The wine of eternal life has always been a legendary thing, even the gods have never seen the real thing. Wo'er is the youngest among the gods, and is only a little over a hundred years old when considered as a mortal. At this age, he is still young not to mention among the gods, even among the legendary strong men. So of course He has never seen the wine of eternal life, let alone how to prepare it.

However, He is the God of Knowledge. With His priesthood, he can search for information related to the "Wine of Eternal Life" through the origin of the world.

This kind of search is relatively vague, and the results are often confusing. It also consumes a lot of divine power. The key is that it cannot search for the formula of the wine of eternal life, so Woer naturally will not waste his divine power on such a meaningless task. things.

However, not long ago, he received shocking news from a believer.

The believer's ancestor was a pharmacy expert in the wizarding era, and left many secret records. In those records, there is something about the "Wine of Eternal Life".

This wonderful potion can give mortals eternal life. Even in the age of wizards when potions were far more dominant than today, it was one of the most precious elixirs. But not only is it extremely difficult to prepare, it also requires a lot of rare materials. The most precious among them is the flesh and blood of the living true God - the flesh and blood of the incarnation is useless, it must be the original body.

Ordinarily, this is not actually a big problem. In this formula, the true god's flesh and blood is only a very small amount. Not to mention the true god, even mortals don't care about losing this little flesh and blood. But in fact, this bit of flesh and blood is an introduction. Using it as a medium, one can steal a trace of divinity during the preparation of the potion and integrate it into the potion through clever means. In this way, as long as you take the potion, you can obtain attributes similar to those of a divine envoy—in short, you will not age or die due to the exhaustion of your lifespan.

This is of course a good thing for mortals, but it is different for gods. Because of the barrier of the Goddess of Life, only true gods with weak divine power can move around in the world. However, how much divinity can the true gods with weak divine power lose? Even if it is lost just a little bit, it may lead to the collapse of the already precarious godhood and its downgrade from a true god to a quasi-god.

Mortals cannot deceive God, so even if the god knows nothing, as long as he asks Him for a bit of flesh and blood to prepare the wine of eternal life, he can immediately see through the thoughts of mortals. What will happen next

Haha, it goes without saying.

There are only two ways to successfully prepare the wine of eternal life. One is to find a generous god who is willing to grant you a trace of divinity, and the other is to defeat the god and take your flesh and blood by force.

Because of this, the Wine of Eternal Life has not been passed down.

The first one is too difficult, and the second one offends the public. All in all, it doesn't work. Over time, no one cared about the wine of eternal life, and it became a legend.

Wall's believer was a historian and had read the records left by his ancestors. When he heard that "Face of the Void gave divine blood, allowing two legendary mages to complete the Wine of Eternal Life", he was stunned and hurried back to check the information. Finally, after confirming that he remembered correctly, he asked Wo Er prayed and reported the incident.

After learning about it, Wall didn't dare to neglect, and immediately conducted a search without hesitation. Although he could not find the formula and effect of the wine of eternal life, he found out that in the past, gods had indeed become angry because of the wine of eternal life.

Comparing that incident with his believer's statement, Wall confirmed that the believer's information was accurate, and then hurriedly came to report to Sui Xiong.

After learning all the causes and consequences, Sui Xiong scratched his head with his tentacles, feeling a little puzzled.

Did those two legendary mages deceive me

impossible! They simply don't have the ability to keep such a secret in front of themselves. If they had such ability, they wouldn't be only mid-level legends until now.

So why didn't I realize it

He thought about it over and over, but he couldn't understand it, so he had to send a clone to the War God Department to ask Ogmandine for advice.

Among the gods he knew, the God of Strategy seemed to be the only one who might know this method of deceiving the gods.

Augmandine listened to his introduction, thought for a moment, and laughed.

"I understand." He said, "The solution is actually very simple, just don't let them know the truth about the wine of eternal life."

"Ah?" Sui Xiong was stunned.

He never thought of this possibility.

Looking at his expression, Ogmandin knew that he must not have thought of this, and explained to him with a smile: "Our gods are not omnipotent. Although we can see through the hearts of mortals, there are things that mortals themselves don't know. How could we know? So to hide it from us, there is a very simple but very effective way, which is to let the mortals who come to deal with us not know it."

"For example, take the Wine of Eternal Life, the two people themselves don't know that the Wine of Eternal Life is effective by stealing the divinity of gods. Of course, you can't see this from their hearts. In their impression, the Wine of Eternal Life It is an extremely rare legendary secret medicine that can give mortals eternal life, but it must borrow the flesh and blood of the living true god... That's all, they don't know the principle of this thing at all."

Sui Xiong nodded. He had peeked into the hearts of the two legendary mages before, and what he saw was indeed like this.

"Then, here comes the question... Who told them the formula of the Wine of Eternal Life? Why is the crucial part missing from this formula information?" Ogmandine narrowed his eyes, "Obviously, then Talent is the real culprit who plots against you!"

Sui Xiong nodded, with a sneer on his lips.

"I originally planned to extort a compensation, but now it seems that I may have to kill a few people before I can settle the matter."

"This matter is not as simple as killing a few people." Ogmandine shook his head and said, "Although this matter sounds simple, in fact, it is teasing two legendary mages who have lived for thousands of years like monkeys, and it is even more successful. I deceived you... Whoever has the confidence to do this must not be a mere mortal, he must be a true god!"

Sui Xiong was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.

Even if a mortal could devise such a plan, where would he have the confidence to put it into practice

It's like everyone on earth knows that the security of the President of the United States is actually not very good. More than one person has been assassinated since ancient times, but how many people really dare to assassinate the President of the United States

If there is no support from anyone, no matter how hard ordinary people calculate "I want to assassinate the President of the United States," they will probably not dare to carry it out in the end.

"But... who could be behind it?" Thinking of this, he frowned again, "Who would arrange such a scene just to make me lose a little bit of my divinity?"

"I don't know." Ogmandine said, "But one thing is for sure - now we go to the Lord of Mysteries, and He will definitely give you an explanation!"

Sui Xiong was stunned and saw his eyes gleaming: "Spells, potions, remnants of the wizarding era... these things are exactly the scope of the clergy of the Lord of Mysteries and the God of Spellcasters under him. No matter who designed this conspiracy, they will always It cannot be separated."

"But... could it be that someone deliberately designed it just to make us conflict with the Lord of Mysteries?" Sui Xiong asked, "After all... If the Lord of Mysteries is behind it, this plan is too clumsy and straightforward. "

"There is definitely not the Lord of Mysteries behind it, but we should go find the Lord of Mysteries." Ogmandine said, "No matter who designed it like this, or what that guy wants, what matters is whether we can get anything from it. benefit?"

"Because of the God of Knowledge, you have a conflict with the Lord of Mysteries. This conflict is irreconcilable, and there will eventually be a battle sooner or later. In this case, it is completely in your interest to weaken the Lord of Mysteries first." He was filled with murderous intent. He said, "As for who designed this conspiracy, it actually doesn't matter. As long as he continues to be your enemy, sooner or later his flaws will be revealed. Just kill him when the time comes!"

Sui Xiong thought carefully for a while and had to admit that Ogmandine made sense.

Unless he is willing to hand over Wall, he and the Lord of Mysteries will ultimately be enemies rather than friends, and there will be a battle sooner or later. In this case, why not take advantage of now to weaken your opponent

This time, I have made a name for myself. If the Lord of Mysteries wants to take action, he can just call his friends and kill him at once, which can be regarded as eliminating a huge hidden danger.

What's more... Even if you can't kill or defeat the Lord of Mysteries, as long as you force the opponent to bow his head this time, it will be enough to gain huge prestige. The spell casters in the world are very smart. Seeing that the Lord of Mysteries is no match for them, how can they stubbornly continue to be tied to the chariot of the Mystic Tower Federation

As Ogmandine said, no matter who designed this plan, it is always beneficial and harmless to go to trouble the Lord of Mysteries now!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

There was also murderous intent in his smile.
