Chen Rui knew that the two masters were well-intentioned, and this Tetnis was obviously a trustworthy type, so Skye and Da Da revealed the secrets of the masters of the three departments in order to let him get this Inherited by a quasi-grandmaster, alchemy has been improved to a higher level.
Chen Rui thought for a while, and said to Tetnis: "Master, I can learn from you, but I really have a problem that I can't leave Dark Moon..."
"After you listen to the choice I gave you, then make this kind of decision," Tetnis said with a serious face: "You have two choices, first, in the next few days, I will teach you knowledge, including medicine Learning and instrument making. Due to the limited time, you can only teach for one year at most. How much you can learn depends on your understanding. Second, accept a special inheritance brand. As long as I die, you will directly get all Knowledge. This kind of inheritance will allow you to see the road ahead in advance and avoid detours, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, the experience of the predecessors is likely to form a fixed framework that limits your future development. Therefore, the most important It is to transform them into something you can control. What I have to remind you is that if you choose the second option, you will not only inherit knowledge and memory, but also inherit a kind of destiny... which will allow you to face very terrifying opponents in the future, or Will go on a path similar to mine... You must think carefully."
Chen Rui heard something hidden in it, and asked: "Master... Please forgive me, before I make a choice and call you 'teacher', I want to know what kind of fate I will encounter if I choose the second one." , and the current state of the master does not seem to have reached the end of his lifespan, why do you say that his lifespan is only one year?"
Tetnis sighed: "Even if you don't ask this question, I will tell you. My life will be lost to someone else in a year's bet! Once you choose the second way to accept the inheritance brand , will also become the object of some kind of contract, and continue this bet."
This answer was beyond Chen Rui's expectations, and he asked, "What kind of game is it?"
Tetnis let out a long sigh: "It's an alchemist's ten-thousand-year gamble, involving secrets more than 9,000 years ago. The content is a comprehensive test of device making and pharmacy. The two methods allow you to get all the inheritance without omission, but you also have to bear greater responsibilities and risks. The gamble is once every hundred years, with life as the bet, the loser dies immediately, and the winner gets a hundred years of life .My teacher lost his life at the hands of the other party, and now I cannot escape this bad luck... If you accept the inheritance, counting my guidance for this year, it will be a total of 101 years. During this period, you must use Do everything possible to digest and absorb the inherited knowledge, break through my original level on the basis of using it for my own use, and reach the true master level, only then can I compete with the opponent."
Chen Rui was really shocked now, there is such a gamble! With the proficiency of Tetnis's full range of device making and the level of a quasi-master of pharmacy, he is still doomed to fail! The phrase "Only when you reach the true grandmaster level can you compete with the opponent" shows that the opponent is... a master-level all-round tool maker and pharmacist!
There is such a character in the devil world! And has been anonymous!
The so-called genius masters who are proficient in the three lines are not worth mentioning in front of the real masters. Rao Chen Rui experienced a change of mood in Secred Mountain, so he was a little depressed at this time, but he was not discouraged. There is a further opportunity, but a choice must be made.
"Master, what do you mean, if you take part in the gamble after one year, you will definitely lose?"
"I am very aware of my state. Let alone one year, even ten years will not be able to break through to the master realm. After one year, the winning rate of the game is zero, and there is only one dead end. That's why I want to find a disciple who can pass on knowledge , no matter which one you choose, you need to devote yourself to studying, so I suggest you leave Dark Moon."
Chen Rui looked stunned: "Master, what is the background of the other party? What's the deal with the bet and the contract?"
Tetnis was silent for a moment, staring into his eyes: "Call me teacher."
Chen Rui understands that this kind of deeper secret can only be known through the relationship between master and apprentice. Being able to worship such a quasi-grand teacher is definitely an opportunity that alchemists dream of. Even if you don't choose that dangerous inheritance, just choose the first One, being taught by Tetnis, can also benefit a lot.
Judging from the earnest eyes of Tetnis, being his successor can also fulfill the old man's biggest and last wish.
"Teacher." Chen Rui made up his mind and gave a big gift to Tetnis.
Tetnis showed a look of relief, nodded and said: "Very good! I will tell you the whole story first, as for how to choose, it is all up to you."
The matter dates back to nine thousand years ago. At that time, there were two great masters in the Demon Realm, one was Rosenbach, the master of pharmacy, and Luo Luo, the master of tool making.
Rosenbach is a dark elf with many disciples. Luo Luo is a dark goblin. In addition to being an amazing master-level three-line tool-making skill, he is also proficient in ancient runes, but he has never taken an apprentice in his life.
The two masters, one from the south and the other from the north, one is a pharmacy master and the other is an instrument maker. It seems that there is no intersection, but no one knows that these two masters actually have a life-threatening friendship. Lolo was seriously injured in his early years, and it was Rosenbach who tried his best to save him later, but he still left incurable sequelae.
In his later years, Luo Luo found Rosenbach when he realized that his life was short. Rosenbach was also approaching his twilight years and wanted to determine the ultimate successor. Under such circumstances, the two great masters joined forces Created a inheritance crystal that condensed the two people's lifelong learning.
After Lolo made the inheritance crystal, his injury relapsed and he died of mental exhaustion. Rosenbach was also seriously injured. Not long after, a group of outstanding disciples were selected for an assessment competition to determine the inheritor.
In the end, a disciple named Daur won the championship. However, at this time, the big disciple Saman who lost the competition suddenly made a move, severely injured Daur and Rosenbach with tricks, snatched the inheritance crystal, and tried to kill them to silence them.
Rosenbach was originally seriously injured, and now he is even more seriously injured, but he is a great master and one of the crystal makers after all, so he immediately activated a special contract in the inheritance crystal, dividing the inheritance brand into two halves , fell on Daur and Saman respectively, making them both the heirs of the crystal at the same time.
Both of the inheritances obtained by the two are incomplete. Affected by the contract, they can only use the rules to outperform each other in order to completely get rid of the contract and obtain all the inheritance. If they kill each other by other means, they cannot obtain the complete inheritance. will suffer a terrible backlash.
In this way, Saman would not be able to kill Daur, or even allow others to do it, otherwise he would not be able to obtain a complete inheritance. This kind of imprint is very miraculous, and it can be passed down from generation to generation through inheritance during the contract period of 10,000 years.
Not only that, Rosenbach, who hated the traitor Saman extremely, did not hesitate to use the burning life as a medium to launch a curse, that is, Saman's brand cannot be passed on. In other words, as long as Saman fails once, he will really die.
However, the fact is that Saman did not know what kind of fortuitous encounter, but miraculously remained undefeated and survived until now. After so many years, he has already truly reached the master level. In the last competition, he even created a complete set of Eternal Potion, the achievements even surpassed that of Rosenbach back then. It is not very meaningful to gather a complete inheritance brand. In a sense, this kind of gambling can become a way for him to prolong his life.
Chen Rui was secretly startled when he heard this. It turns out that there is such a secret. The opponent is an old monster who has lived for nearly ten thousand years. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How long is this ten thousand year promise?"
"If you accept the inheritance, then your 100 years is the deadline." Tetnis sighed, "To be honest, Saman's strength is already higher than that of Rosenbach back then, unless a miracle happens, otherwise Even if you break through to the Grandmaster, the chance of winning is quite small. So I will give you two choices, it doesn’t matter even if you choose the first one, as long as Saman wins the final victory, he can get rid of the various restrictions and constraints of the contract. Appeared in the Demon Realm. With his status as a dual master, he will definitely be protected by the strongest force, and it will be impossible to kill him in other ways to take revenge."
"Teacher, I'd better choose the first path." Chen Rui thought for a while before making a decision, "The main thing I want to ask the teacher for is the art of making instruments. As for pharmacy... I hope to get along well with a master of pharmacy." A friend learns from the teacher together, uh, you can let him also worship under the teacher."
What Chen Rui was talking about was Aldas. At present, Aldas's strength has reached the level of a senior master. With the guidance of this quasi-grandmaster, it is estimated that there is hope for a higher level. Just in case, Chen Rui doesn't plan to reveal the black potion in hand for the time being, and plans to study with Tetenis for a while, and then we can talk about it.
This choice was expected by Tetnis. Although it is a bit regrettable, it is also understandable. Who wants to gamble with a powerful master who has lived for thousands of years? The old man thought for a while, anyway, he only has one year left to live. This Agulie seems to be only specialized in the art of crafting, so let's pass on the knowledge of pharmacy to another pharmacy master, who can become a good friend of his disciples. You shouldn't have to worry too much about conduct.
"Okay, so our study starts now..."
"Wait a minute, teacher, it's getting late now, I still have to go to the palace to inform the potion master, and then I have something to go to the palace to report to His Royal Highness the eldest princess, let's start tomorrow, I will take that friend with me tomorrow morning Come to pay homage to the teacher."
"Reporting? It's those boring political affairs again!" The old man said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you know how to specialize in art? Don't waste your talent in vain!"
"Teacher, don't worry, I have my own measure. My talent and ability may be beyond your imagination... Don't be too surprised then."
"Surprised, you can get out now." The old man snorted coldly, and simply ignored him, Chen Rui chuckled, turned and left.
