Chapter 4 [The Great Sin of Greed]



The solution is also recorded in the diary.

Beatrice took Louis to deal with this matter.

At that time, Beatrice recruited a large number of slimes to deal with the city's domestic garbage first. A famous businessman discovered that his slime could easily deal with the garbage contaminated by experimental waste, so he volunteered.

It is said that the slime was a rare slime that he bought in the second-hand trade market in the imperial capital a few months ago. It had been left in an unnoticed corner for several years and had not been sold.

No one would have thought that the slimes, which were only used by novice adventurers for training, had the ability to digest magical waste in their special individuals.

This slime even underwent a transformation during the pollution process, splitting into more special individuals.

With the help of these special individuals, this merchant's chamber of commerce grew further and quickly became a new elite among the imperial capital's wealthy merchants.

It is worth mentioning that when the city of Tino was attacked by the revolutionary army, this businessman, who had risen to prominence with the support of the Enther Empire, was the first person to take the initiative to open the door and serve as a guide for the revolutionary army.

"What? This guy is responsible for my confusion?"

What else is there to say?

Disc him!

I'll take your slime! ...

【Location: Tino City, Office of the Chancellor of the Seal】

Louis looked at his nominal wife Beatrice somewhat embarrassedly.

She sat upright on the chair, her slender long legs crossed, her hands on her chest, playful and imposing:

"You want to go to the second-hand market?"

Louis' eyes were involuntarily drawn to the pair of slender, white legs, which extended from the black high heels to the jade feet under the skirt, forming a perfect curve.

But he quickly shifted his gaze.

He did not forget that this "first wife" was not his real wife.

“Does it look good?”

Louis was about to say that he didn't see it, but when he saw her provocative and threatening look, he said:

"It looks good and protects the eyes."

"Then sit down and watch."

Louis gave up and said, "No, Your Highness. I am just an unlucky guy who survived the experiment in the White Tower. I just want to live a good life."

He didn't really think that he had an agreement with Beatrice, and that he was equal to her.

He needs to stay sober and restrained.

So he took another look.

He felt like crying but had no tears. Damn it, the side effects of Bai Ta's experiment were too serious.

Beatrice opened her folding fan, hid her smile, and said in a devilish tone:

"Just watch it if you are allowed to. Don't hold back."

Louis scratched his head.

Doesn't it look like a test?

From a wizard's test subject whose human rights could not be guaranteed, to a prince of the empire, although it was only in name only, this change was too outrageous...

It was like NM's dream! He thought about it all night last night but still couldn't figure out what advantages he had other than a good-looking face that made her choose him.

As the first princess of this ancient empire, Beatrice has too many suitors.

There are descendants of important officials of the empire.

The eldest son of a prominent family whose academic heritage is older than the empire.

There is a son of a top chamber of commerce that is well-known in the mainland.

There are even many heirs from other races besides the human race who come to the empire to visit and study abroad.

She didn't like any of the top candidates, but when she was inspecting the White Tower Mage, she fell in love with him at first sight because he was an abandoned experimental subject.

It's really confusing.

“Your process is still ongoing, and the allowance will be delivered to you in two days along with the prince’s necessities.

I'll give you as much as you need."

Louis recalled the regular price of slime on the market and held up three fingers:

"30."

Beatrice nodded. "30 gold coins? Leila, take some money from my private vault."

"Wait, it's 30 silver."

Beatrice tilted her head and looked at the lady-in-waiting next to her: "Take more gold coins."

The female official bowed and left.

Louis: ??? He wanted to refuse, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a strong reluctance flashed through his heart.

"It's just 30 gold coins! Don't ask for more money, or you won't have that much money!"

An almost irrepressible sense of regret filled his heart.

Fortunately, Louis had a strong will and suppressed it, saying again with regret: "Actually it's 30 silver coins."

He was a little embarrassed.

This sudden greed always made him feel like the guillotine was clanging one step closer to him.

His alarm bells went off.

Never owe debts!

He must overcome the physical effects of the White Tower experiments.

So he added: "I will pay it back after I get my salary."

In fact, if he didn't want to keep the budget loose, he wouldn't even need 30 silver coins.

After all, slime is garbage.

Challenge level 1 monsters.

The reason why it is level 1 is because the lowest level is only level 1.

It's enough to bully minors. No matter how rare it is, 10 silver coins is the maximum it can be worth.

Beatrice was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be too restrained, you are the only successful case of the great sin experiment.

If you want to awaken the power of greed, you need to learn to release your greed."

Louis shook his head and said, "Uncontrolled greed will lead to destruction. My greed for money...is not as serious as you think. I can still hold it in."

[Capitalist Sin: Greed]

That's why he's so mad now.

This is the final product that the White Tower Experiment hopes to achieve.

Mages are a group of seekers who are tirelessly exploring the origin of the world. They dare to spy on the power of gods and will not let go of the power of demons.

"The demons of the Abyss are able to advance through the bloody battles of the Abyss, relying on the power of sin that flows in their own origins."

This is the conclusion reached by the White Tower mages.

arrogant.

envy.

fury.

Lazy.

greedy.

Gluttony.

Lust.

The powers of the seven deadly sins conquered, devoured, and expanded each other in the bloody battle in the abyss.

The number of demon deaths caused by each bloody battle in the abyss is even comparable to the population of a medium-sized country.

However, the demons who survive the fusion of the seven deadly sins will also activate the power of the sins and their strength will grow explosively.

Adhering to this philosophy, the White Tower mages started the [Big Sin] experiment.

Later, the mages discovered that the mixed and superimposed power of sin was extremely unstable and even more difficult to absorb when it was out of the control of the abyss.

In the end, the mages decided to lower the difficulty first.

They killed more than 100,000 demons and used special means to collect the conceptual fragments of [Sin: Greed].

At the same time, in order to further improve stability, the mages transformed the experimental subjects into demon hybrids.

Louis' succubus bloodline also comes from this.

You know, there is no such thing as a male succubus in the abyss. Ordinary male demons will directly change their gender even if they choose to advance into a succubus.

In a way, Louis' existence is...quite rare.

However, even with the demon blood test subjects, the White Tower still failed to achieve the results it expected.

Eventually, due to the high cost, the Enther royal family ordered a temporary termination of the experiment.

It is said to be temporarily terminated, but in fact it is shelved indefinitely.

Beatrice happened to be in the White Tower to learn about the progress of related magic experiments and met the original owner Louis.

She used some means to detect the potential hidden in Louis, and she happened to be really annoyed by those shameless second-generations recently, so she fished him out.

This matter is a secret known only to the two of them.

Just as Beatrice said, in order to activate [Sin: Greed], one needs to release the dark side of greed.

The original owner's operation was quite simple, with endless greed for wealth.

In his previous life, he was a must-have for street lamp pendants.

No, under the influence of the [Capitalist Sin: Greed], he was sent to the guillotine without a second thought.

Send! Whoever wants to release it can release it.

Anyway, I won’t do it! Just when this thought came to his mind, he seemed to hear the friction sound of the trapezoidal sword.

So he made an excuse and said, "With your help, I have become a Level 1 warrior. I have a plan on how to develop the power of greed.

Lady Beatrice, power without control is nothing, and you wouldn't want the person you've worked so hard to rescue to lose control."

Well, Louis's "having a certain plan" is the same as the author saying "a new book is being written".

Beatrice looked at him in surprise, then suddenly smiled: "I'm glad you know. I was really worried that you would not consider other aspects in order to quickly improve your strength.

If that’s the case, then you’re just a partner.”

"ah?"
