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 for humans.

Every time you read it, you will immediately die.

That is to say, it is unlikely that humans other than himself in this world can read its contents.

Therefore, no one will know that this is an ancient magic book that can summon an evil god.

The first page mainly teaches you how to use the sacrificial ritual to summon an ancient and powerful evil god from a higher dimension, who resides on the first layer of the abyss.

“Evil gods live in the abyss? And the abyss is divided into different levels?”

Licinius raised his eyebrows, picked up the pen and copied the contents of the book on the white paper beside the table,

“First of all, a large amount of alchemy materials are needed. For example, the scales of a fishman singer, the heart of a blood spider, a shining crystal ore, sky breath, the terra ore, and mercury containing the element of fire, and the soul of a sacrifice!”

Damn, what a waste of money!

Licinius saw at a glance that these things were quite rare alchemical materials.

The commoners may not be able to buy it with a lifetime of savings, they’d have to go to the Forbidden Lands to gamble with their lives.

And for most nobles, they would have to bleed a lot to get these things.

Compared with these alchemy materials, the soul of a sacrifice is the easiest to get.

Licinius himself can fulfil this role.

If it really doesn’t work, catching a few vicious criminals will make up for it.

Anyway, with Noren there, he can get as many of these people as he wants.

“Although it is troublesome, it’s imperative…”

Licinius rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.

To awaken as a Demon King, he has two paths in front of him.

The first is death, and the second is to bear eternal infamy.

In fact, the first point is easy to understand, as long as he finds a way to break his immortality. He has tried most of the conventional methods of death, but he failed every time without exception. And just today, he was killed by spiritual magic again, but he still failed.

This road still has to be tried, because this is a world of swords and magic.

There are many ways to die that he has not yet tried.

“If death is to complete a ritual, or to get rid of the shackles of humanity, then what is the purpose of carrying eternal infamy? Is it to collect enough negative emotions?” Licinius muttered to himself.

This thing is easy to handle, it is nothing more than non-stop doing evil things.

However, Licinius did not want to harm others just for this.

This is his bottom line.

And it is not only by doing evil things that you can bear eternal infamy.

“Actually, 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 process of history.”

Licinius tapped his finger on the table and muttered to himself, “In the original world, there were too many things like this. Because of one Cheng-Zhu philosophy, Mr. Zhu was first forgotten for thousands of years, and then he was famous for a hundred years, where he was about to regain reputation, but he soon bore infamy for thousands of years, stinking like a dead corpse, hehe.”

“There were a lot of things like this during the Three Kingdoms period. Marquis Wu, an extraordinary genius, was actually corrupted by someone who was just a civil servant in charge of logistics, and Zhou Yu was also corrupted by Romance into a small-minded villain.”

To bear the infamy of the ages, this kind of thing needs to be done step by step.

In contrast, it is much more difficult to die.

“Speaking of which, how could a group of thugs get this level of magic books? It seems that the ancient city of Hera isn’t simple. No wonder the two countries are fighting for it.” Licinius walked out of the bathroom. He put the magic book in his arms, anyway, whoever sees this thing will die, so he mustn’t lose it.

“Boom!”

The whole house trembled for a moment, and the floating ash rustled.

“Kyaaaa!!”

A young girl’s screams came from the bathroom downstairs, which gradually subsided after a few seconds.

The house of Licinius and Noren in Loma City has only two floors in total.

On the first floor is the living room, kitchen, and a bathroom.

On the second floor there is only one bedroom and a matching bathroom.

It’s simple, but cosy.

It isn’t lonely with just two people, as there were some cute little animals to accompany them.

“Noren, did you encounter cockroaches again?”

Licinius went downstairs calmly, as if he had become accustomed to this.

The bathroom door opened, and mist poured out.

Noren’s long platinum-blond hair led loose on her back, still a bit wet. She was wrapped in a thin bath towel, walking out expressionlessly,

“Yes, young master, the enemies have been annihilated, please rest assured.”

The next moment, she instantly disappeared from her spot.

When the girl reappeared, she had changed into a furry rabbit pyjamas, and sat calmly on the sofa drinking coffee, as if the one who screamed just now was not her.

“Compared to the capital, this Loma City is really not a place for people. There are actually cockroaches bigger than a human face laying around. If it weren’t for that old bastard of a father of mine, I would never come here.”

Sitting across from her, Licinius asked, “How are our finances going?”

Noren tilted her head, her fair and delicate face still had no expression, “Well, it’s not good. Because of the two new stores we opened in Ferrol City next to us, we don’t have much cash in our hands anymore. Moreover, the last few stores are still losing money because of the war.”

After Licinius left the capital, he started a business with the little money he had saved.

In fact, he himself does not have much need for money.

But Noren needs it.

Warlock is a very expensive profession.

The cost of raising a wife since childhood has cost him a huge sum of money over the years. Hence, he has great requirements for money.

However, although Licinius has modern earth thinking, he hardly knows anything about doing business.

Therefore, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones and start a luxury business first.

Whether it is another world or on earth, women’s money is always the most profitable.

Diamond, a broken stone composed of a single carbon element, as long as you market it well and let it symbolise the purity and loyalty of love, a large number of women will flock to it, but in the end, men will pay the bill.

Other examples are necklaces, bracelets, purses, stockings, high heels and so on.

Crazy harvest of the IQ tax of people in other worlds.

Unfortunately, because the starting capital is insufficient, the store is small, and it will take a long time to expand step by step. Recently, it happened to get caught in a time of war. Although the aristocratic class did not miss out on their entertainment, they were still more or less affected, and their business is gradually starting to fade away.

“In that case, we can actually consider a timely transformation.” Licinius said.

In times of war, the value of luxury goods is bound to plummet.

But at the same time they can also transform and design things like military emblems, military uniforms, swords and shields.

He still has paths to earn money.

“Young master, are you sure?” Noren asked.

The young master has mentioned this suggestion more than once, but he has not had time to implement it.

“Well, sure. Only by quickly accumulating resources can we return to the capital and get back what belongs to us.”

Licinius looked at the newspaper on the table and narrowed his eyes.

“Her Majesty the Empress oversees the battle in person, and has been engaged in a charring battle with the enemy for months, so there may be a truce!”

“An unknown explosion occurred in Cuxhaven, thousands of people were injured, and 400 people died on the spot. The Holy See dispatched priests to support and rescue, and claimed that this was a punishment from the gods after being offended.”

“The riots in the Brentania Empire continued, and the northern regions suffered from drought and food shortages for years. The sorcerer under the Archduke Joachim predicted the omen of the country’s demise, and committed suicide in the early hours of yesterday!”

“Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? What will the Empress say about this?”

“Let’s wait and see!”

This is the Brentania Evening News, as of yesterday’s paper.

According to Licinius’s judgement on the situation, the unrest in Brentania will not end with the border war.

Under internal and external troubles, chaos will inevitably occur.

“It’s really not easy for our empress…”

Licinius shrugged helplessly, snatched the coffee that the girl was moving to her mouth, and drank it with his head up.

Noren: “…”

“Yeah, Noren tastes really good.”

Licinius touched her head, “Be a good girl and go wait in bed, I’ll be back later.”

Noren did not object to his head-patting, but asked suspiciously, “Young master, you’re not going to that big-breasted girl, are you? The character she showed you is completely opposite to her image in the academy.”

It’s not that she’s jealous or something, but there’s probably something wrong with that woman.

“Am I that kind of person? I’m just going out to relax.”

Licinius said solemnly.

Well, going to a female classmate’s house to relax is also a kind of relaxation..

What’s more, if there was truly a problem… wouldn’t it be better?
