The Magus Era Chapter 111 – Loan

Chapter 111: Loan

Tens of thousands feet underground, was a gigantic cavern, and tens of miles-wide lava-rivers that had been rapidly flowing across the cavern.

Over tens of thousands tall and strong n, who had slave-marks branded between their eyebrows, were standing beside those lava-rivers with their bodies bared, and scooping out scorching hot tal liquid from those lava-rivers with special, huge ladles.

The tal liquid, which was shining with eye-piercing lights, were ceaselessly flowing into a few gigantic slting furnaces that were located tens of miles away, along with so special tal channels. The odd-shaped furnaces were floating in the air. On the ground below the furnaces, were fire-holes with a radius of a few feet, from which, cyan fla-pillars that had been transford from the earth-fla, were coming from the deepest area of the earth’s core, and were spurting out of the ground. Those solid-like fla-pillars had been steadily holding those furnaces up in the air.

From ti to ti, spheres of alloy liquid that were mixed with a few different types of tal liquids according to a certain percentage, would fly out from the furnaces, heavily drop on forge tables far from the furnaces, while bringing up large amounts of fire sparks. Tens of thousands of forging tables were placed orderly in lines, and a few short yet especially strong and muscular n were standing beside each forging table.

All of these strong n were waving different-sized tal hamrs and quickly striking those alloy liquids on the forging tables alone with loud clangs, slowly forging the alloy liquid into the rough shapes of all kinds of weapons. Machetes, swords, arrows, crossbows, armours and shields...all kinds of large-scale tools and roughly shaped weapons would consequently be carried into the deeper area of the cavern and placed orderly in a series of small, honeycombs-like caves of groups of creatures that had short and small figures, and had been running around in the cavern.

This underground cavern was a gigantic arsenal. The fla and the furnaces, the great heat was ruling everything in this cavern.

Large groups of heavily ard Jia Clan warriors were walking around the cavern; once those hard-working slaves showed any slag or made any forbidden move, a horrible beating would be given to them, even worse, they would be thrown straight into the lava-rivers and burned alive.

Di Sha had changed into so casual clothes, and was guided by a short and small shaped creature, while frowningly walking into this huge cavern.

After walking along a spiral path on the cavern wall, under the constantly changing, weird light in the cavern, for quite a while, Di Sha and the guiding creature finally walked up to a square-shaped door in front of a small cave, which was located on top of the cavern. Two beautiful and elegant young girls smilingly pushed the door open for him, right after which, a gust of cold air puffed out of the door, making Di Sha, who was feeling extrely hot and dry, instantly quiver from the chill.

A weird chuckling sound ca from inside the small cave, followed by which, a small and sharp voice slowly said, “My honoured guest, co in please, just co in quickly, do not let the horribly hot air get inside here. Those damn slaves, the stinking sll of their bodies is killing .”

Di Sha walked into the small cave quickly. After a hundreds of zhangs long corridors, a broad and bright space showed up.

This was a well-designed room, which had a radius of hundreds of zhangs; all the decorations in the room were extrely exquisite and luxurious. The floor of the room was paved in thick furs of rare animals, beautiful and luxurious tapestry were hung on all four walls; there were no lights in the room, instead, thousands of different-sized luminous pearls had been inlaid in the ceiling; the snow-white light that emitted from those luminous pearls had been enlightening the room brightly.

In the middle of the room, a fat, elderly man was standing behind an exquisitely crafted table that was made from red coral, with his legs crossed; the elderly man seemingly was quickly writing sothing in a thick account book.

Seeing Di Sha co, the elderly man put the pen down and closed the account book, smilingly thrust his hand out towards Di Sha; in the anwhile, he started talking.

“Di Sha, Di Sha, ah, I rember the last ti I saw you was over five-hundred and thirty years ago, at your grandfather’s birthday ceremony. Hm, I’ve heard that you have done pretty well during all these years, you kid, have earned a lot of money from ...look at those slaves down there, half of them were purchased from your Blood Fang, costing quite a fortune!”

When the elderly man said the few words ‘quite a fortune’, a greedy green light quickly flashed across his pupils; on his round and chubby face, five eyes wildly opened altogether.

Yu Clan’s clansn had three eyes, Jia Clan’s clansn had four eyes, and on the face of this elderly man were five eyes.

Apart from the pair of eyes that was similar positioned as those on ordinary people, and another pair of eyes was located under his eyebrows, and on the area below the middle of his eyebrows and above his nose, an erect eye that was over a ti bigger than the other four eyes was shining brightly.

Inside the elderly man’s erect eye, countless loomingly visible spell symbols were flashing and moving fast, forming into different spell symbol formations. From ti to ti, innurable complicated lines would appear in his erect eye, and form all kinds of odd-shaped weapons or tools alone with those spell-symbols.

“Master, I need so money,” Di Sha stood in front of the elderly man and ca straightly to the point, “I need a great sum of money that will be enough for to rebuild an even stronger Blood Fang, and hire a batch of elite Shadow Devil’s killers.

“Rebuild the Blood Fang?” said the elderly man while all his five pupils were flashing fast, then he laughed out aloud and continued, “a while ago, your brother was sent to the Blood Fang, wasn’t he? I have to say that Di Luo was very talented with won, but in other aspects, he was just too young.”

“You said you want to rebuild the Blood Fang, does it an the Blood Fang has been wiped out? Well, this kind of things are not rare in those wastelands, happens every year to those small families with bad luck, who are mainly doing the slave trading business,” said the elderly man while smilingly looking at Di Sha, who had a badly darkened face, “but, I never thought that this would happen to the Blood Fang, which belonged to the Di family, the most powerful branch family of the Di Shi family.”

Di Sha suddenly opened the erect between his eyebrows, within that eye, a gust of black smoke seemingly had been slowly rotating inside his pupils.

The light that emitted from the luminous pearls quickly dimd down as if all of the light had been absorbed by Di Sha’s erect eye, even the air inside the room had beco much cooler than before.

Along with a sizzling sounds, eight transparent silhouettes abruptly showed up beside the elderly man; following a series of small sounds that were made by powers clashing against each other, eight fully ard Yu Clan’s warriors quickly erged from the air, and shielded the elderly man behind.

Pausing for a second, Di Sha slowly closed the erect eye between his eyebrows.

The elderly man then smilingly waved his hand and said peacefully, “Don’t be nervous, I have always been getting along so well with the Di Shi family, therefore, I believe that General Di Sha won’t make , an old man, feel embarrassed. Well, unless from now on, the entire Di Sha family is willing to never get a single piece of top-quality weapon from my Xiu Clan, I think General Di Sha will definitely be nice to .”

Di Sha slightly bowed to the elderly man, showed apology for his impulsive movent to him, then said calmly, “I will make a pledge with the force that is now under my command, and all of our inco within the next one hundred years, to borrow the money I need from you.”

The elderly man stood up in excitent. His ten white, tender and delicate fingers, which were even finer and smoother than the fingers of a sixteen-year-old girl, started flickering rapidly; at the sa ti, he said with an excited tone, “All of the inco of the main force of the Blood Moon, for one hundred years? That is a huge amount of money, so, no matter how much you need, I’ll lend to you.”

Pausing for a second, the elderly man then took a vigilant glance at Di Sha and continued, “Although I have a pretty good relationship with the Di Sha family, after all, relationships and business are completely different; if you take nine from , you’ll have to give back fifteen, plus compound interest. These are the rules, we can never change the rules. Oh, and, from now on, all of the weapons and armours that your force need, you will have to buy from , this is also a rule, I believe you will understand.”

Remaining silent for a while, Di Sha nodded and said in a cold voice, “Deal! And master, I know that you’re pretty close to the Shadow Devil, please contact their leader for .”

The elderly man smiled and slightly puffed his chest out.

“Hm, the leader of the Shadow Devil, is . My dear General Di Sha, what kind of mission do you have for us?”

“Kill for !” Di Sha stared at the elderly man in shock for quite a long while, then said in a voice that filled with hatred.

“A Southern Wasteland little bastard, I want him to die in an incomparably miserable way.”
