Chapter 141 Li Yue's Five Disadvantages and Three Shortcomings
Li Yue let the three people go, and each of them took out a piece of parchment, and then began to cast spells and make magic contracts.
After more than ten minutes, Bamba was the first to complete the magic contract.
After Li Yue took over the magic contract, although he could not understand any of the symbols on the parchment, he was able to understand the contents of the contract.
This should be the effect of the magic contract. Li Yue carefully checked the magic contract. After finding no problem, he pressed his palm on the parchment.
The parchment immediately caught fire and soon burned to ashes.
Then Meguna and Gangkui also completed the magic contract.
After the three of them completed the contract, Li Yue took them to the top manor.
Li Yue placed the secret box in front of the three people and said, "Open the box."
The three of them immediately gathered around the secret box to study it.
At the beginning, the three were full of confidence, but as they studied more deeply, they found that the complexity of this secret box was far beyond their imagination.
After half an hour, the three of them looked at Li Yue with helplessness.
"Sir, this... this..."
"how?"
"Sir, to open this secret box, you need the horn of a black goat, the blood of a dragon, and the heart of a siren."
"This black goat you're talking about isn't just an ordinary black goat, right?"
"In the secret place, the black goat is also another name for the devil."
"So the blood of the evil dragon is dragon blood, right?"
"Yes, but not entirely. You have to kill a dragon that kills more than a thousand people. But in this era, dragons don't even exist, let alone dragons that kill more than a thousand people."
"So what is the Siren's Heart?"
"They are the Naga Sirens. There is a group of them living near an isolated island in the outer sea."
"I can get the blood of a dragon. Do you know where there are demons?"
Everyone was a little surprised. Are there still evil dragons in this world?
The key point is, Li Yue is so sure that he can get the blood of the evil dragon, so Li Yue can at least hurt this evil dragon, right?
"The Black Tower has been occupied by a powerful demon for many years."
"Where is the Black Tower?"
"It's a crack in time and space, a very special place, and it can also be understood as a fragment of hell."
Li Yue felt that the longer he communicated with this group of alchemists, the more he realized his own ignorance.
"What is the Hell Fragment again?"
"Sir, what do you think hell is like?"
"Just like what's described in 'The Divine Comedy,' it's shrouded in darkness, covered by countless lava and sulfur, and plagued by countless evil spirits and demons."
"To put it bluntly, 'The Divine Comedy' is just church propaganda. The real Hell was shattered countless years ago. Today, only a few fragments of Hell remain, clinging to our world, perhaps covering hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers. These fragments of Hell are what are known as rifts in space and time."
"The Black Tower is one of the fragments of Hell, and it's the largest, covering nearly 10,000 square kilometers. It has more than a dozen entrances, located in America and Europe. The ruler of the Black Tower is the great demon Koa, who commands an army of 100,000."
"Does it have to be the demon horn of that great demon Koya? Or will any demon be fine?"
"Koya is the only demon in the Black Tower. The others are creatures of Hell and do not belong to the demon category."
Li Yue found that his understanding of the world was too one-sided.
After just a brief exchange, Li Yue felt that his worldview had been reshaped.
"Boss, can you lend me some money?" Gang Kui rubbed his hands and looked at Li Yue embarrassedly.
"With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to get money, right?"
"Boss, you're from the East, so you should know what they call the Five Evils and Three Defects. We Westerners also have the Eight Disasters."
Li Yue was stunned for a moment. He actually knew this saying.
The so-called five evils and three deficiencies are widowerhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness and disability, while the three deficiencies are wealth, life and power.
When people in the Xuanmen sect practice magic, there will always be one of the five drawbacks and one of the three deficiencies.
Gang Kui continued, "Those of us in the secret society will definitely have at least one of these, so most of us will choose to lack money."
"Can I choose this myself?"
"It's better to say that it's an active choice than a self-selection. If you get one thing, you will definitely lose the other." Gang Kui was a little puzzled. Li Yue was a member of the Eastern Xuanmen. With his strength, he should not be unaware of these things.
It would be fine if Li Yue was just a beginner, but Li Yue's strength is not that of a beginner at all.
Even decades-old monsters may not be stronger than Li Yue.
Li Yue thought of himself. Was he also a member of the Xuanmen sect?
So what do I lack? I think I am lonely among the five vices, and among the three deficiencies, I lack power.
When I was young, both my parents died.
Moreover, even if he has money, he has no real power, which corresponds to one of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"Ten thousand dollars, I want to bring my family over to live with me."
"Is $10,000 enough? Do I need to lend you a little more?"
"Enough, enough." Gang Kui said hurriedly. Asking for too much would not be good for him.
The five disadvantages and three shortcomings are not static. Once you get too much money, you may lose other things.
"Okay, give me your card number and I'll transfer the money to you."
"Boss, leave the Heart of the Siren to me. I will get it to you within three months." After seeing the money, Gang Kui immediately expressed his loyalty to Li Yue.
"Where are you two?"
"Boss, I need as much money as possible."
"Me too," said Meguna and Bumrah.
Among the three things they lack, what they lack is not money, so they don’t care how much money they have.
"Aren't you short of money?"
"We are different from Gangkui. Although we are not rich, our income is not low. It is mainly because we refine secret medicine and magic props, which requires a lot of money."
"From now on, I will cover the cost of refining secret medicines and magic props. You can also give me any equipment you want to buy."
Bala and Meguna's eyes lit up. After all, in the past, it might take them one or two years to scrape together the money for a magic elixir, but now that they have Li Yue as their boss, they no longer need to worry about money.
The worry that he had originally felt about being forced to sign the magic contract had now faded a lot.
"I will buy three houses nearby, and you will live in these three houses from now on," said Li Yue.
The next day, Li Yue found Raymond and bought three more villas near the Top Manor.
Although these three villas are slightly inferior to the top manors, they are also luxury houses.
Among the three, only Gangkui has a family, so he chose the villa with the best location.
Bamba and Meguna chose the two largest and most secluded houses.
It's mainly because they are refining secret medicine or making magic props, which occasionally causes some noise. A more remote place can avoid prying eyes.
