This lich needs more money
Chapter 617: A fraudster with extensive connections
The furnace for forging souls hummed and spurted black smoke, looking like it was about to explode.
This machine was not old, but it was the first time that a clone of a god was crushed and stuffed into it as fuel. Perhaps the firewood thrown in was too fierce, and the furnace finally exploded completely under Bayer's gaze.
Harvey's body was wrapped in a ball of sacred light, slowly falling from the air, looking like a newly born god.
Bayer frowned, what is this?
A human demigod?
Did Xirik make such a big fuss to resurrect a demigod?
But no matter what it is, this is something he spent a lot of money to make, and it belongs to him.
Bayer stretched out his hand and wanted to grab Harvey.
Lock him up first, and then consider whether to dissect him or eat him directly. Anyway, some losses must be made up.
Bayer opened his huge palm, and a suction force appeared in his palm, trying to hold Harvey in his hand.
No matter what kind of demigod you are, the newborn kid has no ability to resist in front of a devil like Bayer.
Harvey closed his eyes, as if he was still in a coma, but at this moment, all of Bayer's movements became extremely slow in Harvey's perception.
Time seemed to be about to stop, only Harvey's soul was still lively.
But Harvey did nothing, he was just savoring the feeling of the flash of inspiration just now. When he was trapped in the web of fate, like a trapped insect, how did he get out of it?
On the surface, Harvey was motionless, but just when Bayer was about to grab him in his hand, a ray of light like a veil fell on Harvey's body, transformed into a goddess full of pity and glory and hugged Harvey in her arms.
This momentary phantom made Bayer's palm pause for a moment.
It's not that this phantom has any powerful defensive ability, it just makes Bayer confused.
Because Bayer couldn't feel any power from this phantom, as if it was simply something made up by light and shadow, it can be said that it has no effect at all.
"It's just an illusion. Xirik is playing tricks again!"
Bayer snorted coldly and continued to reach out. This time he wanted to crush Harvey completely and only keep the soul that caused him heavy losses.
However, at the moment when Bayer's palm exerted force, a blazing white flame fell from the sky, piercing through his palm directly and nailing his palm to the ground.
Bayer screamed, but the next second even his mouth was filled with flames.
The sword with the holy flame pierced through the back of his neck and nailed him to the seat.
"Hehe..."
Bayer made a shocked sound. In front of him, a beautiful six-winged angel appeared, and the flaming long sword came from the hand of this angel.
It was Zariel, but not the fragmented devil archduke, but Zariel in angel form.
When he broke into hell, he killed countless demons with these two swords burning with holy fire. Even many of the famous generals of the Blood River Fortress died under his sword.
He should be constantly being corroded by the laws of hell, so that he would always look like a fallen angel.
When did he become an angel again? ! Why didn't the laws of the first layer of hell stop him at all? !
Bayer couldn't understand it at all.
On the surface, Zariel was the master of the first layer of hell, but in reality, he was a prisoner of hell, a sinner who was tortured forever. The fragmented scar on his face was a sign that Zariel was constantly being tortured.
But at this moment, Zariel was pure and flawless, a perfect holy thing, and there was not a single flaw.
This was impossible, absolutely impossible!
Bayer originally thought that there was something wrong with the laws of hell that weakened the power that Zariel could control, but he never thought that Zariel was actually going to run away.
But why didn't Zariel, who had become an angel again, run away, and why did he appear here?
Bayer had no time to think about the answer, because the surging holy fire had already devoured Bayer's body and was burning his soul madly.
Bayer struggled frantically. Although the Holy Fire restrained the devil, Bayer would not be killed so easily.
The raging hellfire gushed out from Bayer's wound, and after colliding with the Holy Fire, there was an earth-shaking explosion. Bayer thought that Zariel would give in. As long as he was given a chance to regain his freedom, he could mobilize all the power of the Blood River Fortress to fight against this angel.
However, Zariel did not retreat at all, and did not even make any defense. He let the two energies explode in front of him, leaving countless scars on his holy body.
The golden blood flowed out, proving that Zariel was seriously injured, but Bayer also lost the chance to escape. The two Holy Fire swords had turned into a seal, completely trapping Bayer's body, and he could not break free in a short time.
Zariel sneaked up to grab the opportunity, and then used the injury as the price to forcibly seal Bayer.
When Zariel did all this, Harvey had just fallen to the ground, unscathed.
When Harvey opened his eyes, he met Zariel's golden eyes.
Zariel said: "Go tell your teacher that I saved you! I will also give him the authority of the first layer of hell, on the premise that he opens the passage to Heaven Mountain for me! Hurry, I don't have much time!"
After saying this, Zariel seemed to have turned into a statue, completely motionless.
Zariel needs to go all out to maintain the seal on Bayer, and from now on he cannot be distracted at all.
After Bayer discovered his problem, Zarrell knew that he didn't have much time left. No matter how cautious Bayer is, he will continue to test, and Bayer will soon discover all his plans.
Zarrell simply took the initiative.
While Bair was still arguing with Cyric, Zariel had already sneaked into the Blood River Fortress.
Thanks to his understanding of the Blood River Fortress and the various permissions he still had, Zariel's infiltration was silent. It wasn't until Cyric and Bayer turned against each other and Harvey exploded from the furnace that Zarrell finally found Bayer's flaw.
When Bayer was distracted, the sneak attack was successful and he was successfully sealed.
But the moment Zariel took action, he was completely transformed into the form of an angel, and could never go back to the past.
The laws of the first level of hell will soon begin to deal with him as an intruder, either by corroding him into a devil again, or by killing him directly.
If that's all it is, Zarrell is confident that he can survive for a few years.
But the problem is that hell not only has laws, but also countless devils.
Changes on the first level will soon attract the attention of other devil princes, and even the sleeping Lord of Hell will be awakened.
Once discovered by these demons, Zariel will have no hope.
The originally steady plan has been ruined, and Zariel now has only one hope left, and that is Ambrose.
Only Amber Xiu can immediately communicate with Heaven Mountain and open a passage for him to escape from hell.
Harvey was stunned for a moment after hearing Zarrell's voice. What is this?
Harvey really didn't know anything. His memory was still stuck in the moment when he drank tea with Cyric and then fell asleep.
Didn't I just take a nap? Why did I wake up and go to hell? In the blink of an eye, I met a powerful devil, and in the blink of an eye, I saw a holy angel.
In Harvey's vision, in just a few seconds, there were several major turning points in life.
Harvey, a usually peaceful young man, couldn't help but sigh: "Destiny, it's so fucking exciting!"
However, it was a sigh of relief, and Harvey reacted quickly.
No matter what is missing in the middle, the most important thing right now is to inform your teacher.
Harvey quickly looked around his body, trying to turn the magic mirror out, but found that he was naked and there was nothing there. If it weren't for the phantom-like gauze covering her body, she might really be naked.
Of course, Cyric would not let Harvey carry the magic mirror with him, otherwise what would happen if Amberxiu discovered it.
Right now, if Harvey wanted to notify his teacher, he had to find a magic mirror immediately. It couldn't be locked, it had to be accessible.
But this is hell. Harvey, a mere human being, will be torn into pieces by those demons just by taking two steps?
Harvey rubbed his chin, thinking about what to do.
Then, he saw the thin layer of gauze on his body, and Harvey quickly had the answer - there was nothing to do.
Because when this layer of gauze was put on his body, Harvey gained a special effect called "The Goddess of Destiny's Favor".
The specific principle is very complicated, and Harvey could write a paper that fills an entire bookshelf on it, but in a simple summary it is also very simple, that is - super lucky!
During the time this layer of gauze exists, Harvey doesn't need to do anything, and all the problems he encounters will be solved naturally.
This is the legendary favor that Harvey received after being promoted to legend.
Theoretically, even if hell were destroyed now, Harvey would somehow remain safe without so much as a scratch on his scalp.
Just now, Zarrell and Bayer's power impact was so powerful that most of the entire palace was broken into pieces. However, all the shock waves in Harvey's direction were blocked by Zarrell, and the tens of millions of broken rocks were not affected. Rubbed half of his hair.
And now, Harvey needs a magic mirror...
There were dense footsteps outside the palace. It was impossible for no one to notice such a big movement just now.
A group of heavily armed devils rushed in. It was obvious at first glance that they were all strong men. They were afraid that any one of them could crush Harvey to death if he stood up.
But they couldn't care less about Harvey, they were all attracted by the huge angel that exuded holy light.
Without a good brain, he subconsciously rushed towards Zariel, but as soon as he got close, he was ignited and his body quickly turned into ashes.
No one recognized him until he was killed. This angel was clearly their boss, Zariel.
The fallen angel suddenly turned into an angel and got into a fight with Archduke Beyer? This scene made these devils stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do at all.
At this moment of hesitation, bursts of screams rang out, and these demons began to kill each other.
The party that suddenly took action was very ruthless, aiming for the vital points, and they also had an absolute advantage in numbers.
In just a few seconds, the battle was over. Ten of the dozen devils who entered the door survived, and the others were all killed in one blow.
Harvey looked at the scene in confusion, completely unable to understand what was happening, until the surviving devils saw Harvey.
The leader raised his sword high, pointed at Harvey and said: "There is another one! Kill him quickly, don't let the news leak!"
Before Harvey could explain, the other devil said, "Wait, I know him, he is a student of the Deceiver."
"Fraudster?!"
As soon as this name appeared, all the devils took a breath and looked around in unison, fearing that they would be killed by a sudden trap in the next second.
Amber Xiu's reputation in hell is almost as good as the laws of hell, and just mentioning it makes people shudder.
The devil who recognized Harvey carefully avoided Zariel's holy light, came to Harvey's side and said, "Mr. Harvey, why are you in hell?"
Harvey looked at this giant devil who was several heads taller than him in confusion and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
"I'm Lorenkos. I have some friendship with your teacher. I used to be Ryan's paladin."
Harvey said in surprise: "Mr. Lorencos! I heard the teacher mentioned your name!"
Isn't this the legendary paladin who Amberxiu deceived into treason when he dealt with the iron-blooded general?
If it weren't for Lorenkos' help, Umbersheu wouldn't have been able to solve the big trouble at the Border of Unclean Ode. The iron-blooded general does not die, and the little dragon emperor does not need to lead the army to fight in person, so there is no further story.
But, what happened just now?
Lorenkos explained: "We are all iron guards loyal to Archduke Zariel..."
There is a very special group in the first level of hell, which are the knights who followed Zariel to invade hell.
Not every Hell Knight is a traitor. On the contrary, most Hell Knights die heroically or fight with Zariel until the end.
It is precisely because it is so tragic that some people become traitors, and the escape route is blocked to cover up their crimes of defection.
These loyal Hell Knights remain loyal to Zariel until death, even when he becomes a fallen angel.
Over countless years, Zariel dispersed these most loyal knights and placed them in various locations in Hell, while secretly developing and growing.
Lorenkos is a newcomer and he likes the concept of this Hell Knight. After his faith was shattered and he became a sinner, the only thing left for Lorenkos to use was his loyalty to Ryan.
Loyalty is a virtue, and the behavior style of Lorenkos, a former paladin, was also liked by this group of Hell Knights, and they quickly accepted this new member.
Zariel is now making a desperate move and has activated all the latent powers. The Hell Knight is Zariel's biggest trump card.
Lorenkos had never met Harvey, but he knew this man. After Amber's reputation spread, the people around him became the focus of attention, and Lorenkos had done special research on it.
Harvey also relayed what Zarrell had said before, and Lorenkos thrust the magic mirror into his hand without hesitation.
Harvey took the magic mirror and was still sighing in his heart. The blessing from the goddess of fate was so powerful. Everything he wished for could come true... No, even if he didn't want it, it could come true.
Even if it's a place Harvey didn't expect, fate will clearly arrange it for him.
After opening the magic mirror and contacting Amber Xiu, Harvey quickly told his teacher what had just happened.
Amberxiu's mouth opened wide after hearing this. The world is changing so fast. Even the prophecy mage can't predict such an outrageous future.
Although he was shocked, Amberxiu did not care about Zariel, who had only a few days to live, nor did he ask about the authority of the first level of hell. Instead, he asked Harvey with great concern: "Have you been promoted to legend?!"
Harvey nodded. This feeling was unmistakable. He had been promoted to a legend in a daze.
The previous premonition was correct. He returned to the teacher's castle and was promoted. But Harvey still doesn't understand why he can't tell others, but it's not very important. Anyway, the promotion was successful and everything went smoothly.
"What is your legendary favor?" Amberxiu asked.
The legendary favors of the prophecy mage are generally quite outrageous. Just like Amber Xiu's destiny weaving, the effect of this ability is also very heaven-defying. If Amber Xiu was not determined to be a scumbag, this ability would definitely surpass the Golden Throne.
"I will make it the blessing of the goddess of destiny..."
Harvey briefly explained the effect of this legendary favor, and Amberxiu couldn't help but ask: "So, what's the price?"
"There is no cost, and there is almost no consumption. I feel that I can maintain this state forever." Harvey said.
Amberxiu was not happy at all after hearing this. Instead, he reminded Harvey very solemnly: "Every prophecy mage's legendary favor is like this. It seems to be no consumption and no price, but any abuse of power will bring tragedy. You This legendary favor... I can't say, you have far surpassed me in this regard, but as your teacher, I still want to remind you that there is no ability that does not come without a price, even if you are really the one favored by the goddess of destiny. ”
Harvey nodded, he also understood this.
Just like a prophecy mage using his prophecy ability, it seems that he can use it at any time and predict the future without limit. However, if anyone dares to keep using this ability to live their lives, the results will definitely be very tragic. Over the years, Amberxiu's relatives and friends have died, separated, and even turned against each other one by one. He has been in poverty for most of his life. It was not until he decided to abandon his destiny that he began to reach the peak of his life.
But when he regained the power of destiny and used Destiny Weaving many times, Amberxiu's soul was shattered and fell into hell, with almost no chance of resurrection.
Now, Amberxiu has once again abandoned the power of destiny, and the Lord of Hell, Zariel, is about to give him the authority of the first level of hell.
This is the evil taste of the goddess of fate, and you have no place to reason.
Among the wailings I heard in the web of fate before, there should be many unlucky people who abused the power of fate. They didn't understand the price until the day they died.
But Harvey also has another feeling. If he continues to use this legendary ability, he may not be the unlucky one. It is likely that others will pay the price. Although it is just a feeling, the most important thing for the prophecy mage is the feeling.
The grace of the goddess of fate is this veil.
It has no effect in itself, but it is like anti-injury armor. Any bad behavior towards Harvey will be counterattacked, and the price will be paid by these enemies.
Of course, feeling is a feeling, and it still needs to be proven with real data. Harvey has just acquired this ability and cannot yet determine the specific method of action.
Harvey decided to continue to maintain the effects of this legendary ability until he left hell.
"Teacher, don't talk about this yet, look at Zariel..." Harvey asked Amberxiu to look at Zariel, who was exuding holy light. He was also curious about what choice his teacher would make.
Open a passage for Zariel to return to Heavenly Mountain and become the Archduke of Hell?
Or should he refuse Zariel's request and help Bayer lift the seal?
Both options are not disadvantageous for Amber Xiu. The ownership of the first level of hell is now in Amber Xiu's hands.
The magic mirror flew into the air and came to the angel-looking Zariel.
"Grand Duke Zariel, let's talk." Amberxiu said.
Zariel originally tried his best to seal Bayer, but when he sensed the approach of the magic mirror, his golden eyes finally turned to look in the direction of Amber Xiu.
Zarrell said: "There is no time to chat. Soon, other hells will sense the changes on the first floor, and their armies will rush directly into the first floor to kill or capture me. Even if I send all my subordinates to Go out and resist, and when Asmodeus wakes up, I will definitely die."
Amberxiu sighed and said: "Don't worry, I have made arrangements. I have contacted Mammon and Dispater just now. The second and third levels of hell will serve as barriers, and there will be no other Devil Archduke troops for the time being. Invasion of the first floor. As for the Lord of Hell, I sent a request to Ogma, and the Lord of Dawn and the God of Death also responded. Asmodeus should give these gods a face and give you enough time. Chat with me."
Zarrell listened and couldn't help but sigh: "The last time we met, you were just an insignificant mortal. In just a short time, a major event that could destroy the first level of hell was suppressed by you in just a few words. "
Amber Xiu smiled and said: "It's not my skill, I just have a wide network of people. Moreover, those high-ranking gods don't want the first level of hell to really become chaotic."
This was said modestly, but the people who heard it would not think so. Which mortal could have such a wide network of contacts? Zariel in the first level of hell wanted to rebel. The other two hell princes not only did not directly fight the rebellion but helped guard the gate. The Lord of Knowledge, the Lord of Morning, and the God of Death, whoever is not a famous and powerful god, have to give Amber a face to stop the Lord of Hell who may go crazy.
Everyone present felt the ability of this "fraudster". When he said before that he wanted to end the bloody war, many people regarded it as a joke. Now it seems that this is not a joke. If these gods join forces, it may not be impossible to end the bloody war.
Amberxiu continued to say to Zarrell: "Let Bayer go. There is some trouble over at Blood River Fortress and he needs to deal with it."
Zariel didn't waste any more words and untied the seal on Bayer. The seal turned into the holy fire sword and returned to Zariel's hand.
Bayer had just been freed, but he didn't take action against Zariel.
He has heard what Amber Xiu said just now. Today's matter is no longer a personal grudge between him and Zarrell, but a major matter that concerns many gods, concerning the ownership of the first level of hell.
Bayer snorted, and the wounds on his body healed quickly, and he soon regained the ability to speak.
"I think I'm qualified to sit here and negotiate," Bayer said.
Amberxiu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my relatives caused a little trouble. I'm afraid the devil will launch a counterattack soon."
Bayer frowned and asked, "Are your descendants those mercury slimes? What did they do?"
Amberxiu explained: "They accidentally caught a demon with a special identity... You can find out the specific situation yourself. Bayer, do your duty first, I can only make the Lord of Hell wake up. After that, Zariel will not be crushed to death for the time being, but that doesn’t include you.”
Bayer wished he could kill this arrogant bastard Amber Xiu with one sword. A mere mortal dared to speak to him in such a tone, but now...
"snort!"
Bayer snorted angrily, then turned and left the palace.
The Blood River battlefield is indeed the most important. If something goes wrong, even if he gets the power of the first level of hell, it will be useless. The Lord of Hell will slap him to death and then take back this power.
Bayer left, and everyone else in the palace also walked out of the palace knowingly, leaving only Amberxiu and Zariel in angel form.
Looking at the holy and beautiful face in front of him, Amberxiu sighed and said, "Zariel, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your wish to come true."
