Licinius opened the first page of the magic book with great anticipation.
boom!
In just a moment, those mottled, ancient words seemed to come alive.
The long night falls, the blood moon burns, the gray fog obscures the sky, and the wall of flesh and blood howls as it devours countless corpses!
At the same time, a faint hoarse murmur rang in his ears, as if countless dead souls gathered together and whispered, flowing to every corner of the world, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and crazy, his blood vessels bulged all over his body, and his face looked hideous.
The next moment, his eye sockets bulged, his eyeballs turned white, and he let out a silent roar.
he died…
But almost at the same time, Licinius suddenly straightened up and his eyes returned to normal.
“Hoo, hoo.”
Licinius gasped for breath. Just a moment ago, he experienced the feeling of death again, as if he had a nightmare.
But this time things are a little different.
He didn't even know how he died. It was an indescribable way of death!
However, after experiencing that moment just now, he also figured out what this magic book was.
A magic book that records how to offer sacrifices and summon gods!
Of course, such an evil and weird thing definitely does not summon a real god.
But... the evil god!
This book itself cannot kill him, but the rituals recorded in it may be able to!
Chapter 7 Are you going to find another woman
Licinius picked up the decayed magic book again and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, this magic book is not intended for humans.
Every time you read it, you die first.
In other words, it is unlikely that anyone other than him in this world can read its contents.
Therefore, no one would know that this is an ancient magic book that summons evil gods.
Judging from the first page he read, the content mainly teaches you how to use the sacrificial ritual to summon an ancient and powerful evil god from a higher dimension, who is located in the first layer of the abyss.
"The evil god lives in the abyss? And the abyss is divided into different levels?"
Licinius raised his eyebrows, picked up a pen and copied the contents of the book onto the white paper beside the table: "First, a large amount of alchemical materials are needed. Such as the scales of the merman singer, the heart of the blood spider, the shining crystal ore, the breath of the sky, the Terra ore, and the mercury containing the element of fire, as well as the soul of the sacrificer!"
Damn, what a waste of money!
Licinius could tell at a glance that these things were quite rare alchemical materials.
The common people may not be able to buy it even if they save money for their entire lives, and can only work hard in forbidden areas.
For most nobles, getting these things would cost a lot of money.
Compared to these alchemical materials, the soul of the sacrificer is the easiest to deal with.
Licinius himself could do it.
If that doesn't work, just catch a few extremely vicious criminals to make up the numbers.
Anyway, with Noren here, we can have as many people like this as we want.
"It's troublesome, but it's imperative..."
Li Xini rubbed his brow and felt a headache.
If you want to awaken and become a demon king, you must go through two paths.
The first is death, the second is bearing eternal infamy.
In fact, the first point is easy to understand. He just needs to find a way to break his immortal body. He has tried most of the conventional ways to die, but all of them failed. And just today, he was killed by mental magic again, but it still didn't work.
We must continue to try this path because this is a world of swords and magic.
There are many ways to die that he has not tried yet.
"If death is to complete a ritual, or to get rid of the shackles of humanity, then what is the purpose of bearing the eternal infamy? To collect enough negative emotions?" Licinius murmured to himself.
This thing is easy to deal with. All you have to do is keep doing evil things.
However, Licinius did not want to harm others for this reason.
This is his bottom line.
And it is not only those who do evil things that will bear eternal infamy.
"In fact, it's okay to take the blame for others! But first I need to be in a high position and have a high enough reputation, and then I need to find an opportunity in the course of history."
Li Xini tapped the table with his fingers and muttered to himself, "There were too many such things in the old world. Because of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, Mr. Zhu was first infamous for all eternity, then became famous again, and finally hundreds of years later he was dragged out again and infamous again, haha."
"There were many such cases during the Three Kingdoms period. Wu Hou, a rare genius, was criticized as a civilian official in charge of logistics, and Zhou Yu was also criticized as a narrow-minded villain in the novel."
If you want to bear eternal infamy, you need to do it step by step.
In comparison, death is more difficult.
"Come to think of it, how could a group of thugs get a magic book of this level? It seems that the people in the ancient city of Hera are not simple either. No wonder the two countries fought each other to such an extent."
Li Xini walked out of the bathroom and put the magic book in his arms. After all, whoever looked at this thing would die, so as long as he didn't lose it, it would be fine.
boom!
The whole house shook for a moment, and the floating dust fell off.
A girl's scream was heard from the bathroom downstairs, and gradually subsided after a few seconds.
Licinius and Noren's house in Loma City has only two floors.
The first floor has a living room, kitchen and a bathroom.
There is only one bedroom on the second floor, and an accompanying bathroom.
Simple, but warm.
Living alone doesn't make it lonely because there are some cute little animals to keep them company.
"Noren, did you encounter cockroaches again?"
Li Xini went downstairs calmly, as if he was used to it.
The bathroom door opened and mist poured out.
Norn walked out with his wet platinum hair loose and wrapped in a thin bath towel, expressionless: "Yes, Master, the enemies have been wiped out by me, please rest assured."
The next moment, she disappeared from the spot.
When the girl appeared again, she had changed into a pair of furry bunny pajamas and was sitting calmly on the sofa drinking coffee, as if the person who screamed just now was not her.
"Compared to the capital, this Roma City is really not a place for people to stay. There are even cockroaches bigger than human faces. If it weren't for my father, that old man, no one would come here."
Licinius sat across from her and asked, "How are our financial situations these days?"
Norn tilted his head, his fair and delicate face still expressionless: "Well, not so good. Because we opened two new stores in the neighboring city of Ferrol, we don't have much cash left. The last few stores are still losing money because of the war."
After Licinius left the royal capital, he used the little money he had saved to start a business.
In fact, he himself didn't really need money.
But Noren needs it.
Warlock is a very expensive profession.
The expenses of supporting my wife since she was a child has become a huge sum of money over the years, and it is absolutely impossible to live without money.
However, although Licinius had the thinking of an Earthling, he knew nothing about business.
Therefore, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones and start the luxury goods business first.
Whether in another world or on Earth, women's money is always the easiest to make.
Diamond, a broken stone made up of a single element of carbon, can attract a large number of women as long as you market it well and make it a symbol of the purity and loyalty of love. But in the end, it is men who pay the bill.
For example, necklaces, bracelets, handbags, stockings, high heels and so on.
Crazy harvesting of the IQ tax of people in the other world.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient initial capital, the store is not very large and it will take a long time to expand step by step.
Recently, it happened to be a time of war. Although the aristocracy would not be delayed in enjoying themselves, they would still be affected to some extent, and their business would gradually decline.
"In this case, we can actually consider timely transformation," said Li Xini.
In times of war, the value of luxury goods is bound to plummet.
But at the same time, they can also transform and design military emblems, uniforms, swords, shields and the like.
You can still make a lot of money.
"Master, are you sure?" Noren asked.
The young master has mentioned this suggestion more than once, but it has never been implemented.
"Yes, sure. Only by accumulating resources quickly can we return to the capital and take back what belongs to us."
Licinius looked at the newspaper on the table and narrowed his eyes.
"Her Majesty the Empress has personally supervised the battle and has been in a stalemate with the enemy for several months. The war may be about to end!"
"An unknown explosion occurred in Cuxhaven, injuring thousands of people and killing 400 people on the spot. The Vatican sent priests to provide assistance and claimed that this was a punishment from the gods who were angry."
"There have been constant riots in the Brentanian Empire, and the northern region has been suffering from drought and food shortages for years. The wizard under Archduke Joachim predicted the demise of the country and committed suicide in the early hours of yesterday morning!"
"Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? What will the Empress say about this?"
"Please wait and see!"
This is the Brentaia Evening News, up to yesterday's edition.
According to Licinius's assessment of the situation, the turmoil in Brentania would not end with the border war.
Under internal and external troubles, there will inevitably be great chaos.
"It's really not easy for our empress..."
Li Xini shrugged helplessly, snatched the coffee that the girl handed to his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.
Noren: “…”
"Yeah, Noren tastes really good."
Li Xini patted her head and said, "Go to bed and wait for me. I'll be back later."
Norn did not resist his head-patting move, but asked suspiciously: "Master, you are not going to look for that busty girl, are you? The personality she showed to you is completely opposite to her image in the academy."
It wasn't that she was jealous or anything, but there was probably something wrong with that woman.
"How could I be that kind of person? I just went out to relax." Li Xini said seriously.
Well, going to a female classmate’s house to relax is also a way to relax.
Besides, if there is any problem... wouldn't it be better
Chapter 8 The Empress's Test
The boy in the mirror has a tall and straight figure and an extraordinary bearing.
A black elegant dress.
An emblem that symbolizes noble status.
Carefully groomed silver hair.
A face as handsome as a sculpture.
"At this time, Norn should have fallen asleep, right?"
Li Xini straightened his clothes, confirmed that there was no movement on the second floor, and turned to go out.
The city of Loma was exceptionally quiet at night, with the streets and alleys deserted. It was said that this was because a riot had just occurred today and the garrison had strengthened its control over the city. In addition, the front-line troops stationed in the ancient city of Hera would arrive in the city early tomorrow morning, so the five-star good citizens also put away their thoughts of making trouble.
