Versatile Mage: Dragon's Lair, Lord of the Dragon Clan!

Chapter 142 The Popularization of Black Magic: Only Capitalists Can Make Money
"I can popularize dark magic in China, allowing many young people to awaken dark magic in their first magic system. However, your repayment mechanism will indeed cause great harm to mages, so I hope your repayment can be delayed until these young mages have grown up," Lin Chen stated the contents of his deal.

Blood King frowned, a thoughtful expression appearing on his alluring face.

"It takes too long, and I'm not sure if this is a sure-fire way to make money."

"Don't worry, sister. With me here and the world in turmoil, a large number of young people will awaken dark magic. With such a large base, you'll definitely make a fortune. You can think of this as lending money," Lin Chen said with a smile.

However, even if that's the case, Lin Chen couldn't possibly not take any benefits.

Blood King also thought of this, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I can't imagine what good this will do you."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly, "My sister has been in the Dark Dimension for too long, so she may not understand our China. As long as we can stabilize the national situation, I can be a middleman who doesn't make a profit."

Lin Chen spoke with such righteous indignation that Blood King almost believed him.

In fact, Lin Chen had his own considerations. He didn't want to get involved in these black magic loan schemes to avoid being purged by Wen Tai later, but he wouldn't let go of the interests in the human world.

If you get the goods from Blood King, the Black Magic Guiding Stones within China can be provided at the original price, but if foreigners want them, they will have to buy them at several times the price.

Putting aside the money, the sheer number of people practicing dark magic alone would be enough to make Lin Chen a fortune.

Those who possess dark magic have a high probability of becoming undead after death, and these undead are stronger than those of other magic users.

If there are more humans in the world who possess dark magic, where will they go after they die and become undead?
Of course, it's about returning to the embrace of the Dragon King, the sole lord of the dead in the mortal realm.

After figuring out the implications, Blood King slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"I believe this could make me a fortune, but I need to see your capabilities, the capabilities that allow you to sit at the same table as me."

Hearing Blood King's words, Lin Chen was not surprised. This was normal. Only two parties with equal strength could have a fair trade; otherwise, it would be exploitation and oppression.

"Sister, how do you want to test me?" Lin Chen asked with a slight smile.

"I'll give you two choices. One, enter my back garden without bringing that person along to fight the dead within," Blood King said, pointing at Dragon Lord.

Lin Chen choked with sobs. The Blood King's back garden was full of her collection, with countless powerful individuals, the weakest of whom were at the forbidden spell level. Relying solely on herself and the other emperors, she would have a hard time even fighting ten of them. In the original story, more than sixty of them appeared at once.

"What about the second one?"

"Second, I'll give you a year to completely unify the undead in the human world. Don't forget, there are still many more undead in the sea. Although they are currently leaderless, their power is still considerable," said the Blood King.

"I choose the second one." Lin Chen accepted the task without hesitation.

If he had to choose option one, Lin Chen really didn't want to go unless he possessed max-level forbidden spells across all elements.

"I'm waiting for your good news..."

The voice of the Blood King grew increasingly ethereal, and his figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a small Blood Flower in his place.

Lin Chen picked up the Blood Radiance Flower, which was the medium through which he could communicate with the Blood Radiance King.

"Ugh……"

Lin Chen wore a bitter expression. The undead in the human world were not easy to fight either. Although their strength was not as good as Sha Yuan's, they had the shadow of a certain dark king behind them.

This Dark King is the one who played chess with Mo Fan and the others in the original work. His real name is Night King, and his strength ranks among the top of the Dark Kings.

In the side story, he had the idea of ​​bewitching the spirits of the seabed and using them as pawns for his amusement.

Although the relationship between the two may not be that deep yet, it is impossible for Blood King to give two options with different levels of difficulty.

It seems the other party wants to use the Night King to test their strength.

"Let's go back and prepare for war. We must annihilate the sea monsters before they arrive, so as to relieve the pressure on China," Lin Chen said to the Dragon King.

Compared to the first option, Lin Chen gained at least a year of development time. "Sir, won't you continue your stroll?" Joel asked cautiously.

"No need, Joel, but I need you to do me a favor," Lin Chen said with a smile, but Joel found that smile sinister no matter how he looked at it.

"Seriously, all that polite talk has gone wrong," Joel thought, wishing he could slap himself. Why did he have to be so rude? He could have just stayed out of sight and waited for this big shot to leave.

“Sir, please speak freely, I dare not disobey,” Joel said with a mournful face.

"I need you to help me capture as many dark creatures as possible. In return, I can let you secretly spread some of your dark magic among humans. Of course, it can't be used as loan sharking," Lin Chen said.

He needs more dark creatures for the Dragon Lord to devour; only when the Dragon Lord is stronger will he have more leverage.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Joel's sorrowful expression vanished, and he instantly perked up.

"My lord, is this, is this really true?"

"Of course it's true. For us, it doesn't matter whose dark magic guides us. As for how many slots there are, it depends on how many dark creatures you can capture."

Lin Chen smiled. He had already made up his mind. He would send the guiding stone containing Joel's legacy abroad. His business with Blood King was in China, so what did it have to do with foreign countries?

You don't really think that you, a Dark King, can take over all the businesses in the human world, do you?
If Blood King really thought that way, Lin Chen could only say she was too naive.

Even if the Blood King discovers his deal with Joel, he would at most kill Joel and give him a warning. As the Blood King's representative of dark magic on earth, Lin Chen would not be someone the Blood King could kill at will.

Putting aside their capabilities, the very importance of this matter makes Lin Chen's responsibility for outsourcing the business negligible.

Lin Chen had thought it through clearly. He was certain that he would make a profit no matter what, since he was just a middleman earning a small profit from the price difference.

Yes, some...

Lin Chen and Long Jun returned to the human world and left the underground cave.

"Let's get started. The undead in the sea are not easy to deal with; they've already colluded with the sea monsters," Lin Chen said.

Dragon Lord nodded, turned and returned to the Abyss of Fiends. He wanted to use countless undead resources to enhance the strength of his subordinates and to study how to fight at sea.

Undead do not suffocate in the sea, but they need to adapt to combat methods on the ocean beforehand.

Lin Chen returned to his office in Dingcheng, where a pile of things awaited his approval.

...Holy City

The conference room was empty.

Archangel Raphael looked at the few empty seats and said calmly, "It's time for the archangels to return."

The high-ranking officials of the Holy City exchanged glances, wondering, "Has any emperor recently emerged who is bringing calamity to the world?"

"No, it's an even more terrifying existence."

"Who?"

"China, Lin Chen," Raphael said, his voice filled with murderous intent.

A high-ranking official of the Holy City frowned. "But Lin Chen hasn't harmed anyone yet. He even killed Cardinal Leng Jue and captured Salang..."

"That's why we have to kill him. No one but the Holy City can capture the Cardinal, do you understand?" Raphael said coldly.

Of course, there was a deeper reason besides that, Raphael recalled the intelligence from the secret agent.

At the Parthenon, Lin Chen summoned an Emperor, and a very powerful one at that…
