Chapter 486 The Bargaining of the Goddess of Fortune

The first layer of hell has been quite lively lately.

Amber's first batch of soul coins, a total of 10 million, has been delivered to Zariel and Tiamat.

This is a product that Amberxiu has been busy developing in his private space for "several years".

All souls are set to various extreme emotions, such as bravery, resentment, desire, etc. But this is the only effect of extreme emotions. If you really put them into a skeleton, it will probably fall apart. After all, you have to cut costs.

Anyway, as long as the soul inside the coin is not liberated, there will be no problem on the surface.

Amber had already mentioned this to Zariel a long time ago, so he was not afraid that the devil archduke would find a reason to accuse him of breach of contract.

Zariel had no intention of digging a hole now, because he had been attracted by these soul coins. He had never seen so many soul coins piled together.

In Hell, souls are extremely valuable and have a wide range of uses.

The elite troops under Zariel are often equipped with Hell Engines, a device created with Hell Magic that can greatly enhance the power of the devil. This Hell Engine does not burn gasoline, but soul coins.

Many special species of devils even need to devour souls in order to survive, just like rations; if there is less, they will starve to death.

It can be said that souls in hell are not only hard currency, but also consumables.

Even though hell is connected to many planes, and souls are constantly falling here to be punished and tortured, the nine levels of hell, plus daily expenses, really make life very tight for all the devil lords.

Zariel and Tiamat looked at the tens of millions of soul coins neatly stacked together, and both devil dukes had the urge to kill each other and keep the wealth for themselves.

However, in the end, both of them held back.

This is only the first phase of the lich's investment. There will be more to come. There is no point in killing each other now.

Once the Soul Bank is opened, it will not be enough to rely on just one Devil Grand Duke. The military strength must be guaranteed.

Therefore, the two devil dukes suppressed their inner greed and began to build the soul bank.

In fact, it’s not that no devil has ever thought about building a bank. After all, there are goblin banks in the mortal world, and it is technically not difficult for the devils in hell to copy them. The real problem is that it is difficult to prepare the capital.

The consumption of souls was too great, and the Lord of Hell seemed to have calculated the consumption of all the devil lords, and controlled the number of soul coins to a level where no one would starve to death, but no one would be full.

In this case, even if you want to open a bank, you won’t be able to come up with the capital.

Other devils are not easy to fool. If you don’t have the ability to do so, no one will deposit money or lend money to your bank.

Now that we have the capital, what we lack is talent.

If you want to find talents in this area, you can only go to Minauros, the third level of hell.

The owner of this layer is called Mammon, an absolute miser and capitalist in hell. Perhaps because he had a forcibly broken up relationship with the daughter of the Lord of Hell, after the breakup, Mammon's life was only about accumulating wealth.

In the entire hell, Mammon has the most soul coins and the most goblin capitalist slaves.

These goblins carefully calculated Mammon's various expenses and carefully calculated various contracts for him, in order to make more mortals lose their souls in the contracts.

However, Hell is separated from other planes by a layer, so this behavior did not allow Mammon to gain an absolute overwhelming wealth advantage. He just had more money on hand than other lords of Hell.

Therefore, when Zariel took the soul coins to buy those goblin capitalists from Mammon, Mammon's first reaction was that this Zariel was fake.

When did this perverted militant become interested in the souls of capitalists?

But no matter who it was, the soul coins were not fake, so Mammon still sold the souls of those goblin capitalists to Zariel. However, Mammon also kept a watchful eye and secretly put his own mark on the souls of several goblin slaves so that he could monitor their actions at any time.

Then Mammon saw through these goblins a huge amount of soul coins that almost made his eyes pop out.

Mammon's first reaction was that the Soul Coin was fake. Zariel, that bitch, was actually making counterfeit coins! However, when He stuffed the Soul Coin into the Hell Engine, He found that the Soul Coin was of good quality and there was no problem at all.

"Where did Zariel get so many soul coins?! Did he swallow up the Tiefling Kingdom?! Was the so-called failure before fake?"

Mammon tried every possible way to find out, and finally, through his unremitting efforts, he learned the news that Zariel and Tiamat were planning to open a soul bank.

The bank wants to do business with all the Hell Lords, so it has to advertise it widely, so there is no way to hide it.

Mammon was panicking now.

Once this soul bank is established, he will no longer be the richest devil in hell.

Mammon came without thinking and asked to join the soul bank business.

However, both Tiamat and Zariel disagreed.

Although the two devil dukes of the first level of hell are not good at financial management, they also know how much money banks make, so why should they give a share to you, Mammon?

How could Mammon accept this? After losing his love, he had no other desires in life except making money. Not letting Him join would be tantamount to torturing Him, and that torture would drive Mammon's soul crazy.

Today, he came to discuss with these two again. Mammon would rather get a smaller share of the profits, but he must join the banking business no matter what.

Zariel and Tiamat were almost annoyed by Him and discussed whether they should just suppress Him with force. Anyway, Mammon could not defeat them together.

Finally, when the three lords of hell were about to fight to the death, Zariel's magic mirror lit up, and Wakoon, transformed into the god of alchemy, appeared on the mirror.

Wakin looked at the three lords of hell and knew what was happening with just a little sense.

All transactions and trades cannot escape the influence of the goddess of wealth, even those that have not yet been agreed upon.

"Oh, it seems I came at a bad time."

Zariel glared at Mammon who was tangled up in confusion, then said to the magic mirror: "God of Alchemy? What do you want from me?"

Although Zariel knew that the magic mirror was a product of the God of Alchemy, He usually contacted Amber. This damn God of Alchemy could open the magic mirror at will without His consent. Now that Mammon was still there, the situation was a bit awkward.

"I just came to remind you that the appointed time has come. Bribodup has fallen into a state of madness and weakness. It is time to solve His problem."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zariel was surprised. "It's been solved? How did you do it?"

To be honest, Zariel only wanted Amber's money, but he had no intention of fulfilling his duties. Kidnapping a goddess, who was hiding in his own kingdom, was a complete joke. Zariel originally wanted to urge Amber to pay all the soul coins so that he could make a lot of money in hell, and then there would be no more.

Are you kidding? If gods were that easy to deal with, the gods would have fought each other long ago.

Zariel himself couldn't deal with the Kuo-Toa goddess, so what could a mere mortal do? How could it be solved in such a short time?

Zariel didn't want to work for Amber, so he made an excuse: "Well, I'm a little busy recently, so maybe I need to postpone the date of the operation."

Mammon had already heard the problem and quickly said, "Is this how you want to cooperate? Although I don't know how you get so many soul coins, I can help with what Zariel is unwilling to do! I will charge the same fee as Him and I promise not to charge extra!"

Zariel gnashed his teeth in hatred. He could have gotten it for free, but Mammon was the one making trouble.

This is what Woking has been waiting for. Only with competition can there be room for bargaining.

Because of his fanatical pursuit of wealth, Mammon has been eager to express his intention, and Woking will naturally not let him go.

"Very good, then it seems the contract needs to be modified."

Waukeen's divine power seeped into the negotiation, and the three lords of hell were affected unknowingly.

Zariel didn't care about that and said quickly: "Don't listen to this guy's lies. He is the most greedy devil in hell. Cooperating with him is the stupidest choice."

Mammon said quickly, "But I have the best reputation! I never make excuses for the promises I made, unlike some demons who don't even have the most basic spirit of contract."

Tiamat said angrily: "This has nothing to do with you, idiot! We have agreed on a total of 20 million soul coins, and none of them belong to you. Don't even think about taking our money!"

Mammon immediately said frantically: "Ten million per person?! How can there be so much?! Damn it, Lord of Hell, I must join this deal, I must join, no one can stop me!"

Tiamat suddenly roared, and five ferocious dragon heads split out, ready to attack Mammon.

Zariel also drew his sword, looking like he was fighting two against one.

But at this moment, Waukeen said doubtfully, "Ten million per person? That's not right. I remember my students' total offer was eighty million gold coins, twenty million for Zariel and sixty million for Tiamat. Isn't that right?"

The five dragon heads that were about to spit fire suddenly froze and then all turned towards Zariel.

"Sixty million? When you first told me it was only six million!"

Zariel was stunned. He never expected that the God of Alchemy would reveal the real price at this time! Damn it, the lich said that it would not be exposed... No, it was the God of Alchemy who said that it had nothing to do with the lich. He could not activate the contract to punish the lich! "Zariel! You lied to me!"

Tiamat pounced on Zariel in anger, and the five dragon heads began to spit flames crazily.

Zariel had to spread his wings and dodge everywhere. Tiamat in her crazy state was really hard to deal with.

The dragon's flame melted everything around it, and wherever it passed, the rocks instantly turned into magma. Tiamat looked like it was going to tear down this place, leaving Zariel, who was in the wrong, completely unable to fight back.

Woking looked at the chaotic scene and felt the long-lost feeling of being in control of the negotiations.

It’s wonderful! Bargaining in business is always so pleasant, but it’s a pity that the opponent is too rude.

When the two hell lords were about to break the magic mirror, Wakin continued, "Since Zariel concealed the offer, the contract is terminated. Now it seems that we need to make a new offer. I think maybe we can hold a small auction. What do you three think?"
