Chapter 581 The So-called Emotional Value
In the distant hell, Amber looked at the proud Paruriel.
This lust demon was playing with the soul coin he had just obtained, and it seemed that he really couldn't let it go.
Amber had Paruriel act out the role to torture Gustavo Flynn mentally. The old man got no information and lost a useful assistant.
When it comes to playing with people's hearts, Parulil is still better. Amber could not force them to kill each other with just a few words, but this crazy woman could. This ability to directly sense other people's deep emotions is really too powerful. It can accurately grasp the fleeting psychological flaws and easily make people collapse.
"What's so special about this soul?"
In Amber Xiu's opinion, the young assistant's soul was just so-so, it could only be considered as basic quality, and it would not be noticeable at all in the bank.
But Parulil said, "You are not a devil at all. You don't understand the preciousness of this soul. The young man was ambitious and had a bright future. But when he needed courage the most, he chose the wrong side because he was afraid of death. The taste of despair and regret...hiss~ is really unforgettable. If you find Mammon and tell this story, the value of this soul coin can be increased hundreds of times.
"I told you before to give me Raoul's soul, but you didn't want to. His soul is also very special, much better than the one I have."
After Parulil decided to cooperate with Ambersu, she liked to talk to Ambersu about the past, what Ambersu had experienced after Parulil went to hell. Even if Ambersu didn't want to answer, it was useless because this crazy woman could directly sense Ambersu's emotional changes and then imagine what happened.
Unless Amberxiu hid in the mirror and completely ignored Parulil, the two of them were in a cooperative relationship now, and many things needed to be discussed face to face. Amberxiu was also tricked by this crazy woman.
But Amber was quite surprised that Parulil actually fell in love with Raul, an ordinary man.
"What's so special about Raul?"
In Amber's view, Raul was just an ordinary man obsessed with power. There were a lot of such people on the street. Which poor serf didn't have the ambition to become a superior person?
"You don't understand. Do you think this man turned against your student just for power? Would a man who grew up protecting his sister turn against his sister just because of ambition? He is just clinging to someone powerful. Clinging to the Alchemy Association is a powerful thing, but clinging to his own sister is not a powerful thing. He is just a small slave owner, it doesn't matter who he clings to. Why would he turn against her?"
Parulil's words made Ambershu fall into deep thought.
To be honest, he had never paid much attention to Raul's thoughts. He and Raul had known each other for a long time, but they had never had any serious communication. In Amberxiu's opinion, there was nothing worthy of attention about this man. But Parulil said that Raul had other secrets?
After thinking for a while, Amber Xiu finally said, "Are you trying to say that Raul can't accept the change of his identity? He was originally the head of the family and the protector, but in the blink of an eye, his sister no longer needs his protection."
"Yes, you are worthy of being the man who can kill me. Compared with other boring trash, you are much smarter."
Amber Xiu rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you for your appreciation."
"Have you seen many parents who treat their children as their pets, or elders, like this stupid man, who used to be the backbone of the family. But suddenly one day, the little thing he raised grew up, not only did he not have to feed it, but he could also give him benefits like alms.
"The kid has grown up so fast. How come I have become the one being controlled in the blink of an eye? I am not willing to accept this. It must be my bad luck. If I were given the same opportunity, I would definitely be the one who became successful.
"The child you once loved the most has become the enemy you have to defeat. How complex and delicate is this emotional transformation? If he dies at the hands of your student, and looks into his sister's eyes before dying, and recalls everything that happened when they were young... Tsk tsk, such a soul is more precious than any successful young man. After all, it's rare to find someone who values both affection and ambition."
Seeing the enjoyment on Parulil's face, Amber Xiu once again confirmed that his values were different from the devil's, and could only perfunctorily say: "I see, emotional value is also a value, right. But are you sure you are not just imagining it?"
Parulil heard the disdain in Amber's voice and said sarcastically, "You have always been so proud. Even though you are in such a miserable situation, you still look down on everyone."
But Amber Xiu said, "You are spreading rumors, right? I am such a humble person."
As a jerk who traveled through time and space with nothing, and lived a miserable life for so many years, most of the time he was half-starved and hunted by others, how could he be proud? Parulil continued to taunt, "If you were really humble, would you never fit in anywhere? When you were alive, which adventure group could you survive in? How many days could you last working for the lord? You became a lich after hundreds of years, and you transformed yourself, and you don't even have anyone to protect you.
"If it's not because you don't fit in with everyone, then why? Because you like someone?!"
If we were to say who Amber Xiu admired the most for her sharp tongue, it would be this crazy woman in front of him. Every word she said could poke into other people's hearts. Back then, Amber Xiu wanted to strangle her to death.
But now, Amber Xiu smiled and said, "I used to like one person, but now it's hard to be at peace. After all, I have a lover, students, friends, and a daughter. Unlike some people who have become quasi-gods and don't even have a believer."
Parulil narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully: "You think I will lack followers? I just don't want to associate with idiots. Look at those demons I brought back these days. Would I even look at them?"
During this period, Paruriel was not idle. She began to attack the surrounding lords according to her own plan.
Needless to say, Paruliel's abilities were such that she brought the lords of several territories to Melina without using a single soldier, making them swear allegiance and even sign contracts to offer their souls.
In a short period of time, the size of Melina's territory doubled again, and the originally crowded population returned to normal. Now she is beginning a comprehensive territory construction, which has temporarily alleviated the problem of insufficient resources.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Parulil said impatiently: "Can you ask your daughter to be more serious? Is she really your own child? I don't see that she has any ability to manage the territory."
Amber Xiu snorted coldly and retorted on the spot: "It is not your turn to point fingers at my daughter. Melina's talent is not in managing territory, but you still want to expand the territory for her? This is the fate you have always pursued. If you are not convinced, go and duel with the goddess of fate."
Paruli's expression immediately changed, and she looked as if she was gritting her teeth.
Fate is a taboo word for both Parulil and Ambersu, but their sensitive points are different. Ambersu is most annoyed when people say "it's destined", while Parulil hates it most when people say she "doesn't understand fate".
After successfully breaking the defense of this crazy woman, Amber Xiu decided to stop while he was ahead. He immediately changed the subject and said, "I will temporarily lend you the authority of the magic mirror. You can use the knowledge exchange function slowly. Our goal is to make the Alchemy Association collapse on its own. You can harvest some souls from it, but you can't ruin my plan."
"I really don't care about the souls of ordinary people, but you threw this matter to me, threw the territory's affairs to me, and even didn't interfere with Mammon's big business of the Hell Bank. What on earth have you been busy with recently?"
Paruliel stared into Amber's eyes, as if trying to see through his inner thoughts.
Amber smiled and said, "Of course it is a very important matter. I swear, it is closely related to our ending the bloody war."
Amber Xiu really didn't lie, because he was busy with something very important, the God of Alchemy was about to complete his promotion.
