundreds or thousands of years. And I am your only hope."
Domino Lawley retorted: "Can a mere prophecy wizard be exchanged for an entire kingdom? Will the Lord of Hell not even settle this account?"
Amber Xiu didn't explain, but took out a few memory crystals and played the contents inside.
Everyone saw the scene when Mr. Fortune signed the contract. Both Zariel and Tiamat were present, and the scene did not look like one side was superior. Instead, it seemed like a truly equal contract.
Amber Xiu showed the part of the contract, pointed at the devilish words on it and said, "This paragraph is written very clearly. The only ones who will fall into hell are you unclean ones, and some relatives, about 100,000 people in total. Also, Master Lao Li, I'm afraid you don't understand the preciousness of the prophecy wizard. There may be less than five prophecy wizards in the entire continent. As for the use, you will know it when the time comes. I guarantee that you will never forget it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Amber took out these images, all the unclean people were stunned.
They did not dare to question the authenticity of the image because it contained the images of the two lords of hell.
Lifelike statues can attract the attention of gods. If this image is fake, the two lords of hell will definitely take direct action to punish this mortal who blasphemes the gods.
As for the content of the contract, they did not understand the language of the devil and could not judge whether it was true or false.
But if Zariel and Tiamat were both real, could the contract be fake? It was not impossible for them to summon Zariel to verify it. I thought the other party would not fake such a thing, and it made no sense.
If all this is true... then aren't they doomed? Going to hell to serve the Lord of Hell and being punished in hell are two completely different things.
This group of unclean people began to argue fiercely, and Amber watched them quarreling quietly.
Some want to threaten, some want to cooperate, some want to negotiate conditions, and some are completely silent... When a country's leader is faced with a matter of life and death, not every leader can remain calm.
In the end, it was Domino Lawley, the oldest Unclean One, who forced everyone to calm down. Then, on behalf of the entire Unjust Council, she said to Amber: "Since you are talking about a deal, then tell me first, what can you give us? I don't believe you can get the Lord of Hell to modify the contract, and I don't believe you will betray your friends."
Amber nodded and said, "That's right. I am just a mere mortal. How could the Lord of Hell look down on me? It is impossible to change the contract, so you will definitely go to hell and be punished."
"What kind of deal are you talking about?" Domino Lawley said angrily.
Amber Xiu did not explain, but took out a coin with a strange shape.
He made some random operations on the magic mirror, and the coin was sent to the conference room through the small teleportation array next to the magic mirror.
"Everyone may want to take a look at this. I believe someone who knows what's good will recognize what this is."
Sadio Luz, who was the most excited just now, quickly grabbed the coin and said in surprise: "Soul Coin! This is Soul Coin, the universal currency of Hell!"
Amber Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, it is soul coins. Everything in the mortal world is of little use to the devil, but souls are hard currency in hell. Think about it, if each of you can offer a large amount of soul coins to the Lord of Hell after you go to hell, will you have a chance to avoid punishment?"
Sadio Luz rushed to the magic mirror and said to Amber Xiu excitedly: "How much do you have? What price do you want to sell it for?"
Amber looked at the face that blocked most of the mirror and was distorted by madness, and knew that he had already made half of the profit from this business.
Amber said to the magic mirror: "I have 1.5 million soul coins here, and each of them is sealed with the soul of an elite warrior. You can calculate how much it costs to train a qualified warrior? Even if it is a person with extraordinary talent, it will cost hundreds or thousands of gold coins to train him. I won't count the fractions, one thousand gold coins for one soul coin. By the way, the first two transactions can be discounted by 10%."
