Not only was Gu Yu stunned for a moment, but the little old man was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Hehe, I never thought my first guest would be an oriental man."
The language of this sentence was very obscure, but Gu Yu miraculously understood it.
The little old man's mouth opened and closed, and it was obviously sunken in, as if he had lost all his teeth. The skin that was too skinny couldn't stretch the frame of the body, forming layers of wrinkles.
The muscles around the eye sockets were so congested that strange gullies were formed, loosely surrounding the dull yellow pupils—this was an old man on the verge of death.
"..."
Gu Yu stared at the other party closely, his attention raised to the extreme. The world-famous great alchemist did not leave much marks, only a portrait that has been handed down widely, and he happened to have seen it before, which is almost the same as the person in front of him.
Nicolas LeMay!
It is said that the only one who refined the Philosopher's Stone and declared his death in the 15th century was Nicholas LeMay!
"Don't be too nervous, please sit down."
The little old man smiled hoarsely, pulled out a beautiful chair from the void with a casual pull, followed by another touch, and the square desk became a delicate wooden case.
There is also a set of wine vessels on the case.
"It's been so long since I've talked to people, I hope I remember these etiquettes."
The little old man picked up the silver wine jug and poured two glasses of amber wine. There were fine and small sediments floating up and down inside, exuding an indescribable smell.
"This is the liqueur I made myself, I hope it suits your taste."
The old man held a cup first, took a sip, showed a very nostalgic look, and then looked at the other party with some expectation.
Gu Yu paused, and the warning line in his heart was gradually lowered, because he couldn't feel any malice. He also picked up the wine cup and took a sip, the mixed and strange taste flowed slowly on the tip of his tongue, closed his eyes for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Ginger, cinnamon, sugar, alfalfa, nutmeg, caraway and pepper."
"Oh!"
The little old man was very pleasantly surprised, and whispered: "It's all correct, how did you guess it?"
"I used to be a perfumer."
"Oh, no wonder no wonder!"
The old man had a good impression of this profession, so he raised the cup slightly and drank it down.
In his time, food resources were scarce, black tea, the favorite in Britain, had not yet become a national habit, and coffee, the favorite in Gaul, had not yet become popular in Europe. Even if he is a powerful man, he can only cook some dark drinks for his own pleasure.
But I never thought that after hundreds of years, an oriental man would explain the essence in one word. His attitude was much more enthusiastic, and he said with a smile, "You must already know who I am?"
"But I still want to hear from you to confirm that you are really Nicholas LeMay?" Gu Yu asked.
"Not bad." The old man nodded.
"I've heard about it for a long time!"
Old Gu arched his hands, and said, "My name is Gu Yu, and I come from the Kingdom of Xia."
"You don't seem to be very surprised. Your power system is also very strange... Oh, forgive me for not dealing with the outside world for hundreds of years. Since you can find this, it means that the outside world has been turned upside down. Can you tell me, an old man Say?" LeMay said.
"Of course, I just don't know where to start?"
"Just after 1427 (the year Flamel declared his death)."
Hey, thanks to Gu Yu's cultivation all the way, constantly accumulating knowledge, he has dabbled in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Otherwise, with his scumbag real body, he really can't tell.
Immediately, he combined the extraordinary context of Xia Kingdom and Gaul, and briefly introduced the history of practice in the late period of spiritual energy decline.
"..."
After listening, Lemay remained silent for a long time, before sighing for a while, and said: "Thank you for your generosity and sincerity, well, I know you have many questions, and I will try my best to answer them for you."
Gu Yu thought about it, but didn't ask why you are here? where is this place? What happened to the Philosopher's Stone, but directly asked: "What connection do you have with the soul world?"
Flame was obviously surprised. After looking at him for a few seconds, Fang said: "That's right, you can find my domain space, which means that you have already achieved a lot in the soul."
He poured another glass of wine and talked while drinking, which meant a long talk.
"I was born in this city, and I worked as a scribe when I was young. I was often asked by the nobles to copy some rare manuscripts, and it was then that I first encountered alchemical manuscripts. Later, on the occasion of my 23rd birthday That day, an angel entered my dream and told me that I would receive a magical book. Not long after, I exchanged 2 florins for an ancient book, which is named by you "The Book of Jewish Abraham". Book". I am not a fan of God, but I really thought that an angel blessed me. I studied that ancient book painstakingly and learned alchemy, including the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone. But when I delved deeper and became stronger, I discovered a big secret."
"What secret?"
"you guess!"
MMP!
Gu Yu was excited to listen to the gossip, but was suddenly slapped in the face, feeling extremely helpless.
Flamel smiled, showing a very lively temperament, and continued: "I discovered the true function of the Philosopher's Stone. It is not a panacea, nor can it make people immortal, oh no, it can make people Immortal, but in another form.
Its truth is actually a perfect soul container. I tried to divide my soul into one, and suddenly discovered that the separated soul actually grew inside!
Later, that angel entered my dream again and urged me to send the Philosopher's Stone to a place called Fire Eagle's Nest in Siberia, where someone would pick me up...
Thinking about it now, maybe I was timid, cautious, and hesitant when things happened, but I felt more and more wrong. After many searches and confirmation, I basically sorted out this thread.
The so-called angels actually come from the soul world, and the purpose of refining the Philosopher's Stone is to find a body for them! "
"Hiss!"
It's rare for Gu Yu to lose his composure. The high-level life in the soul world, which he has come into contact with in the Himalayan snow mountains, is so powerful that it is frightening. Isn't the container that can carry their power even more powerful
"Is there no maximum limit for this container? Or can it hold any kind of soul?"
"I have done a lot of experiments. As far as I am concerned, it is no problem to hold my complete soul."
"Then your soul strength..."
"hehe!"
Knowing what he meant, Flamel smiled suddenly, then stretched out a finger like a dry branch, and tapped lightly.
Buzz buzz!
Gu Yu frowned suddenly, only to feel that his ears were filled with extremely irritable and lingering noises. Immediately afterwards, there was another bang, and his consciousness dimmed.
The whole person seems to be dragged into a strange and magical space, hundreds of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions of colorful thin lines are flying by.
I am struggling in the vortex composed of these thin lines, drifting away, unable to escape.
Buzz buzz!
Gu Yu was terrified, especially when he found out that his domain space was completely swallowed up by the other party's domain due to its low level. This shock reached its peak.
Such a powerful soul power made him instantly confirm a fact: using the analogy of Xia Guo's realm, Lemay is the first fairyland power he has seen that still exists in the world!
