This lich needs more money

Amber gave the magic mirror away for free, and reminded Zariel carefully that he should be careful about the way to "negotiate" with Tiamat.

Zariel took the artifact of the god of alchemy and disappeared, as if he couldn't wait.

As soon as he returned to Hell, Zariel set out immediately and found Tiamat who was still sulking at home.

The Star Gate was gone, all the red dragons were dead, and only a few thousand Githyanki were left to survive. All plans failed.

"Damn lich!"

This is what Tiamat has been saying the most recently.

When Zariel appeared with a smile on his face, the five-headed dragon mother asked in confusion: "Your smile is full of malice and conspiracy. Have you found a mortal to play with?"

Ordinary people are not worthy of the Duke of Hell showing this expression, and Tiamat is a little interested.

"Yes, I just negotiated a deal, and I should be able to earn tens of millions of soul coins." Zariel said proudly.

Tiamat showed a shocked expression, ten million! This is not a small amount.

Souls are not worthless things like gold. How many souls can go to hell every year? How many devils in the whole hell are fighting for them? Isn't 10 million equal to the population of a small country?

"You are the one who was deceived?" Tiamat said without hesitation.

Who can come up with 10 million soul coins? The people of Ryan don't believe in the Lord of Dawn anymore. They want to take the citizens for collective blood sacrifice? This can't kill so many people.

Zariel said proudly: "Of course ordinary people can't come up with it, but what if it's that lich?"

Tiamat's golden pupils suddenly shone with light, that was anger turned into substance. He can't hear any news related to the lich now, unless it's the news of the lich's death.

Zariel tried to tempt Tiamat and said, "I know you have a bad relationship with him, so I came to you. Aren't you going to take revenge? Just like last time, we can harvest millions of sinners at one time, and we can also harvest a lot of soul coins."

Tiamat said, "I'm afraid you have been deceived by him. Do you really think we made a profit in the last transaction?"

The Unholy Hymn was originally in the pocket of the two Dukes of Hell. The fall of an entire kingdom would greatly enhance the reputation of the first layer of Hell, and the gains would be immeasurable.

As a result, under the little trick of the lich, this gain was greatly reduced.

Tiamat suffered the most, because the content of the transaction was that Amber helped to open the gate to the astral world. For this, He had to give Zariel a profit, so most of the benefits were swallowed by Zariel.

As a result, the astral invasion plan failed, and Tiamat really lost so much that he vomited blood.

"Anyway, I offered 10 million this time, and he agreed. Not only that, I also helped you negotiate the price. He is willing to compensate you with your Star Realm Red Dragons, 60 red dragons, 6 million soul coins, high-quality ones. How about it, I treat you well, right?"

"6 million?!"

Tiamat said angrily: "Do you know how much 60 red dragons are worth? How many years have I cultivated them in the Star Realm?!"

"But they are worthless after they die." Zariel taunted mercilessly: "You can at least earn some back now."

Tiamat was speechless by these words, but He was not so easy to fool.

"You would think of me for such a good thing?"

Although the two are temporarily allies, there is no real friendship between devils. Zariel not only hid such a good thing, but also specifically looked for himself. There must be something wrong.

"If I can handle it alone, I certainly don't mind making a profit alone, but this time, the lich's request is too outrageous. It's far from enough for me alone, even if you are included."

Tiamat frowned tightly. He really couldn't think of what other requests the lich could make that would embarrass Zariel

"He wants to kidnap Bribodup and give him to Talos."

Tiamat's expression was stunned, as if he had heard something incredible. After waiting for a long time, he finally said: "This lich has finally gone crazy? Does he know why the gods are gods?"

Zariel couldn't help but want to laugh. He thought so at the time, but there was no way. Amber gave too much.

"I didn't ask for the specific reason, but this is the best deal. Because he promised that he would solve the problem of locating Bribodup and solving Bribodup's chaotic field. We only need to capture Bribodup after he solves these problems. Doesn't it sound simple?"

The biggest problem in dealing with a god is these two.

The first is to lock the opponent's position and find a way to enter the gate of the kingdom of God. The second is to find a way to solve the influence of the kingdom of God on itself.

If both problems can be solved, it won't be difficult for Zariel and Tiamat to deal with Bribodup.

Tiamat asked: "Even if he can't do it, he still pays the commission?"

Zariel said: "Of course, otherwise why would I say it will be profitable? However, I brought you such a good deal, you have to give me half of your six million."

Tiamat said quickly: "Impossible, and six million is too little! The lich can create souls, and the cost is much lower than killing people. Why did you only ask for ten million?! If I ask, at least twenty million!"

"Then you can talk to him yourself." Zariel looked indifferent.

"I just want to be on the safe side and avoid any accidents. After all, Bribodup is also a goddess with medium divine power. If you don't want to, then I can do it alone. Of course, you can also talk to the lich in person, However, based on your relationship with the lich, how much do you think he will give you?"

Zariel looked convinced of Tiamat, but Tiamat said: "Zariel, we have known each other for a long time, and I know your personality very well. Those things just now were all taught by the lich. Right? Before you lie to someone next time, think about whether it is consistent with your usual habits.”

Zariel's expression froze, as if Tiamat had hit his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, now that you've discovered it, I won't hide it from you. It's because the lich thinks that I'm not powerful enough alone, so he must If he pulls you, maybe he wants to trick you again. "

"What's the real price?" Tiamat asked.

Zarrell said coldly: "Eight million for each person, I will count your two million on myself."

"That's it?" Tiamat was a little doubtful: "Isn't the virtual soul created casually? He should be more generous."

Zarrell was helpless and explained: "This is his monopoly business, and he refused to let go. He said he was worried that the soul currency in hell would depreciate, and we would lose more by then. I didn't understand this either, so I said But him."

Tiamat said angrily: "This damn lich! He's just a counterfeiter!"

"Yes, a counterfeiter is too arrogant, but we don't have a choice, do we?"

"Can he really solve the influence of the Kingdom of God on us?" Tiamat asked: "If we can't do this, everything is meaningless."

"We can't do any better. We can just collect the money. We don't have to do any work at all, and we can still watch his jokes. I'm really looking forward to breaking the agreement with Talos. What kind of punishment will this lich receive? Velshalon back then But it has made the gods talk about it for many years.”

"Then what reason do I have to refuse?"

Tiamat looked at Zariel's waist and found that his sword was no longer there. It must have been given to the lich as a contract item.

Tiamat stretched out her hand and picked off a dragon scale from between her eyebrows.

"Give this to him and say that I agreed to this deal, but it's not eight million but ten million soul coins, not even one less."

Zarrell took the dragon scale, but couldn't help but said: "What if he doesn't agree with this counter-offer?"

Tiamat said firmly: "Then just think of it as a small gain. I would rather everyone lose together, and I can't let him have his way. Seeing the lich take advantage is more uncomfortable than me losing money! At this price , never give in."

Zarrell nodded and said, "You're right, I'll get a raise too! Ten million for each of us!"

Zariel took Tiamat's dragon scales and left. He didn't laugh loudly until he was sure to leave Tiamat's territory completely and carefully put the dragon scales away!

"Hahahaha! The lich offered me 20 million and gave Tiamat 60 million. Now I have made a net profit of 70 million! It's so cool. It turns out that cheating other people's money is such a fun thing! No wonder That lich likes doing business so much, this is simply a hearty battle!”

It was probably the first time in his life that Zarrell had done business so successfully, and he couldn't help but contact Amberxiu directly to show off his achievements.

When the dragon scale was delivered to Amber Xiu, Amber Xiu said to Zariel with a heartbroken look: "You are bargaining too hard. If Tiamat knew about it, he would definitely I'll hate you."

Zarrell said nonchalantly: "We are all living in hell. Does it matter who hates whom?"

"It still has an influence, right? Tiamat is your neighbor after all. If he finds out, he will always cause trouble to you."

Amberxiu's words made Zariel feel that something was wrong, and he said doubtfully: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to tell Tiamat? Don't forget, this is the method you taught me."

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "How could it be possible? I never do such boring double-agent business. We don't just do one transaction. We will have many places to cooperate in the future. Anyway, I will pay and give Is there any difference between you and Tiamat?"

Zariel frowned. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Could this lich have dug a hole and waited for him?

Amberxiu continued to maintain a polite smile, but said to Zarrell in a very serious tone: "Don't worry, I will pay the soul coins in full, but I don't know if you have thought about it, once a large number of soul coins start to circulate, Will Tiamat find out? After all, the difference between 70 million and 10 million is not that big."

Zariel asked, "What exactly do you mean?"

"What I mean is, don't spend these soul coins all at once. It will definitely cause serious inflation. It will not only devalue your original assets and attract the dissatisfaction of other hell princes, but also directly expose you to cheating. Tiamat.”

"If you don't have money, what's the difference between having nothing?!"

Zarrell absolutely cannot accept it. He is not a miser, and he cannot hide so much money. He has already planned how to spend this huge sum of money. It is impossible for him to hide it and not use it now.

"No, no, no, what I want to say is that 70 million soul coins is a huge sum of money that can shake the economy of the entire hell, so why don't you be a little bolder. Zariel, have you ever thought about taking control of the soul coin transactions of the entire hell? It is not difficult to quietly let this huge sum of money enter hell, but the difficulty lies in how to increase the influence of this money without letting other hell dukes know."

"What do you want to say?"

Zariel already felt a little dizzy. Can he spend it after going around for so long?

"What I want to say is that your hell dukes usually enclose their own land, so the use of soul coins is in a very primitive state. Of course, the main reason is that the number of soul coins is too scarce, and they are consumables, not substitute equivalents. But this situation will not last too long. I will continue to produce soul coins, which will definitely cause your hell's economy to be impacted.

"Zariel, have you ever thought that under this wave, you can do many big things.

"For example, establish the first soul coin bank in hell?"
