Chapter 715: Temptation

There is no doubt that ancient myths and legends are always so mysterious and full of all kinds of unbelievable content, even in today's advanced technology, it still fascinates countless people.

In particular, those who are wealthy often do not hesitate to invest a lot of money to buy antiquities that they believe have mysterious powers, such as weapons used by certain historical celebrities, crowns, ornaments, and mummies, coffins, mysterious symbols in ancient Egyptian pyramids, and so on.

As for the representative relics of Christianity, the world's largest religion: the holy lance Longinus, the Shroud of Turin, the golden ark of the covenant, the holy grail, the holy foreskin, and the true cross, they were blown into omnipotence during the long dark Middle Ages, as if they could easily rule the earth as long as they obtained one of them.

But as one of the richest families in the world, John Chris Morgan knew that his family's ancestors had secretly collected many similar things, some of which are still preserved in the underground vaults of JPMorgan Chase Bank.

But interestingly, so far, these antiquities with many mysterious legends have not shown any supernatural abilities, at least not like Lu Li, who can create scorching flames with his hands and resurrect corpses that have been dead for many years.

But just as there is a famous description of human nature in psychology, that is, in everyone's subconscious, in fact, they want to be different, so they will compete cruelly with their own kind, using money, power, luxury life and enjoyment to make themselves higher than most people.

Obviously, John Chris Morgan, who has been raised as a proud son of heaven since childhood, has such a heart, and it is far stronger than the average person.

I saw that he hesitated slightly, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Lu, I know that this may be a bit presumptuous, but I still can't help but want to ask, do you have any treasures left over from the era of the gods in your hand now?

Lu Li could fully understand the other party's mood at the moment, in fact, his first contact with supernatural power was similar, so he replied with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Morgan......"

"Just call me John!"

"Well, John, you have to understand that these items with magical powers come at a certain price to use, and it can also be understood that they require some kind of qualification, and not just anyone can succeed. Lu Li quietly seduced the other party.

He was good at observing words and feelings, and almost immediately noticed that the eldest son of the Morgan family in front of him seemed to have an extraordinary interest in ancient and mysterious powers, and a fool would not take advantage of them.

"What do you mean? Do you have to be an alchemist to manipulate or use them?" John Chris Morgan greedily glanced at the blood of the Gordon Banshees in the crystal bottle.

The corners of Lu Li's mouth faintly crossed a slight arc, so he explained as difficult: "No, how can I describe it to you? According to the material theory of the ancient Greek world, the earth we live in is composed of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and in addition to a mysterious substance called the fifth element, which you can understand as magic, spiritual power, or some abstract concept, it cannot be seen, but it really exists in the body of every life, and the amount of this substance directly determines your qualifications......"

"I see!I think I understand......" John Chris Morgan nodded in realization. "Now that you know so much, is there a way to test someone's qualifications, like me?"

"Hahahaha, dear John, you're such a cunning fellow. But that's okay, I don't mind giving you a simple test. Come, bring this ring, if you can successfully activate it, it means that you have such qualifications, if not, then it means that you don't, and you can completely die. With that, Lu Li took off the ring of the ring snake and handed it to the other party.

As the number of magical items on his body became more and more powerful, the ring of the ring that only provided a small amount of protection had long lost its original role, even if it was given as a gift.

After all, whether it is the bracelet converted from the helmet of the god of war, or the Hephaestus glove with camouflage, it is far more powerful than it.

John Chris Morgan carefully took it and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and immediately put it on the little finger of his right hand, and asked excitedly, "What should I do next?"

"Concentrate and call on the ring's name, the Ring Snake, and see if it will answer you. Lu Li reminded with a smile.

"What a fitting name......

John Chris Morgan muttered something to himself, and soon began to concentrate on trying to activate the mysterious ring made of unknown materials.

However, he is obviously not an adventurer, and he doesn't even have the strong physical fitness of people from other worlds, just an ordinary earthling, maybe very, very rich, but he doesn't help him in the slightest for using magical items.

For a full minute, he maintained a constipated expression, and nothing happened.

Just as he was about to give up, the snakehead's eyes glowed black, and in the blink of an eye, his entire arm was wrapped.

The sudden change made the two guys in the living room who had never seen magic items stand up in surprise.

"Oh God! I ...... My hands! my hands have grown scales?" exclaimed John Chris Morgan as he tested the hardness of the scales with a fruit knife on the table.

As a result, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave a single scratch on it.

"This ring is called the Ring of the Serpent, and it has the ability to provide a certain level of protection for the entire arm, just as you can see. According to my tests, it was quite enough to withstand the penetration of a nine-millimeter bullet. How's that, isn't it interesting?" Lu Li calmly picked up his cup and took a sip of hot tea.

"It's amazing! Incredible! Dear Alchemist, I think it's time for us to talk about friendship......"

With that, John Chris Morgan lifted the protective scales on his arm and regained his composure and sanity.

By personally feeling the impact of the Ring of Serpents on his body after activation, he finally believed that Lu Li had not deceived him.

Because in just a few seconds, some indescribable energy in the body was quickly extracted, and if it was not cut off quickly, it would be a few minutes at most to lose consciousness.

Lu Li spread his hands with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, let's start." You know, I've been having a bad time these days, and all kinds of troubles are coming one after another, which is really a bit upsetting. ”

"Don't worry, I promise that when we become friends, most of the troubles will disappear in half an hour at most......"
