Chapter 576 Life or Death
It is actually very simple to spread a message. Especially since Amber has a friend who is very good at writing stories.
Hecky Stone was captured by Ambersoo and asked to make up a story around the theme of "light two candles after dark, then recite a spell into the magic mirror to summon the omniscient devil."
It must be fascinating, so that people can't help but want to try this spell after watching it.
At first, Hecky Stone wanted to say, how can it be so easy to promote the spell, isn't it too difficult?
Later, Amberxiu gave him an idea and asked him to write the protagonist of the story as a down-and-out alchemist who could only be an apprentice because he failed the exam. It was not until he secretly watched his teacher chanting spells in front of the magic mirror in the middle of the night that he discovered that the teacher's knowledge was obtained through a deal with the devil.
Then the apprentice stole the magic mirror, and found that he could only ask it three questions. He then avoided being hunted by his teacher and used these three questions to reach the pinnacle of his life.
Amber said to Herky Stone: "The hero's name is Aladdin, and the devil's name is Smurf."
The dwarf vampire said that this Smurf sounded like a djinni from the elemental plane, and not like a devil at all.
Amber Xiu said that as long as the heroine is written to be sexy, it doesn't matter if the devil looks like a goblin.
Herky Stone approved and highly praised the design of these three questions, saying they were perfect for a tortuous and exciting story.
Perhaps inspired, Herky Stone wrote the story titled "Aladdin and the Magic Mirror" that night. Amber took a look at it and found it even more exciting than the original version he had seen.
"As expected of a bestseller!"
Amber Xiu sighed and asked Hecky Stone to contribute to the supplement of "Legendary Curse".
Alchemists are generally highly educated. They never miss an issue of the most authoritative publication, Legendary Magick. They will buy it even if they have to sell everything they have, otherwise they may not be able to keep up with the times. Imagine that someone else has already made what you have worked so hard on, which would be a waste of money and time.
The supplements are also what this group of people like to read, just as a diversion from the boring alchemical experiments. If this story can be published in the supplements, it will be quickly seen by all alchemists.
I had originally thought about spending money on publicity and promotion. Although this supplement is full of gossip stories, it is not so easy to get published. Who would have thought that as soon as the manuscript was sent over, the other side said it had been approved, and it would be on the front page of the next issue of the supplement. They also asked if there were any other stories of the same type, and they were willing to open a special column to serialize them.
Amberxiu didn't expect that "Aladdin and the Magic Mirror" would be so popular. After thinking about it, he decided to post this story in the Hell Magic Mirror System he created. Anyway, there were already a lot of novels in it, so he might even earn some royalties by posting this one.
If you do a careful calculation, the various long novels written by this guy have earned Amberxiu tens of thousands of soul coins.
As for Hecky Stone's share... there is no need for that. Hell collects soul fragments, which are useless to vampires. It is the same as not making any money. If there is no money, there is no need for a share.
It takes time for a story to develop, and Amber is very patient, so he can wait for that little bit of time.
After making clear arrangements for the Alchemy Association, Amber discussed the issue of relocation with Isabel.
As the conflict between the two families grew, Isabel became more and more targeted in the Alchemy Association.
Although she is young and promising, she bears the heavy mark of Amber Shu, and has repeatedly rejected Gustavo Flynn's recruitment. It can be said that Isabel has become a thorn in the eyes of many senior executives of the association.
This castle is still too close to the Dwarf King's capital. If any accident occurs, Isabel will be the first to bear the brunt.
Although there is a teleportation array prepared in the castle, it is not 100% safe. There are many ways to isolate the teleportation. When that time comes, Isabel may not even have the chance to teleport.
"You can go to the Gold Coin Island and Silver Coin Island overseas, or go directly to the Kingdom of Raging Tide. Anyway, now I'm letting you take charge of the alchemy factory. I don't have much energy to deal with these things. Take your brother with you, and let's go today. We'll leave this castle here. I don't think they will even steal my castle."
The only valuable thing in this broken castle is the collection of books, which can be moved away. The remaining materials are not worth much. Amber Xiu is no longer an ordinary rich man and no longer cares about these little things.
I guess the Alchemy Association doesn't think much of it either. As long as Isabel leaves, they won't demolish the castle.
However, when Isabel heard Amber Xiu mention her brother, she sighed and said, "Teacher, my brother has completely severed ties with me."
Amber Xiu said in surprise: "Is Raul crazy? He even gave up his life for you."
Isabel smiled bitterly and said, "I don't understand either."
The conflict between the brother and sister has been going on for a long time. The main reason is Amber Xiu's erratic whereabouts and the sometimes good and sometimes bad news about him, which put a lot of pressure on both the brother and sister.
Isabel withstood the pressure and stood wholeheartedly on Amber's side, remaining unshaken no matter what news she heard.
But Raul couldn't do that. He was originally a person who loved power. After tasting the sweetness of controlling power, he changed completely. When Amber brought bad news, Raul's first reaction was how to keep what he had.
The people from the Alchemy Association recruited Isabel through Raul, and this was the first fierce quarrel between the brother and sister.
After Isabel's explicit refusal, Raoul moved out of the castle. Later, Raoul made some money from the slave trade and married a vicious woman. Under the instigation of this woman, the relationship between the brother and sister became even worse.
When Amber heard about this, he reminded Isabel not to act like a helpless little girl and to use her status as an alchemy genius to deal with this kind of woman. But Isabel was not that kind of person after all, so the matter was left unresolved.
Later, Amber was confirmed dead in the battle with the dragon. Raul thought that Isabel had completely lost this supporter and would give up completely. Raul came to the castle again and had a heart-to-heart talk with Isabel, hoping that his sister would completely join the Alchemy Association.
However, Isabel once again refused and decided to help the Rose of Death protect Amberse's alchemy business and do her best to fight against Gustavo Fring.
The brother and sister quarreled fiercely again, and Isabel had to kick the brother out.
From that day on, the two of them completely fell out, and they never had any contact since then.
Amber Xiu frowned when he heard this. Raul was too narrow-minded after all. Perhaps in his eyes, the people in the Alchemy Association were already at the top of the world. But since he was dead, the dead master was no longer the master.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Isabelle, please leave first. I'll leave the affairs of the alchemy factory to you. As for your brother, for your sake, I'll give him one last chance to see if he can grasp it."
Isabel nodded. Although she was still a little worried about her brother, she knew very well that Amber had made his decision and it was not something she could object to.
This teacher usually seems easy to talk to, but when he makes up his mind, even gods cannot stop him.
Brother, I hope you can sober up.
Isabelle took Jaina, who didn't know what was going on, and started packing her luggage as quickly as possible, then left the castle through the teleportation array.
Just as Isabel disappeared from the teleportation array, the teleportation array of the castle flashed with light again, and a figure clad in black appeared on the teleportation array.
A mechanical sound came from the dark giant, and he walked heavily to the front of the magic mirror. A layer of silver-white liquid flowed out from the black heavy armor and gathered into another silver human figure.
The two strange monsters knelt respectfully before the magic mirror and said to Amber, "My Lord, Hastings (Hareth) obeys your command."
Hastings and Hares, nicknamed Big Black and Erha, were brothers who fought against each other and were transformed into undead by Amber. Although they had a grudge against each other, the two brothers found that following Amber was much more comfortable than before, and as Amber's status continued to rise, the two brothers saw a bright future.
This master is destined to be promoted to a god, and then I will benefit from it.
That is to say, the time it took for these two to transform into undead was not long, and their souls were strengthened by Ambersu during the transformation. Moreover, when Ambersu was not around, they both liked to sleep and condense the dark magic power, so their sanity has been maintained well, and at least they can think about gains and losses like a human being.
An Boxiu looked at the brothers and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been doing well during my absence."
Hastings's body has been fully upgraded. The core of this puppet was made by Amber, but the other parts can be replaced at will. Moreover, Amber made several advanced puppet bodies for himself at that time. Hastings's body has been fully upgraded now, and his combat power is incomparable.
Harris's mercury puppet is also different. Before, he was not very skilled in transformation, but now after turning into a human form, he is very lifelike. The dark magic power in his body is also on a completely different level. It seems that he has been very busy during this period.
I originally thought that these two guys might not be very useful, and I might need to borrow some undead from the Withered Rose to use them, but now it seems that the two of them should be enough.
"Go, bring that kid Raul to me."
Hastings asked, "Master, if there is resistance, do you need a guarantee?"
Amber Xiu said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether I live or die."
