Chapter 451 You're Finally Crazy
When the name of the Goddess of Wealth was mentioned, Amber Xiu immediately became very interested.
The goddess of wealth, Waukeen, has the titles of Friend of Merchants, Goddess of Trade, and Protector of Traders. What Amberxiu has been looking forward to most over the years is to become the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, and the second is the goddess of wealth.
But now, Amberxiu has completely lost hope in the Goddess of Magic, and instead wants to meet the Goddess of Wealth.
It’s a pity that in all these years, he has never seen this person come down to chat with him.
Amber Xiu asked curiously, "What happened to the Goddess of Wealth? Teacher, you also said that I should have been chosen by her a long time ago."
The God of Alchemy explained, "He is sleeping. Long ago, he was captured by a powerful abyss demon. After a long period of imprisonment, he was able to escape. Later, although he successfully avenged the abyss demon, he also fell asleep due to the loss of divine power. In recent years, there has been little development in business on the Prime Material Plane, which is also related to Waukeen's sleep."
Amber Xiu asked doubtfully: "Then how did you find Him?"
"You don't need to know this." The God of Alchemy didn't seem to want to talk about this issue. He just said to Amber, "I'm trying to find a way to awaken Him. And I need you to continue to develop your business empire. The Kingdom Alchemy Factory plan you proposed has exceeded the original rules of this world and will be of great help to Woking.
"I can sense that His power is recovering. He is only a little bit away from waking up."
Amber Xiu never expected that the goddess of wealth had been imprisoned by the devil of the abyss. This seemed to be not recorded in the book.
Moreover, the God of Alchemy did not mention how he knew Wakoon, and Ambershu began to doubt whether He was involved in Wakoon's coma. Could it be that he was the one who murdered him?
Amberxiu and the God of Alchemy, the master and disciple, are not good people. They cheat humans and gods alike and have no psychological burden.
But since the God of Alchemy said so, Amberxiu could only believe him and agreed.
"I will soon be looking for the Lords of Hell to trade with. I hope that the trade of soul coins can also provide the Goddess of Wealth with the power of recovery."
The God of Alchemy nodded and said, "Of course, any business transaction is essentially the same, whether it is gold or souls. But this time, don't let yourself win twice, it's better to have a real win-win situation. After all, what Waukin wants is for business activities to flourish, not for one capitalist to monopolize all industries."
"Then you're putting me in a difficult position." Amber said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
The God of Alchemy rolled his eyes at Amber and said helplessly, "Asking you to reciprocate is embarrassing you. Listen to what you are saying. If you continue like this, Wakin will not choose you as her Chosen One when she wakes up."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Amber Xiu also knew that he was going to ask for help this time, so he shouldn't go too far.
Let’s try to make it a true win-win situation this time.
"One last question, teacher. Do you know how to find the whereabouts of this Shrimp Head Goddess? It should be hard to find a god hiding in the kingdom of God, right?" Amber Xiu asked this last question.
The God of Alchemy nodded and said, "Indeed, I only know that His kingdom is in the water elemental plane. That is a very huge world, and it is very difficult to locate His kingdom. However, it is not completely impossible. After all, as long as you give me a direction, I can invent an alchemical artifact to solve this problem."
"So powerful?" Amber Xiu said in surprise.
"I, your teacher, don't just lie here every day. The change in the concept of alchemy has brought about the growth of divine power. Naturally, I can do more."
Amber Xiu asked quickly, "Can we just create a divine weapon to capture the Kuo Tao fish goddess and pack her up?"
The God of Alchemy said disdainfully: "Why not just make a god among gods for you?"
"I won't refuse if you want."
"If I had this thing, would I give it to you?!" The God of Alchemy decisively closed the communication.
After bidding farewell to the God of Alchemy, Amberxiu did not stop. The highlight was coming next. It was time to chat with the two long-lost Dukes of Hell.
Summoning Tiamat required a massive blood sacrifice, but Zariel only needed to place Melina in the middle of the summoning circle.
It just so happened that Withered Rose mentioned to Amber that the site selection for the alchemy factory in the Kingdom of Rage had been completed, and it was time for her to go there.
The Gold Coin Island had already built a teleportation array leading directly to the Angry Tide Kingdom, so Amberxiu was directly teleported to this long-lost island.
The Angry Tide Kingdom still looked similar, except that the guard of honor that came to welcome Ambersu was a bit grand. Looking at that mighty army, Ambersu was a little surprised. They seemed to be more energetic.
Withered Rose and Ariel stood side by side, and the two beauties with different styles were particularly eye-catching.
Amber Xiu didn't want to spoil the fun and walked over to greet him in the appearance of a black-haired boy.
Ariel had seen this look before, so she wasn't surprised. Instead, she felt relieved.
After all, it is not a good idea to cooperate with a lich. There is opposition within the Kingdom of Rage, but the appearance of the Withered Rose and Princess Melina is very good, which makes those who are quite hostile to the undead restrain themselves a little.
We can’t blame humans for judging people by their appearance. When we are not familiar with someone, appearance determines the first impression.
If Amber could appear in human form, it would at least make those opponents feel better.
Ariel thought to herself, "This lich is quite polite. It seems that he is sincere in cooperating with the Kingdom of Raging Tide."
Amber Xiu was not in a hurry. He first inspected the site of the alchemy factory step by step.
Because Amberxiu wanted to build a relatively large alchemy factory, the island where the royal capital was located did not have enough flat land for construction, so the factory was initially divided into two island areas. The ground was almost flat, and the design drawings were also drawn by someone Amberxiu asked to come over, and there was no problem with the content.
But after looking at the overall design, Amber looked at Ariel and said, "If we build the factory on two separate islands, the transportation of materials will be a problem. It will not only increase costs, but also cause unnecessary loss and waste."
The Kingdom of Raging Tide is the main manufacturing point for dragon materials. Products processed from these precious magical materials are generally very delicate, and the effects will be destroyed if they are not careful during transportation.
Every extra transportation step will result in extra loss, which is unacceptable.
Ariel apologized and said, "The Kingdom of Raging Tide is made up of islands. We don't have much flat land. Unless we relocate the civilian settlements, we really can't find enough land to build factories."
This is what Ariel is most worried about. Someone in the Kingdom of Angry Tide has proposed to demolish part of the residential area to accommodate the construction of the alchemy factory.
But the capital has a large population and little land, making it difficult to arrange. Once this is done, many people will be displaced.
Those ministers didn't care about the lives of the people. They only saw the transaction conditions proposed by the other party, and their eyes lit up. It was Ariel who overcame all objections and split the alchemy factory into two.
But I didn’t expect that the lich was still not satisfied.
Amber looked at Ariel. After not seeing her for a while, the princess seemed to look a little haggard. The Angry Tide Kingdom was such a small place. Was it really that tiring?
"Master Ultraman, are you dissatisfied with this design?"
Amber's silence made Ariel a little nervous. The lich in front of her was a distinguished guest who could feed the Kingdom of Rage. She really didn't want him to be dissatisfied because of this, but she also didn't want those people to be displaced.
"Don't worry, I know your difficulties. So, I will solve this problem. I will just transform a piece of vacant land a little bit. Should that be okay?"
Ariel quickly said, "Of course no problem."
This piece of vacant land has already been leveled, so Amberxiu can modify it however he wants.
A golden throne that had shrunk by half appeared behind Amberxiu. As Amberxiu waved his hands, the ground began to shake, and a large amount of sand and rocks surged out from the bottom of the sea, connecting with the open space near the sea.
Ariel said in shock: "World Weaving?!"
Although Ariel is not a mage but a storm priest, she is also a spellcaster. She knows very well what level of spell the world weaving spell is, and it truly has the power to move mountains and fill the sea.
Before, she only knew that Amber was a very powerful lich, but she didn't expect that he could cast spells that exceeded the limits of mortals.
Amberxiu looked at the golden throne that was shrinking again, but he didn't care too much. Compared with the previous consumption in the sea, the consumption of just expanding this land was not worth mentioning.
The problem with the alchemy factory needs to be solved quickly so that it can create continuous profits for him.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber said to Ariel: "Now, there should be enough area to build a factory. I hope the Kingdom of Raging Tide can cooperate with the modification."
Ariel quickly said, "Thank you, we will redesign it according to your request!"
Ariel didn't expect that the problem she had been worried about would be solved so quickly. She thought that this Ultraman master was quite easy to talk to, and she suddenly felt more confident about the future of the Angry Kingdom.
The location of the alchemy factory has been resolved, and the other details have been negotiated in advance by Withered Rose and Ariel. Amber came here to symbolically sign a magic contract.
Amberxiu will exchange food and weapons for the labor of the Angry Tide Kingdom, and is also willing to provide some basic training so that the workers of the Angry Tide Kingdom can master certain skills.
This seemed to be a cooperation that would benefit both parties, but Ariel didn't know that the so-called teaching technology of Amber was only for the technology of this dragon material factory.
Without this place, other people's alchemy factories would be of no use at all, because Amberxiu is the only one in the world who can obtain these materials.
As Ambershu's grain becomes the main import of the Angry Tide Kingdom, they will put more fishermen into the factories, and the grain of the Angry Tide Kingdom will be controlled by Ambershu.
By that time, Amberxiu will control the lifeblood of this kingdom.
This is a method of stealing a country, and no one in the Kingdom of Angry Tide can discover it.
Watching Ariel leave happily, Amber took Withered Rose and Melina back to their temporary apartment.
Withered Rose had already noticed the changes in Amber's Golden Throne, and asked with concern: "Did you and Talos break down?"
Amber shook his head and said, "Talos is quite easy to talk to."
The Storm Lord was just looking for some fun out of sheer boredom, and was a hundred times easier to talk to than the Kuo-Tao fish-man goddess. Amber simply told Withered Rose about his experience at sea, and also told Withered Rose and Melina about his plan to kidnap the goddess.
Melina heard this and screamed excitedly, "This is so exciting, kidnapping a goddess! Father, you are so awesome."
Withered Rose couldn't help but glare at Melina, and then said to Amber Xiu: "This plan is too outrageous! How could you kidnap a goddess?!"
Before, Amber Xiu had only used various information gaps to deceive the gods, and if he really took action, he could not hurt the gods at all.
"Don't worry, I won't do it myself. I'll just ask other gods for help." Amber Xiu said confidently.
But the Withered Rose said, "Can you always win when making a deal with the Lord of Hell?"
"Things have come to this point, I can only keep winning." When Amber said this, there was no reluctance or sigh, but he seemed extremely calm.
The situation is turbulent, and Amberxiu has already taken the lead in this world and possesses the power to influence the entire plane.
Then the next step is naturally to face the problem of gods, just like an apprentice must face more difficult problems after graduation.
There is no way out now, unless Amber is willing to give up everything and return to the days of poverty.
In this case, what is there to be afraid of? Amber drew a perfunctory magic circle, placed Melina, who was still in an excited state, in it, and began to chant the spell to summon Zariel.
Only this time, Zariel didn't seem to answer the call.
Amber Xiu asked curiously: "Huh? What's going on? Melina, you are no longer attracted to Zariel?"
Melina in the magic circle looked confused and she didn't know what was going on.
Amberxiu summoned again without giving up, and repeated it more than ten times before Zariel's projection appeared on the magic circle.
Zariel was the same as always, with wings of fire burning behind him, and his beautiful face was shattered, as if porcelain had been broken and glued together again.
Zariel raised his right hand, and the fire of hell burned fiercely in his palm. The Duke of Hell angrily said to Amber, "Damned lich, you dare to summon me? And you use such a perfunctory method! You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise I can give you the greatest punishment within my authority!"
Amber Xiu laughed and explained: "Sir Zariel, we are so familiar with each other, so let's skip this kind of formality!"
The so-called devil summoning ritual actually depends entirely on the other party's mood. Blood sacrifice, self-mutilation... these are just the devil's evil tastes, and are not necessary for summoning.
Just like when Ambershu summoned him, Zariel could sense it. Whether to respond or not depended entirely on his own thoughts. After being harassed a few times, he was still summoned.
Zariel was helpless in the face of this shameless lich and could only roar, "If you have any nonsense to say, say it now!"
Amber knew that Zariel's patience was not very good, so he said straight to the point: "Sir Zariel, I have a plan to kidnap the Kuo Tao fish goddess. I would like to ask for your help. I can pay soul coins as a hire fee."
"Kidnapping or something, what does it have to do with me..." Zariel was about to refuse, but suddenly his eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Who did you just say kidnapped?"
Amber said clearly: "I will tie up the Kuo-Toa fish-man goddess Bribodup and send her to the Lord of Storms."
Zariel was extremely shocked and said, "Lich, have you finally gone mad?"
